Chapter 1226: Good generals are bold
The Persians' performance made Abbas suspicious, which was not in line with the city of Mulu, and even if it was defeated, it remained almost intact and did not collapse.
Iprahim urged him to launch a surprise attack as soon as possible, trying to finish off all the besieged Persians within two days, and then go after those who had escaped.
Most importantly, the 600,000 dinars of goods looted from Mulu City felt that they could not enter the Nadta, which would only strengthen the newly restored Persia.
"Your Excellency the Governor, a military report from Mulu City!"
Hearing that it was the military report from Mulu City, Abbas and Ipraxin frowned at the same time, everyone knew that it was Saeed, a businessman, who was now in charge of Mulu City.
And this Said is a wise and brave character, could it be that there is a problem in Mulu City?
Abbas's hands shook imperceptibly, and it wasn't until he unfolded the parchment on which the military newspaper was written that a light-hearted smile appeared on his face.
It turned out to be a false alarm!
After Abbas left, the Persian merchants in Mulu City did unite to rebel, but fortunately they were discovered by Saeed in time and suppressed with an iron fist.
Thousands of people were executed, and the market square was covered with rivers of blood, and countless heads were hung all over the flagpoles.
After this battle, no one in Mulu City dared to plot a rebellion, and this sudden killing frightened the Persian merchants.
Once upon a time, the Great Cannibals were too merciful to them, but now that they are suddenly bloody, they know what fear is.
In the military newspaper, Said quoted a sentence from the Tang people, called "Heavy Codes in Troubled Times"!
Abbas repeated the sentence and nodded thoughtfully, and he found that this Sayyid not only had the talent of a general, but also a good hand in governance. At the same time, he was also glad that it was the right decision to hand over Mulu City to this merchant-turned* person.
Among the people present, only Iplahim did not know much about Said, although he had received a few words of information before, but after all, he knew very little.
Now that he realizes that his uncle values Said far more than he could have imagined, he has to take a fresh look at the little-known businessman.
Iprasin's temperament is roughly the same as that of Abbas, and both have a deep prejudice against merchants, and at first he was dissatisfied with his uncle's appointment of merchants to guard Mulu City.
Now that I learned about the changes in Mulu City from the military newspaper, I couldn't help but change my initial opinion.
In Iprasin's impression, businessmen have always been profit-seeking, and they are even more reluctant to do these things that offend people to death. And Said's willingness to give up the merchant's original surname for profit for the sake of the safety of Mulu City and the stability of the empire in the east is enough to show that his uncle's trust in this person is worthy.
"I can't see that a merchant has such a talent, if the merchants of the Great Food Country can do this, I'm afraid that the country of the Tang people has already been flattened!"
Abbas was pleased with his nephew's performance, who was much more mature than he had been before the expedition and was able to make more realistic judgments.
"This Saeed is a talented person left to you by your uncle, you must make good use of it in the future, after Khorasan is stable, maybe, maybe one day, you can compete for the caliphate of this empire!"
Abbas's voice was soft, but it sounded like thunder in Ibrahim's ears, and in Ibrasin's mind, he was content to succeed his uncle as governor of Khorasan, and he never thought of competing with al-Mansur for the caliphate.
Iprasin looked at his uncle in disbelief, his lips trembling.
"Uncle?"
Abbas said slowly in a deep voice:
"I'm not asking you to fight with Mansour, Mansur's ability is certainly stronger than you now, but his age is not a few years younger than me, and when he goes to see Allah, this empire is afraid that it will experience another bloody storm!"
Iprasin was completely shocked, he didn't expect his uncle's plan to be so far, but at the same time, he was also grateful for his uncle's love and cultivation for him, his eyes couldn't help but be a little red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, those are all things in the future, now you have to make good use of the current opportunity, the shame that your uncle suffered in Mulu City depends on you to take revenge!"
Revenge was important, but it was even more important that Iprahim could establish his prestige and prestige in defeating the Persians, paving the way for his succession as governor of Khorasan.
If he could take advantage of this opportunity to attack all the way east, defeat the Tang once again, and seize the land of Anxi leading to the Tang Dynasty, there would be no one in the east of the empire who could threaten the position of Iprasin.
A proud man like Abbas would rather give up his honor and disgrace for the sake of his nephew and the future of his family!
"Don't be in a hurry to tighten your pockets and continue to harass the Persian soldiers, I want them to fake it!"
As he spoke, Abbas's eyes shone fiercely. He was sure that eighty percent of the Persian soldiers were likely to use the strategy of luring the enemy to paralyze, and as for what tricks were there in the follow-up, although he couldn't figure it out for a while, he also knew a little.
After all, the Persian soldiers are all newly formed, and their combat effectiveness and will to fight are not very stable, and if the attack continues, the pressure on the Persian soldiers will continue to rise to the brink of collapse.
Showing weakness is likely to turn out to be really weak!
Abbas led his troops to fight in the east and west for 20 years, what kind of tricks have not been seen, what kind of battles have not been fought?
Don't look at the group he was played around when he was in Mulu City, now once he leads the troops in the field, it is immediately like a different person.
The sick demeanor is gone, and even the spine seems to be much straighter.
The three days of harassment exhausted the Persian soldiers, and Qin Ying endured unprecedented pressure.
Many Persians have begun to shout for a retreat.
After all, they have been trained by the Shenwu Army for a short time, and once they face such an unexpected and critical situation, their emotions will inevitably fluctuate, and it will be difficult for them to continue to do so.
"The number of deserters has exceeded 1,000 people, and if it continues like this, it won't take a few days, and before the big cannibals attack, we will fall apart!"
It was Du Zhou who spoke, and he found that the Persians' ability to withstand pressure was too weak, and they were all afraid of death, and they were really helpless in the face of the big cannibals, which only attacked and did not fight.
Compared with Du Zhou's anxiety, Qin Ying didn't say a word, only looked at the young man in front of him lightly to express his opinion, until the other party was speechless, then said lightly:
"The play is unreal, how can the old fox be fooled?"
"What? This, it's all part of the show?"
Du Zhou was a little shocked, he couldn't imagine that Qin Ying's courage was so big, such a big gamble, if there was a slight mistake, it would be a catastrophe for them!
