    Since ancient times, fighting on two fronts has been a taboo for military strategists. There is no great military strategist who does not understand that fighting on two fronts is a serious challenge for the country. From ancient times to the present, there have been very few examples of ultimate victory in two-front operations.  , or in the war between Qin and the Six Kingdoms, there was another example of war against two countries at the same time. It was only after destroying the main forces of the Six Kingdoms in several previous battles that the powerful Qin Empire dared to fight on two fronts.  .  Cao Wei has also fought on two fronts before, and never once allowed Shu Han and Sun Wu to succeed. However, this was when the strength gap between the three aspects was too large. Under the premise of equal strength, such a two-front battle can only be a disaster.  , and even under the premise of internal and external troubles, fighting like this can only accelerate its demise. For example, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army divided into two groups to fight against the Manchus and Li Zicheng. Neither route succeeded. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty perished. For two-front battles,  This kind of thing was unimaginable to the Tang Dynasty before that grassland annihilation war.  Although after winning both the Grassland Annihilation War and the Liaodong Counterattack, Datang already had the foundation and experience to fight on two fronts at the same time, but this time the situation is different. This time, the two fronts are fighting.  Once openly, the other covertly.  On the surface, it is actually easy to understand. A large-scale uprising broke out in Persia. Just as Suning expected, because of Isam's hateful behavior, the Persian nobles suffered huge losses. Even the army  The other side also suffered varying degrees of profit losses. Issam offended Persian officials and military officers, large and small, but had no intention of stopping. When attacking civilian officials, the military generals were just looking for a good show.  position, did not help, but after taking care of the civil servants, Issam immediately attacked the generals.  It caught everyone off guard and a large number of people died.  The little emperor was extremely dissatisfied with this. After Isam became the chief advisor of the advisory group, he ignored the emperor's dignity and prestige and took advantage of the emperor's trust and gratitude to exclude dissidents on a large scale.  He attacked his former political opponents and those who had attacked him. He combined a group of military officers and civilian officials as helpers and deposed many civilian officials. On the grounds of corruption and dereliction of duty, he killed seventeen or eight civil servants and consultants who had committed the most heinous crimes.  Other members of the group seemed completely unconcerned with the consequences and direct impact.  If this was not enough for the little emperor to attack him completely, then Isam completely abolished the exorbitant taxes and tried to negotiate a truce with the Roman Empire and decided to make amends.  Then the decision to cede part of the territory completely ignited the little emperor's anger towards Issam. Only one month after he did this, the little emperor felt that his money was not enough. The income and living standards of the court plummeted. The little emperor was originally  He wanted to entrust the government affairs to Issam so that he could have a good rest. As a result, Issam directly interfered in the emperor's life.  He actually canceled a concubine selection event, which made the little emperor dissatisfied.  Three months later.  All the civil and military officials in the imperial court, big and small, wrote to the little emperor, saying that if Issam's position as chief advisor was not abolished, they would resign collectively to express their protest and anger.  The little emperor's patience with Issam has reached its limit.  He killed so many civil servants and generals, which made the little emperor feel extremely uneasy. Various forces denounced Issam, so the little emperor finally decided to come forward and personally question what Issam was planning to do.  The result of the meeting was that the little emperor finally couldn't hold back his anger and ignored the old friendship.  He personally ordered Issam to be put on death row and executed every day. It is said that Issam said a lot about the fall of the Persian Empire, saying that if he did not do what he said, the fall of Persia would be imminent.  , I am making a last-ditch effort to save the Persian state. Why doesn¡¯t His Majesty the Emperor understand?  If those treacherous ministers want to resign, just let them resign, then kill them all and replace them with a group of honest officials. Only then will Persia be saved!  The little emperor was so furious that he personally ordered Issam to be dismissed from his post and sent to death row. It is said that when Issam was sent to death row, he just laughed loudly and then cried. People who didn't know thought he was crazy.  But after that, corrupt officials felt much safer. Those who should be corrupt continued to be corrupt, and those who should oppress good people continued to oppress good people. They didn't feel bad at all.  There is only one kind of person who thinks this is not good - good people who are bullied.  They felt that the four months when Issam presided over government affairs were the most promising, and the only four months in the past ten years that they could take a breather. Issam abolished exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, cleaned up corrupt officials on a large scale, and cut off a  Another head was killed, one corrupt official after another was killed. The people of Persia finally felt that someone was fighting for them, working hard for their good life and future. They felt very moved and very happy. Many people regarded Issa as  Mu regarded him as his savior and prayed for him in various ways. ?Issam implemented benevolent policies, promoted suppressed honest officials and reformist representatives to preside over government and military affairs, gathered a group of his own people, comprehensively set things right, and comprehensively dealt with the unjust, false and wrong cases caused by more than ten years of chaos.  Rehabilitate, seize the time to deal with one thing after another, non-stop reforms, abolish tyranny, punish local tyrants, etc., racing against time, Issam himself also set a record of not sleeping for three days and three nights.  