"It's another... This is the seventeenth one, right?" A Tang army officer looked at a corpse and sighed and asked the soldiers around him.

The soldier nodded, squatted down, and closed the eyes of the corpse. It was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of very beautiful eyes.

"Recently, those Persians have become more and more presumptuous. This place is clearly our patrol area. This child has clearly come over, but they are not letting her go!" The officer squatted down, pulled out the arrow inserted on the girl's back, held the arrow tightly, and glared at the direction of the Persian military camp.

"General, what should we do? Do we want to warn those Persians?" the soldier asked hesitantly.

The officer gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and sighed: "The general has already made a request to the Protectorate's Office. The Protectorate's Office is difficult to deal with. It has been reported to the court. Please make a decision. We have to wait for the news. Before this, we cannot act rashly. Your Majesty has ordered the severance of war and rest with the people. If we start the war, we will be responsible for the death of thousands of deaths."

The soldier looked at the girl's body sadly, his eyes full of reluctance: "General, why would those Persians rush over to die?"

The officer looked at the childish soldier and asked, "How old are you this year?"

The soldier replied: "Nineteenth, I have only joined the army for a year."

The officer nodded: "Is it born in the second year of Zhenguan? It was already after the Tang Dynasty unified the world. The Supreme Emperor ascended the throne. I am already thirty-nine. The former Sui Dakuang that you have not experienced before was experienced in my childhood. You have not experienced what it feels like to eat without anything. It is the feeling of being able to eat each other..."

The soldier looked at the officer with an incredible look. The officer smiled bitterly and said, "If I had not met a kind-hearted person who gave me food to my family, I would have been eaten. That's it. When I was so hungry, they made such a move. It's not difficult to understand. If I can't eat enough and have nothing to eat, I might as well be killed directly, which is better than starving to death slowly... People can die of battle, illness, fall, and die of death, but I can't starve to death!" The officer punched the ground and looked at the direction of Persia fiercely: "One day, I will definitely lead my army to slap Persia and cut those inhumane people into pieces!"

The girl's body was brought back to the military camp. The officer looked at the corpses of a large area of ​​land, and no one felt uncomfortable. Those Persian Eastern fugitives who came to find their relatives when they heard the news and knelt down and cried when they saw the corpses of the corpses. According to the official estimate of the Tang Dynasty, it started in April of the first year of Chenghe. It has been only six months since October. There are more than eight hundred Eastern fugitives who have been restrained by the Tang Dynasty alone, and less than five hundred Eastern fugitives have successfully crossed the border.

According to them, the Persian Eastern fugitives who were killed before crossing the border were about twenty times more than the constrained corpses of the Tang Dynasty. This number is conservatively estimated. Persia is very cruel to the Eastern fugitives. Whether it is successful or dead, the family members will be implicated and sent to be a coolie. Therefore, the Persians have reached a consensus now. Either the whole family will go together or they will not leave.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty took a breath after hearing this, and it was more than twenty times more. That is, more than 1,600 people tried to cross the border and enter the Tang Dynasty in six months. What kind of cruel treatment did the Persians flee to the Tang Dynasty regardless of life or death? Tang officials also counted the families of more than 10,000 Persians who successfully crossed the border. Their relatives who remained in Persia combined were less than 1,000. In other words, the Eastern Escapers who came to join their relatives were only a small part of them. And according to the oral narratives of the Eastern Escapers, the relatives of the Eastern Escapers were all sent to the exile, either to serve as soldiers or to work as hard labor, and there was no way to go.

Such a speed of population loss is enough to make people shocked.

The officer frowned, but at this moment, a cry broke his thoughts.

"General Zhao, General Zhao has sent someone to deliver the letter!" A messenger handed it to General Zhao with a letter. General Zhao took the letter and opened it and looked at it. His face changed, his brows frowned tightly, and then he relaxed. He put down the letter. He immediately summoned all officers of the local military camp brigade commander and above to enter his military account for a meeting.

"Everyone, I have received a letter from the commander. His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the Anxi Protectorate to order the Persian Protectorate to change its attitude towards the Persians from today. We should set up more patrols in the ten miles west, especially outside the blockade line set up by the Persians. The patrols of the Tang army must be able to directly observe the situation there. Once Persian refugees crossed the boundary, they should immediately go forward to protect them and no longer allow Persian archers to shoot and kill them like before!" General Zhao raised the letter and said excitedly.

The officers in the barracks looked at each other, and one officer asked, "Your Majesty? Have you promised us?"

General Zhao nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has agreed to us! Now I order you! You will go back to reorganize your troops, prepare for war, and increase the number of patrols. We cannot blatantly move the barracks, but our army can pass by. We must be able to monitor the blockade established by the Persians day and night. Once Persian refugees successfully cross the line, we must help immediately, and we will not suffer such suffering from one person!"

The officers agreed in unison: "No!"

General Zhao watched the officers leave the barracks and breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was transferred to this place in the 19th year of Zhenguan, he has been asking the border commander Jiao Changhe to do this. General Jiao seemed to want to do this. Du He, the majority of the Anxi Protectorate, seemed to want to do this, but the emperor at that time, the current Supreme Emperor Li Er, had been suppressing the army's request.

