Cultivation of chastity

Beside Tian Changgeng, the Sasanian prince A Luo regretted respectfully: "General Tian, ​​the entire Sasanian army is willing to obey your orders!"

Tian Changgeng looked at the menacing Dashi army outside at this moment, and couldn't help but slap the back of his hand:

"How could things be like this, I shouldn't have accepted the 20 gold coins!"

Tian Changgeng couldn't help recalling his slightly ups and downs in the Sasanian trip.

Naturally, Tian Changgeng's superficial task was to open up the Silk Road, but his actual task was to lead the students from agricultural colleges and geologists to make a map from Chang'an to the west of the Western Regions.

Those who are in charge of making maps and landforms, such as the production of maps and landforms seen every day, the daily marching distance, and the small places for daily rest and water collection, and even the time of rest and departure, must be made by the person in charge of making geomancy.

At the same time, Tian Changgeng himself had to write a marching diary.

The marching diary is what Li Tai stipulates that every leading general must do.

Because only by writing the marching diary, and waiting until the end of the war, can the general’s marching diary be used to extract the essence of a war that can be copied, which can be regarded as preparation for the opening of a military academy in the future.

At the same time, through the comparison of different marching diaries between the superior and the subordinate, it is also possible to determine whether there are any hidden contradictions in the army.

In fact, those who are qualified to keep a marching diary are only the commander-in-chief and lieutenants, or a few important school lieutenants.

What kind of centurion and corporal, even if they want to write a diary, they haven't provided the paper yet!
As for what to do if they don't want to write a marching diary, Li Tai only said flatly:
"Our Great Tang lacks materials west of the Western Regions, and your marching diaries will definitely be used as first-hand reference materials in the future.

It is not impossible to even sort it out a little and compile it into the introductory chapter of the Datang Art of War series "From Ordinary Man to Military God".

At that time, even if you have no chance to become the military god of the Tang Dynasty like Duke Wei, it is still no problem to put your name with Duke Wei. "

Not only Tian Changgeng, but the other lieutenants around could not help but brighten their eyes when they heard Li Tai's promise.

Then a few people developed a good habit of writing marching diaries, and only a few major generals could still provide paper for Li Tai.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Tai feels that paper is heavy to carry, and if the quantity is not large, it will not be able to sell at a good price.

Because of this, Tian Changgeng entered Sasanian territory step by step under the leadership of Belus.

Along the way, Turkic cavalry, fire-breathing Roman thieves, and Khwarizm bandits, all kinds of experience monsters appeared.

But basically relying on the gravity arrow to solve it, or to use the gravity arrow to warn the opponent, telling the other party that they are a talented army, and these local bandits basically dispersed.

If the other party really rushed to fight beside him without knowing what to do, then Tian Changgeng would have to take off his cloak and sackcloth, and talk to the other party about physics.

Therefore, almost all the difficulties encountered along the way were desperate enough for small caravans, but as far as national-level troops were concerned, they were almost unimpeded.

When the surrounding forces saw such an army crossing the border, they more or less turned a blind eye to it, as if they hadn't seen it.

Then, under the leadership of Belus, this army came to Nihavand.

"Is this the Sasanian capital? It doesn't look like it? It doesn't look like a capital at all, but looks like a military camp."

Wang Xiaojie looked around curiously, but he could see that Nihavand was not at all like a capital city, but more like a large military camp.

"The capital was originally in Ctesiphon, but it was a pity that we lost the battle with Dashi a few years ago, so Nihavand was made the new capital!" Belus said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Don't talk too much!" Tian Changgeng patted Wang Xiaojie, telling him not to open any pots and to carry them.

After the little guy graduated from the agricultural school, perhaps because he was from a soldier family in Jingzhao Prefecture, he voluntarily signed up to be a soldier in the school and went to Xihai County to train.

He didn't show much in normal training, but along the way, Tian Changgeng obviously felt that this little guy was extra sensitive to the battlefield, so he dispatched him to be his own soldier.

Wang Xiaojie also pouted when he heard Tian Changgeng's words, but stepped aside.

The soldiers around him made fun of Wang Xiaojie, and a group of people also joked about the surrounding environment.

To be honest, even though the current Tang Dynasty has not yet fully entered the prosperous age, they, who were born in the Tang Dynasty, still have their own arrogance towards this Sassan.

Because they are Han Chinese, they have their own pride even when dealing with other civilizations.

