After confirming the complete withdrawal of the Persian rebels, Abbas began to organize his men and horses, and actively considered attacking the Persian rebels in front and rear with the returning Iprahim.

What happened to Mulu City was the greatest shame of his life, and I am afraid that it will be indelible from now on, and the governors of Ctesiphon will also laugh at him with contempt.

Moreover, the people who laughed at him were the people he used to look down on, and it was unsettling to think about it.

"Brother Said, I want to lead the army to fight in person, you must defend Mulu City for me!"

Faced with Abbas's entrustment, Saeed did not dare to accept it and hurriedly refused.

"Said is well aware of his abilities, and I am afraid that I alone will not be able to intimidate the forces in the city, and maybe even arouse the discontent of some people. ”

I am afraid that many of these people are proud soldiers of the Abbasid family, how can they be willing to be ridden on the head by a skillful businessman?

Abbas understood what Said meant, of course, but he had no choice but to kill the Persians who had pushed them into the Land of Shame in order to do his best to recover the loss of his reputation, otherwise he might as well die in battle.

Thinking of this, Abbas's attitude was resolute again, and he said categorically:

"Of course, I know how those people will react, but I believe that Brother Said, with your wisdom and ability, you will definitely be able to suppress the situation in Mulu City. Moreover, I will leave you the best of the guards, and the captain of the guard, Muhammad, will obey your orders, and whoever dares to disobey will have their heads cut off without my consent!"

Abbas's offer was no longer acceptable to Said, and if he refused, he would have completely offended the aged governor of Khorasan.

Suddenly Saeed saw a little imperceptible killing in Abbas's gaze.

The old donkey went crazy, and Said subconsciously shuddered, so he had to pinch his nose in agreement.

At this point, Abbas smiled and hugged him, and then earnestly admonished:

"I mean, anyone, you can kill them first, and then report back to me!"

This is equivalent to handing over the power of life and death in Mulu City to Said, in other words, after Abbas leaves Mulu City, Said will become the master of everything in the city.

Said secretly staggered, in the past, he was just an almost insignificant businessman on the Anxi Trade Road, who would have thought that in just half a year, his identity had changed dramatically, and now he had become the ruler of Mulu City!

The nobles of the past were now trembling at his feet.

Abbas took with him almost all of the recruits who had not fought much, as well as a number of hot-tempered and unruly generals, leaving behind many young and steady commanders and centurions.

It was not the first time that Muhammad had cooperated with Said, and he admired the merchant who had returned from the East.

While everyone was cowering back, only this merchant stepped forward to solve the troubles of His Excellency the Governor.

Abbas took with him more than 20,000 men from Mulu, many of whom were pagans, including Persians, Tocharians, and even many Sogdians. Only the big cannibals are almost pitiful.

Most of Khorasan's great * rui was buried in Ansi by Yusuf, and Ayi took the last 20,000 elite foot soldiers with him, and he has never been found, and the only thing he can count on now is the 5,000 cavalry of his nephew Iprasin.

Although Iprasin's several battles with Tocharian in the river were disappointing, he eventually brought back 5,000 horsemen with all beards and tails, which alone was much better than the proud and foolish Yusuf.

Abbas hated himself for seeing Yusuf, who he had seen as his greatest rival, but for the sake of the empire, he had led his troops against the Tang Dynasty, which was mired in civil strife.

Looking at the layers of yellow sand rolling up in the distance, Abbas suddenly felt as if he was twenty years younger, as if he had returned to twenty years ago overnight, when he led a handful of tribal warriors to beat the elite of the Umayyad dynasty all over the ground.

Moreover, they always defeated the overwhelmingly superior Umayyad army with absolutely weak troops.

But how many years have passed, and the Abbasid dynasty has only been established for ten years, and he has encountered unprecedented defeat and humiliation in the East.

Anger and a desire to win drummed up the blood of Abbas's body, and the word revenge was like two sharp daggers, piercing flesh and skin, leaving him in a state of boiling blood all the time.

Despite this, his mind was extremely calm, he knew that his current strength did not have a full chance of victory, not even half of the chance, so he could only carefully keep a distance from the Persian rebels, and at the same time sent experienced scouts to track and reconnoiter the Persian rebels.

The Persian rebels did not march fast due to the large amount of gold and silver treasure they carried, and the scouts could easily track them down and break away easily.

A large amount of intelligence and information about the Persian rebels was sent back to Abbas.

Much of this information was not available at the time of the siege of Mulu Castle.

For example, there was a strangely dressed cavalry in the Persian rebels, which was supposed to be a Tang from the east.

It was only at this time that Abbas confirmed Said's statement, and it seems that there was indeed an elite Tang soldier in the Persian rebels, which can explain why a rabble can easily show off their might outside Mulu City.

Abbas clenched his fists tightly, he finally realized the crux of the matter, if he wanted to wash away the shame on his body, the only way was to defeat these Tang people.

"Find out, what is the name of the general of the Tang people, I will use his head to sacrifice the souls of those Great Food Warriors who died under the walls of Mulu City!"

However, scouts were only scouts after all, and they could not get close to or even penetrate into the Persian rebels to find out what the general of the Tang army was called. At Abbas's repeated urgings, and after the scouts had paid the price of more than fifty dead and wounded, a scout who pretended to be captured finally escaped with a name.

"Qin Ying?"

The pronunciation of these two words didn't mean anything to Abbas, but he hated itchy.

"Where's Iprasin?"

The scouts also brought back news that Iprasin's cavalry had entered the eastern part of Khorasan, essentially blocking the Persian rebels' retreat to Vedata. If they plan to go back, they will have to fight against it.

"Send someone, get in touch with Iprahim, and tell him that despite the battle with the rebels, I will stab them in the ass at any time in the back!"

Abbas did not doubt Iprasin's guts, he was only worried that this nephew was too conceited and risky, and fell for the cunning tricks of the Tang people!
