Just when Li Que and his party were having a headache with the chaos in Arabia, Khorasan, a huge army had quietly arrived here. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

In two months, along the silk road of Fujian across Tianzhu, while marching, while carrying out military reform, now, as the main force of the left and right guards and left and right guards have completed the mixed task of the army, initially adapted to the cooperation of the arms.

During this time, Li Jie also inspected Punjab by the way.

Punjab, which is roughly the future Palestine, is crossed by five rivers, including the Indus River, and the rich rivers have created fertile alluvial plains, where the world's first city, Mohenjo-Daro, was born, but its abundance also brought disaster.

First the Aryans, then the Persians. The Greeks led by Alexander the Great were expelled from the steppes of northern China by the Xiongnu, and the Dayue clan migrated here, and the iron cavalry of the Sassanid Empire once left a strong mark here. Ethnic mixture here, various ethnic groups and various cultures blend here, before the arrival of Fujian, disputes between various cultures, war is also the norm here.

Fortunately, what Chinese civilization is best at is blending, culturally, after the Southern Covenant, the children of the national nobility of each Punjab state were brought to Qunu City and brought to the Jingshi of later generations to study, and the Confucian culture with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, loyalty, filial piety, courage and Gonglian as the core gradually absorbed these marginal tribes with varying degrees of education.

In terms of force, after the treaty of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the armies of the countries were gradually mastered by the Min State, and during the rebellion of the Qunu City, in order to deter the Punjab, Li Jie opened a killing ring, and successively razed fifteen cities, more than 500,000 people were either killed in a pit, or sold as slaves, and some city-state civilizations against the Min State almost suffered a catastrophe, and the remaining small city-states were more deferential to the Min State in trembling.

With the flight of millions of Persians to the west into Punjab, the Min State and the mud migrated more than a million Indian princes, under the impact of more cultures, Punjab at this time has been completely different from the past, various ethnic groups are popular Tang language, according to the Tang Dynasty counties divided into administrative units, the Tang law, and according to the land distribution system, two tax laws to pay taxes.

In particular, the policy of exempting the agricultural tax after joining the Fujian* team or taking the Tang nationality examination has made both the indigenous people and immigrants of Punjabi cheer, and yesterday the kingdoms of Punjabi have become a thing of the past.

This trip, Li Jie personally led the army to pass by, and dealt with some of the shortcomings left behind, met with the local assassins, appeased some of the Tang families and Persian families who migrated over, and finally migrated the last group of Punjabi royal families to Beijing in the name of giving the house, such a large piece of fertile and rich land has completely belonged to the Fujian State.

However, after leaving the Xinhangu Pass in the western Himalayan mountain pass, it is a different scenery.

The people's livelihood is withering and the four wilds are in disarray, which is a true portrayal here.

According to the geography of later generations, this belongs to the western tip of Pakistan a small half of the country, connected to Khorasan including Iran, Afghanistan all the territory, from the Arab Empire conquered the Persian Empire, here began to fall into a chaos, the dilapidated era, the Persian nobles who were unwilling to convert to Islam and the big aristocratic states who converted to Islam were at war, and then the Arabs opened the border, and millions of nobles and refugees who did not want to belong to the Arab Empire fled into the territory of Fujian, which caused the ruin here.

When Hou Jiexi traveled west to Constantinople, passing through the hinterland of Khorasan, the Iranian plateau with a tropical desert climate, there were no people for hundreds of miles, and this kind of ruin can be seen.

Rare three years ago, the Fujian State began its westward expedition to the Arab Empire, and completely defeated the main force of the Arab Khorasan Governor's Palace in the north of the Persian Gulf, and immediately settled in Khorasan, and supported the last monarch of the Persian Empire, Isai III, to establish the Kingdom of Khorasan.

