Chapter 1163 第1163章 „Does not need!” “不必了！” Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi stand shoulder to shoulder, are looking in Urds City, the thick smoke that raises from various places is unceasingly billowing: 王冲和高仙芝并肩而立,望着呼罗珊城内,不断从各处升起的浓烟滚滚: „Abmuslin this person, to escape wholeheartedly, the city so is also big, we were very difficult to find his, moreover next, we need to consider no longer was fights or is strikes to kill somebody, matter that but needs to consider the strategic point of view. General Cheng, I prepare to that letter that you did say?” “艾布穆斯/林这种人,如果一心想要逃跑,城池又这么大,我们很难找到他的,而且下一步,我们需要考虑的不再是战斗或者是击杀某个人,而是需要考虑战略全局的事情了。程将军,我跟你说的那封信准备好了吗？” „Already prepared. Holds a pen by the Master meter, momentarily can deliver to Baghdad to go through these Caliphate Saker Falcon.” “早就准备好了。由师仪捉笔,随时都可以通过那些大食的猎隼送到巴格达去。” A sound from behind conveys, point of Cheng Qianli in the top, swiftly has caught up from the rear area gently. 一个声音从身后传来,程千里在城头上轻轻一点,迅速从后方赶了上来。 Top Level Great General, consideration forever is a victory or defeat of war, but Wang Chong considers, not only the matter in battlefield, but also includes the strategic point of view outside battlefield, his field of vision and pattern make Empire Great General in this piece of mainland be overshadowed sufficiently. This is also Cheng Qianli to the reason that he admires. 顶级的大将,考虑的永远是一场战争的胜败,而王冲考虑的不只是战场上的事情,还包括战场外的战略全局,他的视野和格局足以让这片大陆上的帝国大将黯然失色。这也是程千里对他佩服的原因。 Great Army entered quickly turbulently, did not have * and guarding of Zhihad, several tens of thousands Great Army collapsed and annihilated Speed, was much quicker than at any time. From opening the city gate, enters to Great Army, just used two double-hour, Wang Chong to lead Great Army to take over control thoroughly, the military strategic place in this Silk Road west side terminal. 大军很快汹涌而入,没有了艾布*和齐亚德的驻守,数万大军崩溃和被歼灭的速度,远比任何时候都要快得多。从打开城门,到大军进入,前后只不过用了两个时辰,王冲就带领大军彻底的接管了,这座丝绸之路西侧末端的军事重镇。 „Is this Tigris River?” “这就是底格里斯河吗？” The Urds City west side, in high city wall, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli and Li Siye also had Yuan Shurong and Bakrham, simultaneously have mounted this grand city wall peak. Settles down in the Urds City east city wall, looked into the past, Wang Chong saw under Urds City, great distance not far away, broad and giant rivers turbulently. 呼罗珊城的西侧,高高的城墙上,王冲、高仙芝、程千里、李嗣业还有元书荣和巴赫拉姆,齐齐登上了这座宏伟的城墙顶端。驻足在呼罗珊城东边的城墙上,眺望过去,王冲一眼就看到了呼罗珊城下,相隔不远处,一条宽阔而巨大的河流汹涌而过。 This rivers have 50-60 zhang (3.33 m) width fully, does not know deeply, although the river water is rapid, but has not actually imagined that muddy. 这条河流足有五六十丈宽,不知多深,虽然河水湍急,但是却并没有想象中的那么浑浊。 In Wang Chong life, the first experience to Cong Ridge west , one of the original Sassanid Empire most famous two rivers, Tigris River, Euphrates River. 王冲生命中,第一次见识到葱岭以西,原萨珊王朝最着名的两条河流之一,一条底格里斯河,一条幼发拉底河。 This is the root of entire Sassanid Empire civilization breeding, is the present entire Caliphate Empire most important rivers. 