The failure of Byzantium really made Anna disheartened for a long time, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was a curse or a blessing, Roman women were born idle, and were accepted into the court by Li Jie, although she was not too satisfied with the identity of one of the many favorite concubines, Anna still tried her best to integrate into the political environment of Damin.

The political struggle in the court of Fujian is not so sharp, compared with the courts of previous dynasties, the queen and concubine of Fujian are more free, and Li Jie is willing to hand over some tasks that the concubines are interested in to them to complete, intrigue starts from idleness, Zhen Huan in the Qing court drama, Concubine Qi has no career except for revolving around the emperor all day long, and regards the emperor as the only career, so it's strange if she doesn't fight.

If Zhen Huan and Concubine Qi racked their brains every day to calculate how many goods the Fujian Commercial Bank had purchased, those sources of goods had suffered a famine, those goods might be in short supply, how many candles should be in the palace, how many silk satins, how much expenditure, busy heels hit the back of the head, and they wanted to sleep quickly after they were busy, and they had the energy of intrigue, it would be strange.

So in the face of Anna's enthusiasm, as well as the outrageous behavior of not taking the little princess who was born to be busy with work, Li Jie still chose to be tolerant, and after the child was full moon, the little princess named Li Weilia was entrusted to the kind-hearted Hou Xianniang, Li Jie gave her the official title of the governor of the river governor, and from the beginning of Li Rang's war, Anna was allowed to follow in the form of an overseer.

However, the women's politics of Da Min still look up to Wu Meiniang's neck, it is not a precedent in history that there are no women to interfere in politics, there is also a Lu Lingxuan in the history of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who leans towards the government and the opposition, known as the female minister, but it is just a title, unlike Wu Meiniang, who is upright and upright to be the prime minister of Damin, if she wants to make a difference in political affairs, Anna must withstand the pressure of Wu Meiniang.

In Anna's persuasion, Li Rang had to bite the bullet and go to Wu Meiniang again, explaining with a tangled stumble.

"Lord Wu Servant, it's not that the Hezhong Army doesn't want to obey the order, but, but the Governor of Basra, Jude, has taken refuge in my Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate, and was awarded the post of Envoy of the Mesopotamian Dao by the last general, if he is allowed to enter the court at this time, it will inevitably seem that my Damin is too frivolous, and the change will be a dismissive sight, which is not conducive to the next war."

After saying this, the beads of sweat on Li Rang's head dripped down again.

Li Rang is the king of Hezhong County, and what he proposed is also reasonable, but unfortunately, who is Wu Meiniang? The mature and majestic Dan Feng's eyes flickered, and Wu Meiniang was already roaring in annoyance.

"The king of Hezhong County is not going to take the prime minister, this city is still hung with the banner of the Abbasid Dynasty, how can he say that he will take refuge in the Protectorate of Hezhong? Besides, what right does the county king have to recruit generals into the capital? ”

Li Rang, who could ask this, was dumbfounded, and lamented that a little fool can't lie, and the angry Anna once again blocked in front of him.

"Sister Wu doesn't know, the king of Hezhong is busy with the war, so he has missed Basra, but Jude has indeed joined the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate, if you don't believe it, my sister can invite him out to confront my sister."

Holding her fists, the heroic Anna was full of confidence and talked eloquently, but this remark was obviously evasive, and the topic was again involved in the established fact that Jude had taken refuge in the Metropolitan Protectorate of the River. Seeing her bright brown pupils full of confidence, Wu Meiniang's forehead couldn't help but jump a few wisps of green tendons.

This guy is now over seventy years old, and he even participated in the Ummah commune established by Muhammad in Medina in his early years, participated in the war against Mecca, and even participated in the war against Mecca and even Syria during the Roman Empire, and can be regarded as the oldest patriarch of the Arab Empire, thinking about this person's stubbornness, he bit the corner of his mouth in annoyance, and Wu Meiniang still nodded.

"Then there's Sister Lao."

Feeling relieved, Anna saluted slightly, then turned around and went to the Governor's Palace in Basra, the eye of the storm. Holding her shoulders, Wu Meiniang looked interested and waited to see the excitement, waiting aside, the sweaty Li Rang was full of apprehension, and the beads of sweat continued to flow on the ground along the gaps in the armor, and a small stall had actually accumulated.

It is ridiculous to say that the Arabs are so scruples and haters of the Great Min, but the Governor's Palace in Basra is still a Tang-style building left over from the occupation of the Min army, and in the suffocating wait, for about fifteen or sixteen minutes, the scruffy beard and prostration-looking Judge staggered out with Anna, who was also in a worried mood.

Looking at this stubborn bad old man, Wu Meiniang unceremoniously showed her holy decree.

