Chapter 1188: The Rebel Army's Worries!

Chapter 1188

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

In the distant city of Baghdad, the Caliph of the Great Food Emperor held the snow-white letter paper from Shandar City in his hand, his face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

With an army of 700,000 to 800,000, more than a dozen governors, countless generals, and the three giants of Obsidian and Hural sitting in command, this is an unprecedented large-scale conquest. The caliph was expecting a clean counterattack to wipe out all the Tang and Khorasan people, but a snowstorm completely shattered his dream.

Nearly 500,000 to 600,000 troops were buried deep under the snow, sleeping in the vast area between Khorasan and Shandar City, turning it into a snow country hell. This fiasco pierced the Caliph's heart like an iron cone.

From the idea of ​​conquering the East to the present, the entire Dashi Empire has lost more than one million troops, three powerful governors, and important imperial ministers like the war governor Qutippo. Faced with such a defeat, even the Emperor Caliph of the Empire could not help but pale and struggle to breathe.

"I will never believe it! I will never believe it! I still have so many troops, it is absolutely impossible to lose to a group of Tang people from the east!"

The caliph's body trembled more and more violently, and his expression became more and more agitated. At the last sentence, he couldn't help but growl his eyes red, and yelled out. Kacha, there was only a crisp sound, and the caliph retracted his five fingers, and the handrail made of Haigang in his hand was immediately blown apart by him.

"Your Majesty calm down."

In the entire hall, everyone looked shocked, and quickly knelt down on the ground, each and every one of them was terrified.

"Clatter!"

Just when the caliph was most furious, stepping and stepping in a hurry, a herald of the food came in with a large hunting falcon perched on the palm of his hand.

"Report!"

Seeing the caliph in the hall, the herald lowered his head and quickly knelt down on the ground:

"I just received news from the Tang people. The Tang people accused us of breaking the agreement and launched an attack on their own initiative, demanding that we pay two billion taels of gold. Otherwise, they will launch an attack on us and retaliate against us, and they will kill all the soldiers we died in the battle last night." Concentrate and hang it on the top of the city of Khorasan to show the public."

"Buzz!"

All the generals in the entire hall, including the guards, were startled and raised their heads one after another. And the caliph of the imperial emperor above the main hall even changed his face suddenly, becoming extremely livid.

"asshole!"

Hearing a terrifying roar, the Caliph finally couldn't help shouting:

"Wang Chong! I will definitely smash your corpse into thousands of pieces!"

In the exotic land of Dashi, as the emperor of the ages recognized by Dashi, the most powerful king in history, the proud and conceited Mutasim III called out the name of a Tang Dynasty for the first time.

...

"Master Hou, do you think the cannibal will really agree to our request and pay two billion taels of gold?"

When the Dashi Emperor Caliph was so angry that he almost vomited blood from Wang Chong's letter, at this moment, in Khorasan City, Xue Qianjun followed Wang Chong and said cautiously. When Wang Chong wrote two billion taels of gold in that letter, Xue Qianjun felt his heart tremble.

In this world, 10 million taels of gold is already an astronomical figure, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has to discuss it again and again every year when it is approved, and it will take a long time before it is actually released. On Wang Chong's side, he asked for one billion taels of gold during the first negotiation.

But now, two billion taels was reported directly, and Xue Qianjun felt that his brain was not enough.

"Hehe, of course not!"

Wang Chong flipped through a book in his hand without turning his head.

"ah?!"

Xue Qianjun was stunned for a moment, and stopped in his tracks.

"Mutassim III is in a fit of anger right now, it's no wonder he would agree to our request."

Wang Chong smiled and continued to look at the book in his hand. This is an ancient book from the Sasanian Dynasty. When Yuan Shurong led his disciples to avoid the snowstorm, they translated it into the language of Tang Dynasty in one night, so Wang Chong could read it very fluently.

"Then, my lord, this is..."

Xue Qianjun was immediately confused. If he knew that the other party would not agree, why did Hou Ye write this letter asking for two billion taels of gold?

"Hehe, there is hardly anyone in this world who is richer than the Dashi royal family. The Dashi Emperor Harry found out that he is angry, and it is normal for him not to want to give, but in the end, we will let him pay."

Wang Chong smiled and finally looked up from the book.

The Tang Dynasty was rich, but this kind of wealth was the wealth of the entire empire. The wealth was concentrated in the whole people, and in the hands of the people, the royal family only owned a part of it. Therefore, although Datang is rich, the Ministry of Households still needs to worry about appropriating military expenses for the Ministry of War every year.

