Chapter 951: The King
Great Qin had two feudal states in Central Asia.
The Han Kingdom and the Roman Empire were getting closer, and the Sassanids naturally found the way to the Xia Kingdom.
Moreover, they also inquired about the delicate relationship between the Xia Kingdom and the Han Kingdom.
"Honorable His Royal Highness King Xia, I heard that you are the eldest son of the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and according to our laws, the eldest son has the greatest inheritance right! We Sassanids are willing to be your staunchest allies! "The lobbyist Shimogan came from the family of Yin Sparbundan, one of the seven great families of Persia.
The family was known throughout Persian history for producing poets and scholars.
When Great Qin moved westward, it was this family that was the first to carry out research on Great Qin.
The rise of the Han Kingdom like a comet made Yang Yi feel a little uncomfortable.
The value of this land is far greater than he expected, and as Yang Zheng's eldest son, he also inherited Yang Zheng's greed and desire for land.
Sometimes, this ambition even surpasses that of Yang Zheng himself.
Especially in Central Asia, there are too many borderlands.
Yang Yi was like a vicious wolf crashing into the flock.
If Xia Guo can have a river...... Then in an instant, a great empire will rise in the city.
The things that the Xia Kingdom lacked the most, the Han Kingdom had all of them, but no matter how big Yang Yi's ambition was, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only bury this ambition deep in his heart.
He deeply knew who Du Yu was, and he also knew that there were many Jinyiwei and Xuanyilang in the Xia Kingdom......
In this secret conversation, Yang Yi didn't even bring his three brothers.
These three brothers have their own thoughts, and Yang Yi no longer expects them to help him.
The second child, Zhao Xiong, is thoughtful and never willing to express his position easily, and Yang Yi even suspects that he is the head of the Zhenfu Division in the Xia Kingdom.
The third child, Xiahou Xu, is the queen's nephew and the prince's cousin......
The fourth Li Zhen, on the surface, is a reckless man, and he picks up his own throne every day...... In fact, he is more monkey than anyone else......
"Let's just say it, what do you want, what can you give to this king!" Yang Yi's eyes were shining.
Secretly joining forces with Sassanid is indeed a good choice.
"We need Your Highness to send a cavalry to bypass the Caspian Sea from the north, flank the Caucasus from the north and south, and destroy the main army of the Romans, and after the deed is done, all the lands north of the Aral Sea belong to Your Highness!" Hemogan's tongue is like a yellow.
Yang Yi sneered, "If this king's army can reach the Caucasus, it will naturally take the land north of the Aral Sea, and you still need to decide who these lands belong to?" ”
"Respect Your Highness, of course you can capture these lands, but without the support of our Persians, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend these places under the attack of the Slavs, this cooperation is just the beginning, in the future, after the destruction of the Roman Empire, there will be a larger land belonging to you, a powerful empire will be born from your hands, and at that time, you will no longer have to look at the face of the Emperor of the Central Plains."
Hemogan was confident that his words would impress the young king.
Before coming, he had collected all the information about Yang Yi and analyzed his personality, preferences, and status and situation in Great Qin.
It can be said that an alliance with the Sassanids is the best option.
But he didn't count it, but he couldn't count that Yang Yi's awe and worship of Yang Zheng had already been deeply rooted in his bone marrow.
As long as Yang Zheng is still in the day, Yang Yi will not do anything rebellious if he has a thousand courages.
"Your Excellency doesn't seem to have heard clearly, what this king is talking about is what you can give, not empty promises!" Yang Yi has been the king of Xia for so many years, so he naturally will not be a political idiot.
It is clear that the Sassanids are trying to empty the gloves of the white wolf.
Who would dare to take such a promise seriously?
Shimogan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that this young king was not easy to deal with, "Looking at the world, only our Sassanid Empire can be a friend of His Highness, I think this is enough." ”
The Sassanid Empire's signboard had great prestige in Central Asia.
But this is only for small countries and tribes in Central Asia, who is Yang Yi?
It makes no sense that a prince and king of Great Qin, when something happens, turns around and relies on the Sassanids.
Yang Yi is not so stupid, "This king now knows why you were defeated, and now the situation is that you Sassanid need this king as an ally, not that this king needs you, look at what your opponent Romans did in Han, if Sassanid does not change, it will definitely be the defeated side!" ”
So far, Sassanid has not had a single official mission of any significance.
Although Great Qin did not ally with Rome, it was already in fact biased towards the Romans.
On this basis, the Sassanids still have a condescending posture, which is not difficult to explain their defeat on the battlefield.
Yang Yi's strong self-confidence overwhelmed Himogan, "Go back, go back and think about it and talk to this king again!" ”
Hemogan looked unwilling to be disappointed, and wanted to persuade again, but was shocked by the majesty in Yang Yi's eyes.
Young and vigorous, calm and calm, but ambitious......
Such a person is obviously not something he can convince with a few words, "Your Royal Highness so respected, I look forward to talking to you in detail next time." ”
Not long after the Sassanid envoy arrived, Zhao Xiong smelled it.
Zhao Xiong's front foot came, and Xiahou Xu's back foot also arrived.
This made Yang Yi even more convinced that the two had their own forces in the Xia Kingdom.
"The Sassanids have come to this king to form an alliance, what do the second and third brothers think?" As Yang Yi, he disdains to deceive his sworn brother.
And an alliance with the Sassanids is not a big deal either.
"Your Highness will refuse." Zhao Xiong glanced at Xiahou Xu.
Yang Yi smiled: "Oh? Why is the second brother so determined? ”
"The Sassanid people came secretly, which shows that they are not really in an alliance, and they are intended to provoke the relationship between the three parties of the Xia and Han Western Regions Protectorate, Your Highness should be cautious."
"Haha, worthy of being the second brother." Yang Yi admired.
Xiahou Xu arched his hand and said: "The younger brother thinks that if Sassanid really allies with His Highness, it is not impossible, but he can follow the example of the Han State and secretly win over the people who are close to me in Daqin, one is to export my Confucian teachings, and the other is that it can also be used by His Highness in the future." ”
As long as Yang Yi does not openly raise the flag to rebel, Yang Xiong and Xiahou Xu are still on his side.
A three-legged pattern in Central Asia has been formed.
The Xia State, which occupies the Seven Rivers Valley and the Kangju Southern Domain, is the strongest, and it has been thirteen years since the founding of the country.
Yang Yi has 13,000 elite troops, and the conventional strength is already as high as 50,000.
Many herdsmen in the Xia Kingdom were natural cavalry.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand that Du is going to restrict the Xia Kingdom.
Of course, the imperial court and Du Yu only wanted to restrict, not kill with a stick.
Therefore, Yang Yi has some special actions, which are also within the scope of tolerance.
Since the direction of the Han export was Rome, it was not impossible for the Xia to export influence to Sasania.
Underneath the seven Sassanid families, there is still a lot of empty space.
Under the rule of the Persians, there were other non-religious groups, and the great cannibals of the south were always on the verge of rebellion, setting off several rebellions.
"Second brother and third brother, don't worry, the Sassanids will still come to the door." Yang Yi said firmly.
His temperament is also becoming more and more like a king.
