There are people like Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng in the court. Zhang Chao can actually be a hand-off manager and take it in the general direction, but he doesn't have to worry about the specific matters by himself.

I don’t have to eat and eat every night, go to bed early and get up early, so I’m quite free and easy.

In fact, the imperial court has no major issues now. Whether it is to conquer the Three Kingdoms of the East China Sea, attack Zhenla, or confrontation with the Kingdom of Jieji in Xindu, it is not a very urgent matter for Dahua. Dahua is the initiative and has been controlling the situation.

The Arabs in the west were somewhat threatening, but now Dahua is actively promoting Rome and other countries to encircle the Arabs. Dahua has also officially established several squadrons, namely the Mediterranean Fleet, the Red Sea Fleet and the Persian Gulf Fleet, which are stationed in three places. The fleet is not large in size, and they are all squadrons of more than a dozen ships and 2,000 people, but also equipped with a land combat brigade of 3,000 people.

Always, Dahua and Arabia have not yet had a full-scale conflict. Dahua's overseas fleet now has no direct war with Arabia. It is still peaceful in the river in the north and on the border of the Daxia region.

The Arabs are not willing to fight directly with Dahua, especially when Dahua reveals some information to them from time to time, such as cooperation.

The Arabs are still striving to pull Dahua out of the Roman alliance, and they hope to cooperate rather than confrontation with Dahua.

In the previous series of temptations, the Arabs also understood that although Dahua was based in the East, it also had strong strength in the Western Regions.

In particular, Dahua's trade was also very important to the Arabs. They hoped to inherit the Persian territory and inherit the trade cooperation relationship with the East.

Originally, they wanted to use strength to force Dahua to cooperate with them. But Dahua's attitude was very tough, especially because their strength was very strong.

Especially in the sea, the Arabs had no choice but to do so. They started out as nomadic tribes on the peninsula and had no strength at sea. After conquering Persia, although they also obtained the Persian naval power, their strength was destroyed and they were very weak.

Their ships could not resist Dahua's navy at all.

In the previous few skirmishes, Dahua's navy controlled the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, and later even blocked the Persian Gulf, occupying several islands and two ports that guarded the bay, and they could only do nothing about it.

When the Arabs swept across Persia, they did not overestimate their pride.

After a few real frictions with Dahua, they are now very realistic.

Of course, some of the Arabs actually said that they could not defeat the Hua Empire at sea, but they were definitely invincible on land, but these people were a minority after all.

The Caliph was still very cautious. The current Caliph was the second Caliph Omer. He worked as a shepherd and a vendor in his early years. The prophet's follower and heir actually opposed the prophet in his early days, and even actively persecuted the prophet, and once assassinated Muhammad.

Later, he changed his faith and no longer believed in the Arab traditional polytheism.

Later he became a follower of the prophet and one of his two major advisers. He participated in the main early battles, as well as a surprise attack on Syria, became a close comrade-in-arms of the prophet, and later married his daughter to the prophet.

His past experiences as a humble shepherd and a vendor made him more pragmatic than usual.

In their confrontation with the Imperial Empire, they did not succeed once.

He also found that although they conquered Persia, they did not obtain the economy of Persia in the past, because one of the major sources of fiscal and taxation in Persia in the past was trade in spices and silks with the East. By monopolizing trade with the East, they transferred trade to the Mediterranean countries. The Persians used to be very rich and maintained strong troops.

But now, they can’t get any silk or spices, and they can’t get any other famous porcelain, tea, sugar and other scarce commodities.

Persian merchants and handicraftsmen fled in large numbers because of war, but now they have no business to do, and they have gone bankrupt or even fled.

Conquering a vast Persian empire and unifying the Arabian Peninsula, today's Arabia is even stronger than Persia in the past, but its fiscal and taxation situation is not good.

They need to trade with Chinese merchants and countries, and they cannot even go to full war with Chinese merchants and countries.

