Chapter 560
"Lee! The coast of the Great Eclipse has become a devil's paradise, did you know it would be like this? Yusuf lay in a fluffy blanket, and the beautiful women beside him carried all kinds of fruits and grapes, waiting for the Eastern governor of the Great Food Empire.
"I know or I don't know, what's the difference? The Tang people are greedy, even if they don't fight. They will also use all kinds of things to hollow out the Great Food Empire. By the time the Great Food Empire is smoked like a dried corpse, you will have to submit.
Look inside this room, you and your maid are dressed in silk. The glass with grape wine is produced by Datang people! Just when I was little, this kind of precious thing. It is still a sought-after commodity trafficked to Datang by Dashi, and the price is very expensive.
The ceramic plate held by the maid next to you is also from the Tang Dynasty. The tea leaves in my cup were also transported by Datang. Oh, by the way, this set of tea sets is also a product of Datang. Look at these servants of yours, the clothes they wear and the shoes they wear on their feet are all products of Datang.
Every morning, you use a variety of utensils from Datang to serve food. Then put on clothes made of Datang fabric and start the day's work. In the evening, the matches you light the candles are still Datang products.
Dashi's houses are still made of stone and rammed earth, but Datang's buildings have been made of cement. They built the walls many times faster than the Great Food. They flew airships in the sky, delivering letters and official documents from the imperial court. And the orders of the caliph can still only be delivered by fast horses.
That's all there is to it, Datang has taken the lead in Dashi in an all-round way. Now, if the Great Eclipse does not fight, in a few decades the Great Eclipse will never have a chance to fight, and I mean forever. Your children and grandchildren will be slaves of the Tang people for generations. Although the Tang people do not rule this land, they can take what they want here! ”
Li Deyu took a sip of tea, and it was a pity that no matter how good the tea was transported from Datang to Dashi, it also became Shen Tea. The taste is much worse!
The maid poured a glass of grape wine, Yousuf waved her hand, and the maid gave the grape wine to Li Deyu.
"Wine is the original sin of ***, you are a heretic, you drink a little. That's when I need to stay awake! Don't be your own, although you are not yet a member of the religion, you are also a part of the Great Eater. If you are unlucky, you will be even more unlucky. You know this better than I do. Yusuf ate the grapes that the maid had fed her, and took a bite of the handmaiden's hand.
"Yes! I'm going to be unlucky, I know that. But I advised you at the beginning, don't kill Zhang Liang. Don't kill the captives, but you won't listen. Now there is no room for things to turn around, and Da Shi wants to fight with Datang. But it's going to be tough, you know? The Western Governor of the Tang Dynasty has become Yunhao, the Duke of Chu.
This person is a legend of Datang, and he is only in his thirties this year. However, the total number of people who died at his hands was more than a million. His growth was accompanied by the establishment of the Tang Empire, and for many years he had no defeat in the southern and northern wars, water battles and land battles.
Goryeo was ruined at his hands, as were Silla and Baekje. When it comes to aliens, he is an out-and-out butcher. If the food falls into his hands, trust me. There are very few *** people here who can survive, very few! Perhaps, the great Qur'an will be destroyed in his hands. Li Deyu drank the grape wine in the cup in one gulp, and the memory that Yun Hao brought him was too terrifying. He didn't mind, making the horror even more intense, and then letting everyone share their fears.
"You mean, he's going to kill us all? Do you know how many people the Great Eclipse has? Yusuf said with a smile.
"Don't believe me? Goryeo had a city in Liaodong, which was massacrated after being attacked by Yunhao. There are 400,000 people in the city, and in the end, not even a single child survived. The huge human head of the Jingguan was built higher than the city wall. Your Excellency, how many 400,000 people do you eat? ”
"Really?" Yusuf sat up suddenly.
Killing 20,000 Tang army prisoners has already made him famous in the Great Eat. Slaughtering 400,000 people at a time, what a concept. His place of rule does not have 400,000 people! The whole Great Eclipse, the population scattered across the vast territory. At most, 10 million, which is still the most optimistic estimate.
