For Li Xiang's sudden return, many people in Chang'an City felt puzzled, in their opinion, wasn't it the army of the West that had appeared in the Great Food? What's the big deal, what kind of army can be put in our eyes when we have been fighting in the south and north all these years? If you want to do them, you can do them.

Some people are relatively close to Li Xiang, so under the influence of Li Xiang, they naturally know that this Arab empire is very powerful, whether it is the people or the army, it can be regarded as a strong opponent of the Tang Dynasty.

But some people are different, they have been stunned by the victory of the Tang Dynasty over the years, in their opinion, no matter what kind of country it is, it is impossible to bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty, as long as we are all united, what kind of enemy is not in our eyes, and even some people have said that only our army in the Western Regions can defeat them, His Royal Highness Taisun is really a bit of a fuss.

This kind of remarks occupy the mainstream in Chang'an City, look at the children of the nobles who come to Chang'an City to study, which of them is not bullish? Isn't it already defeated by us now? I'm afraid this so-called Arab empire doesn't have much ability, it's nothing more than a bluff, and after we defeat them, we have to let them see how powerful the Tang Dynasty is.

Of course, there are some people who say this, and they think that Li Xiang came back from the south in a hurry to establish a higher prestige.

Li Xiang has won too many victories over the years, and everyone's ears are already calloused, so no matter what kind of victory Li Xiang achieves, it is impossible for everyone to lift Li Xiang to that position as before, so Li Xiang must set up an enemy for himself, an enemy similar to the situation in Datang.

Only by defeating such an enemy can Li Xiang's prestige continue to rise.

For their thoughts, the wise man shook his head directly, Li Xiang has not done such a deceitful thing for so many years since he rose to now, not to mention that now even Admiral Tiance has it, what is the use of engaging in such a thing? Li Xiang's prestige is already ranked first in China.

And as long as it is fake, it will definitely leave some drawbacks, once it is found out by others, it will be a crisis for Li Xiang's prestige, and the risk and benefit are not proportional, but if you have a brain, you will not do such a thing, and Li Xiang will naturally not do it.

In the midst of all kinds of gossip and suspicions, Li Xiang hurried back to the capital, and directly entered the palace, and did not do anything else, but directly explained to Li Shimin the power of the Arab Empire.

It's not the first time Li Shimin has heard something like this, Li Xiang has said it several times, but with such a huge empire in his hands, Li Shimin is inevitably a little fluttering, our empire has reached the largest in history, are you still afraid of any bullshit?

"No matter what, I still think it's too hasty, the situation in the south is very good now, we can't be messed up by the other party, you should still come back after the things in the south are over, not to mention that the Western Regions have already responded, this is a twist and turn just received, and we haven't turned to the south yet."

It turned out that when Li Xiang was in the south, after receiving the recitals from Chang'an City, he would immediately copy a copy and send them out, but Li Xiang was already on his way back, so these recitals were not sent.

Seeing Xiao Shougui and Cheng Chumo's arrangement, Li Xiang also nodded beside him, this is also a very honest and burden-bearing arrangement, so that you can also try the reality of those Arab armies, and at the same time, there are not too many Tang troops participating in the war, even if it fails, it will have no impact on my Tang military prestige.

"The emperor's grandfather is right, but this country is like a piece of my heart, every time I hear about this country, my grandson always feels a little depressed, so I still prepare to solve it first, as for the man's side, this is some arrangement left by the grandson, we should be able to occupy the whole territory of Zhenla in a few months, as for the Tianzhu country, it is better to let it go a little."

Li Xiang also did not dispute with Li Shimin on this matter, after all, the pattern of the two is different, although Li Shimin controls the entire country, but he does not know much about the future situation, the Arab Empire has fought with the Tang Dynasty in history.

Of course, that war should have been in the Tianbao period, but now that the Arab Empire has penetrated into the Green Mountains in advance, it means that because of the arrival of Li Xiang, the entire history has undergone certain changes.

In Li Shimin's eyes, Tianzhu should be a very big country, and Li Shimin is not interested in the surrounding small countries, so he thought that Li Xiang would attack the Tianzhu Kingdom, so he could go to Mount Tai to worship the sky.

Of course, although Li Shimin was not satisfied, Li Shimin was also an excellent military strategist, and he was not sure of some situations on the front line, so he couldn't give orders to Li Xiang casually, which was related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty troops.

"You have been operating military affairs all these years, since you think the current situation is not very good, then do it according to your ideas, do you really want to go to the Western Regions in person this time?"

Li Shimin still didn't take the affairs of the Western Regions seriously, in his opinion, with the Cheng brothers over there, coupled with a person with brains like Xiao Shougui, the three of them would definitely be able to see the Western Regions very well, and there was no need to travel long distances to the place where birds don't.

"Imperial Grandfather, come and see, this is the western border of our country, that is, the area of the Green Mountains, the Arab Empire has penetrated, here we originally competed with Tubo for the Western Regions, but Tubo does not have that ability now, if we don't care, it will be three or two years at most, and the entire Western Regions is likely to become theirs, after all, they have a common language."

Compared with some people in the Western Regions, the Han people are inherently deficient, and these people in the Western Regions are somewhat similar to the Great Cannibals.

If it had been a long period of national integration, Li Xiang would certainly not be afraid of this, but we have only occupied the Western Regions for a few years, and there is no integration at all.

Li Shimin's own military attainments are very deep, after listening to Li Xiang's explanation at this time, he also realized the seriousness, small forces are insignificant to us, and there is no need to even send troops, just relying on the prestige of the Tang Dynasty can bring down the other party, but if there is an empire similar to the Tang Dynasty, those things are not easy to say......
