Since ancient times, in order to conquer a country with a vast territory and a large population, in addition to defeating the country's army head-on, it is inevitable to face the constant struggle of the passionate people led by people with lofty ideals in the country.
And when the country still has a strong civilization, the cohesion and fighting spirit of the country's military and civilians will be stronger, and this kind of resistance will be extraordinarily powerful. Even if it is temporarily suppressed, the will of civilization will not perish, and there is still a possibility of a comeback after a hundred years.
Although the Tang army successfully captured the plateau, this does not mean that the war is over. In terms of domestic population, Dashi in its heyday was not much worse than Datang.
For Tang Jun, to use a war to destroy Dashi, the most important thing is to make a quick decision, and there must be no delay. Next, the army will attack the Mesopotamia, and the plateau behind must be stable. If there are many civil rebels who attack the grain roads and make trouble in the rear, it will definitely be a disaster for the Tang army.
When he was in the Tang Dynasty, every time Li Ye attacked a place, a team of civil servants would take over the local government affairs and carry out the work of appeasing the people, and he rarely went on business trips. But Dashi is a foreign country after all, and the most important thing is that the civilization is different. It is not so easy for civil servants to calm down the place quickly.
A hundred miles to the southwest of Nissa City, in a small town, Emil Xi Luchi, the deputy head of food, knocked on the door of an ordinary courtyard in the wind and snow. After a while, the door was opened, and Xi Luchi glanced left and right at the streets and alleys, stepped into the yard, and went straight to the main house.
There were already a lot of people in the room, and the small room was packed to the brim. Seeing Xi Luchi come in, everyone quickly got up to salute.
"Don't worry about these customs, I don't have much time to stay here, and I have to rush to the next place. How is the situation, you report it quickly!"
The travel-worn Xi Luchi sat down on the main seat, glanced over everyone's faces, and saw that although most of them looked solemn, they were not too disheartened, so he was a little relieved.
Ma Lun's strategic deployment of eight hundred miles in the east of the plateau was shattered early because of the fierce Tang army's offensive and rapid progress, and the destruction of the recruiting team, which prevented monks and supplies from being in place as scheduled.
Unable to resist the Tang army's offensive head-on, Mu Lun could only withdraw to the Mesopotamia, and called on the kings from all over the country to prepare to defend Baghdad. But Mullen did not completely abandon the plateau, or in other words, did not give up carrying out military operations on the plateau.
Before leaving, he left Xi Luchi behind, let the other party lead the military affairs on the plateau, gathered civilian forces from all over the country, cooperated with the small number of elite troops who had not withdrawn earlier and hid in the countryside, and cooperated with the Tang army when they attacked Baghdad. The rear is unstable, and it is difficult to look at the end.
There are not many troops who can stay. After all, the Tang army's offensive is fierce, and Mu Lun doesn't have enough time to prepare. In addition, if the number of troops is too large and the target is too large, the Tang army will definitely notice it. Hunting and besieging them will be sacrificed in vain, so the number of troops hiding in the countryside is limited.
If Xi Luchi wants to take action, he must gather civil forces and give full play to the advantages of the Crescent Sect's large number of believers and spread all over the place. In this way, the power is hidden among the people, not only the concealment is greatly increased, but as long as the organization is proper, the power that can be gathered will be huge.
"My lord, there are more than 30,000 people in Quxi Town and its surrounding areas, including nearly 2,000 monks and more than 100 Qi training monks."
"There are so many
"
"My lord, Quxi Town is located in a remote place, and there is no particularly strong existence, so when the Caliph issued the call-up order, not many monks here were called out.
"The recruiting team that went out from Nissa City was led by Jia Liji. They were sabotaged by the Tang Dynasty and suffered heavy casualties. However, many of them escaped after being injured. They fled the battle, fearing that they would be held accountable, and most of them sneaked into the countryside. There are quite a few monks in Xi Town."
Amahe, a middle-aged qi training monk, reported this.
Xi Luchi looked happy, this is good news, "You covertly gather the monks in batches, and tell them that the crime of fleeing before the battle can not be held accountable, and the caliph will give them the opportunity to perform their crimes and make meritorious deeds. As for other monks, the true god Issue a summoning order in name, let them obey and be ready to act at any time!"
Speaking of this, Xi Luchi pondered for a moment, looked at Ama and closed his eyes, and asked thoughtfully: "Now that the Tang army has occupied the plateau, do the monks still have the will to fight?"
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
Amahe hurriedly said: "Lord Amir, don't worry, the monks in Quxi Town are all loyal believers of the true god, and they are willing to die for the true god! The Tang people invaded our country, killed our compatriots, robbed our land, and blasphemed the true god. Even if we all die in battle, we will swear to the death to drive them out!"
These words are righteous and awe-inspiring, but they may not be completely in line with reality, but they still reflect a strong will. Xi Luchi nodded and praised: "As long as you make meritorious deeds, the Caliph will not be stingy with rewards. Once the Tang people are expelled, you will live forever." Enjoy the glory of the true God!"
Everyone in the room said in unison: "For the sake of the only true God, expel the Tang people, and swear to the death!"
