With Abdullah's strength, it was enough to defeat the remnants of the Umayyad and take Spain without any problem. If in Spain it was not the Umayyad remnant, but Abdullah's Syrian legion...... It's hard to say whether Pepin the Short and his son, King of Hearts, Charlemagne, can withstand it.

It is now the second year of the Tang Dynasty, 757 AD, and Piping's dedication should have taken place last year, and the future Charlemagne is now just a weak-crowned boy.

If Abdullah is allowed to seize the territory of the Rahman, the self-proclaimed caliph, the descendants of the Umayyads, then when Abdullah crosses the Strait of Gibraltar with tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Syrian army into Spain, it is impossible not to expand eastward, and Pepin the Short may not be able to resist it, in that case, the history of Europe will enter a new historical track.

Preventing the Great Eclipse from entering Europe was the already extremely small Eastern Roman Empire, the so-called Byzantium, and the Umayyad dynasty suffered nightmarish defeats at the Golden Horn twice. And if Abdullah had entered Spain with a large army and expanded eastward across the Pyrenees, it would have been difficult for Western Europeans to resist the Muslim attack without the Eastern Roman Empire.

Of course, these are all possible scenarios, and with Abdullah's death here, these possibilities no longer exist.

Killing Abdullah naturally did not mean that it was to keep Pepin the Short and Charlemagne, in fact, gloomy Europe was also the target of the expansion of the army. The root cause of killing Abdullah was the blood that flowed in his body, and that was his caliph status.

However, Abdullah's death is bound to cause a series of reactions.

In fact, since Mansour's death in Kufa, the historical trajectory of the Great Food has been completely changed, and Rahman, a descendant of the Umayyad family who was supposed to flee from Tunisia to Spain, did not cross the sea to Spain after claiming to be the caliph, but led troops to the province of Egypt. Come and fight the original governor of Syria. The two sides have been fighting in the province of Egypt for several years, and Abdullah is one against two, and there is no difference between victory and defeat on this side. Now that Abdullah is dead, the pressure on young Rahman will be relieved.

In the original history, Rahman fled to Spain to establish the post-Umayyad dynasty, but he was forced to do so. What he wanted to do now was, of course, to restore the glory of the Umayyad dynasty.

The juxtaposition of the three caliphs was over, and the young Rahman was the last caliph in the land of the Great Eclipse. He was supported by the Berbers who had converted to Huda, and Tunisia and Spain were his possessions, and now he occupied half of Egypt. For Ma Lan, the young caliph was his next target.

Rahman probably didn't know what was happening in faraway Isfahan, but it was undoubtedly extremely unfortunate to be targeted by the Ansi army. In fact, when Ma Lan's eyes set his eyes on distant Egypt, the young man's fate was already sealed.

Ma Lan has the greatest malice towards Hu Da Wenming. Since the expedition from Egypt to Tunisia and even across the Channel was still the territory of the Great Cannibals, the expedition was far from over. The significance of completely smashing the Hu civilization is far greater than occupying the land of the Great Food Empire.

Abdullah himself sent it to the door, so that there would be one less caliph. The matter of getting rid of the last caliph has been put on the agenda by Ma Luan in his heart.

It took a lot of time to clean up the battlefield and dispose of the corpses. The bones of 20,000 Syrian legionnaires are buried here. The grass here is sure to be even more lush.

Bandar Abbas and al-Mansur's uncle, Caliph Abdullah. The body was also thrown into a mass grave, indistinguishable from other Syrian legion fighters.

This time there were not many trophies, and the horses of the Syrian legionnaires were also good horses, most of them were shot dead, and the Anxi army finally got less than 5,000 horses, and more than half of them were not lightly wounded. It's no longer available for riding.

All the horses were tied to their mounts by the warriors and prepared to be brought back to Isfahan with them. Wounded horses can also be used as food, and the remaining half is used as a backup mount.

The army left the valley and marched mightily towards Isfahan. The army was followed by a large number of Persian Dehgans who came to observe. The shocked look on these guys' faces. Ma Lan saw it clearly, and his heart was extremely satisfied.

The Dehgans are accustomed to riding the wall, but this battle will leave a deep impression on them, and they will naturally desperately show their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty for the sake of their family, so when they return to their territory, those Alabians and Yemenis and the unrepentant Mawari will be in bad luck.

Of course, in order to complete these things as soon as possible and make up for their lack of manpower, they will still send troops back with them, which can improve the efficiency of killing people on the one hand, and play a supervisory role on the other hand.

After returning to Isfahan, there was no large-scale celebration on the part of the Anxi army, and such a victory was really nothing. The Dehgans who came here began to meet in private, talking about the events of the day, and Ma Lan did not prohibit this kind of behavior.

