Chapter 1205: Wild Hope Kusi Lao
At the western foothills of the Green Mountains, the forests have turned red and yellow with the arrival of autumn, and the city of Dudta, located in the col, is full of Persians from Tocharian and Khorasan.
Many of them lived through the era of the Great Umayyad Dynasty, which had been destroyed and replaced by the Abbasids, who had been founded by the Great Cannibals and had taken many measures to curb the infidels, all of whom had gone bankrupt because of the poll tax on the infidels.
The bankrupt Persians either converted and regained their lives as rewards from the Great Cannibals, or they were destitute and reduced to slavery.
Many people are unwilling to change their faith, and they do not want to be slaves of cannibalism, so they choose to flee.
Now, exiles from far and wide have become the most loyal supporters of the Persian king.
Although Zamas is old, he has a shrewd, capable and young son. As the heir to the throne, Kusi Lao was ordered to recruit new troops, and "advisors" sent by the Tang Dynasty were responsible for training and commanding.
"Old Prince Kusi, Advisor Qin is the Yuan Follower of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has been fighting with the Prime Minister for many years, and he has been responsible for recruiting and forming a new army for the past two years.
It was Du Qianyun who spoke, and he had been in charge of the connection between the Zamas father and son and Qin Jin. During this time, Qin Jin would send messengers to Dutuo Duo every day in Anxi, explaining many tasks.
As for the method of dispatching "advisers," Du Qianyun felt that it was really very far-sighted.
Moreover, the Zamas father and son were also very satisfied with the "advisers" sent by the Tang Dynasty to help them train and command the army, although the merchants were rich, but they had never fought after all, so how could they command a group of rabble, how could they be against the big cannibals?
Batches of weapons and equipment seized from the battlefield were transported by camel caravans from the east of the Green Ridge to the city of Dutuoduo, and these Tang soldiers exchanged for considerable income from weapons that they could not use.
The young Kusi was covered in iron armor, and there was a hint of coldness on his angular face, and it was not until Du Qianyun spoke that a smile appeared on his face.
"Prime Minister, my father once said that as long as there is the help of the Tang Dynasty, the restoration of Persia is close at hand, but the cannibalism is better than the geographical advantage, and we have to find a way to expand the place as the foundation!"
These words made Du Qianyun look at him with admiration, and he didn't know if the young Kusi was suitable for leading troops to fight, but this person had some strategic vision that Zamas did not have.
Just in the western foothills of the Green Ridge, even if it is backed by the Tang Dynasty, it is very difficult to confront the Great Food Empire head-on.
"Where does the old prince of Kuth plan to expand first?"
Kuthlao's gaze turned to an open field to the south.
"Tocharian has changed hands since the defeat of the country, the great cannibals have given up Tocharo, and the Persians can't give up!"
After Zamas became the king of Persia, he set up a prime minister after the Tang Dynasty and appointed Du Qianyun as the prime minister.
Du Qianyun's heart moved, Ku Silao's plan coincided with Qin Jin.
Among the many letters of instruction given to him by Qin and Jin, it was emphasized that although it was located in the mountains, it was a hub in the four directions of east, west, north and south, but it was not suitable as the capital of a country
"Does the prince have any plans to move the capital?"
In Qin Jin's letters, it is almost impossible to defend the land of the four wars, especially in the face of Khorasan in the west. Moreover, it is difficult to support a city of more than 50,000 people, both in terms of population and arable land.
Tocharo's homeland of Fulousha is the most suitable place to build a capital, and the Hindu Kush Mountains stretching from northeast to southwest separate Tocharian and Khorasan, with only a few mountain passes connecting the two places.
The Great Cannibals gave up their rule over Tocharian because of this mountain range, the most important of which is the Khyber Pass.
But I heard Ku Si Lao hesitate and say:
"Let's talk about it first, does the prime minister have a suitable suggestion?"
Du Qianyun said word by word:
"Fu Lou Sha!"
Hearing this, Ku Si Lao raised his hand to support his forehead, and his face showed an excited look.
"Yes, yes, why didn't you expect it, this place is indeed very suitable!"
Located at the easternmost point of the Khyber Pass, Fulousha can hold back the cannibals with the treacherous Hindu Kush to the west, and to the south is a large area of cultivated land with a large population.
If you choose this place as the new capital of Persia, you can attack and retreat and defend!
"The prime minister has said that the war with the Great Cannibal may be protracted, and it may be difficult to achieve a final victory without a sustainable place as a foundation. One of the reasons why the Great Cannibals are now in a hurry is that their main focus is on the West, which is used to deal with the powerful Romans. The second is the crushing defeat of Yusuf and the sudden restoration of Persia, and once they are relieved, the situation is very likely to be reversed!"
"What the prime minister said is very right, Tocharian can indeed be used to develop strength, once it has a firm foothold, it may be possible to continue to the south and knock down the fragmented Tianzhu......"
Du Qianyun said secretly: Ku Silao's aggressiveness is really strong, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and now even the capture of Fulousha is in the plan, not to mention the entire Tianzhu.
"If you want to build a capital in Fulousha, you must capture the city of Huwen, which is at the westernmost end of the Khyber Pass and can be used as a barrier to the new capital. As long as we have a firm foothold in Fulousha, a plate of loose sand Tianzhu will be in the Persian bag!"
Du Qianyun's words made Ku Si Lao even more excited, just a month ago, the restoration of the country was still a distant dream for them, and now they have taken the first step, in Du Qianyun's description, he can already see the blueprint of the future belonging to Persia.
As soon as he thought of this, Ku Silao couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and blurted out:
"Prime Minister, when are we going to use troops against Fu Lousha?"
Du Qianyun didn't know what to move, according to Qin Jin's explanation, the next move was against the big cannibal, although the newly built Persian state could not be tough with the big food, but it must put on a tough attitude.
At least in the first stage, war should be used to promote peace, and the Persian state definitely does not have the strength to go head-to-head with the Great Food State in the short term.
The Abbasid Dynasty is also a newly established state, and its internal integration and external combat power are almost at the peak stage, once they fight back with all their might, the newly built Persian state will be in danger, and it will also be a great trouble for the Tang Dynasty.
What the specific plan is, Du Qianyun will have to wait for the next instructions, but the preliminary work of capturing Fulousha can also be carried out in advance.
Thinking of this, Du Qianyun felt that there was a task that was most suitable for Ku Silao.
