Rumors of the coming war quickly spread to every corner of Saman Persia. The news that Nasr II had converted to the Shi'ite sect, which had been very popular just now, was even suppressed.
Now all the Saman people know that Juer Khan, who is called the Glorious Khan of the Khans, came out of the grasslands in the northeast.
This Ju'er Khan was three feet tall and his eyes were bigger than an ordinary person's head. He could smash a gap in the wall of Bukhara with one punch.
He would eat five cows, twenty sheep, and a pair of boys and girls as snacks in one meal. He never drank water, only human blood.
This is no longer a human being, but a devil from the cold northern grasslands!
At this time, the Hezhong area was actually a relatively warm farming and civilized area, and nomads from the north often came south to harass them.
However, the Hezhong area has an advantage, that is, the farming area and the nomadic area are distributed in such a way that there is me among you, and you among me.
Therefore, there is no shortage of war horses in farming areas, which greatly improves their ability to deal with nomadic cavalry.
Of course, this is especially because the fighting ability of the real local nomads is really not impressive.
In the entire Hezhong area, threats have always come from both the east and the west, namely Persia, the great food in the west, and the Peach Blossom Stone Dynasty in the east. This is their biggest threat.
But the Samanid dynasty itself was Persian, and the Taohuashi dynasty had long since declined. Therefore, it had been almost a hundred years, and the river area had not received much threat.
"This time is different. Juer Khan first defeated an army of 30,000 troops in the direction of Tashkent, and also captured and killed the governor of Tashkent Province, Wazir Ali Durav.
Then he destroyed Bugla Khan from Peach Blossom Stone. It is said that he has unified the entire Peach Blossom Stone and has 500,000 warriors under his command! "
A 'Brother Understanding' wearing a leather jacket, with a mysterious look on his face, led a group of people around the city and spoke in a low voice.
The people around him suddenly took a breath, half a million warriors! I'm afraid that the adult men in the entire Saman Kingdom don't have half a million. How can we defeat the terrible Ju'er Khan?
A thin man, trembling all over, asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
It is said that Juer Khan is still a heretic. What will everyone do if he comes in? Do we have to pay high religious taxes like those stubborn Zoroastrians?
"This depends on Prince Hamid. The prince is in charge of the heroic Ghulam Guards and a large number of Ersalia's standing army. The God Warriors are also willing to obey the command of His Highness the Prince.
As long as Prince Hamid is willing to take action, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. "
Brother understand quickly prescribed the medicine, and people around him suddenly felt that they had a backbone, and Prince Hamid seemed indeed very capable.
After they dispersed, they spread the news that Prince Hamid could defeat Juer Khan everywhere.
But they didn't know that after everyone dispersed, Brother Dong and the thin man ate something and then hurried to the next place. Such rumors were spreading everywhere in Bukhara.
. . . . .
Someone is trying to harm me!
Prince Hamid has a thick beard, but it is very neatly groomed. His small face looks particularly majestic, and anyone who looks at it will praise him for his extraordinary bearing.
This is why he quickly gathered a large following, because he looked like an emir.
Good looks are a very important plus point at all times and in all countries.
For example, if two people have similar abilities, but one looks like Yanzu and the other looks like Zhiwei, people will choose Yanzu.
Even if Yanzu's ability is not that high, people will choose Yanzu.
Today's Prince Hamid of Saman Persia's Yanzu has encountered such a problem. Everyone knows about his family affairs. Prince Hamid knows that he definitely does not have much talent in the military.
The so-called claim that he can lead the people to resist the invasion has ulterior motives.
His ability to continue to persevere under the suspicion of his father Nasr II over the years, in addition to his ability to fight within himself, is actually a result of his majestic face-turning.
"Your Highness, this must be the treacherous minister Bala Ami who is targeting you. What Ju'er Khan? Humph! Ali Duraf doesn't have a single Ghulam guard under his command, so killing him is nothing.
Adulal, who led an army of 30,000 in a battle, held Juerhan unable to move, and he was still three feet tall. It was obvious that someone was deliberately exaggerating! "
Seven or eight confidants were discussing at Prince Hamid's residence. Everyone believed that the so-called Juer Khan invasion was just blown out and was a conspiracy against Prince Hamid.
'Ahem! Seeing that everyone had finished expressing their opinions, Prince Hamid coughed twice and looked around at everyone.
"Since everyone thinks it is a conspiracy, how are they going to carry it out? How should we respond?"
"This conspiracy is nothing more than trying to play two roles. If the prince expresses his willingness to resist this so-called Ju'er Khan, His Highness the Emir will let the prince lead the army to conquer.
As long as the prince leaves Bukhara, those traitorous ministers will encourage His Highness the Emir to eliminate us! "
Prince Hamid nodded. This was very possible. As Salal of the Kingdom, the army he could directly control were most of the Gulam Guards in Bukhara.
The situation of the standing armies of Gulam and Ersalia in the remaining cities is very complicated, and most of them are willing to be loyal to their father Nasr II Emir.
At the same time, his political power is basically concentrated in Bukhara. Once he leaves, with the insidiousness of Grand Wazir Balaami, he will definitely launch a great purge.
well! Prince Hamid sighed deeply in his heart, he was still too anxious!
He did not follow up on his father Nasr II's conversion to the Shiite sect, which led to his father becoming very suspicious of him. If his father had not become suspicious, Balaami would not have dared to touch any of his men.
