The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

After Li Chengdao decided to conquer the Byzantine Empire westward, he began to mobilize troops early.

Troops are continuously transported to the Gulf Stream waters of Tianzhu by sea. So far, more than 300,000 troops have been stationed in the Gulf Stream waters.

On the land occupied along the coast of the Byzantine Empire, there were also 200,000 Tang expeditionary troops stationed.

Heraclius' prediction was indeed good. Marching to the Byzantine Empire from land would take more than four months at the earliest.

However, it would take three months to transport troops to the Byzantine Empire by sea.

However, in order to prevent the increase in troops from attracting the attention of the Byzantine Empire, the troops transported during this period have been stationed on the coastal border of Tianzhu, that is, in the Gulf Stream area.

After the Shadow Guards successfully provoked civil strife in the Byzantine Empire, Han Xin immediately ordered the mobilization of the army to launch a full-scale attack on the Byzantine Empire.

The front line was far away from Datang Road, and it would take a lot of time to send the news back. As the commander-in-chief, he had full decision-making power.

Under Han Xin's order, the army was divided into two groups, one landing on the Byzantine Empire from the sea, and the other crossing the border from Tianzhu to attack the border.

Not only that, after receiving the news, Tianzhu and Persia also sent their own troops to help Datang.

This time they are not sending troops in a pretentious manner as before, but they are really going to help Datang defeat the Byzantine Empire!

The three kingdoms all went to war against the Byzantine Empire, and the war began!

……

The riots have reached a serious stage.

Civilians and slaves revolted across the Byzantine Empire. The scale of the riots spread to major cities, and the number of rioters reached millions.

I don't know how many nobles were torn to pieces by the angry civilians and slaves. Some of the soldiers sent to suppress them were killed by the people who had seized the weapons, and many more chose to surrender directly.

The most terrible thing is that all the 200,000 soldiers forced by Heraclius have rebelled and are attacking Constantinople together with the rioting people everywhere.

All of this means that this huge empire is now on the verge of collapse.

……

Constantinople, Royal Palace.

If it weren't for the emperor's personal guards stationed in the royal capital, the riot might have spread to Constantinople.

In the palace, since the riot, Heraclius locked himself in the palace and drank wine every day to drown his sorrows.

When Cecil arrived at the palace, the palace was in a mess, and Heraclius, smelling of alcohol, fell into the mess.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Cecil stepped forward and gave Heraclius a gentle push.

Hearing Cecil's call, Heraclius opened his eyes tiredly. After seeing the person standing in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but smile: "Ce, Cecil... why didn't you leave?"

After the domestic riots, news came that the armies of Tang, Persia, and Tianzhu had entered the Byzantine Empire. Therefore, many nobles and ministers chose to flee with their jewelry, not wanting to stay and wait to die.

Except for a few nobles, the noble force represented by Cecil is one of them.

After hearing Heraclius's words, Cecil said seriously: "I, the Galion family, have been loyal to the royal family for generations and will definitely accompany His Majesty until the last moment!"

"The last minute? It's the last minute now. You'd better go."

Heraclius raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and said with a sneer.

From the moment the news of the domestic riots came, he knew that the empire was over. This hidden danger that had been buried for hundreds of years was finally detonated, and it came so quickly and so strongly.

There is no hope now.

After hearing what Heraclius said, Cecil said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we still have one hundred thousand guards and a lot of wealth! We only need to retreat temporarily, and there will be a chance to come back in the future!"

"Your Majesty, do you just want to give up? The empire cannot end like this!"

Cecil couldn't believe that Heraclius was just going to give up like that.

Heraclius shook his head calmly and said: "No, we have no chance. We have completely lost."

"I'm afraid this riot was also the work of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He caused this hidden danger in our empire to break out in advance."

"Look at the name of their dispatch of troops this time, with the slogan of liberating the people and slaves ruled by our empire, don't you understand? We have no chance."

"Even the people of our own country don't support us, so what's the need to persist?"

Heraclius was completely disheartened. This was the first time he felt so hopeless. He didn't even know what reason he had to persist.

"His Majesty……"

Cecil hesitated. He wanted to continue to persuade Heraclius, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Because Heraclius told the truth, even the people of their own country did not support them, and they had no chance.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do? If you choose to fight to the end, our Galion family will definitely follow you to the death!"

Cecil said seriously.

Heraclius was silent for a moment, then stood up unsteadily from the ground and said, "No, I will not die here. I will surrender when the Tang army arrives."

"Before I die, I want to go to the distant Tang Dynasty to see the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Mars said, to meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and to see what kind of enemy I was defeated by. !”

There was a strong reluctance in Heraclius's voice. He was not willing to fail and die like this, so even if he put down his dignity and surrendered, he still wanted to go to the Tang Dynasty to have a look!

Cecil fell silent upon hearing this, lowered his head, and finally said nothing.

……

In 643 BC, General Han Xin of the Tang Dynasty led an expedition against the Byzantine Empire. Wherever the army passed, the Byzantine Empire's rebels all surrendered.

On May , the Tang Expeditionary Army arrived at the gates of Constantinople, the capital of Byzantium, and the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius led his troops out of the city and surrendered.

At this point, the Byzantine Empire fell.

This is the beginning of the prosperous age of world unification. ..
