The Shenwu army arrived at the south, the westernmost place that the Chinese army had been able to reach for thousands of years. Of course, Qin Jin expected not only to stop there, but even to blow the Mediterranean Sea breeze in his lifetime.

However, after all, this is all in the future, and for him now, it is to be steady, and the key is to stabilize a rear that can launch frequent attacks on the Great Food.

Qin Jin had a clear understanding of the strategy of attacking the Western Regions, which could never be solved in a short period of time in one or several battles. It could be three or five years, or thirty or fifty years, and it's definitely a long process.

The Abbasid dynasty of the Great Eater entrenched in Ctesiphon was a new dynasty that had risen less than a decade, and his strength and strength were thriving. This was very different from the old and old Umayyad dynasty, so it was necessary to be prepared for a protracted battle.

The Persians, the Tocharians, the Bakhanna, and the Sogdians were all objects to be fought for.

The Abbasids, while gentle with these pagan peoples, were by no means friendly.

A punitive poll tax has bankrupted countless people, and the nomadic people of the northern steppes have also been subjected to a strategy of weakening restrictions.

Over the past hundred years, he has accumulated a lot of resentment, and of course Qin Jin will not let go of this opportunity. It is his ultimate goal to integrate all the enemies of the Great Eclipse and defeat this seemingly invincible giant at the lowest cost.

"Honorable Prime Minister, the villain has prepared the most sumptuous dinner for you, and all the subjects of Duduta are the supreme glory of witnessing the Prime Minister's face......"

Zamas, the king of Persia, bowed in front of Qin Jin and invited him to attend today's dinner with great respect.

In fact, the main purpose of this dinner was to introduce the powerful people of the small Persian court to Qin Jin, and if he could get his satisfaction and favor, it would definitely be harmless for the long-term development of the Persian state.

The life and death of the Persian state were determined by the hands of the Tang people, or even in the hands of Qin and Jin alone.

At that time, the direct descendants of the Sassanid king, Balus and Nineshi, personally rushed to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and begged Emperor Gaozong to send troops to help them restore the country. At that time, it was a period of the thriving development of the Tang Empire, and the request for restoration was politely refused, and only the general Pei Xingjian was sent to Anxi symbolically. The current Tang Empire had just experienced a civil strife, and if it weren't for the Qin and Jin Dynasty's efforts, it is conceivable that the imperial court would not have approved of this plan, which did not seem to be beneficial enough for the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Jin invited Zamas to sit down and began to ask about his background.

"I heard that you are a direct descendant of the king of Persia?"

This question was not very polite to Zamas, but it was another matter if the question came from Qin Jin's mouth, and he even replied with some pride and arrogance:

"The father of the villain, Pu Shang, is the fourth son of the Tang Dynasty Zuo Weiwei General Ni Nishi, and the villain's grandfather Balus is the son of the Persian king Yi Hei and the son-in-law......"

Qin Jin nodded, this is roughly consistent with the information he has, it seems that more than eighty percent of this old merchant is the great-great-grandson of the last Persian king Yi Hei Qi.

However, Zamas was too old to bear the burden of recovering Persia, and all this had to fall on his young and radical son, Kuslao.

"Old Kusi, don't you want to meet the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty?"

At this moment, a young man who was following Zamas stood up and bowed his head.

Qin Jin accepted it calmly, and the prime minister of the Heavenly Empire naturally had the demeanor he deserved.

This old Kuth has a series of beards, and he looks to be about forty years old, but in fact he is not more than twenty years old this year.

When the army was repairing in Shule Town, he saw the young man's name more than once in the official documents that Du Gan had transported back. Du Qianyun praised this person, but at the same time warned that this person may become a fierce rival of the Tang Dynasty in a few years.

In this regard, Qin Jin only laughed at it, when this attack and employment of people, if he looked ahead and backwards, how could he succeed? Even if this person may become the enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will be a matter of the future.

At least for now, Kuth is always the most suitable person for the Tang Dynasty to use in Tocharo.

"The villain Kusi is willing to be a pawn of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

Whether it is Zamas or Kusi Lao, they all use Chinese when talking to Qin Jin, although they speak very bluntly and unfamiliarly, but it can be seen that they have indeed worked hard.

"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, Kuth Lao, the glory of Sassanid Persia will definitely be able to reappear in your hands!"

Qin Jin said this, both praise and encouragement, if the other party is a Tang person, he will definitely feel that this is an insinuation, the frightened soul does not possess the body, and restoring the glory of Sassanid Persia is equivalent to breaking away from the Tang Dynasty and standing on his own, which is an out-and-out rebellion.

The Persians are different from the Tang people's habits, and Qin Jin can naturally say the words of praise straightforwardly, and at the same time, it is also a subtle hint to help him restore the country.

Sure enough, Kuth Lao bowed and said:

"Even if the villain sheds the last drop of blood, he will not live up to the high hopes of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Jin smiled:

"Yes, your Chinese is right, let's talk about the plan for the restoration of Persia. ”

In fact, Du Qianyun relied on Zheng Xianli and Qin Ying's army, as the prime minister of the Persian state, and controlled the large and small government affairs of the Dutuoduo court, and he still knew quite well the thoughts of Zamas and his sons, and had already informed Qin Jin of their psychological tendencies one by one.

First seize the Kushan homeland in the south of Tochar as a foundation, and only in this way can we advance and retreat.

Moreover, the affluent South Asian subcontinent has an abundant food output and a large population, which can provide a steady stream of goods and manpower.

Most importantly, the indigenous people living in the South Asian subcontinent are cowardly, hard-working, and easily tamed and served.

This land was later known as India, and the indigenous people who lived there for generations were enslaved by the Aryans, Turks, Mongols, and British.

Therefore, Qin Jin was sure enough to conquer and control there.

Ku Silao's views were also roughly the same as those of Qin Jin.

"The natives of southern Tocharian are dark and short, gentle and cowardly, and slave traders everywhere regard them as their best prey, and the villain dares to swear in front of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty that only 10,000 people can conquer that vast borderless land!"

In fact, the lands south of Tocharia were not terra nullius, but were similar to Tocharian in the case of hundreds of princely states, large and small. Those princely states may have a population of tens of thousands, and as many as hundreds of thousands.

Ku Si Lao dared to say such a conclusive statement, and naturally he was very clear about this situation.
