Chapter 624: It's so sweet
On the northern outskirts of Gegemu City, there is a desolate Gobi Desert, and on the dark brown rocky ground, this white brigade is particularly eye-catching.
In the more than 600-year history of the Great Food Empire, in the early Umayyad and the Four Caliph periods, because people admired white, the flags and costumes were mainly white, and the Great Cannibals were also called the Great Food in White.
The One Thousand and One Nights depicts the middle Abbasid dynasty, where people worshipped black and were known as the Black Eater.
The later Fatimid dynasty admired green and called it the green coat and food.
Clearing the way in front of the detachment was the famous Khorasan cavalry of the Great Eclipse Royal Guard.
The Khorasan cavalry was known as one of the ten strongest armies of antiquity, ranking ahead of the Persian Empire's Immortal Army.
The officers and men of this team are all from the Arabian Peninsula, and they are selected from the elite of the troops starting with Muhammad, the founder of the Great Food Empire.
Then, escorted by a group of cavalrymen on camels and armed with spears, a young prince appeared.
The young prince was dressed in a silk white robe, with a white turban and a pure gold headband, giving him a noble look.
He is Pei Dilan. He has a tall and muscular build, black hair and white skin, which is a striking contrast. On the angular face, there is a broad forehead, and under the sword eyebrows are a pair of pale blue eyes with deep eye sockets. The high bridge of the nose and thin lips outline a grim expression.
The person is very handsome, but his expression is a little indifferent, which is difficult to approach.
Adnan and the others have been fighting abroad all the year round, and they have never seen this prince, and they can't help but admire Pei Dilan's dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing.
The crowd hurriedly greeted him and bowed respectfully to him.
Pei Dilan nodded on the camel's back, which was considered a return salute, and then walked straight forward.
Adnan and the others felt a little uncomfortable when they saw him so arrogant, but this was probably the royal family's style, and it seemed that they could accept it.
Soon after, the General's Palace.
Pei Dilan came as a supervisor this time, and he not only brought 3,000 Khorasan cavalry, but also brought a large number of weapons, food and other materials, and won the favor of Adnan and others at once.
Prior to this, the various units at the front had handed over 1/5 of their belongings after looting supplies to feed the court of the Great Food State in Damascus. In addition, they also have to take out part of their wealth to honor those powerful people, and they have never seen the money back.
Under normal circumstances, the soldiers on the front line did not welcome the supervising army, and in addition to pointing fingers and blocking the soldiers, they also had to extort a large amount of money.
The fact that Pedilan was able to bring supplies with him shows how much Caliph Umar favored and valued him.
It's a pity that Pei Dilan's first sentence made the generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army frown. He said: "You have been here for a long time, why don't you march into Kabul? What should I do if I delay my plan to meet in Tianzhu? ”
Pedilan had been following Mohammed, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and after his march was blocked, Mohammer wanted Adnan's Eastern Expeditionary Army to speed up its march to break the stalemate on the battlefield. Pei Dilan thought that Adnan and the others were slow to move, which affected the entire battle situation, and specially rushed to supervise the battle.
Adnan felt very uncomfortable, and he said patiently: "Your Royal Highness, please explain to Rong Chen." ”
After listening to what Adnan said, Pei Dilan immediately raised a question, he said: "Why didn't the prince of the Tang Dynasty agree to meet on the border line, but ran to Gegemu City so far away, this is unreasonable?" ”
His suspicions were well founded.
If it was Pei Dilan himself, when it was not clear whether the other party was friend or foe, he would never personally go to the other party's sphere of influence, and at most send an envoy to represent him.
If the other party agrees to meet, he will also meet with him at the border to ensure safety. As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, why did he do this, wasn't he afraid of danger?
Adnan was very unhappy with Pei Dilan, and he said: "Your Highness, when the minister first asked the prince of the Tang Dynasty to meet, he tested him, and agreed to meet him with Wohehe, which is within 20 miles of our border.
At that time, the prince of the Tang Dynasty was attending the wedding of the son of the governor of Kabul......"
After he told the process of the meeting between the two parties, he said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that the prince of the Tang Dynasty is still very trustworthy, the Tang Dynasty is a big country, and the reason why he did this must be fearless, and he should really want to have a good relationship with us." ”
The other generals echoed Adnan's opinion.
Adnan and the others knew from Aqimu and Umar's description of Li You that Li You was an amiable person, and now they were arrogant against Pei Dilan, and unconsciously, they had a good impression of the prince of the Tang Dynasty in their hearts.
Pei Dilan was also a little unsure. However, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty's interference in Persia, and his first feeling was to teach the Tang Dynasty people a lesson, otherwise, in the war to conquer Persia after the Great Food Country, he would be greatly restrained by the Tang Dynasty.
He decided to meet Li You in person.
As night fell, the party that greeted Li You stopped camping.
The temperature difference on the Gobi Desert is very large, and the temperature drops significantly shortly after the sun sets.
The soldiers sat on the ground, nibbling on coarse dry food, drinking cold water from water bladders, and resting silently wrapped in blankets.
The Tang soldiers were busy, they unloaded the tents from the wagons, and soon set up tents one after another, enough for all the soldiers to enter.
And that's not even counting the fact that some soldiers were busy by the cooking cart, and soon the smell of food filled the air.
This is still the Gobi Desert, there is no fire in the surroundings, and you can't light a bonfire, but the people of the Tang Dynasty can cook here.
The big cannibals were very envious, and they looked at those Tang Dynasty people one by one, and their saliva couldn't help but flow down.
Azimu and Uma'er are old friends of Li You, and the two of them are invited to dinner with His Royal Highness King Qi.
The white tiger took a bag of candy and said to Umar, "You can take it and distribute it to your soldiers, and then come and eat." ”
"Hey, thank you, sir." Umar took the bag and ran away as fast as she could.
He ran back to the team of the big cannibals, handed the cloth bag to an officer, told him to distribute it, and he ran back quickly, he was not willing to give up the opportunity to share the food with His Royal Highness King Qi.
Many of the Great Food Soldiers had never seen candy, and they didn't know what it was for a while after taking it.
One soldier was the first to put the candy in his mouth, and everyone looked at him in amazement, waiting for him to express his thoughts.
The candy entered his mouth, and the soldier immediately felt a sweet taste that he had never enjoyed before. He swirled hard in his mouth a few times and shouted excitedly, "Sweet, so sweet." ”
The soldiers put the candy in their mouths, and soon there was a chorus of admiration.
Many soldiers were reluctant to eat it all at once, so they spit it out of their mouths and re-wrapped it in candy wrappers, ready to keep it and enjoy it slowly.
The soldiers looked at the Tang soldiers who were enjoying a hot meal, and they couldn't tell what it was like.
The next scene made them feel even more incredible. Degree of literature
