Khazar found that he was overthinking the problem, thinking that having controlled the situation in the city of Cessie, it was a logical thing to take the palace, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate would definitely surrender according to the situation.

But who expected that the slave army led by him encountered fierce and stubborn resistance and blows under the city.

In fact, the slaves had no experience in siege at all, and even if they rushed through the tall palace walls, they could only sigh.

It was Khazar's private soldiers who once went to the battlefield and found logs that could only be hugged by two people to hit the palace gate, but the palace gates of the palace were strengthened, and they would not be damaged at all after two or three hundred hits, but the arrows, stones, and wood on the city kept smashing down, and soon caused a lot of casualties to the rebels.

The morale of the slaves came and went quickly, and after a slight setback, they began to flee.

Qajar ordered his private soldiers to supervise the battle from behind, and killed anyone who retreated.

This did not prevent the slaves from escaping, after all, the private soldiers of Qajar were only a few, only a few hundred, and it was impossible for one to control thousands of slaves without falling.

Seeing that the battle against the palace was in trouble, Qajar decided to change his strategy and attack the back door of the palace instead, and at the same time sent people to the city to continue to collect slaves.

Only by capturing the palace can the next step be carried out, and if even Mansur's shadow cannot be caught, there is no way to quickly win the hearts of the people in the shortest possible time.

Although Qajar had a covetous heart early on, he only did some intelligence work against Mansour, and in the final analysis, it was not to the point of an armed coup, and tonight's situation was the result of his seizing the opportunity to make a quick decision, and choosing to take a risk was also an outbreak after many years of forbearance.

However, Khazar did not regret his decision, he was still very excited, he had been living in the shadow of Mansour, trembling all day long, not knowing that the noose would be around his own neck and that of his people, and he had had enough of it.

Once the first step has been taken, there is nothing to worry about, even if the worst outcome is a big deal, it is a big deal to escape from Ctesiphon with his people, where can't he find a place to stay?

Hajj's head was hung on a high flagpole, and Qajar repeatedly stressed to the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate that he had killed the eunuchs who had relied on the power of the caliph to show off his might, and that the eunuchs did not know gratitude but wanted to kill the caliph and rebel, and now as long as the palace gate was opened, he would be regarded as a meritorious person to defend the caliph.

Haji's head did have a certain influence on the Praetorian Guard, and Haji's status in the royal palace was almost equal to that of one man and ten thousand, and even the ministers had to treat him with respect.

It was such a powerful man who was now beheaded like a dog and hung on a flagpole.

However, the Praetorian Guard is a Praetorian Guard after all, and will not open the gates and surrender without receiving further orders.

No army in the Empire wants to be labeled as surrendering, even in the midst of infighting.

Therefore, although the attitude of the commander who was responsible for guarding the palace gate softened, he was still reluctant to open the palace gate.

Since the low-ranking officers did not know the true whereabouts of the caliph, they began to report upwards and confirm whether the caliph was safe.

Salah, the general in charge of the palace guards, was once a trusted man of the caliph, but he didn't know where the caliph had gone, so he dug three feet into the ground to find someone.

However, Salah has always been the opposite of Prince Mahdi, and al-Mansur used this man to balance Mahdi's power in order to prevent the prince's power from swelling too much and threatening him.

However, the capture of the Mahdi completely upset this balance, and Salah became closer to the Mahdi's former opponents, and even opposed the long-established decision to move the capital.

This was met with serious suspicion from Mansour.

It's just that Salah's position is too conspicuous to be replaced quietly, so he has been waiting for the opportunity.

It is not surprising that al-Mansour quietly left the palace and kept Salah secret.

After not being able to find the caliphate, Salah only felt that his scalp was numb and his whole body was cold, and he did not know how to deal with it.

He quickly pondered what had happened to the caliph, and was it really as Qajar had said? As the king of kings, the caliph was actually being played with by a group of eunuchs?

Soon, Salah rejected this idea, the caliph was not so confused, the eunuchs were still somewhat loyal to the caliph despite their misdeeds, and it was impossible for such a foolish act in this situation.

Then there was only one conclusion, Mansur no longer trusted him, and quietly left the palace without informing him.

If this is true, it means that Salah has been abandoned by Mansour, and there will definitely be no good results in the future.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely choose to cooperate with Qajar, but Salah, after repeated considerations, decided to defend the city dutifully, and would not give up resistance until he received an order from the caliphate.

However, he has no intention of destroying Qajar, and as long as Qajar is unable to breach the palace, it is best for everyone to be safe.

So a strange scene appeared, the Praetorian Guards in the city kept emphasizing that Qajar would come to meet the caliph after dawn, and the intensity of resistance was not as strong as before, and Qajar outside the palace city was desperately trying to enter it, but he was never able to climb the palace wall half a step.

As the light of day dawned, news of the Qajar rebellion was finally delivered to the Praetorian Guard camp outside Ctesiphon.

Mansour was disappointed that he was not angry, but that his brother was not the one he feared the most, but since he was the first to jump out, he had to give a warning to those who were eager to try.

From this moment on, in Mansour's heart, Khazar had become a dead man.

When the first rays of the morning sun pierced through the clouds and fell on the land of Ctesiphon, a large number of Praetorian Guards poured out of the camp and entered the city through the open gates.

The people of Qajar did not control the gates of Ctesiphon at the first time, and Mansour, who personally led the Praetorian Guard, smiled contemptuously.

In Mansour's impression, Khazar was not such a stupid man, and he had won many battles in the war with the Umayyads.

Is it because of the ease of life, and even the brain is not good?

The hastily assembled rabble of slaves was vulnerable to the Imperial Guard, and before they even engaged in battle, they were scurrying around like headless flies.
