Before he could reach the door, Jonos gave up decisively and quickly expressed his agreement to Li Min's request.
However, Jonos also put forward his conditions.
"Honorable King of the Tang Dynasty, if I do this, I will not be tolerated in my motherland, so I need your help."
Li Min nodded and asked, "Tell me, what help do you need from me?"
Jonos couldn't help but said: "First of all, I need you to send a letter to my family so that they can prepare to leave Dashi in advance."
"Second, I need the honorable King of the Tang Dynasty to guarantee that after I finish helping you, you can become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and live the rest of your life in peace."
The conditions proposed by Jonos actually made Li Yingao look at him.
Although this man was greedy for life and afraid of death, and betrayed his country, he was not without merit.
At least he cares very much about his family's life and death.
The first condition he proposed was actually for his family, not for himself.
Li Min couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you. You can write a letter now, and I can also give you a token, and I can send someone to pick them up."
"But don't try to play any tricks. If you dare to play any tricks, I will make you and your family die in an ugly way."
Jonos said sincerely: "Honorable King of the Tang Dynasty, don't worry. I, Jonos, keep my promises and I will never break my promise to others."
After hearing what Jonos said, Li Min smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Didn't you say before your king that you would be loyal to him?
But aren't you still betraying him now?
Jonos asked for paper and pen and started writing a letter to his family.
After Jonos finished writing the letter, Li Min immediately sent soldiers to help him deliver the letter.
Of course, Li Min would not wait until he brought his family back before he started taking action.
But when the letter was sent, action was immediately launched.
Under the leadership of Jonos, 1,500 Tang Dynasty soldiers put on the clothes of Dashi soldiers and came to the second city. They easily opened the city gate and occupied the second city.
The defenders and generals of the second city, under Jonos's persuasion, did not put up much resistance and chose to surrender.
Next is the third city, the fourth, the fifth...
With the help of Jonos, they conquered five cities in one day.
In order to help Datang win as many cities as possible, and to give his family more time to prepare.
Jonos also took the initiative to make suggestions and help Datang block the news.
Because Jonos's understanding of Persia is deeper than theirs.
Therefore, the opinions and suggestions put forward by Jonos were very constructive, and Li Min fully adopted them.
Moreover, Jonos also wrote a letter to their king.
In the letter, Jonos said that he had achieved a major victory, killing more than 10,000 Tang troops and reoccupying five cities of the Tang Dynasty!
After Li Min read the letter and found that there was no problem at all, he asked one of Jonos' confidants to send the letter back.
In fact, Li Min was not too afraid of being informed by Dashi at this time.
Because Li Min only planned to capture Persia, it was over for the time being.
As for using Jonos to directly attack Dashi, Li Min has not thought about this issue for the time being.
The main reason is that Li Min still has too few troops, only 50,000 men.
With these 50,000 people, it is already quite difficult to defend the whole of Persia.
Not to mention, they will continue to invade Dashi.
Moreover, he did not bring many crossbows.
Because of the existence of steam tricycles, the weapons and equipment they carried this time were very abundant.
That's enough to bring 70% of the crossbows they made in the past few years.
But along the way, they used too many crossbows.
The number of soldiers they wiped out was nearly 100,000. If ten crossbow arrows were used to kill one person, that would be one million crossbow arrows.
What's more, in fact, it's more than just this number!
By now, the crossbow arrows have been exhausted, and the current supplies are no longer enough to support them in another large-scale battle.
Therefore, if there is something fishy in Jonos's letter, Li Min will stop it as soon as Dashi reports it.
Even if there were no tricks, Li Min was only prepared to take Persia.
And in the following time, everything was calm.
A few days later, Jonos's family was brought over, and Jonos became more serious and responsible when he started working.
Jonos has a daughter named Anna.
Anna likes Li Min very much and always likes to stick to him no matter what.
And Li Min didn't like Anna very much.
Of course, it's not that Anna isn't beautiful. In fact, the little girl has blond hair and blue eyes that look as bright as gems.
However, there was a language barrier between the two parties. Every time they communicated, Li Min had to use the system to translate.
Not to mention that communication is laborious and costs money every time.
For a little girl who spends money every time she speaks, how could Li Min like her?
Anna seems to be aware of this and is working hard to learn Chinese.
The news of Jonos was passed back, and the Caliph of Egypt was overjoyed after reading it.