In April this year, the Supreme Emperor abdicated to the crown prince Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian ascended the throne and changed his reign to Chenghe. He immediately asked Jiao Changhe to allow him to do so. Jiao Changhe continued to ask Du He, the great protector of Anxi. Du He submitted a letter to request the new emperor Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian had no reply at the beginning. A few months later, the reply came - allow.

The news gradually spread, and the entire Anxi Army was inexplicably excited. Especially those military academy students and officers who regarded honor as more important than life were suppressed and were in pain. The new emperor and new principal Li Chengqian allowed their request, which made them feel much more relieved, and their impression of the new emperor and new principal suddenly improved a lot.

Of course, Li Chengqian's request was carried out without touching the Persian bottom line. If Persia really wanted to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty could win, it would not be worth the loss and would not have more power to govern the land of Persia and the Persians. Therefore, it is not possible to overstimulate the Persians for the time being, let the Persians continue to fight with the Romans and consume their little remaining vitality!

The Persians did not know about the changes in the policy here of the Tang Dynasty, so they treated the Eastern Escapers as cruel as ever. Gradually, it made it difficult for the Tang army to suppress their emotions.

Speaking of which, the Persian border guards were also quite sympathetic to those who fled east, but no one would be unable to get along with their own stomachs. Persia has been fighting for many years, and its productivity is damaged, the upper class is corrupt, and life is luxurious. The lower class of the ruling class suffers together, and the polarization in the army is also very serious. It just so happened that the phenomenon of fled east is very serious. At the beginning, there were even soldiers secretly assisting fled east to escape, as long as the fled east gives them money.

Somehow, someone in the consulting group knew about this phenomenon. It's okay. Isn't this equivalent to reducing their chances of enjoyment? One person is less productivity, and they have to be less extravagant. How could they accept that they are used to luxury? So, a scheming appeared, from an old consultant from an consulting group.

Secretly cut the rations and military pay of the Botang Border Defense Army, and then set up a system whereby every time a fugitive is killed, the border guards will be rewarded with a bag of food or a piece of five pounds of meat or money, and choose it yourself, and decide whether to promote or not according to the number of fugitives killed.

After that, the survival of the Eastern Escapers on the Botang border took a sharp turn, which is also the fundamental reason why even if the Eastern Escapers cross the border, they will be shot and killed by Persian archers. Under the temptation of food, money and power, the Eastern Escapers became objects that accumulated experience points from their previous sympathy. The border guards were very enthusiastic about killing the Eastern Escapers, and even had to fight for the ownership of the body of an Eastern Escapers.

This news was reported to the new emperor Li Chengqian after being discovered by the Blood Drops in Persia. Li Chengqian was furious. The court was one-sided accusation of the occurrence of this situation. Although it did not agree with the Tang Dynasty's interference in this matter, this was also an important reason for the change of Li Chengqian's attitude. In the future, the land and population were all things from my Tang Dynasty. Now you are going to kill me, leaving it for me to have a mess. I'll help you wipe your butt?

After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he delivered the first letter of state to the Persian Empire as an emperor, informing them of the current and future decisions of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Chengqian's concerns about the attitude of the Persian Empire toward refugees. Li Chengqian said, "You can't do this." I heard in Chang'an City that I want to send troops to destroy you, let alone those troops that I witnessed every day. If you say that if you are not careful, I am so far away and it is difficult to control the border guards there, if they can't help but call, how should we end up? Do you think so?

The little Persian emperor was confused by the letter of the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know how the Tang Dynasty learned about their internal resolutions on the fugitives. But now that the letter of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, there is a little change in attitude towards Persia, and it is annoyed by the cruelty and incompetence of the upper class of the Persian Empire, and even the plan to "very likely" make the army intervene.

The Persian senior officials have been used to it for so many years. From the moment they heard the sound of cannons, they trembled when they saw the Tang people, from their hearts to their legs and feet tremble. From the government to the army, they were all soft when they saw the Tang people. The old emperor Li Shimin was like a lion and tiger, and they were not polite to them at all. They secretly hated Li Shimin in their hearts, but they had no choice. They finally waited until the old emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne. The Persians thought that the young new emperor was gentler, but the new emperor was even more awesome than his father and directly issued a letter of nationality...

The Persians felt quite depressed.

However, the existence of the fugitives in the east made them unable to sleep. They were shocked every night. Fortunately, the mainland was in the mainland. People near the border areas of the Tang Dynasty fled to the east. At that time, even some soldiers and officials would flee to the east and live a good life in the Tang Dynasty. The Persians were also envious of why the Tang Dynasty was so rich and how could there be so much land? But they had no choice but to lose one person, and they absolutely had to curb this situation.

It is said that, and it is also done, but the effect is not obvious. The Tang army and merchants gave the Persians a very good impression before. The market for those rumors was not very large. Except for those Persians who had never seen the Tang people, they believed it more. Persians who had seen the Tang people and even had direct contact with the Tang people did not believe it, especially in the border areas, where rumors were almost extinct and could not be heard at all.
