By the time Fakhr al-Din returned to Viramala City, there were nearly ten thousand Arab soldiers who had escaped and surrendered to Tang Ping's army, but they finally returned to Viramala City.
From here, you can return to the territory of the Arab Empire by heading west.
It's a pity that after being delayed for so long by Tang Ping, Li Jing finally came with his army.
"Ping Guo Gong, you have become famous in one battle this time!" Li Jing looked at Tang Ping and sighed. Who would have thought that the young man who came to the Tang Dynasty and would vomit when seeing people killed would now be able to stand alone.
The so-called becoming famous in one battle is definitely no joke. He and Duan Zhixuan not only wiped out nearly 200,000 enemy troops, but also held back the enemy's reinforcements. In the end, they were unable to catch up with the reinforcements in the east.
Although Fakhr al-Din went to the east, he could not change the final battle situation, but it would definitely bring some trouble to Li Jing's army.
"It's all thanks to Lao Duan." Tang Ping said modestly. He went back to modern times a few days ago and found that Duan Zhixuan was out of danger, which made him feel relieved.
"What should we do now?" Tang Ping asked, looking at Viramala City.
"Let them surrender!" Li Jing said: "The Arab soldiers now have no fighting spirit. The only way to go is to surrender."
"Yes!" Tang Ping nodded in agreement: "Then Duke Wei will send someone to persuade him to surrender!"
Li Jing asked curiously: "You are proficient in Arabic. Wouldn't it be best for you to persuade him to surrender?"
If he could persuade the Arab army to surrender, it would also be a great achievement. Who would have thought that Tang Ping would give it to him without even thinking?
Tang Ping touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "I've used a lot of dirty tricks with Old Duan along the way. I'm afraid the Arab general won't like me very much, and he probably won't believe what I say. I'm afraid if I go It would be counterproductive.”
Li Jing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into laughter: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. You already have insufficient troops. How can you win without using a strategy?"
These were his words to comfort Tang Ping, but it was really inappropriate to persuade Tang Ping to surrender. The general on the other side would definitely be angry when he saw Tang Ping.
We found an Arab prisoner of war with a relatively high status and released him.
Tang Ping told the captured Arab general Asir about the treatment and conditions of the prisoners in the Tang Dynasty.
Asir came to the gate of Viramala City, and a hanging basket was picked up for him.
"Hmph, Asir, do you still have the nerve to come see me?" When Fakhr al-Din saw Asir, he said to his guards: "Take him out and kill him!"
Asir was held up by Fakhr al-Din's bodyguards and shouted loudly: "The Tang Dynasty is willing to let you go back to the country!"
Just this sentence, Fakhr al-Din was shocked, and then quickly shouted: "Wait a minute."
After the guards put Asir down, he walked up to Asir and asked, "What did you just say?"
"The Tang Dynasty is willing to let you go back to the country!" Asir looked at Fakhr al-Din and said again: "The coach of the Tang Dynasty is their military god Li Jing. He said that as long as you surrender, he will let you go back to the Arab Empire."
Fakhr al-Din also knew from the defeated army how they were defeated by Li Jing. It can be said that in addition to using tricks to deceive the Arab soldiers in the five major cities into staying in the city and not dare to come out, Li Jing almost always used scheming to defeat him openly. The army of the Arab Empire.
So Fakhr al-Din still respects him very much.
"What else does he have?"
Fakhr al-Din did not believe that Tang Dynasty would let him go like this.
"There are no other conditions. He said that as long as you are willing to let the Arab soldiers in Viramala City surrender, then it is up to you to decide whether you want to stay or go."
Fakhr al-Din's face was uncertain and he began to hesitate.
Of course it's good to be able to return to the country, but if you go back alone with an army of 200,000, how can you reap the rewards?
Even if the Council of Elders does not kill him by then, he is afraid that he will throw away his aristocratic status and become a commoner.
If you become a civilian, how will people you didn't deal with in the past treat you?
I'm afraid that his body will appear in the moat the next day.
"What about you?" Fakhrdin asked suddenly, looking at Asir.
"Me?" Asir hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "General Li Jing said that as long as I can convince you to surrender, he is willing to let me serve as an official in Datang in the future."
He had some friendship with Asir in the past, so he was chosen as a lobbyist by Li Jing.
He approached Fakhr al-Din and whispered: "You have also seen how powerful the Tang Dynasty is. This time our 600,000-strong army was lost here, but they only lost tens of thousands."
"And do you think that now that our empire is so empty, the Tang Dynasty will really stop at Viramala City?"
Fakhr al-Din thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "No, if I were a general of the Tang Dynasty, I would definitely attack the Arab Empire now while it is weak."
"Yes!" Asir said: "There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that smart birds will always choose the best trees as their habitat, so I advise you to make more plans for yourself."
"The Tang Dynasty is really willing to appoint our Arab officials?" Fakhr al-Din asked with some disbelief.
Asir nodded and said: "You don't know yet, right? When you were preparing to attack Kosaro City, the people who charged you were not the real Tang army. They were all subordinate countries of the Tang Dynasty. Their own The country is governed by their own people.”
"In their words..." Asir thought for a moment and said, "Yes, just follow the Tang Dynasty to have meat to eat!"
Fakhr al-Din was moved by Asir's words. Instead of returning to the Arab Empire alone and then being killed by his past political enemies, it seemed that it would be better to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
"If I surrender, what kind of position will Datang give me?" This is what Fakhr al-Din is most concerned about.
Asir pointed to his arms and said, "Here is a document given to you by General Li Jing, the head coach of the Tang Dynasty."
He took it out and gave it to Fakhr al-Din. Fakhr al-Din opened it and looked at it. It was actually written in Arabic.
The general idea is that as long as he is willing to surrender, all the surrendered Arab soldiers will be handed over to him in the future, and an Arab Production and Construction Corps will be established, and he will become the commander of the regiment.
Moreover, the work location of this Arab Production and Construction Corps is still in the Arab mainland, which means that they do not have to leave their hometown.
Seeing this, how could Fakhr al-Din not know that Datang was indeed going to invade the Arab Empire itself? Otherwise, how could he say that the Arab Production and Construction Corps he led would stay in Arabia in the future?
"General Fakhr al-Din, as long as you sign now, you will be the commander of the Tang Arab Production and Construction Corps, and I will be your deputy."
Asir looked at Fakhr al-Din with burning eyes.
