After seven days of repair, the army officially marched to Elam City, and after a morning's work, Wang Renli suddenly received an urgent delivery from the prime minister.

Prior to this, the Prime Minister had received a report of the battle in Ilam and the capture of the city of Elam.

"The general repeatedly, where did the prime minister ask me to go?

Kazar was incredulous, and asked Wang Renli again to confirm.

"That's right, the prime minister has already arrived in Susa, where do you plan to stay for three days, and you are waiting for His Royal Highness!"

Then Qajar asked:

"Do you know what the prime minister is going to do when he recruits me?"

Wang Renli said with a smile:

"The Prime Minister intends to officially help you sit in the position of caliph in Susa!"

"Really?"

This is really an unexpected joy, if the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty comes out in person, it will inevitably greatly improve his prestige, and the surrounding tribes may also measure the power of it.

The core tribes of the empire were not harmonious, and were also full of factions as in Ctesiphon's court. There are those who support Mansur, and there are those who oppose him.

After al-Mansur succeeded to the caliphate, it was impossible to eliminate all opponents, and could only focus on suppressing them in the court.

The tribes in those places, whether they support him or not, can only focus on entrapment, and will never choose to use force unless someone blatantly sends troops to rebel.

In this case, Qajar has his own calculations, if he really becomes the caliph of the empire with the support of the Tang people, and fights against al-Mansur, coupled with the eye-catching performance of the Tang Dynasty's victory in the previous number of battles, many tribes who oppose Mansur must have been ready to move, and as long as he makes a little instigation, he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold, as for taking Ctesiphon, this is still very far away for him.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to Susa and meet the prime minister!"

Wang Renli's task was still to go to Elam and completely take over the military and political affairs there, so he could only send another person to lead 2,000 men to escort Khazar to Susa.

Susa is an ancient city of the Persian Empire, which has a history of five or six thousand years. But after a long time, under the vicissitudes of life, the achievement of the former glory is still only the ruins of ruins, and only a small city with tens of thousands of people remains on the ruins.

He felt that Qin Jin's trip must have another purpose, not just to help Qajar sit in the position of caliph, but he was at a loss for a while.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure it out, so I just didn't think about it, these big people need to think about the things that copper plates, and there is no need for me as a captain to have a headache about it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Khazar was escorted by 2,000 soldiers of the Shenwu Army to Susa.

Susa is in the southeast of Ilam, not far from Boslis, the reason why Qin Jin came here in a big circle, in addition to helping Khazar to ascend to the throne, there is another important reason, that is, he is going to return to the east, to take advantage of this small time, as many places as possible, in order to spread the influence of this western expedition to all corners of the conquered land.

Qin Jin knew very well in his heart that he might never have a chance to return to Persia once he went, and there were more places waiting for him to go back to fight in Chang'an.

The candidates who remained to guard the various places should be determined as soon as possible, including supporting the puppet Qajar to become a caliph, so that this person could fight against Mansur on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.

He planned to keep more than half of the western expeditionary force behind and make them the backbone of the garrison of Persia and other places, and then use the Sogdians, Tocharians, and Persians as coercive forces to stabilize these newly conquered lands.

As long as Qajar does not fall, Mansur will definitely have no time to care about the war with the Tang Dynasty, and no ruler will choose to fight a decisive battle with the outside world when there is internal unrest.

In this way, the Shenwu army in Persia and other places can get a chance to breathe, and by the time Mansur really frees his hand, the advantages and disadvantages have already been reversed.

What's more, it is still unknown whether Mansur will be able to overcome the hurdle of Qajar.

Susa is home to a large number of ancient ruins, with only the solitary pillars of the former palace and temple, the intermittent foundation stones scattered along the riverbank, and the mural carvings on the wind-eroded boulder walls.

Qin Jin walked slowly, he couldn't imagine how prosperous and magnificent this place was thousands of years ago.

Only the vague depictions on the stone walls silently tell the glory of the ancient Persian emperors and generals.

Today, it's an uninhabited area, with few weeds and endless sand except for crumbling rocks.

Thousands of years later, the city of Susa was a small city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people a few miles east of the ruins, with narrow roads, low and dilapidated stone houses, and even merchants who communicated with the East and West rarely passed through it.

Here, and not far to the east, Bosilis, seems to have become a forgotten world.

But Qin Jin knew that these two places were of great significance to Persia, and although Persilis had decayed, a large number of temples were still preserved, and although these temples were nine out of ten under the heavy taxes of the great cannibals, there were still many pious priests who remained, waiting for the day when they would be restored.

At the same time, in order to win the hearts of the people, the Great Cannibals also built many Great Food Temples in Boslis.

Although Boslis ceased to be a military center of the Empire, it became a true religious shrine.

Susa pales in comparison, like a dying old village.

After Qin Jin surveyed the terrain here, he felt that it was a good place to build a new city.

In the future, the new city will be repaired, which will be a chain for the Shenwu army to control southern Persia.

"Prime Minister, Qajar has arrived at the outskirts of Susa, do you want to bring him here?"

This made Qin Jin a little surprised.

"He's coming so quickly, he can't wait for the caliph's hat!"

Before Qin Jin could speak, Qing Xuzi, who had been accompanying him, hummed his unsmooth nose and said.

"No need, let him go into the city to rest for a day, and it's not too late to see you tomorrow, there are many ...... that are inconvenient for him to know about the terrain here."

The military officials were ordered to leave, and Qin Jin turned his head to look at Qing Xuzi.

"Real person, I'm not about to return east, whether to leave or stay, have you thought about it?"

Many of the backbone of the Shenwu army volunteered to stay and defend Persia.

Qing Xuzi has always been a little hesitant, on the one hand, he is reluctant to give up the good flower world of Chang'an City, but he also wants to stay and make contributions.

If you return to Chang'an, the Central Plains has been peaceful, there will not be many opportunities for war, here is close to the big food, open up the territory, destroy the country at every turn, just think about it is fascinating!
