After the celebration banquet, the army stayed in Koum City for several days. Regardless of the generals and soldiers, holding a banquet could only relieve their mental stress, but not relieve their physical fatigue. In fact, the banquet increased the physical problems of some soldiers.

Several people even fell to the ground because they had too much alcohol and went out to pee in the middle of the night; and because the weather was cold, the soldiers who had not waited for the inspection found that they had frozen to death.

Most people don’t do this, but there are not many soldiers who have suffered from wounds due to too much alcohol or have gastrointestinal problems. During this period, the injured barracks were full again, and it was almost difficult to find a bed. The team of doctors who invited doctors to see a doctor was very long, and the doctors had almost no rest time.

It was not until the 20th day of the first lunar month that it was five days later than Liu Qi's estimated time, and the army completed the "rest" and left 1,500 Persian soldiers to garrison. The remaining more than 20,000 people set off for Isfahan.

As Liu Qi expected, Bingbo Silin did not defend the city. After the army arrived at the city of Isfahan, Li Gong was about to order the entire army to set up camp. The city gate suddenly opened, and more than a dozen people walked out with white flags to see Li Gong.

Li Gong met them and learned that a few days ago, even before they set off from Koum City, Bersilin had already withdrawn from Isfahan City with his confidants, and now he may have entered Mount Zagros and fled to Huzistan.

They expressed their willingness to surrender to Anxi, accept the rule of Anxi, obey the laws and regulations of Anxi, and were willing to give a lot of money and food to the army free of charge.

Of course, they also have the conditions, that is, they allow their children to go home alive.

After listening to everyone's words, Li Gong first comforted them and told these people that as long as they did not violate their orders, he would not make things difficult for them. The law would not rashly change into the law of Anxi, but would leave buffering time; naturally, the money and food they donated were also accepted with a smile.

However, Li Gong did not agree to the request to let their children go home; on the contrary, he also transferred all the living people to the real Anxi army based on the list provided by these families.

Even if they do not consider keeping hostages and allowing the children of these local families to be in their own army, it will also help them to improve their understanding of Anxi and prepare for reforming the Persian system.

Li Gong planned to establish a Protectorate in Persia, not a vassal state. The Tang Dynasty set up a Protectorate in Anxi. Although it did not fully implement the rules of the Tang Dynasty, it did not fully accept the customs of local agreements, but instead implemented the rules of the two parties. Li Gong also wanted to do this.

"Don't worry, your children who stay in our army will not have any worries about their lives. Instead, they can learn a lot and have high salaries in the Persian Protectorate's Mansion in the future." Li Gong promised these people.

These people did not want their children to continue in the army, but they had no choice. At that time, Bingbo Silin could force them to hand over their children by retreating to Isfahan's army; now the Anxi army is much stronger than Bingbo Silin's troops, how dare they disobey Li Gong's orders?

And what Li Gong said makes sense. 'It seems that the Qin man would not directly govern Persia, but was similar to the cannibals, setting up a governor's district and appointing the governor to govern. In this way, it would be beneficial for the children in the family to contact the Qin man in the Anxi Army.

But who would be the Persian Governor?’

The heads of the families of all generations entered Isfahan City with this last doubt with the army of Anxi.

After entering the city, Liu Qi immediately dispatched various army garrisons, then called Hashem to turn some of his soldiers into Wuhou and bad people, maintain public order in the city, and also hold the city in his hand.

Hashem was excited. On the way to Isfahan City from Koum City, Li Gong looked for him and told him to appoint him as the Protectorate of the Persian Protectorate, and to kill Kuss-Old Sassanthes.

Hashem was half-believing and half-doubted at the time. At the time, the Protectorate in the Persian Protectorate had too much power, and he had not been in the long term for his resignation to Anxi. Such a big pie fell on his head, anyone would doubt it.

Secondly, the conditions offered are also surprising. Didn’t Kussan Sassan cooperate well with Anxi? Why did he suddenly kill him?

The two were united. Although Hashem nodded and agreed, he still looked ecstatic, but he did not believe it all.

But at this time, Liu Qi told him personally that he would turn some of his soldiers into people who maintain public order, which meant that the city would be handed over to him after the army left, and even if he couldn't believe it, he could only believe it. In this situation, he was of course very excited.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant, my subordinates will maintain the public order in the city without any turmoil; they will also complete the errands assigned by His Highness." Hashem said loudly with his waist straight.

"You don't have to speak loudly like this. Your Highness and I believe in you. If you don't believe in you, how could you hand over Persia to you?" Liu Qi said with a smile.

"As for completing the errands assigned by Your Highness, you don't have to do it yourself. Arrange a trusted person who can be fully trusted and just take it off before you walk out of Mount Zagros."

"Yes. My subordinates must arrange very reliable people to do the errands assigned by His Highness." Hashem said again.

"Okay." Liu Qi nodded. Then he gave a few more instructions to the man and asked him to retreat.

"Liu Qi, he will not go back on his word and is unwilling to arrange his subordinates to deal with Kuss Sassan, right?" After Hashem stepped down, Li Gong walked out from behind and asked.

"No, our army has strong combat power. He doesn't need the Khorasans to take revenge against Kuss Sasan. How could he not do it?" Liu Qi said with a smile and asked again: "Your Highness, why don't you give Hashem in person, but instead order your subordinates to convey it on their behalf?"

Just now, he heard the conversation between Liu Qi and Hashem, and deliberately did not meet the person in person, but arranged for Liu Qi to convey it on his behalf.

"Cough, cough!" Li Gong was about to speak, but suddenly coughed a few times, took out the medicine from his body and swallowed it with water before stopping, and continued, "I am lazy and I am not in good health, so I don't want to see him."

"Your Highness, it's better to stay in Isfahan for rest," Liu Qi advised.

"It's nothing, it's not worth caring about." Li Gong said, changing the topic: "In your opinion, when will our army set off from here and continue to pursue Bingbo Silin?"

Seeing that he changed the subject, Liu Qi had no choice but to say, "Since he has led his troops to run far away and cannot catch up, there is no need to chase him anymore. The army has finished resting in Isfahan, and it will not be too late to send troops after sufficient logistics supply preparations.

Moreover, the army is moving a little slower, giving more time to the army in the western part of the Great Shirotland, which may not be a bad thing for us."
