The city of Sparhan, also known as Isfahan, is located in the valley of the Zagros Mountains and the Kuhru Mountains, on the banks of the Zainde River.
This is a town with a long history and is the only way for trade between the east, west, north and south.
Some people established towns here during the Achaemenid Dynasty in the 4th and 5th centuries BC.
City Lord's Mansion.
Mahdi was sitting on the throne with a crown on his head, looking at the ministers and generals with a serious face and said: "The attack of the Western Qin Army was too fierce.
They attacked many places in Persia and lost almost half of the territory. , if this continues, we will lose Persia.
We must find a way to prevent the Western Qin people from continuing to attack Lord Khalid.
What do you think we should do now?"
After Mansur was captured by the Western Qin and Mahdi was supported as caliph by ministers and military generals, all parts of Persia quickly expressed their submission to Mahdi's rule and recognized his caliphate; tribal chiefs across the Arabian Peninsula also Expressing respect for the Mahdi as the Caliph, except for the areas around Baghdad, other areas in the Mesopotamian plains are dominated by the Mahdi.
This shows that the ministers and generals who support the Mahdi are still very powerful.
Khalid heard the Mahdi calling him.
He thought for a while and stood up and said to the Mahdi and other ministers and generals: "Sir, the chief of the believers, my original idea was to persuade you to unite with your other brothers to temporarily give up your prejudices and unite together. jointly resisted the attack of the Western Qin Army, but now it seems that this This may not work.
Our territory is directly facing the threat of the Western Qin Army, but the territories of your other brothers are not in such danger at all.
They want to compete with you for the legitimacy and dominance of the Caliphate.
They want you to be defeated by the Western Qin Army.
The Qin people were defeated, and now we have the only way left."
Mansour is not dead yet, and he has not appointed a prince before.
Even if a prince is appointed, powerful princes can still compete with the prince for the position of caliph, because the prophet did not make a clear decision on the inheritance of the caliph before his death.
There is no clear explanation in the Quran regulations, but he was still more inclined to the democratic election system during his lifetime, so the first four caliphs after his death were jointly elected by the chiefs of various tribes and elders of the sect.
However, during the reign of the fourth caliph Ali, There was unrest at the highest levels of power in the Arab Empire.
Ali was the son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet.
Muawiya, the governor of Syria at the time and commander of the Northern Front Army, questioned the legitimacy of Ali's succession to the caliphate and provoked him with force.
A bloody confrontation involving tens of thousands of people broke out between the two sides.
Historically known as the Sui-Finnish War.
As a result, Ali won militarily but lost politically, and for the first time there was a political schism within the Dashi sect.
Later, Ali was assassinated on his way back to the Kufa Mosque.
Muawiya relied on his strong military strength to ascend the throne of the caliph.
He also declared Ali's remaining party illegal and sent troops to arrest and kill them.
In his old age, Mu'awiya did not intend to be jointly elected as the caliph after his death.
Instead, he used his power to appoint his son as the prince and control a large number of military and political powers.
Before his death, he The nomination of his son Yazid to succeed the caliph made it easy for Yazid to inherit the position of caliph.
The Arab democratic consultation system was abolished and transformed into a feudal autocratic monarchy.
All these gave the powerful princes of successive dynasties the excuses and reasons to compete with the prince for the position of caliph.
Mahdi asked: "Master Khalid, if you have any idea, just say it.
Now is not the time to be polite and modest.
We don't have time to discuss it anymore.
The people of Western Qin will not give us much time."
"Yes" Khalid agreed and said immediately: "Now our only way is to send people to talk to the Western Qin people, give Western Qin some benefits, and let them withdraw their troops.
As long as the foreign troubles are solved, we can free up our hands to deal with other rebels. " In one sentence, Khalid not only proposed a solution, but also characterized several other Mahdi's brothers as rebels.
Mahdi was elated when he heard this.
This could not only solve foreign troubles, but also give legitimacy to his caliphate, because Only the legitimate caliph is qualified to negotiate with foreign enemies.
Mahdi was overjoyed and immediately made the decision: "Okay, Sir Khalid's opinion is very good.
Let's act accordingly and immediately send people to talk to the Western Qin people and give them some benefits and let them withdraw."
"yes" Walcha Pass.
This place is very close to the city of Spahan.

Chu Ge led the 15,000-strong Western Qin vanguard army and was frantically blocked by the food army.
In order to defend the city of Spahan, Mahdi dispatched the most powerful of the guards.
There are 5,000 elite heavy armored cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
However, the Chu singers only have light cavalry and infantry, and even the Modao team only has a thousand people.
The Dashi Army occupied a favorable terrain.
After Chu Ge led his army to arrive, the two sides immediately set up their positions.
At first, the Dashi Army dispatched 20,000 light cavalry on the left and right wings.
Chu Ge responded with light cavalry.
Not long after the battle began, the Dashi Army's left and right wings were once surrounded by The powerful Western Qin Qingqi were defeated, but they were very Quickly, the Chinese army dispatched two thousand light cavalry to confuse Chu Ge.
Chu Ge fought with three thousand light cavalry.
The Chinese army's two thousand Dashi light cavalry were defeated and retreated to the two wings.
