But asking them to do other things would not be very active. The last time they attacked Medina, this group of Persians were unwilling to follow. It was not until Su Chen captured Medina that they followed Li Chengqian.
Unexpectedly, this time Lapu Pasu actually offered to visit his homeland in Persia to help Su Chen get information.
Su Chen estimated that this group of people made the decision after seeing the power of the Tang Army and being stimulated by the sight of their hometown.
This is a good thing for Su Chen, so that he can avoid bullying Lapu Pasu!
When we arrive at the territory of the original Persia, of course we need to understand the specific situation of Persia now.
The Ham people all have a resistance organization against the cannibals. Wouldn’t the Persians, who had just been subjugated for a year, become obedient people of the cannibals?
Besides, their king Yisiqi is still on the run in the Khorasan area. The cannibals have been trying to catch him for a year, so he probably still has a lot of supporters.
It would be a good thing for the Tang army if the Persian resistance organizations were also brought over. They were much more useful than the Hams and Berbers, at least they were closer.
So even if Rapupasu didn't take the initiative, Su Chen would use coercion and inducement to make a trip, and Su Chen also wanted to get some oil, which would be of great help to Tang Jun.
We can't always let the big eater burn us with Greek fire, right?
After Lapu Pasu left, Su Chen always felt that this guy must have guessed that he would inevitably have to make a trip, so he just took the initiative.
The Great Ogre didn't seem to care about the Tang naval fleet occupying Jask, and didn't even send a reconnaissance ship to take a look at it from a distance.
Regarding this situation, Su Chen didn't bother to guess what the cannibal wanted to do. Anyway, he had to wait for information from the Persians, so he would just waste it.
The Strait of Hormuz seems to be very dangerous, but the Great Cannibals want to severely damage the Tang Dynasty naval fleet with their numbers there. Su Chen thinks that they are overthinking.
The Strait of Hormuz is thirty or forty kilometers long at its narrowest point!
This was not the case in the Singapore Strait last time, where the narrow area was only a few kilometers long, and Su Chen was ambushed due to his negligence. The Big Eater had a chance to achieve some results through a suicide attack.
This time the Tang Dynasty's navy was well prepared, and it was useless no matter how many ships the Great Cannibal deployed in Hormuz.
Time flies so fast, more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and by the end of the first month,
During this period of time, the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty has been staying in Jask honestly.
Since the enemy was close at hand, there were no other activities during the New Year and New Year's Eve except improving food for the army.
Some of the Persians who came ashore with Lapu Pasu came back and brought Su Chen good news:
They successfully found many forces that resisted the cannibal organization in the original Persia.
As Su Chen expected, there were many Persians who resisted the cannibals in the original Persia.
But Rappasu did not come back. He just asked the returning Persian to tell Su Chen that he would go to Bushehr and expected to meet Su Chen there.
Moreover, Rappasu entrusted the returning Persians to bring Su Chen a thick stack of maps, all of which were detailed maps of various port cities on both sides of the Persian Gulf.
Su Chen was puzzled by Rappasu's unauthorized actions. He frowned and asked the other Persians:
"Bushehr, it's more than two thousand miles away from here. Why does Lapu Pasu suddenly run there?
He also took away a hundred of my soldiers."
"Also, the map you brought back seems to be a military map of the original Persian military. How did you get this so easily?"
Several big cannibals who came back said to Su Chen:
"Commander, although Rappasu is a merchant, he is also a Persian aristocrat. His family has a strong influence in Persia. Many of his clan members were high-ranking officials in the Sasanian Dynasty of Persia."
"Bushehr is the hometown of Lord Rapupasu, and he heard that there are many Persians there who resist the food, and the leaders are Rapupasu's tribe, so Rapupasu wants to contact his tribe
."
"As for these military maps, Rappasu took them from a former Persian general who had been serving in the army guarding the coast of the Persian Gulf."
Su Chen was stunned, Lapu Pasu was planning to play big tricks!
I didn't ask in detail before, I didn't expect Lapu Pasu to have such a big background.
However, Lapupasu was able to escape to the Tang Dynasty when the Great Cannibal blocked the Persian Gulf. His connections should not be lacking, and his identity should not be simple.
Persia did not have the traditional national policy of the Tang Dynasty that emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce.
On the contrary, the status behind those wealthy Persian businessmen is generally not low.
However, when Lapupasu returned to his hometown, he took one hundred of his elite marines with him. This was a bit excessive.
Besides, why did that group of marines just follow Lapu Pasu?
Although they were ordered to protect Lapu Pasu, there was something wrong with them following Lapu Pasu two thousand miles away without saying a word.
"Oh, by the way, here is the military report that the armed forces are asking me to deliver."
Su Chen glared at the Persian: "In the future, important things must be discussed in advance."
The report was written to Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Wuting, a small ninth-grade team leader who was not qualified to report directly to Su Chen, and Su Chen didn't know the team leader named Wucheng.
Su Chen called Yuchi Baolin over and gave the report to Yuchi Baolin:
"This kid Wu Cheng is looking for death. How dare he act so boldly and without permission!"
Yuchi Baolin became angry as soon as he saw Wu Cheng's report.
"Don't get angry too quickly. How does this Wu Cheng behave on a daily basis?"
Yuchi Baolin said: "His usual performance is pretty good. He is relatively capable among the 60 teams, and he is proficient in writing. That's why I asked him to follow the Persians ashore."
Su Chen glanced at Wu Cheng's report, which explained the reason why he followed Lapu Pasu to Bushehr. He said that Lapu Pasu wanted them to help the Persians capture the Bushehr seaport, and he also thought that this was the case.
You can do it, so...
"The handwriting is good, the language is clear and organized, and you are quite courageous. Do you come from a big family?"
Su Chen asked while looking at Wu Cheng's report.
Yuchi Baolin replied: "It seems to be somewhat related to Ying Guogong's warrior Xun, but he should be a distant relative!"
"Wu Cheng came to the navy relatively late, he seemed to have only arrived in March. There seemed to be other children of the Wu family at that time, but he was the only one who stayed in the end."
Su Chen didn't expect that this guy would be connected with the warrior Tong Nen.
But Su Chen didn't care. Samurai Yu had been dead for several years, and as far as Su Chen knew, Samurai Yu's descendants had no outstanding talents except Wu Meiniang, and there were a lot of bastards and scum.
What Su Chen cares about is that Lapu Pasu is really planning to play something big this time.
I didn't expect that my chief translator would be so courageous.
