These families were extremely confident in Ma Lu's army, and did not consider the possibility of defeat at all. In the eyes of these Dehgans, it is inevitable that Datang will sweep the entire Dashi, and if you hug Datang's thighs as soon as possible, you will be able to get more benefits after the war.

Businessmen are shrewd, and in fact the status quo is. Before the Anxi army went deep into Dashi, the Persian Dehgans of your Shabul City had already followed the actions of the army and obtained huge wealth, and the tax collectors of some cities along the way were appointed to your families in Shabug City, and these families actually became the local rulers. Following the actions of the Tang Dynasty army, for these profit-seeking people, the benefits that can be obtained are many, and there is a great temptation.

Your Shabuer City is an extremely important location for the current territory of the Tang Dynasty in the homeland of Persia.

At the beginning, Ma Lan cooperated with Abdullah, the governor of Syria, to help Abdullah break through the city of Kufa, on the condition that Abdullah cede a large amount of land to the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, it was just a map to open up the territory, but now these lands are already in the hands of Datang.

The ceded land is divided into two parts.

One part is a narrow strip of land north of the salt desert from your Shabuer to the west to the ancient city of Rai. The ancient city of Rai was later Tehran and the last place where the last emperor of the Persian Sassanid Empire, Isia III, gave his voice to his subjects when he fled. Located on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, the ancient city of Rai is a strip of wide corridors that is one of the few rich areas on the Iranian plateau.

This is the route taken when attacking the city of Kufa, along this corridor to Rai. It then turns southwest over the Zagros Mountains and into the fertile valley of the Two Rivers. This corridor area was directly included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the war to break through the Great Food King Capital.

Part II. It is a straight line from your Shapur to the southwest, through the ancient city of Kerman, and finally to the Strait of Hormuz. The territory east of this straight line was ceded to the Tang Dynasty. From this straight line to the east, including the Sistan Basin, several Tang vassal states that extended to the southern foot of the Green Mountains became the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The conquest of the territory east of this line was completed. The city of Wannian in front of the Strait of Hormuz is the most important stronghold, and the entire Sistan basin has been swept by Tian Mingyuan, and the people who should have been killed have already been killed. The rest of the Dehgans all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Immediately after Abdullah's conquest of Kufa, he was challenged by the Umayyad descendants and the Shiite Ibrahim, and the entire strength of the Syrian legion had to deal with the attacks of the two caliphs, and the royal capital had been moved back to Damascus from Kufa. The three sides fought inextricably. Abdullah didn't have time to take care of the area east of the Zagros Mountains. Datang is in this area, and there is actually no decent opponent.

Starting from the city of Shap, the territory of these two lines is extremely large, long beyond the scope of the province of Khorasan, and has occupied a third of the Persian homeland. Judging from the map, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is like a pair of open pincers, and between the two lines is the territory of the Great Eclipse east of the Zagros Mountains.

And this time, the new army of Anxi will conquer first. It's the territory sandwiched in the pincers, all the land east of the Zagros Mountains.

This time it's a march. It still starts with your Sapphir City. Once the army arrived, the killing began.

Now within the homeland of Persia, in fact, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is not strictly limited to these two lines. Fars, one of the four heavenly paradises on earth, is located on the west side of Wannian City and does not belong to the territory ceded by Abdullah to the Tang Dynasty, but the entire province of Dehgan has fallen to the Tang Dynasty, and the province of Fars has become the bag of the Anxi army. In the past two years, the Dehegans who have fallen to the Tang Dynasty have not been idle, relying on the support of the Datang, they are also constantly expanding their power and annexing the territory of the Dehegan near the two lines. The territory they annexed is naturally the territory of Datang, so the territory within the tongs has actually been annexed by Datang. Of course, due to the limitations of their strength, this expansion can only be described as encroachment, and it is not too far from the demarcated line.

Of course, on the west side of the Zagros Mountains, there is also a territory occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and Niu Xu and the only fleet of the Anxi Army have established a foothold in Basra, from Basra up 200 miles to the mouth of the river, which is the sphere of influence of the expeditionary force.

The army stopped at the city of Shabul for three days, and after determining the interests of your Shabur and the Herat Dekhgans, they went straight to the middle of the two straight lines, plunged into the salt desert, and went straight to the ancient city of Isfahan.

Isfahan is located northwest of Kerman, basically in the middle of the line between the ancient city of Rai and Shiraz, the capital of the province of Fars, and is also the famous city of Persia and the capital of the province. Located in the valley on the eastern side of the Zagros Mountains, Isfahan was a city with a population of nearly one million in later generations and a population of one or two hundred thousand in this era.

