Chapter 18: Surrender one after another

In a warehouse, Yang Siqiao and the generals took a look at the situation in front of them, and their eyeballs almost fell out.

This is a large warehouse, full of gold and silver treasures, some of which are packed in boxes and some of which are piled up in a mess, and it is estimated that even the Arab Empire does not know how many there are.

This is already the thirteenth warehouse that Yang Siqiao inspected, and the first twelve warehouses are the same as the situation in front of him, and the treasures in the warehouse are full.

Yang Siqiao checked the book, felt incredible, came to inspect, only to know that there is a gap between the book record and the real thing, and the real thing is more valuable than the real thing.

If these things were shipped back to the Tang Dynasty to be sold, they would be enough for half a year's military expenses.

The harvest in Samarkand alone is so huge, which is also so amazing, if Yang Siqiao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

As for the grain and grass, it is piled up, and there is no need to worry about the lack of grain and grass. The grain and grass collected by the Arab Empire in Samarkand was enough for a large army to last a year.

"The big cannibal is really good at looting." The generals were overwhelmed with emotion.

"Actually, it's not unexpected." Yang Simiao's thick black eyebrows were raised, and he said, "Samarkand is rich and the most important hub on the Silk Road, so it is not surprising that there can be such a harvest." Moreover, in order to fight with Datang, Yousufu tried his best to loot, but he didn't expect that it would be cheaper for us. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable." The generals nodded in agreement.

Samarkand is the pearl of Central Asia and the most important hub on the Silk Road.

In addition, Yusuf prepared for a big war with the Tang Dynasty. Loot by all means. It's normal to have so much accumulation.

"It's good now. We don't have to worry about running out of food and grass anymore. Yang Siqiao smiled and said: "Wang Maozhong can save a lot of worry, and he doesn't have to transport grain from the Western Regions anymore." ”

As long as the Tang army arrives in Samarkand, there will be enough grain and grass, and there will be no need to work hard to transport grain from the Western Regions, which will save a lot of trouble, and Wang Maozhong, who is in charge of logistics, will be the happiest.

"Herald: Tell the surrounding aliens to surrender immediately. If you dare to say a word, I will step on them. "Immediately after. Yang Siqiao frowned and said murderously.

The order was quickly passed down.

"What? Butcher Yang wants us to surrender? Is this true or false? ”

"What butcher Yang, that's a demon who kills gods, eats people and doesn't swallow bones. I heard that he slaughtered the city in Tianzhu back then, and cut everything three feet up, even if it was more than a little bit. In this battle, he turned Talas to ashes with a fire, and when he arrived in Samarkand, he went on a killing spree, leaving no one behind. ”

In a word, the corpses of Yang Killing God were piled up everywhere he went. The blood flowed like a river, and it was red. ”

"And. What he says will come true. He said he wanted to leave Talas alone, and he did. It was Gu Taibai, he was obviously captured alive, but he was still thrown into the fire and burned to death. ”

"Butcher Yang is terrible, he said that he wants to level us, and he will definitely do it. In my opinion, let's surrender. ”

"Yes, surrender, surrender quickly, if it's too late, there will be no chance."

After receiving Yang Simiao's order, these alien races talked a lot, and they were very afraid of Yang Simiao, the murderous demon king, and finally chose to surrender.

When Zhang Shuo led the generals to Samarkand, all the surrounding alien races had surrendered, and their leader personally rushed to Samarkand to ask to see Yang Siqiao, a thousand guarantees, ten thousand guarantees, never be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and must follow the Tang Dynasty to the death.

This is the majesty of a ruthless man, with Yang Simiao, a ruthless man, here, these aliens have to weigh it carefully.

After Zhang Shuo and the generals arrived, he got a report and said to the generals with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Yang Siqiao would be so majestic and scared these aliens to surrender one after another." ”

"General Yang, you are now known as Yang Butcher and Yang Killing God, what do you think?" Chen Xuanli had a smile on his face and teased.

The generals also wanted to know Yang Siqiao's thoughts, and their eyes were focused on him, waiting for him to answer.

"Whether it's a butcher or a godkiller, it's just a scary name. As long as it scares them, they can call them whatever they like. Yang Siqiao shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

If you change the person and call it like this, you will definitely be very unhappy, and Yang Siqiao is not the right thing, this is really a test of people's nerves.

"Good!" Zhang said that he was highly rewarded, and said: "General Yang is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of personal fame and fortune, good!" ”

"Good!" The generals also praised in unison.

Although Yang Siqiao came from a humble background and was a eunuch who was looked down upon, he was dedicated to the public, and he could not care about personal fame and fortune for the sake of Datang, no matter how much praise was exaggerated, and the generals had to be convinced.

"Since the dispatch of the army, we have had a smooth journey, first taking Talas, and then Samar, as if we were in a no-man's land." Zhang Shuo's face was solemn, and he said: "Take Talas and open the door to Samarkand." After taking Samarkand, countless treasures were seized, not only countless gold and silver treasures, but also mountains of grain and grass, and the problem of grain and grass that plagued us was solved. How to fight next, you all talk about it. ”

Since the dispatch of troops, the Tang army has penetrated more than a thousand miles, and the first step of the plan has been realized. Next, it is necessary to adjust the deployment and re-plan, which needs to be discussed with the generals.

