Although Pusidor brushed his sleeves away in the first peace talks, Zeng Hua still warmly entertained Pusedor, not only entertaining him with delicious food and drink, but also pulling this Persian peace envoy in any activities.

Pusidore watched the general of the Northern Mansion happily take a self-guided tour of Siwanjin City, and his heart was full of question marks. What is the idea of this Beifu general, why is he so calm, why is he not in a hurry at all? Could it be that he has eaten our Persian Empire?

After this period of observation, Psucidore had a general understanding of the deployment of troops in the northern provinces. He was already very sure that the main army of the Beifu people was all stationed in the Hezhong area, and there should be more cavalry troops operating on the periphery, and from various indications, the main force of these cavalry was not placed in the west, but in Tianzhu in the east and Tocharian in the south, and the Beifu cavalry operating east of Khorasan should be more harassing and restraining troops, and it seems that the general of Beifu has no intention of fighting to the death with the Persian Empire.

Pcedore was scrutinizing his guess. Although there are more than 300,000 people in Beifu, and they have used the river as a base and springboard for their advance, they still do not have the capital to fight a decisive battle with the Persian Empire. To the east was the province of Khorasan, which was already the territory and mainland of the Persian Empire. The Persian Empire had been in business there for hundreds of years, and if the people of the northern provinces invaded the empty province of Khorasan in the early winter at the time of the defeat of the British branches, they might be able to take advantage of it. But Beifu suddenly stopped advancing. Stopped in the middle of the river and Tochar, and lost such a "great opportunity" in vain.

However, it is not unreasonable for the people of Beifu to stop advancing westward, once they continue to advance, they will be counterattacked by the Persian Empire with all the strength of the whole country, and behind the people of Beifu there is a chaotic area in the middle of the river, maybe the newly harvested Western Regions will also be counted, it can be said that the battle line and logistics are thousands of miles away, no matter what kind of clever plan the people of Beifu have to reduce the demand for the supply of grain and grass in the rear, but this situation is extremely dangerous. In the event of defeat, the river could be lost, and the Persian Empire's army even took advantage of the victory to advance eastward and reach the city of the Western Regions.

Although the people of Beifu did not want to fight with the Persians anymore. But why is this general of Beifu so calm and indifferent, and why does he ignore the peace talks so much? What was his idea?

Pšidore thought about it, and his heart was always unsure, but he had confirmed that the people of Beifu would not fight the Persian Empire. Moreover, the weather was already cold, the ground was bitterly cold, and the brigade could not move normally, so Pucidore had to fight hard. Accept Zeng Hua's invitation and move around.

On this day, Pusidore was helplessly pulled out by Zeng Hua. Participated in the completion ceremony of the rebuilding of Dayun Guangming Temple in Siwanjin City.

Zeng Hua looted hundreds of highly respected scholars of Manichaeism. All of them are sent to the east. On the one hand, a lot of manpower and material resources were allocated to repair the Dayun Guangming Temple on a ruin. However, this restoration is not a complete restoration, but only half of the original restoration. The rest of the site was cleared and divided into squares, and according to Zeng Huadi's order, a blackened remnant wall that had been destroyed by fire was left on the original site, that is, on the side square of the rebuilt Dayun Guangming Temple.

Pusidore looked at the remnant wall that was in stark contrast to the rejuvenated Dayun Guangming Temple, as well as the stone tablet in front of it, and his heart was very panicked. Because he knows what is written on this tablet! This tablet recounts in detail in Chinese and Persian how the prince of the Persian Empire, the governor of Khorasan Province, burned down the Dayun Guangming Temple, slaughtered tens of thousands of Manichaeans, and how the people of Beifu restored the Manichaean temple and relocated thousands of Manichaean monks.

With a smile on his face, Pusidore watched the Manichaean monks solemnly perform Manichaean ceremonies with Zeng Hua and many other officials and generals of the northern provinces, as well as the people of the river. Seeing the elation on the faces of these monks, and their eyes full of tears revealed a kind of bitter relief, Pusidore secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, these Manichaean monks did not have the profound knowledge of the past and the present, they did not have the qualifications to move eastward, and they did not have the ability to spread the gospel and recruit believers, except for being able to do penance themselves, they were of no use to the spread of Manichaeism. The people of Beifu gathered these people from all over the river, which could not only "ban and ban" Manichaeism, but also win a good reputation, which is really a bird with one stone.

