The slaughter of 120,000 people at one time, although it was ferocious and brutal, frightened Gu Taibai and Muhammad, who were accustomed to seeing life and death, but the effect was surprisingly good.

When the news spread, the rebellion in Khorasan decreased a lot, and the Persian people were really frightened. Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf can slaughter 120,000 people at once, which means that he can kill more people, as many as he wants, who can not be afraid?

To this result, Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf was still satisfied, summoned the generals of Gu Taibai and Muhammad to the governor's palace, and said: "The reason why the rebels rebel rebel is that they have no fear, thinking that you dare not kill!" Even if you want to kill, don't dare to kill too much! Only by shattering their hopes and making them fearful, they will be honest and obedient, and they will never dare to rebel again. ”

Being good at creating terror and inspiring fear in people's hearts is Yusuf's specialty, and he is extremely familiar with it.

"The wise and great Governor is very right." The congregation will have to be convinced and praise loudly.

"It will not be long before the rebellion in Khorasan is put down, and then we will be able to march eastward and reach China." Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf nodded and said, "Before we make a big eastward move, we must be prepared. I thought we had to do two things: one was to find allies, and the other was to prepare money. ”

Muragu said excitedly, "Your Excellency the wise and great Governor, I thought our allies could consider Tibet. ”

Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf nodded appreciatively and said, "Our ally was originally Turkic, and we could use the Turks to harass northern China. What I didn't expect was. Mo Si is too incompetent. Destroyed by China so quickly, we have to find another ally. This ally is none other than Tibet. ”

"Although Tibet's national strength is not as good as China's, it has a favorable terrain, and in the high mountains and dense forests, it can be attacked and defended, and it is completely invincible. Tibet can be used to contain China and threaten the Hexi Corridor. It is of great benefit to us that China will not be able to invest a large number of troops, manpower and material resources in its westward expansion. Gu Taibai's eyes lit up and he dissected it loudly.

In terms of national strength alone, ten Tibetans are not comparable to the Tang Dynasty, just because the geographical location of Tubo is excellent, in the high mountains and dense forests, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Tubo is invincible and can advance and retreat freely. If you have the opportunity, you will attack the Tang Dynasty, and if you don't have the opportunity, you will retreat. Let the Tang Dynasty be helpless.

Moreover, since Tubo took Dafeichuan. In order to prevent Tibet, the Tang Dynasty sent a large number of troops to garrison the northwest to ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor was the main transportation route connecting the Central Plains to the Western Regions, and if the Hexi Corridor was unstable, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to invest a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources in the Western Regions, and would not be able to resist the eastward advance of the Arab Empire.

"Tibet is too weak and does not have sophisticated equipment, so it is difficult to compete with China." Muhammad took over the conversation and came up with an idea, saying: "We should come to the aid of Tibet, give it sophisticated equipment, and enhance its strength, so that Tibet can better hold China down." ”

"Good idea." The generals agreed in unison.

"We can even promise Tibet to hand over the Hexi Corridor and Guanzhong to Tibet, for these two places, Tibet has been coveting for a long time, if so, Tubo will definitely be happy." Mulagu added.

"It can't be. Guanzhong is a rich land, and it is the fundamental land of China, how can it be given to Tibet? "Some generals disagreed.

"That's just a promise to make Tibet work harder. As long as we go to China, don't talk about China, even Tibet is ours. Mulagu explained.

"You're insidious. Good! The generals laughed in unison and applauded.

"You've said the search for allies thoroughly, so I won't say more." Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf nodded in appreciation and said, "This matter of alliance with Tubo will be handed over to Muragu." ”

"Yes." Muragu commanded loudly.

"Next, let's talk about preparing grain and grass." Hacha only? Ibn? Yusufu's eyes rolled, and he said: "To borrow a phrase from the Chinese, 'the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first', if there is not enough money and food, it is delusional if we want to conquer China, so this matter must be done as a top priority, and it must be successful." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "From Khorasan to China, the road is long, no less than 10,000 miles, and it is impossible to transport grain. At that time, the Chinese emperor Tang Taizong refused the request of the Persian king and did not send troops to aid Persia. ”

There is no need to talk about the importance of grain and grass, without sufficient grain and grass, it is impossible to talk about the conquest of China, which is very tricky. Transporting grain from Khorasan is too far to be possible.

This really stumped the generals, and one of the generals asked, "Your Excellency the wise and great governor, how can you raise grain and grass?" ”

This question is exactly what the generals are thinking, all of them are keeping their eyes open and staring at Hacha? Ibn? Yusuf.

Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf's single eye shone with a fine light, revealing wisdom, and said: "The Chinese art of war is called 'because of food to the enemy', we can borrow it." It is impossible to transport grain from Khorasan, we can use the strength of the enemy against China. ”

When he came to the map, he pointed to Afghanistan and Pakistan on a huge map, and said: "These two places are close to China, and they are rich, and it is easy to raise grain and grass, so we can conquer them first." ”

"Good idea."

