Chapter 206 War is the continuation of politics

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Rumors of the coming war quickly spread to every corner of Samandria, and even the news that Nasr II had converted to the Shiite sect, which had been very popular just now, was suppressed.

Now all the Samani people know that Juer Khan, who is called the Glorious Khan of the Khans, came out of the grasslands in the northeast.

This Ju'er Khan was three feet tall, with eyes bigger than an ordinary person's head. He could smash a gap in the wall of Bukhara with one punch.

He ate five cows, twenty sheep, and a pair of boys and girls as snacks in one meal. He never drank water, only human blood.

This is no longer a human being, but a devil from the cold northern grasslands!

The Hezhong area at this time was actually a relatively warm farming and civilized area, and nomadic people from the north often came south to harass them.

However, the Hezhong area has an advantage, that is, the farming areas and nomadic areas are distributed in such a way that there is me among you, and you among me.

Therefore, there is no shortage of war horses in farming areas, which greatly improves their ability to deal with nomadic cavalry.

Of course, this is especially because the fighting ability of the real local nomads is really not impressive.

In the entire Hezhong area, threats have always come from both the east and the west, namely Persia, the great food in the west, and the Peach Blossom Stone Dynasty in the east. This is their biggest threat.

But the Samanid dynasty itself was Persian, and the Taohuashi dynasty had long since declined. Therefore, it has been almost a hundred years, and the river area has not received much threat.

"This time is different. Juer Khan first defeated an army of 30,000 troops in the direction of Tashkent, and also captured and killed the governor of Tashkent Province, Wazir Ali Durav.

Then he destroyed Bugla Khan from Peach Blossom Stone. It is said that he has unified the entire Peach Blossom Stone and has 500,000 warriors under his command!"

A "Brother Understanding" wearing a leather jacket, with a mysterious face, led a group of people around the city and said in a low voice.

The people around him suddenly took a breath of cold air, five hundred thousand warriors! I am afraid that there are not even half a million adult men in the entire Saman Kingdom. How can we defeat the terrible Juer Khan?

A thin man, trembling all over, asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

It is said that Juer Khan is still a pagan. What will everyone do if he comes in? Will we have to bear high religious taxes like those stubborn Zoroastrian Christians?

"This depends on Prince Hamid. The prince is in charge of the heroic Ghulam Guards and a large number of Ersalia's standing army. The God Warriors are also willing to obey the command of His Highness the Prince.

As long as Prince Hamid is willing to take action, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."

Brother understand quickly prescribed the medicine, and people around him suddenly felt that he had a backbone, and Prince Hamid seemed to be very capable indeed.

After they dispersed, they spread the news that Prince Hamid could defeat Juer Khan everywhere.

But they didn't know that after everyone dispersed, Brother Dong and the thin man ate something and then hurried to the next place. Such rumors were spreading everywhere in Bukhara.

.....

Someone is trying to harm me!

Prince Hamid has a thick beard, but it is very neatly groomed. His small Chinese character face looks particularly majestic, and anyone who looks at it will praise him for his extraordinary bearing.

This is also the reason why he can quickly gather a large number of followers, because he looks like an emir.

Good looks are a very important bonus at all times and in all countries.

For example, if two people have similar abilities, but one looks like Yanzu and the other looks like Zhiwei, people will choose Yanzu.

Even if Yanzu's ability is not that high, people will choose Yanzu.

Today's Prince Hamid of Saman Persia's 'Yanzu' has encountered such a problem. His family affairs are known to everyone, and Prince Hamid knows that he definitely does not have much talent in the military.

The claim that he can lead the people to resist the invasion has ulterior motives.

His ability to continue to persevere under the suspicion of his father Nasr II over the years, apart from his ability to fight within himself, is actually a result of his majestic face-turning.

"Your Highness, this must be the treacherous minister Bala Ami who is targeting you. What Ju'er Khan? Humph! Ali Duraf doesn't have a single Ghulam guard under his command, so killing him is nothing.

Adulal, who had led an army of 30,000 in the battle, held Ju'erhan in a position where he could not move and was still three feet tall. It was obvious that someone was exaggerating on purpose!"

Seven or eight confidants were discussing at Prince Hamid's residence. Everyone believed that the so-called Juer Khan invasion was just blown out and was a conspiracy against Prince Hamid.

‘Ahem!’ Seeing that everyone had finished expressing their opinions, Prince Hamid coughed twice and looked around at everyone.

"Since everyone thinks it is a conspiracy, how are they going to carry it out? How should we respond?"

"This conspiracy is nothing more than trying to play two roles. If the prince expresses his willingness to resist this so-called Ju'er Khan, His Highness the Emir will let the prince lead the army to conquer.

As long as the prince leaves Bukhara, those traitorous ministers will encourage His Highness the Emir to eliminate us!"

Prince Hamid nodded. This was very possible. As Salal of the Kingdom, the army he could directly control was most of the Gulam Guards in Bukhara.

The situation of the standing armies in Gulam and Ersalia in other cities is very complicated, and most of them are willing to be loyal to their father, the emir of Nasr II.

At the same time, his political power is basically concentrated in Bukhara. Once he leaves, due to the insidiousness of Grand Wazir Balaami, he will definitely launch a great purge.

Alas! Prince Hamid sighed deeply in his heart, he was still too anxious!

