Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 225 Chapter 237

The death of Porun and the chaos of the Ashina Empire made Datang's strategy on the prairie much easier. Although there are still some resistance forces, they can't become a big climate anymore.

At this time, the Mediterranean region is also in chaos.

Rome and Dashi fought in Armenia and Egypt respectively. Needless to say, Egypt, because of the rebellion of the Egyptians, was extremely weak, and was easily beaten to the Red Sea by Rome. Armenia, because of its proximity to Damascus, lost its strength. It's still enough, so I finally kept it.

However, the Persians who followed them southward caught Dashi by surprise.The Persians are very insidious. They know that this land is difficult to control in their hands, so they burned, killed and looted all the way, and left after taking advantage of it.In addition, the Khorasan area was also disrupted by a sudden Persian army, which disrupted the originally peaceful life.

Holding the battle report from the front line in his hand, Osman only felt a mouthful of blood rushing up, and then his eyes blurred, and he staggered and fell on the chair.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Are you all right!"

Looking at Osman's pale old face, the Minister of Military Affairs at the side quickly asked with concern.

"Persia...Persia actually blatantly tore up the covenant! Aren't they afraid of the Tang Dynasty's attack?"

After finally taking a breath, Osman said in a hoarse voice.

Although he was angry at the betrayal of the Egyptians, it was not difficult to understand, and even the attack of the Romans was not beyond their expectations.Only Persia, they have a common enemy, this time rebellion, the next time the Tang Dynasty attacks, how will they resist?That was a beast!
"Your Majesty! Persia has never been of one mind with us. In fact, it is not surprising to do so. The most urgent thing now is to make a choice, otherwise, we will really suffer from the enemy."

Sighing deeply, the Minister of Military Affairs said helplessly.

"A trade-off? You mean to let me give up Armenia and Khorasan?"

At this time, he also came back to his senses, Osman said in a low tone.

"I can't give up. Your Majesty, Khorasan is the ancestral land of Persia. Their dynasty is named after Khorasan. This time it must be won. As for Armenia, it happens to be my big food, Rome and The border of Persia, the middle zone of the three kingdoms. If it was before, I would definitely not give in, but in this situation, do you think we can still hold it? Rome wants to dominate the Mediterranean, so give it to him Well, when the time comes, let him face Persia in the north and Dashi in the south at the same time, and see how he handles himself!

Now Datang has no intention of continuing westward, but Li Shimin's ambition is obvious to all, and the king of Tang, with such outstanding people in Datang, how could he let go of the land of the Mediterranean?We had already lost a lot in the last battle with Datang, and now this battle is even more debilitating. If we continue to fight, food and grass will become a fatal problem. We might as well save our strength and return to Medina!

As long as we return to Medina, our defense line will be shortened a lot, and the main disputes will fall directly on Rome and Persia. One will ebb and flow. They will fight for Armenia and Damascus, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. At that time, Our crisis is over.Even if Datang goes west in the future, we still have the strength to resist. After all, the main force of Datang must attack those Persians first.With the shield of Persia and the second obstacle of the Roman Empire, our Dashi will be more stable. "

The Minister of Military Affairs persuaded patiently.

"But in this way, wouldn't my big food go back to a far point?"

Osman said unwillingly.

"That's something that can't be helped! Your Majesty! Only those who know how to gain and lose can live longer. Between countries, how can success or failure be judged by a temporary victory? How powerful was ancient Persia? Isn't it the same now? ? Your Majesty! Only alive is the winner!"

The Minister of Military Affairs sighed again, his expression extremely helpless.

In the past, there was only one medina, but it has also developed to the point where it is now. If it does not retreat now, it will not be as simple as returning to the original point, and there may be a danger of destroying the country, because right now Speaking of it, the economy of the Great Food Nation is already in depression, and their military expenditures and rations have not been paid for three months. If this continues, they will definitely mutiny.

"Huh! Then retreat! Retreat! Take all the population and finances, and let's go back to Medina..."

Finally convinced by the Minister of Military Affairs, Osman seemed to be ten years older in an instant.

Dashi's army retreated, but with their retreat, Persia was caught in a dilemma.Now Armenia is empty, and many Persian ministers advocate going south to occupy Armenia.

In fact, if Dashi didn't give up, they wouldn't have such thoughts, but now that Dashi has made up his mind to give up such a large piece of meat, it's hard for them not to think about it.

At this time, far in the south of Egypt, Yugushe and Lan Ruodie are leading an endless group of people through the dense forest.

