Since ancient times, two-front warfare is a taboo for soldiers, and no soldier can not understand that two-front warfare is a serious challenge for the country, from ancient times to the present, there are few examples of final victory in two-front battles, or in the war of the Qin State to destroy the Six Kingdoms, there have been examples of wars against two countries at the same time, that is also on the basis of destroying the main forces of the Six Nations in several previous battles, the powerful Great Qin Empire dared to fight on two fronts.

Cao Wei also fought on two fronts, and did not let Shu Han and Sun Wu succeed once, but this is in the case of too big a difference in strength between the three aspects, under the premise of equal strength, such a two-front battle can only be a disaster, and even under the premise of its own internal and external troubles, such a battle can only accelerate its demise, such a battle can only accelerate the demise, such as the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was divided into two ways to fight against the Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng, which way was unsuccessful, so the Ming Dynasty perished, for the two-front battle This kind of thing, before the grassland annihilation war, the Tang Dynasty was also unimaginable.

Although after the victory in the grassland annihilation war and the Liaodong counterattack, Datang already had the foundation and experience of fighting on two fronts at the same time, but this time the situation was different, this time the two-front battle, one was on the surface, and the other was secretly.

On the surface, it is actually very easy to understand that a large-scale uprising broke out in Persia, as expected by Suning, because of Isam's jealousy and hatred, the Persian nobles suffered huge losses of interests, and even the military suffered a loss of interests from different Cheng Dù, Issam offended the Persian upper echelons of officials and officers, but he was not prepared to stop at all. As a result, after cleaning up the civilian officials, Issam immediately attacked the generals. It caught everyone off guard, and a large number of people died.

The little emperor was extremely dissatisfied with this, and after Issam became the chief adviser of the advisory group, he disregarded the emperor's dignity and prestige at all, and took advantage of the emperor's trust and gratitude to him to exclude dissidents on a large scale. He attacked his former political enemies and those who had attacked him, combined a group of military officers and civilian officials as helpers, deposed many civilian officials, and killed 178 heinous civil officials and other members of the advisory group in one fell swoop on the grounds of corruption and dereliction of duty, seemingly completely indifferent to the consequences and direct impact.

If this was not enough for the Petty Emperor to deal with him completely, then Issam decided to make peace with the complete abolition of excesses and the attempted truce with the Roman Empire. Then the decision to cede a part of the territory completely detonated the little emperor's anger at Isam, he did this for only a month, the little emperor felt that his money was not enough, the income and living standards of the court plummeted, the little emperor originally wanted to entrust the government affairs to Isam, and then he could have a good rest, as a result, Issam directly intervened in the emperor's life. actually canceled an activity to choose a concubine, which made the little emperor dissatisfied.

Three months later. The civil and military generals in the court, large and small, all wrote to the little emperor, saying that if they did not abolish the position of Issam, the chief adviser, then they would resign en masse to show their protest and anger. He killed so many civil and military generals, which made the little emperor feel extremely uneasy, and the denunciation of Issam by various forces made the little emperor finally decide to come forward and personally question Issam what he planned to do.

The result of the meeting was that the little emperor finally couldn't hold back his anger and ignored his old friendship. It is said that Issam said a lot of things about the fall of the Persian Empire, saying that if he does not do what he says, then the fall of Persia will be in the mundane, and he is making a final effort to save the Persian country, why does the emperor not understand? If those traitors want to resign, let them resign, and then kill them all and replace them with a group of honest officials, so that Persia can be saved!

The little emperor was furious, and personally ordered Issam to be dismissed, and then put on death row, it is said that Issam was put on death row when he just laughed, and then cried, people who don't know think he is crazy, but after that, the corrupt officials feel much safer, the corrupt continue to be corrupt, and the good continue to oppress the good, and there is no bad feeling at all.

There is only one kind of person who feels that is not good - the goodness of being oppressed.

In the four months that Issam presided over the government, they felt the most hopeful, and it was also the only four months in the past ten years when they could take a breath, Issam abolished the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, cleaned up corrupt officials on a large scale, cut off one head after another, killed one corrupt official after another, and the people of Persia finally felt that there was a person who was fighting for them, working hard for their good life and future, they felt very moved, very happy, and many families regarded Issam as their savior, and prayed for him in various ways.

Issam widely practiced benevolent government, promoted suppressed honest officials and representatives of the reformists to preside over government and military affairs, gathered a group of his own manpower, comprehensively put things in order, and comprehensively rehabilitated those unjust, false and wrongful cases caused by the chaotic period of more than ten years, seized the time to deal with one thing after another, uninterrupted reforms, abolished tyranny, punished local tyrants, etc., and raced against time, Issam himself also set a record of not sleeping for three days and three nights.

Because Issam himself knows that what he has done is just a last effort, it is very likely that he will soon be dismissed and imprisoned by the little emperor, and those guys will not allow themselves to live well, those good partners and good friends risk their lives to help themselves, their safety is also a problem, they do their last effort for Persia, if they can succeed, they must resist the invasion of the Tang army, if they do not succeed, then ...... Just be a spy, there is no hope for yourself, in order to save the lives of those good partners, the only way to surrender to Datang is to go.

