Chapter 667 Persian Messenger

Chapter 663

Sitting there, Wei Hao heard Lu Dongzan say that he hoped to write a letter to their Songtsan Gampo to make Tubo surrender and merge into the Tang Dynasty. When Wei Hao heard it, he sat there thinking about it. pros and cons of things.

"Xia Guogong, you are a good man. If you fight a war, you will die. At that time, whether it is the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty or the people of our Tubo, there will be a lot of casualties. We Tubo can't beat the Tang Dynasty.

But if Songtsan Gampo did not let go, I believe that the people in Tubo would fight to the end, and they would never give up resistance easily! "Lu Dongzan sat there, looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Threatening us?" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Xia Guogong, we are really not threatening you. The strength of Tubo and Tuyuhun is indeed not as good as that of Tang Dynasty, but the folk customs are tough. If you kill them like this, I believe the people in these two places will not be convinced!" Dong Zan sat there, looking at Wei Hao and talking, he hoped to be able to persuade Wei Hao.

"Tubo must fight, let you Tubo people know that Datang cannot be provoked, and the same is true for Tuyuhun, but it is also possible to write letters to make them surrender, but you still need to annihilate your main force. Otherwise, do you still think that our Datang can't beat you?

Besides, Lu Dongzan, you have lived in Datang for so long, you know the strength of Datang, but you other people in Tubo, will they believe that Datang can destroy them at this time?

I believe that your Tubo side is also preparing now. When will you wipe out Datang's army? Relying on the terrain of Tubo, you think that you can wipe out Datang's army. Now they will not surrender, but you Now you can write a letter. After I finish writing, I will send someone to the front and hand it over to Songtsan Gampo in Tibet. Maybe he can consider it.
However, the time has to be fast, don't wait until our Tang army is about to destroy you before you think about surrendering, that won't work! " Wei Hao smiled, looked at Lu Dongzan and said.

"This!" Lu Dongzan stared at Wei Hao at the moment. He also thought about the possibility that Wei Hao said, that is, Tubo did not agree to surrender and continued to fight, but if the fight continued, Tubo would really be over.

"Let's write, here is the paper, pen and ink. Get some for yourself, and I'll give it to my father when I'm done, and then I'll send it to the frontline troops. Whether it can be done or not depends on them!" Wei Hao sat there, facing Lu Dongzan said,
Lu Dongzan thought about it for a while, and still wanted to write. This is the last chance. Soon, Lu Dongzan finished writing and handed the letter to Wei Hao. Wei Hao picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was not bad. , very sincere, no tricks.

"I will give this letter to my father, sit down and talk!" Wei Hao put away the papers with a smile, and then said to Lu Dongzan.

"Thank you Xia Guogong!" Lu Dongzan said immediately, clasping his hands.

"How many times have you dealt with me?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile and asked.

"Everyone is their own master, please forgive me!" Lu Dongzan clasped his hands as soon as Wei Hao said this.

"Understanding is understandable, but the means are not very good. You have sent people to spread rumors several times, hoping that the father will get rid of me. You are not small!" Wei Hao sat there, looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile and said, Lu Dongzan said, Dongzan didn't explain either.

"Originally, according to the plan, there will be no such quick attack on Tubo. After all, Tubo is also a barrier in the northwest. If the Tang army wants to attack Tubo, it is because the territory of the Tang Dynasty needs to expand to the northwest, but Unexpectedly, you took the initiative to send it up, giving Datang a chance to attack Tubo, so we will not be polite!" Wei Hao continued to pour tea for Lu Dongzan with a smile.

"You, what do you mean?" Lu Dongzan looked at Wei Hao in surprise.

