Chapter 1174: Temptation

The captain reported: "Your Majesty, General Abu said that there is something important he wants to tell Lord Liu, it is about the military deployment situation of the Great Food Army in various places, the situation is urgent, and if it is delayed, it will have a great impact on our army!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was a little puzzled, "Why didn't he say it here just now when he had an important military plane, and wait until he went to the camp tent that was arranged?" And you want to tell Lord Liu? Lord Liu, do you know? ”

"Maybe he forgot about it here just now, and didn't remember it until he got to the camp where he was settled?" Liu Shan finished talking about this possibility, and then asked the captain: "Did something happen just now?" ”

The lieutenant thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Nothing happened, the imperial doctor treated him, smeared a plaster on him, and left some medicine for internal injuries, and left a few words of advice and left." However, after the imperial doctor left, General Abu wanted to get out of the camp, saying that it was boring in the camp and wanted to walk around the camp to breathe. Beizhi remembered Lord Liu's instructions, took good care of General Abu, and did not let him go out, and later General Abu told Beizhi that he wanted to see Lord Liu??????"

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and said to Liu Dan: "Lord Liu, why don't you go and meet Abu and see if the news about the deployment of the Great Food Army in various places is useful to us?" Oh, by the way, Chu Ge, you can go too, when you were guarding Rous, you were beaten badly by Abu's generals, how can you say that Abu is also a person worthy of your respect! The news about the death of Ziad, Daoud and Said, among others, can tell him! ”

Liu Dan and Chu Ge stood up and hugged their fists and said, "Yes, King!" ”

Seeing the two leave, Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and studied for a while, he found that although the location of Behedashir Castle is not dangerous, but this castle is located on the east, west, north and south traffic arteries, so the nature of the castle is mainly based on defense, built very strong and tall, and the information obtained through the military also shows that there are many defensive fortifications in this castle, and it is difficult to capture it in a short time, even if it can be captured, the price to pay is very large.

Now there are more than 50,000 Persian servant troops in the army, in Zhao Ziliang's eyes, although these Persian servant troops are similar to cannon fodder, but if their casualties are too huge, it will inevitably cause a decline in morale, and even cause a large-scale escape.

Suddenly, Zhao Ziliang's gaze moved to the southwest, staying at the position of Shiraz, Shiraz is located in the basin of up to 1,500 meters above sea level in the south of the Zagros Mountains, here is the agricultural basin area, this is an ancient city, one of the most important cities in southwest Persia, and it is also the main road to Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food Country, if Shiraz is controlled, then the entire area around the Zagros Mountains north of the Persian Gulf will be controlled by the Western Qin army, militarily, This would pose a great threat to the flanks of the caliphate's army in the Citadel of Behedashir.

Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, thinking and weighing, and after a cup of tea, he stopped and shouted, "Wei Gao? ”

"The minister is here!" A young man in silver armor stood up and clenched his fists in response.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Shiraz City is the most important city in southwest Persia, and it is also the main road from here to Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food Country, according to the spies of the East Factory, Shiraz has 3,000 troops garrisoned, and the strength of other small cities and towns around it is almost negligible, if our army can occupy Shiraz, then the entire south and south of Bosnia will be in our hands, and we can also form a huge threat to the flank of the caliphate's army, this king will give you 3,000 fine horsemen, each with two horses, do you dare to raid Shiraz?" ”

Wei Gao was overjoyed, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "Why don't you dare?" Dare to ask the king, when will the ministers leave? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Set off in two days, let's make preparations and mobilization matters first, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and the secretaries present must not have any leakage!" ”

The ministers and generals clasped their fists one after another: "The ministers obey the king's orders!" ”

There is a distance of nearly 1,000 miles from Behedashir Castle to Shiraz, and it takes about five or six days to arrive at the medium and high marching speed of the cavalry, all the way are highland and mountain terrain, and the marching speed is not very fast, and the cavalry should be able to maintain a moderate marching speed if equipped with two horses, and it will take six days at the earliest, and there are several small towns along the way, and the population is not large.

Wei Gao is a young man, he is only twenty-three years old this year, he is already a deputy general of the First Army, his military rank is not high, but his position is one of Zhao Hu's deputy generals, he is quite talented and accomplished in commanding and training troops, and he also has a number of remarkable achievements in commanding operations, he is the best among the young generation of generals in the Western Qin Army. Now in the Western Qin Army, those who are less than thirty years old and have a military rank above the deputy general of the first army can be counted in a slap, Wei Gao is one of them, and the others are Zhao Bei, the commander of the Xuanfeng Army, Zhang Ben, the commander of the Huya Army, Yang Zhengrong, the deputy general of the Slave Army, and Meng Yaoting, the deputy general of the Ninth Army.

