In the capital of the Persian king, Xue Rengui looked at the military report sent by Pei Xingjian, and the Persian army of Umar had retreated to the city of Maha, and the victory of the Amu Darya was not small.

But there were still 200,000 cannibals in the city of Maha, and they began to slaughter camels and horses for food.

This battle was won, and it completely shattered the self-confidence that the Great Cannibal had always had.

Pei Xingjian led 30,000 people to build an earthen city in the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River, intending to stick there in order to curb the big food, so that the water source in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya was cut off again.

It is best to wait for work at ease, wait and see what happens, and grind the big cannibal to death at the lowest cost.

Xue Rengui listened to An Yanyan's words, and said that this person was not a Tang person, nor was he his subordinate, this person was just helping Zhang Shangshu and helping Anxi Army.

This man has a very wide network of contacts in Persia and even in the Western Regions.

He can't be blamed for just leaving for three or two days.

Xue Rengui put down the military report in his hand and pondered: "So, they sent envoys to make peace?" ”

An Yanyan always had a calm smile on his face, "Umar is the Harry of the Great Food, and now the son-in-law who holds the power of the Great Food Prophet is seriously ill. ”

Xue Rengui did not like to live in the low earthen houses of the Persian royal capital, although the Persian king Belus once invited him to live in the royal city.

This was all rejected by Xue Rengui, firstly, he was nominally a person who came to aid Persia, and secondly, he would leave a tongue on himself, it was not good for a general to stay in the royal city, not to mention that he was an outsider.

These rules must be followed, and as for what to do in the future, he prefers to believe in Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian is a very smart person and the person he trusts the most.

Xue Rengui looked at the people from the Western Regions coming and going in this city, and there were Persian women who cast coquettish glances at the Tang people before, but under the angry scolding of the Liu family, the Persian women here also restrained themselves and did not dare to provoke the Tang people.

The last Persian woman who dared to approach the Tang people was beaten ten boards, and now she can't get off the ground.

This is a march, and where the army is, it must obey the military system.

She didn't want the Anxi army to be made into a miasma by these Persian women, and the army had to have its own killing atmosphere.

Xue Rengui agreed with his wife's behavior at this point.

He stood up and asked, "So, they want 'Umar to stop his crusade against Persia, and the son-in-law of the deceased prophet of the Great Eclipse is seriously ill and needs the man of great prestige, 'Umar, to return to preside over the situation?" ”

An Yanyan nodded heavily, "Probably like this." ”

Xue Rengui turned his back and whispered: "I just led the troops to garrison the Persian royal capital, and as for the collection of the big cannibals and the current decision, they were handed over to Pei Duhu." ”

The Tang people were strictly disciplined, which was the impression of the Persians here.

An Yan bowed and saluted, "I will let someone hand over the news to Pei Duhu." ”

"No need, someone will arrange for someone to send the news over."

"Hmm."

An Yanyan replied and bowed back.

After walking away, the old slave next to him whispered: "After all, they don't recognize that the master is a Tang person, and the master can't be a part of them, even if they help them do so much, they still won't recognize the master." ”

An Yanyan replied with a straight face: "I never thought of really being a Tang person. ”

"The hosts did so much for them and they didn't thank the hosts at all."

"I don't need them to thank you."

An Yanyan sped up his pace and left the Persian royal capital, and the people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu were taken by Tian Khan, and not many people knew about this matter.

The reason why he did this for Tang Jun was also to negotiate conditions with Zhang Yang in the future.

The Persians are not terrible, the big cannibals are not terrible, Zhang Yang, who is far away in Chang'an City, is the most terrible person, and Tian Khan is the most ambitious person.

The megalomaniacal cannibals had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.

Tian Khan is not a kind emperor, Zhang Yang is a devil, and during his years as the official department, Datang's appetite has become bigger and bigger.

Just this time, An Yanyan didn't believe that Datang would be so kind to help Persia recover, let alone save Persia.

The more the Tang do for Persia now, the more Persia will have to pay back in the future.

In the royal capital, Belus gathered many Persians who had fled and put these Persians back together, and he, the king of Persia, finally had a look.

With the return of the Persian royal capital, more and more Persians moved back.

The population here gradually increased, and under the arrangement of Wang Xuance, the Persian kings began to rebuild.

Judging from the news brought by An Yanyan, in addition to the 300,000 army led by Umar, there were more great cannibals west of the Persian king's capital.

Even if the Amu Darya War was won, the situation in Persia was not optimistic.

