Chapter 306: Peace
The Great Food Country did not launch an attack on the Tang Army, on the one hand, it was bluffed by the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army. Even if he is more numerous than the Tang Army, if the disparity is not very great, I am afraid it will be difficult to win!
What's more, the cavalry of the Tang Army on both sides is also moving closer to this place, and if it is entangled by the cavalry, I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat again. Moreover, the Tang army has the backing of Talas City, so there is no need to worry about supplies. But he is a laborer expedition, and he has no base. It is better to take advantage of the current situation, the Tang army does not dare to entangle, and retreats early.
After a little discussion, the three generals decided to follow the rules of Abu. The order of the Muslim general, retreat to Samarkand.
Seeing that the army of the Great Food Country retreated, Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye were both relieved, now the Tang army has suffered a great loss in combat strength, losing all the main force of the assault, and most of the archers, and the cavalry is still wandering outside, and there is no combat effectiveness at this time!
The two units joined forces and were stationed on the spot for a day's rest. The cavalry units that were taken away by Akon also returned to the team.
The war may be over, but Akon is worried. It turned out that the huge wood charm, he couldn't take it back! He was so anxious that he was spinning around! Green Wing is also very anxious, this is a powerful prop, although there is no attack power, but the defensive ability is super strong!
"Can't you go back to Talas City and talk to your master?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Greenwing's mind, reminding him.
"Hey! Oh, yes! Akon hurriedly summoned Willis and went to Talas, now that he was in a different position and had much more freedom. Unlike those few Tang Army precept holders, they can only obediently follow the large army.
Green Wing didn't leave the Flesh Wall and the Wood Charm either, and she was worried that if she left, the item would disappear on its own. So he and Honzo Dark Sakura are guarding here.
By noon, Akon had arrived with the Sloppy Daoist and the Goblins. This sloppy Taoist has been following the baggage camp, and after being attacked by the cavalry of the Great Food Country, he also followed him to the city of Talas, in addition to looking for wine everywhere, he still does his old job. This strange man, as if this chaotic army has nothing to do with him, and he has no task to see.
Seeing the huge wooden charm standing in the sea of corpses and blood from a distance, the sloppy Taoist was also surprised. Around this Tang Army position, he turned around several times, and praised it in his mouth. When the goblins saw this, they screamed and rushed to the mountain of corpses, jumping and rolling, and seemed to be having a good time.
"I can't think of this, you can really hit it right!" The sloppy Taoist shook his head.
"What?! I can't get it back! Akon hurriedly said, the props that can't be taken back are useless no matter how good they are.
"Show me the prop that collects this big tree." Sloppy Taoists, seeing strange props, are also very interested.
Akon took out the 'Hundred Ghost Book' and handed it to the sloppy Taoist.
The Taoist flipped it over casually, squinted his eyes and said disdainfully: "This broken book can just collect some garbage." This strange tree has grown into a Huangquan ghost tree with the help of this corpse mountain, sea of blood and war spirit! Where can I still collect this broken book?! ”
"How's that to be?" Akon was both delighted and amazed.
"Two ways, one is that you refine this tree and this pile of corpses together! This prop can naturally be recovered. But you have to be an advanced cultivator, just like your master and me. ”
"Then you refine it for me." Akon almost fainted.
"If I refine it, it will become mine, and you can't use ......"
"What's the nonsense then, let's talk about the second way!"
"Did you ask the master that?" The sloppy Taoist is a bit of a possibility.
Green Wing hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded: "Master, you can help us, we finally got a prop, it's a pity to lose it." ”
The sloppy Taoist seemed to be a little jealous of Green Wing, and when he saw her pleading, he hurriedly said: "Actually, it's also simple, as long as you refine this 'Hundred Ghost Book', so that it can accommodate this 'Huangquan Ghost Tree'." ”
"You bull's nose, it's so simple, why are you going around such a big bend?!" Akon jumped up.
"Don't scold me for being a cow nose, when you return to Maoshan and receive the talisman and officially become my disciple, you are also a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, a cow nose!" The sloppy Taoist joked about Akon.
"Hehe, I'll talk about it then. Help me get this 'Hundred Ghosts' Book now!" Akon waved his hand, he was in a hurry now.
The sloppy Taoist nodded, and said with a straight face: "You must refine this prop yourself, and everyone else should step down." ”
Green Wing knew that the sloppy Taoist was going to teach Aken Taoist alchemy, so he hurriedly took his leave, and beckoned Honzo and Dark Sakura to go down the mountain.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Akon took out some wine and meat, changed his face and said, "I said, Master, you can help me see how to get this puppet, the head is broken!" As he spoke, he took out the mountain monster king puppet again.
The sloppy Taoist priest took the pot and took a sip, "Phew, why is this wine so unpalatable, it's all local crappy wine!" It's not filtered yet! Take this kind of wine to honor Master, you really have a conscience! ”
"Cut! You're drinking 'monkey wine', so drink your mouth! This is the most haode wine produced in the local area, if you don't drink it, I am still reluctant to drink it! "I'm going to grab the flask.
