Artaban IV didn't know what was going on during this time, his body was getting worse and worse, his body was sore and weak, and only with the help of Datang's fine wine, he could feel a little refreshed.

The doctor was helpless about the condition of Aldaban IV, he pinched his nose and poured dormibin herbs for more than ten days, and invited a group of magic sticks to dance for a while, and his body did not improve at all.

Aldaban IV's ambition was delayed by his body, and he originally wanted to negotiate with the Tang Emperor to come to the land of rest, and he was so majestic that he could not make the trip. His own cronies and subordinates, I don't know what's going on, are also mentally depressed.

Aldaban IV once wondered if it was a plague epidemic, but all the ordinary soldiers were fine and did not have this symptom. I was suspicious and suspicious, and finally I thought about the wine, but the doctor who rested in the rest tested the wine and found nothing abnormal. Artaban IV was helpless, feeling that God could not help him, and the favor of the god of light accompanied the departure of Vologasis VI and left him.

At this time, Jiang Jian became the most important existence in the circle of Aldaban IV, and all the power was slowly gathered into his hands.

………………

Jiang Jian received a letter from Sima Yi and came to see Artaban IV.

After listening to Jiang Yin's words, Artaban IV said weakly: "I can't let the Tang army get the benefits alone, the general can lead 200,000 troops to send troops to Rome with the Tang army to seize the greatest benefits for my dynasty." Please, General Jiang Yin. ”

Jiang Jian looked at this down-and-out last emperor with a calm face, and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust and grab the greatest benefits." ”

It's just this emperor, not the last emperor in front of him.

Ardaban IV didn't hear the change in Jiang Yan's tone in a drowsy state, took out the seal, stamped it with a big seal symbolizing power, and after Jiang Jian said goodbye, he hurriedly arranged people.

………………

Caracalla knew that the situation in Rome was not good recently, so he put down his position and made friends with the Senate, and in order to appease the anger of the Senate, he took advantage of his connections in the army and began to fan the flames and prepare to reduce military spending.

At this time, the border was in an emergency, and the 400,000 horses of the Anxi and Tang coalition armies, and the Chen soldiers border, millions of young people of different races, riding fast horses, had entered the Roman land and began to burn and loot.

Caracalla almost didn't turn his back on his breath, Lao Tzu's country just caught fire, you ...... What are you coalition forces doing here? Once Lao Tzu recovers, he will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor.

Caracalla asked Hanako to grit his teeth - he was ruthless, and he had to take into account the situation in front of him, after all, he was not in the right position, and there were more than 400,000 troops in the alliance of Anxi and the Tang Dynasty, plus millions of young people who burned and looted everywhere in the country, this is really a big problem.

Caracalla hesitated for a long time, and decided to keep the emperor's position first, and then stabilize the foreign enemy at the expense of land and compensation, so as to free up his hands to deal with the hostile forces at home.

The general policy was decided, and Caracalla sent his confidant Charles as an envoy to find a way to make the coalition retreat at all costs.

………………

Charles, as a Roman, couldn't help frowning at the emperor's words, when did the Roman Empire put such a low stature? It's always been Rome that bullies others.

Charles was reluctant to do so, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he came to see Xue Rengui and Jiang Yin, the commanders of the coalition army.

Xue Rengui and Jiang Jian discussed it in advance, and directly told Charles: "I can't be the master of this matter, you Rome want to talk, your envoy should go to Seleucia City to find our emperor of the Tang Kingdom." ”

When Jiang Jian also said this, Charles asked: "Your Excellency General, as far as I know, the people you led are all soldiers of His Majesty Aldaban IV. ”

Jiang Jian glared and shouted, "Then let me ask you, will you be a resting person or a Tang person?" ”

Charles said: "Of course you are from the Tang Dynasty, but you represent Artaban IV. ”

Jiang Jian shouted impatiently: "If you want to say so, then don't talk about peace, Lao Tzu raised troops to attack Thrace first, and then take Macedonia." ”

Charles was breathless for a long time by Jiang Yan's words, and the co-authors didn't bird themselves at all, it seems that the stupid man Aldaban is too weak and incompetent, and his own people have been controlled by the people of Datang.

Looking at the arrogant Jiang Yin, Charles weighed it for a long time, and had no choice but to say: "Your Excellency, don't be angry, I'll hurry to Seleucia City to see His Majesty the Emperor of your country." After I left, I hope the general will not use his sword and soldiers. ”

Jiang Jian sneered: "It is limited to one month, if the peace talks cannot be reached after one month, Lao Tzu will immediately send troops to attack Thrace." ”

Charles had no choice but to take the envoys and rush to Celeucia day and night.

………………

Lydia was more than 2,000 miles away from the city of Seleucia, and Charles arrived in seven days, and under the traffic conditions at that time, it has to be said that Charles created a miracle.

