Omar coughed deliberately, Ling Chen waved his hand, and a boy immediately poured him a glass of water.
He took a quick sip and then burst into laughter: "Xiao Ao thinks we should feign defeat!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Is this Omar crazy?
Who doesn’t know how important morale is on the battlefield? Ever since Long Yan’s army appeared on the battlefield in Central Asia, it has always been invincible and invincible. No one can accept defeat. These days, everyone is worrying about how to attack the city. As a result
You said, you want to lose?
Several of Ling Chen's subordinates next to him were about to draw their swords and attack him angrily.
Ling Chen continued: "Let him continue."
Omar also continued to talk: "You generals are from Longyan and do not know the situation in Central Asia very well. In recent years, the internal struggle of the Safi Dynasty has been very fierce. Shias and Sunnis are fighting to the death. But this
Nashadir of Mashhad happens to be a Sunni, while the Sultan in Tabriz, the capital at this time, is a Shia..."
Everyone was very confused after hearing this.
What is this and what?
What pie?
Long Yan Ever since the Xie family exterminated Buddhism, there has been no sign of religion rising in the country. Therefore, they cannot understand how important the religious beliefs of these religious countries are to them.
Therefore, it is natural that we cannot understand what Omar said.
Ling Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Because during the time when he was guarding the Western Regions, the young master once told him something about religious beliefs in a letter. Liu Zheng regarded the regulation of religion as a very important suggestion and gave it to Ling Chen. This made the entire Western Regions
Peace and stability.
"Go on!"
He nodded.
Omar breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was a knowledgeable person, and he continued: "General, if we feign defeat once to relax the siege of Mashhad, guess what will happen...
"
Everyone looked at each other.
Ling Chen also fell into deep thought.
Pretend to be defeated.
what happens?
Naturally, Nashadir will be greatly relieved, and may even revive the army. In this case...
wrong!
Sudden.
Ling Chen was shocked and looked at Omar in disbelief.
Omar laughed loudly: "Yes, when we were besieging the city, the Shias were responsible for all the logistical guarantees in Mashhad...So, when the Shias relaxed here, the Shias
, will definitely ask the Sunnis to send troops to Tabriz in the name of asking for help, but the Sunnis have no reason to refuse..."
quiet.
The whole place was deathly silent.
In other words, if they pretend to be defeated once, on the one hand, when the Ottoman Empire learns the news, it will definitely increase its attack on Tabriz, which will put more pressure on Tabriz. In this case, Tabriz
The soldiers will naturally come to Mashhad, who just breathed a sigh of relief, for help...
Mashhad, it’s hard to refuse.
These two sects have just united because they were invaded and conquered. If you refuse, it will definitely cause conflicts between the sects again...
In that case, the Safavid dynasty would really be over.
When Nashadir's troops are reduced and they attack again, won't they be able to capture Mashhad easily?
This way.
They directed most of the pressure from the Safi Dynasty to the Ottomans...