After Wei Lid failed, the news came back that shocked Omar.
Although he couldn't believe the news conveyed by Wei Lide, what if it was true?
And now?
As soon as Jonos arrived, he defeated the Tang Dynasty and occupied a large amount of land in the Tang Dynasty.
From this point of view, Wei Lide is simply lying.
Wei Lide is just a waste. How could Datang be so powerful?
Wei Lide, who was under house arrest in his own house, was puzzled after hearing the news.
No, when did Jonos become so powerful?
Or is it that the Tang army has also changed its coach?
Otherwise, how could that loser Jonos have achieved such an impressive record?
There must be something wrong here.
However, Wei Lid did not expect that it was Jonos who was lying.
Jonos is now devoted to the Tang Dynasty and has already betrayed them.
In just over ten days, the Tang Dynasty, with the help of Jonos, had actually occupied the entire Persia.
And Jonos is still not satisfied. He feels that he can continue to shine.
His residual heat has not been exploited to its limit, and he can still lead the Tang army to continue to occupy the city of Dashi.
This is truly a good prisoner who serves his new master wholeheartedly!
Of course, Li Min also understood what Jonos was thinking.
The time he can play his role is limited to these few days.
Once Dashi reacts, he will be useless.
The greater his contribution to the Tang Dynasty, the more stable his status will be in the future.
However, Li Min is not that crazy yet.
Now the 50,000 Tang troops he brought were scattered in various cities in Persia.
In terms of supplies, there is no problem with food and grass, which will naturally be provided by various cities in Persia.
But the ordnance and crossbow arrows are really consumed.
Maintaining the current situation is already a bit reluctant.
If we continue to capture Dashi, everything will collapse.
Therefore, Li Min decisively stopped continuing to attack.
Instead, he concentrated on defense and recruited troops in the major cities of Persia.
Persians hate food very much.
Because it was the cannibals who destroyed their country, killed their compatriots, and defiled their wives and daughters.
And burned their books and destroyed their culture.
Their hatred for Dashi is irreconcilable.
Therefore, as soon as Li Min issued the announcement of conscription, people immediately gathered to ring the bell.
In just one day, thousands of soldiers and horses were mobilized.
Li Min made some calculations and found that it would not be a problem to summon 50,000 troops and horses in the whole of Persia.
Although these soldiers and horses still need to be trained before they can be put into the battlefield.
But if it is just to defend the city, it can be put into use now.
…
I have to say that Jonos is really a dedicated and good surrenderer.
To this day, he is still trying his best to cover up the matter.
However, paper cannot cover the fire after all.
The news inevitably reached Umar, the Caliph of Great Eclipse.
Omar's first reaction when he received the news was disbelief.
Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
How could Jonos, the general whom I rely on so much, do such a thing?
However, a large amount of evidence shows that these are facts.
Umar sent his troops to Persia to confirm.
That's right, the entire Persia has fallen under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
Being able to capture the whole of Persia, they were kept in the dark and unaware of it.
If there was Jonos' help in this, it would be impossible even to kill him.
Omer was so angry with Jonos that he vomited blood.
Then, Jonos invited Wei Lid to the palace.
This time, Jonos rebelled, which was enough to prove that everything Wei Lid said before was correct and true.
It was because he wrongly blamed Wei Lide and trusted Jonos that this resulted in such a bad outcome.
If this were not the case, how could Persia lose so easily?
How could a hundred thousand food army be destroyed without a splash of water?
After Wei Lid arrived, Omar stood up and bowed deeply to Jonos: "General Wei Lid, I have wrongly blamed you."
Wei Lid was startled by Omer's actions, and he quickly knelt down on the ground, and then asked: "Caliph, you must not do this. Can you tell me what happened?"
Jonos was silent for a moment, and then said: "Jonos rebelled and helped the Tang Dynasty seize all of Persia. In fact, if we had not received the news in time, even my home city would have been taken away by him countless times.
"
No matter where you are, this kind of pickpocket is the most hated person.
After hearing the news, Wei Lide was also shocked.
Although he and Jonos were enemies, he never expected that Jonos would be so despicable and be able to do such a thing!
Wei Lid was silent for a moment and then said: "Caliph, the Tang Dynasty will not invade our territory."
Umar asked curiously: "Oh, why do you say that?"
