Chapter 1404: Introducing you to a master
Belus, the son of the last king of Sassanid Persia, appeared in Mobei because he was hunted down and killed.
At this time, the Great Food Kingdom was expanding wildly, and the Persian king was a little cowardly, so that the army of the Great Food did not encounter any decent resistance at all and drove straight into its capital.
So the Persian king fled en masse with his people and army, and at the same time began to send people to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty.
However, considering the long distance of the expedition to the west and the fact that there was a Western Turk in between, His Majesty did not agree to the request of the Persian king.
In desperation, the Persian people turned their attention to Xue Yantuo, hoping to get reinforcements from here, and this is the purpose of this Persian prince's trip.
As for why Persia wants to go near and far, leaving the nearby Western Turks not looking for it, but trying to rescue troops from the Tang Dynasty, this is actually very easy to explain, and it is just a close attack from afar.
Although the king of Sassanid Persia is cowardly, he is not stupid, and although the Western Turks are near, he is a fierce tiger, even if he asks for reinforcements to drive the great cannibals away, if these reinforcements do not leave in Persia, will they not be different from the great cannibals.
On the contrary, the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty did not have such a consequence, after all, the Tang army had no foundation from afar, and after expelling the Great Eclipse, it could not gain a foothold in Persia, and in the end it could only go back.
The idea of the king of Persia is very good, but His Majesty Li Er is not a small person who can be fooled, governing a huge country, what kind of weirdness has not been seen, naturally he will not be deceived by his little tricks, so the reinforcements have never been successful.
……
On the edge of the warm campfire, Belus told with a heavy face why he appeared here, and talked about the ferocity of the big cannibals, although he knew that the two Tang Dynasty fools around him could not necessarily understand, but they could be regarded as having a person to talk to.
"Xue Yantuo now you don't have to go, I can tell you clearly, they are now too busy to take care of themselves, Zhenzhu Yinan is dead, his three sons are fighting, the biggest possibility for you to go is to be dragged into the gang." Yu Chi Baolin said as he pointed to the Persian army that was resting: "These people you brought are just right for them to use as cannon fodder. ”
Belus licked his slightly dry lips lightly, staring at the burning bonfire in front of him, and he didn't know if he had listened to Wei Chi's words.
In fact, speaking of which, this guy is a Tang Dynasty version of Murong Fu, who has been dedicated to recovering the country all his life, not only him, but even his son.
But there is no free lunch in this world, no one will be kind enough to borrow hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to help people restore the country, according to historical records, His Majesty Li Er and Li Zhi can allow him to recruit soldiers on his own in the Tang Dynasty It is already a great favor, as for borrowing soldiers...... Hehe!
Belus actually knew that his way to borrow troops would not work, but he really didn't have any way now, even if he couldn't get through, he had to try to go, and he had to try it with one in ten thousand hopes.
"General Wei Chi, His Royal Highness the Prince has already told us all about our difficulties, and I don't want to hide anything, I just want to know if you can help us." A Luo regret, the Persian general who escaped with Belus all the way, with a beard on his face, saw that his prince had been silent, for fear of causing the displeasure of Yu Chi Baolin, and took the initiative to ask.
"I can't help you, we have our own tasks." Yu Chi Baolin shook his head and said.
His task is to lead the Western Regions Army to withdraw to the Tang Dynasty, and it is not his responsibility to help the down-and-out Persian prince in front of him, and it is enough to explain to him the current situation of Xue Yantuo.
"Alas......" Ah Luo looked at the motionless prince again, like a clay sculpture, and sighed a little disappointed: "Your Royal Highness the prince, let's go back, we still have 50,000 soldiers, and we still have the strength to fight." ”
"This is our last strength, and if we lose, we will never have a chance." Belus withdrew his gaze from the fire and said in a somewhat heavy tone.
"But you have to try, if you continue to wander like this, the hearts of the warriors will be scattered."
"No, this is to die, I can't let them die in vain."
As for whether to turn back, Belus and Aro have their own opinions, one wants to retain their strength, the other wants to fight to the death, and no one can convince anyone.
In the end, Yu Chi Baolin couldn't listen to it anymore, and suddenly said: "I can't help you, but there is someone who may be able to help you, I can help you introduce, as for whether your requirements can be met in the end, it depends on your luck." ”
"What?"
"General Wei Chi, you, you ......".
As if the person who was about to drown suddenly grabbed a piece of driftwood, Belus, who was devastated, and Aro turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes were fixed on Yu Chi Baolin's face. If the eyes can be substantiated, it is estimated that there will be four more holes on Yu Chi Baolin's face, and the seven orifices will become eleven orifices.
"I said, it's up to your luck." Yu Chi Baolin stretched out his hands.
