Nine hundred and eighty-one battle on two fronts (middle)

Isham was used to threaten the rebels, making them afraid to continue moving forward. This goal was indeed achieved. The rebels were frightened by the emperor's threat and feared what to do if the emperor really attacked Isham. In fact, so many organizations of the rebels may not be united. A few really wanted to save Isham, and more were just taking advantage of the situation to rob them, expressing their dissatisfaction with the government, overthrow the emperor, and then competing for the world. They didn't care about Isham's life or death.

But Isham is now a benchmark figure in the entire rebel army. Everyone is rebelling to save him. Saving him is the biggest goal and the only goal. The army that revolted because of the rescue of Isham can get the support of the people. Otherwise, it would be a fisherman, not a good thing. The environment is like this. No matter how many other thoughts they have, they dare not say it. And if Isham is really killed because of some of them, the rebel army will not be able to get through.

Moreover, even if the minds are ulterior motives, the soldiers of the uprising army at the bottom are all people who are deeply favored by reform officials. Their minds and starting points are pure, and they just want to save those good officials who plead for the people, let them continue to rule, and let them live a good life. There is no other idea. If the leaders of the uprising army deviate from this principle, or currently deviate from such principle, they really dare not imagine what kind of end they will face.

How could they make such a mistake? Although they thought in their hearts that only Isham died will be considered a real chaos in the world, but no one dared to cause Isham's death, and that would definitely become the target of public criticism. Whoever wants to do this kind of fool would do it? I don't want to do such a thing, that's purely seeking death, right? So their goals are very clear. Isham not allowed to die, they must bear the emperor's threat, regardless of whether they are willing or not.

Reports from all over the country showed that the rebels stopped, and the emperor and the officials smiled proudly, and the officials who had planned to run away came back shamelessly. The little emperor received them with a smile. He gave them dozens or hundreds of people each and asked them to go out to deal with the rebels. These officials were immediately scared. They only knew how to eat but didn't know where the food came from, but they only knew how the result was, but they didn't know how the process was. It would be better to let them die than to lead troops to fight, and there were only dozens or hundreds of people!

It is said that the largest rebel army has exceeded 100,000, occupying more territory in the two provinces. Who is crazy about fighting with them? More than 100,000 troops were wiped out, so I didn't take risks. So they gathered all of them in private, gathered the troops together, gathered more than 10,000 people, and sought their own way to survive. As for their results, haha, it would be better not to say anything.

The Persian court was happy because of their significant results. The elite troops of the border guards arrived on time and rushed towards the rebels from all directions. The situation changed. The young emperor and civil servants and generals were so happy, but before they could express their excitement in their faces, a bad news came from the sky, which made them feel the deep malice from this world...

Du He, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty and the Supreme Commander of the Anxi Army, was extremely shocked by the news of the civil unrest in Persia and the news of Isham being imprisoned. At the same time, he was also worried about the safety of the Tang people in Persia. The Persian government must let Isham come to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty in person to discuss specific matters, and then the Tang Dynasty can decide whether to send troops to Persia and protect the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Suning estimated that the little Persian emperor and a group of civil and military generals must have had a very wonderful expression when they heard the news. They had just settled down in the country. As a result, the Tang Dynasty asked again abroad. It was really a front door to drive the wolf into the tiger in the back door, which made them unable to defend themselves. Moreover, the tiger was very strong, and they dared not provoke it at all, for fear that the tiger would get angry and kill them all. However, Isham could not let go. Once released, it was hard to say whether the Tang Dynasty would protect Isham. Then the rebels lost their last fear and were raised by Isham - and then... the game ended.

They thought about it and felt that instead of committing suicide like this, it would be better to slow down and delay, to see if they could win the time to destroy the rebel army, and then turn around and gather the national forces to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty. They have had enough of the Tang Dynasty's robbery and do not want to be restricted by the Tang Dynasty. Now is the last chance to clean up the rebel army and then show up with the Tang Dynasty. Before that, they have to perfunctory things, and say that this kind of thing is completely false, and then find someone to write a letter to the Tang people in Isham's handwriting and tone.

Du He wanted to laugh when he received the letter because he found that the letter was written in Persian, and Isham always communicated with him in Chinese, not in Persian, and it was like this whether it was writing letters or speaking. Therefore, it can basically be concluded that Isham, who said he was very happy, is completely a Sibei product. As for the real Isham, he probably has lost his personal freedom.

Then, he finally had reason to start a war against Persia. Although Du He was very worried about the assassination of His Majesty Li Er before, he had received an order from His Majesty Li Chengqian to allow him to act cheaply. What followed was a tiger talisman that symbolized the mobilization of the 270,000 troops of the Anxi Army. Du He was very grateful for this and decided to fight a beautiful battle to give Li Chengqian a long face.

Suning's instructions also came, saying that Du He should not be concerned about other things, and should not worry about other things at all. Just fight your own war. As for the things in Chang'an City, don't worry. Your actions will be assisted by Zongheng and Blood Drips. Don't be distracted. No matter what happens here, you must fight a good war, defend your territory, and eliminate Persia, and be ready to fight the final battle with the Romans at any time. Remember not to be distracted.

But the more Suning said this, the more Du He was worried. The Supreme Emperor was assassinated in Sanyuan County, but Suning was also a marquis of Sanyuan County. If this matter was not targeted by Suning, Du He would not believe it even if he was killed. Not only Suning, but even Li Chengqian would be in a public opinion crisis. The country's internal uneasiness, but the outside world had to launch a national war. Is it really okay to do this? Will this not affect the situation of the war? This battle is really important to the Tang Dynasty. Is it really okay to hand it over to himself?

