The Mesopotamian Plain (Iraq) between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Western Asia is famous, where the regular flooding of the two rivers causes floods, but it brings fertile soil suitable for agriculture along the two rivers and forms a granary. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The White Eaters occupy the valley of the two rivers and provide them with plenty of food, without which they would go into starvation.

It is conceivable that once the Zhou army attacks this area, it will be a big shock to the white-clothed food!

Not only did it cut off its grain routes, but once it entered the region, further west, it was Shillia, the core of the Arab Empire, the capital Damascus!

The shock of the Arabs is still a matter of the future, and now Wei Xi's battle attempt has already shaken the generals.

"We approached the two river valleys with 50,000 cavalry, and carried out a strategy of harassment and destruction?!" Everyone is excited about this, but also worried.

How to say it, now even the wooden deer in Central Asia has not been defeated (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan), and Isfahan in West Asia has not been controlled (Iran), so it has fought all the way west to the two river basins (Iraq), these three areas are very vast, and 50,000 cavalry are thrown down, just like sprinkling salt in a river, and there is no shadow!

How many enemies there are and what kind of situation they will encounter, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, they fall into anxiety, their anger rises, and they frequently drink the tea in the tent, so that the orderly soldiers are diligent in pouring tea and delivering water.

"Are you scared?" Wei Xi said hesitantly.

Everyone smiled bitterly in their hearts: "It's really a little scared!" ”

Shi Wanchao stood up and said: "With the general leading us, we are not afraid, we will win!" ”

This is true, and everyone is convinced.

Wei Xi led them from victory to victory, and his prestige was extremely high, and everyone blindly obeyed him, even if he said that the sun would rise in the west, I was afraid that many people would still believe it!

"Okay, I know you're worried, Chief of Staff, let's talk about it!" Wei Xi instructed Jiang Zhidao.

Jiang Zhi then told everyone: "Our troops have not suffered much losses, the integrity of the horses is high, and the supply is also very effective, so it can be said that the people are strong and the horses are strong!" ”

"Coupled with the army rectification movement a few days ago, everyone's thinking has been unified, even if it is to kill chickens, use a knife, there is no hidden danger, and morale is high, there is a tiger in front of us, we can also kill it!"

The words of the chief of staff reached everyone's hearts, and everyone nodded frequently.

"We have such capital, why don't we make a bigger record!"

"The attack on the two river valleys is of great significance, and it can be said to play a great role in encouraging the entire Western Expeditionary Army, and our merits will be transmitted back to the Shendu, and your Majesty and subjects will know our merits!"

He changed his words and said: "We are puffed up, but we are frustrated with the big cannibals, isn't the wooden deer stubbornly guarded?" We will show them what they have captured, let them know that everything they have done is in vain, think about their mentality! ”

Everyone had a smile on their faces, and the tall Shi Wanchao stood up, waved his fist and shouted: "Fight the two river valleys, and pay tribute to Your Majesty and the gods!" ”

I didn't expect this guy to shout slogans, and everyone looked at him with admiration.

Jiang Zhi's mobilization was very successful, and everyone knew that the greater the risk, the more gains, and that it was necessary to take an unusual path!

Don't go under the command of the general if you are afraid of death, hurry up and go to Princess Taiping, where she recruits people, farmers and shepherds to ensure safety!

……

So convey the spirit of the meeting and reorganize the team. (Wei Xi's great heaven / dynasty characteristics are gradually carried forward)

From top to bottom, the mentality is unified, although it is not easy to go to the two river basins, but the soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, even if there are knives in the sky, military orders must be rushed!

What's more, he followed General Wei, he has never been defeated!

I don't have to say, let's do it.

In the cavalry troops, in addition to the regular army, there are also a large number of tribal armies, which are not violated.

The officers inspected their outfits, and in addition to the necessary uniforms, armor, weapons, provisions, and supplies, the sergeants carried some gold and silver with them just in case (they could be used as road money to bribe the locals if they were separated from the large army), but bulky personal belongings were exempted, and only personal items weighing less than two pounds were allowed.

We have a bank!

The officers and men happily wrote down the bank slips, handed them over to the bank clerks to take away the goods they had obtained, and went into battle lightly.

……

Wei Xi's cavalry brigade, which had concentrated 50,000 troops, marched westward, with one man and five horses, and discharged a wide frontal march, with a speed of one hundred and fifty miles a day, but there was no large-scale engagement with the Qasim troops sent by Damascus, and there were minor frictions.

Thanks to a good map that clarifies the direction of the road, and with the help of the reconnaissance troops, the horses are also fast, constantly correcting the direction and position, and avoiding a major battle with Qasim's troops.

Sweep along the way, kill enemy scouts, and loot gold, silver, jewelry, livestock, and supplies.

At the same time, the harvested heavy materials and even copper coins, grain and grass and other valuable goods were distributed to the local poor!

These things can't be taken away, it's a pity to destroy or burn them, it's better to share the floating wealth after beating the local tyrants.

The army of Wexi went south, to the Persian Gulf, and then west, while the army of Qasim set out from Baghdad, and the two forces passed exactly parallel, and by the time Qasim reached Isfahan, his strength had increased to 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry, and then the defeat of the returning Rashid.

"You follow the Supreme Caliph, you are all old in battle, how can you still fall for such an enemy's tricks!" Qasim was dissatisfied.

"The Tang people are very arrogant, and I estimate that the value of the goods they discard is close to their millions, so ......," Rashid said dejectedly.

Hearing that so much money was lost, Kasim's face cramped, and his subordinates all gasped.

In other words, they can't resist such temptation.

Millions of dollars!

"Their morale is very high and their fighting power is very strong!" Rashid still had lingering palpitations when he said it, and if it weren't for his own soldiers fighting to protect each other, he would hardly be able to get out.

He showed a long arrow taken from the shoulders of his own soldiers, and the craftsmanship was very exquisite.

was talking about the affairs of the Tang Army, only to see the sergeant break into the tent in a panic and report: "Report to the general, the Tang people have defeated Basra!" ”

Suddenly, Qasim felt like he had been slapped with a slap, and he felt like he was out of breath!

This time it's troublesome!

The Great Cannibals reconnoitred the intelligence of the Tang army was very chaotic, first, they were wreaking havoc in the Isfahan area, second, there were troops out of the two river valleys, and third, the Tang army appeared in Lake Namac (north of Isfahan, three hundred miles from the Caspian Sea) and Shiraz (the southern boundary of Isfahan).
