On the sea boat, Suning and Sun Simiao were discussing the failure of the 38th experiment. As expected at the beginning, the prescription had great flaws and was not as effective as imagined. It gave people the feeling that it had lasted a few days of life for the patient. After that, the disease would take the patient's life even more violently. Within three days, the condition would continue to improve, but after three days, the disease would take the patient's life within one day.

If a patient wants to spend the last time with his family, this medicine is a good farewell medicine, but Suning and Sun Simiao both think that no one has this idea. It is simply a full meal and has nothing to do. This prescription is useless and has no practical effect, but it is the only prescription that can suppress the disease. When the entire medical team can't find any clues, this prescription gives the medical team a little bit of hope.

After analyzing the medicinal materials, they felt that the medicinal materials are more suitable for people with serious illnesses in terms of efficacy and properties, but this prescription did not find any medicine. In other words, the medicine used to guide the efficacy and enhance the medicinal power may be a lack of this prescription. Sometimes, the medicine in a medicinal material may greatly improve the medicinal properties of the whole medicine, and it may even determine whether a medicine can play the role it should have played. Moreover, medicine is often very strange, such as bat bugs.

Suning didn't know whether this medicine needed to be used in conjunction with the medicine, but Sun Simiao believed that the prescription for treating serious diseases often used the corresponding medicine to treat patients. The old village doctor used this medicine to save three people from the few people in the world. It should be because of the use of the medicine. The old village doctor probably already knew the source of the disease, but due to time, he did not have time to improve the entire prescription, so there was such a shortcoming, and the medicine was not left in the prescription.

Suning doesn't know if this is true. Anyway, there is no drug citation when it is found out. Perhaps it is because of the drug citation. If so, how should I use the drug citation? Or what kind of drug citation should be used? This is not something that Suning can participate in. So Suning just comes to patrol every day and then cares about Chu Wei and the others' progress. They have not released the pigeons that told the death, so 80% are still alive. Twenty percent are dead and there is no time to release the pigeons.

Suning felt that as time goes by, more and more survivors should appear. If survivors can be found, they should have news. Suning specially sent someone to put a letter in the hiding place of their boat. Tell them about the news of the Tang Dynasty's retreat, and asked them to go directly to Yingzhou to land along the sea and land, and then go to the naval camp after getting help from Yingzhou. Never climb to the Liaodong Peninsula, where the plague is raging.

Usually, Suning still improves its Liaodong strategic plan in the naval camp on the shore, thinking about how to build Liaodong in the shortest time.

This is a fertile land with great potential. No one has developed it for thousands of years. It has made the white mountains and black waters cheaper for foreigners. Now that I have come, the fertile black soil in the Northeast cannot be abandoned again until the end of the Qing Dynasty. It must be used now. Although the northeast is cold and the earth is moving, the long-term desolation and the application of natural forces have made the black soil unique to the Northeast extremely fertile. Even if it can only be planted once a year, it can still be harvested.

Raw materials such as soybeans used to make soy products and soy sauce, as well as some oil crops, can be placed on the black soil in the Northeast. And because the land utilization rate is not high now, the planting and output of oil crops cannot be increased. Once black soil is used, it will be beneficial.

According to the current trend, at least one million people should be migrated to the northeast black soil. It is a huge treasure. Although it is cold, as long as it develops, its wealth will not be weaker than the fish and rice towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The black soil is no worse than the rice land at all.

Moreover, the arable area in the Northeast is very high. Compared with the current Guanzhong, North China, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Northeast can also be regarded as the country of Tianfu. This is equivalent to another Central Plains. On the original map, the territory of the Tang Dynasty only occupied less than one-tenth of the Northeast land, and it cannot reflect the fertility of the Songhua River Nenjiang River Basin. Such a good piece of land must be occupied by the Han people in advance, and it cannot be cheaper for others.

The original design was very good, but in mid-October of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Suning received a letter from His Majesty Li Er from Chang'an City, and the content of the letter surprised Suning.

The content actually came from a request for help from a country called Persia in the extreme west of the Western Regions. According to the historian's inquiry, it looked nearly two hundred years ago. The Northern Wei court at that time had very friendly contacts with this country and had relatively good friendships. This country gave the Northern Wei court at that time a very good feeling.

According to records, this country has been established for more than 400 years, and now they are being attacked by a group of Arabs. The attacks of these Arabs are very fierce. This ancient Persian country could no longer withstand their rapid attack. Therefore, when the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Western Regions, the documents for help sent by the countries in the Western Regions gave them hope. They sent envoys to get the support of the Tang Dynasty in the army and recreate the friendship at that time.

Suning patted his head and finally remembered that this was the battle between white and black food recorded in the history books of the Tang Empire in another time and space, that is, the war between the ancient Persian Sassanid dynasty and the emerging Arab Empire. However, Suning was still very interested in this translation. In his original memory, it was obviously white and black food, but why did it translate it into Persia and Arabia now? Could it be because of the butterfly effect?

