Chapter Twenty-Three: The End of a Hero (Part II)

"I only hated that I did not listen to Salamah, and made Sadigh, a descendant of the mighty Ali, a scholar, a caliph. It was a big-hearted man who could accommodate all the Persians. I killed Salama, and now I am going to be killed by these two hyenas. "And. Posilin sighed.

"You are a lowly Mavari, and the noble blood of Abbas naturally cannot tolerate you. You helped him ascend to the throne, but he still looked down on you. At the end of the day, it's a matter of blood. How can a descendant of the family of the Prophet reuse a fellow whose hands are stained with the blood of noble Arabians? Ma Lan laughed.

Du Huan looked at Ma Lan, and suddenly felt that he couldn't understand the general.

General Ma Lan joined the army in Anxi at the end of the first century, and was a pioneer in every battle, and he was a famous warrior for his miraculous feats, but when did he become so knowledgeable?

"Join the army, you can start!" See and. Bo Xilin closed his eyes in pain, and Ma Ling waved his hand.

"General, are you really going to kill him?" Du Huan said with some worry, "This is the marshal of the big cannibal, as the saying goes, the life and death of such a person should not be decided by us, and it is common sense to go to the capital to offer victory......

"There is no lieutenant here, we are not a serious march, I, the lord, will you join the army temporarily, what do you want to do so much, read out the guilt!" Ma Lan smiled.

Just kidding, only kill in public and. Posilin, tie the Sogdians to the chariots of the Anxi army in order to maximize the benefits of this matter. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must seize it firmly, and we have no time to think about the consequences for ourselves.

……

Two Sogdian fat men armed with scimitars stood side by side. On both sides of Posilin, ready to move. Facing the crowd, Du Huan began to proclaim in Sogdian. Posilin's guilt.

Du Huan is a standard reader, and he is the best at concocting crimes. Posilin had prepared a dozen counts, but as soon as he had read two, he could no longer read them.

Because at this time, the high platform has become extremely lively, and the angry shouts are like a mountain and a tsunami.

Because at this time, everyone in the audience knew that this guy on the high platform was the famous king of Persia and. Posilin!

At this moment, I don't know how many people scolded loudly, and the sound had already covered Du Huan's voice.

In desperation, Du Huan had no choice but to stop.

"General, look at thisβ€”"

Ma Xuan didn't speak, but in the midst of the hustle and bustle, he was extremely calm, squinting at the crowd below.

Among the inhabitants of Sa Mojian, there are indeed many Persians, and the number is less than 30%. These are and. These are the hard-boiled supporters of Posilin, and the loudest noise is these people.

They were all Mawari, who was the basis of the Abbasid Revolution, and. Posilin brought them endless glory and now see and. When Posilin fell to this point, he was immediately angry.

In addition, a small number of Sogdians also made a loud noise, but the number was not large, but only one or two percent of the Sogdians.

It seems that the Chinese historical records are true, and the complete conversion of the Sogdians in the river to Huda was barely completed a hundred years later, and most of these Sogdians are still Zoroastrians.

During the Sassanid Empire, Zoroastrianism was the state religion of the Persians, and the Sogdians of the River were also deeply influenced. Today, in the Persian homeland, Zoroastrianism is negligible and underground, while the Sogdians in the river still hold fast to their faith.

In fact, the Sogdians and the East Persians have a deep ethnic relationship and many linguistic similarities, so it can be said that they are of the same language and the same species, and the biggest difference between them today is probably whether they believe in the god of light.

If the Sogdians, who were the majority of the people in the area, had changed their faith and no longer believed in the god of light, Ma Ling would have left immediately, never stopped, and honestly returned to Anxi with the Han family and his sons and daughters safely. And judging from the current situation, it is the time to make the tide.

"King Qinhua, cut a piece of flesh from this guy's body." Ma Lan ordered.

"Yes, General!" At this time, it was also simple, and with a wave of the Damascus scimitar in his hand, he cut off a large piece of his clothes and meat. Bo Silin's shoulders were dripping with blood, and he couldn't help but roar in pain.

When the Kangju Sogdians saw their own king doing this, they were a little confused, and they just watched. The Persians were furious, and immediately hundreds of people roared out of the crowd and pounced in the direction of the high platform.

"Kill!" Ma Luan's voice was cold and hard, he had expected such a scene.

The archers on the edge of the platform rained down on arrows, and most of the crowd that rushed out fell to the ground. The rest roared and continued to rush forward, but they were greeted by the steel swords of the Anxi army infantry.

A moment later, there were more than 100 corpses under the high platform, and there was not a single living person who dared to rush out.

"Tang people, you are shameless!" Combine. Bo Xilin trembled with anger.

Ma Lan smiled indifferently: "Respect the king, it's your turn." ”

"Yes, General!" Mo snorted and laughed, the knife in his hand flashed, and. There was a deep wound on Posilin's arm, and the blood was terrible.

