Aisha said seriously: "What Aisha wants to ask Your Highness is, is the Shenwei artillery as invincible as the rumors say?"

Originally, Aisha didn't want to ask this question. After all, Li Chengqian destroyed Tubo and returned from Tuyuhun not long ago. She didn't know whether the Shenwei Army was considered a military secret to Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian didn't have the slightest emotion on his face, and he wasn't surprised or tabooed by Aisha's question.

After all, which country has planted a few eyeliners in other countries, and Li Chengqian had no intention of concealing the existence of the Shenwei Army and Shenwei Cannon.

He picked up the tea on the table, poured two glasses of water, and pushed them in front of Wu Jue and Aisha respectively. Then he picked up one cup himself, took a sip, and didn't look up, "What you want to ask is the divine power under Ben Gong's command. Army."

Aisha was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect that Li Chengqian didn't have much reaction to this matter.

"Yes, it's about the Shenwei Army."

Before the Domi Pass, the Shenwei army blasted Songtsen Gampo's 20 troops to nothing within half an hour without spending a single soldier.

After this matter spread to the Persian high-level, no one could believe it. After all, this was something that even the gods could not do.

But Li Chengqian surrendered Tuyuhun and conquered Tubo, which is a real matter.

Li Chengqian looked at her and asked back: "Do you think what you heard about the Shenwei Army is true or not?"

"This..." Aisha was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

This matter was very entangled in her heart. She believed it, but she couldn't believe it.

If it is true as rumored, Persia can borrow Datang's strength, but it is not so easy to get out.

The weapon of Shenwei artillery not only has great power, but the most important thing is that it can shock people's hearts.

Li Chengqian looked at the tangled Aisha, and said with a light smile, "The strength of the Shenwei army may be stronger than what you have heard, and the power of the Shenwei artillery may be greater than what you have heard."

Li Chengqian was outspoken and did not hide anything, and he had nothing to hide about this matter.

He continued: "Why? Is this beyond your imagination. "

After hearing this, Aisha frowned, and said falteringly: "No...no..."

She is the head of the Gale Knights, and she has fought many battles, big and small, and she knows everything about the battlefield.

At this time, Aisha was imagining the picture of the Shenwei artillery bombing the Tubo camp, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't imagine such a picture.

Li Chengqian looked at Aisha's expression and chased after the victory: "Princess Aisha, what is your bottom line in Persia? The sooner you tell me, the better it will be for you Persia."

Li Chengqian is forcing Aisha's psychological defense step by step.

Today, Aisha and Li Chengqian are not just having a dinner, but more of a psychological game.

What she wanted to know, Li Chengqian let her understand thoroughly, which shocked her by the overall strength of Datang.

In fact, before Aisha came to Datang, Queen Bran already had a general understanding of Datang, whether it was agriculture or business, whether it was politics or military affairs.

It's just that there are some things they don't want to believe.

For example, the true power of the Shenwei artillery, the people of the Tang Dynasty have solved the most basic food and clothing problems, or the Tang Dynasty has truly realized that everyone has land to cultivate and everyone has land to cultivate.

Either one is something that other countries want to do but cannot do.

Families in the West and powerful families in the East, most of these are the bane that hinders the development of the country and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Aisha raised her head, looked at Li Chengqian, and said seriously: "Your Highness, Aisha dares to ask you, what is your goal in this life?"

Li Chengqian replied lightly: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers."

As soon as these words came out, Aisha felt her head buzzing.

Such ambitious and bold words are so insignificant in Li Chengqian's mouth, but they are very convincing.

Li Chengqian always does shocking things so casually.

Li Chengqian continued: "You can look at the fate of Turkic and Fusang, you can look at what happened to Goguryeo and Tubo, and you can also look at the current situation of Tuyuhun. Although Ben Gong has iron-blooded wrists and ruthless political means, it is by no means an unreasonable one." bloodthirsty man."

