Abdullah Ben Yousuf led an army of 20,000 to the south bank of Wuhushui with some success.

About a hundred miles south of Nasebo, there is a Ula City (Atamurat) on the south bank of the Wuhu River. It was originally the Governor's Office of the Luyaozhou State set up by the Tang Dynasty. Since the big city in the east but no city (Termez later) was controlled by the Tang Dynasty, Ula City became the important stronghold and must-pass for the Great Shi Kingdom to go north to manage Nasebo, Qishi City.

Yusuf was originally the deputy governor of Tochari, located in Tochari, and Hassan's deputy. Once Hassan died, Yusuf naturally became the best candidate for the governor of Tochari.

However, until now, Bingbo Silin did not report his name to Tessimone (Baghdad). Instead, the Caliph in Tesimone sent someone to urge him to appoint him as soon as possible after learning about Hassan's defeat.

Why is this?

There is only one reason: Yousuf is a caliph. Although Bingbosilin is a saint in the Khorasan area, he is still a Khorasan native, and he is not even a big cannibal. Naturally, the Caliph will not let him do whatever he wants in Khorasan. Yousuf is one of the people he placed here.

After Hassan's 30,000 troops were wiped out, Yusuf did not feel any concern. In the entire Tochar region, he still had 70,000 troops. Although he was light cavalry with his own light weapons, it was enough to protect the safety of Tochar.

In Tochar, the Tang Dynasty, which could threaten him, was the Tang Dynasty north of the Wuhu River, but the Tang Dynasty had only 3,000 military towns in Saijiashen City, Shimao's five kingdoms. It would be good to be able to protect the north shore of the Uhu River, and it was far from threatening the Tochar countries.

After getting Bingbo Silin asked him to lead an army of 20,000 north to deter the Shaw Ye army near Ula City, Yusufu was very dissatisfied.

At this time, he naturally knew that after Mulu City was strengthened by the 50,000 troops in the southern Tus City, the main attack direction of the Dashi Army must be in the Mu Kingdom and Bi Kingdom, and he was just a feint here.

However, when he discovered the former capital of Xiaoshiguo, and the later Governor's Office of the Dashikhorasan area, only a few Thunder Ye Army were stationed in Nasebo City, he unexpectedly took away Nasebo, thus making great contributions, and then let Bingbo Silin make him the throne of Governor of Tochar as soon as possible.

What's more, he also met the large imam "Phadin" who fled from Nasepo City to the south bank of the Wuhu River.

As mentioned earlier, Puhading's religious prestige in the entire Khorasan region was second only to Bingbo Silin. Although Puhading was already Li Dai Taozun at this time, although the Zoroastrian leader in Qishi City rarely showed his true face, judging from the situation when Yousuf saw him, this leader obviously looked very similar to the real Puhading, and even twins might be.

What is even more jaw-dropping is that this person has a very good understanding of the teachings of the Grand Food Church and the sect, and has not revealed any flaws in front of Yousuf.

In the Great Food Temple in Ula Yucheng, this person's words made Yusufu excited.

"Governor, Nasebo City is the Governor's Office located in the Horasan area of ​​our country. The residents of the city are all people who are eager to eat. Unfortunately, after being captured by the Saiye Army, in addition to the soldiers in the city being captured and killed by the Saiye Army, the residents were safe and sound. Near the temples of Nasebo City, there are also a thousand disciples who can sacrifice their lives at any time."

"The Governor led a 20,000 army north. With my contact, these people will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. At that time, the Governor will attack this city with all his might. Even if he cannot capture this city, he can still kill and hurt the Shattered Ye Army. At this time, if he negotiates with the Shattered Ye Army, he will probably be able to return to Ziyad..."

When this person said this, Yusuf's eyelids suddenly moved.

In fact, in his mind, Hassan and Ziad were all dead. According to the instructions given to him by the Caliph, these two were the right-hand men of Bingbo Silin, and there were still several generals. Once they died, Bingbo Silin's strength would definitely be greatly reduced. It is not without hope that the Caliph would truly unify Khorasan.

What's more annoyed to the Caliph in the past two years is that although Bingbo Silin led the Kharasan army to annihilate the white-clothed and food-clad army and destroy the Umaya family, there were countless cities wherever he went, and how many women and treasures he seized. According to the empire's rough estimate, Bingbo Silin's hand was probably more wealth than the one in the current Taixi treasury!

This is something that the Caliph cannot tolerate, but he is helpless now. He is just constantly tempting and dare not take real action.

When Yusuf's eyes burst into anger when he thought of the treasure and the woman who might be hidden in Yila (Tehran).

However, he quickly calmed down.

He knows his weight.

"Even Ziad and Hassan are defeated, can I defeat the Shattered Ye Army with only 20,000 people? Ziad, Hassan has the most elite force in the Horosan area"

So he looked at the man and said, "The Great Imam, it's not that I'm timid, but that I can't. Ziad and Hassan are all famous generals of Khurasan. Even they were defeated by the Thunder Ye Army. How can I fight and win? What's more, the Governor-General clearly ordered me to just pretend to move near Ulahecheng. If I attack against the order, I will be punished by the Governor-General regardless of victory or defeat."