With a population of two or three hundred thousand, it is already a big city.
"What's the good of lying to you?" Li Deyu glanced at Yu Sufu, the governor of the East who was dignified and ate the empire. How do you look like a country man who has never seen the world!
"Tell me how many chances we have." Yusufu obviously couldn't hold his breath, and stepped in front of Li Deyu in one step.
"It's hard to say that we have lost the naval battle. Darius buried all of the Great Eclipse Navy in the strait, and now the Great Eclipse coast has completely fallen. They will attack us like wolves along the coast. The saddest thing is that we don't have any chance to fight back. ”
"The coastal affairs are not in my hands, I just want to know if we can defeat the Yun Hao you said if we go to the Western Regions now. Then unite with the people of the Western Regions and fight until you go to the Chang'an City you mentioned. After hearing Li Deyu talk about the wealth and prosperity of Chang'an, Yousufu was very yearning for that legendary city.
"It's difficult, first of all, you have to be able to unite the talents of the Western Regions. Religion is your strength, but long supply lines are your strengths. I've already sent someone to find out, Yun Hao is now building a line of defense in Lop Nur. This line of defense centered on Loulan and was estimated to have a total of more than thirty forts.
If this line is built, I don't believe you'll be able to break through. Once a confrontation is formed, Datang can drag you to death even if it drags it out. Don't forget, they have something called a train. It can transport mountain-like things directly to Loulan from Datang within a few days. At this point, the big food can't catch up. What's more, our supply line is much longer than that of Datang.
Our supplies are not as abundant as Datang. Now, do you still want to attack the Western Regions? Or is it Chang'an? Li Deyu looked at Yousufu playfully and smiled.
"Lee! You've got a new idea, don't you? "Yousufu is not stupid, after listening to Li Deyu's analysis, a fool will go to Datang for trouble. The supply line of more than 5,000 miles is not something that he Yusuf can solve. The place in the Western Regions is barren, and it is not easy to raise food on the spot.
"Of course!" Li Deyu walked to a huge map, pointed to the Great Food Empire in the center and said, "Look at it! The Great Eclipse is actually in the middle of the world, and we only have barren land to the east. Although the Tianzhu people are slightly richer, they are still very poor.
The Tang Dynasty is very rich, but they are also powerful. With our current strength, it is simply not enough to attack Datang. So, we're going to put our goals here. Li Deyu's finger drew a huge circle, and then pointed to the west of the Great Food Empire.
"To the west?" Yusuf said in confusion. This was already beyond his purview, he was the Governor of the East of the Great Food Empire, not the Governor of the West. If he rashly went to the West, he would be brutally punished by the caliph.
"That's right! To the west, only to the west is the way to live. Here, Constantinople! The strait is held here, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important thing is that the rulers here are cowardly and incompetent. Moreover, although it is not as rich as Datang. But it is much richer than Tianzhu, and further west is the territory of the Slavs. Those people are strong, but they are very ignorant.
With your abilities, it won't be difficult to defeat them and rule them. We can go all the way to the west to plunder, with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty. For two or three hundred years, they would not want to touch Constantinople. There you can do whatever you want, and maybe you can become a caliph too. The Prophet did not say that there could be only one caliph. ”
"Shut up!" Yusuf looked at Li Deyu in horror, as if he was looking at a monster. Replacing the Caliph, the thought never crossed his mind. Even in the most beautiful dreams, it can't be!
"You have a very good relationship with the Imam, and perhaps he will be able to help you find a religious explanation. You have an army in your hands, and of course you lack a reason. I can help you find a ......, though! Li Deyu's mouth continued to spray Yusuf's heart-pounding language, Yousuf had never felt like every cell in his body was trembling.
"Say no more!" Yusuf roared loudly. Drawing his sword, he split the head of a maid in a single stroke. Returning with another sword, he stabbed another maid in the chest. Just now, he had sucked the maid's finger. The maid was so dazzled that he didn't hesitate to insert his sword.
