Also force the inside, Turpan.
The leader, Hu Jiabudu, looked at the leaving general Lei Keyuan, his eyes full of worry.
Timur's grandson Hari has already arrived in the Ili Valley. I heard that he had promised a military order to occupy the entire Yilibaoli within two months after entering the Ili Valley. Now, ten days have passed!
Hu Jiabu was very worried. If Shamichagan was defeated by Timur, what would be the fate of Turpan?
Reyimu came over and whispered to Hu Jiabudu: "The Imam of Hami is here."
Hu Jiabudu turned around and sighed to Reyimu: "If the Imam comes on weekdays, we would welcome him. But at this moment, he comes here from Hami. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives."
Reyimu hesitated and asked, "Should we let him leave?"
Hu Jiabudu shook his head: "Imam is a highly respected imam of Hamid. He is supported by countless believers and cannot be neglected. Please come."
The Imam came, not alone, but also Huo Lin, and Du Jian, a scout from hundreds of households.
"Anse Liangmu Alai with dead wood."
"My Alai is so sleepy that my eyes are closed."
The Imam, Hu Jabdu and others greeted each other, exchanged a few words, and took their seats.
Hu Jabdu asked: "Isn't the Imam here to spread teachings?"
The Imam was a kind-faced elder wearing a turban. Although he was over fifty years old, he did not look old. Hearing Hu Jabdu's question, he calmly replied: "I don't dare to spread the teachings, but today At this point, we are indeed here to correct the teachings.”
Didn’t Hu Jia frown and correct his teachings?
The teachings come from the Quran. Every believer can get the teachings from there and receive the blessings of Allah. The teachings have not been distorted or tampered with. How can we correct it?
"Please ask the Imam to elaborate."
Hu Jiabu became cautious.
The Imam first sighed, with some compassion in his eyes: "Then let me tell you directly. Hu Jiabudu must also have heard the news. Timur's army has arrived in the Ili Valley, directly threatening the city of Yili. .”
Hu Jiabudu was more confused. Why did he mention Timur again if he wasn't talking about correcting the doctrine?
The Imam said sternly: "Hu Jabdu, you are also an Islamic believer. Come and tell me, what is the original intention of Islam?"
Hu Jabdu was a little uncomfortable with the Imam's jumping thinking, but he still replied respectfully: "Islam is to obey the will of God, abide by God's precepts and laws, and love others in peace."
The Imam nodded slightly: "Islam is the peace that Allah guides us. Allah opposes war, opposes hatred, and spreads friendship. Is what I said wrong?"
Hu Jiabudu shook his head: "That's right."
The Imam's face became solemn: "If we want to enter heaven, we need to believe in Allah, obey Allah's instructions, and care for others piously. The prophet said that you will not ascend until you become a confident and pious believer. Those who enter heaven, you will not become full believers until you care for each other. I tell you one thing. If you do that thing together, you will like each other, and that is to greet each other and wish you well. You also Remember?"
Hu Jiabudu nodded heavily: "I dare not forget the prophet's teachings."
The Imam took out a Quran wrapped in sheepskin from his arms and looked at Huqabudu: "Those who believe and do good deeds will be allowed by the Lord to enter that Paradise and live there forever. Allah will be in Paradise Give the blessing, do you remember what Allah said?”
Hu Jabdu naturally remembered it and replied: "Allah's message is 'I wish you peace'."
The Imam patted the Quran and sighed: "Allah tells us to have peace, but in the name of Islam, some people are doing things that destroy peace, kill indiscriminately, and conquer brutally! Hu Jia No, is such a believer worthy of holding the Quran, worthy of becoming a believer in Allah, worthy of being your master and making you worship?!"
Hu Jiabudu was shocked and looked at the Imam with wide eyes, uncertain: "What exactly do you want to say?"
The Imam remained silent, only looking at Hugabudu with a pair of deep and determined eyes.
Hu Jiabu was a little nervous. He knew what the Imam meant, especially the last sentence, which almost directly named him. Timur is here, do you want to surrender to him?
But the question is, what if you don’t surrender?
In the city of Turpan, there are only 4,000 capable warriors. Even if all the capable warriors in Huozhou and Liucheng to the east are added together, the maximum number can be 8,000.
Use these 8,000 soldiers to fight against Timur's 200,000 elite cavalry?
What are you thinking about? I believe in Allah, but I don’t want to have my head chopped off. Without my head, I can’t enter heaven.
Hu Jiabu looked at the Imam uneasily: "It is very dangerous for Yili to occupy the inner city. Now Shami Chagan can stop Harry, but what about Timur? You know, he destroyed countless cities and killed countless people. . When he comes, if you don’t want to be his enemy, you can only open the city gate, otherwise, when the city is broken, the city will be massacred! I don’t want to die, there are many believers here, and they don’t want to die either.”
The Imam opened the Quran and recited in a low voice: "O people who believe in God! You should all join in the religion of peace and do not follow the footsteps of the devil. He is indeed your enemy. Hu Jabdu, you Are you going to betray Allah and give up your faith?”
Hujabudu's hands were trembling a little. Facing the Imam who suppressed him with doctrine, the Quran, and Allah, he couldn't find any words to refute!
