Today, it has been twenty or thirty years since the establishment of the Western vassal states, and the Xia State has formed a very closely related political and economic circle with the Western vassal states.

Although the trade between the Western vassal states and the Xia Kingdom was nearly twice that of the trade between the Xia Kingdom and the Roman Empire, the Xia Kingdom and the major vassal states on the east coast of Kunlun still attached importance to this trade route with the Roman Empire.

Originally, everyone was still a little hesitant about the Persian Empire's invasion of Egypt, and they didn't know whether to intervene in the war between the two empires, after all, although the Persian Empire had been beaten by the Xia State several times before, the Persian Empire was a large country with a large population after all.

Moreover, the Persian Empire, which has always been rich and prosperous, is also one of the more important trading partners of the Xia State and the major vassal states, and everyone is not willing to go to war easily when it is not very necessary.

However, everyone's good intentions of the Persian Empire did not take it seriously, and the Persians, who took advantage of the civil war of the Roman Empire to seize the eastern provinces of Rome, Syria, and Egypt, actually thought that they were capable of confronting the Xia State again, and suddenly decided to impose high taxes on the caravans of the Xia Kingdom and its vassal states.

War! War!

When the news came back that the Xia caravan had been robbed of its property and driven out because of its refusal to the Persians' rude demands, the people of Xia and the major vassal states were furious, and they wanted to use a war to sober up the Persians and let the Persians know their true position in the world pattern.

Xia first decided to refuse to support Phorcas, a tyrannical usurper who could not allow the Roman Empire to be maintained was not eligible for the support of the Xia state, and the Xia state needed a state that could maintain the unity of the Roman Empire and compete with the Persian Empire.

Soon Heraclius, the Roman governor of North Africa, came into Wang Ze's sight, and it became the decision of the Xia State to support him in unifying Rome against the Persian Emperor Culus II.

At the same time as this decision was reached, Wang Hui, the king of Wei who founded the country on both sides of the Red Sea, under Wang Ze's order, quickly mobilized 100,000 troops to station troops in the Sabya region of Yemen, ready to attack Egypt at any time.

In addition, Wei was also a powerful navy in the Red Sea, and it united with the Fourth Fleet of Xia stationed on the Falklands to approach the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt and the Persian Gulf respectively, making preparations for a full-scale war against the Persians.

The Western Qin king Rui in the north of the Persian Empire also mobilized a large army from the Caucasus to approach Azerbaijan, and united with the Armenian army at the southern foot of the Caucasus to move south, seriously threatening the Persian province of Tabriz.

More than 100,000 Xia cavalry in the middle of the river area approached Ashgabat again, making the appearance of attacking Khorasan in the south again, almost scaring the tens of thousands of Persian garrisons in Khorasan.

The Persians of Khorasan still clearly remember how the murderous and tyrannical Xia army turned a rich Khorasan into a white land, and until now this once prosperous land has not been able to recover from the ruins.

The fierce reaction of the Xia State and the major vassal states made the Persian Emperor Kusru II startled, he just wanted to get some from the Xia people because of the military consumption was too large, but he did not expect to provoke the threat of so many large armies in the east, west, north and south.

The rest of the army was just that, and the most threatening thing for Kusru II was the tens of thousands of Xia troops stationed in the Persian Gulf, if these Xia troops suddenly launched an attack on the hinterland of the Persian Empire, then even if the Persian army could stop this Xia army, it would have to pay a lot of price.

Fortunately, the Xia State is still mainly a deterrent to the Persians, after all, if the Persian Empire is destroyed by itself, then the Roman Empire will lose its containment, and a strong Roman Empire is not in the interests of the Xia State and the major vassal states.

However, there were people everywhere, and at the same time that both sides were putting on their own postures, Wang Hui gathered an army in Yemen's Sabyya near the Hejaz region and was suddenly attacked by a cavalry on camels, although the Wei army only suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but it was a great shame for Wang Hui.

At first, it was assumed that these attackers were Bedouin mercenaries hired by the Persians, after all, when the Persians fought against the Roman Empire for hundreds of years, a large number of Bedouins participated in the wars between the two sides almost every time.

However, after some careful investigation, everyone was surprised to find that these Bedouins were not hired by the Persians, and then it was discovered that the troublemakers were actually an army of Bedouins in the Hejaz region.

The Hejaz region is the land of later Saudi Arabia near the Red Sea coast, at this time the Bedouins in the Hejaz region have not yet been unified, and each has established a city-state with different beliefs, such as Christianity, Christianity, and even a large number of primitive religions.

