Chapter 1 Yusuf is annoying

Khorasan, the former Persian capital of Gul, the marshal of Yusuf.

Yusuf and the generals gathered together and were deliberating. They were all angry, as if someone had dug up their ancestral graves.

Yusuf's face was gloomy, and his eyes were shining, like a man-eating demon.

"Tell me, what problems do we have?" Yusuf asked, glancing at the generals.

"Your Excellency......" A shout rang out, and the generals scrambled to speak.

Although Yusuf is brutal, murderous, and ferocious, he has an advantage, that is, he can let his subordinates speak freely. Whatever is said is true and useful, he will use it. Moreover, he will also reward those who speak. Even if the words are fierce, even if it is not good for him, he can not care.

It is precisely because of this advantage that whenever he wants to discuss a matter, his subordinates will compete to speak.

"You say." Yusuf was named.

The generals who were selected were overjoyed, and their faces were full of red light, as if they had eaten honey. This is a very honorable thing. If what you say can attract Yusuf's attention, or even reward, it is extremely proud.

The rest of them are just envious. Yusuf will never be stingy when he shoots, as long as he takes a fancy to it, there will be a heavy reward. As for the reward, although it is one reason for the admiration of the generals, it is not all, and Yusuf's praise is what they really want to get.

Yusuf's vision is extremely high, and it is rare to praise people when he is idle. It would be a great honor to receive his praise.

"My lord, the Persians have revolted more fiercely, especially the Manichaeans. They are not afraid of death. Forward and forward. Making trouble here today, making trouble there tomorrow, Khorasan is becoming more and more unstable. The man held his head high and said loudly.

The homeland of Persia was extremely important to the Arab Empire, because the Persian Empire, an old empire in the Middle East, had existed for thousands of years, accumulated abundantly, and had a large number of mouths and abundant products. It is to get the homeland of Persia. Only then did the strength of the Arab Empire soar, so that it could dominate the Middle East and have the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because the Persian homeland is so important that successive caliphs of the Arab Empire have been running the Persian homeland and want to stabilize it. However, the Persian homeland is not easy to settle down, because of the deep-rooted Manichaeism here.

Manichaeism was the state religion of the Persian Empire, which existed for hundreds of years, and its influence can be imagined, with a large number of believers. The Arab Empire, on the other hand, pursued a bloody religious policy. If you don't believe in Muslims, you will be killed, can these Manichaeans not resist?

This revolt is for years. At one point, the Arab Empire wanted to give up the Persian homeland. Marek sent Yusuf, who was famous for his bloodshed, and after his arrival, he used a brutal massacre to kill many Manichaeans, so that the revolt weakened somewhat, and the Persian homeland was developing in the direction of predetermined stability.

However, this situation has changed since Li Longji defeated Gu Taibai and led his army into the Western Regions in a big way. When the people of Persia received the news of the Tang army's westward advance, they were overjoyed and encouraged, and they all rose up against the Arab Empire.

In this way, this mess became more and more intense, and Yusuf's previous efforts were in vain.

"My lord, the Chinese army is pressing the border, and a war with China is imminent, and if the rear is unstable, it will be extremely unfavorable to us. Are we changing our ways, no longer insisting on the way we came, and leaving a way back for the people of the old land? The man continued.

"No way!" A shout rang out, and the generals were greatly dissatisfied.

"These heretics deserve to die, and if they want to make trouble, kill them all."

"Kill as many as you want, I don't believe you can't kill them."

"They either become faithful servants of Allah or die!"

The generals shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder.

The rise of the Arab Empire was a bloody road, with a hard-line religious policy, either believing in Allah or killing the head, and there was no third way. Now, it is unacceptable to give the Persian people a way back.

"Hmm." Yusuf nodded appreciatively and said, "What do you think should be done?" ”

The rebellion in the Persian homeland was indeed too fierce, and if the Persian homeland could not be calmed down, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Arab Empire in the next major war with the Tang Dynasty.

"My lord, I thought it would be possible to solve the problem by collecting taxes." The man continued: "If you do not believe in Allah, you have to pay a heavy tax." ”

"Pay taxes?" The generals' eyes lit up, and there was no shortage of approving nods.

The Arab Empire pursued a hard-line religious policy, killing countless people and provoking fierce resistance. Later, the Arab Empire was full of trouble, and a huge empire was in turmoil, and in order to solve this problem, it finally had to give in and allow it to maintain its faith by collecting taxes.

If you are not a Muslim, you have to pay a heavy tax. In this way, this pressure is relieved.

If it were to follow the normal course of history, it would take some time for this approach to be proposed. It was only because the big war with the Tang Dynasty was imminent, in order to stabilize the rear, someone proposed this method in advance.

"Good way!" Yusuf nodded appreciatively and said, "That's it!" I will explain this to the Caliph. ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! It was a great honor to receive Yusuf's approval, and the man was overjoyed, red-faced, and thanked him vigorously.

Yusuf has already made a decision, and naturally no one will object. Not to mention, it is definitely a good solution to the current crisis, and the crowd will have to approve of it.

