Li Shimin read it again, and read Wang Xuance's letter again from beginning to end, then put the letter down, turned to Xia Hongsheng and said: "In the early years, you said that Wang Xuance was a talented person, but now it seems that the vision of the virtuous son-in-law is really good. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Wang Xuance was able to gain the trust of the Persian royal family so quickly, which was a bit unexpected by the son-in-law. Originally, the son-in-law felt that he was only afraid that Wang Xuance would have to go through at least five or six years in Persia before he could achieve this step. Wang Xuance also had a letter with his son-in-law, in which he told his son-in-law about his affairs in Persia in recent years. When he arrived in Persia, he first went to the Great Eclipse. As a merchant, he stayed in Da Shi for a long time, saw the habits of Da Shi in Da Shi, studied the characteristics of their battles, and had a deep understanding of Da Shi, and by the way, he took the spies he brought with him to Da Shi and set them up properly, and then went to Persia. At that time, Persia was being defeated and retreated by the Great Eclipse, Wang Xuance deliberately went to the front line, pretending to be a merchant in the city trapped by the Great Eclipse, and when he helped Persia defend the city, he helped the local Persian defenders repel the attack of the Great Eclipse by understanding the Great Eclipse and the combat methods and strategies brought from the Tang Dynasty. I also have a good relationship with the guard. Seeing that Wang Xuance commanded his army to win many battles, the general recommended Wang Xuance to the Persian lord. ”

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Wang Xuance's actions are no less than a life-saving straw for the Persian lord. He came into contact with the Persian lord through these means, which was far better than the self-proclaimed envoy of the Tang Dynasty to approach the Persian lord. The front-line military situation was reported to the Persian lord, and the middle and all levels knew Wang Xuance's name and Wang Xuance's ability. Although it seemed a little slower and more complicated, it laid the foundation for later gaining the trust of the Persian court. None of them are fools, they can see clearly their real skills and false reputations! What a Wang Xuance! ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Xia Hongsheng said: "It is precisely like this, Wang Xuance assisted the local defenders to repel the Great Food Army again and again, and even not only repelled it, but also allowed Persia to fight a big victory, which is a great encouragement for Persia, which has always been at a disadvantage, and therefore a great credit to Wang Xuance." These news were reported all the way, and Wang Xuance never appeared in the Persian court, so he was already a celebrity in the Persian court. Therefore, the lord of Persia summoned Wang Xuance and wanted to ask Wang Xuance to stay in Persia and appoint high officials for Wang Xuance. At this time, Wang Xuance resigned, only to say that he was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, traveling with the merchants, to send a big food, to discuss the big food on the business road to set up a heavy card to collect heavy taxes, but was humiliated by the big food, indignant, in the city encountered the big food siege, angry, only to come forward to help defend the city. After hearing this, the Persian lord was very excited, and he was convinced of Wang Xuance, and begged Wang Xuance to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty on his behalf, and expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and asked the Tang Dynasty to assist Persia and defeat the Great Food. ”

"Hahahaha, this Wang Xuance really has some means." Li Shimin said with a smile: "Persia is in danger, and it is easy to find a life-saving straw, so don't you hurry up and hold on tightly!" ”

"Yes, the icing on the well is better than sending charcoal in the snow. Wang Xuance also relied on his own ability to solve many big problems for Persia, and even personally lobbied the surrounding countries, knowing the reason for his lips and teeth, so that he could form an alliance with Persia to fight against the Great Eclipse, which greatly relieved the pressure on Persia. It was also this move that made the Persian lord praise Wang Xuance as a guest and completely believe in Wang Xuance. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "Wang Xuance has won the true legend of Ju Guogong, and he is quite capable in the way of vertical and horizontal, and he is really the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. However, traveling thousands of miles alone in Persia, there must have been a lot of difficulties in the process! ”

"Not bad." Li Shimin nodded: "The strategy offered in Wang Qing's letter is quite similar to the strategy used by the virtuous son-in-law between the Turks and Xue Yantuo back then. ”

"Hehe, father-in-law, my son-in-law thinks that this thing is not only feasible, but can also be done bigger!" Xia Hongsheng laughed and said to Li Shimin: "Father-in-law, Persia is so rich!" In terms of military strength, Persia today may not be as good as the Turks of the past, but in terms of wealth, the Turks are inferior to Persia. Although the territory of Posna is mostly sandy, drought and lack of water are not suitable for farming, but its resources are extremely large. Not to mention the side, as far as the oil in that place is concerned, Your Majesty, if you say that in the world today - the son-in-law is not talking about the Tang Dynasty, but the map that the son-in-law gave to his father-in-law - if the oil in the whole world is ten ten, then the Persian part alone occupies more than five or six cents. Iron, copper...... These mines that we need in large quantities in Datang have a lot of reserves and good quality. The Arabian horse, which is the war horse produced in Persia and Dashi, is a treasure. Kind, intelligent, and willing to please, with a high degree of mental strength and alertness, it will not neigh when approaching the enemy's war horse, will not expose the target, charge into battle in battle, brave and fearless, and has rapid speed and long-lasting endurance, it is the best war horse in the world! Your Majesty, it is no exaggeration to make an analogy, Persia is a country full of 'gold'! ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed a sinister smile, as if he had understood what Xia Hongsheng meant.

"Your Majesty, Persia is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and Dashi is almost no weaker than the Tang Dynasty, which has no gunpowder and firearms." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "If the Tang Dynasty assists Persia, it will cost a huge unimaginable price. He asked Datang for help, but he couldn't let Datang pay for the journey by himself! ”

"A virtuous son-in-law might as well tell me more about it." Li Shimin was very happy to see Xia Hongsheng helping the people of Datang, leaned back, and said with a smile.

"Two choices." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "These two choices are for the Persian lord. First, Datang did not send troops. However, you can sell him the advanced weapons of the Tang Dynasty, and along with the arms sold, you can give some people who are good at combat strategy as military advisers to give him advice. Persia has Uzi steel, which is not weaker than 100 steel, and ordinary 100 steel weapons are not attractive to him. But we have new steel, which is not only harder and tougher than Uzi steel, but also easier to manufacture in large quantities than Uzi steel. And the Tang Dynasty already has gunpowder and firearms, and is not afraid that Persia will have new steel weapons. Even, we can change the formula of gunpowder, make some less powerful gunpowder, and make a less powerful Megatron Thunder as a secret weapon and sell it to him. If you don't sell it for money, you change it. What is Datang missing? There is a shortage of copper, a lack of oil, a lack of good iron, a lack of war horses, let it trade these things for it. The power of Datang's armaments can be seen at a glance. Who doesn't want it? Especially when Persia is now in danger. That's to get it at any cost to defeat the big cannibal! ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "What about the second?" (To be continued.) )
