With Yu Sufu's intelligence, he would not have imagined that Li Longji's recall of the generals of the Western Regions at this time must be to discuss the matter of sending troops. When these generals returned to the Western Regions, it was the time when the Tang Dynasty marched westward.

And the current Yusuf is in a hurry, and the Persian homeland is extremely unstable. The instability of Persia meant that he could catch fire in his backyard at any time. At this juncture, the Tang Dynasty was about to move westward again, and even with Yousufu's heart and courage, he felt a headache.

"The Chinese are going to do it?" The generals were also surprised.

Although they had long wanted to enter China and conquer China, they knew very well that this was not a good opportunity to go to war with the Tang Dynasty. Because the Persian homeland is their strategic base, the Persian homeland is unstable, and it will make them suffer a great loss if they venture into war.

However, whether to fight or not can no longer be spoken by the Arab Empire, but by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty said that it would be fought, then, the big war would definitely begin. The Arab Empire can only fight passively, and it has to fight if it fights, and it has to fight if it doesn't!

"It doesn't matter." After all, Yousuf is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he has a bold heart, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Since the Chinese want to fight, then we will accompany them to fight." ”

Isn't that nonsense? The Tang Dynasty is going to war, can you not accompany it? "To borrow the words of the Chinese, this is called water coming to Tutun, soldiers coming to block, it's not a big deal." Yusuf waved his hand magnificently and said, "Let's discuss how to fight this battle." ”

"My lord, I think that the Chinese's march this time is because the good ones do not come, and the people who come are not good." Muhammad was the first to speak, "In the past, it would have been difficult for the Chinese to station a large army in the Western Regions. Today, the situation is very different. China can send hundreds of thousands of troops into the Western Regions. Yes. This battle is a battle of life and death. ”

In the past, the Tang Dynasty did not conquer Tianzhu and could not get enough grain and grass, which limited the Tang Dynasty from stationing a large number of troops in the Western Regions. Now, Li Longji has conquered Tianzhu, and he can transfer grain and grass from Tianzhu, so that the grain and grass in the Western Regions are sufficient, and the Tang Dynasty can transfer a large number of troops.

these years. The Tang Dynasty made great efforts to govern Tianzhu and achieved great success, and the people of Tianzhu lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"Yes, I think that we should not clash with the Chinese and avoid the Chinese's edge." Muhammad continued: "We can drag, drag the squadron down, and then move the camera." ”

"Great idea!" Gu Taibai was very much in favor of this approach. Said: "Even if China no longer has to worry about the lack of grain and grass in the Western Regions, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the Western Regions. If nothing is done, this will be an extremely heavy blow to the morale of the army, and it will not be long before the morale of the Tang army will be low, and we will be able to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. "Gu Taibai is worthy of being a famous general of the Arab Empire, and he sees things very clearly.

If the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty did nothing in the Western Regions, it would be a very heavy blow to the morale of the army.

It is conceivable that the Don army came with high morale and was bent on breaking the Arab Empire. In the end, if you can't act and make meritorious contributions in the Western Regions, who will have high morale? Wealthy sweet marriage: naughty little cute wife

"This delay can also buy us time." Muhammad continued: "As long as we have enough time, it will be enough to calm Khorasan, and we will not have to worry about it anymore, and we can fight a big war with the Chinese." ”

What the Arab Empire needs most now is time to regain its Persian homeland. If they really bought time, it would be extremely detrimental to the Tang Dynasty.

"Moreover, hundreds of thousands of troops entering the Western Regions, even if there is no shortage of food and grass, it will be difficult to bear such a heavy burden after a long time. As long as it drags on, sooner or later there will be problems with the grain and grass of the Chinese. Muhammad added.

The conquest of Tianzhu and the use of guò Tianzhu to solve the problem of grain and grass in the Western Regions was indeed a good way for the Tang Dynasty. However, hundreds of thousands of troops, people eat horses and chew, and they have to eat a mountain in a day, and they need countless grains and grass. After a long time, whether Tianzhu can bear it is still in two words.

If Tianzhu can't bear it, the Tang Dynasty will have to transfer grain from the mainland, which will be a big trouble. This will shake the world and make the Tang Dynasty unstable.

The reason why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's eastward expedition to Goryeo failed, and finally made the Sui Dynasty perish, was because there were too many troops and too many people, which caused the world to shake, and the people rose up, and finally the Sui Dynasty was destroyed.

"Not bad!" Yusuf looked at Muhammad appreciatively and said, "Your idea is very good! We need a fortified city to block the advance of the Chinese, you say, where is the appropriate? ”

"Lord Xie's praise." It was a privilege to receive Yusuf's praise, and Muhammad was overjoyed.

"My lord, I think it's better to be Heng Ross." Muhammad walked up to the large military map, pointed to it, and analyzed: "Hengros is located at the junction of the Western Regions and Samarkand, and its location is extremely important. Only need to take Hengros, and the Chinese will open the door to Samarkand and can drive straight into Samarkand. ”

Speaking of this, his voice was slightly raised, and he said: "And Samarkand is very rich, with many mouths and abundant products, if the Chinese get here, they don't have to worry about food and grass anymore." I think that in order to take Samarkand, the Chinese will attack Hengros at any cost. ”

The location of Hengros is very important and is the gateway to Samarkand. If Hengros is defeated, it will also open the way into Samarkand. As long as the rich Samarkand is taken, the problem of grain and grass in the Tang Dynasty will be solved, and there will be no need to transport grain and grass from Tianzhu.

