Pakistan is the birthplace of Indian civilization, and later suffered from foreign invasions, and the decline of Indian civilization, which caused the center of gravity of Indian civilization to shift eastward to India.

Historically, Pakistan nominally belonged to India, but in fact India has never been fully united, and even Ashoka, who is the pride of Indians, has not been able to truly unify India in its entirety.

The invasion of the Arab Empire was of great significance to Pakistan, as the Arab Empire introduced Muslims to the region, which made the religion of the region very different from that of India, and Pakistan became more independent of India.

This was an important trigger for the "Indo-Pakistani War" in modern times.

Li Longji led his army into Pakistan and was a little dizzy after seeing the enthusiasm of the Pakistani tribes and people.

"Did you hear? The Tang army is coming, and we welcome the Tang army. ”

"Tang Jun is amiable and lovely, like a relative, we must be closer to Tang Jun."

"The Tang army is not only strong in combat, it is difficult to have opponents, but even the military discipline is extremely strict, it does not damage the people, and does not take anything from the people, which is much better than those damn armies in Tianzhu. Tang Jun is our relative, and we have to hook up with Tang Jun no matter what. ”

"If you get on the line with Tang Jun, you will have the opportunity to go to Chang'an, the capital of Tang, to have a good experience. You know what? Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the largest and most prosperous city in the world today, and it is said that there are more than a million people there. Millions, our tribes don't even add up to one-twelfth of them. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. ”

"Don't talk about our tribe, even if you count all the tribes within tens of thousands of miles near us, there are not millions of people. I don't know how the Don did it. ”

"The Tang people are rich. Sit under one’s own vine and fig tree. Life passed freely. What we can compare. It's good that we can have a full meal, this person is really angry compared to others. ”

As soon as the news of the arrival of the Tang army spread, the various tribes could not be calm, and clamored to catch up with the Tang army.

The prestige of the Tang Dynasty was great, not to mention Pakistan, which was very close to the Western Regions, and even countries far away in the Middle East, such as the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire, knew the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise. The Persian Empire would not have asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops at the moment of its demise, and Balus would not have taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty that the tribes of Pakistan were unwilling to welcome the Tang army as soon as they received the news of the arrival of the Tang army. Because the Tang Dynasty was too rich, if they were to join the Tang Army, there would be many benefits, and the biggest benefit was to let them go to the Tang Dynasty and see the richness of the Tang Dynasty.

In particular, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, made them yearn for it the most, which was the legendary giant city with a population of one million.

Tang Chang'an. It is the first giant city in human history with a permanent population of more than one million, and it is extremely prosperous. All the foreign people who have come to Chang'an are deeply impressed, shocked, and after going back, they must spread the prosperity of Chang'an.

After discussing and acting, the chiefs of these tribes immediately rushed to meet the Tang army with people and heavy gifts.

For a time, within a few hundred miles of the Tianzhu border, there were Pakistanis everywhere who were enthusiastic and rushed to meet the Tang Army.

More and more people gathered, and later, there were countless crowds, all with happy smiles on their faces, as if they were welcoming their ancestors.

"Rumble!" The sound of thunderous hooves sounded faintly.

"It's coming! The Tang Army is coming! These Pakistani people were very happy, grinning, looking ahead with wide eyes, looking forward to Tang Jun appearing early.

It didn't take long for a long dragon to roll towards them, and the sound was amazing.

I can see it clearly, this is indeed the Tang Army, and countless banners have the word "Tang" written on them, fluttering in the wind and hunting.

"This is the banner of the Tang Army, and I know the word 'Tang'."

"It's really Tang Jun. If nothing else, this flag alone is so majestic. ”

"Although the banner of the Tang Army is majestic, it is far inferior to the majesty of the Tang Army.

"You're going to pee, your whole family wants to pee."

In the shouting of the Pakistani people, the Tang army came closer, saw more clearly, and attracted a scream.

"Oh my God, this is Tang Jun? It's so majestic. Like a god. ”

"This embryo, this majesty, is like killing a god."

"What kind of armor is this? Not to mention the bright light, it is also wrapped all over the body. If nothing else, this armor alone is enough to make the enemy uncomfortable. ”

The Pakistani people pointed and shouted, with a look of shock on their faces. What shocked them the most was the Mingguang armor.

Mingguang armor is the top armor in ancient China, and it is also the top armor in the ancient world of mankind, with good defense, if you can have such a pair of armor, it must be a very stylish thing. The people of Pakistan were both shocked and admired, and they were eager to exchange with the Tang Army.

"Let's Jean! Let's Jean! Let's make it! Tang Jun shouted loudly, like thunder.

The Pakistani people had the heart to get close to the Tang army, but they were afraid of the might of the Tang army and did not dare to give way.

As soon as the road was awayed, the Tang army quickly passed through Guò, and there was no intention of stopping at all, which made these Pakistani people regret for a while, and they didn't even have a chance to get close.

Immediately after, they were full of praise.