What can be refuted?
The Imam is right. These are all written in the Quran and actually exist. Allah does guide believers to believe in peace and teaches believers:
"You must not be deceived by demons that destroy peace, create chaos, or cause chaos, because these demons are your clear enemies."
All words are clear to me and every believer is clear to me.
But Timur holds a sword in one hand and the Quran in the other. How can he resist?
Hu Jabdu looked at the Imam and said in a low voice: "Imamate, you know, there is this sentence in the Quran, if this group oppresses that group, you should attack the oppressing group until they Submit to the command of Allah. If they submit, then mediate and provide justice; indeed Allah loves those who do justice.”
"The prophet also said that Allah will punish those who persecute people in the world. Timur believed that he came to liberate us and help us. He came under the instructions of Allah. You must also listen Here we are, Tamerlane's eastward expedition, called 'Jihad', is a fight for Allah, a fight for the liberation of those ignorant Ming people and to make them surrender to Allah, a fight for heaven!"
The Imam stared at Hu Jabdu and asked: "You are also a loyal believer of Allah. Come and tell me whether Timur has distorted the teachings and launched a war under the guise of Allah!"
Hu Jiabudu struggled a little, but finally believed in himself: "Yes, Timur is not a loyal believer in Allah! But he holds a long sword in his other hand..."
The Imam turned over the Quran and read deeply: "Those who are attacked have been given permission to resist because they are oppressed. God is indeed almighty in aiding them. Timur is an attacker. , the invaders, we are the ones being attacked, Allah has given us permission to resist, and Allah is with us.”
Hu Jiabudu's eyes widened: "Imam, do you know that because of your words, there will be no more living people and life here!"
The Imam closed the Quran, put it in his arms, and said solemnly: "If you really want to save Turpan, your people and the believers of Allah here, there is only one way, and that is to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against Timur. Army.”
"Da Ming? Are you crazy! You actually became Daming's lobbyist?!"
Hu Jiabudu stood up with a malicious look on his face.
Seeing this, Huo Lin sneered and said to the Imam: "They will be afraid of death. Timur has always had the habit of massacring cities. If they don't surrender, they will die. If they are given a choice, it is obvious that they will choose to surrender to a false believer. Let me They say that these people are not true believers of Allah at all, do not understand Allah’s teachings, and will not listen to Allah’s call for peace. They succumb to the executioner of war, thinking it is peace, but in fact it is the greatest slander against peace.”
"Who are you?!"
Hu Jiabudu shouted sharply.
Huo Lin stood up and said proudly: "Scribe of the Ming Dynasty, Huo Lin!"
Hu Jabdu was furious and shouted: "People from Ming Dynasty? Imam, this is the guest you brought!"
Huo Lin stretched out his hand to block the imam, and looked at Hu Jiabudu coldly: "Although I am not your brother, I have also read the Quran. Allah advises you to do good and forbid evil, and has already The tone of the command tells you to do good deeds for others! But you are afraid of a false believer and afraid of death, so you decide to do evil and join the evil Timur camp! You have disobeyed the instructions of Allah, what kind of believer are you? ?”
Hu Jiabu gritted his teeth.
Huo Lin came out disdainfully, moved his wrist, and said softly: "Hu Jiabudu, listen carefully. You have two choices now, either surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty allows you to spread the Quran freely and will not interfere with you. Faith. Or surrender to Timur and become a helper of evil."
"But I need to remind you that if you choose the latter, you will be the sworn enemy of Ming Dynasty! Timur is good at massacring cities. Ming Dynasty is not good at this, but he can still kill some people and warn others."
Hu Jiabudu shouted: "Are you threatening me?!"
Huo Lin nodded and said frankly: "Yes, this is a threat. But Daming's threats are true to their word."
Reyimu became angry and took out his sword: "I'll kill you now!"
Huo Lin was not afraid: "Try it, if I die, the entire Turpan city will be buried for me! The Ming army has already controlled Liucheng and Huozhou, and will arrive here soon."
"What?" Hu Jiabudu looked shocked and shouted: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to annex it, how can it be contained?"
Huo Lin waved his hand and corrected: "No, Ming is to redeem you and save you from Timur's butcher's knife. Of course, if you are unwilling to surrender, Ming can also send you to the butcher's knife. The war has begun. Now, Turpan has no choice."
Hu Jiabudu, Reyimu and others were panicked.
Yili is almost finished, Harry is attacking Yili City, and Ming is attacking Turpan! Two behemoths, powerful enemies, opened their mouths bloody and bit into the piece of meat in Yili's hand!
The earth trembled. Looking at this powerful movement, I am afraid it is a cavalry force, and there are not a few in number!
Ming’s cavalry!
Hu Jabdu finally looked at the Imam and smiled unnaturally: "Islam, I am a devout believer in Allah. I believe in Allah's instructions. I am willing to listen to Allah's call, surrender to the righteous Ming Dynasty, and resist the hypocrisy. The disciple Tamerlane..."
The Imam smiled faintly.
Huo Lin laughed heartily.
Du Jian yawned and took back the hand holding the Xiuchundao.
