When Jiang Wei met Dugu Qianyi, Shahr finally arrived in Persia.

As the sun shone, a convoy of camels crossed the Silk Road through the countries of the Western Regions and arrived at Shahia, the westernmost city of Persia.

As soon as the princess Shahr returned to Persia, she called the lord of the city to inquire about the situation in the country at once. The army of the great cannibal general Khalid drove straight into the Persian plateau for a longer time. The general Khalid, who had been a Meccan who opposed Muhammad, ended up under the banner of the Great Cannibal and was known as the "Sword of Allah" for his military exploits.

After Khalid quickly conquered the valley of the two rivers, Saald bin Abby Vaqas, known as the "Lion", led an army of 30,000 into Persia and fought against the Persian general Rustam on the front line. But the Persian general Rustam intended to stand still and control the mutiny, but the cavalry of the great cannibals had already crossed the Euphrates, and they were in the rear of Persia, constantly attacking the nomads and driving them out of the pastures, so that in the spring and summer, the land was barren, and the great cannibals were fed by robbery, but the Persians became more and more irritable.

Not long after, Persia was defeated one after another, losing Hirah, Polis, Makran, Sindh, Shiraz, and Sistan in succession. By this time, almost two-thirds of the land had been already.

The elite troops of Persia suffered heavy losses in successive years of war

After the defeat at the Battle of Qadisiyah, the Persians were facing a very serious military situation. The power and prestige of the Persian dynasty have been undermined by successive wars over the past 30 years. And the elite army on which it could last rely has been almost completely destroyed, and the country's defense system has almost collapsed.

On the contrary, the morale of the great cannibals traced all the way north to the Tigris, taking in the towns of the two rivers. And last winter, that is, within 2 months of the victory in Cadisia.

In order to achieve the goal of the counteroffensive as soon as possible, Yezdegerd III tried his best to cobble together a large army in Nehavin. 30,000 soldiers were drawn from the area between Babu and Khurwan, 60,000 from Khorasan and Khurwan, and 60,000 from Sistan-Fars to Khurwan. This movement brought the total strength of this army to 150,000 men, and it was commanded by Firuzan, who had fled at the Battle of Qadisia.

Clearly, this is a relatively strong force, although both its true size and the quality of its troops are far from the paper figures described by Al-Tabari. Due to decades of war, human resources in the Iranian region are scarce, and it is impossible to provide more than 40,000 soldiers to replenish it. The improvised patchwork of troops is also far from being comparable to the elite of the Cadishian era in terms of combat effectiveness.

And Firuzan, who was born in the aristocracy, was actually just a second-rate general who was unsatisfactory in the dilemma of withering stars in the last years of the Persian Dynasty. But if the Persians had implemented the right strategy of attrition, the Great Cannibals might not have been able to conquer them easily. Unfortunately, the Persian monarchs could not accept the negative effects of the implementation of the fortified wilderness, and were very anxious to turn the tide through one or two decisive battles. This doomed them to a dismal end in the Battle of Nehavin.

By this time, all of the Sassanid possessions on the west bank of the Tigris River had fallen. At present, the Great Food Army has assembled a large army and besieged Ctesiphon. The Great Cannibal Army completely annihilated Princess Bran's Guard on the outskirts of Ctesiphon.

Persian Ctesiphon was lost, and Yezdegerd III and the nobles fled with the last of their 30,000 troops. And in the face of the pursuit of the big cannibals. A woman from the queen of Persia stepped forward and chose to stand up and break the queen, buying time for Yezdeged III to flee.

With a history of about 620 years, the Persian dynasty controlled the largest land area of about 5.6 million square kilometers and a population of about 19.7 million empires, and since then it has come to an end.

When Princess Shahr came to Nishashaner, she saw her father, who was obviously emaciated, and heard the news that her mother had been killed in battle, and her heart wept with pain. But when they think of the divine punishment brought from Datang, this is already their last hope.

And the first thing Yezdegerd III asked was whether the Tang Dynasty was willing to send troops to help us? But when he got the news that Datang did not send troops, he was sad in his heart.

"Father, we still have hope."

Princess Shahr's eyes were red and she said,

Yezdeged III shook his head with a wry smile, and only sighed at the injustice of the heavens. When he became king, his first policy was to quell infighting. But when he finally quelled the Persian infighting and made the nobles compromise in various places, the Sassanid Empire ushered in stability, and it was he who developed his fists and feet to discover Persia and make Persia strong again. But he didn't expect the big cannibal to take advantage of the situation at this time, so that Persia, which had not yet recovered, fell into a desperate situation.

If he had been given another ten years, Yezdegerd III would have believed that he would never have suffered such a crushing defeat as he did now. It's all those damned local nobles who made Persia weak and allowed those natives of the desert to succeed.

"Father, my daughter has received the help of the gods of the East."

Shahr tried to persuade them, but the nobles and kings had apparently lost faith in the Zoroastrian gods, let alone the ones from the east.

"This messenger from the Eastern God, after communicating with the Eastern God, gave us divine punishment."

When Princess Shahr said the word divine punishment, the nobles below and King Yezdeged III were shocked, and the first thing that came to their minds was the myth from the Roman Empire, Pandora's box.

"Your Highness Princess, this is not the time to joke."

An old nobleman stepped forward, dressed in luxurious silk, and said with a serious face.

"Your Highness Princess, we understand your feelings. But where does this world come from? Have you been deceived by that abominable heretic? ”

When many noble gods heard this, they were sad. How ironic is it that now Persia has reached such a point that their princess was deceived by a clown?

At this time, the Persian prince Belus stood up for his sister.

"Father, ministers, this is no longer the time to say this. We are under attack by the Great Eclipse. There is no way for the ministers, so why don't they want to listen to Her Royal Highness Princess Shahr? ”

Yezdeged III thought for a moment, glanced at the daughter, and then nodded.

"Shahr, tell me what happened."

"Yes, Father."

Shahr bowed and glanced gratefully at his brother Belus. Then she told the things about Datang and Jiang Wei one by one. These include the content of the fairy-art exhibition, as well as the commercial plaza plan.

Why does it rain? Summer can make water freeze, and what is carbon dioxide? And water can actually light a fire, are you sure you're not kidding? My Royal Highness?

When the ministers heard these things, they were all dumbfounded for a while. They all said that they couldn't understand or understand.
