Chapter 18: They have surrendered

In a warehouse, Yang Sixu and the generals took a look at the situation in front of them and their eyes almost fell out.

This is a large warehouse filled with gold and silver treasures. Some are packed in boxes and some are piled up in a mess. I guess even the Arab Empire doesn't know how many of them are.

This is the thirteenth warehouse that Yang Sixu inspected. The twelve warehouses in front are just the same as the situation in front of him. The treasures in the warehouse are full of food.

Yang Sixu checked the books and found it incredible. He came to inspect and found out that there was a gap between the books and the actual items, and the actual items were more valuable.

If these things were transported back to the Tang Dynasty for sale, they would be enough for half a year of military expenditure.

The harvest in Samarkand alone has been so huge, which is too amazing. If Yang Sixu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was true.

As for food and grass, it was even more piled up, so there was no need to worry about not having food and grass. The food and grass collected by the Arab Empire in Samarkand was enough for a large army to provide for a year.

"The great cannibals are really good at plundering." The generals were deeply moved.

"Actually, this is not surprising." Yang Sixu raised his dark eyebrows and said, "Samarkand is rich and is the most important hub on the Silk Road. It is expected that such a gain will be achieved. Furthermore, in order to fight against the Tang Dynasty, Yusufu tried his best to plunder us, but he did not expect that it would be cheaper."

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." The generals nodded in agreement.

Samarkand is the pearl of Central Asia and the most important hub on the Silk Road. It is reasonable to have abundant resources and abundant oil and water.

In addition, Yusuf used all means to plunder it in preparation for a war with the Tang Dynasty. It was normal for him to accumulate so much.

"Now, we don't have to worry about not having food or grass anymore." Yang Sixu smiled and said, "Wang Maozhong can save a lot of worries and no longer have to transport food from the Western Regions."

As long as the Tang army arrived in Samarkand, there was enough food and grass, and there was no need to work hard to transport grain from the Western Regions. This would save a lot of trouble, and Wang Maozhong, who was in charge of logistics, would be the happiest.

"The order: tell the foreign races around them to surrender immediately. If you dare to say no, I will trample them." Then Yang Sixu frowned and said murderously.

This order was passed down quickly.

"What? Butcher Yang wants us to surrender? Is this true or false?"

"What is Yang Butcher, who is a god of killing, a demon who eats people and does not swallow bones. I heard that he slaughtered the city in Tianzhu back then, and killed all three feet above, even if it was more than a little bit. In this battle, he turned Talas into ashes with a torch, and went to Samarkand to kill him, and no one of the big cannibals would be left."

"In a word, wherever Yang Killing God went, the corpse was piled up like a mountain. Blood flowed into a river, and it was red."

"And what he said will definitely come true. He said that he would not keep Talas, and he really did it. It was Gu Taibai, who obviously captured him alive, but he still threw him into the fire and burned him to death."

"But Yang is so scary. He said he would do this if he wanted to flatten us. In my opinion, we should surrender."

"Yes, surrender, surrender quickly, if you are late, there will be no chance."

After receiving Yang Sixu's order, these alien races were talking a lot and were very scared of Yang Sixu, the murderous demon king, and finally chose to surrender.

When Zhang Shuo led all the generals to Samarkand, all the foreign races around had surrendered. Their leaders personally rushed to Samarkand to see Yang Sixu, with a thousand guarantees and ten thousand guarantees. They would never be enemies of the Tang Dynasty and must follow the Tang Dynasty to the death.

This is the majesty of a ruthless man. With Yang Sixu, a ruthless man here, these aliens have to think carefully.

After Zhang said that after he arrived with the generals, he received a report and said to the generals with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Yang Sixu was so majestic that he scared these alien races to surrender one after another."

"General Yang, you are now called Yang Butcher Yang, Yang Killing God, what do you think?" Chen Xuanli smiled and teased.

The generals also wanted to know what Yang Sixu thought, and their eyes were focused on him, waiting for him to answer.

"Whether it is a butcher or a god of killing, it is just a scary name. As long as they can scare them, they can call them whatever they like." Yang Sixu shrugged and said indifferently.

If you change someone, you will definitely be very unhappy to call him like this, but Yang Sixu doesn't take it seriously, which is really a test of people's nerves.

"Okay!" Zhang said, however, and said, "General Yang did not care about his personal fame and fortune for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, good!"

"Okay!" The generals also praised in unison.

Although Yang Sixu was born in a humble family and was a eunuch who looked down upon, he was devoted to serving the public and could not consider personal fame and fortune for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. It was not an exaggeration to praise him no matter how much, and the generals had to accept it.

"Since we sent troops, we have been going smoothly. First we took Talas and then Samark, as if we were in a state of no one." Zhang Shuo's face was somber and said, "Talas was taken away and opened the door to Samarkand. After taking Samarkand, we seized countless treasures, not only countless gold and silver treasures, but also mountains of food and grass. The problem of food and grass that plagues us has been solved. Let's talk about how to fight next."

