Fifty thousand Thorn Knights galloped towards Ctesiphon under the leadership of Hepburn, and only the billowing dust remained in Gorman.
......
at the same time.
Roman Empire.
Standing.
City Lord's Mansion.
Chester, the general of the Roman Empire, and Umar, the general of the Great Food Empire, were melancholy in the hall.
The originally good deck of cards became rotten due to Datang's entry into the game.
Snapped!
Chester's face was gloomy, he was furious, and he slapped the copybook angrily.
"This Da Tang's hand stretched a little too far."
"Sending 60 troops to aid Persia from thousands of miles away, what is this!?"
"Queen Bran did not hesitate to cede the land of the Three States to Datang in exchange for Datang's help. This woman is simply crazy!"
At this moment, Chester was already furious.
They have been planning for Persia for several years. Seeing the civil strife in Persia, they can stretch out their hands to pick peaches, and even kill a Tang Dynasty halfway.
How can they accept this! ?
"Ah..." Umar also sighed, "Then what can we do? Now that the Tang Dynasty has millions of soldiers, strong troops, and abundant money and food, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not tolerate our slow growth."
"Now, Qin Mu, son-in-law of the Great Tang Dynasty, has led 60 Tang troops to Taixifeng, and it is clearly for us to see."
The two were talking.
Moss, the lord of Standing, came quickly, "General, the Thorn Knights stationed in Gorman have withdrawn and are approaching Ctesiphon."
heard.
Umar and Chester glanced at each other, and then came to the map.
It seems that the decisive battle in Persia has already started at the moment when the Tang army entered Taixifeng.
"Arrogance!" Chester clenched his fists, his eyes were scarlet. "The Tang army stationed in Ctesiphon, and the Thorn Knights dared to retreat. He really doesn't care about our two empires." Immediately afterwards, he looked at Umar said in a deep voice: "General Umar, are we just watching Datang act wildly in front of us like this? If we withdraw like this, how can we deter the western countries in the future?"
Today, Chester is much more anxious than Umar.
For so many years, Rome's layout in Persia is far more than that of the Great Food Empire.
If this is the case, forget it.
Rome's painstaking efforts for so many years will all be in vain.
Not to mention that Chester was not reconciled, even the Roman monarch would not be reconciled.
but.
Umar did not seem too urgent.
"Why not?"
"Then what kind of character is Qin Mu, son-in-law of Shura of the Tang Dynasty, you should know better than me."
"If we attack Persia, who will resist Datang's 60 troops?"
"Da Shi is tied to the Roman family, and that is not half as good as Datang. Can we still tear ourselves apart with Datang?"
The more anxious Chester became, the calmer he became. Anyway, he was rushing to pick up the leak.
If it's good, just grab it, if it's not good, forget it.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to confront Datang head-on?
Hearing this, Chester's heart has already turned cold.
He looked at Umar and said in a deep voice, "Then what do you mean? Let's withdraw our troops here? Don't meddle in Persian affairs anymore?"
"Watching Datang extend his hand to our west?"
"You don't think we can coexist peacefully with Datang in the future, do you?"
Seeing Umar's attitude, Chester became even more angry.
Chapter 988 : Tang Jun's Deterrence (3/3)
hall.
Seeing Chester's distraught look.
Not only was Umar not in a hurry, but he was also a little bit secretly happy.
Although the Great Food Empire and the Roman Empire are allies now, he knows that this is only temporary.
There are no permanent allies in this world, only permanent interests.
Besides, the Great Food Empire has just risen for a few years.
Back then, Chester used the same method to deal with the Great Food Empire.
Now on Umar's back, there is still a scar like a dragon's knot, extending from the neck to the buttocks.
This is when the Great Food Empire was at war with the Roman Empire, Umar was wounded by Roman soldiers.
So they only have their own ghosts.
Moreover, the reason why Umar agreed to join forces with the Roman Empire to deal with Persia was because he was afraid that the Roman family would dominate.
Umar looked at Chester and smiled.
"General, don't worry."
"Didn't we just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
"None of us thought that Datang could come to Persia so far away."
"But to attack Persia and become an enemy of Datang, what price we will pay, general, you have to think carefully."
Umar said casually.
listen to him.
