……

"Then, according to what you said, 100,000 gold dinars, and after I take down the Talas, I will definitely keep my promise and send it to your ministry."

Seeing that the casualties were getting heavier and that there was a risk of mutiny if they continued to force them, the Abbasids decided to use their own private treasury to pay for the group of mercenaries.

But No, Suosi shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Caliph, 100,000 gold dinars, that was the previous price,

You will now have to pay five times the price of your original booking. ”

When Sulman heard this, he immediately pulled out a Damascus knife and put it against Suosi's neck: "You want to blackmail us? Have you ever wondered what the consequences will be? ”

Suo Xi smiled faintly and said calmly: "This is not blackmail, but a reassessment of the enemy's strength, obviously we underestimated the strength of the Han army too much before,

At the moment, the price naturally has to be doubled, General Sulman, His Excellency the Caliph has not spoken, what are you anxious about? ”

Sulman turned his head to look at Abbas, waved his hand, motioned for him to let go, and then slowly walked up to Sosi and said, "Your Excellency is too shameless to sit on the ground and raise the price. ”

Sosi replied nonchalantly: "Your Excellency Caliph, isn't it only by acting as a mercenary that my Parthian kingdom is where it is today?" ”

Abbasid was silent for a long time and said: "I hope you can understand that my empire has just been established, and the country is still full of holes, and it is impossible to come up with so much money for a while. ”

Suoxi said: "The wealth of the Great Food, who doesn't know the entire Central Continent realm?" It's only 500,000 gold dinars, how can it be difficult for you? ”

Abbasid: "But you should know that this upheaval is the result of Malwan's reckless military force, and in the next three or four years, the Great Eclipse will not be able to return to the riches it once was." ”

Suosi thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "If you can't come up with the money, you can exchange it for other things." ”

Abbasid frowned: "What's that?" ”

"Baghdad!"

When Sulman heard this, he immediately put the knife on Suoxi's neck again: "You bandits, you want me to eat the imperial capital?" It's just wishful thinking. ”

Sosi smiled: "You misunderstood, the Parthians have no interest in land that cannot be cultivated and grazing, I mean hoping that the city of Baghdad will be open for my Parthian army for three days,

In three days, everything in the city will belong to my Parthia, and of course, we promise not to infringe on the areas of the royal family and nobles, and you have reason to refuse such conditions? ”

"It's absolutely impossible!"

Abbasid's answer was categorical, and his face was more resolute than ever.

"I can become the caliph of the great food, I can't do without the help of thousands of people who want to change their fate, if I agree to you such conditions, I will become a butcher who will be stinking for thousands of years!

Bishop Muslim taught us to be kind to others, and if I had to abandon my own people, what difference would that be with the decaying Umayyad Empire?

If I did, I would be spurned by God, and hated by the people, and even if this crusade failed, I would not allow such a ridiculous thing to happen, never! ”

Abbas's young face was full of fortitude, this is the responsibility of an emperor, to protect his people, to protect his own land, how can he let this war-torn land fall into a deeper hell?

Not to mention the situation of the Parthians, the Abbasids and even every soldier present knew very well that it was a group of animals that ate people and did not spit out bones, and no amount of food could satisfy their greedy appetites!

At the very least, the Monroe people have a principle, as long as you are willing to surrender and offer the specified goods, they will not harm you, and even the slaughter of the city has a tradition of not killing women, children, and young children.

But the Parthians did not care so much, they were like locusts on horseback, where no grass grew, and they never spoke of credibility.

Surman still remembers that the Sassanid Empire had to recruit 5,000 Parthian cavalry in order to resist the Seljuk attack.

Even if the concubines of the Sassanid royal family became slaves of the Parthian cavalry, the princess was taken captive to Parthia and became lowly prostitutes, and her fate was miserable, and countless riches fell into their pockets.

However, the Sassanid Empire's top brass was helpless about it.

The past was vividly remembered, and the Abbasids were naturally very wary of it, and they kept a certain distance from Parthia, neither offending nor being close to it.

But they didn't know that because of the Abbasid's categorical refusal, Sosi had secretly held a grudge.

"Lord Abbasid, I really chose to help you for the sake of our friendship, are you going to refuse the kindness of Parthia just like that?"

Sosi's tone was calm, but the threat in his words was clear.

Abbasid said: "Needless to say, thank you for your kindness, but this is a dispute between my Dashi and the Han army, so I don't need your intervention for the time being, and I will say hello to your new monarch Sulitai on my behalf." ”

In the last sentence, Abbasid had already ordered the expulsion.

Sosi stood there for a few seconds, then bowed slightly, jumped on his horse without saying a word, and ran out of the barracks.

As soon as he left, Sulman immediately said: "Parthians must report their defects, please take precautions against them." ”

"Hmm." Abbasid replied, and his gaze turned again in the direction of Talas, "We should think about how to eat this Han army." ”

……

More than 100 miles north of the Great Food Army, a cavalry camp of 20,000 people stood here.

This was the camp of the Parthian cavalry, which had been stationed here for more than half a month, waiting for Sosi's return.

Inside a luxurious cowhide tent, grease torches flickered, decorating the dark interior of the tent.

A burly general lies comfortably on a blanket, enjoying the service of a bewitching bearded woman.

After a while, someone outside the tent came to report: "General Tummergel, Sosi is back!" ”

The general was naked, quickly wrapped a blanket around his waist, combed his chest full of thick hair, and walked out of the tent.

"Where's the others?"

"General Tummer, I'm here."

Sosi hurried up to Tummergel, bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I've returned. ”

Tummegg grabbed him by the shoulder and asked, "How's it going?" Did the Great Cannibal grant our request? When will the troops be sent? ”

Sosi shook his head: "I'm sorry General, but the Abbasids rejected our kindness and drove me out of the camp. ”

Turmergel was furious: "Abbas, this stinky boy, is this planning to be an enemy of my Parthians?" ”

Suosi said: "The general does not need to be angry, although the big cannibals have rejected us, we can completely take back more benefits from them." ”

"What do you mean?"

"This is not the place to speak, please let me speak in the account."

"Good!"

The two enter the big tent together, and a conspiracy against the big food is about to begin.
