It had been three days since Li Chengqian received the message sent back by Yu Chi Baolin, and the corners of his mouth bloomed in a slightly curved arc when he held a two-finger-wide note.

Belus is just the prince of the dead country, there is no need to make a big deal to report through Cui Yu, if it weren't for the fact that he still has 50,000 remnants of soldiers, it is estimated that it is difficult to even enjoy the treatment of carrier pigeon communication.

"Songtsam, what do you think should be done about this? Shall we help him? Because things were too troublesome, Li Chengqian found a helper he trusted better.

"My suggestion is to discuss it with Your Majesty first, otherwise you, a crown prince, will easily attract criticism from others if you summon a different prince."

Songtsen Gampo has recovered from the depression of the previous few days, at this time while admiring the layout of Li Chengqian's study, while slowly tasting the grape wine, if it were not for the Tang Dynasty costume on his body, it would be easy to mistake him for attending a certain drinking party in the future.

Li Chengqian agreed with Songtsen Gampo's suggestion, nodded and said: "What you said is exactly what I want to do, but before informing my father, I always have to have a choice, whether to help him or not." ”

"You've already made your choice, so why should I repeat it for you?" Songtsen Gampo said casually, his tone full of ridicule.

Since Li Chengqian was able to find him for consultation, it means that he did not want to refuse the request of the Persian prince, but he had not yet found a reasonable reason to convince himself. Otherwise, if Li Chengqian really wanted to refuse, he didn't have to find Songtsen Gampo at all, and he could directly refuse.

"Why are you so direct every time? Wouldn't it be okay to save some face for me? Li Chengqian also realized his mistake at this time, and shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"I once said that you are the crown prince of Datang, as long as you do not go against the will of His Majesty, nothing in the entire Datang will be able to stop you." Songtsen Gampo raised the cup in his hand, obviously taking Li Chengqian's words just now as a kind of praise.

"But I have to consider the consequences of the matter, the geographical location of Persia is very good, I really want to control it in my hands, but if I fight, I will die, and I can't let the people of the Tang Dynasty sacrifice for other countries." Li Chengqian told his difficulties with some annoyance.

The geographical location of Persia is indeed very special, if it occupies it, the north can expel the Western Turks, and the south can cut off Tianzhu's retreat on the mainland, and the northwest of Persia is not far away, but Constantinople, the gateway to Europe.

In other words, if Persia is controlled, it is equivalent to opening the door of the Tang Dynasty to the west, giving the Tang Dynasty the possibility of unlimited expansion.

Suddenly, Li Chengqian thought of how to explain this matter to the old man, and he also knew how he should choose.

Expansion, whether it is Li Er or Li Chengqian, their desire for land is greedy, although this father and son do not admit this, they can deceive others, but they cannot deceive themselves.

……

Three days later, a large army appeared outside the Yumen Pass, and the Western Regions Legion plus the remnants of the Persian army, the total number reached nearly 300,000.

"General Wei Chi! Prince Belus! "The guards of Yumen Pass went ten miles out of the city to greet this huge army, and at the same time expressed due respect to these soldiers who had fought for the country for nearly seven years outside.

"Old Shen, why are you still here? It seems that you stayed here when I came out of the customs, right? Why hasn't there been any interest for so many years? "I'm going home soon, Yu Chi Baolin is very happy, and he greets the Yumen guards without any words.

However, Wei Chi dared to do this, but Belus couldn't, not to mention that his 50,000 remnants of the army had to stay outside the pass and wait for Lao Shen to take care of him, just talking about his royal education, so that he couldn't joke with people like this.

So after Wei Chi and Lao Shen greeted him, Belus jumped down directly from his horse and gave Lao Shen a standard knightly salute, which was regarded as a greeting.

"General Wei Chi, Prince Belus, have worked hard all the way, please enter the customs with this general." Old man Shen didn't care about Yu Chi Baolin's rudeness.

Because even beggars in the entire Tang Dynasty know that the Wei Chi family and the Cheng family are the most unobtrusive existences, and if they really have the same knowledge as them, they are likely to be angry to death in the end.

In the following time, the Western Regions Legion almost became the protagonist of Yumen Pass, with neat queues, dense banners, and a team of four people standing on the top of the city and not seeing the end at a glance.

But these are not the most important, what really makes people care is the sky-high killing machine on these soldiers, the recruits who have been rolling in life and death for several years have returned from outside the territory, and the recruits are full of dust but can't hide the arrogance, and the tired and vicissitudes of life are full of stubbornness.

Although the armies of the Western Regions can run rampant in the vast desert over there, their enemies are often not real humans, and the cold, wind and sand are sometimes more difficult to deal with than humans. The people who survived in such a cruel environment have a strong will and an unyielding backbone.