The Taoist priest dodged for a moment, "Forget it, let's just order it." This puppet of yours was sacrificed in blood, and it was struck by a powerful spell! Oh, Arabic magic, which Arabic mage have you offended? It doesn't seem like there are such powerful characters in this scene, huh? ”
"Maybe it's some power-up. Can this be fixed? Akon said urgently.
"Well, add some ingredients, and then a blood sacrifice, it should be no problem, let's put it aside for now......"
…………
Green Wing waited for two days in the Tang Army camp, but did not wait for the two partners to return. Duan Xiushi led the Tang cavalry who ambushed the retreating troops of the Great Food Country, but returned to the camp first.
The ambush did not go very well, and the Great Food Country was prepared.
Duan Xiushi saw that there was no chance, so he decisively returned to his headquarters and joined the large army. The troops of the Great Food Country clashed with the Tang Army this time, but they did not take advantage of it and their morale was low. The cavalry did not pursue, allowing Duan Xiushi to return safely.
Zhang Fan wanted to complete the task of supporting medical treatment, and with the help of Patigul, he sent a message in the military camp of Dashiguo that he would return in a few days.
This battle of Talas should be over at this time, but the scene is not over. Gao Xianzhi sent an urgent battle report of 800 miles to Chang'an to report the victory. It is estimated that it will have to wait for the official confirmation of the imperial court before it is finished.
On this day, Akon returned to the Tang army camp in Talas City exhausted, and fell asleep! This guy seems to be mentally exhausted.
Two days later, Zhang Fan and the Patigul team actually came to Talas City together. It turned out that when Zhang Fan was in the military camp of the Great Food Country, he not only completed the task of treating the enemy's wounded, but also proposed that Patigul persuade the commander of the Great Food Country, Abu. Muslims negotiated peace with the Tang Dynasty.
This time they came with the Great Food Country Messenger, so it was a little late. This battle of Talas, due to Zhang Fan Aken's strategy, led to a major change in the outcome of the battle and affected the course of history. In terms of battle losses, the two sides can be said to have been tied. However, the Great Food Country fully retreated, and although the Tang Dynasty did not annihilate the main force of the Great Food Country, it repelled the Great Food Country, so it was considered a victory.
Moreover, the Tang Army's strong combat ability and tenacious style made the commanders and generals of the Great Food Country very shocking! From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to have another war with Datang, at least in this era.
And Datang also suffered a little loss, understanding that the current black-clothed food is not the previous white-clothed food, and the combat ability is also very strong, and there are not enough troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat them, so he also has the heart to negotiate peace.
Therefore, Zhang Fan's plan was to reconcile the historical trend of the outcome of this battle, so it was very responsive to both sides. This is also the political wisdom that a wise man like Patigul cannot reach.
As far as Zhang Fan is concerned, he is not catering to political needs. It's just that in history, in this battle, after the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, among the Tang soldiers who were captured by the Great Food Country, there were two major events that had a huge impact on future generations!
The first thing is that there were soldiers in the Tang army who were proficient in papermaking, and after being captured to Samarkand, they introduced Chinese papermaking to the Arab shijie, and thus to the West, affecting the entire Shijie civilization process!
The second thing is that Du Huan, a civil official of the Tang Army, was also captured in history to the Great Food Country, and later traveled to the West, arrived in Africa, and wrote a travelogue "Jing Xingji", which also has a certain historical impact on the cultural exchanges between China and the West.
And since this battle was repelled by himself and his comrades-in-arms, the Great Food Country was repulsed, so these two major events are naturally likely to change. This is a pity for Zhang Fan, who tends to the normal exchange of shijie culture.
What's more, Zhang Fan understands in reality that at this time, the Abbasid dynasty overthrew the Umayyad dynasty, but inherited the culture of the previous dynasty, which is the era when it can compete with the Tang Dynasty culturally.
During this period, the Abbasids made brilliant achievements in medicine, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, philosophy, history, geography, literature, and grammar.
If he can promote cultural exchanges between the two sides, Zhang Fan feels that he has experienced a very important scene in this history.
After listening to Zhang Fan's thoughts, Patigul became even more convinced that he had helped them, which was a very correct decision. Oh, the decision of wisdom. So he used all his might, through his influence, to make Abu . The Muslims sent messengers. This thing seems to be big, but to be honest, it's not that difficult to follow the trend.
Because the Abbasid Dynasty had just been founded, it was a period when domestic disputes were quelled and a smooth transition was needed, and no one wanted to make such a big enemy as the Tang Empire at this time! Abu. Muslims have long been aware of this.
After entering the city of Talas, the civil envoy of the Free Abbasid Empire negotiated with the commander of the Tang Dynasty. Patigul himself paid a direct visit to the Apdu team, and no one knew about the negotiations.