Because Isam himself knew that what he had done was just a last-ditch effort. It was very likely that he would be dismissed from his post and imprisoned by the little emperor soon, and those guys would not allow him to live well. Those good partners and  Good friends risked their lives to help me. Their safety is also a problem. I will make my last effort for Persia. If I can succeed, I must resist the invasion of the Tang army. If not, then just become a spy.  There was no hope for him anymore. In order to save the lives of his good friends, the only way to go was to surrender to Datang.  This is the only way negotiated with the Tang Dynasty. But now, the only last effort has failed. The last attempt to save Persia has also failed. There is no other way. Persia is about to perish, and he That¡¯s why he  There will be laughter and tears, but those who win will not be surprised by it, only amused.  They will feel very happy. They have finally destroyed the most terrifying enemy. This enemy has killed many of them and has always been a thorn in their side. These people have wanted to attack them for a long time. Issam knows that as long as he  Once you lose your official position.  The lives of those good brothers are also difficult to protect.  Really, it was completely expected by that terrible Tang Dynasty, there was no mistake at all, not a single mistake, it was exactly like this, not bad at all It's really sad The public's response to Issam's dismissal  The reaction was very violent. They saw with their own eyes that the officials who stood up for them were arrested and dismissed one by one, and the tyranny and exorbitant taxes abolished by Isam were restored.  High taxes and severe military service reappeared, corrupt officials returned here, the originally clear world became turbid again, the reformists were wiped out, and the conservatives regained the upper hand. It only took four months.  In this way, Issam, the leader of the reform and liberal faction, lost all his power and personal freedom, and was placed on death row, ready to be executed at any time.  The world has once again returned to the era of chaotic demons, and the anger of the Persians is building up little by little.  Finally, seven days later, after the date when Issam and more than 170 reformist officials, large and small, were announced to be beheaded, this emotion was ignited.  "Boom" exploded.  In Issam's hometown, the first rebel army rose up. Under the banner of "Go to the prison and rescue Issam," they mobilized a force of more than 1,000 "Issam's children" and attacked them in one fell swoop.  They invaded the local government, killed officials and part of the garrison, and seized weapons.  He released all the captured young men, incorporated them into the rebel army, and killed them in the direction of the imperial capital.  I don¡¯t know how many people responded along the way, and then hundreds of rebel armies of different sizes appeared in the north, south, west, and east of the empire, with only one goal: to reach the imperial city and rescue Issam.  , punish corrupt officials, let Issam reorganize the government, and give them a bright and clear life.  The little Persian emperor and officials finally panicked. Facing the mighty rebel army with millions of people, they never expected that the Persian civilians who were easy to bully and had always swallowed their anger actually rose up to resist, and quickly captured a large number of towns and areas.  In less than ten days, an eastern province declared its entire territory lost. The reason for the fall was simple. Everywhere the rebels arrived, the local people came together to help. They drove away the defenders and opened the city gates. The rebels quickly captured the city and opened warehouses.  food, the army that killed corrupt officials and accomplices, etc., so its military strength continued to grow, and finally became a serious problem for the Persian government.  They never expected that because of one Issam, the entire country's administration would collapse. Their rule would be in jeopardy. The people who used to be as docile as sheep and easy to bully would collectively turn into ligers. The tyrants from all over the country, as well as those  All the officials' mansions were destroyed, their families, men, women, and children were all killed. All the money obtained was divided equally, and the rest was used to reorganize the military. These people did not seem to be a simple mob.  They would also conduct a psychological offensive against the army, especially the infantry. Infantrymen who were oppressed by civilians were easily persuaded by them to join the rebel army. A small number of cavalry could not deal with the furious rebel army. Dozens of hurriedly sent out  The army that went out to quell the chaos was completely wiped out. The little emperor was so frightened that he fell off his seat and passed out. There was a chaos in the court. Everyone reenacted the scene of the invasion of the Tang Dynasty army. This time, they  I was really ready to run away without even thinking about it.?Look for Isam to be your scapegoat again If Isam comes out, that's okay.  The little emperor was confused and was planning to release Issam again. At worst, he could put in some good words and let him clean up the mess. As a result, a group of officials who had not left gathered around the little emperor and talked about what the rebels were talking about.  The reason for this is because they are all coming to save Issam. We only need to use Issam to threaten them and say that if they dare to advance again, we will kill Issam. In this way, we can definitely stop the advance of the rebel army.  Footsteps, buying time for us to prepare for confrontation.  The little emperor was so frightened that he couldn't do anything. Hearing what they said, he did so. He also felt that since he and Isam were already at odds with each other, even if they were released again, what if Isam cheered up?  What should I do if I overthrow myself?  So he asked people to bring Issam out of the death row, and sent his own troops to guard him. He was going to use Issam to threaten the rebels and not allow them to get closer to the imperial capital. Finally, he would use Issam to wait for the strongest combat effectiveness.  The border guards rushed back and killed Issam to avoid future troubles.  Isam finally gave up on the little emperor. Looking at the little emperor's distorted face, all the past was shattered. He shed his last tears, then strengthened his confidence and laughed in response to the little emperor's rebuke. The little emperor was  Isam's attitude made him feel anxious, but he still planned to use Isam one last time to buy himself some time.  But the little emperor didn't know that this smart move actually accelerated his own doom, because they completely forgot that the Tang Dynasty had designated Issam to be the only representative of the exchanges between the two sides. No one except Issam  I don¡¯t recognize this issue of principle (To be continued) Nine Hundred and Eighty Two Fronts (Part 1:
