    With Yusuf's intelligence, he would not have imagined that when Li Longji recalled the generals from the Western Regions at this time, he must be discussing the dispatch of troops.  When these generals returned to the Western Regions, it was time for the Tang Dynasty to advance westward.  But at the moment, Yusuf is in dire straits, and his homeland in Persia is extremely unstable.  The instability of Persia's homeland meant that his backyard would catch fire at any time.  At this juncture, the Tang Dynasty was about to advance westward again. Even with Yusuf's courage and courage, he felt a headache.  "The Chinese are going to take action?" The generals were also surprised.  Although they had long wanted to invade China and conquer China, they knew very well that this was not a good opportunity to fight the Tang Dynasty.  Because the homeland of Persia is their strategic base, and the homeland of Persia is unstable, they will suffer great losses if they start a war rashly.  However, it is no longer up to the Arab Empire to decide whether to fight or not, but to the Tang Dynasty.  The Tang Dynasty said it wanted to fight, so the war would definitely begin.  The Arab Empire can only fight passively. It must fight even if it doesn't fight!  "It doesn't matter." After all, Yusuf is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is very courageous. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Since the Chinese want to fight, then we will accompany them to fight." Isn't this nonsense?  The Tang Dynasty is going to war, can you not accompany it?  "To borrow Chinese words, it's just like water coming to the country and soldiers coming to block it. It's no big deal." Yusuf waved his hands grandly and said: "Let's discuss how to fight this battle." "Sir, I  I think that the Chinese will not come if they are good." Muhammad was the first to speak and said: "In the past, it would have been difficult for the Chinese to station large armies in the Western Regions. Now the situation is very different.  A hundred thousand troops entered the Western Region. Therefore, this battle was a life and death battle. "In the past, the Tang Dynasty did not conquer Tianzhu and could not obtain enough food and grass, which restricted the Tang Dynasty from stationing a large number of troops in the Western Region.  Now that Li Longji had conquered Tianzhu, he could transport grain and grass from Tianzhu, making the Western Regions rich in grain and grass, and the Tang Dynasty could mobilize a large number of troops.  In the past few years.  The Tang Dynasty made great efforts to govern Tianzhu and achieved great success. The people of Tianzhu lived and worked in peace and contentment, and had as much food and grass as they needed.  "Therefore, I think it is not appropriate for us to have a head-on confrontation with the Chinese. We have to avoid the Chinese's edge." Muhammad continued: "We can drag the Chinese troops down and tire them out, and then act accordingly." "Good idea!  "Gu Taibai greatly agreed with this method.  Said: "Even if China no longer has to worry about the lack of food and grass in the Western Regions, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the Western Regions. If nothing is done, this will have a heavy blow to the morale of the army. It won't be long before the Tang army's morale is low. We can take advantage of this situation.  Counterattack." Gu Taibai is indeed a famous general in the Arab Empire, and he sees the problem very clearly.  If the Tang Dynasty¡¯s hundreds of thousands of troops did nothing in the Western Regions, it would have a heavy blow to the morale of the army.  It can be imagined that the Tang army came with high morale and wanted to defeat the Arab Empire.  In the end, they were unable to take action or make meritorious deeds in the Western Region. Who would have high morale?  Sweet Wedding of a Rich Family: Naughty Little Cute Wife "This delay can also buy us time." Muhammad continued: "As long as we have enough time, it will be enough to pacify Khorasan, and we don't have to worry about it anymore.  We can fight a war with the Chinese. "What the Arab Empire needs most right now is time to re-stabilize the Persian homeland.  If they were really bought time, this would be extremely detrimental to the Tang Dynasty.  "Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the Western Region. Even if there is no shortage of food and grass, it will be difficult to bear such a heavy burden over time. As long as it drags on, the Chinese people's food and grass will have problems sooner or later." Muhammad added.  Conquering Tianzhu and using Tianzhu to solve the food and grass problem in the Western Regions was indeed a good way for the Tang Dynasty.  However, with an army of hundreds of thousands, people eating horses' chews would eat up a mountain in one day, requiring countless amounts of food and grass.  As time went on, there was no telling whether Tianzhu could bear it.  If Tianzhu cannot bear it anymore, the Tang Dynasty will have to adjust grains from the mainland, which will be in big trouble.  This would shock the world and destabilize the Tang Dynasty internally.  The reason why Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed in his eastern expedition to Korea and ultimately led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty was because too many troops were sent out and too many civilians were sent out, which shocked the world and caused the people to rise up. In the end, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed.  "Not bad!" Yusuf looked at Muhammad with admiration and said, "Your idea is very good! We need a strong city to block the Chinese advance. What do you think is better?" "Thank you for the compliment, sir."  It was an honor to receive praise from Yusuf, and Muhammad was extremely happy.  "Sir, I think Henros is suitable." Muhammad walked to the large military map, pointed at the map, and analyzed: "Hengros is located at the junction of the Western Region and Samarkand, location is extremely important.  As long as Henros is captured, the Chinese will open the door to Samarkand, and they can drive straight into Samarkand.  " At this point, his voice was slightly higher and he said: "And Samarkand is very rich, with a large population and abundant products. If the Chinese get here, they won't have to worry about food and grass.  