The Northern Camp of the Arab Empire.
When Beidaying was originally established, it was to prevent some news from the north from being transmitted, and at the same time to draw a clear line with the lost land in the north, but they still have many cities in the north.
However, due to their strict blockade plan, the northern cities now have nothing to do with them. In some cases, they are even in a hostile relationship. They also want to establish contact with the northern cities, but now there are the Restoration Army stationed there, and they have no chance at all.
The spy sent by Marshal Sukhguman also came back and was kneeling in front of him, reporting what was happening in the north. When this guy told him all the information, the Marshal knew that he had made a mess of things.
In order to prevent the Caliph from punishing him, this guy blocked the north, under the pretext of resisting the attack of the Tang army. However, the Tang army had no intention of fighting them at all. Instead, they supported the prince in the north and established a vassal army.
Marshal Sukhguman had also received the news, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He thought it was nonsense. What was the big deal? The prince himself had little support among the common people, and he was already in a losing position. If anyone listened to him, they would have been completely crazy.
Seeing his thoughts, his subordinates naturally flattered him. No one thought there was anything wrong. However, after a period of development, most of the cities in the north surrendered. This was mainly due to your strict blockade. If the Empire had given these cities any resources, I'm afraid they would not have surrendered to His Royal Highness. Unfortunately, you are most afraid of infiltration. If you don't even maintain the most basic contact, why would they follow you around? Of course, you have to find a way out.
In the Beidaying, there was revelry every night, and everyone followed the great marshal to enjoy themselves. Now, after hearing the words of the spy, no one knew what kind of wonderful expressions appeared on their faces. According to the current report, the defense line established by the Beida Bank should be the last line of defense of the Arab Empire in the north.
Over 170 cities and nearly 10 million civilians—did they all submit to the prince? To put it bluntly, they submitted to the Tang Empire. Less than a year had passed, and so many cities in the north had been lost. If the Caliph knew, would those present still have a chance of survival?
"Can you guarantee that everything you said is true? Do you know how much power we still have in the north? I also heard that some people even surrendered to Harry. How could they surrender to the Tang Dynasty? If you make up this news, don't blame this Marshal's scimitar."
Marshal Sukhguman said in disbelief. To him, such a thing was simply unbelievable. So many cities surrendered at the same time, and you could even say such a thing. Do you really think we are fools?
"Grand Marshal, please understand. We are only one of the reconnaissance teams. The other reconnaissance teams should be back before sunset tomorrow. What is the situation in the north? The Grand Marshal will make the final decision."
The words of the reconnaissance team leader made the people around him nod their heads. What he said might not be true, but if several reconnaissance teams were like this, it would mean that the North had really entered a new era. If it really reached this level, then life would be really unbearable.
The people around did not look happy either. They did not believe that all this was true. Although they knew that His Royal Highness the Prince attacked very quickly and was very good at bewitching people, they could not take all the more than 100 cities with him. During the last famine, these cities had lost their value, so the Arab Empire was ready to abandon them, but now they heard that they were all occupied by the Tang army, and they felt a little regretful.
In fact, these cities are like chicken ribs to the Arab Empire, but no matter what, this is also their former territory. Now that they are all occupied by the Tang army, then when the Tang army attacks again, won't they be able to fight us immediately? We don't even have any strategic depth.
General Sukhguman waved his hand in annoyance and asked these people to leave immediately. The dancers who were posing next to him did not dare to move. Everyone could see that the commander-in-chief was on the verge of anger. If you wanted to cause trouble, you might be slapped at any time.
Don't think this is a joke. If you don't have enough ability, you'd better stay away. Now everyone can see that the real crisis is about to come, and we are still thinking about defense. If the Caliph knew the news here, he would definitely order us to take the initiative to attack.
But our fighting capacity is really not good enough. If we were to take the initiative to attack, the fate of His Royal Highness the Prince might be our fate. We have to find a way to let the people in the capital know this. If we were to let hundreds of thousands of people fight to the death, I don't know how many people would surrender to the Tang army. By then, Beidaying might not exist anymore.
At sunset the next day, the three reconnaissance teams returned. A total of five reconnaissance teams were sent out. One of them was discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince's men. It is estimated that its body is now cold. Marshal Sukhguman did not care about the life or death of those people, and hurriedly called the three reconnaissance teams to verify whether the entire north had been occupied?
Facts have proved that everything the reconnaissance team leader said was true. There are no cities in the north anymore that still obey the orders of the Arab Empire. Of course, this cannot be blamed on them. When they were facing danger, you blocked the entire border and did not provide them with any resources, allowing them to consume the strength of the Tang Dynasty army.
But they are just some local governments, how can they have the ability to consume the strength of the Tang army? So it is normal for them to surrender. When they cannot win, if they still don't surrender, then they are simply crazy. So they will not do such stupid things. Saving their lives is the most important thing.
