my wife is mulan

The eunuch immediately shouted: "I declare that the Persian envoy Yaztize has an audience!"

The envoys were still some distance away from the Zichen Palace. Taking advantage of the waiting time, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Has Honglu Temple figured out the purpose of the Persian envoy's visit this time?"

An official from Honglu Temple stood up and saluted: "Returning to Your Majesty, after several times of probing by the minister and others and buying people around the envoy to inquire, it is speculated that the purpose of the Persian envoy's visit this time should be to hope that His Majesty will order Kuhakhan to continue Lead the army to attack the disgusting people!"

This year, Dagan assembled 1 Rouran cavalry, 2 coalition troops from various countries in the Western Regions, and 15 cavalry troops in the Shule Kingdom of the Western Regions. For the Western Expedition, Zhao Junsheng ordered [-] Rouran herdsmen to drive cattle, sheep and horses, and use carts and horses to carry the pots and pans of the Qionglu camp to follow behind the army, to provide meat and food support for the army, and to provide bows and crossbows at the same time. and arrows.

This time the Western Expedition used the method of fighting to support the war, and the court only provided limited support, and everything was up to them.

This army, mainly composed of Rouran cavalry, supplemented by the coalition forces of the Western Regions and the Gan Army, entered Dawan after crossing the Tianshan Mountains in May, and then began to attack the territories and tribal gathering places of the Yanda Kingdom southwestward.

In just a few months, the Yanda people suffered heavy losses. In a battle, a 1 Yanda cavalry was led into a canyon by Kuhehan and wiped out.

In the west, the Persian Empire learned that the Yanda people were being attacked by the Dagan Empire, so they also sent troops to attack the Red Huns garrison controlled by the Yanda people. .

Under the attack from the east and the west, the tired people had to bring back the army that attacked Zhongtianzhu, so that they could barely maintain the situation.

Soon, the Persian envoy Yaztize followed the eunuch into the hall and saluted Zhao Junsheng.

"The envoy of the Sasanian Empire, Yaztize, has an audience with His Majesty Emperor Dagan, and sends his greetings to His Majesty, Queen and Concubine!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "Your Excellency Yaztize, what is your status in Persia?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I am the brother of the current King of Persia. I was named the Prince of Basra by the King of Persia, and I will be a financial officer in Tessiphon!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Okay, His Royal Highness, tell us why you are here!"

"So that His Majesty will know that I came here at the order of my king, and I hope to further ally with the Dagan Empire and make efforts to jointly fight against the nasty people!"

"I heard that the Yanda people first signed an alliance with the Dagan Empire, and after their envoys returned home, the Yanda people tore up the agreement and sent troops to attack the western border of your country. Of course, His Majesty also sent troops to make the Yanda people suffer. , but my king thinks that the current strike is not enough, and they should be driven out of Tochara!"

Chapter 1071

After listening to Yaztize's words, Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "What does your emperor think?"

Yaztize said: "Your Majesty, my king proposes that our country send [-] troops, and your country send another [-] troops to attack the Yanda people from both directions, so that they can focus on one thing and lose another. The Yanda people will not be able to resist. Then send people to incite the local Sogdians in Tocharian to rebel, under the internal and external troubles, the people who hate them will definitely die, so that the business channel will be opened up, which will be of great benefit to our two countries!"

"Not only that, but when the Zanda people are eliminated, the eastern part of our Sassanid Empire will no longer be threatened, and the western part of your country will also no longer be threatened!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Can the Sassanid Empire send [-] troops to attack the Bosses? Do you care about the Eastern Roman Empire in the west? As far as I know, the Roman Empire has always been the old enemy of Persia. If your country sends [-] troops to attack I hate you, I'm afraid you don't have enough troops to defend against the Eastern Roman Empire, right?"

Yaztize smiled and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor may not know that Attila, the common enemy of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires on the northern grasslands, suddenly died suddenly in the first half of this year. The sons fought each other for the throne, and civil strife broke out in the Hun Empire. Now the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Roman Empire are planning how to disintegrate the Hun Empire. They have no time to deal with us Persia, so now it is the best time for Persia and the Dagan Empire to deal with the disgusting people. opportunity!"

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "Is Attila the Hun King dead?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"How did you die?"

"I heard that he died suddenly. The specific cause of death is unknown. There are rumors that he was poisoned to death, others that he was murdered, and others that he died under the curse of a Germanic barbarian wizard. There is no authority. According to the statement, the Hun Empire has not given any news in this regard!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Yaztize: "Your Highness, I am very moved by your country's proposal, but you know this is a big matter, and I need to discuss it with my ministers! Your Highness and the diplomatic mission An Xin stayed at the embassy, ​​and after the Lantern Festival, I will send someone to discuss this matter with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Yaztize didn't expect to reach a consensus with Qian Guo soon. If he wanted Qian Guo to send troops, he still needed to make more efforts, "Okay, Your Majesty! Yaztize is waiting for you Proclamation!"

"Come here, send His Highness Yaztize back to the embassy!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's arrangement, an eunuch took several Habayashi soldiers to send Yaztize away.

Zhao Junsheng asked all the ministers: "Masters, what do you think of this matter?"

Liang Ji stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with this matter!"

"Tell me what you think!"

"No!" Liang Ji saluted, and continued: "Your Majesty, I heard that Persia and Tochara are neighbors. Tocharo, the army is going to start from Chang'an. The entire journey is thousands of miles away. No matter how many troops are dispatched, the loss of food, fodder and luggage is too great. It is not just a matter of loss. How much manpower and material resources will be used? I can't stand it!"

