Chapter 0680. Traitor Hou Jie

In the morning, under the vigilant gaze of the officers and men of the Tang Army, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the smoke and dust like a tornado still appeared directly south of the Tang Army camp. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

Yellow clouds covered the horizon, and this time the Arabs charged far less neatly than the elite Arab army of the Parisian steppes last time, and even the strikers could see that there were horses and camels, but the intimidating momentum under the rumbling iron hooves seemed to be superior.

About two miles away from the Tang army, the army stopped, and immediately beat its weapons and shields, and let out a cry like a landslide.

This army numbered nearly half a million people, Mecca, Medina, Hejaz, Najd, the birthplace of Islam, the Bedouin tribes in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula, almost all the Bedouin tribes who could wield knives and guns were mobilized, and even this army was mixed with Egyptians, Islamized Ethiopians, and Nubian blacks.

It seems that the entire nation of the Arabian Peninsula has risen up against the Tang army.

Li Jie's worst fear in Kufa came true, the Arabs were really not so easy to conquer!

Since the time of Muhammad, under the green banner of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad united the Arabs under one banner for the first time, regardless of nobles and commoners, regardless of blood enemies, but the impetus for the Arabs to begin their vigorous expansion in 87 years, expanding into a vast empire across Europe, Asia and Africa, supported not only the spread of Islam.

The harsh environment of the Arabian Peninsula is forced!

Half of the vast peninsula is desert, one-third of the land is a flowless area, there is not a single river, the remaining land is particularly arid and barren, and Yemen, which is rarely richer, is still in ruins under the bloody war between Ethiopia supported by Byzantium and the Arab puppet dynasty supported by Persia.

Now that the civil war has stopped, the Arabs must swing their swords to the outside world in order not to starve to death.

Now the arrival of the Tang army has made the situation in the Arabian Peninsula seem to be similar to more than 70 years ago, after a long period of great expansion, the number of Arabs who enjoy the rich booty of the Persian and Byzantine nations has tripled, but like the Tang people, the Arabs are also a stubborn and conservative people, most Arabs still live in the Arabian Peninsula, and only less than a million Arab lower tribes and Arab nobles have migrated to occupy land and occupy the border in the newly conquered lands.

The world is so cruel, one group of people is rich, another group of people are going to starve, Min conquered Khorasan, the imported food there was cut off, Min took Mesopotamia, Oman and Yemen's food foreign aid was completely wiped out, and the poll tax paid tribute to the Arabs in the old Persian land, and all kinds of luxuries were also swept away.

However, it was Mu'awiyah himself who drove the Arabs into a corner, and he thought very well, using foreign aid from Fujian to strengthen his position, intercepting grain from Syria and Egypt, and making hunger force the poor self-righteous relatives in the desert to recognize their caliphate position, but he did not want to, which was completely counterproductive.

Within a few months, hunger forced Shiites to reach a compromise with Sunni and other sects, and the Arab Elders led by Rabul and Jabr traveled almost all over the Arabian Peninsula, and the great unity that had not existed even in the time of Muhammad was in front of Fujian.

The tragedy of cannibalism is still in the oral memory of the elderly, and millions of Arabs have to fight for survival!

This force, even Li Jie, who came from modern times, changed color when he heard it, and led his ministers to the towering viewing platform and looked at the dusty Arab army, and his face was pale until now.

At the same time as receiving the news of the approaching Arab army in the morning, Li Jie also received another desperate news, it was not that the messenger from Kufa City had arrived, and the messenger sent by Li Jingye finally did not know where it had turned into a ball of white bones, and the battle report came directly from behind, and Seleucia, the city from which the Fujian army set off, was lost.

It is equivalent to the loss of all in the rear! Now that there are strong enemies in front and pursuers behind them, the most elite Fujian army brought out by Li Jie has become a completely lone army, and is pinned down in the narrow triangle of Jerusalem by the Arabs of Byzantium, south and north.

What a real desperate situation!

This news has not yet been reported to the whole army, otherwise, Li Jie suspects that even the Tang Army of Fujian that he built will collapse the whole army.

Unable to advance or retreat, the upper echelons of the united Fujian State couldn't help but blame each other and complain.

"It's all this group of Guan Zhong grandmothers, and it's definitely Li Jingye who harbors evil intentions! Indulge the Arabs to enter the pass, otherwise, with 80,000 elite soldiers and Kufa Xiongguan, how can the Arabs break through the pass so easily and invade the back of our army! ”

"Enough, Xue Qing, don't spray people with blood, the situation in the rear is unknown, the King of Min has not spoken, why should you give the important ministers of the court and the military department without authorization, do you want to rebel?"

"Lao Tzu is just talking about things, when Lao Tzu followed His Highness to fight the world, you old miscellaneous hair was still holding your grandson in Guanzhong!"

Xue Qing and Dugu Zhen, who had the loudest voices, took the lead in arguing, surrounding the two of them, and the rest of the ministers were also following the quarrel and persuading, making a mess The heroes who had been following Li Jie were unhappy to see those Guan Longhe Shuo who jumped up after Li Jie pacified Tianzhu, and Jiang Zuo and the Central Plains have always had differences, and for a while, the three parties blamed each other and became a mess.

