Hasim surrendered, and after a brief interrogation, Zhang Yuanzuo made a decision to let him go back, and by the way, he brought a letter to Yusuf, telling him to obediently wait for the end to come.

It is said that this is something that the captives cannot ask for, but who knows that Hasim resolutely begged Zhang Yuanzuo not to send him back, and he was willing to stay as the most loyal servant of the Tang Dynasty general.

However, no matter how Hasim pleaded and spoke skillfully, Zhang Yuanzuo only waved his hand and smiled:

"I'm from a bitter background, but I can't be such a noble servant as you!"

"No, no, no, Hasim was originally a slave who was sold cheaply in Ctesiphon, if it weren't for the change of dynasties, I'm afraid he would still be a slave now......"

As he spoke, he also lifted the hair that had fallen from his forehead, and sure enough, there was a shocking scar on it, which was obviously a unique mark of the slave owner's perm.

"It turns out that the general is also from a bitter ......"

Zhang Yuanzuo tilted his head and clasped his ears with his fingers, making a thinking motion. In fact, he wasn't thinking about how to perfunctory this big cannibal captive at all, he said so much before just to tease him, how could he easily let go of such a happy moment in the wind, sand, snow and rain along the way?

"Who says it's not? The villain is willing to be the master of the general, and is willing to be the most loyal servant of the general, and only begs the general not to give up the villain!"

When the Persian interpreter translated Hasim's words, the crowd burst out laughing.

"It's really strange, ordinary people can't wait to run back, why are you the only one who doesn't leave?"

Hassim smiled bitterly:

"It's not that the villain is dead and won't leave, it's really that the villain admires the general's bravery, just like a goshawk chasing the blue sky, how can it fall back to the ground?"

Zhang Yuanzuo laughed, of course he knew that this was Hasim talking nonsense, what kind of eagle was chasing the blue sky? I am afraid that if I go back, I will inevitably die.

However, what does Hasim's life and death have to do with it? As long as this cowardly fellow brings the words and lets the invincible Yusuf know that the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are coming!

Hassim's 3,000 troops had been annihilated in the pursuit, and only a few of them had escaped. In any case, this reinforcement of Jiuquan was completely annihilated.

Presumably, this Hasim was afraid that he would be held accountable by Yusuf when he went back, so he cut off his head.

"Don't worry, as long as you bring this letter, Ben will dare to guarantee that Yusuf will not kill you, not only will he not kill you, but he will also let you come to see Ben Jiang again!"

"Really?"

Hasim was skeptical and couldn't believe Zhang Yuanzuo's words.

"Naturally, take it seriously! What did this dignified seven-foot man do to deceive you into a defeated general?"

But seeing Zhang Yuanzuo's swear and words, Hasim believed it.

I don't know when Zhang Yuanzuo wrote a letter, but I saw that the letter he took out of the leather bag around his waist was sealed in parchment, and it was not very thick.

"Take it, go early and come back early!"

It wasn't until Hasim, escorted by two horsemen, reluctantly left the place.

Zhang Yuanzuo was afraid that Hasim would escape halfway, so he ordered the two cavalry guards to escort him to Zhangye's big food barracks.

Someone asked Zhang Yuanzuo what was written in the letter to Yusufu, Zhang Yuanzuo only laughed, but in fact it was just a blank piece of paper with no content.

When they learned that the envelope contained only a blank sheet of paper, their people were stunned and wondered why Jesus was doing this.

"Naturally, it angers Yusuf! Anger can break people's reason, so it's good to fish in troubled waters!"

Zhang Yuanzuo went deep alone, saying that he was not afraid of Yousufu, that was false, if Yousufu desperately planned to exterminate his 5,000 cavalry, and the narrow terrain in Hexi was not suitable for cavalry tossing and turning, then the result waiting for them was likely to be the death of the whole army.

Of course, if you run fast, you may also retreat, but that is contrary to its original intention of entering Hexi, how can you be the pioneer of Prime Minister Qin?

In fact, he has done a good job as a pioneer, burning the forage that can supply tens of thousands of war horses near Liangzhou, and taking away nearly 20,000 war horses from the Cutan Horse Farm, which has far exceeded expectations.

What's more, Zhang Yuanzuo jumped thousands of miles and took Jiuquan in a battle, Jiuquan can be regarded as a traffic artery that controls the east and west, and the big cannibals lose control of Jiuquan, which will inevitably cause panic and send people back to help.

All Zhang Yuanzuo had to do was to block and annihilate the reinforcements sent back by the Great Food on the way.

After sending away Hasim, several large food soldiers marched westward one after another, but they were all beaten by them and almost collapsed.

Zhang Yuanzuo deduced that these were all sent by Yusuf one after another to investigate the enemy's situation, and if he learned that Hasim had been completely annihilated, he would inevitably send a large group of men and horses again, because Jiuquan was a place that must be saved, and it must not be dissolved in someone cutting off their back road.