"What about the second role? What will happen if I don't unite the army to conquer?" Prince Hamid then asked.
“If the prince refuses to unite the army and go to war, they will accuse the prince in front of His Highness the Emir of having evil intentions and staying in Bukhara to preserve his strength.
I even dare to say that Prince Sadid must have colluded with Bale Ami and others. As long as the prince shows his intention to stay in Bukhara, they will encourage His Highness the Emir to let Prince Sadid take Bukhara with him. The Gulam guards of La went to Juzhanti to fight against Juer Khan.
In that case, His Highness the Prince will lose the most important military power and will no longer be able to resist! "
Prince Hamid stood up with a very ugly face. No matter which of these two situations, he did not want to face.
Whether he leaves Bukhara and loses administrative power, or stays in Bukhara but loses military power, it is fatal to him.
If one of them is lost, the other will inevitably be unable to be saved, perhaps even his life.
"Can you think of a solution? What should I do to get through this current difficulty?"
"This still depends on the attitude of His Highness the Emir. The prince should go to the Forbidden City of Alka now to ask for an audience with His Highness the Emir.
If His Highness the Emir is willing to receive you now, then you may be able to impress His Highness the Emir with family affection.
You can even directly say that you are sick and unable to travel, and then hand over the military power to General Hussein and ask him to go on the expedition in place of His Highness. "
General Hussein is the brother-in-law of Prince Hamid. He comes from the Ibn family that has held military power for generations. He is the key figure for Prince Hamid to control the Bukhara Gulam Guards.
Prince Hamid finally showed some joy on his face. If Hussein could be allowed to lead the army on his behalf, he could control the situation in Bukhara. With the army outside, Bale Ami and others would not dare to do anything to him. Sample.
"Then what if His Highness the Emir is unwilling to meet me?" Prince Hamid asked the last possibility.
“If His Highness the Emir is unwilling to receive His Highness the Prince, it means that the Emir has become suspicious of you.
Prince, you are going to express your attitude by kneeling down outside the Forbidden City of Alka, and at the same time ask Princess Sefiye to come forward to intercede.
We sent people to urge Juzhan Tihakem Adulal to send troops quickly. If Adulal can send good news within three months, this crisis will be over.
Otherwise, His Highness the Prince will have no choice but to take the last path. "
Princess Sefiye is the sister of Prince Hamid and is very favored by Nasr II. As long as she is willing to deal with it, Prince Hamid is confident that he can suppress this matter for several months.
As long as Adulal can defeat that Juer Khan in these few months, all crises will be resolved.
If not, Prince Hamid's face becomes clouded, and the so-called last step is to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of Bukhara's religious figures and citizens over Nasr II's conversion to Shi'ism to launch a coup.
But with Ju'er Khan's conspiracy outside, he was really not sure how much of the anger caused by the conversion would be left.
. . . . .
Suduishana, later spelled Uratijubie in Russian, is located between Khujand and Samarkand at the mouth of the Fergana Basin.
This is the capital of the Tosao Kingdom, or in other words, it should be all the Tosao Kingdom that used to have the nine surnames of Shomu, because the Tosao Kingdom is not big, and is only composed of eight small towns around Suduosana.
It took six people, including brothers Pei Shengyuan and Pei Tongyuan, as well as Xue Sili, more than two months to find the descendants of the Dong Cao Kingdom, the clan members of the Cao family, Cao Yanmian.
awful! Quite miserable! This was the first feeling of the Pei brothers and Xue Sili.
The remaining two thousand people from Dongcao Kingdom have been driven to the mountains.
Su Duishana also changed from a city with eight to nine thousand residents to a small stronghold in Saman Persia.
The reason was that Bugla Khan Saktu of the Kara Khanate failed to capture Juzhanti.
Because of Cao Yanmian, the people of Dongcao followed Saktu and took a gamble. As a result, they lost everything.
After Saktu was unable to capture the enemy and retreated, Tosho suffered bloody revenge from Saman Persia.
Of the 40,000 to 50,000 people in the clan, less than 3,000 were killed, and most of the women and children were lost.
Cao Yanmian's nephew, the only bloodline of the Dong Cao royal family, escaped under the protection of his confidants.
When the Pei brothers and Xue Sili found them, the descendants of Dongcao Kingdom. They have already eaten all the seeds for next year.
The remaining supplies are only dozens of goats. Although they can survive this winter, large numbers of people will definitely starve to death next year.
Therefore, the Pei brothers and Xue Sili did not spend much energy to convince them, because they had no choice at all.
"Caught! Caught!" someone shouted.
Pei Shengyuan looked down and saw that the knights of Dongcao Kingdom had captured a strong man with a big beard.
It looked like he was neither a businessman nor a local. Who would go to this wilderness in the middle of winter?
The bearded attendant looked at Pei Shengyuan and shouted: "Who are you? Are you from Dongcao Kingdom? We are not Saman Persians, we are from Kesai City.
As long as you are willing to help us return to Kesai City, Governor Yu Supu will be rewarded heavily! "
This is thinking of himself as the leader of Tosao Kingdom! Pei Shengyuan smiled coldly.
How could the people of Yusup come from the direction of Bukhara? What did they go to do? You have to interrogate and interrogate!