They are looking for a new home.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Zuo Ming's plan, but at this moment, the Byzantine orphan came to the door again.

Zuo Ming was extremely displeased with the boy's arrival, "Why are you here again? Could it be that what I said earlier was not clear enough?"

"Your Majesty, calm down, you have a bargaining chip in everything. I didn't have enough bargaining chips before, so I failed to impress Your Majesty, but this time is different! Now that the main force of Rome is in the Mediterranean Sea in the east, it is a great opportunity!"

This time the boy seemed to have matured a lot. Although he still looked dusty, his tone was full of calmness and confidence.

"That's true, but what good does it do me?"

With a joking smile, Zuo Ming still said in a nonchalant way.

"Does Your Majesty have no idea about the land in Northern Europe?"

The boy pretended to be exaggerated.

He felt that Zuo Ming would not miss such a good fighter, because this is a common problem among land kings.

"You guessed right this time, I have no interest in Europe at all, at least for now!"

However, this time Zuo Ming laughed mockingly again.

He is now sitting on the entire America, so where does he need to fight Rome to the death?Even if he wanted to fight, he would have to wait until Datang's army pushed over, otherwise, he wouldn't do such a thankless thing.

Zuo Ming's words made the young man slightly taken aback.Because he really doesn't understand Zuo Ming.

"But—are you not afraid that Rome will attack the Kingdom of God with all its strength after occupying the Mediterranean Sea? After all, by then, Your Majesty, you will become the only enemy of Rome!"

the boy asked incredulously.

"Hahahahaha! Enemy? Even Chen Dong is worthy? Boy, you don't understand the power of my kingdom of God, nor the power of His Majesty!"

Ryan on the side looked at the boy and laughed.

Even though the current Kingdom of God only has two islands, Britain and Ireland, the population of the Kingdom of God has actually reached 500 million!It should be noted that the whole of Europe at that time was only more than 3000 million people, because many people died in the war.

Especially after the split of the Roman Empire, the whole of Europe was in chaos.

With a population of 500 million, an army of over 40, and tens of thousands of ships, if Rome wants to conquer the Kingdom of God again, it must mobilize at least half of the troops in the Empire, and these people may not necessarily be able to fight in the Kingdom of God. How long to stay on the land.

After hearing this, and looking at Zuo Ming's expression, the young man almost cursed.He felt that Zuo Ming was too arrogant to ignore the existence of Rome.

"You don't need to say anything more. I still say the same old saying, my Kingdom of God has no possibility of going east, you don't need to come to us if you want to restore the country!
Oh!correct!If you really have an idea, you might as well go to the east to find Persia. I think they will definitely hope that you can retake Byzantium, because then Armenia will become theirs. "

Zuo Ming's words immediately moved the young man's heart, but he ignored it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice! Now that Your Majesty has reached this point, the boy will leave!"

After pondering for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

"Go! Don't come to the Kingdom of God again within ten years."

For this young man, Zuo Ming was really not optimistic, so his tone was extremely contemptuous.

However, after sending him away, Zuo Ming immediately called Ryan to the front, "Since you can lead a team of people to follow them ashore, I want to know their deployment and personnel distribution in Gothic."

"Your Majesty...do you want this?"

Slightly taken aback, Ryan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why? Do you think I'm mean? Hehe! I think so too, but it doesn't matter. That guy is obsessed with the Mediterranean Sea and has no intention of managing Gothic. If that's the case, why don't you just give it to me!
Remember, as soon as their garrison moves east, we will immediately attack the Goths!Soft persimmons are easier to pinch than hard ones. "

Xie Xie smiled, Zuo Ming said badly.

This is also the young man's own death, showing his determination to go south again and again, so that Zuo Ming was a little tempted.

If Gothic and the whole north are added, that’s more than half of Europe. Although most of them are cold places, he has a grain base like the Americas, and he doesn’t care whether it’s suitable for planting and breeding at all.

All he wanted was a populated area to prepare for more American immigrants.

"Yes! Your Majesty! I will do my best to win Goth and even the whole of Northern Europe for Your Majesty!"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Ryan suddenly became excited.

Now Galen is in command of the whole of Ireland, and De Laite has also taken root in Iceland. As for Sabo, he even went to America to become the governor, and he is the only one who is still nesting in the Kingdom of God.

Zuo Ming asked him to play Gothic, in fact, it meant to let him go further, how could he not understand?Therefore, he must work harder when it comes to his own welfare.
