Gegemu City.

Azim and Umar returned to the city, and supposedly they should have reported to Adnan, the governor of Turo, but Azim had more important things to do.

He said, "Umar, you go back and report first." ”

For Umar, there was indeed nothing left to do with him, and it was not his turn to report to the Governor. He said, "Yes, my lord, the villain has retired." ”

Azimu first returned to his lodgings and hid the treasure of this harvest, which was the important thing he had to do.

Supposedly, as a general, Azimu should not care about these belongings like this. Why is this so?

This starts with the composition of the Great Food Army.

At this time, the organization of the Great Food Army was mainly a tribal army, not a unified and regular army of the whole country.

The so-called guns are the grass kings, their titles are very confusing, and in order to enhance their pride, the generals have a lot of titles.

Azimu, a general, was placed in the Tang Dynasty, that is, at the level of a 7-rank officer, and he was still a staff officer without a commander, and he was able to go to Kabul this time mainly because he could speak Chinese.

The military merit reward system of the Great Food Army seems to be very high, except for a few troops directly controlled by the imperial court such as the Praetorian Guard, most of them do not have a fixed military salary, and the source of military expenditure mainly depends on capture. Four-fifths of the property they seized went to themselves, and one-fifth was handed over to the rear, that is, Damascus.

This 4/5 refers to the capture of the entire army, and then most of it is left as the military expenses of this army, and the rest can be distributed to all personnel.

When distributed, it was distributed according to the level, and the big heads were given to the leaders of the high-level, and there were not many people at the level of Aqimu's turn.

Those precious glassware and other treasures are not at all the turn of Azimu, and it is good to give him a few Persian gold coins occasionally.

As for the soldiers, even less were given to them.

Why, then, are those soldiers so brave?

As mentioned earlier, the Great Cannibals did not have a citizen army, that is, an army of civilian soldiers like the Tang Dynasty army. The soldiers of the Great Food were born poor, mostly slaves, and they were greatly motivated by the fact that they were rewarded in battle.

Of course, after they were unified into the Holy Religion, they became warriors with ideals who could sacrifice their lives for Allah, so they were not afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness was strong.

Azimu came to the General's Mansion and asked to see Adnan, the governor of Turao.

He was met by Adnan and several of Adnan's other generals.

Aqimu said excitedly: "Your Excellency the Governor, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission and figured out the intention of the Tang Dynasty to appear in Kabul. ”

"Say it." Adnan said.

Azimu carefully described his trip to Kabul, portraying himself as a valiant and resourceful super-spy.

In short, the news he provided to Adnan and others was that the Tang Dynasty had taken over the Persian province of Angot, and it was the Tang Dynasty Prince Li You who was responsible for receiving it, and he also brought 100,000 troops, and reinforcements were coming.

This 100,000 army is his estimate, and the number of Tang troops he knows now is 70,000, and even 30,000 is not too much if he can't see it.

Adnan asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?" ”

Although Aqimu did not see the troops of the Tang Army, he saw the generals who commanded the Tang Army. Besides, last time tens of thousands of Tang troops entered Kabul, but Umar and others saw it with their own eyes.

Adnan asked very carefully, and Azimu answered satisfactorily.

Azimu now very much does not want to fight with the Tang Dynasty, because Li You told him that as long as the two countries can live in peace and trade with each other, Azimu will be his friend, and the benefits will be great in the future.

Now, through the description of Umar and others last time, and the information that Aqimu is from him, the situation faced by Adnan and other senior generals is already clear - the Tang Dynasty has occupied Kabul, and there is a well-equipped and large army. The Tang Dynasty people did not want to fight, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi came to sign a peace agreement with them.

Moreover, the prince of the Tang Dynasty dared to negotiate with them, and he should have no fear, which also proved the accuracy of the information provided by Aqimu and others.

Adnan said, "Azimu, you go down first." ”

After Azimu left, Adnan and the others talked for a while, and decided to talk to the prince of the Tang Dynasty first.

Umar returned to the barracks, and after reporting to the commander, the commander told him two news, one of which was that the governor had decided to let him enter the pro-soldier guard, because he would also be involved in the reception of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

There is still a difference between the Governor's Palace Guard and the Pro-Guard, and the Pro-Guard is Adnan's personal personal guard, with a higher status.

The second news was that he had been approached by the soldiers of the original unit who had followed him, hoping that he would meet them when he returned.

Umar thanked the commander and rode out of the city to the original troops.

When Umar returned to his tent, he found that he did not know anyone inside, and he asked, "What about the original people here?" ”

Several of the soldiers inside said they didn't know, and they had only come here in the past few days.

Umar came out of the tent and saw a familiar officer from a distance, the other hundreds. He shouted: "Altai." ”

"It's Umar." The officer saw him and greeted him.

Umar asked, "What about my men?" ”

Altai looked around nervously and said softly: "This is not the place to talk, you come with me." ”

The two rode out of the camp and came to an abandoned canal.

Umar asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Altai said: "After you left, your team was disbanded, and your men were organized into the miscellaneous team. Something happened when they went. ”

"What?" Umar was taken aback.

It turned out that the soldiers under Umar were now rich, and their boss, Umar, had joined the Governor's guard again, and his temperament was higher than before.

They saw that because of Umar's absence, they had been incorporated into the miscellaneous team, so they were inevitably a little dissatisfied.

A few days ago, the brothers complained in the tent and were overheard, and reported to the centennial commander of the handyman team. Hearing that these guys actually had 5 Persian silver coins, the officers of the miscellaneous team were envious and jealous, and they were immediately annoyed. They immediately reported the situation to the thousand-man chief.

As a result, the soldiers were not only forced to hand over the Persian silver coins, but they were also imprisoned in preparation for the next battle, and they were to be put into death squads.

The death squad was full of soldiers who had made all kinds of mistakes, and when it came to conquering the city, they were sent to take the lead and die for the rest of their lives.

Umar, who was a brother to the six soldiers, asked, "Where are they being held?" ”