"Besides, this Persian man with a big beard said he wanted our country to send [-] troops. He really dared to speak up. In the past few years, I have been fighting abroad for many years, not to mention how many soldiers were killed and injured. After several battles, the treasury It is already empty, without a few years of self-cultivation, the national treasury will not be able to fill it up, if we send troops again, the national treasury will have no money to use for military expenses!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Pei Jin: "Pei Xiang, what do you think?"

Pei Jin thought for a while and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the road should be walked step by step, and the meal should be eaten bite by bite. If you eat too fast, you will easily choke, if you run too fast, you will fall!"

"Previously, His Majesty had already made a strategy. First go north and then go south, that is, attack the Rouran people first, and completely solve the problem of the northern border. Last year, the Rouran people were defeated by us. This year, His Majesty sent troops to take down Bashu and the Southern Dynasties. In the Jingxiang area, according to His Majesty's established strategy, our court should continue to work hard to accumulate strength, strive to defeat the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible, and complete the great cause of unifying the world. As for the annoying people, it is just an episode in the middle of this strategy. The rest of the troops and 15 Rouran herdsmen went to conquer, and I think this is enough! At present, the strategic focus of our dynasty should be on the capture of the Southern Dynasty, and we should not be too distracted!"

Zhao Junsheng looked thoughtfully at Dongfang Chen and asked, "Master, what do you think?"

Dongfang Chen stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I agree with Pei Xiang's proposition! It is not surprising that the Persian envoy came here. Whether it is the Sogdians in Tocharian or the Persians, they are used to doing business and are good at fooling people. This Yaztize lied to His Majesty that both sides would send 10 troops each, but I dare say that they will never send [-] troops. The purpose of the Persian people is to fool us into sending [-] troops. Even if they send troops, they will send so many troops. [-], when we are inseparable from the main army of the Yanda people, they will send troops to take advantage of it, and they can easily control Tochara, so I will work hard to make wedding dresses for others?"

"Your Majesty, don't look at these Persians who look honest, they are actually very cunning. Since they are good at doing business, they must not be honest people. I think it's better to be cautious in this matter!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and said, "Let's put this matter on hold for now and discuss it after the Lantern Festival! Which country's envoy will be next? Let him go to the palace!"

The eunuch immediately shouted loudly, Yu Zijun, an envoy of the Song Dynasty from Xuannan Dynasty, came to see him.

Yu Zijun was led into the main hall by the eunuch, and immediately greeted Zhao Junsheng according to relevant requirements.

"Yu Zijun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, has seen His Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Yu Zijun, what do you want to say when you come to see me today?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, at the end of April this year, your country blatantly violated the peace agreement and invaded our country by taking advantage of the severe drought in Bashu, the lack of harvest, and the displacement of the people. Yu, on behalf of the Song Dynasty, lodged a solemn protest to His Majesty and the court of your country. I hope that your country will Immediately send Shi Chen to Jiankang to apologize to the emperor of Song Dynasty and the princes of the court, to compensate for the loss of our country, and to order the garrisons stationed in the Bashu and Jingxiang areas to return the land that invaded our country!"

As Yu Zijun's voice fell, the hall became completely silent, and needles could be heard.

Zhao Junsheng immediately laughed: "Hahaha"

Yu Zijun asked with a dark face: "Why is your majesty laughing? Don't you think your majesty is not ashamed, but proud?"

Zhao Junsheng asked back: "The envoy has never heard of someone vomiting out the fat that has been eaten in the stomach?"

To be reasonable, Yu Zijun is not afraid, and he still has reason, he immediately said: "Yu heard that the emperors and ministers of the Qian Kingdom and tens of millions of people also think that they are orthodox in the world, and they think they are the best of etiquette. State, but why use the method of robbing and usurping our country by blatantly violating the peace treaty? Yu also heard that "

This Yu Zijun talked a lot eloquently, explaining the truth, telling the facts, citing scriptures, and concealing sarcasm and sarcasm.

Zhao Junsheng cursed in his heart, what? This Yu Zijun opened his mouth really powerfully. He glanced at all the ministers, hoping that someone would stand up and refute Yu Zijun, not to mention defeating Yu Zijun, but at least make the people of the world think that Qianguo is a teacher. famous.

At this time, an official stood up and said: "Duke Yu's words are wrong. I sent troops to the court because of the locust plague in Bashu. After a month after the locust plague passed, I didn't see your court provide disaster relief. The people of Bashu starved to death." There are countless people, and there are still 10,000+ people pouring into our Dagan territory. If our army does not send troops to Bashu, I am afraid that countless people will die of famine, or be suppressed by those inaction officials in your country. Since your court If there is no way of benevolence, why should our country send troops to save the people of Bashu and rescue them from the fire and water?"

Zhao Junsheng patted the case, laughed and said, "Well said!"

Yu Zijun said coldly: "Hmph, it's just arrogance. No matter how much you argue, you can't get rid of the fact that you have broken your promise and occupied our territory. Your country's shameless actions will be reviled and ridiculed by the people of the world, and your court will also lose. People's hearts!"

The official retorted: "This is just your wishful thinking. My Dagan people now live and work in peace and contentment, live a good life, and their families are prosperous. The people support your majesty and the court like never before! On the other hand, in your court, the emperor is cruel. The ministers and officials They deceived the top and the bottom, oppressed and searched the people wantonly, made people everywhere miserable, and rose up one after another. Liu Song should have perished a long time ago. Save the people and let them live a happy and healthy life!"
