Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 982 Caliph

The news of Lu Qi's victory in the Battle of Nishapur was passed by them as quickly as possible.

In the city of Jade Dragon Chijie, Ajisi's expression was a little complicated. The grandeur and hugeness of Nishapur City was definitely not weaker than that of Yulong Chijie. The Seljuks gathered a hundred thousand heavy troops to guard it. It was a place that the Khwarizim people used all their strength to guard. The number of young men that can be mobilized is to go there.

In this battle, he acted like Lu Qi's loyal dog, but in his heart?It is no lie that people who are not from my race must have different minds.In the dark part of Ah Jisi's heart, he was also praying secretly, hoping that Lu Qi's army could hit a bloody bag. Even if Nishapur was taken, it was only after a bloody battle with a lot of losses.Instead of winning so easily like now.

The death of the rabbit and the fox hurt its kind.After all, the Huazizim people were not from the Central Plains. Ajisi was very afraid that Lu Qi's army would easily knock them out after conquering Tianfang.

As a traitor, if the 'force' he betrays is too weak, his own value will be gone.

3 people were captured...

Ah Jisi could imagine how miserable the [-] army in Nishapur was.

Even if the Chinese really seemed to have an absolute advantage in the war, the comparison of strength between the two sides was definitely not as disparate as the results of the Battle of Nibshar reflected.Ajisi didn't even know how Gershapu fought this battle.If he hadn't received the news that Geershap was critically injured and almost died, he would have thought that Geershap was an internal agent of the Lu Qi Army.

Of course Ajisi knew the strength of Lu Qi's army, and he also knew the strength of the Seljuks through channels. Putting him in Gershap's position, even if he fought with his eyes closed, he would not end up in such a disastrous defeat. ?Could it be that Gelshap himself lost his head and made a foolish trick?Or is Daqi really blessed by God?
Thinking of this in Ah Jisi's heart, he became very angry with the Seljuk people.Seeing that Lu Qi came to fight thousands of miles away, and even the Seljuks couldn't stand it, he was really ashamed to death.

Ah Jisi was thinking like this, but when he looked back, he felt that he really shouldn't be thinking like this, it was too dangerous, and he couldn't indulge his thoughts like this, and his heartbeat couldn't stop when he was flustered.

"Seljuk, Tianfang..., it's really difficult." The Lu Qi army, which is absolutely superior in combat power, will make the territory of the Seljuks less peaceful, with beacons and battlefields everywhere.

He had seen the might of Lu Qi's horse army with his own eyes.Once Nishapur was broken, there was no longer any obstacle for Lu Qi's army to enter the Persian plateau. Relying on the superiority of their horse army's combat power, they might have been able to sweep across the plateau while the infantry attacked the city and plundered the land.

Yes, the Persian Plateau is densely covered with mountains and rivers, with ravines everywhere, and the terrain is very complex.Many cities, or local aboriginal gathering areas, are not easy to find.Lu Qi's conquest of the Persian Plateau is destined to not be smooth sailing.But such terrain also has a huge disadvantage for the Seljuks - it is not easy for them to gather their own strength.Especially after Lu Qi's cavalry troops were dispatched, it would be even more difficult.

It can be said that Sanjar will be able to mobilize a lot of power in the future, and the Persian Plateau will only become less and less, but the Fertile Crescent-the Mesopotamia will become the center of gravity.But at this time, no one knew that Lu Qian had made up his mind to poke the back door of the Seljuks.

The fate of Huacizimo has been tied to the big ship of Lu Qijun.Arslan's tens of thousands of horse troops were their elite force, and the deal was done, and Ah Jisi would not dare to play with fire when he saw him again.

Looking forward to seeing the scene of Lu Qijun capsized, he can only be suppressed forever in the darkest and most unknown place in his heart.

Throughout Tochara and Khorasan, there are thousands of people in business, and Ah Jisi believed that there would definitely be smart people like himself.

The news of this great victory quickly spread throughout the entire Tianfang. The latter did not have newspapers, but as soon as the news came out, there was a wave of super-violent selection of strikers. Feidu got the news in less than ten days.