Wei Lide couldn't help but said: "Although the Tang army's attacks are sharp, their shortcomings are that they are too small in number and have no siege equipment. If they are too scattered, we will defeat them one by one."
"So, I conclude that Datang will not invade our Dashi territory. At least not in a short period of time."
"However, when the Tang army arrives, everything will be difficult to predict!"
After listening to Wei Lid's analysis, Omer couldn't help but nodded.
Then, he couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you think we should do now?"
Wei Lide couldn't help but analyze: "Caliph, I think we should hold on and negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty at the same time. We would rather pay some price than become an enemy of the Tang Dynasty."
"Because it is not in our interests to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty. With this time, we can expand all the way outwards, which is much more cost-effective than fighting against the Tang Dynasty."
Omer couldn't help but frown and asked: "Although we don't want to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, what about the Tang Dynasty? Will they think so?"
Wei Lid said calmly: "Caliph, don't worry, this place is too far away from the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It will take at least three months for them to launch a large army. Moreover, the border issue of the Tang Dynasty is not stable."
"So, I don't think Datang is willing to fight a long-lasting war with us. Because it is not in the interests of both of us."
After listening to Wei Lid's words, Omer couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.
…
In Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, just as the officials of the Tang Dynasty were attending court in the morning, the latest news from the Anxi Protectorate came again.
After reading the news, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing loudly, and his face was filled with joy.
Seeing that Li Shimin was so happy, the officials knew that the news coming this time must be good news again without reading the news.
Not only is this good news, it's also great news.
Otherwise, the emperor would not be so happy.
Cheng Yaojin, on the other hand, could not wait to go to Changsun Wuji, and he looked close to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji disliked this idiot very much and couldn't help but push him away.
However, with his small physique, how could he push away Cheng Yaojin?
Soon, Cheng Yaojin finished reading the report, with an ugly expression on his face.
"Wow, yeah, yeah! It's too much to bully others, it's really too much to bully others! I'm so pissed off at Old Cheng! I'm so pissed off at Old Cheng!"
Um?
What is going on?
After the emperor read it, he laughed loudly and was delighted!
But after reading this, idiot Cheng got so angry that he was so angry. What on earth was going on?
Isn't that good news?
However, if the news is not good, how could the emperor be so happy?
Or is it that stupid Cheng Cheng is stupid again?
Not to mention other people, even Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong and others were dumbfounded by Cheng Yaojin's laughter.
Yuchi Gong couldn't help but ask: "You idiot Cheng, what exactly is written in the newspaper? Why are you angry?"
Cheng Yaojin gritted his silver teeth and said: "Yuchi has a black face, please judge him! Do you know what that boy from King Shu did? Do you know?"
"It's not that cool! It's only once, how many times has it been like this?"
"Do you think it would be easy for us to have an opportunity to lead troops to fight? Ah? I'm just asking you, would it be easy?"
"As a result, the King of Shu drove Dashi away again, and killed more than 10,000 infantrymen on the way. Now Dashi has all escaped from the Tang Dynasty. He didn't do this!"
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and other old guys were not happy either.
"That's right, how can you do things like this? If you eat meat, at least you should leave some soup for us!"
"That's too much! You don't do things like this! Next time you say anything, let us go first!"
When he heard these old guys complaining, Li Shimin's face turned frighteningly dark.
Snapped!
Li Shimin slammed the imperial case and said angrily: "You guys, what are you muttering about? King Shu drove Dashi out of the Tang Dynasty. Are you unhappy?"
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and other veterans showed smiles that were uglier than crying.
"Back to the emperor, no, we are very happy! Very happy!"
"Haha! Just be happy! The King of Shu is truly my Kirin son!"
It is not in line with the current interests of Datang to develop with Dashi.
Datang has developed so fast in recent years, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day.
We are waiting to build a railway going west and north to connect the entire Tang Dynasty for transportation.
Datang's national strength and cohesion will rise to another level.
If Dashi dares to come again then, he won't be able to beat the crap out of him.
If you can't get rid of his shit, he'll be considered clean.
But now, Li Shimin still wants to focus on development.
Now the King of Shu has driven Dashi out of the Tang Dynasty, and has also frightened Dashi. I believe that within three to five years, Dashi will not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty again.
Of course, now that the Tang Dynasty has won, even if they want to make peace, Dashi still has to give an explanation.
If Dashi refuses to bow his head, Li Shimin will not hesitate to fight!
