The Great Tang General

The Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty had already made plans. They infiltrated Persia with their belief in the Sky Khan and the myth of the Sky Khan.

The Heavenly Khan is not only a spirit, but also the food that keeps them well fed and warm.

In a short time, this wind blew towards Persia.

Compared to the Arabs who wore black, they wore red robes.

The Jinyiwei, who were very ruthless, began to use their skills to strangle the diehard members of the Arab Cult.

To prevent the Arabs from causing trouble at a critical moment.

The Persian Empire was simply unable to control this chaos.

Persian soldiers of the Persian Empire were also infiltrated by the Jinyiwei.

Some Persian soldiers waved the Xuanlong flag of the Tang Dynasty, ready to obey the call of the Heavenly Khan at any time.

Within a month, the people of Persia firmly believed that the Khan would arrive and distribute food to them.

In the future, they will be able to become as wealthy as the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Some Persians who believe in Zoroastrianism believe that the Khan is the reincarnation of Ahura Mazda.

Ahura Mazda is the God of Good and the Creator of the world.

They believed that in this situation, order could be restored and the world would no longer be dark.

On November 11, the entire territory of the Persian Empire was set on fire at night.

They no longer obeyed the orders of local officials and nobles.

They even took the initiative to resist the power of the aristocracy.

The exploited officers and soldiers had long been dissatisfied with the ruling class and joined the "red ocean" wearing red cloaks.

The flame represents the Heavenly Khan.

The flame represents hope.

The flame represents the Lord God coming to the world and creating the human world...

As for Romexun, who was in power, he realized it only too late.

Despite repeated reminders from Prime Minister Khalid ibn Barmak, Romeshun did not take it seriously and continued to indulge in debauchery and pleasure in his harem.

Behind him is the Tang Dynasty and the Heavenly Khan.

It was during the time when the Heavenly Khan was on his western expedition, and no one could touch him.

Moreover, Romexun mistakenly believed that the civil riots were just minor incidents.

At first, Khalid ibn Barmak was able to convey the vizier's orders to the local areas.

Gradually, his orders fell into oblivion.

As prime minister, he understood that the Persian Empire was probably out of control except for the area around Muruga.

The nobles were also very anxious, and discussed with Khalid ibn Barmak to ask for an audience with Romeshoon.

Wake up Romexun from her sweet dream.

His status as a king brought him wealth and honor.

Now Tian Khan is in Samakan City and is slow to advance, which makes Luo Mixun panic.

He was not panicked by the possible riot, but was afraid that everything he enjoyed would be like a dream.

"Prime Minister, what is going on?"

In the palace, fine wine and delicious food were scattered all over the floor, and the Persian king was venting his anger.

Seeing that the civil and military officials remained silent, Romesh pointed at Khalid ibn Barmak and questioned him.

"I don't know either..."

Khalid ibn Barmak answered reluctantly.

In fact, he sensed something fishy from the responses from previous places.

But Khalid ibn Barmak was very intelligent and eloquent.

There is an old Persian saying: Don't let your tongue cut off your head.

The current Persia is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and is controlled by the Tang Dynasty in every way.

It seemed as if overnight, the Persian people believed in the Heavenly Khan and clamored to hang Romeshhun.

Khalid ibn Barmak was the best at speculation. He was cautious in his words and actions and left himself a way out.

"Can you still do your job as prime minister?"

Luo Mixun became even more furious when he found out that the prime minister knew nothing about anything.

It was thanks to him that he trusted Khalid ibn Barmak so much that he entrusted all political affairs to him.

"My king, it may be the work of the Arabs... The men in black have revived."

Khalid ibn Barmak quickly changed his words and put the blame on the Arab leader.

Khalid ibn Barmak was a traitor, so he was very afraid of the Arabs and hated Arab religion even more.

However, the country was difficult to govern, and the Arab religion was impossible to eradicate. Local people secretly believed in it and provided cover for the Arabs.

"Damn the Arabs! Didn't the Tang Dynasty plan to invade the Arabs? Why hasn't the Heavenly Khan arrived yet? Do we have to wait until spring?"

Luo Mixun believed it to be true. When he heard that it was the Arabs who were causing trouble, he spoke angrily.

"The Tang Dynasty may still be preparing food..."

Khalid ibn Barmak replied.

I heard that a large amount of food is delivered to the east of Mulu City almost every day.

In addition, Tang troops entered Hera City, Sistan region, etc. to store supplies.

The Persian Kingdom was a vassal of the Tang Dynasty and they had no right to know what the Tang Dynasty was going to do.

"We are contributing food to the Tang Dynasty, why don't you accept it? Why do you have to transport food and grass thousands of miles away?"

Romyxun was puzzled.

He offered food and fodder to the Tang army to maintain his own rule.

He gathered the grain back into his own storehouse for his own enjoyment.

Never thought about the common people.

"First, order the army to suppress the rioters, and immediately let the Tang army support us!"

