King Jieri stationed 40 troops in Niboluo to deter Tang Dynasty from sending troops to aid Persia.
But what Li Chengqian wanted was to come out from the southern border and destroy the Jieri Kingdom. Judging from his wrist, Alona lost Li Chengqian by the way.
"Okay!" Li Shimin was very happy, "You are worthy of being my son, but he has a lot of morale, and he is only a day away. Er Er Alonashun, relying on his 40 local chickens and dogs, he wants to threaten me and the Tang Dynasty. He thought it was beautiful."
"If you don't teach Alona a bloody lesson, he won't know how powerful my Great Tang cavalry is..."
……
at the same time.
Aisha and Bruno have returned to the post house.
"Princess Aisha, your performance today is a bit too impatient, which is not conducive to the negotiation between us and Datang..."
As soon as he entered the door, Bruno couldn't wait to point out Aisha's shortcomings today.
In fact, without Bruno saying it, Aisha has already realized this problem.
Aisha faltered in her explanation, "I... I'm really impatient. I thought that speaking straight to the point would win His Majesty Li Shimin's favor."
Bruno shook his head helplessly, "One is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the other is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. They represent not themselves, but the interests of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. How could they easily let go of the benefits they got because of your sincerity. "
"It's the same for us in Persia. This is the political interests of the two countries, not a simple friendship between the two."
"However, no matter how you say it, it won't have much impact on the final result."
Aisha frowned slightly, wondering: "Why?"
Bruno responded: "When we first went to Datang, the situation in Persia was not as bad as it is now. Jieri, Dashi and the Byzantine Empire have not declared an alliance, and the conditions proposed by Datang at that time will naturally be more relaxed. "
"But what situation are we facing now?"
"The flanking attack of the three empires is not counted, and the internal struggle in Persia is extremely chaotic. The lords have different ideas. Those who want to separate themselves and become emperors, those who want to surrender to the enemy, and those who want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, are the only ones who fight against the enemy wholeheartedly with Queen Bulan. Lords are few and far between."
"Didn't you hear what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said about the 40 soldiers of the Jieri Kingdom stationed in the territory of Nibera? That means that it is now very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to send troops. To raise the price."
"This..." Aisha was speechless, if she were to lead an army to fight, she would be good at it.
But in the field of politics and diplomacy, Aisha is really a child.
Aisha clenched her fists unconsciously, and said anxiously: "Mr. Bruno, where do you think Datang's bottom line is, or what bargaining chip we give before they are willing to send troops to help us."
"What kind of bargaining chip?" Bruno smiled wryly, "Queen Bulan should have given you this answer a long time ago."
"Give it to me?" Aisha's eyes widened in disbelief.
Bruno poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly: "Before leaving, didn't Queen Breen give you a letter? There should be the answer you want."
The matter has come to this point, and Bruno has no good solution. The situation in Persia is still there. At this time, there is really no other country in the world except Datang that can save Persia.
"Letter!"
Aisha suddenly realized, and hurriedly took out the letter from Queen Bulan from her underwear.
If Bruno hadn't reminded her, she would have really forgotten about it.
Before leaving, Queen Bulan told her to open it when troubles continued, but not to open it easily, because it was related to the life and death of Persia.
However, Bruno and Aisha now have no other choice.
The only thing that can be relied on is this letter left by Queen Bulan.
Tear!
Aisha tore open the letter, and there was still a faint fragrance on the letter.
A line of large characters suddenly appeared on the paper, and Aisha recognized the font, which was indeed written by her queen, Queen Breen.
"Surrender is acceptable, but subjugation is not acceptable!"
A short line of words pierced Aisha's heart like a thorn, with a sad face, like a thorn in her throat.
Surrender is acceptable, this is such a heavy sentence for the king of a country.
Not accepting national subjugation is the last stubbornness of a country.
These two sentences seem to be contradictory, but they actually contain too much bitterness and helplessness.
Aisha couldn't understand how much courage it took for Queen Breen to write this sentence.
If it is not impossible, who is willing to put the fate of their country in other hands.
pat...
A drop of tear ran down Aisha's cheek and dripped onto the letter in her hand. The teardrop rolled onto the ink stain and smudged.
At this time, Aisha felt helpless, why Persia's fate was so ill-fated.
They didn't even have the room to fight back.
"Hey..." Bruno stood up, patted Aisha on the shoulder, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, you don't have to be sad. This may be the best result for Persia."
"You don't understand the Great Food Empire and the Byzantine Empire. Even if we surrender to them, will we get a good end? They are a bunch of damn robbers."
"The rapid rise of the Great Food Empire is to gather the robbers in the desert together. For my subjects in the Persian border area, they are demons and nightmares."
"They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. They just wanted money, and they wanted to rob my Persian woman."
"And you look at the Tubo, Gaochang, Tuyuhun and Goguryeo who surrendered to the Great Tang. Although they were forced to merge into the Great Tang, they really gained the benefits of the Great Tang."
"Although they will be completely Sinicized within a few generations, at least the people's lives will be guaranteed. His Majesty Li Shimin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not treat subjects incorporated into the Tang Dynasty like animals."
"In the West, common people and soldiers will eventually become tools for the interests of politicians. It is precisely because Queen Bulan has seen through this point that she chooses to surrender to Datang."
What Bruno said was heart-wrenching, but he was indeed a sensible person, and he analyzed the situation thoroughly.
