Chapter 1188

"Impossible!

In the distant city of Baghdad, the Great Food Emperor Caliph held the snow-white letterhead sent by the city of Sandar in his hand, and his whole face was pale and trembling.

An army of seven or eight hundred thousand, more than a dozen governors, countless generals, and the Obsidian Triumvirate and Hular were in charge, this was an unprecedented and huge expedition. The Caliph had expected a clean counterattack that would sweep away all the Tang and Khorasansan people, but a blizzard completely shattered his dream.

An army of nearly five or six hundred thousand was buried in the snow and laid to rest in the vast area between Khorasan and the city of Shandar, turning it into a snowy hell. The fiasco pierced the caliph's heart like an iron cone.

From the germination of the idea of conquering the East to the present, the entire Great Food Empire has buried more than a million troops, three powerful governors, and important imperial ministers such as the war governor Qu Dibo. In the face of such a defeat, even the imperial emperor caliph could not help but turn pale and have difficulty breathing.

"I will never believe it! I will never believe it! I still have so many troops, I will never lose to a group of Tang people from the East!"

The caliph's body trembled more and more violently, and his expression became more and more excited, and at the last sentence, he could not help but have red eyes, and roared out. With a click, only to hear a crisp sound, the caliph closed his five fingers, and the handrail made of sea steel in his hand was immediately shattered by his pinch.

"Your Majesty is angry. ”

In the entire hall, everyone looked shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, one by one in fear.

"Whoa!"

Just when the caliph was at his most angry, stamping and hurrying, a great food herald with a large food falcon perched on the palm of his hand hurriedly walked in.

"Report!"

Seeing the caliph in the temple, the herald bowed his head and quickly knelt on the ground:

"I just received news from the Tang people, who accused us of breaking the agreement and took the initiative to attack, demanding that we pay two billion taels of gold in compensation, otherwise, they will attack and retaliate against our Great Eclipse, and will collect all our soldiers who died in the battle last night and hang them on the head of the city of Khorasan for public display. ”

"Buzz!"

All the governors and generals in the entire hall, including the guards, were suddenly startled and raised their heads one after another. And the Imperial Emperor Caliph above the main hall changed his face suddenly, becoming extremely blue.

"Bastard!"

Hearing only a shocking roar, the Great Food Emperor Caliph finally couldn't help but cry out:

"Wang Chong, I must break your body into ten thousand pieces!"

In the foreign land of the Great Eclipse, as the recognized emperor of the Great Eclipse and the most powerful king in history, the proud and conceited Mutasim III called out a Tang name for the first time.

......

"Master Hou, do you think the big cannibal will really agree to our request and compensate two billion taels of gold?"

When the Great Food Emperor Caliph was so angry by Wang Chong's letterhead that he was almost vomiting blood, at this moment, in the city of Khorasan, Xue Qianjun followed behind Wang Chong and said cautiously. When Wang Chong wrote two billion taels of gold in that letter, Xue Qianjun felt his heart tremble.

In this world, 10 million taels of gold is already an astronomical amount, and the household department has to discuss it again and again every year when approving it, and it will take a long time before it is really released. And Wang Chong's side, when he first negotiated, he asked for one billion taels of gold, and now, he directly reported two billion taels, and Xue Qianjun felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"Hehe, of course not!"

Wang Chong looked at the book in his hand and didn't look back.

"Huh?!"

Xue Qianjun was stunned for a moment and stopped.

"Mutassim III is angry now, and it's no wonder that he will accede to our request. ”

Wang Chong smiled and continued to look at the book in his hand. This is an ancient book of the Sassanid Dynasty, and Yuan Shurong led his disciples to translate it into the language of the Tang Dynasty in one night while avoiding a blizzard, so Wang Chong read it very fluently.

"Your Excellency, ...... you"

Xue Qianjun was confused all of a sudden, if he knew that the other party would not agree, then why did Hou Ye write this letter and ask for two billion taels of gold?

"Hehe, there is almost no richer person in this world than the Great Food Royal Family, and the Great Food Emperor Harry found that he was angry, and it was normal for him to be reluctant to give, but in the end, we will let him out. ”

Wang Chong smiled, and finally raised his head from the book.

The Tang Dynasty is rich, but this wealth is the wealth of the entire empire, the wealth is concentrated in the entire people, and in the hands of the people, the royal family only occupies a part of it. Therefore, although Datang is rich, the household department still needs to worry about the military appropriation of the military department every year.