Transporting grain from Tianzhu was certainly a good way to solve the problem of grain and grass in the Tang Dynasty, but it was still too far away. Bringing grain and grass from Tianzhu to Persia? That's impossible. Because it's too far.

Therefore, the practice of "feeding the enemy for the sake of the enemy" has become inevitable, and in modern parlance, it means "feeding the war with war," and the army can eat wherever it goes. A son of a high family who is reborn

It is precisely because Hengros is so important that Gao Xianzhi in history led the Tang army to march westward, wanting to take Hengros and then Samarkand. If he succeeds, the Tang Dynasty's grain and grass in the Western Regions will be solved, and then the Tang army will enter the Western Regions in a big way and fight a big war with the Arab Empire.

It was precisely seeing this possibility that the Arab Empire mobilized heavy troops and fought a battle with the Tang Dynasty at Hengrus.

This battle. Played for five days and five nights. The Don Army always had the upper hand. Pressing the Arab Empire to fight. Unfortunately, Gao Xianzhi's forces were insufficient to achieve the final victory, which gave the Arab Empire the opportunity to rebel against the Qarluqs. The Qarluq Ministry opened up its defense area, and the Arab Empire entered the back of the Tang army, and the Tang army suffered from the enemy on its back and had to retreat.

The Battle of Hengros was the Tang Dynasty. It is also the farthest place in China to the west.

The Tang Dynasty collapsed here, making countless descendants sigh.

After this battle, the Tang Dynasty showed a strong ability to recover, and it only took a little more than a year to restore the strength of the Western Regions, and when it was about to make a comeback, the "Anshi Rebellion" exploded. The Tang Dynasty declined and had to withdraw from the Western Regions.

"You've come up with a great idea!" Yusuf spoke highly of it and used the word "very good", which greatly excited Muhammad.

"At present, Heng Ross is not enough to take on the heavy task of blocking the advance of the Tang Army. It also needs to be repaired and reinforced. Yusuf's eyes sparkled, and he said, "We can think of this." Li Longji will also think of this, he will inevitably bring a large number of siege equipment. Therefore, the reinforcement of Hengros has become the first priority. ”

This is very reasonable, the Arab Empire can think of this, and the Tang Dynasty can also think of it. The Tang Dynasty will inevitably manufacture some siege equipment, and if Heng Rus is not reinforced, it will be difficult to stop the Tang army.

"Especially the city gates, they have to be strengthened, and the Chinese's crossbows are terrible." Yusuf was impressed by the crossbow, which was a siege weapon, and if the city gate was not reinforced, it would inevitably be broken under the repeated attacks of the crossbow.

"Moreover, Heng Ross also needs a good general to sit in." Yusuf's gaze was on Gutaibai and Muhammad.

"My lord, I would like to go." Gu Taibai and Muhammad stood up and said loudly.

"Hmm." Yu Sufu was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of these two henchmen, and said: "Gu Taibai, it is a great shame that you were defeated in Kabul, this time, I will give you a chance to be ashamed." You're in charge of Hengross! ”

"Master Xie." Gu Taibai was so excited that tears flowed out.

The defeat in Kabul made Gu Taibai very uncomfortable, and he was thinking about how to be ashamed all the time. Yusuf gave him this opportunity, and he was excited.

"You remember, no matter what the cost, you have to keep Hengross for me." Yusufu's face sank, and he said coldly: "To borrow a phrase from the Chinese, I hope you will be ashamed and courageous!" If you fail, you don't have to come to see me! "Liaohua, the pioneer of the Three Kingdoms

"People are in the city!" Gu Taibai held his head high and said with his head held high.

If he fails again, he will not have the face to see the wise and great Governor, and it is better to kill himself.

After Gu Taibai received the order, he immediately set off and rushed to Hengros to prepare for war.

Chang'an, Daming Palace.

"Gao Lishi, today is a good day for the generals of the Western Regions to return, you must do your best to prepare a sumptuous banquet for them." Li Longji had a smile on his face and said to Gao Lishi.

Today is the day when Chen Xuanli, Yang Sixuan, and Xue Zhi, the generals who guarded the Western Regions, returned. Although Chen Xuanli is a courtier, for Li Longji, they are still friends.

When Li Longji was still very down, Chen Xuanli and the others followed Li Longji, and together with Li Longji, they broke the Turks, destroyed Tibet, conquered the Western Regions, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and conquered the Western Regions.

This is the love of "comrades-in-arms" and brotherhood. When they came back, Li Longji was very happy.

"It's been a few years, I don't know if they can change?" Li Longji's eyes flashed.

"Your Majesty, the generals have arrived." Colliers is busy reminding.

"Let's go. Go meet them. Li Longji flicked his sleeves and smiled.

"Your Majesty, are you going to greet you personally?" Colliers was a little surprised.

Li Longji is a high emperor, and he went to greet him in person, which is too much to look down on Chen Xuanli.

"Of course." Li Longji nodded heavily and said, "Gao Lishi, when you followed me, I was nothing, just a false name of a prince. You have worked hard and have no regrets, and I am very pleased. Similarly, the same is true for Chen Xuanli, Yang Siqiao and Xue Zhi. They are both my generals and my friends. I miss them very much, and when they return, I will naturally go to greet them. ”

"Corporal Lixian, it is my blessing to be able to follow Your Majesty." Gao Lishi was very moved and said: "In the next life, Gao Lishi will still follow His Majesty." ”

Li Longji did not doubt this, because Gao Lishi was the most loyal person to Li Longji and could sacrifice his life to Li Longji.
