Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 292: Persuasion! The worst-case scenario is that the whole family will be exiled to the Tang Dynasty!
On the way to Persia, Wang Xuance had already learned from Alohan some about the feud between Persia and the Arab Empire.

Two years ago, the army of the Arab Empire reached Ctesiphon, the important capital of Persia. The Persian King Yazdegerd III hurriedly dispatched a large army to stop the Arab Empire's attack.

However, compared with the powerful and well-trained Arab Empire, Persia, which has always advocated peace and believed that harmony brings wealth, is naturally no match for the Arab Empire.

However, in just a few months, the Persian army was defeated. The Persian king had no choice but to flee Ctesiphon with many officials and relatives and came to Khorasan.

But only two years had passed, and the Arab Empire had prepared its troops and attacked again. Compared with before, this time the Arab Empire did not send out too many troops, but it still had 30,000 elite soldiers!
The Persian State can barely muster an army of 20,000 today, which is already stretched to the limit, not to mention that it is facing a well-trained army.

With a numerical disadvantage and weak combat power, it is obviously a dead end.

House seemingly endless rain.

As the army of the Arab Empire approached, voices begging for peace continued to be heard in Persia.

But ceding five cities today and ten cities tomorrow will only continue to strengthen the power of the Arab Empire and will not let the other side let Persia go!

A Luohan also understood this clearly, so after learning that the army of the Arab Empire was once again sending troops to Khorasan, he went to the palace to ask for help.

There were reinforcements, but there were only 800 of them. Even though A Luohan had full faith in Wang Xuance and others, only 800 people could not change the minds of those who surrendered.

And, most importantly, at this banquet, A Luohan and Wang Xuance both found many things wrong.

Before the army of the Arab Empire arrived at the city, some people in Persia were already thinking about how to please the new master.

This is the most terrifying place.

Fortunately, A Luohan had already discovered the signs and took steps to deal with the matter. Otherwise, Wang Xuance would have been worried that the men he brought with him would not have died at the hands of the elite soldiers of the Arab Empire, but instead at the hands of the Persians.

royal palace.

A Luo regretted having to meet him late at night.

"A Luo, why are you coming here at this time? Is there something important?"

"Please, father, give me the command!"

A Luohan looked deeply at Yisizhi III and said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can we have a chance to repel the 30,000-strong army of the Arab Empire!"

Yisizhi III widened his eyes and frowned in displeasure: "You have been with your uncle in Chang'an for so long, and this is all you have learned?"

A Luohan said in a deep voice: "Now that the army of the Arab Kingdom is approaching, there are voices of surrender in the country, but my father has ignored this matter. Isn't this a situation where we are facing both internal and external difficulties?"

Yazdzhi III sighed, "People's hearts have always been like this."

"it's not true!"

A Luohan said coldly: "There are also many pro-war factions in the country, such as the veteran Dorjago, the young and strong Valya and others. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to repel the 30,000 troops of the Arab Empire!"

"repel?"

Yazdegerd III shook his head and said, "It would be a blessing in disguise if they could just withdraw their troops."

"Do you think that you can defeat the 30,000-man army led by Moruoyedo with only the 800 men you brought with you?"

"impossible."

"I know that the Tang Empire is very powerful, but they haven't sent their elite troops here. All we can do now is to use the banner of the Tang Empire to deal with them."

"Confused!"

A Luohan said angrily: "Now I understand why there are so many begging voices in the city. It turns out that the fundamental reason is you!"

"presumptuous!"

Yisizhi III stood up suddenly and glared at him, "A Luohan, is this how you talk to me?"

A Luo did not back down, "So what?"

After staring at A Luohan for a while, Yisizhi III could not help but sigh and said, "Like, you really look too much like me."

"Back then, I, your father, had thought about restoring the glory of our ancestors. I also thought about becoming the king of all nations, the Iron-blooded Emperor. However, after Persia was handed over to me, it was already a weak country."

"Medes, West Asians, Jews..."

"Is there any one of them who is truly willing to be our partner or ally? No, not even one!"

"From the beginning to the end, they have been thinking about breaking away from Persia and defeating Persia to avenge their previous humiliation."

"Now that the Arab Empire is growing stronger, these people's ideas will naturally surface. What can I do? What should I do?"

"Kill them all? Maybe their relatives will rush in here with knives as soon as we get up tomorrow!"

"With a powerful enemy at hand, it will be extremely difficult to stabilize the current situation, kid."

Yazdegerd III spoke earnestly. This was the situation of Persia. Even if he had the power to turn the tide, he had to deal with the foreign enemies first!

It is not as naive as A Luohan thought. He thought that the country would be stable as long as all the collaborators in the country were captured.

The Persians were only part of the Persian Empire, not the absolute controllers.

A Luohan fell silent. "But I believe that with Wang Xuance and his men here, the Arab Empire will not be able to kill us!"

Yishizhi III said slowly, "Are you sure?"

A Luohan nodded heavily, "I am sure!"

"These people are not the real elite of the Tang Dynasty, but the elite among the elite!"

"...?"

Yasizhi III was almost confused by A Luohan.

