Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 709

Chapter [-]
"Your Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to see you!"

Chen Ying naturally knew that the Sasanian Empire was a dynasty in ancient Persia, but the Sassanian in this era did not believe in religion, so their dress was completely different from that of later generations.

From different angles, the problems of observing things are also different.Chen Ying looked at Minaval at this time, and found that she exuded a holy radiance, and her gestures carried an aura that was difficult to look directly at.For a princess, why pretend to be a handmaiden for the sake of adventure, and enter the bathroom of Gaoche City.

In fact, Chen Ying can roughly guess some of them.When the country is facing life and death, if there is really foreign aid that can solve the survival crisis, it is estimated that any king will be willing to send his daughter to someone else's bed.

However, Chen Ying knew that as a minister, it was not his turn to make decisions on diplomatic issues like this.However, with Chen Ying's status today, he can influence Li Yuan's decision-making through Li Jiancheng.

Chen Ying said with a faint smile: "Datang will feel honored because of your arrival. Don't worry, when you come here, this general will guide you through the customs, and at the same time send an army to escort you along the way. Go to Chang'an!"

Minaval shook her head and said with a slight smile: "General Chen, I don't want to go to Chang'an, I just want to ask you to help our Sassanid Empire and our poor citizens!"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Your Highness, your Chinese is so fluent, you must have some understanding of our Tang Dynasty. I am only the governor of the Western Regions, and the two countries have diplomatic relations. It is not me, Chen Ying, who can influence you. As for helping your Sassanid Empire, This is even more difficult for the strong, although I was ordered to guard the Western Regions, but I have no right to command the trilogy and fight for your Sassanid Empire!"

Minervale said with a smile: "Your Excellency, General, I heard that Anubis, the god of hell, has a balance made of gold. On one side is the soul of the sinner, and on the other side is the burning gold. Only the burning gold is on the other side. The soul will slip into hell only when it is raised high, and if it is the other way around, the soul will be redeemed."

Chen Ying couldn't help laughing: "Your Royal Highness, although I have never heard of this saying, I also know that money can make ghosts pervert, but not all ghosts will sell their souls for money. Although I am very I sympathize with your Sasanian Empire, but without the imperial decree of our emperor, this general will not mobilize a single soldier!"

Minaval forced a wry smile and said, "Will His Majesty the Emperor agree to the general leading the army to march west?"

"This..." Chen Ying pondered: "I really don't know, but you can try!"

"Try?" Minaval frowned, and sighed a long time: "Your Majesty, do you think your Majesty the Emperor will agree? Will you help our Sasanian Empire? What kind of price can your Majesty the Emperor agree to?" Agree to send troops to help us? Even if it is exchanged with my life, Minaval is willing."

Chen Ying was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "Princess Minavale, I deeply sympathize with what happened to your country, but this general is powerless, please rest in Gaoche City for a few days, princess, there will be a A cavalry escort you to Chang'an."

Minaval shook her head and said, "My teacher is a knowledgeable and wise man. He told me that there is nothing in this world that gold can't solve. If one piece is not enough, then two pieces..."

Chen Ying laughed loudly: "You should be a woman who has seen the world and even knows some court etiquette, then you should understand that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has just begun, and too much energy has been invested in the land tens of thousands of miles away. The Sasanian Empire, this is not in the interests of Tang Dynasty. You are mistaken. If I were you, I would definitely not engage in meaningless arguments here, but try to think of a reason that can convince our emperor. That is It's the most important thing!"

Minaval shook her head, looked at Chen Ying with her big eyes, and said in her ethereal and mournful voice: "My kind general, the most precious thing in the Sasanian Empire is not gold, but the sons of our Sasanian Empire." Minerva, and Minaval's most precious thing is this pair of knees!"

As he spoke, Minaval slowly knelt down towards Chen Ying.

Chen Ying got up and looked down at Minaval, clapped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Princess Beautiful, why are you bothering?"

With that said, Chen Ying was about to walk outside.

With tears in his eyes, Minaval gently untied his clothes: "Dear General, please help the poor people of the Sasanian Empire. They are moaning in pain under the Turkic butcher's knife. Nawal swears to the God of Light, as long as you help the Sassanid Empire, I, Ardashir Minerwal, including my soul, all belong to you, and you can do anything to Minerwal..."

However, Minaval was destined to be disappointed.

Chen Ying left Jietang without hesitation.

It is absolutely impossible for Chen Ying not to be tempted by such a beautiful person.But Chen Ying is no selfless Virgin Mary.He must first take care of the Western Regions.

Actually, Chen Ying's situation is not good now.Since Qu Wentai found out that he could not break through the Tang army camp in Hua'ergou, he immediately abandoned the old and weak and retreated with the elite.Under the pursuit of Duan Zhigan's troops, Qu Wentai fled into the Yilie Valley with [-] remnants of his troops. A sudden blizzard cut off Duan Zhigan's continued pursuit.

Duan Zhigan had to stay in Wensu.

However, after Murong Fuyun got Chen Ying back, his army was defeated. Most of Zhang Huaiwei's men were heavy infantry, and their combat effectiveness in frontal confrontation was astonishing. Unfortunately, they were powerless to pursue the enemy. The remnants fled to the Bogda Mountains in the south.

The characteristic of the Western Regions is that they are large. Murong Fuyun led a trilogy to hide and seek with Chen Ying in the Bogda mountain area. Chen Ying had no choice but to recuperate in the snow-covered world.