This time, more Persian Mawari went berserk. For a while, hundreds of people rushed out, and at the same time ran towards the high platform. These people have no weapons, their eyes are red at the moment, and they are not afraid of the army in front of them!

Chebi Ye laughed, and rushed up with more than 2,000 miscellaneous tribal troops, and under the trampling of the iron horsemen, the Persians fell one after another.

The tribal armies were most fond of fighting with the wind, and the weaker the enemy, the better, and these unarmed Persians, although they went mad, could not pose any threat to them.

Soon the ground was littered with scattered corpses, trampled by the horses. The smell of blood wafted through the air, and the smell was disgusting.

The crowd fell silent again, and the remaining Persians looked at the Anxi army with a look of struggle in their eyes, but no one moved forward.

After all, not everyone is not afraid of death, even if they have faith as a weapon.

"Damn the Tang people, you kill me!" Combine. Bo Xilin endured the pain and roared loudly.

"Don't you want to do something about watching your people die like this?" Ma Lan smiled maliciously.

"Tang people, what do you mean!" Combine. Bo Silin said angrily.

"General Ben gives you a chance to tell your people what happened to you and why you are in this situation, and then General Ben promises to give you a good time, and will give you the courtesy you deserve. You are a hero, and a hero should not be tortured like this. ”

"Don, you want meβ€”"

"You're a smart guy and you should know what I mean. You're going to die, and that's the only thing you can do for your people, isn't it? You don't tell them what's going on, Mawari will always be Mawari. Ma Lan smiled extremely sinisterly.

Combine. Posilin gasped and stared at Ma Lu as if he were looking at a poisonous snake.

What a character he is, and how he doesn't understand what Ma Lu means.

This Tang man not only wants to kill him, but also uses him to seek the greatest benefit for the Tang people before killing him!

What do the Dons want to see? That's the chaos in the Hano-chu region and the entire province of Khorasan! Only in this way can the Tang have hope to win the chestnut in the fire!

As long as he tells the truth, the Mavari will definitely rise up against the two hyenas, and the Great Food Lieutenant General will once again be in the midst of war. Such a situation is the most beneficial to the Tang people.

However, this is his only chance to tell the truth, if he dies like this, he will not be reconciled!

More importantly, only by telling the truth will the Persians recognize the true colors of those two hyenas and will not be deceived by those two hyenas.

Knowing that it was the Tang people who benefited the most from doing this, he had no choice!

……

"General, you really know a lot. Now, even if you say you know Persian, I'll believe it right away. Du Huan's eyes flashed and he said softly.

Ma Ling nodded and did not speak.

It is impossible for Du Huan to understand the value of what he is doing now in his heart.

This time the stakes are high, and he is already desperate. Even if too many secrets were exposed, he couldn't ignore them. Even if it was risking his life, he wouldn't care.

Wooden pillars on top of and. Posilin looked even weaker, as if he was going to die at any moment. Ma Lan knew that this guy would definitely make a choice, so he didn't rush.

Combine. Posilin thought that Abbas and Mansur were plotting against him, and it was strange that he could endure it.

Sure enough, a few breaths later, and. Bo Xilin nodded to Ma Lan.

"The king of Persia has something to say, tell these people to shut up." Ma Lan commanded.

Du Huan nodded and spoke aloud several times in Persian and Sogdian.

This guy's voice is so loud that he attacked and . Posilin cavalry has already seen it. The sound spread, and the people under the high platform fell silent.

All eyes fell on the man on the wooden pillar, ready to hear what he had to say.

The ragged young Persian slave was tied to a wooden stake, like a martyr. Knowing that he was going to die, his spirit was much better.

"All the noble Mavari, I, the most pious and . Posilin, I want to tell you something. ”

"The one who sent me to the enemy was none other than the guy from Kufa City, Abu. Abbas, and his vile brother. We shed our blood to defeat the most powerful enemies for them, and they still see us as lowly slaves! ”

In the crowd, there was a slight commotion.

"Noble Mawaris, Abu. Abbas promised that we would take the place of the Arabians as the king's guard. But now it seems that he did not intend to do so. They have the blood of the Prophet family in them, but they are two vile hyenas! They don't speak of faith at all, and their souls are filthy! ”

The noise in the crowd grew louder and louder, and the Persians were a little confused for a while. For the same race and . Bo Silin, naturally, they are extremely trusting. However, the reverence for the family of the prophet made them temporarily unacceptable and. Posilin's statement.

As for the Sogdians, quite a few have already begun to reconcile. Bosilin glared angrily. They are also Mawari, and they also contributed to the Abbasid revolution, but because of their ethnic group, they are not interested in the union. Naturally, Posilin will not be absolutely trusted. Combine. When Posilin opened his mouth to accuse the descendants of the Prophet's family, they were naturally furious.

Seeing the different expressions of the people under the high platform, Ma Luan's face remained unchanged, but he was already laughing out loud in his heart.

Combine. Bo Xilin must die, but before he dies, he can still contribute to Datang. The current situation is exactly what Ma Lan wants to see.
