The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Sukhguman did not explain now. He knew that it was useless to explain if he made this request. And even if you explained, could you dispel the Caliph's doubts?
It's better not to say a word now. Anyway, we are here to resist the Tang army. If you are willing to give, then give. If you don't want to give, and if you really lose, it can't be blamed on me.

The Arab Capital Garrison Corps was founded decades ago by the father of the current Caliph.

When this army was formed, it took a lot of effort. The number of this army was not large, only 40,000 people, but they were the elite of the entire Arab Empire. After each war, all those who had made contributions and fought bravely in the war would be included in the Royal Capital Guard Corps.

To put it bluntly, it is just like the imperial guards of the Central Plains Empire, which are only under the leadership of the emperor and are also the most powerful army in the whole country. Within the Arab Empire, no one except the caliph can mobilize them. If you have any ideas, you may have the intention of usurping the throne.

As the Grand Marshal of the Arab Empire, how could Sukhguman not understand this? But he had to bring this up. If he didn't, the troops he had would never be a match for the Tang army. And if he brought this up, even if the Caliph disagreed, he would understand his good intentions.

Usually we only say that the Tang army is powerful, but how powerful is it? None of us know, so I will give you a benchmark, that is General Sukhguman's request. In order to resist the Tang army, he even proposed the Royal Capital Garrison Corps, which means that the Tang army is so powerful that it cannot be surpassed. Even if you suspect him of treason, he still has to make this request.

"Impossible, but I grant you the right to recruit soldiers from around the capital, including a group of veterans. You can also throw them into your army and gather 300,000 people to march north to resist the Tang army."

After a cup of tea, the Caliph finally made his own decision. No matter how serious you make this matter, he will not allow you to let the legion take the King's Hand away, especially now that the situation on the battlefield is unclear.

The Arab Empire was in its heyday, and both sides of the Mediterranean were their lands. If Sukhguman could not hold on, the Caliph would flee elsewhere with this army. This army could also ensure the safety of him and the royal family.

If this army was brought to the battlefield and was destroyed by the Tang army, then he and all the royal family members would have no one to rely on, which would be tantamount to cutting off their own retreat. Anyone with a sound mind would not choose to cut off their own retreat.

Suhguman also heaved a sigh of relief. Although he did not get this most elite army, he was allowed to recruit soldiers around the royal capital. This was already very difficult. You know, after years of fighting, there was a group of very powerful veterans within the Arab Empire. If these people were organized, their strength would be very good.

Although it is not as good as the Royal Capital Garrison Corps, after all, many people have taken off their armor and lived a rich life at home, and their military combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be. But compared with many current armies, it is still much stronger. After all, they have been fighting for half their lives.

"I thank Your Excellency the Khalifa, who has been blessed by Allah. With your strong support, I will definitely win this war and defend Allah's people..." Suhguman Uribala said a lot, but in the eyes of the Caliph and the prime minister next to him, this guy no longer has such great credibility. If he had said this before, most people would have absolute faith in him, but after experiencing this war, his credibility is no longer so high.

Especially with the large number of refugees moving south, this is no longer a matter of war. It has begun to shake the foundation of the Arab Empire. If there were no other people, Khalifa would probably have to discuss replacing people.

In fact, the Caliph had long wanted to change people, at least to let a member of the royal family follow him, but the Prime Minister also said, do you want the incident of the Andong Governor's Mansion to happen again? That was when the third prince led his men to fight against the Tang army, and not only did he lose the Andong Governor's Mansion, but also caused the collapse of more than 200,000 troops.

The last time the third prince failed, the Arab Empire did not take it seriously. After all, they were wealthy and could recruit more than 200,000 troops at any time. But now it is different. Counting their losses in the Western continent, the Arab Empire has lost 300,000 to 400,000 people in recent years. If this happens again, they can only flee the capital.

This time, Suhguman was allowed to recruit soldiers not only to appease this guy, but also because the Arab Empire was a bit stretched, and asking him to gather all these veterans around the royal capital was also a helpless move.

When these people took off their armor, the Caliph personally promised that their days of fighting for the empire were over and that the rest of their time would be spent enjoying themselves. These people indeed lived that way. They robbed a lot of good things during the war, and with the generous treatment they received from the empire, they indeed lived a good life around the royal capital.

Now they are suddenly asked to return to the army, and have to face the most ferocious Tang army in the world. I really don’t know what these people will think. Maybe it will cause fierce resistance. Of course, the Caliph will not worry about these things. He has his own things to do. All these things are handed over to Sukhguman.

Ten miles east of the capital of the Arab Empire.

The city wall of the royal capital can still be seen in the distance. This is a small village around the royal capital. Although all you can see are various Gobi deserts and deserts, there are many people living here. In addition, there are two wells in the village, which makes this place very prosperous.

Of course, not all common people are qualified to live here. Every household here has a brave warrior who has either made achievements on the battlefield or trained many brave troops. In any case, he is useful to the entire Arab Empire. Otherwise, you are not qualified to live here at all. This is their honor. (End of this chapter)
