Li You said: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, let's take a step at a time." In any case, the Tang army still has to enter the Angot region, and the big cannibals will not dare to start a war against the Tang Dynasty easily. With Datang as your barrier, at least prevent you from fighting on both sides. ”

Hamid was moved in his heart and said sincerely: "Lao Li, good brother. ”

Late at night, Hamid and the others took their leave.

Mi Huai asked, "Your Highness, the big cannibal is so difficult, why should we get involved in the affairs of the Persians?" Chen was very worried, once he really started a war with the Great Cannibal, the Western Regions were so close to the Great Cannibal, and once they fought, it would be difficult to keep the Western Regions. ”

Qualcomm is also a little frightened by the Arabs now, he said: "Mi is reasonable, we have taken over Angot, the people there are Persians, they are not of the same mind as us, if the big cannibals come over, they will surrender the big cannibals." ”

Baihu had absolute trust in Li You, and he said: "Lord Wang, the little one knows that you must have a reason to do this, you can tell us about it." ”

Why did Li You have to participate in the war between the Persian Empire and the Great Food Empire?

In the early history, the Han nation was extremely strong, especially during the Han and Tang dynasties, and was the largest country in the world at that time. Then it gradually began to go downhill.

Where is the turning point in history?

It was in the 10th year of the Tang Dynasty that after the Tang Dynasty lost the Battle of Talas with the Arabs, the Tang Dynasty stopped its external expansion, and since then, the Han nation has begun to go downhill.

Since then, not only has the territory of the nation been shrinking, but the mentality of the nation has also begun to change.

Prior to this campaign, the Tang Dynasty had ranked first in the world in terms of political, military, GDP, and cultural influence. The people of the Tang Dynasty were proud, open-minded, and looked down on the whole world with a condescending eye.

The history of the aftermath is known to everyone.

The conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Arabs was a clash of two civilizations, a relationship between one and the other.

The Arabs are now on the rise, and no one can stop their rise, all Li You has to do is to prop up the Persian Empire as much as possible, use them to weaken the Arabs, and maintain the advantage of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.

Li Shimin and the ministers of the court were reluctant to clash with the Persians and the Great Cannibals, and it was almost impossible to convince them.

Li You had no choice but to consult with Hamid and tempt them with the land and population of Angot, which led to this expedition to Persia. In order to prevent complications, Li You did not even mention how difficult the Arabs were.

Li You had no intention of going to war with the Arabs, his goal was to make the Arabs run into an iron plate in the East, stop their expansion in the East, and go to the West to harm others, so as to ensure the security of the Tang Dynasty's northwestern frontier and leave an outlet for development to the West. At the same time, the preservation of the Persian Empire also created conditions for the Tang Dynasty to annex the South Asian continent.

However, Li You was ready to fight a war with the Arabs, and they would never stop expanding until they taught the Arabs a harsh lesson that was imposing and over-the-top.

For Qualcomm, Baihu and Mi Huai, Li You couldn't tell them about his strategic thinking, but only told them that helping the Persians was helping the Tang Dynasty to defend the security of the northwest border.

That night, Li You thought about his plan repeatedly and thought about it all.

Early the next morning, Hamid and the others came over for breakfast, and when they saw Li You's refreshed appearance, they suddenly felt hopeful.

Hamid asked, "Lao Li, have you thought of a way?" ”

Li You said confidently: "Lao Ha, just by relying on our brothers to join forces, is there an enemy that can't be defeated?" ”

Hamid has always trusted Li You, and when he saw his heroic appearance, a wave of pride also surged in his heart, and he clenched his fists and said, "Okay, let's brothers fight side by side and do a big job together." ”

Ten days later, Li You and others finally crossed the Green Ridge and came to the territory of Persia.

Qi Wangfu.

Ever since Murong Lingti reminded Wu, she had been thinking about how to find an excuse to find Li You.

