Chapter 926 Old Accounts
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, we Sasanians have no intention of confronting Daqin. As long as Daqin returns to the Seven Rivers Basin and restores its old state, the heroic Sasanian soldiers will retreat immediately, and the great Sasanian Empire will also become Daqin's friend! "

The Zoroastrian Bologna, who had gone back to recruit shipwrights last time, returned. Indeed, he brought back fourteen shipwrights, but he also brought back Sassanid Persian envoys.

I heard that this man is the eldest son of the governor.

Before the rise of Christianity, Zoroastrianism had always been the state religion of the Persians.

It has a high status in Sasanian and is inextricably linked with the high-level Sasanian dynasty, so it is not surprising to bring a messenger back.

"Return the Seven Rivers Valley?" Yang Zheng couldn't help but sneer.

The most fertile places in the Western Regions are only three large areas, Gaochang, Qihe River Basin, and Hezhong.

This person needs more than 40 square kilometers of land for one mouth.

Germany, Britain, and Xiaori in later generations were not so big.

"Yes, Your Majesty, our Sasanian Empire is not the enemy of Great Qin. On the contrary, we share common interests. For hundreds of years, the Silk Road has connected the two great empires. We have people from the northern grasslands. A common enemy, should go hand in hand, not fight each other, it is meaningless."

I heard that he was on the way to Daqin, and he learned Chinese from Boluoxina. The words are very friendly, but very confusing.

However, Yang Zheng's mind has long been as firm as steel, and he will not change easily.

Expanding the circle of Chinese civilization is the greatest wish in this life. On this road, Yang Zheng has long been determined to meet gods and kill gods and Buddhas. How can he be persuaded by people in a few words?

Spitting out Xia Guo, wouldn't all these years of investment be wasted?
After the Wusun people return to their country, they will fall into the arms of the Sasanians immediately and become the biggest threat to the Western Regions.

Yang Zheng would never allow such a thing to happen, staring at the envoy, this person has a very human manner and conversation, he should be a dignitary in the Sasanian kingdom.

In fact, Yang Zheng has also been collecting information on Sassanid Persia recently.

Sasanian Persia is expanding to the Mediterranean Sea, planning to attack Rome.

One can also hear one or two things from the words of the envoy—Sassan did not want to be an enemy of Great Qin. In the final analysis, he did not want the east and the west to go to war at the same time, especially with great empires like Great Qin and Rome.

Both geographically and strategically, Rome has been the old enemy of the Persians for thousands of years.

From the perspective of Sasanian Persia, there is no doubt that the Mediterranean region has more strategic value.

Second, the envoys from Sasanian Persia traveled thousands of miles to lobby, who is more empty-hearted?
At least Yang Zheng never thought of negotiating with the Sasanians.

What cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained on the negotiating table.

"I, Daqin, really want to make friends with you Sasanians." Yang Zheng laughed.

The envoy was overjoyed, thinking that Yang Zheng had let go.

But the topic changed, "In order to show the friendship between our two countries, why don't you return the Hezhong area to Daqin?"

The messenger's face froze on the spot, probably because he didn't expect Yang Zheng's ambition to be so great, "The river is the old land of Guishuang people, how can we return it?"

"Then who are the Guishuang people?"

"The people of Dayue Clan have no connection with Daqin either."

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said: "The emissary didn't know that the Da Yue clan belonged to our people in the Central Plains. During the Han Dynasty, they settled in Zhangye and Dunhuang, Liangzhou. Later, to escape from the Huns, they moved to the west of Congling, and first destroyed Daxia. Kingdom of Bactria), and later captured Hezhong and established Guishuang Kingdom, but you destroyed our subjects, how can we not ask for an explanation?"

The Dayue Clan had five divisions, Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Jidun, and Dumi. After crossing Congling, the Guishuang Division grew stronger and became the Guishuang Empire.

The messenger was dumbfounded.

Turning over old accounts is naturally Daqin's strong point.

As long as Yang Zheng nods, the scholars of the Literature Museum can find countless pieces of evidence from the Library Pavilion...

"In addition, Wusun is also a vassal state of the Central Plains. It was defeated by the Dayue clan in Dunhuang, fled to the Xiongnu, and lived in the Seven Rivers Valley. It became the Wusun State. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been a subject state of the Central Plains. Wusun will never return to the state. It's our own business, and you don't need your country to worry about it." Wei Guan learned a lot, and these things came out of his mouth.

The envoy is also a smart person, so he didn't continue to linger on this, "Your Majesty, we have the sincerity to form an alliance with Daqin."

Yang Zheng laughed, "Then return it to Hezhong!"

It is impossible for Daqin to spit out the Seven Rivers Basin, and it is impossible for Sassan to hand over the area in the middle of the river.

So in the end, we still have to speak with a knife.

This is exactly what Yang Zheng wanted.

The blood transfusions in Guandong and Shuzhong in the past few years, Guanzhong has already recovered its vitality and is capable of launching a large-scale expedition.

Du Yu was just a vanguard, and the Daxing Chinese Army was ready to go west at any time.

Of course, at that point, Yang Zheng's appetite is not limited to the Hezhong area!

"The Sassanid Empire has a population of 2000 million and an army of one million. Your Majesty really wants to abandon our friendship?" The envoy resorted to the last resort and began to threaten with force.

Yang Zheng has been around for so many years, and it's not that he was scared, "It's a coincidence, my Daqin also has 2000 million people, a million soldiers!"

The population of the Sasanian Dynasty was 2000 million, which is definitely bragging. The real population of 2000 million and a million-strong army would have overthrown Rome long ago.

The population of Daqin is 2000 million, which is a conservative estimate.

In recent years, it has been incorporated into Liaodong, absorbing the people of Sanhan and Linyi as slaves. In addition to the small explosion of the inland population, it should exceed 2000 million.

After the Huns were defeated, they continued to eat and drink spicy food in Central Asia.

After the Dayue clan fled to Central Asia, tigers joined sheep.

The same thing happened in history with the Turks and the Western Liao Dynasty. When the Mongols went west, they almost swept away...

Yang Zheng believes that in the era of cold weapons, the East is crushing the West.

Especially now, the Central Plains is unified, the people's hearts are recovering, and the Qin army that is fighting the world is not old, and its combat power is at its peak.

This is where Yang Zheng's confidence lies.

Negotiations have stalled.

Yang Zheng didn't even bother to chatter with an envoy. The Sasanians had already invaded the south of Tianshan Mountain. At this time, if Daqin took a step back, others would take a step forward.

The collision of two civilizations has reached a critical moment.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Du Yu is unfavorable, Yang Zheng still has a trump card in his hand.

That is to unite the Romans and attack the Sassanids!

The Three Kingdoms Era of the Central Plains has become the Three Kingdoms Era of the world.

Daqin, Rome, and Sasanian are exactly three civilizations.

In the general situation, Rome and Sasanian are endless enemies, and Daqin is the target of both parties.

"Since His Majesty rejects our friendship, we can only meet on the battlefield." Although the conversation fell apart, the envoy still maintained his etiquette.

"As you wish." Yang Zheng said confidently.

The envoy's eyes rolled around, and he made a Sasanian salute, "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I would like to observe Daqin's army."

"It's rare for you to be so elegant. Boyu is so kind to entertain you." Yang Zheng didn't mind.

"Obey." Wei Guan left with the envoy.
