July, the ninth day of the first month.

The book in the northwest direction of the Talas River was delivered by Hongyan to Broken Leaf City.

Although Gao Xianzhi's troops suffered heavy losses, they finally successfully rendezvoused with Yangyangyang and defeated a 20,000-strong pursuer again, and the Tang army, which had entered the border of Central Asia, had now arrived at a small group in the Oghuz tribe.

However, the collusion negotiation cannot be done in one sentence, and the follow-up materials also need to be transported by Broken Leaf City, in the words of Yang Yang Yang in the biography, they still need Mo Xiaobai's support.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Mo Xiaobai said: "Send a message to them, let them wait for a while, the Abal of the Qarluq Department has already led the light cavalry to find them first, I believe that with the presence of the leader of the Qarluq Department, the Oghuz people will believe that our Tang people are sincere to cooperate with them." ”

"The lord expected that it should not be bad, it is said that the Oghuz tribe is now forced to move west to the Aral Sea, although it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, but after all, it is bitter cold northland, and it is not a day or two for these Western Turkic tribes to want to go south."

Since entering the dungeon, Guo Jia, as the intelligence director of the Huimengke, not only has to move with the army, but also has to digest the information from all over the black-clothed guards. It is also with the stacks of information sent by the black-clothed guard to his hands, Guo Jia can control the arbitrary situation thousands of miles away.

Seeing that Guo Jia was so confident, Mo Xiaobai smiled and said, "What did Feng Xiao find?" ”

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this: "The black-clothed guard once came to report, according to a small number of Cao Guo and Kang Guo business travelers, although the Oghuz Department is far away from the eastern royal court, it has always had close contacts with the Gelulu Department and the Hui Qi Department. In the past, they would not go to the Western Regions, but would go to the Mobei grassland to trade with the Hui beggars and other tribes. ”

As a typical steppe tribe, the Oghuz still retain the 'characteristics' of the nomadic people.

There is no fixed place to live all year round, but he yearns for prosperity.

If they can't live in a prosperous place, they go south and rob everything they think is valuable.

But in the Western Regions, although the surname Zhaowu Jiu is a grass on the wall, most of them will obediently pay tribute when they ask for help in the Tang Dynasty, so the Oghuz people do not dare to blatantly take the looted goods to the Western Regions and sell them.

It stands to reason that Mo Xiaobai, as an envoy of the festival at the moment, should seek justice for those Hu Shang surnamed Zhaowujiu, but at this moment he smiled with his eyebrows: "These remnant tribes love to fight and make trouble, this is very bad, since you want to go south, then carve out a piece of territory for him." ”

Guo Jia was noncommittal: "If the lord wants to let such Turkic tribes send heavy troops, he can get a lot of capital. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, Datang can't afford to directly send troops into that land. You can promise him a country of Huoxun, and even help him build cities and temples, don't the Turks also have steppe beliefs? In my opinion, this is very good, and it should be supported more. ”

Watching his lord's fluttering decision on the survival of a country in the Western Regions, Guo Jia's eyes flashed with deep thought: "Huo Xun has been domesticated by the Great Food, and it is indeed hopeless for the Tang Dynasty. Is it appropriate to just help the Turks build temples, so why not send Taoists and monks to educate? ”

Seeing that Guo Jia mentioned the two gates of Buddhism, Mo Xiaobai shook his head: "West Asia originally worshiped Buddha, but do you see that you can still see the Buddha temple in black clothes now?" If you want to compete with Mu Xilin, who is dressed in black, you need a strong army and a more aggressive faith. You have to be darker and spicier than them, otherwise the incense battle will not take advantage. ”

"Datang, regardless of whether it is a Buddha or a Tao, if they are comfortable for too long, they are either thinking about immortality or thinking about escaping the world and being high, and they expect them to fight with the Green Sect, they will only lose and lose, and most of them will not agree, and it is likely that they will not be able to work."

