What if the Sassanids Retook Persia? | Alternate History

In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the Sassanids managed to escape to Tang China and launch a reconquista of sorts to reclaim their land and reinstitute Zoroastrian hegemony? Would the Chinese be able to help them reclaim their homeland? Will the Sassanians join forces with the Byzantine Empire? Or will Byzantium and the Sassanids both fall to the Caliphate?