The maid clutched her sword in both hands and looked at Yusuf in disbelief. Yusuf drew his sword, and a few slender jade fingers fell on the fine Persian carpet.
Yusuf slashed and slaughtered the house like a madman, and the clowns who gathered around him let out a terrible scream.
The guards rushed in and were speechless at the sight of the terrible scene inside the house.
"Kill! Not a single one to stay! Yusuf's sword was pointed at the clowns, and the guards immediately drew their scimitars and pounced like wolves. The clowns didn't even have time to speak, and they were chopped into pieces with knives.
The room, which had been filled with the sweet smell of honey a moment ago, was now filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
Blood soaked the beautiful Persian carpet, and when one stepped on it, the boots would be briefly glued. When it is raised, it makes a sound of "Zla" and "Zla".
"Get out!" The smell of blood made Yusuf irritable, and he looked like a tiger trapped in a cage. At this moment, he felt his blood burning.
The guards retreated in terror, fearing that the Governor would go mad and become corpses in a pool of blood.
"You killed everyone who heard me speak, but you didn't kill me, the one who spoke. This shows that you are tempted! Li Deyu looked at Yousufu, who was pacing, and said calmly.
"Shut up! Or I'll kill you!" Yusuf raised his sword and pointed it at Li Deyu's throat.
"You won't, if you want to kill me. You'll just get your hands dirty! My words have taken root in your heart, and they are taking root at a rapid pace. That's how you're doing right now, no doubt about it. Your heart cannot be deceived!
You have the intention of replacing the caliph, just look at your expression. It's just that this thought, you have always been buried in the depths of your heart, and you have never dared to touch it. Now that I've released it, how's that? Aren't you excited? Do you want to know what the reason I can help you think? ”
"Shut up! One more word, and I'll kill you. Yusuf's low roar was like that of an angry lion.
"Kill!" Li Deyu did not have the slightest fear on his face.
"You're ......!" The sword was handed forward an inch, and Yusuf could no longer stab.
"Dangchang!" The sword fell on the marble table with a crisp sound.
Yusuf sat down limply on the ground, grabbed the bottle of grape wine and took a big sip.
"Say it!" The blood-red grape wine made Yusuf's heart even more restless. Thoughts that have never dared to be touched, grow like weeds in my heart.
"I have a little friend, his name is Heru. His other identity is that of the king of the Turks!
You know, the Turks were hunted down by the Tang people very badly. Now I can only survive in the Kipchak steppe, where it is too cold. Heru and his people want to cling to a powerful master. They wanted someone to give them more abundant pastures, and I think the pastures of the Slavs are good. It's not fair that they have so few people and yet occupy such a large space. ”
"The Turk you spoke of ......!"
"Heru!"
"Heru! Can he be trusted? Yusuf asked hesitantly.
"He has no other choice, the Turks want to live, they want to live better, they can only choose to follow you, my Lord Governor." Li Deyu said with a smile.
"But I am the governor of the East, how can I march westward. The caliph will not agree! ”
"Halsey is an idiot because of the Caliph's brothers. As long as we give Heru some help, Heru can easily defeat him. When the time comes, as the most warlike general in the Empire. You have just defeated the Tang people, and your reputation is sky-high, so you will naturally become the commander of the crusade. As long as you lead the army and follow Heru, then Constantinople will be in your pocket.
The Imam will find a religious reason to make you a caliph as well. When the time comes, you have an army in your hands and have captured Constantinople, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. And, seized the wealth that the Byzantines had collected for many years. Even if the Caliph wants to eat you, what can he do?
Fight you with soldiers? Hehe! The Tang State has already made the Great Food Coastal Beacon Smoke burst, where does he have the army and money to attack you. Leave him to the Tang people, I believe that the Tang people will cut off every piece of fat on his body. The death of the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, they will be counted on the head of the big cannibal, not on your head. Constantinople was too far away, and it was really beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty. ”
