Chapter 1 Meet Yang Xuanyan again
The news of the Arab withdrawal of troops, Pei Min got the news that night.
The Persians rebelled, and it was naturally Pei Min's hands and feet.
Arabia perpetuates the habit of Western conquest.
Whenever an army is sent, it is not to use violence, force, or other means to force the enemy to accept and obey.
This brutal method seems to be the most effective, but it also hides deep consequences.
In addition to the four ancient civilizations of Egypt, Babylon, China and India, the ancient Persian civilization is the civilization that talks about the origin of independence.
More than 500 years BC, the Persians had conquered the countries of West Asia, Central and Near East in one fell swoop, and established a great empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa.
After that, it went through the Achaemenids, Seleucid Empire, Sabbath, Sassanid Persia and other dynasties, which remained for nearly a thousand years before finally being destroyed by Arabia.
As a thousand-year-old country, the Persians are still very rich, with their own culture and beliefs.
The Persians believe in Zoroastrianism, also known as Zoroastrianism.
When the Arabs conquered Persia, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, they showed tolerance for Zoroastrians and allowed them to maintain their faith after paying taxes according to the law.
But the Arabs are a country founded on faith power, and faith is part of their politics.
He soon changed his mind and forced the Zoroastrians to convert, calling the remaining Persians pagans.
It is very difficult to extinguish the cultural beliefs of a country, even if it is as strong as Qin Shi Huang, it will not be able to win the hearts of the six people, let alone Arabia?
With the instigation and support of Pei Min and Byzantium, the Persian nobles secretly plotted a rebellion, and when the time was ripe, they rose up.
Pei Min secretly let Sun Zhou reveal the Persians' schemes, causing the Persians to revolt in advance, so as to force Mosley Massa to withdraw his troops.
Originally, Arabia had the intention of retreating, but now that there is turmoil in the country, there is no reason not to retreat.
Of course, Pei Min would not pursue, leaving Feng Changqing to dredge the blocked river of the Kabul River, ordering him to collect and bury the corpses of the Tang army in the river as much as possible, and lead the soldiers of Helong back to the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
In the Governor's Mansion, Pei Min once again met with the kings of the Western Regions.
Pei Min's great achievements in the Western Regions have subdued all the kings, and his power is even deeper than that of Gao Xianzhi in history.
And crucially, Gao Xianzhi had military talent, but he didn't know anything about politics, and did whatever he wanted in the Western Regions, which led to a great reduction in the centripetal force of the Tang Dynasty.
And Pei Min is both powerful in the Western Regions, and his means are more clever than Gao Xianzhi, and everyone in the Western Regions is convinced.
Even small countries that were originally bought by the Arab side have chosen the general trend and changed their flags.
In the face of Pei Min, the uncrowned king of the Western Regions, the kings of the Western Regions did not bow to him, hoping that Pei Min could continue to serve as the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
In this regard, Pei Min smiled and said: "You don't need to be like this, even if a certain person steps down from this position, the Western Regions will still be governed by Yan Changshi, and the envoy of the feudal degree will be in charge of military affairs." Needless to say, their virtuous abilities are self-explanatory. It can stabilize the situation in the Western Regions, and it is impossible for Arabia to retreat after defeat today, and then to come back in the short term. You can rest assured, and ......"
He said and glanced at each other left and right, and said in a deep voice: "You need to remember one thing, as long as you surrender to my Tang Dynasty, my majesty will definitely protect you." ”
With Pei Min's words, the kings of all countries are also Da'an in their hearts.
What Pei Min said in person was much more convincing in the eyes of these people than false words.
Pei Min was anxious about Chang'an's affairs, and he didn't stay in the Dadu Protectorate for a long time, and after explaining to Yan Gaoqing, he immediately set off for Guzang.
Before crossing the 2,000-mile desert, Pei Min made a special detour to Gaochangcang.
In the two years since Pei Min confronted Arabia, Gao Changcang was already in the final stage.
The scale of Gaochang Cang is the same as Pei Min expected, and it is a large grain depot comparable to Luokou Cang.
Old friend Yuan Luqian strode out of Gaochang Cang to greet him.
The two hugged each other affectionately.
"Good work!"
Pei Min saw that Yuan Luqian was a little thinner than before, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Yuan Luqian is the kind of upright person who can't rub sand in his eyes, which means that he doesn't know how to be flexible.
Everything is conscientious and meticulous, such as the huge project of Gaochangcang, which involves the smallest details of how heavy.
Yuan Luqian is in charge of such a huge project, and with his character, he supervises every link diligently.
All kinds of bitterness, needless to say.
Yuan Luqian said with a smile: "Fighting on the front line with Brother Jingyuan, what is this tiredness?" Come, I'll show you the new look of Gaochang Cang......"
Yuan Luqian pulled Pei Min and walked to the depths of Gaochang Cang.
"Fifteen miles around this Gaochang Cangcang City, there are two thousand cellars, each cellar can store eight thousand quintals of grain, the surrounding defense facilities have been completed, and only a thousand people are needed to defend the granary in ordinary times, which can ensure everything. In extraordinary wartime, it can also accommodate more than 10,000 elite soldiers, even if it is attacked by ten times the enemy, it can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements. ”
The Gaochang warehouse has not yet been officially completed, and there are still many workers coming and going.
They didn't know Pei Min's identity, and they all greeted Yuan Luqian warmly in the past.
Looking at the Gaochang Cang that was about to be completed, Pei Min was satisfied, and said, "In a few days, you can contact Brother Xin and transport all the grain we have hoarded in the Western Regions to this Gaochang Cang, store it, and keep what you need in wartime." After the completion of Gaochang Cang, I will give you a long vacation, have a good rest, and give birth to a nephew and niece. ”
Yuan Luqian smiled, very moved.
Their relationship is like steel, and this kiss is like a kiss, which is no better thing.
Pei Min was about to speak, when suddenly a person walked closer and saluted the two of them: "I have seen the envoy of Guogong and Yuan......"
Pei Min was stunned at first, and then remembered the identity of the person who came, and said with a smile: "Yang Gong, how are you doing here?" ”
The person who came was Yang Yuhuan's father, Yang Xuanyan.
Pei Min exiled Yang Xuanyan to Gaochangcang and asked him to make meritorious service for his crimes.
It's been more than two years, and if he behaves well, Pei Min has the intention of letting him go back, and arranging a position for him, in short, he will stay in Liangzhou.
Yang Xuanyan bowed and said: "Xie Guogong is worried, and his life here is quite fulfilling." ”
When Pei Min was opposite, he was still a little blushing.
Because of Pei Yang's influence, he always thought that Pei Min had ulterior motives for his little daughter, and he accepted his fate in his heart.
It wasn't until later that Pei Min cared about them, but he didn't have the slightest ill intentions. On the contrary, it is his daughter, at a young age, she is unusually precocious, like a nymphomaniac, she worships the Tang Dynasty hero in front of her very much, and she has the feeling of marrying Pei Jingyuan.
Yang Xuanyan even felt that as long as Pei Min was willing, his daughter would like to be sent to the door!
