"The villain Hashem, pay homage to the king and pay homage to the lieutenant." A man with a Western appearance walked into the house and bowed to Li Gong and Liu Qi, who was sitting next to Li Gong.

"No need to be polite." Hashem was not proficient in the language of the Tang Dynasty. Although this sentence was spoken in the language of the Tang Dynasty, Li Gong did not understand it immediately. After thinking about it, he realized that he was talking and gave instructions.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hashem said again stiffly, standing upright. But based on the little knowledge about Anxi he learned in the past, he did not look at Li Gong or Liu Qi's face.

"Hashim, you can return to your future lost. Lead your soldiers to surrender to our army. I admire you very much and decided to reward you." Then, Li Gong shouted loudly: "Come!"

Outside the house, he agreed softly, and then the two guards walked in and stood on the left and right Hashem. They each held a tray, and the man on the left had several gold bars in the tray, and the man on the right had various or colorless gems such as red and blue.

"The things in these two trays are rewarded for you. The tray on the right was originally prepared with jade, but I heard that you don't like jade, so I changed it to gems." Li Gong explained again.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hashem showed joy on his face and bowed repeatedly.

"No need to be polite." Li Gong said again and ordered a guard: "Get a chair for the Hashemma commander."

"Thank you again, Your Highness." Hashem said for the third time when he sat down on his butt.

"Don't thank you," Li Gong said with a smile: "I just learned that there are more than 500 soldiers who will surrender with you, and I can be organized into two regiments in Anxi.

Since you are a leader of a thousand men, you will not treat you badly. You will appoint you as a different general. Not only will the two adapted regiments be under your command, but the army formed by other surrendered soldiers will also be handed over to you in the future.

But there is also a problem. Do you want to stay in Khorasan or return to Anxi with Gu? Gu will make it clear to you that Khorasan will be given jurisdiction to the Sassan family, and it is an vassal of the orphans, not a direct land. You have also been in contact with our army for several years, so you should know the difference between my vassal of Anxi and a direct land."

"Your Highness wants to give up Khorasan? Why do you do this?" Hashem asked back when he heard Li Gong's words.

"Because we want to stop fighting with the Great Food Kingdom. Khurasan is far away from Anxi, so it is impossible to leave the army stationed here for a long time; but he is worried that the Great Food Kingdom will launch a counterattack and try to retake Khurasan. So he handed over Khurasan to the Sassan family, and they will block the Great Food Kingdom for Anxi."

Because Hashem's language was not good at speaking, this sentence was spoken in Persian dialect. Li Gong answered after hearing the translation.

"Your Highness, the villain believes that this should not be done. Although the land of Khorasan is barren, it is an important place connecting the East and the West. It cannot be completely handed over to the Sassanian family. At least it must be turned into a semi-direct authority rather than a complete vassal.

As for worrying about Gybo Silin launching a counterattack, he should send troops to continue attacking Gybo Silin's land, and immediately send troops to further damage him, making him unable to launch an attack for at least twenty years!"

"This," Li Gong was caught off guard by his words. He could not use anything he had prepared. He could only say: "The land of Khurasan is barren. Without the support of other places, it would not be able to support the army's garrison for a long time, or use this place as the starting point to launch an attack.

Moreover, the continued advance from Khorasan to pass through northeastern Persia. I heard that the terrain in northeastern Persia is complicated. If people are not very familiar with the local terrain, they will easily lose their direction or even fall into the trap of the Great Food Army. If you want to send troops, you need to consider it carefully."

"Your Highness's idea, the villain thinks it's too conservative!" Hashem immediately said: "If the villain's guess is correct, your highness should have been prepared for a long-term battle when attacking Khorasan, and the army has at least enough supplies to consume for six months.

It has only been less than two months since the war started, and there are still four months of supplies to use. In addition, the seized supply of the Dashi Army can last at least half a year.

With the strong combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army, half a year was enough to defeat Jebo Silin again and severely damage his army.

As for the complex terrain in northeastern Persia, this is indeed a problem. But it just so happens that the villain comes from northeastern Persia, and most of the soldiers under the villain are born in this land. We can serve as guides to guide the army on the right path."

"What you said makes sense, but sending troops to fight is a very important matter after all, and it needs to be discussed again." Li Gong said reluctantly.

According to the plan he made, he would chat with him after rewarding Hashem, slowly test whether he really surrendered and whether he could trust him, and then decide whether to use them as a guide to attack the northeastern Persia.

But now Hashem has taken the initiative to be a guide, and Li Gong cannot trust the person in front of him for a while, but he can't say anything tentatively, so he can only make excuses like this.

"Your Highness, the villain believes that if you want to send troops, you must send troops as soon as possible and cannot be postponed." Hashem said again: "The mountainous areas in northeastern Persia can barely be considered part of Khorasan, but Isfahan and other places are completely outside Khorasan, and Bosilin's influence in those places is not particularly strong, and it takes time to stabilize his rule.

The attack must be launched before he firmly ruled, otherwise the losses will definitely increase, I think this is what Your Highness does not want to see.

To be honest, the villain urged his highness to send troops and had his own selfish intentions. Most of the villain and his soldiers came from northeastern Persia. He hoped that his hometown would be ruled by the same country as him, and that he could return to his hometown to live after he retired in the future."

"What you said makes sense, but this is of great importance after all, and you cannot make a decision easily." Li Gong said reluctantly again. He could not keep up with Hashem at all, and could only use this kind of words to make excuses again.

As he said that, he looked at Liu Qi unconsciously, as if he was counting on Liu Qi to give him advice and avoid such an embarrassing situation.

Seeing his gaze coming, Liu Qi also showed a look of embarrassment on his face. But soon, the embarrassing expression disappeared, and Liu Qi attached himself to his ear and whispered.
