Anka City, the head of the city.

All the soldiers of the Second Army were dressed in linen and filial piety, and their helmets were covered with white cloths.

They were really sad, they didn't expect the emperor to die like this.

Tang heard the news that Bai was not dead, and only those henchmen knew.

Ordinary big-headed soldiers, naturally, it is impossible to tell them.

After all, no one knows if there are Persian spies in these armies of Dayan.

And at this moment, the city has already been fortified several times.

In the distance, Gongsun Yi had already led an army of 300,000 to push the siege vehicle and began to attack Anka City.

Huang Zhong smiled disdainfully at this and began to order the army to fight back.

The rolling wood thunder stone kept dropping the city wall, and at the same time, the warriors bent their bows and arrows in unison, and shot the arrows in their hands with all their might.

Kill and wound as many enemy troops as possible.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is going crazy, it's this group of Persian miscellaneous people who sent people to assassinate the emperor, and suddenly the emperor will not die, what a good person the emperor is, give us silver, give us land, and give us a daughter-in-law, now the emperor has been killed by this gang of miscellaneous pieces, I want to avenge the emperor and kill them all!"

"Me too, these Persian brutes don't dare, they just hide behind and poison them, what a bunch of garbage."

"Today, if Lao Tzu didn't stone ten Persian beasts to death, Lao Tzu would not be worthy of becoming a qualified soldier in the Second Army."

“……”

On the city wall, all the warriors desperately threw the rolling wood thunder stone off the city wall.

Soon, the day's fighting ended.

The Persian army paid at least nearly fifty thousand men.

On the side of the Second Army, there were almost no casualties.

After all, they are condescending and still on the defensive.

The battle was still fierce on the second day, and it was the same on the third day.

And it was on the third day that the Persian reinforcements arrived in a million-strong army.

Obviously, Persia was preparing to exterminate Tang Tingbai's army with all the strength of the whole country.

Three days of fierce fighting followed, with losses on both sides.

At the same time, the First Army also rushed back to Anka City to participate in the defensive battle.

And the Roman side has already sent troops.

Attack the Persian hinterland from behind.

The armies of Dayan and Rome cooperated with each other, and the battle went well.

In just half a month, the Persian army lost nearly half a million people.

That's 500,000 lives.

In desperation, Persia retreated, and admitted to giving up Anka, Bulu, and the two state capitals occupied by Rome, and promised not to attack these four state capitals.

Anka City, the city lord's mansion.

Tang Tingbai sat in a chair, and opposite him was Kevin, the tenth prince of Rome.

At this moment, Kevin's face was full of excitement: "Haha, Brother Tang didn't expect that our plan would really succeed, and we also wiped out hundreds of thousands of Persian troops, I estimate that Persia will not recover within three years!" ”

Tang Tingbai nodded with a smile: "Yes, this time we can trade between our two countries with confidence." ”

After speaking, Tang Tingbai looked at Kevin and said in a solemn tone: "Ten Princes, I heard that your Rome is rich in grain, so I plan to buy your Rome's grain, what do you think?" ”

Grain?

Kevin was stunned.

He couldn't figure it out, food wasn't worth much.

And it seems that Dayan is not very short of food, right?

But Kevin thought about it, Dayan now has a lot of newly occupied territory, and the local people are also very poor, so it is normal that they can't afford to eat.

In order to maintain the stability of Dayan, Tang Tingbai bought grain from them, which was reasonable.

In other words, the current Dayan needs food.

If that's the case, you can consider pit Dayan for a sum of money.

"Brother Tang, that's the case, although the trade route between our two countries has been opened up now, but after all, the road is far away, if we transport grain to Dayan, the consumption on the road is not small, so the price may be more expensive."

Kevin pretended to be helpless.

"Our grain in Rome is not cheap, one tael of silver and one hundred catties of rice, although we do make money in Rome by selling you grain, but I can't pit you, I have to tell you, our Roman people live well, and they have some money, so the price is relatively expensive."

A tael of silver and a hundred catties of rice?

Tang Tingbai frowned, it is indeed expensive.

And it's huge.

However, for the sake of his own plan, Tang Tingbai still nodded: "No problem, then I will first ask for 100 million taels of silver." ”

100 million taels of silver for grain?

Kevin was stunned.

He didn't expect Tang Tingbai to buy so much in one go.

You know, 100 million taels of silver is 10 billion catties of grain.

Of course, this grain was nothing to them in Rome, and they could take it.

Kevin nodded, "No problem, but we need to buy things like mirrors, rouge gouache, and ceramics from Dayan." ”

Tang Tingbai also nodded with a smile: "This is no problem, I will prepare immediately after returning to Dayan, and when you bring the rice, I will bring the mirrors and porcelain back to Rome by the way." ”

After everything was discussed, Kevin left.

And after Kevin left, another person walked in the city lord's mansion.

This person is also an old acquaintance of Tang Tingbai.

Prince Sun Yi of Persia.

At this moment, Gongsun Yi's face was ugly.

He looked at Tang and listened to Bai Leng snort.

"Tang Tingbai, the war is over, you have taken such a big advantage, what do you want to do now when you are looking for this prince?"

"It's not enough to occupy my Persian princess, do you still want the life of this prince?"

Gongsun Yi was very angry and unwilling.

Some time ago, the battle of a million armies was commanded by him.

Although this battle caused a lot of casualties to the Great Yan army, their casualties were even greater.

Until now, Gongsun Yi couldn't figure out why things had come to this point?

They Persia obviously had the advantage, but why did they lose so completely?

Tang Tingbai smiled, he stood up and walked in front of Gongsun Yi, and his tone was calm: "Don't be angry, uncle, we are all a family, if you say so, don't you see outside." ”

Family?

Hearing these three words, Gongsun Yi became angry.

He pointed at Tang Tingbai angrily: "Fart, who is the same family as you?" Who is your eldest brother? ”

Tang Tingbai still had a smile on his face: "Uncle, that's the case, I came to you to talk about a cooperation with you." ”

Cooperate?

Gongsun Yi frowned.

Although he was angry, he was not a fool.

What kind of cooperation does Tang Tingbai's dog thing have with him?

"Uncle brother is like this, our Dayan is short of food, so I want to spend money to buy grain from you Persia, how about one tael of silver and one hundred catties?"

This......

After listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Gongsun Yi, who was originally angry, also calmed down.

Because one tael of silver and one hundred catties of grain, this price is indeed quite high.

Although Tang Tingbai and Dayan are not good things.

But he didn't have to get along with the money.

Besides, now he has lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops in vain, causing his status in the court to get lower and lower.

If you can help Persia make some money, you can make up for it, and maybe there will be a chance to fight for that position in the future.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yi looked at Tang Tingbai: "Okay, I promise you, how much are you going to buy?" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "Uncle, because it is the first time you and I have cooperated, so I need 100 million taels of silver for the time being, if this cooperation goes well, I will have a big order of one billion taels of silver next, how about it?" ”

A billion silver?

Gongsun Yi's breathing was a little dignified, and he immediately nodded: "Okay, deal!" ”
