Chapter 578 How Many Guards Are There?
"Did Your Highness know that there is a very famous tomb near Coom City: the tomb of Fatuma?" Hashem asked back.
"Fatumai's tomb? Who is Fatumai? What's the point of his tomb?" Li Gong was puzzled.
"Hashim, this Fatuma refers to the daughter of Muhammad, the founder of Tianfang Sect?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment and said.
“That’s right.”
"Liu Qi, what's so special about this person?" Li Gong asked Liu Qi. Even if Alpha Tumai was Muhammad's daughter, he would not be famous for his tombs. Who would care about the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, except for his direct descendants?
"Your Highness, also known as Fatima, has three special features. First, she is Muhammad's youngest daughter, married Muhammad's cousin, and is also his important assistant and follower, Ali Ben Abi Talib.
Because Muhammad had no son and did not clearly designate who was the supreme leader of the Tianfang Cult before his death, a dispute broke out within. Later, because one of them retreated voluntarily, the issue of heirs was temporarily resolved. Four caliphs were successively produced through the method of recommendation, namely the supreme leader of the Tianfang Cult. Ali Ben Abi Talib was one of them.
Because Ali Ben Abi Talib was once one of the four major caliphs and was also Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, he was considered by many believers of the Tianfang Sect to be the orthodox heir of Muhammad. The husband and wife are one, so Fatuma is also valued.
Secondly, it is because Fatumai has all the virtues of a woman promoted by the Tianfang religion, and Muhammad praised her many times during his lifetime.
Third, she died half a year after Muhammad's death and was considered to have followed the Lord's messenger.
With the above three points, Fatumai is respected by many Tianfang scholars." Liu Qi said at the end.
In fact, he didn't know much about the Tianfang Sect in his previous life, only knowing that everyone knew about those things. After going to war with the Dashi Kingdom in this life, he worked hard to collect a lot of books about the Tianfang Sect. Every time he captured the Dashi general, he would ask some questions about the Tianfang Sect, and then he learned about the many things about the Tianfang Sect.
"So," Hashem continued Liu Qi's words and said: "Many Tianfang scholars regard her tomb as a holy land, and the entire city of Koum has become a holy land of a sect in the Tianfang scholar."
“So what?”
"Your Highness, this means that many Tianfang scholars will ask the people of Bingbo Silin to send troops to recover after hearing that the city of Kum is lost. Bingbo Silin will never dare to ignore the words of these people, so they have to send troops to recover immediately, even if there are not many soldiers in their hands.
In this way, our army took the initiative and could wait for the Dashi Army to hit the city wall and annihilate many Dashi soldiers at a small cost. Then, attacking Isfahan can be said to be in a good way." Liu Qi took Hashem's words again.
"Are the Tianfang Cultist so crazy?" Li Gong was stunned for a moment and said.
"A while ago, in the country of Zhaowu's Nine surname, didn't your highness meet a very crazy Tianfang Cultist?"
"I thought it was out of loyalty to Bingbo Silin. Now I heard your meaning out of madness towards the Tianfang Sect?" Li Gong was even more puzzled. Not to mention seeing it with his own eyes, he had never heard of such a crazy religious believer, whether in the Central Plains or Anxi.
"Your Highness, Tianfang scholars are different from Taoists, Buddhists, and Zoroastrians." Liu Qi said, wanting to continue to explain but he doesn't know where to explain it. If you really want to explain it, but the long and long discussions can't be finished for a while, and it may not be able to explain it clearly.
Fortunately, Li Gong was not interested in understanding why there was such a big difference between the Tianfang scholars and Taoist believers.
"Since that's the case, we should attack Coom City first." He said.
"Tomorrow morning, we will summon all the generals and announce this time." Li Gong said again.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about this matter." Liu Qi said, "We should think carefully about whether there are still things that have not been considered yet. It is not too late to announce to the generals after careful consideration."
"You are so safe." Li Gong said with a smile and asked Hashem: "Do you know other news about Koum or Tehran?"
"This, I can't even think of it for a while." Hashem thought seriously for a while and replied.
"Since that's the case, you go back first today. If you can think of other news, you can tell me at any time." Li Gong said with a smile, letting the man go.
"Liu Qi, do you think there is something wrong with attacking Coom City?" After Hashem left, he suddenly said to Liu Qi again.
"Why did Your Highness ask this?" Liu Qi was a little surprised.
"From what Hashem said, our army should attack Koum City; but you also said that you have made a long-term plan, and obviously think there is something wrong with it."
"Your Highness misunderstood." Liu Qi said with a wry smile: "I don't think there is something wrong with attacking Koum City, but just out of caution.
What's more, you will have to choose a road only when you march in the future. There is still time to think about it, so you don't have to rush to announce it."
"So that's it. It seems that I misunderstood." Li Gong laughed.
"It seems that we will continue to meet Kuss, Sassan and others?" he paused and said again.
"Of course, it should be received."
"Okay, then let's continue to meet." Li Gong followed Liu Qi's advice and called another guard in and asked him to spread the word "Kuss Old Sassan".
"I have seen Your Highness." It took some time for Kuss Sassan to come. After coming in, he bowed to Li Gong, ignored Liu Qi, and just pretended that he hadn't seen it.
"General Sassanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesanthesians still have a bad relationship with Liu Qi, so she could only pretend that they did not exist and said something after hearing this.
"I wonder what important things should I give to you when you call me late at night?" Kuss Sassanne said again. Li Gong and Hashem had been chatting for a long time. Now it was the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, and most of the soldiers in the army had already fallen asleep.
"I summon you to ask you what you think we will do in the future."
"Your Highness is thinking about attacking Tehran or Koum City?"
“It’s true.”
"I will think about this matter if I want to hide it from Your Highness. The result of my thinking is that I should first attack the city of Tehran."
“Why?”
"I believe that this battle should be based on stability and not be greedy for merit and advance. It is a bit risky to attack Koum City, but it is very safe to attack Tehran. I am unwilling to take risks." Kuss Sassanne expressed his views without any obscureness.
He didn't want to fight this battle at first, but Li Gong used means to imprison him and had to lead his troops to participate. But even if he participated, his combat ideas were not to make contributions but to no mistakes.
After hearing what the person in front of him said, Li Gong subconsciously wanted to nod. His thoughts were not exactly the same as those of Kuss-Old Sassan, but he also had to avoid defeat. Fortunately, he reacted in time and did not light his chin.
"You're right. However, I just learned that Coum City is a holy place in the Tianfang Sect. If you attack this city first, you can turn your back on the guest."
"Your Highness, do you know how many guards there are in the city of Kum at this time?"
