"The villain will definitely pass on the words of the old donkey, but ......"

Obviously, 100,000 dinars were dissatisfied with even this little "servant", and Qin Ying, who was standing behind the Persians, seemed to be even more dissatisfied.

Said had a hunch that if Abbas insisted on bribing the army to retire, it would be difficult to achieve his goal without being skinned.

Things have developed to the point where Syed did not expect, and the siege battle was not imminent, but evolved into Abbas being anxious to get out of trouble and actively seeking extortion.

However, he also realized that this situation was not a bad thing for him, but a great good thing.

As long as he can mediate in the play and achieve the goals expected by Abbas, his status among Abbas's staff will not only be a businessman who breaks his family and helps the country, but has practical value.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and these generals and princes who kill millions of people at every turn are also profit-seeking. If Sayyid had been doing nothing under Abbas's hands and not making achievements, sooner or later he would have been gradually alienated, so that he would have been thrown out of the upper circle of the Great Cannibals.

The stronger the Tang people and the more battles they won, the more popular a cannibal like him who is familiar with the Tang people becomes. After all, there are very few people in the Great Cannibal who are familiar with the Tang Dynasty, and even fewer can talk to the Tang Dynasty generals.

However, Said also knew in his heart that as long as he was marked with this kind of mark on his body, danger would always accompany him, and those high-level people who hated the Tang people would regard him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.

Fortunately, Abbas did not have such a person, he was a relatively pragmatic local governor, as long as he had enough value, even the most disgusted Persians could be entrusted with important tasks, not to mention that this person's affection for him was still very obvious.

After thinking about it, Said rubbed his hands together excitedly and nervously, and the unhappiness caused by the servant's rudeness suddenly vanished.

That night, the Persian rebels blew up a section of the walls of Mulu again, and Abbas's anger had escaped worry and fear, and it was a great humiliation for him that the Persian rebels acted so brazenly.

However, the governor of Khorasan had nothing to do about it, and since he did not have enough strength to solve the problem, he could only swallow his anger.

Abbas summoned Saeed overnight to inquire about the progress of his contacts with the Persians.

Once Saeed had determined the role he was going to play, he bluntly told Abbas that the Persians were behind the scenes.

"Tang people, could it be that the main force of the Tang people has already crossed the green ridge?"

According to the previous information, most of the main forces of the Tang people gathered in the four towns of Anxi at this time to repair, and there was no news that they immediately went to the river, so he was suspicious of Said's statement.

If the Tang people only sent a small number of men to the Persian army, how could they delay Ayi's 20,000 infantry troops? How dare they besiege Mulu City and collapse the city walls several times in a row?

Abbas recognized the support of the Tang people for the Persians, but did not believe that the Tang people had made themselves scorched with only a small number of people.

Because, once admitted, it is tantamount to an even greater humiliation for him.

Saeed also did not argue with Abbas, and could only let the facts teach the old donkey a lesson and make him admit the cruelty of reality.

Early the next morning, the inside sent the news to Said, and as expected, the conditions of 100,000 dinars were rejected.

Abbas was a little restless, this rare situation made Saeed feel very strange, this is a rare situation, although Abbas is old, but his style is still tough, what is going on today?

Putting aside this doubt, Saeed tried to get Abbas to give up his plan to bribe the Persians, which was of course a retreat as an advance, and the fundamental purpose was to find out what Abbas really thought.

Abbas immediately shook his head in refusal.

"You can't give up the negotiations, if you can't do 100,000 dinars, add another 50,000, although the Persians are greedy, they have never seen so much money, right?"

Said secretly slandered that Abbas was definitely not a qualified businessman, and such a roar of increasing the bargaining chips and bribes would only make the other party more greedy to ask for it.

"Your Excellency the Governor must not, this will make it seem that I am too hungry, and the Tang people behind the Persians will only ask for more and more sky-high prices!"

Hearing this, Abbas raised his hand and scratched the beard on his face, feeling that Said's words also made sense, but for a while he couldn't think of a suitable way to deal with it, so he asked:

"Tell me, then, what can we do so that we don't seem anxious?"

Saeed said:

"Be patient to talk, let them lose patience, take the initiative to make an offer, and then we will bargain, this is the best solution!"

Abbas laughed, this Said was too naïve, and made the other party lose patience, since they could blow up the city wall, they naturally had the capital to attack the city and win. He asked himself that if he were to change places with the other side, he would inevitably choose to take a risk, and it was clear that the pursuit of military victory was more attractive than the lure of money.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of bribery is to feed the Persian rebels with enough money to make it difficult for them to have more ideas under the temptation of money before arousing their greater appetite.

Seeing that Abbas had this attitude, Saeed could only smile bitterly, and then added 10,000 dinars to the original base.

Sure enough, he received the news of rejection on the same day, and he also offered a price far beyond Said's imagination.

"Five hundred thousand dinars?"

Even Abbas was almost shocked with his jaw, the money in the hands of the treasurer of Mulu City did not exceed 300,000 dinars at most, and now the Persian rebel lion opened his mouth, which was beyond the limit of what he could bear.

At this time, he could only sigh and say:

"Said, you're still right, you can't be too weak on these insatiable donkeys!"

It took him a long time before he could hardly say a sentence:

"Can you talk to them again, talk about ......?"

"What is the bottom line of His Excellency the Governor?

After pondering for a moment, Abbas held out three fingers.

"Three hundred thousand dinars, no more!"

Said knows the financial situation of Mulu City, 300,000 should be all of Mulu City's treasury, if it is all taken out, what else will be used for military expenses?

"Villain, please ask Your Excellency the Governor, once all the 300,000 dinars are taken out, the expenses of the army in the city will be ......."

Abbas:

"Can the Persian rebels take the money and leave, are they afraid that they will not have the money to pay the salaries......?

His idea was simple: as long as the Persian rebels withdrew, there would be plenty of room for everything to deal with, and his iron fist would be enough to solve the internal problems that were not a problem.
