After only a few days in Antioch, the besieged trench had just been dug and the vigorous heart had been mobilized, and before the blood gathered in his heart burst out with the war, he had to march south for a long time, which made the heart of the entire huge Fujian army covered with a layer of suffocation.

Suddenly packed up the package and left the barracks that had only been built for a few days, and the passionate pledge meeting did not raise much interest, and the huge mobile country of Damin was like a relocated ant, rolling southward.

However, the only thing that can arouse some interest in the sergeant is that whether it is the Tianzhu Mansion soldiers, the Sixteen Wei Chang Army, or the Tubo, Turkic, Sogdian warriors and other troops transferred from the vassal tribes of the Great Min who are temporarily in the army, when they pass by the military camp of the Eastern Romans, they all spit with disdain.

The military salary standing army of Damin is about two to ten times a month, and the government soldiers are only consistent because they are tax-free fields for cultivating the country, and the subordinate * team is also consistent, enough to maintain food and clothing for a month and leave some small money, the biggest benefit of being a soldier is still to fight, not counting the wartime allowance, just like the military merit and other knight system during the Qin Dynasty, the lowest reward for killing the opponent's armor is worth every sergeant to fight for.

The Byzantines had a lot of armor, but in the eyes of the Min army, they were all armor, and the gold ingots of each activity were originally expected to make a big profit, and they surrendered without beating the Romans, so it is no wonder that the bloodthirsty Fujian army was so disappointed and looked down on these Romans.

Fortunately, there was also an Arab who could give the army of the Great Min a last chance to farm for gold coins, and the Five Route Army went south with the last hope like five earth dragons.

It's just that these warriors with the expectation of a better life don't know what kind of hard and cruel bloody battle they are about to be greeted by.

The huge trench blocked the entire eastern part of Antioch, and the merchants who had just been revived had to go through the north gate, but this huge trench could not be dismantled in a short time, because the Eastern Roman army still had a tail.

There are still dozens of ironclad palsads, more than 200 Constantinople legion infantry and more than 500 Slavs, the Visigothic guards surrounded Constantine IV or stubbornly refused to surrender, here is embarrassing, the Greeks who received the favor of the country, the Romans surrendered so quickly, only the Visigoths who were recruited into the guard by Constantine IV, but the Slavs finally insisted on this kindness.

In history, it is always this kind of rough and humble little people who can shed their last drop of blood for the country, but the big people in the temple full of loyalty and morality are the first to defect, which may be the sadness of history.

It's a pity that these people are loyal and righteous and now they are also the enemies of Damin, and the trench armies have been flanking, and the last time to surrender Constantine IV failed, and Li Jie has no time to spend with him.

"Keep an eye on this bastard, and then arrange for the surrendered Roman senator to return to Constantinople as soon as possible to control the political situation in Eastern Rome and completely control Constantinople, if this bastard surrenders, recruit him, if Constantinople is in the hands of Da Min, this stinky and hard pit stone will be useless! Just kill him! ”

The biggest failure in his life has Constantine's part, and this bastard keeps teasing himself one after another, teasing Da Min, Li Jie is itching with hatred, and he yelled viciously at Qin Huaiyang, who knelt on the ground on one knee to see him off.

Qin Huaiyang's relationship with himself is extraordinary, Qin Huaiyang is closer than ordinary elders in terms of the relationship between robbery and kinship, Li Jie doesn't mind revealing some sentences in front of him that are inconsistent with the identity of the Holy King of Min.

Listening to Li Jie's cruel words, Qin Huaiyang also obeyed the order and replied slightly, and replied categorically: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the end will be saved."

For Qin Huaiyang, Li Jie was quite relieved, and after nodding, surrounded by several guards, he finally climbed on the war horse, ready to merge into this large team rolling south.

But before Li Jie could take two steps, a hurried shout suddenly came from behind him: "Wait for me!"

Turning around in surprise, Li Jie turned around with a headache and turned around to welcome back, rubbing the imperial helmet carved with exquisite dragon patterns in the vigilant support of the guards.

"Why are you here?"

"The concubine has said that she will be a little woman with a man behind her back in the future, if you leave, who will support the concubine?" Carrying a small burden, her little face was bumpy and red from the speed of riding, and she didn't care about her sweaty uncle Amulie behind her, Anna said confidently.

To tell the truth, Li Jie really hopes that this girl can show the shrewdness and political fanaticism when he first met, and now Da Min needs an Eastern Roman royal family to take over Constantinople in the name of justice, and Anna's departure is obviously not good for Da Min.

