Suning stayed in the holy city for two days, during which he went to the Western Regions Protectorate to meet with Du He, so that Du He also participated in this negotiation with him, and brought a majestic army to deter the Persians, and then enjoyed the Western Regions style food in the Western Regions, in fact, it is all kinds of barbecue, if you really talk about the taste, it is not as delicious as the barbecue grilled in Suning's own house, but what you want is this style, what you want is this special flavor.

Roast mutton, tear it by hand and eat it, it is a large piece when it is roasted, the outside is about to burn, and the inside is not yet cooked, but this feeling is really good, Suning also has some wild blood, seems to have inherited the ancient blood of ancient human beings, and is quite interested in raw food, especially after seafood is popular, Suning often asks the servants at home to prepare some seafood and sea fish such as shells, and after freezing with ice cubes, eat it raw, eat it with jealousy, and have a different flavor.

These wild roast mutton is the same, and you can even see the red blood in it, but it doesn't matter, eat meat in large pieces, drink wine, this is the style of the Western Regions, if you eat rice like Jiangnan, eat noodles like Guanzhong, the Western Regions will not be the Western Regions, those Persians came to the Holy City, and they also brought their eating habits over, because of the profound cultural heritage, gradually spread around, and were also taken to more distant places by caravans coming and going.

The first thing Suning does when he goes to a new place is to taste the most special local food, he thinks that he can learn about the most basic cultural environment and heritage of a place through food, and the customs of the place where the food is delicious will not be too difficult to accept, of course, whether it is delicious or not. It also depends on personal habits, which vary from person to person, if you really go to some primitive tribes and eat insects every day, Suning probably won't be able to stand it.

A few days later, news came from the Persian side. The place of negotiation is in the temporary barracks of the Tang Army patrol within ten miles of the Polish-Tang border, after all, Persia is still a big country, not a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so it is still necessary to give a little face, Suning is not here to fight this time, but to spread the idea of peace and benevolence, well, anyway, now is not the time to fight you, and I will fight you when you collapse.

There was no surprise to those who came to negotiate on the Persian side. is the little emperor's most trusted Issam, and now Issam also holds a position in the advisory group, but it doesn't seem to be the main person in charge, and he has been excluded, if the little emperor didn't believe in him, it is estimated that he really can't hold on, and this time it is estimated that he is also the result of being excluded, so he came here to clean up this mess.

Issam and Duho are acquaintances. Suning didn't know him, but Issam had also heard of Suning's name for a long time. After Chai Shao, although Xue Wanche took over the command of the expeditionary force, it was Du He who had a lot of intersections with people like Issam, and Du He was replaced by Xue Rengui after Du He's wedding.

Suning brought Du He with him to have this idea. After all, Issam and Duhe are acquaintances, and if they meet and talk, maybe the atmosphere will not be so awkward, and this military conflict is caused by the collective breakthrough of Persian eastward escapees. As a result, more than 1,000 Persian escapees were killed, more than 170 soldiers were killed on the Tang side, more than 500 Persian soldiers were killed, and the army was expelled by Du He himself, destroying the border blockade, and 10,000 people fled to the Tang Dynasty within three days, and only after three days were they re-blockaded by the army that took over the blockade, and suffered heavy losses.

Isam is indeed very embarrassed, he knows that the national strength of Persia is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty at all, and he also has a partial understanding of the causes of the eastward escapees, or rather, Issam is even quite sympathetic to those who fled to the east, although his family has always been a nobleman, but he has experienced many famine events in his childhood, witnessed the pain of the lives of the people at the bottom, and has a deep sympathy for them, in the ruling group, belongs to the enlightened faction.

However, both the political power and the military power are controlled by the conservatives, and the enlightened faction in the army, that is, the officers from the infantry are relatively small, these officers are all distinguished by the power of the Tang Dynasty in the Arab campaign, most of them are born civilians, and although the cavalry power has been hit hard, the main people in power in the army are basically from the cavalry, and the cavalry officers are basically from the military aristocracy.

The power of infantry civilian officers is not strong, although it is gradually rising, the power of Danse is still controlled by the military aristocracy, and the power is also controlled by the political family headed by the advisory group, although Isam can enter the advisory group by virtue of his merits and background, but his ideas and political opinions are in great conflict with the advisory group, and after refusing two or three bribes, he is marginalized.

He was also helpless.

So he envied the Tang Dynasty's political power, military power and even the throne were in the hands of the reformists, their emperor was the head of the reformists, and the main officers in the army were the emperor's old department, naturally supporting reforms, and the main conservative opposition in the political forces was a group of people who became the "Shandong Haoclan" by them, and they were defeated by the reformists many years ago, and the reformers held most of the power, so when he visited the Tang Dynasty, he felt the vitality, It has not been seen in the Persian Empire for a long time.

The vitality of the Tang Empire is very strong, but what about the Persian Empire? The reform-enlightened faction was firmly suppressed by the conservative opposition and could not grasp the initiative, perhaps there would be a few better officials in a certain region and the local people would live and work in peace and contentment, but that was only an isolated case, the entire Persian Empire had been fighting for more than ten years, the national strength was exhausted, and the emperor and the advisory group were still fighting for Mesopotamia with the Roman Empire.

