Chapter 1332 Goodwill is mutual

In fact, Governor Faisal's luck was quite good. At least he saved his life. Although his position was not saved, he was still working in his original position. As long as he made great achievements in the future, this position would still be his.

Compared with those who died, this guy is already quite lucky. You have completed an errand so that you people are not confiscated and executed. This is the greatest mercy of His Highness the Prince.

In the next period of time, Governor Faisal did not dare to relax at all, and immediately mobilized all his forces. He must investigate where the main force of the Tang army was stationed. The Arab Empire's army had already arrived. Now, it’s impossible to stay in Samarkand forever.

If they are allowed to stay here all the time, the surrounding people will not be able to stand these people. There is no discipline and control. Although the military camp will distribute some food and drink to them, these people are still willing to go out and rob.

Shule

After several days of rapid march, the Tang army had arrived here, but King Shule left an empty city behind.

"It seems that this old guy heard the news. We sent him three thousand soldiers and asked his two princes to go to Chang'an City, but this old guy pretended that he had not heard and did not reply to us at all. , I really thought he was getting bolder, but now I know what happened, all the people left, and the whole city became an empty city."

General Molun searched the inside and outside several times, but did not find any living person. There were originally more than 300 Han businessmen in the city, but now they have all been killed. It seems that they were also sitting when they left. A murder was committed.

"Find someone to settle these businessmen. We did not issue a warning in advance. If we had issued a warning in advance, it might not be like this."

When Cheng Chuliang saw these corpses, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, these are our compatriots. They responded to the court's call and came here to do business. In the end, this was the result.

"How far is it from here to the city of Samarkhan?"

When the people below were working, they found a place relatively leeward. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have a chance to talk. The sand coming from all directions can make your mouth very uncomfortable. Fighting in such a place is indeed quite difficult. It's not easy.

Although there are many places with rich water and grass in the entire Western Region, if you go that way, the movements of the army will inevitably be leaked. No matter which road we take, the enemy may know everything about it. If they were ambushed, they would be in real trouble. The speed of the Arab cavalry was no joke.

Therefore, in order to ensure our safety, we can only take a road that others have not thought of. If we can reach the city of Samarkand directly without encountering any enemies in the middle, then our trip will have been half successful.

"It still has to be at least 2,600 miles away. There are no easy roads along the way, but our speed is acceptable. We can get there in a month at most."

General Molun made some calculations. After all, he was also a person from the Western Regions. He had been to the city of Samarkand in the early years, but it was not the territory of the Arab Empire at that time. At that time, this place was still in the city-state system, but when the Arab Empire After the people came, this place became theirs.

In fact, General Molun understood that no matter whether it was Gaochang or the Western Regions, the countries had no resistance at all when facing the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, so they could only find one of them to submit to, and this was their life.

Whether you are willing or not, this world has already defined strong and weak countries. If you want to fight, you may not be able to fight in a short time. So you can only accept your fate. Now you don’t even have a chance to fight. The entire Western Region is under the competition between the two empires, and there is no other way but the team.

King Shule must have finished taking sides. If the things she had done before were found out by the Tang Dynasty court, this guy's whole family would probably die. So before the Tang army came, he had already taken Neng away. All were taken away.

"I hope this guy has good luck, but according to our understanding of the Arab Empire's army, even if he takes the whole city with him, there will be no good results in the end. In the eyes of the Arab Empire, these people Here, they are nothing but heathens."

There are not many people who believe in Zhenzhen, especially in this land. Maybe some people under King Shule believe in it, but there are many people who don’t believe in it. If they are regarded as heretics, then there is no problem. Happy.

"I have given the order to the army to camp here and rest for two days. We will move forward after the storm has passed. If we advance against the storm, the losses to us will be too great. There is no need to do this."

Cheng Chuliang issued a new order. Although they were eager to find the Arab Empire's army, they had to pay attention to methods. If they marched through the storm, they would lose countless horses and camels along the way, so they might as well be safe. Take a rest and recuperate your energy before moving forward. You will walk three times more on a sunny day than you would in this kind of weather.

While they were waiting for the news, Tan Ma from the army also came back. The surrounding cities were the same as before. Except for King Shule, the other countries were all staying in their own royal cities. Their stipulated army has also arrived.

In addition, the quartermaster also came to report, and all kinds of materials purchased by them and several surrounding countries were also delivered. This can be regarded as a stimulus to the economy of various places. According to Cheng Chumo, the price Both are ten percent higher than usual.

Now we not only need to use force, but we also need to let them see certain benefits. People from the Arab Empire come here just to steal things. Not only do we not steal your things, but we also charge 10% higher than the usual price. If If it can be kept warm, then everyone can live in harmony in the future.

But if you still have a cold heart after doing this, then don’t blame us, the Tang Dynasty, for being sorry for you. All people have tempers. We have given good intentions, but what we have gained is a cold heart. Then Don't blame us. Datang is even colder than you. When the time comes, nothing will be left in the city. This is Datang's current policy. (End of chapter)