Xue Rengui thought in his heart, how to deal with the counterattack of the big cannibal next, relying on the two hundred earth mines in his hands?

No matter how powerful the soil mines are, the results are limited.

A few days later, Pei Xingjian came to the Persian royal capital, and the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River were temporarily guarded by the Gaochang people.

Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui went out of the city to greet them, and the three of them finally walked together again.

Belus formed a simple Persian court, so simple that it was just a matter of arranging for people to do things for him.

Greeted by the great gift of the new Persian king, Pei Xingjian, the capital of Anxi, escorted into this royal city.

"This is the largest city in Persia?" Pei Xingjian asked.

"Yes." Belus's demeanor and posture are humble, and he follows all the way.

The Persians on both sides of the road knelt down and saluted the Tang man, not daring to look up at this still youthful Tang official.

Pei Xingjian stopped in front of the Persian royal city and looked at the entire dome of the palace in front of him, showing no interest in this strange building.

Retracted his gaze and asked Xue Rengui, "When will the envoy of the Great Food come here?" ”

"I said I still have three days to go."

Pei Xingjian sat down on the stone steps in front of the royal city, he looked at the Persians kneeling on both sides of the street, he was just an Anxi protector, and it was obviously too much for Belus to arrange this kind of gift on his own initiative.

"Then wait for the big cannibals to come and talk about it." Pei Xingjian looked at Xue Rengui on the side again, "Brother Xue, I have already arranged for someone to send the results of the battle to the court, just wait for the reward." ”

Xue Rengui nodded heavily.

Belus humbly bowed and stood aside.

Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and Wang Xuance sat on the stone steps of the royal city together and discussed the next arrangements in a low voice.

And the Persians still knelt on the ground until the three Tang men left.

After another three days, the spies of Maha City sent news that there was indeed an epidemic in the city, and Maha burned many soldiers who were infected with the epidemic in order to ensure his own safety.

The plague cost Umar thousands more men in his arms.

It's just that the other party's movements are very fast, and they quickly cut off the source of the epidemic soldiers.

On this day, the messenger of the Great Cannibal arrived, and the person who came was a great cannibal with a very long beard and a large nose.

Blue eyes, in his fifties.

Pei Xingjian set up a negotiation battle in front of the Persian royal city, and there were two other people beside this person, on the right was a big cannibal woman, she covered her hair and face with a cloth, and only a pair of blue eyes were exposed.

And to the left of this great eclipse messenger is an acquaintance of the Central Plains, the Khan of the Western Turks.

Originally, I didn't believe it, but I didn't want this person to really serve Da Shi.

"Honorable General Datang, I am a servant of the prophet." The messenger of the great food bowed and said.

"I am the protector of the Tang Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and this time I came to aid Persia on the orders of the Khan." Pei Xingjian arched his hand.

The Great Food Envoy first nodded, then bowed, "Is Datang going to war with Great Food?" ”

Pei Xingjian drank the tea brought from the Central Plains and said with a smile: "This envoy is wrong, we are here to aid Persia, not to start a war with Dashi. ”

Hearing this, the messenger of the Great Food frowned and said, "The Great Tang Dynasty fought with Umar and killed so many Great Cannibals, isn't this a war with the Great Food?" ”

This Great Food Messenger's Guanzhong speech is not good, and he can barely understand it.

Pei Xingjian bowed his head and said: "Our Tang Dynasty has always been fighting for peace, it was your cannibals who attacked the Persians first, so that we came to our aid, and when we entered Maha City, it was also Umar who was the first to offend." ”

"Not only that, but 'Umar has come to attack our troops and horses in the upper reaches of the Amu Darya."

"That's because you cut off the water supply." The mud said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the Great Emissary was displeased.

Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "It was Umar who attacked Maha City first, and we cut off the water source to deal with it, but Umar not only didn't think about talking about peace, but he came to attack us. ”

At this point, Pei Xingjian slapped the case and said loudly: "It was you Dashi who started a war with our Datang first!" The Persians, the people of the Western Regions, and the Gaochang people can all testify! ”

The Persians standing behind Pei Xingjian all nodded and whispered.

Knowing that he was wrong, the Great Eclipse Messenger fell silent again.

Ni Xiao stared at this Pei Duhu, this person was also from the Chang'an Foreign Academy, and he heard about this person's origin as soon as he arrived at the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

I don't know what's wrong, since Zhang Yang took charge of Tang diplomacy, these Tang officials have behaved very similarly to him.

In the face of the foreign minister's strength, the means are tough, and no one can refute it.

