Chapter 64: The Ending of Hachazhi

Under Chen Wanrong's instruction, these scholars began to write letters to their friends, discussing the grandeur of Chang'an and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. They also specifically talked about the advantages of Malik in Chang'an and asked them to consider their idea of ​​going to Chang'an.

A few days after the letter was sent, Zhang Jiuling and Han Xiu and others arrived. Among them, there were a group of people who borrowed from the Imperial College, who were very knowledgeable and full of books. Chen Wanrong immediately summoned them and gave them a lecture, asking them to meet these scholars immediately and put in more effort.

If Chen Wanrong's initial thoughts were the most common language between scholars and scholars, they had a passionate fight with these scholars, and some became friends. Of course, they did not forget the task assigned by Chen Wanrong, and took the opportunity to promote the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and respect for scholars.

The scholars of Dashi were already exhorting Chen Wanrong, and saying this to them became the icing on the cake. They all wanted to arrive in Chang'an early to see the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Under the inspiration of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, they racked their brains and sweated, bringing almost all the scholars they knew together.

Finally, Chen Wanrong ordered people to send them to Chang'an.

A large number of Tang Army seized and books about Dashi were sent away with them.

A long team full of treasures, rolling eastward without a glance. Chen Wanrong saw it and couldn't help but smile in his heart, "The emperor asked me to solve the military expenditure problem. Our capture alone is enough for the army to use for many years, let alone collect taxes. There is no difficulty at all. This is the first batch, and there are so many. In Iraq, Damascus, and Constantinople, there are more treasures waiting for us!"

With the help of Zhang Jiuling and Han Xiu, the government affairs were handled much faster, and it was almost done in a few days. Once it was a little stable, Chen Wanrong arranged left-behind officials and immediately rushed to Iraq with Zhang Jiuling and Han Xiu.

Because, after defeating Hachazhi at the city of Samarkand, Hachazhi's army lost 80% of the tenths. This was a good opportunity to chase the dead and chase the north. How could Geshuhan missed it? He commanded the Tang army to chase it fiercely.

Hacha fled from Samarkand not long before he intercepted Fei Junxing and Cheng Xiaotian's army. After a fight, Hacha fled in panic. And Mohammed was very unlucky and actually captured Cheng Xiaotian alive.

Hacha, who finally broke out of the siege, rushed to the horse and wanted to return to his old nest in Iraq, Kufa, as soon as possible, and mobilized the army to defend it. Geshuhan would not give him a chance to breathe, and commanded the Tang army to chase him from behind. Hacha just entered Kufa, and the Tang army arrived.

Kufa was Hacha's old nest, which was long-term and extremely strong. The Tang army pursued the enemy, and the artillery was too heavy and fell behind. Geshuhan immediately ordered the Tang army to surround Kufa and wait until the artillery arrived before siege.

However, something that Geshuhan absolutely unexpected happened. That night, the people in Kufa City actually opened the city gate to welcome Tang Jun into the city.

Geshuhan was still a little unbelievable after receiving the report, but when the opportunity was right, he ignored the rest and immediately ordered the Tang army to enter the city. The Tang army entered the Ku law in an orderly manner, with strict military discipline, and did not violate the people. The local people welcomed each other, and everyone was excited. According to their statement, "The Tang army is good and does not disturb the people. It is not like the army of Daqi. It robs things and kills the people at any time! Plundering people as slaves!"

It was not until after understanding the situation that Geshuhan understood why the people opened the city gate to welcome the Tang army. The reason was not only because of Hachazi's high-pressure policy, but also because the Shiites of Kufa strongly opposed the Umayyad Dynasty. The Umayyad Dynasty was sometimes translated as "Wumeye Dynasty" in Chinese. Kufa was the center of Shiites' resistance to the Umayyad Dynasty. When Hachazi was at that time, the Shiites restrained their efforts because of his iron-blooded skills. After his death, the Shiites had no scruples and resisted the Umayyad Dynasty with great fanfare.

