Even Wang Xuance himself did not know what was happening, but he successfully made the first contribution of the Persian annihilation war - the capture of the Persian emperor and generals.

Maybe he didn't know what benefits he had brought to him from the decision he made in desperation, and he also began to believe that the credit may not only depend on himself, but maybe someone will take the initiative to send the credit to himself, although he doesn't know what Du He's idea is to do this, but since there is merit, then take it, it's better than nothing, isn't it?

On May 10 of the second year of Chenghe, the emperor and the general of the Persian Empire were captured by Wang Xuance, the general of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, and then the imperial city was breached, the palace was occupied, and all important items were obtained by the Tang Dynasty Anxi Protector and the general of the Anxi marching army, after Wang Xuance presented the crown prince and general of the Persian Emperor who was captured alive, the Persian Emperor cried and said that he was willing to surrender, signed his name on the surrender credentials, stamped the seal, regardless of the general's death and pleading, in order to live, the Persian Emperor surrendered, The 400-year-old Sassanid Empire came to an end.

According to the previous oath, Du He made a screening of more than 50,000 Persian troops who surrendered, of which 38,000 were beheaded, and the loyal old general who had been protecting the little emperor was also ordered by Du He to order Ling Chi according to his promise, and then asked the little emperor to watch the progress of Ling Chi's criminal law with his own eyes, not to close his eyes for three days and three nights, not to sleep, and to read it with his own eyes, even the Ling Chi criminal officer also spent a lot of effort to transfer from the country, and the method was sophisticated, ensuring that the person was still alive after the 36,000 knife cuts......

Du He didn't know why he did such a cruel thing, but he always felt that he had to breathe a sigh of relief for the hundreds of thousands of people who died unjustly, and the unjust souls in the dozens of mass graves outside the city should be more willing to see this scene. Then he erected a stone tablet and burned incense and prayed to the souls of those who had died unjustly, and may they rest in peace.

Respect for the soul is also one of the conventions of the ancients, for the current Datang military cadets and the Datang regular army. The importance of life is more important, since the days of the military academy, Suning deliberately arranged the content of the importance of human life in the military school textbooks, the narrator is raised by his father, no one is more noble than the other, the officials have the same organs as civilians, the rich have the organs of the poor, but it is the identity gap between people caused by the problem of origin.

After years of subtlety, the cadets of the military academy basically uphold the respect for life, especially human life. Especially in the era of population shortage in the Tang Dynasty, Li Erma repeatedly emphasized the importance of human life, and with the propaganda of the military academy, the army that pays the most attention to human life was born, human life is important, second only to honor, and it is not about the honor of soldiers, so we must put human life first.

After a large number of cadets entered the army. The standing regular army has become a veritable student army, which means that the officers are all graduates of military academies. The suzhì of the entire army has been greatly improved, not only in terms of military discipline and combat effectiveness, but also in the changes in the army, which attaches more importance to human life.

This may not have been paid attention to by the armies of all dynasties, but it marks whether an army has an important indicator of whether it has a national army in the true sense.

An army that does not value human life can only be counted as a beast army, not a real army.

The Persian army was largely wiped out. The last two provinces finally gave up resistance and surrendered after the Tang army carried the Persian emperor's surrender edict, and the Persian homeland was fully occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and Persia as a state ceased to exist, and what remained after that was only the Persian Special Administrative Region representing the Persian land. As with the Arab Special Administrative Region, it is only a transitional existence.

After the Tang Emperor Li Chengqian learned of this, he issued an edict and expressed deep regret that the two countries were friends in distress, but they have come to this point, which is not what I want to see, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, the Persian emperor and the government are very incompetent, and cannot guarantee the operation of the government and the safety of the people, so that a large number of Persian people fled to the Tang Dynasty, so His Majesty Li Chengqian decided to follow the example of Arabia and set up a Persian Special Region, with Issam, the chief adviser of the former Persian advisory group who was previously under house arrest, as the governor of Persia. The general manager is in charge of the daily government affairs of Persia, and the security of Persia is temporarily responsible for the Tang army, and after the security of Persia improves, it will be handed over to the Persian security army.

Issam, who was released from death row by the Tang army, accepted the appointment of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and after a brief inspection of the scarred imperial city and the people of the same scarred imperial city, Issam swore to become the first governor of the Persian Special District, holding the same rights as the Arab governor Senasi, and began to take charge of all the post-war reconstruction tasks and restoration tasks in the Persian region, calling the displaced people to return to their hometowns to settle down, distributing land, distributing seeds, distributing cattle, and developing agriculture according to local conditions. You don't have to pay taxes for the first two years, etc.

The dying Persians who were tossed by the war finally got a chance to rest, a chance to really rest, and those Persians in the holy city who had lived and worked in peace and contentment also returned to their hometown with money and food to find the remaining relatives, but they said that their hometown brought them a lot of painful memories, they didn't want to go back, they just wanted to settle in the holy city in the Tang Dynasty, there was no other idea, they were already the people of the Tang Dynasty, they are, they will be, and they will always be.

