Although the world that Xiao Wen resided in was very different from the original world, Xiao Wen did not care about that much.
At this time, the thing he wanted to do the most was to exaggerate the threat the Arab Empire posed to the Great Tang Dynasty in the west so that he could unite the Great Tang Dynasty with the other Chinese countries.
This was also what Xiao Wen felt that he should do the most as a descendant of the Yan Huang Clan.
But in reality, the threat the Arab Empire posed to the Great Tang Dynasty was not baseless.
In the history of the 751 A.D., there was a historic battle between the Great Tang Dynasty and Gluttony, the Arab Empire.
Although the exact location of Ross was not known, it was certain that it would be in the region of Taraz, on the adjacent border between Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, west of the Green Ridge (now the Pamir Plateau).
In the ten years of Tang Tianbao's history (July-August 751), the armies of the Anxi Capital Residence met with the Muslims of the Arab Empire and the allied armies of the Central Asian countries in this place and a war broke out.
In the period of Tang Tai Zong and Tang Gao Zong, the countries of Turkic Khan, Xue Yan Tuo Han, Western Regions and Western Turkic Han were destroyed one after another by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty expanded and began to rule the areas of Hetou, Desert South, Western Regions, Northern Desert, Annan, and so on. The small countries of the Western Regions, such as Ham, Shanshan, Kaochang, Yanqi, Turzi, Shu Le, and Yutian, were either forced to surrender to the Tang Dynasty or destroyed by force.
From then on, the Tang Dynasty established the Western Region's ruling system with the Anxi and Northern Court Capital Residence as the core.
At the same time, the Arabs of the Middle East were rising rapidly, starting with the Arabian Peninsula and expanding through the war into an unparalleled empire that spanned all three continents of Eurasia and Africa, occupying to the west the whole of North Africa and Spain, to the east the whole of Western Asia and much of Central Asia, and controlling the whole of the southern shores of the Mediterranean. The Arab Empire became another force beyond the Tang Dynasty that affected Central Asia.
At the beginning of the eighth century, the supreme governor of the Arab Empire in the east, Hajajajajib bin Yusuf, promised his two generals, Muhammad and Gutabe ibn Muslim, that whoever first set foot on Chinese soil would appoint as governor of China.
The former conquered India's frontier, massacring and driving out large numbers of non-Muslims.
The latter conquered large parts of Central Asia, such as Tulligan, Schumann, Tajastan and Bukhara, but none of them crossed China's borders.
In the third year of Kaiyuan (715), a joint Arab attack on the Central Asian State of the Syr River was defeated by the Tang.
The Arab Empire has great influence in Central Asia due to its great geographical advantage.
Originally, most of the Central Asian countries believed in Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, etc., or their own traditional religion. Feeling uneasy about the progress of Islamic culture, many countries asked the Tang Dynasty for help. It could be said that although there was no direct conflict between the two sides, there was a long history of conflict between the two countries.
However, the true cause of this war was the ninth year of the Heavenly Treasures (750).
Then you are the Great Tang Dynasty An Xi four towns, Gao Xianzi with Stone Country as an excuse, ”no courtesies”, to extort Stone Country.
Stone Country requests surrender, Gao Xianzi promised.
Not long after that, Gao Xianzi broke his promise and kidnapped Stone Country's king and his men, killing the elderly and children, and began the search for treasures.
After this war of national destruction, which was the first month of the Heavenly Treasure Decade (751), the High Immortal Sesame entered the dynasty and presented the captive kings to the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
Because of this, Gao Xian Zhi was awarded the right Yu Lin Great General and the King of Stone Country was beheaded.
At this time, Gao Xianzhi had reached the peak of his career.
On the other side, Stone King, who had managed to escape, turned to Black Food, the Arab Arrakish dynasty, for help.
So back in Central Asia, GaoXianzhi took the initiative to take the initiative and attack the big food.
