Chapter 308: The Covenant from Bolgar and Cuman (1)
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonian is old and insane, but that doesn't mean he's a fool.
Basil. Macedonia was quick to think about the consequences, and he didn't want the Chinese Empire to conquer the north.
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. The reason why Macedonia was able to agree to an alliance with the Chinese Empire was that there were various states in the north of the Chinese Empire.
However, now the Chinese Empire actually began the Northern Expedition, which made the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire Emperor Basil. Macedonia is a little panicked!
After all, the Chinese Empire is now separated from the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire by a Bulgarian kingdom, which is now almost equivalent to a vassal of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
It's just that at present, the Kingdom of Bulgaria is still nominally independent of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, but this is of no use at all.
Although the Bulgarian kingdom had some independence, their church was controlled by the emperor of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, which made most of the people of the Bulgarian kingdom also under the control of the church belonging to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia lowered his head and muttered: "No, I must find a way to stop the Chinese Empire, and I can't let the Chinese Empire successfully take the north, otherwise the Roman Empire may not be able to protect it in the future."
The little emperor of the Chinese Empire was ambitious, and at first glance he was not an ordinary person, and when she took the north, I am afraid that she would have to compete with me for Bulgaria.
It's a pity, it's a pity, why did God you give me these two shitty disobedients, if they had some ability, I wouldn't be so worried. ”
The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire didn't know what it was thinking, but at this moment, another Eastern Roman Byzantine court attendant came pacing.
The chamberlain paced to Basil. In front of him, he whispered: "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate have come to meet you. ”
Hearing the words of the courtiers, Basil. Macedon's pupils shrank slightly.
Basil. Macedonia had an idea in his mind, and of course this idea could only be determined by seeing Basil, the people of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate.
After all, the people of the Cuman Khanate and the people of the Bolgar Khanate had been hostile for hundreds of years, but now they joined hands in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.
This must not have allowed the emperors of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome to have some special ideas.
Basil. Macedon's bony hand raised and waved casually: "Bring them in!" I want to hear what they're going to do......"
After a while, two men dressed in animal skins and felt hats walked in.
One of them was blonde and blue-eyed, but his appearance was slightly different from that of a Westerner, while the other was black-haired and black-eyed, and at first glance he looked Asian.
After the two men came over, they used the etiquette of the steppe to greet Basil. Macedonia said: "The messenger from the steppe has seen the emperor of the Romans!" ”
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
Basil. Macedonia looked at the two people from the steppe with a questioning look and said, "I don't know which of you two is the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate and who is the envoy of the Cuman Khanate. ”
The blond-haired man stood up and said, "Honorable Roman Emperor, I am an emissary from the Bolgar Khanate, and I visit the Roman Emperor on behalf of the Khan. ”
The black-haired man with black eyes stood up and said: "Emperor of the Roman Empire, I am from the Cuman Khanate, and our Cuman Khanate and the Roman Empire also had a lot of intersections back then!" ”
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Although Macedonia is now gray-haired, skinny, and skinny, his eyes are very sharp
Basil. Macedon's eyes were sharp and unscrupulous and he joked to the two and said: "Hehe, yes, the Cuman Khanate can be said to be the supreme overlord of the northern steppe, and the Bolgar Khanate is also a generation of hegemons.
It's just that I have a question that I want to ask the two of you, and I remember that your Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate have been fighting each other for many years.
Why did you come to my Rome together this time? This really makes me very curious! What did you come to Rome for?"
The envoy from the Bolgar Khanate saluted again: "Hehe, our Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate both belong to the Great Immortal Heaven, although we attack, but this is only our own business.
We can fight against each other, and we can also form an alliance to fight together to defend the glory of the Immortal Heavens. ”
The envoys of the Cuman Khanate stated the purpose of their visit to the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Rome, I have come to your Roman Empire to form a military alliance with you. ”
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia looked at the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate with speculative eyes and quipped: "Military alliance? Why did I form a military alliance with you? Emissary of the Bolgar Khanate, do I know who your enemies are?
When the Huaxia Empire and I repelled you, you were still willing to form an alliance with me? Know that your other two enemies, the Huaxia Empire and the Khazar Khanate, are my allies!
Why should I abandon them and make an alliance with you? I really can't figure this out! Please give me a reason. ”
Emissary of the Bolgar Khanate: "Hehe, Emperor of the Roman Empire, you and the Khazar Khanate just casually resisted our Bolgar Khanate.
We, the Khazar Khanate, are not against it, and you continue to ally with the Khazar Khanate, even though the Khazar Khanate has forsaken the great Immortal Heavens. ”
The envoy of the Cuman Khanate also nodded: "That's right, we are not opposed to the great Roman Emperor and the Khazar Khanate fulfilling the covenant. We just want the great Roman Emperor to join us in the conquest of the Chinese Empire. ”
Basil. Macedonia raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the envoy of the Cuman Khanate, he didn't expect the envoy of the Cuman Khanate to say the content so bluntly.
Basil said lightly: "You two countries border the Huaxia Empire, and it is understandable that you want to go to war with the Huaxia Empire.
However, what I don't understand is that I am a close ally with the Chinese Empire, so why should I join you in the crusade against the Chinese Empire.
You are not afraid that I will detain you two, hand you over to the Huaxia Empire, and then attack you together with the Huaxia Empire. ”
The envoys of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate looked at each other. Macedonia laughed: "Hehe, we believe that Your Majesty, the great Roman Emperor, you will be so stupid. ”
