The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great 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 helpless with the refugees under his command and stop their attack. At least there would be peace for a few years.

According to his idea, Sukhguman's war started badly and directly lost more than 100,000 people. If they continued to fight, it would 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 many people's hearts.

So when Sukhguman proposed to retreat on his own initiative and let the refugees stop the Tang army, the Caliph agreed.

Of course, the effect was very good at the beginning. The Tang army, which was advancing frequently, soon saw the role of 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. Anyway, they understood one thing, that is, the Tang army retreated. Whether it was an orderly retreat or a retreat caused by us, it all depended on the propaganda of the Arab Empire court.

In the month when the Tang army just retreated, all the people of the Arab Empire were celebrating, celebrating that they defeated the only two great empires in the world, which shows that our Arab Empire is the strongest empire.

No matter how many victories your Tang Empire has won, and no matter how much we have suffered at your hands in the past, anyway, we have won this time. As for how you can persist, that is your business, and we can celebrate the 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, and then came to their border area. As a result, they just stayed in the border area for a few days and were directly cut off by our army, so the Tang army could only go back honestly.

And according to their understanding of the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty, this time the treasury has been spent. If they want to continue to attack, at least now it is impossible.

The whole empire was in peace, but after a few days of celebration, some cities in the north found refugees from the border, followed by cities in the central and northern parts, and then cities in the central part. Now even cities in the south have found something wrong.

If the North wins, where do these refugees come from?

In addition to the refugees, before the refugees came, they were all some bureaucrats and wealthy families in the North. If they really won, they should not migrate. They should even follow the expeditionary troops to plunder wealth in other countries. After all, these people did so in the past. But why are they running to the South with their families now?

These bureaucrats said they were here for vacation. They dared not say what the North was like. After all, they had the responsibility to defend the land. Leaving the land under their jurisdiction and running to the cities in the south was a dereliction of duty. Once the Arab Empire pursued this responsibility, none of them could escape.

As for the rich, they would not say anything. After bribing the local officials, they stayed in the cities in the central and southern parts of the country. Except for not being able to continue to make money, their lives were not affected. The money they earned before was enough to live.

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, thinking that the officials in the central and northern parts would work hard to stop all these refugees in the central and northern parts and prevent them from spreading fear to the south.

If there were no Tang army following, then their plan would still be successful. Unfortunately, the Tang army was divided into small pieces, and several generals took advantage of the refugees' desire to survive.

Now things are so bad that Sukhguman and the high-level officials 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 will turn the people of the entire city into refugees, and there is already a trend of getting out of control.

Now it is less than 500 miles away from the capital of the Arab Empire...

The Tang army is behind the refugees, doesn't that mean that the Tang army is also going to kill them? Thinking of this, the Caliph felt uncomfortable all over. Since he took the throne, everything has been going smoothly. He won the war against those Westerners some time ago. Now the Tang army has come to the door? It is really hard to accept.

"We can't let them go south. If they continue to go south, the great cause of the entire empire will not be able to be defended. The cities in the south do not 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 out, the Caliph suddenly gave Sukhguman an order. No matter how many merits you have made in the past, if these people are allowed to kill in the capital, then your merits will not be of much use, and you will not be able to save your head.

"Great Caliph, your subjects understand, but in addition to the army under my command, I hope you can allocate the capital garrison corps to me..."

When Suheguman said this, he almost fell to the ground. He knew how bold he was. If it was in the past, when he said this, he would have been beheaded.

The prime minister next to him was also shocked and even wanted to ask him, do you know what you just said?

Suheguman also knew that he was bold, but now if there were no new elite troops, with the 200,000 or so people in his hands, he would never be the opponent of the Tang army. Don't say that they come and go without a trace, and don't say that the desert is our world. Anyway, when facing the Tang army, Suheguman only recognized one truth, that is, to increase troops, crazy increase troops.

The caliph also looked at Suheguman with hesitation. What on earth does this guy want to do? He already has 200,000 troops in his hands, and he still wants the Royal Capital Garrison Corps? (End of this chapter)
