v8 Chapter 212： Not far

When the Saidianchi and Mohad were in conflict, Zhang Chang'an also went out early. He summoned the monk chief of the Western Region Commercial Bank in Baghdad to discuss the matter urgently in a hidden place unknown to Saidianchi.

"Mullen issued a call-up order, and the Crescent Church of the Great Eclipse will immediately take full action. Most of the 13 principal high priests of the Great Temple will rush to various places later to preside over the assembly of monks and the dispatch of materials in each city. Western Businesses must move in unison to undermine their plans. "

On the main seat, Zhang Changan looked around the crowd. Although his face was somber, his eyes were not sharp. On the contrary, he seemed calm, as if everything was under control.

The room was not very large. One or twenty monks dressed as different monks were sitting in rows and cross-legs, and there was a faint atmosphere of Jin Ge standing under the beams.

The Western Region Commercial Bank has been in the food market for many years, and its strength is overbearing. The previous crescent church ’s picketing has caused some trouble, but because the time is short, the Western Region Commercial Team responded in time, so it did not hurt the muscles. Ability to act everywhere.

Zhang Changan went on to describe his thoughts, "Our strength is not weak. If we count the big cannibals who are bribed, bought, swindled, and cooperated with us, our strength can even be said to be strong. But Rao is so, in Within the eclipse, we do not have the ability to directly confront the crescent religion.

"So our plan is mainly to destroy, to delay the opponent's steps of gathering monks and deploying materials to the greatest extent, weakening their strength to reinforce the front line of Mulu City, and gaining time for Wang Shi's attack on the front battlefield.

"As long as the monks and supplies to the east of Da Shi are not enough to arrange the depth of the battle line in a short time, judging from the current advancement speed of Wang Shi, victory will certainly belong to us.

"Our focus is divided into three points. One is the assassination of the high-level shrine presided over by the monks; the other is the destruction of the materials gathered by the Crescent. The third is the creation of chaos in important cities and the chaos and internal disorder of the eclipse. The people panic. "

Having said that, Zhang Changan began to arrange specific manpower in various cities.

For the time being, Saidianchi has not brought back the detailed plan for the call-up action, and the goals of the Western Region Commercial Bank have not yet appeared, so at this time Zhang Changan was more focused on letting the Western Region Commercial Bank to concentrate his manpower, and at the same time spread his eyes everywhere. , Monitor every move of the Great Temple.

The actions under Xiyu Commercial Bank rely heavily on Sai Dianchi's intelligence, but Zhang Changan will not pin his hopes on the other. Over the years, the Western Region Commercial Bank has also done a lot of things. For example, the high-levels of some large temples have fallen into their surveillance, and they can grasp the movements of the other party at any time.

In addition, the Western Region Commercial Bank also has other sources of information. It has also established a meticulous surveillance network in important cities, and can learn about the actions of each other through the crescent moon teaching some monks. For this reason, even if Saidianchi cannot obtain more useful information in the future, the Western Commercial Bank will not be unable to act.

It's just that efficiency or results will definitely be greatly reduced.

After arranging today's events, it was not too early. Zhang Changan returned to his foothold and waited for Sai Dianchi to return. He told him what he discovered today, especially the communication with Mohd.

Half an hour later, Saidian Chi arrived on schedule, and will explain what he saw and heard in the Great Temple today, including the progress of reaching a friendly alliance with Mohad, with Zhang Changan.

Over and over again.

Hearing that the Great Temple had specially formulated a plan to "snake snakes out of holes" in order to deal with western business firms, Zhang Chang'an frowned and was shocked by the opponent's old plans.

To be realistic, because the Mulu City battle must be resolved quickly, the Western Commercial Banks are now anxious to destroy the call. If you do not know this plan of "lead the snake out of the hole", the Western Commercial Banks will most likely fall into a trap.

Even if Zhang Chang'an is keen to direct Baghdad's actions, Western Regions' business in other important cities will have a worry of failure.

Fortunately, Saidian Chi brought back the news, and Zhang Changan had a chance to respond.

This part of the action involves the specific situation of the specific location. Zhang Changan can't make a plan now, but as long as he can inform the Western Region Commercial Bank, so that everyone has sufficient mental preparation to carefully screen it. Don't jump into the fire pit.

"This news is very important. I will write down the credit for it. When the war is over, your benefits will definitely be indispensable!" Zhang Changan praised Sai Dianchi and gave the other party a serious commitment, which made the latter very happy. .

"The contact with Mohad should not be careless. The other party is not good at it. Remember not to reveal flaws. All words and deeds must be cautious. Since the plan is carried out smoothly, then we must advance steadily in accordance with our pre-arranged process and strive to leave you in Baghdad Before going on a mission, befriend each other. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Changan groaned a bit, and then said: "With the common stand and interests, the relationship will indeed get closer, but this is not enough. Your personal relationship must be deepened. Do you know what to do?"

