Chapter 19: Persian Turmoil

During the five years that Chen Xuanli presided over the military affairs of the Western Regions, one of them was to support the forces of the Persian homeland against the Arab Empire, and no one was more familiar with this matter than him.

"Good!" The generals praised in unison and greatly agreed with this proposal.

"I'll leave this matter to General Chen." Zhang Shuo was also satisfied, and asked, "What does General Chen plan to do?" ”

"The old rule, in addition to giving them weapons and armor, we can also send small troops into Persian territory and guide them into battle." Chen Xuanli raised his eyebrows and said: "Although these Persians resist very strongly, they are not elite after all, and they may not have a way to encounter some hard stubble, if our army goes, it will be different." ”

Although the resistance of the Persian people was fierce, they were not a regular army after all, and they did not have a unified organization, a strong leadership, and no core strength, so their resistance was somewhat insufficient. If the Tang Army had participated, the situation would have been very different.

"That's very good." The generals agreed in unison.

As soon as the matter was discussed, Chen Xuanli immediately set about it, and a vigorous resistance movement began to be staged under the leadership of the Tang Army.

On the territory of Persia, a squad of Arab imperial troops was chasing down a group of Manichaeans.

"You heretics, you deserve to die! Damn it! ”

"You do not believe in Allah, the Almighty, and you deserve death!"

"Kill all these heretics."

The armies of the Arab Empire roared loudly, and the light shone fiercely above and below, like tigers descending from the mountains. Lunge at the Manichaeans.

These Manichaeans are not numerous, although they are not afraid of death, dare to fight and dare to die. But they were outnumbered, and everyone was wounded, so they couldn't resist it.

"Brothers: I have good news for you, the prince has sent someone to bring the news that the army of the Tang Dynasty has marched westward, our good days are coming, and we must not compromise! We must fight these hateful and hateful infidels to the end! The leader of the Manichaean tribe clenched the scimitar in his hand. Train out loud.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty." Looking forward to the Tang Army's westward advance, they have been looking forward to it for decades, and now they are finally looking forward to the good news. This made the Manichaeans very excited, and they were all in high spirits and cheering loudly.

"Brothers: We must welcome the arrival of the Don Army with victory!" The leader has a knife in his hand

"Kill all the dogs." The Manichaeans roared loudly, their eyes bloodshot, and they pounced with their scimitars.

"Haha! You heretics, dying and still dreaming. The Tang army is advancing westward, but it is impossible to get here. Do you know why? Because the wise and great governor wanted to block the Tang army in Talas, the Tang army was still fighting hard under the city of Talas at this time. ”

"I didn't tell you that the wise and great Governor had already planned a way to defeat the Tang Army. Your hopes will always be disappointed. None of you will die well. ”

"Kill all these heretics."

The eyes of the soldiers of the Arab Empire sparkled fiercely, and they looked at these Manichaeans like hunters looking at their prey. Excited Mo Ming. The scimitars in their hands greeted the Manichaeans fiercely, fiercely and mercilessly.

Although these Manichaeans were brave, they were no match, and many were slashed and killed, and their numbers were drastically reduced.

"Kill all the dogs." However, these Manichaeans did not lose their fighting spirit and continued to fight.

Seeing that the Manichaeans could not last long, the soldiers of the Arab Empire were very proud and sneered: "Heretics, is your savior coming?" What about the Tang Army, whom you regard as a savior? ”

"The Tang army has been defeated, and it is impossible to come again."

These soldiers of the Arab Empire were so excited that they roared like thunder.

"Who said we weren't coming?"

"You don't have eyes, do you? Don't you see we're here? ”

However, as soon as their cries fell, a thunderous sound sounded, and a Tang army suddenly appeared, riding horses and waving horizontal swords, rushing towards these clamor Arab imperial troops.

"Tang Jun? How is this possible! It's funny! ”

"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."

"I'm laughing to death."

The soldiers of the Arab Empire listened to it as a joke, grinning one by one, as if it were the funniest joke in the world.

"Tang Jun! Tang Jun! It's really the Tang Army! ”

"Tang Jun, you are really here!"

"Great! The Tang army is coming, and we are saved. ”

The Manichaeans, who were in a desperate situation, were ecstatic and shouted loudly to vent their joy.

"Are these heretics crazy...... Belch...... Is it really the Tang Army? ”

"It seems like it might be possible...... It's the Don Army. ”

"It's really Tang Jun, how could they come so quickly?"

The soldiers of the Arab Empire wanted to ridicule the ecstatic Manichaeans, but before they could finish their sarcastic words, they saw the Tang army rushing like a whirlwind, and they could no longer ridicule it.

This is a Don army, absolutely yes.

Not only did this army wear the armor of the Tang Army, but they also looked very different from the Middle Eastern, yellow-skinned, blue-eyed, authentic Chinese.

In terms of equipment alone, the soldiers of the Arab Empire may not believe it. However, this appearance cannot be changed, and the soldiers of the Arab Empire have to believe it even if they don't believe it.

