The Sylvan steppe has returned to its former calm, and no one could have imagined that this small earthen city has become an important place for all parties to come to court.

The army from the Tang Dynasty defeated the elite led by the Great Food Prince, and the news was like a monsoon on the grassland, quickly blowing the north and south of the mountains, and the nearby tribes that were originally dependent on the Great Cannibals were driven by the Sogdians, and sent envoys here to meet the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, it was only an opinion of the Sogdian tribes, but in the end, it evolved into tribes from all over the country coming to Sylvan to participate in the alliance.

The effect and momentum far exceeded Qin Jin's expectations.

After that, the prestige and military might of the Tang Dynasty in the land of Khorasan, no one dared to ignore it.

And the purpose of the Shirfan war can be regarded as initially achieving expectations.

However, the Great Cannibal is not injured, and it will definitely make a comeback, and the previous defeat of the snow wash is that the Shenwu army has not relaxed because of the victory. On the contrary, they were more intense in the deployment of supplies and troops, preparing for further westward expeditions and spreading the war to the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

The Qin and Jin Dynasty mobilized more than 50,000 cavalry from the river and Tocharo, all of whom were the elite Ding Zhuang of the tribes in various places, most of whom had experienced the conquest of the black-clothed Great Eater, and their hatred for the Great Cannibal was fermenting because of the successive victories of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to hatred, what is more practical is that they hope to gain considerable benefits from this war of conquest launched by the Tang Dynasty.

And the rich Two Rivers Belt, the center of civilization irrigated by the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, has become a coveted fat for all.

At first, the various tribes did not think that the Tang army's army would be able to compete with the army of the Great Eclipse.

After all, the black-clothed food took advantage of the geographical advantage, and had defeated the Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty, the labor expedition, soldiers and supplies had considerable difficulties, because many people thought that the Tang Dynasty might return with a feather, who would have expected that the most unlikely thing would happen, not only captured the butcher governor Abbas to occupy Khorasan, but also defeated the most important prince of the caliphate.

This gives many people room to imagine, and those with a keen sense of smell feel the need to do something at this time.

People have always liked to put the icing on the cake and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign, and the wavering tribes of Khorasan gradually began to change their attitude towards the Tang Dynasty.

The Khorasan tribes were originally inseparable from the court of Ctesiphon, and for many years it was because of the iron-fisted suppression of the butcher governor Abbas that they did not cause any major incidents.

Now, the former strongman Abbas has become a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty, and the shock to the Khorasan tribes can be imagined.

Under the combined force of many factors, the army of the Tang Dynasty became the object of competition among the various departments. Of course, all this shows a truth, no matter when and where, strength is the foundation of power.

Because the series of victories achieved by the Shenwu army of the Tang Dynasty in Khorasan, Tocharian and other places have been completely shocking and awe-inspiring.

In this land, even the great cannibals have been defeated one after another, and who else can beat them?

Who would be the first to stand up against this formidable exotic army in such a situation?

Unless it's a fool, it's a fool.

Even the Grolu people who betrayed the Tang Dynasty worked hard like a dog to stammer with the Tang people, and the Tang people accepted and forgave the original betrayer regardless of their previous suspicions.

Not only the Grolu, but also many of the Great Cannibals held important positions in the Tang Dynasty army, and the Tang people did not seem to be afraid of what these people would do to threaten them.

It was as if overnight, the Tang Dynasty had become the undisputed powerhouse of the land, and it had also put on a posture that it was about to replace the great cannibals.

Manyak, the old chief of the Sogdian Ministry, became the guest of honor of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and as soon as the alliance came for several days, he was arranged to sit next to Qin Jin and sit in the most conspicuous position.

Previously, this was also completely unthinkable.

The Sogdians' position in the Great Food was almost not much stronger than that of the slaves, because they were the first to express their support for the Tang people, and they also allowed the strong men of the tribe to be sent by the Tang people.

They were also rewarded handsomely, and the meadows north of Sylvan, including Shannan and Shanbei, became real pastures where they could graze, and all the ridiculous poll taxes imposed on them by the Great Cannibals were abolished.

On the other hand, the Tang adopted a relatively pragmatic policy, requiring only a certain percentage of war horses to be paid to the Persian governorate of the Tang Dynasty each year.

Manjak, whose legs had been disabled for many years, sat beside Qin Jin with a smile on his face, looking at the chiefs with smiling smiles on their faces, not to mention how happy he was.

For so many years, which of them did not follow Abbas in taking a bite of flesh from the Sogdians?

Now, who else dares to bully the Sogdians anymore?

How can they not be proud that they, a group of Sogdians who had migrated from the river and had been discriminated against and oppressed by, had now succeeded in turning over because of the decisive decision of the old chieftain Manjak, and had a place in the Persian governorate established by the Tang people?

