Chapter 572 Two people meet
"I have seen Your Highness." Kuss-Old Sassanne walked into the house, bowed to Li Gong, who was sitting in the middle, and took the opportunity of looking up to look at Your Highness, full of doubts.
‘It took less than half an hour to welcome me, and I returned to my residence for a while, and suddenly I was summoned again. What is this to do?’
"No need to be polite." Li Gong said, and then ordered the guards to bring him a chair, and then said bluntly: "At the banquet just now, you talked about the many difficulties of continuing to attack Jebosilin."
"I have said it just now."
"After Gu came back, he thought about it carefully. Other difficulties could be solved. It was very difficult to find only people who were familiar with the terrain. But Gu was unwilling to give up and still wanted to try to recruit people who were familiar with the terrain of northeastern Persia. What if there were people who were sincere in serving Anxi and familiar with the local terrain to recruit people."
"What Your Highness said is that the most difficult problem to solve is that it is difficult to find someone who is trustworthy and familiar with the terrain of northeastern Persia. It is normal for Your Highness to not want to give up, but the possibility of finding such a person is too low. Your Highness should be prepared.
There is another matter that I want to say to His Highness." Kuss-Old Sassanthes paused and continued: "If you want to continue to attack Gebosilin, you must send troops in the near future. Isfahan and other places were not directly under the jurisdiction of Gebosilin before. It will take some time for him to establish a stable rule in the local area. If he waits for his rule to stabilize before advancing, he will probably achieve half the result with twice the effort."
"So that's it. I thought that since Persia was also considered the eastern part of the Great Garrison, his rule in the local area was as stable as in Khorasan."
Li Gong said in surprise and continued: "It seems that we need to recruit people who are familiar with the terrain of northeastern Persia. Liu Qi," he turned his head and ordered the lieutenant: "This kind of person must be recruited within one month."
"Yes." Liu Qi looked at Li Gong's serious expression. He had no smile at first, but suddenly he wanted to laugh out loud. He finally settled down.
"Sassanthesanthes, are you really not a person under your command who is familiar with the terrain of northeastern Persia?" Li Gong asked Kussanthesanthesanthes' question again.
"Only a few people are familiar with these mountains close to Khorasan, and they know almost nothing further."
"Well. If you can't recruit people who are familiar with the terrain, you won't send troops. You will lead your troops back to Anxi and hand over Khurashan to you." Li Gong said with some excitement.
"I wish your highness to recruit such people." Kussan Sassan thought of the opposite opinion, but said.
"I also hope to recruit. Sassanida, let me ask you a question. If you can recruit, would you be willing to send troops with your own troops?" Li Gong said as if he was chatting casually.
‘Of course I don’t want to. I don’t want to fight anymore.’ Kussan Sasan thought in his heart. Although if Bingbosilin launches a counterattack, the land he governs will definitely be the first to bear the brunt of, he still does not want to continue to fight. The most important thing for him now is to restore his rule in Khorasan, and nothing else is important.
"I am willing to send troops with Your Highness." But he said this.
'Anyway, Li Gong will definitely not be able to recruit suitable people within one month, so I would not have any consequences if I comfort him verbally.'
"What a loyal minister." Hearing this, Li Gong smiled, first praised, and then said: "Just just now, a man claimed to be familiar with the terrain of northeastern Persia and took the initiative to surrender to our army."
"Your Highness, you need to interrogate this person strictly." A bad feeling emerged in Kussan Sassan's heart, but he still said: "How long has your highness been talking about this matter with me? Someone has applied for the recruitment in such a short time. This matter is very strange. It is very likely that the spy of the Great Food discovered this matter and sent someone to apply for the recruitment."
"You said that, so Gu interrogated him. But the result of the interrogation was that he felt that this person was trustworthy." Speaking of this, Li Gong suddenly raised his voice and said, "Transfer Hashem!"
‘Hashim? This name sounds like a person who believes in the Tianfang Sect. Is there really anyone who is familiar with the terrain of northeastern Persia to recruit?’
Kuss Sassan was thinking that the man named Hashem had already pushed open the door and walked in. He glanced at him, but there was no reaction. He just saluted Li Gong and Liu Qi and said, "I have seen Your Highness, and my subordinates have met the Lieutenant."
But Kuth Old Sassanne immediately grew up in surprise and couldn't help but scream: "Hashim, it's you, you surrendered!"
He was so surprised. Kuss Sassanthes used to pretend that the Tianfang Cultists were hiding in the Great Food Army, and his identity had reached the commander of the Thousand Masters. Of course, he knew Hashem, who was also the commander of the Thousand Masters. Just now, he just didn't expect this colleague because there were too many people in the Great Food Army named Hashem, and he didn't expect this colleague.
But he was surprised because he recognized the person. In his impression, Hashem was a fanatical believer of the Tianfang Cult and was very hostile to pagans who did not believe in the Tianfang Cult. How could he suddenly turn to Anxi, who no one believed in the Tianfang Cult from top to bottom?
"Apart from a very small number of real madmen, the more crazy a normal person is, the more he is actually covering up something." Just now, what Kussan's old Sassan blurted out was Khorasan's local dialect, which Hashem could understand and responded in a faint way.
"What do you mean is that you don't believe in the Tianfang Sect at all, and you are disguising it?" Kuss Sassan was even more surprised. It would be fine if there was one disguiser in the army, but there was another one?
"No, I believe in Tianfang Sect, and I really believe in it; but when I turn to Anxi, I will really believe in Taoism again." Hashem said.
‘How does his beliefs resemble traditional Central Plains people?’
After listening to the translation, Liu Qi couldn't help but think in his heart. The traditional people of the Central Plains only believe in this religion by only gaining benefits from a certain religion, whether material or spiritual. If they cannot obtain benefits, they will not continue to believe in it.
‘Didn’t it mean that Westerners are all hard-working believers in the Monotheistic Church? Why is there more than one alternative? It’s okay if Kuss Sassan, who has the glory of his ancestors, has the support of his ancestors; why doesn’t this person really believe?’
Liu Qi didn't know that in the early days, both the organizational form of the country and the general consciousness of the people were highly similar. Orientals believed in Buddhism, Taoism, and Westerners also believed in polytheism.
Jesus was born around the first year of the dynasty, and began to preach when he grew up. However, it was not until Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 AD that the religion of Jesus became the most important religion in Rome, and it took more than 200 years. Later, under the influence of the Monotheistic religion, the thinking of people in the East and the West became very different.
Now the Tianfang Cult has only been invented for about 150 years. Although it has developed faster than the Ye Cult with the support of the regime, Khorasan and the northeastern Persia have been ruled by the Great Food Kingdom for less than a hundred years, and their thinking has not changed completely, so there are not many people like Kussel Sassan and Hashem.
