The last bit of cool air left on the Gobi last night was basked by the sun that had just climbed up, and it was all wiped out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nearly 4,000 Tang troops had their backs to the rising sun, and the sun shone on their black armor, as if it had been plated with a layer of flowing and dazzling luster on the armor.

Li Jing stood in front of the Tang Army and coldly asked the other party's people. Behind him, the Xuanjia soldiers lowered their masks and prepared to charge.

"Old man ask again, where did you come from?" Li Jing snorted, led the horse and took a step forward, and the Xuanjia army behind him also took a step forward.

There was a "boom", a low muffled sound came from the ground, and the hooves of more than a thousand horses fell at the same time, and the land shook.

With a "long time", the enemy on the opposite side retreated a few steps one after another, and someone's weapon was unstable and fell to the ground, but in the end he did not dare to come out and pick it up.

There was a commotion among the enemies, and a passage was split out of the middle, and a tall man rode out of the passage. He was dressed in a white robe, with a white scarf on his head, his complexion was pale, and his whole face was red, as if he was drunk. His cheeks were full of beards, and his brown eyes turned from time to time, shining with greed and evil. The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are thick.

As soon as this person appeared, White's pupils shrank suddenly!

When did Tuyuhun begin to establish contact with the Arabs, or did the Arabs begin to notice the Eastern world and have begun to lay out in this direction?

"Respected Tang Dynasty general!" The man bent down slightly on his horse and said in a Tang voice that was not very clear: "I, Abdul al-Hakim, am from the distant Arab Empire of Western civilization, and Jieli is a friend of our Empire, can you please ask the general to return him to me?" ”

Cheng Yanjin saw Bai Qi nodding to him, his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn, he rode up to Li Jing's side, and explained to him in a low voice the simple situation of the Arab Empire.

Bai Qi stepped forward, glanced at Li Jing, walked behind Li Jing, and shouted to Hakim: "Hakim, since you are a wise servant under Muhammad, you should know that Jieli is our enemy of the Tang Dynasty. For the enemy, my Datang has always been treated with a wooden stick! ”

Hakim looked at the white chess in surprise and said: "Oh, I can't imagine that in the far east, there is actually someone who knows the great monarch Caliph!" ”

"This is my Tang Meridian Marquis, he has traveled to your country!" After listening to Cheng Yanjin's explanation, Li Jing said to Hakimu: "Hakimu, you have come all the way to the East, as long as you give a reasonable explanation for entering my Datang territory for no reason, I can show Your Majesty and let you go!" ”

Hakim's eyes widened, and he sneered and said, "Since the Marquis of your country has been to the Arab Empire, then he must know the strength of the Arab Empire. Could it be that you Datang want to be the enemy of the most powerful civilization in the world? You know, it's not a smart choice! ”

Bai Qi took the horse's head, and together with Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong, slowly walked to the front of Hakim, looked at his arrogant face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hakim, the Arab Empire is fighting against the powerful Byzantine and Persian Sassanid Empires at the moment, and I don't think it is possible for it to give up its interests in Europe and come to the East for a small profit!" Seeing that Hakim's face was becoming gloomy, Bai Qi smiled slightly and continued: "Your Prophet Muhammad once said that even if you are far away in China, you should seek it. I don't know if Your Excellency Hakimu came to my Tang Dynasty to ask for knowledge, or for war? ”

Hakimu's eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Bai Qi, and the young Tang Marquis in front of him seemed to know his country very well, and this understanding now exposed himself to the sun.

The holy city of Mecca had grown stronger and stronger under the rule of the great Muhammad. The surrounding Byzantine and Persian Sassanid empires, which had always been at the side of the Arab empire, were pagans who needed to be baptized with sword and blood.

The top brass of the Arab Empire also noticed the powerful empire in the East, so they secretly sent themselves to cross the Persian border, cross Tianzhu and Tubo, and after three years, finally came to Tuyuhun to cooperate with Fu Yun.

Hakimu secretly came to Tuyuhun for three years, and in order to interfere with the development of the Tang Dynasty, he has been conducting military transactions with Fu Yun, and at the same time training a group of troops for Tuyuhun, violating the borders of the Tang Dynasty from time to time.

Seeing that Hakimu didn't speak, Bai Qi's eyes flickered, so he sneered and said: "Your Excellency Hakimu has risked life and death all the way, Fang came to the border of the Tang Dynasty, and Yu Tuguhun lurked, what do you want to do?" ”

Hakimu snorted and retorted in a flickering voice: "The meridian of the Tang Dynasty, don't make groundless guesses!" ”

"Unwarranted speculation? Your Excellency, don't be a fool! Bai Qi laughed, suddenly rushed out, grabbed Hakimu with both hands, and Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo, who had been preparing beside him, also jumped over the horse in tacit understanding, and a large net was cast towards Hakimu.