"The king of Min has an edict, and the governor of Basra is the general of Zuowuhou, and he will enter the Hajj on the same day to see him, General Jude, get ready, and go with the prime minister."

Li Rang's sweaty forehead immediately turned to the messy bearded face of the judge, and the suffocating silence lasted for a few minutes, unexpectedly, the Arab governor of Basra shook his head very stiffly, and refused in his unskilled Chinese: "This Prime Minister of Fujian, I, the judge, have promised to submit to the command of the king of Hezhong County and serve as the envoy of the United States. ”

Full of shock, for the first time I felt that things were a little out of control, Wu Meiniang opened her little mouth slightly in surprise, and Anna raised her little brain proudly like a little fox who stole grapes. Finally completely relieved, Li Rang respectfully turned to Wu Meiniang, and told jokes in apology.

"Aunt Wu, the matter has come to this, you see ......"

"Hmph, the king of Hezhong County should think about how to explain to King Min." Flicking her sleeves angrily, her mature and coquettish cheeks were full of annoyed expressions, Wu Meiniang was directly angry, and turned around and left with the forbidden army under her command.

Seeing her back, Li Rang almost didn't cry again, in his mind, he had already imagined that Li Jie's anger erupted in front of him like a volcano, thinking about this consequence, Li Rang couldn't help but complain to Anna who was shaking her little tail triumphantly.

"Aunt Anna, you've made me miserable again."

"What are you afraid of?" With a slightly victorious and proud look, Anna waved her hand nonchalantly and pointed out outside the city: "Now the most important problem for King Min is how to quickly get through the situation and defeat those Bedouin barbarian armies outside the city, and King Min will definitely not be angry with you again." ”

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Listening to Anna's definite answer, between Daddy's anger and the decisive battle out of the city, Li Rang obviously chose the latter.

Outside Basra, the Iron Army in the River, the Qianniuwei and the 40,000 Yemeni nomadic cavalry have been confronting each other for more than half a month.

Intelligence is far less developed than that of Great Fujian, and the army of more than 40,000 Bedouin is still stupidly squatting less than five miles outside Basra at this time, even if the camp of the Fujian army has been outflanked in its north and south, it is still dead and immobile.

In fact, the situation of the Arab armies is not good.

After years of war, the barren products of the Arabian Peninsula have been very difficult to support, and it is necessary to supply 40,000 troops to leave production for a long time and go out to fight, and Yemen is not Mecca, which has rich Syrian and Egyptian provinces, and the supplies transported from Oman are intermittent, and in more than ten days, many people have begun to slaughter camels to satisfy hunger.

On this day, in the bleak battle horn, the military camps of the Fujian army in the three directions of the southeast and north once again beat the military drums, and the dense Fujian army held long and short blades, and they were extremely skilled in arranging a strict battle array, especially the Chinese army under the city of Basra, wearing a fierce golden helmet, these days Xue Ne, who has become famous in the iron army in the river, is like a golden armor god of war with the sun on his back, arrogantly out of the city gate.

However, such a scene has been experienced many times these days, and there is no much fuss, the lazy Basra Yemeni army also sounded the horn, facing the three-way Fujian army, and thousands of cavalry came out of the battle, compared to the sharp spirit of the previous days, at this time this army obviously has a sense of business, the archers are lazily hiding behind the camels, and the spearmen wearing rudimentary armor are also in a mess to form a military formation, only a few well-known warriors of the Bedouin tribe are full of war spirit and drive the war horses to meet the battle in three directions.

These days, the Arabs do not take the initiative to attack, and the iron army in the river does not take the initiative to attack, and the rest is the military generals between well-known warriors.

From the Bhazan tribe of Yemen, riding a particularly tall Bedouin general wearing half-body horse armor, walked arrogantly in the front, about a few tens of meters away, the Arab fierce general had raised the black iron spear in his hand with great vigour, arrogantly pointed at Xue Ne and shouted.

"The Wu Na Min barbarians are defeated, yesterday grandpa spared your life, why do you dare to come to death today?"

Not to mention, the cultural exchanges that collided in the war are still very decent, these words are all shouted in the Guanzhong dialect, and there is really such a Chinese flavor, but unfortunately, when he heard Xue Ne's ears, he not only did not get angry, but smiled easily.

"Ba Meng, it's not that the master is fighting with you today, there are others."

These words confused the Arab generals who greeted them, but as Xenne's cavalry stepped aside, the sound of heavy horses' hooves trampled on the earth and rumbled, bringing an unusual bad feeling, and all the Arab chiefs who were watching from a distance had their eyes straightened and shouted in disbelief.

"Judge, do you really want to help the Min people fight the Arabs?"
