The war against the Great Food has achieved a series of victories, and Qin Jin is not in a hurry to return to Mulu City, but has been staying in Sylvan, and even planned to expand Sylfan City with Cui Yin and others.

The small city of Sylvan was insignificant in the Great Food Empire, but it played a pivotal role in the Tang Dynasty's plan to conquer Persia.

With the western half of Khorasan and a part of the province of Fars, the territory of the Persian state that is about to be rebuilt has been basically determined, and the next thing that needs to be determined is the choice of the Persian king.

In fact, there is no suspense about the choice of this king, it must be the respected Zamas, this old merchant who has been in Tocharian all his life to seek the possibility of recovering the country, but the Abbasid dynasty that replaced the Umayyad dynasty is even more powerful, he thought that there was no hope, but he did not expect that the arrival of the Tang people broke everything, and the hope of recovering the country was like a spark bursting out of a stone, and it actually lit a fire.

The messenger who arrived in Tocharian from Sylvan handed over the handwritten letter of Qin Jin to the old Zamas, and when he learned the news of the imminent restoration of the Persian state in West Khorasan, the old tears of excitement were overflowing, and he could not calm down for a long time.

At present, Zamas's son, Kusilao, is helping the Tang people to conquer the small country in southern India, and he will not be able to return for a short time.

But he did not hesitate for a moment, and resolutely decided to follow the messenger to the west to Sylvan to meet the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time he was willing to be the Persian national network after the restoration of the country.

In Qin Jin's letters, he also made a deal with Zamas, using West Khorasan and a part of Fars to return his possessions in Tocharo, as well as the hastily established state of Persia.

Khorasan and Fars are naturally more attractive than the non-Persian core of Tocharo.

In particular, Boslis, the place where the Sassanid Empire arose, heard that a new capital could be built there, and Zamas's face was flushed with excitement.

He never imagined that the Tang people could defeat the Great Cannibal so easily and seize a large area of land, and he couldn't believe that the Tang people were willing to give West Khorasan and Fars to him.

This opportunity must not be given up, so he was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he did not wait for Kuth Lao to return to Tocharo, and directly led his ministers on the road to Sylvan.

At the time of the letter to Zamas, even Mahdi had not yet been taken prisoner, and now only a little more than half a month later, another big news had reached Sylván.

The brother of the Great Food Caliph al-Mansur, Prince Qajar led his people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Unlike the Mahdi, Qajar had a high status in the Abbasid family, and when the dynasty was first established, he made many military achievements, and later was recruited to the vacant position of Ctesiphon because of Mansour's suspicion.

Its appeal is far from being comparable to that of the Mahdi, who has only one princely title.

This person surrendered to sincerity, so he naturally had to be treated with great seriousness, but after getting the news, many people doubted that a person of Khazar's level was sincere in defecting to sincerity, and Qin Jin secretly listened to Said's analysis of the political situation of Tai Xifeng, and felt that this matter could be achieved by seven or eight points.

In any case, it is important to be cautious and not rushed.

Qajar is a pretender for the position of caliph, and Mansur is an iron-fisted caliph with a strong desire for power, perhaps it was the capture of Mahdi that stimulated Qajar, and he lost the duel with Mansur, and in desperation, he chose to fall to the Tang Dynasty in order to protect himself.

After another ten days, the spies sent to Elam returned and confirmed that the tribes of Qajar had been slaughtered in Elam.

At this point, Khazar and Mansur, his own brother, formed a blood feud that shared the sky, and the doubts in Qin Jin's heart were reduced by one point.

During this period, Qajar sent envoys to Sylfan several times, asking to meet with the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

His anxious mood can be seen, but the more anxious he is, the more Qin Jin wants to pull him, making him more anxious, as long as he is more anxious, there will be one less bargaining chip to bargain with.

Around the time the seventh wave of envoys arrived in Sylvan, Qin Jin finally agreed to let Khazar come to Sylvan, and at the same time sent an envoy to return and bring food and clothing.

Sending an envoy with food was a decision made by Qin Jin after learning about the actual situation in Qajar, and it is said that Qajar and his men had almost reached the point of exhaustion, and it took two or three days to eat a meal.

He was so hungry that he even ransacked a few Persian villages.

But the Persians in the area of Fars and Khorasan were not as docile as the Persians in the area of the two rivers and fought back fiercely.

At the same time, the Tang generals sent to the area also warned them that if they robbed civilians again, they would be expelled by force.

In desperation, Khazar could only ask to go to Sylfan as soon as possible to meet the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, at least to mix up a day where he could have a full meal.

Fortunately, the Tang people who had been stationed here in the early stage did not watch them starve to death, and sent people to send a few truckloads of grain to let them rest easy.

Khazar was greatly moved, feeling that the Tang people were not as cruel and stupid as Tessiphon had rumored.

It seems that he has been in Ctesiphon for too long, and even the most basic judgment has gradually been lost.

At the same time, a blazing flame of hope was also ignited in the heart of Khazar, and some clues could be seen from the attitude of the Tang Dynasty people towards him, and they should accept his surrender.

The days of waiting were extremely painful, and once he set foot on the road to Syrvan, Khazar was eager to grow two pairs of wings and fly to his destination as fast as he could.

It's not that he willingly became a lackey of the Tang people, but he planned to borrow troops from the Tang people as soon as possible, kill back Elam, and rescue those who survived.

Although most of Qajar's wives and sons were killed, but his tribe numbered tens of thousands of men alone, did Muhammad have the courage to kill them all?

If so, does Muhammad still have the capital to turn to Mansour?

Mansur had always been cruel to such a slave who betrayed his master, so how could Muhammad be allowed to stay in Ilam and enjoy his wealth?

The Praetorian Guard from Ctesiphon will eventually return to Ctesiphon, and it is impossible to stay in Elam for a long time, so will Muhammad, who has lost the protection of the Praetorian Guard, be able to convince the people?

The answer is obvious! It may be possible to deter by force at first, but as soon as Khazar leads his troops back, this fragile balance will collapse at the first moment.

Five days later, Khazar arrived in Sylvan.

The wind in the Sylvan steppe is already showing the coolness of late summer, which is in stark contrast to the scorching heat of Ilam.

Khazar breathed the steppe air as if he had never smelled so fresh.

He knew he was one step closer to retaking Elam.
