    Samarkand, located in what is now Kazakhstan, is a famous hub city on the Silk Road.  The famous ¡°Silk Road¡± started from Chang¡¯an in the east and reached the Roman Empire in the west. It was the most important golden trade route between the East and the West in ancient times, and promoted exchanges between the East and the West.  When the Silk Road was blocked, the East and the West could no longer trade. Westerners sailed in order to obtain Chinese silk, tea and Indian spices. This is why the Age of Discovery prevailed.  Throughout the entire Silk Road, no city is as important as Samarkand, because Samarkand connects China and India to the east, the Persian Empire to the south, and the Eastern Roman Empire to the west.  It is such a unique and excellent geographical location that has created the prosperity and strength of Samarkand.  ??Khorazm, the Mongols' Western Expedition, and the Timur Empire all have a great relationship with this city.  The first people to build a city here were the Sogdians. They worked hard and built Samarkand into a beautiful place, making it the pearl of Central Asia.  So, after Alexander the Great conquered this place, he felt very deeply that the rumors he had heard about Samarkand were all true, but the magnificence of Samarkand far exceeded his imagination.  This kind of beauty has changed since the arrival of the Arab Empire¡¯s army.  The early conquests of the Arab Empire were bloody and the places they passed were in ruins. Anyone who did not believe in Allah was a pagan and should die.  When the Arab Empire¡¯s army arrived, the area was hit with bloody misfortune. Countless Sogdians were killed and it was bloody.  "If this were the case, it would not cause Samarkand's prosperity to decline.  The Arab Empire also imposed heavy taxes.  The original endless stream of caravans became sparse.  Especially.  The Arab Empire and the Tang Dynasty were at odds with each other.  The impending war between the two countries made these caravans even more panicked. Many caravans stayed away and did not dare to come to do business.  The most important thing is that the Arab Empire persecuted Tang Dynasty merchants, which caused a sharp decrease in Tang Dynasty merchants. There was a temporary shortage of silk and tea in the Tang Dynasty, and there were even fewer caravans.  The pillar items of the Silk Road are Chinese silk and tea.  Indian spices play only a supporting role.  The sharp decrease of merchants in the Tang Dynasty caused a heavy blow to this golden trade route, and Samarkand was also hit.  "These damn cannibals, they are just a group of blood-sucking and marrow-eating bugs who eat everything. Since their arrival, we have not been able to live a stable life for a day, and our livelihood has become increasingly difficult." "As long as we don't  Those who believe in Allah are all infidels, and we all deserve to die. They are extremely cruel to us, and they will kill us at will." "They are also too cruel to the Tang people's caravans.  If you don't say anything, you will accuse the Tang caravan of being spies and want to kill the Tang people. The Tang caravan is afraid and will not come again. It will take years and months to collect enough silk and tea." "Don't think about it anymore?  If you collect enough, your death will come. The cannibals will not let you go, they will accuse you of being a heretic, kill you, and seize your goods.  Did you do this?¡± The caravan stranded in Samarkand because there was no cargo was very dissatisfied and would scold the Arab Empire every chance it got.  "Why haven't the Tang people called? It would be better if the Tang people called." "Don't talk nonsense. If the Tang people call, something good may not happen." "Even if there is no good thing, can it be worse than now?  ? The cannibals only know how to create, but the Tang people are good at creating. If the Tang people were to come, I bet we would never be as miserable as we are now. " "I agree with this.  The barbarians with their horses and bows only know blood and destruction, but the Tang people are different. They will not be as bloody as the cannibals, who have been running the Western Regions for many years.  "Have you ever heard of the Tang people destroying everything?" "That's not true. From what you say, there's really hope."  You are unreasonable. Even if you don't go against Dashi, he will accuse you of being a heretic and kill you. I would rather live under the rule of the Tang people than be enslaved by the Dashi people." The Tang Dynasty was in the Western Regions.  The prestige of the Tang Dynasty was very high, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was well-known, which made people in the Western Regions yearn for it.  The most important thing is that although the Tang Dynasty's conquests were bloody and murderous, they were not as unreasonable and murderous as the Arab Empire.  "As long as you don't go against the Tang Dynasty, you won't be killed by the Tang Dynasty; but the Arab Empire is different. As long as you don't believe in Allah, you are a heretic and you should die."  ¡°The Sogdians have had enough.  "Rumble!"The sound of the battlefield shaking was heard, like rolling thunder, and its power was astonishing.  "This is" The Sogdian's eyes widened and he looked toward the east where the sound came from, only to see a graceful and smooth black water line coming quickly.  Soon, it became clear that this was a rapidly advancing Tang army.  "Tang Jun! It's Tang Jun! Tang Jun is coming!" "Great. Tang Jun is coming. Our good days are coming." "Yes, yes. Tang people are good at managing things. Under the governance of Tang people, we  There will be good days." The Sogdians looked at the Tang army coming quickly, burst into cheers, and went to greet the Tang army.  Before they had rushed far, the Tang army arrived, passed quickly by them, and headed straight for Samarkand.  The Tang army advanced one team after another without injuring anyone, let alone killing anyone.  The Sogdians, who were used to seeing the bloody rule of the Arab Empire, all had their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.  This is unimaginable for the Sogdians who are used to the bloodshed brought by the Arab Empire.  The Tang army did not hurt or kill anyone. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe it was true.  "Great. The Tang army is indeed better than the cannibals." "Let's welcome the Tang army." Immediately afterwards, the Sogdians were overjoyed and wanted to get close to the Tang army.  The Tang army went straight to the city, making a lot of noise and already alerting the patrolling Arab imperial troops.  "That's the Tang Army." "Tang Army? How could the Tang Army be here?" "Wasn't it blocked by Talas? How could the Tang Army appear here? Could it be that Talas was captured?" "Don't talk nonsense.  Talas is a powerful city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. " "The Tang army has arrived at the city. What do you think?" "It must be a loyal servant of God who captured the Tang army's weapons.  "Tang Jun is having fun." "Open your eyes and look. Those people are real Chinese, with yellow skin and blue eyes. They are not loyal servants of Allah. You can't see clearly, right?"  The * team looked at the Tang army that was coming quickly, and everyone was dumbfounded.  I don¡¯t know why, so there are many speculations.  Talas is very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yusuf had long declared that the Tang army would stop at the gates of Talas.  The soldiers of the Arab Empire had unconditional trust in this wise and great governor, and whatever he said was true.  This resulted in blind confidence. Until the Tang army arrived at the gates of Samarkand, they did not believe it was true.  "Quick, close the city gate." The Arab Imperial Army finally reacted.  Want to close the city gate.  However, it was too late.  The Tang army rushed to the city like a gust of wind.  Team after team rushed into the city.  "Those who are enemies of the Tang Dynasty will die!" Yang Sixu, riding on a tall horse, loudly ordered: "Big food dogs, leave no one behind!" This was an order to massacre. After the Tang army entered the city, they started killing the Arab emperor*  The * team carried out a massacre.  Yes, this is a massacre, a one-sided massacre.  The Tang Army arrived suddenly and caught the Arab Imperial Army stationed here by surprise. They had no time to react and were rushed to the front by the Tang Army, unable to resist.  There is nothing to say about the Arab Imperial Army, just kill them.  The Tang army attacked with great ferocity and sharpness, killing people like rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.  The Sogdians saw this and were frightened.  "Who says Tang Jun is not ruthless enough? Look, they are extremely fierce when killing, and they show no mercy at all." "Yes, Tang Jun is so powerful." "Good kill! Tang Jun, good kill! These hateful and hateful people  The big eater deserves to die." "Let's help Tang Jun? Did you make a mistake? What if Tang Jun also killed us?" "You didn't hear clearly?  Those who are enemies of the Tang Dynasty will be killed. If we are not enemies of the Tang Dynasty, why would the Tang army kill us?  Guy, join the hunt.  At this moment, the Arab imperial troops are like rats crossing the street, in a panic. No matter how they escape, they will be caught out and killed.  This massacre lasted for half a day and then ended.  "Thank you for your help." Yang Sixu rode a tall horse and came to the Sogdians. He thanked the Sogdians and said, "Don't worry, we are not you."enemies, we are here to rescue you.  Datang knows that you are under the iron heel of the great cannibal and are in dire straits. It is our responsibility to save you from hanging upside down.  " "Long live the Tang Dynasty!  "The Tang Dynasty was already very prestigious in Central Asia. Otherwise, the Persian Empire would not have asked for help from the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Tang army had strict orders and only killed those who were enemies of the Tang Dynasty and did not fight against the Tang Dynasty.  Not killing any of the enemies won their favor, and they cheered in unison: "Don't worry, Datang will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.  As long as you don't become an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, don't oppress the people, and don't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, everything will be fine.  "After Yang Sixu finished speaking his encouraging words, his face sank and he said coldly: "If anyone dares to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Cannibal will be their role model.  " "Don't worry, Tang Army, we will never be enemies with the Tang Dynasty.  "The Sogdians hurriedly expressed their stance. "General, these are the accounts seized from the Grand Chef's Mansion. There are really many.  "A Tang Army general who was handling the paperwork came quickly and handed a thick pile of accounts to Yang Sixu. "So many?  "Yang Sixu took it in his hand and took a look, his eyes almost fell down, he looked dumbfounded.