But the Great Eclipse is different, the emperor of the Great Eclipse, the Caliph, owns the entire empire, and there is no concept of the world as the public here. Moreover, the wealth of the Great Food is not reflected in the wealth of the entire kingdom, but in the elite class of the entire empire and the caliphate, not to mention that the various countries around the Great Food have accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of wealth, all of which were looted by the army of the Great Food Empire and contributed to their own emperor caliphate. The wealth of the caliph can be imagined.

In the face of such a rich caliph, it is strange that Wang Chong is not moved.

Wang Chong's future plans need to be supported by huge wealth, and the caliph is the best "gold master".

Xue Qianjun looked at Wang Chong, as if he understood or not.

"Knock knock!"

Just as Wang Chong and Xue Qianjun were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Wang Chong didn't think about it, and waved his hand.

The gate opened, and a soldier of the Anxidu Protector quickly walked in:

"Lord Protector, my lord sent me over, please come to the council chamber for a while!"

......

Outside the city, the wind and snow gradually subsided, and when Wang Chong went to the Khorasan Council Hall to meet Gao Xianzhi, another meeting was also secretly unfolding in another place.

It's just that unlike what many people think, there is not a single Tang here, only the Khorasan and other rebels.

"General, you have also seen the strength of the Tang people, the great cannibals are so fierce and fierce, they have conquered so many countries, but they have been defeated again and again in their hands, and in just a few months now, they have actually lost more than one million troops, which is unbelievable. But I'm afraid that sooner or later, Datang will withdraw, and when the time comes, the cannibals will make a comeback, and I'm afraid that I will die without a place to bury when the time comes, and everything will be in vain. ”

In the hall, a rebel leader said with a worried face.

The coalition army was victorious, and in last night's battle, at least five or six hundred thousand Great Food troops were killed, such a great victory was unprecedented, but at this moment, the rebel army was full of gloom and even a little panic. The easier it is to win, the more worrying it is to lose.

Although the current reinforcements have completely defeated the attack of the Great Cannibal and successfully gained their own power under the nose of the Great Cannibal, no one knows how long this peace and victory can last. If, in the end, they fall back into the enslavement of the Great Cannibals, it will be unacceptable to all.

"But didn't General Wang already agree to be the commander of our coalition forces, and the Tang people finally fought here, why do you think they will retreat?"

"No, it's been a while since the Tang people arrived here, but they haven't taken over the city lord's mansion until now, and there is no sign that they are in charge of the whole of Khorasan, and in the war with the Great Cannibals, they have consumed too many elites, and the Tang Dynasty/army that has stayed in Khorasan is not even 30,000 people, this is not a posture to rule a place at all. ”

In the hall, a rebel leader stood up.

"Yes! If the Tang people really want to gain a foothold in Khorasan, it is impossible that no army has been sent by now, although the territory of Khorasan and the Tang people is far apart, but if the Tang people really want to stay here, then there must be a way to overcome it. ”

Another rebel leader also spoke.

"Yes, yes, if the Tang people want to stay here, there must be a way to do it!"

In the hall, everyone followed suit.

Bahram glanced at it, and at a glance recognized that the last person to speak was a rebel leader in the northeast region of Dashi, named Sangar. This man has a calm heart and has a very high reputation in the rebel army, and even he is worried that the Tang people may leave, and the panic in the hearts of others can be imagined.

Bahram didn't speak, but his brows furrowed, and the deeper he wrinkled, how could he not have this kind of worry in his heart, but he would not say it in front of everyone.

"General, you and that Tang commander are the closest, can you think of a way to let him stay?"

"You and I both know the viciousness and cruelty of the big cannibals, if the Tang people leave, you and I both know what the consequences will be, do you really want to see this tragic situation happen?"

"We have already killed too many people by the Great Cannibals, even if we die this time, we will not surrender to them, no matter what, we must seize this opportunity and find a way to keep the Tang people. ”

In the hall, everyone was gossiping and whispering in Bahram's ear.

In addition to the Tang people, the entire coalition army has the highest cultivation of Bahram, and the relationship with the Tang people is also the closest, which is why they invited Bahram over to discuss secretly.

After seeing the strength of the Tang people, and seeing the courage, determination, wisdom and strategy of the young commander of the Tang Dynasty in the blizzard, the more everyone cherished the alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and the more they hoped that they could stay here and form a long-lasting strategic alliance.

I am afraid that even Wang Chong would not have imagined that the "peace" he showed during the war would cause such a strong unease among the leaders of the coalition forces.

"However, this matter is not for me to decide, if the Tang people want to leave, what can I do?"

Bahram said with a frown, and as soon as his voice fell, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