Sai Dianchi patted his chest with confidence and said, "You have taught me a long time. If you want to have a strong personal relationship, it is nothing more than like-minded ideals. We have no great ideals. Noble like-minded ones are avoided. It is easy to do the same."

Zhang Changan nodded, very satisfied with Sai Dianchi's progress.

Mohad's preferences had been explored long ago.

The other is a third-class aristocrat, and his status is not high enough, so he particularly likes artsy. After decades of accumulation, not only is it brilliant, it also collects a lot of rare and antiques, often showing off to others, in order to show their noble heritage and cultivation, want to Won the recognition of first-class nobles.

Sai Dianchi only needs to start from this aspect, and can easily become the "confidant" of the other party.

...

It's mid-autumn, the weather is cool and the breeze is learning.

To the west from the Wujing River, Li Zhi was walking in the wind towards Mulu City. The undulating mountains and rivers receded slowly under the white clouds at his feet, and the yellow grassland landscape was vast, with a unique charm.

"The east wind is coming, the spring day is coming, the westerly wind is coming, and the autumn is strong. It is already mid autumn, and the weather has a lot of coolness. Why is this place blowing the east wind?" Qi Wang twirled his own strand of green silk with his fingertips. He murmured, looking a little tired and lazy.

When she first came to the Seven Rivers Basin, she was deeply impressed by the beauty here. These days, she has seen so much that she lost her initial interest, but started to pay attention to other things.

Li Xun smiled and said slowly: "The autumn and winter here are blowing northeast wind, while the spring and summer are southwest wind, which is really different from the Central Plains.

The reason is a bit complicated, but it also proves that we are indeed far away. "

The monsoon incident does not belong to this era. Li Yan could not talk to Qi Wangduo and changed the topic.

"This battle is really a miles away for Rongji, Guan Shandu Ruofei!" King Qi agreed with the feeling that he was far away from home, and rarely dangled his book bag.

Pointing at the end of the land in front of him, Li Ying said to the king, Qilu said, "Mulu City is located in the transition area from plain to plateau. Land of attack.

"Now that Mullen has retreated to this place, he has built many stone cities, and the fortress connecting the spheres of a hundred miles is a complete line of defense, which greatly expands the depth. It can be described as a copper wall and an iron wall.

From the Seven Rivers to the Iranian Plateau, Mulu City is indeed a rare military fortress in the world. After passing through Mulu City, until the two river basins where Baghdad City is located, the thousands of miles in the middle are plateau landforms with complex terrain.

However, for Tang Jun, this is not a sword and fire. The Mobe steppe is also a plateau, and Tang Jun is still galloping, destroying Khitan. In terms of geographical height alone, as long as it is not an extreme area like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the ordinary plateau will not cause any substantial obstacle to the current Tang army.

King Qi looked at the Xiayun in the west sky, and his eyes were far away: "From Guanzhong to Yangguan, from Yangguan to Baersi Khan City, from Baersi Khan City to Mulu City, the army has gone so far. The next step is to continue Moving west, across the entire plateau controlled by Eclipse, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are fighting endlessly in such a vast area. This is truly an ancient miracle. "

Li Ye nodded slightly, and agreed with King Qi's feelings. If it is not the Tang Dynasty's cultivation civilization, it has developed to such an extent that if you want to fight so far, it is really frightening to think about it.

"In fact, it is not as far away as you think. The straight line distance from Mulu City to the Lianghe River Basin is just the width of the Qihe River Basin. The length of the Western Region in the heyday was actually wider than we felt. The scope of control is larger than we feel.

"Specifically, it didn't take long for us to pacify the Black Khanate. As long as the Mulu City defense line is defeated, if the battle goes smoothly, there will be soldiers in the two river basins before the cold winter. Goodbye Wudi Plain."

Li Yan's remarks were light-hearted, but the color of the eyebrows came out naturally, and he couldn't hide it.

In his opinion, the distance of the army's westward battle was really not far. After all, the distance traveled by the Lingnan Fleet from the town's eastern capital to the eastern eastern capital of Teotihuacan was several times greater. Distance from Seven Rivers to Baghdad.

"Mullen has issued a call order, with the national strength of Eclipse and the strength of the Crescent Church. Under normal circumstances, within a month, the first batch of monks and supplies can be rushed to Mulu City. Before we can, Did you capture the Mulu City defense line that Mullen swore to defend? "Qi King turned to Li Yan and asked seriously.

The first group of monks to be called to Mulu City must be the closest to the place in the Great Food Country. One month is indeed enough.

Li Xun did not directly answer the question of King Qi. He looked at the wooden deer city that gradually revealed its magnificent outline on the horizon as he flew, and said calmly: "Can you take it?
