"Waste, a bunch of waste......"
Constans II was furious as he looked at the generals who had rolled back from his few Syrian fronts, "you want military expenses, and I will give them; You want good armor and good horses, and I bought them for you from the broken leaves; You will eat and drink, and I will not be missing yours; I have almost emptied the treasury and the inner government, smashed the pot and sold iron to support you, and this is how you repay my support???
”"Your Majesty....."
Several generals lowered their heads and looked dejected, "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Massoud's deception, we could have taken Bergua...."
After a long time, Phocas, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Eastern Roman Empire army, said stubbornly."
Fraud?
Phocas, I ask you, I gave you well-trained Dark Devil cavalry, and that's how you use it?
”Not to mention that it's okay to perform, as soon as he said Constans II, he was angry, "Don't think that I don't understand military affairs, my brother-in-law wrote to me that heavy cavalry like the Black Devil Cavalry has to impact the enemy's weak parts, and can't do the thing of eggs touching stones, but how do you use the Black Devil Cavalry?"
”When Phocas heard this, he bowed his head deeply, what could he say, if it weren't for the stubbornness of this thing, like two fools, he used his precious heavy cavalry to attack the spear phalanx of the Persians who had been guarded for a long time, and the Battle of Beeroa launched by Constans II would not have been so miserable.Don't blame Constans II for being angry, originally because of the death of Kavad II in Persia, the political situation was in turmoil, he wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to recapture Syria and Jerusalem in one go, so he sent out the new imperial army that he had done his best to build, but he didn't expect that Phocas was a waste, and almost wasted all his blood, if it weren't for the black devil cavalry led by Herat to stop the Persian undead army, then I'm afraid that now Massoud will come back to the siege of Constantinople."
Phocas, if it weren't for the many contributions you have made to the Empire, I would have killed you with a knife...."
Constans II looked at Phocas with sparks in his eyes, "You retire....."
The Phocas family was one of the major warlord families in the Eastern Roman Empire, and Constans II had long been dissatisfied with them, so he took advantage of this incident to weaken them."
Herat.
Papin, from today onwards, you are the marshal of the Imperial Army......
"Having taken the position of Phocas, Constans II quickly replaced himself with his own man, this Herat.
Papin was Bataat's father, and if he hadn't led the Black Devil cavalry to fight to the death, the Eastern Roman Empire's army would have suffered even heavier losses."
Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say.....
Herat.
After taking the throne, Papin said to Constans II, "Although our army uses the equipment of the Broken Leaf allies, our military thinking is still stuck in the time of Justinian the Great......
I interrogated one of the Persian captives, and he said that when our Dark Devil cavalry first appeared on the battlefield, they were also very scared, but when I charged, their commander immediately judged that we were too far behind the real Dark Devil cavalry..... so I wondered if we could get a few cavalry advisors from Broken Leaf with a high salary...""
Yes, I said it a long time ago, but he didn't listen to that stubborn old Phocas....."
Constans II said depressedly, "We must admit that we are lagging behind the British in military affairs..... there is no shame in learning from the strong....."
Just when the Eastern Roman Empire, under the leadership of Constans II, intended to build an English-style army that completely imitated the Broken Leaf side; The situation on the Persian side is still very chaotic, Patiztus set himself up as king in the city of Negai, and Bayesset and Rustam and Massoud on the Ctesiphon side are arguing endlessly about which prince will ascend the throne, because Bayezid has received an order from Li Lu, and Ctesiphon cannot settle down, only if it is chaotic, Broken Leaf has the opportunity to meddle in Ctesiphon."
Tell me, Bayesset, why are you against Prince Shapur?
He is the eldest son of the first emperor, and it is only natural for him to inherit the throne of Shahansha....."
Rustam said with red eyes.Before Bayesset could finish speaking, Massoud, who had just returned from the victory, suddenly said, "Old Prime Minister, it is true that Prince Shapur is the eldest son of the first emperor, but he is only eight years old and is still a child, does this mean that you have a chance to hold power in your hands?"
I'm against making this little baby a shahansha, he doesn't understand anything.....""
General Massoud is very serious, and the reason why I oppose it is also for this reason.," Bayezette stroked his beard and agreed with him, "Prince Isai is about to reach adulthood, and he is also the eldest of His Majesty Koslao's children in the ......""
Is'e?