There is no doubt that Hacha's rule over Iraq was successful, but his success was based on blood flowing. After becoming the governor of Iraq, he killed 120,000 people, which made Iraq settle down. This high-pressure strategy is indeed miraculous, but there are more seeds of hatred. It is just that the Iraqi people have no strength to resist, dare not speak out, and buried hatred in their hearts. Until the Tang army almost wiped out Hacha's army, this gave them a chance to exaggerate. When they heard that the Tang army had arrived at the city, they naturally had to respond to the Tang army.

This is the scene above.

By the way, the Iraqi center was not reached at this time. Baghdad is now just a small town. It was dozens of times later that the second caliph of the Abbasid Dynasty chose Baghdad as the capital of the empire and began to build Baghdad. From then on, Baghdad became famous.

Kufa actually betrayed him. After Hacha received the report, he almost didn't believe his ears. However, the facts were there, so he could not believe it. The angry people flocked to the Governor's Office, wanting to capture Hachat alive and give him to the Tang army. Fortunately, Hachat's guards were loyal to him and insisted on guarding the Governor's Office, so that the people did not succeed.

After learning about the situation, Geshuhan led the Tang army to come, surrounded the Governor's Office, and asked someone to pass on a message to Ha Cha, asking him to surrender. If he surrendered, the Tang army could spare his life.

Hachazhi's answer is surprising, but also admirable. His answer is "My life and death are insignificant, and life and death are for you. However, you must forgive my guards! They have followed me for so many years, and I cannot let them lose their lives!"

Before Geshuhan could answer, the leader of the Shiites quarreled, "Sir, you cannot agree to his request! He is a vicious person, his hands are covered with our blood. If you don't kill him, it is not enough to relieve your hatred! Please give orders to kill him!"

To win the people here, you only need to kill Hacha. However, as a soldier, Geshuhan admires Hacha and does not want to kill him. He had to convince the leader of the Shiites: "I can't kill him, and whether to kill him or not depends on the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is different from Dashi. The governor of Dashi has the power to kill a high-ranking official like Hacha, but I don't have such power."

The Shiite leader couldn't help but complain: "Your emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really true, why don't you give you this power?"

Ge Shuhan's face sank, "Don't talk about our emperor!"

It is not without the power to kill Ha Chazhi, but it is best to send Ha Chazhi to Chang'an and deal with it by Li Longji, so that it is perfect.

The Shiite leader found out that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "Sir, please forgive me!"

Geshuhan immediately replied to Hacha, "I promised you the conditions and not kill them! I can also tell you that I will not kill you, but I will send you to Chang'an and be dealt with by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

It was an insult to sending it to the capital of the enemy country. I thought that Hacha might not agree. However, what surprised Geshuhan was that Hacha agreed readily, and the matter was settled.

"Hacha finally caught it!" Chen Wanrong was very excited when he received the news and almost jumped up.

This is a great good news. Hacha is just the governor of the Eastern Seafood of Dashi and the supreme ruler of Dashi in the East. He captured it, which shows that Dashi's rule in the East has collapsed completely, leaving only half of the Western world. This is very exciting.

Chen Wanrong rushed to Kufa without stopping and went straight to the Governor's Office. The Governor's Office has been handed over to the Tang army for supervision. The Tang army is very strict. Chen Wanrong entered the Governor's Office and saw the situation in the mansion. He was so surprised that he almost fell to the ground.

Hacha and Muhammad were only served by the servants, eating delicious roasted lamb, holding wine glasses from time to time, with a happy look on their faces, not like being a prisoner at all, but like a guest.

According to common sense, once a big man like Hacha is in the hands of an enemy country, his life and death are uncertain, he should be worried. He has no expression of sadness and fear like him. Who would believe it when he said it?

Jide Zuzan was a powerful leader of Tubo. Once he fell into the hands of the Tang army, he was actually a little bit of heroic spirit. The most surprising thing was Mochu, who was also a Khan who killed people. After his defeat, he was extremely soft, even the dough was harder than him. Chen Wanrong could not imagine it at all, either he was surprised.