Since the dispatch of the troops, the Tang army has been going deeper than a thousand miles, and the first step of the plan has been realized. Next, we will adjust the deployment and re-plan, which requires discussion with the generals.

"Master, the last general thinks that we should march quickly and fight to Gul before Yousuf can transfer troops to restore Persia."

"That's right. We must be quick, and we must disrupt Yousuf by surprise."

All the generals advocated a quick march to fight Goul before Yousuf could react.

Yousuf originally wanted to use Talas to block the Tang army's advance, but the Tang army quickly took Talas, which was far beyond Yousuf's imagination. As long as the Tang army advances quickly enough, it will be enough to attack Goul before Yousuf responds, which will have great benefits to the Tang army.

"Yang Sixu, what do you think?" Zhang Shuo asked Yang Sixu.

Yang Sixu was a pioneer general. He was more familiar with the situation of Dashi than anyone else, so it was necessary to ask him what he thought.

"Master, I finally think that we should do two things right now." Yang Sixu raised his eyebrows and said, "The first thing is to adjust the deployment. Although we are going well all the way, it is like entering a no-man's land, after all, we have already gone deep into the Great Food thousands of miles away. The army needs adjustments, and some even need to be redeployed."

Although the Tang army fought very smoothly, after all, they had marched thousands of miles, and some situations did not match the original idea, which required adjustments. This was inevitable, and the generals nodded in agreement.

"This adjustment takes some time, and at the earliest it takes three or five days. We can't waste it even if we have three or five days." Yang Sixu's eyes flashed and he said, "We can do one thing in these three or five days, that is to cause trouble for Yousuf, and this is the second thing."

"How to cause trouble for Yousuf?" Some general was puzzled.

These words were exactly what the generals thought, and they all opened their eyes wide and stared at Yang Sixu.

"The people of Dashi have been waiting for us to come. They have been waiting for this for decades. Now we have finally arrived. I think this is a great joy for them." Yang Sixu analyzed and said, "As long as this news spreads, it will be enough for the people of Dashi to go around and greet us."

Before the Persian Empire was destroyed by the Arab Empire, the Persian Empire sent envoys to Chang'an twice for help. After repeated consideration, Emperor Taizong of Tang refused to send troops on the grounds of a long journey. The Tang Dynasty did not reinforce the Persian Empire, which led to Persia being destroyed by the Arab Empire.

But the Tang Dynasty did not fail to do anything, but took over the Persian royal family and took over the Persian royal family, which was a preparation for a future counterattack. During Emperor Taizong of Tang, the Tang Dynasty could not send troops to the Middle East because the way of march was controlled by the Western Turks, and the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty were old enemies, so the Western Turks could not allow the Tang army to pass through their territory.

Taking over the Persian royal family is to prepare for the future entry into the Middle East. It is precisely because the Persian royal family has received the protection of the Tang Dynasty that they can survive. There is no need to say the influence of the royal family. Therefore, the Persian people hope that the Tang army will come and rescue them from dire straits.

For this reason, they have been waiting for decades, but have not yet looked forward to the Tang army.

Now, the Tang army has finally arrived. Not to mention anything else, as long as the news spreads, the Persian people will run around and tell each other. They will definitely be happy and will definitely come to welcome the Tang army.

"We can also provide them with weapons and armor to participate in the war against Dashi." Yang Sixu's tone became more and more sharp, saying: "After Dashi occupied Persia, it has been bloody in promoting their religion, either believing in Allah or beheading, which makes the Persian people hate Dashi Dog to the core, especially Manichaeists, even more hating Dashi Dog. If we get our support, they will definitely rise up and cause great trouble to Dashi Dog."

The early conquests of the Arab Empire were tantamount to disasters in the world. Wherever they passed, they would be ruined and would not be governed. In particular, religious policies were bloody, either believing in Allah or die. Such a cruel religious policy might be better if it were elsewhere, but there would be huge trouble in the former land of Persia.

Because the former land of Persia is the territory of Manichaeism. Manichaeism has a history of hundreds of years and is the state religion of Persia. It has countless believers. It is deeply rooted. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to ask these Manichaeists to give up their faith and turn to God.

This is also the fundamental reason why the former Persian land was conquered by the Arab Empire for decades but still cannot be stable.

If the Persians received support from the Tang army and they had weapons and armor, they would definitely rise up and resist and cause great trouble to the Arab Empire.

"We have been doing this a few years ago, and now we can continue to do it." Yang Sixu said last.

"Good idea." The generals agreed in unison.

Although the Persian people were unable to confront the regular army of the Arab Empire even if they were armed, they were familiar with the situation inside, could attack and nuisance and destroy the road, which would make Yusuf's dispatch of troops extremely slow.

In this way, the benefits to the Tang Dynasty were obvious.
