Chapter 752 It's Time to Clean Up Those Aristocrats
Chapter 752 It’s time to deal with those nobles
Li Chengqian wrote to Su Chen: Osman had sent his cousin Muvisa to negotiate with him the conditions for the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal.
Su Chen calculated the time and found that when Osman sent people to Basra for peace talks, it was exactly the time when he was bombing the city of Shira continuously.
It turned out that Osman had already made plans, and later went upstream to build a pontoon bridge, deliberately luring Su Chen in order to take advantage before the peace talks ended.
Su sneered and said: "Osman certainly didn't expect us to take the city of Shira so easily so quickly!"
"He would never have expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would not accept his tricks at all and would leave the negotiation with him in my hands again!"
Everyone was talking: "I thought Osman was going to fight to the death! It turns out that he had secretly sent someone to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Commander, this old guy is fighting us endlessly while sending people to Basra for peace talks. He has ulterior motives!"
"That's right, you, the commander-in-chief of the army, must know something about this kind of thing."
"Commander, since His Highness has left the peace talks to you, you can't take advantage of this old Osman."
Su Chen said: "Definitely, I will never spare this old guy."
"I will reply to His Highness right now and ask him for two officials from Honglu Temple to come and help. When it comes to deceiving people, those guys are the most professional."
Everyone nodded after hearing this: The commander is still thoughtful!
This not only makes the guys at Honglu Temple professional, but also allows them to seek the opinions of His Highness the Crown Prince.
If His Highness sends those guys here, he will definitely tell them what he stands for.
After Su Chen finished speaking, he smiled and said, "By the way, we can't be idle during this waiting period."
"The people of Rahm are still fighting fiercely against the cannibals under the city of Kufa,"
"Which of you would like to go to Kufa?
Help Rahm warm up."
When everyone heard about going to Kufa, most of them had no interest.
Marching on a hot day is not a good job. We have worked hard all summer, so why not rest by the river for a few more days?
In the end, everyone guessed, and the unlucky Xue Rengui took the job.
Su Chen gave him a thousand men and horses, took hundreds of light trebuchets and ten hot-air balloons, and went to Kufa to help the Lachem people.
Kufa's garrison was small and not equipped with artillery.
The Lachem people were unable to attack for a long time, but they just didn't have any useful siege equipment.
Xue Rengui takes these things and should be able to help the Lachem people capture Kufa easily.
Rappasu also took the initiative and sent 500 people to follow him to Kufa.
Regarding this matter, Su Chen didn't bother to ask: let them handle the grudges between the Persians and the Lachems themselves.
Su Chen here wrote a letter asking Li Chengqian to send two officials from Honglu Temple to help.
Muwesa, who was holding back his anger, left Basra angrily and rushed to Hilla City.
He was appointed by Osman to go to Basra to meet with Li Chengqian to discuss the conditions for the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal.
As a result, Li Chengqian scolded him as soon as they met:
Li Chengqian asked him why he had gone there so early. It had been almost a year since the Tang Dynasty army arrived in Dashi, and now they knew they had come to contact Datang.
The food-loving nobles of Mecca and Medina were far more active than the Ottomans.
Li Chengqian also asked Muwesa why he came to Basra secretly instead of negotiating with the commander-in-chief of the Tang army in front of the battle, and whether he had any ulterior motives.
Li Chengqian was very disgusted with Osman's actions: He had been in the peninsula for almost a year, and Osman had never sent an envoy to see him. Now that he was beaten by the Tang army and had no choice but to come to sue for peace, he was still sneaky.
.
Muvisa was kept in Basra by Li Chengqian for two days, and then he was sent back by Li Chengqian to negotiate with Su Chen about the conditions for withdrawing the army.
Feeling aggrieved, Muwesa had no choice but to leave Basra and return to Hilla City. He thought that his trip was in vain. What would happen if he went back to see His Majesty the Ottomans?
After working hard for thousands of miles, when Muwesa returned to the vicinity of Shila City, he almost fainted from the news he got!
I have only been away from Hilla City for a few days!
Not to mention that the city of Shira was captured by the Tang army, His Majesty Osman was also driven to the east bank of the Shira River by the Tang army!
Muwesa did not go to see Suchen. He found a small boat to cross the Shira River and went to see Osman earlier to report to him what he had experienced in Basra.
After listening to Muvisa's report, Osman was so angry that he smashed the glass cup on the table.
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty all said that Su Chen was a devil and particularly hated foreigners.
If you negotiate with him about the conditions for withdrawal, you will probably lose your skin!
After carefully studying the conditions Li Chengqian had previously offered to the wealthy nobles, Osman sighed: "Send someone to get that damn Mutarif!"
Muwesa frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Mutharif is the prime minister of food appointed by the prophet, and he is very old..."
Osman said angrily: "Look at the conditions proposed by the Tang people before. The Tang people have long hated him for what he sent people to do in the Tang country. If they don't hand him over, will the Tang people give up?"
"Also, if he hadn't beguiled those greedy nobles, would I have agreed to send a fleet across the ocean to the Tang Dynasty?"
"We provoked the Tang State entirely because of this damn thing."
Seeing what Osman said, Muwesa didn't say anything more.
Then discuss with Osman about negotiating with Su Chen.
Su Chen had no idea that Muwesa had returned to Osman. He was listening to Hashem's report on the situation of the Lachem people.
Kufa City is not far from Shira, and Xue Rengui has returned from completing his mission.
Also following back were two siblings, Elsa and Hashim.
At that time, the defenders of Kufa City abandoned the city and fled when they saw that the Tang army had arrived. Xue Rengui showed his face in front of the city and easily completed the task.
Hashim reported to Suchen that the people of Lachem had re-established the Kingdom of Lachem, and it had also been recognized by the food nobles of Mecca and Medina.
Those big food nobles would actually recognize the independence of the Kingdom of Lachem?
Su Chen was quite surprised by this.
When it came to the food aristocrats, Su Chen glanced at Elsa: "It didn't work to lobby the food aristocrats in Basra this time?"
"They seem to have made no move until now. Don't they plan to change the king?"
Elsa sighed: "I'm not doing well! I underestimated the courage of those greedy people!"
"After being coerced and lured by my concubine, they continued to connect with each other and tried to attract more power."
“But I just don’t dare to take the last step!”
"Now that the commander has disabled Osman, there is no need to retaliate against them."
Su Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "On the contrary, I have finished taking care of Osman, and now it's time to take care of them."
"Next, these bastards won't be able to do anything unless they confront Osman!"
Elsa was stunned and said excitedly: "Commander, how are you going to deal with them?"