This time, the big cannibal went to attack the city of Maha, which was garrisoned by the Tang army, so that the big cannibal lost the opportunity in negotiations.

Ni Xiao was secretly surprised in his heart, this Du Hu is not easy to deal with, and his behavior is no different from that Zhang Yang.

The Great Food Envoy whispered: "We, Great Food, are willing to make peace with the Tang Dynasty. ”

These words made Pei Xingjian smile, "How to reconcile?" ”

The messenger of the Great Food saluted sincerely, "The Great Food is willing to share the territory of Persia with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Pei Xingjian drank tea and poured him another bowl, "Let's not talk about these things first, the envoy will taste the tea leaves of our Central Plains." ”

The Great Food Envoy looked strangely at the few dried leaves floating in the bowl, and saw that the Tang man in front of him was still unsatisfied after drinking, he also picked up the bowl and took a sip, and said "I prefer your wine from the Central Plains." ”

Pei Xingjian sat down again, glanced at the Persian king Belus on the side, and when he heard that he was going to jointly divide the territory of Persia, his expression was obviously even more embarrassed.

It is also said that the national honor of a country is in the hands of others, and if you think about it from your own perspective, even if you hear that the two outsiders divide your family property equally, you will definitely be uncomfortable.

But this is the current situation of Persia, in front of the two most powerful countries in the world today, Persia has no right to speak.

It's just that every time this emissary makes a decision, he has to look at the eclipse woman beside him.

This atmosphere is very strange, and Pei Xingjian even suspects that the real messenger of this negotiation is not the old man who is over half a hundred years old in front of him, but this woman.

As if noticing Pei Xingjian's gaze, the woman lowered her head slightly to avoid her gaze.

Pei Xingjian looked at the Persian envoy again, "Then let me tell me what the conditions are?" ”

The Great Food Envoy smiled: "Respected Datang Duhu, please speak." ”

"First of all, Umar must die, he offended our Tang Dynasty, and also intercepted the old king of Persia."

"No! Umar must be returned to the Great Eater. ”

The messenger refused decisively.

Pei Xingjian was very tired of the hot and dry climate here, and used a fan to cover the scorching sun on his face, and said: "Then there is no need to talk about it, I will trap Umar to death, and if you cannibals want to come, you big cannibals will come to attack, but it is a big deal that we will retreat to the Western Regions of the Central Plains." ”

For the Great Cannibal, Umar is now trapped in the city of Maha, short of water, and there was a plague before the food was cut out, and the devil knows how long he can live in that city, and now the Great Eclipse needs him to return to preside over the overall situation.

At this point, the Tang people are more advantageous.

The Great Food Envoy glanced at the woman beside him again, and lowered his posture again, "I don't know what kind of conditions Datang wants to let Umar leave Maha." ”

The mud whispered a few words to the Great Eclipse Messenger, and the two sides fell into an argument with the Great Eclipse.

Talking to the Tang people about conditions? Especially the officials of the Foreign Affairs Academy brought out by Zhang Yang, this is the sheep into the tiger's mouth, and as soon as they open their mouths, the price is sky-high.

Pei Xingjian smiled: "Have you finished chatting?" ”

The Great Food Envoy came back to his senses, saluted again, and replied in an unfamiliar Guanzhong dialect: "Please also ask Datang to open conditions." ”

"Hmm." Pei Xingjian nodded first, stood up and said, "It's okay to ask Umar to go back, first of all, except for him, the rest of the big cannibals can't go back, they need to stay here to do hard labor for us and help us build a city." ”

The Great Emissary nodded in response.

Pei Xingjian said: "Besides, the great cannibals must give up all the land that was originally Persian. ”

"That was the prophet who led us down, and those maps no longer belong to Persia, but to the land of God."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the face of the woman next to him, and lowered his head again, "Pei Duhu please continue." ”

Pei Xingjian looked at the mud on the side, "This person must be returned to Datang and handed over to Datang to dispose of." ”

The Great Food Envoy glanced at the flustered mud and nodded, "You can hand it over to Datang now." ”

Only this mud man knows the Tang people best, he understands the situation in the Western Regions, also understands the official structure of the Tang Dynasty, and understands the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

If this kind of person remains in the army of the Great Cannibals, it will be a hidden danger and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Pei Xingjian looked at the masked woman on the side, "You might as well come and say, I'm tired of seeing you pass glances to each other." ”

The masked woman whispered two sentences in the language of big food.

The Great Emissary took over the words and nodded, "The goddess said that she was willing to exchange half of the land for 'Umar. ”