This is the only way to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty, and so far, the only last effort has failed, and the last attempt to save Persia has also failed, there is no way, Persia is about to die, and he ......

That's why he laughs and cries, but the victors don't be surprised by this, they just laugh. They will feel very happy that they have finally abolished the most terrible enemy, this enemy has killed many of them, has been a thorn in their side, these people have wanted to attack themselves for a long time, and Issam knows that as long as he loses his position. The lives of those good brothers are also difficult to guarantee.

Really, it was completely expected by that terrible Tang man, there was no mistake at all, no mistake at all, it was exactly like this, not bad at all...... How sad is it......

The reaction of the people to Isam's dismissal was very violent, and they saw with their own eyes that the officials who had stood up for them were arrested one by one, dismissed from their posts, and the tyranny and exorbitant taxes that Issam had abolished were reinstated. High taxes and harsh military conscription reappeared, corrupt officials returned, and the once clear world became muddy again, with the reformers swept away and the conservatives regaining the upper hand in just four months.

In this way, Issam, the leader of the reformist enlightened, lost all power and personal freedom, and was put on death row, ready to be beheaded at any moment. The world has once again returned to the era of demons dancing, and the anger of the Persians is piling up little by little. Finally, seven days later, after the announcement of the date on which more than 170 officials of Issam and the reformists were to be beheaded, the sentiment was ignited.

"Boom" exploded.

In Isam's hometown, the first rebel army rose up under the banner of "Fight to the prison." Rescue Isam", a group of more than 1,000 "Issam soldiers" was raised, which broke through the local government in one fell swoop, killed officials and part of the garrison, and seized weapons. released all the captured strong men, incorporated them into the rebel army, and killed them in the direction of the imperial capital.

I don't know how many people responded along the way, and then in the north, south, west, east, and all directions of the empire, hundreds of rebel armies of different organizations of all sizes appeared, with only one goal, to kill the imperial city, rescue Issam, punish corrupt officials, let Issam reorganize the dynasty, and return them to a blue sky and a white life.

The little Persian emperor and officials finally panicked, in the face of the number of millions of mighty rebel army, they categorically did not expect that those Persian civilians who were very good at bullying and had been swallowing their anger actually rose up to resist, and quickly captured a large number of towns and regions, less than ten days, a province in the east declared the loss of the whole line, the reason for the loss is very simple, every time the rebel army arrived, the local people came to help, beat away the defenders, opened the city gates, the rebel army quickly captured the city, opened the warehouse to release grain, killed the army of corrupt officials and accomplices, etc., As a result, the army grew again and again, and finally became a problem for the Persian government.

They never expected that because of one Isam, the administrative collapse of the entire country would be ruined, their rule would be in jeopardy, the people who used to be docile as sheep and easy to bully would collectively become lions and tigers, the mansions of the powerful and powerful people everywhere and those officials were all destroyed, all the family members, men, women, and children were killed, all the money they got was divided equally, and the rest was used to reorganize the armaments, these people did not seem to be simple mobs.

They will also carry out psychological offensive against the army, especially the infantry, the infantry who are born in civilian oppression, they are easily persuaded by them and join the rebel army, a small number of cavalry can not deal with the angry rebel army at all, dozens of troops hurriedly sent out to quell the chaos were completely annihilated, the little emperor fell from his seat in fright, fainted, and the court was in chaos, and everyone re-enacted the scene of the invasion of the Tang army, this time, they were really ready to escape, and they didn't think about going to Isam to replace the dead ghost again...... If Issam comes out, then he will have it.

The little emperor has no master, and is planning to release Isam again, the big deal is to say something good to accompany him, let him clean up the mess, but a group of officials who did not leave gathered around the little emperor and gossiped, analyzing what the reason why the rebel army is like this is because they all want to save Isam, we just need to threaten them with Issam, saying that as long as they dare to move forward again, they will kill Isam, and in doing so, we can definitely stop the advance of the rebel army and buy time for us to prepare for confrontation.

The little emperor was so frightened that he couldn't do anything about it, and when he heard them say this, he did it, and he also felt that since he had torn his face with Issam, even if he released it again, what if Issam raised his arms and overthrew himself? So he ordered someone to take Isam out of death row, sent his own soldiers to guard it, and prepared to threaten the rebels with Issam, not allowing them to approach the imperial capital again, and finally use Issam, and wait for the strongest border guards to rush back, and then kill Issam, and never suffer in the future.

Issam finally gave up on the little emperor, looking at the distorted face of the little emperor, all the past was shattered, he shed the last tears, and then strengthened his confidence, laughed and responded to the little emperor's reprimand, the little emperor was made up and down by Issam's attitude, but he still planned to use Issam to buy time for himself.

But the little emperor didn't know that this clever move had accelerated his doomsday, because they had completely forgotten that the Tang Dynasty had designated Issam as the sole representative of the exchanges between the two sides, and no one recognized this issue of principle except Issam......
