Chapter 1189: The Envoy Visits

After returning home from the academy, Li Xiu had been thinking about what Xiao Yu said to himself, he wanted to invite the scholars in the Persian mission to come to the academy to communicate, Li Xiu also agreed with this matter, and he also admired Xiao Yu even more, although Xiao Yu was too square in his life, so he offended many people, but he was more straightforward than anyone else in doing learning, especially being able to humbly ask others for advice, which is also very rare among scholars.

In the next two days, Li Xiu did not go to the academy again, after all, he was only a part-time job in the academy, just go once in a while, his main energy is still at home, now the hottest weather has passed, and even began to slowly turn cooler, the corn in the field has grown taller than people, and it is estimated that it will bear fruit in a while.

On the afternoon of the second day when Li Xiu was at home, when he was lecturing to the children at home, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates that the Persian envoy came to visit, which made him also mentally shocked, after all, he was also very concerned about the situation in Persia, although he had heard some Persian rumors before, but after all, it was better to ask in person in detail.

At that moment, Li Xiu asked Wu Mingkong to take over his lecture, and then he walked quickly to the front hall, when he came in, he saw that there were two bearded people sitting in the hall, led by an old man with gray hair, and his face was also full of thick beards, almost covering his entire face, but the eyes that appeared between the beards were very bright, and his eyes were very peaceful, when he saw Li Xiu come in, the old man couldn't help but stand up and salute: "The Persian envoy Zamas greets His Royal Highness!" ”

"No need to be polite, why didn't Bahra come this time?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look up and down at this Persian envoy at this time, this Zamas's Chinese is very fluent, the only fly in the ointment is that he can't distinguish the tone, and the accent is a bit strange, which is obviously much worse than the original Bahra, but he can't be blamed, after all, Bach was originally born in the Tang Dynasty and later went to Persia.

"Bahra has important things to dop, so I came in his place, but before I came, he wrote a letter that I wanted to pass on to His Royal Highness!" I saw this Zamas open his mouth to explain, and when he said this, he also took out a well-sealed letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu took the letter and was about to open it, but at this moment, he suddenly pointed to the Hu man next to him and introduced: "Your Royal Highness, in fact, this time we set off with the Roman mission, but we encountered some accidents on the way, which led to the unfortunate death of the Roman envoy, and this is the Roman deputy envoy Fucas, he also admires His Royal Highness very much, and also brought greetings from His Majesty the Roman Emperor!" ”

Hearing Zamas's introduction, Li Xiu noticed the Roman next to the other party, just now his attention was on Zamas, just glanced at this Roman, and even thought he was also a Persian at first, after all, the difference between Persians and Romans in appearance is not very big, don't look at the two countries used to be feuds, but the economic and cultural exchanges are very frequent, and even the clothes are quite similar, so it is not surprising that Li Xiu did not notice the other party at first.

"Phocas greets His Royal Highness!" I saw that this Roman deputy greeted Li Xiu in more blunt Chinese, compared to Zamas, this Phocas is much younger, he looks about thirty years old at most, wearing a Roman robe very similar to the Persian robe, and his attitude is also very humble, in fact, as long as the envoys who come to the Tang Dynasty, especially after seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with their own eyes, everyone will become humble, after all, their country is too different from the Tang Dynasty.

"No need to be polite, Your Majesty the Emperor Sheila Brother is also a very promising monarch, and I admire him very much for his ability to let go of his hatred with Persia and form an alliance with Persia to fight against the Great Eclipse!" Li Xiu also nodded to Phocas at the moment.

Li Xiu's above words are not all polite, in fact, he does admire Heraclius very much, this person ascended the throne when Rome was in danger, created the Heraclius dynasty, and single-handedly brought the Roman Empire to Zhongxing, and even once beat the biggest enemy Persia to almost annihilate the country, what is even more rare is that he was able to let go of the hatred with Persia, although the alliance between the two countries, Li Shimin's letter played a very key role, but Heraclius's mind is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty Heraclius would be very happy if she learned of His Royal Highness's praise!" At this time, Phocas also said happily again, he had met Li Shimin before, and he also had some understanding of the situation in Datang, so he naturally knew Li Xiu's status and influence in Datang.

Li Xiu was also very interested in the situation on the Roman side, and couldn't help but chat with Phocas at the moment, and by the way, he asked about the war between Rome, Persia and the Three Kingdoms of Great Food.

The customs of Rome are indeed very interesting, Li Xiu and Phocas started to talk from habits, and later talked about Roman food, clothing, etc., and later even the Persian envoy Zamas also joined in, introducing the situation in Persia, he is a famous scholar in Persia, and he has a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of Persia and Rome, and the three of them chatted endlessly.

However, when the topic turned to the war between Persia, Rome and the Great Eclipse, Zamas and Phocas both showed solemn expressions, but they did not hide it, and immediately talked about the current situation of the war.

Before the Great Eclipse almost hit the capital of Persia, and later under the sneak attack of Rome, resulting in the Great Eclipse fiasco, but the Great Eclipse quickly recovered, and then the troops were divided into two ways, respectively, on the battlefield on the east and west sides of the Persian, Rome launched a big war, at first Heraclius was still very confident, thinking that he could easily defeat the Great Eclipse, but after a few games, Rome lost more and won less, and this was still in the case of Persia containing part of the Great Eclipse's troops, which made him suddenly wake up, and finally began to face the strong enemy of the Great Eclipse.

But even if Rome and Persia joined forces, the two sides still couldn't bargain on the battlefield, and now they can only say that they are struggling to defend under the attack of Da Shi, and they have no ability to counterattack at all, the reason why they sent a mission to Datang this time is to strengthen the connection with Datang, and secondly, they also hope to get help from Datang, of course, they also know that it is almost impossible to let Datang send troops, but even if it is moral help, it can also be inspiring to them.

"Your Royal Highness, if you want to understand the current battle situation, why don't you take a look at the letter that Bahra wrote to you, there should be a more detailed explanation on the letter." When he was talking about this, he suddenly only heard Zamas point to the letter he had just forwarded to Li Xiu.