这是整个萨珊王朝文明孕育的根源,也是现在整个大食帝国最重要的河流。 „This is only the Tigris River branch, the branch of this river is broader than and grand, our Sassanid People that you see now can breed several thousand years of history, becomes the shore of most formidable country sea, because of these two rivers, but now already entire Tribe to the Caliphate Empire hand. They even the person to all process rivers levied the high taxes, our Sassanid People thing intercourse could not leave these two rivers, every year does not know that had many wealth to be plundered by them, flowed in the Caliphate People state treasury.” “这只是底格里斯河的支流,这条河的主干比你现在看到的还要宽阔、宏伟,我们萨珊人能够孕育出数千年的历史,成为大海之滨最强大的国家,就是因为这两条河,不过现在已经全部落到了大食帝国手中。他们甚至对所有经过这条河流的人征收起了重税,我们萨珊人东西往来都离不开这两条河流,每年不知道有多少财富被他们搜刮,流入了大食人的国库之中。” Bakrham says with emotion. 巴赫拉姆感慨道。 Wang Chong is listening silently, in the mind flashes through some thoughts faintly, but quick belongs to tranquilly. 王冲默默听着,脑海中隐隐闪过一些念头,但很快又归于平静。 In history and Wang Chong memory had not the small change, at least in the Wang Chong memory, outside Urds City does not have the Tigris River branch, the vision in this was well-known western frontier and in the Caliphate rivers stayed the moment, Wang Chong raising the head of slowly, the vision looked to the endless distant place, passed over gently and swiftly the numerous spaces, Wang Chong was faint „sees” a huge capital city, there was the politics, authority, culture and military center entire Western mainland. 历史和王冲记忆中的已经发生了不小的变化,至少在王冲记忆中,呼罗珊城外并没有底格里斯河的支流,目光在这座闻名西陲和大食的河流上停留了片刻,王冲慢慢的抬起头来,目光望向了无尽的远处,掠过重重的空间,王冲隐隐“看到”一座庞大的都城,那里是整个西方大陆的政治、权力、文化和军事中心。 „Baghdad!” “巴格达！” In Wang Chong mind rapid flashing through together thought. 王冲脑海中迅速的闪过一道念头。 * wants to break through Talas, seizes the western region, under siege, aspires to seize entire Central Plains, what however satirizes to stab, to finally, * cannot intimidate Chang'an, on the contrary is oneself, the Western Expedition, thorough Caliphate, along Silk Road, in turn arrived in the city of Khorasan this Silk Road terminal. 艾布*想要攻破怛罗斯,占领西域,兵临城下,问鼎整个中原,然而讽剌的是,到了最后,艾布*并没有能够威逼长安,反倒是自己,一路西征,深入大食,沿着丝绸之路,反过来抵达了呼罗珊这座丝绸之路末端的城市。 „General Cheng starts!” “程将军开始吧！” Wang Chong looks at the front, does not return to say. 王冲看着前方,头也不回道。 „Yes!” “是！” The Cheng Qianli sound just fell, a moment later, crash-bang, Caliphate Saker Falcon shoots up to the sky quickly, delimits the overweight heavy space, goes toward Caliphate Empire Royal Capital Baghdad. 程千里声音刚落,片刻之后,哗啦啦,一只大食猎隼很快冲天而起,一路划过重重空间,朝着大食帝国的王都巴格达而去。 More than 2200 kilometers, this is very near being away from...... 2200多公里,这已经是很近的距离了…… From Khorasan set off, crosses Tigris River and Euphrates River, toward the west, again more than 1300 kilometers, is the entire Caliphate Empire core is. 从呼罗珊出发,越过底格里斯河和幼发拉底河,一路往西,再有1300多公里,便是整个大食帝国的核心所在。 There city is grand, tall tower and dome palace crowded like forest, points to the vault of heaven. Gathered massive military force(s) in this small place, several million common people, the innumerable trade routes, the economics, culture and politics are extremely developed. 