Chapter 1331: The Eastern Arabian Side
This guy has already been determined, they combined the news that they had not reported before, plus the preparation they had collected recently, to get a few pieces of information first, and then fooled the Salamatan prince, waiting for a suitable opportunity, and then said that there were traitors inside them, and they were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, Prince Salamatan needed the support of these local powerful people, so it would never be possible to punish them, not to mention that such a thing was not our fault, it was all caused by those spies themselves, and even if they wanted to punish them, it would not be possible to punish us.
"My father once said in front of several of us that Governor Faisal is one of the few capable ministers in the entire empire, and the eastern part of the empire can be so calm, which is inseparable from the efforts of His Excellency the Governor, and I have also seen many places to resume production along the way, and in the areas captured by the empire, this can indeed be ranked first."
When he saw these two stacks of folds, Prince Salaman's heart was also very happy.
This shows that his subordinates take his orders seriously, and these people are not idle these days, if they are idle, where do these dozens of messages come from? There is no chance that military intelligence will fall from the sky, and this is something that many people have worked hard to obtain.
When he read the first few letters, Prince Salman still had a smile on his face, but when he saw the fourth one, Prince Salman was no longer interested, and then he began to look at the back at a glance.
It's all dispensable news, what's the temperature like in this city? How about the soldiers and horses of that city? Although this is also very confidential to ordinary people, for the two countries that are about to fight, what we need is military intelligence.
"Your Excellency the Governor, this is what you call a very deep intelligence network, if that's the case, then I want to ask you, where do you expect to be in this battle between our two countries?"
Prince Salaman's words were very sharp, and the tone was not very good, which caused the smile on Governor Faisal's face to disappear, and some of his men were also trembling.
In fact, this is also something that can't be helped, their intelligence personnel have all been killed, and there is not even a tenth of the people who can work for them from Chang'an to the Western Regions, but even if they are the remaining tenth, they don't dare to run outside.
There are so many heads in the two places, and even some people's corpses still have temperature, at this time, you let them go out and risk their lives to find out the news for you, do you think that is possible? No matter how much money is given, I'm afraid no one will do this, this time the Tang court's counterattack is extremely sharp, and the whole family will be beheaded at every turn.
So in the past few months, don't look at them as very idle, but most of the time is used to falsify information, but a lot of falsified information is not in the preface, but anyone who has a brain to read it carefully twice can find the problem here.
"The Tang army is erratic, coupled with the defection of the countries in the Western Regions, where exactly is the war, the subordinates dare not say, but if our country provokes first, then the initiative will be in our hands."
Governor Faisal was capable after all, and soon knew what to answer.
"Then do you know that if we provoke first, then our position and number will be exposed, which is equivalent to putting us on the table, and the Tang army is hidden in the dark, what we are best at is long-range raids, you are now letting us expose everything about ourselves, what do you think in your heart?"
Prince Salamatan is definitely the most capable of the three princes, and in three or two sentences I found the fault in this, according to what you said, we have to give up our strengths, but fight with the enemy to fight for shortcomings, and we don't have much chance of winning for long distances, if we follow your method again, then I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Hearing the stern voice of His Royal Highness the Prince, no one in the room dared to stand, and none of the more than thirty recitals was satisfactory to His Royal Highness the Prince, so it was reasonable for him to be angry.
"Please forgive your sins, please forgive your sins."
Although Governor Faisal was super adaptable, when His Royal Highness threw these folds to the ground, he immediately understood what was going on, His Royal Highness the Prince was a serious person, not those who could only eat, drink and have fun, and he had already seen the clues in these folds.
"You honestly tell me what went wrong with your intelligence system, I have seen all the ones you sent back before, although I haven't gone into it deeply, but how many reports are serious, what are you reporting now, the news that a caravan can get, you told me that you have been planning for three years, are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Prince Salamatan kicked Governor Faisal's body, this guy has to spend millions of taels of silver every year to build this intelligence network, although it cost a little money before, but the news he got back is really useful, and it also makes the entire empire know that there is a rich country in the east, and they are all thinking about how to rob this rich country, so no matter how expensive the intelligence network is, they can bear it.
Now that you have taken out these useless things, doesn't that mean that all the efforts you have made before have been in vain?
"His Royal Highness the Cavalry Prince really doesn't care about our affairs, the people we are looking for accidentally showed their horses' feet, so they were noticed by the Imperial City Division Yamen of the Tang Dynasty, that is, a yamen specializing in foreign spies, they went from Chang'an to the Western Regions, and almost all the people who did things for us were arrested."
Governor Faisal didn't dare to hide it at this time, he saw a trace of anger in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, if he continued to lie, once His Royal Highness the Prince found out again, then I am afraid that he would not even have the opportunity to open his mouth to speak, Prince Salman would do things cleanly, and there would be no fewer ministers killed by him.
"Bastard."
Governor Faisal's words have not been finished, this prince His Royal Highness can't listen to it anymore, I thought that there is a complete intelligence network, so we don't need to worry about the source of intelligence when we fight, this war is almost half won, but after the army came, you actually said that the intelligence network was destroyed, is it an idiot to be an idiot?
