Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and others were all dumbfounded.
Such matters as admonishment should have been the responsibility of civil servants such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. They, warriors, could only fight and kill the enemy.
But now, there are only a few of them old warriors here, and there is not a single civil servant who can advise His Majesty. And even if they tried to advise His Majesty for a long time, in the end, they got themselves involved again!
well!
Thinking about it, Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and others looked depressed.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, looked proud.
A bunch of old men, instead of thinking about fighting, they actually wanted to trick him!
"Your Majesty, Uncle Hejian, fellow veteran generals, can Chenglu offer you some advice?"
Just when Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and others were at a loss what to do, Li Chenglu, who was standing by, really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Chenglu has a plan to offer?"
From Datang to Dashi, Li Chenglu rarely spoke when Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong and others were discussing important matters.
Then, set up a large number of bomb traps in Saar City!"
"..."
"Even those barbarians from the Turks in the past did not dare to be so arrogant in the face of my Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty!"
However, the Tang Empire in the far east came to attack us. They are evil and shameful pagans. Even if they have an army of 100,000, we don’t need to be afraid. Under the guidance of God, we will definitely defeat the 100,000 Tang army.
In the city of Saar.
This time, I finally followed Your Majesty to Dashi, so I wanted to have a good fight.
So, orders were issued from Medina one after another.
Therefore, after hearing that they had waited so long for 200,000 barbarians to arrive, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others suddenly looked angry.
"Your Majesty, the barbarian armies are coming from four directions. The armies on both sides are larger in number. Each army has about 60,000 people. As for the two armies in the middle, there are almost 40,000 people.
The scout captain reported the report to Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and other veterans with faces full of joy.
This seems to make sense.
Even the fish in the sea began to parade around the sea area of Saar City.
Moreover, it was the emperor of the Tang Empire who personally commanded the army!
When the 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty heard the news, their faces were full of joy and their minds calmed down.
After staying on this big island for half a month, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were a little tired of staying there.
"If Chenglu has any plans, just tell him!"
The barbarians were able to draw out an army of 200,000, and they should have drawn out some of the city's defenders.
at the same time.
In fact, they can figure these things out if they think about it carefully.
In this case, I, the King of the Tang Dynasty, have come all the way through a tiring journey and have just landed ashore. Why don't I take a good rest for a few days, or even a month?
"Exactly, please rest assured, great Caliph, that the Eastern Emperor of the Tang Dynasty dared to lead a mere hundred thousand troops to attack our country in Arabia. As servants of Allah, we will definitely keep the Eastern Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Arabia and accept Allah
The teachings of..."
“We will follow God’s guidance!”
In this way, when I, the King of Tang Dynasty, go to conquer the hinterland of Dashi, there should not be many Dashi armies to attack us..."
The most important thing is that in the Tang Empire, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had the most authority and could summon millions of troops with just one word.
Thinking of this, Caliph Omer could not help but look solemn.
Although Arabia seems to have a vast territory, it actually does not have many citizens. In fact, because more than half of the country has just been conquered, those territories have not yet been fully digested.
The remaining 60,000 troops were either fishing at the beach, hunting in the surrounding wilderness and hills, or borrowing food from nearby cities.
Every day, 20,000 troops guard the ships, and 20,000 troops guard the city of Saar.
Give the rulers and dignitaries of the Dashi Country time to react, and let them assemble an army to attack us!
By the time Dashi's army arrived, our Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty had almost rested and was just waiting for work. We set up our artillery and used the advantage of our Datang army to directly eliminate Dashi's elite army here.
"Your Majesty, I finally agree with Prince Hejian's plan!"
The two imperial generals provoked the powerful Tang Dynasty in the east. Not long after, the Tang army attacked and robbed a border city of the empire.
Half a month later, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others led an army of 100,000 people and had almost eaten up all the beasts around Saar City.
The food army they had been waiting for finally arrived.
Let these 100,000 troops serve as slaves to my great Arabs!"
"..."
"Hahaha, that is, let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty be a slave to Allah..."
Caliph Abu Bakr naturally did not agree with such a huge insult.
Li Xiaogong suggested.
However, I didn't expect that after so long, the Tang Empire would call again.
"It's your Majesty. We have come all the way, so it's time to let all the men rest here for a while, until the leader of the barbarian kingdom comes to greet us with his troops in person!"
The emperor of a country actually led the troops himself? Didn't he come from Arabia to completely destroy them?
"Your Majesty, the general feels that only two thousand cannons cannot wipe out all the two hundred thousand barbarians at once, so we should remove a thousand more cannons from the ship.
"Everyone, the army of the Tang Dynasty is different from the cowardly armies of Persia, Cairo, and Byzantium. Therefore, under the guidance of God, we must recall the generals and soldiers who are fighting abroad. Only by gathering an army of more than 200,000 can we attack the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Army!"
Fortunately, the two big countries were so far apart that even a caravan would have to walk for half a year, or even a year, to reach Arabia from the Tang Dynasty.
However, there were quite a few strange-looking beasts, which greatly benefited all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
The main thing is that there are no wild beasts for them to hunt and wrestle here, and there are no big fish for them to catch in the sea, let alone growing food and vegetables on this barren land.
"Great idea!"
Sal City and Medina City are both cities on the Arabian Peninsula. The distance is not too far away. It is about the distance from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to Liangzhou.
"Great Prophet Caliph, please rest assured that we Arab soldiers are the most powerful soldiers in the world! As long as the great Caliph gives me an army of one hundred thousand, I will definitely be able to keep those Tang people in Arabia and serve as slaves to God!"
The Tang Empire had tens of millions of people, and its territory was larger than the current territory of their Arab Empire.