At noon on the third day, Zhang Yuanzuo's subordinates captured alive a eunuch who seemed to be of high status, and after the interrogation of the Persians, it was learned that this person was the confidant of the governor of Khorasan.

This eunuch was the same as McJid, who had had a secret conversation with Youssef before, and McJid originally wanted to stay in Zhangye, but Yusuf disliked him as an obstacle, so he found many reasons and gave a large number of goods and people to persuade the senior eunuch to leave for the west.

If Yusuf learned that the eunuch Mejid had fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, he would have been overjoyed. Khorasan's governor Abbas relied on eunuchs to control his every move in the east.

It's not a pleasant feeling to have a person on your head all the time.

Therefore, Yusuf attaches great importance to this Eastern Crusade, just looking at its delay in the decisive battle of the main force of the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that the stability of the use of troops definitely does not want to be so incompetent as rumored outside.

Otherwise, it is really unreasonable for the Tang Dynasty to be beaten by the big food generals in the Western Regions.

……

Hasim fell to his knees, his legs trembling, and even the words that came out of his mouth became meaningless pronunciations.

'Tell me, where have all the people I sent to you gone?'

Hasim said in his stomach that he had gone to see the Grim Reaper, but he never said it, and if he said so, it would only make Yusuf even more angry, and it would probably be even more difficult to save his life at that time!

Presenting the letterhead brought by Zhang Yuanzuo respectfully to Yusuf, Hasim stood aside and waited for Yusuf's reaction.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Hasim's legs were numb from standing, and Yusuf still did not react.

I saw him fold the letterhead neatly, and then asked slowly and slowly:

"Do you know what the Tang Dynasty people said?"

Hasim was confused, he didn't want to know what the damn Tang Dynasty general said, he only thought about the Tang Dynasty general's assurance, staying must be a dead end, only by leaving Yusuf, leaving Yousuf forever, can he save this life!

"The Tang people are arrogant and incompetent, I'm afraid they are showing off, showing off!"

Suddenly, Yusuf's eyes turned cold and he reprimanded:

"They're showing off, aren't they showing off when they let you, the general of the defeated army, come back?"

Hasim was frightened, he knew that what the Tang Dynasty general had said before must have been a lie, and it seemed that he was in danger.

Yusuf did move to kill, but soon regained calm, the purpose of the Tang Dynasty people was to provoke themselves, if this fiery temper was allowed to spread, it would only end up in the Tang Dynasty.

"Let's talk about it, the reality of the Tang Dynasty people, give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, otherwise the gallows will be your final destination!"

Yusuf used to punish criminals with gallows, and just thinking of those who were put to death made Hasim tremble and tremble and could not speak.

However, it is clear that Yusuf did not mean to kill Hashim this time, and said some cruel words just to intimidate him, so that he would be guilty of meritorious service. Moreover, now only Hasim has seen this Tang soldier who can turn into most of the west of the river without knowing it, and keeping him is far more profitable than killing him.

The defenders of Zhangye were already dying, and the main forces of the Tang Dynasty were delayed. Now that there is a vanguard of Tang soldiers who are frequently clamoring and provoking, Yusuf has already moved the mind of personally leading his division to eliminate it.

Of course, the brigade still has to stay in the siege of Zhangye, and the bait must not be abandoned. But for the cavalry that infiltrated Jiuquan in Hexi, it must not be let go.

Hasim's description exaggerates the size and strength of the Tang soldiers, so as to minimize the culpability of their defeat.

Listening to Hasim's description, Yusuf habitually clasped his fingers.

"So, there are at least more than 10,000 cavalry in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Indeed, there are more than 10,000 people. ”

Yusuf was noncommittal, but with his many years of experience in leading troops, the number of 10,000 people may be exaggerated, and it would be good to have 5,000 people as a pioneer.

The only headache now is that it is said that these cavalry stole tens of thousands of military horses from the Shandan Horse Farm, and with these military horses, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was even more powerful.

If the other party makes up their minds to avoid a fight, it may not be easy for Da Shi to catch up with them.

Counted the generals under his command, and every one of them could reassure Yousufu, or he had some itching skills, from crossing the green ridge to the city of Zhangye, he hardly encountered a decent enemy. Now that he finally has a good-looking opponent, how can he let it go so easily?

That night, a cavalry of 3,000 men drove out of the barracks, all the cavalry were one man and three horses, and then the bright moonlight looked like a team of 10,000 horses galloping on the boundless Gobi from a distance.

This time, Yusuf wants to let the Tang man who doesn't know the height of the sky know what a lesson is, and at the same time, he also wants to make him pay the price for his rival's rash advance, and pay a painful price!