"Great."

"The Governor is always so wise and great!"

The generals suddenly sang in unison, and their eyes were full of worship.

It is impossible to get supplies from Khorasan to China, which is a huge problem. However, after Hacha only? Ibn? As soon as Yusuf said this, the big problem was solved.

As long as these two places are conquered, they can be used as strategic springboards, and they are a good base for the Arab Empire to advance.

Who can not be convinced?

Who can not worship?

"Gu Taibai, you led 50,000 elites to attack these two places and raise grain and grass for the army; Muhammad, thou shalt lead 50,000 men against Samarkand and the kingdom of Stone, and aim for the city of Broken Leaves, and open the way for the army to march eastward, so that the Governor may come to the western regions. "Hacha only? Ibn? Yusuf's eyes were shining, and the whole person was in high spirits.

"Yes." Ancient Taibai and Muhammad received the command in unison.

The two of them shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the eastward expansion of the Arab Empire. Ibn? Yusuf had great trust in them, and the two of them were excited and bright.

"You must do your best, and I will reward you heavily: you two, whoever sets foot on Chinese soil first will be the governor of China!" Hacha only? Ibn? Yousufu is like a bell.

"I will not disappoint the wise and great Governor!" Gu Taibai and Muhammad looked at each other like two fighting cocks, which meant that the Chinese governor had made up his mind.

Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Li Dan convened Di Renjie, Zhang Khan Zhi, Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Chen Xuanli, and other civil and military ministers to discuss the matter.

"I have just ascended to the throne, and the state affairs are heavy, so please do your best." Li Dan slowly opened his mouth and said, "You still have something, just say it." ”

Although Li Dan does not have extraordinary talent, he has an extraordinary mind, is very diligent and generous, as long as it is a state affair, no matter what tone you say, even if it is against him, he can accept it, which makes Li Longji have a deeper understanding of Li Dan.

Di Renjie took the lead and talked about state affairs, and after a long while, he finished speaking.

"Prince, what do you have to say?" Li Dan looked at Li Longji and asked.

"Father, the son thinks that there is one thing that must be done first, and that is to spread a thousand horses into ten thousand horses." Li Longji has wanted to do this for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity.

"Zhan Cheng Wan Ride?" The ministers were stunned.

Li Dan was also surprised, and said: "Prince, the thousand horses are good, how did you think of showing the thousand horses into ten thousand horses?" ”

Qianqi is the most elite army in the empire, and it is very valued by the top level of the empire, and Li Longji's idea is shocking.

"Qianqi is the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty, each of which is selected by thousands of people, after entering Qiancai, you will learn a lot of things, and many people can stand alone, become generals, and may even become famous commanders in the world." Li Longji analyzed and said: "It's a pity that such a precious opportunity is only given to a thousand people, why not expand a thousand horses into ten thousand horses, so that more people have the opportunity to become talents?" ”

Qianqi is tantamount to a "Royal Military Academy", those who are selected will learn a lot of things, will achieve transformation, many people will become generals, and may even become generals, become famous generals through the ages, for example, Guo Ziyi was born in the Longwu Army.

It's a pity that there are only 1,000 people in such a treasure land, and it is a great thing to expand it so that more people can enjoy this opportunity, and Li Longji has long had this idea.

"I'm for it." Chen Xuanli was the first to agree.

Chen Xuanli was born in Qianqi, and he knows Qianqi very well, and knows that what Li Longji said is very pertinent. It is too wasteful for only 1,000 people to enjoy such a precious opportunity, so that more people can learn and let more people become talents, that is the best.

"I'm in favor of it too." Zhang said that he is a person who is proficient in the way of war, and he also knows what kind of consequences Li Longji will bring if this move is realized, that more talents will be successful, there will be more generals, and even there will be generals and famous generals, and this prospect is too broad.

"The prince is far-sighted and approves." Di Renjie thought about it and agreed.

He was all in favor, not to mention the others, all in favor.

"The prince thinks far-reaching, hehe, good!" Li Dan was greatly appreciative, and said with a smile: "It is a good thing to turn a thousand horses into ten thousand horses, but there are many things to do, it is not easy, Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing have to be busy, according to me, let Chen Xuanli help them, okay?" ”

Chen Xuanli is born in a thousand horses, and he has a big weapon bureau, he is good at strategizing, and he will help him, this matter will be completed faster, and everyone has no objection to this mention, so it will be passed.

"Chen Xuanli, this matter has a lot to do with it, and whether the Tang army can fight well or not is a major matter of the country, so you have to be more careful." Li Dan encouraged Chen Xuanli.

"Please rest assured, the minister will do it well." Chen Xuanli said busily. (To be continued......)
