Li An heard that Abbas was seriously ill and was about to hang up soon. I was so happy in my heart! This formidable generation of formidable person is about to die soon, which is definitely good news.

For the situation inside Abbasid Caliphate, Li An knows a little bit. He knows that after Abbas ’s death, there will be a conflict between Abbas ’s younger brother Mansour and Abbas ’s uncle Abdullah, and even evolved into a life-and-death struggle. In the end, Mansour defeated his political enemy, his uncle Abdullah, and became the second caliphate of the Abbas dynasty with the help of the number one fierce Abu ***.

The process of the struggle must be very cruel. In this case, if the Great Tang force represented by Li An intervenes in the internal struggle of Abbasid Caliphate, will it cause a different ending from history?

Regardless of the direction in which history will eventually develop, Li An has made up his mind to intervene in the internal struggles of Abbasid Caliphate and complicate their internal struggles, thereby weakening the overall strength of the empire. If it can be disintegrated, then Better.

Mansour inherited the cruelty of his big brother Abbas. He is a bad guy with a lot of means, and he has the support of the number one tycoon Abu ***, which is naturally the dominant party in the fight, and Li An To intervene in Abbasid Caliphate’s internal struggles, it is necessary to support the weak Abdullah side.

Of course, in order to prevent Mansour and Abdullah ’s mutual exclusion, Li An must be very cautious on the issue of Aden City. If the two-person partnership is against Great Tang, it is not good, although Great Tang is a horse Being able to defeat them, but this is morally criticized, it is better to let them fight for themselves.

“Abbas is seriously ill and is estimated to pass away soon. Now, within Abbasid Caliphate, the merits of Mansour and Abdullah are similar. Only two of them are qualified to inherit the position of the caliphate. It seems that, Mansour ’s hair is more rational, after all, he is the younger brother of Abbas. “

A Great Tang official said.

Li An nodded and said: “You are right, Mansour is indeed the most qualified to inherit the position of the caliphate. However, This Official heard that his uncle Abdullah has always coveted the position of the caliphate. It will not be so easy to succumb, and it may be on the road to power struggle. “

“If Abbasid Caliphate is in a power struggle, it will be very beneficial for us to capture Aden City.”

A military commander said excitedly that he could have a chance to make a contribution, but who could not be excited?

Li An shook his head and said: “No, we can’t be so direct. If we forcibly capture Aden City, it will inevitably arouse all the senior executives of Abbasid Caliphate, when the time comes, they may unite against us in unity, that’s bad, We should wait for the opportunity. After Mansour and Abdullah broke up, Abdullah is in a weak position. We will shoot again, and the effect will be better. “

Li An has already figured out the specific situation. Abdullah is in a weak position. It seems that he is about to lose his life. The Great Tang represented by Li An suddenly sticks out an olive branch and very kindly makes some small requests. For example, ceding this small piece of land in Aden City, Abdullah has no reason to refuse, and is likely to agree to the request of Great Tang in order to return in a swirl of dust.

As a result, it will be lively, Mansour and Abdullah will become the 2 big powers in this area, the remnant forces of white clothed Aab Caliphate are still there, each small faction also has its own armed forces, and opposes Abbasid Caliphate and white clothed Aab Caliphate, when the time comes is not easy to beat into a pot of porridge, just like in later generations, the entire Arab World has become a pot of porridge.

“Minister Li, then when do we have to wait! We will have the ambition for Aden City, and when Abbas will die, we are still not sure, we have to wait for their infighting, it has to wait until time that will never come!”

A military commander was anxious to make merits and said.

What the subordinates said also makes sense. Abbas suddenly became seriously ill and was 2 or 3 years earlier than the actual history. As for the power struggle between Mansur and Abdullah, will it be a big arc ahead? This Li An is really not sure. 10000. They are not in a hurry to make conflicts. Do they have to wait forever?

