Chapter 537: Common Enemy

Isai didn't know that it was, the map had been streamlined a lot, and the place names on it also let Isai know how the Han named the names of their places here, so as soon as Guo Ming said it, Isai knew what the other party was talking about.

"No, no, no, His Majesty has misunderstood, the murderers are not from your country, but those people from the island who believe in what sect, and these people are said to have caused a great influence in your country." Guo Ming immediately said with a smile.

Hearing Guo Ming say this, Is'ai was in an instant mood, and even if it wasn't in front of Guo Ming, it is estimated that Is'ai would be able to laugh on the spot, of course he knew that those who claimed to be Arab had a great impact on the hinterland of Persia, and even wanted to attack them Persia.

"It turned out to be those sinners, Ambassador Guo, please rest assured, they have also had a great impact on us in Persia, if possible, we in Persia will try our best to catch the murderer and hand it over to the Han Dynasty." Isai said with a serious face, and his expression also became sad.

"Your Majesty, you know, from the beginning of the founding of my Han Dynasty, the leader of Huo Gang made a grand wish, and those who dare to harm the people of my Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! And this time, we came to Persia just to discuss with Your Majesty that we can allow our Han cavalry to enter Persia, and then cross Persia to attack these Arabs? Since they are also enemies of Persia, we are also helping Persia destroy them. Guo Ming said with a serious face.

Is'ai was stunned for a moment, but he immediately spoke directly: "Ambassador Guo Ming, it's not that I don't want to, but there is really no precedent, and these people are located in the depths of the peninsula, and if your cavalry wants to enter the peninsula, it takes too long and energy, and your supplies should not be enough, right?" ”

How could Isai agree to such a thing, of course, it was their enemy who was destroyed, but the powerful attack power of the Han cavalry, Persia had heard a lot, and even such a powerful Turk could not defeat the other party, and it had already been destroyed by the other party, not to mention their Persia.

If it is the strongest thing in Persia, Isai is probably not afraid of the other party, but now in Persia, Isai himself knows in his own heart, he is not the opponent of the other party at all, and more importantly, if you want the other party to go in and attack those Arabs, the other party's cavalry must pass through their Persian hinterland, that is, near the valley of the two rivers.

It's too dangerous...... If the other side does not attack the Arabs, but directly attacks him, with Is'ai's current ability to control the Persian army, it is estimated that he will not be able to stop the other party's attack on the Ctesiphon region at all, if the other party stands here and does not leave, then they will not be able to defeat the other party at all, maybe Persia will be like the Turks, directly annexed by the Han.

Because Isaeko knew that many Persians had fled to the Han and became the subjects of the Han, and the news had been circulating in Persia all the time, if it weren't for the fact that Persia didn't care at all in those places...... Or if he doesn't have the ability to care, he probably won't be able to do business with Dahan.

Of course, none of this has much to do with him, he has just inherited the throne, he knows very well the current state of Persia, and he needs to unite all forces to make Persia strong again.

But he couldn't agree to such a thing anyway.

"That's really not enough, so we hope you can provide some food support." Guo Ming immediately spoke.

"I'm afraid this won't work, it's not that I don't want to help the Han, the Han is my friend of Persia, but it's really that my Persia food has not been enough in recent years, and there is often a famine, you also know Minister Guo, I Persia also bought food from your Han, and we don't have extra food." Isai said with a look of embarrassment.

"Why don't we deliver the food ourselves?" Guo Ming asked tentatively.

"Minister Guo, I'll just say it bluntly, I'm afraid this matter is impossible, Minister Guo is also the minister of a country, and Minister Guo also knows that if your army wants to fight the Arabs, then it will have to pass through the two river valleys of our Persia, which is our core area. It's like the Yumen Pass of the Han Dynasty, and it's impossible to just let the armies of other countries pass nearby, right? After a moment of silence, Isai spoke decisively and directly.

Because he felt that if he continued to talk, who knew what kind of excessive things Guo Ming would propose, so it was better to simply refuse.

"That'...... Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the grand wish made by my leader Huo Gang must be realized no matter what, no matter what the cost, in that case, it is better for us to change the angle, since Your Majesty cannot let our army pass, then I don't know if we can hire the Persian army to do this. Guo Ming thought about it in embarrassment, and then spoke again.