"The army supervisor is here!" the soldier shouted.

Hacha and Mohammed quickly put down their wine glasses, stood up, and saluted Chen Wanrong, "I have seen the military supervisor!"

The two of them actually spoke Chinese well. In addition to their slightly stiff pronunciation, they thought they were from the Tang people at first. Chen Wanrong was surprised and asked, "Can you say what we say?"

Hacha just smiled and said, "The military supervisor doesn't know. We can not only say it, but it's not bad, right? Military supervisor, please think, I'm in the East, restoring order in Iraq is just a trivial matter. My biggest wish is to fight to the East and set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty. How can I not learn from your words?"

Muhammad took the conversation and said, "My Lord once promised that if Gu Taibai and I set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty first, we will be the governor of the Tang Dynasty. I am determined to be the governor of the Tang Dynasty. I have to learn what you say."

Chen Wanrong's face sank and asked, "Have you set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty?"

This sentence is very ironic, and you will blush as long as you are an individual. Hacha and Muhammad did not react at all with shame. Hacha just shook his head and sighed: "I originally thought the Tang Dynasty was just a lie, but now I know that the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world. You taught me a lesson, a good lesson!"

Mohammed just nodded and didn't say anything. This was the best way for him to agree that Hacha only said the truth.

Chen Wanrong's face slowed down and he asked, "Hacha, I have a question. When Brother Geshu asked you to surrender, he once said that he wanted to send you to Chang'an, why don't you refute?"

"Haha!" Hacha laughed very happily. After laughing, he said: "Military Supervisor, even if General Geshu doesn't mention it, I will automatically ask for it. Since I arrived in the East, I have always been thinking about defeating the Tang Dynasty. Over the years, our preparations have been very sufficient. However, Gu Taibai defeated Talas and I defeated Samarkand by both, which impressed me!

"I dare not say anything else. When it comes to military use, I, Hacha, only think that Dashi has few opponents. My army is absolutely loyal to me, and they will carry out my orders meticulously. I have absolute confidence in my army that I can defeat any army in the world. I originally thought that defeating the Tang Dynasty was not a problem.

"Until now, I realized that I was arrogant and arrogant! The strength of the Tang Dynasty was far beyond my imagination! In life, it was a great honor to be able to fight an opponent like the Tang Dynasty, even if it was defeated! I only admire such an opponent. Can I not go to Chang'an to see it? I was determined to defeat the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, I realized that this was impossible. However, going to the Tang Dynasty and going to Chang'an for a walk is my wish, and I got it. After this wish is fulfilled, what's the harm in death?"

Mohamed emphasized, "What sir wants to say is what I want to say! I also want to go to Chang'an, and I also ask the military supervisor to help me!"

"I've seen it, I've seen it!" When I went to the capital of the enemy country, many people were unwilling to be beaten to death. Hacha and Muhammad actually shook their heads and wanted to go. Chen Wanrong shouted in his heart, "What a strange thing!"

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "I will make arrangements!"

"Thank you, the military officer!" Hacha said with a sideways, "If the military officer does not like us as prisoners, please have a drink with us!"

Chen Wanrong really admires Hacha, this person. Sitting down to talk about heroes with him is also a great pleasure in life. However, Chen Wanrong has many things now, saying, "I appreciate your kindness. However, I still have things to deal with now."

Hacha laughed and said, "Military Supervisor, there is an allusion in your history called "Glass of Wine to Talk about Heroes. Why don't we imitate it today? Military Supervisor is worried about accepting the city, right? I know the city in the east. If the military supervisor needs it, I am willing to tell it."

He is the Eastern Governor of the Great Food and is most familiar with these cities. If he can get his help, it will not be difficult to manage. The problem is that this matter is too bizarre, Chen Wanrong was a little unbelievable and asked, "Why did you do this?"

