Chapter 554: High-five Oath

Tiemen Pass is a pass west of the Wuhu River, and it is also the gateway for Persia to enter Anxi.

Before hesitating Persia turmoil, the nine surnames of Tocharian Zhaowu joined forces to block the Iron Gate Pass, in fact, it was to resist the eastward advance of the Da Wei people.

In fact, the Tang Empire did not station any troops in the area around Tiemen Pass.

Since Li Shimin's surrender, the Tang Kingdom has always been shown in the land of Anxi with an inclusive and broad-minded attitude. The reason why the Tang Empire wanted to control Anxi was not to rule Anxi, but to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to contain the power of Tibet.

Located on the plateau, Tibet presents a bird's-eye view of the Tang Empire.

Although his strength is not strong, he has repeatedly been able to pose a threat to Datang. It was not because the Tang Dynasty did not want to destroy Tibet, but because his altitude was too high, the Tang army launched an attack from east to west, and it was easy to have a physiological discomfort reaction.

Tubo, on the other hand, relied on its unique geographical advantages, attacking and plundering everywhere if it won the war, and retreated to the plateau if it lost, and then changed to a posture to show submission......

In desperation, Emperor Taizong had no choice but to focus on Anxi.

Only by occupying Anxi can he form an effective containment of Tibet, so that he does not dare to easily enter the Koubian area.

This is also the reason why Tubo and Datang are entangled in Anxi and repeatedly fight.

Datang needs to use Anxi to contain and flank Tubo; And Tubo doesn't want their backyard to be occupied by the Tang Dynasty...... So, after Zhenguan, on the surface, the two sides lived in harmony, but in fact, the fight never stopped.

One hundred thousand Sassanid Persians entering Ansi?

This is no small matter!

Don't say anything else, just say that Zhaowu nine surnames. They are willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty and take care of the western gateway for the Tang Dynasty, but they may not be willing to let so many Persians enter Anxi. Because in this way, Anxi, which is already in a complicated situation, will become more complex and changeable.

Mina's request sounded simple. But it is no longer something that Yang Shouwen can decide.

This is a state-to-state negotiation, and Mina, in her capacity as a Sassanid Persian princess in exile, is a request that inevitably involves the interests of all parties. Mo said that it was Yang Shouwen, even if the crown prince Li Xian was here, he couldn't make a decision.

Yang Shouwen smiled bitterly.

People say that after the war, there will be singing and dancing.

But I'm facing it. Why a mess?

The resettlement of refugees, the shortage of food, the lack of troops, the counterattack of the rebels...... Is it good to have to deal with negotiations between countries now?

Where is this singing and dancing, it is clearly a disaster!

Yang Shouwen really felt that his intelligence was a little insufficient......

In particular, Mina's request is completely beyond his reach, and he needs Mina's help.

Trick Mina?

I'm afraid it's difficult, but she's also an extremely smart woman.

Yang Shouwen doesn't think so. With his ability to traverse, he can solve this kind of trouble.

There are some things that you will never experience without experience.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Shouwen let out a long sigh and said, "Mina...... No, I should call you Princess Mina.

Your request seems reasonable to me.

However, I am not capable of it. Can't give you a positive answer. As you should be aware, this is no longer a personal deal between you and me. Rather, it was a negotiation between the Sassanid Persian Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom...... I need your help very much, but...... All I can say is that I will truthfully fulfill your request to Your Majesty, and then ask Your Majesty to decide.

Whether it will succeed, I can't guarantee it.

Even if you hand over the Yellow Beard to me now, I cannot guarantee that Your Majesty will approve of your people entering Anxi in large numbers.

After all, this Anthy ......"

Yang Shouwen stared into Mina's eyes. There is sincerity in the words.

Mina met his gaze, and after a long time, she suddenly said, "Yang Jun, I just want to know, are you willing to help me then?" ”

Yang Shouwen thought about it. Solemnly: "I can do my best to help you, but I don't know what the result will be." ”

After saying that, he smiled bitterly again.

Why do I smile more wryly when I win a battle than I did before I win?

He said in a deep voice: "Moreover, even if you don't help me, you have cheated me before, but for the sake of my righteous brother's face, I will try my best to help you." ”

A hint of shyness flashed across Mina's pretty face.

She smiled and said, "Yang Jun, I think now that you are a good person."

Okay, I can help you, no matter whether the emperor of your Tang Kingdom agrees to my conditions in the future, I will help you this time.

However, I have only one condition: when we discuss with the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, you must help us. ”

Yang Shouwen stretched out his hand without hesitation.

"Huh?"

"We high-five the oath."

"Okay, according to the words of your Tang people, it is a gentleman's words."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

While speaking, the two high-fived three times.

After the high-five, the faces of Su Mi, Li Ke, Seriga and Jeddah in the big tent suddenly became much better-looking.

After all, being able to have eight hundred yellowbeards join can more or less alleviate this difficult situation in front of us.

The next day, it was dawn.

Yang Sixteen was the first to wake up.

His physical fitness is far better than Feng Changqing, so he woke up much earlier than Feng Changqing.

It was almost noon, and Feng Changqing also woke up.

Seeing that the two woke up one after another, Yang Shouwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after, he pulled the two of them and scolded them.

Yang Sixteen couldn't raise his head when he was scolded, and he was cowardly and silent.

It was Feng Changqing, with an expression of 'I resolutely admit my mistakes, but I will definitely not change', which made Yang Shouwen feel helpless.

This ugly boy has an opinion that his peers don't have.

Even, he had more ideas than Yang Sixteen, so much so that when Yang Shouwen scolded him, he felt that he was more mature than Yang Sixteen.

"Master, I was really wrong, don't be angry, I won't dare in the future."

"Huh."

Yang Shouwen sneered twice, gritted his teeth and said: "Ugly slave, next time you dare to make your own opinions, Hugh blames you for being a teacher who is not polite to you." ”

"Mmmmmmmm, how the master will punish him at that time, the ugly slave is not to blame."

After speaking, he changed his words and said softly: "Master, how is the battle going?" ”

"What do you say?"

Yang Shouwen almost didn't sleep all night, and he also felt a little dizzy at this time.

He said softly: "Originally, I planned to go to Qiuzi to find reinforcements after breaking out. Because of the two of you, I had to risk staying and flooding Shattered Leaf City. Now, although Shattered Leaf City has been breached, it has indeed become a ruin.

Moreover, Bo Lu's side will definitely retaliate, this war has just begun. ”

"Bo Lu ran away?"

Feng Changqing's eyes rolled, and then he said, "This guy is lucky......

Looking at his appearance, Yang Shouwen knew that this stinky boy wanted Yang Shouwen to praise him. To be honest, it was indeed a lot of luck to be able to attack Broken Leaf City this time. Previously, Feng Changqing had seen the weakness of Broken Leaf City, and then it was a heavy rain that caused the Broken Leaf Water River to skyrocket...... was able to break the city, and Feng Changqing made a great contribution.

But Yang Shouwen didn't want to praise him, because he could see that if this kid was praised, he would definitely become more and more arrogant.

He was thinking about how to strike Feng Changqing, but he heard footsteps outside.

A young man barged in and said excitedly, "Yang Jun, guess who we caught?" (To be continued.) )
