Chapter 278 Throwing the Axe Shatt al-Arab
Of course, the situation is not as critical as Pei Xingjian said. The large food and grass seized by Avashi have been brought by the army. Even if Avashi is lost, it can still be brought back, which is nothing.
Isfahan hoarded a large number of food and grass from the expeditionary army, but there were Gongzi Luo in charge, but there were tens of thousands of reserves for escorting food and grass.
The walls of Isfahan are strong, and for the defenders, as long as there are reinforcements outside, there is no problem with the reserve guarding the city.
Muaweiye is neither like Xiaoshuai, with Kangrif rocket launcher, nor is it possible for the Persians in Isfahan City to be his inner support. Mr. Luo is still very confident in defending Isfahan for a period of time.
Of course, if you ignore it, it is hard to say that you are besieged by the cannibal for a long time. Therefore, the army must return to fight against Muaweiye.
Pei Xingjian immediately beat the drum and raised his tent, and sent Bantian Yun to lead his troops to the mountain infantry to help Awashi, trying to enter the city before the cannibals were captured. With the regular army in charge, Awashi was much safer.
At the same time, Hu Weiyong led his three thousand cavalrymen, Pei Yuan led his three thousand magic weapons, and then brought 10,000 horse-riding infantrymen, followed closely behind the clouds in the long day of the clouds to reinforce Avas.
When these two reinforcements were sent out, Pei Xingjian relaxed and prepared to lead the main force and carry the baggage to march normally behind the two reinforcements. If Avas could save him, he would have the confidence to win when the main force arrived and fight Muaweiye in field.
If Avas falls, you have to deal with Muaweiye in Avas. Although you can win in the end, it may be delayed for a long time.
Seeing that Shao Shude was also preparing to go back and raise an army to follow the army, Xiaoshuai patted his head and stopped him.
"Fourth brother, although Avas is in danger, Marshal Pei has sent reinforcements. Whether Avas is lost or not, we have already had a solution to deal with it.
You were right when we discussed it just now. Ali is in a mess now. I think that guy is still very capable. If he allows him to easily return to Taixi to seal off the troops and strengthen his rule, he will be our biggest concern in the future.
Taking advantage of Ali's weakness now, chasing is the right way. I don't know if I'm right."
Xiaoshuai looked at Pei Xingjian and Chen Cheng, both of whom nodded. Chen Cheng quickly flattered, "The lord has always been humble and said he doesn't understand war. Now, looking at his lord's analysis, he is also a famous general."
Xiaoshuai quickly shook his head, "Don't fool me, I have a sense of self-knowledge. This is all just what you said. Since we have many soldiers, we might as well divide the troops into two groups to attack Ali and Muaweiye respectively. Do you think it's okay?"
Pei Xingjian closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "Okay. But the subordinates of Shao Dudu are now incomplete, with only 35,000 Daxia defenders.
We are already planning to send him to follow Ottoman to Medina. Xu Hao's army envoy just captured Shiraz, but he was sent back to take over Guan Kairun to guard Fubo Port.
If the two generals are missing under the command of Shao Dudu, the troops will not be as strong as Ali. In this way, I will send 30,000 Persian Volunteers to assist Shao Dudu, and temporarily return to Shao Dudu command. When Shao Dudufu pacified Ali in the future, I will send them back.
The remaining troops and horses are enough to deal with Muaweiye."
Shao Shude clasped his fists at Pei Xingjian, "Thank you for your favor, Shao will go now."
Xiaoshuai thought for a while, "Although the Persian Volunteers are large enough, their combat effectiveness is not good. Of course, the Fourth Brother's troops are the fixed-pan star, so it is still good for them to fight with the wind.
Fourth brother, you should train them hard in the future and let them become successful as soon as possible.
At present, I think the Fourth Brother is still a bit weak on the road and lacks advanced weapons. In this way, I will send you the Walter’s Two Thousand Musket Team.”
Pei Xingjian had just been promoted to the tent and gathered generals. Except for the half-day Yun and Pei Yuan who set off immediately, Hu Weiyong was still there.
Xiaoshuai called Wall, Bai Qiwen and Gordon. "Wall, I'll send you to the Fourth Brother and he's dispatched you. I'll obey the Fourth Brother's command, and what he said is the same as what I said."
He looked at Bai Qiwen and Gordon again, "You three must cooperate sincerely and show the majesty of our Muskets."
The three of them stood at attention together and saluted the military with their hands and chests.
Shao Shude's Daxia Guardian was equipped with grenades and explosive packs, but Xiao Shuai's two advanced weapons, muskets and artillery, in the Dayuezhi army, were firmly controlled by Xiao Shuai.
At this moment, seeing Xiaoshuai even sent the musket team he trained to him, Shao Shude was very moved, and his fifth brother was obviously sincere to him.
He has always been a silent and serious person, and he can't say anything stingy at this moment. He just held Xiaoshuai's hand with both hands, and was full of love for a moment.
Xiaoshuai pulled Shao Shude and came to the Arab River next to the military camp. He asked Mura to ask his guards for an axe, raised his hand and threw it into the Arab River.
Everyone didn't understand what Xiaoshuai meant. Xiaoshuai stared at Shao Shude's eyes, "Fourth brother, it will be difficult for us to see each other again when we were closed. I really imagine that I often asked some brothers to drink when I was in Tiemen.
But I know that Fourth Brother, you are a person with great ambitions and cannot always be by my side.
The territory of the Great Yuezhi will be at the Arab River, until I throw the axe. When the Fourth Brother takes the Taixi Feng, I will report to the court and recommend you as the governor of Tiaozhi. The vast land south of the Arab River will be handed over to the Fourth Brother.
Although the Ottoman Sultanate of the Great Food Kingdom was sanctioned by the Great Yuezhi, when we discussed it, I suggested sending Guan Kai Run to Medina, which means giving the Great Food to the Fourth Brother.
After their tribute, they supported the Fourth Brother, and the servants sent were also dispatched by the Fourth Brother. Also, except for the land on the south bank of the Persian Gulf, I promised Ottoman and Mama Zhao, the rest of the rest must be directly under the jurisdiction.
That piece of land is almost floating on oil, and in the near future, you can make you rich in the world."
Xiaoshuai took out a map of West Asia from his arms, and drew a red line on it, which was basically the dividing line between modern and Iran. However, the Persian side, including Armenia, was larger than modern times, and Armenia at this time also included the vast territory around Erzurum.
"The territory of the Persian Governor's Office ends with the Red Line. The plains south of the south are all your future territory.
There is oil and a fertile land in the Two Rivers Basin. With your skills and strategies, this is the foundation of kings and dominance. When we part here, we will lead our army across the Arab River. From now on, the sky is high and birds fly. I am waiting for a day to travel side by side with the Fourth Brother.”
These words were already said by Xiaoshuai and Shao Shude when they were talking at the Bamiyang military camp at night. Now that the army is in hand, it is almost coming true.
Shao Shude neither belittles himself nor does he want to be humble and humble. A man with a heart-wrenching mind in his eyes is rare in his eyes.
"Fifth brother, your friendship has always been unhappy since the iron gate. Fifth brother, you treat someone like this, and I vow here to be the last life of Shao, and I will not be enemies with my fifth brother. We brothers will conquer this vast world together."
Then the two of them spoke in unison, "Let the sun never set in the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
The two of them stretched out their right hands and hit their palms together.