The people of Datang did not feel this feeling of looking down. They just simply believed that Datang should be stronger than other countries.

To some extent, it is also the unbroken cultural heritage inherited from Qin and Han Dynasties.

Soon, Tian Changgeng settled down in Nihavand, and the entire caravan also began to dump the belongings. At the same time, they also passed the official weapons presented to Sassan by Belus. friendly support.

After all, I just arrived at a place, so it's just a gift to give a local snake.

And just when Tian Changgeng thought that he was waiting for the sale and purchase of these products, he set off for Chang'an to return to his command.

After I handed in the compiled map and my marching diary, even when I had completed this task, Bellus came with the Sasanian envoy.

Because in a few days Tian Changgeng will pay a visit to Yi Siqi III, and then Tian Changgeng will leave Nihavand.

After all, Tian Changgeng is not strictly a reinforcement, but just a guard to escort these things and personnel, so time is still quite tight, so Sassan's envoy came over soon.

Many matters at the national level have to be discussed in private before going through the motions during the actual meeting.

If it is not negotiated, at the formal level, it will not be mentioned at all.

Therefore, when Belus told Yi Siqi III about the combat effectiveness of the school army he saw, Yi Siqi III suddenly became interested in this army.

This is an army with at least one talent. For the current Yi Siqi, there is a lack of such a backbone army.

Even as a guest army, you can do a lot of things.

"Excuse me, are you General Tian who escorted the gifts from Tang Dynasty to Sassanid?" Sassanian envoys came to the Tang army's camp and asked.

"I am!" Tian Changgeng replied calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Although the other party was an envoy representing the Sasanian, from Tian Changgeng's perspective on the Sasanian Dynasty, he clearly felt the decline of the Sasanian Dynasty.

Even at the peak of his prosperity, Tian Changgeng would not have any fear.

The Sasanian envoy looked at Tian Changgeng with a calm posture, and knew that they came from the Silk Kingdom east of the desert.

Moreover, although Anxi and Sassan were destroyed once in history, there is more or less a historical inheritance.

So it is clear that the Han Dynasty was the king of Eurasia. When the Han Dynasty came to envoys, King Anxi sent [-] cavalry to meet them. He told the Han envoys that we are not easy to mess with. Even if you can kill the Huns, you may not be able to kill them. I.

Now as the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Turks began to compete for the Western Regions, Sassan felt that the king who ruled Eurasia back then was back.

The most important thing is that the opponent's history is longer than their own, so compared with the upstart Dashi, facing Datang, the Sasanian is more or less psychologically timid.

Especially now that he has suffered a big loss, this timidity is even more obvious.

However, in any case, Sassan is now in a life-and-death crisis.

So even though Datang only tentatively sent an army that looked a bit powerful, Yi Siqi III still sent someone to ask if he could win over this army.

At least concentrate the strength that can be concentrated, and first fight this battle of Nihavand, which is related to the fate of Sassan.

The Sasanian envoy saluted Tian Changgeng, and then after a specially prepared translation, he said:

"I also invite the general to fight against the Arabs together with my great king. Our country is willing to pay 20 gold coins and [-] good horses to hire soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty. In addition, we will give each soldier a good horse and [-] gold coins.

In addition, we, Sassan, will be responsible for all the consumable materials you need in Nihavand. "

"This matter is a bit beyond our expectations, because we need to discuss it before we can give your country an answer!"

Tian Changgeng looked at the Sasanian envoy and said solemnly, "This is not a trivial matter, I wonder if we can give a certain amount of time to reply."

"Understandable, please give me an answer before meeting with our king in two days." Sasanian envoy replied.

As the Sasanian envoy left, Wang Xiaojie leaned forward and said excitedly:

"General, is 20 gold coins really made of gold? How many seeds can you buy and how many acres can you plow!"

"Calm down, little money fan!" Tian Changgeng patted this guy when Wang Xiaojie's gaze began to change into the shape of Kaiyuan Tongbao, saying,
"Let the aristocratic family in the caravan send someone to the folks to ask how many people there are in Dashi. In addition, you go to Bellus to ask for a report on Dashi's military strength."

"Oh!" Wang Xiaojie asked curiously when he heard Tian Changgeng's words, "Is the general ready to participate in this matter?"

