Chapter 1299: Thoughts turn to Chang'an

The episode in the small town of Sylvan could not be a reason for Qin Jin to stay here for a long time, and it was in front of the Gorgan battle that really worried him.

Leaving the small city that had suffered a fire, ignoring the failed assassination, before dawn, Qin Jin rushed back to the military camp overnight.

Because when he came back, there were only a very few subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion who knew Qin Jin's whereabouts, so there were few people who greeted him. Without any sound, Qin Jin returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the official documents accumulated on the desk were already two large stacks like a small mountain.

This is still after the scrivener's screening and selection.

Now, he has a headache when he sees Kumon, as if as soon as he opens his eyes in life, he will be Kumon except Kumon.

After first inquiring about the movements of the big cannibal, and then learning about the situation of several generals, after knowing everything, Qin Jin leaned on the military couch and squinted his eyes.

The bumps of the night were so tiring that I was already snoring in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, the snoring didn't last long, and he was quickly woken up by the attendant.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, General Abu urgently asks to see ......"

"Abu?"

The sleepy-eyed Qin Jin reacted for a while before he came back to his senses from the haze, and immediately asked Abu to be invited in.

Abu was a Persian who had converted to the Great Food Sect, and his family was also a native of Khorasan, and during the Zhangye period, he was established as a model for the captive rebels.

Now, Abu, who has become a general of the Tang Dynasty, can be regarded as prosperous, and his status is far better than when he was under Yousufu, and his family has also been stained because of this, and he has obtained many important official positions in Mulu City.

The situation is still unstable, before defeating the main force of the Great Food Army, Qin and Jin have always adhered to the policy of Huairou, governing the local area with locals, only adding a small number of Han people to the key official offices, and at the same time only using the Shenwu army to firmly control the place.

It is precisely because Abu's family has benefited greatly from it that this person has worked even harder on the key issue of the Western Expedition.

"There are several tribes that have contacted the villain, hoping to serve the prime minister, if the prime minister allows it, it will add another boost to my Tang Dynasty's expedition to the west!"

Qin Jin snorted, noncommittal.

He should have been ecstatic to have an enemy defecting, but he had been on the battlefield for a long time and knew the treacherousness of the battlefield, and until the last moment, he could not know whether these blades of grass riding on the wall were friends or foes.

However, since people took the initiative to contact, they couldn't help but respond, and after thinking for a while, they said:

"You can talk back, hold your arms for the time being!"

Hearing this, Abu was a little surprised and asked:

"Why, isn't this supposed to let them surrender immediately, which will not only blow the morale of Mahdi's army, but also increase the strength of my Datang......"

Qin Jin smiled and shook his head.

"No, no, no, it is more useful for them to stay with Mahdi, and in the future, the fierce battle will reach the critical point, and the defection of these people will be able to give full play to their role!"

It was as if a word woke up a dreamer, Abu patted his head again and again, and praised him repeatedly.

"It's still the prime minister's foresight, and the villain will arrange it!"

Abu was just about to leave, but Qin Jin stopped him again.

"You say, do the people of Khorasan welcome more Datang, or do they like to eat more?"

Abu habitually rolled his eyes and said:

"If you have to let the villain say, Khorasan likes the one with less taxes, if the Tang Dynasty collects less taxes, he likes the Tang Dynasty, and if the big food collects less taxes, he likes the big food......"

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then grinned again:

"As we all know, the Great Food imposed a hefty poll tax on the heathen, and many of them were forced to go bankrupt and flee their homes. In addition, in order to preserve the family property, the whole family converted to the Great Food Sect, and the villain's family is like this. Now, the newly-born child in the family, Allah Allah, who has just learned to speak, I don't know how many years later, I am afraid that the Persians will become spiritual slaves of the Great Food!"

When he said this, Qin Jin could see obvious fluctuations in Abu's eyes, and he really couldn't see that such a person who could change his faith at will still had a trace of ideals in his heart.

However, ideals can't be eaten as food, so, under the pressure of big food, he not only converted to the big food religion, but also changed the name of big food. In fact, Abuke was a Persian through and through.

Qin Jin Dao:

"After the Great Cannibals are completely driven out of Khorasan, do you think about returning to the faith? The Tang Dynasty has always treated all sects fairly, the poll tax on heretics must be abolished, and at the same time, the ownerless land will be redistributed to those Persians who have gone bankrupt because of persecution!"

The main ethnic group of Khorasan is the Persians, and the Great Cannibals, as invaders, are mostly dependent on the regime and the army, and once the army and regime of the Great Eclipse are destroyed, they want to keep the plundered property, which is simply a fool's dream. This is not allowed on either side.

Abu hesitated, but said:

"These measures, the prime minister is still too early to say, as far as the villain knows, many people are on the sidelines, if Gorgan fights and completely defeats Mahdi, if it is better to capture or kill Mahdi alive, those who are still waiting will definitely stand firmly on the side of Datang!"

Of course, Qin Jin knew what Abu was referring to, after all, the political center of the Tang Dynasty and the mainland were thousands of miles away from Khorasan, and the locals were naturally afraid that after the Tang people retreated, the Great Cannibals would make a comeback and be retaliated against.

It makes sense to wait and see.

"You're right, everything doesn't start until you win the battle in Gorgan. However, the families that can be contacted now must also actively contact them. In short, after the Great War of Gorgan, the Great Cannibal base in Khorasan must be uprooted!"

Abu understood and cautiously withdrew.

After talking for a while, it was already three poles outside. Boundless sleepiness hit, and Qin Jin couldn't help but lean on the military couch and snore.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear someone whispering to him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Princess Shou'an, whom he hadn't seen for a year.

The princess had not had a moment of quiet and joy with him since she became his wife, and after a hurried meeting there was endless conquest and busyness, and even after the eldest son had fallen to the ground, the number of times she had seen her could be counted on one hand.

In the spring, Chang'an sent a letter that the princess gave birth to his second son, and few people around Qin Jin knew this news until now.

Sometimes, Qin Jin even felt that he had become a machine, and it was difficult to rejoice because of some things, and at the same time, it was difficult to be angry because of some things.

The formation of this kind of character made him calmly withstand and survive the huge pressure, but after all, he lost the joy of being an ordinary person.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister......"

Suddenly, an ethereal call made him open his eyes, and Zheng Xianli's axe-like face appeared in front of him.
