Chapter 1188: It's Too Late to Go
"General, it's on fire again, Jiuquan can't stay for long!"
Issa has always been loyal to Yusuf, and even when Yusuf lost the battle and was about to lose again and again, he had no intention of turning his back on him. After this night's tossing, Issa knew very well that these chaos were all caused by Tang Bing before he arrived, and with Tang Bing's death, the chaos would only increase, and the fire in the city could never be just this one.
Therefore, Issa was determined to persuade Yusuf to leave Jiuquan City and leave Anxi, where the Tang people were determined to win. Otherwise, the Tang people will attack all the way with the power of victory in the Great War, and the soldiers and horses of Dashi will only suffer more and more.
It's better to avoid the Tang people's edge for now, take a breath, and then attack again.
Yusufu paused for a moment, he never expected that the first person to persuade him to leave Anxi was Issa, but then he smiled bitterly:
"Do you think I don't want to go? I can't go, Abbas is probably waiting for me to have this defeat in Khorasan, and then he just let that nephew who is not a good thing replace me......"
Issa disagreed.
"Iprasin's stupid donkey has never fought much, and even if Governor Abbas wants to promote his nephew, he should understand that his nephew is not capable of leading an army to defeat the Tang!"
At this time, talking about the Tang people, Isa's words were already full of jealousy, and they were no longer as before, only disdain and ease.
Of course, in Khorasan, there are few people who will face up to the Tang Dynasty, a few years ago with only one partial division to wipe out the Tang Dynasty army, and it is still often mentioned to prove the incompetence of the Tang Dynasty army.
Because of this, when Abbas chose Yusuf as the commander of the Crusade Army, almost everyone thought that Abbas had given Yusuf a big bargain, including Yusuf himself.
However, who would have thought that the first half of the Eastern Expeditionary Army was like a bamboo, and when it arrived in the Tang Dynasty soon, it was actually beaten and collapsed.
To this day, Yusuf still does not understand whether the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of a civil war? It is said that the generals who launched the rebellion had already conquered half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even many local governors did not listen to the orders of the imperial court.
After all, Yusuf was limited by his knowledge, and believed that the Tang Dynasty also had a governor under his jurisdiction.
Now it seems that the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty should be far less serious than those merchants said, and it may even be just some small rebellion that can't make waves.
It's just that it's useless to say anything now, the merchants of the Great Food naturally hope that the Great Food will conquer the land of the Tang Dynasty, and then they can be exempted from the commercial tax on the conquered land, this tax is not a small amount for the merchants, and they desperately hope that the Great Food army can conquer the territory of the Tang Dynasty, naturally out of their own interests.
From the very beginning, all parties were satisfied, and with the conquest of large tracts of land, a large amount of ownerless wealth was bought at a cheap price by the great food merchants who accompanied the army, and this wealth was shipped back to Khorasan for a hundredfold profit.
If this war spreads to Chang'an, the most prosperous and wealthy city in the legend, the wealth obtained is probably unimaginable.
It's a pity that now it can only stay in the imagination.
As the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister's soldiers and horses drew closer, Yusuf tasted fear for the first time.
But Yousuf was still angry, and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty actually used a descendant as an emergency vanguard to attack him.
And this general is still the most cowardly and incompetent one when he is under him, which is undoubtedly a humiliation.
To fight or not to fight?
Issa carefully persuaded Yusuf to withdraw his troops, but Yusuf's consideration was that in addition to not being able to get off the stage on his face, he would face Abbas's liquidation after he returned, and he was afraid that he would never have a chance to turn over.
Issa said:
"The general can be king in the river, and the Khazars in the north are also in chaos now, why not save their strength and go north?"
……
Du Qianyun found that the progress of the situation was much smoother than he imagined, and the big cannibal seemed to have given up the strict control of Qiuzi, and according to this analysis, he should have planned to escape.
At first, he really didn't plan to engage in some drama to seize the city by force, but now it seems that the big cannibal himself is not angry, and he can't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As for how to sing, Du Qianyun still took advantage of the situation and leveraged his strength to let his descendants go to death, even if he really defeated Qiuzi City, the gains outweighed the losses.
Merchants are best at trade trafficking, and it is unwise to let them kill people with knives.
There happened to be countless routs in Qiuzi City, and Du Qianyun quickly hit these routs with his idea.
Don't look at the routs are also big cannibals, but they have no unified command, and the restraint from top to bottom is just a plate of unstable loose sand that can be provoked at any time.
It may be difficult to get businessmen to work hard, but getting them to specialize in these things to sow discord is the best way to do it.
Du Qianyun's meaning was quickly conveyed layer by layer, and the huge merchant group in Qiuzi City began to move, and even a small number of big cannibals participated in it.
Issa soon found out that something was wrong, many of the defeated soldiers actually organized together to collectively ask for military pay, and the big cannibals did not say that there was a military pay, but the distribution of the spoils of war was shared by everyone, and the problem was here, there were several victories, in order for the army to advance quickly, there was no time to rob and share the spoils, but Yusuf also promised more than once that these booty would be counted as money in the future.
I don't know who took the lead in asking for this part of the money, Yusuf didn't have so much money in his hand at this time, and even if he had, he couldn't give it. Because after the defeat, the establishment has long been disrupted, which people belong to which department, these relationships have fallen apart, and naturally it is impossible to distribute the credit according to the previous record, even if it is forcibly distributed, it is a bad debt, once there is a number of disputes, it will only bring more trouble.
Yusuf was so troubled by the trouble that he finally had a plan to leave Qiuzi.
The mess in Qiuzi City can no longer be sustained, as for leaving, openly or secretly, Yusuf prefers the latter, the rebels are already difficult to control, even if these people are serious cannibals, it is useless. , should be disobedient or disobedient, and the most ferocious people are often these big cannibals with a high status.
After discussing with Issa for a while, he finally decided to leave tonight, in addition to taking away the thousands of elite guards that were still in the formation around him, let the remaining rebels and routs leave them to fend for themselves.
In the anxious waiting, the accident still appeared, a sudden fire completely disrupted Yusuf's plan, the plan to impose martial law and then take the opportunity to withdraw from the city was aborted, the streets were full of firefighters, and people came to report one after another, the fire point was not one, but the east, west, north and south, as for the place where the fire started, we have to wait for further reports......
