429 Aftermath Problem

……

By the time the sky was at dawn, the Han army and the Great Food Army had completely taken control of the Parthian camp.

The wreckage everywhere declares the cruelty of war, but it also shows the glory of the victors.

"Bring it up!"

Two soldiers of the Great Food escorted Surman to the Abbasids.

Sulman was shot in the leg and was unable to escape, and was eventually captured by the Han army and placed at the disposal of the Abbasids.

Seeing Surman, Aliman couldn't help but scold: "Surman, I never imagined that you would betray the Caliph, and even betray the Great Food Country, do you know how many people you will hurt by what you have done!" ”

Without saying a word, Sulman knelt quietly on the ground and waited for the Abbasid to fall.

After a long time, Abbasid asked, "Surman, do you have anything to say now?" ”

Sulman shook his head: "The minister has nothing to say, let the caliph dispose of it." ”

When Aliman heard this, he immediately suggested: "Caliph, allow me to burn him." ”

Abbasid did not reply directly to Ahriman's words, but continued to ask: "Surman, I know that everything you have done is for the sake of the Great Eclipse Future,

But you chose to cooperate with the enemy, but it is a big mistake, let me ask, if you really let the Parthians enter the territory of my Great Eclipse, do you know how many people will be destroyed? ”

Surman: "The Caliph doesn't need to say much, but I hope that you will leave me a whole corpse for the sake of my many years of service to you, and that my wife and daughter are innocent, and please don't embarrass them." ”

Abbas's face was calm, and he waited for Surman to finish before he slowly spoke: "Surman, what you have done is really chilling, but I promise you that it will not harm your family.

However, they could not continue to live in Baghdad and enjoy aristocratic treatment, so they had to be sent to the Saracen realm as commoners. ”

"Then thank you Caliph."

Knowing that there was no way to be pardoned for his crimes, Sulman accepted the outcome.

After Surman was dragged down, Geng Gong came to the Abbasids and said, "It's a pity that you ran away from Tumergel and Sosi, otherwise this battle will be a complete victory, what are your plans next?" ”

Abbasid said: "I plan to gather the scattered subordinates, and then take them back to Dashi, and when everything is settled, I will take the delegation to Chang'an to personally visit His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and General Geng can go back to Dashi with me to rest for a while if he wants." ”

Geng Gong shook his head: "That's not necessary, after going out for nearly three months, presumably Bai Duhu is also in a hurry, and now that this is the case, General Ben should also return to the Western Regions to resume his life." ”

Abbasid nodded: "In that case, then I will not force you, General Geng, and please convey my apologies to Bai Duhu again, this matter is all caused by me." ”

Geng Gong was just about to agree, when he suddenly reported to Hu Qing: "In the northeast, there is a cavalry approaching, and the number of predicted is not less than 10,000!" ”

"Prepare for battle!"

Geng Gong and Abbasid ordered the two armies to merge and form a defensive formation, ready to defend against this unknown enemy force.

But soon, the returning scout said with a happy face: "General Geng, it's our people, the army of Bai Duhu is here!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the heartstrings of Geng Gong and even the soldiers of the Han army, which had been tense for many days, were finally relaxed, and many people sat on the ground with their butts and gasped for breath.

Geng Gong was also excited, but soon his face gradually sank.

After a short time, the Han army's iron cavalry surged, and the first 3,000 iron cavalry scattered across the Han army's 300 paces away.

Abbaston's face turned pale when faced with such a scene.

Not to mention anything else, judging from the visual impact alone, the cavalry on the opposite side are all elite divisions of a hundred battles, and the momentum they exude is enough to swallow a country.

Seeing this, Geng Gong immediately tidied up his armor, took the lead in the ranks, and shouted loudly at the Jingwei Flame Flag: "The Western Regions Protectorate!" The noble widow folded and rushed to the captain! Geng Gong! Welcome to Hakutogo here! ”

The next moment, the flags on the opposite side were scattered, and Bai Qi came to Geng Gong with Tian Yan and Xia Yu, as well as hundreds of personal guards.

"Captain Geng, thank you for your hard work, this trip to the Western Regions, your department should make the first contribution, and all the soldiers will be rewarded!"

Bai Qi didn't have too many words of encouragement, but what he said was very affordable.

For the elite of the Han army, superfluous words are a bit polite, and it is far more effective to tell them about the actual benefits.

After all, because of the widespread literacy rate, the Han army basically knew what they were fighting for, and too many words to describe it seemed delicate and contrived.

Bai Qi's words are just right.

Geng Gong gave a military salute, temporarily suppressed the resentment in his heart, and then stepped forward to briefly describe the current situation.

Then, Bai Qi turned over and dismounted, walked up to Abbasid, and said, "You are Abbasid, the monarch of the Great Eclipse?" ”

Abbasid saluted and replied: "General Bai's life is like thunder, and when I see it today, I am worthy of my name, I am the Great Caliph, Abbas." ”

Bai Qi replied directly: "How do you plan to deal with this matter, this dynasty's handling of foreign enemy aggression will be very serious, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today, this general will immediately lead the army into your Great Food Territory, please don't doubt it, I, Bai Qi, have always been true to my word." ”

Abbas: "I am willing to bear all the consequences, but I also ask Bai Du Protector to allow me a little time, and when I have finished dealing with the trivial matters in the country, I will personally go to Chang'an to visit the king of your country." ”

Bai Qi: "You don't think that such a big matter can be revealed when you see Your Majesty, right?" Are you thinking too highly of yourself, or are you underestimating me too much? ”

Abbasid: "I know it's useless to say anything now, but trust me, General White, and I'll do my best to make up for this loss." ”

Bai Qi thought for a while, and then said, "If it weren't for listening to Geng Gong talk so much just now, you wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to Ponthu now.

Okay, I don't embarrass you, as long as you agree to my two requests first, I will immediately withdraw the army and let you go back to Dashi, and I will also write to the court to prepare for your visit in advance. ”

Abbas: "General White, please." ”

"After you go back, no matter what method you use, you must eliminate the hostility of your people to our Han Dynasty, this is the most basic one, can you do it?"

"Naturally, I have seen the essence of your country with my own eyes, and I swear that the Abbasids will never be enemies of your country again during their lifetime."

"Second, my Han has formed an alliance with Baisai, and you can't block the trade routes along the way, and you can't charge any fees, can you do it?"

The alliance between the Han Dynasty and Baisai can be seen by looking at the fate of Shiguo, and since the Han Dynasty is willing to send troops for Baisai, this relationship is naturally extraordinary.

Abbasid immediately agreed: "I swear that I will not hinder the trade between your country and Baisser, but I also ask that I be allowed to participate in this trade route, and if I agree, I will be able to provide all assistance for the operation of this trade route." ”

Bai Qi said: "At this point, you have to go to Chang'an in person to tell Your Majesty, since you have agreed, then sign the agreement and contract, for a period of one year, you must personally go to Chang'an to explain to Your Majesty the intention to raise troops and the corresponding compensation.

The extra Pontus will not waste your tongue, you can leave now, remember what you said today, and if you have anything else to think about, you should know the consequences. ”

Abbasid bowed and said, "Thank you General Bai for the reminder, Abbasid has taken it to heart, please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

After finishing speaking, he saluted again, and after writing two agreements with Bai Qi, Geng Gong and others, he said goodbye and left.

The Battle of Talas has come to an end for the time being, but there are still many things waiting to be dealt with, which involves a national-level decision-making body, which is not something that Bai Qi can handle.

The affairs of the Western Regions have just been settled, but in Chang'an City, the top echelons of the empire are arguing about the situation in the South Seas.