"Datang is not yet ready to attack the Northwest. It's not about material preparations, it's about mental preparations. But last time you spread rumors that I leaked the news to Baekje and Silla, and you and Changsun Wuji incited all the officials. What are you saying that you should not attack those vassal states? After your instigation, the officials have now accepted that the Tang Dynasty wants to attack Tubo.
If it weren't for your instigation, I guess the officials would not agree now, so you guys have done a good thing in this matter, right?
In addition, because of your rumors, my father was very angry, and of course, I was also very angry, so I can only kill you in advance to save trouble. Therefore, Datang's army is going to attack this year. Originally, according to the plan, No matter what, it will take three years! "Wei Hao sat there, looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile and said,
Lu Dongzan sat there dumbfounded at the moment.

"Okay, is there anything else? This is it?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile, picked up the letter paper on the table, and asked Lu Dongzan.

"Yes, that's the matter, but I still hope that Xia Guogong can help to avoid the loss of life!" Lu Dongzan stood up and said to Wei Hao.

"You still worry about this? Are you afraid that after Tubo is wiped out, you will be a lonely ghost?" Wei Hao looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile and said,
Lu Dongzan heard it, but said nothing.
Wei Hao left the cell very quickly, and Lu Dongzan was also taken away. Wei Hao left the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and went straight to the palace. He handed over the letter written by Lu Dongzan to Li Shimin, and the rest I don't want to worry about the matter, but returned to the mansion,
I don't want to worry about the war anymore. There is nothing to worry about. There are so many outstanding generals in Datang, so I have nothing to do with myself. Wei Hao is at home, so he still has nothing to do to go fishing.

In a flash, it will be spring. Wei Hao's farmland has also begun to sow sweet potatoes, cotton and new rice seeds. This year, Wei Hao's farmland will all be planted with this,

On the front line, good news came from time to time. The army of Datang had already fought against the army of Tubo and Tuyuhun. The armies of these two countries were no match for the army of Datang. , none of them could stop the day, they were all entered by the Tubo army of the Tang Dynasty, and they killed countless enemies. A large number of Tubo and Tuyuhun troops were killed.
But their army still has no intention of surrendering, and they still have to continue fighting. Not only that, but the Tang army fought and found the army of the Jieri Dynasty and the Persian army. The army invited by Qian will be dealt with like Datang's army,
In this battle, Datang's casualties were still not large, but the harvest was very heavy.
Soon, it will be June. At this moment, Datang's army is almost on the verge of destroying Tuyuhun.
On the other side of Tubo, half of the land is said to be controlled by the army of the Tang Dynasty. The people of these two countries were all driven to the Tang Dynasty by the army of the Tang Dynasty, and they were placed in a fixed area and distributed to them. Fields, anyway, they cannot live on the original land,

Those lands need the people of Tang Dynasty to move there, and now the Ministry of Civil Affairs is already making preparations, starting to register the people who are willing to move to these places.The conditions are very good, and the Ministry of Industry also plans to build straight roads in these two places, so as to ensure that Datang will control these places in the future.

At noon that day, Wei Hao was fishing by the Wei River, when an eunuch in the palace found the river.

"Xia Guogong, Xia Guogong, hurry up, the emperor is looking for you!" The eunuch came to Wei Hao's side and shouted anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Wei Hao asked immediately after hearing his anxious tone.

"It's an envoy from Persia, and a princess who said she wanted to negotiate peace with Datang!" the eunuch said to Wei Hao.

"Peace talks are peace talks. I don't understand Persian either!" Wei Hao looked at the eunuch and said.

"The emperor asked you to go there, and now they have people from Honglu Temple to receive them. Anyway, you can find out when you go there, and the emperor has been angry recently, saying that you only know how to fish and don't care about anything!" the eunuch said Wei Hao spoke up.

"Why didn't I take care of things? My Luoyang side is very good!" Wei Hao stood up depressed. He hadn't been to the palace for a while, and now Li Shimin has no time to fish, because there is news almost every day from the front line. Come here, so he wants to discuss military matters with those in the Ministry of War, but this has nothing to do with him.

Soon, Wei Hao arrived at Chengtian Palace. Li Shimin was receiving the Persian envoy at Chengtian Palace, and Wei Hao went in directly.

"I have seen my father!" Wei Hao went over and said with cupped hands.

