Chapter 019 Cooperation
Aya sacrificed herself to save her father, which was not attractive to Li Zaixing. From the 21st century, he knew that the great cannibals had a habit: blood hatred. When they had conflicts with them, they had no chance to eliminate their grudges with a smile. If they didn't kill them, they would not be able to resolve the hatred until one side bowed his head.
Therefore, he was planning to kill all these great cannibals to eliminate future troubles. Although this great cannibal woman is very beautiful and very informative, she will not make him moved. It is no problem to look at her, because a woman is in unnecessary trouble, which is not his style.
However, when he heard the name Nasr, he had a new idea.
Naser was once the Governor of Khorasan, the head of the Great Cannibal in the Hezhong area. Unlike the previous Governors of Khorasan who only knew about the conquest by force, Naser was the first Governor of Khorasan to negotiate on a large scale. The Great Cannibal finally entered Shiguo, not to be defeated, but to be negotiated. Although the army of Dashi had already reached the city at that time, it was against the main reinforcements of the Shiguo and the Turks.
Such people are simple in food. The big cannibals are more accustomed to conquering by force, then massacre the city, and snatching all their property. For the sake of wealth, they even did not hesitate to attack those who had surrendered, and they did not care about any credibility or whether it would cause rebellion. At worst, they could conquer them again. Nasr's adoption of the policy of mercy was incredible for the big cannibals, but he also achieved incredible success. In just a few years, he mastered most of the river.
If the Abbasid power had not risen in the river, Nasr had to turn his main energy to deal with Musilin, and give him a few more years to control the entire river. In fact, after the Kang Kingdom, the most powerful country in the river area, fell into his hands, the remaining small countries had no power to fight back at all, and it was only a matter of time before they could join the big food. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had not even had a marriage with Bahan.
When Li Zaixing heard Princess Heyi talk about this, he felt that Naser was a talented person and had a political mind. He was also glad that Naser was unstable behind him. Otherwise, when Naser controlled the entire river, the Tang Dynasty would have had a great resistance to entering again.
He didn't expect to meet Nasr's remnants here.
Li Zaixing is not a politician, but he still knows that the enemy may be friends. Even if it fails, Ibrahim has become a fish swimming under the cauldron, and he cannot cause much trouble for him. Perhaps without him taking action, Musilin will come and kill them completely.
Li Zaixing treated Ibrahim's wound and let him lie flat. Ibrahim's face was not good, but his breath was still stable and he was not in danger of life for the time being. Li Zaixing's knife cut open his waist but did not hurt his internal organs, which was also considered his luck.
"I'll treat your wound." Li Zaixing waved: "You are my female slave now and you can't die casually."
Seeing that Ibrahim was safe, Aya realized that she had lost her composure. After hearing Li Zaixing's words, her face turned red.
Li Zaixing lowered his face and was murderous: "Do you want to go back on your word?"
Aya was stunned for a moment, then realized what it meant to be Li Zaixing's female slave. Even she was Li Zaixing's whole person, and what was Li Zaixing's touch when Li Zaixing touched her? She walked over silently, lowered her head, and stood in front of Li Zaixing.
Li Zaixing stretched out a hand and pressed it on her naked shoulders, and gently pressed it. Aya understood and bent her knees and knelt in front of Li Zaixing. Her knees hit the ground, which hurts. Aya's tears burst out from her eyes, but not because of her knees, but because of humiliation. This position is the posture of a female slave serving her master, although she did not serve her master like a real female slave.
Li Zaixing looked down at her coldly, held the arrow shaft with both hands, and used some hidden force. The arrow shaft was broken with a "pop". Li Zaixing pulled out the broken arrow from both sides, and then pinched the wound with his hands. Aya screamed in pain. Li Zaixing turned a blind eye and signaled Elmadi to apply medicine and bandage it.
Li Zaixing immediately asked Xue Yu and others to seize the weapons of the cannibals and gather all the war horses and camels. Although the cannibals glared at them, no one dared to resist. Under Pei Xuanqing's command, they gathered the bodies of the dead soldiers and prepared to cremate.
When the sky was getting dark, Ibrahim woke up. He sighed, feeling a little disappointed and relieved.
Aya told him what happened. Ibrahim touched Aya's face with pity: "Why do you have to do it? How great is it to let me go to see Allah like this."
"Can you enter heaven even if you buried your bones in a foreign land?" Li Zaixing walked over, with the Persian old man behind him.
After hearing the translation, Ibrahim smiled bitterly. He looked at Li Zaixing up and down, raised his arm that was shot by an arrow, and signaled. Li Zaixing nodded: "I shot it. Even three arrows failed to shoot you to death, which means we have the possibility of cooperation." He smiled and raised his lips slightly: "Maybe, this is why Allah will not let you die. You still have a mission, and you cannot enter heaven without completing your mission."
