Misia represents the interests of the Persian aristocracy, who hold the administrative power in their hands, while Bahra represents the newly rising civilian class, who hold the military power in their hands, even in the face of foreign enemies, they are still fighting with each other, and even after the two missions came to the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't sit down and talk, for example, Li Xiu has now stopped the quarrel between the two of them twice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Yan Guogong forgives the sin, he was too reckless just now, I don't know what advice Guogong can have, I must listen to it!" Bahra is worthy of being a Persian born in the Central Plains, his Chinese is extremely slippery, and even idioms are readily available, if you don't look at his appearance, I'm afraid you won't believe that he is a Persian at all.

"I'm also willing to listen to Yan Guogong's opinion!" Misia also opened her mouth at this time, but her expression was a little stiff, after all, as a nobleman, she was a little more arrogant than Bahra, a businessman, and was reprimanded by Li Xiu twice just now, even if she didn't dare to oppose it on the surface, she still had some resentment in her heart.

Li Xiu didn't bother to worry about a little woman like Misia, and then slowly spoke after organizing the language at the moment: "You Persia are now facing the rise of the Great Cannibals, and they have conquered the Mesopotamian Plain, and then they can directly point to the hinterland of your Persia, and even take your capital Ctesiphon in one fell swoop, in the face of this critical situation, you have to come to the Tang Dynasty for help, but in my opinion, your approach can be summed up by a common saying in our Central Plains, that is, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near!" ”

"What Yan Guogong said is very true, but for us in Persia, except for the Tang Dynasty, there is no other country that can help us!" Bahra was born in the Central Plains, and he was also very familiar with various colloquialisms, and he immediately spoke.

"No, you're wrong, although our Datang is powerful, we can also give you some help, but we are too far away from Persia, and the places that can help you are very limited, but I think there is a strong country near your Persia that can help you, but it depends on whether you are willing?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

"Yan Guogong can't be talking about Byzantium, right?" As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, Bahra understood what he meant, but he smiled bitterly, and then glanced at Misia meaningfully.

"It can't be!" Misia also showed the same wry smile at this time, and then shook her head.

"Why can't it be, just because you were enemies?" Li Xiu asked with a light smile, he knew that Persia and Byzantium had been at war before, and it seemed that they had been fighting for hundreds of years, but the rise of the Great Cannibal did not only threaten the Persians, the Byzantine Empire was also under the threat of the Great Cannibal in the future, and even almost destroyed the country several times, fortunately they had a great emperor Heraclius at this time, although he lost many times in the war against the Great Cannibal, but he finally kept the Byzantine Empire, which allowed the empire to finally continue.

"Not just because of the enemy, but ...... It's ......" Misia showed a tangled expression at this time, and in the end she seemed embarrassed to continue.

"Yan Guogong doesn't know, the grievances between our Persia and Byzantinum are not so simple, especially the grievance a few decades ago, which made the Byzantines hate our Persia to the core, and now our Persia is in trouble, and it is impossible for the Byzantines to send troops to rescue!" Bahra explained with a sudden sigh.

"Oh? Then I would like to know, what was the feud of decades ago? Li Xiu asked curiously again when he heard this.

Hearing Li Xiu ask about the grievances between Persia and Byzantium, Bahra glanced at Misia again, but the arrogant Persian woman actually lowered her head at this time, and finally Bahra finally spoke again: "Speaking of this, we have to start with our greatest king of Persia, Kuslao II, decades ago......"

Li Xiu had heard Bachra say it just now, but Bahra didn't elaborate on it, and only then did he tell his life again, and Li Xiu found that the life of this Kusi II could be called legendary.

Kuslao's father was also the king of Persia, but he was killed by the rebels, hoping that the rebels would support Kuslao II as a puppet, but a famous Persian general at that time did not recognize Kuslao's throne and rebelled, as a result, Kuslao was forced to flee from Persia, and was finally taken in by the Byzantine Empire, and later the Byzantine emperor Maurice I sent troops to help Kuslao restore the throne.

It can be said that Kuslao II was able to survive and sit on the Persian throne, all thanks to the help of the Byzantine Empire, of course, the purpose of Byzantium is not so simple, but to take this opportunity to make Persia submit to Byzantium, which is equivalent to a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

However, after sitting on the throne, Kuslao II immediately severed all ties with the Byzantine Empire, and later sent troops to attack Byzantium, forcing Byzantium to the state of annihilation several times, which can definitely be called ungrateful in the eyes of the Central Plains, which also made Byzantium hate the Persians.

Later, although Kuslao II died, his children and grandchildren still inherited the Persian throne, such as the current Persian king Isiqi III, who is the grandson of Kuslao II, and the Byzantines' hatred of Persia has not been forgotten, which is one of the main reasons for the continuous conflict between the two countries before.

"I see, but speaking of which, you Kusi Lao II are really ruthless enough, you almost wiped out Byzantium with a bite, if I were a Byzantine, I'm afraid I would be happy to watch the fire from the other side, even if you were destroyed by the big cannibals, you didn't bother to care!" After listening to Bachra's explanation, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile and complain.

"That's true, the Byzantine Empire is our old enemy, and it has long been eager to destroy our Persia, so naturally it is impossible to help us!" Bahra smiled bitterly again at this time, and when he said this, he turned his head again to look at the silent Misia, and a little annoyance flashed in his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that these royal families had offended Byzantium to death, they would not have to go all the way to Datang to ask for help now.

"That's not necessarily, I believe that there is no eternal enemy in this world, and the rise of the Great Cannibal will not only threaten you Persia, but also Byzantium, so I think that as long as you are willing to ally with Byzantium with the greatest sincerity, you should receive some results, and our Datang can also help you in this regard!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

"An alliance with Byzantium?" Bahra couldn't help but show a heartfelt expression when he heard this, but then he asked a little puzzled, "But how can Datang help us in this matter?" ”
