The surrender of the 15,000-strong Shih Army gave Zhao Ziliang the power to attack the city, but he knew that this army was not very obedient.
Not only were there many soldiers at the bottom of this army who were unwilling to serve the Western Qin, even if Several of these people at the general level did not really surrender.
Their purpose of surrender was simply to save their lives, or some of them endured the humiliation and looked for opportunities to counterattack.
Zhao Ziliang doesn't care about the purpose of these people's surrender, as long as they are willing to attack the city for him.
As long as these people still have something to be afraid of and something to worry about, he can instruct and control them.
Zhao Ziliang said to the generals of the Dashi Army: "Since you have surrendered to our Western Qin, I hope that you can lead Schneider in the future and make contributions to our Western Qin.
In our Western Qin, although most of them are Tang people, there are also many small ethnic groups.
The Han people and these many small ethnic groups together constitute the entire people of Western Qin today.
We have never despised or discriminated against them.
In this country, In the king's army, soldiers from small ethnic groups account for almost 30%.
Many of them have been promoted to officers and generals due to their military exploits, and some have even been granted titles and titles.
They are all willing to open up territory for our Western Qin.
Although my subordinates cannot guarantee absolute fairness and justice, they will definitely reward those who have merit and punish those who have made mistakes.
As long as you regard yourself as a Western Qin person, we will treat you as a family member."
"There is one thing that I need to explain to you here.
No matter whether you believed in certain sects before or not, I hope that from now on, you will forget all these things.
From now on, any sect has nothing to do with you.
Because no sect members are allowed to exist in the army of Western Qin, if you have ever believed in some kind of If you belong to a sect, you must immediately report to the supervisory army and state your experience.
Do not hide anything during the presentation.
They will send people to investigate.
Those who deliberately conceal will be severely punished and will not be able to interact with anyone in the sect in the future.
You are not allowed to do this secretly.
Once discovered, you will be arrested immediately and severely punished.
Do you all hear me clearly?"
At this time, a general of the Dashi servant army stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't understand why you have such a strange rule.
In the country of Dashi, anyone needs to believe in Allah.
If you don't believe in it, you will be punished.
And I heard In Western Qin, ordinary civilians are not prohibited from having religious sects, so why can’t they be allowed in the army?”
Zhao Ziliang said with a cold face: "Because the army only belongs to me, it is only loyal to me and the entire Western Qin Kingdom.
It is the sword and shield of Western Qin.
It must be pure.
It does not need and cannot be mixed with other things. " The servant general's face turned red and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, what you are doing is wrong.
I need faith.
This is my freedom.
You cannot deprive me of my freedom of faith."
Zhao Ziliang suddenly calmed down, looked at the other generals of the servant army and asked: "Is there anyone else who needs freedom of belief?
Please stand up and tell me loudly."
The generals of the servant army all looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
Schneider hurriedly stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, they can all give up their previous beliefs.
I believe they can do it.
Please give them some time" "Nonsense!"
Two more generals of the servant army stood up and pointed at Schneider and yelled.
One of them even yelled at Schneider: "Schneider, I admired you a little.
You endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden for everyone to survive, but you...
This time I was disappointed.

As a cannibal, you can lose anything and want nothing, but you cannot lose your faith in Allah.
You are not worthy of being a cannibal."
Schneider was so angry that he pointed at this person and was speechless for a long time.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Very good, it seems that you are all people who want to maintain your previous beliefs and can do whatever it takes.
Since you need the freedom of belief, I will help you and give you a relief.
Someone, please Pull them out and let them serve their God."
"You are cruel to the believers and people of Allah.
Allah will punish you and you will die a bad death."
A general of the servant army who was dragged away shouted.
One of the servant generals who was dragged away opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted: "You devil, I will curse your descendants to be exterminated at the cost of my whole life, and curse your kingdom soon after your death." will perish” After shouting this sentence, Zhao Ziliang only felt an invisible and intangible black mist-like force shrouding him.
This was an abnormal power curse that was absolutely different from any spiritual power.
"Be bold, break it for me!"
As Zhao Ziliang roared, a powerful and unparalleled spiritual power emitted from the center of his eyebrows, instantly dispersing the black mist.
There was a loud "boom", and Zhao Ziliang slapped the desk with his palm, smashing the entire desk to pieces.
He stood up and was furious: "How dare you use evil magic to murder this king?
