Chapter 528: The Land of the Tang Dynasty
The gate of Damascus was piled up with a lot of sandbags, and the gate had not been cleared out not long after the Tang army entered the city, so Harold and Hemar could not enter the city of Damascus through the gate.
In fact, this was also specially arranged by Hou Junji, who wanted to set up obstacles for Harold and Hemar's troops to enter Damascus.
Harold and Hemar climbed into the city of Damascus from a ladder, and there were only a few people with them, and their momentum weakened a lot first.
Hou Junji did not meet them in the palace, but in an ordinary courtyard.
From these two events, Harold and Hemar felt that things might not go so smoothly today, and then they saw the scene they least wanted to see, and the person they least wanted to seeβDramb.
One of the main goals of Harold and Hemar's father-killer was to kill Dramb and avenge Harry Sr.
However, Delamb stood majestically next to Hou Junji.
Things have come to this point, and Delamb has no choice but to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and now he can only rely on Hou Junji.
Hou Junji promised to procure him to the emperor as the prince of the county, and promised him that in the area he had previously ruled, the Syrian region would be retained in the form of an autonomous region, and he would still be the first commander of the autonomous region.
Before Hou Junji set out on the expedition, Li Su did not ask him to conquer the entire Arab Empire, but only asked him to consume their strength, retain the tripartite forces, and make them unable to pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty has just laid down the entire Southeast Asia and South Asia, as well as Tibet, there are not so many immigrants to assimilate, the Arab region is too large, the population is too large, and the religious color is too serious, it is very difficult to carry out Sinicization education.
Genghis Khan, with a mere million Mongols, once built a huge empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, but in less than a hundred years, it disappeared.
The current situation of the Tang Dynasty is not much better than the situation faced by Genghis Khan, over the years, the Tang Dynasty has expanded its territory, and the population of the newly conquered areas has passed the population of the Han nation, and it has been very difficult to assimilate.
Hou Junji is a god-level figure in military affairs, but he is relatively lacking in political wisdom.
Li Su was worried that Hou Junji would be overjoyed, so he specially explained to him before Hou Junji set out on the expedition.
The enemy was very red when he saw him.
When Harold and Hemar saw Derlamb, they immediately became furious, and they drew their swords and came to kill Derlambb.
Gao Xianzhi and the Tang generals present hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
Harold said with red eyes: "General Hou, why are you protecting this traitor? β
Hemar also said angrily: "General Hou, please hand him over, we will avenge the murder of our father." β
Hou Junji said: "He is not a traitor, he has now joined the Tang Dynasty and is a loyal courtier of the Tang Dynasty." Except for the Tang Empire, no one could dispose of him. β
Harold was anxious and said angrily: "General Hou, do you have to protect this traitor and go against us?" β
Hou Junji said: "I have already said that he is now a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and I am a soldier of the Tang Empire, and I have the responsibility to protect him." Therefore, I will not allow anyone to harm him. β
Harold said, "Do you want to go to war with us for the sake of such a traitor?" β
Hou Junji said with a smile: "The Tang Empire has never been afraid of anyone's threats, if you want to go to war, Hou will accompany you at any time." β
Hemar was relatively calm, he saw Hou Junji's attitude, and knew that the matter was irreparable, and what he cared about now was that he could get the benefits agreed in advance.
He said: "In that case, I will not mention this matter for the time being. General Hou, please open the city gates and let our troops enter the city. β
Hou Junji shook his head and said: "This is impossible, Damascus is now the territory of the Tang Empire, how can foreign troops be allowed to enter?" β
Harold said: "General Hou, why don't you talk about credibility, we agreed in advance that the eastern and northern districts of Damascus belong to me and Hemar. I ask you to honour your agreement to hand over to us the northern and eastern districts of Damascus. β
Hou Junji said: "We had an agreement before, but that means that we occupied Damascus controlled by the enemy.
Now it's different, before we occupy, Delamb knew the righteousness, and he had already led his subjects here to join the Tang Empire.
I am just a courtier of Datang, and I have no right to grant the land of Datang to others without permission, which is treason for me!
I also ask your Royal Highnesses to be considerate of my difficulties. Here, Hou thanked me. β
As he spoke, Hou Junji bowed to them.
Harold was anxious, he pointed to Hou Junji's nose and said, "Hou Junji, you are a villain, you go back on your word, and you want to be shameless?" β
Hou Junji heard that he was not inferior, and immediately lowered his face and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please be cautious." β
In the room, the generals of the Tang Dynasty all held the hilt of their swords one by one and glared at Harold angrily.
Hemar knew that it was already impossible to get into Damascus. What he is worried about now is that Hou Junji will turn his face and detain him and Harold.
He said: "General Hou, since this is the case, we will not enter Damascus, and we will take our leave." β
When Hou Junji heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said earnestly: "Your Royal Highnesses the two princes, I have asked people to prepare a sumptuous banquet, let's have a few drinks together." β
Harold also came back to his senses now, and he said: "General Hou, I still have important things to deal with in the army, so I'll invite General Hou another day." β
Speaking of this, he deliberately said: "When we arrive in Chang'an, my sister Princess Xina and I will have a banquet for General Hou." β
He is now also worried that Hou Junji will turn his face, and mentioning Sheena will make Hou Junji have some scruples.
Hou Junji said regretfully: "The two princes, it's a pity that it's rare to come as a guest, since it's inconvenient for the two to stay, Hou is no longer reluctant, send off the guest." β
Harold and Hemar saluted and hurried away.
Seeing them go out, Gao Xianzhi said: "Dashuai, why don't you just detain them, detain them, the Arab crowd is long, our army in Damascus has 5o people, plus the Arab army in Delamb, we can completely defeat their army in one fell swoop, in this way, we can completely weaken their strength." β
Drambu was eager to get rid of Harold and Hemar, and he said: "Marshal, if there is a war with them, I am willing to be the vanguard of the Don army." β
