Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2466 Mu'awiyah
"Your Excellency the Governor!"

There was a cry behind him, and the general turned his head on the horse to look at his son Yazid.

This is a warrior who has inherited the excellent blood of the Uyama family. He is brave and loyal, with hot blood flowing in his body. Although he is only 17 years old, he is already the most brave and fearless warrior in the family. Make great achievements.

This is the glory of the family, and it is his pride as a father.

However, in the army, the governor of Damascus, Mu'awiyah, never allowed him to call his father, but respectfully addressed him as "His Excellency the Governor" like all soldiers.

Although the mere governor of Damascus will definitely not be the end of Mu'awiya's complacency...

"What do you have to say?"

Mu'awiya's face was cold, but his eyes were very gentle.

Ye Qide stood on the ground, stood solemnly, and boldly said: "I know the ambition of Your Excellency the Governor, but Medina's order cannot be disobeyed."

He is the son of Mu'awiyah, and he knows his father Mo Ruozi. Just looking at his father's firm figure and deep eyes, he knew that his father must be disobeying the Caliph's order at this moment, and he brazenly ordered to continue the attack and defeat the menacing attack ahead. The coming Datang army.

In fact, his heart is also eager to try, full of fighting spirit!
In the world, there is only the Great Tang Empire in the far east that can be compared with the invincible Great Food Empire that ruled a vast land and enslaved hundreds of millions of people!
These two empires are like giants in the world. Although they are far apart, they will have to fight sooner or later!
How can a mountain hold two fierce tigers? !

However, thinking of the current situation of his father, he had to suppress the fighting spirit in his heart.

Mu'awiya was expressionless, and after a long time, he lowered his head, spread his palms, stared at the letter that he almost crushed, and remained silent.

Behind him, countless Arab warriors stood there quietly, the cool wind blowing from the mighty Ili River fluttering their white cloaks. The heyday lineup showed that this was the most elite army of the Dashi Empire!
Starting from Medina, they ran rampant in Europe and Asia. They destroyed Persia and occupied Damascus. They vowed to sweep the world with their swords, so that everyone under the sky would prostrate themselves in front of the great Arab warriors, bathed in the divine glory of the prophet!
The river is mighty and the wind is strong.

Mu'awiya raised his head, squinted his eyes, looked at the blazing sun, and then at the tens of thousands of brave and fearless warriors in front of him.

He knew that as long as he was determined to reject the caliph's order, these brave soldiers would follow him without hesitation, no matter whether he separatist Damascus and made himself king, or turned back and killed him in Medina, leaving his sitting The cousin on the caliphate's throne is dragged down...

Ye Qide was anxious, took a step forward, and urged in a low voice: "Father, please think again!"

Mu'awiya looked at his son in front of him, his falcon-like eyes softened again, sighed, and said quietly: "Those idiots don't know the importance of the East to Arabia. Compared with Arabia, the Tang Dynasty in the East is more important. Wealthy and prosperous, the population there is several times that of Arabia, and it has the most fertile land.

Take a look at this Silk Road. Since it was established in the Han Dynasty, it has connected east and west. How much gold and silver wealth have been exchanged by the Han people from the West with porcelain and silk?Occupying the entire Western Region will cut off the Silk Road, and all wealth will fall into the pockets of Arabia.Then according to the Western Regions, it will not be long before the Arab soldiers can set foot on that rich and fertile land, spread the sacred light on it, and let those Han people be our slaves forever. That will be the highest achievement of all Arab warriors ! "

Having said that, his face became ferocious, and he tore the letter into pieces, and let go of it in the air. The snow-white fragments fluttered like snowflakes in the long wind.

The tone was full of hatred: "However, those stupid things only have checks and balances, restraints, and restraints in their hearts... They are afraid that I, Muawiyah, will have unrivaled power after conquering the East, but they have completely forgotten what the Prophet gave us. Mission! Damn the Hashemite family, all of them are idiots who play tricks and deceive people, none of them are followers who really make the prophet supreme, they are just a group of silverfish, thieves, and merchants!"

