Ji Tang

Chapter 1206 Fighting in the air!

The new changes caught everyone off guard, but it doesn't mean that just waiting for news will solve the problem.

"The order comes from Gao Kan. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. As long as the Dashi army doesn't move north, then he will be nailed to Henglus for me!"

Hearing Ji Song's words, everyone was stunned. Guo Xiaoke suddenly said: "You mean that Said faked a shot and pretended to be confused? To lure us out of seclusion?"

Ji Song shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know. Before we figure out the enemy's intentions, our best way is to stay still and adapt to changes. Let's see!"

The war that was about to break out actually lasted for three full months under such a strange situation. During these three months, both sides used all their methods, whether it was conspiracy or conspiracy, they frequently took action.

At this time, everyone really saw how powerful Seld was. They all knew who the general was, but Seld was evenly matched with the general this time.Even though it was a fight in the air, the layout was all over the place.But both in terms of means and vision, he is not inferior to the general.

It even almost caused Datang to suffer losses several times. The losses were not big, but it allowed everyone to see the power of this food governor. He was worthy of being a general who had destroyed countless countries. This method was simply impeccable!
At this time, they had to feel lucky that Xue Li and the other three had attacked the camp. This meant they were careless, otherwise life or death would have been uncertain.

Ji Song didn't want to care about what everyone thought. Just now, Daniel came to report that the person he was looking for had been found and was settling in the small courtyard.

"Go and find the Mufti!"

This time he did not call Maimun, and his family was still under the control of the Caliphate. As long as Maimun was not a heartless person, he would never tell any news that was detrimental to Dashi.

But Mufti was different. All his family and clan members were executed by the Caliph. Now his only son was in his hands, so he could only obey.

Although such methods were despicable, compared to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who suffered more casualties, Ji Song could not bear this infamy.Thousands of sins have been added to my body, and I will die without regrets!
People always have to give up many things as they grow up. Some people give up family affection, friendship, and love; some people give up their bottom line and sympathy; some even give up their morality.

He will not regret what he has done, although he will definitely be reviled afterwards, but so what?He has no moral integrity, let alone a gentleman. If he were, he would have died countless times.

Soon, the Mufti came to the small courtyard. When he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sitting on a stone bench in the small courtyard, he burst into tears.

"Emene?"

The young man was shocked and turned around in disbelief. When he saw the figure he thought about day and night, he couldn't help but run forward and hug him.

"Abba, is it really you, Abba!"

The Mufti gently stroked his son's head and said softly: "It's Abba, my Emene, my poor child, Abba has finally seen you."

Ji Song heard the movement outside in the room, and suddenly thought that this might be Tiandu Qingsheng!

After a long time, when the two of them calmed down completely, Emine finally told her story.

It turned out that that day he went hunting with his servants and several retainers.Just when he wanted to enter the city, he found that the entire city was under martial law.

Emani felt incredible. Although this city was not big, it was their family's fiefdom.But he didn't recognize any of the soldiers coming in and out. What frightened him even more was that at this time, there were faint sounds of fighting and screams coming from the city.

He was not a fool. He came from a noble family, and his childhood education told him that something was definitely going on at home.Under the cover of retainers, they found a family hiding in a hidden place outside the city. When they found out what happened, he almost fainted.

"Abba, dead, all dead. My mother, brother, sister, and sisters are all dead. I am the only one left alive. We ran and ran, from the west to the east. They said you were treasonous. But the child doesn’t believe it, how could you be a traitor? I will take them and run eastward until..."

Mufti closed his eyes in pain. Although he knew that Ji Song would not lie to him, when he really learned from his son, he was still full of despair and hatred.

Osman, you are so cruel!

He knelt down and gently held his son in his arms. He knew that this would be his only bloodline and only relative in this world.

Yes, he is cowardly, he can give up all dignity for the sake of power.I don’t care about other people’s strange looks or ridicule!But for the sake of his children, he can give up anything now and dare to do anything!

"Abba, why are you here? Are what they said true?"

Emine raised her head and asked.

"My child, you are still young and don't understand some things. We can't go back to Dashi. From now on, you will stay here and live here with peace of mind. Abba has already made arrangements for you."

Emine's eyes widened and turned red as she said, "No, I want revenge. I will also avenge my mother, brothers and sisters."

The Mufti was in agony. A carefree child was now thinking about revenge. He shouldn't be like this.Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

"My child, I will avenge my family and tribe. But you are still young, and you should not be responsible for these things. This is all my father's fault. It is my father who misjudged the wrong person, which led to such a tragic incident."

He looked to the west, there was Baghdad, there was Dashi, and there was Dashi's army.
Ji Song was drinking tea and couldn't help but sigh when he saw Mufti walking in.

"Don't worry, my reputation is still guaranteed. He will grow up without any worries in Chang'an. In the future, he will marry and have children, and he may not be able to restore the glory of your clan."

Mufti nodded and told everything he knew without any nonsense, which made Ji Song feel relieved.If this doesn't work, then he will have to find another way.

But now it seems that the appearance of his only heir has made him determined, which is good.

"Sald holds a lot of troops. Although he is brilliant and handsome, his power is so great that Osman has trouble sleeping and eating. Osman has shown a fearful look towards Said in front of me more than once. You know Yes, when one person becomes suspicious of another person, trust no longer exists.”

"Amr is one of Muhammad's ten disciples. His existence itself is a challenge to the rules. Although his status is lofty, he is wary of many high-level officials."

"Amuwiye is not a sincere believer, but he just pretends to be better. In addition, this person really knows how to win people's hearts, and he will definitely become a disaster in the future."

Ji Song knew clearly that if he remembered correctly, this Amuwiye would be the fifth successor of Arabia and the first caliph of the Umayyad dynasty.