After thinking for a while, Li An opened the mouth and said: “It ’s not wrong to wait a moment. At least you have to find enough reason to occupy Aden City. I am a great teacher of righteousness and I can never occupy it casually. In a city, step by step is enough. Even if you do n’t wait for Abbasid Caliphate to fight, at least, Shia Sect and many other factions have begun to resist Abbasid Caliphate. The white clothed Aab Caliphate ’s withdrawal expedition is also near Aden. These are all It can create a reason for us to occupy Aden City, we just need to wait for the best time. “

Li An’s decision has been recognized by everyone. First understand the situation of Abbasid Caliphate, and then make corresponding preparations. This is the best way and more secure.

Because there is no rush to seize the city of Aden, there is no need to march quickly, and because of the importance of Anzhu City, Li An left a military force, while also leaving a lot of logistics ships and a small number of combat ships So, this time to go to Aden city’s main fleet, is the smallest one.

All the ships add up, it is estimated that there are only seventy-eighty ships, which is less than half of Li An ’s departure. However, these ships are almost all the essence and are advanced steam ships, and some of the logistics ships rely on manpower and sail power. , Then all stayed in Anzhu City, when something is needed, just order the transportation directly, anyway, it is not too far from Anzhu City to Aden City.

There are only 20 steam gun ships at this time, but this power is already strong enough to resist all the threats of this era. In addition to an integrated regular army, there are various guards and horses and special arms, with a total strength of 5,000. -About 6,000 people, the strength is still very strong, plus officials and logistics, the total population is more than 10000 people, an average of more than 100 people per ship.

The soldiers of the advance ship returned to the advance ship immediately after reporting their work and accelerated back to Aden City, while Li An ’s main fleet was walking slowly, admiring the beautiful view of the sea while traveling.

The current travel speed is the best travel speed of the steam gunboat. Too fast and too slow will consume too much energy. Only the best slow travel will consume the least energy. Since you are not in a hurry to reach Aden City, of course It’s time to use the best speed.

Not far northeast of Aden City, Abbasid Caliphate ’s famous general Ziyad fell into anxiety. He was very confident in his elite soldiers, although a few 10 li on the west side was white clothed Aab Caliphate ’s elite expedition Legion , But he is fully confident of defeating the returning elite soldiers, because the soldiers under his command are more elite, equipment and morale are better than the expeditionary soldiers of white clothed Aab Caliphate, and his command ability is not Weak, simply not afraid of each other’s Legion.

But now, Abbasid Caliphate ’s founding monarch Abbas is seriously ill, and the news returned to the church shows that Abbas ’s younger brother Mansour and Abbas ’s Uncle Abdullah suddenly began to have big conflicts. open strife and veiled struggle, which directly led to the improper operation of the entire Imperial Court, and the transfer of the military pay and grain to him began to be delayed. If the situation continues to deteriorate, maybe he and the Armed Forces under his command will not get the military pay. .

As a generation of famous generals, Ziyad knew very well what kind of terrifying things would happen if an army could not receive military pay, so he would naturally be worried.

Ottoman Legion of white clothed Aab Caliphate did n’t scare him. He was never in the eyes of the defenders of Aden City, but the turmoil in the Imperial Court made him uneasy.

In the eyes of pride Ziyad, like Aden City and white clothed Aab Caliphate remnant forces, and various sect rebellion against these goods, simply can not shake the great Abbasid Caliphate regime, the only thing that can shake the empire is the internal turmoil, if Abbasid Caliphate There was a split within, and all their previous efforts were in vain.

Although Ziyad was somewhat distressed and hated Mansour and Abdullah ’s infighting, he was only a general under Abu ***. Although he belonged to the high level, he was not in the core class, that is to say, he simply has no ability to stop all this, whether Abbasid Caliphate’s ruling class is fighting inside, he as a squadron simply is helpless.

“General, I am back.”

A subordinate wearing an ordinary person costume walked into the military account.

Ziyad looked up at his men and asked weakly, “What did he say about the old slippery Altick?”