"Cooperate?" Ibrahim was stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused.
"You have so many people wandering here. If no one secretly supports you, even if the prophet is reborn, I'm afraid you can't do it." The old Persian man set up his horses, and Li Zaixing sat down beside Ibrahim and clapped his hands: "Be more refreshed. If you are willing to deal with Musilin with me, we will be friends. If you don't want to, I will send you to see Allah."
"You can't deal with Musilin." Ibrahim looked at Li Zaixing vigilantly: "Unless your main force of the Tang Dynasty arrives."
"This is my business." Li Zaixing interrupted Ibrahim's temptation: "Tell me first, who is secretly supporting you. If I feel trustworthy, I will tell you my plan."
Ibrahim sighed and was silent for a long time: "Bukhara and Samarkand have many people who oppose Muslim."
Bukhara refers to Abumi City. The Tang people called it Anguo. They once thought it was Anguo in the Han Dynasty, so they set it up as Anguo in the third year of Xianqing. Later, they found out that they had made a mistake and called it Anguo. Samarkand, the capital of Kang State, is Samogen City, and is now controlled by the cannibals. There are people who oppose Musilin in these two cities, and it seems that Musilin is in trouble.
"Why are these people opposed to Musilin?"
"For he was too cruel," said Ibrahim. "And Abbath was betrayal and attacking unarmed guests, contrary to the customs of our Bedouin people, and contrary to the teachings of Allah and the prophet Muhammad, and must be abandoned."
Li Zaixing heard Gus say about Abbas killing people at a banquet, and then heard Ibrahim say it again and gained more knowledge. Ibrahim probably wanted to surrender to Abbas, but Abbas did this, which made him afraid. Once he put down his weapons, he would become the meat on the Abbass's sword and no one would want to do this. Unless he had to, who would put down his weapons and surrender?
"It's mine in the river." Li Zaixing said frankly: "Whether it's you or Musilin, you must withdraw from the river. The only difference is that the way you leave is a peaceful retreat, or if I cut off my head and return to heaven."
"He can't go to heaven, he can only go to hell!" Ibrahim roared, feeling excited.
"Okay, he goes to hell." Li Zaixing smiled sly: "Then are you interested in sending him a ride?"
Ibrahim was silent, but his eyes revealed his thoughts. He was moved. He did not expect to retake the river, he just wanted to leave the river safely. He received the news that someone escaped from Abbas's claws and fled to Egypt. He also wanted to go west. There was no hope at all, but if there was the help of the Tang Dynasty, there would be more opportunities. If it really didn't work, it was also a good choice to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
This is a fact that everyone knows about the favorable treatment of the alien races in the Tang Dynasty. For those who lost their country, Chang'an is the closest place to heaven.
What's more, he has no choice now.
"Treat my daughter well, and you can't really treat her as a female slave."
"It depends on how powerful you are." Li Zaixing smiled, a little cruel. Ibrahim didn't object to it. On the contrary, he felt that Li Zaixing was very honest. The status of a woman in the eyes of her husband is closely related to the strength of the family. If he wants Aya to live a better life and have dignity, he must be excited and let Li Zaixing see his strength.
"I... have a map here." Ibrahim hesitated for a long time, took out a shabby sheepskin map with difficulty, and then looked at the sword in Elmdy's hand: "That is an antique that my family has kept for more than a hundred years, and it is said to be from Kuss II."
"I know this knife." Elmdy smiled faintly.
"You don't deserve this knife." Ibrahim turned to look at Li Zaixing: "I want to use this knife and this map, add five camels, five horses, and twenty slaves as Aya's dowry."
"The knife is my spoil, I will give it to anyone I want." Li Zaixing interrupted Ibrahim without hesitation and took the map from Ibrahim: "Doal is not important, how much you can help is the key. This picture...if it is useful, it is more expensive than ten precious swords."
Ibrahim wanted to speak but stopped, and his eyes looked at Li Zaixing strangely. From this sentence, he knew that Li Zaixing was not an ordinary person, and he knew very well the importance of this map. His ambition was definitely not just a few camels, and a few slaves were as simple as that. What he wanted was the entire Hezhong area, and it might even include Tochar and Tianzhu in the south.
Ibrahim looked at Aya and suddenly felt an inexplicable joy. Perhaps this is Allah's preference for Aya. After she suffered so much, she could meet a young hero with great ambitions.
"Okay, let me tell you about the situation south of the Amu River (Wuhu River)."
