Chapter 1014 Black Forest

Chapter 1014

"How is it? Is there any news from the empire?"

A voice came from the Black Forest. On the official road passing through the Black Forest, Abu Muslin sat on an unknown stone statue beside the road and spoke. The Silk Road is the road of merchants, and the Black Forest is a place where merchants often rest, so many merchants erect statues of various gods here to protect themselves.

Most of these statues are gods of wealth related to gold, silver and treasure. Everyone erected one here, and over time, it became a landscape in the Black Forest. Many people even came here to watch it.

But neither Abu Muslim/Lim nor Ziyad has the heart to appreciate it. In the Battle of Talas, 100,000 elite warriors died in battle, the Behemoth Legion was wiped out, and the Cathay Legion, which was built with a huge amount of power from the empire, was also severely damaged. Most importantly, even the empire's favored servant Maisir died. over there.

The hearts of the two were extremely heavy at this moment.

Starting from Khorasan all the way to Samarkand, the big food cavalry led by the two were invincible all the way, destroying countless forces, but in Talas, the two encountered an unprecedented fiasco in their lives.

"I have already contacted. The governor of Tarsus, Qutippo, and the governor of Cairo, Osman, have already responded. They have heard about Talas, and they have already led the most elite forces. They are rushing here at the fastest speed. At most They will be able to arrive smoothly in a month. They are very interested in the Great Tang forces that have never been in contact with the East."

Ziad Road.

The governor of Tarsus, Qutippo, and the governor of Cairo, Osman, are unfamiliar names to the country east of Congling. I am afraid that not many people know it at all, but in the Dashi Empire and their respective jurisdictions, they are It is the existence of thunder piercing ears, children stop crying.

In terms of status, these two people have almost the same status as the iron-blooded governor Abu Muslim/Lin, especially the governor of Tarsus, Qudebo, who is also known as the governor of war. Under his leadership, the army of Dashi has advanced by leaps and bounds. , Destroyed, crossed the Mediterranean Sea, captured Tarsus, and fought all the way to the vicinity of the Black Sea.

In terms of the fanaticism of war, Qutippo is probably stronger than Abu Muslim/Lin.

What Abu Muslim/Lim likes is conquest, the conquest of different empires and peoples, but what Qutipba likes is war itself. Where there is war, there is Qutippo. So even though he didn't have much contact with Abu Muslim/Lin, after hearing about Talas, the frightened war governor immediately responded to Abu Muslim/Lin's request for help and led the army rushed over.

As for Osman, governor of Cairo,

Although the status is not as high as that of Abu Muslim/Lin, he is also a well-known and well-known existence in the Dashi Empire. His combat experience is extremely rich, especially he and Abu Muslim/Lin are very good friends. When conquering the ancient Khorasan Dynasty, the two once fought side by side and led the army to destroy this ancient and powerful opponent. .

There is an extremely deep friendship between the two.

In Abu Muslim/Lin's plan, Osman was originally his reinforcement in the rear. As long as he conquered Talas and advanced into the Western Regions, Osman would come from the rear to join him and conquer the east. But now, the fiasco of Talas forced Abu Muslin to change his plan and call Osman ahead of schedule.

Hearing Ziyad’s words, Abu Muslin/Lin obviously became much more energetic. Whether it’s Qutippo or Osman, everyone has a large number of elite soldiers and generals under their command. Lost troops can be quickly made up for. More importantly, no matter Qudibo or Ottoman, they are also very powerful in combat. The three governors united can almost completely destroy Talas, and even complete the great cause of conquering the East in one fell swoop.

Even so, Abmus/Lin's bushy eyebrows were still slightly frowned.

"What did Qudibo say? He will never do anything that is not beneficial. If he is willing to make a move this time, he must ask for something."

Abmus/Lindau.

"this……"

Ziad hesitated, but seeing Abu Muslin's stern eyes, he finally spoke out:

"Qutibo asked the Governor-General to give up part of the war zone, and if the war is won, he hopes that the Governor-General will give up the quota of eastern weapons in the Caliphate. In addition, he has the right to select 10,000 elite soldiers from the Lord's army. , Follow him and become his personal soldier."

Ziad Road. While speaking, he kept secretly looking at Abu Muss/Lin's complexion. Sure enough, after hearing Qudebo's request, Abu Muss/Lin's complexion became darker and uglier. Ziad's voice couldn't help getting lower and lower.

The east is an undeveloped war zone, where there are endless treasures and enemies. Qutibo has coveted the east since the empire divided the war zones. It's just that the empire is strictly hierarchical, and no one can disobey the caliph's orders. In addition, Abu Muslim/Lin has always been strong, and his iron fist is no less than that of Qudibo, so Qudibo has never been able to intervene in it.