However, after all, although this matter is very important and makes me care very much, if I can't fight the war well, it's my own problem. At the age of 28, I will be the commander of the 270,000 army. This is what Du He dreamed of. More than ten years ago, he was still a waste, but now, he has transformed. Many parents pointed at Du He and said that the prodigal son would not change gold, but Du He did not think so. If it weren't forcing him, who would take this step? How much blood and tears are behind his name as a crazy general? Who knows? There is only one Du He in the world, and this is a truth that will never change.

So, the war is about to begin.

However, the Persian side did not think there was anything wrong. They tried to send spies to the Tang Dynasty, but they were all in the sea and there was no news. There was no news at all, so they gave up. They had no idea that the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty was urgently mobilizing, and the artillery teams were gathering urgently. Various siege weapons teams were gathering, and various elite and powerful armies were gathering. The war was about to begin, and the Tang Dynasty was actively preparing.

However, Persia still had no other move. While deceived the Tang Dynasty, it was urgently dispatched powerful border troops to kill the rebels. Not to mention, after a little fear, some weak and small rebels were caught off guard by the relatively powerful border troops. More than a dozen rebels were destroyed, and the Persian border troops achieved good results. Then they continued to advance rapidly, intending to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, but they ignored that they had defeated only a small number of people.

The most powerful rebels have not moved yet! A Persian border army of more than 5,000 people attacked the most powerful "Isham Rescue Army" among the rebels, which was the head rebel army in Isham's hometown. As a result, they surrounded them, wrapped dumplings, and were wiped out, and the wave of counterattacks by the rebels against the Persian border army. As a result, not long after, the Persian border army suffered losses and was attacked by the generals, and was attacked by the sneak attacks. They were attacked without sneak attacks. As they attacked, many people discovered that the local people were the opposition to the rebels. They helped the rebels, where the border troops lived, how many troops they had, and what action plans they had, were often known by the rebels before the action, and then...

The border army was beaten for more than a month and lost more than half of its total strength of more than 100,000. If Isham's life safety was not threatened, the border army would probably be completely destroyed. Soon the government's defense line would be completely destroyed, and the imperial city would be surrounded and they would be all over. But now with Isham's life-saving straw, of course, we should use it well, otherwise it would be a trivial matter if we were killed and losing the throne would be a trivial matter.

The little Persian emperor and civil servants and generals were once again in sorrow. He thought that the border army with strong combat effectiveness had the strength to defeat the Rebel Army, but the border army was defeated and the generals were lost. The little emperor was furious and withdrew many military positions. Then he urgently mobilized the strongest Persian army on the Roman border to come back, preparing to burn the boats and kill the rebel army in one fell swoop. Some officials and generals believed that doing so would give the Romans an opportunity to take advantage of it, but the little emperor said angrily: "How can you resist external humiliation if you don't have internal troubles?"

The little emperor could see this clearly.

However, no matter how clearly he saw it, he could not resist the incompetence of the army and the strength of the rebels, as well as the sudden outgoing of the Tang army.

On the third day of the third month of the second year of Chenghe, the Tang Dynasty, Du He, commander of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, ordered a full dispatch of 150,000 troops, divided into five groups, and each of which was 30,000 troops. The army was commanded by young generals as the main generals to fight, quickly breaking through the Botang border where the main force of the border guards was transferred, and then announced a declaration of war to the Persian government, warning the Persian government not to attack Isham, and to ensure the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, once the city is broken, all jade and stones will be burned!

Persia was frightened, and the little emperor fainted suddenly, and now he really fainted. The court was in chaos, and a large number of generals and civil servants fled. No one cares about the little emperor's life or death. The Tang army really dispatched, with an army of 150,000, and the entire eastern Persia lacked troops, and there was no powerful border army as a barrier. Many provinces in the eastern part of the country were all focused on the Tang Dynasty. Who dared to say that they would not collapse without fighting? Or surrender directly?

What happened later did indeed conform to their expectations. In addition to the two resolute resistances in the eight eastern provinces, six surrendered directly. The Tang army occupied six provinces without any effort. In just ten days, the Tang army forced thousands of miles to fight in an radius of thousands of miles. Five armies fought against the Persian army. The remaining two resolute resistances were soon destroyed by the artillery of the Tang Dynasty. After the destruction, there was no other resistance. In just nineteen days, the Tang army dispatched the entire line to the Persian capital.

The rapid development of the war situation was not beyond anyone's expectations. The Persian government did not dare to do anything evil to Isham. After learning about the dispatch of the Tang army and the request of the Tang army, the rebels were ecstatic and immediately sent troops to attack the capital. The rebels in the east joined forces with the Tang army and fought side by side with the Tang army to clean up the Persian government army. The powerful rebels in the west formed their own system, supported and helped each other, and constantly destroyed the defense line of the Persian government army.

Everything was moving towards the direction originally designed. The little emperor would never have thought that just dismissing one Isham would lead to the destruction of the country. Only seven or eight of his ministers ran away. This time, no Isham came out to protect him. He sat on the throne dejectedly, watching the palace people fleeing in panic, and the loyal captain of the guard desperately led people to maintain order, he felt inexplicably painful.

All this may not have happened. If I had not removed Isham, nothing might have happened. He thought so, but without him clearly understood that no matter whether Isham had been removed or not, he would not be able to save the current situation. He had already left the road to death and still obeyed the central government's army less than 300,000. Even the strongest Persian corps in the marching seemed to have been stopped by the rebels. The commander was his father's old subordinate, and he believed that the commander would not abandon him.
