Du Zhou immediately patted his head and said with some excitement:

"Needless to say, if there are really 600,000 dinars in the army, naturally they will not give up easily......!

Before he could finish his sentence, a lightning bolt outside without warning startled both of them.

When Qin Ying and Du Zhou both came to their senses, they both looked at each other in unison, with a mysterious smile on their faces.

The swelling of the nameless river brought opportunities and troubles to both sides of the riverbank.

But in Abbas's eyes, it was clear that the opportunities outweighed the troubles, and that evening, he was in a good mood and had another hearty lamb feast with his nephew Iprahim.

"Look, as long as they make a slight move, it's our uncle and nephew's chance to be ashamed."

Iprahim disagrees with his uncle.

"Uncle is brave and wise, those rebels just took advantage of the incident, and now as long as my uncle uses his ordinary energy, those earth rats will not immediately scatter and flee for their lives?"

This night, he was a little drunk, the Persian wine was soft and sweet in the mouth, but the stamina was not small, compared to the spirits produced by Dashi, the taste was different, and the feeling was also different.

Although Abbas warned his nephew not to be proud and underestimate the enemy, he was still very flattered by his nephew.

The humiliation suffered by Mulu City has always been a hidden pain in his heart, and he has lost his old face, not to mention, I am afraid that he has become a laughing stock among the princes of the court of Taixifeng.

In order to block the mouths of Youyou, the only way is to completely eliminate this group of people who embarrass themselves.

Now, with this goal only one step away, and seeing that the Persian rebels besieged by the river are about to enter the Jedi, they are about to take risks, and all hope is already close at hand.

Suddenly, the servant hurried in, holding a roll of parchment in his hand.

Needless to say, Abbas also knew that it was a military report from across the river.

"Read it!"

The servant obediently unfolded the parchment and began to read the words in his voice, the contents of which were the usual daily reports of the Persian army.

The uncle and nephew didn't pay much attention, and waved their hands, so that the servant could withdraw without anything else.

Iprahim discovers that the servant is not an ordinary person, but a eunuch.

He lowered his voice.

"The servants beside my uncle can be compared to the caliph, and if someone with ulterior motives sues him to Ctesiphon, I'm afraid there will be some trouble!"

Since the Great Cannibals replaced Sassanid Persia, they have copied the traditional customs of the Persians, among which the use of eunuchs in the court of the supreme ruler has continued.

The authority of the caliph was far greater than that of the previous Persian kings, and the constraints on the ministers and princes were naturally much stronger.

Although the use of eunuchs was not explicitly limited to the court of the caliphate, ordinary princes and ministers did not dare to use it lightly.

For Abbas, what was once a semi-overt use of eunuchs as a sense of superiority to highlight one's own merits has now become a fig leaf that borders on psychological comfort.

In order to prove to the world that he is still the invincible governor of Khorasan who has made countless feats for the empire, he must put everything that can elevate his status on the bright side.

In the past, he only shouted eunuchs in his governor's palace, but now he openly brought them to the army.

And the effect of this behavior has basically achieved what Abbas expected, many generals in the army have calmed down and stopped making useless guesses, and the prestige of His Excellency the Governor has not been diminished by the disgrace of the city of Mulu.

Now, everything is moving in the direction that Abbas expected, and the Persians are fighting the trapped beasts, and this heavy rain will inevitably give them the courage to take risks. And all Abbas uncle and nephew need to do now is wait quietly, waiting for their changes.

Iprahim yawned, and Abbas glanced at him disapprenanently.

"Don't worry, Mansur is at war with the Romans, and he has no time to look east, and now he still needs his uncle to stabilize the land of Khorasan and the East, the Persians are back, and the Tang people are eyeing each other, how could he cut off his own arm because of a few eunuchs?"

Abbas was right, as the second caliph of the Abbasids, al-Mansur's main goal, like the previous caliph, was to destroy the Romans in Asia Minor, drive the barbaric pagans back to the other side of the sea, and occupy their Constantinople.

Only in this way can the supreme authority of the caliph in this world be established.

The war against Rome had been going on for more than five years, and Mansour had mobilized almost most of the forces in the western part of the empire, and Abbas had played an indispensable role in stabilizing the empire as governor of the east.

Moreover, Abbas was also a very ambitious man, and in order to echo Mansur's war against Rome, he launched an eastern crusade against the Tang Dynasty with only the strength of Khorasan alone.

Of course, this is not Abbas's hubris. Before starting the war, he had already made full preparations, and learned from the countless merchants who had returned from Chang'an to Khorasan that the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of unprecedented turmoil and rebellion, and even the capital city had become a tragic battlefield.

The Tang Dynasty frontier forces in Anxi also returned to the east at this time, and in the face of these circumstances, at least at the time, launching an eastern crusade seemed to be a very correct decision.

But who would have expected that when he ordered the Eastern Expedition, the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty miraculously ended, and the Tang Dynasty, which ended the civil strife, immediately broke out with jaw-dropping strength.

Things are embarrassing here, and Yousufu, who has been advancing all the way, suffered an unprecedented fiasco in Zhangye, the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

These are really unbearable things for Abbas, and sometimes he even regrets that if he had made up his mind a year earlier, he would not be in the situation he is in today. Perhaps, he has become a prince comparable to the first caliph of the Abbasid dynasty, even if he replaces al-Mansur.

It's a pity that the situation is not shifted by Abbas's will, and it has ended up at this point today, which really feels like a dream.

Thinking about the battle to reclaim the meagre 600,000 dinars, Abbas had a raging tide in his chest.

After drinking one pot after another, the uncle and nephew went from slightly drunk until their bodies were fluttering, and their eyes were foggy.

Fortunately, this painful process is coming to an end!

The servant crept into the tent again.

"This is an emergency military report on the other side of the river, please open it for the owner!"

All the military newspapers that need to be opened and read by Abbas himself are extremely secret, Abbas's wine suddenly woke up, grabbed it in a few steps, opened the oil-soaked waterproof cover in three or two, pulled out the leather paper inside, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the contents on it.
