1333 Goodwill is mutual
In fact, Governor Faisal's luck was quite good, at least he saved his life, although the position was not kept, but he still worked in his original position, and as long as he made a big contribution in the future, then this position was still his.
Compared to those who died, this guy is already quite lucky, you have done an errand, so that you people have not been beheaded, this is already the greatest mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince.
In the next period of time, Governor Faisal did not dare to relax in any way, and immediately mobilized all the forces under his hands, and must investigate where the main force of the Tang army is stationed, the army of the Arab Empire has come, and it is impossible to stay in Samarkand all the time.
If they were allowed to stay here all the time, the surrounding people would not be able to stand these people, and there would be no discipline control, although the barracks would also distribute some food and drink to them, but these people were still willing to go out and rob.
Shule
After several days of rapid marching, the Tang army had come here, but the king of Shule left an empty city.
"It seems that this old guy heard the news, we sent him three thousand soldiers, and let his two princes go to Chang'an City, but this old guy didn't hear the news from the middle at all, I really thought he was bold, and now I know what's going on, all the people are gone, and the whole city has become an empty city."
General Molun searched several times with people inside and out, but did not find that there were more than 300 Han merchants in any living city, and now all of them were killed, and it seems that they also sat down for blood when they left.
"Let's find someone to settle these merchants, we didn't give a warning in advance, if we had given a warning in advance, maybe it wouldn't be like this."
When Cheng Chuliang saw these corpses, he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, this is our compatriots, who responded to the call of the imperial court and came here to do business, and in the end it turned out to be such a result.
"How far is it from here to Samarkhan?"
When the people below are working, they find a relatively leeward place, otherwise you won't even have a chance to speak, and the sand that comes here can make your mouth very uncomfortable, and it is indeed quite difficult to fight in such a place.
Although there are many places with abundant water and grass in the entire Western Regions, if you go there, the movement of the army will inevitably be leaked out, no matter which road we take, we may be well known by the enemy, in case we are ambushed by them, it will be really troublesome, the speed of the Arab cavalry is not a joke.
Therefore, in order to ensure our safety, it can only take a road that no one else can think of, and if we do not encounter any enemies in the middle and reach the city of Samarkand directly, then we have already achieved half the success of this trip.
"At least there are more than 2,600 miles, and there is no good road to go along the way, but our speed is okay, at most it can be passed in a month's work."
General Morun estimated a little, how can he say that he is also a person from the Western Regions, he had been to Samarkhan City in the early years, but at that time it was not the territory of the Arab Empire, and it was still in the city-state system at that time, but when the people of the Arab Empire came, this place became theirs.
In fact, General Morun understands that whether it is their Gaochang or the Western Regions, when facing the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, the countries have no resistance at all, so they can only find one of them to submit, and this is their day.
Whether you want to or not, this world has already stipulated strong and weak countries, if you want to struggle, I am afraid you will not be able to fight in a short time, so you can only accept your fate, now you don't even have the opportunity to struggle, the entire Western Regions is under the competition of the two empires, and there is no other way except the team.
King Shule must have finished standing in line, and the things she did before, if they were found out by the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that this guy's whole family would die, so before the Tang Dynasty army came, he had already taken everything he could take away.
"I hope this guy has good luck, but according to what we know about the army of the Arab Empire, even if he takes the whole city with him, it will not end well, and these people are nothing more than infidels in the eyes of the people of the Arab Empire."
Now believe in Zhe
There are not many people of the Lord, especially in this land, and perhaps some of the people under the king of Shule believe it, but there are many people who do not believe it, and if you think of them as heretics, then there will be joy.
"The order is to go down and camp here for two days to rest, and then we will advance after the storm has passed, and advance against the storm, the loss to us is too great, there is no need for this."
Cheng Chuliang issued a new order, although they are eager to find the army of the Arab Empire, but they also have to pay attention to ways and means, if they move forward against the storm, they don't know how many war horses and camels they have lost along the way, so it is better to take a good rest, and then move forward after recuperating their spirits, and on a clear day, they will walk more than three times more every day than in this weather.
While they were waiting for news, the horses in the army also returned, and the surrounding cities were the same as before, except for the king of Shule, all the other countries were honestly staying in their royal cities, and the troops they had prescribed had also come.
In addition, the quartermaster also came to report, and all the various materials they and several surrounding countries purchased were also sent over, which can be regarded as a stimulus to the local economy, according to Cheng Chumo, the price is ten percent higher than usual.
Now not only do they have to force it, but they also have to let them see certain benefits, the people of the Arab Empire come to grab things, not only do we not rob your things, but also ten percent higher than the usual price, if it can be warm, then everyone will live in harmony in the future.
But if you still have a cold heart after doing this, then don't blame our Datang court can't stand you, all people have tempers, we have paid kindness, but what we have gained is a cold heart, then don't blame us, Datang is colder than you, and there will be nothing left in the whole city at that time, this is the current policy of Datang.
