Since ancient times, in order to conquer a country with a vast territory and a large population, in addition to defeating the army of this country, we must also face the continuous struggle of the passionate people led by the country's aspiring people.

When this country still has a strong civilization, the cohesion and fighting spirit of the country's military and civilians will be stronger, and this kind of struggle will be particularly powerful. Even if it is suppressed for a while, the will of civilization will not perish, and there is still a possibility of a comeback in a hundred years.

Although the Tang army successfully captured the plateau, this did not mean that the war was over. In terms of domestic population, the Dashi in its heyday was not much worse than the Dashi Tang Dynasty, which also means that the foundation of the organized resistance among the Dashi people.

For the Tang army, if a war is used to destroy the Daqi, the most important thing is to fight quickly and decide quickly, and it must not be delayed. Next, the army will attack the Mesopotamia, and as the rear plateau, it must be stable. If many civilian rebels appear and disturb the food channels are in chaos in the rear, it will definitely be a disaster for the Tang army.

When Li Ye attacked a place, every time Li Ye attacked a place, there would be a team of civil servants taking over local political affairs and sacrificing the people. There were few business trips. But after all, it was a foreign country. The most important thing was that civilizations were different. It was not so easy for civil servants to quickly sacrificate the place.

A hundred miles southwest of Nisa City, in a town of not too small, the big food deputy Emil Xiluchi knocked on the door of an ordinary yard in the wind and snow. After a moment, the door was opened. Xiluchi looked at the streets and alleys, flashed into the yard, and went straight to the main house.

There were already many people in the room, filling the small room. Seeing Xi Luchi come in, everyone quickly got up to greet him.

"Don't worry about these common etiquettes. I don't have much time to stay here. I have to rush to the next place. What's the situation? You can report it quickly!"

The dusty Xi Luchi sat down on the main seat, his eyes swept across everyone's faces. Seeing that most of them looked solemn, they did not have much loss, so they felt a little relieved.

Mallen's strategic depth was arranged in the 800-mile east of the plateau. Because the Tang army's offensive progressed rapidly and the destruction of the recruitment team, the monks and their supplies could not be in place as scheduled, and it was declared to be destroyed early.

In the face of being unable to withstand the Tang army's offensive, Mallen had to withdraw back to the Mesopotamian Basin and call on all regions to serve the kings and prepare to defend Baghdad. But Mallen did not completely give up on the plateau, or in other words, did not give up on military operations on the plateau.

Before leaving, he kept Xi Luchi, letting the other party lead the plateau military affairs, gather civil forces from all over the country, and cooperated with a small number of elite troops who had not withdrawn earlier and had hidden in the countryside. When the Tang army attacked Baghdad, they cooperated with the action, which made the Tang army's rear unstable and difficult to deal with.

There are not many troops who can stay. After all, the Tang army has a fierce offensive and Malun has insufficient preparation time. In addition, if the number of troops is large and the target is too large, it will inevitably be noticed by the Tang army. If they are hunted and killed, they will be sacrificed in vain, so the army hidden in the countryside is limited.

If Xi Luchi wants to take action, he must gather civil forces and give full play to the advantages of the large number of believers in the Crescent Cultivation and spread all over the place. In this way, the power is hidden among the people, and not only has a great degree of concealment, but also, as long as it is organized properly, the power can be gathered will be huge.

"Mr. Emil, there are more than 30,000 people in Quxi Town and surrounding areas, including nearly 2,000 monks and more than 100 monks in Qi training."

"There are so many?"

"Mr. Emil, Quxi Town is remote and has no particularly strong presence. Therefore, when the Caliph issued a conscript order before, not many monks here were summoned.

"The recruitment team that went out of Nisa City was led by Garyji. It was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and suffered heavy casualties. However, many of them escaped. They fled in the battle, fearing that they were held accountable, and most of them sneaked into the countryside, so there are many monks in Quxi Town now."

A Mahe, a middle-aged Qi training monk, reported this.

Xi Luchi showed joy on his face, which was a good news, "You hide and summoned the monks in batches to tell them that the guilt of escaping before will not be investigated. The Caliph gave them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. As for other monks, they will issue a call for convening in the name of the True God, so that they can obey the orders and be ready to act at any time!"

Speaking of this, Xi Luchi pondered for a moment, looked at Amahe's eyes and asked thoughtfully: "Now that the Tang army has occupied the plateau, do the monks still have the desire to fight?"

Amahe hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Lord Emil, the monks in Quxi Town are all loyal believers of the True God and are willing to die for the True God! The Tang people invaded our country, killed our compatriots, robbed our land, and blasphemed the True God. Even if we all died in battle, we would expel them to the death!"

This is righteous, but it may not be completely in line with reality, but it still reflects a strong will. Xi Luchi nodded and praised: "As long as you make meritorious contributions, the Caliph will not be stingy with rewards. Once the Tang people are expelled, you will always enjoy the glory of the true god!"

Everyone in the room said in unison: "For the only true god, expel the Tang people and swear to never retreat!"

