And when his grandson Constans II was at the height of the great Arab invasion in 641, he was only 11 years old.

He had organized a reconquest of lost territory but ultimately failed, and the southern and eastern provinces were seized by the Arabs: the Arab general Amr in 642? Root? Ace seized Egypt and invaded Armenia in 647.

He needed to be on guard against an Arab invasion for a long time. In 655, he took command of the battle at the Battle of Mast, but was defeated by the fleet of Mu'awiyah, the governor of Syria.

But he took advantage of the Arab civil war after 656 (Uthman, the third Arab caliphate?). Ibn? Afan was assassinated. Ali? Ibn? Abby? Talib ascended to the throne as caliph, Mu'awiyah refused to accept it, the two sides engaged in a civil war, and stopped the attack on Constantinople), defeated the Slavs who invaded the Balkans in 658, and launched an offensive against Arabia in the east, followed by peace talks with Mu'awiyah.

This guy also ended badly in the end, and was assassinated by his entourage with a bucket.

According to age, this sad bucket emperor is one year younger than Li Zhi, Li Zhi feels that this guy's life is too bad, and he actually provoked his own anti-heaven existence, which can only doom his tragic life to become more tragic.

If he could, Li Zhi still wanted to help him, for example, to help him defeat the Arabs who deceived people too much, oh no, it should be too much to bully the country.

Of course, the premise is that the emperor must reach an alliance with himself and compensate himself for a huge amount of mental damage.

With this premise, he could even help the Byzantines regain their lost territory from the Arabs.

However, it is said that when the general entered the palace and met the emperor Constans II, he told him about the powerful destructive power of Li Zhi's army, and the seventeen-year-old emperor was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue.

"Are you telling the truth? They have breached our gates? ”

Constans II knew very well that he could still sit on this throne when the empire was in turmoil, and it was all the protection given by the giant city of Constantinople, if someone broke through the gates of Constantinople, it meant that his emperor was likely to sit at the end.

"How's that good?"

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking around the hall, and the sweat on his head was not broken.

The general continued: "The man said that if His Majesty did not go to meet him, he would lead his troops into the city. ”

Now he hesitated in his heart, he thought about whether he should take his beloved concubine to run for his life, who knows if he went out of the city to meet that person, that person would kill him directly.

He thought about it for a moment, he couldn't run away now, the other party's centaurs were just outside the city, and he might not be able to fly out even if he had wings now, unless the whole city fell into chaos.

"You go and invite the Prime Minister, I want to discuss it with him."

Constans II's minister is his own uncle, this person is still very capable, so to speak, Constans II can sit on the throne, his uncle has a large part of the credit, so he is very dependent on his uncle, whenever he faces any major events, the first one wants to discuss with his uncle.

The general did not dare to delay now, otherwise in a long time, if those people attacked the city, they would become sinners of history.

So he ran out of the palace again and took the prime minister into the palace.

After explaining this to his uncle, he asked eagerly, "Uncle, what do you think I should do now?" ”

Constans II's uncle was named Miuka, and his family had a long history, which existed for hundreds of years before the division of Eastern and Western Rome, which means that this family has a history of nearly a thousand years.

Miuka has always been known for being resourceful, and this time he did not disappoint his own nephew, Constans II.

He calmly and objectively analyzed: "Your Majesty don't worry, the other party can easily break through the city gate, if they want to attack the city, there is no need to talk nonsense with us, just attack the city directly, but they didn't do it, it means that they don't want to attack my Constantinople, they should only negotiate with Your Majesty, so Your Majesty is not more panicked, and the minister will accompany you out of the city to negotiate with them." ”

Listening to Muka's analysis, Constans II also settled down in his heart, he was not an idiot to be chosen as the emperor's heir, of course, there will be emperors like idiots who will choose idiots as heirs, which is also proven by history.

He calmed down and thought about what his uncle said, and he gradually agreed with Miuka's statement, thinking that Li Zhi and the others did have an intention against Byzantium, but it was by no means to capture Constantinople, otherwise he would have done it too much.

He knew from the mouth of the general that Li Zhi and they had a mysterious weapon that was many times more powerful than the bow and arrow, and with this weapon that could break through the city gates, even if the entire army and people of Constantinople were dispatched, they might not be the opponent of the other party.

After making a decision in his heart, he let out a long sigh and said: "Then uncle, you can accompany me out of the city, for the sake of my people in Constantinople, I, the emperor, should naturally be sacrificed." ”

He seemed to have completely forgotten the shameful idea that he was still thinking about running away with a woman, and now he was completely transformed into a great emperor who was willing to make any sacrifice for the sake of his people.

In the past, Constantis II always went out of the city with a large number of men and horses, and he was afraid that a flower pot would fall on the side of the road and kill him, but this time he only brought a few people.

This was not because he suddenly possessed a fearless spirit, but he knew in his heart that if the other party wanted to deal with him, then it would be useless to take more people out by himself, and even the most fearless warriors of Byzantium would lose the courage to fight under the threat of that mysterious weapon.

Just when Li Zhi and the others were a little impatient, the monarch of Constans II finally came outside the city.

In the carriage, Constans II saw Li Zhi standing at the front at a glance, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: "This person is so young, I'm afraid it's not much different from himself, but he has such a terrifying army, if he also has such an army, how good it would be, and he no longer has to be afraid of those white turbans." ”

He had some other ideas about this negotiation, such as turning enemies into friends with the other side and asking the other side to help him deal with the Arabs. Read the latest chapter of "Li Zhi's Science and Technology Factory Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
