"Huwen City is already in the hands of the Shenwu Army, and Fulousha is also determined in a blink of an eye, you just have to wait until the beginning of spring......"

"No, the last general plans to leave immediately, time is victory, while the various departments in the river are still in a scattered situation, control them in applause as soon as possible, and the prime minister's westward expedition will be more smooth. ”

Zheng Xianli was anxious to go to the river, and Qin Jin was very moved by his fighting spirit, but more important than that was safety.

If any of the generals had an accident, it would be a loss that Qin Jin did not want to see, especially since the mountains were covered by heavy snow in the north, and it was not easy to have a safe past.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jin shook his head and said:

"It's still safety first, even if it passes after the beginning of spring, it's only four or five months late!"

Zheng Xianli further argued:

"Four or five months is enough time for a lot of things to happen, after the fiasco of the Great Food in Mulu City, it has completely lost control of the river, and without a leader of the dragons, it is inevitable that the Zhaowu countries will not resurge!"

Zheng Xianli's mouth of the country of the nine surnames of Zhaowu is the Sogdians, and the Qin and Jin dynasties are more accustomed to calling them Sogdians, these people are good at business, and their attitude towards the Tang Dynasty is also wavering, so Gao Xianzhi has attacked the Zhaowu countries several times.

The first to bear the brunt was Shiguo, but it was a pity that Gao Xianzhi did not help in the imperial court, but was also suspicious of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji because of his efforts to destroy the country.

After the destruction of the Shi Kingdom, the Zhaowu countries were basically afraid of the Tang Dynasty like a tiger, for fear that they would follow in the footsteps of the Shi Kingdom, so they took refuge in Da Shi one after another.

A large part of the reason why Yusuf of the Great Food Kingdom was able to easily cross the Green Mountains and invade Anxi was because of the great assistance of the Sogdians.

Of course, the Sogdians could not afford to make a profit, and while they helped Da Shi to attack Anxi, they also attacked the forces of the steppe that depended on the Tang Dynasty, and after the victory, they also grabbed a lot of money.

After Zheng Xianli's army was defeated, he was in the middle of the river and had a clearer understanding of the situation there, which is why he was so anxious.

Qin Jin thought for a while, but still shook his head.

"It's too dangerous to cover the mountains with heavy snow!"

"Please rest assured, the last general has found the most experienced guides, and they all have the experience of successfully climbing the mountains many times in winter!"

Zheng Xianli's attitude was very resolute, and in the end Qin Jin agreed, but he repeatedly told him that he must be fully prepared before he can set off.

Later that day, Orissa, the guardian of the city, was escorted to Gandhara.

At this time, Orissa has completely lost his original arrogance, and after becoming a prisoner, he regretted it more than once, if he had agreed to Abu's request, he should have been a guest of honor for the Persians and the Tang people at this time.

Qin Jin looked at this lost Tianzhu man, his eyebrows obviously had the typical characteristics of the Caucasian race, but the skin was deep and close to reddish-brown, which was also a typical feature of the Tianzhu people.

"You're the defender of Guardian City, I've heard of you!"

Orissa didn't expect that it would be a Tang man who received him, he always thought that the Persians had risen to the throne, and now it seems that there should be Tang support behind this.

And the Persians were just puppets of the Tang people, not at all the cooperative relationship he had imagined.

"The villain is the defender of the city. ”

"The king of Gantuo has just died, and the newly succeeded king is not friendly to you, right?"

Qin Jin got straight to the point, but he didn't know what to say about Orissa, so he had to nod his head and agree.

"The new king wants to get rid of you as a warlord, in other words, even if I don't come to attack you, the new king will definitely send troops to fight you!"

Speaking of the new king of the Gantuo Kingdom, the humility and hesitation on Orissa's face actually swelled up with a trace of disdain for a moment.

His disdain was directed against the new king of the Ganda Kingdom.

"As long as I want, I can lead troops over the Hindu Kush Mountains at any time and make him my prisoner!"

Qin Jin smiled playfully and asked:

"Then why don't you do it?"

Orissa was stunned for a moment and said:

"Isn't this in time? It's planned to be in the spring, but it's ......."

The implication is that it was preempted by the Persians and the Tang people.

Qin Jin laughed, although this Orissa is a little stupid, but his temperament is also direct, he can also see from Orissa's contemptuous attitude that the court of the Gantuo Kingdom in Fulousha should be incompetent, in the past, when the old king was there, Orissa would still have some scruples, and now there is naturally nothing to fear.

"If I can make you the king of the country of Gantuo, how will you repay me?"

"I, the king?"

Orissa was completely stunned, he didn't understand what this young Tang man had planned, as a prisoner, he was already mentally prepared to be sold as a slave, how could he still be made a king?

In Orissa's knowledge, the defeated who have never been forgiven, and it is common practice in this land that all the defeated will become slaves of the victor!

"Is this true?"

The interpreter couldn't convey Orissa's nervous tone vividly, but Qin Jin could still see some eyebrows in his shocked expression.

"Of course, Zamas was restored with my support!"

"Zamas?"

Zamas, as a well-known Tocharian merchant, has long been known to everyone, especially the restoration of Persia, which declared himself a descendant of the Sassanid royal family, which led the princely states of Tocharia to feel a lot of threat.

Orissa was no exception, and the reason why he did not climb over the Hindu Kush in the autumn to overthrow the new king was largely due to fear of the Persian king Zamas, and he planned to wait and see until next year.

It is a pity that this wait-and-see lost the opportunity to climb over the Hindu Kush.

Qin Jin said coldly:

"As long as I want, even if I am a slave, I can be the king here!"

Suddenly, Orissa shuddered, and the eyes of this young Tang man were as sharp as lightning, so that he did not dare to look directly.

Subconsciously, Orissa said like an extremely tame loyal dog:

"Villain, villain is willing to do it, to be the most loyal servant of the general!"

He didn't know that Qin Jin was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know how to call him, so he was expedient to be called a general.

At this time, the interpreter reminded him on the side that in front of him was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the ruler of hundreds of millions of Lishu.

Orissa suddenly realized that the king of the Tang Dynasty was honored as the prime minister, and immediately pointed to the sky and the earth to express his willingness to be the most loyal eagle dog and slave of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, what he was thinking about in his heart was Qin Jin's promise, if he could become the king of the Gantuo Kingdom at this price, what could he not do?

Qin Jin had a smile on his face again, stood up, and said slowly:

"Good, good, I hope to see the head of the king of the Gantuo Kingdom within thirty days!"

His tone was lighthearted, as if he was just blowing off a speck of dust......