"My lord, it is not only the issue of religious belief that is causing the current dilemma, but also the Chinese. They provided these rebels with weapons and armor, trained them to fight, and even directly sent troops to fight, which boosted the arrogance of the rebels. Another person immediately took over and said, "We should send a large army to the border to intercept the aid of the Chinese." ”

The reason why there is the current chaos in the homeland of Persia is that the Tang Dynasty is behind it. Supporting the resistance of the people of the Persian homeland, disturbing the Persian homeland, and making the Persian homeland unable to stabilize the Tang Dynasty, Chen Xuanli naturally wanted to support the resistance of the people in the Persian homeland.

There are many ways to support. It's not just about supplying weapons. They also trained the people who resisted. Let them be real warriors. If necessary, the Don army could directly enter the territory of the Arab Empire and fight against it.

Of course, this kind of operation was small-scale, one was to provide support to the people of the Persian homeland, the second was to find out the situation of the Arab Empire, and the third was to train the army.

Sooner or later, there will be a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire, and it is necessary to train the army in advance.

And so it goes. Therefore, there is the shadow of the Tang Dynasty everywhere in the hometown, and it will not be possible to add chaos to chaos.

"It's also a law." Yusuf nodded in agreement.

Sending troops on the border to prevent the Tang Dynasty from supporting the people of the Persian homeland has been done for a long time, but with little success. This was because the people of the Persian homeland were too familiar with the borders, and it was too easy to hide from the armies of the Arab Empire. No matter how many troops Yusuf sent, it just didn't have much effect.

However, I had to do it, and I had to do it.

"My lord, the reason why Khorasan is so chaotic. This is the result of the instigation of the Nirvana, and a way should be found to deal with the Nirvana. "Someone offered to deal with Nirvana.

"Nirvana?" Yusuf's eyes were about to burst into flames.

When it comes to Nirvana. He just hated it so much that he couldn't wait to tear it up and eat it.

As a Persian prince, Nineshi's influence on the Persian homeland can be imagined. Previously, the Tang Dynasty had not yet made a move against the Arab Empire, and as a prince, he had a strong appeal. Now, the Tang Dynasty is about to take action against the Arab Empire, and Li Longji has allocated a lot of money to the Ninishi Division, and the Ninishi can expand its influence.

When the Persian people received the news of Nirvana, they were all overjoyed and overjoyed, and they supported him one after another.

In this way, the Persian homeland is in chaos and chaos.

"My lord, we can spread rumors and weaken the influence of the Nirvana Master." This man was busy with his work.

"Hmm. It's also a law. Yusuf nodded: "You can send more people to spread rumors, and you must weaken the influence of the Nirvana Master." ”

In order to deal with the Nirvana Master, Yusuf has thought of many methods, and rumors and other things are naturally used the most, but they have little effect. No matter how much he spreads rumors, because the Nirvana Master has a lot of power in his hands, he can always clarify. Moreover, it will in turn discredit the Arab Empire.

At one time, in order to get rid of the Nirvana, Yusuf sent assassins to Luoyang, wanting to assassinate the Ninishi, but Li Longji sabotaged it.

"You all have a point, but how to deal with the Chinese, do you have a way?" Gu Taibai took over and said.

In the end, this qiē can be attributed to the Tang Dynasty. Without the support of the Tang Dynasty, the Persian homeland would not have been so chaotic.

After Yusuf's bloody suppression, the Persian homeland was about to be pacified. However, because the Tang Dynasty entered the Western Regions in a big way and was about to make a move against the Arab Empire, as soon as the news came out, the originally calm Persian homeland was in chaos again.

Neither the use of taxes to allow the Persian people to retain their faith nor the use of the Nirvana was as important as the Tang Dynasty.

"You are also kind to say that if you had not lost the battle and let the Chinese enter the Western Regions in a big way, there would have been no such things." The generals accused Gu Taibai in unison.

The battle in Kabul had a great impact, and the direct consequence of Gu Taibai's defeat was that the Tang Dynasty entered the Western Regions in a big way, which made the Tang Dynasty's power in the Western Regions increase dramatically.

This is the chaotic situation now, and of course the generals will attribute this sin to Gu Taibai.

"I admit that I was defeated, and I was a little underestimated. However, even if I attach importance to it, with the strength in my hands, if I have to deal with 200,000 Chinese troops, I will definitely be defeated. "Gu Taibai is a responsible person, he has no responsibility.

"Don't talk about it again." Yousufu's face was solemn, and he said: "Although Gu Taibai was defeated, it was a contribution to let us know the details of China." Besides, he was punished. ”

From a strategic point of view, although Gu Taibai lost this battle, it was worth it. Because this allowed the Arab Empire to know the details of the Tang Dynasty, it could make some deployments against the Tang Dynasty.

"My lord, I just received the news that China's generals in the Western Regions have set off for Chang'an." At this moment, a cronie walked in quickly, with a solemn face, and reported to Yusufu.

"The Chinese have done it!" Yusuf's eyes flashed, and he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. (To be continued......)
