Li Xiu was discussing the war situation in West Asia with the envoys of Persia and Rome, but he didn't expect that the Persian envoy Zamas suddenly reminded Li Xiu that in the letter written by Bahra to him, there might be more explanations about the situation in West Asia, which made Li Xiu a little surprised, because in his opinion, Bahra was just an envoy who could speak well, and his status in Persia might not be very high, how could he know more about the situation of the war?

With the above question, Li Xiu invited Zamas and Phocas to drink tea, and then opened Bahra's letter himself, only to see a neat flying white book on the letter, which made Li Xiu feel a little ashamed, as a Han Chinese, the calligraphy is not as good as that of a Persian like Bahra.

Bahra's letter was very thick, Li Xiu read it page by page, at first the other party also greeted him politely, and then thanked Li Xiu for his efforts in the alliance between Persia and Rome, and also talked about his mission to Rome, and the process of making the two countries reach an alliance, but these contents only account for a small part of the content of the letter, and most of the following is the focus of Bahra.

According to Bahra's letter, he sent an envoy to Rome and persuaded the Roman Emperor Heraclius to finally make an alliance between the two sides, but it was here that the Great Cannibal suddenly sent troops to attack Persia again, and the troops were directed at Ctesiphon, the capital of Persia.

At this time, Heraclius, at the request of Bahra, sent troops very decisively and attacked the rear of the cannibal from behind, which made the cannibal unbearable, and finally had to withdraw in embarrassment, but on the way back, he encountered an ambush by the Romans, and as a result, the 70,000 cannibal army was surrounded, and finally fled back with less than 20,000 people.

Bahla also joined the Roman army, and in the final ambush of the Great Eclipse, Heraclius gave him command of a Roman army, and as a result, Bahla performed well and made a lot of achievements, which made Heraclius even more appreciative of him, and even wanted to recruit him to serve in Rome.

However, Bahra said that he was a Persian, and now that Persia was in danger, he could not leave his homeland at this time, so he politely declined Heraclius's solicitation, which also made Heraclius both admire and regret.

Rome sent troops to defeat the great cannibal in one fell swoop, and also relieved the crisis of Persia's annihilation, which made Persia also jubilant, Bahra was regarded as a national hero who saved Persia, and was welcomed by countless Persians, and the actual ruler of Persia, that is, the general Kavad, also attached great importance to Bahra, after all, the Bahra family is also a strong supporter behind him, not only many of Bahra's relatives served in the army, but also contributed money to fund the Persian army, so after Bahra returned to Persia, He was immediately rewarded by Khavad.

However, although the Great Cannibal was repulsed, the Persian country has also been destroyed, half of the country has been lost, and the remaining half is also full of devastation, and everyone knows that the Great Cannibal is only a temporary retreat, and it will definitely come back soon, so the Persians do not dare to relax in the slightest, not only to rebuild their homeland, but also to reorganize their armies for war.

Bahra relied on his previous outstanding performance on the battlefield, and also got the command of an army, he took advantage of the short opportunity of the big cannibal retreat, and also desperately trained his army, and he also had the financial and manpower support of his family behind him, so his army also developed rapidly, and the equipment and training were not comparable to the ordinary Persian army.

Sure enough, just two years after the Great Cannibal retreated, he made a violent comeback again, and this time it was to attack Persia and Rome at the same time, which is enough to see the ambition of the Great Cannibal, in the face of two powerful ancient countries that have existed for thousands of years, they even don't pay attention to it, and even want to annex the two countries at once.

At the beginning, the Romans may have suffered some hardships on the battlefield because of the light enemy, but Rome is a big country after all, and Rome is in a period of renaissance, and the national strength is very strong, so after adjustment, it quickly blocked the attack of the big cannibals, but it was unable to rescue the Persians.

Compared with the powerful Rome, the Persians who were already half-crippled were miserable, in the face of the attack of the big cannibals, at first the Persians were almost at the touch of a crush, and they couldn't stop the attack of the big cannibals at all, and then because the battle line of the big cannibals was too long, this allowed the Persians to seize the opportunity and attack the weak points of the big cannibals from time to time with superior forces, which brought back some of the situation, but in general, the Persians were still in a weak position and could barely protect themselves.