那里城池雄伟,一座座高塔和圆顶宫殿密集如林,直指苍穹。在这个小小的地方聚集了大量的兵马,数百万百姓,还有无数的商旅,经济、文化和政治都极其发达。 Here is Baghdad, entire Caliphate Empire hugest center. 这里就是巴格达,整个大食帝国最庞大的中心。 Frontier west entire, it also has another resounding name, „lively district”! In this capital city, all people celebrate day and night, stay up till dawn, is known as the lively district. 在整个西陲,它还拥有另外一个响亮的名字,“不夜城”！在这座都城之中,所有人日夜庆祝,日夜不停,号称不夜城。 Cry! 唳！ Suddenly, a sharp cry from airborne transmits, in the Baghdad sky, huge Caliphate Saker Falcon launches the both wings, the feather rouses, benefits the arrow to drop from the clouds like one, binds to clamp the air current, has flown into Imperial Palace of Baghdad center roof. 突然之间,一声尖唳从空中传来,就在巴格达的上空,一只巨大的大食猎隼展开双翅,翎毛抖擞,有如一只利箭般从天而降,裹夹着气流,飞入了巴格达中心最高处的皇宫之中。 Bang! 轰隆！ However no one knows, when this only Caliphate Saker Falcon drops from the clouds, when flies into Imperial Palace, immediately likes a giant stone to crash, has started ten thousand zhang (3.33 m) mighty waves in this Empire. 然而谁也不知道,当这只大食猎隼从天而降,飞入皇宫之中时,顿时有如一块巨石坠落,在这个帝国之中掀起了万丈波澜。 „Scoundrel!!” “混账！！” In Jinding Imperial Palace of Baghdad roof, the thunder is furious, resounds through entire Caliphate, the innumerable governors, military commanders and aristocrat knee down in abundance, trembles. 就在巴格达最高处的金顶皇宫中,雷霆震怒,响彻整个大食,无数总督、武将、贵族纷纷跪倒在地,颤栗不已。 In the roof of main hall, a gold casts on the throne that makes, Caliphate Empire Caliph Moutassem III, wears the white silver thread robe, bringing the golden royal crown, in both eyes to spray the thunder flame. 就在大殿的最高处,一张黄金铸做的宝座上,大食帝国的哈里发穆塔西姆三世,穿着白色的银丝袍,带着黄金王冠,双目之中喷射着雷霆般的火焰。 As the entire Caliphate Empire monarchy, Moutassem III was known as that entire Caliphate Empire, the greatest king, entire Caliphate Empire in his hand, exterminated many influences in history, the Empire domain is expanded by him to the situation in the extreme, has achieved the unprecedented powerful condition. 作为整个大食帝国的君主,穆塔西姆三世号称整个大食帝国,有史以来最伟大的君王,整个大食帝国在他的手上,夷灭了多少势力,帝国的版图更是被他扩展到无以复加的地步,达到了前所未有的强盛状态。 The innumerable famous feudal official military and political leaders, millions elite Heavy Cavalry, the strong Great Army group, is in a high state of combat alertness completely, momentarily can go on a punitive expedition against the world for him. 无数的名臣将相,数以百万计的精锐铁骑,还有强大军团,全部枕戈待旦,随时可以为他征伐天下。 Said that he is this world most has the power and influence truly, is one of the Martial Strength most formidable rulers, is not overrated certainly. 说他是这个天下真正最有权势,同时也是武力最强大的统治者之一,也绝不为过。 The magnificence that however at this moment, all once established, all glory, vanish into thin air completely. 但是这一刻,所有曾经创立的辉煌,所有的荣耀,全部化为乌有。 The Behemoth Legion destruction, the Zhendan Legion heavy losses, Qutayba died in battle, Aibeck died in battle, Ottoman was killed, Mamlik damage......, He heard too many sad news these days. 巨兽军团覆灭,震旦军团重创,屈底波战死,艾伊贝克战死,奥斯曼被杀,马木留克损毁……,这段时间他听到太多噩耗了。 