"Help?" Du He pretended to be puzzled and asked, for this kind of thing, it was really rude not to ask carefully, although Du He did not have the idea to help them.

Issam hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes, we really need your country's help, your country has conquered the powerful Turks, the strength of the Turks is obvious to all, but your country can destroy the Turks, and conquer them, which makes our country feel very promising, our country is under an unprecedented and powerful enemy attack, the enemy's goal is to destroy our country!" ”

Du He became interested, for the war between the other two countries that were close at hand, and it also involved the war of annihilation, or a foreigner, who looked strange, and he couldn't be interested in it.

"You talk about it carefully, I'll listen to it, I think it's necessary." Duhe said.

Issam nodded happily, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "This enemy is not the same god as our country, it is a cruel, violent, greedy god who only knows how to destroy and demand, and the evil race favored by this greedy god, through the greedy heart, violently invades our country, and tries to destroy us countless times.

Under the protection of the gods, we have resisted the attacks of this terrible invader countless times, but their god of greed is so terrible that we can hardly defeat them, we can resist, but we cannot win, this is our sorrow, our sorrow. Our country has a great history of 400 years, but is it going to perish here? ”

Issam shed tears, and Duhe probably understood, it is estimated that just like the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in China, the faculty of the military university said that these countries always like to believe in some strange gods, but they do not respect their parents and ancestors enough, and they only know how to sacrifice to those gods when they have food, and ignore their parents and ancestors. So Duhe has no interest in the battle of the gods between them. But they are very interested in their history.

Four hundred years.

In the history of China, that is, the Xia, Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties had a history of 400 years, and the Han was calculated separately from the former Han and the Later Han, otherwise it could not be regarded as the same dynasty at all. Four hundred years of dynasty. It has a long history. At this time, he is facing the disaster of losing the country, but this does not seem to be a very accident, it has come to this time. It must have been very debilitating, and it was coming to an end.

"Has it been 400 years since your country was founded?" Duhe asked.

Issam was a little strange, but replied anyway: "Yes, General, our country has been four hundred years since its establishment, and in the most powerful period, we once defeated the mighty Roman Empire and captured their emperor!" That was hundreds of years ago. ”

Duho heard the term of interest: "Roman Empire? Or the emperor? You have captured their emperor? It's true? ”

Isam nodded and said: "Yes, it was a long, long time ago, under the leadership of a great emperor, we defeated the evil Romans, and captured their emperor, imprisoned him for a lifetime, and acquired a lot of wealth and land, but that was in the past, and we are now in danger of the emperor being captured and dying, a few years ago in the past five years, our country was very turbulent, and five emperors were replaced within five years, It was not until the current emperor ascended the throne that it was considered stable.

But the current Emperor was only eight years old when he ascended the throne, and he was not able to deal with state and military affairs at all, so we have been losing battles, constantly losing our land and soldiers, and we can no longer afford such losses, and now, just now, the evil Arabs have driven their army to the vicinity of one of our very important cities, and once we lose this city, we will most likely lose our capital! It's a shame! ”

Duhe became more and more interested, and then asked, "What kind of enemy is that?" What kind of weapons are used? What is the strength of the troops? ”

Issam hurriedly said: "Those are very vicious enemies, their fighting ability is very strong, according to the general, their combat ability can even be compared with the terrible Turks, they use straight swords and long knives, sharp and terrifying, can quickly cut the throat of our soldiers, their horses are very strong, they run faster than our horses, they are also very tall, their bows and arrows are also powerful, the range is longer, sharper."

We have more than fifteen million people and a million troops, although they only have 500,000 troops, but this number is constantly growing, and the combat effectiveness of the army is also very strong, we use 200,000 soldiers to fight against their 100,000 soldiers, and the result is that we are defeated, so they are very terrible enemies! ”

Straight swords and long knives? That shouldn't be a powerful weapon, Datang's knives and swords are the most powerful! The horses are strong, tall, and quite interesting, compared with the horses of the Tang Dynasty, which is better or worse? Long range of bows and arrows? How far can it be than the Eight Bull Crossbow? That's not worried, I'm the ancestor of the bow and crossbow, and as for horses and combat effectiveness, 200,000 Persian soldiers are not 100,000 Arabs...... It's a mouthful......

The combat effectiveness is still a bit interesting, but what about the combat effectiveness of these Persian soldiers? The Arabs are supposed to be a new country, vigorous young people, while the Persian Empire is a dying old man, and it is obvious that their defeat was not unexpected, so they want to ask the Tang army, which defeated the Turks, to help?

