Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ye Zide held the silk as if it were a treasure and kept praising it. The generals on the left and right also came closer and gave out praises one after another.

    Since ancient times, the countries in Thailand and the West have longed for the mysterious country in the far east. Silk, porcelain, and even lacquerware from the East are regarded as symbols of nobility. Once sold to the West, you cannot buy them at will if you have money.  .

    ?? Especially silk, which is regarded as a treasure by the royal families of various countries, and ordinary people are not allowed to wear it.

    After admiring it for a while, Ye Qide carefully looked at the patterns and words embroidered on the silk with threads of different colors.

    He stared at it for a long time with big eyes before handing the silk to an official next to him: "Look at what's written on it."

    Although he often interacted with Han merchants and developed a Chinese with a stiff pronunciation and strange intonation, he could only listen and speak, and it was absolutely impossible to write.

    The square-shaped Chinese characters, some pictographic and some onomatopoeic, are like a heavenly book and cannot be understood at all

    The official on the side took the silk, read it carefully, and said happily: "Commander, this is a letter from Lord Changsun to you. Talking about the current situation in Chang'an, I hope you can sweep your army across the Western Regions and then reach Hexi! Tuyuhun!  They have already rebelled and are fighting with the Tang army in Hexi. No matter who wins or loses, both sides will lose in the end and cannot resist the charge of the Arab cavalry! As long as Hexi is captured, the Guanzhong of the Tang Empire will be close at hand.  It is possible for Shuai to achieve the great feat of conquering the East! This is something that none of the emperors of Alexander, Caesar, Xerxes, Darius, Augustus, etc. have ever accomplished!"

    Changsun Han¡¯s mouth twitched, and he was scornful in his heart: Barbarians are barbarians, and they are actually called "sir". Our family master does not have barbaric sons like you

    There was a burst of excitement in the military tent, and even Ye Qide, who pretended to be serious, couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

    Alexander, Caesar, Xerxes, Darius, Augustus and others mentioned by this official were all once great heroes in the West. They once led their armies to conquer a huge territory and single-handedly created an unparalleled greatness.  Empire, but never conquered the distant Eastern dynasty.

    ¡°Could it be that such an unprecedented feat is about to be created by one¡¯s own hands?

    Ye Zide's breathing was a little heavy, he slapped the table in front of him, and said excitedly: "Notify me, we will light a fire and make food early tomorrow. The army will speed up and arrive at Suiye City as soon as possible! This battle must be decided quickly and the Anxi Army will be annihilated.  Sweep across the Western Region, and then I will lead you to the capital of the Tang Empire, so that your names can be engraved in the scriptures passed down from generation to generation!"

    "Ho ho ho!"

    The generals were so excited that their eyes were red.

    Who doesn¡¯t know that the Eastern dynasty was prosperous and full of gold?  The Arabs don't like building castles or reclaiming wasteland. They only like buying and selling, and they only like killing and looting.

    Where can construction be as refreshing as destruction?

    "Let those stupid peoples accumulate wealth little by little. The Arabs only need to wait until they have accumulated enough wealth, and then kill them all and grab them all

    Destruction and plunder have long been deeply imprinted on the Thai and Western peoples, and have become their nature that circulates with their blood.

    Morality and etiquette are far less important than swords, spears, horses and armor.

    Why do you need to work so hard to build something and accumulate it from generation to generation?  Just grab your scimitar, mount your war horse, and go out to grab it

    Changsun Han looked at the "group of demons dancing wildly" in the tent, his eyes twitched, he took two steps forward and said: "Commander Qi, I still know everything."

    "Oh? Come and see."

    Ye Qide may be grateful for the "friendship" of the eldest son's family, so his expression and tone were much more polite to his eldest son Han.

    Changsun Han pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's just that this news was revealed to me by someone else, and it cost me a hundred gold coins"

    There was a sudden silence in the tent.

    Ye Zide frowned and said: "You mean, you want me to use these 100 gold coins to buy your news? No problem. Since you have sent such good news, I will give you this opportunity.  But first, this news of yours is worth a hundred gold pieces.¡±

    He is not stingy, and he also understands that a family like the Changsun family that can betray the Tang Dynasty must attach great importance to money. As long as the information is worth the price, he will definitely pay it happily.

