Chapter 65 Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter
When Justinian heard this last news, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What are they doing at Hangu Pass?" ”
The news from the Turks was only known, and did not give a satisfactory answer.
Justinian, however, could not ignore it.
They Byzantium forced the Arab Empire to hold on, and they did not think anything wrong about the Western Regions.
I came to Chang'an because I learned that the old enemy Arabia sent Mosley Massa to the Tang Dynasty, so I moved the mind to make friends with the Tang Dynasty.
Because they were worried that the Arabs and the Tang Dynasty would join forces and deal with them and the Turgish respectively.
Restricting the relationship between Arabia and the Tang Dynasty is his first priority here.
After many days in Chang'an, Justinian found that he didn't need to contribute much at all, the Arabs were ambitious, and the Tang Dynasty also had Top Ambitions.
There is bound to be a layer of estrangement between the Tang Dynasty and Arabia.
There is a great deal of conflict of interest between them. Each other is cautious and guarded against each other. So much so that it feels like coming out to play, and the task is to be relaxed.
Now Pei Min and Mosley Massa have inexplicable correspondence and go to Hangu Pass together, which makes Justinian feel strongly uneasy.
Along the way, Justinian already had a certain understanding of the surroundings of Chang'an.
Especially when passing by the Dasan Pass, Justinian also knew from the guide why Guanzhong was called Guanzhong and why the Tang Dynasty was set to be Chang'an.
The four major passes of Donghan Valley, Xisanguan, Nanwu Pass, and Beixiao Pass protect Chang'an in Guanzhong and control the strategic location.
Pei Min took Mosley Massadong to Hangu Pass, which was by no means a good sign.
Justinian walked back and forth for more than ten steps, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and waved his hand to ask him to find out what Pei Min and Mosley Massa were doing in Hangu Pass.
With little difficulty, Justinian got the news: Pei Min invited him to see the demolition of Hangu Pass.
Because Hangu Pass has been in disrepair for a long time, there is a section of the wall foundation that needs to be repaired.
This proposal was put forward many years ago, but because the world was peaceful, Hangu Pass was of little significance.
Li Longji wanted to use the labor funds for the repair of Hangu Pass, but he never agreed.
Now, it's time!
The first moment Justinian learned the news, the whole person was stupid, his face was pale and bloodless, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly like his previous son!
He's scared!
I'm really scared!
He didn't know how strong the real strength of the Tang Dynasty was, but he had witnessed the horror of the Arab Muslim army.
A warrior with faith, who does not care about life and death, is as terrible as a group of evil spirits from hell.
Arabia has not existed for a long time, just over a hundred and ten years!
The Islamic prophet Muhammad began to spread Islam in Mecca at the behest of Allah, and Muhammad single-handedly gathered a group of indigenous tribes and gradually formed an army that had always believed in Allah.
The hegemon of the West at that time was Persia, it was Byzantium!
Persia has the same historical heritage as China, but the Sassanid Empire of Persia has a particularly vast territory, controlling a territory of more than 10 million miles.
The same is true of Byzantium, which officially rose to prominence after the division of ancient Rome, known as the Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantium, with its rich heritage, includes Italy, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, the Caucasus, the southern coast of Spain and the Mediterranean coast of North Africa.
In this way, in just a hundred years, the two ancient countries and the great powers have made the weak Arab Empire one against two.
By now Persia had destroyed Arabia, and Byzantium had lost half of its land.
Throughout the 100-year history, Byzantium and Arabia have faced each other many times head-to-head, and they have never won and lost completely.
The only individual wins were because of the water war, because of the Greek fire.
To put it mildly, Byzantium scared the Arabs.
In particular, the lion king Mosley Massa directly swept all the Byzantine armies in Western Europe and North Africa, including Syria and Egypt, making Byzantium, an ancient power, lose face.
Whether the Byzantines were emperors or ministers and nobles, they knew one thing in their hearts.
The capital of the country, Constantinople, was their last line of defense, and once Constantinople fell, Byzantium would lose everything.
With the formidable strength of the Arabs, once they lost Constantinople, the capital fortress that strangled the Black Sea and controlled the water communication of Europe and Asia, Byzantium would follow in the footsteps of Persia and have almost no room to fight back.
Constantinople is like the Yangtze River moat in China. As long as the Yangtze River moat is broken, the south is almost facing a sweep, and there is almost no power to return to the sky.
The existence of Constantinople was related to the entire Byzantine Empire......
The Arab Empire dreamed of attacking Constantinople, and Byzantium was united in defending Constantinople with national strength.
If because of his own stupidity, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Union are united, and the Tang Dynasty will teach the Thunder to the Arabians, or with the help of it, help them to blast Constantinople, then he will be a sinner of Byzantium through the ages!
How could Justinian not be afraid!
"Quick! Go to Hangu Pass, take a look at the power of the thunder, and take a look, the danger of Hangu Pass ......"
He roared out heartbreakingly, tears of regret flowed out of his eyes.
"Bang bang bang!"
opened the bow left and right, and gave himself four slaps heavily!
The severe pain calmed down Justinian slightly, and he hurried back to the house, carefully took out a piece of rice paper from the bag, and prepared a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. The Four Treasures of the Study.
At this moment, there is no such product as paper in the West, and most of the things they use to remember things are sheepskins.
As for pen and ink inkstones, the West is not without them.
It's just that it's far from being comparable to Datang, especially Mo. The ink in the West is a metal gallic ink, which is made with a solution of tannins and ferrous sulfate, and has a pungent smell.
Most of the ink in the Tang Dynasty used lamp smoke and pine resin, and some good ink would also add honey, which was sweet and fresh.
This came to the Tang Dynasty, for the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other magical treasures here, Justinian regarded them as treasures and bought a large cart back.
He called his translator and asked him to write it for him.
Seeing that the translator was already holding a pen and waiting for the book, Justinian said in a deep voice: "You write: Sinner Justinian, sincerely beg for His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor......"
He was heartbroken and repented word by word.
The 3,000-word review book is not repeated, and it is touching......
For the sake of the Byzantine Empire, Justinian put out this old face, and with great sincerity, wrote the first review confession of his life.
With the confession in his hand, Justinian came to the Hibiscus Garden, he knew that Li Longji was celebrating with many messengers in this Ziyun Tower, and when he wanted to get close to the Ziyun Tower, he was stopped by the guards.
"Let's go back! His Majesty specially ordered the idle people and others not to enter! ”
