Chapter Twenty-One
Abu Muslim did not deny this and said, "Otherwise, the general thought why the Lion King didn't come with us this time? Instead, he dispatched a large army in the rear? Although it means to attract attention for us, it is also a kind of insurance. It is naturally good for our strategy to succeed, but the Lion King doesn't think that he regards as an opponent of his life's enemies, so it is easy to fail. The general is no longer angry about temporary gains and losses. We are just a small fight now. For a real battle, we have to wait for the Lion King. We just need to continue to trap Tuozhe City and take the initiative to occupy the entire battle situation."
Abdullah felt a little better, but he couldn't help but be shocked: Arabs are very strong. In the past, they did not say that they would crush and win, but they did not spend much effort.
But facing the Tang Dynasty in the East, so hard to make such a difficult plan, it was incredible that it only took this little opportunity in the end. It was incredible that I couldn't help but ask: "When will the Lion King arrive?"
Abu Muslim replied: "The first one is General Bernard, and he will arrive in five days. With the support of his troops, we will not be afraid of Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhongsi. The Lion King himself will be half a month later... This war is the most important battle since the founding of the Arab Kingdom. Both the Caliph and the Lion King attach great importance to it, and the preparations must be prepared in place."
"Pei Min will arrive almost half a month later, right?" Abdullah estimated the time, but he had never been to the east and was not sure.
Abu Muslim said: "It should be a few days later than the Lion King, but it is not much different... Our troops may exceed 200,000, and they will be less, but if we add the Western Regions and mercenaries of all races, it will not be inferior to us..."
Speaking here, his tone was in a hurry, "If a person lives in his life, he can go through such a decisive battle. Even if he dies in the battlefield, what are you afraid of?"
Abdullah couldn't help but fascinate. He had fought a battle for half his life. He had never seen such a huge scene before.
The fierce Jiaoyang is in the sky. Although the Western Regions are open and there are often strong winds, even strong winds are still warming people's hearts during this season, which not only makes people feel cool, but also has a kind of irritability in their bones.
Wang Zhongsi advanced into the Western Regions from Qinghai Lake along the Big and Big Bolu.
Looking at this thief, God couldn't help but curse a few words.
Qinghai Lake is located on the plateau, where it is high in altitude, only one month is summer, and the highest temperature is only 30, and the average summer temperature is around 20 degrees.
After staying in Qinghai Lake for several years, I have long been accustomed to the severe cold.
When I first went down the plateau, I encountered the heat of the Western Regions, and I was confused as if I had entered a steamer.
If the war had not been urgent, I would have wished to return to Qinghai Lake immediately.
"This ghost weather is too hot!"
Wang Zhongsi still maintained the demeanor of a general. Wang was rare beside him, and he had only had one big shorts left.
This general of the gangster has made outstanding achievements in combat, but he doesn't care about his image at all.
Wang Zhongsi glanced at him, his mind was not calm.
He did not go to the Anxi Protectorate to take charge, but came to the Kingdom of Khotan, which is closest to Big and Bolu.
The king of Khotan also went to Shi Kingdom. At this moment, the country had no leader, and the major affairs of the country were all taken care of by the queen of Tanaka.
Not all women are strong women like Wu Zetian, Empress Lü, and a woman like the Queen of Khotan, how can they convince the public?
The people in the Kingdom of Khotan were panicked.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongsi felt a little clear in his heart. The Kingdom of Khotan is located below the plateau, the easternmost part of the Western Regions, and can be regarded as the rear.
This dead fellow Taoist will not die!
It's their turn to play with the three ancient countries and nine surnames in front of them.
Even so, this is still the case.
It is conceivable what the situation is in other countries.
It has to be admitted that Arabs really hit the fatal point of the Western Regions.
Wang Zhongsi directly held a simple military conference in the Kingdom of Katan.
"Lu Qing, you lead 8,000 soldiers and go to Shule immediately, and directly garrison into the military camp in the city to train with the defenders in the city. Remember, our army's slogans should not disturb the people, and those who violate the orders should be killed."
A rough general shouted and said, "I understand, I will not demolish the house if I freeze to death, and will not plunder if I starve to death."
"Pan Wei, you lead 5,000 troops to Thunder Ye City, just like General Lu Qing... just training, and don't care about anything else."
One command after another.
Wang Zhongsi ignored the Tang army or Arab soldiers in Tuozhe City, but distributed the 60,000 troops he brought to each of the Western Regions one by one.
Wang is rarely a warlike maniac. He will not question any of his elder brother's decisions, but in private he couldn't help asking: "Brother, what does this mean? Why not take this opportunity to kill directly at Tuozhe City and rescue the governor of Feng Changqing."
Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said, "There is no need to do something meaningless, and consume the lives of soldiers."
As he grew older, Wang Zhongsi's character became more and more prominent.
Especially for the care of soldiers, Pei Min is even better than that.
Wang Zhongsi was determined to make his brainless brother grow his mind and said, "How much of your physical strength is left now?"
Wang Nan was stunned and said, "I understand, it's because of the physical strength. It's too hot here. We are used to the coolness of Qinghai Lake and lose before we even play."
"Not bad!" Wang Zhongsi said confidently: "Arab is used to the desert climate, which is much more tolerant of heat than we do. We are rushing to the front line at this moment, and our physical strength is exhausted, and there is a possibility of heatstroke. The biggest advantage of their trapped Tuozhe City is to wait for work. We forcefully attack at this moment, and undoubtedly fell into their plan. It is better to disperse everywhere and let the soldiers adapt to the climate here. Some fights next!"
He said, glanced at the West, but in fact, he didn't tell Wang Yandai the most important thing.
With the king's rare mind, as long as he can understand that this superficial military use is enough, he really needs to think deeper, and he will be in chaos.
This arrangement not only made the soldiers on Qinghai Lake familiar with the climate of some Western Regions, but also shocked the countries in the Western Regions and further demonstrated the Tang Dynasty's control over the Western Regions.
Instead of taking a rash attack against the influence of the local environment, it is better to stabilize the Western Regions first and create a good environment for the upcoming brothers, rather than a chaos.
The next battle will affect the hegemony of the two empires in the East and the West and will affect the trend of the world.
Compared to the previous friction, this time is the real collision.
Whoever wins will be qualified to win the world...
Wang Zhongsi knew in his heart that this showdown between the East and the West was not the protagonist.
Abu Muslim, Abdullah were waiting for their Lion King, Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others were also waiting for Pei Min!
The Lion King of the West and Wei Huo of the East!
Mosremasa and Pei Min!
Arab and Tang Dynasty!
