Chapter 112 Negotiation
Hemuti's face turned pale: "Don't panic, keep calm, keep calm!"
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
He swung the sword in his hand, and several heads fell to the ground. However, at this time, the flood continued to rush in, and many people drowned on the spot. Who cares about you?
"Fuck you!"
A general suddenly attacked Hemuti and said grimly: "General, you are cruel. I am sorry that I cannot be loyal to you!"
Hemuti's face changed drastically: "How dare you!"
Before he could finish his words, the long sword had already pierced his back. Hemuti spat out a mouthful of blood. When others saw that Hemuti was seriously injured, the temple army lost its backbone and order.
"Get out of the way, let me go first!"
"Don't block me!"
"roll!"
"ah!"
All kinds of sounds, sounds of running away, sounds of fighting, sounds of pushing, sounds of drowning, sounds of screaming.
The Loulan guards had already prepared waterproof equipment, so they remained calm and killed people at will, reaping the lives of the temple soldiers.
Tonight.
Outside the city of Kucheng, blood is bound to flow like a river. No, it should be blood flowing along the river...
These landlubbers of the Temple Army have no combat capability in the water at all.
The battle continued like this.
Soon, the death squad on Qin Changfeng's side destroyed the granary and rushed into the battlefield.
The temple army began to flee.
And at this time.
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves loud enough to make the sky collapse and the earth split.
The army of the Arab Empire has finally arrived!
They rode on Arabian horses, wielding the sharpest scimitars in the world at that time, and came from all directions.
The Temple Army, even if they could escape the raging flood, was destined to be unable to escape the cavalry of the Arab Empire.
…
"what sound?"
"What's that noise?"
In the Kucheng Temple.
Muzad, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up with a look of panic on his face.
The whole city cheered, screams sounded in the distance, and horses neighed around the temple. Muzad's heart skipped a beat, and he fell off the bed with a pale face, asking as he ran, "What's that sound? Tell me, what is that sound!"
"Where are the people?"
"Who will tell me?"
"Where are the people?"
He suddenly felt panicky and came to the magnificent and brightly lit temple.
However, the gods' servants did not see it. He only saw Mi Re, who had washed himself clean and was dressed in white, sitting there.
"you……"
"Who let you go?"
Muzad shouted angrily.
Mire smiled faintly: "The guards have come in. Your temple army has been defeated."
Muzad was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "The Temple Army was defeated? How is that possible? They had an army of 200,000! How is that possible! Just relying on a bunch of rubbish like you? Impossible..."
At this time, the door of the temple was finally broken through by the guards.
The neatly-organized and murderous army slowly walked in, protecting the third princes Halik and Reguli.
Muzad shuddered.
Because he saw Hemuti, who had already turned into a bloody man, being escorted in, and his head suddenly felt dizzy: "This, this, this..."
Really lost?
He shouted angrily: "Hemuti, two hundred thousand troops, all gone?"
Hemuti looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Reguli laughed and said, "Lord God's Messenger, you still can't believe it? Listen, the whole city is celebrating..."
Hazard spat out a mouthful of blood with a terrified look, "Impossible, this is impossible, how could the temple be defeated!"
One hundred thousand troops!
Even if we behead them one by one, it will probably take several days!
How could it be possible that the situation changed completely overnight? Didn't they say that the city would be captured on the third day?
Reguli bowed slightly and smiled sweetly: "Lord God's Messenger, do you want to go out and see those people who once admired you?"
“I, I, I…”
Before Hazard could finish his words, he was tied up.
At this time, the sky was beginning to brighten.
The whole city cheered and was in high spirits. Many people worshiped the Tianshan Mountain, believing that it was the God of the Tianshan Mountain who saved them. From the fourth quarter of the first hour of the Chinese zodiac, the fighting continued until dawn. At the beginning, it was the guards who were harvesting, but later, the guards were tired, and the Arab cavalry who had just rushed to help started harvesting again.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and felt lucky.
Although there was a flood, the enemy had a hundred thousand troops after all. If the remaining troops escaped from here and fled to other places, it would definitely be a disaster for the local people. I am not afraid of regular troops, but I am afraid of disorderly troops!
Because the regular army still has military discipline, but the rebel army has completely lost their bottom line in order to avoid punishment and to fill their stomachs!
The Arab cavalry arrived just in time.
Reheman, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly and said, "Sir, this Arab army is very strong."
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded.
Strong?
More than just powerful.
The Arab army is the only one in history that defeated the Tang army during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, there were too many factors that affected the battle situation in the Battle of Talas. The Tang army had tens of thousands of soldiers against 250,000 Arabs. In addition, the Tang army's slave army suddenly turned against them, and the Arab army defeated Gao Xianzhi's Tang army. In this battle, 50,000 Tang soldiers died. It was called a battle that "changed the course of human history" by historians. This war also determined the issue of dominance in Central Asia.
From then on, the Arab Empire completely occupied Central Asia and the Middle East, becoming extremely powerful.
If there was a way, Liu Zheng would never bring such a powerful enemy into Loulan... After all, as mentioned before, mercenaries and reinforcements are the most unreliable and also the most dangerous!
However, Liu Zheng had no soldiers to use, and Yinzhou was unable to come to his aid in time...
The most important thing is that... Loulan is not their own country after all.