If it weren't for the fact that these barbarians refused to surrender and needed to be taught by the Tang Dynasty how to be barbarians, when they first set foot on this land, everyone, including Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and other Tang soldiers, wanted to turn away.
Leave.
Therefore, as soon as Li Chengqian opened his mouth, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others were full of expectations.
Looking at these stunned Tang veterans, Li Chenglu sighed helplessly.
However, what none of them expected was that after the two imperial generals left, no news came back except for sending people back to the eastern land that they were indeed very wealthy.
However, every word spoken is very important to Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others.
As for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if he could be captured alive, he might even bring unexpected wealth to Arabia!
Thinking of this, Caliph Omer had a certain look in his eyes. He stood up and looked at the nobles and generals standing below! In any case, since His Majesty of the Tang Empire dared to personally bring an army of 100,000 to attack their Arab Empire.
, then as the prophet and caliph of Arabia, he must fight it back!
"Everyone, the Tang Empire in the far east actually began to attack our great Arab Empire, and also captured the city of Sal. In these years, only our great Arabs can be illuminated by the glory of God and can be guided by God.
Next, attack other surrounding countries.
Therefore, Caliph Omer was not afraid of the Tang Empire attacking them again.
Different from the nobles and generals at home who have been obsessed with their great achievements in conquering countries such as Byzantium, Alexandria, Cairo, and Persia. Caliph Omer has been sending various caravans to the far east in recent years to inquire about
The situation of the Tang Empire in the East.
Then, less than a year later, the bad news came back.
Omar was much more familiar with the Tang Dynasty than Zeros Thrall.
However, he still obeyed the words of Caliph Umar.
But this time, Datang's army came directly from the sea, and there were more than 200 large ships, with a total of 100,000 troops!
Therefore, within a few days, the news that a large army with full armor and an explosive weapon appeared in Saar City spread throughout several cities around Saar City.
In the great food capital, Medina.
Subsequently, the Tang Empire sent envoys to ask Caliph Abu Bakr to compensate the Tang Dynasty and donate treasures every year.
Although the generals were somewhat disapproving of using 200,000 Arab troops to attack the Tang army.
"Your Majesty, the last general..."
However, Caliph Omar never expected that just ten years later, the Tang Empire would send a hundred thousand troops to attack them from the sea.
In addition, various religions are prevalent in this land.
"Destroy Dashi in one battle!"
In the castle where Caliph Umar was located, Caliph Umar also received a letter asking for help from Zeros Saar, the Lord of Saar.
The nobles and common people in all the surrounding cities were trembling all day long. Some nobles even had no choice but to move from home after being robbed twice.
Moreover, this army has tens of thousands of troops, which is more than the population of all the people in a city combined.
A group of elite troops guarding cities in various parts of Arabia were recalled and headed towards the city of Saar.
The total number of these four armies is almost 200,000!"
So, he secretly led an army of 30,000 people to attack the eastern countries.
After all, more than ten years ago, when he was not the caliph, he saw with his own eyes two generals in Arabia who followed the orders of the first caliph Abu Bakr to attack Persia.
After Li Chenglu finished speaking, there was silence in the room. Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and others all opened their eyes and looked happy.
Although this area is very desolate, there is not even a forest in many places.
Although I, the Hundred Thousand Emperors of the Tang Dynasty, attacked Dashi in the name of conquering the rebellious barbarians, to the dignitaries and kings of Dashi, I, Dashi, was the invader, the dignitary and the king of Dashi.
The most hated outsider.
However, for these veterans of the battlefield, there has been no war for more than ten years that has allowed them to stretch their muscles and bones, and they have long been exhausted.
Therefore, he didn't think too much, and only thought about how to kill every one of the 200,000 thieves.
Therefore, as long as the Lord of Dashi and the powerful people know about the existence of our Tang Dynasty's 100,000-strong army, they will definitely send a large number of troops to attack and destroy us.
"Your Majesty, veteran generals, is it possible that these 200,000 troops are already the largest number of elites that the Arab Empire can mobilize?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others were all stunned.
Within this half month, they had a pretty good understanding of the situation in Arabia.
In particular, Hashem Ut, Numan, Amr and other young generals in their prime were all young generals promoted by Caliph Omar and loyal to him. They all fought very bravely. When they attacked countries such as Persia and Cairo, they became even more powerful.
With a small number of Arab troops, they defeated armies that were twice their number, leaving Arab soldiers with no opponents in this area!
In comparison, their Arab Empire was far inferior.
The caravan he sent also brought back what he wanted.
For the current plan, only by annihilating the 100,000-strong army of the Tang Empire can we protect the safety of the Arabs and safeguard the wealth of God!
"Hmph, when the time comes, I hope that the Lord of the Dashi Kingdom can bring all the elites in the country, so that these arrogant barbarians can have a good taste of my Tang Dynasty artillery!"
Li Chenglu turned around in front of Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Aye told Chenglu when he set off from Lijiazhuang.
"A mere two hundred thousand barbarians dare to attack our Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Um?"
Now, there are no veteran generals left to lead troops to conquer Dashi City.
However, on their way to attack Persia, the generals of the two empires heard that there was a very fertile land in the far east.
"What a barbarian, how can he look down on us like this?"
At the same time, letters for help were sent one after another to Medina, where Caliph Umar was.
All the Arab generals were full of confidence and arrogance.
"Two hundred thousand barbarians eating them?"
The eyes of all the veterans showed bloodthirsty light.
However, what they didn't expect was that Li Shimin actually shook his head.
"Born in sorrow, died in happiness! Today, only a powerful country like Dashi is left that dares to fight with me, the Tang Dynasty. If Dashi's 200,000 troops are left here at once, there is no guarantee that they have just unified all the surrounding countries.
The great food will destroy the remnants of those kingdoms.
In this way, it will be difficult for our sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty to find another opponent in the future!"