He didn't expect that there would be so many big food and big figures in this war. He really looked up to him!As he talked, Ji Song became more and more clear about Dashi at this time. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious. In this era of extremely slow and conservative information transmission, if you want to understand the true strength of a country, you can only know those who know yourself. Only those at the top, the rulers who set the rules, know better the potential and trump cards of a country.

The sun in the Western Region set late, and Amul did not leave this small courtyard until it disappeared completely.No one knew what they talked about.I don’t even know what impact today’s conversation will have in the future! ——
In the Dashi military camp, Selder listened to the news and waved his hand with a headache, and said to a young guard beside him: "Go and call Amul and Amuwiye to discuss the matter!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the departing figure, Selde showed a smile.The contact during this period made him very fond of this young man.Smart, courageous, and well-organized in doing things, he is a great young man!
Soon, Amuwiye and Amul arrived.

"Let's talk about it. What should we do now? Should we go north, south, or..."

"Continue to siege the city!"

Amul and Amuwiye looked at each other, and Amul spoke up: "Your Majesty the Governor, it is obvious that there is no way to attack the city, but it is undeniable that once we capture Ximen Pass, we will be able to march straight in, regardless of the logistics. Supply, whether in terms of distance, is the best way."

He glanced at Seld, who was unconvinced, and said: "But obviously, if we want to win this level, we must pay an unbearable price. My suggestion is to lure him out of the city, or find another way!"

"That's right, but I have a suggestion!"

Amuwiye first praised Amur for his encouragement, and then said: "Have we ever thought about uniting with Tibet on the southwest plateau? As far as I know, Tibet has been quite powerful in recent years. If we can unite with them, we can take advantage of it." Tao attacks from the south!"

Selder nodded with satisfaction, but said: "The fact that you can think of this shows that you are indeed very smart and know how to take advantage of the situation. But I have already sent people to inquire about this matter at the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu. It is basically impossible. "

"It is said that in the east of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty controlled a country dominated by women, and stationed heavy troops there. Once there was any change in Tubo, they could quickly attack the Tubo territory. Therefore, Tibet would not attack it unless it was absolutely necessary. They can't afford the price."

"More Hekang, there are nearly [-] Tibetan troops in the Tang army this time. It is said that they have formed an alliance. This is not good news for us!"

Amuvi was also stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this?

"The south is Congling. The army is so difficult that it is impossible to march on a large scale. Even if I have the chance, I will not do it. This is taking a risk. If I am not careful, I will lose everything. The existence of Congling itself is a barrier."

"Don't we have any other options?" Amul said unwillingly.

But isn't that true of Seld?I can only blame the man from Datang for seeing too accurately and reacting too quickly.When the nine surnames of Zhaowu were still lingering, he decisively destroyed Cao State, occupied the Wusun Valley, and built Ximen Pass, completely closing the most convenient passage to the east.

During this time, he and the opponent shot from a distance. In the eyes of outsiders, they were tied, but in his eyes, they lost.One side defends the situation while the other side is helpless. This is a loss in itself.

The amount of food and fodder for the 50-strong army was an astronomical figure. During this period, there were many letters from the country urging him to march. They even said that a rebel army had appeared in the country and had conquered several cities. Now that the country was empty, many hidden forces were beginning to make moves. .

"Governor, the nine surnames of Zhaowu have sent something, saying it can help us. I don't know whether it is true or not, but now it seems like we might as well give it a try?"

Amul suddenly thought of something and said aloud.

"What?" Said was stunned and asked hurriedly.

"It's just outside. Shuxiang hasn't had time to check it out yet. How about we come together?"

"go!"

Selder did not hesitate. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will hold on to it. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, just go out and get some fresh air!

Soon, everyone came to an open space.There are three behemoths in the open space. They look like Western seesaws, but they are enlarged many times.

There was a pocket at one end, which looked like it was for putting something.

"What is this?"

Amul did not answer, but looked at a middle-aged man beside him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Governor, this is a trebuchet, a powerful siege weapon from the Central Plains."

Soon everyone understood the force of the trebuchet, and Seld was even more surprised.He said anxiously: "Quick, come and try!"

He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "What's your name? How come this thing is in your hands?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency the Governor, this man is the young prince of the Shi Kingdom. This time he is here to meet His Excellency the Governor on behalf of his father."

Selder smiled, stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder. When the other party was flattered, he said, "You are very good. As long as this thing is useful, you will be the future king of the Stone Kingdom."

The little prince was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise.You must know that his father has more than a dozen sons, and he is just the youngest one, and he is still the most inconspicuous one.Under normal circumstances, it would never be his turn no matter what!
But when the big man said something today, he didn't believe that his father, who obeyed the big food messenger, would refuse!
"Thank you, Your Excellency the Governor. I hope to serve Dashi and your Excellency the Governor from generation to generation!"

Selder was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and everyone laughed too.But the look he looked at the little prince was extremely disdainful.It's just a small country, nothing in their eyes.

The three trebuchets were quickly debugged, and two of them were seen carrying a stone weighing about a hundred kilograms and putting it into their pockets.At the other end, Shi Duoran was holding a rope, and only heard the sound of creaking and creaking. Is this the sound of pulling the string?

Selder soon understood something. Just when he spoke, he heard one of them shout loudly. The trebuchet that was pulled to the extreme suddenly flew into the sky. After reaching a certain height, the stones in his pocket were Sweeping away at a very fast speed.

boom!
There was a loud noise, dust flew up on a mound a thousand steps away, and many trees swayed.

"Go, go and see!"

Selder suppressed the excitement in his heart and ran towards the place where the stone landed.
