Chapter 1343 Be careful what you say

After a few days of cleaning up, this area was finally cleared out. Too many people died. In addition to the people killed by the Tang Dynasty army this time, the Arab Empire's army was also idle here. They Kill everyone who opposes.

War is so cruel. Either you are on my side or you are on my enemy's side. As long as you don't take a stand, you will be killed.

"The population of the Western Region is not large to begin with. After this war, I estimate that it will slip to a deeper level."

Cheng Chuliang said with some worry, without these Arabs, after twenty or thirty years of rule, we could turn this place into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Arabs are causing trouble this time, maybe this time will be pushed back. .

"Commander, don't worry. If we defeat the Arabs, our territory will become larger. Then we will just immigrate here. In short, no matter how much losses we have suffered now, everything will be recovered from the Arab Empire." Come on, this time we found a total of 10 million yuan worth of property."

The statistical results have come out. When he heard this number, Cheng Chuliang couldn't believe it. Judging from the poverty around him, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you probably won't be able to find 10 million yuan.

"Commander, don't believe it. Look at these records. They are all the result of people from the Arab Empire. They robbed them from other places and finally transported them all here. So not only this city, but also the past We wanted to do it, but we didn’t dare to do it, and now someone has done it for us.”

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Chengyi dared to say this. If the people from the Western Regions around him heard it, he would definitely be confused again.

"Can you please pay attention when you speak? Without the Loulan Cavalry in this war, we would not have been able to achieve such a victory. The attitudes of the countries in the Western Regions towards the Tang Dynasty are not all the same. Many people are already changing. We are in the process of doing this. From now on, we should keep our mouths shut."

Cheng Chuliang said angrily, if we don't unite the locals, we will always be outsiders here, so national integration must be put on the agenda. Although it seems difficult now, in ten or twenty years, this area will It is definitely the most solid border area in our country.

Looking at the records in the account book, Cheng Chuliang also knew what happened to the money. It turned out that it did not belong to this city. It was not wrong to think about it. If this city could find out 10 million yuan, it would be a big deal. It is no longer a city in the Western Regions, it is almost equivalent to a wealthy city in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Cheng Chuliang also understood that if the money could be gathered, there would be no telling how many people would lose their heads. Anyway, all this would be recorded on the Arab soldiers and had nothing to do with us. We captured it from the Arabs.

The soldiers from various countries in the Western Regions who accompanied the army also understood that they also received a lot of money in this war, which was more than what they earned at home in a year. As for those who died in the war, they would also be given a share of the money to their families. money.

The Tang Dynasty Court had not been here for a long time, and the people in the Western Regions had to get certain benefits. Only when they got the benefits from the imperial court could they continue to maintain the majesty of the imperial court.

"Don't just look for money, interrogate some of them and take a look at the surrounding situation. If there are Arab strongholds around, then we can't be idle. We must take down these places quickly and wait until we control the surrounding areas. Then we’ll figure out what to do next?”

Cheng Chuliang actually didn't have to worry about this. General Mo Lun didn't rest for two days in a row. He just gathered these people together and interrogated them properly.

When Cheng Chuliang mentioned this issue, General Mo Lun had already arrived with several documents. After two days and two nights of surprise interrogation, he basically figured out the surrounding situation. They were indeed the Anton Governor's Mansion. The most easterly unit.

"There are two military camps around us, but there are not many troops stationed there. I have sent people to check them out as soon as possible. The two military camps are now empty. About tomorrow afternoon, our scouts will We will be back soon, but if my guess is correct, all the troops will have fled back to the city of Samarkand."

General Molun marked two black dots on the map, which are the other two strongholds of the Anton Governor's Mansion, but our people have all visited them. After the disastrous defeat of the Shiguo army, all the troops in these two places were withdrawn. After all, they only have a thousand people in each stronghold, so there is no use staying there.

"We should be safe during this period. While we don't have to fight for the time being, we can take care of the matters in our hands and send someone to deliver a message to Chang'an City."

Cheng Chudian nodded, and then arranged the following work. In addition to some basic work, the most important thing is to send out our scouts. All situations within 500 kilometers to the west must be controlled by ourselves. hand to prevent the Arab cavalry from making a sneak attack on us.

This time they suffered such a big loss. If they were to endure it, not even a child would believe it. You must know that the Arab Empire was also a large empire that controlled a large amount of land and people. In previous foreign wars, they can achieve huge benefits.

Now they have suffered two losses at the hands of the Tang Dynasty army. They have lost more than 20,000 troops and other personnel. If they can swallow this breath, then I am afraid they will not be able to develop so big.

Ten days later, those who fled finally returned to the city of Samarkand.

When he saw the beaten men in front of him, Prince Salaman became angry with them and asked his men to kill all the soldiers who ran back.

This is also the tradition of the Arab Empire. No matter what the reason is, as long as you run on the battlefield and come back, it means that you are not fighting seriously. No matter how important the news you bring back, you will die. .

Governor Faisal has now been reinstated. Of course, it is not because of his good performance, but because he knows how to make money and gave all the money he grabbed from around to His Royal Highness. Therefore, this guy has been reinstated. Of course, there is also the most important reason. He also gave his other adult niece to Prince Salaman.

After the official was restored to his original position, he had one idea: not to seek merit, but to seek no faults... (End of Chapter)