Pusidore turned his head to look at the people around him, looking at the helplessness and indifference on their faces, he couldn't help but sigh a long sigh in his heart, the real Manichaeans had already fled the river area, and the remaining people had already made up their minds to beg for a life in the "pity" of the people of Beifu, how could they dare to risk "danger" to believe in Manichaeism and visit the Dayun Guangming Temple? Perhaps in a few decades, the temple will become a museum of history, and its role will be similar to that of the ruined wall and stone monument.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, in the Dayun Guangming Temple lively celebration of the completion of the rebuilding after the completion of the ten days, Siwanjin City silently added six more holy temples, when the second day of the second month of February, the grand birthday of the Holy Lord, Siwanjin City and Pusidore looked at the people of Beifu who knelt outside the holy temple, listening to the wind and tide of praise, and suddenly found that Siwanjin City had been unconsciously caged with a strong atmosphere of the Holy Religion.

As the weather slowly warmed up after the Lord's birthday, Pceidor also took the initiative to hold three talks with Zeng Hua, but the gap between the two sides was too great, and neither of them would give in, and the result was still unhappy and fruitless. Zeng Hua still did not take the peace talks to heart, taking advantage of the spring season to "wander" around, and Pucidore also became calm with the letter from Khorasan Province, and became more and more patient to "entangle" with Zeng Hua.

By March, the riverine area had become warmer. The city is about the same latitude as Beijing in another world, and due to the surrounding environment, the average annual temperature is higher than that of Hebei, China. Winter wheat is about to begin to grow rapidly, and the cattle and sheep that have eaten the "dry food" for a winter are about to replenish their fat. Therefore, at this time, the Dihezhong area began to enter the busy farming and animal husbandry season.

And as the weather warmed up, Pusedore found a steady stream of tens of thousands of herders from the east, driving herds of cattle and sheep from the valley of the Illes River. Although they were tired, the cattle and sheep were also full of bitter cold

But the high-pitched and melodious singing of the herdsmen and the cheerfulness of the cattle and sheep show their mood at this time.

As Zeng Hua went out of the city to greet Di Pucidor, he soon understood that these herdsmen who respectfully bent down to Zeng Hua were real herdsmen, and Pucidore could even smell the unique smell of the Mobei Grassland and Jinshan Grassland on their bodies. These people all followed Zeng Hua for more than ten years in the Jinshan and Wuhe tribes, and they came according to the order that Zeng Hua had written the year before: all the sons below the eldest son of each household. Those who do not inherit their father's property and voluntarily move westward will be given twice the Yongye pasture and the rest of the fully taxed pasture, and the government will pay for the purchase of cattle and sheep.

According to the "Family Property Inheritance Law" passed by Beifu in the first year of Taihe. Each family can inherit the family's Yongye land and have only one son, who is generally the eldest son by default, or a son designated by the parents of the head of the family. This son can inherit the mature family Yongye field, and can also cumulatively grant a part of the Yongye field (the number is only one-third of the normal number of Yongye fields). He added it to the field of Yongye at home. For the rest of the land, the sons had to divide their families and re-establish their households, and the government would re-grant Yongye Fields, which were generally wasteland or newly developed land, and the government would provide ploughing cattle, sheep, farm tools and other materials. Help the people who have newly established households to open up wasteland. In the past ten years, Beifu has used this method of land granting not only to break the feudal family formation very effectively. A large number of related people were also relocated back to Hebei and Henan. It has become an effective means to guide the people to migrate on a large scale.

Now Zeng Hua is using this method again. The Wuhe and Jinshan regions were the first to migrate to the Yining River and Hezhong areas with their own tribes such as Eile, Turkic, Rouran, Xiongnu, and Xianbei to fill the ground vacuum there. These people almost moved together with the Western Expeditionary Army. But far behind these cavalrymen, they finally arrived at the same destination more than a year later.