Mo Xiaobai said that there is also a basis, in the past, under the prosperity of Zhenguan, even Taizong ordered that Master Xuanzang, a famous monk who had obtained the true scriptures, come to the Western Regions as a Buddhist adviser, specifically to guide how to make the people of the Western Regions more Buddhist, Xuanzang did not agree, did not obey the order, and hoped that the monks of the Li Longji dynasty could compete with the Shiites in the battle of incense?

This kind of joke is really not funny at all.

The monks of the Tang Dynasty can't fight with the Shia, the Taoist priest is slightly better but not much better, not to mention that Mo Xiaobai's plan in his heart is not suitable for the Buddha and Taoism to interfere, so he has to find another thug to deal with the Shia.

"The lord thinks that the steppe gods of the Turkic people can compete with the belief of the great cannibals?"

"It's not a countervail, but they're extremely destructive."

Mo Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and said in a meaningful voice: "If you want to come to Fengxiao, you should also know that in the Western Regions today, there are always some stories of big food circulating, do you think these stories are beneficial?" ”

Guo Jia is so smart, he has never been exposed to these things before, but as soon as Mo Xiaobai mentioned it, he immediately woke up: "What the lord said, this is a rumor to confuse the public? ”

Mo Xiaobai gave an approving look: "It's not that I think, it's the Turkic steppe gods who think that these stories are taboo, and daring to spread them is all to confuse the public, and they will be expelled at least and punished at worst." ”

What does the spread of a belief rely on on the surface?

Scripture?

Koran?

It's neither right nor right to think so.

The Bible and the Quran are indeed good things to preach doctrines, but if more people want to believe and believe, they actually rely on secondary commentaries on these scriptures, or story-based propaganda.

For example, the 'One Thousand and One Nights', which will be completely unveiled in the next few hundred years.

The history of the entire Shia expansion from west to east is the way of the formation of the Thousand and One Nights from nothing. And the invincible Green Sect has only been deflated in one place in the pace of expansion, and even fell on its heels.

Tianzhu!

It is not Tianzhu Buddhism that has done this, but the true indigenous beliefs of that region.

Brahmanism!

The struggle between Brahmanism and the Green Religion can be described as ruthless, iron-blooded, murderous, and vicious.

Mo Xiaobai didn't know much, but he just made an article on the Thousand and One Nights, and taking out a little bit casually is enough for the current Shiites to eat a pot.

"According to the original plan, we will unite with the Oghuz Ministry to annex the country of Huoxun, and our army will march west across the Green Ridge, and we can test the opportunity to get in touch with Kangguo. In the Zhaowu Nine surnames, Zhongkang and Cao Erguo are the most valuable to woo, and I believe that as long as they are allowed to annex An and Shi, they should know how to choose. At that time, Broken Leaf City will also be garrisoned and supervised by the Qarlu Ministry, so that these Turkic states will serve as a new barrier for the Tang Dynasty in the northwest of the Western Regions. ”

Mo Xiaobai compared it according to the map, and then said with a smile: "As long as the Tang Dynasty confides in them a little bit and acknowledges and supports them, they have their own grassland beliefs." Then it only takes a slight touch and they will understand what to do, and with the mind of the Turks, this blade of faith will surely see blood when it comes out of its sheath. ”

As Mo Xiaobai's voice landed, Guo Jia's heart was roughly clear.

Even with his wit, it is easy to sketch a tragic picture of the future on this battlefield.

"My lord, this move is a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, it is easy to hurt yourself."

"Heh~ It seems that Fengxiao has forgotten another thing, with the Huaxia Mo family holding this blade, at least in this war, I don't have to worry about it hurting myself."

Mo Xiaobai's eyes flickered with a smile, and he said: "This matter is top secret, there is no need to let Momen get involved in supporting the grassland gods, they only need to supervise the Western Regions, and let the black-clothed guards do the rest for them." ”
