Chapter 954 The King

Daqin had two feudal states in Central Asia.

The Han Kingdom was closer to the Roman Empire, and the Sassanids naturally found their way to the Xia Kingdom.

And they also inquired about the delicate relationship between Xia Guo and Han Guo.

"His Royal Highness King Xia, I heard that you are the eldest son of the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire. According to our law, the eldest son has the greatest right of succession! We Sasanians are willing to be your most steadfast allies!" Lobbyist Shimogan from Persia One of the big families is the Ispar Budan family.

This family is famous in Persian history for being rich in poets and scholars.

When Daqin moved westward, it was this family that first carried out research on Daqin.

The rise of the Han Dynasty like a comet made Yang Yi feel a little uncomfortable.

The value of this piece of land was far greater than he expected. As Yang Zheng's eldest son, he also inherited Yang Zheng's greed and desire for land.

Sometimes, this kind of ambition even surpassed Yang Zheng himself.

Especially in Central Asia, there are so many no man's lands.

Yang Yi ran into the sheep like a wolf.

If Xia Kingdom can have Hezhong... then a great empire will rise in an instant.

Han has all the things Xia Guo lacks most, but no matter how ambitious Yang Yi is, he doesn't dare to act rashly, so he can only bury this ambition deep in his heart.

He deeply knew who Du Yu was, and also knew how many Jin Yiwei and Xuan Yilang there were in Xia Kingdom...

For this secret meeting, Yang Yi didn't even bring his three brothers with him.

These three brothers each have their own thoughts, and Yang Yi no longer expects them to help him.

The second son, Zhao Xiong, was deeply thoughtful and never expressed his opinion lightly. Yang Yi even suspected that he was the head of the Zhenfu Division in Xia Kingdom.

The youngest Xia Houxu is the queen's nephew and the prince's cousin...

The fourth eldest, Li Xiang, looks like a reckless man on the surface, every day he fights for the heir apparent... In fact, he is smarter than anyone else...

"Speak directly, what do you want, what can you give to this king!" Yang Yi's eyes were shining brightly.

It is indeed a good choice to join forces with Sassan in secret.

"We need Your Highness to send a cavalry force to circumvent the Caspian Sea from the north, attack the Caucasus from north to south, and destroy the main force of the Romans. After this is done, all the land north of the Aral Sea will belong to Your Highness!" Shimogan said eloquently.

Yang Yi sneered, "If the king's army can reach the Caucasus, they will naturally take over the land north of the Aral Sea, and you still need to decide who these lands belong to?"

"Your Highness, of course you can capture these lands, but without the support of our Persians, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold these lands under the attack of the Slavs. This cooperation is just the beginning. In the future, after the fall of the Roman Empire, there will be even more The great land belongs to you, and a powerful empire will be born from your hands, and at that time, you will no longer have to look at the face of the emperor of the Central Plains."

Shimogan was very confident that his words could move the young king.

Before coming, he had collected all the information about Yang Yi, analyzed his personality, preferences, and his status and situation in Daqin.

It can be said that an alliance with the Sasanians is the best choice.

But he had calculated everything, but Yang Yi's awe and admiration for Yang Zheng had already been deeply rooted in his bones.

As long as Yang Zheng is still alive, Yang Yi will not do anything outrageous even if he has a thousand guts.

"Your Excellency doesn't seem to have heard clearly. What this king is talking about is what you can give, not empty promises!" Yang Yi has been King Xia for so many years, so he is naturally not a political idiot.

Obviously, the Sassanids just wanted to be empty-handed.

Who dares to take such a promise seriously?

Ximogan was stunned, and suddenly felt that the young king was not easy to deal with, "Looking at the world, only our Sassanid Empire can be your Highness's friend, I think this is enough."

The signboard of the Sasanian Empire has great prestige in Central Asia.

But this only targets small countries and tribes in Central Asia. Who is Yang Yi?

It doesn't make sense for a prince and king of Daqin to turn around and rely on the Sasanians when encountering troubles.

Yang Yi is not so stupid, "The king now knows why you were defeated. The current situation is that you Sassan need the king as an ally, not the king needs you. Look at the Romans who are your opponents in Han. What he did, if Sassan doesn't change, he will be the defeated party!"

So far, Sasan has not had a formal mission of any importance.

Although Daqin did not form an alliance with Rome, it actually favored the Romans.

On this basis, Sassan still has a condescending attitude, which is not difficult to explain their defeat on the battlefield.

Yang Yi's strong self-confidence overwhelmed Xi Mo Gan, "Go back, think about it before you go back and talk to me!"

Xi Mo Gan looked unwillingly disappointed, and wanted to persuade him again, but was overwhelmed by the majesty in Yang Yi's eyes.

Young and energetic, calm and composed, but ambitious...

Such a person is obviously not something he can convince with a few words, "Then, Your Highness, I look forward to having a detailed discussion with you next time."

Not long after the Sassanian envoy was there, Zhao Xiong came by smelling it.

Zhao Xiong came on the front foot, and Xia Houxu also arrived on the back foot.

This made Yang Yi even more certain that the two had their own power in the Xia Kingdom.

"The Sasanians came to seek an alliance with this king, what do you think of the second brother and the third brother?" As Yang Yi, he disdains to deceive his sworn brothers.

And an alliance with the Sasanians wasn't a big deal either.

"Your Highness will definitely refuse." Zhao Xiong glanced at Xia Houxu.

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Oh? Why is the second brother so determined?"

"The fact that the Sassanids came here secretly shows that they are not sincerely forming an alliance. They intend to instigate the relationship between the three parties of the Xia-Han Western Regions Protectorate. Your Highness should be cautious."

"Haha, as expected of the second brother." Yang Yi admired.

Xia Houxu cupped his hands and said: "My little brother thinks that if Sassan sincerely forms an alliance with His Highness, it's all right. He can follow the example of the Han Dynasty and secretly win over people who are close to us. One is to export my Confucian teachings, and the other is to use it for His Highness in the future. "

As long as Yang Yi doesn't openly raise the flag to rebel, Yang Xiong and Xia Houxu will still stand by his side.

A tripartite confrontation in Central Asia has been formed.

The Xia Kingdom, which occupies the Seven Rivers Basin and Kangju Nanfan, is the strongest. It has been established for 13 years. Last year, it forcibly sinicized the people of the country, which strengthened its internal control.

Yang Yi has [-] elite troops under his command, and the regular force has already reached [-]. If he raises his arms, it will not be difficult to get more than [-] string-controlling men.

Many herdsmen in Xia Kingdom are natural cavalry.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand that Du Yu wants to restrict Xia Guo.

Of course, the imperial court and Du Yu only want to restrict, not kill with a stick.

Therefore, Yang Yi's special actions are all within the tolerance range.

Since the direction of Han's output is Rome, it is all right for Xia to export influence to Sasanian.

Under the seven Sasanian families, there is still a lot of blank space.

Under the rule of the Persians, there were other ethnic groups that did not believe in the Jacko religion. The big cannibals in the south were always ready to move and set off several rebellions.

"Second and third brothers, don't worry, the Sassanids will come to your door." Yang Yi said firmly.

His temperament is becoming more and more like a king.