He did not follow up on his father Nasr II's conversion to the Shiite sect, which led to his father becoming very suspicious of him. If his father had not become suspicious, Balaami would not have dared to touch any of his men.

"What about the second role? What will happen if I don't unite the army to conquer?" Prince Hamid then asked.

"If the prince refuses to unite the army and go on an expedition, they will accuse the prince in front of His Highness the Emir of having evil intentions and staying in Bukhara to preserve his strength.

I even dare to say that Prince Sadid must have colluded with Bale Ami and others.

As long as the prince shows his intention to stay in Bukhara, they will encourage His Highness the Emir to let Prince Sadid take Bukhara's Ghulam guards to fight against Juer Khan in Juzhanti.

In that case, His Highness the Prince will lose the most important thing and will no longer be able to resist!"

Prince Hamid stood up with a very ugly face. No matter which of these two situations, he did not want to face.

Whether he leaves Bukhara and loses administrative power, or stays in Bukhara but loses political power, it is fatal to him.

If one of them is lost, the other will inevitably be unable to be saved, perhaps even his life.

"Think of a way? What should I do to get through this current difficulty?"

"This still depends on the attitude of His Highness the Emir. The prince should go to the Forbidden City of Alka now to ask for an audience with His Highness the Emir.

If His Highness the Emir is willing to receive you now, then you may be able to impress His Highness the Emir with family affection.

You can even directly say that you are ill and unable to travel, and then hand your body over to General Hussein and ask him to go on the expedition on His Highness’ behalf.”

General Hussein is the brother-in-law of Prince Hamid. He comes from the Ibn family that has controlled politics for generations. He is the key figure for Prince Hamid to control the Bukhara Gulam Guards.

Prince Hamid finally showed some joy on his face. If Hussein could be allowed to lead the army on his behalf, then he could control the situation in Bukhara. With the army outside, Bale Ami and others would not dare to do anything to him.

Sample.

"Then what if His Highness the Emir is unwilling to meet me?" Prince Hamid asked the last possibility.

"If His Highness the Emir is unwilling to receive His Highness the Prince, it means that the Emir has become suspicious of you.

Prince, you are going to express your attitude by kneeling down outside the Forbidden City of Alka, and at the same time ask Princess Sefiye to come forward to intercede.

We sent people to urge Juzhan Tihacum Adulal to send troops quickly. If Adulal can send good news within three months, this crisis will be over.

Otherwise, His Highness the Prince will have no choice but to take the last path."

Princess Sefiye and Prince Hamid's mother are biological sisters, and they are very favored by Nasr II. As long as she is willing to deal with it, Prince Hamid is confident that he can suppress this matter for several months.

As long as Adulal can defeat that Juer Khan within these few months, all crises will be resolved.

If not, Prince Hamid's face will be clouded, and the so-called last step is to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of Bukhara's religious people and citizens with Nasr II's conversion to Shiite sect to launch a coup.

But with Ju'er Khan's conspiracy outside, he was really not sure how much of the anger caused by the conversion would be left.

.....

Suduishana, later spelled Uratiyube in Russian, is located between Khujand and Samarkand at the mouth of the Fergana Basin.

This is the capital of the Tosao Kingdom, or in other words, it should be all the former Tosho Kingdom with the nine surnames of Shomu, because the Tosoh Kingdom is not big, and is only composed of eight small towns around Suduosana.

It took six people, including brothers Pei Shengyuan and Pei Tongyuan, as well as Xue Sili, more than two months to find the descendants of the Dongcao Kingdom, the people of the Cao family, Cao Yanmian.

Tragic! Quite miserable! This was the first feeling of the Pei brothers and Xue Sili.

The remaining two thousand people from Dong Cao Kingdom have been driven to the mountains.

Suduishana also changed from a city with eight to nine thousand residents to a small stronghold in Samampos.

The reason is that Bugla Khan Saktu of the Kara Khanate failed to capture Juzhanti.

Because of Cao Yanmian, the people of the Dongcao Kingdom took a gamble with Saktu, and lost everything.

After Saktu was unable to attack and all fought and retreated, Tosho suffered bloody revenge from Saman Persia.

Of the 40,000 to 50,000 people in the clan, less than 3,000 were killed, and most of the women and children were lost.

The only bloodline of the Dongcao royal family, Cao Yanmian's nephew escaped under the protection of his confidants.

By the time the Pei brothers and Xue Sili found them, the descendants of Dongcao Kingdom had already eaten up all the seeds for next year.

The remaining supplies are only dozens of goats. Although we can survive this winter, a large number of people will definitely starve to death next year.

Therefore, the Pei brothers and Xue Sili did not spend much energy to convince them, because they had no choice at all.

"Caught! Caught!" someone shouted.

Pei Shengyuan looked down and saw that the knights of Dongcao Kingdom had captured a strong man with a big beard.

From the looks of it, he is neither a businessman nor a local. Who would go to this wilderness in the middle of winter?

The bearded attendant looked at Pei Shengyuan and shouted: "Who are you? Are you from the Dongcao Kingdom? We are not Saman Persians, we are from Kesai City.

As long as you are willing to help us return to Kesai City, Governor Yu Supu will reward you greatly!"

This is thinking that he is the leader of Dongcao Kingdom! Pei Shengyuan smiled coldly.

Why did Yusupu's people come from the direction of Bukhara? What did they go to do? They need to be interrogated!
