Two days later, the Southern Expedition departed.

There are 6,500 people in Mohedagan's headquarters, plus thousands of righteous followers, the momentum is immense, and at a glance, the momentum of tens of thousands of horses can be described as spectacular.

Whether it is a scoundrel or a modest, in short, Gu Si became a rear army, and together with Li Huaitang's army, there were also thousands of men and horses, and they marched in the direction of Mulu with the army.

"How can this be true? That one is too ruthless, only giving me a thousand people, but he actually wants to share it with me. ”

On the road, the grumbling of bone sipping flew all over the sky.

Seeing that Gu Si brought all the 2,000 captives he had just taken into his pocket, Li Huaitang really wanted to kick him. In the desert, these ineffective creatures can only play the role of wasting water and food.

Li Huaitang said angrily: "Isn't that good." You can take the opportunity to set up a sleeve for Moheda to dry drill. Let Du Mo not get his share, and he has to go to Moheda for trouble. ”

"Makes sense, makes sense. This time, I'm going to have to pay for it all over again. ”

For a rare time, a sinister expression crept up on the bone's face.

Khorasan Governor's Palace, Mulu.

Governor Ashlath confronted several of the soldiers who had fled from Bukhara. His envoy, Sukhail, also stood beside him, waiting for inquiries.

"The Turks deceived me too much, and they dared to pursue it to Wuhushui! You damned, incompetent guys, and the face to come to me? Pull me out and cut it! ”

Ashlath vented his anger that had been building up for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that a few years ago, the caliphate of Damascus squandered tens of thousands of Khorasan elites in the war with Byzantium, and the former governor was defeated several times by the Turks at Bathhanna, would he be so embarrassed now? There were no soldiers, no morale, and no morale, and they watched as all the areas in the middle of the river fell to the hooves of the Turgish. He has just taken over not long ago, is it that he was kicked out of office like this?

"Governor. These people are the elite warriors of Khorasan, and now we are lacking in experienced warriors, should we spare them and give them a chance to atone for their sins. ”

Sukhail spoke cautiously.

When Ashrath heard this, he restrained his anger, glanced at Suhair, and said after a while: "Forget it, for Suhail's sake, spare you from death." ”

"Thank you, thank you Governor, thank you Sukhail."

Several pale soldiers kept thanking God.

"Shut up. You will follow Sukhail from now on, and soon you will have a mission. Ashlath said impatiently, "Get out, get out of here and wait." ”

"Suhair, you say, that Shi Guoren is willing to give way to our Samarkand army to withdraw?"

Ashlas asked Sukhail this question again, and he found it a bit unreliable. There is also a question, he thinks that the disappearance of the caliph's princess is very likely to be related to Shi Guoren. However, this is an excuse to ask the caliph for the rescue of soldiers, and he must be confused when he should be confused. Besides, Sukhail also shook his head blankly.

Although Sukhail had also heard about it and guessed that the amazingly beautiful little lady that night was likely to be the legendary princess, he did not dare to make any extraneous troubles. Automatically filtering out this memory, Sukhail opened his mouth to only talk about Li Huaitang's sincerity, and also gave the token of Shi Guojun to Ashlath for inspection.

Sukhail remained deferential, "Yes, Governor. That's exactly what they say. ”

"Then, you say, why didn't they mention conditions?"

The temptation for nearly 10,000 Samarkand troops to return safely to Khorasan was great enough. In any case, it is worth trying, and only in this way can he keep his position as governor.

"Conditions, I also asked at the time. But they insisted that you, the governor, mention it. ”

Sukhail was troubled, fearing that the governor would angrily put the hat of incompetence on him.

"Let me mention it?" Ashlath muttered to himself in confusion, "Gold? Oh no, what do they lack? What do they need most? Sukhail, think about it. ”

Ashlath felt that he understood the psychology of Shi Guoren, but he was afraid that I would settle accounts with them in the future, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to put forward conditions. Ashlath smiled smugly.

Sukhail couldn't believe his eyes, this governor didn't laugh angrily? I didn't dare to ask too many questions, so I had to try my best to remember and think, yes! What do these bandits need most?

Li Huaitang's identity as a horse bandit was automatically concealed by Suhail, and he didn't dare to tell Ashlas the truth, because even he didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, so he didn't know it.

"Horses, war horses! It must be. ”

Sukhail suddenly said that since he was a horse bandit, he needed war horses without exception.

"And, there's the Damascus scimitar."

Sukhail suddenly remembered the deal Li Huaitang had reached with himself, and he had just had a flash of inspiration, so why not take this opportunity to pretend to be public and private? Anyway, when the time comes, it will be you who will negotiate and trade, which is really a wonderful plan. What do the Tang people say? Kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone. Sukhail couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

Upon hearing the Damascus scimitar, Ashlas showed displeasure. War horses are acceptable, but the Damascus scimitar is a weapon of the country, and the Khorasan army is not officially equipped, so it is cheap for those infidels?

"The Great Eater Warhorse can, see how much they need. As for the scimitar, don't mention it to them, and don't dare to ask too much for them. Ashlath said solemnly.

Sukhail did not give up, this was related to his vital interests, his eyes rolled, and he quickly hinted: "Before I came back, those Shi people had just fought with the Turgish people. I saw hundreds of Turgish heads in front of the palace gates. ”

Ashlath stood up in surprise, "Really? Why didn't you say it before? ”

"I beg your pardon, the Governor, I have been kept in the dungeon by the Shi Guoren, I have not seen them fight, and I was in a hurry when I left Shi Guo, I only heard that they had a battle. I didn't really care about it, I just remembered this when I was thinking about what they needed. However, the heads are indeed Turkish, I can assure you. ”

"They also really have the courage and courage to fight the Turgish. In that case, you can really consider taking advantage of it. ”

Ashlath said as he thought.

Sukhail hit the railroad while it was hot: "General Shi Guo once hinted that he was interested in the Damascus scimitar. ”

Ashrath, who was brewing some thoughts, raised his eyelids and looked at Suhail, faintly sensing in his heart that something was wrong, these Shi people would not be so extravagant, did they want to use those precious Damascus scimitars to equip their army?

"Okay, interesting. Tell them that if you want a Damascus scimitar, you can. Let them exchange the heads of the Turgish. ”

Sukhail knew that this was a conspiracy by Ashras, who was using their desires to deepen the tension between them and the Turgish. It's vicious enough. Still, it's hard enough for yourself. Let's not talk about whether the horse bandits are willing or not, even if they do, the confirmation of those heads is enough for their own headaches, and this is not a pleasant feeling to be caught in the middle.

Ashlas thought of something again, "Give them some sweetness first, and I will give you ten Damascus scimitars, and you can bring them to show our sincerity." This deal, I agreed. My bottom line is a thousand Great Food War Horses, and as for what you say, it's your business. Don't let me down. ”

So little! Sukhail had the feeling of fainting......
