In early July, the temperature in the river reached its highest level.

Just like the weather, Ziad, who was in Samoy City, finally couldn't hold back his anger, and his mood was rarely as irritable as an ant on a hot pan.

Looking back at the beginning, he led the soldiers of Khorasan, expeditioning Yila, Bushar, attacking Tochar in the west, and attacking Fars in the south (the name of southern Persia at this time), and then attacked Taixifeng (Baghdad and its surrounding areas), Aleppo, and Damascus, the heart of the country, and all wanted to be invincible.

Even the attack of the Romans who were eyeing each other and preparing to take advantage of the troubled waters was defeated by him. For a moment, the reputation of the number one general under his command was at its peak. After Hassan's father Kahtaba died, his name was even fortunate to enter the Caliph's secret file with Bingbosin and cursed by him every day.

Although he is usually known for his calmness and loyalty, his invincibility in the four years of battle finally made him feel a sense of arrogance.

But this arrogance was shattered by the Shattered Ye Jun in the river!

Even now, he still thinks that the Sword Ye Army is just showing off its power as a firearm. If it is a real sword and a gun, the Dashi Army may not lose to him.

What he didn't expect was that whether it was the Tang Dynasty, the Dashi, or the Turks, the military strength was different, but no matter which camp it was, there must be elite, general and weak, unlike the army that the Saoye Army used the same selection method, the same training method, the same food conditions, and the same weapons and equipment hatched troops!

This is the foothold of the Thunder Ye Jun.

This is not to say that there is no distinction between the Shuye Army. The old camp is naturally stronger than the new camp. This is a natural principle, but Ma Lin’s Raole camp is not much better than Hou Qi’s Rehai camp.

This is the only reason why Sun Xiurong was generous and without any fear of taking a few newly established camps to fight south.

The crushing of military construction concepts, training methods, and logistics support is the way to succeed in Ye Jun.

The only regret of Sun Xiurong is that he cannot give this army a high degree of faith. Under the current conditions, he probably will never be able to do it in his entire life.

“Shun…”

The cicadas on the grape trellis in the courtyard outside the door made people even more annoying.

Ziad, with his hair loose, and wearing a wide black robe, walked barefoot down the rotating stone steps to the ground.

Next to the well, a lonely lamp was lit, and a carpet had been prepared next to it, with fruits and wine that had just been fished from the cold well.

Sitting upright on the carpet, Ziad prayed for a while, finally calmed himself down and began to think calmly.

"There are more and more broken Ye soldiers siegeing the city these days. Could it be that the news that Yousuf risked his life to spread is true? This idiot Yousuf has really regained that seductive wave? If it is true, it would be a huge irony, but I did see the Tocharian cavalry on the city wall, and their cavalry are all one and two horses."

"A Tocharian war horse, a Bactrian camel, the headdress, and the flag are indeed Tocharians, but the Shattered Ye Army can completely fake it."

"If the Thunder Ye Jun defeated Yousuf again, well, this matter is likely to exist, and it is entirely possible to convince the Tocharis who did not convert to the teachings to serve him and let him appear near Samoa City."

"But what can I do? I have been operating in the river for many years. Although I am trapped, news from around me is constantly coming. Hasim, in the west, is trapped in Biguo City. Seeing that there is little hope, I hope that Yusufu dog will rescue me? It is completely impossible."

"But what if it's true?"

“…”

While I was nervous and thinking violently with myself, a slight noise came from afar.

"Ismayi, is it you?"

At this moment, there is no one else that can appear in this place except his adopted son Ismayi.

"Yes, adoptive father, hurry up and fight!"

Ziad frowned, "What's the fight? Did the abominable Sogdians rebelled? Haven't you told you that the Sogdians would kill them immediately if they had any signs of rebellion! It would be a pity if they killed the wrong one!"

"No," Ismayi's voice in the distance revealed a faint excitement, "The Thunder Ye Army outside the city fought with the Tocharians!"

"oh?"

Ziad's voice was also trembling.

"There are at least ten thousand cavalry in Tocharo, and the Thunder and Earth Fire in the Thunder and Earth, adoptive father, hurry up and go up!"

......

On the city wall, Ziad saw a rare scene, not ten thousand cavalry, but three large Tocharian phalanxes, all of which were light cavalry, besieging a team of Thunderbolt Cavalry. Although the distance was a little far and could not be seen clearly, there were clearly several temporary camps composed of vehicles around the Thunderbolt Cavalry, and huge roars were made from time to time in the camps.

After each roar, there were screams on the Tocharian side, including cavalry and horses. Although the casualties were not clear, the tragic situation could be imagined.

As the sound of artillery continued to sound, although the Tocharians were dominant, they could not resist it. As another team of Shattered Ye Army arrived from a distance, the Tocharians were about to collapse!

Ziad on the city wall hesitated for a while and finally gave the order.

"The opportunity is rare. If I led three thousand cavalry to smash Ye Jun sideways, even if the Tocharians were defeated, they would not lose too much. Ismayi, stay in the city to guard..."

Ismayi's expression was a little complicated. He knew that as long as the cavalry left the city, even if they were defeated, they might escape, and the infantry could only die.

But he didn't dare to face Ziad's gaze, so he could only lower his head and agree.

Ziard came out from the north gate far away from the battlefield with the only three thousand cavalry left in the city!

When the Shattered Ye Army, who was attacking the Tocharis in the north, ran to the northwest immediately after seeing them, Ziad was naturally very happy, "As long as he gathered with the Tocharis, it would be a welcome thing whether he escaped or entered the city!"

So he met Karim, the great master of Patans. After seeing Ziad, Karim also had a smile on his face.

As both sides kept getting closer, Ziad finally saw Karim clearly and was shocked when he saw his clothes!