But Dashi is different. The emperor Caliph of Dashi owns the entire empire, and he insists on one thing. There is no concept of the world being a public here. Moreover, the wealth of Dashi is not reflected in the wealth of the entire country, but in the powerful class and caliphs of the entire empire, not to mention that the countries around Dashi have accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of wealth, all of which are covered by Dashi. The imperial army looted it and dedicated it to its own emperor, the Caliph. The wealth of the Caliph can be imagined.

Facing such a wealthy caliph, it is strange that Wang Chong is not moved.

Wang Chong's future plan needs the support of huge wealth, and the Caliph is the best "funder".

Xue Qianjun looked at Wang Chong, half understanding.

"Boom!"

While Wang Chong was talking with Xue Qianjun, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Without even thinking about it, Wang Chong waved his hand and said.

The door opened, and a soldier from the Anxi Protectorate quickly walked in:

"Master Protector, Your Excellency sent me here, please go to the meeting hall to talk!"

...

Outside the city, the wind and snow gradually subsided. When Wang Chong went to the Khorasan Chamber to meet with Gao Xianzhi, another meeting was also secretly going on in another place.

It's just that, unlike many people's imagination, there are no Tang people here, only Khorasan people and other rebels.

"General, you have also seen the strength of the Tang people. The big cannibals are so fierce and sturdy, they have conquered so many countries, but they have been defeated again and again in their hands. In just a few months now, they have already been damaged. It is unbelievable to have more than one million troops. But I am worried that Datang will withdraw sooner or later, and the big cannibals will come back, and I will die without a place to die when the time comes, and everything will be in vain.”

In the hall, a leader of the rebel army said worriedly.

The coalition forces won the battle last night and killed at least 500,000 to 600,000 Dashi troops. This kind of victory is unprecedented, but at this moment the rebel army is full of gloom, and even panicked. The easier it is to win, the easier it is to worry about losing it.

Although the current reinforcements have completely defeated the big cannibal's attack and successfully gained their own power under the big cannibal's eyes, no one knows how long this peace and victory can last. It would be unacceptable for everyone to fall into the slavery of the big cannibal again in the end.

"But didn't General Wang agree to become the commander-in-chief of our coalition forces? And the Tang people managed to get here, why do you think they will retreat?"

"No! It's been a while since the Tang people arrived here, but they haven't taken over the city lord's mansion and the whole of Khorasan until now, and they have already consumed too many elites in the war with the big cannibals. The Tang Dynasty/army staying in Khorasan is less than 30,000 people, this is not the posture to rule a place at all."

In the hall, a rebel leader stood up and said.

"That's right! If the people of Tang really want to gain a firm foothold in Khorasan, it is impossible that no troops have been sent here. Although Khorasan and the territories of the people of Tang are far apart, if the people of Tang really want to stay here , then there must be a way to overcome it.”

Another rebel leader also spoke.

"Not bad, if the Tang people want to stay here, there must be a way to do it!"

In the hall, everyone followed suit.

Bahram turned his head and glanced, and recognized the last person who spoke at a glance. It was a leader of the rebel army in the northeast region of Dashi, named Sangar. This person has a calm personality and has a high reputation among the rebel army. Even he is worried that the Tang people may leave, and the panic in the hearts of others can be imagined.

Bahram didn't speak, but his brows were wrinkled, and the frowns got deeper and deeper. He didn't have this kind of worry in his heart, but he wouldn't say it in front of everyone.

"General, you are the closest to the commander of the Tang Dynasty, can you think of a way to let him stay?"

"You and I know the viciousness and cruelty of the big cannibal. If the Tang people leave, you and I know what the consequences will be. Do you really want to see this kind of tragedy happen?"

"We have already been killed by the big cannibals too many people. Even if we die this time, we will not submit to them. No matter what, we must seize this opportunity and find a way to let the Tang people stay."

In the hall, everyone chattered and whispered in Bahram's ear.

Apart from the Tang people, Bahram has the highest cultivation level and the closest relationship with the Tang people in the entire coalition army, which is why they invited Bahram to discuss in secret.

Seeing the strength of the Tang people, seeing the courage, determination, wisdom and strategy of the young commander of the Tang Dynasty in the blizzard, the more everyone cherishes the alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and the more they hope that they can stay here, Forge long-term strategic alliances.

I'm afraid even Wang Chong would never have imagined that the "peace" he showed due to his indulgence in the war would cause such strong uneasiness among the leaders of the coalition forces.

"However, this matter is not something I can decide. If Tang Ren wants to leave, what can I do?"

Bahram frowned and said, as soon as the voice fell, the entire hall was suddenly dead silent.
