Chapter 368 There Is No Other Way but to Conquer (Part 2)

As the first warrior of the Arab Empire, Turhong once followed Caliph Safaah to start an army in his fiefdom, fought all the way to overthrow the previous dynasty and established the current Abbasid Dynasty, and expanded the territory of the dynasty across Asia, Africa and Europe. His life motto is "There is no other way in the world, only to conquer"!

In his opinion, as long as it is a place favored by the Abbasid Dynasty, as long as he, the first warrior of Arabia, Turhong, led his troops to conquer it personally, then the flag of the Arab Empire must be planted.

However, he never thought that this small Western Region Uighur Khanate would almost become the battlefield where he was defeated.

Turhong, who wanted to conquer the Western Region and threaten the Tang Dynasty with it, was almost conquered by the Tang Dynasty.

The key point is, if the Tang Dynasty army fought him with real swords and guns on the battlefield, he would feel better if Turhong and his Arab Empire army were defeated because they were inferior to him;

The key point is that the defeat of Huihe Princess City was not what Turhong wanted to see, and it did not reflect the obvious strength gap between the Tang Dynasty army and the Arab Empire army on the battlefield;

It was only because his scouts and messengers failed to understand the real strength of the Tang Dynasty army, and thus "spread rumors" that caused Turhong, as a general, to make a wrong judgment on the battle situation between the two sides, and finally had to order a retreat, which led to the Arab Empire's eastern expedition army retreating on two fronts in Huihe Princess City and Huihe Capital, and suffering a defeat;

This was difficult for Turhong, who was stubborn by nature, to accept, and he regarded it as a shame in his military career.

After a short rest, Turhong and the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition Army, which retreated to the three cities of Heihu, Meijian, and Khatun, regrouped and were determined to start all over again, fighting the Tang army that "fell from the sky" with real swords and guns on the battlefield.

On this day, in the central army tent of the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition Army.

The furious general Turhong summoned the Arab Empire's generals and the kings and generals of the Western Regions vassal army under his command to hold an emergency military meeting.

The cause of the meeting was the imperial edict of Chen Huaian, the Emperor Zhaowu of the Tang Dynasty. The topic of the meeting was how to concentrate troops and find a way to kill the spirit of Chen Huaian and the Tang army.

At the meeting, Turhong, who was sitting in the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, spoke first: "Everyone, have you all read the edict issued by the Tang Emperor Chen Huaian a few days ago?"

"Reporting to the general, I have read it!"

The king of Wusun, Tibis, who was exiled again, was the first to stand up and said indignantly: "He Chen Huaian is simply shameless. What virtue and ability does he have to dare to claim himself as the Khan of Heaven, the common leader of the Western Regions?"

"He is the Khan of Heaven in the Western Regions, and my Wusun country is the first to disobey!"

Tibis's hatred for Chen Huaian is no less than Turhong's hatred for Chen Huaian.

This is not only because of his personal grudge with Lan Yu, the Anxi Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, but also because Chen Huaian took advantage of Tibis's absence from the country and once again ordered the Tang army to invade his country and palace, and also to deal with the affairs of Wusun in the next period of time as the Khan of Heaven;

How could Tibis bear this!

I came out for no reason, thinking that I could cut Lan Yu into pieces to avenge my shame;

Who would have thought that I would not be able to avenge the old hatred but would have a new one, and my home would be robbed by the Tang army after I came out. Who could bear this?

I only heard Tibis continue to say righteously: "General, the kings of the thirty-five countries in the Western Regions will not agree to Chen Huaian's self-proclaimed Khan;"

"I believe that the people of the thirty-five countries in the Western Regions will never allow the Tang army to do whatever they want in their homes;"

"General, our thirty-five countries in the Western Regions have already surrendered to the Arab Empire and regarded the Abbasid Dynasty as the common ruler of the Western Regions. I hope the general will make the decision for us!"

As he said this, Tibis stood up from his seat, put his right fist on his chest, and saluted General Turhong on the main seat.

Seeing this, the other kings and soldiers of the Western Regions in the central army tent also followed Tibes's example and saluted Turhong, begging, "General, please make a decision for us!"