Unlike the Arabs, the Persians have a deep affection for the Tang Dynasty, especially the residents of the seven or eight provinces on the eastern border, and they even jointly requested that they be directly incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, unwilling to continue to live as Persians, this country and the code name bring them only endless fear and shame, they do not want to be called Persians by others in the future, but hope to be called Tang people, and even their descendants will be standard Tang people, speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters!

The Tang Emperor Li Chengqian did not agree to this request, but continued to order the formation of the Persian Special Administrative Region, as well as the inauguration of the Persian Governor Issam, and the distribution of power. To name a few, although these areas have been destroyed too much, if they are directly incorporated into the rule of the Tang Dynasty, it will be very troublesome and consume too much of his energy.

What's more, Li Chengqian didn't have so much energy to take care of Persia here, because there were some things that happened next, except for his own troubles. The Romans began to make trouble again, the old general Toyev brought out the main force of the border guards, then the Roman army easily defeated the main army of Persia, attacked all the way to the east, and directly collided with the western rebel army all over the western provinces of Persia. A large part of the reason why the Persians were so miserable was the continuous war with the Romans, and the Persians hated the Romans no less than they hated the Persian government, so they ......

After the main force of the Western Rebellion was completely destroyed, the Romans almost defeated the remaining Western Rebellion and occupied several provinces, and then when they planned to attack further, the rebel forces of the Western provinces joined forces to desperately resist it. The Roman border guards were in a hurry and ill-prepared. After being attacked in the granary, there was a shortage of food and grass, and they were defeated four times in a row, retreating a lot, and the two armies entered a state of confrontation.

Further south, the Romans, as co-owners of the Arab Quarter, had long been dissatisfied with the equal division of taxes. However, due to the bad face of the Tang Dynasty, this time the Persians themselves died, the Romans did not declare war, and the news also reached the Roman garrison in the Arab District, and the commander of the Roman garrison attacked the Persian army with 30,000 garrisons. annihilated all the 30,000 garrisons of Persia, fought a great victory, and then divided the troops into two routes, all the way to attack the Tang Dynasty army, and all the way to the Arab Special Region.

The Romans planned to occupy the territory of Persia, integrate the power of Persia and the decisive battle of the Tang Dynasty, and now they want to completely eat the 10,000 garrisons set up here by the Tang Dynasty, pull out this nail, and use 20,000 troops to deal with the Tang army, leaving 10,000 to raid the Arab Special Region, but they never thought that just an hour ago, the Flying Eagle passed the book to the hands of Ye Feng, the commander of the army stationed in the Tang Arab Special Region, and informed Ye Feng that the Romans were very likely to launch a surprise attack. Immediately led the army to prepare for the response, and just after the preparations, the surprise attack of the Roman army arrived.

The Romans obviously did not expect that the Tang army had prepared a surprise attack and was not able to be raided, and the 20,000 troops were defeated, more than 6,000 people were killed, most of them were captured or escaped, and the 10,000 troops attacking the Arab Special Region were also stubbornly resisted by the 10,000 security forces led by Senassi, and were forced to stay outside the fortress of the Arab District.

Du He soon learned that the Romans were organizing a large army to prepare to take advantage of the Persian civil strife to make a profit, but the Roman emperor certainly did not know that the Tang Dynasty had defeated Persia, and Persia had announced its surrender, this news had not yet been known to the Romans. Prepare to take over the Arab District in its entirety.

Just finished the battle of Persia, in fact, it is not wise to start a war with the Romans immediately, but Duhe has no choice, if he does not start a war at this time, he will watch many rich Persian provinces in the east that have not been destroyed by the Romans to occupy them, which will be transformed into Rome's war potential, which will have an adverse impact on the future decisive battle with Rome, which is absolutely not allowed by the Tang Dynasty.

On June 17 of the second year of Chenghe, the Anxi army led by Du He met the Roman legions that were crossing the river on the east bank of the Euphrates River, Du He attacked it by surprise, shook its military heart with artillery, destroyed its phalanx with iron cavalry, annihilated 30,000 Roman legions in a battle, and gave the Romans a head-on blow, on June 18, Wang Xuance led 50,000 Tang Arab coalition troops to defeat the Roman legions in the Arab Special Region, completely annihilated the Roman garrison, captured its main general, and fully controlled the Arab Special Region. It also announced the abolition of Persia and Rome's possession of the Arab Special Region and replaced it with direct protection by the Tang Dynasty.

After the Roman emperor lost tens of thousands of troops, he urgently stopped the army's attack and sent someone to ask the commander of the Tang Dynasty, Duhe, whether the Persian civil strife was over, and the Romans just came to help the Persians calm down the civil strife, but they fought with the Tang army for some reason, I really don't know what the reason is, and I hope that the Tang Dynasty will give an explanation.

Du He didn't say much nonsense, and directly showed the Persian emperor's edict of surrender, telling the Persian envoy that the Persian state had fallen, and now it was a Persian special administrative region under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, which was equivalent to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if Rome did not want to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, then it should immediately evacuate the territory of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, what happened, the Tang army was not responsible!

The Roman envoys were utterly shocked. (To be continued......)