Now the Dashi army hid five thousand heavy armor behind the Chinese army.
The cavalry appeared, and they fought to the west with unparalleled momentum and unstoppable impact.
The Qin army's central army, the three thousand Western Qin light cavalry at the head, were instantly dispersed and suffered heavy losses.
The remaining troops had to retreat to the two wings.
The Qin generals were a little panicked now, but fortunately Chu Ge was still calm.
At the critical moment, the Qian Mo Dao team lined up in a neat formation to block the impact of the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Food Army.
Chu Ge took this opportunity to move the commander's flag backwards.
The commander's flag retreated backwards and was quickly defeated by the Western Qin Army on the left and right flanks.
The soldiers found that morale began to decline and the advantages previously gained by both wings were lost.
However, Dajun only retreated and did not fall.
The morale of the soldiers of the Western Qin Army was not completely lost, and they still had the strength to fight.
However, at this time, the Western Qin Army had lost the opportunity, and there would be no benefit from fighting again at this time.
Chu Ge could only order the entire army to retreat slowly.
The 5,000 heavily armored cavalry of the Great Food Army also lost speed after scattering the 1,000-thousand-Xi Qinmo sword force, and no longer had the power to kill.
The two sides immediately withdrew their troops and waited for another day. war.
The camp of the Western Qin Pioneer Army.
"We made a mistake.
The Great Eater hid five thousand heavy armored cavalry behind the Chinese army's light cavalry, but I didn't notice it."
Chu Ge's face was as calm as a pond, and there was no ripple in the ancient well.
He looked at the secretary and asked: "How much will we lose this time?"
The secretary bent down, lowered his head, and said with cupped hands: "Mo Dao team lost more than 800 people, and the remaining more than 100 people were all injured.
The 3,000 cavalrymen at the front of the Chinese army lost more than 1,200 people, More than 500 people were injured, more than 300 were missing, and nearly 1,000 people were safely evacuated."
The more than 300 missing people were probably captured by the food army.
Chu Ge and the other generals knew this.
This is the first time that the Western Qin Army has suffered such a big loss.
Even if Chu Ge pretends to be calm on the surface, he still feels embarrassed.
The Western Qin Army has never suffered such a big loss since its campaign in all directions.
Doesn't this seem to others?
He is incompetent There was a huge ball of anger in his heart.
He suppressed his anger and said to the generals and army officials: "The fault of this battle is mine, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
I, Mr.
Chu, shall bear the blame alone.
It was the general who responded to the battle."
Inadequate and incompetent command, I will personally write a handwritten letter to apologize to the king later.

However, I am not convinced by the defeat in this battle.
I am determined to regroup and fight against the food army again.
Generals, are you willing to help me?"
The generals looked at each other, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Resolutely obey the general's orders."
The generals in the tent also felt that this battle was really aggrieved because the Dashi Army's 5,000 heavily armored cavalry suddenly came out from behind the defeated army and killed the Western Qin Army by surprise.
In fact, considering the Western Qin Army's combat qualities, , this kind of imagination that it is too late to respond should not exist.
The factor that hinders Chu Ge from responding in time is the infantry.
The infantry moves slowly, except for the Modao Army.
The infantry was unable to withstand the charge of the heavy armored cavalry.
Fortunately, Chu Ge ordered the Mo Dao Army to quickly pass through the infantry in front, allowing the infantry to retreat.
If there were no infantry to hold back, all the Western Qin Army would be light cavalry.
Under such circumstances, they are not afraid of the heavy cavalry of the Food Army at all.
If they cannot defeat them, they can turn around and retreat in time, and they may even be able to stage a beautiful counterattack.
Chu Ge nodded at the generals' statement and said: "We must learn lessons from the next battle.
We don't have many infantry, and fighting in this kind of terrain will not play a big role.
This time it is because the infantry dragged behind.
Legs, let the infantry stick to the camp next, I will lead the cavalry to fight, and the generals will go back and make preparations."
"Yes, General" After resting for a day, Chu Ge led 4,000 infantrymen to stick to the camp, led more than 7,000 cavalrymen to fight, and sent people to call for battle at the Walcha Pass.
After Musanna, the guard of Walcha Pass, became a famous general, his ancestor Harris once fought with Khalid, the Sword of God, and served as his deputy general.
Musanna relied on his own bravery and believed that the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty were nothing more than this.
Since he could defeat Chu Ge once, he could defeat Chu Ge a second time, so he led his army out to fight again.
The Walcha Pass is located on a high ground.
Musanna led his army to occupy favorable terrain under the pass.
The attack of the Western Qin Army was quite hindered, and was charged by the iron cavalry of the Great Food Army, so it was defeated.
This time, Chu Ge only brought cavalry, and learned his lesson, and took the initiative to send troops to provoke.
Musanna, who had already formed the formation, immediately sent troops to fight.
Several small groups of cavalry were sent by both sides to test the battle.
The Western Qin army's cavalry skills, combat skills and With his superb skills, the Dashi Army suffered a big loss.
When Musanna saw that the situation was unfavorable, he immediately increased his troops.
Chu Ge was not afraid and also increased his troops.
Finally, with real fire, both sides pressed forward across the board for a decisive battle
