Since ancient times, in order to conquer a country with a large territory and a large population, in addition to defeating the army of this country, it is also necessary to face the constant resistance of the people of the country and the **** people who lead it.
And when this country still has a strong civilization, the cohesion and fighting spirit of the country's military and civilian population will be stronger, and this kind of struggle will be extremely powerful. Even if it is suppressed for a while, the will of civilization will not perish, and there is still the possibility of a comeback after a century.
Although Tang Jun successfully captured the plateau, this does not mean that the war is over. In terms of the domestic population, the eclipse of the heyday is not much worse than that of Datang. This also means that the eclipse has the foundation of the organized resistance of the people.
For Tang Jun, if a war is to be eaten away, the most important thing is to make a quick decision without any delay. Next, the army must attack the two river basins, and the plateau as the rear must be stable. If there are many civilian resistance forces that invade the food lanes and disrupt the rear, this is definitely a disaster for the Tang army.
When in the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty, every time Li Zhi attacked a place, a civilian team would take over local government affairs and carry out the work of helping the people. Rarely did he travel on business trips. But after all, the big food is a foreign country. The most important thing is that the civilization is different. It is not easy for civilian officials to smooth the place.
One hundred miles southwest of Nisa City, in a small town, Emir Xilu, a food clerk, slammed the door of an ordinary courtyard in the snow. After Xu Yan, the door was opened, and Xi Luchi glanced around the street, walked into the courtyard, and reached the main house.
There were already a lot of people in the room. The small room was crowded, and when Xi Luchi came in, everyone quickly got up and saluted.
"Don't worry about these custom gifts, I can stay here for a short time, and rush to the next place. What's the situation, you quickly report!"
The dusty servant Xi Luchi sat down on the main seat and glanced over the faces of everyone, seeing that although most people looked calm, they didn't lose much frustration, so they were slightly relieved.
Malun's strategic depth of 800 miles in the eastern part of the plateau, because the Tang Army's aggressive offensive progressed rapidly, and the conscription team was destroyed, leading to the failure of monks and materials to be in place as scheduled, and it was declared early destruction.
In the case that the front could not resist the offensive of the Tang army, Mullen could only withdraw from the two river basins, calling on the local kings to prepare to stay in Baghdad. But Mullen did not completely abandon the plateau, or in other words, did not abandon military operations on the plateau.
Before leaving, he left Xi Luchi to let the other party command the plateau, gather local civilian forces, and cooperate with a small army of elites who had not previously withdrawn and hid in the countryside. When the Tang army attacked Baghdad, cooperate with the action and let the Tang army The rear is unstable and difficult to care about.
There are not many troops that can stay. After all, Tang Jun's offensive is fierce and Mullen's preparation time is insufficient. In addition, if the number of troops is too large and the target is too large, it will inevitably be noticed by the Tang army. Instead, they will sacrifice for nothing, so the army hidden in the countryside is limited.
In order for Xi Luchi to take action, he must assemble the strength of the people and give full play to the advantages of the crescent believers' numerous and scattered places. In this way, the power hidden in the people not only greatly increases concealment, but as long as it is properly organized, the power that can be gathered will also be huge.
"Sir Emir, there are more than 30,000 people in and around Quxi Town, including nearly 2,000 monks and more than 100 monks who practice qi."
"There are so many?
"
"Master Emil, Quxi Town is remote, and there is nothing particularly strong. Therefore, when Caliph issued a call before, not many monks were called out here.
"The recruiting team leaving Nisa City was led by Garrigi. It was damaged by the Tang Dynasty and suffered heavy casualties, but many injuries escaped. They escaped, fearing to be held accountable, and mostly sneaked into the countryside. There are a lot of monks in Xizhen. "
The middle-aged monk, Ama He, reported this.
Xi Luchi's face was rosy, this is a good news, "You concealed and gathered the monks in batches and told them that the culprits who had escaped before could not be held accountable, and the caliph gave them the opportunity to perform their crimes. As for other monks, the true **** Issue a convening order on their behalf to make them obey the dispatch and be ready to act! "
Speaking of this, Xi Luchi groaned for a moment, looked at Amahe, and thoughtfully asked, "Now that the Tang army has occupied the plateau, are the monks still fighting?"
Amahe hurriedly said, "Master Emile, rest assured, the monks in Quxi Town are loyal believers of the true God and are willing to serve the true God! The Tang invaded our country, killed our compatriots, snatched our land, and profaned the true God. Even if we all die, we will swear to expel them! "
This remark is righteous, but it may not be completely realistic, but it still reflects a strong will. Xi Luchi nodded and praised: "As long as you make achievements, the caliph will not reward you. Once the Tang people are expelled, you will always Enjoy the glory of the true God! "
The crowd in the room unanimously said: "For the only true god, expel the Tang people, and vow to die!"
