The more this happened, the more furious Martel's heart became.

On this day, the palace governor quietly came to his palace and conveyed to him the will of the queen Kent Tanka, asking him to mobilize the navy dependents in Constantsburg and send them to the Admiralty.

Hearing that there was such a big problem with the Admiralty, Martel suddenly became excited. He said in his heart: "No wonder that old guy Stefan hasn't come to trouble me recently, it turns out that he can't wipe his own butt clean, so he can't take care of it." Ha ha! ”

He said to the palace steward, "Please tell Her Royal Highness that the queen will do his duty to handle this matter." ”

After such a long period of investigation, Wang Xuance also found that in the Eastern Roman Empire, Archduke Stefan was an extremely difficult military commander to deal with, and if he wanted to defeat the Romans, it was best to get rid of Archduke Stefan first. He had already reported the results of the investigation to Li You.

The fortress is the easiest to breach internally, and instigating internal chaos on the enemy is Li You's consistent method, and he agrees with Wang Xuance's opinion and has been playing this idea.

The Tang army has captured three groups of Roman naval personnel, and after interrogation, they have basically grasped the internal problems of the Roman navy, as well as the contradictions between Archduke Stefan and Constans II.

Li You planned to use the daughter and son-in-law of Archduke Stefan to exchange for Wang Huili and others, leaving some Roman officers and soldiers, and then let out the wind and encourage the dependents of these people to ask for people from Archduke Stefan.

When things get bigger, add a fire and expose the problems of the small treasury inside the Roman navy, and I am not afraid that Archduke Stefan will not step down.

Li You didn't expect that his idea would coincide with Kent Tanka.

Umar accompanied the Marquis de Parvaro, the negotiator of the Roman navy, to the fleet of the Don army.

Marquis Parvaro was already extremely shocked when he saw the Tang fleet, and when he boarded the huge ironclad ship, the horror in his heart was even more incomprehensible. He understood why the two fleets in front of him would quietly come and go.

In the face of such a formidable enemy, he thought that even if he fought all the Roman navy, he was probably not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty. He now hated the fools in the city hall of Constantinople very much, and he was full of food and support, and went to provoke the Tang people for no reason.

Li You personally received them.

After meeting Li You, the Marquis of Pavaro had lowered his expectations of the objectives of the negotiations, and the negotiations went very smoothly.

The two sides reached an agreement, the Romans released Wang Huili and others, and compensated 220 boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and other property, and the Tang Dynasty released the daughters and sons-in-law of the Grand Duke Stefan and other high-ranking officers, as well as all the captured naval officers, as well as 2,000 Roman naval soldiers and 30 Roman warships.

The Marquis of Pavaro was not worried about not being able to return all the captured officers and soldiers, because he had already figured out what was going on, because Martel and the others had offended the Tang Dynasty people first, and this responsibility should be paid by them, and the navy was not at fault.

After the two sides reached an agreement, the Marquis of Parvaro immediately sent someone back to bring Wang Huili and others to exchange hostages.

Feeling that this was too slow, Umar suggested sending a telegram to his retinue in Constantinople informing Archduke Stefan of the outcome of the negotiations.

Marquis Parvaro couldn't have imagined that Tang Jun still had such a magical ability to transmit sound for thousands of miles, and he was shocked again. In the content of the telegram, he mentioned the address of his home, the names of his parents, wife and children, and some information that Archduke Stefan was able to confirm his identity, so that the Tang Dynasty people could gain the trust of Archduke Stefan.

Li You hosted a banquet for the Marquis de Parvaro, the daughter and son-in-law of Archduke Stefan, as well as some high-ranking officers of the Roman navy and their dependents.

After the feast, the Marquis de Parvaro made a request to visit the ironclad.

Li You generously complied with the request of the Marquis de Parvaro and allowed him to lead the Romans attending the banquet to visit the party.

During the visit, Li You also specially arranged for the artillery to fire a salvo to smash a captured Roman naval warship in front of them.

The Marquis de Parvaro and the others were stunned, and the ladies who visited together were even more frightened and screamed.

Li You was not worried that the Romans would be able to understand the strength of the Tang Army, in the face of such a powerful Tang Army, even if the Romans knew, they had no choice but to increase their psychological panic.

Li You not only wanted to send these high-ranking officers back, but also to send back 2,000 Roman naval soldiers, that is, to let them go back to spread panic about the powerful Tang Navy and shake their military morale.

At the end of the visit, the Marquis de Parvaro again asked to see Li You, and he offered to add another 30 boxes of jewels to the Tang army, on only one condition - to ask the Tang army to hand over the Marquis of Huni to them to bring back with them.

It turned out that after being betrayed by the Roman navy, Huni had already guessed with his cleverness that the Roman navy would never tolerate him, and returning to the Roman navy was a dead end.

During the interrogation, he took the initiative to explain the contradictions within the Roman navy, and his condition was that he could not be handed over to the negotiators of the Roman navy, lest they kill him.

Li You still had a useful place to keep the Marquis of Huni, so he naturally refused the request of the Marquis of Pavaro.

Li You was very embarrassed, he said that he had promised Hu Ni to let him stay with the Tang army for the time being, and the Tang Dynasty people were trustworthy and could not go back on their word.

Subsequently, the White Tiger also specially told Huni about the Marquis of Pavaro's request to hand over Huni to him to bring back. Huni asked the White Tiger to convey his gratitude to His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

At the time of the lamp, Li You, Liu Renliang and others were discussing how to use the contradictions in Rome to divide and disintegrate the Romans, but the magpie sent bad news.

It turned out that Marquis Martel, as the mayor of Constantinople, controlled the management of the entire city, and he easily spread the news of the disappearance of a large number of Roman naval officers and sailors throughout the city, and encouraged the dependents of the Roman navy to go to the Roman Admiralty dignitaries.

The news immediately caused panic among the Roman admirals, who feared for the safety of their families and flocked to the Roman Admiralty.

Among these family members were the family members of the really missing naval officers and sailors, and there were also those family members who were on duty in the navy, and they did not know whether their relatives had also disappeared, and they also came to make trouble with them, and soon the number reached tens of thousands.

Kent Tanka sent men to closely monitor the movements of the Admiralty, and deliberately sent people to spread all kinds of horrific news to fan the flames and put pressure on the Roman Admiralty.8)