Although Karim wore the usual hat of the Tocharians, he also had a armor that was obviously not Tocharian. The armor style was obviously from the Tang Dynasty!

This is not counting. In the past, the Tocharian cavalry had a scimitar with a scimitar on his back, but Karim was holding a spear with a barb in his hand!

Ziyad saw this kind of spear a month ago. It was the tiger gun in the mouth of Sada Ye Jun!

Another weapon in Karim's hand made him even more stunned.

Short crossbow used by cavalry!

Could it be that Yousufu recovered the Sebo City and confiscated the weapons of the Shattered Ye Army? If so, it would be a great achievement.

With a little nervousness and more excitement, Ziad inserted his Damascus scimitar inlaid with many priceless stones into the scabbard and stretched out his arms to Karim.

"My dear brother, Allah welcomes you..."

Karim also smiled, but when the distance between the two sides was about ten feet away, Karim's smile suddenly disappeared, and the short crossbow in his left hand was fired!

The short crossbow hit Ziad's war horse!

Ziad fell to the ground!

......

Back many days ago.

Bingbosilin expected it well, and Karim did rebel.

In addition to being the envoy of the Zoroastrianism, he has already dressed up as the Great Food and Imam "Phardin", and he also has his secrets.

"Dear Karim, your real name is Fengyi, and your surname is from the Kushan Empire. It is naturally given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After the Great Cannibal captured the Persian Governor's Office, the grandson of the last Persian king, Pilus, and the son of Ninis, was unknown. The Great Cannibal spent ten years in Tocharo to search carefully, and almost found every inch of land, but still found nothing..."

(The Tang Dynasty gave the descendants of the Kushan royal family a surname, Gui, Beilus, and Ninis all died in Chang'an, but Ninis' son Pushang disappeared in Jiling City)

Hearing this, the last trace of luck left in Karim's heart was gone.

"Honor, Pu Shang is indeed in my tribe, but he is now dressed as the envoy of the Wonderful Wind of the Zoroastrianism preaching in my tribe..."

"No, he is the messenger of Miaofeng"

"Master, isn't the messenger of Miaofeng Duhe, the King of Kang State?"

"I ask you, who is your successor?"

"Master, I understand. Once Duo dies, he will automatically become the messenger of Miaofeng."

"Okay, let's not talk about these. Judging from the current situation, only Sun Xiurong, the only one I have chosen to choose, may succeed, but he is in great trouble now..."

"Master, but he defeated Ziad and Hassan, that was Ziad and Hassan. To be honest, the entire Khorasan was captured by Ziad, and the entire Tochar was conquered by Hassan. In the conquering of the entire Persia, Tessifon, Damascus and other places, Bingbosilin, Ziad and Hassan ranked in the top three in terms of their contributions. Although they were nominally captured by Bingbosilin, the actual executors were Ziad and Hassan."

"It can be seen that these two people have the ability, but they are both defeated by Sun Xiurong. Do I need my teaching and assistance in this situation?"

"Need, do you know why I'm here?"

As soon as these words came out, Karim, who was the envoy of the Qingqi, suddenly thought of the story of the two Venerables of Light that had been circulating in the Zoroastrian Church. He thought to himself: "Even Hasan and Saifu, the general of Nasebo City, are dead. As a great imam, how can Hede escape from the sky? Is that story true?"

"In this way, the real Puhadin has now become the Lord of the First Church in the control of the Zoroastrians, and the former Church in the past became Puhadin? How did all this happen? It is too incredible."

Seeing Karim fall into deep thought, "Phardin" continued, "I'm going to hide it from you. Now that the Zoroastrianism is declining, it's no longer possible to deal with it with the light side. I can only hide in the darkness and act on the camera. What I am worried about is not Sun Xiurong, but Dark Venerable. He has been in the Great Food and Teachings for too long, and it's really possible whether his heart is still in this sect or not..."

“Why…”

Karim means why he didn't kill him in the Sebo City, and only let Venerable Light appear in the world.

"Phardin" said: "No, I cannot destroy the tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Zoroastrian Church. What's more, the dark side of human nature is the supreme mystery of this religion."

“…”

"Karim, what I am worried about is Gao Xianzhi. This man is both wise and brave, no less than Sun Xiurong. The Tang army's combat power is far better than the Dashi Army. If he suddenly comes out when the Sailye Army confronts the Dashi Army, Sun Xiurong will be defeated!"

"I have observed carefully. Needless to say, the Zoroastrianism has almost no place to establish a foothold. The Tang Dynasty advocates Taoism and is not interested in Benhuanism. However, Benhuan's rebellion against Manichi emerged in the Uighurs. At present, in addition to being in the Bakhan country, the Shi Kingdom is normally circulating, and the Saiye Army, which allows various religions to develop."

"But Master, since this is the case, why don't you support Shiguo very strongly and then Bahan?"

"Bahan, what I'm talking about, the latest news is that Gao Xianzhi has already brought the army into Bahan. According to this person's temperament, Bahan's country probably no longer exists, or is divided into pieces. Shi Kingdom, sandwiched between the Saiye Army and Dashi, how can it last forever?"

"If the Leaf Army completely defeated the Dashi Army, it would naturally not be able to cross the Wuhu River, but it would be possible to stabilize the territory north. The land north was originally a place where the Zoroastrians occupied the dominant position, and Sun Xiurong also allowed all kinds of religions to develop freely. In the end, it wouldn't our Zoroastrians have the advantage?"

Karim nodded, "Then how should I do it?"

"You get closer..."

......

So Karim lured Yousuf into Nasepo City. After eating the meal he prepared that night, everyone was immediately asleep and was completely disarmed by his men and the Shattered Ye Jun.
