Section 680 The Prince's Revenge (1)
Shi Wanchao ran all the way with the remnants and Sun Sanlang's body bag, and the other party chased after him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What surprised him was that the enemy was very experienced, he fought many times, but he couldn't get out, and his brothers around him fought less and less, and he was also injured.
It is by no means comparable to ordinary enemies, and great doubts arise in his mind, what is the other party doing?
Yes, the Western visitors who can pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty are the white-clothed ----- Umayyad army!
It all started last year.
……
The weather was cold, the wilderness was snow-white, and even the bravest Tang army did not move, and the country of Kang was a little angry because there was no threat from the Tang army.
The Kang people opened the west gate, but a fortress was still set up at the gate and a garrison was set up to prevent the Tang cavalry from clashes.
On the edge of the fort, a group of people traveled, among which two young Lits were saying goodbye.
They were well-rounded, young and handsome, one richly dressed with a glittering belt (the Lits liked to wear a belt full of ornaments), and the other was simply dressed in a brownish-black leather with no ornaments, but the first glance of the goods knew that it was a rare crocodile.
The luxurious one is Akara, the prince of Kang, and the simple one is the prince of the stone prince, Ishimi.
Akara said: "Brother go all the way!" "Don't worry, I'll be back with reinforcements!" Iwami swears that he is authentic.
The two hugged each other, and Iwami got on his horse, left with the guards, and headed west.
Shi Jianming's Shi country was the first to be broken by the Tang army, and the people became slaves, and the wealth was robbed of the Tang people who turned into robbers.
At that time, Shi Jianming was in Kangguo, and the Tang army was besieging the city, and Shi Jianming saw the majesty of the Tang army on the city wall, and realized that relying on the strength of the Zhaowu countries, he could not drive away this group of eastern bandits.
The only thing that can fight against Datang is Dashi!
Iwami Ming is by no means a flower in a greenhouse, he once went to the white-clothed food in the West with a caravan, and knows that the big food is strong and should be able to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
……
During the Tang Dynasty, the white clothes and food were located in the middle of Asia and Europa, and the official name was the Umayyad Dynasty, which was the first hereditary dynasty of the Arab Empire.
The Umayyad Dynasty was the most powerful of the 12 tribes of the Quraish tribe of the Arab nobles in Mecca.
Rising in 661 CE (now 690 AD), successive rulers were determined to reach a peak of conquest, reaching their greatest extent as far east as Central Asia and west as far west as Spain.
Its aggressive expansion led to the capture of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, in 664 AD, and the front of the army is now on the west bank of the Amu Darya River (but there is no actual rule yet), in fact, the westernmost part of the Tang Dynasty is already bordering the easternmost part of the white-clothed Dashi power!
The capital of the country was set in Damascus, and the current king was Abdul Malik, who was a dictatorial and autocratic man, expanding his military power, and because the focus of the attack was on North Africa, the Tang army fought in the Zhaowu states in the east, which did not attract his attention.
Right now, Ishimi set off to remind him!
……
With more than 30 people, more than 50 horses were prepared, disguised as a caravan, and left the capital of Kangguo, they were cautious, relying on good guides to walk day and night to avoid danger.
The weather is cold and frightened, and they don't take the big road, but the big city is not easy to supply, and after a few days of hard work, everyone and horses are thin.
I finally reached the Amu Darya River, and found a shallow and frozen place to cross the river in winter.
Continuing to go further, he was relieved to realize that he was completely out of the control zone of the Tang people.
Continuing on, they reached the large city of Mulu (also known as Mare or Male, located in Turkmenistan) in the white-clothed province of Khorasan for supplies.
After staying for three days, Iwami observed the city and military strength.
I feel that there are few soldiers stationed in the place and I am powerless to fight against the Tang Army!
In other words, even if he asked to see the governor of Khorasan Province, the other party would not necessarily dare to provoke and start a war with the Tang Dynasty.
So he continued his trip to Damascus, the capital of white clothes and food, but an accident happened.
Mulu was the capital of Khorasan Province at that time, and it was very prosperous in the past because of the Silk Road.
The Tang army was at war with the Zhaowu states, the northern route of the Silk Road was cut off (and the southern route through the Pamirs was still open), Mulu became depressed, and caravans came and went.
The robbers who relied on robbing the caravans on the road were already hungry and thirsty!
The funny thing is that Shi Jianming escaped the clutches of the Tang army, but he couldn't escape the hot hands of the tribal bandits!
At night after leaving Mulu for a day, the caravan stayed in the wilderness.
Shi Jianming slept in the tent, and woke up when he was dreaming of leading the Great Food Army to wipe out the Tang Army and restore his homeland.
Iwami opened his eyes and saw an old face in the faint light of the stars, it was Harlem, the guide from Kang Guolai, an old man who was very familiar with the road and had a lot of experience, and woke him up.
"Hurry up!" He was talking.
Shi Jianming's sleepiness was still not gone, and he almost felt that his whole body was soft: "Is it dawn?" He remembered that he had just slept for a while.
"No, it's the robbers!"
"Robbers?" Iwami stood up.
"Let's go!" Harlem tugged at him, and Iwami hurriedly packed a bag and hung it on his body, not noticing the greedy gaze in Harlem's eyes.
Iwami was almost dragged out of the camp by Harlem, while everyone else was asleep from the hurry, even the sentry.
"Don't wake them up?" Iwami was surprised.
"Wake them up and you won't be able to leave!" Harlem urged.
When they climbed a large sand dune with one foot deep and one foot shallow, they looked back and saw the fire in the night!
A large group of robbers fought and surrounded the camp, and soon there were bursts of screams!
Before Iwami and Harlem had walked a few steps, there was silence behind them, and the robbers had succeeded!
Seeing that the people in the camp reacted in a hurry, the robbers thought that they had been wiped out, and did not search, and Iwami and Harlem escaped.
Although he lost his horse, he soon arrived in a small town, and Iwami Ming took the wealth with him and bought a new horse district to hurry.
In a hurry, Harlem took Iwami to Tehran, near the Caspian Sea, where he stayed for a while.
It's really very tiring, eat and drink a little better!
Harlem drunk Iwami, who had something on his mind, with a glass of left and right!
……
The sunlight shone into the guest room, and Iwami woke up with a splitting headache.
The hand unconsciously touched his chest, and suddenly he was completely drunk!
Touching again, looking around, he propped himself up on the bed and shouted, "Harlem, Harlem!" ”
There was no response, and Iwami panicked because he found that there was nothing of value on his body!
Oh, my God!
I just feel that the sky is falling apart, and I have no money, but how to go to Damascus, how to bribe the nobles there!
This time he went to the White Clothes Food, in addition to the wealth brought by the caravan horses, Ishimi Ming also had a bag of rare gems and a bag of gold with him, and he didn't want to steal all of them for Harlem!
Damn Harlem stole the ring on his finger! Even Kang Guo's diplomatic documents were stolen from him!
Damn it! Damn it!
