In a residential hall, there were three people sitting, and the person sitting at the top was a blond, blue-eyed old man in his early fifties. He was dressed in Tang clothes, but at first glance he was not from Yizhou, but from a foreign land.
This man's name is Arhan, who came from Persia in the west and came from Manichaeism. Alham was a failure in Persian Manichaeism. Because Alhan once competed with the current pope of Persian Manichaeism for the position of leader, but failed in the end.
Although the Pope of the Persian Manichaeism did not get rid of his rival Alham, he arranged Alhan to the Western Regions in order to expand Manichaeism. It is said that he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and that Alhan is capable of opening up a new situation, but in fact he is exiled.
Let Alhan stay away from the Manichaeism in Persia, and then fend for himself in the Western Regions.
Alhan has lived for more than fifty years. He is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and has encountered even more difficult situations, so he was exiled to the Western Regions. Alhan does not think there is anything unacceptable. As long as he is still alive, everything will have a chance.
Not long after Arhan arrived in the Western Regions, he quickly developed followers with his own mouth. Moreover, the believers he developed were not ordinary people, but wealthy businessmen.
Only in this way can Alhan expand.
The two people below are both Arhan's disciples, and both believe in the Manichaean Master.
In Persian Manichaeism, the Supreme God is the Great Father. In the Western Regions, the translation of the great father is Mingzun. Moreover, this Manichaeism was already a Ming religion in later generations, by the end of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Manichaeism went through several ups and downs and finally became Mingjiao, but it was finally annihilated in history.
Alhan glanced at the two disciples under his command, and said: "We just came from Gaochang State, so we don't know much about the situation in Yizhou. What we have learned right now is some news about King Pingxi, the lord of Yizhou. Right now we Do you have any suggestions for preaching in Illinois?"
In the crowd below, the person sitting on the left is about in his early thirties.
It looks like a scribe.
This person's name is Xu Yang. He was born as a businessman, but he likes to read. He believed in Alhan's Manichaeism and became Alhan's right-hand man. Especially Xu Yang had studied, and he existed as a counselor under Alhan's command.
Xu Yang said: "Teacher, my disciples think that we want to preach in Yizhou. The best way is to go directly to Pingxi King Du Qi. This is a wise man who is decisive. When we were in Gaochang Kingdom, we easily persuaded Gaochang Let Gaochang believe in Manichaeism. Du Qi is different, you can't deal with Du Qi, you can only use gentle means to lobby."
Alhan said in a deep voice: "Xu Yang, are you being too alarmist?"
Xu Yang said: "Teacher, I have carefully studied Du Qi's situation. He is a powerful character. He was already famous in the Tang Dynasty at the age of ten, and later made countless military exploits. Now he is in charge of Yizhou, Here, if you want to follow Gaochangguo's line, first establish the prestige of the teacher among the people, and make the teacher a myth, it is almost impossible. Du Qi will definitely not believe in the miracles of Manichaeism. Therefore, the best way , is to lobby Du Qi directly to let him agree to our preaching."
Alhan nodded, looked to the person on his right and asked, "What's your opinion?"
"Teacher, I think it's too complicated."
The person sitting on the right is tall and tall.
This man's name is Banda, and his body is as strong as a hill. Under Arhan's command, Banda was in charge of security.
Banda said: "Teacher, you are the national teacher of Gaochang State, and our Manichaeism is the state religion of Gaochang State. Under this premise, it is actually very simple to preach in Yizhou. You only need to let the Lord of Gaochang send troops to attack Yizhou." The state is enough. When we win Illinois, we will be able to preach freely in Illinois."
"Fool!"
Xu Yang glared at Banda, and scolded: "Gaochang's national strength is not weak, but is Du Qi a simple person? Du Qi's fighting power is extremely tyrannical. Before that, the two thousand Tubo cavalry were easily wiped out by Du Qi Can the national power of Gaochang Kingdom easily destroy two thousand Tubo cavalry? Impossible."
After a pause, Xu Yang continued: "Especially Du Qi is backed by Datang. Attacking Du Qi is tantamount to making an enemy of Datang. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot adopt a strategy of strong attack."
When Alhan heard Banda's words, he selectively ignored them. It was even more difficult to get Banda to come out of his mind than the sun coming out from the west.
However, Alhan thinks that Xu Yang's suggestion may not be successful. Because Du Qi is not a person like the Lord of Gaochang, the Lord of Gaochang has a weak temper, and his mind is not firm, Alhan is easy to fool.
Seeing that Alhan didn't order, Xu Yang??, knowing my own idea, it must not have been approved. As Arhan's counselor, as Alhan's most intimate assistant, he can't allow others to help his teacher.
Xu Yang quickly used his brain.
Suddenly, Xu Yangji came to his mind and said, "Teacher, I have a solution."
On Alhan's gentle face, there was a smile of approval and relief, and he said, "What are your plans?"
Xu Yang said: "Teacher, if we want to leave Du Qi, it will not be easy to succeed here. But Du Qi has a woman. By Du Qi's side are the princess Li Yanyun and the side concubine Qianxue. These are Du Qi's confidante."
"Besides, they've been working outside."
"If we can make a breakthrough from these two people and make them believe in our Manichaeism. Then the two will definitely affect Du Qi, especially Du Qi loves two women, Ai Wu and Wu, and will definitely not stop them."
"If Li Yanyun and Qianxue decide to believe in religion and decide to build a temple, it is even more impossible for Du Qi to stop it. As long as our Manichaeism temple is established in Yiwu County."
Xu Yang smiled and said: "Then the follow-up will be easy. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning."
Alhan said: "That's right, that's right, Xu Yang, I really didn't misunderstand you as a teacher."
Xu Yang respectfully said: "Teacher is absurd."
In Xu Yang's heart, he is a true believer in religion, because he once fell into obsession. Because when Xu Yang was in Gaochang, his parents died early, his wife and children died of illness, and he was the only one left in the family. He thought it was him who killed his parents, wife and children. Saved him, made him no longer sink, and had a direction in life.
Alhan said: "Since we have the direction, we will immediately inquire about the whereabouts of Li Yanyun and Qianxue. I will go and meet them."
Xu Yang said with a smile: "Teacher, the whereabouts of the two are public. Li Yanyun is in charge of the briquette shop in Yiwu County now. The two of them are in the shop all day long and are in charge of the shop."
Alhan said: "Let's go around."
Xu Yang said: "The disciple will go with you."
Alhan shook his head and said, "You don't have to go, you all stay at home."
"yes!"
Xu Yang and Banda Qiqi answered.
Alhan changed his clothes, put on the down jacket that is popular in the Western Regions now, and covered it with a big cloak, and strode towards the briquette shop. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
