……

The Gaozong Dynasty set up the Persian Governor's Mansion in the city of Jiling, which was subordinate to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which existed for only a few years, and with the flight of Balus to Chang'an, the Persian Governor's Mansion existed in name only.

Of course, the Persian Governorate has never been abolished explicitly, and the reopening of the Persian Governorate is actually just a rehash of the old things.

Chen Xilie, the left minister, wrote the chapter that night, and handed it to the court meeting the next day, and Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, gave his gracious approval, and the edict was immediately sent.

With General Zuo Weiwei and Mu Kun, a descendant of the Persian royal family, he was the governor of the Persian Governor's Palace, and he also treated the Lingcheng City, which was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Humaluan. He ordered the Anxi capital to protect Ma Ling and capture the city of Jiling, thinking that Mu Kun, the governor of Persia, was the place where he set up his life.

On the day the edict was issued, Mu Kun, the general of Zuo Weiwei, thanked the Son of Heaven and rode out of Anyuan Gate with hundreds of guards on camels and headed towards Anxi.

This matter did not make any waves among the people of Chang'an, the river was too far away, and no one knew where the Persian Governor's Mansion was and where the Jiling City was. Now the most lively news is the news of the victory of Jiannan Road, the former prime minister Yang Guozhong is about to return to Chang'an City, and the people of Chang'an are extremely happy, where will they pay attention to this little thing.

……

Kufa City.

The 40,000 caliphates' troops were assembled on the banks of the river, and one by one they looked full of fighting spirit. Opposite them was the Syrian legion from afar, with a size of 20,000 men, which was already all the strength in the hands of Abdullah, the governor of Syria.

"My dear uncle, Allah is with you." Mansour looked at Abdullah and smiled, "With such a strong army, you will definitely be able to drive away the Tang people who have come from afar." Khorasan is the land of Allah, and it is our shame to be occupied by a foreign race, so please wash away this shame with the blood of the aliens. ”

Abdullah's expression was pious, and he bowed slightly and said, "Dear Mansur, I will definitely kill all the Tang people in Mulu City." You have put such an army in my hands, and Abdullah thanks you for your trust. ”

Mansur smiled and said, "Vizier Khalid will go with you and help you command the army of the 40,000 Kufa City, and he will obey your orders." ”

Abdullah looked at Khalid, who was standing in front of the 40,000 caliphate army, and nodded slightly.

These 40,000 troops were all cavalry, and they were the most important force in Mansur's hands, and Mansur naturally refused to put the command in his hands. When Mulu arrived, Khalid, Mansour's loyal dog, would not fight easily, and Mansour's idea was to let his Syrian legions fight desperately to weaken his power while driving away the Tangs.

"When these 40,000 cavalry are lost under Mulu City, the caliph should belong to me!" Abdullah sneered in his heart, but his expression was extremely calm.

Mansur is just a man who has become a caliph. He also claims to be the shadow of Allah on earth, which is simply arrogant to the extreme. Although Abdullah himself was not a religious believer, he was still angry at al-Mansur's hubris.

The Prophet himself had never said such a thing, and the Caliph was only an agent of the Prophet, so how could he offend the Holy Allah? The most foolish monarch of the Umayyad dynasty would not let all his subjects pray for him every week, but Mansur dared to do so!

Doing so would only divide the Great Eclipse, who is also a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, and Abdullah is extremely worried. Mansur must be driven down and the Great Cannibal rally in order to save the fragile nascent empire.

"My dear uncle, I await your good news in the city of Kufa. By the way, every Friday, don't forget to lead the warriors in praying for their caliphate. ”

Abdullah nodded silently, turned and mounted his iron-clad horse, and galloped east with 20,000 Syrian legions. After a while, Khalid followed with 40,000 Kufa horsemen.

Mansour stood by the river, a happy smile on his face.

His vizier was a clever man, and no one could have come up with a good idea to push the ill-intentioned Abdullah into the battlefield against the invaders. The Tang invasion of Khorasan was originally a bad thing, but his vizier turned the bad thing into a good thing.

Originally, there were no more than 100,000 soldiers in the Great Eclipse Country, but now that the situation is urgent, the 40,000 Kufa cavalry are generally newly recruited. These 60,000 people are a decisive force in the Black Clothes Eatery, and Mansur has absolute confidence in driving the Tang people back to the other side of the Wuhu River.

He only hoped that Abdullah would die on the battlefield as he wished, without the help of his vizier khaled. In any case, after Abdullah left Kufa, he could never come back alive.

When the Tang people are driven away, he can calmly clean up all the political enemies in the country, and when the domestic situation is stable, maybe there is a possibility of competing with the Tang people in the river.

……

It took Tian Mingyuan more than a month to lead the army of the Eastern Expedition to Balhei, but it only took more than 20 days to return. The bloody methods effectively established the rule of the Tang people, and the obedient Dehgans became the agents of the Tang army in various places, replacing the Tang army to manage this vast area.