Liu Zheng didn't care, and secondly, he didn't want a powerful kingdom from the Western Regions to suddenly rise near his Yintan City. Therefore, by sending away the temple and welcoming the Arabs, he could also contain the power of Loulan in the course of history.
Reguli is taking advantage of him.
How could he not plant another bomb in Loulan?
That's what politics is all about, with back and forth and deception.
There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
"Keep the Arabs out of the city and never let them in!"
Liu Zheng explained.
Rehman naturally knew this truth.
Fortunately, these Arab troops attracted by the falcons were relatively honest and did not have any excessive thoughts about Loulan. When they had defeated the temple army, they set up camp ten miles away.
"Mr. Xiang!"
"Mr. Xiang!"
" Protector of the Nation!"
When Liu Zheng returned to the city, the whole city lined the streets to welcome him with tears in their eyes.
Reguli, Halik, and the rescued Mire were already at the gate of the palace, waiting for the return of Liu Zheng and Rehman.
The people were also cheering and calling for the heroes of Loulan.
"Mr. Xiang, I'm lucky to have you, hahahaha!"
Mi Re came over first and gave Liu Zheng a big hug.
Reguli was very jealous and wanted to hug him, but she held back in the end. However, there was no telling how much affection was contained in her eyes. After this battle, Halik killed many people with their own ulterior motives and seemed to have grown up overnight. He was no longer as immature as before. Facing Liu Zheng, he bowed deeply.
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
It seemed that he also understood what was happening.
"Protector of the Nation, the palace has prepared a feast, it's time to take a good rest!"
Reguli invited warmly.
Liu Zheng laughed and nodded.
Although he was very tired, he also knew that it was finally time to divide the cake. Not only to divide the cake, with the end of this battle, the situation in Loulan would undergo a huge change, and the three parties would have to conduct a negotiation!
Mi Re was rescued by Liu Zheng and was very enthusiastic about him. He embraced him and laughed, "Young Master is really a man of great talent. He turned the whole situation around by himself! If the Temple Army succeeds, I'm afraid the whole Loulan will be devastated!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They came to the palace again and took their seats one by one.
Reguli picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, let's raise a toast together to thank the Protector of the Nation!"
Everyone responded with a roar and thanked loudly.
Liu Zheng looked very humble and kept saying that he didn't dare.
After a few more glasses of wine and some false pretenses, Reguli finally looked at Mire with a smile: "I didn't expect that Lord Mire has such a high status in the Arab Empire."
Liu Zheng's eyelids twitched, the sex scene was about to begin!
Mire also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Mire is just a preacher. I will go wherever Allah sends me!"
In fact, Liu Zheng was also a little shocked today. He thought that the falcon could summon some Arab armed caravans, which was already amazing. What he didn't expect was that what was directly summoned was the regular Arab cavalry!
It seems that Mire's status in the Arab world is indeed very high. No wonder he was controlled by Muzad in the first place.
Reguli's beautiful eyes moved, and she sighed deliberately: "The temple was brutal, and forced the people to fight. Most of the people in Loulan have repented. Although the royal family used this to consolidate the regime, the faith was lacking. Moreover, there are many temples in Loulan... I wonder if your religion is interested in preaching in Loulan?"
Everyone was speechless.
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up. This Reguli was indeed not an ordinary person.
There is a huge amount of information in this sentence.
She knew that the Arab cavalry was outside the city, and their purpose was to give Mire a bargaining chip. If the negotiations failed, it would be easy for a second siege to take place. At this time, Loulan, which was in ruins, could no longer withstand such an attack.
So she simply took a step back and threw the problem to Mi Re!
clever!
cunning!
Who said that I am a naive person?
Sure enough, when Mire heard this, he was so moved that he burst into tears and knelt on the ground: "Mire, on behalf of our religion, kneels to thank the queen for her grace! God Allah is above, Mire promises that if the queen allows our religion to preach in Loulan, our religion will definitely not develop the Vatican's army to prevent future troubles!"
Absolutely amazing!
Liu Zheng laughed in his heart.
This is also a drama queen!
Who doesn't know that in Islam, the trade team is the army? Your promise is just a fart.
Reguli was naturally no pushover, she laughed and said, "Lord Mire, please stand up. You are a divine envoy, a divine envoy of Loulan, with the same status as the king. You must not kneel down!"
"puff……"
Liu Zheng finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
Reguli glared at him coquettishly, and immediately became charming and seductive. She seemed to be saying, what's the matter, do you have any opinion?
Others immediately looked at their noses and their hearts.
We saw nothing, nothing...
as expected.
Hearing this, Mire was even more afraid to get up, and said with a bitter smile: "Queen, this is absolutely not allowed! Islam does not have the concept of divine messengers, and believers are all equal. How dare they override the royal authority?"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's settled.
This is something to talk about.
Reguli was even more delighted with smiles. She cried out "Ah!" and quickly told Halik to help Mire up.
As long as you don't override the royal authority, what is there to be afraid of?
Everyone raised their glasses again.
Then, Reguli looked at Liu Zheng with a smile: "What about the Protector of the Nation, Mr. Xiang, what do you want?"
The tone was so coquettish that it made one's bones go soft.
Everyone.
Once again, the eyes look at the nose and the nose looks at the heart.
