Text 852 Troubled times are coming
In a few decades, just like the Tang Dynasty in history began to weaken, the two empires invariably began the same but different fate.
Since then, Datang has entered a period of weakness, and his control over Anxi is like holding a loach with his bare hands, running for a while and grabbing it again, and after repeating it several times, it is finally ...... Lost!
With the re-emergence of various herdsmen, the Tang Dynasty completely lost control of the Anxi and Yunzhong capitals, thus beginning to shrink its territory and its national strength began to decline day by day.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, in the next few decades, with the continuous occurrence of civil wars in the country, although it did not survive like the Tang Dynasty, it experienced a change of dynasty cleanly, and the white-clothed food controlled by the Umayyad Dynasty became the black-clothed food controlled by the Abbasids.
Nowadays, the domestic aristocracy of Da Shi dares to be ruled by the Umayyad family, who worship white, and the only one who wears black clothes and worships black is the Hawariji family, which is the family led and firmly controlled by Hassan.
Even the Hashemite family did not have Hassan's courage and courage to face the rule of the Umayyad family, and made the most direct opposition, perhaps this is also related to Hassan's father Ali, who lost his status as the monarch of the Great Food in the competition, so he used this black body to silently and resolutely oppose white.
"There may be more than one yellow finch, there is an ancient saying in the Tang Dynasty called: 'Sandpiper and clam compete for fisherman's profit', the powerful Aviye and the powerful Hassan are fighting for me, why can't other nobles be the yellow finch? As for me? I'm not going to be a big eater, I'm just a hunter and only loves prey. Li Hong put his hands behind his back and looked at Hassan, who was slightly inferior in appearance than himself, and said.
"Can you, hunter, do me a favor? Pull out that yellow finch and let me fight with Avier without worries, or let the civil war of the Great Eclipse become an endless deadline? This will not be in vain for the purpose of your visit, and it will also allow you to sit back and relax when you return to Chang'an. Of course, Hussein had promised you the extra benefit that after my Great Eclipse entered the civil war, no one would be distracted from the territory there, and no one would covet it in the future. Hassan still smiled gently, as if nothing in this world could make a frown or become nervous.
"You know what? Whether it is a hunter or a prey, a praying mantis or a yellow finch in this world, they are all chess pieces of the world. Hunters, in particular, seem to be powerful, but if they encounter a ferocious animal, the hunter will die if he is not careful. What's more, I haven't seen what you said now, if I help you in a hurry, it won't do me any good, Tocharian or Khorezm or Jiling City, now it's barren, all the wealth has been plundered, I guard those territories, it will only make my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty exhausted for the unwarranted territory, needlessly consume a lot of national strength, and the gains outweigh the losses. Li Hong motioned for Hassan to sit down opposite, and Hua Meng immediately placed a set of tea-making utensils on the table.
Li Honggang was about to make tea for the powerful Hawariji patriarch Hassan, but he was unexpectedly picked up by Hassan, and according to the way of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty, he began to skillfully make tea for the two of them.
"I like the Oriental way of drinking tea, and I have a lot of different kinds of tea from your country at home, and they are all new teas." Hassan skillfully said to Li Hong: "Your Highness, you are not short of time in the big food, you must be going back to Datang soon, as a hunter, you naturally have to be careful of some fierce prey on the road, but those fierce prey are competing with other prey for territory, and there is no time to take care of the hunters who are ready to return with a full load." What's more, your help to the prey is also to help yourself, everyone knows that the other prey is still coveting your woman, helping me is actually helping yourself. ”
"Well, good tea art, it seems that during this time, I haven't practiced my Tang people's way of drinking tea at home, and I have a heart." Li Hong took the tea handed over by Hassan, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled the aroma of the tea leaves, gave a thumbs up and looked at Hassan and praised.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment."
"You're very confident." Li Hong put down the teacup and looked at Hassan and said.
Hassan wanted to help him get rid of the Sultan threat, or to focus the attention of the Hashemite family on himself or on the other nobles, as long as the attention of the Hashemite family was not on him, Hassan.
In this way, as for the Cordo family, or other nobles, it is obvious that there is not much threat in Hassan's eyes, and he is also confident that his family is capable of fighting Avie.
