"Yo, Your Highness is back."

In the study room of the Ganlu Palace, Zhang Cambodia and Di Renjie were chatting with each other, when they suddenly found that Li Xian had walked in from the screen, and they were busy getting up to salute.

"Excuse me, please sit down."

Li Xian's expression was indifferent, he couldn't see that he was very happy or angry, strode to the top and sat down, pressed his hand, and signaled that the two of them didn't need to be polite.

"Your Highness, what is the outcome of today's discussion?"

Zhang Cambodia is in a hurry, and he has been by Li Xian's side for a long time, so he has few scruples, and as soon as Bu sat down, he immediately opened his mouth to ask for details.

"It has been decided, Pei Xingjian is in charge, and Xue Rengui is the second, this is expected, and it is not surprising, but the queen mother's proposal to cultivate reserve talents in Beijing makes the palace quite puzzled, well, this matter is like this......"

In today's discussion, Li Xian not only stopped Empress Wu's attempt to take charge of military affairs, but also thwarted the possibility of King Yue trying to take advantage of the opportunity to seize military power, and successfully pushed Pei Xingjian to the position of commander, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a complete victory, but Li Xian did not feel very happy, the key is that he failed to understand the intention of the Empress Wu's final arrival.

"Your Highness, the old minister thinks that Niangniang's move should have only one purpose, that is, to cultivate party henchmen, lay out the army, and try in vain to confront His Highness, but it's not a matter of worry!"

As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Zhang Cambodia couldn't help but sneer, and pointed out the intentions of the Empress Wu to the point.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that what Brother Meng said is very true, this is just digging a spring out of thirst, even if there is a gain, it is not too much, it is better to stir it up, as long as the Persian army can return smoothly, everything is under control, and there is no need to worry too much."

Di Renjie's opinion is obviously the same as that of Zhang Cambodia, and he doesn't think that the Empress Wu's move can make much waves.

"It's not that simple, this palace is not afraid of the queen mother's placement of henchmen, what I am worried about is that it will transfer the elite from the front-line armies to the Beijing division, once this happens, the consequences are still difficult to predict."

Li Xian is a military general, and his military sensitivity is higher than that of the two wise men, and he does not take the judgment of the two seriously, but puts forward another relatively grim possibility.

"That's okay, why doesn't Your Highness just calculate it?"

As soon as he saw the look of worry flashing in Li Xian's eyes, Zhang Khan Zhishi laughed, high-fived, and gave a solution.

"Will it be calculated? Well, okay, then do it, this palace will find a few rising stars for the queen mother to woo over! ”

Li Xian was a shrewd person, and as soon as he heard what Zhang Khan said, he immediately had an idea, and quickly passed the generals in the north in his heart, and he already had a decision in his heart......

In early spring and February, when the spring flowers bloomed, everything recovered, the grass in the suburbs of Persepolis was green and red, and the earth was dressed up as extraordinarily enchanting, but the Persian king Ninishi had no intention of appreciating it, looking at the columns of ** soldiers who were ready to open in front of him, tears could not stop flowing.

"General Lin, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang......"

Ninishi waved his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face, and tried to say some parting and precious words to Lin Chengbin who was standing beside him, but before the words came out, a burst of sadness rolled up, and he was already choked and couldn't go on.

"King of Persia take care, there will be a period later!"

Farewell is imminent, Lin Chengbin can't help but feel sad in his heart, but what should be said has already been said, at this time, Lin Chengbin really doesn't want to be a child and daughter anymore, bowed down and made a military salute, strode to the front of the queue, stretched out his hand to take the reins of the horse handed over by the guard, and lifted his waist, he had already turned over on the horse's back.

"General, you are gone, what should I do with the millions of people of Persia, General!"

As soon as he saw that Lin Chengbin was leaving, Ninishi could no longer control his nerves that were almost collapsed, staggered to the side of the war horse, grabbed the reins of the horse, and wailed bitterly.

"If there is a catastrophe in the future, the king of Persia will fight if he can, if he can't, he will retreat to Broken Leaf City, with my strong army of the Tang Dynasty, he should be able to keep the prince safe, and he will leave!"

The time for the departure of the army is approaching, even if Lin Chengbin can't bear it in his heart, he can only shake the reins of the horse, flick away the hand of the Ni Ni Master, and some words insincerely appease him, and then, regardless of how ugly the Ni Ni Shi's face is, he waved his hand and gave an order: "The whole army listens to the order and goes!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

As soon as the order was given, the terrible horn sound in the ** array was loud, and tens of thousands of soldiers who had been on call for a long time raised their whips together, and the smoke and dust were rising, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and the dust was flying, and it would not be long before they were far away.

"Heaven wants to kill me, God wants to kill me, alas, ......"

Looking at the ** brigade that was gradually moving away, the mud master wailed, the look of beating his chest was really like a mourning exam, although the people around him were accompanied by tears, but what they thought in their hearts, only God could know......