If this cold and long winter can't freeze the Tuyuhun people to death in the mountains, Chen Ying will need to spend a lot of energy to clear the remnants of Murong Fuyun in the coming year.

In this situation, even with Li Yuan's imperial decree, it is impossible for Chen Ying to lead troops westward to help the Sasanian Empire.

Of course, if Minaval is smart, he will go to Chang'an in the spring of next year and establish diplomatic relations with Li Tang's court. Li Yuan will definitely not give up this opportunity to attack the Western Turks.It is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to attack the Western Turks. If you can get huge benefits, why not do it?

In fact, even if this procedural issue is completed, Chen Ying still has enough time to complete the payment of Murong Fuyun's department.As long as Murong Fuyun's troops are settled, it is believed that no one in the Western Regions would dare to rebel against Tang in a dozen or so decades.After all, the Yue Cavalry Army has already created many no-man's lands in the Western Regions. The destruction of dozens of tribes should give those who have different intentions in the Western Regions a little memory.

Most importantly, Chen Ying was actually positive about supporting the Sasanian Empire.Of course, the prerequisite is that the Sasanian Empire has to pay a sufficient price.All ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions fear authority but not virtue.

When Minerval appeared, an outline appeared in Chen Ying's head, a very vague memory.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang fully realized the heroism of the barbarians in Nanzhong.With the end of the Nanzhong War and the restoration of peace, these fierce fighters fell into unemployment. Keeping such forces in the South is undoubtedly a great factor of social instability.

After conquering Nanzhong, they used the local barbarian soldiers to build a strong army.Zhuge Liang implemented a favorable policy of killing two birds with one stone, that is, recruiting local barbarian fighters to join the Shu government army, and the funding problem was solved by the local tyrants. "Huayang Guozhi" records that Liang Yiyi was more ruthless, and he did not accept the powerful surnames. Instead, he ordered gold and silk, and hired evil barbarians as a family part, and many of them were hereditary officials.So the barbarians were greedy for goods, and they belonged to the Han in order to serve them concurrently, and formed the tribe of the barbarians, thus establishing a local army with the nature of using barbarians to control the barbarians. Get benefits and ease ethnic conflicts.At the same time, these unemployed local soldiers became the government army and became the core of the barbarians with centripetal force.Its composition of the army is familiar with the folklore and is less likely to provoke problems.

Zhuge Liang, in order to completely avoid the resurgence of the southern separatist forces, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, the Shu Kingdom spared no expense and moved the most powerful troops to the south. More than ten thousand Qingqiang families lived in Shu.This is the origin of Wudang Flying Army.After the members of this army arrived in Shu County, they became the military households of the Shu Kingdom, served as soldiers for the Shu Kingdom for a living, and became professional soldiers.At that time, the prosperity of Chengdu and Nanzhong was not the same. The Yi people in Nanzhong valued warriors, so every time there was a vacancy, the Nanren would rush to report and prick blood enthusiastically, taking pride in it.It is reminiscent of the scene of the British army recruiting mercenaries from the Gurkha battalion in Nepal.Of course, the population in the south was small at that time. There were [-] households in Yuke County, [-] households in Jianning County, [-] households in Zhuti County, and [-] households in Xinggu County. The separatist forces can be regarded as drawing salary from the bottom.

In fact, Chen Ying wanted to imitate Zhuge Wuhou's old wisdom and recruit all the young and strong men from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions to form a mercenary army to conquer the Western Turks. Anyway, the Sasanian Empire government paid for it. There is no need for the Tang Dynasty to support them. On the contrary, they can get heavy rewards in the war. As long as Chen Ying can maintain relative fairness and rich rewards, this mercenary army can become stronger as they fight.

Once the net worth of these soldiers doubled and everyone became rich, they lost their bloody courage.If an army is full of millionaires, their combat effectiveness can only be described as scum. After all, only the poor will work hard and use their lives to gain wealth, but the rich will spare their lives. They will only use their lives to enjoy the glory rich.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying picked up the pen.Write down your own ideas and send them to Li Jiancheng, hoping that Li Jiancheng can support this important decision.

In winter, the Western Regions are completely isolated by ice and snow.

In winter in the Western Regions, birds fly away in thousands of mountains and people disappear in thousands of paths.Every time it is cold winter, countless tribes in the Western Regions will disappear completely, and the entire tribe, the entire tribe will freeze to death collectively.But after Chen Ying came, the situation has been greatly improved.In particular, the large-scale use of coal, especially the use of fire pits and fire walls, made the houses a place where people from the Western Regions can enjoy the warmth of the Tang Dynasty.

Nomads are difficult to control only because they have no fixed place to live.But once they settle down, they will become just like Tang people.

Cowhide tents cannot insulate from the cold, but fire walls and fire pits cannot be built in tents.Under the consideration of life and death, many nomadic peoples unanimously fell in love with masonry houses. They can easily insulate from the cold under the protection of the fire wall.

Moreover, Chen Ying also promoted the artificial cultivation of alfalfa.It is a very stupid behavior for the nomads in the Western Regions to discover that grazing sheep all over the mountains and plains.

Throughout the winter, Minaval still ran to Chen Ying's door tirelessly, so Minavale became a beautiful scenery in Gaoche City!