Of course, in fact, this is Guo Ming's real purpose, as for the previous things, they are all excuses he made, after all, if he comes up and says this, if the other party does not do his best, it will be difficult to say.

But now give the other party a first refusal of Guo Ming, and the new condition, they may not refuse, the most important thing is that after refusing once, if this second thing is not done well, then Dahan will have an excuse at that time, right?

This can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the later destruction of Persia, after all, in the current situation of Persia, it wants to completely eliminate the Arab army...... Actually, it's difficult, mainly because Persia is too chaotic now.

Of course, if they really wiped out, of course it would be better, because according to what their strategic department summed up, Persia's war potential was far inferior to that of a nascent Arab empire, and if the Arab empire really annexed Persia, then the Han would spend several times more than the power to destroy Persia.

So now, no matter what, it's all about weakening the forces of both sides, and it's also about buying time for the big Han.

These are all strategies put forward by Huo Gang, even if Huo Gang knew that the Arabs completely wiped out Persia in about 656, and about 651 the entire family of Isai III was almost killed by the Arabs, and one of Isai's sons also ran to the Tang Dynasty for help, and the Tang Dynasty was the emperor of Li Zhi at that time, and even let the son of Isai establish the Persian Protectorate in the position of Iran in later generations.

However, because Is'ai's son went a little late, when Persia was completely wiped out by Arabia, Is'ai's son was recalled to the Tang Dynasty and was named the general of the Right Guard. These are all histories that Huo Gang knows, according to the words of 651, there are still more than ten years, which is enough for the development of the Han Dynasty.

But knowing that the future is a strong enemy, Huo Gang can block the enemy now, so it is naturally impossible to make the enemy stronger.

"Hire the Persian army?" Isai asked in amazement.

"Yes, we can use armor, weapons, food, etc., as funds, and hire Persian troops to attack the Arabs." Guo Ming immediately spoke.

Hearing Guo Ming say this, Is'a's whole expression instantly lit up, because this is a huge good news for Persia, first of all, the armor of the Han is a world civilization, not only Persia, even Persia's sworn enemy Byzantium knows it, both of them have tried to buy it from the Han.

But they were all rejected by the Great Han, and now the Great Han is actually willing to send funds to fund them Persia to attack the Arabs? This was great news for them in Persia! You know, these Arabs have actually occupied part of the territory of Persia, but Persia has never had enough strength to destroy them.

Now that someone is willing to pay them to do what they should have done in Persia, how could Isai not be overjoyed, and at the same time, Isai suddenly had a new understanding of Guo Ming's mouth, the ambition issued by their Han leader.

It seems that these Han people are really crazy for their leader, or the leader of the Han is really willing to spend money in order to fulfill his promise, but it is a good thing to be willing to spend money, which is a huge good thing for them in Persia.

Of course, on the surface, Isai did not leak any expression, he held back the joy in his heart, and then said with some embarrassment: "Ambassador Guo, this ...... Persia is a powerful country, and the Persian army is naturally also the army of the Persian royal family, how can the army of one country fight for another country for money? ”

Guo Ming smiled, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't know anything, at least these Arabs are encroaching on the land of Persia, I know this, can it be said that Persia doesn't care about this?" Cooperation between us is a win-win situation, after all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend. ”

"We have locked down the enemy, and if we want to, we can actually work directly with the Arab leaders to hand over the murderer, and we will pay the other side armor and weapons, and I think the other side is very willing. Your Majesty, what do you say? ”

"Of course, our leader is unwilling to cooperate with the enemy, so he chose Persia, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" Guo Ming asked with a smile.

A cold sweat broke out in Is'e's heart, what Guo Ming said...... Of course, Isai knew that the other party could do it, and it was not that the other party could not contact the other party, they blocked the land, but there was no way to block the sea.

Persian merchants have always traded with the surrounding countries through sea ships, and it is impossible for the Han to trade without sea ships, and it is not impossible for the other side to trade with the Arabs.

"Of course, the leader really understands the righteousness, the Arabs are a group of sinners, they are not worthy of cooperation with the Han, nor are they worthy of the leader's attention, Minister Guo is right, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. We are friends with Dahan. ”

"What Minister Guo said, I can consider it, I don't know how much your leader is willing to give? Let my Persian army catch the murderer for you big man?! Isai took a deep breath and spoke decisively.
