Chapter 576 Coming to Tehran
"Your Highness, it's about a quarter of an day before dark." Hashem came to Li Gong.
"Order the soldiers to camp." Li Gong ordered. The temperature difference between day and night in the local area is very large, and the temperature will drop rapidly after the sunlight disappears. In addition, it is winter. If the camp is not set up at dawn, the soldiers' hands will be frozen.
"Yes." Hashem and the four guards agreed and rushed to pass on the cross. Because the troops on the expedition were composed of five parts (there were individual parts under Hashem's command) and their languages were different, so Li Gong had five guards around him responsible for passing on his commands to each part.
Because Hashem was beside him when the order was issued, there was no need for the guards to go there, so there were only four guards responsible for the Anxi Army, the Nine Clan Army of Zhaowu, the Sassanian Army, and the Great Food Slaves who were ordered to ride over.
The tent was soon completed. Although it was very cold at night, it was actually not warm during the day. Today, the wind blew again. When the march, the cold wind whizzed to the cuffs and the collar. When I heard the order to set up camp, I immediately stopped and set up the camp as quickly as possible.
"I feel that the soldiers are much more relaxed than the previous two days." Looking at the smoke from the fire-tou military camp and looking at the soldiers walking into the tent while joking, Li Gong said to Liu Qi who was walking towards him.
"This is natural." Liu Qi responded with a smile: "The army has crossed Semnan, only more than 200 miles away from Tehran or Kum. It has also walked out of the mountainous areas of northeastern Persia, where the most mountains and most easily ambushed, whether our own soldiers or others, they all feel that they will win the battle in the future, and there is no need to be guarded against enemy soldiers at all times, so of course it will become easier."
It was the 20th day of the 12th month of the Tang Dynasty. More than a month ago, the army set off from Mulu and rushed towards Isfahan and entered the mountainous area of northeastern Persia.
After entering the mountainous area, even if someone knew the local terrain well, the soldiers were still very cautious. They saw a forest of only a few hundred trees and did not dare to approach it, for fear of ambushes inside.
But the cautiousness of the soldiers was not useless. Bingbosilin obviously would not have received any news of Anxi sending troops, nor would he allow the Anxi army to easily cross the mountains in northeastern Persia.
He kept issuing orders to local officials, generals or local tyrants who were still loyal to the Great Food Kingdom, and sent thousands of soldiers to join them to block the Anxi Army.
However, because of the prudence of the Anxi Army and because they received support from many locals, they passed through the northeastern Persia without any danger, they caused huge losses to the Great Food Army, eliminated and surrendered many local tyrants. The troops sent by Bosilin were also wiped out more than 2,000 people, and more people were injured and fled.
After walking out of the last mountain in northeastern Persia, some soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
Before the expedition, the topic of debate between Li Gong, Liu Qi, Kussal Sassan, and the generals was known by Liu Qi's intentional or unintentional indulgence, so everyone thought that the most difficult part of this battle was how to pass through the mountainous areas in northeastern Persia.
Since we had passed here, and many soldiers sent by Bingbo Silin also suffered casualties, the battle should be easily won as if it was destroyed. When we thought of this, some soldiers couldn't help but shout.
And the shouts of these people were shouting happily, and soon, cheers resounded throughout the land, and echoes came from the peaks.
Afterwards, the army continued to move west under the leadership of Hashem, and crossed Semnan Province with today and entered Tehran Province.
"That's right." Hearing Liu Qi's words, Li Gong responded with a smile: "I have walked the most difficult part of the road, and it's time for the soldiers to relax."
"Your Highness, the supper is ready, but you want to send it here?" He continued, but at this time a guard suddenly came over and saluted.
"You go and get two copies. By the way, you instruct the guards who do not need to be on duty at this time to go to have a meal."
"Yes." The guard agreed and turned around to pass the order.
"Your Highness, what do you think Dimash is the guard?" Liu Qi glanced at his back and said to Li Gong.
"He is not very suitable to be a guard, at least not suitable to be my personal guard." Li Gong said.
He has high requirements for personal bodyguards. On the one hand, martial arts is one's own way. It is also very important to know how to see his own eyes, be able to correctly understand his words and pass the orders to the generals without being wrong.
Dimash's martial arts meet his standards and can also correctly understand commands, but his kung fu is not good at looking at the eyes and cannot fully meet his requirements.
"Even if it doesn't work, don't drive him out of the guards. At worst, you can really let him do a marquis." Liu Qi said.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I don't dare." Liu Qi hurriedly saluted: "I just think that although Dimash does not fully meet His Highness's request for his personal bodyguard, he will not be able to do a charity. Moreover, his name is to be a charity, but he is just a re-doing of his position."
"You don't have to be so nervous, I'm joking with you." Li Gong smiled and said before saying, "Of course I won't drive him out of the guards.
But this has nothing to do with Dan Niang. Dan Niang used singing to boost morale in the past, which played a role in our army defeating the Dashi Army. But she, a little girl, grew up and was not good at being in the army. After this battle, she should go home. After that, her brother chose a good man to marry and take care of her husband and children. Of course, I will give her a share of money and a woman's title as a dowry.
The reason why I won’t drive Dimarsh out is because of the contributions he made in the past. He held the Jieshan Governor’s Mansion under the command of Li Guoyi for nearly two years, and later made contributions. Of course, I will not treat the meritorious ministers unfairly."
‘Dania was still singing in the army at this time to boost morale. She was a mixed blood of Turkic and Fufeng people. She looked similar to the cannibalism. She was born in Anxi Suiye City and spoke fluent Chinese language. She was even more pitiful and her singing was very touching and could penetrate cultural barriers. She could almost be said to be a binder for various parts of the army. Few people could compare to the contributions they made to defeat the big cannibalism.
But even so, before the battle was over, Your Highness was already thinking about the rules and being polite. Liu Qi couldn't help but think in his heart.
"What Your Highness said makes sense." But he didn't dare to say it straightforwardly; he wanted to argue for Dania, but the topic of the words just now was whether to leave Dimarsh among the guards. He could only respond.
"Okay, let's not talk about the Dimash brother and sister." Li Gong ended the topic and asked Liu Qi: "Now we have entered the Tehran Province, the country of great food. Should we attack Tehran City, or turn to the southwest and attack Kum?"