But on the other hand, that man didn't want his woman to be completely dependent on him, and Li Jie also saw that the showdown with Constantine IV again stimulated Anna a lot, and letting her go through Constantinople by herself might make her even more sad.

Women generally have two extremes when they have no support, such as Liu Ruyi, Qian Yiqian was forced by the Qian family to commit suicide as soon as he died, such as Wu Zetian, Li Zhi had no support after his death, so he made himself a dependent, and since then the strong woman who has controlled the Tang Empire is another category, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, just for a moment, Li Jie waved his hand helplessly, and turned the horse's head and walked forward.

"Don't blame me if you go and endure hardship!"

The smile of victory was revealed on the red fluttering little face, but Anna did not follow at the first time, but instead circled around Qin Huaiyang, who had not left, with the jujube red horse.

"General Qin, my brother Constantine, the concubine knows him too well, he is a poisonous snake, never underestimate him at any time, you must not give him a chance to breathe! Remember! ”

After a word of advice, his legs slammed into the horse's belly, and Anna's red horse galloped out like the wind, and Amulie, who had just taken a breath behind him, whined again, and followed the queue in a panic with his horse.

When King Min's forbidden army cavalry completely left sight, Qin Huaiyang got up from the dusty avenue, but he glanced back at the few Byzantine military tents that were still alone in the trench, but Qin Huaiyang smiled quite contemptuously, shook his head and sighed.

"A woman is a woman, always so sensitive and fragile, the Roman emperor, the dry bones in the grave, what else is there to turn over?."

Completely forgetting that he was also trained by Li Xueyan to kneel and dare not sit, with the mission given by Li Jie, after climbing the war horse, Qin Huaiyang himself also galloped towards Antioch heartily.

…………

Syria, a region with a history almost as ancient as China, from more than 3,000 years BC, there are ancients living here, and later the Hittites and Assyrians who fought with the ancient Egyptian dynasty have made this home, and later after Alexander the Great's expedition to the east, his general Seleucus was based on this place, and established the Seleucid Empire that lasted for nearly 300 years and spanned Europe, Asia and Africa.

During the Roman Empire, it was the main tax province of the empire, and the wealth and wheat of the East were continuously transported to Constantinople, enriching the pockets and bellies of the emperor and nobles.

However, wealth and beauty are sometimes a disaster, in the disturbances of history, countless nationalities and civilizations have fought bloodily for this fertile land, even in the year or two before Li Jie's crossing, Syria was a war, but this time and space, presented in front of Damin, is the lowest period in Syria for more than 3,000 years.

The date palm groves dried up and died, the large farms left by the Romans and Greeks were also dilapidated to overgrown with weeds, with this variable of the Great Min, the Arab expansion war became more cruel, in order to raise military funds, the construction of the Damascus Palace, the exploitation of the Arab Empire was much heavier than in history, the process of slow Islamization was also countless times slower, agriculture was almost destroyed, industry and commerce were also lost, the original oasis towns were abandoned, became monuments, and there were bleak scenery everywhere.

However, the Great Min can't take into account the destruction here at present, and the only question in front of the Min army, where are the Arabs?

The Fifth Route Army was like a huge slap, from the north, east, and south, and screwed fiercely into the heart of the Arab Empire, Damascus, but it had entered Syria for more than three consecutive days, and the fierce resistance encountered as expected not only did not appear, but along the way, not even the shadow of the Arabs was seen, and none of the settled Arab clans were found like the disappeared Mayans.

Some of them were only a small number of native Syrian residents, and they were all yellow and thin, almost with a numb look to welcome the arrival of the Fujian army, and the generals of various departments inquired from them, but they did not inquire about the fixed information.

Just one thing to know, in July, when the Roman army rushed to Edessa to defend Damin with the Arab army, the Arab tribes in Syria had taken the last bit of food and began to slowly retreat from the settlements where they had lived for decades in an orderly manner.

As many as 200,000 Arab troops disappeared into the field of vision of the Fujian army out of thin air, staring at the map, Li Jie's brows were almost twisted into walnuts.

"Your Majesty, why don't you suspend the operation and wait for the scouts to find out Hussein's specific location and make an operation?"

The always cautious old Li Ji persuaded worriedly, but at this time, Li Jie couldn't listen to it at all, and only the vast map of Syria in his eyes was vicious, and Li Jie's finger was pressed on a point.

"Here, the widows don't believe in the Arabs, and they even give up here!"

That point that occupies a small shadow on the map, Damascus!