After leaving the yard, Xi Luchi did not stop and rushed to the next place braved the strong wind and snow. Now the plateau has been captured by the Tang army. In order to control the place, the great monks were cruising outside all day long, and Xi Luchi did not dare to fly rashly in the air.

The just meeting with Amahe and others made Xi Luchi very excited. Although the army was defeated on the front battlefield and lost its territory, the faith of the True God still existed firmly and would not disappear so quickly.

The believers of the Crescent Sect have long worshipped the True God, making them still willing to be warriors of the True God and to die for the True God.

"There are hundreds of thousands of monks in the entire plateau. Although masters in the priest realm will definitely be noticed by the Tang people. They are either killed or imprisoned and controlled, the power of ordinary monks cannot be underestimated."

Based on the situation of patrolling everywhere in these days, Xi Luchi inferred the number of monks he could mobilize. This number made him full of hope for the future. "From the current situation, it is absolutely feasible to use the power of the people and let the monks lead them to resist the Tang army. With the cover of the people, it can also reduce the possibility that the Tang army can detect abnormalities."

Before Mullen left, he made clear arrangements about the actions that Xi Luchi should have taken.

Malun didn't need Xi Luchi to gather an army of 100,000 to attack the important cities occupied by the Tang army and harass the Tang army's large groups of troops. He only needed Xi Luchi to organize monks, teamed up with hundreds and thousands of people to harass the Tang army's food routes and create chaos in the local area.

What is important is not how much damage the Tang army caused to be caused at once, but rather that a team of monks or even ordinary believers should be used to create an accident in a vast area. Even if it is just killing a patrol team of the Tang army and assassinating a civil servant of the Tang army, it is also useful.

In this way, points are used to form lines and lines are used to form surfaces. With continuous action, the combined action results will be great. When the rear of the Tang army is unstable and orders are collapsed everywhere, and then gathering forces to conduct a key attack will be easy to succeed.

Mallen's intention was to use Baghdad to block the Tang army for a period of time, and at the same time, let the believers of the Crescent Cult on the plateau take action on a large scale, causing the Tang army to fall into the "full resistance" of the believers of the Crescent Cult. In the end, he was exhausted and swallowed little by little and tortured to death.

"The Tang army has not had many troops and cannot be scattered to guard the vast area. We must concentrate our efforts to attack Baghdad. Once the rear is in large-scale chaos, it will inevitably be difficult to deal with. As long as the chaos expands to a certain extent, with the foundation of the Crescent Sect and the appeal of the True God, the people will follow the monks to resist the Tang army!

"As long as I arrange it well, and at hundreds of locations at the same time, even if each action is not very active, it will be enough to cause a total chaos.

"When the time comes, concentrate the elite troops and defeat several Tang Dynasty garrisons who came to settle the matter, the momentum will rise sharply, and the people will follow us to drive out the invaders. It won't take long for the Tang army on the entire plateau to be the same as falling into a sea of ​​fire!"

Thinking of this, Xi Luchi couldn't help but show his eyes. He did not get carried away, and he calmed his mind in time, searched for him to check if there were any followers, and quickly hid into the mountain path.

On the afternoon of the same day when Xi Luchi left Quxi Town, a large number of Tang soldiers protected a team of civil servants and clerks passing by. A famous soldier went door to door and knocked on the door. With the cooperation of the monks in the Western Regions, the officials patiently explained the Tang Dynasty's strategy of pacifying the people to comfort the people.

Because Li Ye has been preparing to attack Dashi since five years ago, not only monks from the Western Regions Commercial Bank, but also civil servants speak local languages, and there are not many obstacles to communication between the two sides.

Ergouzi, who came off the horse, held the puppet, looked at a young civil servant, and opened a notice written in big food in his hand, and explained to Ama with a polite smile. Although the other party did not refute, he looked as if he obviously didn't want to listen, and he felt angry.

He said to Niu Dan beside him: "These big cannibals are so rebellious. It's really hard to deal with! In my opinion, it should be arrested by those who do not cooperate, gathered together and cut off their heads, and showed them to everyone else. At that time, these barbarians will naturally know that they will be so polite to them, so why should they be so polite to them?"

Niu Dan slapped Ergouzi on his backhand and taught a lesson unhappily: "Have you learned everything you learned in Chang'an College? If it is useful to start a killing now, is it necessary for you to whine here?"

Ergouzi finally helped the puppet to a perfect position and was slapped by Niu Dan. For his handsome and majestic image, he had to continue to adjust the subtle angle of the puppet with both hands.

Ergouzi said unconvincedly: "These believers of the Crescent Sect are more stubborn than the other. Our actions to comfort the people are so generous, but they don't know how grateful they are. It seems that we owe them what they are. Are they really not afraid of death?"

Seeing these great cannibals, Niu Dan was afraid of the king's army and did not dare to disobey the words and deeds, but her face was as cold as a stone in the pit, and she couldn't help but sigh.