So when this army entered the customs, the other army that was originally full of ambition and high spirits and ready to leave the customs immediately wilted like frosted eggplant, and the angry general Duan Zhixuan stomped his feet vigorously and scolded Wei Chi Baolin for not being a thing.

But fortunately, Yu Chi Baolin is not only simple, but also not thin, although Lao Duan's fingers almost poked into his nose, he was not annoyed at all, just scratched his big head and laughed.

"Stinky boy, get out of here, I know you're in a hurry to get home." In the end, Lao Duan was tired of scolding, and he waved his hand and sent him out, but when he was leaving, he specially instructed Wei Chi not to pull his family Duan Zan into trouble after he went back.

……

The process of the legion entering the pass lasted for three days, and by the time the last group entered the pass, the vanguard had already reached two hundred miles away, and the most heard along the way was Belus's amazement!

The wide cement road, where eight carriages could be walked side by side, stretched into the distance, and the speed of the march that was originally sixty miles a day suddenly accelerated on such a road, reaching an astonishing hundred miles, and this was the result of Wei Chi Baolin's efforts to control and suppress the speed of the march.

Otherwise, there are so many war horses that even the auxiliary army can be armed, and the Western Regions legion with two horses per person can completely increase the speed to two hundred miles per day.

What surprised Belus even more was the endless stream of vehicles on the road, loaded with all kinds of goods, along the sides of the concrete road separated by tree walls, each rushing to its destination.

If someone asks Belus now what his impression of Datang is, he will definitely say that it is prosperous, it is too prosperous, just after crossing the border, there is already such a atmosphere, what kind of performance will it have if he arrives in the capital?

In addition to prosperity, another impression of Belus is the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

During the time he was with the Western Regions Legion, he had seen too much equipment that he had never seen before, and he had the impression that the clumsy bed crossbow could be operated by two people, and the same was true for the trebuchet, which was mounted on wheels and was pulled by two war horses, and its movement speed could keep up with the speed of a hundred miles of marching every day.

The advanced large ordnance surprised him, but those individual equipment made him almost drool with envy, the full-covered plate armor almost armed the warrior to the teeth, and the steel crossbow that could easily be hung with a crossbow string could shoot more than two hundred steps, sharp horizontal knives, dark military thorns, and explosive iron pineapple .......

Belus believed that if his army could be equipped with these ordnance of the Tang Dynasty, he was fully confident that he would return to Persia with these 50,000 men and completely drive the great cannibals out of the land that gave birth to him.

Unlike Belus, Arroch has been spending the past few days in uneasiness.

After a while, fear continued to erode his heart, and he would secretly rejoice when he woke up in countless dreams, fortunately, there was no battle when he met the army of 2,000 people, if it was really a fight at that time, now I am afraid that the 50,000 people who escaped this time have all become food for wild wolves on the grassland.

"How? Datang is no worse than Persia, right? "While Yu Chi Baolin was in a hurry, he didn't forget to show off, and he caught Belus and asked non-stop.

"Persia is not as much as the Tang Dynasty, if Persia can have such equipment as your army, how can there be today's ......" Belus also figured out his character after this period of contact with Wei Chi, knowing that this product was just showing off, and there was no malicious intent.

And Persia is indeed not as much as the Tang Dynasty, and there is no shame in telling the truth.

"If you can get the support of Gao Ming, you will have all these things, and your army will become invincible in the world, except for Datang, of course." Yu Chi Baolin smiled innocently, and squeezed his eyes at Belus from time to time.

"Is this possible? Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really give us weapons? Belus had a surprised look on his face, and he didn't know if he was really surprised if he was late.

Along the way, Captain Chi Baolin kept talking, "Clever, clever", Belus already knew the name of Li Chengqian, and also knew that only people close to him would have the opportunity to call the prince by this name.

Yu Chi Baolin was a little embarrassed by Belus's rhetorical question, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with his questioning, and rolled his bull's eye: "Even the dwarfs of the Wa Kingdom can buy weapons from Gao Ming, do you think Gao Ming will not sell them to you?" ”

Sell? Belus still had a smile on his face, but he scolded his mother in his heart, now that he is so poor that he is almost going to work as pants, how can he have the money to buy weapons?

You must know that they must have escaped after the defeat, and they didn't have time to collect the money in the palace, and they could go all the way to the territory of Xue Yantuo, and most of the food was looted.

But now he is not facing the nomads on the grassland, but the powerful Datang, and it is obviously not feasible to rob it, and there is really no money to buy it.

What to do? What the hell is going to do? Along the way,
