No matter from which point of view, Bahra did not seek help from Rome, but came all the way to Datang, which was simply reluctant to seek the near and far, and Datang could not provide much help, which was also what Li Xiu had always felt strange. However, Zamas quickly helped Li Xiu answer this question, and as he told the story, Li Xiu finally knew why Bahra sent Zamas to Datang at a distance.

It turned out that at the very beginning, Bahra was indeed the most likely to ask the Roman Emperor Heraclius for help, and Heraclius also attached great importance to Bahra, and even thought about recruiting him, so according to common sense, if Bahra asked Heraclius for help, it was still very likely that he would get help from the other party.

However, what Bahra did not expect was that Heraclius, after receiving his request for help, instead of agreeing to him, wrote him a sternly worded letter, asking him not to destroy the current overall situation because of his own selfish interests, especially now that the cannibal offensive is fierce, if Persia is destroyed by the cannibalism because of civil strife, then Rome is likely to be alone.

Bahra didn't expect Heraclius to give such a reply, although the other party's reply seemed reasonable, but Bahra always felt that this was not what Heraclius really thought.

"Later, Bahra discussed it with our people, and finally someone suggested that the reason why Heraclius was reluctant to support Bahra was probably because he saw that Kavard was unpopular in Persia, and even if he defeated Dashi in the future, Persia ruled by Kavard would not pose a threat to Rome, in contrast, Bahra was different, and he was even likely to revive Persia, and from Heraclius's position, he naturally did not want another opponent who threatened him." Zamas finally added again.

Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression when he heard this, although he had not seen Kavad, but he had seen Bahra, this Persian who believed in him his age was not only erudite and proficient in Eastern and Western cultures, but also very adventurous, otherwise he would not have served as an envoy many times, and he could persuade Heraclius to let go of his hatred of Persia and make an alliance between the two countries, it can be said that this person's ability can be compared with the Zongheng family in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Bahra still had extremely high military talent, and he had accumulated such a high reputation in Persia in just a few years, if he really defeated Kavad and became the king of Persia, this person would simply be the second Li Shimin, and Persia could also become the Tang Dynasty in West Asia, and Rome, which was closest to them, would probably be threatened by this, after all, the Covenant was the most unreliable, as long as Persia was strong, it would make Rome restless.

In addition, Li Xiu also thought that the Roman Emperor Heraclius is not young now, and it is estimated that he will not have a few years to live, in contrast, Bahra is in the prime of life, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why Heraclius is reluctant to support Bahra, after all, he does not want to leave a strong opponent for his successor.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu can better understand Heraclius's mood, and even think about it again, if he is standing in Heraclius's position, I am afraid he will not support Bahra, and even if he has the opportunity, he must get rid of the threat of Bahra, but now they are in a state of alliance, and they must work together to deal with the big cannibals, so Heraclius does not dare to provoke civil strife because of Bahla, otherwise the big cannibals in front of him alone will be enough to destroy them.

"I see, when you went to Heraclius for help, you did find the wrong person." Li Xiu also let out a long breath at the moment and said.

"Yes, although we Persia and Rome have formed an alliance temporarily, the contradictions and conflicts between our two countries have not disappeared because of this, and once the threat of cannibalism is lifted in the future, there will definitely be conflicts between our two sides, so after I discussed with Bahra, I feel that it is more practical to come to Datang to ask for help, as long as Datang is willing to help us, we are also willing to show the greatest sincerity, the previous tax is only one of the conditions we provide, if Datang has other requirements, we can also discuss in detail." Zamas spoke again at this time, and his posture was also very low, and it could be seen that they were indeed eager to get Datang's help.

"But even if we Datang are willing to help you, I'm afraid it won't have any practical effect, after all, we can't go on an expedition because of you." Li Xiu hesitated again at this time, the Tang Dynasty and Persia are separated by the entire Western Regions, and now the Western Regions are in the hands of the Western Turks, and the Tang Dynasty only controls part of the eastern side of the Western Regions.

"His Royal Highness Guogong doesn't know, in fact, Datang's help to us is not as small as yours, and even we don't need Datang's help from other aspects, we just need Datang to stand on our side in name." Zamas saw that Li Xiu was already a little moved, which made him feel shocked, and he increased his strength again at the moment.

"Nominally on your side, what's the use?" Li Xiu was stunned again when he heard Zamas's words, if Persia is a subject country around the Tang Dynasty, then the position of the Tang Dynasty will become very important, after all, these small countries are too influenced by the Tang Dynasty, and even the selection of the king has to go through the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, but Persia is far away in West Asia, and the influence of the Tang Dynasty cannot reach there, plus Persia is not a small country, so even if the Tang Dynasty really openly supports Bahra, I am afraid it will not have much effect.

"The prince doesn't know, in fact, the last time His Majesty the Tang Emperor wrote a letter to Heraclius, which prompted the alliance between Rome and Persia, it has also been spread, and even sung by countless poets, plus the Tang Dynasty is rich in products, many of the Tang Dynasty's specialties are very popular with Persian and Roman nobles, so now the name of the Tang Dynasty is also known to everyone in our two countries, no one knows, and many people venture to follow the caravan on the road, in order to see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with their own eyes."

"No wonder there have been a lot of Persians and Romans in Chang'an in the past two years, and there is still this reason." Li Xiu also muttered to himself thoughtfully when he heard Zamas's words.

"Some of these people who came to Datang lived in Datang, and some returned to Persia or Rome for various reasons, and at the same time they also brought the prosperity and wealth of Datang back to their homeland, it can be said that in the hearts of our Persians and Romans, Datang is like the legendary kingdom of heaven, especially the Tang Emperor, who has great popularity, if the Datang Emperor is willing to stand behind Bahra publicly, I am afraid that Bahra's reputation will be raised again, so as to attract more talents to join us!" Zamas then continued, and while his words were exaggerated, they weren't lies.
