Chapter 1173: The Rebellion of Pakhana

The kingdom of Bakhana has rebelled!

After seeing this news, Abbas's first reaction was not anger and fear, but with a disdainful smile on his face, Asiranda Khan of Bahhana was a useless bad old man, if it weren't for the fact that Caliph al-Mansur had just succeeded to the throne and ruled unstable, he would have exterminated all the steppe barbarians in the middle of the river.

Asiranda's rebellion just gave Da Shi a reasonable excuse, Khorasan only needed to send 5,000 elite horsemen to kill the inadequate, and bring his head to Mulu City to show the tribes that this was the fate of the rebels.

Abbas's body was weak, and of course he would not personally raise troops to destroy Pakhana, but Yusuf was not the only one of his fierce generals, and the name Iprahim soon appeared on his dispatch list.

Iprahim was a dynastic nobleman younger than Yusuf and Abbas's most important nephew. His sons are not angry, and can only be people who enjoy wealth, so they can only put all the expectations of the family on their nephews.

"Iprasin, it is an opportunity to kill the people of Chobal Khan, if you can successfully bring back the head of Asiranda Khan, my uncle can promise that you will replace Yusuf as the commander of the Eastern Expedition in the coming year!"

Iprasin's eyes flashed with excitement, he had been waiting for this opportunity to see through, Yusuf had conquered a large area of land in the East, and the nobles of any dynasty were envious, and he was no exception.

Abbas then admonished:

"The kingdom of Bakhana has always been close to the Tang Dynasty, and if it were not for the defeat of the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Talas, they would not have been able to pay taxes to the dynasty. It is said that the queen of Bakhana is still a princess from the Tang Dynasty, and they must have smelled something if they dared to rebel at this time, and after you went, you can't despise the cunning jackal of Asiranda, understand......"

Abbas took the trouble to tell him all kinds of precautions, just like his own son.

Iprasin nodded solemnly, knowing that only by making his uncle happy could he become the successor of the governor of Khorasan.

After all, Abbas's health is already very bad, and maybe one day at dawn, he will never see the sun again.

Therefore, Iprahim must do everything possible to seize more military power and lead the army into battle, which is not only a shortcut to military power, but also the best means to establish merit and prestige.

……

On the north shore of the medicine and water, the capital of Bahana was thirsty, and Asiranda Khan gathered all his tribes, and he had made up his mind to break with the Great Cannibal once and for all.

"Warriors of Bakhana, start today, kill any great cannibals you see!"

Asiranda Khan's cries were answered with a deafening deafening, and every man who could bend his bow and shoot arrows was resentful of the Great Eat.

In the past, as vassals of the Tang Dynasty, they could not only be protected by the border troops of the Tang Dynasty, but also receive rich rewards from the envoys of the Tang Dynasty every year. But since the Battle of Talas, it was difficult for the Tang Dynasty's soldiers to cross the green mountains, and they had no choice but to submit to the big cannibals. From then on, Bathhana not only frequently sent young men to follow the so-called coalition forces to the east and west, but also donated a large number of cattle and horses to the governor of Khorasan every year.

The big cannibals also called this kind of blatant robbery and extortion in the name of "paying taxes".

In addition, in recent years, the snow and drought have continued, and the tribe's cattle and horses have been sharply reduced, and there are even tragedies of newborn children being starved to death in many tents. In such a comparison, Bahan will miss the days of being a vassal to the Tang Dynasty even more.

However, nostalgia alone was not enough for Asiranda Khan to make the decision to venture into rebellion against the Great Cannibals. What really made Asiranda Khan make this decision was a Tang army from the north.

Zheng Xianli's hand clenched the hilt of the horizontal knife tied to his waist, and the scorching sun made the roasted mutton on the ground hot, convincing Asiranda Khan that he had put a lot of effort into it, but fortunately the news of the Prime Minister's personal expedition came from Hexi, and repelled the coalition army led by Yusuf at Zhangye.

Yusuf is an arrogant and capable big food aristocrat, although Zheng Xianli has never seen it, but judging from the appearance of Asiranda Khan's palpitations, this person must have caused him a lot of psychological shadows.

If it weren't for the genuine five thousand elite horsemen under his command, this old fox would not have said anything to the Tang Dynasty.

However, judging from the attitude of Bahan's people, it is clear that they are inclined to the Tang Dynasty and hate the Great Food. This kind of dispensable thing should be the people's hearts that the ministers talk about all day long.

Zheng Xianli is a rough man, he doesn't understand the twists and turns of the literati, but he knows human nature very well, even if it rises between the two countries, it is all because of profit and harmony, because of profit.

Isn't that exactly what is happening in the current Bakanna?

Zheng Xianli was conspired by the Tuqi Shi people in the last year, and the Grolu people who traveled a long distance to entrench themselves in the grasslands north of Yaozhishui were cut off by the alliance of these grassland tribes in the Western Regions.

Until Yusuf led a 100,000-strong coalition army to the east, Zheng Xianli decided to lie dormant in the northern part of Hezhong after weighing the pros and cons. And now, it's time to stand up and add to the big cannibalism.

The valley along the medicine and water was flourishing, and there were not only the Bahannes, but also a large number of Sogdians. Back then, Gao Xianzhi destroyed the capital of the Shi Kingdom, Tuozhi City, which was two hundred miles west of the thirsty city.

Soon, Asiranda Khan's mobilization of his subordinates came to an end, and the Khan Khan, who had entered the prime of life, turned his head and smiled at Zheng Xianli and said:

"The warriors of Bahanna are ready to welcome the Prime Minister!"

Zheng Xianli said indifferently:

"Before we greet the prime minister, I'm afraid we have to welcome some uninvited guests first!"

Asiranda Khan smiled knowingly.

The uninvited guest naturally refers to the Great Food Raider from Khorasan. However, most of the elite of Khorasan have been taken away by Yusuf, and how many more goods can the old governor who stayed in Mulu City to recuperate?

At the same time, nearly tens of thousands of troops from various surrounding tribes had gathered under the city of Zhangye, including the Uighurs, Turks, Qiang, and many remnants of the Western Regions in Hexi.

The Tang Dynasty Prime Minister's banner is like a magnet with boundless magnetism, attracting people to come to Zhangye in a steady stream.

Qin Jin stood at the head of Zhangye's city, looking at the towering heads of the people under the city, he had no doubt about the victory in his heart, he knew that the time had come to send troops to continue to advance westward.

Now, Qin Jin remembered Zheng Xianli, who had not heard from him, and he believed that Zheng Xianli would not be defeated and die so quietly, if this person could echo him from afar in the Western Regions......