"Aren't they the reinforcements you invited from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, but they are even more powerful than the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty!"

A Luohan said sternly, "Father, do you still remember that my uncle sent a batch of soap from the Tang Dynasty?"

Yazdegerd III nodded. He also had a share of the money earned. Otherwise, how could he support the operation of the Persian Empire?

A Luo Han: "They encountered trouble in Yanqi in the Western Regions. It was a team composed of Randy, a merchant from the Kingdom of the Arabs, who wanted to intercept our soap." "At that time, Wang Xuance had only a hundred men under his command, but they were all killed by the more than 500 people gathered by Randy, and no one on their side was injured or killed!"

Yasizhi III looked shocked. One hundred men against five hundred was not a simple arithmetic problem, nor was it one against five.

But everyone is very likely to face the siege of ten or even dozens of enemies!
But even so, one hundred people killed five hundred enemies without any casualties?

Such people in Persia are definitely the powerful army he has always dreamed of!

"This time, not only have their numbers increased, but they have also brought with them the most advanced weapons of the Tang Dynasty, weapons made by the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty himself!"

The weight increased again.

Yazdegerd III felt a glimmer of hope, and his breathing became heavy.

A Luohan continued, "Wang Xuance once told me personally that if we fight head-on, even if the enemy has thousands of troops, at least half of them will be killed or wounded before they get close to us!"

"Have you seen those weapons?"

"No, this is a secret that belongs only to the Tang Dynasty, the secret of the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

A Luohan said sternly, "This seems to be my father's secret, will he let me see it so easily?"

Yazdzhi III: "..."

A Luohan was full of confidence, "Father, believe us, we can definitely do it this time!"

"The worst-case scenario is that our entire family will be exiled to the Tang Dynasty!"

"If we win, we may be able to reintegrate the various ethnic groups in the country!"

"By then, my father will regroup and have a chance to become the new generation of Darius and the king of all nations!"

It has to be said that A Luohan's words are quite bewitching.

Yazdegerd III was so excited after hearing this that he wished he could hand over the power to Alohan right away so that he could have a head-on confrontation with the Arab Empire.

However, Yazdegerd III quickly calmed down.

"I believe you, but you are not qualified for this command."

Yazdegerd III let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Because they won't believe you, let alone believe that you will bring victory!"

"Father!?"

"Look, you're anxious again."

Yazdzhi III smiled slightly and said, "You are right. No matter how bad the situation is, it will only be that the Arab Empire will break through the city, and you and I will be exiled to the Tang Dynasty together."

"Father?"

There was light in A Luohan's eyes.

"Tomorrow, I will arrange for Dorjago to take command, and you will be his deputy general!"

Yazdegerd III said meaningfully: "I am the King of Persia, and I must maintain the dignity of the King of Persia."

A Luohan seemed to be thinking about something. Yi Sishi III said: "Just do it, I will take care of the rear!"

Ah Luo Han: "Father is wise!"

……

Early the next morning.

In the palace hall, Yazdegerd III announced publicly that Dorjak would command the three armies, and Arohan, Valiya and others would be deputy generals, and would obey Dorjak's orders!
For an instant.

The ministers in Persia understood.

Yazdegerd III is going to have a bloody battle with the Caliphate!

"King, think twice before you act!"

"King, you must not fight a bloody war with the Arabs. You should focus on negotiating peace!"

"The Arabs have strong soldiers and horses, while Persia only has 20,000 soldiers capable of fighting. Although we have the Tang Dynasty's magic soldiers, they only have 800 men. We must not act rashly!"

One by one, the ministers advised Yazdegerd III not to act rashly, otherwise it would be like an egg hitting a stone.

Compared with these surrenderists, the pro-war faction, such as Dorjago, spoke righteously.

"We negotiate peace today, and tomorrow. Do we have to negotiate peace over and over again?"

"Darius I was so brave and extraordinary back then. Wherever he went, all nations submitted to him. He was even revered by countless nations as the King of Kings, the Iron-blooded Emperor. As his descendants, can we only negotiate for peace?!"

"The Arab Empire only sent out 30,000 troops, and we also have 20,000 troops. Why did they surrender without a fight?"

The pro-war declarations of Dorjago and others immediately aroused ridicule from the surrender faction.

What do you mean you were defeated two years ago and fled to Khorasan? Why don't you show any toughness?
What? Weren't you the one who was beaten and ran away in fear?
Wang Xuance said this was the first time he had seen this scene.

If it were the Tang Dynasty, hey, I'd roll up my sleeves and get to work.

Whenever an official says he wants to negotiate peace, everyone has to suspect whether this person is a spy sent by the enemy country!
"I've made up my mind!"

Yazdegerd III said in a deep voice, "This time, Dorjak will lead the army to defeat the Arab Empire!"

"king……"

Just when everyone was about to persuade him, a guard ran in hurriedly from outside.

"Report!"

"King, it's bad, the army of the Arab Empire is coming!"

ps: Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, was the third emperor of the Persian Empire. He called himself "King of Nations" and was later honored as "The Iron-Blooded Emperor".
