Chapter 1233: No Return

The calm camp soon became calm, and a large number of soldiers marched in batches to the selected place for Abbas to cross the river. The Persians fled quickly, and the Abbast land hastened the crossing of the river.

However, what made Iprahim's heart unbearable was that his uncle actually left him in the camp, although he didn't say it explicitly, he could also guess that he should be in charge of staying in the camp.

He didn't understand why his uncle arranged it like this, and when the two of them were slightly drunk at night, he had promised to keep the opportunity for himself, why did this opportunity become a camp when it was not available overnight?

It is well known that those who are left behind in the camps are generally unpopular non-descendants, and for him, Iprahim, who was almost openly appointed by Abbas, is now treated as a non-descendant, which is tantamount to a basin of cold water poured on him.

What made him even more frustrating was that his subordinates had nowhere to vent their high emotions that had long been instigated, and they were actually extinguished, and the morale of the whole army was seriously affected.

Fortunately, Abbas ordered the eunuch to send a handwritten letter, and after reading the handwritten letter, Iprahim's mood calmed down, and he chose to go back to his military tent to sleep as soon as possible.

He hadn't slept all day and night, and the exhaustion of a hangover came over him the moment he relaxed.

Abbas crossed the Nameless River with a mighty army, and the swelling of the river did not seem to affect the shoal, but the depth of the channel, which seemed to be wide, was greatly reduced to the waist of an adult man.

Riding on a war horse, you can cross the river with almost only the soles of your boots wet.

"The Persians are fleeing faster than they thought, but that's all they can do, and soon they will taste shame!"

In the last few days, Abbas feels that he talks a little too much, and he talks to himself when he is alone, especially when he is in a smug mood.

He realized that he was a little out of shape, and immediately calmed down, and waited seemingly calmly for the army to cross the river.

The Great Eater will march one-third of his troops to cross the river in a hurry, and then control the opposite bank that needs to cross the river, and then the remaining two-thirds will be divided into half to break the rear, and the other half will accelerate the crossing of the river under the safest conditions to reinforce the advance of crossing the river.

Abbas was in the second echelon of the river crossing, and the advance of the river crossing had already discovered that there were no troops that could threaten them within a three-mile radius on the opposite bank.

The Persian stronghold was almost certainly empty.

The scouts sent out quickly confirmed the suspicion that the camp that had once been filled with Persians was indeed empty.

Abbas was a little unsatisfied with his revenge, and although this result was expected, it was the only way to make the Great Food Warriors pay the least price and achieve the ultimate victory.

He values victory more than a refreshing one-sided fight.

If Abbas had been twenty years younger, he would have played the trick of cat and mouse to the extreme, and would never have ended this game without exhausting the enemy and begging for mercy without beating the enemy in despair.

It's just that he is too old now, and he no longer has the energy to do these things, he just wants to win as soon as possible, and then return to Mulu City in peace, and then hand over the power to his nephew Iprasin, who returns with the power of great victory.

In fact, no matter how much he won this battle, Abbas had already made up his mind to give all the credit to his nephew.

He had thought too much about it during this time, and his age and body were almost impossible to support all his ambitions, so the only way was to support his nephew Iprahim as much as possible while he was still healthy, so that he could become a person comparable to Mansour.

In fact, Iprahim does have an advantage, Mansour is in his forties this year, and Iprahim is only in his early twenties. Even if the current Caliphate al-Mansur is in full swing, it is difficult to say what will happen twenty years from now.

How will the aged Mansour compare with the young Iprahim?

Therefore, now is the best opportunity for Iprahim to accumulate strength, and the newly rising state of Persia is the best place for his nephew to accumulate prestige. After destroying the so-called Persian state, he then attacked Tocharian and headed south into the Great River Valley, where there was an innumerable amount of manpower to use as slaves and vast tracts of fertile land to cultivate food.

With food and population, there is naturally the strength to compete with the caliphate.

In the past, Abbas did not bother to do such things, preferring more challenging paths, such as the elimination of the more powerful Tang Dynasty.

However, since Yusuf suffered a crushing defeat at Ansi with the elite of Khorasan, he has lost the strength that can support this self-confidence.

This is often the case in the world, once people lose their strength, they will become down-to-earth and pragmatic.

Now, Abbas wants to recapture the 600,000 dinars as soon as possible, and then capture the Tang Dynasty general behind the scenes, and make him a lonely ghost in this land.

Only in this way can the hatred in your heart be reduced a little.

Looking up at the sky, Abbas couldn't help but curse:

"This damn weather, has it just rained for a day and a night, is this going to continue?"

The rain in late autumn cools down one after the other, and as a rule of thumb, it quickly turns from a continuous heavy rain to a day of heavy snow.

In this rainy and snowy weather, marching becomes a problem, let alone fighting.

Most of Abbas's men were newly recruited young men from Mulu City, who had not been trained to do anything about the brutality of warfare.

Rain, snow, cold, and mud are likely to be the worst enemies to defeat them!

However, this was also the Persians' greatest enemy, and they were relatively short of food and clothing, far from Nadado, and were likely to collapse sooner because of the multi-day siege.

With this in mind, Abbas chose the safest option, capturing the empty camp left behind by the Persians' hasty withdrawal, and then sending a third of his men to keep track and maintain a certain degree of deterrence.

In such weather, it is difficult for the army to go far, and as the rain turns to snow, the cold and mud will like countless hands to grab the Persians who want to escape, and turn them into ghosts trapped in the mire.

The return was not much different from what Abbas had predicted, and the Persians were struggling, and the stretch of the road they had walked from the time the heavy rain began to fall into place.

Abbas knew that the Persians, struggling in the cold rain, had made a fatal mistake, and that their end was irretrievable.

When the sun was almost setting, Abbas wrote another handwritten letter, explaining the basic situation, and ordered the eunuchs around him to send it as soon as possible.
