Said explained exaggeratedly, and after understanding that these were the top compliments in the East, Mahdi smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time sighed with some emotion.

"The chieftains of the court of Ctesiphon did not hide their foul temper with the caliph, and if they could be as good at praise as the Orientals, the caliph would not have a straight face all day long!"

As he spoke, he randomly pulled out one of the thick stacks of military newspapers in front of him and examined them. This is a near-lazy way for Mahdi to supervise military affairs as commander-in-chief.

Because most of the general affairs in the army are handled by special officials, the military affairs that the commander-in-chief knows must also be screened by the staff before they are submitted in order of priority.

Mahdi only needs to do spot checks in order.

Now, the military newspaper in his hand was pulled out from a stack of military newspapers marked slowly, and he only looked at it a few times, and he couldn't help but feel a little trembling. It's just that the shaky hands are not caused by anger and fear, the emotion that Saeed captures from his face is excitement.

Yes, it's excitement.

"This, how is this relegated to the category of slow?"

Said knew that he shouldn't talk too much at this time, so he waited quietly beside him, This prince is still young after all, and he will tell him everything he wants to know in a while.

This time, however, Mahdi did not engage in a so-called "small talk" with him, but called his staff in a loud voice.

As soon as the staff entered the door, he reprimanded him with a slap in the face.

"Didn't I say that all the military reports about the Persians and the Tang people should be sent first, and your ears are full of worms?"

Mahdi's anger was so furious that even Saeed was taken aback, and he had never been seen by Mahdi's side to vent his anger in such a gaffe.

The military newspaper was thrown in the face of one of the staff closest to Mahdi, who carefully picked it up and read it again with a shudder, and then explained:

"This is the Turkic Department of Guishun, they have captured a few Persian deserters, if all the military reports related to the capture of deserters have to be sent to His Highness, I am afraid that even His Highness's tent will not fit!"

The seemingly cowardly staff turned back the prince's anger.

Said was dumbfounded, and he looked at the aide with a sympathetic gaze. In fact, from the point of view of the staff, all explanations cannot disguise dereliction of duty, but it is possible to find a justification for one's approach by taking such a risk.

Regardless of the staff's thoughts, Mahdi can have such a quick and bold staff by his side, Saeed has to admit that this guy still has some eyesight.

The military report was about the Turks who had been settled south of Haizi after their conversion, and that they had captured several Persian deserters.

Since the defeat of the Persian army, the aides have dealt with thousands of military reports about Persian deserters, which have only been placed in the category because they involve the more sensitive Turks.

After the Turks were driven out of the northern steppe by the Tang Dynasty, many people migrated to the rivers and even to the territory of Dashi, which had a serious impact on local security.

Therefore, the question of the Turks has always been valued by the caliph.

The staff arranged this way, and if you look at it in all fairness, it is understandable.

"What about those Persian deserters, all of them will be escorted to the Chinese army!"

At this time, the staff hesitated for a moment before saying:

"It's a pity that the Persian deserters captured by the Turks disappeared along with the Khazar captives!"

"Missing?"

Mahdi was incredulous.

"The Turks have been ordered to move west, and these captives, who seem insignificant to them, should be abandoned on the road!"

Because large numbers of captives consume already valuable food, steppe tribes often killed or released on the spot when they migrated.

As for whether the Persian deserters captured by the Turks were dead or alive, then no one can know.

Mahdi thought for a moment and gave a new order.

"Escort all the Persian captives to the valley to the west, I have another use!"

After driving away the staff, Mahdi looked at Said and said with regret:

"I've always hoped to capture the old prince of Kuth of the Persian army, and now it seems that this guy is still very cunning, as cunning as a desert fox!"

Without waiting for Said to speak, Mahdi stood up and walked to the tent door.

"Let's go, follow me to inspect the soldiers gathered outside!"

At this time, Gorgan had gathered countless armies, and the vast majority of the Great Eclipse were indigenous tribes from all over the country.

The Great Cannibal is adept at driving the barbarians, which they use to drain the morale and strength of the enemy army.

And this time, Mahdi made a bold decision to use the armies of various ministries as the main force against the Tang army.

In fact, he had never regarded the Tang people as a rival to the Great Eclipse, and before that, although the Tang Dynasty maintained a certain degree of superiority in the area of the river, it was difficult for them to cross the green mountains and maintain effective rule over the various tribes there.

Moreover, in the past hundred years, the victory and defeat have been half and half, especially the general who was once eaten was easily defeated by a partial division and annihilated. In the following ten years, the so-called Tang soldiers' military might had been consumed by tens of thousands of Tang soldiers in Dashi, and there was almost nothing left.

This time, the so-called "Shenwu Army" penetrated deep into Khorasan, which can only be seen as the sequelae of Abbas's old age.

Mahdi had already attributed the Caliph's overtrust of Abbas to the Caliph's defeat at Mulu by this time.

No matter how brave the lion is, there will be a day when he will grow old, and when he is old, he will lose all his teeth, and even the donkey will not be able to defeat it.

And now, Abbas is the lion with all his teeth gone.

The only real opponent of Mansur and Mahdi and his son was Constantinople in the West.

Responding to the Tang soldiers and driving them back to the east of the Green Ridge was only to clear the way for an attack on Constantinople in the coming year.

After all, no matter how powerful the empire is, it can't face the embarrassing situation of fighting on both sides.

The limited warriors of the empire could not be consumed in such battles, and it was worth it to shed their blood in the battle against Constantinople.

"Your Highness, please take a step slowly, the villain has a small suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not. ”

Said's tone was a little hesitant, and Mahdi stopped, looked at him dissatisfied, and said:

"Don't be so timid as I am, the officials and generals of the Ctesiphon court have been spoiled by those Persian remnants, just say that the caliph likes to see and hear, in the long run, the caliph will become a blindfolded eagle, I don't want my staff to be like this, understand?
