Since the last battle of Nehavand, Da Shi took the initiative to propose peace talks, Datang took into account that Qi Bi He Li and Xue Wanche led the troops and labor divisions on an expedition, and the logistics pressure of the army was too great, so in the end they finally agreed to peace talks, and finally the two sides took Nihavand as the boundary to truce, and the Persians also took the opportunity to restore the country, but most of their land was occupied by the big cannibals, and the current Persian territory is less than a quarter of the past.

After the First World War of Nehavand, the pace of the eastward expansion of the Great Food was finally blocked by the more powerful Datang. However, the Great Eclipse did not stop the pace of expansion, for example, in the original Persian homeland, after the eastward road was blocked, the Great Eclipse army began to turn south, and soon occupied the area south of Nehavand, that is, the southern region of Iran and Pakistan in later generations, adjacent to the Arabian Sea in later generations, and the easternmost point has also bordered North Tianzhu, and the two sides are bounded by the Xindu River. The so-called Xindu River is actually the Indus River located in Pakistan in later generations.

The southeast of the Xindu River is the North Tianzhu, and the Great Eclipse also quickly learned about the endless war in the Northern Tianzhu, so the high-level of the Great Eclipse is already studying whether to send troops to occupy the Northern Tianzhu? It's just that because their expansion speed is too fast, the military strength has been unable to keep up, so they haven't started for the time being.

It was also in this situation that Li Zhen and Li Yun, with the support of Li Su, gathered an army of 100,000 and invaded Northern Tianzhu with a sweep of thousands of troops, destroying more than a dozen countries along the way. Many of them had already converted to Neo-Brahmanism, so when they saw Li Zhen's army, they prepared water and water to welcome the arrival of the army one by one. Among these people were not only commoners, but also many administrative and religious aristocrats.

It is also under the crushing of this absolute strength, as well as the internal and external cooperation of the new Brahmins of Northern Tianzhu. As a result, Li Zhen's army attacked quickly, sometimes even reaching the border of a small country. The other side was ready to surrender from top to bottom, and it only took two and a half months in the end. The entire Northern Tianzhu has completely fallen into the hands of Li Zhen and Li Yun, and their Tianzhu Empire has finally lived up to its name.

For Li Zhen and Li Yun's swift action, the big cannibals didn't have time to react at all, and when they understood what was going on, the entire Northern Tianzhu had become a part of the Tianzhu Empire, and on the east bank of the Xindu River, Li Zhen personally led an army of 50,000 troops to be stationed there, and they had to practice every day. Especially the firearms unit, the big cannibals on the other side of the river are woken up every morning by the roar of artillery.

What alarmed the big cannibal even more was that. In addition to training the troops, Li Zhen also transferred craftsmen to set up a shipyard by the river, built many small and medium-sized boats, and at the same time, there were also non-commissioned officers who took boats every day for landing training, as if they could cross the river at any time.

The abnormal dynamics of the Tianzhu Empire naturally attracted the attention of the high-level of the Great Food, and at the same time, they were also very shocked that Li Zhen could swallow the Northern Tianzhu in such a short period of time, which made them have to start facing up to the strength of Li Zhen and Li Yun. even elevated the Tianzhu Empire, which had been ignored by them, to the same level as the Tang Dynasty and the Great Qi.

That is, at the same time as the Tianzhu Empire annexed Northern Tianzhu, the Tang Dynasty suddenly made a decision that made the cannibals panic even more, and several large armies stationed in the Western Regions began to march towards Persia in the west. The total number of troops reached more than 60,000 people, and with the 40,000 troops led by Khibi Holi, the total number of troops stationed in Persia reached 100,000.

At this juncture, the Tang Dynasty increased its troops. And it echoes with the Tianzhu Empire, which makes Da Shi have an association: Could it be that Datang and Tianzhu are ready to join forces to deal with them. Or maybe even recapture the Persian homeland that they had just occupied in one fell swoop?

If it was just a Tianzhu or Datang, Da Shi would not be too afraid. After all, both of them have their own shortcomings, and Datang is far away from the Western Asia-Pacific region, no matter how strong their national strength is, it is impossible to support too many troops for a long time. Tianzhu is newly established, and the country has not been completely pacified, even if it is expanded, the strength is very limited. But if the two of them join forces, then the energy generated is not as simple as one plus one waiting for two, at least the Great Eclipse army in the Persian region will definitely not be able to resist it.

Feeling the threat brought by the alliance between Tianzhu and Datang, the cannibals finally couldn't sit still, and they began to send envoys to Datang and Tianzhu to contact Li Shimin and Li Yun and Li Zhen father and son respectively, even if they couldn't resolve the war through negotiations, but at least they had to figure out the other party's intentions.

