……

Outside Talas, the Parthian army had finished camping in the former Great Food Camp, and Sosi and Tummegg were sitting on woolen blankets, drinking their captured fruit wine, and in front of them there was a bonfire on which a freshly skinned sheep was erected.

Not long after, Sulman returned, saw Tumerger, and immediately said: "Your Excellency, the Abbasids will not surrender, and instead of continuing to work here, it is better to take this opportunity to march to Baghdad, where there are sufficient supplies and supplies." ”

Tumergel laughed: "The Abbasids are unwilling to surrender? Why is he? Hundreds of thousands of armies have been wiped out by me, do you still plan to turn over? Hahaha......"

When the generals on the side heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Sosi handed a glass of wine to Surman: "General Surman, I know what you have in mind, you want to return to Baghdad as soon as possible and become the true ruler of the Great Eclipse, right?" ”

Surman: "Now that the Abbasids are trapped in Talas, it's a perfect time for us to capture the Great Eat, and if we miss it, it's too late to regret it!" ”

"But, the Abbasids don't die, do you think you can secure the position of governor?" ”

Sulman was silent, obviously knowing that Abbasid's position in the hearts of the people was definitely not comparable to that of his own great general.

Sosi smiled and continued, "So you know very well that the Abbasids will never return to the Great Eclipse alive, and this is very important to you and us.

According to the previous agreement, we Parthians will help you seize the throne of the caliphate, but all the borders of the Great Food Nation except Baghdad must be open to us unconditionally for a month.

But I consulted with General Tummegg a little more, and felt that it seemed very uneconomical for us Parthians to take such a great risk to obtain such benefits.

So, now this condition has to be changed. ”

Sulman was shocked: "How are you going to change it?" ”

Tumergel took over: "First, the one-month period will be changed to three months, and in addition, the caliph's wife and royal children must be brought back to Parthia by us. ”

Sulman was shocked: "No! It's not what we say! I only promised you that the Great Food Realm will be open to you for a month, and you will never hurt the wife of the Abbasid or the royal family, and you will never do this! ”

Tummegg slammed his glass to the ground and said, "Sulman! We're here to inform you, not to discuss with you!

You know, without us, you would be in the position of governor! ”

"But how can you be so discredited!"

Sosi smiled: "General Sulman, please think about it, as soon as Abbasid died, would those members of the royal family just let it go?"

In that case, will you be able to sit in the position of governor? Aren't you afraid that they will fight back halfway? In fact, it will not do you any harm in doing so.

It even helped you clear the biggest obstacle on the way to power, and the big food will be controlled by you alone, so why not? ”

Sulman was silent, it was true that things had developed to the point where they were now, and he could only go on step by step.

After a while, Sulman sighed and said, "Are you sure you can kill the Abbasids?" ”

Tumergel smiled disdainfully: "The Abbasids are already trapped in the city of Talas, there is no oasis in that place, there is no water, they can't last a few days,

All we have to do is set up camp on the outskirts until they die of thirst. ”

Sulman: "How did the Han army survive after holding out in the city for fifty days?" ”

Suoxi was stunned: "I almost forgot, there is still a Han army in the city, damn it, this is a hard bone." ”

Tumergel also frowned: "This is not easy to do." ”

Sulman was stunned: "What? You Parthians also have people who are afraid? A remnant army of more than 1,000 people makes you tremble? ”

Suosi's face sank: "You are really lonely, you don't know how terrible your opponent's strength is, why do you think the Monroe people will fall apart,

It is because of the suppression of the Han Dynasty that the current Han Dynasty is no longer the sheep dynasty that was bullied by others, but a mountain that is difficult to cross.

I think you should also know this during this time. ”

Sulman frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"It seems that you really don't know how terrible the Han Dynasty is, and I don't wonder you are so fearless, thinking that you can conquer that country with hundreds of thousands of troops!" Tummegg said contemptuously.

Sulman: "I have long been against this crusade, but the Abbasids just won't listen, and it seems that my choice is the right one.

Two, even if you say that the Han Dynasty was very powerful, would the Parthians be afraid of it? ”

"Scared? Hahaha......" Sossi laughed, "Sulman, I don't know how you came up with this ridiculous idea,

The Parthians have always been paying for things, as long as the benefits you give are attractive enough, we can pierce a hole at the end of the world! ”

After speaking, he got up and said: "Surround the city of Talas, wait for the arrival of the king of Sulitai, and conquer it in one fell swoop!" ”

"What? King of Suritai? Sulman was surprised, "He's here too?" ”

"Personally leading 50,000 iron horsemen, he is rushing towards Talas, and he will arrive in ten days at the latest." Sosi smiled and said, "So you can rest assured that you will be your caliph, right?" ”

Sulman, however, turned pale, for he knew that Suritai, who was not yet thirty years old, was more cruel and greedy than the previous Parthian kings, and that when he came, the people of the Great Food would suffer unimaginable disasters.

……

In the city of Talas, several soldiers of the Great Food kept pointing at the Han soldiers who were digging wells.

After a long time, one of them finally spoke up and asked, "What's the point of you doing this?" There is no water here, so it is better to save some energy. ”

Perhaps because of the language barrier, or perhaps for other reasons, these baggage soldiers turned a deaf ear to the kindness of the Great Eclipse soldiers, and continued to dig deeper into the bottom with the iron pickaxe in their hands.

On the other side, the Abbasids looked at the Parthian army that had been assembled in the distance, and a sense of despair rose in his heart.

Ahriman, who was on the side, comforted: "Brother, you don't have to worry about that traitor, he is not worth it. ”

Abbasid shook his head: "I'm not worried about that traitor, I'm thinking about how we can get back to Baghdad, I really didn't expect it to be so bad." ”

Ahriman glanced back at the busy Han army: "Brother, why don't we take advantage of the results of that Han army general now and seize their water source......"

"Ahriman! When did you become so insidious? The Abbasid said angrily, "They saved us at a critical time, and even if we were once enemies, we cannibals should know what it means to keep our promises!" ”

Ahriman lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry brother, it's me who didn't think about it. ”

Abbasid added: "We are now in the same camp with the Han army, and the enemy is eager to see us in internal fighting, and this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen!" So please take back your dirty thoughts! ”