Moreover, in the original history, the last monarch of the Sassanian Dynasty did seek help from China. In 661 AD, the son of the last monarch of the Sassanian Dynasty fled to Chang'an City to ask for help from Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Of course, the Tang Dynasty did not do its best at that time. It only symbolically escorted him back to his hometown and established a Persian Protectorate. It was destroyed two years later, and there was no news after that. The formal war between the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire would be nearly eighty years later, the Battle of Henglus commanded by Gao Xianzhi.

It was a battle full of regrets, but if it happened now, Suning had reason to believe that the first battle with the Arab Empire would be the first step for the Tang Dynasty to enter Central Asia. Moreover, Guo Xiaoke and Du He from the Anxi Protectorate both expressed their attitude to support the war. His Majesty Li Er also agreed with the reasons they proposed. If a Persian Empire was blocking in front and did not allow the Arab Empire to fight, then it would definitely be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

If the Western Regions that had just been pacified, it would be bad if there would be any accident that would happen. Even if there was no fight, the Persian Empire would be allowed to be destroyed by the Arab Empire. Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty would have to go to war with the Arab Empire. When war started at that time, the Arab Empire would become stronger and more unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty Li Er thought this view and the request for help from the Persian Empire was extremely novel, and the civil officials also found it very novel. So His Majesty Li Er put out the exquisite version of the world map and studied it with the ministers. After the fresh momentum passed, the ministers analyzed it from a rational perspective and divided it into two factions. The faction led by Du Ruhui advocated immediately sending troops into the Persian Empire to help the Persians fight against the Arabs.

The faction led by Fang Xuanling advocates steady progress. When you do not understand the specific situation, you should not send troops rashly, but consider it based on the actual situation. The language of both sides is not clear, and the Tang army rashly enters a completely unfamiliar place and fights a group of completely unfamiliar people. No one knows the living habits there, the climate there, the food and people there.

Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty had just fought three wars. Although they all won and gained huge benefits, the loss of the army and the losses of the first two were also huge. The national strength accumulated over five years was lost a lot. What's more, the Battle of Goguryeo has not ended yet, and I don't know when the terrible plague will end. Although the Tang Dynasty has money, it is not like this. The Tang Dynasty needs to recuperate and organize its internal affairs.

Changsun Wuji of Du Ruhui's faction said that there is no need to worry about organizing internal affairs. The Tang army went abroad to fight in Persian territory, rather than fighting in the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to worry about this. Moreover, from the Persians' letter of state, we can know that the Persian countries are all under threat from the Arabs.

If the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack the Arabs and defeated them and saved their capital at this time, it would help the Tang Dynasty gain a foothold in Persia in the shortest time and gain huge prestige. In the strategic sense, defeating the Arab army that attacked the Persian capital can also well defeat the morale of the Arabs and make them have concerns about the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, who knows if the Persians' capital falls, will they still be able to stop effective resistance? The Goguryeo's capital is destroyed and it will be completely a mess. This is the lesson of the past. Once the Persians fall into chaos, it will be difficult to reorganize. Once the Persian Empire is destroyed by the Arab Empire, the Tang Dynasty will directly face the threat from the Arabs.

Although it is not certain whether the Arabs will attack the Tang Dynasty, it is obviously more dangerous to be neighbors with a weak Persian Empire. It is better to say that this is a typical representative of the coldness of the lips and teeth. We don’t have so much time to find out the other party’s background. This is a huge opportunity, an opportunity that we need to seize, and it will be fleeting.

After considering the suggestions of both sides, His Majesty Li Er hesitated a little. After all, this was the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty and even in the history of the Chinese Empire. Leaving the country to help foreign troops fight with foreign countries, contacting a group of people who have never been in contact with, and fighting with a group of people who have never been in contact with. This is related to national prestige, national security and even the development of the country. All of this needs to be carefully considered.

His Majesty Li Er decided to see what Suning meant. He felt that Suning had always been sensitive and decisive to external news. Moreover, His Majesty Li Er's foreign information came from the stories Suning told His Excellency Li Yuan, the battles between the Roman Empire and Carthage, and the Spartacus. They all sounded very novel. In the era of chaos in the Central Plains, the distant West was also an era of wars with heroes.

Suning almost understood the current situation. His Majesty Li Er also said that the other party hopes that the Tang Dynasty can dispatch 100,000 troops to help fight, at least not less than 50,000. Otherwise, there will be no capital to fight with hundreds of thousands of Arab troops. The Arabs are now invading on both sides. There are about 200,000 people on the front line of the Persian Empire. Due to organizational failure and serious land losses, the Persian Empire can only send 300,000 people to fight. If it is defeated, it can only use temporary armed people to make up for the numbers.

A typical example of the previous battle was that 50,000 Arabs defeated the 100,000 troops of the Persian Empire head-on, so the Persians felt that there was no hope for this battle at all, but that was the last barrier of their capital, and it was estimated that the battle had started now, and there was not much time, and the result of the war could come out.
