Chapter 221: Reason

Guo Yuanzhen came to Daming Palace to express his gratitude to Li Jing, and thanked the sage for his trust in him and for allowing him to serve in such an important position.

Since he came back from Yunnan, the saint threw him into the Ministry of Rites as the host and guest Shilang, and this treatment was more than a year, and now he has finally waited for the opportunity!

Suddenly promoted from a fifth-grade official to a second-grade officer, to be honest, he was still a little unable to react at that time!

Dadu Protector, that is the feudal official, the guardian of the Western Regions, the commander, the military and political power, such an important position, can fall on his head, that is the saint looks up to him, however, he Guo Yuanzhen also has this ability!

"I left you in the Ministry of Rites, have you ever resented me?"

Li Jing looked at Guo Yuanzhen and said.

"The minister has never resented, whatever the saint asks the minister to do, the minister will do!"

Resentment is useless, he Guo Yuanzhen is not a child, and going to the main guest of the Ministry of Rites is also a normal transfer of the imperial court.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with being a langzhong, as a courtier, just do your duty!

He believes that as long as it is gold, it will shine everywhere, he is a virtuous minister, and the saint is a Ming monarch, and it is impossible for him to stay in the main and guest division all the time.

Entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it was a matter of time or time, but I didn't expect it to rise so quickly!

"This time you go to the Western Regions to be the protector of the Anxi capital, in addition to handling the relationship between the countries in the Western Regions and protecting the smooth flow of the Silk Road, there is one more thing you need to do!"

"I don't know what's going on?"

Guo Yuanzhen wondered, what else could he do, he needed to do it, and even did not hesitate to promote the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate!

Could it be that there is something wrong in the Western Regions, and it urgently needs to be solved by the protection of the Anxi capital.

No, as the host and guest Shiro, if something really goes wrong in the Western Regions, it is impossible not to hear the wind at all.

"Persian King Nineshi, now he is in Tocharo, you go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, immediately find the Persian King Ninishi, and find a way to help him recover Persia."

This is Li Jing's true intention, to support the Ninishi to fight for the territory of Persia, and spread the influence of the Tang Dynasty to further places.

At the same time, we must also be prepared to fight a protracted war with Da Shi, and let Guo Yuanzhen go to the Western Regions this time, which is to let him negotiate with Da Shi by the way, and Da Shi will withdraw from the Khorasan region, and he will not be allowed to take another step to the east from now on.

Da Shi expands westward, Datang can not care, if he has to go against Da Tang, Da Tang does not mind sending troops to destroy Da Shi.

"Is the saint planning to attack the Great Eclipse?"

Guo Yuanzhen didn't expect that the saint was so crazy, and there were still many contradictions within Datang that had not been resolved, so he wanted to conquer the outside world.

As far as he knows, the strength of Da Shi is not weak, and the territory area is not smaller than that of Datang, and it may even be larger.

Although it is good to expand the territory, it is not a simple matter to conquer the enemy of such a large territory!

"No, how can it be said to be an attack? It should be recovered, at the beginning, Emperor Gaozong was in the hometown of Persia and set up the Persian Governor's Mansion in Jiling City. ”

"That is the westernmost point of the Tang Dynasty, the front line against the Great Eclipse, where the strategic location is very important, and it is the bridgehead to stop the Great Eclipse from attacking eastward."

"We must take it back, I must let Da Shi know that we are powerful, so that Da Shi will not dare to invade to the east, and the territory of Datang does not allow outsiders to trample on it at will!"

The ambition of Da Shi's eastward expansion can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!

When it comes to the influence of the Persian homeland, in addition to the Great Eclipse, there is only the prince of the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia, Ni Nishi, who is more prestigious than the army of the Tang Dynasty.

If we want to solve this problem completely, we must support the Persian king Nineshi to restore the country, so that the name of Persia will resound in Khorasan and other places.

"I understand! Please rest assured, this time I will go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, I will definitely govern the Western Regions well and give the Nini Master enough logistical support. ”

Guo Yuanzhen nodded, he already had a preliminary plan in his heart, this time, in addition to giving the Ninia Division enough security in terms of materials, he would also order all countries to send troops to help the Ninirvana Division.

For example, in the Western Regions, the momentum of the Turgish, the other side has more than 100,000 cavalry, if sent to Khorasan, it will definitely be able to defeat the army of the Great Food.

It is not a problem to recapture the Persian homeland, and by the way, it can also weaken the strength of the thorn of the Turgish, which will be of great help to the Tang Dynasty to rule the Western Regions.

"The minister will definitely let Persia belong to the Tang Dynasty and restore the glory of the Persian Governorship!"

Guo Yuanzhen swore to Li Jing.

"No, you're wrong......"

Guo Yuanzhen was a little confused, why was he wrong, didn't you say that you wanted to recapture Persia from Da Shi?

You're the one who wants the Persian Governorate to return to the city, yes! I just follow your instructions and the plan I have specified, and within three years, I will be able to successfully seize the Khorasan region.

"Persia, either to belong to the Tang Dynasty, Persia, or the Tang Dynasty, it's just that the Persia of the Tang Dynasty was robbed by the robber Dashi, you need to get it back for the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jing corrected Guo Yuanzhen's grammatical mistakes, which was originally Datang's, but it was taken away by Dashi, and now it makes sense for Datang to take it back!

"I understand! Persia is the Persia of the Tang Dynasty!"

Guo Yuanzhen nodded, and then he reacted, the sage originally meant this, so it would be better!

He didn't have to find any other excuses to let the Tuqi Shi send troops, and directly let the Tuqi Shi fight for the Tang Dynasty in the name of the Anxi Daduhu.

Unless, if the Tuqi Shi wants to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tuqi Shi dares to do so, the Anxi Army will destroy the Tuqi Shi first.

"It's good if you know what to do, I decided to send 20,000 new troops to Anxi with you, when it's time to make a move, don't hesitate, if you can solve it through negotiation, try not to do it!"

Li Jing repeatedly told Guo Yuanzhen that even his own army was sent to Guo Yuanzhen, so that he had enough strength to deter Xiaoxiao!

Guo Yuanzhen was very moved after hearing this, the new army's firepower is powerful, and it is not at all comparable to the current Tang army, and the sage actually allocated 20,000 people to him at once, which really moved him!

Now he was more confident in recovering Persia, which had been invaded by the Great Eclipse.

"This time, the minister was appointed as the protector of the capital of Anxi, and the sage entrusted the minister with important tasks, and asked the sage to show the area under the jurisdiction of the Persian Governor's Palace!"

Guo Yuanzhen knew in his heart that when the sage said this, he didn't want to tear his face with Da Shi, and he wanted to regain the territory of Persia and expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty to the west!

But it is not the time for a full-scale war with Da Shi in front of us, so we have to ask how big the Persian Governorate the saint wants, and to be precise, how much land he wants to take back from Da Shi!

As for saying that the saint didn't want to help the Persian king restore the country at all, that is not right, otherwise he would not have allocated 20,000 new troops, which are all new equipment.
