Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 608 Persian Raiders
"The king of Persia doesn't have to be like this, please stand up and talk."

Looking at Belus, who was prostrating on the ground and crying endlessly, Li Xian felt a lot of emotion in his heart, because Li Xian knew very well that the old man in front of him was an out-and-out tragic figure. Obviously wanted to help him, so it was the same—Li Xian remembered very clearly that in his previous life, Belus took the restoration of the country as his mission all his life, and raised troops in Tocharo many times to counterattack the black-clothed food, but the end result was repeated battles. Defeated, in the end, he had to flee to Datang, hoping that Datang would send troops to help him, but he failed in the end, and ended up dying of illness in Luoyang. No matter what, the old man couldn't last until the moment when Li Xian made his move.

"His Royal Highness refused, so I knelt down and hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince would help me, so I kowtow to you..."

Belus's only hope now rested on Li Xian, so he was very excited, kowtowed desperately, and begged bitterly.

"His Royal Highness, all the people of my Persian country are enslaved and suffering unspeakably. I hope that Your Highness can lend a helping hand, but if there is a need, there will be no one who refuses to obey!"

Seeing his old father so sad, the Nirvana Master who had stood upright couldn't stand anymore, and knelt down on the ground with red eyes, begging with a choked voice.

"Let's all get up, I will take action when it's time to do so."

Li Xian has always had no love for tear-jerking plots, and it’s enough to adjust the atmosphere occasionally. If there are too many, then some children will be "unrepentant". Seeing that the King of Persia and his son are all in tears, Li Xian It was indeed a little hard to see, so he waved his hand and made a vague promise.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

Although Li Xian's promise was very vague, it was great news to the Persian king and his son who had nowhere to go. The father and son were overjoyed and grateful.

"Don't be too busy to thank me. I have a few requirements. If the king of Persia can do it, there may be hope for things. If not, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help."

The charity belongs to the charity, and the price still has to be charged. Li Xian didn't intend to play "internationalism". After Belus sat down again, Li Xian looked serious and began to negotiate terms.

"I implore Your Highness to order, but if you can have something, you will never dare to hide your secrets."

Bellus only wanted to restore the country, no matter how harsh the conditions were, he would never dare to refuse, and before he heard the details, he had already agreed with all his heart.

"If the King of Persia has this kind of heart, my palace can feel at ease. The first thing is that the king of Persia must keep it a secret. If the talk today is leaked, don't blame this palace for being unpredictable. "

Li Xian was very satisfied with Bellus' humble attitude, so he nodded and put forward the first condition.

"Naturally, I hereby swear that if any secrets are leaked, I will be cut to death!"

Bellus is also from the royal family. Although he may not understand the ancient Chinese saying "If the king does not secretly mourn his country", the reason behind it is still clear. Hearing that Li Xian said it so carefully, he dared not be negligent. , hurriedly swearing all over the world.

"Well, that's very good. The second thing is that you have to wait. The military and state affairs are not something that I can decide arbitrarily. You have to find the right time. Well, it will take three or two years to brew at the earliest. If not , not only will nothing happen, but I am afraid that this palace will also suffer, I hope the king of Persia will understand this point."

Li Xian pressed his hand to signal the agitated Belus to calm down, and then continued to speak with a very serious expression.

"This, this... No matter, I have been waiting for more than [-] years, but it is not short of three or two years. As long as His Highness is willing to help, I will be grateful."

Belus wished he could send troops tomorrow, but he also knew that the current court situation in Datang was a bit strange. Although he didn't know the inside story, but seeing that the female stream of Empress Wu was in control of the court situation, he knew that the matter of sending troops was indeed not Li Obviously said that it can be calculated, although he is very anxious, but he can only accept the conclusion of waiting for the opportunity.

"Thirdly, my Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away from Persia, and it is not easy to carry out troops. I regret that even if I send troops, it is impossible to send many troops. I still need the king of Persia to gather the old troops to support them. Is this possible?"

Seeing that Belus had no objection to the second clause, Li Xian pulled down the third finger calmly, and solemnly stated the third clause.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, most of our people are nostalgic, as long as the humble minister returns to the country to say hello, there will be a large number of people who will respond. If you dare not speak of combat power, it will be no problem to respond."

Hearing Li Xian said that there would not be too many troops, Belus's face immediately darkened, but then he thought that if the Tang army who went forward was frustrated, with the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely not be reconciled. There will inevitably be heavy punches, and the mood immediately improves. With a slap on the chest, he gave a very passionate guarantee.

"There may be something wrong with this. How can the soldiers gathered temporarily have the slightest combat power at all. You have to start from the foundation before you can know what you know. Well, the king of Persia can choose three people to come out, and this palace will have someone train them." Fan, return home early to make advance preparations."

The Persian royal family has always been friendly to the people and has a profound influence in the motherland. Li Xian knows this, and believes that as soon as the Persian father and son return to China, they can quickly recruit a group of people, but this is not Li Xian. The desired result is probably because the temporary gathering of troops will not be able to help Tang Jun at all, and may even be mixed into the team by a large number of traitors. Already lost more than half of it first.

