――――――――――――――――――――――

Tang Taizong's refusal to send troops to rescue the Persian Empire was not only a regret for the Tang Dynasty, but also for China!

If you want to select a few regrettable events in Chinese history, this event will definitely be selected!

Because, Tang Taizong's decision changed the direction of world history!

At that time, the Arab Empire had just risen, and its foundation was not yet solid, if the Tang Dynasty sent troops, the Arab Emperor was hit by the East at the critical moment of its rise, could it rise again?

It is quite possible that the Arab Empire will die abruptly, and there will be no more famous Arab Empires!

There will be no Islam entrenched in the Middle East!

Because, after the Tang Dynasty stopped westward expansion due to the Anshi Rebellion, the Arab Empire had the energy to Islamize the conquered lands, and Islam was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and in the Middle East.

Even if the Arab Empire could still rise, the process of its rise would be extremely difficult, and would the territory of the Arab Empire still be so vast? Will the impact be that great?

"Hey!"

Feng Changqing's words caused a sigh, and Li Siye felt sorry for Tang Taizong's decision. If Tang Taizong decided to send troops, there would never be the current situation of the Great Food Army pressing the border, let alone the fact that the Great Food sent troops to attack the four towns of Anxi in the third and fifth years of Kaiyuan.

In that case, the situation of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions will be better, very good!

Perhaps, the Tang Dynasty has already dominated the Middle East!

"Hey!"

Gao Xianzhi clenched his fists, and he also sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

This is a regret for the ages, Li Changguo sighed secretly.

"Emperor Taizong is eloquent and strategic, fierce generals are like clouds, and ministers are like rain, the reason why he decided so much is that he has to do it!" Feng Changqing couldn't help but shake his head, and a pair of slanted eyes shook and didn't know where to go: "Although the Tang Dynasty is going to Persia with high mountains and long waters, the road is long, and it is difficult to replenish, it will be extremely difficult to go west. But it's not invincible! What really made Emperor Taizong decide not to send troops was that the Western Turks had not been destroyed, the Western Regions were still in the hands of the Western Turks, and it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to cross the Western Turkic realm to rescue Persia! ”

For this regret, people in later generations thought that Tang Taizong considered that the Tang Dynasty was too far away from Persia and it was difficult to supply, which was a reason, but it was not the real reason.

Because, it was the Persian Empire that asked for help, as long as the Tang Dynasty sent troops, the Persian Empire would definitely send supplies, which was not a problem.

Choosing between the death of the country and the supply, the fool knows how to choose.

The real reason is that the Western Regions, the place through which the Tang army must pass through to advance westward, is still controlled by the Western Turks. Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night to destroy the Turks, and it was the Eastern ~~ Turks that were destroyed.

The Western Turks were enemies of the Tang Dynasty and had not yet been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, which was completed by Su Dingfang during the reign of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

It was precisely because the Western Turks were in the way of the Tang army's westward advance that Tang Taizong decided not to send troops!

"The Tang Dynasty did not send troops, Persia perished, and the Great Food Coerced the aftermath of a hundred battles, marched eastward, and met the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. Since then, the two countries have been fighting each other for decades! Feng Changqing's head shook even more, his voice turned high, poignant and harsh, and said: "The heart of the Tang Dynasty will not die!" Yes, there will be a battle between Datang and Dashi sooner or later! There will be a great war! ”

The Persian Empire did not receive assistance from the Tang Dynasty and soon gave the Arab Empire its demise. After the destruction of Persia, the Arab Empire greatly increased its strength, marched eastward, and met the Tang Dynasty in Central Asia and fought a big fight. The Arab Empire had long coveted China's richness and dreamed of entering China, which had the reputation of being the "Golden Country", and its Eastern Governor, Yusuf, told his generals that whoever set foot on Chinese territory first would be the governor of China.

It can be seen that the heart of the Arab Empire is not dead in the Tang Dynasty!

Sooner or later, there will be a big war between the Tang Dynasty and the Allah Empire!

"In order to solve the big problem of big food, Datang sent troops several times to help Balus restore the country, but it was unsuccessful." Gao Xianzhi took over the conversation and said in a very painful tone: "During the years of the Holy Queen, there was an army in the Tang Dynasty, which fought all the way to the west and fought to the outskirts of Rey, and due to the lonely expedition, they were all martyred in the end!" ”

Balus was the crown prince of the last king of Persia, and after the fall of the Persian Empire, with the help of the Tang Dynasty, he came to Chang'an, and the Tang Dynasty made him an official.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks, the road between the Tang Dynasty and Persia was opened, and the conditions for the Tang Dynasty to operate the Middle East were ripe. Unfortunately, the best opportunity has passed, and the Arab Empire has become a behemoth, although its national strength is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, but it has been defeated and broken, and has repeatedly defeated and fought to resist the Tang Dynasty's attacks.

In order to contain the Arab Empire, the Tang Dynasty decided to help Balus restore the country. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty sent troops several times, including the famous general Pei Xingjian, who led the army to the battle, and finally failed.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, a small Tang army attacked all the way to the west and hit Rai, which is now the outskirts of Tehran, the capital of Iran. Due to the fact that the lone army was deeply penetrated, could not be replenished, there were no reinforcements, and coupled with the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, this few Tang troops were all killed in the end.

This is the farthest army in Chinese history to go west!

"Although Da Shi is the sworn enemy of Datang and is hated, it cannot be ignored!" Feng Changqing took over the conversation again and said: "The Great Food Army is well-trained, well-equipped, strictly disciplined, and has good tactics, plus they are willing to shed their last drop of blood for the 'Holy War', it is difficult to deal with. ”

The armies of the Arab Empire, with strong religious beliefs, were willing to fight to the death for religious beliefs, and this was the "holy war".

Although the overall strength of the Ala Empire is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, it should not be underestimated and is difficult to deal with.

"Yes, to win this battle, we need more troops, more ordnance, and more food and grass." Feng Changqing's analysis was very reasonable, stood up, and saluted Gao Xianzhi: "Deputy capital protection, please send the last general into the court!" The last general will ask His Majesty to send more reinforcements and more ordnance! ”

The Arab Empire is a behemoth, and fighting against the Arab Empire cannot be taken lightly, it requires rigorous preparations, more troops, more ordnance, and more food and grass.

Feng Changqing's words hit the nail on the head, and the generals nodded heavily, agreeing.

"Hmm!" Although Gao Xianzhi really wanted to start a war with Da Shi immediately, he knew very well that the current conditions were not yet ripe. There are many reasons for this, the most important of which is that he does not have enough troops to defeat the Arab Empire.

Historically, the most important reason for Gao Xianzhi's defeat was that the troops in his hands were insufficient, although the Tang army had the upper hand and pressed the Arab Empire for five days and five nights, but it could not achieve the final victory, and was taken advantage of by the Arab Empire to rebel against Qarluq.

Gao Xianzhi looked at Feng Changqing appreciatively, and was about to agree to his request.

At this moment, Li Changguo stood up and said, "Deputy capital protector, the last general has something to say!" ”

"Oh!"

Gao Xianzhi was a little surprised, looked at Li Changguo and said, "Li Changguo, you are brave and resourceful. However, this kind of thing requires great talent, and it is not within your reach! ”

Li Changguo is his favorite general, he admires Li Changguo very much, but he does not believe that Li Changguo can be more clever than Feng Changqing's opinion.

Not only did Gao Xianzhi think so, but even Li Siye, who was good friends with Li Changguo, didn't believe it and shook his head regretfully.
