Chapter 936 Meeting with the Sassanid Mission
The king of Shu withdrew from the palace and returned to the palace without stopping.
After three years, he was back in charge of the army and led the army to fight again, which made him very excited.
Whether it is facing the front line bravely fighting the enemy, or the cavalry is the emperor's descendant, and it is not easy to command the battle.
At least contact with military power again, far away from Chang'an.
He firmly believed that building up his exploits at the front would sooner or later regain the opportunity to train his own pro-army.
In the future of the Western Empire, he will lead his army to war. Extend the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the western coastline.
On the same day, the king of Shu packed up and took a hundred horsemen out of Chang'an and went to Tuyuhun.
At the same time, the Ministry of Rites sent out the news that the King of Shu went to the southern provinces to inspect the military and political affairs of various places according to the emperor's instructions.
The next day, the officials of the Sassanid Mission sent a document requesting to meet Yang Yue as soon as possible, and the two sides met to negotiate.
When Yang Yue learned the news, he sent Zhao Xuanhu to summon the Sassanid delegation to the palace.
Sasanian, is the Tang Dynasty's chess piece to contain the Turks, if used properly, after the king of Shu eliminated the Tibetans, he drove the personal expedition to fight the Turks.
In a solemn and solemn ceremony, the Sassanid delegation entered the Xuanzheng Palace, and a group of ten people paid homage to Yang Yue.
In the main hall, Yang Yue and the hundred officials stared at the Sassanid Mission, looking back and forth, and the atmosphere was serious.
Abuli bent slightly, walked out of the mission, saluted Yang Yue, and said: "Your Majesty, the villain will return to Sassanid under the starry night according to the emperor's orders, and report to my king the emperor's holy will, my king is very willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and specially sent the villain to bring the consuls from the east to Chang'an, hoping to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and trade!"
After that, a person walked out of the mission, put his right hand on his chest, saluted Yang Yue, and said jerkyly; "Anthony, I've seen the Tang Emperor!"
Yang Yue stared at Anthony and sighed secretly, feeling that Ah Buli did not return to the Sassanid imperial capital, but only reported to the Sassanid consul in the east and brought the delegation to Chang'an, no wonder they arrived in Chang'an within two months.
Glancing at Anthony, Yang Yue asked coldly: "Anthony, you are the Sasanian consul in the East, should you know about the Turkic affairs and the internal affairs of the Sasanians?" Let's talk about it, what is the current national strength of Sasani, how many troops are deployed on the Eastern Front, the rebellion of the princes in the south, and the invasion of the Great Cannibals, what has happened to your emperor?"
Anthony looked at Yang Yue with confused eyes, Abuli was translating on the side, and soon, Antonio Ula said a lot, Abuli translated to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, the consul said that Sassanid has 200,000 troops in the east to block the Turkic Right Xianwang Department and the Right Valley Liwang Department.
The king sent a strong general in the army, with 100,000 elites, including 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry phalanx, to quell the rebellion, and will soon recover the southern territory, send all the rebellious princes to the guillotine, and expel the invading cannibals!"
Hearing this, Yang Yue snorted, not believing what Anthony said!
If the Sassanids can quell the rebellion in the south and expel the Great Cannibals, how can a dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years be easily occupied by the Great Cannibals a few years later.
However, from Antony's answer, he learned about the deployment of Sassanid troops on the Eastern Front, and vaguely guessed the size of the Sassanid army.
In his impression, in ancient times, the combat corps of the Western countries were never as elite as the Central Plains, and they seemed to be powerful in the West, calling for wind and rain, but for a long time, they could not stop the soldiers of the Central Plains.
Regardless of the armament, the strength of the horses, the tactics and strategy, the two sides are not at the same grade at all.
"Abuli, you told Anthony that the Turkic King of the Right Valley, the King of Youxian, had formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and was sending troops to conquer Tibet, and suggested that after he returned to Sasansan, he would mobilize the elite of the Eastern Front to the south, quell the rebellion of the southern princes as soon as possible, and expel the Great Cannibals.
