Water Margin people

"Why don't you go back? The war in the Western Regions is over, and you should go back to school!"

Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"But His Majesty is still at the front line!"

Xin Qiji pointed to the west and saw that Sun Lei and his 80,000 troops were still outside the Pamir Mountains.

"The battle on the front line is the army's business. We just need to do our own thing. Now that the Western Regions and the Tibetan Plateau have been pacified, the army should return to the capital in batches!"

Zhu Wu opened his mouth and said that this time the army went out to fight, and after conquering the territory they would control it, and then they would be stationed there for a long time, and the army in the Central Plains would be rotated in batches.

"Then I won't go back. Let others go first!"

Xin Qiji said.

"You are the only child in the whole army. Who else do you want to replace you? Principal Li will also go back, and you can go with him!"

Zhu Wu said without question that Xin Qiji was originally a non-staff member and could not do anything if he stayed in the Western Regions, so it would be better to send him away directly.

"The principal should go back too!"

When Xin Qiji heard that Li Qingzhao also wanted to go back, he could only hang his head, because he knew he couldn't escape.

"Boy, don't be so depressed. Go back and study for a few years and then you can travel around with the army!"

Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"really?"

Xin Qiji asked with some surprise.

"Most people would rather stay at home, but you want to run around!"

Zhu Wu shook his head, but there were quite a few people in the army who had the same idea as Xin Qiji. They were all almost crazy about fighting, they were really war maniacs.

……

Persian Plateau.

A large army is constantly hacking and killing the "civilians" in front of them.

The remaining Seljuk nobles did not surrender. They had their soldiers disguised as civilians and ambushed on the roads in the mountains on the plateau.

The Qi army would not show any mercy to those who rebelled. Anyone who approached them would be an enemy and must die.

And it was not the soldiers of Qi who took action. These people were not worthy of the Qi army's attack at all. The foreign vassal troops were enough.

"You lunatic! You actually massacred civilians!"

Sanjar roared in his cage.

"Bah, you old dog, you have the nerve to talk like that. What are you thinking about? Do you think we don't know? These are all leftovers from our games!"

Ajisi spat at Sanjar in the cage. Sanjar's moral blackmail had no effect on them. Killing was normal in this land. No matter whether it was the army or civilians, they would be killed. This was how the Turks conquered the Oghuz and Persians.

"Don't waste your time talking to him. Let's capture more cities first!"

Mahmud spoke up.

"Isfahan is just ahead! It will be a great achievement if we capture it!"

Ibrahim pointed to the front and said that Isfahan was the capital of the Seljuk Empire. As long as they took it, the Seljuk Empire would be truly destroyed. This great empire that had existed for a hundred years would be destroyed.

"I didn't expect that we could actually invade the Seljuk capital. Sanjar, do you have any ideas? You bastard, I sent so many caravans from Gaochang, but they were all killed by you Seljuks. Today I will kill you all!"

Bilego looked at Sanjar fiercely and said that the Seljuk Turks were very barbaric and hostile to outsiders, and would even rob and kill merchant caravans.

"You bunch of lunatics, working for that Oriental man will not end well. You will go to hell and suffer torture for eternity!"

Seeing that all the Qi people were gone and only a group of foreign army generals were present, Sanjar started shouting.

"You still want to turn us against us? Are you just a lamb in a cage?"

Several people looked at Sanjar with contempt. How could a prisoner say such things?

"Then Sun Lei is just using you. Return to the Lord's arms. We are all brothers!"

Sanjar said immediately.

"Yes, brother. That's why you have been killing my Khwarezmians and invading the Karakhanid Khanate all these years! You can just use words like brother to deceive those ignorant people. We only care about power!" Ajisi sneered. Now he still wants to use words like missionary work to deceive them.

"Don't worry about him, just let me kill him!"

With a roar, the assembled foreign troops once again charged towards Isfahan.

……

"These people are really cruel!"

Looking at the corpses along the way, Lin Chong shook his head and said, these foreign soldiers were so cruel that they killed the enemies they saw.

"This is perfect, it saves us from having to do it."

Wang Jin said that although he was not against slaughtering the enemy, it would be a troublesome thing if a killing really started. The Qi army was not like those foreign troops. After a big battle, their bodies would be stained with a lot of blood, which was not allowed. The army would rest in a safe place to ensure cleanliness.

Wang Jin had a deep impression of this hygiene regulation after arriving in the West. The weather here is hot and it is easy to get sick if you don't pay attention to hygiene, and disease is a big threat to the army.

"Report, General, a large number of cavalrymen with black masks are entering Isfahan City ahead, the number is more than 20,000!"

A cavalryman came to report.

"It looks like others want to take advantage of this opportunity to reap the fruits of victory!"

After listening to the report, Lin Chong said that these cavalrymen masked with black cloth must be from several countries under the western plateau.

"They want to steal things from my Qi country? I think they are courting death!"

Du Fu said coldly.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Wang Jin nodded. After fighting all the way, he already had a clear understanding of these enemies. Their combat effectiveness was very average, their equipment was also very average, and their tactics were so simple that they were not worth mentioning.

……

The Fan army got the news first.

"Ha ha!"

Sanjar laughed wildly and with great pride.

"You found those people!"

Ajis was furious. Isfahan was right in front of him, but someone else got there first.

"The Black Caliphs are our Seljuk vassal states. They will fully support me. The plateau will always be our Seljuk people!"

Sanjar laughed, his reinforcements finally arrived.

"The Black Caliphs! The Abbasids!"

Everyone immediately realized that the Black Caliphate was the Abbasid Empire, a kingdom that had existed in this land for many years. It had once been prosperous, but later declined and succumbed to the Seljuk Turks.

"You are really proud to ask your own vassal state for help!"

Bilego looked at Sanjar sarcastically.

"Idiot, the Abbasids are here to help you? They are here to take over this land, you are nothing but a joke!"

Ajis looked at Sanjar and said, this guy actually thought that the Abbasids were here to help.

"Impossible, their Caliph promised me, and so did the rest of the kingdoms!"

Sanjar is convinced.

"Push him to the front and let this idiot know how stupid he is!"

With an order, Sanjar's prison car was pushed to the front.

"What should we do?"

Everyone looked at Anbahai, the most influential foreign general in Qi.

"What else can we do? Attack the city! Take Isfahan!"

An Bahai spoke directly. (End of this chapter)
