Suning stayed in the Holy City for two days, and during this period, he went to the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion to meet with Du He, allowing Du He to participate in this negotiation with him, and also brought a majestic army to shock the Persians, and then enjoyed the Western Regions style of food in the Western Regions. In fact, it was all kinds of barbecue. If the taste was really mentioned, it was not as delicious as the barbecue roasted from Suning's own mansion, but what was needed was this style and this special flavor.

When roasted lamb, I ate it with my hands. When I grilled it, it turned out to be a large piece. It was almost burnt outside and was not cooked inside. But this feeling was really good. Suning also had some wild bloodlines, which seemed to inherit the ancient bloodline of ancient humans. She was quite interested in raw food. Especially after seafood became popular, Suning often asked the servants at home to prepare some seafood such as shells and sea fish, and then freeze it with ice, eat it raw and jealous, which has a unique flavor.

The same is true for these wild roasted lambs, and even red blood can be seen inside, but this is not important. Eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine in large gulps is the style of the Western Regions. If you eat rice like Jiangnan and noodles like Guanzhong, the Western Regions will not be the Western Regions. After the Persians came to the Holy City, they also brought their eating habits. Because of their profound cultural heritage, they gradually spread around and were brought to a more distant place by the caravans coming and going.

Whenever Suning goes to a new place, the first thing he has to do is to taste the most special local food. He feels that he can learn about the most basic cultural environment and heritage of a place through food. The food is delicious and the customs will not be too unacceptable. Of course, whether it is delicious depends on personal habits, which vary from person to person. If he really goes to some primitive tribes and eats bugs every day, Suning probably won’t be able to stand it.

A few days later, news came from Persia that the negotiation site was in the temporary military camp of the Tang army patrol within ten miles of the Botang border. After all, Persia is still a big country, not a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so I still have to give some face. Suning did not come to fight this time, but to spread the idea of ​​peace and benevolence. Well, now it is not the time to fight you, and you will fight you when you collapse.

The Persians came to negotiate without surprise. Isham, the young emperor trusted the most. Isham is now also in the advisory group, but it seems that he is not the main person in charge and has been excluded. If the young emperor had not believed in him, he would have really not be able to hold on. This time, he probably was the result of being excluded, so he came here to clean up this mess.

Isham and Du He are acquaintances, and Suning doesn't know him, but Isham has also heard of Suning's name for a long time. Although Xue Wanche took over the command of the expeditionary force after Chai Shao, Du He has a lot of interactions with people like Isham. After Du He got married, he was replaced by Xue Rengui. When Du He returned to the Western Regions to serve as the Protector of Anxi Protectorate, Isham was the person who was mainly responsible for contacting the Tang Dynasty. The two were old acquaintances.

Suning brought Du He to join him and had this idea. After all, Isham and Du He were acquaintances. After they met and talked, the atmosphere might not be so awkward. This military conflict was caused by the fugitives from the east of Persia. More than 1,000 fugitives from the east of Persia were killed. More than 170 soldiers were killed in the Tang Dynasty, and more than 500 Persian soldiers were killed. Du He personally expelled the army, destroying the border blockade line, resulting in more than 10,000 border residents quickly fleeing to the Tang Dynasty within three days. Three days later, they were re-blocked by the army that was replaced and blocked, causing heavy losses.

Isham was indeed in a difficult situation. He knew that Persia's national strength was no match for the Tang Dynasty at all, and he also had some understanding of the causes of the Eastern Escapers. In other words, Isham even sympathized with those Eastern Escapers. Although his family has always been nobles, he had experienced many famine incidents in his childhood, witnessed the pain of life of the lower class people, and had deep sympathy for them. He belonged to the enlightened faction in the ruling group.

However, both the regime and military power were controlled by conservatives. The enlightened and infantry officers in the army had relatively small power. These officers stood out from the Tang Dynasty in the Arab battle, most of whom were from civilians. Although the cavalry forces were severely damaged, the main people in the army were basically from cavalry, and cavalry officers were basically from military aristocrats.

The infantry civilian officers were not strong. Although they were gradually rising, Dance's voice was still controlled by military aristocrats, and the regime was also controlled by political families led by advisory groups. Although Isham could enter the advisory group by virtue of his merits and background, his ideas and political views were in great conflict with the advisory group. After refusing two or three bribes, he was marginalized.

He was also helpless.

So he envied the Tang Dynasty's regime, military power and even the throne were in the hands of the reformists. Their emperor was the leader of the reformists. The main officers in the army were the emperor's old subordinates, so they naturally supported the reform. The main conservative opposition in the political forces was a group of people who became the "Shandong Heroes". They were defeated by the reformists many years ago. The reformists controlled most of the power. Therefore, the vitality he felt when he visited the construction of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty was something that the Persian Empire had not appeared for a long time.

The Tang Empire was very vigorous, but what about the Persian Empire? The reform and enlightened factions were firmly suppressed by the conservative opposition and could not control the initiative. Perhaps several excellent officials would appear in certain areas, making the local area live and work more peacefully, but that was only an individual situation. The entire Persian Empire fought continuously for more than ten years, and its national strength was exhausted. The emperor and the advisory group were still constantly launching a battle with the Roman Empire Mesopotamia.