Among them, Wei Gao, Zhang Ben, and Yang Zhengrong all had no background, and they climbed up step by step from the bottom soldiers by their own efforts. Wei Gao is a member of the Wei clan in Chang'an, but he did not have any background and background in Western Qin, when he was young, he fled with his parents and came to Western Qin, and joined the army at the age of fifteen. Zhang Ben and Yang Zhengrong are also the descendants of the displaced people, they came to settle in Xiqin with their parents, and showed amazing military talent after enlisting in the army, the Western Qin army has always attached importance to military merit and military talent, and those who have talent and military merit will be vigorously promoted, and regardless of origin and nationality, if you want to get promoted and promoted, military achievements and military talent are hard indicators, as long as these two hard indicators cannot be reached, even if the background background is strong, it is in vain.

Zhao Bei is the son of Zhao Hu and a clan disciple of the Western Qin Kingdom, and the aura of the clan disciple does not hide his military talents. And Meng Yaoting is the nephew of the princess Lady Meng, and he is considered a relative, if he is not given special care, it is impossible, as a relative, he can use resources in the army far beyond others, but he can be the deputy general of the Ninth Legion without any water.

However, it was said that Liu Dan and Chu Ge came to the camp tent of Bo Xilin, and the man who was lying in the camp to recuperate from his injuries was secretly relieved when he saw Liu Dan, and he was worried that he would not be able to see Liu Dan, if he had been locked up in the camp tent, his purpose would not be achieved, and if he wanted to achieve his goal, he could only confide in the Western Qin side some useful news or something that interested Zhao Ziliang, the king of Western Qin.

And Bo Xilin wanted to get up, Liu Shan hurriedly stepped forward and held him down and said with a smile: "General Abu is injured, you don't have to get up, just lie down, just now I have asked Imperial Doctor Liang before I came, and the Imperial Doctor said that the general's injury needs to be cultivated, otherwise it is easy to fall ill!" The king also personally inquired about the general's injuries, instructed the imperial physician to treat him well, and asked us to convey our greetings to the general! ”

And Bo Xilin hurriedly said: "Thank you for your care!" This time, I asked you to tell your Excellency that I would like to report on the deployment of troops in the Persian area of the Great Food Army, hoping that it can be useful to Your Majesty, and I also want to express my sincerity to Your Majesty and the officials and generals of Western Qin! ”

Liu Shan nodded, and arched his hand: "General Abu has a heart, I will wait for the king and the Western Qin Kingdom to express my gratitude to the general, about military matters, General Chu and General Abu will talk about it, this official is only a civilian official, not proficient in military affairs, in this regard, General Chu is an expert!" ”

And Bo Xilin turned his head to look at Chu Ge, and said in surprise: "It turns out that Your Excellency is General Chu, and I have heard for a long time that General Chu is the pillar of the Western Qin Kingdom, and I am really happy to see the general here today!" ”

Chu Ge smiled and hugged his fists and said: "General Abu is too high-spirited, when I was guarding Henglus City, I was defeated by the general's general Saide and fled, I am not even as good as a general under the general's command, how can I be worthy of the title of the pillar stone of the Western Qin State?" ”

And Bo Silin shook his head and said: "I know about this matter, at that time, the Great Food Country was still the Umayyad Dynasty, and Sayyid was the governor of Khorasan Province, he was not my subordinate at that time, and the city of Henglus guarded by the general was breached because of the general of the Stone Kingdom who collaborated with the enemy, if no one collaborated with the enemy, I believe that it would not be easy for Saeed to capture the city of Henglus guarded by the general!" ”

Chu Ge smiled, didn't continue the topic, and asked: "Speaking of General Said, a few days ago, he led his army to fight with our Western Qin Army General Erzhu Xianzhong, did the general listen to the results of the battle?" ”

"I've heard a little bit, but the specific situation is unknown, I only know that General Said was defeated, I don't know how he is?" Although Bo Silin pretended to ask casually, Chu Ge still saw the eagerness in his eyes, and Chu Ge said: "I have a few things to tell General Abu, which are about Saeed, Daoud, and Ziad. General Said was killed on the spot in the battle for the Tach Heights that night, and we have counted his relics and followed him

If General Abu wants to go to worship, General Ben can send someone to bring the general over, and we can also hand over his relics to the general, hoping that one day the general can pass them on to his family! ”

And Bo Xilin nodded: "Okay, then it will trouble General Chu." What about Ziad and Daoud? ”

Chu Ge said: "Yesterday I received the news that the Great Food Army led by Ziad and Daoud was pursued by our army General Zhao Hu and wiped out on the way through the Luti Desert to Behedashir Castle, and General Zhao Hu will send someone to send the relics of the two generals in a few days, as for their bodies due to the hot weather in the desert, they can not be stored and transported for a long time, so they can only be buried on the spot, with tombstones, and the burial specifications are consistent with their identities before their deaths!" ”

And Bo Xilin endured the grief in his heart and said to Chu Ge: "Thank you, General Chu, you are truly admirable generals!" ”
