    Zhang said in a calm voice, and went on talking one after another, but the faces of the generals changed greatly when they heard it, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.  "Are there really so many problems?" The generals looked unbelieving.  According to their thinking, the current situation is very good for the Tang Dynasty. As long as the troops reach the border of the Arab Empire, they can have a war with the Arab Empire. It is really hard to believe that they believe that the Tang Dynasty has so many problems.  "What Zhang Shuo said is the most important problem. Plus some other less important problems, there are many more problems in Datang." Li Longji nodded heavily, affirmed, and said: "Especially in China, there are  There are still more problems." "Taizong of Tang Dynasty was Niu Shining's emperor. During his reign, the "Reign of Zhenguan" was famous in history and achieved unprecedented achievements.  However, since his death and the soft emperor Gaozong of Tang became emperor, Tang Taizong's achievements have declined and problems have begun to accumulate.  Especially in order to replace the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian knew that some people had no talent, but they were beneficial to her and could be used. She had to use these people, which resulted in the uneven distribution of good and bad officials in the court.  Moreover, in order to remove the obstacles to ascending the throne, Wu Zetian massacred the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, such as Changsun Wuji, Chu Daoliang, etc. This caused great losses to the Tang Dynasty, which were difficult to make up for the time being.  If the Arab Empire had not already advanced eastward, Li Longji would not have led his troops to the expedition when Li Dan had just ascended the throne, because the Tang Dynasty had to send troops to seize these advanced bases first.  From a safe point of view, after Li Dan ascends the throne and the foundation is solid, the best strategy for the Tang Dynasty is to send troops again.  It's just that time waits for no one, and the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to send troops in advance.  And, what¡¯s surprising is.  Li Longji actually seized the opportunity to destroy Tubo.  Then he sent troops to conquer Tianzhu.  After a series of wars, despite brilliant achievements, more problems have accumulated.  If these problems are not dealt with, once a war breaks out between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, the consequences will be disastrous and will cause huge losses to the Tang Dynasty.  "Then we have to stop advancing?" Although the generals were unwilling, they had to accept Zhang Shuo's statement.  "Send the order: All ministries should stop advancing and go to Suiye City to discuss matters." Li Longji nodded.  Give orders loudly.  This order was quickly conveyed to the front line, and the one who was least willing to withdraw his troops was Zhang Xiaofei.  "What? Stop moving forward?" Zhang Xiaofei shouted at the top of his voice: "Did the prince make a mistake? If I work harder, I can catch Gu Taibai." Zhang Xiaofei has been chasing Gu Taibai from Afghanistan.  They pursued him to the Western Regions and Central Asia, but failed to capture Gu Taibai.  It¡¯s not because of anything else, but because the Arabian war horses have long endurance and are particularly durable.  Although Zhang Xiaofei's war horse is also one of the best horses in a million, its endurance is really not as good as that of the Arabian war horse.  Arabian horses have the best endurance in the world.  It is the most durable horse breed in the world, so it is normal for Zhang Xiaofei to be unable to catch up.  "This prince. Is he confused?" Zhang Xiaofei muttered dissatisfiedly, and then said: "Execute the order and stop moving forward." Although he was unwilling, he still obeyed Li Longji's order.  Out of trust in Li Longji, he knew that there must be a reason why Li Longji gave the order to stop advancing at this time.  "The prince asked us to stop advancing. It was a wise decision." After receiving the order, Chen Xuanli greatly appreciated it. He resolutely carried out the order, arranged things here, and then headed straight to Suiye City with his men.  When Yang Sixu and Xue received this order, they also appreciated it and carried it out without hesitation.  The rest of the generals did not have this vision. Most of them were unwilling, but they did not dare to disobey. They strictly carried out Li Longji's orders, arranged everything, and then went straight to Suiye City.  xxxxxxxx Suiye City, Li Longji¡¯s handsome mansion.  The generals arrived one after another to see Li Longji and report to the army.  Within a few days, all the generals arrived, and Li Longji beat the drum and raised the tent.  The generals came to the commander's mansion and stood in rows, heads held high and chests high, full of energy.  Li Longji stood at the front, his eyes sparkling, and he scanned the generals. He was very satisfied with the spirit of the generals. He nodded in approval and said: "When I look at it, I can see that you are all so happy that it is unspeakable, even more joyful than the Chinese New Year."  "Are you happy because of the great victory?" "Haha." The generals burst into laughter, as if they had eaten honey.  Although this expedition took a long time, almost three years, the results achieved were extremely amazing. Li Longji conquered large tracts of territory and expanded thousands of miles.  Moreover, he also defeated Gu Taibai and found out the details of Dashi, which is really worth being happy about.  ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you, but I¡¯m happy too.¡± Li Longji said with a smile on his face: ¡°It has been almost three years since we sent troops.Here, we destroyed Tubo, pacified Tianzhu, conquered Pakistan and Afghanistan, and even defeated the ancient Taibai. The countries in the Western Regions surrendered, and the Tang Dynasty expanded its territory thousands of miles away.  " At this point, his voice turned higher and he said: "This is the biggest victory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!  "The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with great martial arts. It destroyed dozens of countries. Countries such as Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goryeo were successively destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. However, like this time, countries were destroyed one after another, and Tubo and Tianzhu were still difficult to destroy.  This is indeed the biggest victory in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and the victory achieved is unprecedented. "Haha.  "The generals laughed heartily and were extremely happy. "However, I want to remind you that although we have achieved such a great victory, we face many problems.  Li Longji's face became solemn, and he changed the topic and said, "Zhang said, tell them again why I want them to stop moving forward."  " "Why?  "The generals were very curious about this matter. The situation was obviously good, but Li Longji ordered to stop advancing. They really couldn't understand. Wuming opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhang. Zhang said in response and said: "You must  It's strange. Even though we have achieved such a great victory, the prince ordered you to stop advancing. Why is this?  " This question is exactly what the generals are thinking. They all open their eyes and prick up their ears. "The whole story is like this" Zhang said and talked about the main issue. "That's it it's time to stop advancing.  "The generals were very reluctant, but they had to agree to stop advancing. "You all understand the problems we are facing. Now let's talk about it. What gains did you gain from the battle with Gu Taibai?  "Li Longji glanced at the generals. The battle with Gu Taibai was the first battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire. Its experience and lessons are extremely important. It is important to summarize them and prepare for the war with the Arab Empire. After defeating Gu Taibai, the Tang army  While we were chasing, we didn¡¯t have time to summarize. Now it¡¯s time to sum up. ¡°Prince, let me speak, let me speak.  "The Tang army gained a lot from the battle with the Arab Empire. The generals had a lot to say, and they were all shouting. "Zhang Xiaofei, you say it.  "Li Longji saw that Zhang Xiaofei was also fighting for it. He liked this general from the bottom of his heart, so he gave him the first opportunity. "Hey.  "The other generals shook their heads, Zhang Xiaofei actually got the opportunity to show his face like this. "Thank you, Prince.  Zhang Xiaofei thanked him, and then said: "Although the Big Food Dog is hateful, it is different from any opponent we have encountered before."  Although foreign tribes such as the Turks, Tubos, and Tuyuhuns have many elites and brave men, they are far inferior to the big food dogs in terms of orderliness, sophisticated equipment, advanced warfare methods, and powerful combat power.  " "That's right.  "All the generals echoed in unison. In the battle with Gu Taibai, the Arab Imperial Army won the respect of the Tang army with their bravery and death-defying spirit. "They dare to fight, fight and die, which is worthy of admiration.  "Zhang Xiaofei has a lot of admiration for the Arab Imperial Army. "That's right.  "All the generals echoed in unison. "Such an opponent is very scary.  Fortunately, it was us who met us. If we had met other opponents, we would have collapsed long ago.  "Zhang Xiaofei was both emotional and disdainful. Since the rise of the Arab Empire, it has swept across the Middle East, then moved eastward, extending its tentacles eastward. After taking over Central Asia, it marched towards China. Along the way, everything is covered.  There was no rival. It was not until the Arab Empire met the Tang Dynasty that it had to curb its aggression. The two countries fought bloody battles in Central Asia for decades, which left a deep impression on Westerners.  Even in modern society, if we study this period of history, Westerners will lament that the Middle Easterners "finally repelled China's attack." "The Big Dog's trebuchet is very good, has a long range, and will be a huge threat to our crossbows."  "Zhang Xiaofei scratched his head, feeling a little worried, and said: "The reason why we were able to destroy Gu Taibai's trebuchet in this battle was mainly because he had never fought with us before and was not familiar with our fighting style. Protecting the trebuchet  The troops are limited.  If he deploys heavy troops to protect us, our crossbows will be in big trouble.  "    "good!  good!  "Chen Xuanli, Zhang Shuo, and Yang Sixu looked at Zhang Xiaofei and praised him in unison. "Zhang Xiaofei, do you know how to use your brain?  "Xue Zhi even joked. "Zhang Xiaofei is a rough and straight person, and using his brain is not his strong point. He is good at charging into battle, and he can count on his fingers the number of things analyzed like this. "Use your brain?"  No, no.  I'm just feeling emotional.  "Zhang Xiaofei scratched his head and said a little naively.   "Zhang Xiaofei is right." Li Longji also greatly appreciated it and said: "Although we won this battle, it was a bit lucky. If Gu Taibai was familiar with our fighting style and used heavy troops to protect the trebuchet,  We will be in big trouble if we want to destroy the trebuchet, and it will take longer. Gu Taibai can completely suppress our strong crossbow with the trebuchet, and our strong crossbow will suffer a lot." The generals nodded heavily.  "Zhang Xiaofei, are there any others?" Li Longji asked.  "And there's more, the war horses of Big Food Dog are particularly good at running." Zhang Xiaofei said with emotion and displeasure on his face: "I have been chasing Gu Taibai for thousands of miles since Kabul, but I don't know.  Many horses were exhausted, but they could not catch up with him. It was because his horses were so good at running. Our horses were exhausted, but his horses were not tired. " Arabian horses have long endurance and are extremely durable. They are the best in the world.  , there is nothing anyone can do about it.  (To be continued)
