Chapter 2 Ten Thousand Riders

The massacre of 120,000 people at one time. Although it was fierce and cruel, it scared Gu Taibai and Muhammad, who were used to life and death, but the effect was surprisingly good.

When the news spread, Khorasan's rebellion suddenly decreased a lot, and the Persian people were really scared. Hacha, Ibn Yusuf, was able to massacre 120,000 people at one time, which means that he could kill more people. Who can not be afraid of how many people there are?

Hacha Ibn Yusuf was still satisfied with this result. He summoned generals such as Gu Taibai and Muhammad to the Governor's Office and said, "The reason why the rebels rebelled is that they are fearless and think you dare not kill! Even if you want to kill, they dare not kill too much! Only by breaking their hopes and making them feel scared, they will be honest and obedient and never dare to rebel again."

Yousuf's specialty is good at creating horror and making people feel scared, and he is very familiar with this.

"The wise and great governor said it very well." The generals had to accept it and praise it loudly.

"Khorasan's rebellion will not take long to pacify, and then we will be able to advance eastward to China." Hachazaka Ibn Yusuf nodded and said, "Before we advance eastward, we must be prepared. I think we need to do two things: one is to find allies, and the other is to prepare money and food."

Muragu said excitedly: "I think our allies can consider Tubo, the wise and great governor."

Hachaji Ibn Yusuf nodded in appreciation and said, "Our allies were originally Turks, and they could use the Turks to nuisance China's north. Unexpectedly, Mochu was too incompetent. It was destroyed by China so soon. We have to find another allies. This allies must be Tubo."

"Although Tubo's national strength is not as strong as China, its terrain is favorable. In the mountains and forests, it can attack and defend, and it is completely invincible. It can be used to restrain China and threaten the Hexi Corridor. It is impossible for China to invest a large number of troops, manpower and material resources to move westward, which is a huge benefit for us." Gu Taibai's eyes shone and he analyzed loudly.

In terms of national strength alone, ten Tubos could not compare to the Tang Dynasty, but because Tubo was in a very good geographical location. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack in high mountains and forests. Tubo was invincible and was able to advance and retreat freely. If he had the opportunity, he would attack the Tang Dynasty and retreat without the opportunity. The Tang Dynasty was helpless.

Moreover, since Tubo took over Dafeichuan, it posed a huge threat to the Hexi Corridor. In order to prevent Tubo, the Tang Dynasty sent a large number of troops to station in the northwest to ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor is a major transportation route connecting the Central Plains to the Western Regions. If the Hexi Corridor is unstable, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to invest a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources into the Western Regions, and would not be able to fight the eastern advance of the Arab Empire.

"Tubo is too weak and without excellent equipment, it is difficult to compete with China." Mohamed took the conversation and gave an idea, saying: "We should assist Tubo, give Tubo excellent equipment, enhance Tubo's strength, and allow Tubo to better hold China."

"Good idea." The generals agreed in unison.

"We can also promise Tubo to hand over the Hexi Corridor and Guanzhong to Tubo. Tubo has been coveting these two places for a long time. If this is the case, Tubo will definitely be happy." Mulagu added.

"This is not possible. Guanzhong is a rich place and the fundamental place of China. How can it be given to Tubo?" Some generals disagreed.

"I'm just a promise to make Tubo work harder. As long as we fight to China, let alone China, even Tubo is ours." Muragu explained.

"You are so sinister. Good!" The generals laughed in unison and praised them.

"You have already made it clear about finding allies, so I won't say more." Hachazaka Ibn Yusuf nodded in praise and said, "This is the alliance with Tubo, and I will leave it to Muragu."

"Affect the order." Muragu received the order loudly.

"Next, let's talk about preparing food and grass." Hachazaka Ibn Yusufu rolled his eyes and burst into tears, saying, "To borrow a Chinese saying 'Before the troops move, food and grass will go first'. If there is not enough money and food, it is a delusion to conquer China. Therefore, this matter must be done as a top priority, and it must be successful."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "The journey from Khorasan to China is long and not less than ten thousand miles away, so it is impossible to transport grain. At that time, Emperor Taizong of Tang refused the request of the Persian king and did not send troops to aid Persia, he had the long road to consider."

There is no need to mention the importance of food and grass. Without sufficient food and grass, it is impossible to conquer China. This is very difficult. It is too long to transport grain from Khurasan, which is obviously impossible.

This really stumped the generals. A general asked, "How should we raise food and grass, wise and great Governor?"

This question was exactly what the generals thought, all of whom were opening their eyes wide and staring at Hachatzawa Ibn Yusuf.

Hachaji Ibn Yusuf's single eye shone with wisdom and said, "Chinese military tactics are called 'for the enemy', and we can borrow it. It is impossible to transport grain from Khorasan. We can use the power of the enemy to deal with China."