Immediately afterward, they just couldn't figure it out, wasn't the Tang army trapped in Talas by the great and wise governor? How did you come here?

For this question, they did not understand and did not have time to figure it out, because the Tang Army did not give them time.

The Tang army rushed like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the horizontal knife in his hand was fiercely slashed, and after a while, these soldiers of the Arab Empire were killed by the Tang army.

"Damn the big dog, suffer death!"

"You have today! The Don Army is mighty! ”

Those Manichaeans looked at the Tang army like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, rushing back and forth to kill bravely, and they were all in high spirits and cheered in unison. Cheer for the Tang Army. It's more about joining the fight despite the pain.

"Tang Jun. You're here. ”

"Tang Jun, we are finally looking forward to you, our good days are coming."

After killing this group of Arab imperial troops, the Manichaeans were excited, with smiles on their faces and red lights, surrounding the Tang army. Laughing, maybe this is the happiest moment of their lives.

"Brethren, we are too late to make you suffer." Tang Jun looked at these wounded Manichaeans for a while. My heart is sour, and I feel very uncomfortable.

"Not bitter, not bitter." For the Manichaeans who were in the excitement, as long as the Tang Army could come. It's worth it no matter how hard and tired it is. He was happy, and he didn't show the slightest sign of suffering.

"Brethren, do you have any problems that you want to solve? Such as the lackey minions of the big dog-eating dogs, granaries, bridges, roads, etc. Captain Tang asked loudly.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! The Manichaeans' eyes lit up with joy.

Tang Jun is really a good person, he thinks about them as soon as he comes, and wants to solve their troubles.

"Tang Jun, not far from us, Da Shigou has a granary, and there is a lot of grain and grass there." The Manichaeans were busy.

After the lieutenant of the Tang military confirmed that it was correct. Ask them to lead the way. Soon, the Tang army came to this grain and grass. In one go, he took it in one go, opened the warehouse and released the grain, so that the surrounding Persian people came to receive the grain.

This is a righteous act, an act of benevolence and righteousness, which won the favor of the Persian people, and everyone praised "Tang Jun is really a good person."

For this kind of goodwill, it is exactly what Tang Jun needs. After the restoration of the Persian Empire by the Tang Dynasty, it was necessary to control the Persian Empire, which needed to establish a good feeling in the minds of the Persian people.

There was too much grain and grass in this granary, and the Persian people moved it for a long time, but they still didn't finish moving, and the last fire of the Tang army burned clean.

In another place, a group of Arab imperial troops was escorting grain and grass, and as they were walking, an army suddenly emerged and surrounded them.

"You are so bold that you dare to be enemies of Allah's faithful servants, and you will not die well."

"These heretics, all deserve to die."

These Arab imperial troops were accustomed to being majestic in their homeland in Persia, and they did not watch carefully, and shouted arrogantly.

"Haha." There were many Manichaeans in this army, and they saw the smug appearance of the Arab Imperial army in their eyes, and they couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn big dog-eater, don't open your dog's eyes to take a good look, who is in front of you?" Sue you, this is the Tang Army! The army of the Tang Dynasty! The Master of Kings! Teacher of Righteousness! ”

The arrival of the Tang army made the Persian people happy. Moreover, the Tang army did not disappoint them, did not burn, kill, rob or plunder, and also opened a warehouse to release grain to help them, and gave them weapons and armor. In the minds of the Persian people, the Tang army is the army of benevolence and righteousness, and they have to blow the conch for the Tang army when they have the opportunity.

"Tang Jun? You really think, how could the Tang army come here when he was thousands of miles away...... Belch. The armies of the Arab Empire did not believe it at all, and ridiculed the Persian people.

Before they finished a sentence, they saw clearly, who else could it be that it wasn't Tang Jun standing in front of them?

As a result, they couldn't laugh anymore, and their faces were incredulous: "Tang Jun? It's really the Tang Army! How did Tang Jun come here? Could it be that Talas has been captured by the Tang Army? ”

In order to boost the morale of the army, Yusuf ordered people to boast everywhere, blowing Talas like a divine city, and it could not be captured. These Arab imperial troops really couldn't understand how the Tang army could come to them.

Just when they were suspicious, the Don army attacked. The result can be imagined, the Tang army won a complete victory.

XXXXXXXX

In another place, the Tang army led a group of Persian civilians to destroy a dangerous bridge.

In another place, taking advantage of the good opportunity of the Arab Imperial army to sleep soundly in the middle of the night, the Tang army, under the guidance of the Persian people, suddenly killed, killed the Arab Imperial army here, and burned the barracks with a fire.

In this way, the Tang army, with the cooperation of the Persian people, acted everywhere to carry out sabotage, killing those who could be killed, and harassing those who could not, in a word, to make the Arab Imperial army unsafe.

The news of the arrival of the Tang army spread faster than the wind, which inspired the Persian people, who responded en masse and guided the Tang army's actions.

In the beginning, this upheaval was only in northern Persia, and soon it swept through the whole of Persia. (To be continued......)
