"Now that the main force of the Great Eclipse Khorasan clique has been severely damaged, I estimate that if the Amir River does not rebel, it should be almost impossible to hold out on to the southern front. This time, the two great cities of Samad and Capture are now also empty, and the defeat of Talas is likely to lose the entire Transoxiana region in a very short time.

What we have to do is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, not to give a chance to breathe, to chase and fight all the way to Mulu City, and force the other party to sue for peace, cut land, and pay compensation! Beat the black-clothed food down at once, and beat them to the ground, at least to ensure the peace of the land in the river for ten years. Otherwise, if the snake is not killed, it will be bitten, and if the big cannibal is relieved, the river and the whole of Anxi will not be at peace. ”

Early in the morning, in the camp, Gao Xianzhi was asking Xiao Quzhi about his next plans. According to his own ideas, it is enough to drive the big cannibal out of the river, and the credit and benefits obtained are already great, and there is no need to risk it again.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qubing actually proposed to fight all the way to Mulu, and even had to eat a lot of peace, cut the land, and pay compensation! This Xiao Qu's heart is too big. In view of Xiao Quai's almost omniscience, and he does know too little about Da Shi, he is indeed inferior to Xiao Qubing in terms of grasping the overall situation. However, even so, Gao Xianzhi was still a little unimpressed.

"Is the black-clothed food you said really so powerful? I think that's just the case. Gao Xianzhi said.

"Yes, much more than we might think, this is a very learning people, who plunder not only land, wealth, but also knowledge. Although they suffered a setback, it was only because the empire had just been established and had not yet stabilized, and their soldiers had not fought many hard battles. But after this battle, after they have seen the power of the strong bow and crossbow and the strange sword, they will soon learn all our things, and they will be reborn from then on, and it will be a big disaster in a few years! ”

In fact, in the time and space before Xiao Qu's illness, the black-clothed eaters saw the terrifying power of the Anxi army's crossbow arrows in the Battle of Talas, and then they began to spare no effort to promote the Anxi army's strong crossbows in the army, and then the Arabs' powerful crossbow technology was brought to Western Christendom through war. A famous king of Western Europe was easily killed by a small soldier with a crossbow in a battle, so much so that their pope later decreed that the crossbow from the East should not be used in the internal wars of Christendom.

The promotion of the crossbow also led to the development of armor, and the Arabs also changed their habit of not liking armor after this war. It was also because of this war that papermaking was controlled by the Arabs, and after al-Mansur ascended the caliphate and swept away the turmoil, the century-old translation movement of the Arabs began to gain scale because of the emergence of cheap paper, and the entire black food industry immediately entered a golden age of prosperity.

Seeing that Xiao Qu's illness was so sure, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but wonder, this second brother seemed to be able to predict the future. He smiled and said, "So, you mean that we don't give him this chance?" ”

"Yes, that's what I meant." Xiao Quzhi nodded: "This time, not only our Anxi army will fight Mulu, but also extort a sum of money while the black-clothed food is weak. I also suggested that the eldest brother immediately send an envoy along the northern route of the Silk Road to contact another enemy of the Great Eclipse in the west, the Whirat (that is, the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empire), informing us that we have completely annihilated the main force of the Black Clothes Great Food Khorasan Group, and asking them not to miss this opportunity and send troops to attack the Black Clothes Great Food. ”

"In that case, then so-and-so will listen to you, we will fight all the way to Mulu City, and fight for ten years of peace at a time!" Gao Xianzhi made up his mind, and suddenly remembered that there was a eunuch sitting next to him, turned his head to look at Wang Chengen, and smiled embarrassedly: "What do you think of the envoy of the king?" ”

Wang Chengen blinked dumbfounded, and said in his heart, "You two finally remembered me?" They have all made a decision and come to me to ask me, as long as they can win the battle, of course I have no opinion. Thinking of the battle exploits obtained this time and the mountains of captured materials, it is naturally indispensable to have his own share, Wang Chengen was a little excited, this time he came to the river is really the right one.

"Uh...... What you discuss is what you come up with, and we have no opinion...... There are only two points, one is that we must rush back to Chang'an before the Great Dynasty Meeting; First, you have to hurry up and report the victory like Your Majesty!

Gao Xianzhi looked at Xiao Quai, Xiao Quzhi thought for a while and said, "If the war goes well, you will definitely not be able to make a mistake." The good news will have to wait for the information from Shattered Leaf City to come. ”

When Gao Xianzhi arranged the treatment of the wounded, the handling of the seized materials, and arranged a team of merchants from the Stone Country to go to Fulu and other things, everything was ready, and when he could go south at any time to kill the water, the scouts sent to Broken Leaf City came back!

The 10,000 Tianwei army, under the leadership of the main general Huoba Guiren and the deputy general Li Sheng, secretly arrived near Broken Leaf seven days ago, got in touch with the scouts of the Anxi Army five days ago, and took advantage of the emptiness of Broken Leaf City four days ago, and the main force of the army went to Talas City to attack the city by surprise and recover Broken Leaf in one day.

At this time, the main general Huoba Guiren was chasing the remnants of the enemy in Broken Leaf City, and sent the deputy general Li Sheng to lead an army of 4,000 to Talas to support. It should have arrived a long time ago, but no, the Anxi scout who came back to report the news ran headlong into the remnants of the enemy surnamed Huang who fled from Broken Leaf City in a hurry. So Li Sheng set up an ambush on the road and once again defeated the more than 1,000 defeated troops, and only a few horsemen fled into the northern grassland.

"Li Sheng, it turned out to be Li Sheng!" Xiao Qubing couldn't help but cry out. The most outstanding and famous generals in the Middle and Tang Dynasty were Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Li Sheng. Although Li Sheng is not as famous as the previous two, he has the most appetite for Xiao Qubing and admires Xiao Qubing the most. Not only is he brave and good at fighting, he is full of strategy, he has won more with less many times, and he has never been defeated in his life; And he is loyal and righteous, good at inspiring morale, and can be called the perfect commander!

Gao Xianzhi said strangely: "Do you know him?" ”

"I don't know."

"And you're so excited?"

"I've heard my master say that he is an enemy of all people!" Xiao Quzhi looked excited, took his finger as a whistle, jumped on the little red horse galloping over, turned to Gao Xianzhi and said, "I'll go and greet him!" ”

Xiao Quzhi beat his horse and ran away excitedly, leaving only Gao Xianzhi and Wang Chengen messy in the wind. Wang Chengen is okay, but Gao Xianzhi is sour in his heart, it seems that the second brother's master has a much higher evaluation of Li Sheng than himself!

More than 20 miles east of Talas City, at the exit of the Broken Leaf River, Li Sheng, a twenty-four-year-old Tianwei army general in a brocade robe, suddenly sneezed, looked at the big sun in the sky suspiciously, and was ghostly, how could he catch a cold on this hot day?
