Just when Li Xiang was drunk, General Feng Chucai finally rushed to Samarkand City.

He couldn't believe that the city in front of him was the largest city in Central Asia and the seat of the Governor's Palace of Anton in the Arab Empire.

The whole city was almost on fire, and no one, including the local gentry who led them, could have turned into such a thing.

It turned out that after they left, there were quite a few Arab routs in the wasteland, and these people were able to get to the city of Samarkand, almost using all their strength, so that they didn't care who the city belonged to, as long as there were still people here, then they had to go in and rob it, and then take everything they could.

When they first came, there were only a few hundred people, so the people in the city didn't care, and formed a special city guard, and then killed all these hundreds of people, but later more and more people came, and now there are more than 5,000 people.

At the most critical moment, everyone was able to burst out of their fighting power, even if these people ran from the desert and had no strength in their bodies, but after they learned that the family members in the city had been killed, these people immediately exerted their last bit of strength and played the majesty of the Arab soldiers.

So the whole city was on fire, many people inside were killed, and you could smell the blood when you stood outside the city, but you can imagine what the situation is in the city?

Feng Chucai couldn't care about sighing here, and immediately ordered his men to enter the city, whether it was the local people or the remnants of the Arab Empire, as long as they saw someone killing people and setting fires, they would immediately shoot these people.

He still understands that the troubled times need to be recoded, and if you reason with these people, you may not even be able to save your own life, so in this case, you have to kill them first, and let them know that we are not joking.

After two days and two nights of slaughter, the fire was finally put down, and the entire city was less than 30,000 people, that is, a tenth of the original number, and after all kinds of catastrophes, a rich city became like this.

The Tang army originally wanted to take over the city, but no one thought that it would receive a dry city, all kinds of troops have been robbing here for several days, if you can still grab something, it will be really not easy.

In this case, Feng Chucai ordered all the Tang troops to withdraw from the city and set up camp on the edge of the city, if it was inside, so many dead ghouls would know what would happen.

As for the common people here, it can only be left to fend for themselves, according to some documents accompanying the army, the city is estimated to be unusable, most of it has been destroyed, if we want to establish a military base here, it can only be re-established, there are not many things that can be used here, but there are a large number of dead bodies everywhere.

It's okay to think about it, 90 percent of the people in the city can't be found, about half of them have fled, and the remaining 40 percent are dead in the city, and if you want to clean up the city, you don't know how much effort it will take.

So in this case, it is better to re-establish a city, which is also much stronger than working hard in the city, of course, the most terrible thing is that after the end of this war, in addition to human resources, we have not obtained much of all kinds of gold and silver treasures, and the whole city has not been robbed many times.

However, the Governor's Mansion is very large, and there are other tribes around, their warriors have died on the battlefield, and there is still a lot of social wealth left, as long as our support army comes, Feng will arrange for his soldiers to go out in groups to rob the surroundings.

Although from this time on, this is already the place of Datang, but your tribe once sent troops to fight against Datang and fined you a certain amount of money, this is still no problem, you can continue to live here by paying the money, but if you can't pay it, then don't blame us for being polite.

In short, there is one thing, that is, to leave them the necessities of life, and all the remaining remaining assets are handed over to the Tang Empire, and if they carry out any foreign war, they must not record all the losses on their heads.

This is also the rule set by Li Xiang earlier, he told everyone about the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we are responsible for the deficit of a war, but if the deficit of each war is under our control, no matter how rich the Tang Empire is, in the end it will not be able to persevere, so in this situation, no matter what the other party thinks, and no matter how much the other party asks, we have to take away all their remaining materials, which is also a hard requirement, and no one can refute it.

For Li Xiang's words, at the beginning, there were many civil officials who objected, but after many wars, these civil officials also kept their mouths shut, if they can bear this loss, then you can do whatever you want.

But if you can't bear it, then you have to choose to keep your mouth shut, any part of the Tang Empire is very nervous, and there is not so much extra money to pay for the war.

Of course, it's still too early to mention this matter, we don't have many soldiers in the local area, especially General Feng's side, there are many people everywhere, he must first pacify these people, otherwise, the local war will continue, this is already our Tang Dynasty's place, and the killing will never be allowed to continue.

After getting the news, Cheng Chuliang and the others were also depressed for a while.

We made all the preparations, but we were not prepared not to receive a penny, the Arab Empire once again refreshed their understanding, we used to have all kinds of enemies, but after the war, we were always able to immediately replenish the military expenses, but this time it was obviously an exception.

The people of the Arab Empire were like a bunch of locusts, and wherever they went, there was not much surplus value at all, especially after the defeat, and they took almost everything they could take, and if they couldn't, they destroyed them on the spot.

Including the entire city, there is hardly much left, so in the future against the people of the Arab Empire, we must not give them any breathing, and after defeating them, we must occupy the city immediately, otherwise our military budget will still be lost.
