The Persian Empire was thus destroyed!

Although the Persian Empire was in fact fragmented before the Xia coalition attacked, the Xia mobilized so many troops to completely destroy the Persian Empire in just a few months, and relocated all the tens of millions of people in the Persian Empire, which greatly stimulated the Western countries dominated by the Roman Empire.

In particular, the Kingdom of Armenia, a vassal and ally of the Roman Empire, was most strongly stimulated.

To the south of the Kingdom of Armenia, the old Persian lands that had been occupied by the Xia Kingdom and divided to Zhu Ming and Cheng Biao, and to the north were the powerful Western Qin Kingdom, which had approached the Caucasus Mountains, so the Kingdom of Armenia desperately asked Heraclius the Great of Constantinople for assistance.

When the Xia Kingdom first began to attack the Persian Empire and Murek Khan, Heraclius did not pay much attention to it, because his main focus was still on the Avars, West Slavs, Khazars, and Bulgars in the middle and lower Danube.

The growing power of the Berbers and Vandals in North Africa also held back much of his energy, the Lombard kingdom in the northern Apennine Peninsula also eyed the rich Ravenna territory, and the Farak people in the Gallic provinces encroached on the territories of the Iberian Peninsula in the south.

What's more, Heraclius had always believed that the Persian Empire was a powerful empire that had competed with the Roman Empire for nearly a thousand years after all, and even if the Xia State was strong, it would inevitably have to pay a huge price under the labor expedition, not to mention that the Xia State also declared war on the rapidly rising Mureh Khan.

When the Xia coalition completely destroyed the Persian Empire in just a few months and defeated the rapidly rising Mureh Khan, Heraclius was finally surprised and couldn't sit still, even though the Roman Empire and the Xia Kingdom had signed a treaty of friendship and commerce, but he still did not dare to pin the safety of the eastern territories of the Roman Empire on a piece of paper.

Under these circumstances, the Roman Empire began to quickly withdraw as many troops as possible from the other weak lines of defense to strengthen the defenses of Asia Minor, Syria, Canaan, and Egypt, and to provide as much assistance as possible to its own ally, the Kingdom of Armenia.

Wang Ze paid no heed to the excessive nervousness of the Roman Empire, and after the fall of the Persian Empire, he traveled south from Qom to the Xia base in the Persian Gulf (later Qatar), where he met with the generals and envoys of all the princely states of the coalition.

Many vassal states in the Wei, He, and Tianzhu regions sent envoys, and even many vassal states on the west coast of Tianzhu and the east coast of Kunlun came here to meet Wang Ze in person, but most of Wang Ze's energy was still concentrated on Wei and the Persian Gulf.

After Wang Ze brought the doctor and the most brilliant doctor of Wei State, Wang Hui, who had been in a coma for many days, finally saved his life, but the sequelae of poisoning remained forever, and almost all of his left half of his body was unconscious, and he had to rely on a wheelchair to walk.

Under Wang Ze's persuasion, Wang Hui finally completely let go of everything, announced that all the power of the King of Wei would be handed over to his eldest son Wang Zheng and abdicated, and then followed Wang Ze back to the Xia Kingdom after many years of absence.

During his stay in the Persian Gulf, Wang Ze sorted out the affairs of the West, which not only further strengthened the emotional ties between the Xia State and the various vassal states, but also further enhanced the Xia State's military strength and economic control ability in the West.

The Persian Empire has become a thing of the past, and Murean Khan has fled to the desert and never seen again, and it is impossible to completely solve the threat of Mureh Khan in a short time, so he can only be besieged in the desert through the territories occupied by the major vassal states of Xia.

Although the Roman Empire began to show a wary attitude after the fall of the Persian Empire, the Xia State currently has to deal with the separatist forces within the Sui Empire on the one hand, and at the same time, the strength of the major Western vassal states has not yet formed an advantage over the Roman Empire, and the trade between the Xia Kingdom and the Roman Empire is also a large part of the financial revenue, so Wang Ze does not plan to turn his face with the Roman Empire so soon.

So when the time came to the spring of the following year, everything in the Persian Gulf was basically set in the tone, and he officially embarked on the road back.

On the return trip, I did not take the sea route to return to Xia through the South Seas, and I still took the land route when I came.

When he walked to the river, Wang Ze paused here for three or four months, after all, this place has been included in the territory of Xia for more than ten years, he patiently checked the development situation here, and also encouraged the people of Xia who had migrated thousands of miles to come here.

In three or four months, Wang Ze's footprints spread from west to east in many areas such as Wuhushui, Nami Shui, Yaozhishui, Shayechuan, and Yileshui, and then he led a large army along the Yileshui River Valley over the Tianshan Mountains to reach the Qiuzi region in the south.

Qiuzi is the administrative center of the Western Regions, and now the situation here is not much different from the Xia country itself, and when he walked to Gaochang through Yanqi in May, suddenly a shocking news came from the Persian Gulf, and Mulie Khan, who had been dormant in the desert for nearly a year, suddenly appeared.

This time, Mu Lie Khan's actions surprised Wang Ze extraordinarily.