"Well, Shen Yong, this is Princess Kawad of Persia, and the other two are their Persian ministers!" Li Shimin sat there and said to Wei Hao.

"I've seen Her Majesty the Princess!" Wei Hao said immediately, and there was an interpreter beside him. The interpreter told Princess Kawad, and Princess Kawad immediately nodded to Wei Hao.

Wei Hao didn't understand what was going on in Sassanid Persia now, and why he sent envoys here. Moreover, Wei Hao was completely unfamiliar with Sasanian Persia. After all, there was no intersection between Datang and Persia before. However, many countries are separated, and the two countries have commercial contacts, but there are no official contacts!

"Shen Yong, they came here in the hope that our Tang Dynasty would send troops. What kind of Rome are they fighting with? They hope to borrow 1 troops from our Tang Dynasty to go to war!" Li Shimin said while sitting there, rubbing his head.

"What is 1 troops enough for?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in surprise when he heard that.
Li Shimin also looked at Wei Hao. Li Shimin was not familiar with Persia either. Now he just heard that there were Persian troops participating in the Tubo war. But now, the princess of their country came to borrow the army, which made Li Shimin completely confused. According to Li Shimin's original intention, this Persia will destroy them at that time!
"Your Highness, what kind of Rome are you fighting with?" Wei Hao stood there, seeing Li Shimin staring at him, thinking that Li Shimin probably didn't know anything, so he could only ask the princess, and the translator next to him immediately Tell it to Princess Kawad, and then Wei Hao heard a babble,

After the interpreter finished listening, he immediately said to Wei Hao: "Duke Xia, the Persian Empire is indeed at war with the Roman Empire, and it has been fighting for hundreds of years! Now that the Roman Empire is strong, it has been oppressing the Persian Empire. Knowing that Datang's army is strong, I want to spend money to hire Datang's army to go to the Persian Empire and help them defeat the Roman Empire!"

"Oh!" Wei Hao nodded, but still didn't understand.
He knew about the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, but he had only heard of the name, but he knew nothing about where these countries were, how much territory they controlled, how many people they had, what their armies were, and who their kings were. Not only did he know nothing about it, but even in the entire Tang Dynasty, no officials knew about these two countries, but they had heard of it.

"Your Majesty, this matter?" Wei Hao stood there, looking at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, you are responsible for this!" Li Shimin said while sitting on it.

"What the hell, I'm in charge, what am I in charge of?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in a daze and asked, since he couldn't talk to them directly, how could he be responsible.

"Anyway, whatever you want, you can tell them!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, he himself also had a headache, and he didn't know where to start.

Then, Li Shimin announced that he was leaving, and asked the people from Honglu Temple to take the envoys to the post house, and Wei Hao also followed Li Shimin to the fifth floor.

"What's the matter, father, why did a princess appear out of nowhere, is it fake?" Wei Hao followed Li Shimin and asked.

"It's not fake. There has been news from the front line, and I heard that the Persian side is also torn apart. The king seems to be very bad. Those ministers are very powerful, and there are also those chieftains who are equivalent to our Tang Dynasty. Disobeying the order of the court, now sending troops to fight with our Tang army,
However, I don't know anything about these two countries, so go and find out more! "Li Shimin said to Wei Hao in front.

"Why me? I'm busy!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin incomprehensibly and asked.

"I'm busy too!" Li Shimin stopped, staring at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be responsible!" Wei Hao immediately stared at Li Shimin and said.

"You, you are just lazy. Look at how lazy you are now. If you are asked to take responsibility for something, you just push back!" Li Shimin pointed to Wei Hao and asked with a sad face.

"No, why, I don't care about the Honghe Temple, why don't you just let the Honghe Temple be responsible?" Wei Hao was very depressed, and he didn't understand.

"How do they know? I want you to go to find out about their situation. I heard that this country is very big. You said, if we occupy it, it would be good?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Father, I don't know anything about the situation, so I'm thinking about the occupation? Let's take it easy!" Wei Hao said helplessly standing there, Li Shimin's ambitions are really big now!