When he came to the city of Seleucia, Charles ignored his fatigue and directly asked to see the Tang Emperor Li Yi.

Li Yi has already received the news of the visit of the Roman envoys, and he has been thinking about how to negotiate with the Romans in the past few days, Caracalla is eager to stabilize the throne, and will definitely be willing to pay a greater price to let the coalition troops retreat.

Accompanied by Sima Yi, Charles came to the main hall, where Li Yi was holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish.

Sima Yi smiled and said to Charles: "Mr. Envoy, this is my Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Charles hurriedly took off his hat and saluted, and said loudly: "Charles, the envoy of the Great Rome, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Yi seemed to have been immersed in the book, as if he hadn't heard Charles's words, and sat still.

Charles looked at Liu Ye embarrassedly, and Sima Yi whispered: "Your Excellency, please wait for a while, and wait for our emperor to finish reading." ”

Charles ran over to beg for help, where did he dare to make a sound again, his sad eyes and nose looked at his heart, and he prayed vigorously that the emperor of the Tang Empire would finish reading the book in his hand sooner.

………………

Li Yi looked at it for a long time, looked up suddenly, saw Sima Yi, and said with a smile: "When did Zhongda arrive?" Why can't you tell me about it? ”

Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just arrived. The man beside me is the Roman envoy, Mr. Charles. ”

With that, he hugged Charles with his hand.

Charles hurriedly repeated what he had just said aloud, Li Yi and the others interpreted, and asked with a smile: "Your envoy is not in Rome, he is thousands of miles away, and he came to the city of Seleucia, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

Charles despised the Tang Emperor in his heart, and ran to Celeucia City with me, because he was full of food.

Thinking about this, Charles organized the language and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty the Emperor of Rome, His Majesty Caracalla, I would like to greet you with courtesy, and I ask you to withdraw the soldiers and horses on the border of our country. “

Li Yi stared at Charles for a long time and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?" ”

"Of course, we will make some compensation," Charles said. ”

Li Yi looked up to the sky and laughed and said, "Appropriate compensation? The coalition army is 400,000 and has spent countless amounts of grain and grass, so can I just make them withdraw with a word of appropriate compensation? Someone, send the Roman envoy out of the city. ”

Charles was stunned, the emperor of the Tang Kingdom was still in a hurry, and when he saw the guards in the palace walking towards him, he hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom, if you have any requirements, you can say it, as long as it is reasonable, I will agree to it all." ”

Li Yi asked, "Really?" ”

Charles nodded hurriedly.

Li Yi pondered for a while and said: "Okay, I want Rome to cede Macedonia, Greece, Thrace, Libya and Egypt in the eastern Mediterranean, and these places belong to my Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, Rome will compensate me with 300,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 catties of grain." ”

Sima Yi secretly gave a thumbs up next to him, our emperor is ruthless enough.

When Charles heard about the cession of land, his heart twitched, and then he heard that not only land, but also so many things, his heart was so blocked that he wanted to pull it directly, and he watched Li Yi's lips open and close, although in just a few seconds, in Charles's opinion, it was longer than a year.

Finally, seeing Li Yi close his mouth, Charles muttered and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, your request is a bit excessive, can you be a little less?" ”

Li Yi was just about to stare at him, but Sima Yi pulled Charles and whispered: "Your envoy, how does the combat power of the rest army compare with your country?" ”

Charles said proudly: "The army of my great Roman Empire is definitely stronger than the army of rest. ”

Sima Yi said: "Your envoy is a little sorry for this, as far as I know, Rest and Rome have been at war for many years, it seems that Rome has not bargained for anything in Rest, right?" ”

Charles, as a Roman envoy, was quite clear about domestic affairs, and knew that Sima Yi was right, so he forcibly defended: "The population of my Roman country is more than 60 million, far more than rest, and my country's slaves often fight with fierce beasts, and their combat power is absolutely amazing. ”

Sima Yi said: "If you still want to argue and annoy our emperor, it is not a matter of 400,000 allied troops attacking Rome. You probably don't know, right? Tianzhu, Guishan, and Anxi have all been conquered by our country, and our emperor will ascend to the heights, and an army of five million can be formed in an instant. If it really came to that point, would the Roman state be able to resist? ”

The more Charles listened, the more shocked he became, he was just calculating the situation of rest, forgetting that the Tang Kingdom had conquered so many places, if there were really five million troops entering Rome, Caracalla's emperor position would not be able to be kept immediately, no, that situation must not be allowed to happen.

Charles gritted his teeth and said, "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Roman, I agree to the request of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom. ”

Li Yi said: "Your honor, there are a few small requests that come with it, but I haven't said it yet. ”