"Great Marshal, the general thinks that we should march quickly, and fight to Gul and restore Persia before Yusuf has time to transfer troops."

"That's right. We must be fast, we must be quick to disrupt, and we must be caught off guard by Yusuf. ”

The generals advocated a quick march to reach Gul before Yusuf could react.

Yusuf originally wanted to use Talas to block the advance of the Tang army, and the Tang army quickly took Talas, which was far beyond Yusuf's imagination, as long as the speed of the Tang army's march was fast enough, it was enough to hit Gul before Yusuf could respond, which was of great benefit to the Tang army.

"Yang Siqiao, what do you think?" Zhang said and asked Yang Siqiao.

Yang Siqiao is a pioneer general, and he is more familiar with the situation of Dashi than anyone else, so it is necessary to ask him for his opinion.

"Dashuai, the general thinks that we should do two things now." Yang Siqiao raised his eyebrows and said, "The first thing is to adjust the deployment." Although we have had a smooth journey, as if we were in a no-man's land, after all, we have gone thousands of miles away from Dashi, and the army needs to be adjusted, and some need to be redeployed. ”

Although the Tang army fought very smoothly, after all, it had been marching thousands of miles, and some situations did not match the original plan, which needed to be adjusted, which was inevitable, and all the generals nodded in agreement.

"It will take some time to adjust, and it will take three to five days at the earliest. Three or five days, we can't afford to waste it. Yang Siqiao's eyes flashed, and he said, "We can do one thing in these three or five days, and that is to make trouble for Yusuf, and this is the second thing." ”

"How are you going to make trouble for Yusuf?" Some generals are puzzled.

These words are exactly what the generals are thinking, and they are all staring at Yang Siqiao with wide eyes.

"The people of Dashi have been waiting for us for decades, and now that we have finally arrived, I think this is a great joy for them." Yang Siqiao analyzed: "As long as this news spreads, it will be enough for the people of Dashi to run to tell each other and welcome our arrival." ”

Before the Persian Empire was destroyed by the Arab Empire, the Persian Empire twice sent envoys to Chang'an for help, and after careful consideration, Tang Taizong refused to send troops on the grounds of long distances. The Tang Dynasty did not reinforce the Persian Empire, which led to the destruction of Persia by the Arab Empire.

But the Tang Dynasty did not do nothing, but took over the Persian royal family and took in the Persian royal family, which was a preparation for a future counteroffensive. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was unable to send troops to the Middle East, because the route of the march was controlled by the Western Turks, and the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty were old enemies, and the Western Turks could not allow the Tang army to pass through its territory.

To take over the Persian royal family is to prepare for future entry into the Middle East. It was precisely because the Persian royal family was protected by the Tang Dynasty that it was able to survive. The influence of the royal family is needless to say, and the Persian people therefore hope that the Tang army will come and rescue them from their dire situation.

For this reason, they have been looking forward to it for decades, but they have not looked forward to the Tang Army.

Now, the Tang army has finally arrived, not to mention anything else, as soon as the news spreads, the Persian people will run to tell each other, they will definitely be overjoyed, and they will definitely come to meet the Tang army.

"We can also provide them with weapons and armor so that they can participate in the war against the Great Eclipse." Yang Sixiao's tone became more and more sharp, and he said: "After the Great Food occupied Persia, they have been bloodily promoting their religion, either believing in Allah or killing their heads, which makes the Persian people hate to the bone, especially the Manichaeans, and they hate the Big Eater Dog to death." If they get our support, they will definitely rise up and cause great trouble to the big dogs. ”

The conquest of the Arab Empire in the early period was tantamount to a catastrophe for the world, and everywhere it passed was ruined, and they would only destroy it, but not govern it. Religious policy, in particular, is even more bloody, either believe in Allah or die. Such a cruel religious policy, if it had been better elsewhere, would have been in great trouble in the homeland of Persia.

Because the Persian homeland is the territory of Manichaeism. Manichaeism has a history of hundreds of years, is the state religion of Persia, and has countless followers, which can be said to be deeply rooted, and it is understandable how difficult it would be for these Manichaeans to abandon their faith and believe in Allah.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Persian homeland has been conquered by the Arab Empire for decades, but it has never been able to stabilize itself.

If the Persian people were supported by the Tang army, and they had weapons and armor, they would definitely rise up and cause great trouble for the Arab Empire.

"We've been doing this for years, and we can continue to do it now." Yang Siqiao finally said.

"Good idea." The generals agreed in unison.

Although the Persian people, even if armed, could not confront the regular armies of the Arab Empire, they were familiar with the situation in their territory and could attack nuisances and destroy roads, which would make Yusuf's mobilization unusually slow.

In this way, the benefits to the Tang Dynasty were obvious.

"I'm most familiar with this, let me do it." Chen Xuanli patted his chest and said with a smile: "In the years when I was in the Western Regions, I was doing things here. (Kavinka is very powerful, the update is unstable, please forgive me, friends.) (To be continued......)
