Chapter 1168: Self-inflicted sins are hard to live
"So, you're here to persuade you to surrender?"
Shavosz narrowed his eyes, pondering how true and false Abu's words were, he didn't dare to fully believe the person in front of him, but he was also unwilling to give up any chance to get rid of the Great Cannibal.
Abu laughed, and despite his best efforts to hide his inner activities, he could clearly see through the man's true thoughts.
"This is not a persuasion, but a plan to rebel against the cannibals, and have not the Shavász brothers always been obsessed with the rule of the cannibals?
In Abu's view, Shawash is also an old fox, this person can be used by the Umayyad Dynasty and the Abbasid Dynasty successively between the Great Cannibal Network Dynasty, which shows that he is not the kind of straight-hearted person, if he is not careful, he may be in trouble.
The attitude of the Great Cannibals towards aliens and paganisms was generally quite lenient, but the unavoidable problem was that many of the Abbasid nouveau riche also had a serious attitude towards aliens and paganisms.
This caused a subtle rift between many of the old Persian nobles and the great cannibals in the court of Ctesiphon, and there were many people like Shavosh in the old Persian aristocracy.
Abu and Hashem were not loyal Persian supporters, they were only speculative, and they would go wherever they could get more power and wealth.
The army of the Tang Dynasty appeared twice in Zhangye, which gave them too much shock, and Yusuf regarded them as dead ghosts several times, so it was natural to throw themselves into the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Shawash also saw this, so he was skeptical of Abu's persuasion, and even felt that it might be a trick played by Abu and Hasim after colluding with the Tang Dynasty. After a fluctuating state of mind, he finally ordered Abu to be driven away and expelled eastward, far away from the Kongtong Mountains and far away from the place where he was stationed.
Save yourself the annoyance of watching.
Abu was not discouraged when he left, and if it could have been easily accomplished, it would be worth worrying.
Shawasz was a more traditional old Persian aristocracy, very different from those of them who were good at stammering.
The only thing that worries Abu is how to safely escape the hunt of the big * horseman. For several days, they had hunted hundreds of Tang Dynasty horsemen in this narrow hundred-mile corridor.
This time he came to persuade Shawasz to surrender and took a risk, and if he returned in vain, Abu would be unwilling anyway.
Simply, he hid in the Kongtong Mountain and waited for an opportunity.
At the same time, Yusuf was planning a counteroffensive against the Tang army, and retreating was never his goal, but a means to achieve ultimate victory.
In recent days, several small groups of elite cavalry sent out by him have hunted down many Tang Dynasty rangers, and it seems that the Tang Dynasty army is already in full swing preparing to continue to advance westward. After a few days of rectification and recuperation, Yusuf also regained his usual self-confidence from the initial frustration.
How could a man who was about to conquer the entire Eastern Empire lose his fighting spirit after a small setback?
This time, he will defeat the Tang Dynasty's army head-on in Jiuquan with a dignified and upright army, if everything goes well, the morale of the Tang Dynasty's army will inevitably suffer a heavy setback, and the military might of Da Shi will completely deter the Eastern Empire.
Therefore, before the decisive battle, he wanted to consume as many Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses as possible with tribal armies, and those who did not seem to be very deferential on weekdays naturally became the first choice to undertake the task of attrition*.
It was getting late, and the agent hurriedly returned, bringing back a piece of news that made Yusuf frown.
Shawasz had private contacts with Tang Dynasty spies, the content of which was unknown, but those Tang Dynasty people apparently came from the direction of Zhangye.
This made Yusuf have a deep sense of distrust of Shavosz, if before it was only doubts and fears, now it is almost naked and naked targeting and defense.
Something had to be done, and he issued a series of military orders that night, ordering Gloroe to garrison the town of Fulu together, in order to strengthen the defense of the place, but in fact to strengthen the surveillance of Shawash.
At the same time as dispatching the Grolu Division, the Turk Cavalry Division, under the leadership of Pontar Khan, also drove to Qilianshu at the eastern foot of the remaining veins of the Kunlun Mountains, forming an angle with Mojianlian.
After another day, the company sent back a report that Shawasz was very dissatisfied with Yusuf's arrangement, and did not allow the troops of the Qarluq army to come within three miles of them, and even camped at a sufficient distance, and after several skirmishes, the relatively weak company chose to compromise.
Yusuf cursed Mojilian for his cowardice and incompetence, and at the same time decided that Shawasz had a different heart.
Therefore, he immediately sent a group of Sogdians to Xianchifeng, north of Fulu Town, to prepare for a north-south attack on Shavosz, completely annihilating this unstable Persians, and saving them from another incident in the decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Shawasz quickly realized the danger of his situation, and even a fool could see who Yusuf had placed three troops around a town that was not very important, and who he was targeting.
What to do!
While Shawash was scratching his ears and muttering in thought, Abu led the men into his barracks.
"Brother Shavosz, even if you have doubts about the promise of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it is better than sitting and waiting for death, and now Yusuf has dispatched the Grolo and Sogdians to the north and south, and will definitely attack you in two days, and even if you want to make any more moves by then, it will be too late!"
Finally, Shawasz sighed.
"The Sogdians and the Grohs have caught me like pincers, and the slightest movement may lead to ruin. ”
Asermon:
"No, no, no, it's still too late, as long as the Charvos brothers ......"
In the afternoon of the same day, the Persian military camp in the town of Fulu sent a convoy full of grain and dried meat, which were sent to the Qarluq tribe, which was camped three miles away from them.
When Murzlien learned of this, he thought that Shawasz knew that he was afraid, and that the armies arranged on the north and south sides were aimed at him, but now he knew that it was too late to remedy his fear. Because Yusuf sent a messenger at noon to give the final military order.
An attack on Shawasz will be launched at noon tomorrow, disarming the more than 3,000 Persians in one fell swoop, and killing Shawasz in order to completely eliminate this hidden danger that may erupt at any time.
However, of course, the benefits of the delivery were not spared, and he ordered the grain and dried meat to be accepted, and then sent a messenger to express his gratitude, so as to paralyze Shawasz and make the Persians in the town of Fulu let their guard down.