Even knowing that Li Hong's purpose was to plunge the Great Food nobles into an indefinite civil war, he was still full of confidence that he could defeat Avier and then unify the Great Food again as soon as possible.
Therefore, he did not stop or oppose Li Hong's current chaos of Da Shi, and even felt that the chaotic situation of Da Shi was the most powerful situation for himself.
But only if the Hashemite family, which does not seem to be a threat, but can threaten him, loses the threat to him or Aviya when he fights against the Aviyer family.
He wants to fight a fair war with the Aviya family, and he wants to prove to the other nobles of Dashi who is truly orthodox under the witness of the scriptures.
And the other nobles of Dashi are obviously unable to confront the Hashemite family, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, an external force, can confront the Hashemite family.
As for His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, who is only in Dashi, if after killing his rival Sultan and Saleh, he blames other nobles, or is found out by the Hashem family that Li Hong did it, it has nothing to do with him, Hassan, as long as the Hashem family's attention is not on himself and Aviye, but on others.
But Li Hong obviously guessed Hassan's true purpose, so the two continued to test each other's bottom line between the two.
It is impossible for Li Hong to help him Hassan or Awiya get rid of the Sultan when there is just chaos now, but there is no real chaos.
Because he is a hunter, he is now in the big food, and he can only return to Datang with confidence after the prey starts to fight.
Therefore, before their big food nobles were in the melee, Li Hong would definitely not favor and help any nobleman, even if Aviye's requirements for himself were very similar to Hassan's.
Li Hong is waiting, and when their melee begins, even without the help of Hassan and Aviyah, he will get rid of the Sultan and then return to Datang.
Then, after returning to Datang, he cooperated with another larger family, Kordo, to support Kordo to the strength that has the ability to compete with Hassan and Aviye, and continue to let Da Shi fall into a long melee, instead of watching Hassan and Aveye duel male and female, and re-unify Da Shi.
The Hashemite family can't take advantage of it themselves, after all, they are the third largest family after Aviya and Hassan, and the Sultan is not on the right path with him, although he has received a lot of gifts from their family, but that can't do it.
After all, the Hashemite family is now somewhat satisfied with their position, and it is very likely that their ambitions for the position of the Great Food Monarch are not as strong as those of a new powerful nobleman, so in Li Hong's opinion, Kordo is the best partner.
Moreover, after returning to the Great Eclipse, it seems that he still has a card in his hand to use, such as putting a person in Jiling City and leaving him to fend for himself.
Hassan poured tea for Li Hong again, and then said with a gentle smile: "But Your Highness, you are very cautious, but I can understand, give me half a month, I will give you a clear answer, when the time comes, I hope that the Hashemite family is no longer able to covet the throne of the monarch of the Great Food, and you ...... You can also rest assured and calmly return to Datang, whether it is by land or water, there will never be a member of the Hawariji family in your sight, and Hassan will not fight back, and he will take revenge on your noble friend. ”
"Wait and see?"
"We'll see." The two picked up the teacup and touched it lightly in the air, and then drank it all, as for whether the big food will fall into chaos after half a month, and whether the Hashem family can really no longer be the family that Hassan and Aviye are afraid of, we can only wait and see.
Hassan left, Li Hong didn't send him, presumably Hassan didn't want him to send it, just like Hassan said before leaving, I appeared in the capital of Dashi, which is a promise that there will be no Havalij family armed on your way back to Datang, unless I want Aviye to easily solve my Hassan.
Therefore, after Hassan left the tenement building, where did he hide in the big food capital, it seemed that he had nothing to do with Li Hong.
Three days later, Aviye met Li Hong again in the palace, Aviye's face was black and shiny, and he could even vaguely see that the white hair on his head had increased a lot.
"I promise your request, you can take Yeyue back to Datang, but you must ensure that by the time you leave, the Hashemite family is no longer a threat to me, and I don't want to see that Sultan again, Saleh's contender to inherit the throne of the Great Food Monarch, still alive." Aviye looked at Li Hong, who was looking at the palace, and said in a deep voice.
"And Hassan, are you sure that he will no longer be a threat to Saleh? Or is it a ...... between you and Saleh? ”
"It's a matter between our father and son, it has nothing to do with you, this is my token, even if the whole food is turbulent, but other families will not embarrass you on the road for the sake of Allah." A heavy, golden gold token appeared in Aviye's hand.