When I came to the map, I pointed to Afghanistan and Pakistan on a huge map and said, "These two places are close to China, and are rich and easy to raise food and grass. We can conquer them first."

“Good idea.”

"Very good."

"The Governor is always so wise and great!"

The generals suddenly realized and praised them in unison, and their eyes were full of admiration.

It is thousands of miles away from Khorasan to China, and it is impossible to get supplies. This is a huge problem. However, after Hachazi Ibn Yusuf said, the huge problem was solved.

As long as you conquer these two places, you can use them as strategic springboards, which will be a good base for advancement for the Arab Empire.

Who can not accept it?

Who can not worship?

"Gu Taibai, you lead 50,000 elite troops to attack these two places and raise food and grass for the army; Mohammed, you lead 50,000 elite troops to attack Samarkand and Shiguo, and directly point to the city of Saiye to advance eastward to build a passage for the army so that our army can face the Western Regions." Hacha Ibn Yusuf's eyes shining brightly, and his whole body is full of energy.

"Affect the order." Gu Taibai and Muhammad accepted the order in unison.

The two of them shouldered the heavy responsibility and took the lead in the Arab Empire's massive eastward advance. This was the great trust of Hachachi Ibn Yusuf in them. The two were very excited and full of spirits.

"You must do your best, and I will reward you with great rewards: whoever set foot on China's land first will be the governor of China!" Hachachi? Ibn? Yousuf's voice is like a big bell.

"I will definitely not let the wise and great governor down!" Gu Taibai and Muhammad looked at each other, like two cockfighting cocks, which means that the Chinese governor has made a decision.

Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Li Dan summoned Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Chen Xuanli and other civil and military ministers to discuss matters.

"I have just ascended the throne, and the state affairs are heavy. Please do your best." Li Dan spoke slowly and said, "What else do you have to do, just say it."

Although Li Dan has no extraordinary talent, he has an extraordinary mind, is very diligent and generous. As long as it is a state affairs, no matter what tone you say, even if you contradict him, he can accept it. This gave Li Longji a deeper understanding of Li Dan.

Di Renjie took the lead and talked about state affairs. After a long time, he finished speaking.

"Crown Prince, what do you have to say?" Li Dan looked at Li Longji and asked.

"Father, my son thinks there is one thing that needs to be done first, that is, to develop thousands of cavalry into ten thousand cavalry." Li Longji had wanted to do this for a long time, but he had never had a chance.

"Developed into ten thousand cavalry?" The ministers were stunned.

Li Dan was also surprised and said, "Prince, Qianqi is fine. How did you think of developing Qianqi into Ten Thousand Riders?"

Qianqi is the most elite army in the empire and is highly valued by the senior officials of the empire. Li Longji's ideas are shocking.

"Thousand Cavalry is the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty. Each one is chosen by thousands of people. After entering Thousand Cavalry, you will learn a lot. Many people can stand alone, become generals, and even become the commander of the world." Li Longji analyzed and said: "It's a pity that such a precious opportunity is only for one thousand people to enjoy. Why not expand Thousand Cavalry into Ten Thousand Cavalry, so that more people can have the opportunity to become talented?"

Thousand Cavalry is tantamount to a "Royal Military Academy". Anyone who is selected will learn a lot and will transform. Many people will become generals, or even become generals, and become famous generals that have been famous throughout the ages. For example, Guo Ziyi was born in the Dragon Martial Army.

It's a pity that there are only one thousand people in such a treasure land. It's a great thing to expand and allow more people to enjoy this opportunity. Li Longji has long had this idea.

"I agree." Chen Xuanli was the first to agree.

Chen Xuanli was born in Qianqi and knew Qianqi very well, and knew very well what Li Longji said. Such a precious opportunity is only enjoyed by a thousand people. It is a waste to let more people learn and make more people become talents. That is the best.

"I agree too." Zhang said that a person who is proficient in military affairs was also clear about what consequences would be brought if Li Longji's move was achieved. It would make more talents successful, more generals, and even famous generals. The prospects would be too broad.

"The prince is far-sighted and agrees." Di Renjie thought for a while and agreed.

He agreed, let alone the person, and they all agreed.

"The prince has a deep thought, haha, good!" Li Dan admired it very much and said with a smile: "It is a good thing to develop thousands of cavalry into ten thousand cavalry, but there are many things to do. It is not easy. Liu Youqiu and Zhong Shaojing are busy. According to my opinion, let Chen Xuanli help them, okay?"

Chen Xuanli was born in a thousand cavalry, and had great skills and was good at planning. He would help him. This matter would be completed faster. Everyone had no objection to this proposal, so they passed it.

"Chen Xuanli, this matter is of great importance and whether the Tang army can fight well is a major event for the country. You should be more attentive." Li Dan encouraged Chen Xuanli.