Leaving the yard, Xi Luchi didn't stop, and braved the strong wind and snow to rush to the next place. Now the plateau has been captured by the Tang army. In order to control the place, the big monks are cruising outside all day, and Xi Luchi dare not fly in mid-air.
The meeting with Amahe and others just now made Xi Luchi very excited. Although the army was defeated in the frontal battlefield and lost the country, the belief in the true god still exists firmly, and it will not disappear so soon.
The believers of the New Moon Sect have worshiped the true God for a long time, so they are still willing to be the soldiers of the true god and die for the true god.
"There are hundreds of thousands of monks in the entire plateau. Although the masters of the priesthood will definitely be noticed by the Tang people, they will either be killed or imprisoned and controlled, but the power of ordinary monks should not be underestimated."
Xi Luchi speculated on the number of monks he could mobilize based on his inspections over the past few days. This number made him hopeful for the future, "From the current situation, it is necessary to use the power of the people and let the monks drive them to resist the Tang army. It is absolutely feasible. With the cover of the people, it can also reduce the possibility of Tang Jun noticing abnormalities."
Before Mullen left, he gave Xi Luchi a clear arrangement on the actions that Xi Luchi should take.
Ma Lun doesn't need Xi Luchi to gather an army of 100,000 people to attack important cities occupied by the Tang army and harass the Tang army's troops. He only needs Xi Luchi to organize monks, with hundreds or thousands of people, to harass the Tang army. Can.
The important thing is not to cause much damage to the Tang army all at once, but to use teams of monks or even ordinary believers to create an accident in a vast area, even if it is just to kill a patrol team of the Tang army and assassinate a civil servant of the Tang army. are also useful.
so that the dots form a line
, Lines become planes, and with continuous actions, the combined action results will be great. When the Tang army's rear is unstable and the order of the various places collapses, and then gather forces to carry out key attacks, it will be easy to succeed.
Mullen's intention was to use Baghdad to block the Tang army head-on for a period of time, and at the same time let the crescent believers on the plateau act on a large scale, so that the Tang army fell into the "full resistance" of the crescent believers, and finally got tired of coping and was swallowed up bit by bit. , tortured to death.
"The Tang army has not many troops, and they cannot disperse and garrison a vast area, and they must concentrate their forces to attack Baghdad. Once there is a large-scale turmoil in the rear, it will be difficult to deal with it. As long as the chaos expands to a certain extent, with the background of the New Moon Sect and the call of the true god If there is no force, the common people will follow the monks to rise up against the Tang army!
"As long as I arrange it well, I can dispatch monks at hundreds of places at the same time, even if each action is small, it will be enough to cause chaos.
"At that time, concentrate the elite and kill a few Tang Dynasty garrisons who came to make peace, and the momentum will increase greatly, and the people will follow us to expel the invaders. It will not take long at all. The Tang army on the entire plateau will follow the trapped There is no difference between a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!"
Thinking of this, Xi Luchi couldn't help but shine brightly in his eyes. He didn't get carried away, he stabilized his mood in time, looked around to see if there was any follower, and quickly disappeared into the mountain forest path.
On the afternoon when Xi Luchi left Quxi Town, a large number of Tang soldiers passed by, escorting a group of civil officials and scribes. A famous soldier went door to door and knocked on the door. With the cooperation of monks from the Western Regions trading firm, the officials patiently explained to each other Datang's strategies to appease the people and soothe people's hearts.
Because Li Ye had been preparing to attack Dashi since five years ago, not only the monks of the western regions business houses, but also the civil servants could speak the local language, and there were not many obstacles in the communication between the two sides.
Er Gouzi, who got off the horse, supported the pocket, looked at a young civil servant, unfolded a notice written in Dashi characters in his hand, and explained it to A Mahe politely with a smile on his face, although the other party did not refute but He also looked like he obviously didn't want to hear it, and his heart was filled with anger.
He said to Niudan beside him: "These big cannibals are so rebellious, it really needs to be dealt with! In my opinion, those who don't cooperate should be arrested, gathered together and beheaded, so that everyone can see. At that time, these barbarians will naturally know how to bow their heads and obey their ears, why should they be so polite to them?"
Niudan slapped Er Gouzi's backhand with a backhand, and said angrily: "What you learned in Chang'an Academy, you have learned from dogs? Now if it is useful to kill, you still need it Is this chirping?"
Er Gouzi managed to help Douhou to a perfect position, but was slapped by Niudan. For his handsome and stalwart image, he had to continue to adjust the subtle angle of Douhou with both hands.
Er Gouzi said unconvinced: "These believers of the Crescent Sect are more stubborn than the other. Our measures to support the people are so generous, but they don't know how to be grateful. It's like we owe them something. Are they really not afraid of death? ?”
Niudan saw these big cannibals, although he was afraid of Master Wang and did not dare to disobey in words and deeds, but his face was as cold as a stone in a latrine, so he couldn't help but sigh.
He said: "No matter what you say, Dashi is a big country, and the New Moon Sect is the most powerful sect in the world. These people are naturally arrogant. It is indeed not easy for them to bow their heads and obey us willingly."
