In the palace of Ctesiphon, under the light of more than a dozen jade tree golden lamps, the craftsman's elaborate West Asian sand table soil is completely visible, the huge map has encircled more than half of the Arabian Peninsula, extending to Constantinople, Egypt, and the city models are filled with colorful flags representing various forces, just like a game. Happy; Wen; Novel.+xs.

But after all, war is not a game, even if Li Jie is not there, the situation is still moving forward, looking at the topographic map that has changed greatly since Li Jie set off, more than a dozen generals and important ministers, including Wu Meiniang, are standing quietly with their hands tied, pinching their chins, and Li Jie himself is also fascinated.

Li Jie's ability to appear in the river in such a timely manner with the main force of the Fujian army's field battle, Guanning Iron Cavalry, stemmed from the sacrifice of one person and the scorching battlefield of drastic changes, otherwise, Li Jie might really have to sit and watch the Central Asian war situation fight into a pot of porridge under Li Jin's will.

This person is the old Li Ji, who is already in his sixties!

A few years ago, in the Arab conquest, Li Jingye, the most proud grandson of Lao Li Ji, the former secretary of the military department of Damin, died in Kufa, at the hands of the Yemeni tyrant Saladin, with this blood feud, Saladin is the most solid supporter of Kufa's anti-Fujian faction.

But this blood feud, for the sake of the country's righteousness, Li Ji actually gave it up, commanding Fang bereavement, medicine Geluo a one, Li Ji personally repaired the book to Saladin, persuaded him to surrender, and in the name of the ancestors of the Lihu Xu clan to ensure his safety and future in Damin, at this time Kufa has been besieged for several months, looking at the anxious subordinates, after thinking for a long time, Saladin still agreed, and this desert lord also put forward an unbelievable condition.

Let his son Marwang worship Li Ji as a grandfather!

Saladin, a desert man, has a very simple point of view, killing someone's grandson, in order to resolve hatred, then compensate him for a grandson, but he didn't expect that he would have to be called Li Ji's father according to his seniority.

Suddenly there was a son in his early fifties and an eldest grandson in his early thirties, and while he was dumbfounded, Li Ji still accepted the agreement.

In the Arab point of view, there are not so many restraints of courtesy, righteousness and shame, especially in the harsh desert, survival is the truth, after receiving Li Ji's assurance, without the slightest hesitation, Saladin immediately betrayed his ally Kufa Sultan Ziyad, and cooperated with the Fujian army to take Kufa.

Qi Yad is also an old man, an old politician with a thick skin like tree bark, who was plotted by Saladin, and at the first moment when he was captured by the Min army, he also surrendered to the Great Min immediately, and repaired the book to Hussein, who was still cruising near the desert and constantly harassing the border of the Min people, and forced Hussein to support Kufa with surrender as a threat.

If it weren't for Hussein's cunning fox and cautious sending the general Malik to lead more than 10,000 Bedouin light horsemen to attack the Fujian army camp under the city of Kufa, the Arab army in the direction of Mechammasg would have been really dangerous.

Not surprisingly, 10,000 light cavalry fell into the siege of Li Jizhong, and less than 3,000 escaped alive, and Hussein, who knew that Kufa was no longer reliable, immediately led the main force of the Syrian army back to Damascus, without even telling his good friends Byzantium, who were still fighting in Seleucia.

Constantine IV was also shrewd, and after perceiving some abnormalities in the attack of the Fujian army, he also struggled to use the gecko tail escape technique, leaving about 20,000 mercenaries recruited among the Arabs and Caucasians to stick to the camp, and retreated to Antioch with the main forces of Macedonia, Athens and other Balkan Peninsulas.

After the main force of the Fujian army, which was finally freed from the scorching battlefield, ate the Byzantine remaining army, and the 100,000 or so Arab emigrant rebels who were still struggling in East Mesopotamia came back to help, and suddenly found in horror that the 200,000 local government soldiers they were facing had changed to nearly 400,000 more elite and bloodthirsty Standing Army of the Sixteen Guards of the Great Min, and they had been training a terrorist machine for killing people for 365 days.

It was also at this time that Li Jie got the news that his baby girl had sold her mother, and hurriedly pulled the liberated Guanning Iron Horse to the river.

In the more than a month that Li Jie was absent, with sufficient resources, the Mesopotamian rebels who had been abandoned by Hussein were basically suppressed by Wu Meiniang and others, and after killing more than 10,000 strong, one tribe after another surrendered to the Fujian army in despair, and is now being detained near the city of Taixifeng, guarded by the left and right military guards, the left and right leading guards, and the left and right Xiaowei 60,000 main forces.