"Who is it? General Wei Chi, please speak directly. Seeing a glimmer of light, Belus was almost going crazy, and if he hadn't been worried that he wouldn't be able to beat Wei Chi, he would have immediately pinched his neck and forced him to speak.
But the more anxious Belus was, the more Wei Chi Baolin procrastinated, obviously a rough billet, but he had to pretend to be a pedant: "Don't be anxious, we have a saying in Datang that you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry." ”
I'm going to go! Belus secretly gritted his teeth, and his desire to strangle Yu Chi Baolin was three points stronger.
"Have you ever heard of 'Wise Demons'?" After a long time, Yu Chi Baolin filled up the calf and asked mysteriously.
"'Wise Demon'?" Belus and Arroshi looked at each other, and saw deep doubt in each other's eyes.
"General Wei Chi, I don't know what this 'wise demon' is?" With intuition, Ah Luo asked with a faint uneasiness.
Demons, as long as they are individuals, know that they are not good words, and can be called 'wise demons', which shows its danger.
However, this time it was not Yu Chi Baolin who answered Luo regretfully, but Xi Junmai, who had been sitting next to him and did not speak: "'Zhi Demon' is a person, a person who is above 10,000 people under one person, if you still want someone in Datang to be able to help you, it is best to be polite to him." ”
The second stunned tone was extremely unpolite, and his hand had already been placed on the hilt of the horizontal knife, and for a short moment, it seemed that Ah Luo was his mortal enemy just now.
However, Belus and Aro regret can't take care of these anymore, the description of 'one person under ten thousand people' has already made them fall into ecstasy, not to mention the tone of the two stunned is not polite, it is estimated that even if they point to their nose and scold a few words, they will use spit to deal with it.
In their opinion, this kind of thing is not very reliable, and countries like Datang will generally only send a small official to deal with them, and their requests will also be conveyed by a small official.
In this way, no matter what they say, because the rank of the officials who receive them is not enough, the Tang Emperor will not pay attention to it at all, even if they have the ability to bring the dead to life, it is in vain.
But now Wei Chi Baolin will actually introduce them to a big man who is 'one person under ten thousand people', so that the chance of seeking reinforcements will undoubtedly be much greater, after all, the influence of the big man is different from that of the small official.
After more than ten breaths, Belus finally suppressed the joy in his heart, first learned from the Central Plains and hugged his fists to Xi Er as an apology, and then looked at Wei Chi and asked nervously: "General Wei Chi, I don't know who you want to introduce to me?" Can you tell me bluntly? ”
It is not easy for Yu Chi Baolin, a fool, to be able to pretend to be such a calf for a long time, and he really can't pretend to be able to do so at this time, so he coughed pretentiously, arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an and said: "It is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty today!" ”
"What?!" Belus and Aro both fell into a state of aphasia.
Just now, they thought that Yu Chi Baolin would introduce them to a prime minister or something at most, or a close minister of the Tang Emperor, but it turned out that Yu Chi gave them far more surprises than that.
Prince of the Tang Dynasty, that's the Prince of the Tang Dynasty! It's not for everyone.
Don't look at Li Chengqian, who wanders around in Chang'an when he has nothing to do, but there are not many bright and dark guards around him, and it is difficult to say something if he really wants to see each other, at least to the extent of sighing.
So when Belus knew that the 'wise demon' in Yu Chi Baolin's mouth was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the whole person fell into ecstasy all of a sudden, and even forgot what the purpose of his trip was.
"General Wei Chi, thank you! Thank you so much. After the ecstasy, Belus tore off the scimitar studded with gems at his waist and held his hands in front of Yu Chi Baolin: "A small gift is not a tribute, and I hope the general must accept it!" ”
Strike while the iron is hot, that's what Belus thinks now.
In a desperate situation, with such an opportunity, Belus can press all the chips, let alone a 'treasure' knife.
"This knife...... It's useless, you keep it for yourself, and what Lao Tzu promised you will definitely do, and you don't have to bribe things. Yu Chi Baolin is simple, and he speaks straight, but he is not stupid, he didn't touch the scimitar handed over, but just glanced at it with disdain.
The knife is a good knife, how could the Persian prince's matching knife be bad, but it is precisely because of this that Yu Chi Baolin refused to accept it. After all, the knife is matched by the royal family, and if he is a gentleman of a noble family, if he is matched with this thing, he will be uncomfortable with himself.
Belusto stood there with a knife, his face full of embarrassment, a little unsure of what to do, he had never tried to be rejected in Persia, but now he was pushed back by a fool, and his face was naturally a little unbearable.
But fortunately, Ah Luo, who was beside him, was a little clever: "Your Royal Highness, General Wei Chi has a noble character, let's not use these things to tarnish his reputation." This is a bit unorthodox, but in any case, it can be regarded as giving Belus a step down.