In addition, the Great Cannibal is eyeing the East, if you learn that Tubo has encountered the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic coalition army is attacking, you will definitely send part of your troops to invade Tubo's territory in the west, at this time, you have a good opportunity to expel the Great Cannibal!"
Yang Yue instructed Abuli that only when Sassanid was stable and put down the rebellion in the southern palace as soon as possible, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks eradicated Tuyuhun, and when Tubo was in Tibet, they secretly formed an alliance with Sasanid to attack from east to west, eradicate the Turks, and completely eliminate the biggest hidden danger in the north.
Abli turned to report to Anthony, and exchanged ears with each other, as if they were discussing something?
Soon, Abuli said to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, the consul said that we came by trekking through mountains and rivers, hoping to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the Turks, and now, the Tang Dynasty has formed an alliance with the Turks, and we are very disappointed!"
"Abuli, the alliance between Datang and the Turks is an internal matter of Datang, what are you disappointed about, don't you meddle in Datang's government affairs?" Zhongshu Ling Gao Xiaoyun suddenly heard Abuli's words, stepped forward, and said angrily: "Tell him, the interests of Datang cannot be harmed!"
Once upon a time, Abuli had been doing business in Chang'an all the year round, and he knew Gao Xiaoyun's identity, and when he saw the other party's sudden anger, he immediately panicked and quickly reported to Anthony.
From the change in Gao Xiaoyun's face, Anthony vaguely noticed that the other party was angry, suddenly heard Abuli's words, bowed down to Yang Yue, and saluted Gao Xiaoyun, what did he say to Abuli?
"Your Majesty, Zhongshu Order, Lord Archon said, Sassanid does not dare to meddle in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and has no strength to interfere, this time, we come to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, do business, and maintain a close relationship!" Abuli was sincerely frightened and reported to Yang Yue and Gao Xiaoyun.
When he was in the palace of the king of Shu, he once witnessed the killing of two big cannibals by the royal family, and when the mission came to Chang'an, he heard that the Tang army had regained Longyou Road, and the army broke into Tuyuhun and fought against Tubo!
The strength of the Tang army should not be underestimated, and its national strength is thriving, so it can become a very important ally of Sasanian!
"The matter of trade, the Tang Dynasty welcomes, to wait for the generals of the Anxi Protectorate, open up the Tang Dynasty's trade route to the West, Sassanid and the Tang Dynasty can communicate with each other, but the alliance is still early, Sassanid should take advantage of the Turkic Right Xian King, the Right Valley Liwang led the army to Tuyuhun and took the lead in quelling the internal rebellion. If the Sassanid quells the internal rebellion, the two sides will surely be able to form an alliance."
At this moment, Yang Yue wanted to delay the alliance with Sassanid, so as not to be detected by Argus, arouse the suspicion of the Turks, and sabotage the campaign on the Western Front.
What's more, when Agus learned that the Tang Dynasty had formed an alliance with the Sasanians, nine times out of ten he would guess the intentions of the Tang Dynasty, once the Turks defected on the front line in order to protect themselves, and colluded with the Tibetans, the pressure on the Tang army on the western front doubled.
His plan to unite with the Sassanids to eradicate the Turks not only failed to succeed, but also brought a crisis to the Tang Dynasty, turning the war on the Western Front into a protracted war, and wasting the Tang Dynasty's national strength in vain.
Trade with Sassanid, paralyze Agus, wait for Sassanid to quell the internal rebellion, and when the national strength is restored, the Tang Army, the Turks, almost eradicate the Tubo, Tuyuhun, at this time, unload the mill and kill the donkey, let the border defenders wave the northern expedition, and fight against the Turks!
That's the sound plan!
Gradually implemented, Datang expanded steadily.
