Chapter 1185: Anxi looks ahead

In the days in Jiuquan, it was the most beautiful and proud of Abu's life, and even Hasim, who looked down on him in the past, rushed to speak kindly. This greatly satisfied his vanity.

When a person is quiet, Abu will unconsciously sigh again and again.

"When I set out from Khorasan, I never imagined that I would be treated like this in the Tang Dynasty, and I only hated to defect to the prime minister!"

The current Abu can already be described as dead set on the young Tang Dynasty prime minister.

Qin Jin gave him a glory and status that he had never had in more than forty years before, and even the most elite Shenwu army of the Tang Dynasty showed great respect when they came into contact with him. This kind of politeness and unprecedented open-mindedness is beyond the reach of the savage and stingy cannibals.

"Brother Hasim, I can't sleep every night now, and I'm always thinking about what year and month will the prime minister's kindness be repaid!"

Of course, this is Abu's show off in front of Hashem, on the one hand, to show his sincerity and fear, and on the other hand, to make Hashim understand that he is not even qualified to be so honest.

Hasim sighed as well.

However, his sigh was more of a sigh for his own proficiency, and he asked himself that he was far stronger than Abu in terms of ability and wisdom, but Abu, a fool, had become the most showy person, and he had the largest official position.

After many generals learned of Abu's situation, they were already full of energy, waiting for the Tang Dynasty to launch another cannibalistic war, and at that time, it would not be finished until everyone cut off hundreds of heads.

Even Hasim had this thought in his heart, and he couldn't keep being pressed by the stupid donkey Abu.

Think about it, Cheng is also very kind to him, I don't know how many times higher than what Yousufu gave, don't think about it when you go back.

Turning his head to look at the ambitious Abu, Hasim wanted to laugh in his heart, he knew that the prime minister's purpose in rewarding this man was only to stabilize the general's morale and motivate them to use it in battle.

Now, this goal has been achieved, and Abu's use value will naturally become smaller and smaller with the passage of time, and the stability of the demotion of troops and generals.

"Brother Abu, you have to prove that you are brave and irreplaceable, so that you can be honored in front of the prime minister, otherwise we will be compared to others sooner or later!"

He said this very sincerely, Abu thought seriously for a while, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he asked a little:

"Do you have any good ideas for Brother Hashem, and I will repay the Prime Minister ......?"

Hasim further said:

"If Brother Abu intends to repay the prime minister, the best thing to do is to defeat Yusuf!"

"What, defeat Yusuf?"

Abu's voice rose abruptly, followed by a palpable look of disappointment on his face. How could it be possible to defeat Yusuf? Thinking that the once invincible Yusuf had swept through the middle of the river, and that both the Sogdians and the steppe barbarians were trembling at his feet, what was his ability to defeat him?

Therefore, Abu was not ashamed to admit his incompetence, only to see him spread his hands.

"No kidding, Brother Hasim, how can I defeat Yusuf, who is as strong as a lion?"

Although Yusuf was beaten by the prime minister, he still didn't think that he could target this former lion in the river at will.

Abu scoffed.

"Lion? That was once upon a time. Now Yousufu can only be a sick lion at most, what are you afraid of? Don't forget, behind you and my brother are standing millions of strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Hasim's last sentence made Abu a little moved, if he could defeat Yusuf, maybe he could also make a governor in the river or Khorasan, and the governor was the highest governor in the region, which was something that he had never dreamed of.

"Okay, just listen to Brother Hasim, I will immediately go to ask to see the prime minister, and strive to be the vanguard of this invasion of Qiuzi!"

When Qin Jin learned that Abu planned to be the vanguard of the westward expansion of Qiuzi, he agreed without thinking about it, but he still carefully inquired about Abu's thoughts and specific strategies.

Abu scratched his head and smiled:

"The villain only thinks about repaying the prime minister's kindness, and he hasn't thought about the specific details......"

Qin Jin nodded, and thought for a while before saying:

"It's okay if you haven't thought about it, Qin has a way, if you can strictly implement it according to your words, you can ensure that you can enter Qiuzi safely!"

"Really, really?"

Abu didn't have the slightest doubt about the young prime minister's assurance, he just didn't believe that he actually had this kind of good luck, or that it was the favor of God, and even the prime minister gave him advice.

Abu was still a little apprehensive, and asked about Ai Ai:

"The villain is just a general, why is the prime minister so good to the villain?"

After all, the Persians are no better than the introverted Han Chinese, and many things are asked in person.

Qin Jin paused for a moment, and immediately responded with a smile:

"You just do it, don't be afraid, there are 100,000 Datang elites behind you!"

Although he did not answer directly, Abu's mood stabilized, and he began to talk about the specific number of troops he led.

After all, his old troops had been broken up in the previous battle, and they were later collected in the Persian barracks. All surrenders are generally reorganized according to regions and tribes, and they are not called surrenders.

For example, the Persian troops were uniformly taken in the Persian barracks.

Qin Jin thought for a while, stretched out five fingers, and said:

"Five thousand!"

With the Prime Minister's assurance, Abu easily found his old army, but there were only about 2,000 people in the full battle, and he had to select 3,000 men from the Persian camp to make up the number of 5,000.

However, there was not enough supply of horses, and most of them had to serve the Shenwu Army. This did not bother Abu, who brought a lot of camels to carry with the army enough to last for a month.

As for drinking water, it is definitely impossible to carry so much, and even if it can be carried, it will quickly deteriorate and stink under the scorching sun, and eventually cause many symptoms such as diarrhea.

On the road from Jiuquan to Qiuci, there is a large seasonal river, which is just in time for the dry season, but there are many oases along the river, which serve as a water supply for the army along the way.

When he came, Abu had followed the Great Food Army once, and now that he had a guide to lead the way, he still had great confidence that he could successfully walk through the Gobi Desert.

The date of departure was quickly determined, just two days later.

Hasim was amazed at how quickly Abu was effective, but he arrived in time to see him off, and said goodbye to his brother Abu with tears, wishing him to defeat the invincible Yusuf in one fell swoop.