The remaining government soldiers, who had just ended the bloody civil war, had to quickly put down their bloodstained weapons and replace them with sickles and hoes to rescue most of the wheat fields and date palm forests that had been destroyed.

But now, it is the more than 100,000 Arab prisoners of war who are a headache for the ministers of the Great Min, plus the Arab army in Kufa and their families, and there are 200,000 people detained near Ctesiphon.

These people have always been a time bomb, believing in the Meccan Arabs who are quite blue, and the Great Min does not dare to trust them at all, and they are imprisoned? That's 200,000 people! The huge food consumption of Damin is also unbearable, and just after the end of the fighting, many tribes still have a deep hatred for Damin, once the situation changes, these people will explode like explosives.

Dispersed again to the plains of Mesopotamia? They have already betrayed once, who knows if there will be a second time, not to mention the worried ministers, Li Jie also knows that it is not feasible, these Arabs have a lot of similarities with the generations he came from, and there were displaced people in the late Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later.

The displaced people lost their land and could not support themselves at all, and were resettled after surrendering to the government, but poverty forced them to take up arms again and again, and dragged down the Ming Dynasty, and these Arabs, accustomed to nomadism and plunder, were simply torture for them to have the same land policy as other peoples, and the Great Min could not buy their loyalty anyway.

In fact, the easiest way is to kill them all! This method can find a precedent even in Huaxia, Qin Guo killed Zhao 400,000 troops, since then Zhao has been in a slump, and no longer has the strength to stop Daqin, Bai Qi continued to attack Chu, killed tens of thousands of Chu troops in a war, a large number of people died, and the continuous war of attrition also dragged down Great Chu, without these most difficult opponents, the Qin Dynasty can dominate the world.

Later, after the Battle of Xiang Yu Julu, the Qin army was killed and reduced to 200,000 troops, which solved the food pressure and got rid of the troubles.

But kill them all? Not to mention the resentment of the Arabs against Da Min in the future, don't just think about the 200,000 souls surrounding you, which is enough to make your scalp tingle and shudder, and the old saying is ominous to kill prisoners, Bai Qi, the general with the most military achievements in Great Qin, was given to commit suicide, and decades later, Great Qin also paid the price of being killed by 200,000.

Xiang Yu, self-slaughtering Wujiang.

Li Guang killed hundreds of people, and he was not allowed to be a marquis for the rest of his life, and he killed people in the wilderness, so that the king of Wumourning Ran Min killed Hu on a large scale, and the Central Plains was full of people, and the brutal Xiongnu, the Qianbei and other tribes were almost killed, and the Xianbei people were also hit hard.

Although Ran Min was defeated and killed in the context of the great decline of Chinese luck, the Xianbei Northern Wei Dynasty, which made a comeback again, the former Qin of the Di nationality still had to pay attention to the strength of the Han people, and was careful not to kill brutally and indiscriminately, which also gave the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty and the opportunity for the Chinese civilization of the Sui and Tang dynasties to rise again.

More recently, Li Jie's father, Li Shimin, also made the mistake of indiscriminate killing when he conquered Goguryeo, killing 3,000 people who had committed the battle, resulting in a vain attack on Goguryeo.

Almost all of the indiscriminate killing of captives ended well, even Wu Meiniang didn't dare to open this mouth, the generals of Da Min killed the enemy on the battlefield, and the slaughter of the unarmed old and young of the tribe was also a bit beyond their moral range, and no one dared to raise the third point.

So these 200,000 Arabs have become a hot potato in the hands of Da Min, they can't be killed, locked up, or released, no wonder Wu Meiniang is so anxious to see Li Jie to find a solution.

stared at the map for a long time and had a headache, and Li Jie didn't come up with any good way, so he had to put this on hold in advance, and the topic was pulled elsewhere.

"How's this year's autumn harvest?"

Now it is September, the spring wheat has already matured, and it can be regarded as the happiest season in this court, when it comes to the autumn harvest, the courtiers' faces are still tight, and they look at each other helplessly for a long time, and the Fengge waiter in charge of the household department has stood up cautiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, the autumn harvest situation is not optimistic."

"After a few months of Arab rebellion, as well as the suppression of the army and the transfer of manpower, the Juntian planned for the beginning of the spring was destroyed in the fifth layer of the war and abandoned in the third layer, and it is a great luck to have a harvest of 200,000 stones."

"To feed the soldiers and civilians in West Asia today, I'm afraid we still need 960,000 stone of food."

"Nine hundred and sixty thousand stones!"

Many courtiers only learned about the specific gap today, such a huge amount made a large group of generals and ministers all gasp, and Li Jie himself knocked his head with a headache, and also muttered.

"Nine hundred and sixty thousand stones, and two hundred thousand prisoners, it's really a hot potato."