Whether the population of Persia is 10 million or not is a problem, and it is estimated that it is difficult to guarantee even 9 million, plus the people who continue to flee to the Tang Dynasty, and there are more killed escapees and their relatives, how many people can still carry out production? How many more people can be soldiers? How long can the Persian Empire remain in power?

These are what Issam wants to say but dare not say, starting from the national capital, what he saw and heard along the way all made his heart tremble, the more he went to the border area, the more he could hear that the Tang army was desperate to defend the Persian refugees, and the Persian army was killing Persian refugees, so why should we be Persians? Just go to Datang together. Live a good life......

Someone's distant relatives were eastward escapees, and they managed to escape to Datang, and then asked the Datang caravan to bring food and letters to these only remaining relatives, telling them how good their lives were now, and so on, such news continued to spread and spread. There is an atmosphere of unease in the entire border area, and even in the past few days, we have been hearing about the success or failure of the eastward fugitives attacking the border.

When he arrived at the pass, Issam watched in shock as the border guards cut off the heads of hundreds of civilian corpses and incinerate the remainders.

At this point, what else can you hope for, the people's hearts are lost. Once the Tang army attacks Persia, the border defense of Persia is useless, the border people will desperately support the Tang army, strike at the Persian army, several border provinces will be quickly lost, and then the Tang army will easily point to the capital, that is the road they have walked.

And at this time, what he was about to face was the even more terrifying Su Shangshu in the mouth of that terrible General Du. I heard that this Su Shangshu was a general before he became a Shangshu. led the army to victory in a hundred battles, and never lost, although it is not clear why he became a civil official, but since he can achieve the position of Shangshu, that is, the core personnel of the Persian advisory group, he must be very powerful.

The Persians could also know Suning's name through the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. For example, Suning's first delicacy - Tang Dynasty stir-fried dishes, wonderful taste, people linger in the Tang Dynasty Xianju, has almost dominated the Persian court, the little emperor specified that the chief chef of Wei Xianju should be his personal chef. Give him a particularly rich salary, let him cook for the royal family, and the entire Persian upper class society is proud of eating Tang stir-fried food, if you are a nobleman but there is no chef in the family who can cook Tang stir-fried food, then you will be very faceless.

Fine porcelain, noble brocade, snow-white paper, elegant brushes and calligraphy, beautiful verses, mysterious and elegant Chinese characters, terrifying and powerful artillery, Persia is almost on the verge of being conquered by Eastern culture.

Persia, can it really start a war with the Tang Dynasty? With only 300 people, they can fight against the Persian border army of more than 3,000 people, which is still a relatively strong army, because of the long-term fighting, the combat effectiveness of the border guards is not weak, but in the face of the border guards in the Tang army, it seems that the Persian army is like a piece of paper, pierced and pierced, without the ability to resist, the border guards of the Tang army are also an army with superior combat effectiveness, and they have fought against various enemies for many years, and the soldiers are very combative.

Although the Persian Empire has also been fighting for a long time, but the court is corrupt, the generals are corrupt, and the veterans who always lose the battle can't fight with the veterans who have been winning the battle, they will definitely lose, those Tang troops with a fierce atmosphere, every time they see it, Issam will feel trembling from the bottom of his heart.

But at this point, he couldn't turn back, at this time it caused a violent shock in the Persian court, and a considerable number of officials expressed their annoyance at the occurrence of this incident, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was blatantly provoking the dignity of Persia as a country, interfering in the problems of Persia itself, and trying to seize the population of Persia.

Issam would like to tell them that the reason why you say this is because you have food to eat and you don't have to worry about being drafted for military service.

But he didn't dare to say it, if he did, he would be listed as an official public enemy without hesitation, and his family power would not allow him to say this, even if he was the patriarch of the family, but his political attitude made his position as the patriarch not so stable, and the whole family didn't like this guy who couldn't grasp the power of the advisor to be the patriarch, and if he said that, he would probably be given up immediately.

He took his escort and retinue officials to the place of negotiation, the Tang patrol camp in the ten-mile area, which was essentially the ten-mile land that Persia ceded to the Tang Dynasty, and walking on this ten-mile land always made Isam have an indescribable affection, and when he saw Suning, this affection was expanded, and he finally met the legendary characters that the Tang people often talked about, from the children of the Hanmen to the Marquis of Suning Su Shangshu.

He is the negotiator of the Tang Dynasty, as the negotiator of the Persian side, they are enemies, and the country has given Issam a death order, no matter what, the interests and dignity of Persia must be guaranteed, and absolutely nothing degrading the national body must be done, and the Tang Dynasty must be made to give an account of this matter, and promise not to accept the appearance of the eastward escapees, so that all the thirty or forty thousand traitors who have been accepted will come to accept the trial of the state, etc.

Issam felt like crying. (The novel "Zhenguan Raiders" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