Over the next three days, Dehgans came from afar to show their surrender to Ma Lu. Ma Lan received them one by one and told them to stay here and wait. Three days later, an order was issued, and all the Dekhgans left Isfahan with their escorts and headed for their respective territories.

They were accompanied by groups of Turkic cavalry. This time, the area to be cleared was extremely wide, and the new soldiers were short of manpower, so Ma Lan handed over all the tasks to the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers. These Turks are skilled in arching and horses, and it is not a problem to accomplish such a task.

And in each small Turkic cavalry, there was an operational staff officer sent by the new army as the leader. It was the Turks who were responsible for killing people, and they were the ones who were responsible for supervising, one was to supervise whether the Dhgans were loyal, and the other was to restrain the Turks not to go too far, plundering was inevitable, but since the Dhgans had surrendered, it was not easy to do too much.

After these things were arranged, Ma Lan had a rare leisure time.

When these Turkic cavalry returned, the east of the Zagros Mountains would be completely incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although this occupation is still very shallow, like a layer of floating soil, it can only be so until large-scale migration is not possible.

Until the occupation east of the Zagros Mountains is completely completed, the Great Army will remain in Isfahan.

Long before entering the salt desert and attacking Isfahan, when the army was still in the city of Shabhur, they had already sent emissaries to the territory they had occupied, and now from the north of the line from your Shabul to Rai (Rayi), from the line east of the line from your Shabul to the city of Wannian through Kerman, and from the Sistan basin and the Tocharian mountains, the Dekhgans have received orders to completely purge the Arabians and Yemenis. There may have been perfunctory responsibilities before, but when the news of Isfahan's victory returns, I am afraid that no one will dare to ignore the orders of the Anxi army.

By the time the Dekhgans carried out this most draconian command, the Muslims would have no place on the entire Iranian plateau, and the influence of Huda would be completely eradicated. At that point, it was time to cross the Zagros Mountains and continue westward expansion.

After leaving the city, several months had passed, and Ma Lu and the new army of Anxi had finally rested completely.

Conquering the east of the Zagros Mountains, the next step is to re-enter the plains of Mesopotamia. Once Kufa is recaptured this time, it will not be handed over to anyone again.

Isfahan, located in the valley, is a treasure trove that will rebirth a huge city in the Tang Dynasty style. While Ma Lan accompanied Yang Youniang to wander among the surrounding mountains, the staff and craftsmen were nervously calculating and measuring outside the ruins of Isfahan, preparing for the next step in building the city.

With a woman you like by your side, life will naturally not be so boring. Yang Youniang has no chance to perform in this war, this is a matter of course, if even the boss's wife needs to go to the battlefield with a knife, it must have encountered an extremely serious crisis. And for Ma Lan and the new army of Anxi, this is simply impossible.

Michelle refused to be his woman, which made Ma Lan a little depressed, but he didn't take this matter to heart. The beautiful Xinghu woman haunts the barracks every day, and her expression looks a lot more lively, and she is no longer cold in the past, which is a very good thing in Ma Lu's opinion.

It's not easy to put down the barriers in your heart. After putting it down, it's relaxed.

He also has a barrier in his heart, that is, the threat of Hu Da civilization. Until now, he has not been able to completely let go.

Only when the battle flag of the Anxi Army was planted on every piece of land in the Great Food Empire, could the block in his chest be completely lowered after that day. And now, just this possibility is far from a reality.

……

After more than ten days, groups of Turkic cavalry returned from various places. In the closest place to Isfahan, the operation to completely eliminate the Huda forces has been completed.

The Turkic cavalry returned with a large number of civilians, who came here as coolies to build the city. This time, to rebuild a new city near the ruins, it will take a lot of coolies, and every Persian Dehgan who has joined the Tang Dynasty must provide a certain number of coolies according to the size of the territory, which is Ma Lan's order, and it is also another way to show their loyalty.

In fact, these Dehgans had lost a lot of men in the previous battle of Isfahan, although they did not participate in the battle themselves, but many civilians in the territory were driven by Ibrahim's army, and they were all young and strong, and all of them died in Isfahan, which was a great loss for them. However, this time Ma Lan gave the order, and the Dekhgans still did their best, sending a large number of Persian farmers here, and each De Hegan family provided more coolies than Ma Lan requested.

Under high pressure, the Dehgans trembled, which is why this is the case. These were also expected by Ma Lan, because the design of the new city had not yet been completed, so these people gathered together after arriving, and did not directly devote themselves to labor, but were full of food and did nothing all day long.

More than a month has passed, and the time is almost the end of summer.

The Turkic cavalry sent out had almost returned, and the entire east of the Zagros Mountains had become the direct territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hu forces had been completely eradicated. The number of Persian coolies gathered here was as high as 100,000.

The battle in the Zagros Mountains came to an end, and things went so smoothly that it could be said that the spread of the news was decided, and the establishment of the new city began in earnest. (To be continued.) )