Someone, come and destroy this The three of them will be cut into pieces, otherwise the hatred in my heart will not be relieved."
"Yes, Your Majesty" In order to carry out the punishment of being cut into pieces, sufficient preparations must be made, so these three people were temporarily imprisoned and kept under strict supervision.
The guards quickly went into the tent to clean up, and then brought a desk.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Schneider and the other generals of the servant army with a livid face, and said coldly: "The person who used the curse technique to deal with me just now What's it called?"
All the generals of the servant army were trembling with fear.
Schneider touched the sweat on his forehead and stood up to salute: "Your Majesty, his name is Fahande.
We didn't know that he could do this kind of evil.
He almost killed us."
Your Majesty, it’s all our fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked: "How many people like him are there in the Big Food Country?"
Schneider said: "Your Majesty, this strange power in our big food country is called the power of God.
Not everyone is qualified to possess it.
Only those who are favored and favored by Allah have the power of God.
Such people are extremely They are rare, and they are all leaders and elders of various factions, top guards in the palace, generals in the army, etc., but there are also ascetic cultivators who are outside the officialdom.
People who possess evil arts such as curses have always been suppressed by orthodox sects.
They either hide among the crowd, or practice in inaccessible places away from the crowd.
This Fahande is obviously hiding in the army.
Among those in the sect, the art of cursing is not only found in our country of food, but also in the West.
People who possess this kind of evil art are collectively called wizards."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, thought for a while and asked: "I heard that there is a heretical sect in the Dashi Kingdom that specializes in training assassins to engage in assassination activities, assassinating leaders and elders of various factions, and even multiple caliphs have been assassinated by you.
Do you know this sect?”
"What is an assassin?"
Schneider was confused.
"Your Majesty is talking about assassins, right?
There are indeed several heretical sects in the Dashi Kingdom with assassins, but they have been attacked by the two caliphs.
It is not a climate.
Others call such assassinations The person is Hashasshin, and they call themselves the guerrilla death squads."
After listening to Schneider's words, Zhao Ziliang realized that the notorious Hashashin Assassin Group in the Middle Ages was only in its infancy at this time and had not yet officially formed an assassin group.
At this time, it was just a short distance from the "Old Man of the Mountain", the first leader of the Hashashin Assassin Group.
"Hassan was born more than two hundred years ago.

In this era, neither Central Asia nor the Western world has the word assassin, and in the Central Plains, there have long been biographies of assassins.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and ordered: "Wang Canfahande will be handed over to you for interrogation.
Before execution, I hope to dig out some useful things from his mouth.
The existence of this kind of evil magic is too harmful to the world.
It is necessary to have this kind of magic."
Those who engage in sorcery will be destroyed.”
Wang Can promised: "I will obey my orders."
At this time, a school captain walked in hurriedly, cupped his fists and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, the man named Fahande died suddenly inside the fence where he was imprisoned."
"What?"
Zhao Ziliang looked shocked, "How did he die?"
The captain said: "My subordinates don't know that he started to bleed from all his orifices not long after he was put in the wooden cage, and he died soon.
No one touched him during this time."
"Let's go and have a look."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and immediately stood up and walked out.
Other generals, officials and servant generals followed him out of the tent.
Everyone came to an open space in the middle of the camp.
There were three wooden cages in this open space.
Three former servant generals who were waiting to be sentenced to death were locked in one of the cages, and Fahande's body was leaning against it.
On the wooden cage, his face was half covered by the black blood flowing out of his seven orifices, making him almost unrecognizable.
The death of this man was extremely miserable, and everyone who saw the body could not help but shudder.
The other two were imprisoned.
The general of the servant army in the cage had long been frightened.
Zhao Ziliang held the handle of the knife and walked around in front of the wooden cage containing the corpse, observing Fahande's body.
After the medical officer passed the examination, he reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, I have tested this black blood and it is non-toxic.
There are no wounds on his body.
I really can’t find out the cause of his death.
Please punish me.”
"Forget it, the cause of this person's death is probably beyond your ability.
I forgive you, please step back first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang turned to look at everyone behind him and asked: "There are no scars on this man's body, and the darkness flowing out of his seven orifices is not poisonous, but he died suddenly like this.
Don't you think it's strange and a little scary?"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling sad.
This kind of thing was so weird.
Schneider hesitated for a moment and stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, did you break his curse just now?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Not bad, do you think his death is related to this?"
