I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Naturally, there is nothing you can do about beliefs. Datang does not force everyone to believe in a religion. As long as it is not a cult that hurts nature and reason, then you can believe in whatever you like.

But other things, what the Persian Empire can give, Datang can not only give, but also allow you to get more.

Zhang Nuo knew that some people were already hesitating, so after thinking about it for a while, he directly offered new chips.

As long as you are willing to join Datang, immediately dispatch the airship to go directly to the other party's hometown, pick up all the wives and children, and then the whole family will live in the territory of Datang.

And let the other party choose without directly paying the settlement fee, Zhang Nuo was very "considerate" and gave three ways for the other party to choose.

If you are brave and want to fight, you can join the army. You don't need to go to battle to kill the enemy, but you have to be responsible for interpreting and leading the prisoners during interrogation. This is the real leading party.

The second type is a little safer than the military. It is mainly to take the administrative route and be responsible for the management of the future garrison and the new territory that Datang has conquered in the future. After all, for Datang, managing a new territory and new people, The first thing to solve is the communication problem. If even communication is an obstacle, then don't do it.

Of course, there is a third type. To be a teacher, you don’t need to go to the army to eat sand, and you don’t need to deal with caravans and tricksters every day. As long as you can teach the students arranged by Datang well, then you will never eat or drink. Worry, Datang will support you for the rest of your life.

This is the one that Zhang Nuo hopes the other party will choose the most. Even if no one chooses, Zhang Nuo might try to force someone to choose.

However, judging from the feedback, these people are not fools, and most people choose the third way.

To put it bluntly, they are all sensible and smart people, and it is impossible for them to be selected by the Persian Empire to pretend to be caravans as spies.

And in this era can speak Datang official dialect.To put it bluntly, they all went to Datang with the caravan, and they are the people who understand how powerful Datang is.

And as long as you are a businessman, you will instinctively calculate the gains and losses.

They also understand that whether they are in politics or in the army, relying on their status as foreigners, it is no problem to support their families, but it may be difficult to get to a certain position.

But being a teacher is different. Not to mention the psychological burden, as long as you teach seriously, you are just sitting at home and waiting for the credit to come to you.

Even the most flexible mind has already thought of how many nobles, officials, and generals he is likely to teach in the future, and how brilliant his family will be.

Chapter 1010 The Rich Tang Dynasty

In the current land, Zhang Nuo is the biggest leader. As long as he is not a rebel, he can decide the life and death of everyone with one word.

Even everyone under Datang's command is under his control, let alone a few prisoners who have just been captured.

Zhang Nuo didn't delay, and directly arranged several airships overnight to pick them up at their hometown.

This kind of thing is actually not too different from the sneak attack of airdrop personnel at night. It is all about concealed entry, waiting at high altitude, and quick pick-up. I don’t know how many times the Air Force gang has practiced it. It doesn’t matter if you close your eyes, but it is really very proficient. .

Of course, you can't completely follow the example of a sneak attack. After all, if you really follow that, there will be a scene of calling for aerial bombing.

Sending people over this time is actually very simple. It is to secretly put people in an open space a little far from the city under the cover of night, then quickly lift off, cruise at high altitude and wait for a day, while surveying the surrounding terrain and making marks.

And these newly-promoted citizens of the Tang Dynasty who have been put down will rush into the city at night, and then spend a day cleaning up the soft, gold and silver in the house, and then come out in the evening to board the airship again at the old place.

In fact, there is no risk in this. If those people openly say surrender and then sell Datang, there must be risks in it.

But Zhang Nuo thought about it for a while, and felt that they could accept these risks, not that they could afford to lose, but that many risks could be avoided.

For example, it is impossible for the other party to contact the forward team that is about to reach the Datang camp in one fell swoop, because they don't have that means.

Then they contact the local garrison at most!

But the Datang faction only had an airship in the past, what are they going to do with it?

The airship is in the sky, and they are not even afraid of seeing it, so what can they do, it is out of reach.

If you want to lay an ambush and occupy the airship when it comes down to pick up people, then you are probably thinking wrong. Even if the airship lands at night, there are strict defense regulations. required.

At least in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, unless the commander is on the battlefield, no one can make the airship ignore the surrounding area and make an emergency landing.

What's more, when they landed before, it wasn't just the captives who were released. In the early morning of the second day after they left, Datang released a small group of his own people.

They don't have to do anything else, just hide and observe for a day, and the airship will land only after they confirm safety and give a signal.

Otherwise, the airship troop would foolishly choose an open place and land without knowing what their weaknesses are!

A day later, all the airships successfully connected the sent personnel and the families and property of the captives to the airship again.

The family members of the captives who boarded the airship for the first time, with almost no one to support them, could not even walk normally, and fell to their knees on the ground with weak legs, murmuring or talking nonsense or praying.

Fortunately, there are many people on the airship, and the big guy smiled and dragged these people to the airship. Except in his own base, the airship will not stay on land for a long time in a war zone or enemy land. It is a serious dereliction of duty. If it is recorded, it will be held accountable at that time.