"Enough!"

His face was pale, and Li Jie's angry roar made the ministers can't help but be silent, after all, this world was led by Li Jie to defeat them, even at this time, no one dared to ignore the anger of King Min.

Seeing that the ministers were suppressed, Li Jie's face looked a little better, he turned around and waved his hand at the rolling Arab army, Li Jie shouted bitterly: "We are a whole, we are all Tang people, now is not the time to hold accountable, how to stand out, one loss and one glory!"

"Your Highness!"

Just when Li Jie was trying to appease his team, Leng Bu Di Huaiying rolled up his sleeves and pointed back, turned around in shock, Li Jie's eyes immediately straightened, I don't know when, the surging Bedouin tide was like the sea that was divided into two pieces, and dozens of Arabs riding white turbans and white robes arrived in front in the salute of hundreds of thousands of desert warriors.

hurriedly pulled out the binoculars, and before Li Jie could see it clearly, Yao Geluo beside him had already roared angrily: "It's Hou Jie, it's Hou Jie, this bastard, traitor!" He betrayed us! ”

"Traitor!"

"The boy of the Hou family, his father Hou Junji is a traitor, and the Hou family is not credible!"

Li Jie's brows were also wrinkled when he heard the angry roar, and Hou Jie, who had a long beard and was also dressed in a white robe, immediately came into view, and a lot of doubts immediately rose in Li Jie's heart.

"Your Highness, hurry up and mobilize heavy artillery bed crossbows to shoot this teasing, he knows our army too well, once he speaks, it is easy to defeat the morale of our army!" Dugu on the side was so anxious that his old face turned red, and he shouted anxiously, but Li Jie waved his hand violently.

"No, let him come closer, let him speak! Lone wants to see what he's up to. ”

In the stunned, the ministers fell silent, around this, Wang Fangyi still waved his hand downward slightly, and the henchman captain on the side immediately got off the viewing platform, and after a while, the bed crossbow that was originally placed in front of the camp, the artillery still deflected the direction.

It seemed to enjoy the feeling of admiration of the ten thousand armies, leading a dozen or so riders, Hou Jie walked very slowly, and walked for more than ten minutes under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people in the two armies before he walked to the front of the Fujian Yankuai camp, looking at Li Jie, and the slow rules were interpreted by him to the extreme, first raised his hand to thank Allah for a long time, and then pointed to the command platform of the Fujian State and shouted.

"King Min! Surrender! No one can escape the sanctions of Allah! ”

"God's people, from Yemen in the Persian Gulf to Berbers at the tip of Africa, have 1.2 million people standing up to fight against the Min Kingdom, 250,000 people in Yemen in the east, Mecca in the middle, 500,000 people in the Hejaz, and countless Muslims are coming in the west, and you have no chance of winning."

"If you surrender and convert to Islam, the elders promise that you will be crowned as the ruler of the emir and fight for Allah, otherwise there will be no grass where the army passes!" Your souls will be tormented and tormented forever in Hellfire! ”

"Enlightenment!"

Pulling his throat, Hou Jie arrogantly shouted a large paragraph of Tang language, listening to the entire Fujian court is full of righteous indignation, fighting all over the world, when will it be the turn of the heroic Tang people to give alms to others, Xue Rengui, the general of the right thousand Niu Wei, was the first to give up his hand angrily: "Your Highness, let the ministers go!" When a pillar of incense is in time, the minister will take the head of this fang and return it to His Royal Highness! ”

"Minister, please order!"

"Let the minister go!"

Black Tooth Changzhi, Zanpo, Pei Xingjian, Dugumou, a large group of generals all knelt down to ask for battle, it is estimated that if it weren't for the identity, Wang Fangyi, who was eager to try, also asked for battle, but contrary to the norm, Li Jie seemed to hesitate, looked at the direction of Hou Jie and was stunned, and gestured with a hand to stop the ministers from asking for war.

"Your Highness!" Wang Fangyi shouted impatiently, but Li Jie just looked anxious and waved his hand: "Tell them that the Tang people will not surrender and prepare for battle." Immediately, he turned around and walked quickly off the command platform.

The King of Min has never been so out of shape, a group of civil and military officers of the Min Kingdom couldn't help but look at Li Jie's back in astonishment when they looked at this scene, and shook their heads helplessly, Wang Xuance gave an order instead of Li Jie.

"The generals of each battalion returned to the town and sent someone to tell the traitor that the Min Kingdom would fight to the death!"

"Whoa!"

agreed, with a stomach full of doubts, a group of civil and military officers still got off the command platform one after another, still holding binoculars, looking at Hou Jie Shi Ran turned around from the gap in the left third of the Arab army and returned to the town, Wang Xuance suddenly turned his head again, and glanced at Wang Fangyi.

"The former camp will ask the brother of the dispatch!" With an arch fist at Wang Xuance, Wang Fangyi turned his head and hurriedly rushed to the back camp to chase Li Jie to find out.

The sound of the earth-shattering horses' hooves sounded again, shouting Allah for protection, and countless Arabs pressed the army of Min like a yellow cloud.