In later generations, the coastal lands around the Arabian Desert have been completely occupied by the garrisons of the Xia State and the major vassal states, especially the Wei State on the Red Sea coast, which is extremely hostile to Mureh Khan, and is really staring at this blockade line to the death, and Mureh Khan cannot get any supplies from the vassal states at all.

After the armies of the major vassal states withdrew from the Persian Gulf one after another, Murean Khan led almost all of his 200,000 cavalry to suddenly kill out of the desert, not to the Hejaz region or the two river valleys, but to Syria, Canaan and other eastern Mediterranean territories in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.

Although Heraclius had successively withdrawn 120,000 troops to these places in order to prevent the Xia State from turning his face and denying people, with the withdrawal of the Xia army and the allied forces of the major vassal states, Heraclius had to gradually withdraw some of his troops under the threat of enemies from other directions.

This led to the weakening of the forces in the eastern territories again, and when Murean Khan led 200,000 completely religiously brainwashed cavalry to Syria, the Roman Empire had no idea that the Bedouins, who were once known for their 'dwarf poverty', would have such a strong strength.

Caught off guard, dozens of cities in Canaan and Syria were captured one after another.

Murek Khan's offensive was so rapid and ferocious that the Roman armies in Syria and Canaan were defeated in field battles one after another, and more cities that could still be defended fell one after another due to lack of troops.

The Roman Emperor Heraclius had to make peace with the Bolgars in the lower Danube, trading residency in Mercia for the Bolgars to assist the Roman Empire in dealing with the Avars and Slavs, and finally sent a part of his army to save Syria and Canaanite from the devastation.

However, Mureg Khan's speed was so fast, even if the Roman Empire had already reacted quickly, but by the time Heraclius' first reinforcement army reached Samaria (the ancient Lebanese coastal city), not only had most of Syria been captured by Mureg Khan, but even Jerusalem had already fallen.

If it weren't for the quick reaction of the Egyptian army led by Heraclius's eldest son Nestas and the establishment of a defensive line in the Gaza (Gaza) area to block Murea Khan's offensive, I am afraid that even the entire lower Nile River, including Cairo, would have been completely captured by Mureh Khan.

Even though Murekhan was blocked in Gaza, Murekhan still captured the entire eastern coast of the Mediterranean in a short period of time, and this land was rich and vast, and for thousands of years it was densely populated.

When Murehan had just rushed out of the desert, Wei Guo, Zhu Ming, and Cheng Biao were very startled, but they were a little relieved after seeing that Murekha's main target was the Roman Empire.

But what they didn't expect was that the strength of the Roman Empire was so bad, Murean Khan actually swept the entire eastern part of the Roman Empire in a short period of time, and they originally had the intention to unite with the Roman Empire to flank Murekha, but the Roman Empire was afraid of falling behind the Persian Empire's example, so they actually rejected their proposal to send troops.

Seeing that their support for the Roman Empire was hot and cold, Zhu Ming and Cheng Biao were even more desperate to support the Roman Empire, but Wang Zheng did not forget his father's great enmity, so he launched an army deep into the desert to clear the remaining Bedouins, which not only failed to make Mureen Khan turn back, but stimulated all the Bedouins in the desert to run to Syria to defect to Mureh Khan.

Seeing this, Wang Ze couldn't help frowning, after all, Mu Lie Khan's religious brainwashing is very powerful, once a little negligence is a great disaster, he already has the idea of returning to the army to continue to attack Mu Lie Khan, but at this time, the situation in the Central Plains has changed, so Wang Ze has to hurry back to the Xia Kingdom.

It turned out that not long after the beginning of spring of this year, Li Yuan, who had already proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an City in Guanzhong, suddenly sent his second son Li Shimin to lead an elite army of 50,000 to attack Tongguan, which was very important both inside and outside Guanzhong, and killed Wang Shichong's generals guarding Tongguan and thousands of people below.

After capturing Tongguan, if the Tang army made persistent efforts to advance eastward, and then captured Hongnong County and Hangu Pass not far away, it would be the very rich eastern capital Luoyang, and the Tang army's offensive surprised Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and urgently strengthened the defense of Hongnong County and Hangu Pass.

However, Li Yuan's next move surprised everyone.

After seizing Tongguan and stabilizing his flank, Li Yuan mobilized more than 300,000 troops to launch a full-scale attack on Li Liang's troops north of Guanzhong, and successively captured Beidi County and Shangjun, basically isolating the counties occupied by Li Liang's troops into two parts, east and west.

However, because the army of Li Rail's department was dominated by the border army before, the combat effectiveness was not weak, and there was the support of the Xia State behind it, and the soldiers under his command had all kinds of grudges with the Li Tang regime, so Li Yuan also suffered a lot of losses when attacking Li Rail's department, and the two sides formed a confrontation situation after seizing Shangjun and Beidi County.

With Li Yuan's series of actions, the war situation in the entire Central Plains formed a chain reaction, and the separatist forces that had been slightly stopped were once again fully launched, the big forces annexed the small forces, and the separatist princes decreased rapidly, and there was already a trend of unifying the Central Plains.