Seeing that the ministers were silent again, Luo Mixun said as a matter of course.

"Most of the troops are stationed at the border to guard against the Arabs. I will contact the troops as much as possible to suppress the rioters and open up the roads. I will also immediately ask for help from the Khan of Heaven."

Khalid ibn Barmak replied to Romethun.

Now it is not just a matter of public resentment.

The mob seemed to be organized and premeditated. They were gathered together and many roads were blocked.

"Why don't you go now..."

Seeing that Khalid ibn Barmak and other ministers were still standing there in a daze, Romeshun kicked them out of the hall.

Khalid ibn Barmak hastily withdrew.

After returning to his mansion, he thought about it and decided to send the letter for help to Samakan City as quickly as possible.

In addition, Khalid ibn Barmak sent a letter to Li Sheng in the warehouse area east of Murug City, explaining the current situation of the Persian Kingdom and expressing his admiration for the Heavenly Khan.

This letter was written entirely in Chinese characters, and at the end it used the allusion of "tying a grass knot and holding a ring in the mouth" to express the memory of the Khan's kindness.

Li Xuan has been in control of the situation in the Persian Kingdom.

Liao Zhengrong put at least three letters on Li Xuan's desk every day.

"Three days later, we will set out for Mulu City..."

After reading Khalid ibn Barmak's letter for help, Li Xuan just said this.

It means getting ready to take action.

He issued orders to Li Guangbi, Ma Lin, Li Siye and Li Sheng.

Li Guangbi and Pei Ying led the imperial guards and went to Mulu City together.

It turned out that Li Sheng, who was in the east of Mulu City, found a reason to enter Mulu City and control the king of Persia and the princes and nobles.

The Persian Empire is now in chaos and needs the Khan to give a call.

The only way to calm public anger is to abolish the king.

The only way to warm the hearts of the people is to open the national treasury and the private storehouses of the nobles, distribute the grain to the common people, and eliminate the lowly and make the good.

Turn rumors into reality.

The only trump card that the Arab Empire could use in the decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty was the Persian Kingdom.

Control the Persian dynasty and establish a new Persian order.

The Arab Empire will have no way to start, and this will squeeze the Arab Empire's living space.

The Tang Dynasty took a crucial step towards final victory.

On December 1, Li Sheng sent a letter to Khalid ibn Barmak, claiming that the Heavenly Khan had ordered him to help the Persian Kingdom quell the rebellion.

Tomorrow, he will lead a thousand soldiers into Mulu City for rest.

At the same time, he went to meet the Persian king Romethon.

This sentence frightened Khalid Ibn Barmak and confirmed his suspicion. But he dared not say a word and silently replied to Li Sheng, saying that the east gate of the city of Tanming Mulu would be opened for them.

This shows that Khalid ibn Barmak decisively chose to stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty.

It is common to see a fast horse die on the journey, but a lame donkey returns home.

It was so easy for Luo Mixun and Pushan, father and son, to obtain the throne that it was effortless.

They don't know the hardships of starting a business and don't know how to cherish.

Being obsessed with desires, even with the support of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty does not take action, one will still be doomed.

When the Persian people rose up in rebellion, they did not have so many concerns.

Khalid ibn Barmak let the Tang army enter Murug City without telling Romexun and the nobles in the city.

He arranged his own men at the East Gate and waited for the arrival of the Tang army.

The next day, Li Sheng arrived as promised with a thousand elite Shen Ce Imperial Guards.

Not far from him, tens of thousands of Tang cavalry followed.

Once he was besieged, the army attacked from all sides.

When Li Sheng led a thousand cavalrymen to the east gate of Mulu City, the Persian people along the way were very shocked.

Why did a group of cavalrymen come to the city of Mulu?

Even though Persia was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, there was no such rule.

What’s even more terrifying is that the Persian defenders on the city wall turned a blind eye.

"We are following the Prime Minister's orders to welcome the general into the city."

When the commander of the East City garrison saw Li Sheng leading his troops to arrive, he immediately ran down to greet them.

He lamented that the generals of the Tang Dynasty were so majestic. Not only did they ride top-quality Arabian horses, but they also wore sophisticated armor.

The four gold-plated stars on the shoulders sparkled in the sun.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty generals, the Persian generals instantly looked like country bumpkins.

At this moment, East City is under martial law and commercial and travellers are prohibited from passing through.

"This general is here to convey the Supreme Emperor's decree!"

After Li Sheng finished speaking, five hundred Shen Ce guards dismounted and entered the city with their divine arm crossbows and spears to take over the defense of the east gate.

To facilitate the subsequent large troops to enter Mulu City.

The remaining 500 cavalrymen followed Li Sheng in and headed straight for the palace.

In Mulu City, an important city on the Silk Road, the sound of war horses neighing was heard again after more than ten years.

The officials and nobles of the entire Mulu City were alarmed.