Mosul, which means connecting point in Arabic, its old city is located more than 300 kilometers north of Baghdad, the capital of present-day Iraq, and has been an important town on the Silk Road since the Eastern Han Dynasty, an important town that must pass through Asia Minor into the Persian Gulf, and is also the capital of the eastern province of the Great Food Empire.

Because of the habits of the nomads, the city of Mosul was not prosperous in the past, and the population was not too much, that is, about 10,000 people, but since the battle in the Surhan River Valley last year, this city has become the center of the entire Great Food Empire, not only more than 200,000 troops gathered here, Caliph Mu'awiyya ibn Abi Sufyan moved the palace to this city, in order to command the nearest command to resist the best possible attack, stunned to turn the entire city into a huge military camp, and various fortifications inside and outside the city are dotted, followed by the noise and hustle and bustle, both inside and outside the city, it is so, even if it is the former Oriental Provincial Governor's Mansion that has been changed into a palace, there are no exceptions, but today's Governor's Mansion Chamber is a strange quiet, not no one is there, in fact, the huge chamber is full of people, not only the caliph himself is here, but there are as many as 40 civil and military ministers standing on both sides, but everyone is all standing with solemn faces, no one has ever spoken, It's just that there is a faint look of expectation in everyone's eyes.

"Reported, ** has evacuated Persepolis and is moving towards the Buha River, the journey is extremely fast, and it is expected to reach the mouth of the old river in three days."

Waiting and waiting, in the strange silence, a rush of footsteps suddenly became louder, but I saw a dusty sentry break in from outside the hall, hurriedly rushed to the throne, one knee to the ground, hand to the chest, and said in a hurried tone.

"Buzz ......"

After a long wait, finally waiting for the expected news, the high-ranking officials present couldn't help but burst into a private discussion, and for a while, the noisy sound in the hall became a whole.

"Ahem."

In the face of the impolite behavior of the officials, although Mu'awiyya ibn Abi Sufyan did not reprimand, his brows furrowed slightly, and he coughed twice, which can be regarded as suppressing the private discussion of the people.

"Venerable Caliph, the Tang thieves have been scurrying, the last general thinks that it is not to be lightly indulged, my three-way army will be sent together, and the Tang thieves will be completely annihilated, and the last general is willing to ask for his life to be the vanguard!"

As soon as the officials calmed down, they saw a burly general flashing out from the side, and it turned out to be Vya Abu Muslim, who was known as the first brave man of the Great Food Empire, but when they saw him standing proudly in front of the hall, he loudly issued a declaration asking for war.

"Venerable Caliph, the last general thinks that what General Muslim said is very true, and the extermination of Tang Kou is at this time!"

"Your Majesty, the last general seconded the proposal."

"Please give the order of the caliph, and the last general will lead his troops to suppress the thieves!"

……

Vya Abu Muslim had a very high prestige in the army, and as soon as he came out, a large number of his followers followed him to second, and for a time the council hall was full of shouts and shouts of killing.

"Well, what do I think?"

Mu'awiyya ibn Abi Sufyan did not give instructions to the generals' request for battle, but quietly pressed his hand, signaled the generals to be quiet, and then turned his gaze to Yazid ibn Abu, who was standing at the head of the courtiers, and after a short silence, he asked in a flat voice.

"Back to his father's words, the child thought that this war was ready to fly, and had to be sent, and there were four reasons: first, peace has never been able to fight, not to negotiate, as far as the child went to the Tang Dynasty this time, the country is still martial, is a warlike country, and the reason why he is returning to the division today is not because of a peace treaty with our country, but because there is a war around the country, and there is no power to look west for the time being. Second, although the Tang Dynasty is strong, there is no second army that can be compared with the current one, this army is the private army of the prince of the country, and the destruction of it can not only frustrate the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, but also plunder its skilled craftsmen for my use, if we can establish a firearms army in the same way, with the courage of my Great Food Empire, why not fear the Tang Dynasty to retaliate again; Third, the Tang Emperor is weak and incompetent, and the political dispute between the prince and the queen in the country is fierce, if this department can be destroyed, the prince of the country will suffer a heavy setback, once it is weak, it will be violently attacked and killed by his mother, even if he has the heart, he is not able to come to me again; Fourth, the reality has been in my hands, the department has no possibility of backup, surrounded by our army, the whole army will be annihilated, with these four points, our army will win! Please give the order of the father, the child is willing to fight to the death in order to achieve full success! ”

Yazid ibn Abu was originally an extremely confident person, coupled with the guidance of the military intelligence that the Tang officials deliberately used, and the firm belief that the war would be won.

"Well, good! Go, sprinkle the glory of the true God all over the desert, and glorify the prestige of my great food! ”

Since Yazid ibn Abu returned last year, Mu'awiyya ibn Abi Sufyan's father and son had discussed many times, and they had already reached a consensus, and this performance was just to inspire the soldiers of the various ministries......