Khino led the Persian army to sweep a large area of Mulu City up to the Wuhu River, which had almost been slaughtered into white ground. Most of the Persian tribes in this area were involved in the Battle of Wuhu, so the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers showed no mercy to these tribes. As for the small number of Persian tribes who did not participate in the Battle of Wuhushui, although the Turkic miscellaneous soldiers did not completely sweep away, they were indispensable for a round of plunder. The Kangju merchants, who followed the Turkic soldiers, were the happiest, and exchanged all the things that the Turks had stolen with one by one, loaded them on camels, and sent them back to the city in groups.

The brutal killings and iron-blooded sweeps made the order in the area controlled by the Tang army extremely stable, and at this time, Abdullah's messenger came with the news that Abdullah's Syrian army and 40,000 Kufa iron cavalry had killed Khorasan, preparing to drive the Tang people out of Mulu City.

The new army of Anxi is good at fighting in the plains, so naturally it has no intention of defending Mulu City. Therefore, Ma Lan directly led the whole army of Anxi New Army out of Mulu and killed it towards the border of Khorasan Province.

Tian Mingyuan's expedition to the east killed more than 100,000 Persians, but he also killed more than 500 Anxi athletes, which made Ma Ling feel distressed. Now the number of Anxi athletes in his hands is less than 10,000, and this time they all followed out of Mulu, and what remained in Mulu City was Batim's 3,000 puppet army.

As for the military quarters of the army, half of them were supplied by the Kangju merchants and the Mulu merchants. The Tang army's march was the most reasonable, and the supply of military supplies was an extremely profitable business, and Ma Lu gave half of the business to the Mulu people, on the one hand, to show tenderness to the Mulu people, and on the other hand, to warn the Kangju people.

Duan Xiushi was trapped in the mansion and was extremely irritable, still not getting rid of the state of addiction, and the Sogdian cook had not yet caught it. Ma Lu was extremely angry about this matter, and gave half of the business to the Mulu people, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for the Kangju people.

This time, Duan Junzi didn't follow, he and a few of his own soldiers guarding him were the only Tang people in Mulu City.

Khorasan in July and August is a good time to use troops.

The march of the new army in Anxi already had strict rules, and they set up camp after marching 150 li every day, and when they marched, scouts released 100 li, and when they set up camp, they dug trenches and set up fences to place barbed wire. In the past two months, the Ansi agents have not been idle, the map of the entire Khorasan area has been drawn very clearly, plus there are people from the Batim family as guides, Kangju merchants and Mulu merchants follow the army to supply supplies, so the march is extremely smooth, and ten days later they will arrive at the ancient city of Youshabul.

You Sabul, later known as Neshapur, is also an extremely important city in the province of Khorasan. Although the scale is not as large as Mulu, the population is more than 100,000, and a few hundred miles to the southeast is another famous city in the province of Khorasan, Herat, which was later the capital of Herat Province in Afghanistan.

The Tang army has occupied Mulu City for more than two months, and the Dehgans of your Shabuer have already become frightened birds, and the army of the Caliph, who has been waiting for a long time, has not arrived, and the Tang army, which is close at hand, has not moved. Dehegan, who was willing to take risks, had already gone to Mulu City to visit Ma Lu, and was willing to lead the way for the Tang people, and after the Tang army arrived, these guys immediately took the city gate with their clansmen to welcome the Tang army into the city.

The entire regular army of Khorasan was in Mulu, which had been wiped out by the Anxi army, and there were many Persians around you Shapul, but no effective resistance was formed.

This time, the 10,000 Turkic miscellaneous soldiers of Qibi Ye stayed near Mulu City to guard, Ma Lu did not let them follow, and Anxi Jian'er was not really bloodthirsty, so this ancient city escaped the catastrophe. Under the guidance of the leading party, the Abbasids in the city were exterminated, all the imams were executed, and the Dehgans, who were the first to fall to the Tang army, kept their wealth and got power from the Tang army as they wished, and formed a puppet army to control you Shabul. The hesitant Dehgans were robbed of most of their wealth by the Tang army, and the slaves in their families were also released by the Tang army, and the only wealth left was houses and land.

It has been a few months since he entered Khorasan, and Ma Lu is already very experienced in such things. He also knew how ridiculous it was to look at the Hu Da believers in this era from the eyes of later generations, the Hu Da world in this era was still secular, and all kinds of strange sects were still secretly not in the open, and Persian Mawari chose to believe in Hu Da mostly in order to avoid the poll tax and to obtain the same status as the Arabians and Yemenis. In less than a hundred years, it was not possible for the Persians to be truly religious, especially these rich and learned Dehgan nobles, and Ma Lan had never seen a few people who were truly fanatical about their beliefs.

So for Datang, this is the time when there is a lot to do. Ma Lan only hopes that Chang'an can give himself more time so that he can complete the plan to split the black clothes and eat.

Anyway, he is already a master of high merit, and when the crown prince Li Heng or Li Longji or any other son takes the throne, it will inevitably do something to himself, and then he will have to leave, and before that, he must stabilize the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence west of Green Mountain.