Mañac, who has been careful all his life with his tail between his legs, finally has the opportunity to raise his eyebrows and exalt himself, and it is normal for him to be happy.

"The deputy governor is well, do you remember my Shapur?"

A burly man with a beard stood in front of Manjac with a smile on his face, and bowed humbly.

How could Manjac not remember this man? One of his legs was destroyed alive, and it was inseparable from this person.

But he also knew the strategy of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't care about the unforgivable crimes committed by the tribes all over Khorasan before, and from now on, as long as he followed the Shenwu army, it was right.

After fully comprehending Qin Jin's policy, Manjak knew that his revenge could not be avenged, but only with a smiling face.

"How could I have forgotten the Shapur brothers? If it weren't for these two legs, I would really want to go hunting on the steppe with the Shapur brothers again!"

Shapur straightened his body a little, which was almost ninety degrees, and said with a smile:

"The deputy governor is now in a high position, and if you want something, you just have to say it, and Shapur will go hunt for the deputy governor......"

Shapur was a converted Banda who had the same name as the founding monarch of Sassanid Persia.

However, although he did not convert to the Great Food Religion, he has always been an important coercive force of Abbas in eastern Khorasan.

Because in addition to converting to religion, the Bada people are all obedient to the requirements of the Great Cannibal.

Now seeing that the Great Cannibal was beaten out of Khorasan, in order not to be wiped out by the enemy who was provoked by the Great Cannibal back then, now he has changed to the Tang Dynasty with the wind and rudder.

As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty said, he is not guilty of the past, as long as they are sincere at the moment, they will be treated equally.

Shapur now took the initiative to think of Manyak's overtures, and naturally hoped that this old guy would not be guilty of his past affairs.

After all, Manjak was awarded the title of the right general of the Tang Dynasty, and the position of deputy governor of the Persian Governor's Office, and he himself was only awarded the title of a lieutenant general, which was only a position in the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

But it is also less than the top, more than the bottom, and those who came later even only got the empty title of captain.

When you think about it, Shapur is still happy that he made a decisive decision, and if he hesitates a little longer, he may be like those people.

The most important thing now is to dispel Manyak's hatred for himself as soon as possible, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty cannot sit in Khorasan forever, and when the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty returns to Middle-earth, the governor of the capital who stayed behind the town is likely to be bewitched by the old Manyak, at that time, he has no backer behind him, and the enemy is a lot, and he must not be eaten alive by life?

After thinking about it, Shapur felt that only by leveling Manyak's own tribe could they graze their cattle in peace on this grassland.

In private, he couldn't figure out how the black-clothed food had just replaced the white-clothed food and appeared in Khorasan as an unprecedented conqueror, so why was it so miserable in the blink of an eye?

Didn't you say that the capitals of the Roman Empire in the East were almost taken down by the Caliph al-Mansur?

Mañack looked at Shapur with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Brother Shapur, rest assured, all Sogdians abide by the rules set by the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty and will not cross the line, I hope that the Shapur brothers' subordinates will not occupy our pasture anymore while hunting!"

Despite following the rules set by the Tang, Manjak stubbornly rejected Shapur's overtures.

This made Shapur very embarrassed, and the people present also laughed a few times intentionally or unintentionally, this guy deserved to be disgraced.

Is there any tribe in North Khorasan that has not been harassed by this guy? Relying on being Abbas's loyal dog, he has not been able to do much for his own benefit while biting people indiscriminately.

Yes, Manjak swept Shapur's face, and many people felt relieved, but they just didn't want to show it in public.

There were countless delicious food and wine at the banquet, and the chiefs of the tribes, who lacked food and clothing, were all focused on eating and drinking, and soon no one paid attention to the embarrassed Shapur.

In the meantime, a Shenwu military official walked into the hall, came to Qin Jin's side and whispered a few words, only to see Qin Jin's face as usual, slowly get up, and confess to the tribal leaders, saying that there is military affairs in his body, and he will retreat first, and then ask the big guy not to be restrained, and to eat and drink.

Everyone laughed, thinking that this Tang Dynasty prime minister was interesting, and there was no slightness of power.

After leaving the banquet, Qin Jin returned to the camp out of Sylvan City under the guidance of the military officials.

There was a group of men and horses who had arrived secretly, and although they were dressed in Khazar costumes, their faces were still exposed under the cover of their hats, and they were literal cannibals.

It was Sa'id who arrived with the negotiating minister of the Great Food Caliph al-Mansur.

These cannibals are described as tired, wary, and obviously highly uneasy.

Qin Jin thought for a while, and then strode into the military tent.