In the evening of that day, when she returned home from work, Xiao Wanyu said, "Fourth sister, Brother You has sent a letter." ”

Wu said happily: "Where is the letter, let me see it?" ”

After reading the letter, Wu jumped in surprise. She said, "It's so good that I can go and see the prince." ”

Xiao Wanyu smiled: "This is your wish." ”

Wu said excitedly: "I'll go to the palace." ”

Xiao Wanyu reached out and touched her forehead and smiled: "You, you're dizzy, don't look at what time it is?" ”

Murong Ling said, "Eldest sister, if you let her go, we're going to have dinner." ”

Wu then remembered that it was already dinner time, and it was impossible for her to go to see His Majesty. She smiled and said, "Open dinner, I'm going to drink." ”

Murong Ling smiled and said: "Look at you, my husband named you to go alone, I will walk with you in a few days, go back to Fuqi City, and when you and your husband come back, I will come back with you." ”

Xiao Wanyu understands her character and doesn't want to hurt her sisterhood by stopping her. She said, "It's okay, you two are companions, and I'm relieved." ”

Murong Ling is very arrogant and has a strong personality, even if Xiao Wanyu disagrees, she will also give back to Gu Hun. However, she was also very happy to see that Xiao Wanyu agreed. She said, "Thank you, big sister." ”

Xiao Wanyu was a good person to the end, and said, "Tomorrow I will prepare things for you to use on the road." ”

The next morning, the Liangyi Palace, the study.

Although Wu can't meet Li Shimin without reporting like Li You and the eldest grandson Wuji. However, she can now notify Wang De through the prison guards to request an audience, which can be regarded as a certain privilege.

"Father, His Royal Highness King Qi has written you a recital." Wu said.

Li Shimin took the letter, saw that it was sealed with fire paint, and knew that it was a secret letter, so he said to Wu: "You can sit down." As he spoke, he opened Li You's letter.

In the letter, Li You reported to Li Shimin his judgment of the situation in Persia and the strategy to be adopted, and at the end of the letter, Li You suggested that only the father and son should know about this matter, and there was no need to spread it to the outside world.

The ministers did not understand the situation in Persia, it was troublesome to explain, and besides, people were not interested in things that were thousands of miles away.

Li Shimin is very satisfied with Li You's attitude of burying his head in work and not seeking fame and fortune.

Li You's letter was very long, and Li Shimin took enough time to read the letter after reading a stick of incense.

He stood up, walked over to the map, and checked the names of the places mentioned in the letter.

Li Shimin turned around and said to Wu: "Li You said in the letter that he explained what you were asked to do, just let it go, I will give you a secret decree, and you can directly convey it to the relevant personnel." Also, keep it as confidential as possible. ”

Wu said: "Erchen obeys. Father, the son and son have dealt with the matters explained by His Royal Highness King Qi, and they will leave Chang'an directly, and they will not come to ask you for their resignation. ”

Li Shimin looked at Wu lovingly and said: "Okay, you are all good children, when you see Li You and tell him, just say that his contribution to the imperial court, I will remember it in my heart." ”

Wu said: "Yes, father, the son and son retired." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety on the road, and send someone from the Flying Tiger Army to escort you." ”

"Thank you for your father's death, and your sons have retired." After Wu finished speaking, he left the Liangyi Palace.

Households.

Seeing Wu's visit, Gao Jingming asked directly: "Your Highness, is there any news of His Royal Highness King Qi, when will he come back?" He wanted Li You to stay in Chang'an too much, as long as Li You was there, the life of the household department would be much better.

Wu smiled and said: "Lord Gao, the prince has sent a letter, ask me to say hello to you." ”

Gao Jingming said: "Thank you, Your Highness." You are here today, is there anything for His Royal Highness King Qi to do? ”

Wu said: "Master Gao is keen, and he guessed my intention at once. ”

After speaking, she said solemnly: "Your Majesty's command, please accept the order." ”
