Chapter 43: The Governor of the East (Part 2)
Bukhara (now Bukhara, Uzbekistan), known as Anguo in the Tang Dynasty.
Bukhara was a prosperous and wealthy city on the Silk Road, and its economic value was immeasurable.
More importantly, Buhala is a necessary place to pass through the east and west, and is located on the main road of the eastward expansion of the Arab Empire, and the Arab Empire must pass through here if it wants to fight China, and its strategic position is extremely important.
Therefore, after the Arab Empire advanced eastward, it soon occupied Bukhara.
"Let's go! Walk! Come on! ”
The Arab soldiers drove the people like sheep.
The people helped the elderly, their clothes were ragged, they were covered in wounds, and they were extremely pitiful, but they had no power to resist, only crying, cursing, and resisting powerlessly.
The Arab soldiers, on the other hand, were like wolves, whipping them with leather whips or slashing with scimitars, and if the people were not satisfied, they were either hacked to death or whipped to the point of blood splattering.
"O God, why did you allow these murderous Islamic heretics to set foot on our beautiful homeland?"
"O God, why don't you thunder and kill these infidels!"
The rise of the Arab Empire was unusually bloody, because it was a "holy war", a holy war against those who did not believe in Islam! In the course of its rise, the Arab Empire promoted Islam in an iron and blood manner.
Anyone who does not practice Islam is an infidel and will be exterminated and killed.
The Angolan people have their own beliefs, and how can they convert to Islam, because they can only become sacrifices of "jihad".
Not far ahead, there is an overgrown rocky hill, but from a distance, it is red, which is dyed red with the blood of the Anguo people.
Dozens of miles away, you can smell a strong smell of blood, which makes people sick.
This is the place where the Arab Empire executed infidels, and I don't know how many corpses are piled up, and there are many hills in the distance. Of course, this is not a real hill, but a mountain of corpses formed by the Arab Empire after killing their people.
Wherever the iron hooves of the Arab Empire went, rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled up, and all "infidels" who did not believe in Islam had to die. Allowing the infidels to keep their faith, to redeem it with money, and to give them a way to live, will not be until a later stage.
During this period, the Arab emperors promoted Islam with iron and blood!
On the hill, there stood a group of people, the leader of whom was like an iron tower, tall and mighty, with a pair of bright eyes, looking forward to the majesty, coldly watching the Arab imperial soldiers slaughtering the Angolan people.
This man was Abu Muslim, the current governor of the East in the Arab Empire.
Abu Muslim was originally a Persian, because after the Persian Empire fell to the Arab Empire, the Persians became slaves. Yes, he was a slave of the Arab Empire. However, this man was highly skilled in martial arts, agile in his hands, invincible in courage, and even more rare in his extraordinary ability, and with his extraordinary talents, he grew into the most powerful man in the Arab Empire.
At that time, the most powerful man in the Arab Empire was, of course, the caliphate, followed by the two satraps of the East and the West.
Abu Muslim was a fervent follower of Islam and spared no effort to promote Islam. He was ruthless, and the infidels who died at his hands did not know how many, not a million, and not much.
"Heretics: Allah, the Great, has called you in Heaven!"
The Arab soldiers shouted at the Angolan people who had just been driven away.
"Rumble!"
The earth-shattering sound of hooves rang out, and the Arab army, riding on horses and brandishing scimitars, lined up in neat battle formations, charged against the unarmed people.
Under the light, the scimitar flashed, which was extremely terrifying, and the people of Anguo cried.
"Datang, why don't you come to rescue us?"
"The army of the Tang Dynasty can fight well, and it will definitely fight, the demons of Islam, the Tang Dynasty will not let you go!"
"Datang will definitely avenge us!"
Seeing the Arab army rushing towards them viciously, the Angolan people knew that their end had come, and they couldn't help but think of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would avenge them.
Angola is located in Central Asia and is the focus of contention between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, although the Tang Dynasty army has not yet fought here, but the prestige of the Tang Dynasty has long spread throughout the country.
Compared with the Arab Empire, the Tang Dynasty was benevolent, incomparably benevolent!
As long as they submit to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not embarrass the people, will not force the people to change their beliefs, and will not kill the people because of their beliefs. These Angolan people have no sin, but they don't believe in Islam, but they invite death.
The Arab army charged, the scimitar in his hand slashed down, blood splattered, mutilated limbs and broken arms flew everywhere, and in a short time, all the Angolan people were slaughtered.
Even newborn babies are not immune.
"Chinese?"
A sneer appeared on Abu Muslim's face: "The Chinese are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they take care of you infidels!" I'll kill all you heretics first, and then I'll lead the army into China!" ”
It was the long-cherished wish of the Arab Empire to enter China, and when the generals around him heard this, they were all overjoyed, and they all laughed and said: "With the blessing of Allah, we will turn the whole world into believers of Allah!" It's just China! ”
"China is rich, full of gold, is a golden country, as long as we enter China, we will have endless food, endless silk, endless spices!" Abu Muslim was very pleased with the reaction of the generals and exclaimed: "Beautiful silk and fragrant spices are made in China!" As long as we break into China, all of China will be our slaves! ”
On the Silk Road, silk and spices were the main goods sold from the East to the West, which were indispensable to the lives of Westerners. If China had been conquered and China had been turned into a slave of the Arab Empire, how much silk and spices would the Arab Empire have?
Just thinking about it makes people dizzy, and the eyes of the generals are flashing with blazing light, and they can't wait to hit China immediately.
"As early as a thousand years ago, Alexander wanted to fight to China, but his incompetent teacher Aristotle gave him a wrong map, and the misguided Alexander ended up fighting in the Ganges Valley of India." Abu Muslim's voice turned high and infectious, and he shouted to the generals: "We have already found out the location of the El Dorado! As long as the country is stabilized, we can go on a big crusade to the east! Allah's warriors will surely set foot in China! ”
"Allah!"
"Allah!"
A group of generals waved their arms and shook their fists, and some even drew their scimitars and slashed, roaring loudly.
However, at this moment, a tall, heroic man came quickly, he was Ziyad ibn Sari, who had defeated Gao Xianzhi in Talas, and shouted to Abu Muslim: "Governor of the East, Gao Xianzhi has defeated Xiao Bolu and burned the vine bridge!" ”
"What?" Abu Muslim's eyes lit up like a sharp sword, and he stabbed Ziyad ibn al-Saari.
