Chapter 1371 Entering Samarkand

Prince Salaman has woken up. He finally woke up on the way, but because various conditions were not up to standard, he suffered enough along the way. Unexpectedly, he would arrive in the city of Samarkand soon and be able to have a good rest. After a while, something like this happened again.

If it were just a bunch of rioters in normal times, no matter if it was ten thousand or twenty thousand, the three thousand people under his command would be fine and they could kill these guys like chopping melons and vegetables. But after a long journey, Everyone can barely hold their own weapons. Now they have to face the attacks of these people. How can they withstand it?

The two sides started fighting directly. Prince Salaman's men didn't have any strength at all, so it was them who were killed. Now they will definitely not be able to go back in the city. They can only escort His Royal Highness the Prince to retreat to the south. .

In a simple encounter, Prince Salaman lost more than 800 people. Fortunately, his men ran fast enough and had horses and camels. Otherwise, he would have died here.

Prince Salaman looked at the city not far away, feeling really sad and angry in his heart. As a result, he fainted again. He had collected so many gold and silver treasures, all of which were in this city, and now he couldn't go back.

What about this guy Feisal? Why didn’t you see him just now?

His Royal Highness originally thought that Governor Faisal had rebelled, but he only saw some locals just now, so Prince Salaman thought that the guy was probably killed. If so, then the guilt might be deeper this time. Not only did he defeat the war, but one of the governors of the empire was also killed by the locals. After returning to the Arab capital, he may not even have freedom in the future.

You may still be able to live as the son of the Khalifa, but if you are allowed to live freely, then who will atone for the sins of these hundreds of thousands of people? This can be said to be the heaviest loss suffered by the Arab Empire in the process of expansion.

But there are also advantages to going south from here, that is, there are cities established by Arabs everywhere along the way. They can also provide necessary supplies to His Highness the Prince. It is just the capital of Arabia. After hearing this news, I don’t know what they think. .

After defeating this army, the people of Samarkand City immediately rode camels and headed east. They wanted to find the Tang Dynasty army, tell them the current situation of Samarkand City, and ask the Tang Dynasty army to come over quickly and garrison the province. The Arab army fought back. They almost killed the prince just now, and there was no way to turn back.

Feng Chucai is now the westernmost member of the Tang army. When he met these people, he couldn't believe his ears. This was really a blessing from God.

We have just killed the army of your Arab Empire. Unexpectedly, a rebellion broke out in the rear. Governor Faisal and his people ran away to an unknown place. The city of Samarkand is now unguarded.

What else is there to say? General Feng immediately mobilized his five thousand troops and rushed directly towards the city of Samarkand.

At the same time, someone immediately sent a message to the general in the rear, asking him to send people to support him. The Anton Governor's Mansion has a large area, and they don't know what is going on around them. Although these people said that the army was brought to the battlefield. , but can you believe what they say?

After learning the news, Cheng Chuliang immediately made preparations. Although there were still a large number of prisoners to deal with, this opportunity was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This guy immediately ordered Li Chengyi to lead 10,000 cavalry and move towards Sasha as quickly as possible. As Markhan City advances, we must stabilize the situation and stop expanding to the surrounding areas for the time being until our supporting troops arrive.

Now the results of the victory are really great. We have only dealt with the Arab army, but we do not have the power to take down their entire Anton region. But we also have to capture their main city first. As for the surrounding areas The area will not be able to escape in the future.

On the one hand, Cheng Chuliang sent people to consolidate the surrounding areas. On the other hand, he also sent a Western Region Army of about 20,000 people to help manage these prisoners and free up our people.

Furthermore, it is necessary to report to Chang'an City. Such a big victory now should make the people in Chang'an City happy for a while. Ever since the army left Chang'an, everyone from top to bottom has been sweating for them. Now, too, Finally, the pain comes to an end.

People went to Chang'an City to report the victory one after another. Various inns were running quickly along the way, and finally the news was sent to Chang'an City within thirteen days.

Hundreds of thousands of prisoners, more than two million square kilometers of land...

Although the people in Chang'an City still don't understand the area unit of square kilometers, they can understand a comparison, that is, it is as large as more than a dozen provinces.

Although they are all barren land, according to what His Highness said, our territory has been expanded so much to the west, which means that the people in the country have more opportunities. Whenever we occupy a new place, as long as it is If you have the courage and brains, you can change your own destiny, and you can change it very well.

Everyone in the court was very happy, but one person was not very happy, and that was Li Xiang.

Although this guy is not a warmonger, he still wants to be impressive on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, without him this time, the people on the front line still won, which means that he does not need to go to various places to fight in the future. He just needs to formulate policies in Chang'an City, and there will be people below who will fight for him.

Of course, he would not show this emotion. An empire cannot be built by one person. Now that he has independent talents, Li Xiang can also take a good rest. In the future, he will become the prince and the emperor. When the time comes, is it still necessary for the imperial chariot to conquer in person? There is no such prince or emperor in the world.

For such a result, everyone in the Tang Dynasty celebrated. When they learned that a group of prisoners, numbering about 100,000, were about to be transported back, the entire city of Chang'an was boiling. This was a big event in recent years. win.

Everyone in the imperial court was preparing for the celebration, but the generals of the Western Regions were not idle. They knew that the imperial court would not be able to increase its troops in a short time, but they could not give up.

Xiao Shougui and Cheng Chuliang met, and they had to recruit the strength of various countries in the Western Region on a large scale and rely on them to occupy new lands... (End of Chapter)