However, they quite understood the behavior of this group of people. After all, when they entered the army for the first time and saw these behemoths, they might not forget their feelings until the day they died.

That kind of admiration, pride, fear, and bewildered mentality is really too powerful.

To put it bluntly, it is no longer a matter of touching a blind spot of knowledge, it is a matter of being shattered face to face with the world view.

It is also because they have all experienced this kind of thing themselves, so for these prisoners, oh, they can't be called prisoners, but now they can barely be called colleagues. Will they empathize with the family members of colleagues who have never seen the world?

No, they laughed very happily.

I just like to see you guys who have never seen the world, I am very happy to see you.

In fact, Zhang Nuo knew very well that among the captives who surrendered this time, there must be many or even most of them who were coerced into joining Datang.

After all, people use knives and I do fish. This knife is on your neck, and you are still in Datang's barracks. Can you still escape?

So Zhang Nuo knew very well that there must be someone making some tricks in the middle!

But should he care?

Datang's style has always been to crush all the way upright, and he doesn't worry about your betrayal after surrendering. It's not because of the Holy Mother or arrogance, but in Datang's view, if you have such an opportunity and don't grasp it, then there is nothing to say That's right, it's a matter of a knife, and the bullets don't need to be wasted.

After all, the gap between Datang and other countries is visible to the naked eye.

Sure enough, when these captives and their families arrived at the base and saw the giant steel ship hundreds of meters high, all kinds of miraculous armaments and food, they instantly understood that they had gotten lucky.

That's right, food is what they feel the most about.

To put it bluntly, whether the warships are powerful or not, and whether the firearms are mighty or not, even their patriarchs, those who have been in the caravan before and went to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, they actually don't understand.

This is like modern people suddenly seeing a spaceship popping up above their heads one day. I am afraid that everyone will only say that it is so powerful, fierce and amazing, but no one knows how powerful it is.

But if a small anti-gravity car pops out of the spaceship, which is still a cool one, then everyone will understand, wow, so powerful.

That's right, it's just such a concept. Some things are beyond comprehension. I don't even know how far my original world is from this standard. I only know how awesome it is, but I don't know how awesome it is. .

But some things are still familiar to them, and they can understand and clearly know how big the gap is.

When these people were captured before, they didn't eat well or badly, but they were very satisfied at that time.

But now they see that in the entire camp, everyone is queuing up to eat delicious dishes, noodles, and rice. They know this.

This is something that nobles can't eat every day, but here every soldier can eat it, and it looks like it's used to it. What does this mean? the empire.

Chapter 1011 The Unavoidable War

After all the family members of the captives have been arranged, there are actually quite a lot of changes brought about!

After all, if there are locals who can communicate, then you can learn more internal information.

The so-called intelligence does not necessarily have to be military or political major actions. For Zhang Nuo and the Tang Dynasty he represents, even the introduction of the customs or the history of the other party is actually useful. of.

For a country, especially a hostile country, or the kind of hostile country that will never die, it is not only necessary to disintegrate the opponent by force, but also to confront it from various aspects such as economy, politics, and culture.

The premise of confrontation is to understand, if you don't even know who the opponent is, how many people are in the family, how many acres of land per person, and how many cows are in the family, then you are not afraid that there are only three people coming out from the opponent, but you can fight against them. I was hitting, and suddenly found that after the whistle was blown on the opposite side, seventy or eighty relatives suddenly appeared from behind?

So, Datang will not stop to conquer the whole world anyway, so whether it is the Persian Empire in front of you or the Byzantine Empire in the distance, you will be beaten anyway, why don't you take this opportunity to learn more?

And the more you know, the more secure you will be about future strategies.

However, those are all things in the future. Zhang Nuo will probably be a salted fish at home by then, so he can only read the news from the newspapers.

He still had to focus on what was in front of him for now.After all, the elite Persian troops that they had been watching the whole time were finally arriving.

Speaking of which, these people did not expect at all that Datang would be able to expand the detection range to more than a thousand kilometers on the enemy's land.

This is Zhang Nuo's so-called crushing situation, not only crushing by force, but also crushing by equipment and tactical thinking.

According to the practice of this era, if you can put the detection range and scouts tens of kilometers away, you are already a very cautious general.

But Zhang Nuo, relying on the magic weapon of the airship in his hand, if he turns on the energy-saving mode and cruises at the lowest speed, the range is really scary, especially since the demand for manpower and materials for the scouting mission itself is not as great as usual. Most of the ammunition stored on the airship, food, water and other resources necessary for survival have been moved down.

Just a few people, with enough resources for survival and missions for a few people, it can really carry it, and it really floats in the sky all the way without ever coming down.

But the effect is also amazing, that is, the monitoring of the other party has never been broken from beginning to end. Even at the most terrifying time, four airships hovered above the other party's head. Squad, an airship will slowly cross the sky and follow.

With these guarantees, the other party was really working under Zhang Nuo's nose. Even because the high-altitude reconnaissance mission was too leisurely, the investigators were bored from counting the number of people who often appeared. Nicknamed.