"The Tang Army's orders are very strict, and it is really rare not to deal with us people!"

"If it were the Tianzhu army, they would definitely kill us, rob us, and humiliate our sisters."

"Like Tang Jun, he is the real king's army."

The Pakistani people are very appreciative of the fact that the Tang Army did not target them, did not kill them, and did not oppress them.

Historically, the Tianzhu people have always wanted to unify Pakistan, and from time to time they will send troops into Pakistan to burn, kill and loot, which makes the Pakistani people hateful. When they saw the Tang Army, they naturally thought of the Tianzhu Army and hated the Tianzhu Army.

"Zhang said, find some people who can speak well and appease them." Li Longji saw the situation clearly and knew that this had to be dealt with and appeased.

"Don't worry, prince, I understand." Zhang said he knew the move was important. It can be converted to the hearts of the people of Pakistan. This was of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

After the war with the Arab Empire in the future. If a large amount of military supplies were to be transported from India, it would have to be channelled through Pakistan, and Pakistan would be subject to the Tang Dynasty, which would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang army pacified, the Pakistani people were greatly rejoiced and convinced.

However, Li Longji led the army to continue to advance, and there was no trouble in passing through Guò Pakistan, and there was no battle at all. It's just a march.

Soon, the Don army entered the territory of Afghanistan again.

After receiving the news, the people of Afghanistan, like the people of Pakistan, rushed to meet the Tang army, and the Tang army's movement in Afghanistan was unusually smooth, and it was also a march.

However, the unexpected happened.

XXXXXXXXX

To the west of the Afghan border, a large army appeared, which was none other than the Arab Imperial Army under the leadership of Gu Taibai.

Since Gu Taibai was instructed, he led the army eastward. Along the way, the fight was unusually smooth, and it can be said that it was a wind and a fall. Without encountering decent resistance, we finally came to the border of Afghanistan.

"Ahead is Afghanistan, as long as we enter Afghanistan, we can take Afghanistan. Once we occupy Afghanistan, we will be able to make this place our granary, and we will be one step closer to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and we will be able to better threaten the Tang Dynasty. Gu Taibai rode on a good Arabian steed, his eyes widened, looking ahead, and he was very proud.

If the Arab Empire wanted to conquer China, it was faced with a big problem, that is, how to solve the problem of grain and grass.

A large country like the Tang Dynasty was a fierce rival of the Arab Empire, and there were bound to be many bloody battles, many tough battles, and great consumption. If the problem of grain and grass cannot be solved, it will not be possible to conquer China.

Yusuf's solution was to create a "forward base", that is, to conquer some rich regions near the Western Regions and use them as strategic bases for the Arab Empire.

Afghanistan is rich and close to China, and if Afghanistan were to be taken, it would be of great benefit to the Arab Empire.

This is an important reason why Yusuf sent Gu Taibai to the east.

"After we occupy Afghanistan and then occupy Pakistan, we will have two rich lands very close to China, and the conquest of China is inevitable." Gu Taibai's eyes sparkled, and with a wave of his right hand, he ordered loudly, "Enter Afghanistan!" If there is anyone who does not obey, kill! ”

The Arab Empire is known for its bloodshed, and has established a brutal rule with an iron and bloody hand, and anyone who does not believe in Allah should be killed.

At this moment, a team of scouts galloped over and reported to Gu Taibai: "My lord, I found the Tang Army." ”

"Tang Jun?" Gu Taibai's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of disbelief, and said, "Is it really Tang Jun?" ”

"My lord, it's true." The scout hurriedly affirmed: "The Tang army is coming westward, and there are countless of them, like the tide of the sea, boundless." ”

"Are you mistaken? How did Tang Jun come here? How did it come so much? Although Gu Taibai was shrewd, he didn't quite believe that the Tang Army would arrive so soon.

Based on his understanding of the Tang Dynasty, it was very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to enter the Western Regions, and it was necessary to pass through the desert Gobi, which was uninhabited for thousands of miles. Moreover, it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty to transport supplies to the Western Regions, and it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to send a large number of troops in the Western Regions, let alone boundless.

"Yes, sir. It's what we've seen with our own eyes. The scout reaffirmed.

"Hmm." Gu Taibai's eyebrows raised, and when his thoughts turned, he suddenly figured it out, his face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good!" The Don army conquered Pakistan first! ”

Pakistan was also the target of the Arab Empire's eastward advance, a strategic base that the Arab Empire had to occupy, and it fell into the hands of the Tang Army, which was not good news for the Arab Empire.

"Let's go! Fight the Tang Army! Gu Taibai immediately made a decision, led the army into Afghanistan, and faced the Tang army.

Afghanistan and Pakistan were too important for the Arab Empire. If we can't occupy these two regions, we can talk about conquering China.

At the same time, Li Longji also received a military report: "What? Discover the Great Food Army? ”

Although Li Longji had long expected that he would encounter the Great Food Army when he marched westward this time, he did not expect that it would come so quickly. (To be continued......)
