    Like a surging tide, the Tang army poured into Damascus, causing the originally stalemate situation to turn sharply, and the Arab Empire's efforts were instantly wiped out.  "Kill all the big food dogs!" Tang Jun burst out with an earth-shattering roar, with blazing light in his eyes, looking at the Arab Empire soldiers like a hunter looking at his prey.  This was the capital of the Arab Empire, and establishing authority here would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty.  To establish authority, it must be done with the blood of Arabs, and a massacre is inevitable.  This was Zhang Shuo¡¯s plan, and he issued a massacre order before entering the city.  So, a massacre began.  The Tang army was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, covering every direction. The Arab Imperial Army was no match at all and could only be massacred.  Although the Arab Empire troops stationed in Damascus are the elite of the elite and have strong combat power, the Tang army is not easy to mess with, and its overall combat power is higher than that of the Arab Empire.  Not to mention, the Arab Empire today is in a turbulent situation, with unstable military morale and low morale, and is no match for the Tang Army. ???????????????? Moreover, the Tang army had won consecutive battles, and with the prestige of the victory, its morale was high, and its fighting spirit was high. It was reasonable that the Arab imperial army could not resist under the ebb and flow of one after another.  Despite this, the Arab Imperial Army still showed tenacious resilience and risked their lives to resist for seven days and seven nights before they completely collapsed.  When the massacre stopped after seven days, the entire Damascus was red and the corpses of Arab Empire soldiers were everywhere.  "We're done, done." Malik was covered in blood, breathing heavily, holding the broken scimitar.  His face was pale and he kept muttering.  At the end of the war, he personally went into battle and tried to reverse the situation, but the result was still in vain.  "The Chinese are so powerful! So powerful! I had known this before. Why should we provoke the Chinese?" "The Chinese have been able to dominate the world for thousands of years. It is indeed not a matter of luck. It is extraordinary. Alexander did not conquer China back then.  Go, maybe it's his luck." "Oh my God, why are there Chinese people when there are loyal servants of God?" Everyone is injured.  His face was full of exhaustion and fear, and he was full of fear of the Tang Dynasty.  The Arab Empire has its sights set on the Middle East, and even the old empire of Persia was destroyed.  But.  After encountering the Tang Dynasty, it was a period of unlucky times, with defeat after defeat, and eventually even the capital was lost.  In the past, they dreamed of entering the legendary Golden Kingdom and making a fortune.  Only now do I realize how absurd and arrogant this idea is.  It¡¯s a pity.  It was too late. The Tang army had already captured Damascus, and the Arab Empire was in turmoil.  "We must not fall into the hands of the Chinese! Because we are loyal servants of God!" Malik gritted his teeth.  He made up his mind and said: "We want to return to the warm embrace of Allah!" "That's right! We cannot fall into the hands of the Chinese." The ministers responded loudly.  They arrogantly wanted to conquer the Tang Dynasty and enslave the Tang Dynasty. If they fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, the consequences could be imagined and they would be humiliated.  Think about it.  The Turkic leaders Jieli Khan and Mochu fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty did not kill them.  He also granted them beautiful homes and fertile land, allowing them to eat and drink well.  But.  Whenever there was a major celebration in the Tang Dynasty, they had to "dance". What a humiliation it was.  If they fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will follow the same pattern. Whenever there is a major celebration, the caliph and his ministers will be required to perform dances to cheer for them, which will be more uncomfortable than death.  Therefore, Malik and the others would rather die than be prisoners.  A group of monarchs and ministers put scimitars on their necks and wanted to wipe their necks.  At this moment, I saw a group of Tang troops coming, roaring loudly: "Want to die? What a beautiful idea! Catch the alive ones!" The Tang troops rushed up like wolves and tigers, opened their bows and fired arrows, and first shot down the bent weapons in their hands.  Knife, they pounced forward again, three or five against one, knocking Malik and the others to the ground.  "The Caliph has been captured alive!" "The Caliph has been captured alive!" The soldiers of the Tang Army burst into loud cheers, and everyone was excited.  The Caliph is the ruler of the Arab Empire. To capture him alive is a supreme honor. Who can not be happy about it?  "Are you a general?" Malik felt helpless.  "General? I'm going to become a general." The soldiers of the Tang Army were full of joy.  Capturing Malik and his ministers alive is a great achievement, and promotion to general is inevitable.  "Hey. I was captured alive by the soldiers." Malik looked ugly.  He is a dignified caliph with an extremely noble status. If the person who captures him alive is a general or a high-ranking general, he will still feelBe more comfortable.  Being captured alive by ordinary soldiers made him feel very angry.  Soon, Malik was escorted to Zhang Shuo.  "Malik, you once sent a message to the Holy Queen to get along well with the Tang Dynasty. In fact, what you said was nonsense. You harbored evil intentions. You tried to conquer the Tang Dynasty and enslave the Tang Dynasty. Did you ever think that this day would happen?" Zhang said with a look.  Zhuo Zhuo said coldly.  "Hey." Everything he said was redundant now, and Malik could only sigh.  "Do you know why you failed?" Zhang said he decided to hit Malik hard.  "I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Malik thought for a while and said.  "Wrong." Zhang Shuo shook his head and said: "It is true that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, but this is not the fundamental reason for your failure. The reason why you failed is because you did not unite the great food together, and each place was doing its own thing. What are you doing?  If something goes wrong, it will collapse." Malik looked thoughtful.  "There was an emperor in Chinese history named Qin Shihuang, you should know about it." Zhang said and continued: "He wiped out the six countries and unified China. Then he took decisive measures to unite China. Since then, China has  Although there are divisions and reunions, it is still unified. " Qin Shihuang's unification of China was a turning point in Chinese history. It was not because Qin Shihuang unified the territory, but because Qin Shihuang created a unified Chinese civilization and brought China together.  This is the fundamental reason why China has always stood firm despite ups and downs.  Without a unified civilization, we cannot unite together. There is only the unification of territory, and that is temporary.  It will fall apart quickly.  In history, many great empires have achieved this in terms of territorial unification, such as the Alexander Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Mongol Empire.  The Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire Eventually, these famous great empires collapsed.  Only the Chinese Empire has gone through ups and downs and survived for thousands of years, standing erect in the east of the world.  Because we have a unified civilization, no matter where we go.  We are all descendants of Yan and Huang!  "I should not devote myself to war, but should devote myself to politics like Qin Shihuang and bring all places together." Malik was also a smart man and immediately understood what Zhang meant.  "It's a pity, it's too late." Zhang said with the corners of his mouth raised.  "Hey." Malik sighed softly.  Lowered his noble head.  "Take him down." Zhang said and hit him hard. With a wave of his hand, Tang Jun took Malik down.  "What are our casualties?" Zhang Shuo asked.  "Commander, the detailed numbers are still being counted. A rough estimate is that we have 10,000 dead and more than 20,000 injured." Chen Xuanli raised his thick eyebrows and said: "These big-eating dogs are really tenacious, even if they are so disadvantageous. We are also like this  "Heavy casualties." "Yes." Yang Sixu nodded and said, "If we encounter other foreign tribes, such as the Turks, our casualties will be at least 30% of those of the Arab Empire."  The Tang army would achieve a huge victory at a small price.  However, after encountering the Arab Empire, the Tang army always suffered heavy casualties, even under such favorable circumstances.  "Fortunately, Dashi is internally unstable and there is a rebellion in Damascus. Otherwise, our casualties would have been higher." Zhang said he also felt lucky.  ??If it weren¡¯t for the news of the restoration of Persia that crushed the Arab Empire.  The Tang Dynasty had to pay a much higher price.  "Next, let's divide our forces and plunder the land." Zhang said with a thick eyebrow.  Said: "I am leading an army of 200,000 to sit in Damascus. You will lead your troops to advance in separate groups and plunder the land on a large scale. Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty will be killed!" Damascus was the capital of the Arab Empire. It was captured by the Tang Dynasty. The Arab Empire  That's it.  All that's left is to seize the land. It only needs the Tang army to capture it as soon as it arrives. It's time to split up.  Today¡¯s Arab Empire is torn into pieces. As long as the Tang army arrives, it can be captured.  However, there will inevitably be people who are unwilling to give up and want to become enemies of the Tang Dynasty.  There is no need to be soft on these people, just kill them.  "Follow your orders." The generals took their orders.  "Yang Sixu, you are a ruthless person, just go to Mecca." Zhang said with a stern look in his eyes, "Mecca is the holy land of food, and the resistance there must be quite large, so you will kill me ruthlessly!  " "Yes." Yang Sixu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.  Mecca is the holy land of Muslims, and the resistance there must not be underestimated. Only a ruthless person like Yang Sixu is the most suitable person to go there.  The generals acted separately and rushed to various places. Wherever they went, they watched the wind fall.  Only Yang Sixu encountered fierce resistance.  However, these die-hards were blind. What they encountered was Yang Sixu, a ruthless man who ordered the massacre of the city. Wherever he passed, ten rooms were empty, rivers of blood flowed, and mountains of corpses piled up.  Wait until the fighting stopsAt rest, there are only twenty-three out of ten survivors in the entire land of Mecca.  Yang Sixu¡¯s massacre was so ferocious that people in the Middle East trembled with fear when they heard the word Yang Sixu.  Some people even use the words Yang Sixu to scare children who cry at night.  The entire land-grabbing operation was completed in just two months.  Those who ceded territory to rule the roost were either destroyed by the Tang army or surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.  At this point, the entire Arab Empire belonged to the Tang Dynasty.  xxxxxxx Chang'an, Daming Palace, Wu Zetian's palace.  Li Longji, Li Dan, Li Xian, Li Chongrun, and other ministers were all worried because Wu Zetian was dying.  "Grandma." Li Longji held Wu Zetian's withered hand tightly, tears rolling in his eyes.  Wu Zetian was very kind to Li Longji, and Li Longji recognized this grandmother from the bottom of his heart. At this time, Wu Zetian was about to go to the west, and he felt sad about it.  "Is there any news?" Wu Zetian asked with difficulty.  Based on Wu Zetian¡¯s physical condition, she should have died a few days ago.  It was just that she forced herself to take a breath and wanted to know the results of the Western Expedition, so she could barely hold on until now.  "Report." The human spirit Gao Lishi rushed in like flying, reported loudly, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang said there is good news, Dashi has been destroyed! The territory of Dashi is owned by the Tang Dynasty!" "Okay! Okay! Okay!  !" Wu Zetian patted the back of Li Longji's hand with her withered right hand, and said with a look of relief and satisfaction: "Sanlang, the country is in your hands, grandma is relieved. You are brilliant in martial arts, this is a prosperous age.  Well, the name of the year is Kaiyuan, so let¡¯s call it ¡®Kaiyuan Prosperity¡¯.¡± After finishing her words, Wu Zetian slowly closed her eyes with a look of peace and relief.  (Complete book) (To be continued)