Regarding this eastern expedition, Moutassem III had the enormous anticipation, hopes that can draw support from the huge army, conquers the East, the unification entire mainland place, completes the unprecedented cause. 对于这次东征,穆塔西姆三世本来抱有极大的期待,希望能够借助庞大的军队,征服东方,统一整个大陆地,完成前所未有的伟业。 However now, all were disillusioned, incessantly so, even Great General under siege of Eastern heathen, threatened his Baghdad. 但是现在,一切都破灭了,不止如此,甚至一个东方的异教徒的大将军都兵临城下,威胁到了他的巴格达。 Moreover the opposite party believed set the extremely excessive request. 而且对方信中提出了极其过分的要求。 This simply is the great shame, how making Moutassem III be able to endure. 这简直是奇耻大辱,让穆塔西姆三世如何能够忍受。 „Your majesty, these Tang People has only given us three days of turnaround times, but the carrier pigeon intercourse takes two days, if has not received the reply, or rejects their requests, they will take immediately the action, bridges over Tigris River, toward the west, attacks and occupies more cities. Such will perhaps cause the panic of entire Empire, is extremely disadvantageous regarding Empire.” “陛下,这些唐人只给了我们三天的回复时间,但是信鸽往来都需要两天,如果没有收到回复,或者拒绝他们的要求,他们立刻就会采取行动,跨过底格里斯河,一路往西,攻占更多的城市。那样恐怕会引起整个帝国的恐慌,对于帝国极其不利。” Under the main hall, Minister Caliphate who puts on is bedecked with jewels, kneels to bend down on the ground, in fear and trepidation said. 大殿下,一名穿得珠光宝气的大食大臣,跪伏在地上,诚惶诚恐道。 „Useless thing! My these many military force(s), will the innumerable governors and General, don't tell me also be threatened by a heathen? Passes on my decree, these Tang People, together with dynasty remnant, annihilates entirely.” “没用的东西！朕这么多的兵马,无数的总督和将军,难道还会受一个异教徒威胁吗？传朕旨意,将这些唐人,连同王朝余孽,统统歼灭。” Moutassem III like a lion of enraging, angry heavy breathing. 穆塔西姆三世就像一头激怒的狮子般,怒哮不已。 Buzz, the flash, in the main hall a deathly stillness, all people knelt to bend down on the ground, the head hang the ground. 嗡,一刹那,大殿中一片死寂,所有人跪伏在地上,头颅都垂到了地面。 „How not to speak, speech! My that many military force(s), that many military commanders, couldn't don't tell me have eliminated the trivial 200,000 people?” “怎么不说话了,说话啊！朕那么多的兵马,那么多的武将,难道还消灭不了区区200000人吗？” Moutassem III angrily rebukes to say. 穆塔西姆三世怒斥道。 „Flight of steps leading to a palace hall, your majesty. The beforehand fight, Cairo, north and eastern part, all our military force(s) were sent Talas, the grand total to have close 500,000 military force(s) completely. Talas defeats, is almost annihilated, now we entire eastern part, has been at without soldier available condition.” “陛,陛下。之前的战斗,开罗、北部和东部,我们所有的兵马全部被派到了怛罗斯,总计有接近500000的兵马。怛罗斯战败,几乎全军覆没,现在我们整个东部,已经处于无兵可用的状态。” A Caliphate military commander makes excuses to say. 一名大食的武将支支吾吾道。 „So, Qutayba and *, are Empire has placed the first second formidable governor incessantly, entire Empire can with few that they place on a par, even if dispatches troops now , is very difficult to defeat them. Moreover military force(s) assembles is not the matter that 35 days can achieve, but if not accept these heathens' requests immediately, perhaps they will immediately bridge over Tigris River, attacks other cities, even the soldier is near...... Baghdad!” “不止如此,屈底波和艾布*,一直是帝国排名第一第二的强大总督,整个帝国能和他们相提并论的屈指可数,即便现在派兵过去,也恐怕很难战胜他们。