"In this way, all your goods have been bought by the imperial court, and in addition, they will give you money on time every month, so you can be a guide for us for the time being."

After listening to Chen Liu's words, Cheng Chuliang felt that this person was of great use, after all, he knew the surrounding situation very well, and he was a person we could trust, if we were to find someone else as a guide, there would be some speculation in my heart, and this person would definitely not harm us.

"What is the general talking about, although I have been in the Western Regions for so long, but my father and mother are still in the Ganshan area, and the graves of the ancestors of the whole family are still there, make some efforts to the imperial court, if I still need money, what is it for? My two sons and I are very familiar with this generation, and the general is used despite it. ”

Chen Liu hurriedly waved his hand, in fact, after the imperial court drove these people away, they would be able to do business with confidence, although there were some thieves in the Western Regions before, but under the suppression of the Tang Dynasty, the number of these people became smaller and smaller.

Now that the people of the Arab Empire are coming, their business is getting more and more difficult, and these people are going to rob at every turn, so after driving them away, of course the merchants of the Western Regions will set off cannons to celebrate, and now they can make some efforts for this job, so what do they need money for?

"The policy of the imperial court is like this, don't shirk it, you come and take a look, this is our march route, can you see if there are any other modifications? We are going to take Shiguo City in the next few days. ”

How to attack on the sand table next to it is marked, of course, it is impossible to say the people and various ordnance and equipment used on each road, and you must keep a hand for anyone, this is also a basic criterion for Cheng Chuliang's life, the people in front of you can be trusted, in case you get drunk and go out to talk nonsense, then wouldn't it also leak our military secrets?

According to the strategy of the Tang army, it will bypass the mountain peak in the east of Shiguo City, and then fight in two ways.

"The general's strategy is very good, but the cavalry of the Arab Empire is very fast, and there are people in my caravan who ride very fast, and they can't run when they send me a letter, they and their war horses have been specially trained, and they are very fast to run, and these people don't shoot arrows on their war horses, they all ride fast horses and use scimitars to harvest people's heads."

When he remembered this scene, Chen Liu shivered, it was the fastest young man in his caravan, just to make them run faster, but in the end he was killed by the people of the Arab Empire, and those people rode on war horses as if they were flying.

"What this brother said is that the last time we fought them, we almost rushed into our camp, but fortunately, our chain crossbow is still powerful."

Thinking of the last battle, Li Chengyi and General Mo Lun both nodded, this time if the troops were divided into two ways, they must not stretch the front too long, if it was too long, it would be equivalent to giving them a chance.

"So you mean we're going to attack all the way?"

Cheng Chuliang had already decided to attack in two ways, but in this way, it would disperse our forces to attack all the way, although the defense was strong, but there was no way to chase and intercept it, and even said that there was no way to pursue, our speed was not on the same level as the opponent's speed.

Li Chengyi and General Mo Lun both nodded, the two of them still remember the scene of the black-robed knights attacking last time very clearly, if it weren't for us twisting into a rope, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stop it at all, these guys' combat effectiveness is definitely very strong, as His Highness said, these people are the fierce enemies of my Tang Empire, at least no one made us so embarrassed before.

"The little ones heard some things in the city, the countries they conquered, in fact, the combat effectiveness is not weak, but the cavalry of the Arab Empire is because of its speed, they can't beat it on the battlefield, they will run away immediately, they will never be entangled with us, looking for an opportunity to come and attack again, so when they have contact with them, try to beat them down at one time, otherwise it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future."

Chen Liu suddenly thought of what some people said when they were chatting, these people originally had their own countries, they came from places further west and south, but now they were all occupied by the Arab Empire, thinking of how the Arab Empire fought wars, these people were still frightened.

This is indeed a headache, when they can beat you, they will rush up, and when they can't beat you, they will be ready to escape, so we have to make preparations with both hands, the first impact they will definitely not be able to beat us, in which direction they run, we have to let people drag them.

"Who has the fastest cavalry in the Western Regions?"

The Tang cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, and it was simply impossible to expect them to chase the cavalry of the Arab Empire.

"It should be Shule Country."

As soon as General Morun said this, the people in the tent rolled their eyes, and the entire tribe was killed. Will you pull them out of the palace of Hades?

"The second is the people of Loulan Kingdom, their speed is also very fast, but we only have two thousand cavalry from Loulan Country in our ranks, and there are more than five hundred people who come on camels."

Fighting in the desert, if all of them are war horses, then they will not be able to hold on at all, and they must bring a large number of camels, which not only hold on for a long time, but most importantly, carry more things.

"Go and get their general."

Cheng Chuliang is arranging the battle in full swing, planning that the Governor's Mansion is still having fun, since His Royal Highness the Prince, many people don't feel the danger at all, they feel that even if the Tang army comes, it will be next year, marching in the wasteland, how can it be so fast.

What's more, Chang'an City is so prosperous, in their opinion, the Tang army must be used to it, if you want to count on them to fight on the battlefield, then forget it, the reason why they can lay so much land is purely because their comprehensive national strength is relatively strong, and it is useless in this kind of bitter cold place.

Affected by the above, the soldiers in Shiguo City did not have so much effort to patrol the surroundings, and they usually walked around the area twice, and they were more enthusiastic about enjoying themselves in the city.

It was on a night full of bonfires singing and dancing that the Tang army came to a place fifteen miles away from Shiguo City.