First defeat Rome, seize Armenia and Asia Minor, and then seize Egypt, Aksum, Panoxia and other places in the south of the Red Sea. Try not to get into evil with Dahua. The border with Dahua in the north and east must be kept stable.

We even have to establish a comprehensive trade relationship with Dahua to restore the economy.

Omer convinced other Arab leaders to fully adjust their strategic direction.

It defaulted to Dahua's occupation of Abbas Port, Haisab, Hormuz Island, etc., and even the Sinai Peninsula in the Western Red Sea also agreed to the Sinai Peninsula and no longer sent troops to try to retake it.

Omer sent an envoy to visit the Port of Abbas occupied by Dahua, and tactfully proposed the intention of formal negotiations with Dahua.

The garrison generals of the Port of Abbas received this request and immediately sent someone to contact Hanjing.

After waiting for a long time, Hanjing finally replied that Dahua was willing to negotiate with the Arabs and recognized that the Arabs occupied the Persian region, but there was a prerequisite.

That is, the Arabs must recognize the Three Emperors Alliance Agreement signed by the Tang Dynasty, Rome and Persia. The Arabs inherited Persia's status in the agreement and continued to fulfill the content of the agreement, while Dahua inherited the status of the Tang Dynasty.

Dahua asked Dahua to sign an agreement with Rome.

According to the previous border agreement in the Three Emperors Alliance, we will reiterate the boundary between Dahua and the Arabs. At the same time, the Arabs must also recognize Dahua's current ownership of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, as well as its ownership of the Sinai Peninsula and Cyprus.

If the Arabs are willing to sign this China-Arab friendly treaty, then Dahua is willing to ensure that the Arabs maintain friendly relations with the Arabs and do not invade Arabia without crossing the border and invading the security of Dahua's territory without invading Arabia without crossing the border.

Dahua is also willing to lift the maritime blockade of the Arabs and start foreign trade transactions with them.

This treaty actually violated the original alliance of the Three Emperors and the alliance with Rome.

But for Dahua, national interests are supreme, and Dahua cannot fight against the Arabs for Rome.

The most important thing is to ensure the interests of Dahua in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and Mediterranean.

Since it is said that Rome cannot defeat Arabia, we can change our strategy.

In the future, Dahua would not directly send troops to Arabia, but he could still sell arms to Rome to support them.

This is indeed a bit shameless, but the same thing is said, doing so is the best for Dahua. Let Dahua maintain a transcendent position and maximize its interests.

As for Rome being destroyed by Arabia, there is no need to worry about losing its lips and cold teeth. With Dahua's support, Rome can still hold on to the ground. Moreover, Rome still brought many allies such as Khasa and Aksum.

Dahua has added two major markets, namely Persia and Arab regions, so trade will naturally increase significantly and profits will increase greatly.

Without direct conflict, Dahua's colonies there can also be safely developing and operating.

Finally, the Great Hua Envoy and the Arab Envoy signed a Agreement on Friendship between the Great Hua Envoy and the Arab Empire in the Port of Abbas.

The Arabs basically agreed to Dahua's proposal and made great compromises in this peace treaty.

When the news of the signing of the agreement was sent back to Hanjing, even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Ma Zhou felt it was incredible. In his opinion, this peace treaty that was originally drafted by the emperor was actually quite harsh and the Arabs, who were in full swing, could not agree.

At least you have to bargain.

But they agreed without bargaining.

Now, the cabinet and parliament were even more impressed by the emperor, and the emperor has always been well known for his strategic vision. Whether it was his past strategy against the Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, and Linyi, they were quite successful, and the enemy was destroyed step by step.

But now, the emperor can actually grasp the situation in the distant Persian Gulf region so accurately.

Arabia was so powerful that in a short time, it unified the Arabian Peninsula, destroyed Persia, and seized the Syrian region of Rome. Its momentum was so strong that even Dahua was shocked.

But now, their caliphs, facing Zhang Chao's peace agreement, agreed to sign without changing. This means that they took the throat of the Persian Gulf to Dahua, and agreed to give Dahua such an important strategic location as the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.