In the past, the Bedouins were never looked at by all parties because they were a mass of scattered sand, but at this time, the Wei army was suddenly attacked by these Bedouins, so Wang Hui, who was furious, did not think about it and immediately ordered to attack the Hejaz city closest to Saibuya.

Although the city established by the Bedouins was not large, the fighting spirit of the Bedouins was still very strong, so the Wei army, after encountering stubborn resistance, killed all the Bedouins who resisted in this small city, and the rest were all reduced to the lowest slaves.

Wang Hui never thought that his move would stab the hornet's nest, and things would become more and more out of control from now on.

Originally, the Bedouins in the Hejaz region relied on the overland trade routes from Yemen to Egypt, and cities such as Medina and Mecca were city-states that developed along this trade route, so the Bedouins here were already rich among the Bedouins, although they were still poor compared to other countries.

Later, in order to attack the economy of the Roman Empire, the Persian Empire sent troops to defeat the Aksumes, occupied Yemen, and completely blocked this important trade route.

After the Xia defeated the Persian Empire and reopened Yemen, the Bedouins in the Hejaz region happily thought that their good days were coming back, but they found that their lives were still not better for decades.

Because of the powerful maritime power of the caravans of the Xia Kingdom and the major vassal states, the camel caravans of the Bedouins who relied on camels to transport supplies were not competitive at all, and the land transportation undertaken by camels was certainly not as cheap as the transportation of huge sea ships.

When Wang Hui began to venture along the Red Sea coast and opened an overland trade route on the west coast of the Red Sea, the camel caravans in the Hejaz region on the eastern shore of the Red Sea went bankrupt, which led to a further economic decline in the Hejaz region, and the Bedouins here began to hate the Han people because of the increasingly difficult life.

Originally, the Bedouins in the Hejaz region had a breath in their hearts, but they had to endure it because they were afraid of the strong strength of the Wei State, and then Wang Hui suddenly destroyed a Hejaz city for no reason, and killed many people, and the rest became slaves, so the Bedouins couldn't bear it anymore.

Just as Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, a rebel leader named Murek Khan suddenly appeared among the Bedouins.

This middle-aged man in his thirties came from a family of camel riding merchants, and while the camel caravans were bankrupt in large numbers, they also had a hard time surviving on camel riding equipment, so he had been thinking about how to change all this for several years.

After Wang Hui attacked a Hejaz city, he quickly stepped forward and rallied all Bedouins to unite to defeat the Han Chinese who had expelled the Wei state.

At first, Wang Hui did not care about Murek Khan's actions, and it was not without other Bedouins who opposed him because of hatred and jealousy of the sea trade revenues of Xia and Wei, but they were completely defeated in the face of the powerful political, economic, and military power of Wei and Xia.

But he didn't expect that the Mureh Khan who got up now was different from others, he was not a stupid person who acted rashly, but established a new religion according to the religious teachings of Christianity, Judaism, and Futu in the Roman Empire, and implemented a kind of **** regime.

Only then did Wang Hui remember that it seemed that this Mureh Khan had been a missionary in Mecca the year before, but the people here were either his relatives, friends or acquaintances, so everyone was just watching the excitement, and was soon driven away by the Bedouin nobles in the city.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this guy actually rose rapidly in Medina, it seems that the Bedouins who attacked the Wei army were the subordinates of Murekhan, and after the religious brainwashing, the Bedouins' combat effectiveness increased rapidly.

Mur Khan is best at incitement, and Mur Khan's agitation has not been paid much attention to by the Bedouins before, but now Wang Hui Chen has 100,000 soldiers in Sai Buya and has attacked a Bedouin city in the Hejaz region, so the Bedouins here are panicking.

The Bedouin nobility of the various cities could ignore Murekhan, but Murekha's teachings had a great impact on the poorest of the commoners, and many fled to Medina to join Murekhan, and his army increased from less than 10,000 to 50,000 or 60,000 in a few months.

In fact, an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people is nothing to Wang Hui, after all, Wei is the largest vassal state of Xia in the Western Ocean, and there are already two or three million people, and there are more than 200,000 standing troops.

However, Murean Khan's army did not fight Wang Hui head-on, they took advantage of their very familiarity with the desert terrain, and constantly harassed the Wei army and even attacked the Han people of Wei, and the entire Yemen region was in chaos, if it were not for the fact that it was separated by the Red Sea, otherwise Mulie Khan's army would have shaken Wang Hui's territory in Kunlun.

Enraged, Wang Hui prepared to launch a larger attack, but by the time he reached Medina, the city was deserted and could not find the army of Murekhan, so Wang Hui set his eyes on other Bedouin cities such as Mecca, not far from the Red Sea coast.
