Chapter 735 The cannibal is afraid of the Tang Empire
"All the lobbyists they sent were killed by the Ottomans,"
"They must also know that the Ottomans were defeated in Shifila and lost more than 10,000 elites,"
"What are these people still dawdling about?"
Su Chen stopped writing and looked at Elsa: "Aren't you quite smart?
you still need to ask?"
"They are just like Heraclius, waiting for both me and Osman to suffer losses."
Elsa shook her head: "Heraclius is the enemy of the Eclipse, so of course he hopes to reap the benefits,"
"How dare those wealthy nobles look at you like this?
Are they not afraid of you, Marshal, completely destroying Osman?
By then they themselves will be finished."
Su Chen smiled and said: "Of course they don't want to look at him like this, but what can they do against Osman?"
"And you can guess my purpose. Those wealthy nobles are also smart, and they probably guessed that I would not withdraw my troops until I beat Osman half to death."
"If they start an uprising now, it will only give me an advantage. These nobles will definitely not do it."
After a pause, Su Chen continued:
"Besides, who knows if there are other transactions between Osman and those nobles?"
Elsa admitted that the Dashi Noble might have guessed Su Chen’s purpose.
But Osman had a behind-the-scenes deal with the big-eating nobles who were against him, which she found a little difficult to understand.
"This Osman is very strange. It has been more than half a year since I attacked Medina, and there have been many battles, big and small, but he has never sent an official, envoy or anything to communicate with the Tang army."
Elsa frowned: "This is indeed strange, but Marshal, you can't use this to suspect that Osman has an affair with the food nobles who oppose him. The two seem to have nothing to do with each other."
Su Chen smiled: "It does not matter much, but the behavior of the big food nobles is also a bit strange."
"I had my doubts back in Medina,"
"I met so many Dashi ships and troops in the Strait of Malacca. Those fleets were more powerful than the fleet guarding Hormuz. They were obviously Dashi's main fleet, and they were obviously heading for the Tang Dynasty."
"Such a big military operation, normally most people with some status in Dashi should know about it,"
"But when I was in Medina, the nobles of Medina actually told me that they had no idea. How is this possible?"
"At that time, I suspected that the nobles should be involved in various plans against the Tang Dynasty,"
"But I don't admit it now. I want to blame it all on Osman and the prime minister named Mutarif."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote to say that those wealthy nobles still say that they have no knowledge of the things that harmed the Tang Dynasty."
"Coupled with Osman's strange behavior,"
"I guess it's not as simple as the big food nobles being stubborn. They should have any deal with Osman and ask Osman to tell them the truth."
Elsa thought about it carefully, then waved her hand: "Commander, there is no need to doubt that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty must have been involved,"
"I don't know any military purpose, but with the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, those greedy food-eating nobles cannot remain indifferent."
Su Chen spread his hands: "That's it!"
"I guess those big food nobles are in trouble now,"
"They want Osman to quickly agree to the terms of a truce with the Tang Dynasty in order to preserve the strength of the country,"
"I'm also worried that I won't let go of Dashi easily no matter what,"
"I'm also worried that Osman will expose their involvement in harming the Tang Dynasty."
Elsa's eyes lit up after hearing this: "I will return to Basra tomorrow!"
"Tell those greedy food aristocrats, Marshal, that you already know what they are secretly doing to harm the Tang Dynasty,"
"If they don't show their performance, after the general has finished dealing with Osman, he will turn around and deal with them."
"Commander, how about letting me show off my power to you?"
Su Chen frowned: "You'd better not cause any trouble,"
"You are easily self-defeating. If those nobles get anxious and work together to help Osman, they will be in trouble."
Not long after the Dashi Peninsula was unified, the strength of the tribal chiefs was still considerable. If they worked together to deal with the Tang Dynasty, they could muster a lot of troops.
Elsa smiled and said: "Don't worry, Commander, those greedy nobles are not so bold!"
Su Chen shook his head: "You said they are greedy. Greed can also make people forget fear."
"Besides, those people are also smart. They can definitely see that the army cannot stay here for much longer. If they try to drag out the war, we will be passive."
Elsa looked at Su Chen and chuckled: "Commander, you still say that I am stupid!"
"You yourself are confused sometimes!"
Su Chen glared at Elsa: "When did I say you were stupid?"
"What did I do?"
Elsa smiled proudly: "Commander, the cannibal can indeed predict that Tang Jun is eager to go home now,"
"It can also be seen that the Tang Dynasty had few soldiers and was afraid of losses."
"However, the big cannibal has long been frightened by the terrifying combat power of the Tang army and is trembling all over!"
"Not only are they afraid of the troops you have in your hands, Commander, but they are also afraid that the Tang Dynasty will send another large army over!"
"So, those greedy nobles don't dare to act rashly."
Su Chen was stunned. Thinking about it, this is really the situation.
What the wealthy nobles fear is not the few soldiers and horses in their hands. They can consume all the thousands of people they have with their lives.
What they fear is the Tang Empire!
Su Chen looked at Elsa who was smiling like a flower, reached out and picked up an ice cube and put it on her forehead!
I have been focusing on the military recently, and I have forgotten such an obvious truth.
Li Chengqian is also a fool, he doesn’t even know how to write a letter to remind him!
"Commander, can you let me go back and scare those big food nobles?"
Su Chen didn't want to deal with the proud Elsa.
"Since the commander-in-chief agrees, I will leave early tomorrow morning!"
Elsa walked out happily.
"stop!"
"Let me tell you honestly first, what other purposes do you have?"
Elsa turned around and said angrily: "Commander, you can't doubt me in everything like this. I have worked hard these past few months and devoted myself to the commander, and you still..."
Su Chen said hurriedly: "Okay! I don't doubt you!"
"Then you have to tell me, why are you so eager for the cannibal to elect that Zubair as king?"
"Although this is of great benefit to the current situation, I always feel that you have a personal grudge in it."
Elsa sat on the chair opposite Su Chen and glared at Su Chen: "Commander, aren't you doubting me?"
"Then do you want to say it?
You are not allowed to go anywhere unless you tell me, I will let that Li Qi watch you, he hates you now!"
Elsa said aggrievedly: "What personal grudges can I have with them?"
