When Du He's soldiers told Du He that there were a group of blonde and blue-eyed "strange people" who spoke a strange-sounding Han language and asked to see the supreme commander here, they were very surprised, for those blonde and blue-eyed people, Du He was not the first time to hear about them, in the military university, there were instructors who mentioned that there were many powerful countries further west of the Western Regions, and the people there were different from us, our complexion was yellow, our hair color was black, and our eyes were also black, and those people had whiter complexions. The hair is blonde and the eyes are green or blue, which is strange.

Du He also heard that the country of those people was called Great Qin in the Han Dynasty, and had a lot of contacts with the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty officially called it Great Qin, which seemed to mean that the territory of their country was more similar to the Qin Dynasty, so it was called Great Qin, and the language and appearance of the people were very different from the Han people in the Central Plains.

Eighty percent are here to find trouble! And the soldier also said that he felt that the guards of those people were army, with standard weapons and standard clothes, although the raw materials were not understood, but it was probably that feeling, and the helmets, which must be made of iron.

But even so, Du He was still very curious about what people looked like and why they looked like this, so he decided to meet them, straightened out his clothes and appearance, and sat cross-legged in the center of his big tent, and asked the soldiers to bring the leader of the group over.

Soon. Three people wearing clothes that Du He had never seen before appeared in Du He's tent, Du He took a look, and sure enough, it was like this, blonde hair and blue eyes, skin color was whiter than that of the Central Plains, strange looks, and a very thick beard, but it actually looked good, it should be a high-level official of the other country, well. It seems that the group of people from the Western Regions are quite capable. Invite the big shots of the people, they are here to declare war?

"Honorable general, I am an envoy of His Majesty, the great emperor of the Persian state, and you may call me Issam." An older man in the lead stepped forward. Bow to Duhe with a very strange etiquette. If not, this understanding encompasses the act of bowing. Maybe Du He still doesn't understand, but Du He is still a little curious about this guy or speaking Chinese.

"Issam? Is that your name? Du He asked curiously.

"Yes. Mr. General, I know that the names of the people of your country are different from the names of the people of my country. Issam bowed again.

This number of etiquette is really comprehensive, Du He secretly thought to himself, it seems that this looks strange, but this number of etiquette does not have to be worse than our Central Plains people, the tone of speech is very respectful, and he has been bowing slightly, except for him, the other two people have not looked up at themselves, and they are also people who understand etiquette very well, is it difficult to be, their country, that, that, called, Persia, right, Persia...... Forehead...... Is it a country of courtesy?

Du He was a little confused for a while, but he still stood up and saluted back to Issam: "I don't know what your etiquette is, but this is the etiquette of my country, do you speak the language of my country?" Or is it your country, Persia? Speaking our language? ”

Issam said: "Dear general, our country has its own language, as well as its own writing, because our country has also had many contacts with your country in the past, and our country's merchants often travel between your country and our country, so the nobles of our country generally use the language of your country, and the nobles of our country will deliberately learn the language of your country, which is a very beautiful language and writing, and I still don't understand what kind of gods can create such beautiful words and languages." ”

This guy really can talk.

However, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, this person has shown kindness, and Du He is embarrassed to say anything, so he had to smile very modestly: "For this, Ben will still be very grateful, but you said that your country and my country have had many contacts?" When was that? ”

Issam said: "That's more than 100 years, probably 200 years!" ”

Du He's eyes widened: "More than a hundred years? Two hundred years? But I'm a Tang ...... You mean more than a hundred years ago? ”

Issam said: "Yes, honorable general, almost two hundred years ago, our country and your country had dozens of exchanges with each other, at that time, our officials recorded that the name of your country seems to be called Wei. ”

Du He recalled the history and couldn't help nodding: "Ben will understand, it's true, if that's the case, it should be right." ”

"Yes," Issam said, "but unfortunately, it seems that your country has been plunged into a civil war, so we have never been able to reconnect, and now, there is such an opportunity." ”

Du He was a little embarrassed, it is not enough to say that our country has been in a civil war since four hundred years ago, and it has only recently stopped civil war, but this country seems to have existed for a long time, Wei, it should be Xianbei Wei, that is really two hundred years, and this country has been established for two hundred years? It seems that these people cannot be treated with the eyes of barbarians, and they were in contact with the Central Plains at that time, and it should be said that this country cannot be regarded as weak.

Wait, he just said, make a connection? Opportunity?