Duho's brain began to spin rapidly, according to this Isam, the Arab army has approached their capital, so it will not be long before their emperor leaves the capital for refuge, according to this reasoning, maybe this Arab army will soon be able to destroy this Persian Empire, and then occupy the original territory of the Persian Empire and become a new neighbor.

According to this guy, those Arabs seem to be belligerent. And it has a strong combat ability, and if it is not done well, it is possible to carry out with Datang...... Ah! After so many years, I have always fought with the people around me and my own people, and now I have finally cleaned up all these people, can I fight against the west?

However, compared to this seemingly weak and twilight Persian Empire, perhaps the Arab Empire is more threatening, after all, it is a neighboring country. This is also the newly acquired territory of the Tang Dynasty. There are many inconveniences in management, and if you face a war at this time, it is likely to be very passive, so. It is still necessary to keep the war under control outside the country. Let the country develop with peace of mind.

To put it this way. Is it in our interest to support them?

Du He couldn't help but pay some attention to this information, Datang's next development goal is estimated to be to fight westward, and if it goes west, it will definitely meet those so-called Arabs. Whether they are strong or not has something to do with Datang's westward expansion strategy, if they are very strong, then it will be very difficult to fight, and at present, there is a Persian state between the two countries, if the Arab country swallows the Persian state, then for Datang, it will have to face a more powerful opponent.

Du He began to think about the pros and cons of doing this, and whether it should be done, and thought of a good reason before he could discuss it with Guo Xiaoke, and then go to inform the emperor of His Majesty, obviously, these Persians very much hope that the Tang Dynasty can send troops to help them, and sending troops abroad to help them fight abroad is a big thing, a big thing that has never been done, or a big country with a history of four hundred years, this matter is even greater, not for him, a general, to call the shots.

Looking at Du He's thoughtful expression, Issam felt that there was a play, so he immediately nodded to the people around him, and the two entourages nodded, and walked outside, ready to show Du He the things he brought, which were all things sent by the emperor with gritted teeth, if he couldn't exchange for reinforcements, it would be difficult to explain.

Du He felt a little strange, but did not stop them, and after a while, a dozen Persians of the same appearance came in, one of them was holding a wooden box, which looked very heavy, Du He couldn't help asking, "What are these things?" ”

Issam said: "General, I am an honest person, I want to express to you that the purpose of our visit is to hope to get the assistance of the Tang Kingdom in the army, when we came in, we saw the general's army, strong, brave, brave, any Chinese words I know are not enough to describe the elite of this army, general, this is my heartfelt praise, of course, I also know that if your country wants to send an army, it must need a lot of consideration, these things, just a little thanks." ”

Issam said, let those Persian men open the wooden box, and suddenly, dazzling colorful gems appeared in these big boxes, in addition to gems, there are also pearls, as well as agate, and golden gold, Du Ho's eyes suddenly widened, I have to say, just these things, he knows gems, has seen gems, knows the value, just these ten boxes of gems, pearls, agate gold, it is estimated that it is worth the cost of at least half a year's expenses of the 40,000 troops of the entire Anxi Prefecture plus the reserve army of Guzhou and Hunzhou.

Such a big gem, ruby, sapphire, emerald, agate, pearl, these things, but Suning told Du He at the beginning, how precious, how much money can be exchanged, how much food can be exchanged, how many people can be fed, or the army and the like, but Suning also said that only in normal times these things have a price, if it is a troubled time when life is as cheap as a dog, food is the most precious, at that time, these things are just broken stones.

Duhe looked at it for a while, took a deep breath, returned to his seat, sat down, and did not speak, Issam's eyes widened, he didn't understand what the young general meant, couldn't look down? How big is his appetite? These things, those are treasures of the imperial family, how many years of accumulation of treasures, how determined did the emperor make to take them out? These things are worth the expenses of an army in the country for a year!

Looking at Issam's puzzled and shocked expression, Duhe smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Ben has never seen so many gems, so many pearls, agate and gold, but what do you mean by taking out such things?" Is it to be given to His Majesty the Emperor of our country? ”

Issam frowned, and said as if determined: "No, no, these things are for the general!" All of them! ”

Du He was shocked in his heart, this person is so bold, he feels the value of these things, he actually wants to give these things to himself without saying a word? Indeed, even if the imperial court allows troops to be sent, it is estimated that the commander is himself, and there is nothing wrong with currying favor with himself, but Du He does not intend to accept it.

"I think you seem to have misunderstood something, I am indeed a general, and I am also the cavalry commander of this large land, but I do not have the authority to lead the army to help your country, even my top boss does not have it, such a big thing, it is natural to ask the emperor's majesty to agree, so, you still put these things away, I will introduce you to my top boss! You can ask him, maybe he can give you some advice. Du He said with a smile. (To be continued......)