But this time Taros' disastrous defeat clearly made Qudibo feel the opportunity, and immediately stuck out his minions without hesitation.

The black forest is very quiet, you can hear the drop of a needle, you don’t need to look up, Ziyad also knows that Abu Muslin’s face must be extremely gloomy at this time.

Everyone knows that the East is under the control of the iron-blooded Governor Abu Muslin. If anyone makes such a request, it will be a kind of humiliation to Abu Muslin. Impossible to agree.

"good!"

Unexpectedly, just when Ziyad thought Abu Muslin would refuse, Ziyad heard an unexpected answer.

"grown ups!"

Ziad's heart was shocked, and he raised his head suddenly, with a shocked expression on his face.

"My lord, you must never agree. If you agree to Qutibo's unreasonable request, I'm afraid your lord will become the laughing stock of the entire empire in the future. It will also be extremely detrimental to your prestige in the East."

In just a split second, Ziad immediately reacted and tried his best to persuade him. Every governor of the empire is arrogant. If Abu Muslim/Lin agrees to Qudebo's request, then he will always be overwhelmed by Qudebo in the future.

"Ziyad, you didn't understand what I meant. Now is not the time to care about personal gains and losses. Both I and Qudebo underestimated the severity of this eastern battle. In Talas, we encountered unprecedented Enemies, they are stronger than any of our previous opponents. Behemoth Legion, Cathay Legion, we have relied on them to conquer many powerful opponents, including the Khorasan Dynasty, but this time they all failed. From Khorasan All the way to Samarkand, there has never been an empire that can hold us back for such a long time, let alone defeat us, but these Tang people did it."

Abu Muslim/Lin sat on the wreckage of the stone statue, his expression was completely different from before, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he seemed to have penetrated all the details and mysteries of the entire war.

"grown ups……"

Ziyad was stunned, the Abu Muslin at this moment was something he had never seen before.

"Let him come, tell Qutibo, I agree to all his conditions, but there is only one condition, he must bring his most elite troops here."

Without waiting for Ziyad to say more, Abmus/Lin said firmly and without hesitation.

"Subordinates understand!"

There was a complicated look in Ziad's eyes, and he finally nodded.

"Also, how about the recruiting of the militia?"

Abu Muslim/Lim asked.

This time in the war with Datang, Dashi suffered heavy losses. Abu Muslim/Lin's current military strength is seriously insufficient, and urgently needs to replenish the source of troops. Dashi is a country of fighting, and this style of advocating fighting has gradually spread to all nearby Conquered areas, so the Dashi Empire has always had the best reserve source of troops, and militia recruitment is one of the important means.

Big cannibals generally practice martial arts, have a very high level of training, and have a strong sense of combat. As long as they are equipped with weapons, horses and armor, and undergo a certain formation and training, these people are a high-quality source of soldiers. In this way, Abu Muslim/Lin has been able to continuously obtain troops. In the Battle of Talas, although he had a stalemate with Gao Xianzhi for more than two months and suffered huge losses, but in this way, not only did the troops not decrease, Instead, more and more.

——This is also an important reason why the Dashi Empire can continue to expand, conquer so many empires and civilizations in a short period of time, and transform into the most powerful empire west of Congling.

"This..., the casualties in this war are much more serious than we expected. From Khorasan to Samarkand, the strength of the militia has been severely depleted. More importantly, this war with Datang, Everyone is paying attention. As soon as Taros was defeated, the news spread immediately. Now many people have started to avoid recruitment. Recently, the number of our recruitment has been far less than before. I am afraid it will be difficult to recruit in a short period of time. to a large number of troops."

Ziad said in a low voice.

The side effects of the Battle of Talas were much more serious than imagined, not only the strength and morale of the troops, but now even the backup source of troops could not be recruited, which the two of them had never thought of before.

Abu Muslim/Lin did not speak, and his thick eyebrows were furrowed even more deeply.

"...However, what my subordinates are most worried about is not the militia and Qudebo, but Baghdad."

Ziad was worried and didn't say any more.

Dashi is a hierarchical empire, and the death of a Mesir is even more serious than the fiasco of Abu Muslin in Talas. S/Lin's dereliction of duty is even more serious incompetence. Judging from the news from Baghdad, the capital of the empire, His Majesty was very furious. The entire capital of Baghdad caused great waves because of Mesir's death. Countless nobles, governors, and generals blamed Abu Muslim/Lin.

Although Mai Xier's reputation in the imperial capital may not be too good, but now that the emperor is furious, no one will jump out at this time to make things difficult for His Majesty.

——Although Mesir is unpopular, he represents the Caliph after all!
