Pei watched Mosremasa leave.

He didn't expect Mosremasa to agree.

Credit is important, but as long as the gains and losses of interests exceed the weight of credibility, no matter how trustworthy a person keeps his trust, he will not stick to the bottom line.

Mosremasa is not Kahtaba.

If Kahtaba killed Lei Wanchun in today's battle, Pei would not be embarrassed by him.

It is not worth losing personal credibility and the promise of the Tang Dynasty for a Kahtaba, but Mosremasa is worth this amount.

As long as Mosremasa dares to cross the Kabul River, he will never be able to go back alive.

Pei also believed that Mosremasa also had the same meaning.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Neither Pei nor Mosremasa would take this risk.

Today, it is enough to take advantage of the West's atmosphere of paying attention to face and fighting for duels, which is enough to eliminate Kahtaba.

When Pei saw Mosremasa leave, he said with some caution: "Today, this lion king suffered a loss. At most, three days will lead his troops to attack. Make all preparations for battle and defensive measures. You are the people I trust the most, and I will give you a clear idea in advance. In this battle, we will fight around the Kabul River and the Xindu River in the south. Using these two rivers as strongholds to resist Arabia to head north. In this battle, we have only one task. Keep the north bank of the Xindu River and the east bank of the Kabul River."

"As for why I fight like this, I won't explain it. You will know later. Whether my Tang Dynasty can pass this test depends on whether we can defend the river... This time I will fight side by side with the dukes and must resist the thieves on the other side of the river!"

The generals behind him were convinced by Pei Youyou and shouted loudly.

Feng Changqing also obeyed the order and arranged for the defense of the Kabul River.

At this time, the Byzantine messengers also arrived at the Tang camp.

Mosremasa returned to Peshawar in a panic.

Mosremasa didn't care too much about Kahtaba's death.

After all, in the West, duels are very sacred, and death means that they are inferior to others and cannot blame others.

But he felt a little frustrated in his heart. In this fight with Pei, he was at a disadvantage again.

The main purpose of this meeting with Pei Bijiang was to disagree.

Pei led the army alone, and also led the military, politics and finance power alone.

Even if he, the younger brother of the Arab king, does not have this power, once loyalty and doubt, the overall situation of the Western Regions will be won without a fight.

However, Pei Yun calmly resolved it, which made him lose a general.

But it wasn't that there was no gain at all. At least Pei's intention was to see it.

Mosremasa thought about Pei's layout in the Kabul River, and could not understand Pei's intention for the time being, and asked, "If it were you, how would you fight?"

Abu Muslim pondered for a while and said, "The end will be the city to defend, with Hesina City, Luolan City, and Huwen City, these three cities will be guarded. Hesina City is the peak, Luolan City, and Huwen City is the left and right horns, assisting."

"This Hexina City is the capital of Caojuzha Country, and the king is the clan of King Kang. Kang Country is the largest vassal state among the nine surnames of Zhaowu and the strongest supporter of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the daughter of the general of the Kang Country's military married Wang Zhongsi, Pei's brother. With this relationship, the relationship between Caojuzha Country and the Tang Dynasty is certainly not bad. Hexina City is also a rare city, and with Luolan City, the protection of Guwen City is far easier to defend than the Kabul River."

Mosremasa said, "We thought of going together. I also thought that the hardest bone to crack this battle was Hexina City. Hexina City could not penetrate, but there were our people in the city of Huwen City. Hexina City was not a problem. But he gave up on the city and guarded the river bank. He really didn't understand what he was thinking. The Kabul River should not be as important as he imagined. Why is it easy to give up and difficult to do? This is not Pei's style..."

He didn't quite understand why Pei attached so much importance to the Kabul River.

After a long silence, Yihe said, "No matter whether you really plan to block me on the bank of the river, just try it out. Abu, immediately arranges craftsmen slaves to build river crossing boats and bamboo rafts, fight a war, everything is clear."

The Byzantine messenger was a very handsome young man, about the same age as Pei, both of whom were around thirty years old, gentle and gentlemanly.

"In the Roman Emperor Constantine V, I met Duke Pei. I have heard of Duke Pei for a long time in Constantine. I have never met him for a long time. I am sorry I didn't have the chance to meet him. This time, I begged my father to meet him. It is true that I am not as famous as meeting him. Duke Pei is wise and majestic, which is really impressive."

The handsome young man certainly speaks Greek.

Pei didn't understand. After listening to the translation, he realized that the young man in front of him was actually the Byzantine emperor. He hurried forward to meet him: "I don't know if it was the emperor of your country who came in person, Pei Youshi was welcomed."

Pei didn't know much about Byzantine culture, he just understood a rough idea.

As the saying goes, there is no day, and there is no two masters in the country.

But in the West, in Byzantine, this statement does not exist.

Constantine V was the emperor of Byzantine, but the real ruler was not him, but his father Leo III, who was also the emperor of Byzantine.

After Constantine V was baptized, Leo III appointed his favorite son as the emperor of the same dynasty, that is, two emperors in one country.

From Pei's perspective, it's a mess, but there is no objection to Byzantium itself.

Constantine V was very capable. After sitting down and greeting each other, he did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "This time I was on a mission to discuss some alliance details with the Duke of the State to fulfill the responsibilities of the allies. Before, Mosremasa intended to attack Constantinople by surprise, and was the Duke of the State to see through the plan first. My father and I were deeply grateful for this matter. Now that the war begins, our country will fulfill its agreement, but I don't know where our country can help you?"

Pei thought for a while and said, "First of all, protect Constantinople. You know better than me about the strength of Arabia. They are fully capable of opening up multiple battlefields in a short period of time. Constantinople is the greatest support."

Pei remembers that at the peak of Arabia, five battlefields were opened, from southeast to north to all directions.

Constantine V said solemnly: "Thank you for your concern to the public. Our country will not dare to relax its defense again in this matter."

"Secondly, I need your country to support some military rations. This battle has a lot of logistics pressure on our army. If your country can provide some food, I will be grateful. Of course, this is not free. I can use our country's porcelain, medicinal materials, tea, silk, and coins to exchange."

Compared with grain, porcelain, medicinal materials, tea, silk, and coins, it is obviously easier to ship.

Constantine V said: "This matter is for me, and I will raise as much food as possible to support your army."
