For a person who is about to drown, even if he sees a feather on the water nearby, he must hold it tightly in his hand. What's more, the Adi family behind Little Ali is so big that it can be called a giant ship?!
Immediately, everyone rushed forward, pulling their arms, pulling their thighs, and stretching out their beards from the meeting hall. Afterwards, everyone greeted each other with their eyes, assessed their worth, and chose to stay or leave. Soon,
There were only a few people left in the entire conference hall, including the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Aikelamu, the commander of Jihad Ghazi, Amul, and the volunteer commanders, Gharib and Hasili. They all stared at little Ali with burning eyes, eagerly
Wait for him to give the answer.
Little Ali showed no sign of being anxious at all. He poured himself a bowl of tea soup and sipped it slowly while scanning the faces of the few people left behind with his eyes.
"Is there anything you can do? Say it quickly, don't expect to sell it at a better price in the future?" Aike Lamu, the coach of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, was so anxious that he glared at Little Ali and shouted loudly.
The second half of the sentence was originally a folk saying of "Dashi", and its meaning is roughly the same as "selling off", "seduce people" and other words in Tang dialect. It has nothing to do with business at all. Unexpectedly, little Ali immediately bit the Aikelam wood.
He licked his tongue, laughed a few times, stared into the other person's eyes and asked: "General, do you mean that we can already bargain? There is a philosophical saying in my hometown, saying that you should not give charity to others easily, unless he can give you something of equal value.
Repay. The idea I’m going to talk about below involves the life and death of many people. I’m afraid it can’t be equated with just two words: kindness!”
Long before following the Holy Prophet, the Adi family was a wealthy businessman. The Eastern Expeditionary Army commander Aikeram, who was familiar with these historical origins, certainly did not expect to accept the help of the Adi family in vain. After hesitating for a while, he responded loudly: "
I can swear by my loyalty to Allah that if you can help me escape the disaster this time, I personally and my family will always become friends of the Adi family!"
"I can swear too!"
"I can do it too, and I can even serve the Adi family!"
Several other core generals were eager to escape from the responsibility of the defeat and rushed to express their stance to Ali.
Little Ali smiled slightly, put down the tea bowl, and responded calmly: "What you said is for the Adi family. What's the benefit to me personally!"
"Individual?" Aikelamu, the head coach of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He soon realized that the cunning little guy in front of him might not be the only heir to the Adi family. If he could not inherit the family business in the future, what would be the point of all his hard work today?
Aren't you all busy for others? "If you don't mind me being too high-minded, I can be your lifelong friend!" Gritting his teeth, Aikelamu added loudly. "The friendship I promised to the Adi family can only be contacted through you.
Only people can fulfill it!”
"Yes, if you can help us get out of trouble, I will never forget your kindness. As long as you need it, I will repay you immediately!" Volunteer leader Gharib's response was not slow, following Aikelam.
, make a wish loudly.
The most direct one was Amul, the leader of the Holy War, who simply brought the matter to light, "Do you have many brothers? What if, when necessary, the religious judges and the military jointly express their respect for you?"
Little Ali smiled again and quickly expressed his "real" intention, "I just asked casually! How could you be involved in the internal affairs of the Adi family? I just hope that when you return to your hometown, everyone will not forget us.
Just a few friendships that we have worked together to overcome the difficulties today!"
"Yes, yes, who doesn't know that the Adi family has always been united as one!" Everyone laughed in unison, surrounding little Ali and responded loudly.
Having said that, everyone knew in their hearts that the deal had been discussed to a close. After receiving the expected benefits, little Ali did not continue to talk in circles. He considered his words and asked in a low voice: "Several generals?
Have you ever thought about what is the ultimate goal of the Anxi Tang Army's westward march?"
"Of course they drove us away from here?!" The Eastern Expedition Army coach Aikelamu frowned slightly, and there was a hint of impatience in his words.
"General, don't be anxious!" Little Ali waved his hand and continued to persuade, "The answer is not that simple. Get rid of us? Where will we end? The Anxi Army is only thirty thousand at most, and it has successively conquered Dabolu, Jian
Having conquered the two countries, is your appetite still not satisfied? Do you have to fight all the way to Mecca?"
"He dares?"
"The flames of the holy war will burn them to death!" Everyone was furious and responded with gritted teeth and stomped their feet. In the past hundred years, only the food country has conquered the east and west. How could the pagans have the strength to spy on the Holy Land? Unless they
All of them are made of fine steel, otherwise, the loyal believers of God along the way could twist them into powder even if they stretched out a finger.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Aikelamu's thinking is much calmer than that of several other generals. In addition to anger, he also vaguely saw a glimmer of light, "You mean to say that the Anxi Tang Army's westward march, in addition to revenge,
Besides, there is no specific strategic intention?!"
"At least, they can't fight all the way to Mecca in one go!" Little Ali smiled and nodded lightly.
"That's right!" Aikeram agreed with a wry smile, "Even if every battle along the way is guaranteed to be won without any casualties, if two hundred men are left to garrison a city, all their troops will have been allocated before they reach Mecca!
"
"Let alone spying on the Holy Land, they probably don't even hope to capture Khorasan!" Amul, the leader of the Holy War, also realized what he was feeling. He shook his head with a wry smile on his face, "They have too few people. At most.
If we conquer two more cities, we have to stop! But we are too cowardly. The soldiers of Allah actually expect the opponent to have fewer people!"
"There is nothing to be ashamed of if you give full play to your strengths!" Little Ali quoted a motto, lightly wiping away the shame in Amul's heart.
"Let's think about it this way! The Anxi Tang Army is just a part of the Tang Dynasty. It does not have enough manpower and strength to carry out an expedition. Unless the Tang Empire will support it with all its might." After a pause, Little Ali continued to analyze for everyone,
"So for the Tang Empire and our big food country, the battle before us can actually not hurt the internal organs. However, some generals of the Datang Empire are so ambitious that they actually gathered more than 20 countries in the Western Regions to form a branch.
The huge coalition tried to take Khorasan and completely annex the Hezhong area. Aikelam and several generals led everyone in a bloody battle, outnumbered and outnumbered, so that the Anxi Tang army fully realized the strength and loyalty of God's believers. Although
Because of the betrayal of the Jiantuoluo people, the Eastern Expeditionary Army suffered huge losses. However, it also completely shattered the Tang Army's ambition to continue to advance westward..."