“General, this Old Guy said that the Ottoman horses are in Northwest, which is a huge threat to the city of Aden. If the generals can level the soldiers and horses under Ottoman, they will open the city gates and welcome the generals to the city. If the general ca n’t destroy Ottoman, it ’s because he has no ability to protect Aden. Then they will have to recruit troops to protect themselves. ”

Reported truthfully.

Ziyad smashed the table heavily and said angrily: “This damn old slipper will kill him sooner or later.”

Of course, Ziyad knew that this was a pretext. The soldiers and horses under Ottoman’s army came earlier than he came. This army, which has also stood the battlefield, traveled all the way to Frank. Although the final battle was defeated, the main soldiers and horses did not Suffering too much loss is still a daunting and elite force. In the vicinity, relying on the terrain, a very stable defensive camp has been established.

Although the soldiers and horses under Ziyard are quite elite, they are mainly heavy cavalry. Such elite soldiers and horses have a great advantage in the field battle, but there is not much advantage in attacking the city and attacking the stronghold.

As a famous general, Ziyad will naturally send scouts to spy on the truth and truth of the Ottoman Armed Forces and understand the deployment of the Ottoman camp very clearly. Based on what he knows, the defense of the Ottoman camp is very strict and simply does not It is suitable for attack, even if all the soldiers and horses under his command are dispatched, it is impossible to break the Ottoman camp. Of course, if the Ottoman Armed Forces came over and attacked, it was also impossible to defeat his defensive deployment. The two sides were in a state of confrontation.

According to Ziyad, to destroy the Ottoman Legion in the west, at least 5 times the number of soldiers and horses are needed. Moreover, they cannot attack, and they must launch a siege battle from different directions to cut off the food supply of Ottoman Legion. Only in this way can Ottoman finally defeat Legion is quite difficult.

As the city’s Altik, impossible does not understand this. In this way, such a request is to clarify the difficulties and do not want to follow the great Abbas dynasty.

Although he was very angry and wanted to kill Artik, the soldiers and horses under Ziyad ’s command could not easily capture the solid city, and might even suffer large casualties or even lose ground. Therefore, he could not easily take risks. The soldiers and horses under his command should not be sent to death in vain.

His greatest hope is that Imperial Court can send reinforcements to arrive, so that they can use greater strength to eliminate Ottoman in the west, and by the way eliminate the ignorant of the current affairs of Aden City. Unfortunately, his request for reinforcements is not at all approved. .

His boss, Abu, *** refused to continue to send soldiers and horses to Ziyad. The reason is also very clear. The situation in Khorasan is still uncertain. He needs to leave more soldiers and horses to stabilize the situation in Khorasan, and Firmly support Mansour, there is no extra soldiers to support Ziyad, let Ziyad endure for some time first.

Ziyad was very disappointed, but Abu *** was his head boss. He had to obey his boss ’orders and was helplessly stationed in the northeast direction of Aden City. Moreover, at present, he can only passively defend and succumb. Very good.

“Lieutenant General, you are in charge of camping, I will call Roshan back.”

Ziyad felt that Ottoman had no guts to attack him, and those guys in Aden City were even less afraid to attack, so that commander Armed Forces, an experienced deputy general, was very at ease.

“General, go back without an order. Isn’t this a bit bad? If 10000 is killed by an enemy …”

The lieutenant said with concern.

As a lieutenant general, in this case, it is certain to dissuade Ziyad. This is his job, and he is responsible for doing so.

“Shut up! My lieutenant general.”

Ziad ’s mood was a bit bad, looked towards his lieutenant general, and sighed: “Hu Luoshan is out of something. I have to go back. The enemy does n’t have the courage to dare to fight, and you have n’t fought. Can’t it deal with it? “

“Oh, okay! Your excellency, I see, you bring more guards.”

The lieutenant said.

Chiad nodded and said: “100 personal soldiers, 200 horses are enough, I will leave immediately, good luck, my lieutenant.”

After a brief preparation, Abbasid Caliphate’s famous general Ziyad led 100 soldiers under his command, each bringing an additional horse for replacement and consignment, and quickly traveled to the Khorasan area.