"What Your Highness said is true. Master Ni Nie, the eldest son of the humble minister, has a lot of strategy, so let him go back to the country first, and plan in secret?"

In fact, Bellus didn't really understand Li Xian's suggestion, but it didn't prevent him from obeying Li Xian's words, and hurriedly pushed his eldest son out to be the candidate for returning to the country.

"No, the prince's goal is too big. If there is a mistake, the matter will be disharmonious. The King of Persia can choose three or five loyal and capable people from the entourage, and leave the rest of the affairs to my palace to plan."

Li Xian knew that Belus didn't understand the true meaning of what he said, but he didn't say anything. He just shook his head lightly and gave a negative answer. Of course, what Li Xian said was not true. The reason, the real reason is that Belus can't wait for the moment when the Tang army is dispatched, and without the banner of the Ni Nirvana Division, even if Li Xian fully supports it, the move of sending troops will definitely not pass in the court council .

"That's good, I will settle this matter tomorrow."

Belus fled to Datang in a hurry this time, and he didn't have many people with him, but it was not too difficult to find three or five capable ones, and he would not reject Li Xian's proposal, especially He readily agreed.

"Well, with these three things in place, the hope of the Persian king's restoration is at least [-]% sure. However, my Tang Dynasty will send troops thousands of miles away. After all, it will cost some money. Apart from the supply of food, fodder and supplies, my palace still has some special requirements. I wonder if the king of Persia can do it?"

The purpose of Li Xian's sending troops was not for benevolence, righteousness and morality, but for great benefits. Although when the time came to send troops to the Persian Gulf, there was no need for Belus to make any promises, and he could just send troops to take them. However, if he can get the full support of the King of Persia, he will be a good person. Li Xian doesn't want to be a good person, and he will not be soft when it is time to raise benefits.

"Please command, Your Highness, no matter what happens, there will be no one who refuses to obey."

Belus brought a lot of treasures with him when he came to Tang Dynasty, but in the past year, in order to restore the country, he went to the rich and powerful, and almost spent all his money and things. Li Xian said Asking for a reward, I immediately felt guilty, but when I said it, I couldn't allow him to back down, so I could only grit my teeth and reply impassionedly.

"Okay, since the King of Persia is so straightforward, I won't be too polite. After all, I can not only send troops to help you restore the country, but also fully support you in eradicating the hidden danger of Dashi. However, I have four One request, one is to cooperate with our Datang to capture the Nile River Basin, and to assist our Datang to re-dig the ancient Suez Canal. Second, our Datang caravan has the right to do business in your country. Your country is absolutely indispensable. Third, our Tang Dynasty must have the priority right to mine minerals in your country, and the benefits will be divided equally with your country. Fourth, your country should be a vassal of our Tang Dynasty and serve our Tang Dynasty. On the northwest border of Yongzhen, if the King of Persia can agree to these four items, I will try my best to persuade my father to send troops to help you restore the country, I wonder if the King of Persia will agree?"

Li Xian didn't say a word of politeness at all, and directly stated the four major clauses in one mouth.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have no objection to these four items. I can swear to the sky that I will never dare to disappoint Your Highness's love. All my descendants will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty forever, and will never betray or abandon them!"

Bellus was empty-handed at the moment, and he was really worried that Li Xianzi would ask for property, but when he heard these four conditions, he immediately felt at ease, because in his opinion, these four conditions were all taken for granted. Good Tang's original intentions were not contrary, so he didn't have any resistance, so he hurriedly swore to the sky.

"Well, I can trust the King of Persia's words. When I send troops in the future, I will sign an agreement with the King of Persia on these four items."

Everything that should be said has been said thoroughly, and the benefits that should be obtained have been roughly negotiated. It is too early to make a decision on this matter, so Li Xian doesn't want to talk more nonsense, and the meaning of chasing guests is already revealed in his words.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am very grateful, and I will allow you to retire temporarily. I will send the person I choose tomorrow. Please be more considerate, Your Highness."

Although Bellus was so excited that he couldn't hold it back, when he heard that Li Xian wanted to chase away the guests, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He stood up, saluted respectfully, and left excitedly.

"Hey, Your Highness, why did you bother to come here? I have a vast land and abundant resources in the Tang Dynasty, so why bother to care about those strange things, Zhang is really worthless for Your Highness."

Previously, Zhang Jianzhi just sat quietly and listened to the conversation between Li Xian and the King of Persia and his son, but after Belus left, he couldn't help it anymore and shook his head. Sighing, he dismissed Li Xian dissatisfiedly.

"Sir, the lesson is right, but let future generations comment on the gains and losses. My palace has made up my mind, so let's go with it."

Regarding Zhang Jianzhi's stubbornness, Li Xian was also a little helpless. After all, the reason why he was so "short-sighted" was because of his limited knowledge. Smiling, he waved his hands, left a sentence to explain, and was about to walk out, but just as he reached the screen, a person suddenly jumped out, even if Li Xian reacted quickly, he was almost bumped into his arms, Immediately, his face turned a little ugly.
