In order to avoid accidental injury, Li You and the others were a little far away, and they could not see the actual situation of the battle on the hill clearly, and everyone could only see the situation of the banner above.

Seeing that the white battle flag had been standing, and that the incense used to calculate time had burned out, the big cannibal suddenly cheered.

"Won, we won. Long live Allah!"

"Hooray!"

Seeing the victory of his troops, the commander of the Khorasan cavalry, Alio, excitedly rushed to the top of the hill, and many of the great generals rushed with him, who wanted to taste the fruits of the victory themselves.

Pei Dilan saw that his pro-army had won, and he felt a burst of pride in his heart, and said in his heart: "When it comes to literature and other knowledge, the people of the Tang Dynasty still have some skills, but when it comes to military strength, I am still invincible in the world in the Great Food Empire."

No matter how prosperous and rich your Tang Dynasty is, and it is useless, as soon as my army arrives, everything you have is not mine?! ”

He said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "The equipment of your Tang Army is really very good, but the quality of this army needs to be improved." ”

Adnan was also very proud in his heart, however, he had a good impression of Li You, in order to avoid Li You's embarrassment, he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi doesn't have to mind, didn't you say in the book of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and a defeat is nothing." ”

Li You smiled at his kindness.

Since Pei Dilan came, Azimu wanted to hug his thighs, he had been thinking about his thoughts, he knew what Pei Dilan wanted to do most now, he proposed: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Lord Governor, my lords, why don't you go to the battlefield to have a look, and summarize and comment on this competition?" ”

Pei Dilan was excited, and he said, "General Azimu's suggestion makes sense. ”

Li You said lightly: "Okay, let's take a look." ”

Adnan also wanted to go, but he was worried about Li You's embarrassment, and when he saw that Li You agreed, he happily said, "Okay, then let's go and have a look." ”

Soon after, everyone came to the brick kiln, and the first thing they saw was the corpses everywhere, especially around the battle flag, most of which were large cannibals.

The condition of many corpses was very ugly, and some of them were split in half, and you don't need to guess to know that it was caused by the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, everyone saw that many wounded people were bandaging their wounds, whether they were Tang Dynasty people or big cannibals, but the Tang soldiers were responsible for bandaging their wounds.

Seeing that Peidilan and the others were coming, Ario walked over with the commander of the Khorasan cavalry who commanded the battle with an embarrassed face.

Looking at the commander who was bandaged like a dumpling, Adnan already felt that something was wrong, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The commander glanced at Li You, a little ashamed, and a little regretful shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, the Tang Dynasty people have won. ”

He then reported on the results of the battle.

In this battle, the Tang Dynasty killed 19 people and wounded 31 people, the Great Cannibals killed 47 people and wounded 42 people, and only 9 people were intact. If it were on a real battlefield, the Great Cannibals would have been wiped out.

The people of the Tang Dynasty not only saved face for the big cannibals, but also treated many wounded people who were big cannibals.

Adnan and the others were embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Li You called over to the military doctor of the Flying Tiger Army and said to him, "You go and get some knife wound medicine and give it to those wounded Dashi soldiers."

Hey, let's just do it, you can be with those big food wounded for the next few days and help them heal. ”

Ario already knew that the Tang Army had shown mercy to his subordinates and helped treat his wounded, and now people still cared so much about them, and Ario, as their commander, expressed his gratitude to Li You.

Adnan also expressed his gratitude to Li You, and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, leave the affairs here to your subordinates, let's go back to the General's Mansion and officially start talks." ”

In the wilderness north of Kabul, smoke and dust billowed from the wilderness.

Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui led the Flying Tiger Army, desperately rushing non-stop.

Zhang Guigui was so anxious that blisters had already appeared on his mouth, and he shouted while galloping his horse, urging the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army to speed up their march.

Seeing Zhang Guigui's anxious appearance, Xue Rengui comforted him and said, "Master Zhang, don't be too anxious. Since the prince dares to go, he must be sure, don't you believe in the wisdom of the prince?

The border was full of Persian Iron Guards, and the Persian officer who had fled, he did not have a token of the Doge's Palace, and if he was met by the Iron Guard's rangers, he would have been detained. Therefore, he must not dare to rush during the day, and will wait until night or make a detour to cross the border.

We have every time to get ahead of him. ”

After listening to Xue Rengui's words, Zhang Guigui felt a lot better, but he still hurried desperately.

After more than a month of rapid marching, the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Army have been extremely tired, especially in the past few days, they have maintained a state of high-speed marching, and they have long been exhausted.

After arriving in Kabul City, the Flying Tiger Army did not have a short rest, and immediately entered a state of rapid marching again, even though the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army had strong bodies, there were still many people who could not bear it.

Along the way, there were soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army who fell from their horses, and there were also war horses that kept falling due to physical exhaustion.

However, all this did not affect the speed of the Flying Tigers' advance in the slightest.

As Xue Rengui had predicted, the Persian officer, after stabbing Abu Hassan's son Altai, fled Kabul for fear of accountability.