They were very confused and didn't know why the Tang army entered the city?

Could it be that the Khan of Heaven has arrived?
Ketian Khan is coming to Mulu, we should at least inform him!

At the intersection leading to the palace, Khalid ibn Barmak met Li Sheng.

After the two men announced their identities to each other, they understood each other tacitly. Under the leadership of Khalid ibn Barmak, Li Sheng went to the palace.

The palace guards saw the Tang cavalry galloping through the city openly without receiving any reports, so they looked nervous and were ready for battle.

"How dare you! This is the Northern Governor of the Tang Dynasty, the Great General. The Khan of Heaven has ordered the Great General to convey the imperial edict to the King, and you are not allowed to stop him!"

Khalid ibn Barmak stepped forward and shouted at the Persian guards to retreat.

Although both were imperial guards, the Persian Guards were simply unable to compete with the Shence Cavalry.

The chain mail worn by the Persian guards all came from the Tang Dynasty.

The prime minister spoke, and the three words "Tian Khan" were heard again.

The guards looked at each other and decided to let them go.

Seeing the sharp-eyed and iron-clad Shen Ce guards, the Persian guards were trembling with fear.

There was a fireplace burning in Romexun's bedroom, making it warm and comfortable.

He forced himself to forget his troubles, indulged himself with fine wine, and watched the singing and dancing.

He fantasized that when he woke up, all his troubles would disappear.

"Your Majesty, the Khan has sent his imperial guards into the palace to deliver a message to you."

The waiter shook Romexun, his face pale.

"What disturbs my interest?"

Luo Mixun didn't understand and pushed the waiter.

He was already drunk and drowsy.

Seeing that Romexun was intoxicated, the waiter could only report the matter to Khalid ibn Barmak.

"I can wait, but the Supreme's decree cannot wait!"

Li Sheng said in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he held the sword and led the Divine Guards around the main hall of the palace and headed towards Luo Mixun's bedroom.

Khalid ibn Barmak could not stop him and could only follow behind.

The melodious singing voice mixed with the sound of stringed instruments and floated outside the hall.

The soldiers wearing bright armor climbed up the stairs.

The collision of armor and the intersection of vocal music.

The Persian beauties dance lightly and slowly, with slender waists. Every time they raise their hands and spin, they seem to carry endless charm, like green bamboos swaying in the wind, which is very inspiring.

But at this moment, the palace door was suddenly slammed open, and the huge noise shook everyone.

Li Sheng took the lead and strode into the hall.

Behind him, hundreds of Shen Ce imperial guards entered in a line with weapons in hand.

The cold murderous aura instantly dispelled the charming atmosphere of the singing and dancing music.

The Persian beauties screamed and ran deep into the palace.

The musicians also laid down their instruments.

Only the drunken Romexun was lying on the throne in an indecent posture.

"Persian king, why did you disobey the order of the Khan?"

Li Sheng didn't care that Luo Mixun was drunk and questioned him directly.

Of course, it was impossible for Luo Mixun to reply at this time.

"The Khan of Heaven has compassion. He learned that the Persian people were starving, so he ordered that the food of the Tang coalition army be distributed to the suffering people. You ignored the holy order, causing the country to wail and the people to suffer."

"The Heavenly Khan's westward expedition was also stalled because of this, costing countless money every day."

"In the face of the overall situation, he disregards the will of heaven, the law, and has no compassion for all living beings. This is not a ruler, nor a ruler of a country!"

"Now, by order of the Khan of Heaven, the throne of the Persian king of Romijun is abolished."

"The Persian Kingdom has temporarily established a parliament, and the Khan has appointed someone to serve as the head of the parliament to lead the government of the Persian Kingdom and appease the people."

"The Persian army and guards are temporarily commanded by the Heavenly Khan and will be mobilized according to his orders..."

"This order should be conveyed to Persia!"

Li Sheng took out the imperial edict from his arms and read it out directly without caring whether Luo Mixun could understand it or not.

Dethrone the King of Persia!
Khalid ibn Barmak heard it clearly.

He thought about how the King would end.

I never thought that the king could be deposed by an imperial edict.

The short-lived Persian Empire.

Over the past decade or so, the Persian people no longer want to be Persians.

Maybe Persia shouldn't exist...

After Li Sheng finished reading the imperial edict, two Shen Ce guards came on stage and dragged Luo Mixun off the stage.

"How dare you treat me like this... I will kill you..."

Luo Mixun struggled in her drunken dream...

"clang……"

Due to the large amplitude, the crown fell off.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Although the entire Mulu City had 5,000 defenders and 1,000 guards, it was too late to react.

At first, Li Sheng only entered with a thousand cavalrymen.

Not long after, another nine thousand Shen Ce Wei cavalrymen rushed over, entered from the east gate, and roamed the streets and alleys of Mulu City.

There were two thousand elite cavalrymen from Beiting on each side of the city.

No one is allowed to leave Mulu City...
