Chapter 1537 The Caliph's Decision

arab palace

In a place surrounded by desert, they actually built a gorgeous palace, and there were all kinds of plants here. Many slaves carried water here from morning to night, so that these plants could grow. Otherwise, he would have died long ago in such an environment.

"My respected Caliph, the current army has begun to assemble. It will take about two and a half months for the warriors of our empire to be assembled. When the time comes, please rest assured that I will definitely take the warriors of the empire to capture the city. We, the people of the Anton Governor's Mansion, defeated them in one fell swoop, took back the original land, and invaded and occupied the thirty-six countries in the Western Region to open the passage to the Central Plains. "

In front of the huge throne, a general wearing gold and silver knelt and said, this guy is the first general of the Arab Empire, Sukhguman.

After many ministers around heard the news, they all had fanatical smiles on their faces. As long as General Suhoguman went on an expedition, there was basically no battle that he would not win. There were only battles that he was unwilling to fight. Without him, there would be no victory. An unwinnable battle.

"May the great Allah bless us, and may the great Allah bless you to achieve victory."

The current caliph is a king in his fifties. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been acquiring new lands and making new efforts. This also makes him have an extremely conceited character. However, in front of the big countries in the east, they turned out to be He failed, and failed miserably, so he killed all his sons without hesitation.

The people present have all heard people describe that the Tang Dynasty was an extremely wealthy dynasty. Their palace was covered with gold bricks everywhere, and the whole country was very fat. So people in the Arab Empire also thought about it. If we could conquer it, we could even move the whole country there, so we wouldn't have to live in such a hot place.

Of course, if this thing is to be realized, the Tang army must be defeated first. According to the soldiers who escaped last time, the weapons and equipment of the Datang army are much more advanced than ours, and they are simply useless on the battlefield. They are no match for them. In just a few breaths, the Tang army can disrupt our front line.

General Sukhguman did not believe at all those who disturbed the morale of the army and directly asked his men to chop off their heads.

Apart from him, the great Caliph also didn't believe this, so 90% of those who escaped from the battlefields of the Tang Dynasty were now dead. Many people felt that their souls had been contaminated by the devil. , that’s why he said such unrealistic words.

Is the combat effectiveness of our empire's army poor? This is simply impossible. Look at how well we performed when we faced those European heavy armored cavalry. When we raised the scimitars in our hands, no one could be our opponent. They Can only become our slave.

During this expedition to Europe, they brought back nearly 20,000 strong slaves. These people were much taller and stronger than them. They were expected to serve their country for a long time, but who knew these people would arrive? After coming here, many people couldn't bear the heat here and died early.

So the great caliph said, it must be these white people who are in conflict with us. If we can defeat the Tang Empire, then we can have many slaves. After all, they also have many people from the Western Regions here, and those Western Regions people can be here. Stay alive.

In the palace hall, hundreds of officials were cheering loudly, as if they had won the war. After all, they used this cheer to bid farewell to Sukhguman two years ago. The general went on an expedition to Europe.

In the end, they also won the victory, beating several European countries to the point where they could not hold their heads up, especially the most powerful Frankish Empire. If it were not for the fact that we were not very familiar with the local terrain, we would even be able to kill them. to their capital.

According to some people, they should pursue the victory and continue to annihilate the Frankish Empire. However, the entire empire suffered a disastrous defeat in the east. More than 200,000 troops were wiped out in this way. They had to temporarily withdraw their troops to deal with the danger in the east first. It has been lifted, and the passage to the Central Plains has been opened, and we will make plans when the time comes.

The Caliph's idea is very straightforward. After opening up the passage to the Central Plains, if the Tang army is vulnerable, then we will concentrate our superior forces and rush directly to their Chang'an City. Many people have said that there is the most powerful city in the world. The largest city, larger than the major cities in the entire Arab Empire.

If it can be captured there, it will be a very glorious thing for the entire empire. In addition to the appearance, the most important thing is to be able to harvest a large amount of gold and silver treasures. According to some businessmen Yes, you can't even imagine the gold and silver treasures in Chang'an City. Even if we collect all the wealth of our empire, it cannot compare with that wealthy country in the east.

Of course, if this channel cannot be opened, then the land around the Anton Governor's Mansion must be preserved. The people here are not arrogant. They also know that the Tang army is very powerful, so this expedition has two strategic goals. , either they can enter Chang'an City, or they must save the Anton Governor's Mansion and move the Tang Dynasty's army back to their so-called Western Regions.

After determining these two goals, the entire empire began to recruit troops on a large scale. Many people had just retreated from the battlefield, and before they had time to digest the looted gold and silver treasures, they went into battle again and prepared for the Eastern Expedition. The Tang Dynasty.

Datang's intelligence officers were not idle either. As time went by, they also investigated the number of generals and troops, and sent them to Datang's military camp as quickly as possible to remind our people Be prepared. If possible, you can attack in advance and conduct a sneak attack on the Arab Empire's army first.

If the sneak attack can be successful, then our Tang Dynasty can change from passive to active. After the Arab Empire's army suffered a disastrous defeat last time, although they tried their best to block the news of the failure in the east, many people in the army still knew that once the third After a good start in one battle, these soldiers will not have much fighting spirit left.

Of course, this is just a suggestion from frontline intelligence personnel. As for which one Li Xiang adopts, that is Li Xiang's own business. (End of chapter)
