Looking at the scorched black, Abbas wanted to cry without tears, he knew that everything he had planned was over, what annihilated the Persian army, recaptured 600,000 dinars, and pacified Dutota, these became a joke.

He seemed to see countless people laughing at him mercilessly, but he could do nothing but let others laugh and scold him.

"It's over, it's all over, this time there is no capital to turn defeat into victory......"

Abbas muttered, not bothering to show his weakness in front of his men.

The generals of the Great Food Eater were all in shock, and when they saw the always tough governor so depressed, they were even more panicked, and they didn't know what to do.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the grain, the grain has been burned, we, what else are we eating?"

Faced with the questions of his subordinates, Abbas smiled bitterly:

"How much food do you have with you in the army, is it enough to last three days?"

"The food carried by the army is only enough to meet for one day, and the original plan was to transfer it from the base camp, but the weather turned bad and it was postponed for half a day, who would have thought that ......"

What happened next, needless to say, Abbas also knew.

Even if the grain is transported, it will only add one more day, and there will be another day of hunger.

In order to strike a balance between ease of operation and food security, Abbas would only carry with him the day's worth of military supplies when he was not in the base camp.

This was supposed to increase the combat operation capability, but it also tried a double-edged sword, once the back road is cut off, or the base camp is attacked, the entire army will face the catastrophe of annihilation.

"Order everyone to eat only one meal a day and halve the amount of food, which is enough to last for three days!"

Whether this military order can be carried out or not, Abbas is uncertain, but this is the only way.

As long as you insist on returning to Mulu City, you still have a chance to live, otherwise even if you don't get caught up and killed by the enemy, you will have to be torn to pieces by the starving rebels.

Abbas knew very well in his heart that in order to recruit these young men into the army, the methods he used were extremely ruthless, and many people died because of this. Especially those who are not * aliens, they hate themselves even more.

If someone takes advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos, I am afraid that even Abbas himself will have no good way to deal with it.

Carp City is ruled by Said, and Abbas is not too worried, although this man is a merchant, his ability and loyalty to the empire are far greater than those of the generals who are accustomed to the comfortable life.

For this reason, Abbas did not stay any longer, and resolutely took his personal entourage to embark on the road back to Mulu City.

The rest of the Great Eaters slowly retreated according to the military order, under the best constraints of the centurions and thousands.

None of this escaped the eyes of Qin Ying and Du Zhou, who watched the remnants of Abbas disappear at the end of the road.

Du Zhou said a little unwillingly:

"I don't know if the decision to let Abbas go is correct, if it is confirmed that this is the return of the tiger to the mountain, where will you and my brother have the face to meet the prime minister?"

Qin Ying sneered:

"What kind of tiger is Abbas? at best, he is an old sick tiger with all his teeth gone! Putting him back will only bring misfortune to Mulu City!"

Seeing that Qin Ying said so firmly, Du Zhou's slight hesitation was swept away, and then he rubbed his palms with some excitement.

"This battle is considered to be won without victory, Brother Qin puts a long line to catch a big fish, even if it can't be effective immediately, in the future, it will be a lot of money in front of the prime minister!"

Qin Ying's identity, of course, Du Zhou clearly knew that this person was born as a slave of the Qin Jin family. It is said that when Qin Jin was a lieutenant general in the Shenwu Army, eight domestic slaves were returned to him as free bodies, and all of them were put into the army.

Only this Qin Ying is young and has always followed Qin Jin's side.

This time it was released separately, and it was a blockbuster if I didn't want to.

Du Zhou secretly sighed, Cheng is really like God's help, even the house slaves are famous generals.

In fact, Qin Ying still has his plans.

The reason why Abbas was released was more for the eyeliner that Qin Jin had worked so hard to place inside the Great Food, Said.

If Abbas dies or is captured, Said will inevitably be killed as a scapegoat by the magnates in Mulu City, so Qin Jin's hard work will be in vain.

Letting go of a sick and frightened Abbas is, on the whole, far more beneficial than disadvantageous.

These must be kept strictly secret, the less one person in the world knows, the less dangerous Saied is, even if Du Zhou, a young veteran who has thrown himself into the five bodies of the Shenwu Army, cannot confide half a word.

"Now it's only half the battle, as long as we catch Iplasin, we will immediately triumph!"

……

Heavy snow fell for two days and three nights at the foot of the Green Ridge Mountain, and the banners of the camp that stretched for miles were swaying, and the neighing of war horses broke the silence of the early morning from time to time.

As the sun rose from the other end of the mountain, and the trumpets sounded, the earth, which had been silent all night, awoke in an instant, and the tall gates suddenly opened, and the lightly armed knights galloped out, and the patrolling soldiers were in place.

Soon, the curling smoke rose from the cooking, and the barracks was immediately reinvigorated.

Smelling the smell of rice, Qin Jin began to brush his teeth and wash his face, which was a must-have for him every morning.

The generals in the army felt that this was a set of red tape and disagreed, but he had been luring and instigating these men in the army in various ways to pay attention to oral hygiene.

Oral hygiene is not only a problem of yellow teeth and bad breath, many people will have a headache with tooth decay, and over time, the teeth will gradually be damaged and fall off, and it will directly affect people's life expectancy.

After all, this is the Tang Dynasty, which has a backward medical level, and even the princes, nobles and even emperors cannot escape the torture of illness. Even a small toothache can inadvertently cost you your life.

Qin Jin didn't want these tiger generals under his command to ...... early because of dental problems

"Victory...... What a victory!"

The scout's voice was loud and urgent.

Qin Jin spit out the mouthwash and followed the prestige, but saw a soldier rushing over, this was his herald.

But any kind of good news that was hyped up in the military camp must be a great victory, and Qin Jin's heart was relieved, knowing that the battle between Khorasan and Tocharian should be the first victory.

"Soldiers besiege Mulu City...... 600,000 dinars of compensation...... Capture alive the nephew of the governor of Khorasan, Iprasin......"

These points fell on Qin Jin's ears one by one, and each one surprised him doubly.

"600,000 dinars?

Qin Jin had some knowledge of the currency of the Great Cannibals, 600,000 dinars was almost equivalent to millions of guan money in the Tang Dynasty, and when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, the annual tax revenue was only 20 million guan.

This amount of money is huge.

The reason why the word reparations is used is that it must not have been plundered.

In this regard, Qin Jin became interested, how did Qin Ying, this kid, do it?