Chapter 520 The Compromise of the Blue Queen
Aisha looked at Bruno in confusion, and said sadly: "We are also Westerners, why do they treat us like this?"
"Both Westerners?" Bruno shook his head helplessly, "That's just the wishful thinking of the loser. For the winner, there are only masters and slaves."
In this political game, Aisha is obviously a little white rabbit.
Heroes are worthless in the face of power.
Immediately afterwards, Bruno's eyes flickered, looked at Aisha, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Aisha, do you know why the Great Food Empire hates my Persian Empire so much?"
He looked at Aisha, whose mentality was a little broken, and decided to make another big news for her, fighting fire with fire.
"Why?" Aisha raised her head and looked at him blankly.
"That's because Umar, the general of the Great Food Empire, once proposed to Queen Bulan to marry Princess Aisha. After being rejected by Queen Bulan, Umar became furious and formed an alliance with the Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of the Sun to attack Sassanid together. Persia."
Needless to say, the relationship between Sasanian Persia and Byzantium is a feud, and the war between the two countries has been fought for many years.
It is also because of a protracted contest between the two great empires of Byzantium and Persia, which have exhausted each other.
This gave Umar a chance, and with his strategic vision, like a tiger going down a mountain, the Great Food Empire rose rapidly.
"It turned out to be because of me..."
Aisha stood there in a daze, unable to believe that she had become the fuse of Persia's peril.
Bruno continued: "Umar is a war lunatic. In order to recruit the army, he even lifted the ban and let the rebellious tribes participate in the war as an excuse."
"With this method, he instantly pulled out 10,000+ troops and sent them to "Sword of Allah" Hadley. What are they doing? "
"It's not for money and women, this is the bad nature of the food empire."
Bruno's words became more and more straightforward as he spoke, touching human nature.
"Damn the Great Food Empire, damn Umar..."
Aisha clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were tearing apart, and she was burning with anger.
She could not accept that the Persian subjects became the lambs of the Great Food Empire.
But now, apart from relying on Datang, Aisha really can't think of any way.
Back in Persia these days, Aisha was exhausted in Persia, destroying the rebels everywhere.
The peril of Sasanian Persia is a race against time.
Bruno said quietly: "Princess Aisha, now the only one who can help us restore stability in Persia is Li Chengqian, the current prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"He's a man who can perform miracles."
"Alas..." Aisha sighed for a long time, and now, she can only pin her hopes on Li Chengqian.
The next morning.
As soon as Li Shimin got up, Aisha couldn't wait to come to see him.
Anyway, Queen Bulan has decided to join Datang, so Aisha has nothing to worry about.
"Princess Aisha, why did you come to see me in such a hurry today?"
Li Shimin met Aisha during the meal.
By the way, treat her to breakfast.
With them is Li Chengqian.
The matter of Datang's aid to Persia has been tacitly understood by the three of them.
Aisha said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Persia is in peril, so Aisha said it straight. Queen Bulan agreed to merge into the Tang Dynasty, but only if the queen's political status is guaranteed. We accept surrender, but we do not accept subjugation."
The words fall...
Li Shimin paused for a while while holding the spoon in mid-air, and then put it into his mouth again.
Her words were more straightforward than they expected.
It seems that there is no need to mention his conditions. Queen Breen has already thought about the retreat of Persia.
But Aisha took the initiative to say the bottom line, which really made Li Shimin feel like he was taking advantage of the fire.
"Is this the original words of Queen Bulan?" Li Shimin murmured without looking up, looking down at the porridge bowl.
"These are indeed the words of Queen Breen."
Aisha said, and took out the letter from Queen Breen.
Chen Lin received it and handed it over to Li Shimin.
"Surrender is acceptable, but subjugation is not acceptable."
A simple sentence, nothing else.
Li Shimin sighed, Queen Bulan is really a character, after all, not everyone has the courage to make such a decision.
He didn't speak after reading it, and handed over the letter to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at the letter in a calm mood, without the arrogance of a victor, nor was he delighted by Queen Bulan's surrender.
After all, there is no definite date until the last moment.
Li Chengqian put down the spoon, and said calmly: "Princess Aisha, don't worry, Datang has 20 soldiers in the western border. They will rush back to Persia with Princess Aisha to jointly resist the invasion of the Dashi Empire and the Byzantine Empire."
As early as Aisha's last mission to the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian had already started preparing for the Western Expedition, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Aisha looked at Li Chengqian, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, have you been prepared?"
"Just plan ahead." Li Chengqian looked at her and smiled, "Princess Aisha, you should know that this palace never fights uncertain battles."
Aisha then asked: "Isn't His Royal Highness planning to follow me to Persia?"
"In your eyes, isn't it worth His Highness the Crown Prince's hand to join forces between the Great Food Empire and the Byzantine Empire?"
For Li Chengqian, Aisha was very confused.
She really couldn't see through Li Chengqian, but he had a kind of self-confidence that came from his bones.
Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Of course I am interested in the Great Food Empire and the Byzantine Empire, but before that, I have to deal with an annoying fly."
"Flies?" Aisha was puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "His Royal Highness, you want to attack the Jieri Kingdom!"
Although she couldn't believe it, Li Chengqian did have the guts.
Li Chengqian smiled lightly: "What? Is Princess Aisha also interested?"
Aisha also hated the Ringday Kingdom.
Persia has never had anything to do with Jieri, but Alonasun insisted on adding insult to injury and reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Dashi Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