Whether Persia's population is 10 million is a problem. It is estimated that even nine million is difficult to guarantee. In addition, the eastern fugitives who fled to the Tang Dynasty, there are more killed eastern fugitives and their relatives. How many people can produce? How many people can join the army? How long can the Persian Empire maintain its regime?

These are all what Isham wanted to say but dare not say. Starting from the capital, he saw everything he heard along the way, and the more he went to the border area, the more he could hear the Tang army defending Persian refugees without hesitation, while the Persian army was killing Persian refugees. So why do we still have to be Persians? Let's just go to the Tang Dynasty together and live a good life...

Someone's distant relative was an escapee from the east and successfully fled to the Tang Dynasty. Then he asked the Tang Dynasty caravan to bring food and letters to these remaining relatives, telling them how good life is now. Such news continues to spread and spread, and the entire border area is in an uneasy atmosphere. In recent days, I have been hearing that there are runaways or failures in the east and the east and the fugitives hit the border.

When he arrived at the gate, Isham watched in shock as the border guards cut off the heads of hundreds of civilian bodies and burned the remaining bodies. Isham asked the Lord General why this was. The Lord General replied that these were all rebels, killing one and rewarding money and food.

When it reaches this point, what else can you expect? The people's hearts are lost. Once the Tang army attacks Persia, the Persian border defense will be useless. The border residents will definitely support the Tang army desperately and attack the Persian army. Several provinces on the border will be quickly lost. Then the Tang army will easily point directly to the capital. That is the path they have walked.

At this time, what he was going to face was the even more terrifying Shangshu Su, who was the terrifying General Du. He heard that before becoming Shangshu, he was a general, and led the army to win every battle, but he never lost. Although he was not sure why he became a civil servant, since he could be the Secretary of the Shangshu, that is, the core personnel of the Persian advisory group, he must be very powerful.

Persians can also know Suning's name through the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. For example, Suning's first food - Datang stir-frying. The wonderful taste makes people linger with the Tang Dynasty Weixianju almost dominate the Persian palace. The little emperor pointed out that the chief chef of Weixianju is his special chef, giving him a particularly generous salary and letting him cook for the royal family. The entire Persian upper class is glorious about eating Datang stir-frying. If you are a noble but no chef in your family can cook Datang, you will be very embarrassed.

Exquisite porcelain, noble brocade, snow-white paper, elegant brushes and calligraphy, beautiful poems, mysterious and elegant Chinese characters, terrifying and powerful artillery, Persia is almost about to be conquered by Eastern culture.

Can Persia really go to war with the Tang Dynasty? They can fight against the Persian border army with just 300 people with just 300 people. That is an army with relatively strong combat effectiveness. The border guards are not weak due to long-term combat, but when facing the border guards in the Tang army, it seems that the Persian army is like a piece of paper, which can penetrate it with one stab and has no ability to resist. The border guards of the Tang army are also army with excellent combat effectiveness. Over the years, the soldiers are extremely combat-effective.

Although the Persian Empire had been fighting for a long time, the imperial court and generals were corrupt and were always defeated veterans. They could not fight against veterans who had been winning the war and would definitely lose. Every time those Tang troops with a fierce aura saw Isam, Isham would feel trembling from the bottom of his heart.

But at this point, he could no longer look back. At this time, a violent shock was caused in the Persian court. A considerable number of officials expressed anger at the occurrence of this incident, believing that the Tang Dynasty was doing so blatantly provoking Persia as the dignity of the country, interfering with the problems of Persia itself, and trying to seize the population of Persia. In fact, it set up a place specifically for Persian traitors to live in the local area. Are those bastard traitors more important than their motherland?

Isham wanted to tell them that the reason you said this is because you have food to eat and don’t have to worry about being recruited for military service.

But he dared not say that if he said it, he would be listed as a public enemy of officials without hesitation, and his family's forces would not allow him to say that. Even if he was the clan leader of the family, his political attitude made his position of clan leader not so stable. The whole family did not like this guy who could not control the power of consultants to be the clan leader. If he said that, he would probably be immediately given up.

He brought his guards and entourage officials to the negotiation site. The Tang Dynasty patrol barracks within the ten-mile area were essentially the ten-mile territory given to the Tang Dynasty by Persia. Walking on these ten-mile territory always made Isham feel indescribable. When he saw Suning, this emotion was magnified. He finally met the legendary figures that the Tang people often talked about, from the poor family to the marquis of the country, Su Shangshu of Suning, who was the marquis of the country.

He was the negotiator of the Tang Dynasty. As the negotiator of the Persian side, they were enemies, and the death order had been issued to Isham at home. In any case, the interests and dignity of Persia must be guaranteed. It is absolutely impossible to do anything that would defame the national system. It is necessary to let the Tang Dynasty make an explanation on this matter and promise not to accept the appearance of the fugitives from the east, so that all the thirty or forty thousand traitors who have been accepted will come to the state for trial, etc.

Isham feels like he wants to cry. (The novel "Zhenguan Guide" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there are 100 lottery gifts for everyone!