Isfahan is an extremely important city in the Great Eclipse territory east of the Zagros Mountains, and it is also the largest and richest city in the land that has not yet been occupied by the Tang Dynasty. So this time to attack the big food, Ma Lan's primary goal is here.

This time, the speed of the army's advance was not fast, and even the merchants' caravans could calmly keep up. This line is far away from two straight lines, so the local city lords and nobles have not had time to fall to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang army is extremely famous here, so the Dehegans along the way have very few resistance, at first a few small cities chose to close their doors to resist the army, and the army was broken by a drum and then the whole city was washed in blood, and the surrounding villages were also burned to a white ground, and then there was no more dare to resist.

But even so, the killings continued one after another.

The main people killed were not Persians, but Arabians and Yemenis who remained in the area after the Abbasid revolution.

……

More than 100 years ago, the Great Cannibals came out of the desert, first defeating the Byzantines in the Jordan Valley, and then turning east to destroy Sassanid Persia and establish the Umayyad Dynasty. A large number of Arabian herders also entered the newly occupied territory and became rulers from above.

Since the 'Umars of the Four Caliphs had already stipulated that Muslims were not allowed to enjoy fiefdoms in the newly occupied provinces, these people were entitled to government allowances during this period, and were effectively in the position of military aristocracy. Initially, there were strict restrictions on the Muslims of the newly conquered lands, because Muslims were exempt from paying the poll tax, and other taxes were also preferential, and the expansion of the number of Muslims would have a great impact on the dynasty's financial expenditures. However, as time went on, the city grew, and more and more non-Arab Muslims, known as Mawari, appeared. They demanded the same treatment as Arab Muslims, which was the internal cause of the Abbasid Revolution, which, together with the failure of several Umayyad expeditions to Byzantium, eventually led to the Abbasid Revolution and the fall of the Umayyad Dynasty.

The establishment of the Abbasid dynasty was actually a revival of the Persians, and the Alabians and Yemenis, who had originally existed as rulers and military nobles, lost their original status, and the standing army of the empire became Persians. Because of Umar's orders, the Arabians and Yemenis did not have any property in their Persian homeland, and the property was still owned by the Dekhgans of Persian origin. Since the caliph was still the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, the Persians did not count back against these former rulers, so they basically remained in the original city, but their status was greatly reduced, and they lived on their original wealth.

If history had not changed, these people would have merged into the larger Persians. And now, Ma Lan has entered this area with a large army, and he has also slaughtered in the areas he has submitted, and it is these people who have been killed.

The Dekhgans have no faith, the Mavari at the bottom can be changed, while the Arabians and Yemenis are born to be the most devout Huda believers.

The ultimate goal of conquering Dashi is to completely eradicate the Hu civilization from the Persian homeland, so these Hu Da remnants left in the Persian homeland are naturally impossible to allow them to live.

The Hu civilization is too powerful, strong enough to threaten the Han civilization, which is what Ma Lan fears the most. Therefore, in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this is absolutely not allowed.

Something like this has actually been done before. Bull Xu occupied Basra, the Tang Expeditionary Force was within the sphere of influence, and the Persian Dehgans launched a vigorous campaign to liquidate the outsiders, and the movement even spread beyond the sphere of influence of the expeditionary force, expanding to the area of Ctesiphon and Kufa, hundreds of thousands of Arabians and Yemenis died in the chaos, a few fled to Syria and Egypt, and some fled directly to the homeland of the Great Cannibals.

More than 10,000 new Anxi troops entered the chaotic Persian homeland, which was the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and the army slowly advanced in order to completely eliminate the Arabians and Yemenis in the cities along the way. So instead of always coming together to act, the army divided into several thousand troops to expand its area, ordering the Persian Dekhgans to submit and assisting the nobles in getting rid of the Arabians and Yemenis.

The Persian Dehgans were extremely enthusiastic about this matter, and with the support of the Tang Army, they were also merciless to these former masters. The orders issued by Ma Lan were extremely strict, and any Persian who tried to help or harbour the Arabians and Yemenis would be exterminated if they were discovered.

This order may not be carried out absolutely, but the Persians who are found hiding such people are indeed slaughtered, sometimes even to entire villages or streets. Under such high pressure, there are fewer and fewer Persians who dare to hide their former neighbors. Large numbers of Arabians and Yemenis are killed every day, as are the Persians associated with them.

The army slowly advanced towards Isfahan, and a bloody storm continued to rise in the newly occupied land. Due to Ma Lan's jealousy and malice towards Hu Da Civilization, the descendants of these great food conquerors more than 100 years ago fell into a catastrophe and became fish on the chopping board, waiting for the fate of being slaughtered.