Chester instantly understood what he was thinking.
This is to sit on the ground and start the price.
It seems that if there is not enough bargaining chips, it is impossible to persuade Umar to send troops.
At this time, Chester had already greeted all eighteen generations of Umar's ancestors in his heart.
call......
Chester let out a long breath, and pondered: "Umar, I know you still remember the war between Rome and Dashi. But you have to understand that you are a superior, and you would do the same .”
"Just like you are now leading a 40-strong army to Chen Bing in southern Persia, each of us is the master."
Listen to this.
Umar snorted coldly in disdain, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about what I do. That's my business, and it has nothing to do with you, General Chester."
"You still have to think about how to deal with the 60 Tang troops."
"I might as well tell you, my Dashi is just going through the motions, fight if you can, and withdraw if you can't."
"You..." Chester pointed at Umar, furious, and he knew that Umar had this attitude.
Followed by.
Chester took a deep breath, and then said: "Well, I'll take a step back. We each occupy the territory we have built. In addition, Rome will provide you with an additional 40 days of food and grass for your [-] troops."
"Thirty days is enough for you to lay down the territory you want."
Now Datang is in the game.
If Chester wants to break the situation, he must pull Dashi into the water.
He must not allow anyone to be a bystander in this war.
Listen to the conditions proposed by Chester.
The corner of Umar's mouth raised slightly, and he said immediately, "General, don't you think you are too stingy? Thirty days of food and grass are far from enough..."
Snapped!
Chester jumped up, pointed at Umar and said angrily, "Don't go too far. After this war is over, your Dashi Empire will get far more than my Rome."
Umar waggled his fingers slightly.
"No no no..."
"General Chester, you have misunderstood. Originally, I, Dashi, had no intention of participating in this battle. It was you who insisted on dragging me into the group."
"So our relationship is an employment relationship, just like Queen Bran ceded the land of the three states to Datang in exchange for Datang's hand."
The words fall.
"Heh..." Chester narrowed his eyes slightly, full of coldness, looked at Umar, and said word by word: "Could it be that you, General Umar, also want my land of the three states of Rome?"
Umar waved his hand again, "General, don't get me wrong. I, Umar, am not someone who takes advantage of others' dangers. As long as the general pays me another [-] days of military expenses, I will obey the deployment of the general."
"This is impossible!" Chester looked at Umar and roared, "You are robbing! What do you think I am Rome!?"
see.
Umar spread his hands, and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to talk about. I think the general should not be difficult."
The voice just fell.
A Dashi follower ran in from outside the hall, "General Umar, it's not good."
Hearing this, Umar said calmly: "Don't rush if there is anything, just speak slowly..."
The entourage hurriedly said: "General, the Tang Dynasty sent [-] troops from Tubo to today's southwest border of Persia, and they have already stationed in the city of Selga."
"What!?" Umar stood up abruptly, "Da Tang wants to eat soldiers on me!?"
The attendant hurriedly explained: "That's not true, it's just that Chen Bing is on the border of Persia, presumably to prevent me from using force against Persia."
Listen to this.
Umar and Chester were both silent.
The two of them quarreled for a long time, and the quarrel became lonely.
Not to mention giving Umar thirty days of military expenses this time, even if he was given one year of military expenses, he would not dare to act rashly again.
He didn't want to cede land for peace like Persia.
"General Chester, take your leave now, don't mention the attack on Persia again."
As Umar said, before Chester could react, he rushed out of the hall.
Now, there is no need for him to talk anymore, it is better to stay in his hometown.
at this time.
Chester became even more angry, "Datang! Qin Mu! I am at odds with you!"
Chester roared angrily, drew out his long sword, and slashed at the tables, chairs and benches in the hall.
At this time, he was angry, and he could only use it to vent.
Not to mention that the Thorn Knights had withdrawn from Gorman, even if it was an empty city, Chester didn't have any desire to attack.
He worked hard for several years, and finally made a wedding dress for Datang.
It doesn't taste good.
It was as if he had spent tens of thousands of dollars of his family fortune, worked hard for a year, and married a beautiful girl, but in the end he let her into the bridal chamber.
This......
How could this be accepted by Chester?
But things have come to this, he can only eat Coptis chinensis dumb.
