Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 261 Chapter 273 Unified Southeast Asia
"Chen Dong, the matter here is coming to an end. My people will go to Gothic soon. If you are sensible, you'd better let Martin come back as soon as possible. Now that the war in the south has almost been settled, he will go to Gothic soon." There is no point in playing this trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

With a final glance at Zuo Qiu, Zuo Ming turned to Chen Dongdao who was at the side.

"It's the first time I've seen someone invade and I'm confident. If you don't say it, I will recall Martin. This guy has become more and more useless over the years. The war in the south has rotted to such an extent that he is still staring at Goth. It's simply stupid not to let it go! However, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. As you said, we are also from the same hometown after all, and some things just need to be straight, there is no need to hurt the friendship."

First he laughed mockingly, then Chen Dong said with a flickering expression.

"I will consider your opinion."

With the same flickering smile, Zuo Ming said.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that this kind of matter could not be resolved by talking, it would have to be a fight, otherwise, how could Chen Dong willingly lose his troops and lose ground?
"Okay, I should go. If it's too late, my people might do something crazy."

After laughing, Zuo Ming said goodbye.

Seeing that Zuo Ming was about to leave, Chen Dong's expression flickered, and he said hypocritically, "Leave after lunch?"

"No. Your Roman bacon sausage is not to my liking. For dinner, let's talk about it when you have the courage to visit my kingdom of God. I promise to treat you well."

Smiling lightly, Zuo Ming said meaningfully.After finishing speaking, he greeted Eunuch Qian and walked away from the hall.

Looking at Zuo Ming's leaving back, Chen Dong's face slowly sank, and then he gave orders to his subordinates.

"Bring Martin back immediately, quickly!"

"Your Majesty, do you really believe Zuo Ming's words?" Zuo Qiu asked in surprise to Chen Dong's order.

"I am not willing to believe him, but I have to believe him. In fact, it is not a bad thing to let him capture West Slav. At least in this way, they will have conflicts with Persia, and the Kingdom of God can no longer stay out of it and play tricks to manipulate the situation of the war." Already!"

Laughing at himself, Chen Dong said helplessly.After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the backyard.

Five days later, Martin, who was about to capture De Laite Fort on the Gothic border, received Chen Dong's order to retreat.After receiving this order, Martin's face was ugly.

He paid a price of nearly 2 people, and he was about to take down the first castle and win the first victory in the war with the Kingdom of God in a long time, but he didn't expect Chen Dong to drag him back at this time, it was really It made him both angry and helpless.

He really didn't understand, did Chen Dong really not know how important it was for Rome to defeat the Kingdom of God once?

In desperation, Martin could only choose to obey.

Looking at the back of Martin leaving on the tall city wall, Ryan let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn't think that being Martin would be so difficult. Although he had high concrete walls and cannons, he was still beaten terribly by his catapults.

This Martin was really ruthless. In order to attack the city wall, he actually used catapults to pile up countless stones into a ladder, and then let teams of people charge upward desperately, regardless of the artillery bombardment.

This team after team of cannon fodder made it almost impossible for the gunners on the city wall to reload gunpowder and shells, so Ryan felt a little powerless when they hit each other.

This is not to say that Ryan is incompetent, it is Martin's desperate way of fighting that caught him off guard and failed to fully prepare.

"Reorganize the whole army, and then remove these stones for me!"

Ryan gave orders to the soldiers around him, and then left the city with a tired face.

And when Martin withdrew south and Ryan rectified Gothic, Zuo Ming had already returned to God Island and started the arrangement for the Eastern Expedition.

This is also the fact that the Kingdom of God is strong enough, and at the same time in the Iberian Peninsula and West Slavia, it does not feel the slightest effort.

The Kingdom of God has finally set foot in the interior of Europe, and the Tang Dynasty has not been idle. After so many years of chasing and fighting, Li Yin in the north finally destroyed the last trace of the Ashina Empire, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Li Shimin's last wish.

On the south side, Duan Mingyang successfully used the combination of vertical and horizontal, together with Shui Zhenla to destroy Linyi, and then together with Piao Kingdom to destroy Queen Guo.

After annihilating the Queen's Kingdom, Duan Mingyang sold part of the isolated Queen's Kingdom's territory to Shuizhenla and Pyu Kingdom with gold and silver. La and Linyi have become a monolith.

Because of the competition for the territory of the Queen's Kingdom, there were some conflicts between Shuizhenla and Pyu, but those conflicts were not serious, but with this opening, Duan Mingyang took advantage of the loophole. He first bought Shuizhen with a lot of money. The minister of La La, killed a group of Pyu prisoners of war without authorization, and then made troubles in the Pyu country, which made the conflict between the two countries deeper and deeper. In the end, he succeeded in successfully provoked disputes between the two countries.

