Li You first analyzed the situation of the enemy army, and he said: "There are many merchants from Da Shi in Chang'an, and I believe that for the strength of Da Tang, Da Shi should also know something, I guess they dare not rashly start a war with Da Tang." Therefore, only by showing the banner of Datang as soon as possible and making them fearful, they can buy time for the arrival of Datang's reinforcements. ”

In order to make it understandable to everyone, and to keep it a secret, Hamid himself acted as an interpreter. At this time, the Tang Dynasty and Persians present all understood.

Mi Huai said: "Your Highness, let's just order people like this, how can we show our banner?" Once they know that our army has not arrived, and they will come directly, how will we deal with it? ”

Baihu believed Li You, and he said: "Master Mi, didn't the prince say that the banner of the Tang Dynasty was shown, do those big cannibals still dare to come?" ”

Mi Huai said unconvinced: "If there is a big army, they don't dare to come, but don't we have it, people are fighting hard, saying that it is the Persians, not the Tang Dynasty, and when the big cannibals forcibly occupy this place, will the court go to war with the big cannibals?" ”

He made a point, this is an area controlled by Persia, and the Persians are at war with the Great Cannibals, and the Great Cannibals are coming to attack the Persians, and for good reason. There were too few people in the Tang Dynasty, and Li You and others couldn't stop it at all.

Since the Great Cannibal began the Holy War, he has been invincible, at this time the military peak is flourishing, the momentum is like a rainbow, and he may not be afraid of the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and even hold back his strength to compete with the Tang army.

Therefore, it is not that Datang can scare them by planting a few flags.

Abu Hassan and Ghasif also felt that this would not stop the great cannibals.

Abulhasan said: "Your Royal Highness, if you rashly plant the banner of the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid a head-on enemy with the Tang Dynasty, the Great Cannibal is likely to act in advance and take Kabul first.

The big cannibals don't have to come forward themselves, as long as they send the troops of the Turro country, or even let the big food army change into the military uniforms of the Turro country, and fight directly, Kabul will not be able to hold it. You Tang Dynasty people are helpless. ”

Abu Hassan's original Turkmen people, the largest ethnic group in the Turro country, are nomadic people, and their combat power is very strong, don't look at them can't beat the big cannibals, but they don't look at the Persians.

Tura is a small country, which has been neighboring to Persia for more than 100 years, and has not been conquered by Persia, which shows its strong combat effectiveness. The Great Cannibals attacked Kabul, and if there was no surprise, they would send troops from the Turan Kingdom to take the lead.

Gasif was also a little worried, he didn't talk much, Hamid was there, he never spoke, he only knew how to faithfully carry out Hamid's orders. However, the expression on his face also showed that he was not optimistic about Li You's opinion.

Li You smiled and said, "If you are Adnan, the commander of the Great Cannibals, and you see a large number of Tang troops stationed in Kabul, what will you do?" ”

Mi Huai said: "That minister will not rush into the army and figure out the situation." However, there are only a thousand ministers here, where is the army? ”

Li You smiled: "Who said no? ”

Hamid looked at Li You with some confusion, he groaned slightly, and suddenly understood Li You's thoughts, he smiled and said, "Yes, there is an army of the Tang Dynasty." ”

When everyone saw the confident appearance of the two leaders, they were still confused for a while, and their faces were full of doubts.

Li You smiled: "Lao Ha, come on." ”

Hamid drank a cup of tea and said with some excitement: "Do you still remember those Tang Army flags that His Royal Highness King Qi asked him to make in advance?" ”

Mi Huai said puzzledly: "The minister remembers, but there is only a military flag, where did the people come from?" ”

Hamid smiled: "There are ready-made ones, let's ...... like this"

After listening to this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Only Abu Hassan still said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is feasible. However, even if they temporarily hide the big cannibals, how long can they hide them, and besides, the army of the big cannibals still has the advantage, will they come directly before the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty arrive? ”

Li You smiled: "Take one step at a time, when the time comes, I will naturally have a way." ”

Hamid made up his mind, and he said, "Okay, let's follow this plan." ”

"The ministers obey." They all replied in unison.

In the early spring of Kabul, the earth gradually thaws, and the Kabul River, which runs through the whole city of Kabul, brings a lot of water vapor, and there is always a fog in the suburbs at night, which lasts until about 9 a.m., and then gradually dissipates.

In the early morning, in the thick morning mist, on the high ground northwest of Kabul, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a small group of big food rangers wrapped in white heads, wearing white robes and simple leather armor on their upper bodies, marched in the direction of Kabul City under the cover of the fog.

Suddenly, they heard the roar of horses' hooves, a sound that could not be formed by dozens or hundreds of horsemen, and from experience, they knew that this was a movement that could only be made by a cavalry force of at least thousands or even tens of thousands.

The Great Food Rangers slowly approached cautiously in the direction from which the sound came, and gradually they saw a frightening scene, at least tens of thousands of cavalry were advancing towards Kabul.

It is very dangerous to be close to such an army.

The Eclipse Rangers are brave warriors, and in order to find out what is going on with this army, they venture quietly forward, trying to get closer.

The Great Eclipse rangers approached the army, and they could vaguely see that the cavalry was well-armed and well-organized, and did not look like the Persians they were familiar with.

The hundred-man commander of the cavalry, the Umal with blue eyes and a high nose, was a handsome Arab, and although he was only 20 years old, he had been participating in the holy war since he was 13 years old, and he was already a veteran of a hundred battles.

As the Arab armies marched into Kabul, he was sent on a reconnaissance mission.

In order to be able to figure out the situation, Umar ordered his men to stand by, and he only dismounted with only two people, and quietly continued to approach with his horses.

They went all the way to a place a few dozen meters away from the army, and what they saw was the military flag and clothing that were clearly different from the Persian army, and the shape of the weapons was also different from the Persians, and the face shape was not very clear, but it was also different from the Persians.

"This is not the Persian army." Umar judged.

He carefully observed the characteristics of this army, trying to figure out where it came from.

"Wow in the house (what people, stop.) Suddenly, someone shouted in an unfamiliar language, and at the same time, there was a "whoosh" sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air. It seems that the whereabouts of Umar and others have been exposed.

At this time, hundreds of cavalry detachments from the cavalry brigade rushed in the direction where Umar was.
