The five thousand people definitely didn't come to die, and Xiaoshuai immediately knew that his work was coming again.

Xiaoshuai rushed to the front with his personal guards. Sure enough, Sparta led several Kurdish generals to negotiate with You Yijun.

Seeing the entourage gathering behind Xiaoshuai, this style was obviously the leader. Sparta spoke a few words of Persian to them, and several generals came over to kneel down on one knee, "See Your Majesty by surrendering Kurd."

Su Quanzhong was about to step forward, but then retreated.

Ilena next to Xiaoshuai was a translator. Although she usually speaks Armenian and hates Persian, Armenia has been ruled by Persia for a long time after all, and in fact she understands Persian.

Xiaoshuai encouraged him a few words, but because he couldn't speak much, he didn't talk much.

The Kurds lived in the northern part of the Mesopotamian Basin, the southwestern Persian Plateau and the southeastern Asia Minor. Two-thirds of them turned out to be ruled by the Great Cannibals, and the remaining one-third were in the territory of the Roman Empire.

From these Kurdish people, after the Dashi army of Basra split, Ali led the remaining troops to make some adjustments, and did not stay in Basra, and directly withdrew, preparing to defend Taixifeng.

Basra was built seventeen years ago. When the Cannibal conquered Persia, he camped here and besieged Avas. Later, the abandoned military camp became the prototype of a city.

Because the establishment time was short, there were not many residents here. Although the city was strong, there were not many food and grass. The food and grass that were the most powerful was thrown into Avas, so it was difficult to fight if the food and grass were not good enough.

Moreover, after the Dayuezhi army absorbed the surrendered troops of the Persian vassal of Dashi, its troops had reached nearly 150,000, almost three times that of the Dashi army.

The people of the big food industry were depressed and the food was tight. The new Caliph Ali simply announced this morning that he would give up Basra temporarily and prepare to return to his nest, Taixifeng, to reorganize his troops.

A dispute immediately broke out within the 10,000 Kurdish vassal who were left behind. Ali withdrew his troops and the Persian plateau returned to the Great Yuezhi.

Half of the Kurds' soldiers were in the Persian Plateau. Their hometown was about to be lost. They immediately had no intention of following the cannibals and secretly connected them to join Xiaoshuai.

The Kurdish infantry did not have any horses. The big cannibal found that the troops broke the rear were half running but did not dare to chase them. They were afraid that they would not get out of the way when they met the chasing Dayuezhi people.

Ali simply hurriedly led the remaining more than 40,000 people to the old nest in Taixi. There were abundant resources and sufficient food and grass. The Great Cannibals managed for a long time and could wait for their work to fight to drag the Great Yuezhi people out of their food and retreat.

The commander Pei Xingjian arrived and immediately arranged the places for the Kurdish heavy infantrymen to equip them with spare horses. In a blink of an eye, the army added five thousand horse-riding infantrymen.

The military situation changed, and the expected Battle of Basra could not be fought. Pei Xingjian immediately organized a temporary combat meeting.

The little coach followed Pei Xingjian to the central army tent. The two commanders Chen Cheng and Shao Shude were quickly recruited. The four of them sat down. Pei Xingjian informed the new information brought by the Kurds.

The cannibal ran away, what should I do next? Chen Cheng was the first to speak, "Lord, we have been sending troops for more than four months, and the soldiers are very tired. The vast occupied areas are still in a state of autonomy. It is better to stop here and consolidate the existing results."

Pei Xingjian shook his head and expressed his disagreement with Chen Cheng's opinion, "Four months are nothing. The Tang Dynasty's troops attacked the Western Regions, and it took five or six months to march.

Now Xue Rengui's soldiers have passed Lanshicheng. They have been marching for more than five months. They have not started the war yet, and they have not been tired.

But I agree with another statement from Commander Chen.

The original Persian territory we occupied is already vast enough. If it is not effectively governed, those Persian local armed forces will inevitably have ambitions. It is not enough to rely solely on the surrender of Bahram and the civil servants of Wang Chenglong.

First, a regular army must be stationed in important places, and then generals must be sent to recruit city defense soldiers in various places. Wang Chenglong sent local officials to various places with force as a backing, and then established a three-level system of field troops, city defense soldiers and reserves before they could begin to effectively rule.

When our tax police and public security forces are established, the powerful nobles from all over the country can pay tribute honestly and merchants can pay taxes."

Although Chen Cheng and Pei Xingjian had slightly different opinions, they didn't want to fight any more.

In fact, the four important officials in the tent, except Shao Shude, were participants in the important imperial meeting before sending troops to Persia. The plan was set at that time that the Dayue soldiers fought until Avas.

Because of the change in actual war situations, Ali was defeated and fled to Basra, and the army chased after him.

Shao Shude had already heard the trick here. He was the Protector of the Bhada Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. He conquered Taixifeng and the Two Rivers Basin would be under his control. Therefore, Chen Cheng kicked his eyes and said that the army was exhausted after four months of dispatching troops.

He clearly saw that the generals and Hongbei were all energetic, and they were all thinking about making new contributions. Pei Xingjian was more fair in his words, but he was commanding his fifth brother's troops, so why did he have to work hard to seize territory for himself?

Forget it, I should rest assured to fight my own territory and take a safe life. I stood up and looked at Xiaoshuai, "Fifth brother, I think that now Ali is newly defeated, and the great cannibal has just split and his morale is depressed. It is the time to pursue the victory.

If they wait for them to return to Taixifeng, it will be difficult to recover after a while. Since..."

As soon as he said this, he immediately flew out of the account and reported, "Report, there is an emergency military information."

After being recruited immediately, he knelt down on one knee and saluted without hesitation. "Muaweiye, the governor of Dashi, led 50,000 Dashi reinforcements, and had arrived in Susangailde, only one hundred miles away from Avas."

Everyone was disgraced. The food reinforcements arrived so quickly that everyone was unpredictable.

Muaweiye had previously led 40,000 people to attack Erzurum, the last stronghold in Armenia. He also had 20,000 under him on the Mediterranean coast, on the Syrian pass, confronting the Roman Empire.

It shouldn't be so fast to draw troops from these two places to reinforce Awas's cannibals. And generally speaking, how could Awas, who had 100,000 people guarding him, fall in the short term?

This Muaweiye seems to be a person who is quick and decisive and capable, and he should be loyal to the Ottomans so that he can arrive quickly.

But it was too late to come at this time. Ottomans had already surrendered, the big food had already split, and Muaweiye should have no way to cause big waves.

Pei Xingjian slapped the table, "We must return to Avas immediately. There are only 20,000 reserves under Mr. Luo to defend temporarily. If there is a fall, our food route will be cut off.

Moreover, we have no heavy troops towards Isfahan and Tehran, so the situation may take a sharp turn. If I were Muaweiye, I would not have a decisive battle with our main force, but would have quickly defeated Avas, and then headed northward to attack our retreat.

Once Isfahan falls, our food and grass will be cut off and the army will be in danger."