Knowing that Abu Hassan would definitely send someone to hunt him down, he fled out of the city and fled to a forest outside the city, relying on his familiarity with the terrain.

He sat on a large rock next to a stream, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He himself is an excellent young man with both civil and military skills, he has liked the daughter of a rich merchant Palmis for a long time, and Palmis also has a good impression of him, but his father is just an ordinary official in the governor's palace, according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, he is a seven-grade official.

His father, in order to avoid offending the Doge, tried to prevent him from pursuing Palmis. Palmis's father also forbade his daughter to associate with him in order to cling to the powerful.

Young people tend to be rebellious, and the more resistance there is, the more he wants to chase Palmis. But the sudden wedding shattered his dream, he saw Altai on the street, got into a verbal altercation with him, and on the spur of the moment, stabbed Altai.

He regretted his impulsiveness a little, but it was too late to say anything. He carefully considered his future path.

He thought that he would not be able to return to Kabul, and that there was no place for him in all of Persia. He had to look elsewhere for a way out.

His father, who worked in the governor's palace, knew very well about the transactions between the Tang Dynasty and Persia, and he was also a city gate official, thinking of the situation when the Persian Iron Guards pretended to be the Tang army to enter the city, he suddenly discovered the secret between the Tang Dynasty and Hamid.

He thought that if he could tell the big cannibal this important information, he would definitely be appreciated by the big cannibal, and when the time came, he helped the big cannibal occupy Kabul, and with the help of the power of the big cannibal, was he afraid that he would not be able to recapture his beloved Palmis?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and decided to wait until night and secretly flee to the country of Turro to find the Great Cannibal messenger.

Thinking of this, he picked up a stone and threw it into the water. Looking at the splash, he clenched his fists and said, "Dear Palmis, you wait for me. I will definitely marry you. ”

Gegemu City.

After Li You and the others returned to the city, the big cannibals were about to eat, and Adnan invited Li You and the others to the General's Mansion to dine together.

Li You excused himself, and he said: "Our soldiers also have a lot of casualties, I will deal with them, and I suggest that the matter of the meeting be postponed until noon." ”

The outcome of today's battle was beyond Adnan and the others' expectations, and they also needed time to deliberate. Li You is not in a hurry, just let them discuss it.

Adnan and the others agreed, and the two sides parted ways and left.

In fact, this battle left a deep impression on Li You, although the cannibal equipment was not as good as the Tang Army, but the fighting spirit was not inferior to the Tang Army. The commander of the Great Cannibal, with a clear goal, a sense of the overall situation, and the determination to make any sacrifice in order to win the victory, such a quality made Li You deeply worried.

Li You was unwilling to start a war with the Great Cannibals, and if he fought against such a stubborn army, the Tang Dynasty would pay a heavy price regardless of victory or defeat.

General's Palace.

The meal was opened, and the dishes were still rich, but Adnan and the others were all in low spirits and had no appetite.

Arrio, the commander of the Khorasan cavalry, said ashamedly: "Your Royal Highness, the minister is incompetent and has disgraced the Great Food Empire, please punish Your Highness." ”

The combat effectiveness of the Khorasan cavalry, Prince Peidilan is still clear, there is no skill in this battle, the two sides are completely hard-hitting, and the combat effectiveness of the Tang army makes him feel a little frustrated.

He waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you for this, you go down first." ”

After a few days of contact with the Tang people, Adnan did not have the confidence that he had in other countries to win in the war with the Tang people, and he was subconsciously unwilling to fight the Tang people.

He asked, "Your Royal Highness, how do you think you should negotiate with the people of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Prince Pei Dilan also hesitated, the Tang Dynasty was too huge, so far, whether it is the land area, the number of people, the economy and culture, and the military, it is not comparable to the Great Food Empire.

Prince Pedilan is here to make a contribution, so he can't defeat the battle, which will affect his reputation.

He was caught in a dilemma.

The war in the south is not going well at the moment, and the Southern Expeditionary Army is in a stalemate in Persia, and it is urgent for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to attack Kabul and then move south to break the stalemate.

However, there are powerful Tang Dynasty people in front of him, if they attack Kabul, they will inevitably have a war with the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty people, together with the strength of the Persians, will even destroy the results achieved by the Great Food Empire in Persia.

He could not and was not willing to make decisions in this matter, which was a great responsibility, and he decided to send someone to ask his father for instructions.

After all, Peidilan is a prince and has a high level of political wisdom. He guessed that Li You was even more reluctant to fight, and Li You risked his life to come here to negotiate peace, which showed that the Tang Dynasty people were afraid of the Great Cannibal, and in this case, he could put pressure on the Tang Dynasty people to get more benefits.

Pei Dilan's determination was made. "My opinion is to tell what's going on here," he said

Damascus report, decided by His Majesty the Caliphate.

Let's talk to the people of the Tang Dynasty, ask for the sky, pay back the money on the spot, and strive for more benefits. ”

Subsequently, the group discussed the strategy of negotiating with the Tang Dynasty.