You say that little fat man doesn't know anything else except eating and drinking?
No, no...."
Massoud, who surprised Bayezet, still gave a negative vote."
And who do you say you should appoint?"
Rustam and Bayesset looked at Massoud together, "If you want me to say, let's help the eldest princess of Atosha to the throne, let her be a female Shahansha for a while, and then abdicate when Prince Shapur grows up..."
The two old foxes exchanged glances, and just as they were about to express their opinions, the guards ran into the council hall with a clatter."
The rebels of Patiztus are only a day's journey from Ctesiphon....."
The guard said urgently."
Huh?"
The three bigwigs, you look at me, I look at you, they quickly made a decision to solve the common enemy Partiztes first, although Partiztes had the support of the Bedouins, but they were not comparable to the elite cavalry led by Massoud, plus Partiztes's strategy was not Massoud's opponent, Massoud just used a method to lure the enemy deeper, Partiztes was tricked, and he paid the price for his rashness, that is, his life.After quelling the rebellion of Patiztus, Rustam, Bayezid, and Massoud quarreled again over who could sit in Shahansha's seat, this time they quarreled even more, and the three parties refused to give in to each other, and in the end, there was an armed conflict, and the old man who was the first to do it, the old man planned to forcibly put Shapur on the throne, so as to create an established fact.But what the old Rustam didn't expect was that the other two factions had already taken precautions, they stopped Rustam's attempt, and there was a scuffle above, Massoud had the upper hand with the elite army transferred back from Syria, and he put his lover Atosha, the eldest princess of Persia, on the throne of the Persian empress, and immediately appointed his lover Massoud as the prime minister of the empire, and at the same time served as the prince regent, and was in full charge of the military and political power of Persia.However, although Massoud's faction temporarily put Atosha on the throne of the Persian empress with great force, Rustam was able to get the help of the governor of Egypt, Amr.
With the support of Kalanica, he took the little prince Shapur to Alexandria, Rustam and Amre.
Karaniga embraced Shapur as the new Shahansha; As for Bayesset, it was much simpler, the Persian Plateau was the old nest of their line, and after Bayesset and Kumaji brought Is'ai to the city of Spakhand (later Isfahan), they also put Is'ai in the seat of Shahanshah here, and the Persian Empire, which was good-natured, was divided into three at once.The three Persian empires all considered the other two to be heretics and rebellions, and they all believed that they were the most authentic successors of the Persian Empire, and the Persian Empire was divided at once, which gave the Eastern Roman Empire, which had been greatly injured in the previous Battle of Bereloa, a chance to recuperate, and also gave Li Lu the opportunity to intervene in the two river valleys.Among the three Persian empires, the South Persian Empire in North Africa and the West Persian Empire in the two river basins were relatively rich, and only the East Persian Empire in Span was relatively poor, but Bayesat Kumaji and others, who actually controlled the military and political power of East Persia, said that we were not worried, because we had godfathers......
That's right, unlike the other two Persian empires, there are people behind Eastern Persia, and the Bayesid group is without exception Li Lu's Persian dark line, which means that the Persian Plateau has actually become Li Lu's sphere of influence.As soon as they established power in Spahan, Bayezid announced that he would revoke the oppression of the Mazdak believers, and invited Zaladuster, the spiritual leader of the Mazdak, to Sparhan, and on the other hand, he sent Kumaji, the second in his clique, to Broken Leaf to ask for a plan of action for the next step."
Your Majesty, we have taken a tentative foothold on the Persian plateau in accordance with your instructions, and Bayezet has asked you what we should do next?"
After meeting Li Lu, Kumaji immediately reported their results to Li Lu and asked what to do next."
Well, you guys did a good job, I'm very satisfied...."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li Lu said with a smile, can you be dissatisfied, this is equivalent to saying that you can take the Persian Plateau without a single shot, and from here you can go straight down to the two river valleys, "Kumaji, your main task now is to hold the Persian Plateau......
And then there's going to be the initial social reforms, well, I'm going to give you extra help....""
Whoa!"
As a system person, Kumaji's request to Li Lu is naturally unconditionally obedient, "But, Your Majesty, Massoud has put too much pressure on us, and those local Azatan are not very convinced of us......
Lord Bayezet means that you can send some troops over and station, Your Majesty....."
Hehehe, for this request made by East Persia, of course Li Lu will not refuse.
