Prince Salaman is no longer the same as before. There is a big scar on his face. Although it has been treated for a long time, there is still medicine on it. There is also a strong smell of medicine in the room.
There is no way around it. During the last war, someone had already told His Royal Highness the Prince to try not to be different from others. If he did, he would easily be discovered by the Tang army, and they would attack him first.
A normal person would definitely make corrections after hearing such an idea, but Prince Salaman did not have such an idea. He still dressed himself up in splendor and walked at the front of the entire team. In this case, the Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers would definitely not give you face, and the first shell would explode around you.
A piece of porcelain flew over at the fastest speed and directly cut a gash on His Royal Highness the Prince's face.
Fortunately, he was well taken care of. If he hadn't had the best medicine, Prince Salaman might even have died from this wound.
You have to know that there are no anti-inflammatory drugs in this era. As long as you are injured, you may get inflamed during the recovery process. Those with weak bodies will basically recover.
Prince Salaman has a good physical condition and usually eats a lot of meat and fish, so his resistance is also very strong. Although there are some signs of inflammation, he still persevered.
It was this character that made him even more brutal than before. He was already almost at the peak of his rage, but this time, because he was injured, he wanted to kill all the guards around him. In his opinion, the reason he was injured was purely because these people did not protect him well.
But the subordinates also have no way to express their suffering. We told you before you set out not to walk at the front of the team and to try to wear clothes similar to ours. But His Royal Highness the Prince didn't listen. Even a fool could see that he is the commander of the entire team. How could the Tang army not fire at you?
"If you have something to say, come on! Why are you sneaking around like that? Is there any news from the Tang army? If so, I will immediately mobilize my troops to destroy them. These guys who are hiding behind their heads and showing their tails will never be able to show up in public."
When he saw Governor Faisal, Prince Salaman threw a cup at him. Although he did not hit Governor Faisal, it made him wet. After all, he was a high-ranking official of the empire, but in the eyes of Prince Salaman, he was no different from other servants.
If it were when they first met, Governor Faisal might have had other thoughts in his mind, but now he has long been accustomed to it. His Royal Highness the Prince has such a bad temper. If you can't even get past this, you'd better not work for him. You will be so angry that you will die every day.
"To answer your Highness, it's not that we've discovered any news about the Tang army, but rather that the troops surrounding Samarkand are increasing in number, now numbering over 200,000. Should we make some moves? If we continue to stay like this, we'll be running out of food. If these surrounding troops run out of food, then they..."
The Arab army had no logistics for war, and they didn't have any dedicated logistics, so they relied on plundering most of the time. The surrounding tribes were even poorer. Although they came with weapons and horses, they didn't bring much food, and they didn't have much savings. We have already given you our people, do you still want us to give up our property? What about the elderly, the weak, and the sick in our families? Wouldn't they have to eat?
"You're right. It's time now. If that's the case, then order all the troops to train well. Give them two days to maintain their strongest fighting capacity. After two days, we'll continue our attack on the Stone Kingdom. If anyone dares to escape, I'll annihilate their tribe."
Although Prince Salaman was injured, he did not lose his mind at the moment. In addition, he had not drunk any alcohol. Of course, he knew that what Governor Faisal said was true. He could not force these vassal troops too much. If he forced them too much, these guys might have other ideas.
Pulling them to the battlefield is what a vassal state should do, but calling all the men in the tribe is a bit too much. You can only call a part of them. If you call all of them, once the war does not go well, it is very likely to be a disaster of genocide.
But now the tribes did not care about this matter. Instead, they asked their people to come. Of course, it was not that they did not care, but simply because they did not dare to care.
Under such circumstances, Prince Salaman suffered such a great loss and was injured. If you try to reason with him, he will probably stab you in the back. Not only will your situation not be improved, but without a leader, your tribe will suffer even more in future actions.
That's why no one said anything, but everyone had their own thoughts in their minds, which was that once we got to the battlefield and saw that the situation was not right, we had to retreat as soon as possible. After all, this was related to the life and death of the entire clan. Once all the men died, the remaining women and children would not be able to hold on.
"I will obey your order and go down to do it immediately."
Governor Faisal was relieved to hear this relatively normal order, but he was afraid that Prince Salman would make some excessive demands again. During this period of time, nothing was done according to the rules, and everything was done according to the prince's temporary wishes. He was really afraid that something big would happen.
"Come back first. You don't have to follow me to the front this time. You have to stay here. In about a month, several adults will be coming from the capital. You have to take good care of them. Also, these boxes of things are for them. Make sure they keep their mouths shut."
Prince Salaman suddenly remembered another thing. This time, people from the relevant departments of the empire were coming to express their condolences to Prince Salaman. Of course, the superficial reason was that they must have secretly wanted to understand this area. This should be the idea of the emperor of the Arab Empire.
Therefore, these people must be delayed. It only takes half a month, and then the war in the Western Regions will have a result. If I win, then some of the previous negative news can be covered up and will not interfere with what I do after returning to Beijing.