Only then did the withered Khorasan regain the glory of the ancient civilization, and the nobles also took advantage of the opportunity of the Fujian conquest of Mesopotamia to make a small fortune.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, two years ago the defeat of Fujian, the Western Arab cavalry began to invade Khorasan again, and at the same time, the northern city of Jiling City Governor Belus rebelled again, Khorasan was divided into Afghanistan and Iran left and right The land is quite attacking each other, so that Khorasan, who is barely able to catch his breath, is once again on the verge of collapse.

In addition, after returning to China, Li Jie was busy managing domestic government affairs, repairing rivers, and playing with Chang'an diplomatically, ignoring here, and almost completely destroyed the local civilization in two years.

The local bandits were rampant, and when they came out of Xinhan Valley, Li Jie's army had to take the lead in setting up camps to protect the back road as if they had entered the enemy country, and the cities they experienced along the way were withered, and the city walls were tragically left traces of the war, and the villages were reduced to ruins, and even the corpses of many villages after being slaughtered were still left in place, which looked terrifying.

Starting from the Xinhan Valley, while suppressing bandits along the way to sharpen the army, while pacifying the local cities, sending officers to manage the city, it took almost a month, and then they turned over the Iranian plateau and arrived at Mulu City, the northernmost border town of Khorasan, a major defensive area.

The city walls had obviously experienced the war, and many places still had the damage and blackened flames after the war, and it was more than seven months, and the fields near the city were barren like weeds, and there were no wheat seedlings, and the local tribes of Khorasan were also hungry, and the gangsters were stiff like hungry ghosts.

In this scene, the left servant of Fengge who watched the accompanying Feng Pavilion shot Wang Xuance, the Luantai waiter Di Renjie, Lai Ji and others all looked gloomy, but Li Jie talked and laughed and entered.

At the gate of Mulu City, which is piled with loess, there was already a large group of Khorasan magnates and Fujian officials waiting there, and as soon as they saw the neat cavalry ranks in the distance and the distinctive Xuan-colored Fujian flags, they immediately greeted them.

"Long live the King of Min!"

"Meet the supreme Shahansha!"

Although they are all used in the Tang language, the two titles are completely different, the Persians and the Tang people bowed down under Li Jie's horse in their own way, looking at the figure of a group of powerful people, Li Jie hurriedly jumped off the horse, greeted him, and supported the general with both hands.

"Taibao, General Xi, please get up, and His Royal Highness Yi Si Ai, you should also get up!"

"Your Highness."

Only then did Xi Junmai shake his armor and stood up, and the Khorasan king Ichiai, who was thin and sad on the side, like an old peasant on the northwest plateau, also stood up tremblingly.

"Your Highness is coming from afar, and the last general has already arranged a banquet in the Mulu Palace, and invited His Highness to enter the palace to rest!"

"Your Majesty Shahansha, Xiao Wang has also prepared a little heart, please invite Your Majesty to enter the palace." After breathing a sigh of relief, Xi Junmai and Yi Si Ai bowed down with respectful sleeves and arched fists, of course Li Jie would not sweep his face, and nodded heartily: "According to the meaning of the two Qing families!"

Along the way, a number of camps were built, and about 40,000 local government soldiers had been divided to protect the baggage, and the remaining 130,000 troops did not enter the city, but were divided into camps under the slopes north and south of Mulu City under the leadership of the generals of various departments, and the regiments protected the city in it, and only the forbidden army and Zuo Wuwei entered the city.

Don't look at the withering city, the Persian palace in Mulu City is quite well preserved, and even the garden is still taken care of, and the marble palace pavilions are cleaned clean, and it was chased by the Arabs at the beginning.

However, at this time, the gorgeous palace still changed owners, and the forbidden army of Fujian drove away the former Persian court guards, and was rigorously armed, surrounded by layers of clusters, and Li Jie strolled into the golden hall of the palace.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that the lord of Khorasan has something to ask for Your Highness!" Before taking his seat, Xi Junmai, who had been accompanying Li Jie, suddenly whispered a reminder in Li Jie's ear, and looked back at the sad Yi Si Ai, Li Jie couldn't help but nod secretly, and sat on the throne quietly.