"It's not considered participation. The King of Wei ordered when he came to make a simple assessment of the military strength of Sassan and his opponent Dashi. This will facilitate our future construction and maintenance of this Silk Road." Tian Changgeng said seriously.

Wang Xiaojie nodded half-understood, and said, "King Wei seems to attach great importance to this path!"

"Just follow Wei Wang to work hard, why do we think so much, just do our tasks well!"

Tian Changgeng patted Wang Xiaojie and reminded him earnestly, "Wei Wang never dislikes other people's stupidity, as long as he is willing to work, he will be reused!"

Listening to Tian Changgeng's words, Wang Xiaojie's mind was very complicated for a while.

However, based on the news from the caravan and the news brought to him by Wang Bailusi, Tian Changgeng probably concluded that the opponent only had [-] to [-] enemies.

Hearing this news, Tian Changgeng's heart was filled with confidence immediately, isn't it just [-] to [-] miscellaneous soldiers!

At the beginning, Lao Tzu had done everything that he pushed 30 yuan with [-] yuan. Now there is a strong city and friendly troops here. How could it be impossible to defend it? The advantage lies with me!
So Tian Changgeng decisively agreed to Sassan's request for help.

Then, Tian Changgeng met Yi Siqi III, and the whole process was followed by court etiquette.

In addition to not needing to kneel down, and not signing the so-called credentials, he just signed a simple employment agreement.

Originally, according to history, the battle of Nihavand had already ended this year, and Sasanian's last national fortune was also tossed and tossed by Yi Siqi III.

However, Tubo fought against the Sasanian as a mercenary army for several years. Although no battle-like war broke out, the Tubo people are still very reliable in terms of individual force.

At least Wang Xuance didn't have that heavily armored academy soldier around, so it would be very difficult for you to get rid of the Tubo people.

Under such circumstances, with the addition of this new variable, Dashi decided to stabilize and wait and see.

However, when the two sides were about to form a decisive battle, Songtsan Gambo came to Yi Situ III and said that if my army did not go back, my hometown would explode, so the two sides could only break up peacefully.

Therefore, at this time, Yi Situ III was also very troubled. I saw that the Tubo people were quite reliable, and I desperately needed a victory to rebuild my prestige, and even needed to regain the former capital Taixifeng.

As a result, the decisive battle had not yet begun, and the Tubo people, one of the main forces, ran away, and the opponent even returned the hiring money.

Then what can I do, it is impossible to say that if the Tubo people are not in this war, they will stop fighting.

After all, even if he is willing to rest and recuperate, the question is whether the Arabs are willing to let themselves rest.

Fortunately, Tian Changgeng came here at this time, and his son Belus was bragging about the strength of the Tang army, so he hired them first with the heart of giving it a try, after all, it would not matter if there were more people Incorrect.

But in fact, within a few days after Tian Changgeng met Yi Siqi III, Tian Changgeng obviously felt a little impetuous in the whole city.

And before Tian Changgeng sent someone to inquire, Bellus had already come to invite Tian Changgeng to attend the military meeting together.

After all, although there are few people in Tian Changgeng, they more or less represent the Tang Empire. Even in the situation of mercenaries, they still have to give the face that should be given.

If Tian Changgeng is not notified to join the table even when the war is coming, then the two sides will definitely break up directly.

And Tian Changgeng came with his personal guards, and in the end he just brought a lieutenant Lin Da and Wang Xiaojie with him.

At this time, Belus introduced the important ministers of his country to Tian Changgeng, and assumed the heavy responsibility of translation for both parties.

Under the introduction of Belus, Tian Changgeng also understood that Yi Siqi III, Prime Minister Rustam, General Filuzan, Shahrak, Faruhzad, and two princes attended the meeting. One Arrow, one Belus.

To be honest, if Tian Changgeng understood Sasanian politics, he would find that the other six Sasanian families except the royal family did not send anyone to follow Yizudeng III at all.

Because Yi Siqi III has been losing since he ascended the throne.

The big nobles who lost the military power signed a non-aggression treaty with Dashi themselves as long as they paid taxes.

This is also the reason why Yi Siqi is having such a difficult time. His control over the country has long been lost with one failure after another.

Seeing Tian Changgeng coming at this moment, Bellus nodded, and Rustam coughed a few times and said seriously:
"The Arab cavalry has come within twenty miles of Nihavand!"

The monthly pass is out, there are more than 100 chapters of the monthly pass, I will add ten more chapters next month, I understand.