"As long as Queen Bran doesn't just want to use my Tang military strength to fight for Persia, then we can talk about it."

Elsa was silent for a while.

Now it seems that it is not Bruno and Li Shimin who finalize the diplomatic matters, but Aisha and Li Chengqian.

She was trying to analyze the pros and cons of it.

If Persia relies on the military power of the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the domestic situation, it is self-evident what Persia will face once it turns against each other.

According to Li Chengqian's consistent style, what Persia will face will be a devastating military blow.

As long as it is an army that is at war with Datang, there have never been any prisoners.

Under the cover of dense artillery fire, not to mention the prisoners, it is estimated that even the complete corpses could not be found, not to mention that Li Chengqian never cared about the lives of the enemy soldiers.

In Li Chengqian's eyes, humanitarianism and national image are not as important as the lives of his soldiers.

Aisha said slowly: "Your Highness, if Persia is in danger one day, what kind of conditions do you need before you are willing to send troops to assist Persia?"

She knew in her heart that even if she married Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian would not offend the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty for her sake.

Li Chengqian was not angry when Aisha didn't answer his question. After all, this is a matter of life and death for Sassan Persia. Aisha should be cautious everywhere, which is reasonable.

Not every country is as confident as Li Chengqian when encountering problems.

Chapter 479

The Palace needs Queen Bran to provide Datang with a piece of territory in the Persian Empire for Datang to establish a military base. In return, the Palace can keep Persia internally stable and Persia externally comprehensive. "

"When the Palace decides to sweep the Western Continent, if Queen Bran sincerely surrenders, the Palace can continue to allow Queen Bran to be the ruler of the Persian Empire and participate in the management of the Persian Empire."

Li Chengqian's words were very straightforward, without going around.

If other people said this, it is estimated that Aisha would face swords.

However, she was not surprised when Li Chengqian said this, because she knew that Li Chengqian had this ability.

Has the ability to sweep across the western continent.

Aisha thought that Li Chengqian would put forward various conditions, but she never thought that Li Chengqian would want to directly establish a military base in the western mainland.

As the head of the Knights, Aisha certainly understands the significance of this military base. This will be a springboard for Li Chengqian to attack Western countries in the future, a very meaningful springboard.

Li Chengqian can even develop the Shenwei artillery, who knows what kind of weird weapons he will develop.

And once his military base is established, and the military base is defended with Shenwei artillery, no one can pull it out.

Datang has annexed all the land of Western Turks, and has become a real neighbor with Sasan Persia.

If Datang establishes this military base on Persian territory, it will be permanent.

"This... this matter is very involved, Aisha can't make the decision alone..."

Aisha replied falteringly.

Every move of Li Chengqian's chess is big, far away, beyond Aisha's imagination, and she is terrified.

Today's Tang Dynasty is not as simple as it seems on the surface, just a Li Chengqian is scary.

You can never keep up with his train of thought, can not control his rhythm.

Perhaps one day when you understand what he is thinking, his army has already reached the capital of your family.

"It doesn't matter..." Li Chengqian replied lightly, "This kind of thing has never been successfully negotiated, and this palace is not in a hurry. In recent years, Datang has conquered too much land. Years of good development and development.”

Li Chengqian spoke clearly, but Aisha knew in her heart that Datang could afford to wait, but Persia really couldn't afford to wait.

"Your Highness, Aisha will take her leave first, and leave for Persia tomorrow, and give His Highness a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

Aisha stood up and saluted Li Chengqian.

She knew that Li Chengqian's ability to tell her so much today was enough to give her face.

Although Aisha really wanted to marry Li Chengqian, she had to think of a way out for Persia before that.

Li Chengqian replied, "Okay, the palace is waiting for good news from Princess Aisha."

moment……

Aisha rushed out of the Zuixian Tower in a hurry, and went straight to the post house to find Bruno.

"Wu Jue, what do you think of Aisha?"