    Now that he is no longer the son of the former governor of Damascus, but the heir to the Arab Empire, how can he be so greedy and stingy in such matters of money that he can be laughed at by others?

    Changsun Han complained from the bottom of his heart: Are you stupid?  I said I bought it for a hundred gold coins, but you only gave me a hundred gold coins.Buy it with ?? coins?  I can't get any benefits, why?

    After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "But I promised the person who sold this news that if the commander can adopt it, I will get an extra reward for him. Commander, you see"

    Ye Qide thought for a while and finally understood what Chang Sun Han meant.

    ?????

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You have a gratifying ability to understand yourself, but you blame the Han people?

    ¡° Implicitness is our virtue

    Ye Zide waved his hand and said proudly: "No problem, as long as your information is really important, what's the harm in my commander doubling your remuneration? Come and tell me quickly. But I remind you, if it is a trivial matter  , you are wasting my time, don¡¯t blame me for turning against you!"

    Changsun Han hurriedly said: "Commander, calm down! The person who sold the information to me is the captain of the city guard of Suiye City. Recently, the defenders of Suiye City have been reinforcing the west wall for days because something was not done when the city was first built.  , the foundation was not very strong, so now the entire west city wall has begun to collapse, causing huge cracks in many walls. If the commander is quick and can reach Broken Leaf City before they have completely repaired the west city wall,  If you use siege equipment to attack the city, you may get unexpected surprises."

    Ye Zide was shocked, his eyes widened and he said, "Seriously?"

    Changsun Han said: "I dare not lie even half a word."

    "Okay! Hahaha! God help me!"

    Ye Zide was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Take two hundred no, take four hundred gold coins to reward this Han friend!"

    Although Arabia and the Tang Dynasty are located thousands of miles apart in the east and west, they are definitely no strangers to the Tang Dynasty, especially the Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties.

    That nation standing tall in the far east not only created a splendid culture and accumulated countless wealth, but also had an extremely powerful army.

    ??For the Taixi tribes who advocate plunder, they simply dream of opening up the road between the East and the West, and go there to burn, kill and loot

    The strongest recognition of the Han people is their unparalleled defense skills.  The Huns, who once boasted the vast desert grasslands of the north and had a powerful force of 400,000 men, repeatedly went south to attack the Central Plains to no avail. Instead, they were beaten by the Han people and fled in embarrassment. They had no choice but to turn westward.  He took over such a "defeated general" who was helpless in the face of the Han stronghold and suffered heavy losses, but he almost swept across the whole of Western Europe, killing half of Europe with heads rolling and blood flowing in rivers. It is still a shame to talk about it to this day.

    This shows how powerful the Han people are in defending the city.

    As one of the most important military towns of the Anxi Army in the Western Region, Suiye City is the first stone blocking the Arab army.

    Although the Anxi Army does not have enough troops, if the Anxi Army defends the city, it will be troublesome to capture it. Ye Zide had already anticipated this.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that a piece of good news would fall from the sky, letting him know the weakness of Suiye City

    How can you not be overjoyed?

    In a war, the balance of military strength is important, but the morale of the military is even more important.  If they can achieve victory after arriving in the Western Region, and capture Suiye City, the important military town of the Anxi Army in the Western Region, it will be of great benefit to the morale of the army.

    The troops are inspired, their morale is like a rainbow, and they have an absolutely superior force. They can sweep across the Western Regions and reach Hexi, which is just around the corner.

    Excited, Ye Zide said loudly: "When I arrive at Suiye City, I will personally lead an army around to the West City, personally attack this strong city in the Western Regions, and kill all the Anxi troops in the city!"

    The generals on the left and right were inexplicably excited just now, but when they heard Ye Qide's words, their expressions suddenly changed.

    "Commander, you must not do it! You are the commander-in-chief of an army and the heir to the empire. With a noble status, how can you put yourself in danger?"