Startled by the sudden attack, Hakimu slid off his horse and rolled on the ground in horror, just avoiding the sneak attack of the white three!

"Kill them!" Covered in sand, Hakimu got up from the ground in embarrassment, angrily pointed at the three white chessmen, and screamed.

Cheng bit the golden lance and waved, and with an order, the four thousand Tang Army soldiers descended the mountain like fierce tigers and rushed towards the Tuyuhun army behind Harim.

The three white chess players jumped on their horses, stabbed out their spears, and forced the enemy back to meet them, at this time, a long sword waved beside them, and Fang Yiai killed from the side.

"Damn, since I entered the Cloud Breaking Army, Lao Tzu has known that this room is stupid and not stupid at all!" Cheng Chu laughed and cursed, and the spear stabbed out, piercing the enemy who pounced.

The eldest grandson Chong sneered and carried it with Cheng Chumo: "That's you stupid bear, people are stupid and stupid!" ”

The soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army spontaneously formed small detachments one by one, like a meat grinder, rushed into the enemy, and killed the enemies around them!

Hakimu's face was pale, he thought that this was just an easy thing, so he randomly selected 10,000 people from Fu Yun to rescue Jieli, who knew that it was the elite troops of the Tang Army. The 10,000 men were slaughtered in an instant, some of them were so frightened that they abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and some even fled into the distance.

"A bunch of rubbish!" Hakim said angrily. Suddenly, a short arrow flew through the crowd and grazed his face. Harim touched his face, which was scratched by sharp arrows and oozed bright red blood, so frightened that he immediately hid under his horse, and did not dare to come out again.

The rabble brought by Hakim was quickly defeated by the Tang army, half of them were captured, and the rest were killed, wounded, and fled. The Don army suffered less than 500 casualties.

White sent the soldiers of the Cloud Breaker Army to clean up the battlefield with others, bring back the bodies of their dead comrades, and arrange for the wounded soldiers to receive treatment.

"Did you find Hakim?" White asked Changsun Chong.

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head: "No, it is estimated that they were mixed in the pile of fugitives and escaped together!" ”

Cheng Chumo looked at the white chess with a somewhat solemn face, and couldn't help asking: "Crazy, is this guy important?" ”

Over there, Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin arranged things and rode over, and as soon as they arrived, Li Jing asked: "Boy, is this Arab Empire really like you said?" ”

"Uncle Li, when Arabia was the most powerful, the area was three times that of the Tang Dynasty! In the west, the powerful and ancient Byzantine Empire, as well as the Persian Empire on the other side of Longyoudao, have now felt the threat of the Arab Empire, so it will not pose much of a threat to us for the time being! ”

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and Cheng Chumo asked stupidly: "Damn, is it really that big?" ”

Changsun Chong calculated it in his mind seriously, and then said: "I always thought that there were so many small countries in the world as there were Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries, but they were so big!" ”

Bai Qi nodded and said seriously: "I always thought that the Arab Empire would not have a direct conflict with the Tang Dynasty for the time being, and now it seems that it is about to change its opinion." Hakimu is mixed in Tuyuhun, and its real purpose is nothing more than one, that is, to use Tuyuhun to contain the Tang Dynasty! Bai Qi raised his head, looked at the heavy expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but laugh easily: "Actually, a Hakimu can't set off a big storm." After this war, when I go back, I will write down in detail what I have seen and heard in various countries over the years, compile it into a book, and give it to Your Majesty, maybe it will be useful in the future! ”

Li Jing patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said approvingly: "In this war, Datang will really enter recuperation, and I will also retire from the old man, and the future Datang will be handed over to you descendants!" ”

Perhaps in order to avoid unnecessary tragedies, Li Jing has already paved the way for himself. Along the way, he let the merchants meddle in the army's victories and use them to exchange money for the soldiers, and he has already made those old guys of the Imperial Observatory participate in the court many times.

White knew that after this time, Li Jing was really going to retreat.

Bai Qi straightened up, "brushed", and gave a military salute to Li Jing on the horse. Other nearby soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army also followed and saluted Li Jing.

"Hehe, when I see you young people, I remember what we looked like when we were young!" Li Jing laughed, patted Cheng Jin's shoulder and said, "What, Cheng Lao Pifu, are you interested in going back with the old man to fish and plow the fields?" ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "Damn, the old man's body is still tough!" These little guys are restless species, and there have to be a few old guys behind to wipe their butts! ”

Bai Qi leaned between the two old men playfully, and said embarrassedly: "That, Uncle Li is the military advisor of our Cloud Breaking Army, and he has time to teach us a lesson!" The salary is high, the benefits are good, and it is worth considering! ”

"Get out!" Cheng Biting Jin kicked the white chess off the horse: "Don't always think about squeezing us old guys!" ”

Li Jing watched with a smile and thoughtfully.