After saying that, he saw the Great Imam showing a disappointed expression, and smiled and said, "The Great Imam naturally knew that except for a few people in the Tochar region, most of them were believers of Buddhism and Zoroastrianism. The Governor always knew this. He did not force the Patans here to convert to the original religion, but instead regarded this as the main source of troops. Most of the Patans lived in valleys and were brave and good at fighting. Although they did not have armor, their combat power was also quite considerable."

"Near Herat, there is a large tribe, which is said to be a descendant of the Kushan Empire's royal family. After our country entered, they barely believed in the Great Food Church, but they were still believers of Zoroastrianism in private. Hassan and I both knew about this and ignored it."

"It's enough that he pays taxes on time and actively sends troops to fight for our country. According to the Governor's plan, the only purpose of our Grand Food Education is to spread the glory of Allah to every inch of the world. There are naturally twists and turns on the way, but since even a religion like Zoroastrianism has a saying that it will take three thousand years to reincarnate, Grand Food Education can afford it."

"So, we keep fighting everywhere, and with the action of Imam, this goal will definitely be achieved."

"Of the twenty thousand people I brought, half of the Patans were warriors who could fight in deserts and mountains. The leader was Karim. He was north of the Uhu River and to Nasebo, there was more than a hundred miles of desert, with pastures and farmland. I asked Karim to lead 10,000 light cavalry to go deep into the north shore and raid everywhere, making the Sacred Ye Army confused."

(Patans, the Pashtuns in later generations)

"Although these pagans are a bit reluctant to serve in the military, they will definitely not let them go if they have the opportunity to rob. Karim's army is the largest of the Tocharo Patans. If the Shattered Ye Army annihilates it, it will be convenient for our country to control Tochar."

When the man heard this, he quickly said, "Governor, since this is the case, why not let me see him first. I will mobilize the Patans in the way of this religion."

Yusuf nodded, "Then Imam will be there."

......

Almost all the Grand Food Temples that were rebuilt on the basis of the Zoroastrian temples are similar, and most of them retain the basement with underground water wells, and Ula Yucheng is no exception.

Karim couldn't help but feel a little surprised to get the news that the great imams in the entire Khorasan region were going to summon him.

Karim is well-proportioned and wears a white cotton robe with gold edges. The hem of the cotton robe just exceeded the knee, revealing the trousers inside, and the turban on her head is also inlaid with golden gems.

Before the invasion of Tochar, the Tang Dynasty set up the Persian Governor's Office south of Herat, and the Persian king who had fallen to this point served as the governor. The Karim family, the largest group of the Patans, had a good relationship with the Persian royal family. After the establishment of the Governor's Office, the Patans naturally became the largest source of troops in the Governor's Office.

However, the Governor's Office was negligently destroyed, and all the former Persian royal families were destroyed, so the Patans naturally defected to the great cannibals again.

For them, there was not much difference between Persia, Dashi, and Tang dynasties. Tochar is not like the castles and populations in the rivers, which are easy to conquer. Most of the Tochar is mountainous, and it is not easy to conquer completely with force. Therefore, all the forces entering the region adopted the policy of restraint without exception at the beginning.

It can be seen that he was as powerful as a cannibal. After occupying Tochar, he did not dare to promote the food education here until the ninth century.

It doesn't matter, come and go freely.

This is a common idea for the chiefs of the Tocharian tribe like Karim.

Therefore, when he learned that the Great Imam wanted to summon him, he was naturally inseparable, but he did not have much desire for him.

He also visited the temples there when he was in Herat, but he had seen the Imam there while serving in the ground hall. It was the first time he had seen the Imam in the dark underground.

Naturally, he would not have thought that the Imam who usually hides in the pile of parchment rolls would be unfavorable to him, but he was just confused about why he summoned him underground.

“Tick…”

The basement of Ula Yucheng was like the color waves, both of which were quite deep. After passing through a spiraling stone steps, the ticking sound of water droplets falling from the darkness in the distance came.

"Come here"

The sound came from a dim oil lamp.

The voice was clean, pleasant and awe-inspiring, which made Karim a little strange. This person actually knew Patan and spoke very authentically.

At this time, Karim finally understood that it was definitely not easy to summon him this time.

With some anxiety and a little excitement, Karim slowly walked towards the oil lamp. The basement was also quite large. Karim walked for a while before he got there.

The man was hiding in the darkness, revealing only a vague outline, and immediately showed up after seeing Karim.

Karim was shocked at first sight!

He should have seen this person, but most of them ten years ago, perhaps in Herat, or in Ula City, but he must have seen him, at this time, he was wearing a messenger's clothes that were in high positions in the Zoroastrian Church. Under the dim light, the edges of the clothes were vividly embroidered with patterns embroidered with jumping flames!

On the top of the head, only a few people can wear the red and yellow gem on the headscarf!

What's even more outrageous is that the man was holding two iron pieces in his hand!

Seeing this piece of iron, Karim was no longer confused. He knelt down and crawled at his feet.
Chapter completed!
