"This can't be, this can't be!"

The great shame caused Yusuf to have a momentary trance, as if the world in front of him had fallen into a very unreal whirlpool. His body shook, but fortunately, his entourage reacted quickly and held his crumbling body up.

Leaning weakly on the body of his entourage, Yusuf bounced away sharply, and his eyes began to focus slowly from sloppy.

"Order, be ready to withdraw from Shule City at any time!"

Now, I don't know when he began to suffer from Tang Jun's phobia, as long as he saw the red and black battle flag, he felt nauseous for no reason.

The generals in the city performed their duties, and Yusuf knew that this Tang soldier vanguard was not capable of conquering the city, so after explaining it, he went down the city with the support of his entourage.

At this time, Abu didn't know that Yusuf in the city was actually scared by himself and hid.

If you knew, you would definitely eat and drink proudly for three days and three nights.

Abu is a drinker, but since he fought in the Tang Dynasty, he has been fighting continuously, and he has never taken care of drinking.

Looking at the big food soldiers waiting on the city wall, Abu frowned, and complained in his heart, the strong attack just now was really repelled as expected, if the strong attack continued, the casualties were the foundation on which he relied on the * foothold.

What's more, the Persian battalion led by Abu was all light soldiers, and did not carry siege equipment with the army. And outside Shule City is also full of barren beaches and Gobi, and it is not realistic to build siege equipment from local materials.

"Alas, I knew that I was in such a hurry, and it would be good to stop in Gumo for a few more days!"

If he returns to the army now, it will definitely affect the morale of the army, so he can only stubbornly garrison the army outside the city and wait and see what happens.

That night, Abu was at a loss, not knowing how to attack the city after dawn tomorrow, and if it was consumed outside the city, the morale of the army would soon be exhausted. The example of Yousuf's failure under Zhangye City has penetrated into the hearts of everyone.

Just as he was about to sleep, the attendant crept in.

"General, there is a Tang slave asking to see!"

"Don slaves, what do you see me doing?"

In the Western Regions, the Tang people were captured by the barbarians and burned their faces and made slaves, which was not uncommon along the way. Even in Yusuf's Crusade Army, there were quite a few Tang slaves.

However, since the entourage can report seriously, it shows that there is something strange in this.

"The Tang man said that he had been a general in the Tang Dynasty, and then he was defeated and fled to the Western Regions......"

The attendant said a bunch of nonsense before he got to the point where Abu was interested.

"The slave said he could help the general conquer the city of Shule!"

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

Abu's heart sank, if someone can really help him conquer Shule, in the future, in front of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he will have enough capital to straighten his waist and not have to suffer the cold eyes and ridicule of those jealous people.

He was not stupid, and he knew that the preferential treatment given by Qin Jin was not all due to military merits.

Now, the opportunity to prove his ability has come, and Abu will not let go of even the slightest opportunity.

'Bring him to me!'

Soon, the Tang slave was brought up, and with it into the tent, there was a smell of rot and sourness, and Abu couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

As slaves, the living conditions were naturally extremely low, and some people were not even as comfortable as animals. The owners of slaves also never cared about the living conditions of slaves, and when they died, they threw them away, and then snatched some back from outside.

The slaves driven by the Persian battalion were all requisitioned in Gumo City, and naturally, the Tang slaves standing in front of him were also brought out in Gumo.

Abu looked at him carefully.

"I heard, can you help me conquer Shule City?"

The scale of Shule City is even taller than the city of Qiuzi, the seat of the Anxi Jiedu envoy.

Because this is the west of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, the southern mountain pass that controls the green ridge, the strategic position is extremely important, so the scale of the city wall is also one of the best in the Western Regions.

However, Abu now has only a few thousand people, and wanting to conquer Shule City, which is high and deep and heavily defended by the Great Food Army, is no different from a fool's dream.

Abu also saw this sloppy and stinking Tang slave with a try-and-see attitude, and his contempt was easy to understand, after all, how could a person with such ability easily become a slave?

"As long as the general gives me back my freedom, let alone conquering Shule City, even if I occupy the land in the river west of the Green Ridge, it is not impossible to establish myself as the king!"

Abu also understood some of the Turkic dialects spoken by the Tang slaves, and roughly understood what he meant.

However, after understanding, he laughed self-deprecatingly. With such rhetoric, how can you have some real skills?

Seeing that there was really nothing to be done at the moment, Abu patiently asked:

"I'll talk about the matter of dominating the river later, as long as you can help me conquer Shule, not to mention returning you to freedom, even if you are given a sum of money, it is okay to make you rich and old......

The current Abu is not short of money, and at this time he only values one thing in his eyes, and that is the head of the great cannibal. With the head of the Great Cannibal, not only can you exchange it for money, but you can also exchange it for power and status that money can't buy.

"I hope the general will keep his word......"

So, the slave succinctly stated his thoughts.

When Abu heard this, he thought for a while, and felt that it was not nonsense, and immediately allocated a separate tent for the slave to rest.

As soon as Yusuf opened his eyes, a tanma brought the latest military news.

The Tang soldiers outside the city actually left without a fight.

After a moment of trance, Yusuf bounced off the bed.

"Say it again, all the soldiers outside the city have been withdrawn, where have they gone?"

"It's indeed withdrawn, as for where it has been withdrawn, we have to wait for further investigation!"

"Hurry up and talk about it, find out, and report it!"

Yusuf was not relieved that Tang soldiers had withdrawn, on the contrary, a sense of uneasiness was faintly fermenting.

The servant brought corn porridge, and a few freshly baked dough cakes, and a copper basin with stewed and rotten mutton, and for a time the room was filled with steaming heat and fragrant aroma.

It's a pity that in front of such a delicacy, Yusuf can't afford to have any appetite, and this feeling of not being able to go up or down is really worse than being tortured, as if an invisible shackle is being tightened little by little, but he can't see anything, he can't do anything.

Since breakfast, he has been restless, and every time someone comes to report on military business, he will be nervous and break out in a cold sweat. By noon, the bad news that had been waiting for it was finally delivered.

It's just that this bad news is also much beyond Yusuf's expectations, and he even muttered to himself:

"Is this, is this still the cowardly and stupid Abu?"
