If His Royal Highness the Prince turned back now, he would probably have to chop half of the people present to death, because the expressions on their faces were so ugly.
Unfortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince did not do so. When he turned around, all he saw was the army that was about to win. In his opinion, the eastward expedition of these hundreds of thousands of troops would surely usher in a more glorious future for the Arab Empire. As for his two brothers, they would never be able to surpass him in terms of merit.
What areas did those two guys occupy? It was nothing more than the Mediterranean coast. Although there were countless city-states there, compared with the Tang Dynasty, those places were simply broken. The Western Regions was just a fringe of the Tang Dynasty, but they were able to plunder so much money. If they could occupy Chang'an, I'm afraid even the treasury of the capital would not be able to hold it.
When he thought of this, the guy immediately mounted his warhorse and led his elite cavalry to join the advancing team. He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to advance eastward quickly. If he was lucky, he would be able to occupy the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions within a few months.
By then he would be able to face Gaochang's army. According to the information he received, among all the countries in the Western Regions, Gaochang was the Tang Dynasty's most loyal lackey. He would first have to defeat the Tang Dynasty's most loyal lackey and allow the Tang Dynasty's army to continue to increase its troops.
He didn't want to go to the interior to fight the Tang army because there was no vast territory there. So this guy's intention was very clear, that is, to let the Tang army come to the Western Regions, and rely on his own army to be as fast as the wind to cripple the Tang army. Then he could enter the interior and wait to reap the benefits.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this idea, but it would probably be very difficult to actually implement it. In the two consecutive contacts, your Arab Empire's army did not gain any benefits, but instead lost so many people to the Tang Dynasty army.
Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince did not take this seriously. He believed that the Tang army was taking advantage of the situation. If the Arab army was allowed to play to its strengths, the Tang army would have no ability to resist at all and would be killed by them.
"Your Excellency, Governor, why don't you try to persuade them? Hundreds of thousands of troops have set out without any intelligence. Our rear is completely exposed. If we lose the battle, will this vast land be handed over to the Tang people?"
Only after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince walk away did these officials get a chance to speak. Their persuasion was of no use as they were powerless. The highest-ranking official was Governor Faisal, but from the beginning till now, Governor Faisal had not said a word and only said that he could take care of the logistics.
"My lords, please don't worry so much. From the day the prince arrives, we must follow his steps and not discuss these things behind his back. If the soldiers hear, it will affect the morale of the entire army. Go back and do your job well. This is to serve his highness. We will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army. Don't think about those messy things, let alone affect the morale of the army."
Governor Faisal's words were very precise, and the people around him could not believe their ears. Governor Faisal was certainly talented. If he had no talent, how could he be allowed to become the governor?
Moreover, during the years he served as governor, the influence of the Arab Empire expanded in the local area. If he had no talent, how could this expansion have happened?
Now that the imperial army has set off, he actually said such words. Can anyone believe it?
Some people wanted to say a few more words, but the Governor did not give them a chance and got on his carriage directly. He also wanted to follow the army. Although he was responsible for logistics for the army, he could not leave the jurisdiction of the army.
After getting in the car, the Governor sneered. "You guys don't dare to offend the prince, but you put me in a trap. Is your head the head, not mine?" The prince has fallen into a state of madness. If you say one more word, he may chop you down at any time. Who dares to move forward at this time?
When the others saw this situation, they had no choice but to follow the army. Looking back at the large area ruled by the Anton Governor's Office, they hoped that we could win. If we couldn't win, we would be in trouble, as this land would be under the name of Li in the future.
Chang'an City, the residence of General Tiance.
Li Xiang had just received a report from the front line. The carrier pigeon was flying very hard, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to get the news so quickly.
"Your Highness, the Arab Empire's army is nothing special. We have already won two victories in a row, both of which were decisive. Our own losses can be said to be negligible."
Niu Jinda also received news from the front line, so this guy didn't take the people of the Arab Empire seriously at all. Li Xiang didn't know what to say at this time. If he hadn't traveled through time, according to the capabilities of the Tang Empire at that time, at most he could only fight a tie with the people of the Arab Empire.
But the situation is different now. The application of various new weapons, coupled with our early entry into the Western Regions and our invincible will, have enabled us to win one victory after another. But this does not mean that the crisis has been resolved. The Arab Empire is still a very powerful enemy, not to mention that this is only a part of their forces.
"In my opinion, we should split the battlefield into two. The current situation in the south has not been easy. Your Highness should stay in the capital, and I will conquer Zhenla on your behalf..."
What Niu Jinda said were all vague and illusory things, but Su Dingfang was different from this guy. He immediately thought of the other way to go on the southern battlefield. In order to fight against the Arab Empire, His Majesty ordered a ceasefire on the southern battlefield, but we have a great advantage. If we can send a general over, we can completely defeat this country.
"Your Highness, I can also..."
Niu Jinda realized it later. After listening to Su Dingfang's words, he realized that he was a step behind. However, Li Xiang did not let them continue. According to what you two warmongers said, you can't wait for wars to break out everywhere.
"The Empire will never allow two large-scale wars to be fought before decisive victory is achieved."
Li Xiang's words made the two men stop fighting...
Stability is the most important thing now.
