The first thousand one hundred and eighty-nine chapters visit
When he returned home from the academy, Li Xiu kept thinking about what Xiao Yu said to him. He wanted to invite scholars from the Persian mission to come to the academy for exchanges. Li Xiu also agreed with this matter very much. In addition, he admired Xiao Yu even more. Although Xiao Yu was too square in his behavior and offended many people, he was more upright in his studies than anyone else, especially being able to ask others for advice humbly, which is also very rare among scholars.
In the next two days, Li Xiu did not go to the academy again. After all, he only worked part-time in the academy, so he could just go there occasionally. His main energy was still to be at home. Now the hottest weather has passed, and it has even begun to get colder slowly. The corn in the fields has grown taller than people, and it is estimated that it will be stronger in a while.
On the afternoon of the second day when Li Xiu was at home, he was teaching his children at home, but suddenly he received a report from his servants that Persian envoys came to visit, which made him feel shocked. After all, he was very concerned about the situation in Persia. Although he had heard some Persian rumors before, it was better to ask in person the details.
At that moment, Li Xiu asked Wu Mingkong to take over his lecture, and then he quickly came to the front hall. When he came in, he saw that there were indeed two Hu people sitting in the hall. The head was an old man with gray hair, with a thick beard on his face, which almost covered his entire face. However, the eyes exposed between his hair and beard were very bright and his eyes were very peaceful. When he saw Li Xiu coming in, the old man couldn't help but stand up and salute, "The Persian envoy Zamas pays homage to His Highness the Duke!"
"No need to be polite, why didn't Bahra come this time?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look up and down at this Persian envoy. Zamas's Chinese is very fluent. The only disadvantage is that he can't tell the tone clearly, and his accent seems a bit strange. It is obviously much different from the original Bahra, but he can't blame him. After all, Bach was originally born in the Tang Dynasty and went to Persia later.
"Bahra has important things that cannot be separated, so I came on his behalf. But before I came, he wrote a letter, hoping that I would hand it over to His Highness the Duke!" Zamas explained. When he said this, he also took out a well-sealed letter from his arms and handed it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu took the letter and was about to open it, but at this moment, Zamas suddenly pointed to the Hu man beside him and introduced: "Your Highness, in fact, we set out with the Roman mission this time, but we encountered some accidents on the way, which led to the unfortunate death of the Roman envoy. This is the deputy envoy of Rome Forcas, who also admires His Highness very much and also brought greetings from His Majesty the Roman Emperor!"
After hearing Zamas' introduction, Li Xiu noticed the Roman next to him. He just focused on Zamas and just glanced at the Roman. At first, he thought he was also a Persian. After all, the difference between Persians and Romans was not very big. Although the two countries used to be feuds, they exchanged economic and cultural exchanges very frequently, and even their clothing was quite similar, so it was not surprising that Li Xiu did not notice the other party at the beginning.
"Focas pays homage to His Highness!" The Roman deputy greeted Li Xiu in more rigid Chinese. Compared to Zamas, this Focas was much younger. He looked at at most about thirty years old. He wore a Roman robe that looked very similar to a Persian robe. He was also very humble. In fact, as long as he came to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, especially after seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with his own eyes, everyone would become humble. After all, their country was so different from that of the Tang Dynasty.
"No need to be polite. Your emperor, Brother Xila, is also a very promising monarch. I admire him for being able to let go of his hatred with Persia and form an alliance with Persia to fight against Dashi!" Li Xiu nodded to Forkas at the moment.
Li Xiu was not all polite about these words above. In fact, he was indeed very impressed by Heraclio. This man ascended the throne in the face of danger of Rome, founded the Heraclio dynasty, and led the Roman Empire to the revival. He even defeated his biggest enemy, Persia, to almost destroy the country. What is even more rare is that he was able to let go of his hatred with Persia. Although the letter from Li Shimin played a critical role in the alliance between the two countries, Li Shimin's vision was not comparable to ordinary people.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the great His Majesty Chiraclio would definitely be very happy if he learned about His Highness's praise!" Faucas said happily again at this time. He had met Li Shimin before and had some understanding of the situation of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he also knew Li Xiu's status and influence in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xiu was also very interested in the situation in Rome, and he couldn't help but talk to Forcas for a few words, and asked about the situation of the war between Rome, Persia and the Three Kingdoms.
The customs and customs of Rome were indeed very interesting. Li Xiu and Focas started chatting with each other from habits, and later talked about Roman food, clothing, etc. Later, even the Persian envoy Zamas joined in and introduced the situation in Persia. He was a famous scholar in Persia and had a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of Persia and Rome. As a result, the three of them had no end to talk.
However, when the topic turned to the war between Persia, Rome and the Great Food, Zamas and Focas both showed solemn expressions, but they did not hide it and told the current situation of the battle.
Before, Dashi almost captured the capital of Persia. Later, under the sneak attack from Rome, Dashi suffered a crushing defeat. However, Dashi quickly recovered and then divided his troops into two groups and fought with Persia and Rome on the battlefields on both sides of the east and west. At first, Chiraclius was very confident and thought he could easily defeat Dashi, but after a few games, Rome lost more and won less. Moreover, when Persia restrained some of the troops in Dashi, it made him suddenly wake up and finally began to face the powerful enemy Dashi.
However, even if Rome and Persia joined forces, the two sides still failed to get a good advantage on the battlefield. Now they can only say that they are trying hard to defend under the attack of Dashi and have no ability to counterattack. This time, the reason why they sent a delegation to the Tang Dynasty was to strengthen their ties with the Tang Dynasty, and to also hope to get help from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they also knew that it was almost impossible to let the Tang Dynasty send troops, but even moral help could inspire people.
"Your Highness, if you want to understand the current situation of the war, why not take a look at the letter Bahra wrote to you. There should be a more detailed explanation in the letter." When talking about this, I suddenly heard Zamas pointing to the letter he just passed on to Li Xiu and suggested.