What do they want?

Is Great Warfare so famous? They don’t even dare to bargain?

However, the emperor in his early forties had only been established for more than half a year. Not only did he obey the Central Principle, he even shocked the Arabs in the distant Persian Gulf.

Ma Zhou and others were ashamed of their own. They all thought that the conditions offered by the emperor were a requirement, waiting for the Arabs to land and pay back the money.

Who knows that the emperor is so accurate.

A piece of paper has won so much benefit for Dahua.

The Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and Mediterranean, this huge foreign trade sales area is solid. Not only has Dahua not been involved in this mud, but it has expanded its influence and increased its trade volume. This is simply a miracle.

This is the real thing that the attacker moves above the nine heavens, and the guardians hides below the nine earths.

This precise grasp of strategic vision is probably no one in the world can match it.

The Romans were very unhappy about the signing of this agreement.

In this way, a powerful ally suddenly betrayed them.

Turn around and go hand in hand with their enemies.

Augustus hurried to Hanjing again and protested to Dahua.

But his protest was useless. Dahua could not ignore his own interests for the benefit of the Romans. Herac made a trip, and the final gain was that Dahua would add another loan to Rome and use the loan to purchase weapons to sell them.

In order to make up for the problem of their decline in strength caused by Dahua's withdrawal, Dahua also provided arms to other Roman allies such as Aksum for sale. Zhang Chao also sold arms to them to enhance the strength of the Roman alliance.

Dahua also stated to the Romans that they were neutral in the war between the Roman Empire and the Arab Empire.

The Suez Concession, Cyprus Concession, Sinai Peninsula, Djibouti Territory, Port Abbas, etc., are not allowed to invade the Greater China Concession and territory in the Persian Gulf region, such as the Red Sea, Mediterranean, and the Persian Gulf region.

Merchants from various countries are allowed to enter the Chinese trade, etc., but the army is not allowed to enter.

There is a neutral zone.

Dahua's withdrawal caused the Romans to suffer.

Such a thick thigh ended up being pulled away.

Fortunately, there is some comfort in being disappointed, that is, the areas controlled by Dahua are considered to be a guarantee of the Mediterranean trade line. Dahua will continue to trade with them and are willing to continue to borrow and sell arms to them.

With Dahua, a powerful ordnance supplier, Roman talents are not that panic.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know how many days would Armenia and Asia Minor last.

The Arabs gritted their teeth and put the agreement. When they got it, the Caliph Omer's eyes were red. There was no way. If they did not surrender to China, the Chinese Empire would be the ally of the Romans and their enemies. Arabs could not fight on both sides of the east and west.

"As sooner or later, this account must be settled clearly with those Eastern conspirators." Omer said angrily.

Now, first surrender to Great China in exchange for rear security and economic stability, we can free up our hands to go westward in an all-round way, first concentrate our efforts to take Armenia, and then Asia Minor.

"Can Emperor Zhang Chao be trusted by Dahua? What if we go all out to the west and he suddenly attacks from the north or southeastern seas? Their naval fleet is extremely powerful and has dispatched three fleets here this year. In terms of confidence, they still have three fleets. Six fleets are enough to destroy all our coastal cities."

Omer said hesitantly, "But why did Zhang Chao do this? He has signed an agreement with us now. The current situation is the most profitable for him. What benefits can he get when fighting with us in a full battle?"

Harmony will benefit both, and war will result in defeat.

Arabia is Persia again, and the weak can be swallowed up. Although the Dahua Navy is strong, its number is limited after all. They can block the bay and attack the coast, but ships in the inland areas cannot be driven in.

"Don't worry about Zhang Chao first, let's fight against the Romans in Armenia first!"

Armenia and Asia Minor were both places that cannot be given up for Arabs and Romans. This was the focus of the struggle for the full rank in the Persian era.

"Maybe we should also purchase some armor and ordnance from Dahua. The Romans and Khasa people in Armenia purchased a large amount of Dahua ordnance, which was quite good."
