In the era of cold weapons, being attacked by the air force was an unsolvable problem, because in cold weapon wars, victory often required relying on the advantage of numbers.
If they fled separately, they would eventually collapse under the enemy's pursuit, so the enemy chose to return to the city and make plans.
Out of consideration for the Persian people in the city, Wang Zhen and Bilus did not choose to burn the city, which also gave the other side a glimmer of hope.
The next day, the other party sent envoys to negotiate again. Their only request was for a safe evacuation. As long as they were allowed to take their personal armor and horses, as well as enough food and fodder, the rest could be left behind.
This is the other party's bottom line. If they don't agree, then both sides will perish together. They know that they cannot win by fighting, but when people are desperate, they can destroy the entire city, regardless of the people in the city or everything else.
Wang Zhen didn't care about it. After careful consideration, Bilus agreed to the other party's conditions and allowed most of them to evacuate first.
After another day, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the enemy began to evacuate, leaving behind 10,000 troops to continue defending the city.
If you have the time, you can find something to do and earn a little extra money. Moreover, the cloth produced in large workshops is not only strong and durable, but also comes in a variety of colors.

Wang Zhen looked at Bilus and nodded in appreciation, a rare smile on his face, and said, "It's good that you think this way. You have basically reached the standard of a great governor of the Tang Dynasty."
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "The number of people is indeed a little small, but the territory is large enough. When the children have their own families and careers in a few years, the number of people will naturally increase. At most, there will be two or three generations, which will form a big village, right? Although these people do not pay taxes directly to Your Majesty, as long as they buy and sell things, aren't they also paying some taxes to Your Majesty in disguise?
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It was I who lost my composure."
After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he stared at the red plums in the yard in a daze. Li Zhi smiled and said, "These plums have just turned red, are you planning to taste them, Chief Steward?"
Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, there are rumors in the market that the prince is not the queen's son. I think this is a bit exaggerated."
Bilus sighed and laughed, "I learned all this from you. Your Yuzhou clan emphasizes putting people first. As long as the people become prosperous, the country will naturally become strong.
These large workshops naturally needed to pay taxes. Therefore, although the border areas did not pay taxes to Li Zhi, as long as things were bought and sold, Li Zhi still had money to collect. After all, the demand was great, and the large workshops would naturally pay more taxes.
Farmers now know that after selling cotton, linen and silkworm cocoons, they can buy cloth to make clothes, or buy ready-made clothes directly, instead of spinning and weaving cloth themselves.
Li Zhi asked curiously, "The chief steward has become detached from the world. I wonder what has caused him to be so detached? How about telling me so that I can be surprised too?"
Only by doing these things well can Persia gradually become stronger. If Persia can become as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, then whether it wants to retaliate against the enemy will depend on its own mood, right?
After years of development, although the Tang Dynasty's commerce has not yet entered the industrial age, it has already transformed from a small peasant economy to large workshops.
"oh?"
As a result, more and more tribes wanted to incorporate themselves into the Tang Dynasty. After all, as long as they were incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, students from Yuzhou would immediately come to them for training, and there would be people to make decisions for them. Their lives would immediately get better, at least much better than when they were living like savages before.
These guys didn't dare to act recklessly within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so they could only use their methods on the tribes surrounding the Tang Dynasty. For example, they pretended to be merchants and used glass balls and other worthless things to cheat people.
Li Zhi sighed and said, "With the ability of the chief steward, he should understand that these are just rumors against rumors, just some rumors spread by ignorant people. Why should the chief steward worry about it?"
The top priority now is to put Persia’s internal affairs first. The enemy was driven out of Persia, but the mountains and rivers left behind are devastated.
Many people need medical treatment, many buildings need to be repaired, fields need to be recultivated, cattle and sheep need to be re-raised. There are so many things that Bilus needs to do, and any one of them is more important than revenge on the enemy.
Five days later, the remaining 10,000 troops left the city in fear under the watchful eyes of the Persians.
Among them, necessities such as cloth, salt and iron have huge demand, so the technology has developed particularly fast. The technological advantages and mass production of large workshops have completely squeezed out small workshops and homemade products of farmers.
Like the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for the country to invade. The power of the people assimilated the surrounding nations. Others cried out to be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, but it all depended on whether our emperor and ministers were willing. "
If they fail to deceive, they may resort to burning, killing and looting. Under such circumstances, life will naturally become difficult for those small tribes.
Wang Zhen and Perrus did not attack them, but let them leave Persia. After all, revenge would not benefit Persia's situation at all except for adding a little psychological comfort.
Li Zhi picked up the memorial on the table and took a look at it, then put it down and said to Wang Zheng with a smile, "The number of villages in the border areas has increased quite fast recently.
"Can you ask your disciples to report fewer villages? Small villages with only a dozen or even dozens of households can be merged with other places."
The enforcement of Tang laws became increasingly strict, which allowed the people in the Tang Dynasty to live a very stable life. However, no matter what era, there will always be some cunning people who don't want to do things properly.
Rumors are spreading. Previously there were rumors that were unfavorable to Wu Zetian, and now there are rumors that are unfavorable to Li Xian. The situation in Chang'an has become more and more delicate, and people's hearts have become more and more unstable.
I just don’t know who will be unlucky in the end and who will benefit much from it.
In fact, the most critical thing is Li Zhi's health. If he keeps dragging on like this, I'm afraid a lot of trouble will arise.
Wang Zheng was powerless to do anything about it.
Wang Zheng couldn't even persuade Li Zhi too much, otherwise if Li Zhi thought that Wang Zheng was on Li Xian's side, given Li Zhi's current sensitivity, the Yuzhou faction would definitely be in big trouble.
