Willow's bad attitude made the nobles of Gulaisi very dissatisfied.

At that moment, someone from the Ghulaisi family drew a knife, and before the knife could be raised, the knife was cut off along with his arm.

The person who was cut didn't even see who cut him, and everyone in the willow guards next to him still maintained their original posture, standing up straight, with one hand on the hilt of the knife.

"You can get out, and if you want to negotiate, let your master come."

The guests were driven away, and they vowed to repay the humiliation with their swords and willows.

The old wolf came in and asked, "They seem to be quite sincere." The gift list prepared and the contract are quite sincere. ”

Liu Mu spread his hands helplessly: "What can I do, our Yan King wants to build that canyon, there is a place that is barely a city, as early as more than a hundred years ago, it was run by the Gulaisi family, that is, they were defeated by the Arabs a few days ago, and the Gulaisi family switched to the Arabs." ”

The old wolf said he didn't understand: "What's so special about that canyon?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Yanagi called for a map: "There are two roads from the Mediterranean Sea to the sea on this side. One is the canal we are working on now, borrowing the Nile and the canal to the Red Sea. ”

"Yes." The old wolf nodded, he had walked the whole road and seen it with his own eyes.

"The other way is also more important, from the Persian Gulf through the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the Mediterranean. In fact, this is also the reason why the Eastern Romans fought to the death with the Persian Sassanid kingdom in the first place, and the wolf brother can be understood as the spice war, everything was caused by spices. ”

"It's for the money." The old wolf said he understood.

"Not exactly, spices are as important to Mediterranean people as salt," adds Yanagi. It's like we broke off the tea business on the grassland. ”

"Understand, this must be fought."

"Well, the Red Sea was controlled by the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Persian Gulf was in the hands of the Sassanid Kingdom. Then at sea, it was the power of the Arab Saracen kingdom that rushed at these silks in our hands, and they would fight to the death, until they killed one or two families. It's all for the silver. ”

The old wolf said that he could understand that the Xiongnu and the Turks, what they kept going south to, whether it was slaves, grain, salt, etc., could be attributed to silver in Liumu's explanation.

Liu Mu said again: "I transferred Dugu Shura's East China Sea Fleet. ”

"Why?" The old wolf exclaimed.

In the old wolf's heart, the Three Thousand Divine Guards are regarded as a powerful individual corps in Datang, that is, a strong army at the tactical level.

The East China Sea Fleet is different, and in terms of the positioning of the military department, the East China Sea Fleet belongs to a strategic-level force.

Before the old wolf came, he had already seen the new battleships of the East China Sea Fleet, in the words of the craftsmen, it was already the ultimate wooden sailing ship for combat, and the artillery could be equipped with a maximum of one hundred and eight, and at the moment it was even according to the light configuration, forty-eight guns were twenty on one side, four in the front and four in the front.

It is a single side of twenty cannons placed in a certain port, as long as a pillar of incense can destroy that port.

Liu Mu grinned: "This is not to blame King Yan. ”

"It's him again, you better just say why!"

The old wolf heard it, Li Daozong only said attacking, and Liu Mu said occupying. These are two different strategic significance.

This will take Li Daozong again, and the old wolf will definitely not believe it.

"When the Arabs had no way to expand north, lost their trade routes, lost their access to wine, weapons, spices, and slaves, they had only one choice, to go to sea and go south," Yanagi said. What we control now, such as Mogadishu and Spice Bay, will become fat in their eyes. ”

The old wolf asked rhetorically: "Is this not fat meat in the eyes of the Romans and Persians?" ”

"I only said that I was an ally with them, and I did not say that I was friends with them, let alone that I was not enemies with them. All those who stand in my way from digging up money are all enemies. ”

"I agree." The old wolf couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he felt more and more that the willow wood was excellent.

When I was in Sanyuan County, Chang'an, I felt that the willow wood was like a gas bag.

But one left the land of the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Mu's fangs were extremely sharp, and he could bite the enemy every time.

Yanagi was about to brag a few words when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside the door, followed by a sharp drum beat. Hearing this voice, Liu Mu and the old wolf's faces changed greatly, which was a signal for Datang to urgently gather soldiers when he encountered the enemy.

A quarter of an hour later, Willow, Old Wolf, Khmelits, and several slave generals were standing in front of the munitions storehouse.

Soldier fights weren't a big deal, but the language barrier escalated the trouble.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Yanagi asked a slave soldier with a bloody face first.

"I said, I want that set of armor, but he can only do this set of me, I argued a few words, I couldn't understand what he was saying, my first punch."

This slave soldier made Liu Mu like it, and he didn't shirk his responsibility, and the punishment for doing it first was extremely heavy.

Yanagi motioned for both sets of armor to be brought over.

The armor issued to this soldier is the armor that has been repaired and added a supplementary Xuanjia military armor, if it were not for the appearance of willow wood, this kind of armor is the best armor in the Tang Dynasty, and the production cost is higher than that of Mingguang armor.

Another set of armor is the export of wild goose feather armor.

"Understood, this time the matter is handled as follows. General Khmelits' subordinates could choose ten people, and the logistics team could also choose ten people, with a short stick on each side, until all of them fell to the ground and could not stop, the whole team of the fallen side was responsible for apologizing, and the whole team of the standing side carried the weight of 30 miles of cross-country running. ”

Yanagiki's explanation made all the soldiers a little confused.

At this time, Liu Mu said to the soldiers of the logistics battalion in Chinese: "Their custom is that black is unlucky, and red is the color of the soldiers, and that's it." According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, respect the customs and habits of all ethnic groups and families, those who do not know have no fault, and those who know have been. ”

Liu Mu said to the slave soldiers in Greek: "This black armor used to be worn by the best soldiers of my Tang Emperor, black represents water, and it is also the color of the armor of the Qin army in ancient times." According to my Tang law, we respect the customs and habits of all ethnic groups and families, and those who do not know are not at fault, and those who know have been. ”

"Now, you go and fight, and I will give you twenty jars of good wine in private."

The old wolf secretly gave Liu Mu a thumbs up.

Khmelits bowed slightly to Yanagi with his own etiquette.

"Bet, one to one." The old wolf's shout attracted countless people to run.

The slave soldiers came from all ethnic groups, and the cavalry of Khmelitz was divided into three battalions, namely the Slavic Cossack cavalry, the Dacian cavalry, and the Persian cavalry.

The Dacians originally belonged to Rome, but after the fall of Western Rome, they were annexed by the Avars and began to go to war with the Avars against Eastern Rome.