Countless people lamented, and there were also many people who were so happy that they clapped the tables and chairs loudly.

Muktafi is one of them!
He was the No. 30 monarch of the Abbasid dynasty, but he was always a puppet living in the shadow of Seljuk.

Long before him, the Abbasid caliph had been a wooden figure to be manipulated.As early as 200 years ago, the Caliph himself and the whole city fell into the pocket of the Bwehi Dynasty.The latter was founded by northern Iranians who adhered to Persian traditions. Not only did they believe in the second sect of Tianfang religion, which was not in the same pot as the caliph, but they also almost restored the Zoroastrian faith of the Sasanian Empire.

Until the newly rising Seljuk Turks went south and expelled the Bouveshi dynasty of the northern Iranians.The city of Baghdad has just welcomed a new owner.It was also under the shadow of the Turks that the hard days of the Caliphate and Baghdad really came.

Although the Seljuks established their capital in Hamadan in Persia in the early days, the Seljuks obviously would not give the Caliph real power and sent their own officers to Baghdad.Harry sent away the house arrest of the Persians, and ushered in the surveillance of the Turks.After that, the Seljuks simply moved the palace and the capital to Baghdad, and made the caliph subservient to their sultan in many public occasions, which had never happened before.But as long as the caliphate is not abolished and its own spiritual influence remains, there is still a glimmer of hope for the already weak Abbasid dynasty.

And it was the internal division of the Seljuk dynasty that allowed both the Caliphate and Baghdad to see opportunities for revival.

Just like all great intercontinental empires, after the Seljuk center could not maintain its strength, the local governors inevitably had a strong tendency towards autonomy.The Caliph, who was originally a puppet, has also become a power because of a blessing in disguise.A small army was built in the hands.Even though Sanjar quickly re-ruled Baghdad after stabilizing the situation, considering the caliph's influence, he chose to acquiesce because he was unwilling to have more accidents.

Unlike ordinary local lords, the caliph itself is the highest spiritual authority in the Tianfang world.When they are impoverished, they will sell their approval to any powerful force through nodding and appointment.Conversely, any other warlord who occupies a supreme position must try every means to coerce the Caliph to endorse himself.Sending troops directly to control Baghdad is the most effective means.

This is like the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the princes from various places in Chinese history, or the emperor and the shogunate of the little devils.

Ali Muqtafi, who is now in power, is an ambitious politician who hopes to rebuild the former glorious Abbasid Empire.The Seljuks were the first stumbling block he had to kick away.

Historically, at the end of his own reign, after seeing the Seljuk Empire fall apart, Muktafi launched a battle of praying arms to block cars.With only three to five thousand weak palace guards and militiamen in his hands, he loudly opposed Mehmed II, one of Sanjar's heirs.

Through a miraculous victory in the defense of Baghdad [Siege of Baghdad], the Abbasid dynasty got rid of the control of the Turkic descendants.Although the Abbasid Dynasty had entered its twilight years at that time, such a victory can be called great and precious.

The Abbasid dynasty, already in its twilight years, ushered in its final glory by relying on this victory.The caliphate finally got rid of the control from the Persian plateau, allowing Abbasid to become an independent country again.

And now he is also going to make a big gamble, even if the Seljuks are far from dead end.But it is also true that all of the latter's troops in Baghdad were transferred to Sumor.This is a great opportunity, so start early.Otherwise, how can the Chinese, who have already become a general trend, consider his interests?

"Dear Qaim, can I really trust you?" Muktafi summoned a scholar from the caliph's court.

Qaim opened his mouth in surprise. He was one of Muktafi's favorite people.He immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The true God has verified that my loyalty to Your Majesty has not been deceived in the slightest!"

"Then, will you firmly implement the decision I made?"

"Leader of the herdsmen, Your Majesty, whom I admire most, you represent the truth!"

A smile appeared on Muktafi's face, "Then you go to Homos."

"I want you to write down every reaction of the Chinese, and tell me in detail when you return."

"My most respected Majesty, may the true God bless you. I will definitely tell you the truth of the situation." Kaim's face flashed with astonishment, and there was still a little struggle, but in the end he chose to respect. "Just hope it's all right."