而且兵马调集绝不是35天能够达成的事情,但是如果不立即答应那些异教徒的要求,他们恐怕立即就会跨过底格里斯河,攻击其他所有的城池,甚至兵临……巴格达！” Another military commander also emboldens to say. 另一名武将也壮着胆子道。 kā chā! 咔嚓！ Their voice just fell, in the main hall the sudden resounding, the Moutassem III five fingers receive, the throne arm rest on instantaneous right hand, pinches the smashing. But a he fair face, is becomes red incomparable. 两人话音刚落,大殿上突然一声脆响,穆塔西姆三世五指一收,瞬间右手上的王座扶手,捏成粉碎。而他一张原本白皙的脸孔,更是变得通红无比。 As the Caliphate Empire in history most formidable king, his first time was compelled not to have soldier available situation unexpectedly. 身为大食帝国有史以来最强大的帝王,他居然第一次被人逼到无兵可用的地步。 „Ten hundred million taels of gold, 1.00002 billion! don't tell me your meanings, want me to promise that Eastern avid follower, accepts his blackmail, gives them these many wealth!” “十亿两黄金,1000020000啊！难道你们的意思,是要朕答应那个东方狂徒,接受他的敲诈,将这么多的财富送给他们吗！” The Moutassem III look violent anger, eye gloomy is incomparable. 穆塔西姆三世神色暴怒,一双眼睛阴沉无比。 Ten hundred million taels of gold! 十亿两黄金！ Even if the Caliphate rich enemy, several hundred years of going on a punitive expedition against has plundered the valuables and money of innumerable kingdom and influence, accumulated the huge wealth, may regarding Caliphate this as before be a huge digit. 即便大食富可敌国,数百年的征伐搜刮了无数王国和势力的财宝,积累了庞大的财富,可对于大食来说这依旧是个庞大的数字。 „But your majesty, if we do not promise them, perhaps loss also more than ten hundred million taels of gold, they can from Khorasan toward east, capture the massive territories, 20 ten thousand military force(s) add on these to draft clever in fighting Eastern Empire Great General again, in a short time we radically irresistibly! Arrived even if finally we expel Empire them, only feared that is the loss is also serious.” “可是陛下,如果我们不答应他们,恐怕损失的还远不止十亿两黄金,他们可以从呼罗珊往东,攻陷大量的领地,20万兵马再加上那些能征善战的东方帝国大将,短时间内我们根本无法抵抗！到了最后即便我们把他们赶出帝国,只怕也是损失惨重。” Your highness, a Caliphate aristocrat, shivers the sound to say. 殿下,一名大食贵族,颤抖着声音道。 The eastern city is in imminent danger, that 20 ten thousand military force(s) stay in Khorasan, is ready, including does not put, this actually truly attacks compared with them must to shock, takes Caliphate Empire dozens cities as to coerce, in the name of war indemnity, proposed that asking prices of ten hundred million taels of gold, this matter is simply unprecedented, even if in Caliphate Empire goes on a punitive expedition against also never to hear unceasingly. 东部城池岌岌可危,那20万兵马停留在呼罗珊,蓄势待发,含而不放,这却比他们真正的攻击还要让人震撼,以大食帝国数十座城池为要挟,以战争赔款的名义,提出十亿两黄金的要价,这种事情简直前所未有,即便是在大食帝国不断地征伐中也从未听闻过。 However all people actually have to seriously consider, the opposite party has the strength to have the ambition, has the boldness, but from Samarkand to Khorasan, big piece falling to the enemy territory, already explained the opposite party is far from the lies threat. 但是所有人却不得不认真的考虑,对方有实力有野心,更有魄力,而从撒马尔罕到呼罗珊,大片沦陷的领土,也早已说明了对方绝非虚言恐吓。