"First of all, what I want to say is that I did this not for my life. When I arrived in Chang'an, you would kill and cut it, as you wish." Hacha only made an announcement and then entered the topic: "I admire the Tang Dynasty when I did this! Your Tang Dynasty emphasizes loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. We don't have this statement. What we want is one thing, our own way of survival!"

He paused a little and said, "This statement may be a bit difficult for you Tang people, but it is easy for us cannibals. Since ancient times, this land has been ravaged several times, first the Persian Empire, then the Alexander Empire, and then the Roman Empire. Now, it is our cannibals. These empires rise today and perish tomorrow. The period of rule of this land is very short, and it is just a profitable thing for the empire. For the people in the empire, being an official is just a background, but a way to survive. Unlike you, since the unification of Qin Shihuang, it has been thousands of years of history. In this thousand years, although there is a change of dynasty, you have survived in the same empire. You recognize Chinese civilization. And we don't even have a civilization that can be recognized.

"Persians, Iraqis, Syrians, Egyptians, Jerusalems, Palestinians, Jews, they each recognize themselves, even if they live in the same empire. In the same empire, they will fight openly and secretly, and even wars. In the past decades, although the Great Food has conquered vast land, it has not stopped this struggle. It is not that the Caliph does not want to do it, it is impossible!"

The sentence "It's not that you don't want to do it, it's that you can't do it" is the best comment on the turbulent changes in the Middle East. Although the Middle East now recognizes Muslims and Islamic civilization, its struggles are no different from those in ancient times. Before the Islamization of the Middle East, the situation here was unpredictable. Today is the rule of one empire, and maybe another empire is ruled tomorrow.

Historically, although there were Persian Empire, Arab Empire, and Saladin Empire in the Middle East, it was finally divided and divided into dozens of countries and regions. The reason was that Islamic civilization could not play the role of connecting them all the time.

Hachazhi’s statement is very straightforward but pertinent. Chen Wanrong has to agree: “Hachazhi, I despise people like you who ignore the country and nation for personal interests! However, I welcome you if you are willing to contribute to the Tang Dynasty!”

"Haha!" Hacha just smiled and invited Chen Wanrong to sit down, sifted a glass of wine for Chen Wanrong and said, "This is the wine from the Tang Dynasty, which General Geshuhan specially rewarded us. This wine tastes quite delicious!"

It was probably because he said something similar to Geshuhan, so Geshuhan looked at him differently and let him enjoy the fine wine of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Wanrong was eating roasted lamb and drinking fine wine, and talking to Hacha and Mohammed. The two of them told everything they knew without reservation. After drinking, Chen Wanrong returned to the office and brought a pair of the collected information. Hacha and Mohammed had no false words.

It took no effort to receive the cities in Iraq, but it was just a sight to see the wind. Hacha was defeated and his army suffered a considerable loss. More importantly, Hacha was only an undefeated myth in the minds of their army. He was defeated and became a prisoner. Where could his subordinates still have the mood to resist?

Furthermore, Hacha only issued an order to cooperate with the Tang army. As soon as the Tang army arrived, they automatically surrendered. Within half a month, the cities in Iraq were under the control of the Tang army.

Chen Wanrong checked the treasury and had to admit that Hacha had a good ability to plunder. Kufa had much more treasure than Samarkand, and countless gold, silver and jewelry. Chen Wanrong's eyes shone brightly when he saw it.

Next, it should be the governance matter. Just have Zhang Jiuling and Han Xiu. After Chen Wanrong explained the matter, he immediately rushed to Damascus, the capital of Dashi.

After occupying Kufa, Geshuhan immediately sent someone to Chen Wanrong to come and take over the city and handle government affairs. However, he himself, he led the Tang army straight to Damascus, the capital of Dashi.

Damascus is the capital of Dashi. With Chen Wanrong's idea, there must be a fierce battle. However, what surprised Chen Wanrong was that he received the battle report from Geshuhan on the way, and Damascus had been taken down.
Chapter completed!