However, since Dashi has been driven out of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to send so many troops there for the time being.
First send 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the King of Shu, and then decide based on subsequent developments.
You can choose whether to use these 50,000 troops to stabilize the border, or continue to send more troops to start a war with Dashi.
If only 50,000 troops and horses are sent, the army can be launched now.
Finally, after careful consideration, Li Shimin decided to send Qin Qiong to lead an army of 50,000 to the Anxi Protectorate.
After hearing this appointment, Cheng Yaojin was unhappy.
"Your Majesty, let me, Old Cheng, go! Give me, Old Cheng, 50,000 troops and horses, and I, Old Cheng, will promise to capture the entire feast!"
After hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Li Shimin was even less likely to let Cheng Yaojin go.
This trip was not for fighting.
And Li Shimin was almost certain that if he really sent Cheng Yaojin, this guy would definitely not make peace, but would start a fight directly.
So Li Shimin ignored this guy at all and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.
This made Cheng Yaojin very sad.
…
During this period of time, Li Min continued to recruit troops.
Then the soldiers were discharged to maintain order throughout Persia and appease the people.
Dashi and Tang had completely different management methods for dealing with Persia.
Big food is simple and crude, take everything and take it away.
Under the rule of Dashi, the entire Persian people lived in dire straits.
But now, the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty has come, and the good days of the entire Persian people have also come.
Many Persian people regard the Shu King of the Tang Dynasty as a god in the sky.
A few days later, Li Min recruited more than 10,000 new soldiers from Persia.
These new recruits were scattered and placed among the veterans.
From the old to the new, they were all incorporated into the city-defending army.
At this time, even if Dashi attacked, Datang barely had enough troops.
By this time, Jonos was completely useless.
Jonos has now handed over all his wealth and life to the hands of the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty.
Now Jonos is very afraid that the King of Shu will cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Fortunately, King Shu has no such intention for the time being.
And Jonos's daughter Anna spends more time coming to see Li Min every day.
Because there was no one around Li Min to serve him, Anna directly acted as a maid.
However, in the past, Anna was the daughter of a general and a rich young lady.
But I have never done anything like making the bed and folding the quilt.
But now, when I first start doing this, it’s really not easy to adapt.
But Anna gritted her teeth and persevered.
And Li Min actually understood what Jonos and Anna were thinking.
They were very afraid that they would change their mind, so they planned to use Anna to tie them down.
In fact, Li Min was never prepared to change his mind.
Because of one Jonos, the Tang Dynasty conquered the entire Persia without a single blow.
Jonos deserves a lot of credit.
Li Min planned to throw Jonos directly to Yizhou New City after returning and promise him prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life.
But now, if he doesn't use Anna, it will make Jonos uneasy and suspicious.
Anyway, he doesn't have a maid by his side. Since Anna wants to do it, let her do it.
What I have to say is that this little girl has a very strong learning ability.
Li Min only needs to tell her about many things once or twice, and she will definitely remember them next time.
Her Chinese proficiency is also improving rapidly.
Now it is no longer a problem to have a simple conversation with Li Min in Chinese.
…
A few days later, Li Min did not wait for Dashi's massive attack.
Instead, he was waiting for the messenger of Dashi.
The envoy of Dashi was a peace envoy, asking both sides to cease fighting.
"Your Highness, the most noble King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, the war has brought deep disaster to the people of the two countries. With the war, corpses will be everywhere, and they will lose their brothers and sisters."
"My father is crying in grief, my mother is kneeling tightly on the ground, and the eyes of my brothers and sisters are full of tears! No, we cannot add pain to them!"
After hearing what the messenger said, Li Min asked playfully: "Then, who started the war?"
Hearing Li Min's question, the envoy couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face.
Li Min then said: "If you want to make peace, you must have the sincerity to make peace. Excuse me, where is your sincerity?"
The envoy of Dashi couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, we in Dashi are willing to fight with each other without resorting to swords! May our friendship last forever! We are willing to sign a hundred-year armistice agreement with your country! Within one hundred years
, don’t move your weapons!”
Li Min looked at the food envoy with a half-smile, "Is that all?"
The food envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a guilty conscience: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, what other conditions do you have?"
Li Min kicked the envoy to the ground and scolded: "Go back and tell your king that he attacked the Tang Dynasty. He must show due sincerity! Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will definitely bring a hundred soldiers with him."
