In fact, the Grand Marshal also thought about whether he should send troops out to deal with the north for a while. Even if he did not dare to face the Tang army, he could not let the prince live too well. But then again, you don’t even know the specific situation in the north. If you rashly send troops out, who will be responsible for the losses?
What's more, these people are not fools. When they sent people to attack the land of the Ali Dynasty, everyone knew that they were sending people out to die.
At that time, many people claimed to be sick and could not go out. If I had this idea again, there would probably be more people who would be lazy, and it might trigger a series of crises. These people are now more flexible in their thinking and are afraid of being pushed out to die.
The facts prove this to be the case. If His Royal Highness hadn't been abandoned, there would probably still be people willing to go out. Now the entire north is blocked, not even a bird is allowed to fly in. If you go to the north to fight, do you know what the final outcome will be? It will definitely be abandoned.
Atez surrendered to His Royal Highness. Do you think Atez was willing to be a traitor? Didn't he know how to live a good life? He was completely desperate. In this situation, if you still want to live, then stay in the camp honestly. No troops under 100,000 can leave with you.
Of course, it's hard to say if there are more than 100,000. His Royal Highness did lead 100,000 people out, and what was the final result? He was still abandoned directly. So in this situation, if you have a normal mind, you will never wade into such muddy water.
Marshal Sukhguman also used this matter to test the waters. If someone volunteered, maybe he could make good arrangements. This would show that his men had not lost their fighting spirit and they also wanted to prove themselves on the battlefield. But who did you arrange for this result?
The Caliph has been kept in the dark. Now no one comes from the north, so naturally we don’t know the news from the north. Every time the Caliph asks, we just make up some news. However, Sukhguman still knows another thing happening in the capital.
That is, the Caliph is recruiting soldiers on the other side of the Nile River, and it seems that he has recruited nearly 200,000 soldiers. These people are now ready to set off. When they arrive in the capital, I am afraid that a new war will be started. You can still say that there are insufficient troops now, but after these people come, I am afraid that your reason will not work.
Considering the long journey and the fact that the people over there might not be willing to fight, and they might be forced here, Marshal Sukhguman was not worried. Maybe these people would run away, or some accidents might happen. In short, just don't come to the front line too early. If you rest here for a long time, you will be even less willing to fight.
For Marshal Sukhguman, going out to fight means an unknown life or death. He was able to run back before, which was because he was lucky. You can't always expect your luck to be so good. If you are always so lucky, I am afraid no one will believe it if you tell others.
So under such circumstances, he would delay it for as long as possible. As for whether he could have a good ending in the end, he couldn't think too much about it now. That night he even had a dream in which he dreamed that the Tang army entered the capital of the Arab Empire.
He was awakened at that time. He couldn't believe that all this was true, but some things were definitely not as he thought. If that day really came, he would only face failure. So after waking up that day, this guy was even more reluctant to fight.
Although the Arab Empire's army is still very strong, and there are still certain capabilities in various parts of the country, but we can't find a way to defeat the Tang army on the battlefield, isn't that nonsense? Even if you say all sorts of things, if there is no improvement on the battlefield, what can we do?
The Tang army's tactics can be said to be complex and diverse, and they have now trained a group of vassal troops. His Royal Highness the Prince is just the beginning. People like Atez originally looked down on them, but if all these people were gathered together, they would be a very good force. Once all these people are reorganized, the northern part of the Arab Empire will have nothing to do with us.
When he thought of this, General Sukhguman drank the wine in the bowl. He didn't want to think about these things anymore. If he thought too much, he would easily get a headache. It would be better to just drink. After drinking, he threw the bowl to the ground. The people below didn't know what had happened. The general's temperament was becoming more and more difficult to guess. Of course, the general immediately grabbed the jar and kept pouring wine into his mouth. They could only cheer.
Many people understood that the general must have been thinking about something just now, but the general himself was unwilling to speak, so why should we care about that? For those of us, drinking with the general was what we should do now.
Because of the problem with the Beidaying defense line, the people in the north could not get in, which meant that the transportation of the entire Arab Empire was interrupted. Although many people were not doing well in business, without the particularly bad news, the people in the central and southern parts seemed to be happier.
For the ordinary people in central and southern China, they feel that their lives are just perfect. If they were to receive bad news from the north every day like before, they would not be willing to accept it. Of course, some people have relatives in the north, but this group of people is a minority after all. Who would care so much?
The capital of the Arab Empire.
Some time ago, the Tang army had reached within 500 miles of here. Everyone, including some noble young masters, was in a panic. Now such a thing has not happened anymore. Everyone feels that the danger has gone away, and the capital of the Arab Empire has regained its former prosperity.
Although the trade route from the north has been cut off, it can still be transported along the Mediterranean Sea in the northwest, so there is no need to worry. There are still many kinds of goods in the market, but there are not many goods from that big country in the East. The nobles were accustomed to enjoying them before, and now that there are no goods from that place, they really feel a little uncomfortable. However, as mentioned above, it will be opened soon.