He became very emotional and yelled loudly.

People on the left and right, including his son, all had expressions on their faces, silent like a cicada.

In Medina, in the whole of Arabia, among all the believers, everyone knows the grievances and grievances between the Uyama family and the Hashemite family...

Prophet Muhammad came from the Hashemite family.

After Muhammad founded and expanded the sect, the Mecca nobles headed by the Umayyad family wanted to exterminate Muhammad and prevent the power from being deprived.Under high pressure, Muhammad and his followers had to move to Medina, and use this as the core to establish a new rule.

However, Medina's geographical strength is not as good as that of Mecca, and the new regime is fragile and crumbling.

The lowlands along the Red Sea itself are small in scale, with a harsh environment and limited geographical strength. Only the traditional main trade routes of Syria, Mesopotamia, and the Iranian Plateau have more benefits.Therefore, the new regime is more willing to cooperate with the old forces in Mecca to obtain maximum benefits and accelerate external expansion.

With the rapid development of power, Muhammad's prestige became higher and higher, and his family became more and more prominent, which finally made the nobles of Mecca fall to Muhammad.

However, the basis of cooperation between the two is different. The old forces in Mecca have more advantages in military and economic strength because of their perennial operations, while Muhammad is superior in spirituality.

The foundation of such cooperation is not solid.
To put it bluntly, one is to contribute money and efforts, and the other is more to play tricks.At the beginning of the cooperation, the two can help each other in the same boat, but once the goal is achieved, they will face the situation of separation, and at that time, the two sides will fight for their own interests.

For example, the current caliph, Uthman ibn Affan, the ruler of the Arab world, the follower and son-in-law of the Prophet, while relying on the mighty force and ample financial resources of the Uyama family to consolidate his rule and expand the influence of Arabia, but I am also very afraid of the increasingly powerful Woyama family, which is always restricting and restricting.

Muhammad is more of a spiritual leader. If secular power can be passed on by blood, then spiritual power is not within this rule.

Only the holy have the unique right to be worshiped, and one can only worship and obey him, and can only pray to him and repent.The Holy Prophet was sent to convey the will, and Muhammad was the last of the 25 prophets. In this way, the way of Muhammad's spiritual power inheritance was completely cut off...

This makes it impossible for any subsequent leader to have the lofty and sacred status of Muhammad.

And the Hashim family will inevitably decline with the death of Muhammad.At the same time, the Hashemite family had to face the Umayyad family, which was stronger than itself in the secular world, and the Umayyad family would also use their political advantages to suppress the Hashemite family.

As the cake of the Arab Empire grew bigger and bigger, how to divide the cake intensified the contradictions and conflicts between the two major forces of the Umayyads and the Hashemites.

And two years ago, when Muawiya led his army to conquer Persia, occupied Damascus and recognized himself as the governor of Damascus, this conflict and contradiction reached its peak in an instant.

In order to restrain Mu'awiya's expansion, the Caliph had to strictly order Mu'awiya to stop attacking the Western Regions in an attempt to conquer the Tang Dynasty in the name of holiness.

And the choice Muawiya is facing at this moment is to continue to implement his plan to completely conquer the distant and rich east, or to choose between making compromises and waiting for the time to act under the pressure of the Caliph.

The water of the Yili River is blown by the long wind, and it is golden under the scorching sun.

Standing on the bank of the river, Mu'awiya slowly moved his gaze eastward from the desolate and vast Gobi, where there are towering mountains and peaks that pierce the sky, and beyond there is the magnificent and vast Western Region. The silk road condensed with blood and tears is the rich and fertile land of Tang Dynasty.

Conquering there is the loftiest ambition of all the mighty emperors who once traversed Europe and Asia!
Today, my footsteps may be the one closest to that land among all the kings who once thought about conquering the East, and they can invade the border at the point of the sword, and may achieve the greatest feat in the Arab world!
However, his feet were fettered with shackles, and his body seemed to be wrapped in a thick shroud, which made his breathing difficult, and his ambition was unrewarding...

What exactly?
