Mahdi, as the main general who sent troops to aid Khorasan, was not acceptable in Said's view, and from the perspective of this person's greedy and changeable character, he may not be a talented person, if he is a big food soldier led by a fool, it will be difficult to pose a fundamental threat to the Tang soldiers.

As the Caliph's favorite son, Mahdi's travels were really different, and as soon as he arrived in the city square, he could already hear the sound of people and the neighing of war horses one after another.

Said had never seen such a magnificent spectacle, only for the sake of a prince's journey.

Mahdi seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and when he habitually waved his horsewhip, the eunuchs around him had already understood it, and ordered the commander of the cavalry to urge his troops to leave the city slowly and quickly.

"Your Royal Highness, the villain thinks that if you sweep the eastern and western countries, you will definitely succeed!"

Said learned a lot of new words from the Tang people, and although the kung fu of slapping sycophants seemed superficial and ugly in the Tang Dynasty, it sounded very fresh and useful to the great cannibals who had just been civilized for more than a hundred years.

Therefore, the more Mahdi looked at this businessman named Said, the more he liked it, and even deliberately kept this man with him. After all, such a sensible, talkative, and capable minister is rare even in the talented Ctesiphon.

Usually talented people will always have such and such character shortcomings, and everything is good, which is really rare.

Abbas has always been known for his strength in the Hashem family, and the people who can be used by him are first-class talents.

The fact that he was willing to hand over such an important matter to this merchant shows his trust in Said.

Yes, Mahdi's attitude is also excellent.

"Messenger, please keep up, the Great Eclipse Cavalry is like the wind in the sky, the electricity in the clouds, the slightest carelessness will be left behind!"

Said laughed.

"The villain is fortunate to have opened his eyes today, even if he is left behind, it is worth it!"

In fact, although Mahdi's brush was exaggerated, the formation of the Great Eater cavalry still stunned Said.

The cavalry moved one person and a thousand people moved, on the endless plain, suddenly rushed, suddenly rushed left and right, although it was just a game of hunting, but such an arm and finger and full of fierce courage, whether it was the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty or the cavalry of the grassland barbarians, it was difficult to do this.

The army of the Tang Dynasty was known for its excellent military discipline, but it was too strong, and the grassland barbarians were too aggressive enough.

Said secretly lamented that it was not a fluke that the Great Cannibals were able to conquer the Persian homeland in just a few years more than a hundred years ago.

As the speed of the cavalry increased more and more, Said gradually felt that he could not bear it, and he only brought two war horses to change, while the cavalry of the Great Food was one man and three horses, and hardly slowed down to rest.

What he had thought of as a horse tour had become a rapid march, and Said was miserable, and his butt was almost falling apart when he was jolting on his horse, but he still couldn't catch up with the group.

And Mahdi, who seems to be in a good position, has always been in the ranks, and the banner that follows the prince has always fluttered in the middle of the team.

At this time, Sa'id seriously considered whether there was a side of Mahdi that he did not know, and it seemed that the caliph might not have favored this son only out of love for the younger son.

By noon, the new capital of Baghdad was in sight, the rudiments of palaces and mosques on the earthy ground had been connected, and the dust raised from the construction site made it seem as if it were in a fantasy world.

There is no end in sight to the huge construction site, only the Tigris River on the east side quietly goes southeast.

This is what the Caliph called the Eternal Palace, and it is not the first time that Saeed has been staggered.

Leaving Ctesiphon at an early age, the Great Eclipse left him with more of a chaotic market and greedy tax collectors. Decades later, I suddenly saw a big food that was completely different from what I remembered, and I couldn't help but feel excited.

This mighty empire is becoming the revered ruler of the East and the West, and the caliph is on the veritable king of kings.

For a moment, Sa'id wondered if the Shenwu army from the east could defeat the caliph's loyal warriors.

Before he could think about it, Mahdi had already driven his horse to his side.

"The Caliph has decided to name the new capital the City of Peace!"

"Peace?"

The caliph always has amazing moves, and Saeed is a little confused, this caliph, who has been keen on war and expansion since the beginning of his succession, actually wants to name the new capital "City of Peace", which is really unexpected.

"Is the caliph intent on stopping expansion and war?"

Mahdi laughed meaningfully.

"How is it that the messenger is confused, conquering all the countries of the world, and making all the kings prostrate at the feet of the great caliph, isn't the world truly peaceful?"

Hearing this, Said was stunned. It turns out that the so-called "City of Peace" is actually explained in this way.

He didn't know what to say for a while, such an arrogant goal, although the Great Food National Force was strong, I was afraid that it would be difficult to support it.

Mahdi seemed to see through his thoughts, and said:

"The caliph set this goal, and it is also an inspiration to those who come after him, not to forget his mission!"

As he spoke, he suddenly sank for a moment, and then said quickly:

"The caliph's goal in this life is Constantinople in the west, and the Tang Dynasty in the east ......"

The silence said it all, and after Saeed understood the meaning, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that as long as al-Mansur is still caliph, the military strategy of first the West and then the East will not change.

In other words, al-Mansur did not regard the Tang Dynasty as a positive opponent, and as for the Shenwu Army, in the eyes of the great caliph, it may have been just a mischievous earth rat.

Thinking of this, Said smiled.

"Does the messenger think there is something wrong with the caliphate's established strategy?"

Mahdi saw disapproval in Said's eyes.

Saeed knew that Mahdi was a very smart man, and if he covered it up now, he was afraid that it would be counterproductive, so he said bluntly:

"Despising the enemy of the East may bring unexpected results!"

It was very tactful, but Mahdi still heard it.

"Are you saying that the combat effectiveness of the Tang soldiers is far beyond the imagination of the caliph?"

Then he nodded.

Also, Abbas, who had always been known for his constant victory, now gave up his face and sent an envoy to Ctesiphon for help, which can also prove that the Tang soldiers were not incompetent. ”

However, Mahdi then snorted contemptuously.

"The Tang people are thousands of miles away from their homeland, even if they win for a while, how long can they reduce their holdings?"

Said was sympathetic, and said in his heart that this prince was by no means as superficial as he appeared, and he actually knew the situation of the Shenwu Army alone.