And in the same year when Li Yin pacified the desert, Duan Mingyang finally wiped out Shuizhenla together with Pyu.

Of course, the Pyu Kingdom did not get any benefits. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty had almost unified the entire Southeast Asia, the Pyu Kingdom finally chose to surrender.

Since then, Pyu has become the third autonomous region after Silla and Luzhenla.

As for the small countries such as Arakan Kingdom, Data Kingdom, Donghui Kingdom, Gundam Kingdom, and Three Demon Altar Kingdom to the west of the Pyu Kingdom, they chose to attach themselves at the first time.

This time, Tianzhu was really taken aback!
In the past, Datang was separated from them by the Himalayas that reached into the sky, so they could sit back and relax, but now it is different. Datang occupies the entire Southeast Asia, and can easily invade the Indian peninsula, whether it is land or water.

What made them most uncomfortable was that the island country to the south of them, the Lion Country, surrendered without a fight when Datang's fleet sailed through the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea to Africa, and became another vassal state of Datang!
With a terrifying existence like Datang by his side, Tianzhu finally withdrew from the Khorasan area, carefully guarding various land routes and coasts.

And because of Tianzhu's retreat, the pattern of the Mediterranean has once again undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Great Food Kingdom colluded with Tianzhu and broke the covenant first, which naturally made Zhuoguman hate it.And since Dashi has torn up the covenant, they will naturally not be polite.At the moment, it joined forces with the remaining garrisons in the Khorasan area to press towards Baghdad from the northeast, and then Damascus and Jerusalem.

Not only Persia, after receiving the instructions from the Kingdom of God, Rome also concentrated its power and launched an attack on the Great Food Kingdom. It fought all the way from Libya to Egypt, and regained the remaining territories on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea except New Egypt.

Originally, Chen Dong's original intention was to take advantage of the victory to pursue and bite off a piece of Dashi's meat, but at this time Zuo Ming spoke up and told him to stop marching.

Now that Rome's military pay is paid by the Kingdom of God, Zuo Ming does not allow him to continue eastward, so he naturally has nothing to do.He really wants to take over more territory, but without the supplies from the Kingdom of God, he probably won't be able to survive even half a month.

Martin was the most aggrieved. He hadn't fought a smooth battle in these years. He finally won a round with Persia, but was stopped by the emperor of the Kingdom of God.He really felt extremely uncomfortable!
He couldn't understand why Chen Dong seemed to be a different person after meeting Zuo Ming, and he started to obey Chen Dongyan.This is really unreasonable.

Martin never dreamed that Zuo Ming had promised Chen Dong the title of the overlord of the Mediterranean, and had pulled him back to the Datang camp on the grounds that he was also from the Tang Dynasty.

Although the current Chen Dong is still sitting in the position of the Roman emperor, he has already become the king of the Tang Dynasty in the Mediterranean Sea in his heart.

He is a person who knows current affairs and knows that he can't fight Zuo Ming, so he decides not to fight with him anymore, but resigns himself to accept Zuo Ming's arrangement.

His real age has reached sixty now, he is tired, and he doesn't want to risk his life and wealth to fight against the heyday Tang Dynasty.

Rome stopped attacking, but the Persians seemed to be ruthless, and they reached the Arabian Peninsula all the way!
As expected of being old and cunning, Osman actually mobilized his main force at this time, launched a counterattack, and immediately killed the Persians by surprise.

But at this time, a strange army above the sea appeared!

It was a fleet made up of steel ships, there were as many as a hundred ships, densely packed with artillery on both sides, and above the fleet were countless black people in Chinese costumes!
Needless to say, these people are all left behind by New Egypt near the Great Rift Valley in East Africa-a total of [-] warriors and hundreds of large ships.

After these Africans landed on the Arabian Peninsula silently from the south bank, they carried out an extinct search. From food to ore to population, they were just like locusts!
After hearing this, Osman was naturally furious, and immediately sent troops to destroy it.It's just that those Africans are too slippery. By the time their army came to the south bank, they had already left the Arabian Peninsula with more than 100 ships full of finances and prisoners.

After all, the big cannibals are not good at water warfare, and trying to catch up with the warships of the Kingdom of God in the sea is simply a dream!So they gritted their teeth with hatred, and they could only watch those Africans go away at ease.

The navy of the Kingdom of God is really too strong. In this era when ships were still made of wood, large ships driven by steel and steam were simply invincible.

They are not afraid of wind and waves, not afraid of flames, and even less afraid of collisions!

Facing such an enemy, they can only retreat!
