Chapter 1224: Nameless Riverside Scheme

Abbas's performance did not disappoint Abbas, who used his cavalry superiority to launch a series of attacks on the Persian army, which finally led to their separation, and Abbas decided to concentrate all his efforts on annihilating the rear flank of the stragglers, and then wait for an opportunity to deal with the part that left first.

The petty anger of the attacked camp quickly subsided, and he began to calmly direct the movement of the large army, gradually forming an encirclement of the Persian army that had fallen behind.

After a day and a night's work, Abbas's uncle and nephew finally met on an unnamed riverbank.

Abbas, who had always been steadfast and strong, burst into tears in an instant, and now he was moved to see his dear nephew as his heir after more than a month of defeat that he had never experienced in his life.

Iprasimho had seen his uncle cry like a child like this, and he was a little helpless at first, but he immediately began to comfort his uncle, so that he did not have to worry about victory and defeat in one place and one place, and sooner or later, the army of the empire would crush everyone who dared to challenge, including the Persians and the Tangs.

The autumn breeze on the river beach was bleak, and there was already a faint posture of winter, and Abbas gradually regained his calm, a pair of old eyes looking into the distance deeply, reflecting anxiety in his eyes, but also with love and hope for his nephew.

Abbas was satisfied, and Iprahim grew up, and although he did not perform well in the pursuit and annihilation of Pakhana, he always maintained the superiority of the main cavalry force over the majority of the rebels with a small number of troops, which was extremely valuable.

Whether in the river or in Tocharo, Iplasin's cavalry was always on the attack.

"Iprasin, how long will it take for your cavalry to annihilate these rebels?"

"Uncle, although my nephew's cavalry is sharp, if you want to annihilate all the more than 10,000 rebels, I'm afraid you will need the assistance of the infantry!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Abbas's face. He was deliberately testing his nephew's abilities, and if Iplasin directly promised that he could wipe out all of them, he would have to reconsider the choice of heir.

The heir of the governor of Khorasan must not be a man of rhetoric, otherwise he will end up worse than Yusuf.

With this in mind, Abbas tapped Iprahim twice on the shoulder.

"Let's go, follow me by the river!"

There must be a lot to say, and Iprasin is keenly aware that his uncle's heart has changed like never before.

Abbas looked across the river to the southeast, where there were tens of thousands of trapped Persian soldiers, and with a single word, he could leave these poor foolish people dead without a place to bury.

If ten years ago, he would have given the order without hesitation, without a single delay. Now, however, he has a more conservative approach.

"The Persians will definitely come back to save their countrymen, now is not the time for a decisive battle, all you need to do now is to keep harassing them in order to completely destroy their fighting spirit, so that they lose all their fighting power and become a flock of lambs to the slaughter. ”

Iprasin says:

"Is my uncle going to use these stupid asses as bait?"

Abbas sneered.

"The Persians have robbed a lot of goods in Mulu City, and now it's time to pay the price!"

Seeing his uncle's frosty expression, Iprasin shuddered.

However, he had spent several months with the Persians in Tocharo, and was well aware of the cunning of the Persians, and that his uncle's tactics might be useful against the barbaric and simple Romans and Khazars, and that he might be ......

But Abbas's authority was unchallengeable within Khorasan, and since his first steps had been successful, the Persians would not necessarily be bargained.

After all, my uncle has been in the empire for more than 20 years, and his tactics and strategies in using troops are not comparable to that of Iplasin, a young chick who has just taken off.

Iplasin nodded solemnly.

"Uncle rest assured, my nephew will live up to his mission and expectations!"

The harassment of the cavalry intensified, and the encirclement of the infantry tightened, but the decisive battle with them was delayed.

It can even be said that the decisive battle is avoided.

There were hundreds of Tang soldiers in the Persian army that was surrounded in the middle, and they were all the elite of the Shenwu army.

This elite was supported by a young general, who sat in the depths of the tent at sunset, the flames of butter wax flickering, and a sharp face was reflected in the uncertain weather.

"Abbas is really a gluttonous fellow, does he think that he can eat 20,000 Persian troops with this alone?"

A young man in a long shirt who was also young smiled and chimed in:

"Of course it can't be, the prime minister's soldiers and horses have already marched west seven days ago, and they will cross the Green Ridge in the near future, and by that time, the thousands of miles west of the Green Ridge will be under the deterrence of my Tang Dynasty soldiers. Everywhere the Shenwu Army goes, it has become the territory of my Tang Dynasty!"

The young man's name was Du Zhou, and he was Du Qianyun's son.

Although the Jingzhao Du clan is not comparable to Cui Lu and other big surnames, it is also a local family. Du Qianyun's branch, as a side vein and distant branch, can be regarded as broken, but as his status rises day by day, his status in the sect has also risen.

Du Zhou, as Du Qianyun's most valued son, naturally would not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as the prime minister's personal expedition.

He had just rushed from Anxi to Nantuoduo, and he came from Duoduo to meet Qin Ying non-stop.

The risks taken during this period are naturally very large, there are many forces in the west of the green mountains, and the big cannibals frequently send troops to suppress the rebellion.

However, the young man was young and vigorous, convinced that fame should be won immediately, and resolutely took more than 100 followers into the dangerous place.

Qin Ying looked down on businessmen in her bones, especially someone like Du Qianyun who was good at flattery, but Du Zhou's good impression on him surpassed his bad feeling for businessmen.

"Brother Du is willing to take a risk to report the news, Qin admires it, please accept this worship!"

Du Zhou hurriedly supported Qin Ying, who was bowing down, and the hands of the two young people were tightly clasped together.

"When this country is thriving, it is the time for my generation to expand the territory and make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy, the younger brother only hates the power of the chicken, and cannot personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and now he can follow the prime minister, and have the opportunity to make some small contributions, and he is already satisfied......"

Du Zhouyan must be called meritorious, but Qin Ying is not disgusted, in his opinion, meritorious service is the lifelong pursuit of the husband, even if he speaks out, it proves that he is straightforward, and will not be like the hypocritical attitude of those princes and gentlemen in the court.

Qin Ying only felt that Du Zhou was very right about her temper, and immediately laughed.

"Brother Du, don't worry, you and I are under siege at this time, and we will soon have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

Du Zhou came here to report the news, and the second was to convey his father's intentions, so that Qin Ying should return to Dutuoduo as soon as possible, and not easily fight with the big cannibals, in case of irreparable losses, it will cause trouble to the prime minister's plan.