Pusidor didn't know the mystery in this, he only knew that according to various circumstances, the Yining River Basin, the Shaye River Basin, and the vast area on the east bank of Yaozhishui (now the Syr Darya), except for the Yueban people who had already subjugated Beifu, the rest of the Wusun people, Kangju people, Yueshi people, and Sai people were probably more than half of them died under the hooves of the Beifu people's westward expedition, and the remaining people only had two roads, some of which were said to have a relationship with Beifu, and the Wusun and Yueshi people who were said to have a relationship with Beifu surrendered to the Beifu people and integrated into the Beifu people, and the rest of the Kangju who escaped with their lives. The Serbs fled either westward across the Aral Sea or southward across the Transoxiana, where they joined their migrated tribes in the Tocharian and Sintou regions.

Also in the Transoxiana region, forced by the military might of Beifu, hundreds of thousands of Sogdians also fled south, leaving the rich Hezhong region to the people of Beifu. The people of Beifu cleared these areas with sabers and strong bows, and they would definitely not abandon these rich and fertile fields and grasslands, but would definitely hand over these lands to their trusted people. From now on, it seems that the general of Beifu intends to hand over these lands to these real herdsmen.

This was followed by tens of thousands of Beifu people from Shule County, Shazhou, who were also riding horses, driving cattle and sheep, and pulling high carts, more like a group of farmers who would take over the farming fields in the Hezhong region.

When greeting these people, Pusidore found that a general standing next to Zeng Hua was emotional, and couldn't help but feel very strange, and muttered in his heart, could it be that these newcomers from Beifu have something to do with this handsome and jealous general? Pusi Dor's little bit was right, these tens of thousands of newly relocated people from Beifu were Xianbei people, and most of them were Murong Xianbei people. After being dispersed to various states for labor reform, these people not only abandoned their pastures to farm, but also integrated into the people of Beifu. This time, Zeng Hua specially issued an amnesty decree to exempt nearly 100,000 former Murong Xianbei people from their crimes, officially became commoners, and selected tens of thousands of them to change their Yongye fields and tax fields to the newly recovered Hezhong region, becoming one of the hundreds of thousands of Beifu people who moved westward. Seeing these old clansmen, how could Murong Chui not be excited?

With the arrival of more and more people who moved west from the northern provinces, the originally deserted Hezhong area immediately became lively. Soon, small towns and churches were established in oases and irrigated fields, and the people of Beifu, who had migrated west for more than a year, began to settle down to build their homes. They couldn't help but be excited when they saw the rushing medicine and black water, the water conservancy ditches that had been repaired by the Persian and Tocharian prisoners of war, and the fertile fields that had also been leveled by the prisoners of war.

However, Pusedore's heart became heavy as the number of herders migrating westward grew. He knew the power of nomads, especially those under the control of monsters like Beifu, which was even more terrifying. These herdsmen, who live in search of water and grass, will spread along the steppe to any part of the world, and these faithful and equipped herders have become very good cavalry, as exemplified by the black-armored cavalry that is running around the world in the eastern provinces of Tocharo, Sistan and Khorasan. Now Pusedor was very worried that these herdsmen or cavalry would follow the Kangju and Serbs, who had fled westward, and continue westward, across the Aral Sea, to occupy the region of Gorastia (present-day Turan Plain).

Psidore knew that this vast wasteland, north of Payati (in present-day northern Iran), was now the territory of the Scythians, but Psidore believed that the Scythians were no match for the Beifu people even if they were added to the Sai and Kangju people who fled westward. At that time, where will the defeated Scythians and Saichong and Kangju people go? If you continue to flee west, then there is nothing to do with the Persian Empire, but what if you flee south? Thinking of this, Pucidore couldn't help but shudder.

However, as soon as Pusedor had passed this information back to the Persian Empire, before he could get a reply and instructions from home, new circumstances and events disrupted Pusedor's plan for peace talks.

Note: The Turan Plain is located in Central Asia, belonging to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, connected to the Iranian plateau to the south and the steppes of southern Russia to the north. Also known as the Turan Lowlands, it is a vast inland basin with an area of about 150 square kilometers. The terrain is low-lying, most of which is less than 100 meters above sea level, and many areas are below sea level. Because it is far from the sea and deep inland, the climate is arid and there are large areas of deserts, among which the Karakum Desert and the Kyzylkum Desert are the two famous deserts in Central Asia.
