"Drag them out and chop them all off."
When this news came, everyone didn't know what to say, because they didn't expect the Caliph to kill people. How many ministers would he need to kill at a time?
For the Arab court, since they won a great victory, they also began to pay attention to not punishing doctors. If they killed people, they would only kill ordinary people. Such people never thought about it because they knew very well the sensation of killing ministers.
These people are all officials of the third rank or above. If they are killed, the entire capital will be shocked. You must know that these people are very famous in the capital. You can't just kill them. Once there is no explanation, many things will be serious. So when the Caliph wanted to kill people, the others were ready to stand up and plead for mercy.
"I don't care what you want to say, now shut up. If you want to continue, I will chop off your heads. Now that this situation has been created, someone must stand up and take responsibility. If they don't take responsibility, will you take it?"
Seeing that some people wanted to speak, the Caliph directly blocked them back. There is no requirement for you to come out and speak now. It is better for you to remain mute. If you don’t want to be mute, then I can only chop off your heads and make you become a mute passively.
The Caliph has always longed to become a wise ruler, so when he spoke to many elders in the court, he was quite respectful to them. But at this moment, the Caliph no longer had such an idea. You bastards live too carefree in normal times, and when disaster strikes, you guys have forgotten how to deal with it.
If you say that this is your way of dealing with disasters, then this Caliph will be extremely dissatisfied with you. So after everyone heard what the Caliph said, everyone kept silent. Fortunately, they were not responsible for this matter. If they were responsible, they would probably have lost their heads by now.
"How many troops will arrive in the capital within two months?"
The Caliph closed his eyes. He didn't know who he was asking this question to, but someone had to stand up and answer it. In the past, all military matters were answered by Marshal Sukhgumman. He was like a beacon of the Arab Empire's military, but now General Sukhgumman was in the north, so this question had to be handed over to others.
"In reply to your question, with Allah's blessing, at least 90,000 troops will arrive in the capital next month and this month. Combined with the troops that have already arrived, we can gather a total of 150,000 troops. However, these 150,000 troops lack training. If we send them into battle with the Tang army, I'm afraid they will be in great danger."
General Sukhghuman is not here, but the Arab Empire still has a great general, that is Shad Toli, but this person is also the Caliph's younger brother, and he is a brother from the same mother. The two are only two years apart in age, but this Shad has no ability to mop the floor.
It was precisely because he was incompetent that he was able to become the Caliph's spokesperson in the army. If he was very capable, how could he be assigned to do this? In addition to the Royal Capital Garrison, he also had some other troops at his disposal. He could be said to be the second most important person in the military after Sukhkuman.
But everyone also understands that Sukhguman has everything he has today purely because he dared to fight on the battlefield. How could this guy also have such ability? This guy just dawdles every day. If you let him go to the battlefield to fight, I guess he would stab himself in the thigh and then say he was injured.
Don't think this is a joke. The last time the Tang army was only 500 miles away from the royal city, this guy was already prepared to be injured, and was ready to fall off his horse outside the city, or even lose one of his legs. Only in this way could he avoid going to the battlefield. In order to avoid going to the battlefield, this guy really tried his best.
Fortunately, the crisis was resolved quickly. If it had not been resolved, this guy would have really broken one of his legs. He was so determined. If you put the burden of the entire country on his head, then this country would basically be no different from a destroyed country. Even if the Arab Empire had a thick blood bar, it would be of no use.
After this guy finished speaking, he did not hear what the Caliph said. He even had the courage to look up. He knew that he was an incompetent brother since he was a child. But it was undeniable that he could get something that would make the Caliph happy, so he also had a very high status in the court of the entire Arab Empire.
"When the army arrives, you must train well and meet the standards. The Tang army is extremely powerful and cannot be resisted by ordinary people, so they must be trained well. I will personally review this batch of troops in a month. If they are not up to standard, then you don't need to break your legs. I will find someone to break your legs and then send you south to recuperate. You don't have to worry about these things."
When hearing these words, the emperor's younger brother felt terrible. If it weren't for those words, he could still have passed the inspection, but if he broke his leg, it would be a big deal. This guy's expression was uglier than crying.
Xie Detoli led his men out, unsure how to accomplish this task. Take the troop numbers mentioned earlier; they were fabricated on the spur of the moment. How could so many people possibly come? Generals from all over the country fabricated figures one after another, but they all sent large sums of money, so they were willing to turn a blind eye.
But the problem now is that the Caliph wants to inspect the army in person. Where can I get so many people for you? If we go by the reported numbers, we don’t have at least one-third of them now. This is by no means a small number. If we want to get 20,000 or 30,000 troops around, I’m afraid we will have to conscript men again.
Last time, a lot of trouble happened, but fortunately the people below suppressed it. Will we be so lucky this time?
