"No, no, no, the Sassanid Empire is just as powerful, we Persians are not easy to mess with, we put an end to the mighty Kushan Empire and send them to the grave!"

A merchant from the Sassanid Empire, waving his broad palm, repeatedly denied that the Great Food Merchant would not be allowed to despise his country.

"You are strong, but you are still beaten by the pseudo-Huns and can't find the north, you almost destroyed the country, and you have paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty many times in the past?" A large food merchant vetoes the words of a Sassanid merchant.

"Hmph, don't forget, our Sassanid went east to fight against the pseudo-Huns, sent the Kushan Empire to the grave to the west, and almost destroyed the Chambini, if it weren't for the empire's troops on the eastern front and being pinned down by the pseudo-Huns who are good at equestrianism, you big cannibals took the opportunity to rebel in the south, and the Western magnates defected, how could there be big cannibals now!"

Another Sassanid merchant retorted sharply, clearly not taking the Great Cannibal seriously!

The king of Shu sat in the throne, watching the four people arguing in front of him, weak, pale, holding a teacup and sucking lightly, hiding his embarrassment.

In his inherent consciousness, the Tang Dynasty, the Turks, and the Tibetan are all very powerful empires, and even if the Western Regions states are strong, they are not qualified to shake the Three Kingdoms.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the words of the four people, but I didn't expect that in addition to the known empire, there are many powerful countries in the Western Regions, even for hundreds or thousands of years.

Even though he suspected that the four of them were talking nonsense, the long-standing idea that Datang was the center of the world suddenly appeared cracks, and there was a feeling of a frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky.

"Take them down and make them draw the approximate regions of the empires in the Western Regions!" The King of Shu glared at the four merchants who were arguing endlessly, and commanded the housekeeper!

There are new empires outside of the Tang Dynasty, he must quickly understand the situation of each empire, besides, he is already a lot behind Yang Yue in this regard, if he doesn't take the initiative to understand, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with Yang Yue, and then he and the frog at the bottom of the well, there will really be no difference at all!

"Yes!"

The butler bowed slightly, and left with the four big food merchants.

In the next two days, the king of Shu still lived in the study to learn about the situation in the Western Regions.

After a few words in the ancient books, the king of Shu roughly learned that during the Northern Wei Dynasty, he had sent generals to follow the footsteps of the former Qin and Later Liang to conquer the Western Regions, gradually passing through the Western Regions, and sent many missions to the Western Regions, strongly demanding that the countries in the Western Regions submit.

At the same time, the Sassanid Dynasty sent a mission to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and in a short period of time, the two sides had a brief exchange.

Decades later, the Sassanid Empire, for some reason, sent another delegation to make friends with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He even heard about the Liang in the south of the Northern Wei Dynasty from the sea and presented the Buddha's tooth to Emperor Wu of Liang.

For hundreds of years, the Sassanid Dynasty had contacts with all countries in the Central Plains, until a hundred years ago, when the Tang Dynasty declined, the Western Regions territory was lost, and the Sassanid Dynasty completely lost contact.

In the ancient books, there are very few recorded contents, but in just a few words, they coincide with the four merchants in the palace of the king of Shu.

Moreover, after the Great Food Merchant and the Sassanid Merchant roughly drew a map, the King of Shu found that the Tang Dynasty was only in the eastern, central, western, and southern regions of the domain, and there were many empires, and the power was strong or weak, but it did exist.

Through understanding, the key King of Shu discovered that the Turks could not help but be the sworn enemies of the Tang Dynasty and the enemies of the Sassanid Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was in the east, the south was against the Turks, and the Sassanid dynasty was in the west against the Turks!

He couldn't help but wonder that if the Sassanid Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty got in touch, the two sides could be in the East and the West!

In addition, before getting rid of the two Great Food Merchant, the King of Shu learned from the other party that the Great Food often fought against Tubo on the Western Front, and although it did not have the slightest connection with the Tang Dynasty, the two sides were weakening the power of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

After a few days of research, the king of Shu has gained a lot, and basically changed his previous arrogant and arrogant ideas, Yang Yue is right, he is a frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky.

At this moment, the king of Shu was anxious to go to the palace and admit his shortcomings to Yang Yue, but admitting his mistakes to Yang Yue wouldn't prove that he surrendered to him?

Hesitation, depression.

The king of Shu was restless, and the food was tasteless.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to go to the palace.

He learned from the mouth of the Great Food Merchant that the Tubo power was very strong, and he fought against the Great Food and the Tang Dynasty.

Now, the western part of the Tang Dynasty is full of wolf smoke and beacon fires, Yang Yue sent a fierce general to lead hundreds of thousands of elites to fight against it, and still the western battle in addition to Tubo, there is also Tuyuhun, not to mention, Longyou also contains a lot of troops in the Tang Dynasty!

What Yang Yue did was too careless to underestimate the enemy.

The king of Shu is like a mirror, if he does not advance Yang Yue, the Tang army will fail on the Western Front, which will damage the majesty of Yang Yue's emperor, and he will take the opportunity to instigate, and there will inevitably be small-scale riots in the Tang Dynasty.

If the Tang Dynasty fails to fight with Tubo, it will also weaken the strength of the Tang Dynasty, so that Yang Yue's previous efforts will be wasted, and the Turks and Khitans will definitely take the opportunity to fall into the ground, which will not be conducive to the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Quartet.

In addition, he learned that there were still many empires in the West, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty would recover Longyou and expand to the Western Regions, facing not only the threat of the Turks, but also the threat of the Western Regions.

Today, the Tang Dynasty and the Thunder are rising and regaining their strength, and no accidents must occur in a few years.

If you fight in the west, you will suddenly lose your troops and lose your generals, which will cause a catastrophe to the Tang Dynasty.

After breakfast, tidying up, wearing a python robe, and taking a Sassanid merchant who was left behind, the king of Shu took a carriage to the palace.

He knew that this trip to the palace would undoubtedly surrender to Yang Yue and show weakness to the other party, but for the future of the Tang Dynasty and his own honor and disgrace, what if he bowed his head to Yang Yue?

In the Royal Palace.

Yang Yue returned from a private visit to the Northeast Weifu, and for several days, he was dealing with the backlog of government affairs and issuing new decrees to the Northeast.

In the Northeast, Lin Kaiyue proposed to abolish the four counties in the Northeast and change them to provinces, and at present, through the efforts of the officials of the six ministries, a new plan has been proposed.

In addition, the generals of the Western Expedition have sent back news one after another, and many things urgently need Yang Yue to make a decision.

A month ago, the imperial court transported a large number of earth-shattering thunders to the western front, and during the battle, Wei Jiyan and Yan Yuefeng led the army to destroy Lai Suyuan, who was proclaimed emperor in Longyou, and successively recovered the territory of Longyoudao.

Today, Tubo, Tuyuhun, lost Longyou, lost the barrier to block the Tang army in the north, and has continuously added soldiers to the battlefield, and even Tubo took the initiative to attack the Tang Dynasty.

By reading the front-line newspapers, Yang Yue probably understood that both Tubo and Tuyuhun, after losing Longyou, had already realized that the Tang Dynasty had sent troops to the west, not only to recover Longyou and open up the road to the Western Regions, but also to completely wipe out their two major tribes!

If you don't go all out, the situation will be very serious in the future, and if you are not careful, the two major tribes will be wiped out.

At present, Yang Yue learned from the news from the front line that Tuyuhun poured the power of the country to annex the north, blocking the Tang army from going south from Longyou, and wanted to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty.
