Liu Mu said that Datang was only to ensure the safety of the Red Sea route.

"Yes." Heraclius reassured when he heard Willow say this.

Liu Mu asked very seriously: "Your Majesty the Emperor, have you ever thought about a question, if the Saracen Kingdom of Arabia disappears, then what will happen to Rome and the Sasanid Kingdom?" ”

When Heraclius heard this question, he originally wanted to answer that the two countries had fought for two hundred years and had fought to the point where they could no longer fight, and it was impossible for them to start a war again because of the disappearance of Saracen.

But when I think about it, this is ridiculous.

If you have gained a lot of wealth because of the war, and you can expand your power, there will be no friends in this world, and anyone can become an enemy.

Liu Mu asked again: "What about you, Your Majesty the Great Roman Emperor, do you want to restore the style of Rome in the past?" ”

The previous question, Heraclius, may still be thinking about it, but it hit him right in the underbelly.

Rome!

The Great Roman Empire.

Heraclius was tempted that there could be nothing greater than the restoration of the glory of the Roman Empire.

Heraclius immediately ordered a Persian envoy to be summoned, and he was ready to further deepen cooperation with Persia in order to restore the former glory of the Persian Sassanid Empire and the glory of the Roman Empire.

Yanagi didn't participate in the negotiations, he just knew what was being negotiated every day.

Jiang Ke told Liu Mu: "Horses, the Persians have lost their enterprising spirit, they have fought with Rome for more than 200 years, and they are already very weak, and the people of the Sassanid kingdom have begun to resent war. ”

"That's because they didn't see any benefit in the war, and there was no urgency. All I need is for them to attack Saracen with all their might and leave plenty of room for us to raid. And then they are willing to spend money to buy the land we occupy, those places full of deserts, do you think it works? ”

Jiang Ke smiled and nodded: "Of course, compared to Spice Bay, the desert is not very attractive. ”

"Go, give me a plan. I heard that in Tripoli, North Africa, the slaves were very violent. The Roman Emperor wanted to cooperate with us and give some benefit to those slaves, even if it didn't matter if they became commoners, he didn't want to lose that time. In addition, the Egyptian slaves wanted even half of the rights of the Djiboutian slaves, and they were willing to work harder. ”

"The subordinates will deal with it."

"If the slaves are pressed too hard, there may not be real gains. Also, the pope seemed to be shouting for the emancipation of the slaves, hoping to raise his voice and suppress the Roman Empire. What he didn't know was that the current Roman Empire had been Hellenized, and a new religion would replace the old one. ”

Jiang Ke proposed on the side: "Donkey, why don't we help Eastern Rome take back the ancient Roman city?" ”

"His mind is on the eastern side of the Mediterranean, and it's going to take a process."

"I'll deal with the slaves first." Jiang Ke bowed and stepped back.

With the arrival of Dugu Shura's East China Sea Fleet, the desert storm plan studied by the Tang generals has also been completed.

Heraclius personally attacked the subjects and provinces that had been occupied by Saracen, and the Persians began to organize a counterattack as much as possible.

Just as the Saracen kingdom was preparing for all-out war.

The port of Jiga was attacked, and after half a day, the city of the Quraisi nobles was surrounded.

All kinds of catapults, arrow towers, siege engines began to appear outside the city.

Urgent letters after letters were sent to the capital of the Saracen Kingdom, which sent the King's Guard to the rescue.

Only two days later, the first troops from the south to come to the rescue were all besieged.

Four days later, all the ports of Saracen in the Red Sea were captured, and then the city of Sana was also heavily besieged.

King Saracen was messy in an instant, and he realized that it was a conspiracy.

Just as he was about to retreat back to the royal city, countless crossbow bolts flew towards his legion, and hoplites surrounded his 80,000 light cavalry on all sides.

Li Daozong bit a pipe and pulled the horse to the front of the battle: "I said, these guys who only have mutton in their heads know what it means to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and they ordered to go down, and the heavy cavalry will charge the enemy straight for me, and then prepare to persuade me to surrender." ”

Before Li Daozong's words fell, four horses rushed in front of him.

Li Daozong's eyes swept over the four generals, slowly drew out his saber, threw the saber to Khmelitz and said: "The military order is like a mountain, this battle can only be won and not defeated, and it is related to the dignity of the army. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, if I fail without you cutting off my head, my life will definitely burn on the way to attack."

"Drumming ......"

Li Daozong gave an order, and the whole army pressed up. But only the heavy cavalry of Khmelitz killed out.

"King Yan, I, our brother ......" Xue Rengui was anxious, he hadn't really led the cavalry to charge for a long time, but Li Daozong, his own family, even gave the opportunity to a slave general.

Li Daozong glanced at Xue Rengui and pointed with a horsewhip: "Don't you understand, they have always been slave soldiers when they surrendered, and if they want to become real soldiers, they need to go through the baptism of blood, and they can only be sublimated in the vicious battle." What I need in Datang is not a slave, but a real general, the saint has an order, where the sun shines, there is my Datang's iron horse, there is my Datang's banner, do you think we are people, how big is the world? ”

Xue Rengui bowed his head and was silent.

Li Junxian persuaded on the side: "I'll see the battle situation later, and I'll give you a chance to help." ”

Xue Rengui glanced in the direction of the battlefield and shook his head gently.

As Li Daozong said, this is an opportunity to sublimate in the sea of blood, Khmelitz fought for the honor of his family, the slave heavy cavalry fought for everything, they wanted to become the proud Tang heavy cavalry.

They want to have dignity, to have wealth, to have freedom.

20,000 heavy horses, like a bamboo, rushed all the way to kill.

Khmelits' troops forgot to use steel crossbows, and after stabbing with spears, they took up their long knives or charged with horizontal knives in their hands.

When King Saracen's head was picked up by Khmelitz on the flagpole, Li Daozong turned his horse's head: "Order, those who do not surrender will be killed." Then go to the Saracen palace to see if there are any decent treasures, my wife rarely accompanies me to go to sea so far, I need to prepare a decent gift. ”

"Kill!" Li Junxian and the others shouted, countless Tang troops killed the enemy, and more slave soldiers rushed up frantically.

Alexandria.

While sipping tea, Liu Mu, who was chatting with Oscar Badi's teacher, Patriarch Jemu, about the tea ceremony, knew the news when Li Daozong had lived in Saracen's palace for two days.

Li Daozong also sent someone to invite Liu Ruyu to come over and live in the Saracen Palace.