However, just when the envoy of Da Shi was just sent out, on the ground and sea south of the Da Shi Peninsula, there was a naval fleet sent by Li Su, and the navy of 30 main warships did not just go back after showing off their might, but landed in the Hafeng Jiao area, which is very close to the Da Shi Peninsula, and it seemed that they were still preparing to be stationed for a long time.

Here we would like to explain the topography of the Great Food Peninsula, which was later known as the Arabian Peninsula. The Red Sea lies between the Great Food Peninsula and Africa, and after going south out of the Red Sea, it enters the waters of the Gulf of Aden, which is located between the Great Food Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.

The so-called Horn of Africa, in fact, is the Somali Peninsula in later generations, because its topography is like a rhinoceros horn, so people call it the Horn of Africa very vividly, and at the top of the Horn of Africa, it is called Cape Hafeng, the navy sent by Li Su is to land in the Cape Hafeng area, and also make a long-term garrison.

Ha Feng Jiao guards the entrance to the Gulf of Aden, the geographical location is very important, although for some reasons, Ha Feng Jiao has not been temporarily divided into the ruling area by the Great Eclipse, but in fact, there have been many big cannibals here have migrated over, so that the Great Food has a considerable dominance over Ha Feng Jiao, but when Li Su's navy was anchored and stationed here, many big cannibals fled back to the Big Food Peninsula in fright, making the Great Cannibal's efforts here for many years come to naught.

What's even more serious is that after Li Su's navy occupied Cape Hafeng, it was too close to the Dashi Peninsula, and Dashi's navy was not at all the opponent of the Daqi Navy, that is, Li Su could drive warships to the Red Sea at any time, and even bombard the port city of Dashi like Li Ke did in the Iberian Peninsula.

In addition, Li Su's occupation of Hafeng Point also has a meaning, which means that he will extend his tentacles to the first step of the Suez Canal, which is likely to penetrate into the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden in the future, and step by step to the Suez Canal, the golden waterway, which has just been opened for less than ten years, has become one of the important financial sources of the Great Food, so they will never allow any mistakes in the Suez Canal.

It's just that at this time, the upper echelons of Da Shi have also smelled a bad taste, and the land is facing the double pressure of Datang and Tianzhu, and now even Li Su's Daqi Navy has come to intervene, and these three kingdoms have the same origin, and it can even be said in layman's terms, it is Li Shimin, who is the father, with his three sons preparing to fight the big food, and the strength of the three kingdoms is extremely strong, even if it is a one-on-one match, Da Shi has no certainty of victory, not to mention that it is still three against one.

In this case, Da Shi finally felt a fear of facing a life-and-death situation, and while strengthening their armaments, they actively contacted the three kingdoms of Datang, hoping that this war could be avoided through negotiations, even if it was at a certain price, they were willing, after all, who let the family fight one of them?

For the envoy sent by Da Shi, Li Su, Li Yun and Li Zhen all chose to avoid it, and only gave the envoy one sentence, that is, let them go to Chang'an to talk to Li Shimin.

The attitude of Li Su and the three of them made Da Shi confirm his previous guess, this matter was really based on Da Tang, and the three countries united to prepare to make a move on them.

After understanding this, Da Shi immediately sent several heavyweight envoys to Datang, and they also took the sea route, first to Tianzhu, and then to take a very fast steamship, which seemed to be much farther than taking the land route, but because the speed of the steamship was very fast, it still had to save a lot of time in the end.

After these envoys finally arrived in Chang'an, they immediately asked Li Shimin for peace talks, but Li Shimin deliberately hung out these envoys for half a month before receiving them, and their attitude was lukewarm, which further increased the psychological burden of the cannibals.

In fact, from the moment the Great Food Envoy arrived in Chang'an, Li Su's plan to coerce the Great Food had almost been carried out, and the Tang Dynasty transferred troops to Persia on the one hand, and on the other hand, Li Shimin came forward to negotiate with the Great Food. As for Li Zhen and Li Yun, they are also doing well in Xinduhe. The rest of Li Su took the initiative to attack and occupied the throat of Hafengjiao, a big cannibal. This kind of sea and land strength of the three countries makes Da Shi feel a huge threat in all directions.

Although the big cannibals also suspected that this was a bluff on the part of Datang, they didn't dare to bet, after all, this was already a matter of life and death for Da Shi, in case it really angered Datang and led to the outbreak of war, then the consequences were definitely not something anyone could bear.

It is precisely because of this that the envoy of the Great Food was very respectful in the face of Li Shimin, and even offered to return some land in Persia to avoid the outbreak of war.

It's a pity that Li Shimin's appetite is not just something that can be satisfied, he unabashedly expressed his interest in the Suez Canal during the negotiation process, and even proposed that as long as Dashi relinquishes the management of this canal, then Datang will sign a peace treaty with Dashi to ensure that Datang will not take the initiative to attack Dashi.