I think that in order to capture Samarkand, the Chinese will attack Henros at all costs.  ¡± The location of Hengrus is very important. It is the gateway to Samarkand. If Henglus is captured, it will open the way to Samarkand. As long as the rich Samarkand is captured, the Tang Dynasty¡¯s food and grass problem will be solved.  There is no need to transport grain and grass from Tianzhu. Although it is a good way to solve the grain and grass problem of the Tang Dynasty, it is still too far to transport grain and grass from Tianzhu to Persia.  Far away. Therefore, it has become inevitable to implement "feeding the enemy with food". In modern terms, it is "fighting to support war". The reborn disciples of the high family will eat wherever they go. It is precisely because Henglus is so important.  In history, Gao Xianzhi led the Tang army to march westward, hoping to capture Hengrus and then Samarkand. If he succeeded, the Tang Dynasty's food and grass supply in the Western Regions would be solved, and then the Tang army would march into the Western Regions.  A battle with the Arab Empire. Seeing this possibility, the Arab Empire mobilized a large number of troops and fought the battle with the Tang Dynasty for five days and five nights. The Tang army always had the upper hand.  The Arab Empire fought. Unfortunately, Gao Xianzhi did not have enough troops to achieve the final victory. This gave the Arab Empire the opportunity to instigate a rebellion against the Geluolu tribe. The Arab Empire entered behind the Tang army, and the Tang army was attacked from both sides.  , had to retreat. The Tang Dynasty was the farthest point in its westward march. After this battle, the Tang Dynasty showed its strong ability to recover.  It took more than a year to restore the strength of the Western Regions. Just when they were about to make a comeback, the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out. The Tang Dynasty declined and had to withdraw from the Western Regions. "You came up with a good idea!  "Yusuf's evaluation was very high and he used the word "very good", which made Muhammad very excited. "The current Hengrus is not enough to shoulder the important task of blocking the Tang army's advance.  It also needs repair and reinforcement.  "Yousuf's eyes were shining brightly and he said: "We can think of this.  Li Longji will also think of this, and he will definitely bring a large number of siege equipment.  Therefore, strengthening Permanent Ross has become the top priority.  " This is very reasonable. The Arab Empire can think of this, and so can the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will inevitably manufacture some siege equipment. If Henglus is not reinforced, it will be difficult to stop the Tang army. " Especially the city gate, even more  It needs to be reinforced, the Chinese crossbows are terrible.  "Yusuf was deeply impressed by the crossbow. It was a weapon for siege. If the city gate was not reinforced, it would be broken open by the crossbow attack. "Moreover, Henglus also needs a good general to take charge.  "Yusuf's eyes were on Gu Taibai and Muhammad. "My lord, I will go there eventually.  "Gu Taibai and Mohammed stood up quickly and said loudly. "Yeah.  Yusuf was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of these two close generals and said: "Gu Taibai, your defeat in Kabul is a great shame and humiliation. This time, I will give you a chance to avenge your shame."  You are in charge of Henros!  " "Thank you, sir.  "Gu Taibai was so excited that he shed tears. The defeat in Kabul made Gu Taibai very sad. He was thinking about how to avenge his shame all the time. Yusuf gave him this opportunity, and he was very excited. "You remember  Live, no matter how much it costs, you must keep Rose for me.  Yusuf's face sank and he said coldly: "To borrow a Chinese saying, I hope you will realize your shame and then be brave!"  If it fails, you don¡¯t have to come to see me!  "Liao Hua, Pioneer of the Three Kingdoms" "People are in the city!"  "Gu Taibai held his head high and said proudly. If he fails again, he will not be able to see the wise and great governor, so he might as well commit suicide. After receiving the order, Gu Taibai immediately set off and rushed to Henglus to prepare  War. xxxxxxxx Chang'an, Daming Palace. "Gao Lishi, today is a good day for the return of the generals from the Western Regions. You must do your best to prepare a sumptuous banquet for them.  "Li Longji said to Gao Lishi with a smile on his face. "Today is the day when Chen Xuanli, Yang Sixu, and Xue Zhi, the generals who guarded the Western Regions, will return. Although Chen Xuanli and the others are ministers, to Li Longji, they are still friends.  When Li Longji was still in despair, Chen Xuanli and the others followed Li Longji., together with Li Longji, they defeated the Turks, destroyed Tubo, conquered the Western Regions, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and showed great power in the Western Regions.  This is the feeling of "comrades-in-arms" and the friendship of brothers.  Li Longji was very happy when they came back.  "I haven't seen them for several years. I wonder if they can wait for changes?" Li Longji's eyes flashed.  "Your Majesty, the generals are here." Gao Lishi reminded him hurriedly.  "Let's go and greet them." Li Longji shook his sleeves with a smile on his face.  "Your Majesty, are you going to greet him personally?" Gao Lishi was a little surprised.  Li Longji is a high-ranking emperor. He personally went to greet them. This was too disrespectful to Chen Xuanli and the others.  "Of course." Li Longji nodded heavily and said: "Gao Lishi, when you followed me, I was nothing, just a false name for a prince. I am very pleased that you worked hard and had no regrets. Similarly, Chen Xuanli,  The same goes for Yang Sixu and Xue Zhi. They are both my generals and my friends. I miss them very much. I will naturally welcome them when they return. " "Your Majesty, it is my blessing to follow you.  Gao Lishi was very moved and said: "In the next life, Gao Lishi will still follow His Majesty." Li Longji had no doubts about this, because Gao Lishi was the most loyal person to Li Longji and could devote his life to Li Longji.  ,
