Li You said, "I'm going to meet Adnan. ”

When Bai Hu heard this, he was anxious, and he said, "Lord Wang, this is not good, it is too dangerous. ”

Qualcomm and Mi Huai immediately objected.

Abhassan's opinion of Li You was originally not particularly respectful. He is 40 years old and has experienced too many ups and downs, and it is difficult for him to admire a 20-year-old young man from his heart.

After the incident of hiding from the world and crossing the sea, he began to have confidence in Li You, and at this moment, he saw that Li You was so bold, and he had some respect for him.

He said: "This is a good way, with the appearance of the noble prince of the Tang Dynasty, the great cannibals will not doubt the authenticity of the appearance of the Tang Dynasty army this morning."

If His Royal Highness, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, met with Adnan in person and made the position of the Tang Dynasty clear, for Adnan, this matter would be a matter involving the countries of the Great Food Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty.

Adnan would not dare to call the shots, and would send someone to Damascus to ask their caliph (king) for instructions, and this time and again, it would take at least two months. This bought time for the arrival of the Tang army. ”

Abu Hassan had no affection for Li You, and although he now had some good feelings for Li You, for the benefit of the Persian Empire, he hoped that Li You would take the risk of doing it.

From the Western Regions to Kabul, Gasif had been in contact with Li You for a relatively long time, and he still had a good impression of the Tang Dynasty prince's talking, but he also hoped that Li You could block the attack of the big cannibals, so he kept silent.

Hamid is different, he and Li You are brothers in life and death, and he never wants Li You to be in danger.

As mentioned earlier, the Arabs generally gave three choices to the conquered countries and peoples, and gave a certain degree of preferential treatment to those countries and peoples that surrendered to them. But it was cruel to the Persians.

Historically, after the Arab conquest of the Persian Empire, the Persians were regarded as untouchables without the slightest political status, and most of the Persians became slaves of the Arabs.

There are historical roots to doing so. During the long period of rule of the Persian Empire, the Arabs have been deeply oppressed by the Persians, and they have a deep hatred for the Persians from the bottom of their bones.

The rise of the Arab Empire was largely the result of the Persians' brutal oppression of them, and they rose up against them when there was no way to live.

What Li You is doing now is to openly protect the Persians, that is, to make enemies of the Great Cannibals, which will provoke their hatred. Li You went to negotiate with the big cannibal, which was very risky.

Hamid shook his head and said, "Lao Li, your idea is good, but I suggest that you send someone to deliver a letter to Adnan, you don't need to be in danger." ”

Li You said: "No, the Great Cannibals are now in a state of frenzy for conquest and expansion, Adnan and the other generals of the Great Food Nation are competing with each other, and they will not be willing to stop their attack."

In the past, they would not have cared if they had written a letter, and they might even pretend that they could not receive the letter and march directly to Kabul. That would be self-defeating. ”

"But......" Hamid hesitated.

Li You continued: "Only I go in person, they will be a little jealous of a prince of the Tang Dynasty, after I personally interviewed them, it represents the formal attitude of the Tang Dynasty, and they will definitely weigh the risk of war with the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li You also has a certain degree of certainty in doing this.

There have been many wars between the Arabs and the Tang Dynasty in history, but at that time the Persian Empire had fallen, the Byzantine Empire had begun to weaken, and the Arabs had established a powerful unified empire, and the national strength even surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty.

Now the Arabs are just emerging, and they are under a lot of pressure in the face of the two great powers, the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire. If you start a war with the Tang Empire at the same time, then you will be at war with the three largest powers in the world in this era at the same time. The appetite is a little too big, and their ruling class should not want to see this outcome.

However, there is still a certain risk in this matter.

As mentioned above, the Arabs are expanding wildly, and their unique system of rewarding military merit drives those generals to attack frantically. In case Adnan is a reckless guy who doesn't see the big picture, Li You will most likely be killed by him or taken hostage.

However, under the current conditions, Li You can only take a risk.

After listening to Li You's analysis, Hamid and others also felt that this was the only feasible way at present.

However, everyone was still worried about him, and they persuaded Li You to think twice.

Li You said firmly: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, let's talk about the next step." ”

Mihuai, Abu Hassan, and Ghasif began to admire Li You's courage.

That night, in a valley northwest of Kabul, under a leeward cliff, behind a herd of war horses, Umar and others spent the night here.

The life of the rangers was very difficult, especially when they were on reconnaissance missions, and in order to avoid exposing their targets, they usually did not light fires, but ate dry and hard cakes with cold water during the day, and spent the night in a leeward place at night.

In Kabul in early spring, the night was still cold, and Umar and others were huddled together to keep each other warm.

Umar had long been accustomed to the hardships of war conditions, and no matter what the circumstances around him, he would always lie down and fall asleep.

He hadn't dreamed in a long time. It was strange tonight that he dared to dream of the river in his hometown. On the side of the little wooden bridge there was an adobe house, and there lived a beautiful girl, a few years older than him.

He was only 12 years old when he left his hometown, but he liked the girl very much, and would secretly visit her when he had time. If nothing else, I just like to see her.

At this moment, the figure of the beautiful girl appeared in front of Uma'er's eyes, with big eyes, a beautiful nose, white teeth, and a face that looked a little black, but very smooth.

At this time, the girl was washing clothes by the creek with her back to him. Umar wanted to see her face, so he walked towards her.

He walked behind her, and the girl was still concentrating on her laundry, not hearing footsteps behind her.

Umar picked up a stone and prepared to throw it into the river in front of her to attract her attention.

Umar raised his hand and was about to throw the stone when a roar from behind him rang out from behind him from the girl's father.

"Enemy attack, it's the Persians, ah......" someone cried out in horror.

Umar woke up from his dream, and there was no beautiful girl in front of him, nor the strict father of the girl.

In the bright moonlight, a large number of Persians rushed up with swords and spears.