If intelligence and reconnaissance have achieved this level, if people can still be caught off guard or deal with failures, then it can only be said that Datang's commander-in-chief is worse than trash.

But fortunately, Zhang Nuo thought that although he was not a peerless general, after so long, he could barely be regarded as a qualified general. Although his fame was much greater than his ability, he still had some foundation.

And after nearly 20 days of stop-and-go and long-distance travel, the attacking force that Datang had been waiting for for a long time finally came to Datang.

But at this time, the Datang camp was no longer the tents everywhere they had imagined. Facing them was a large trench nearly one kilometer deep.

Of course, they don't know what a trench is, but they know that there are such "ditches and ridges", and they don't want to rush the cavalry smoothly.

Moreover, what makes them most desperate is that even if they rush over, what they are facing is not the tent they imagined, but a wall. Yes, the commander of the Persian army is going crazy at this moment, why? The information he received said that there was only a small fishing village here before?

Such a three-meter-high city wall can only be found in a small fishing village?

If it was just a wooden city wall, he wouldn't be too surprised. After all, this place was originally an oasis, and there were quite a few big trees around it, so it would be fine to cut them down and build a camp wall.

But the thing in front of me is obviously not made of stone.

How can he rush over here?

He has no siege equipment at hand!

However, at this moment, he couldn't allow him to think too much. Tomorrow, everything will be decided. It's just a city wall. It's not like he hasn't breached a town with a city wall before.

Whether it is going through the city gate, or finding a way to rush up the city wall at that time, he will always find a way at that time, after all, he has no way out.

Datang's method of coming from the sea and landing in Persia has already pushed the Persian Empire to the edge of a cliff.

To put it bluntly, Datang stole all the way back. Could it be that they turned a blind eye to so many soldiers from the Tang Dynasty appearing on their own land?

They no longer think about why Datang was able to bring so many people here, how they came here, and what their purpose is...

These are no longer important.

After all, everyone has already arrived at the door, so what's the use of thinking about the reason and process?

The only thing they can do now is to try their best to drive Datang into the sea and guard their own country.

They were just the vanguard, and there was actually a large army on the way behind, but because they had excitedly deployed heavy troops in the direction close to Datang.

Therefore, it will take a while to draw troops back from the defense line. After all, the Persian Empire is not a small country, and its land area is really not small. In addition to the preparations for the deployment of supplies, it really takes a while. I can come later.

Therefore, the goals of their vanguard force are two, one is to explore the reality of the Tang Dynasty, and see how much water is in the fighting power that is blown up to the sky, which is almost like a fairy tale.

The other purpose is to restrain Datang's footsteps. Although they still have doubts about Datang's combat power, judging from Datang's ability to throw troops from the ocean behind them, they can It can be seen that at least Datang's deployment of troops at sea and transportation capabilities are much better than theirs.

Then they can't let Tang go away. If the soldiers of Tang Dynasty here go directly, and continue to land and attack other cities in the Persian Empire from other places, will they still have to live?

Therefore, war is inevitable.

Chapter 1012 The Never Counseling Datang

Logically speaking, now that the enemy has already approached the city, Zhang Nuo should be fully armored, sit in the middle army, and command calmly.

But in fact, Zhang Nuo really didn't feel nervous at all, and he even wanted to laugh and resent.

It's not just him, the other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty actually think the same way.

Nima, I have waited for you to come. If you don't come, I'm afraid we will all have to start reclaiming farmland, laying roads, and building new cities.

In the recent period, these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still have half of their high-spirited appearance on weekdays. They are all greedy for work with cement and building walls, or digging trenches and pulling wires. Anyway, none of their military skills are doing well. It's all hard work.

As the saying goes, it's a bang, then it's exhausted, it's been so long, it's strange that I still have that kind of energy in my heart.

At the very beginning, everyone thought that they were preparing for the upcoming war, so their spirits were naturally too high, good guy, digging a trench like a groundhog, waving military equipment with pouted buttocks digging and planing Shovel, the dust is flying all over the sky.

But by waiting left and right, and working first and last, they not only dug trenches around the camp, but when they had enough time, they also pushed the trenches forward by 100 meters, forming a segmented position in front and back. , it can be said that the amount of engineering has been magnified several times.

But it just happened that the war life and death that I had agreed with them a long time ago just didn't come!

This makes these Tang soldiers who wish to fight with others with their knives every day so that they can earn some military merits a bit unbearable.

They dare not complain, after all, it is not a good thing to have resentment in the military center, and there are special military laws to deal with it.

But just because they don't complain, doesn't mean they don't complain about their hands and feet.

If they were still at the groundhog level at the beginning some time ago, then at this time they have been reduced to the Erha level of digging the soil, digging a few times when they are interested, and then yelling at the people next to them listlessly Sound, if you are more thoughtful and plan a few more times, the efficiency is very different from before.

But everyone knew in their hearts that this was just killing time, and there was no need for such a large area, so the officers just turned a blind eye, after all, they themselves were not very comfortable in their hearts.
