Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1412 Withdrawal Threat

"The entire east coast of the Mediterranean Sea belongs to the Roman Empire!"

In the city of Tbilisi between the Caucasus Mountains and the Kura River, the Crown Prince of Great Qin came to meet the Roman and Persian emperors on behalf of the emperors of the Eastern Empire. Before the official meeting of the three emperors, the Crown Prince met with the Roman Emperor Heraclius first.

The two sat by the Kura River and watched a wonderful polo match. The polo team of the Ben Army of the Great Qin Brigade faced off with the polo team of the Imperial Guard of the Roman Emperor.

Both teams have shown their housekeeping skills, playing you and me, which is wonderful.However, the Roman Emperor and His Highness the Prince of Qin chatted about more important matters.

The original agreement may be changed now, and Daqin must of course ensure his best interests.

Faced with the proposal proposed by Qin Crown Prince Jiawen, Emperor Heraclius was very satisfied.

The east coast of the Mediterranean Sea is allotted to Rome, which is of course as it should be. During the strong period of the Roman Empire, not to mention the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the entire coast around the Mediterranean Sea belonged to Rome.However, after eight years of civil war, although with his efforts, he has led Rome to regain its strength and begged for mercy against Persia for the first time, but the fertile imperial granaries of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria are still in the hands of the Persians.

"His Royal Highness, I hope that Rome can also assign Mesopotamia to Rome, which was once the land I conquered by Rome!"

Emperor Heraclius had a big beard on his face, and he smiled brightly. He was also very polite to the young Eastern Crown Prince, and did not underestimate him.As early as last year, he was a little unhappy when he learned that the Great Qin Emperor would not come to meet but sent the prince.

But later I heard that the prince came to the west and fought several big battles in the Western Regions. He wiped out a Turkic alliance of 50 people at one time, and then wiped out a Turkic-controlled Sogdian country. Immediately afterwards, he was shocked by forcing two countries in the Western Regions to surrender.

Being able to defeat or subdue so many forces one after another in a short period of time is enough for this prince to win his respect.

Of course, after Kawad II usurped the throne and murdered his father to win the Persian throne, Heraclius also began to have some other careful thoughts. No matter how old Kush II was, this old guy was after all taking advantage of the civil strife in Rome. He was beaten into a panic.

He happily supported the Persian prince to seize the throne so happily before, of course he wanted to see Persia's internal strife.Now Persia really has internal strife. Although the prince has successfully usurped the throne, Chirac is a little clear that this will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of many Persian nobles and others. The division of Persia will only become more serious and weakened.

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, how can it be done without digging out the meat of Persia? Not only will the Roman lands taken by Kush Lao II be returned, but also some important Persian territories, such as Armenia and Mesopotamia, must be taken away. Not Damia.

Mesopotamia is the plain of Mesopotamia, and the Syrian plain on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, collectively known as the Fertile Crescent. It has been an important place for all parties to compete for since ancient times. It is the most fertile plain land and an important granary.

After Persia was willing to return Syria on the east coast and Egypt on the south coast to Rome, Heraclius made every inch of it, wanting Mesopotamia and Armenia in the southwest of the Caucasus.

"The warriors of the Imperial Guard of Rome played polo well!" Prince Jiawen said with a smile.

Seeing that the prince did not answer, Chirac lightly turned the jewel ring on the finger of his left hand with his right hand.

"If Daqin is willing to support my request from Rome, then Rome is willing to propose that Persia allocate all the important land between Georgia and Azerbaijan, the size of the Caucasus, to Daqin."

After hearing this, Jiawen was a little moved.

Siye previously proposed to give Azerbaijan, which is close to the Caspian Sea, willing to give Georgia to Rome, but now Rome is willing to give Georgia to Daqin. In this way, Daqin has a complete geographical area and a passage connecting the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, and There are also large and small Caucasus Mountains as barriers in the north and south.

"His Majesty Kawad II of the Persian Sasanian will certainly not be willing to accept this condition!"

"We can assign the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula to Sasan!" Emperor Heraclius laughed.

The emperor added that the land on the east coast of the peninsula was still given to Daqin.In this way, the area on the south coast of the Persian Gulf is actually for the Persians. After all, the east and west ends are allocated to Rome and Daqin. It is said that the northern part of the middle is allocated to Persia, except for the area along the south coast of the Persian Gulf. , there are many areas suitable for living and farming, and most of the remaining areas are in the Gobi desert.

The really better part of the peninsula is the place surrounded by the sea.

Jiawen thought about it in his heart. If the proposal of the Roman emperor was followed, there would not be much left in Sassania. Asia Minor would be occupied by Rome, and the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea would have nothing to do with them. Now Armenia would also belong to Rome. , Even in the Arabian Peninsula, they can only keep the southern coast of the Persian Gulf.

In Persia, only the traditional Persian plateau area remains.

They no longer have access to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. On the contrary, the Roman Empire will own the Arkan Peninsula, Asia Minor Peninsula, Egypt, Syria, Palestine and other places.

The prince looked at Siye on the side.

But Siye didn't help the prince make decisions, just smiled, and then turned his head to continue watching the game.

The prince bowed his head and pondered for a while, he thought of many words his father had taught him, and even thought of the real purpose of this meeting.

Daqin didn't want Rome and Persia to continue fighting like this, and he didn't want to see the rise of pagan forces on the peninsula. The mediation between Persia and Rome was not about dividing and slaughtering Persia, but about balancing.

"His Majesty Emperor Heraclius, I, Daqin, hope that Persia and Rome will have peace, and that the people in the West will not suffer from the flames of war."

Chirac smiled slightly and did not refute.

"Da Qin has a proposal that the Asia Minor Peninsula Plateau and the Syrian Plain, as well as Palestine and Egypt, are all placed under the Roman Empire. The Armenian Plateau is returned to Persia, and Mesopotamia with two rivers is also returned to Persia. The Caucasus Mountains Between Georgia and Azerbaijan, this barren mountainous area will be handed over to Daqin."

"For the Arabian Peninsula between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, the west belongs to Rome, the south and east belong to Daqin, and the southern coast of the Persian Gulf in the north of the peninsula belongs to Persia."

"My Great Qin, the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire joined forces to encircle and suppress the pagan forces on the peninsula, and jointly build a peaceful situation on the peninsula."

As for the Khazars and Turks, they also have advantages. The advantage is that Rome ceded some border areas of the Avars and Slavs to them.

Therefore, on the surface it is the alliance of the three emperors, the peace agreement of the three empires, but in fact it is the seven-nation agreement.

Emperor Heraclius was not very satisfied with this result. He still wanted to take advantage of Persia's weakness to cut off the Armenian Plateau and the Mesopotamian Plain, so that Persia would never get up again.

However, the crown prince has already stated that this is Daqin's final position. If Rome refuses, then Daqin will no longer continue the Three Emperors Alliance, and Daqin may even continue to negotiate with the Persian emperor to reach an agreement between Daqin and Persia. Once this new agreement without Rome is signed, then the Great Qin Persian Alliance, Rome may be the enemy.

Emperor Heraclius looked helpless, and finally nodded with a wry smile.
