Sukhguman does not explain now. He knows that it is useless to explain this request. And even if you explain it, can you dispel the caliph's doubts?

It's better not to say a word now. Anyway, it's just to resist the Tang army. If you want to give, you can give. If you don't want to give, if you lose, it won't be blamed on me.

The Arab Royal Capital Garrison was founded decades ago by the father of the current caliph.

It can be said that it took a lot of effort to form this army. The number of this army was not large, only 40,000, but it was the elite of the entire Arab Empire. After every war, everyone in the war Those who have made meritorious deeds and fought bravely to kill the enemy will all join the Royal Capital Guard Corps.

To put it bluntly, it is just like the Forbidden Army of the Central Plains Empire. It only belongs to the leadership of the emperor, and it is also the most powerful army in the country. Within the Arab Empire, except for the caliph, no one else can mobilize them. If you have any ideas, That might mean usurping the throne.

As the generalissimo of the Arab Empire, could Sukhguman not understand this truth? But he still had to bring this matter up. If he didn't bring it up, the troops in his hands would definitely not be a match for the Tang army. And if he raised this matter, even the Caliph If he disagrees, then the Caliph can understand his good intentions.

It is usually said that the Tang army was powerful, but to what extent was it powerful? Those of us who don't know this, now I can give you a benchmark, that is, this request of General Sukhguman. In order to resist the Tang army, he even proposed it to the Royal Capital Guard Corps, which means that The army of the Tang Dynasty has become extremely powerful. Even if you suspect him of treason, he will still make this request.

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

After a cup of tea, the Caliph finally made his own decision. No matter how powerful you say this, he will not allow you to have the royal capital taken away by the legions, especially the current situation on the battlefield. unknown.

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

If this army is brought to the battlefield and is wiped out by the Tang army, then he and all the royal family members will have nothing to rely on. This is equivalent to cutting off his own retreat. As long as he has no brains People with problems will not choose to cut off their own escape route.

Sukhguman also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not get this most elite army, he was allowed to recruit troops around the royal capital. This was already very difficult. You must know that after years of fighting, the Arab Empire There is a group of veterans with very strong combat effectiveness inside. If these people are organized, their strength will be very good.

Although it is not as good as the Royal Capital Guard Corps, after all, many people take off their armor and live a prosperous life at home. The military combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be, but compared with many armies today, it is still much stronger. After all, they have been fighting for half their lives.

"I would like to thank Allah for His blessings, Your Excellency Khalifa. With your strong support, I will definitely win this war and protect Allah's people..."

Sukhguman Uri Bala said a lot, but in the eyes of the Caliph and the prime minister next to him, this guy no longer has that much credibility. If he had said this before, most people would have regarded him with absolute confidence. I believe it, but after experiencing this war, his credibility is no longer that high.

Especially with the large number of refugees heading south, this is no longer a matter of war. This has already begun to shake the foundation of the Arab Empire. If there was no one else, Khalifa would probably have to discuss a replacement.

In fact, the Caliph has long been thinking about replacing someone, and at least one member of the royal family must follow him, but the Prime Minister also said, does the matter in the Anton Governor's Mansion want to happen again? That is, the third prince led his men to fight against the Tang army. As a result, they not only lost the Anton Governor's Mansion, but also caused the disintegration of more than 200,000 troops.

When the third prince failed last time, the Arab Empire didn't take it seriously. After all, their family was rich and they could recruit more than 200,000 troops at any time. But it's different now. Counting their losses in the Western Continent , in recent years, the Arab Empire has lost three to four hundred thousand people. If this happens again, they will have no choice but to flee the royal capital.

Allowing Sukhguman to recruit troops this time was not only to appease this guy, but also because the Arab Empire was a little stretched. It was a helpless move for him to gather these veterans around the royal capital.

When these people took off their armor, the Caliph personally promised that their days of fighting for the empire were over, and the remaining time was all time to enjoy themselves. This is indeed how these people lived. During the war, they robbed a lot of money. With few good things and the favorable treatment given to them by the empire, they indeed lived a good life around the royal capital.

Now suddenly they are asked to return to the army, and they 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. These things are all handed over to Sukhguman.

Ten miles east of the capital of the Arab Empire.

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

Of course, not all ordinary people are qualified to live here. Every household living here has a brave warrior, who has either made meritorious deeds on the battlefield or trained many brave troops. Anyway, it 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)
