The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 1601 Sukhguman's Request
The Caliph of the Arab Empire sat in his seat in a daze. He originally thought that the Tang army would be unable to deal with the refugees under their command and would be unable to stop their attack. There would be peace for at least a few years.
According to his thinking, Sukhguman's war started off badly, resulting in the direct loss of more than 100,000 people. If they continue to fight, it will not be of any benefit to the Arab side. They must regroup. Only in this way can they start a new war and dispel the shadows in the hearts of many people.
So when Sukhguman proposed to retreat voluntarily and let the refugees block the Tang army, the Caliph agreed.
Of course, the effect was very good at the beginning. The frequently advancing Tang army soon saw the role of the refugees, so under Li Xiang's order, the Tang army began its first retreat in history, and it was a large-scale retreat of the entire army.
Ordinary Arab people didn’t know what was going on, but they understood one thing: the Tang army retreated. Whether it was an orderly retreat or they were forced to retreat because of our defeat depended entirely on the propaganda of the Arab Empire court.
In the month after the Tang army retreated, all the people of the Arab Empire were celebrating, celebrating their victory over the only two great empires in the world. This shows that our Arab Empire is the strongest empire.
No matter how many victories your Tang Empire has won, and no matter how much losses we suffered at your hands in the past, we have won this time. As for how you can hold on, that is your business. We can celebrate our victory.
According to the propaganda of the Arab Empire court, the Tang army traveled a long distance from Chang'an and spent an unknown amount of money along the way to reach their border area. However, they had only stayed in the border area for a few days before they were cut off by our army, so the Tang army had no choice but to go back honestly.
Moreover, based on their understanding of the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the national treasury has been used up this time. If they want to continue the attack, it is impossible at least now.
The entire empire was in peace, but after just a few days of celebration, some cities in the north discovered refugees coming from the border, followed by cities in the north-central region, then cities in the central region, and now even cities in the south have discovered something is wrong.
If the North wins, where will these refugees come from?
And in addition to the refugees, before the refugees came, they were all some bureaucrats and wealthy families in the north. If they really had won, they should not have migrated. They should even have followed the expeditionary troops to plunder wealth in other countries. After all, that's what these people did in the past. But why are they running to the south with their families now?
These bureaucrats said they were here for vacation, but they dared not say what the north was like. After all, they had the responsibility to defend their territory. Leaving the land under their jurisdiction and running to the cities in the south was a dereliction of duty. If the Arab Empire held them accountable, none of them would be able to escape.
As for the wealthy, they were even less likely to say a word. After bribing the local officials, they stayed down in the cities in central and southern Taiwan. Apart from not being able to make money, there was no impact on their lives as the money they had earned before was enough to live on.
Therefore, the arrival of these people did not have a profound impact on the Arab Empire. Most people in the central and southern parts of the country still lived honestly, but when these refugees came, they could no longer live. At that time, the Arab Empire thought of a way to continue to hide and not let the people of the country know what was going on. The Caliph also agreed with this strategy and wanted the officials in the central and northern parts to work hard to keep all these refugees in the central and northern parts and prevent them from spreading fear to the south.
If the Tang army had not followed them, their plan would have been successful. Unfortunately, the Tang army was broken up into small units, and several generals took advantage of the refugees' desire to survive.
Things are so bad now that Sukhguman and the top leaders of the Arab Empire don't know what to do. These refugees are gathering more and more, like locusts. Every time they arrive in a new city, they turn the entire city's population into refugees. The situation is already getting out of control.
Now we are less than 500 miles away from the capital of the Arab Empire...
The Tang army was right behind the refugees. Didn't that mean that the Tang army was coming to attack them? Thinking of this, the Caliph felt uncomfortable all over. Since he took the throne, everything had been going smoothly. He had won a war against those Westerners some time ago. Now the Tang army was at the door? It was really hard to accept.
"We can't let them go further south. If they continue to go south, the entire empire will be lost. The cities in the south don't have wide walls. You must find a way to stop them north of the capital. The capital must not be implicated, otherwise..."
After figuring it all out, the Caliph suddenly gave Sukhguman an order. No matter how many merits you had made in the past, if you let these people kill their way to the royal capital, your merits would be of little use and you would not be able to save your life.
"Great Caliph, your subjects understand, but in addition to my own troops, I hope you can allocate the Royal Capital Garrison Corps to me..."
When Suhguman said this, he almost fell to the ground. He knew how bold it was for him to say this. If it were in the past, when he said this, his head would have been chopped off.
The prime minister next to him was also shocked and even wanted to go up to him and ask him, "Do you know what you just said?"
Suheguman knew that he was bold, but if he did not have new elite troops, he would never be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty army with the 200,000 or so people under his command. Don't say that they come and go without a trace, and don't say that the desert is their world. Anyway, when facing the Tang Dynasty army, Suheguman only recognized one thing, and that was to increase the troops, madly increase the troops.
The Caliph also looked at Sukhguman with hesitation. What on earth did this guy want to do? He already had 200,000 troops, and he still wanted the Royal Capital Garrison Corps? (End of this chapter)