Du He said with some confusion: "What do you mean by re-establishing contact when you just said?" ”

Issam said: "Dear general, I mean that our country has not been connected with your country for two hundred years, which is a pity for both of us, more than two hundred years ago, our envoy and your country's envoy Tongguò this ancient road used to establish a deep friendship, and because of the civil war, we lost contact, but now, we are very happy to see your country end the civil war and expand the territory here, we are very happy." ”

Du He looked at the old fellow in surprise, and felt that what he said was not a lie. It seems that there is really a feeling of happiness, but, according to the intelligence, shouldn't it be the group of guys from the Western Regions who contacted them and asked them to help in the war? If so, would they still be happy? Datang has hit here, is it a good thing for them?

Did I hear me right?

Du He asked tentatively, "General Ben would like to know, where did your country get the news about our country?" ”

Issam said: "I first heard about it from merchants from our country who came here to trade, they said. In the land where we once had a deep friendship. The terrible civil strife that should have happened was over, and now a very powerful country was built on that land, and that country was called the Don. The country is very powerful. The terrible Turks have been defeated. Conquer them and regain control of the land that once belonged to them.

Not long ago, our country received an envoy from a country called Gaochang. The envoy said that they need our help, because this country called Gaochang and many other countries have deep trade ties with our country, and we have been trading with them for two hundred years when we have not been able to trade with your country, and we cannot pretend to be blind to their help.

Then we saw the name of your country, Tang, appeared in their national letter, and in the national letter, they very disrespectfully called your country an invader, invaded their land, and enslaved their people, and in our country's impression, your country is a very polite and benevolent country, how could such a thing be done, but since they made such a request, we must come to see it, so I came here to see you, respected general. ”

Du He feels that this guy's kung fu is really first-class, it seems that Su Hou's world map is really true, there are really many, many different people in this world, but the same thing is that they are all very cunning, not easier to deal with than the Central Plains, they are not barbarians, they are educated, from their gestures, it can be seen that this person called Isam must be a nobleman.

Du He said quietly: "It's a pity, if your country is here to prevent our country from crusading against those countries that have deceived you, then, you may be disappointed, because, from here to the east, all the countries have been wiped out by me, their land is now our land, and their people are now our people, you can rest assured, for the people who are subject to our country, there is no such thing as enslavement, nor is there such a thing as a zài invader, they provoked us first, so, To guarantee dignity, we went to war. ”

Issam seemed to show a happy look, but in just a moment, this look disappeared, replaced by regret and relaxation, and he gasped: "It's a pity, but maybe this is the best outcome, because if it is really as they say, our country will be very embarrassed, but since things have come to this point, there is nothing to worry about, respected general, please allow me, on behalf of my country's Emperor Xià, to pay high tribute to your country and your country's Emperor Xià." ”

Issam took three steps back, and bowed to Du He with his two entourages, very respectful, Du He didn't want these people to think that the Tang Dynasty was a country without etiquette, so he had to stand up and salute him back, and then said: "So, Mr. Issam, are you here to Datang just for this matter?" ”

Issam paused for a moment, stepped forward, and said to Duhe: "You are a great general, and I have no intention of deceiving you, so I can tell you very honestly, if I can, I would like to meet with the Emperor of your country, because I have something very important to say to your Emperor that my country has been invaded by a group of terrible and shameless people, who are barbaric, cruel, murderous, and enslave our people, and my country has reached the most critical juncture. We need your country's help very much! ”

Du He finally clarified his thoughts, the kind of attitude that this old guy had done when he came, as well as what he said, as well as his strange attitude towards the countries of the Western Regions, it turned out to be like this, the mud bodhisattva crossed the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, and he would not have paid attention to the requests for help from the countries of the Western Regions, but they found out that the Tang Dynasty was the invader, so they remembered the contacts and friendships they had had, and felt that such a strong empire would definitely help them deal with foreign enemies, so they came over.

Du He believes that if the Western Regions countries have not been wiped out at this time, then this old guy will still stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty, and it is even very likely that he will not appear until the Western Regions countries are wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and then pretend to regret it.

That's right, that's it, Duhe has already sorted out his thoughts.

Help?

Although there are a lot of things, Du He has to admit that the current Tang Dynasty has swept away the constraints of the Western Regions, and said to help, except for the easternmost Goguryeo that has not been resolved, the other wars have generally ended, especially the Western Regions, which has been in business for a long time, that group of fools really rebelled, or a joint rebellion, which gave the Tang Dynasty a good opportunity, without food, what kind of war are you fighting?

So, if you insist on helping, Du He is really free to help them now, but ...... (To be continued......)