Li Chengqian turned to Wu Sui who was sitting aside and listening.

"Ah..." Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Returning to Your Highness, judging from Princess Aisha's reaction just now, she is indeed a heroine who cares about the country."

“How come you see?”

"Her eyes, when she mentioned Persia's internal and external troubles and dangers, her eyes were full of worry. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she still showed it involuntarily."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Tomorrow, you can find some Persian-speaking gentlemen to learn Persian, learn about Persian customs and people's living habits by the way, and plan to go to Persia to establish a branch of Qinghuo Commercial Bank."

Wu Jue looked puzzled, "Your Highness, are you so sure that Queen Bran will agree to your terms?"

Li Chengqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, said lightly: "They have no choice, the only one who can save Persia is Bengong."

Wu Jue nodded and responded, "Okay, tomorrow I will start planning to open a Qinghuo firm in Persia."

In this era, not only the Tang Dynasty, but every country has a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. Not to mention allowing foreign business firms to settle in, even the country's business is suppressed by the government to develop slowly.

If Queen Bran agrees to Li Chengqian's conditions, then Li Chengqian's export to the west will not only be military, but also commercial.

The next morning.

Bruno bid farewell to Li Shimin, and rushed back to Persia with Aisha.

Originally, he thought that Aisha would stay in Datang, but he didn't expect to return home.

But it's no wonder, after all, what Li Chengqian said was a big deal to Persia.

Tai Chi Palace...

back yard……

Li Shimin changed into a coarse cloth and was planting trees in the back garden. His body was covered with mud and his forehead was covered with sweat.

The surrounding princes, those holding handkerchiefs, those who handed hoes, those who carried water, were very busy.

"Your Majesty, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. You've been working here all morning. Let's go to the gazebo to rest. The empress has sent someone to bring pastries and herbal tea."

Chen Lin stood aside and yelled.

In the past two days, Li Shimin somehow fell in love with doing farm work, either planting trees or plowing land.

"Your Majesty, just rest for a while. You see, my old Cheng's skin is tanned. Then look at this black charcoal head. If it is night, I guess you can only see his teeth."

Cheng Yaojin couldn't contain his excitement when he heard that there was food and drink.

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, everyone almost spit out.

Yu Chigong threw the bucket in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Fatty Cheng, I think you really can't spit ivory out of your mouth, if you want to eat the cakes sent by the empress, just say it, why do you involve me. "

"I see you want me to relax your muscles again."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Look, I'm doing it for you, right? Tell yourself, is your skin getting darker and darker, and at night, no one can see it."

Not to be outdone, Yu Chigong said: "I'm black and I'm healthy. Look at your fat body. You should take a good sun exposure. Your Majesty, let's go and rest. Let Fatty Cheng do it by himself. Look at his body." Meat, it's time to exercise."

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Heitantou, don't bully people too much..."

"Okay, okay..." Li Shimin put the hoe aside and patted the ashes on his body, "Look at the two of you, as the Duke of the Tang Dynasty and an important minister in the court, it's not because of this every day, Because of that quarrel, I think you two should be driven out of Chang'an City and go to guard the frontier."

"Don't, don't, Your Majesty..." Yu Chigong hurriedly explained: "This time, it's really not about the general, it's all because Fatty Cheng is deliberately provoking trouble."

Cheng Yaojin echoed, "Your Majesty, don't get angry, I'm just playing with Heitantou, don't take it seriously."

Li Shimin waved his hand, "That's all, that's all... The weather is really hot, let's go to the gazebo to have a rest."

Chapter 480 The Problem of Redundant Soldiers

In the gazebo...

All the princes of the state sat on both sides of Li Shimin.

The maid shared the cakes and herbal tea sent by Empress Changsun to Li Shimin and the other princes.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was not such a big custom between the monarch and his ministers.

It is relatively rare that the emperor sits, Wenwu stands, the emperor eats, and Wenwu watches.