These are the contents of Bahra's letter, of course, there are some details, such as Bahra's performance on the battlefield in the later period, although he did not say it explicitly, but Li Xiu can analyze some of the content, Bahra should make a lot of contributions in the war against the Great Cannibals, especially in the last paragraph, he mentioned the actual ruler of Persia several times, Khavad, seems to have some dissatisfaction.

After reading Bachra's letter, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression, but soon he thought that now was not the time to think about things, so he also smiled apologetically at Zamas and Phocas in front of him: "I'm sorry, I made you wait for a long time, but Bahra is also my old friend, and I am also very concerned about his current situation, so I hope you two can understand." ”

"Your Royal Highness is polite, Bahra is our hero of Persia, before I came, he had mentioned His Royal Highness to me many times, and he also missed his life in the Tang Dynasty very much, if it wasn't for the fact that Persia couldn't do without him, I'm afraid it would not be my turn to envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time." Zamas also said very politely at this time.

Hearing Zamas's words, Li Xiu also showed a cordial smile to him, because according to Bahra's letter, this Zamas used to be Bahla's teacher, and the relationship between the two was very close.

"General Bahra is not only a hero of Persia, but also very famous in our Rome, even our Emperor His Majesty wanted to recruit him, but he did not agree, but even so, our Emperor Majesty still values him very much, before we came, His Majesty the Emperor also sent someone to consult with General Bahra, ready to join forces to fight back against the Great Eclipse!" At this moment, I saw that the Roman deputy envoy Phocas also smiled and spoke.

Li Xiu heard Phocas's words, but his heart moved, the other party called Bahra a general, and kept saying that the Roman emperor and Bahra joined forces to send troops, but did not mention the actual ruler of Persia, that is, the general Khavard, which made Li Xiu also vaguely guess.

At that moment, Li Xiu chatted with these two envoys for a while, and Zamas also proposed several times that the purpose of his envoy to Datang was actually to get the support of Datang, and even if possible, he also hoped that Datang could give them some practical support, such as the weapons and armor that Datang gave them last time, which were very popular among the Persians, but the number was too small.

For the purpose of Zamas's trip, Li Xiu also felt that there was no big problem, with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it was not difficult to support a batch of materials to them, as for moral support, it was even simpler, but Li Xiu obviously felt that Zamas seemed to have other purposes, but in front of the Roman envoys, it was inconvenient to speak, and he could only vaguely reveal a little in some words, and Phocas's Chinese was not very good, and it was a little difficult to communicate reluctantly, so naturally he couldn't hear the meaning of Zamas's words.

"I already understand the purpose of the two envoys' visit this time, I heard that you have already met Your Majesty, I wonder what Your Majesty's reply is?" Li Xiu finally asked again.

"His Majesty the Emperor did summon us and listened to our request, but His Majesty did not give us an accurate answer, just let us rest for a few days, and by the way, we also took a look in Chang'an to experience the customs of the Tang Dynasty." Zamas also replied with a wry smile at this time, his Chinese was taught by Bahra, and he had heard him talk a lot about the situation of the Tang Dynasty, but after all, it was the first time to come to the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know much about the Tang Dynasty, so naturally he couldn't guess Li Shimin's thoughts, which was why he came to visit Li Xiu.

"Haha~, Your Majesty didn't give you an accurate reply, and I can't say anything, but since Your Majesty was able to write a letter to His Majesty the Roman Emperor, this already represents the attitude of our Datang!" Li Xiu replied with a smile at this time, in fact, Zamas's requests are nothing to Datang, and Li Shimin will definitely agree, but he can't make the other party feel that he can get what he wants too easily, otherwise it will seem that Datang's kindness is too cheap.

Zamas is a famous scholar, naturally a smart person, and when he heard Li Xiu's words, he immediately understood what he meant, and he was a little relieved at the moment, while Phocas next to him was still too young and his Chinese was too poor to understand what Li Xiu was saying, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only sit there and look at Zamas uneasily, and then judge the meaning of Li Xiu's words from the change in Zamas's expression, and it was really difficult for him to say it.

It's not early, Zamas also got what he wants from Li Xiu, so he is also ready to leave, and Li Xiu also remembered what Xiao Yu told him before, so he invited Zamas and others to go to Zhongnan Academy, but Zamas was also very interested, and he agreed to come down at the moment, and also agreed that three days later, he would lead the scholars in the envoy to visit the academy.