Leaving the yard, Xi Luchi did not stay, rushing to the next place under the blizzard. Now that the plateau has been captured by the Tang army, in order to control the place, the monk travelled all day, and Xi Luchi did not dare to venture in midair.
The meeting with Amahe and others just made Xi Luchi very excited. Although the army lost on the front battlefield and lost the land, the faith of the true God still exists, and it will not disappear soon.
Crescent believers have long worshipped the true God, making them still willing to be true warriors and to die for the true god.
"There are hundreds of thousands of monks throughout the plateau. Although the masters of the priesthood will certainly be noticed by the Tang people, they will either be killed or held in custody, but the strength of ordinary monks cannot be underestimated."
Xi Luchi guessed the number of monks he could mobilize based on these inspections over time. This number made him hopeful for the future. "From the current situation, let the monks exert their power and let the monks drive them against Tang Jun. Absolutely feasible. Covering by the people can also reduce the possibility of Tang Jun's detection of anomalies. "
Before Mullen left, he gave a clear plan for the actions that Xi Luchi should take.
Mullen did not need Xi Luchi to gather an army of 100,000 people to attack the important cities occupied by the Tang army and to attack the troops of the Tang army. All he needed was Xi Luchi to organize monks to attack the army's food roads with a team of one hundred and thousand to create chaos in the local area. can.
The important thing is not how much damage Tang Jun causes at once, but to create an accident with a team of monks or even ordinary believers in a vast area, even if it just kills a Tang patrol and assassinates a civilian. Are also useful.
Doing a line like this
In line with the face, under the continuous action, the combined action results will be great. When the rear of the Tang army is unstable, the order in various places collapses, and then focus on attacking, it will be easy to succeed.
Mullen's intention was to use the front of Baghdad to block the Tang army for a period of time, and at the same time let the crescent believers on the plateau act on a large scale, so that Tang Jun fell into the "comprehensive rebellion" of the crescent believers, eventually tired of coping, and was swallowed up a little , Torture to death.
"Tang Jun's strength is not large enough to disperse in large areas and focus on attacking Baghdad. Once the large-scale rear-turmoil rearranges, it will inevitably be difficult to deal with. As long as the chaos expands to a certain extent, the crescent religion and the call of true God Force, the people will follow the monks to rebel against Tang Jun!
"As long as I arrange it well, at the same time, sending monks in hundreds of places at the same time, even if each action is not big, it will be enough to stir up the whole chaos.
"At that time, we will concentrate and kill the Tang garrison who came to peace, and the momentum will rise sharply, and the people will follow us to expel the invaders. It doesn't take long for the Tang army across the plateau to fall into The sword is the same as the sea of fire! "
Thinking of this, Xi Luchi could not help but show his eyes. He didn't feel complacent, he calmed his mind in time, looked around to see if there was a follower, and quickly disappeared into the forest trail.
In the afternoon when Xi Luchi left Quxi Town, a large number of Tang Jun guarded a team of civilian officials and clerks passing by here. A famous soldier went door to door and knocked on the door. With the cooperation of the Western Region Business Monk, the officials patiently explained to Tang the strategy of helping the people and soothing people.
Since five years ago, Li Wei was preparing to attack the food, so not only the monks of the Western Region Commercial Bank, but also the civil servants can speak the local language, there are not many obstacles for communication between the two sides.
The two dogs who got off immediately helped Fuzhuo, looked at a young civil servant, and carried out a notice written in the words of food, with a smile and polite explanation to Ama, although the other party did not refute but There was also a look of obviously not wanting to listen, and there was a fire in my heart.
He said to the bull next to him, "These big cannibals are so embarrassing. They are really unclean! In my opinion, it is time to grab those who don't cooperate, cut them together, and show them to everyone else. By then, these barbarians naturally know that they are bowing their heads, so how can they be so kind to them? "
The bull's backhand was slapped on the second dog's pocket, and the bad lesson said: "What you learned at Chang'an University, have you learned the dog? Now if the killing is useful, you still need your help. Is this crooked? "
The two dogs managed to hold the pockets to a perfect position, and they were crooked by the bull's egg. In order to be handsome and handsome, he had to continue to adjust the subtle angles of the pockets.
Ergou said unbelievably: "These crescent believers are more stubborn than ours. Our measures to care for the people are as good as they are, but they do n’t know how grateful Dade is, as if we owe them. Are they really not afraid of death? ? "
Seeing these big cannibals, Niu Egg was afraid of Wang Shi and was afraid to be rebellious in words and deeds, but his face was cold like a stone in a pit, and he couldn't help sighing.
He said: "Dashi is also a great country. Crescentism is the strongest sect in the world. These people are naturally proud. It is not easy for them to lower their heads and be willing to obey us."
