Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Looking at the map, Li Ke pondered for a long time, and then said: "Go back and tell Ashil that his surname will be Ashina from today on."

Ashina is the surname of the Khan of the Turkic royal family. Ashina means noble wolf or blue.According to legend, the Turkic royal family all had blue eyes, so they were called Ashina.

But Li Ke knew that this was not accurate. Another meaning of Ashina was that it represented Tengger, the highest god of heaven, that is, it represented the meaning of longevity.

Not all Ashinas have blue eyes, and not all Ashinas have blue eyes. There are many people with blue eyes. There is a pair of blue eyes, of course, the blue is not so obvious.

Don't care if it's obvious or not, as long as it's blue.

And since I, Li Ke, admit that he is Ashina, then he is Ashina.

"Yes." Wang Zheng Li Ke nodded, "Your Highness, do you mean to want Ashil to pretend to be a royal khan of the Western Turks?"

"Yes." Li Ke nodded.

"This... I heard that Ashilu is from the Western Turks, and he has a powerful army. There are really many tribes who have come to seek refuge." Wang Zheng thought of what he had seen and heard when they came over on the road.

Li Ke is a little speechless, does this count as unintentional insertion?

But West Turkic is too chaotic now, which is normal.

"After you go back, tell Murong Shun and the other generals that the two of them will temporarily follow Ashil to garrison here. The food is not a problem, and then just take over the food at the port where you are, and the west of the river you are currently controlling should be Let’s grow food.”

"Yes." Wang Zheng nodded.

"Well, you should be responsible for the management of these places first, and then talk about it after the affairs here are over." Li Ke thought for a while, and first arranged Wang Zheng here.

As for the exchange trade between gold and silver, it is within the expected range of Li Ke. Currently, at least [-]% to [-]% of the silver coins in Persia are already in the hands of Ashil. If only Li Ke appears at this time, as long as the Persian war If they are tight, they will definitely buy the weapons in their hands at a high price.

When they set off, Li Ke had predicted all possible things with Pei Xingjian. As for what Pei Xingjian could talk about, Li Ke could only trust him. As for letting Li Ke go there by himself, it was probably unlikely. The main reason is that Persia is too chaotic now, and many Persians in Persia have been bewitched by the Arabs.

Therefore, there are actually many informants who have defected to the Arabs in Persia, and the front line is not safe.

In November of the 20th year of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Xingjian's ship officially arrived at the most important port in Sasanian Persia, which is also near the mouth of the Mesopotamia into the Persian Gulf. Isai III, king of Persia, was contacted.

So when Pei Xingjian arrived, he met Isai III's envoy, Del Valle here.

This is an old man in his 50s. When he saw Pei Xingjian, he was obviously a little dazed. He didn't expect Pei Xingjian to be so young.

"This envoy of the Great Tang Empire, I welcome you on behalf of His Majesty the King," Del Valle said.

"Minister Del Valle, you're being polite. I'm not here on behalf of the Tang Empire, but only on behalf of His Royal Highness, Prince Qin of the Tang Dynasty." Pei Xingjian said with a smile on his face.

Del Valle was a little puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "I don't know who this prince is?"

"The Sasanian Dynasty is a friendly neighbor of our Tang Dynasty, so we heard that there was a rebellion in the territory of the Sassanian Dynasty, so we came here this time to support the Sasanian Dynasty and King Isai." Pei Xingjian said with a smile.

This Del Valle can speak Datang very well, so the communication between the two parties is not a problem.

In fact, there was another person sitting beside Pei Xingjian, who was the interpreter of Yuelai Trading Company, because Del Valle also had to discuss with other Persian ministers behind him, and they used Persian.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your concern, but these rebels are nothing to worry about. As for weapons and equipment...we have quite a few." Del Valle said simply.

Persia does not lack armor, but the full body armor of Persia in this period is definitely not as strong as Datang's Mingguang armor, and the number of Persian armor is not as large as that of Datang.

Pei Xingjian was a little speechless, so why put on such a pretense?If it was really that easy to wipe out, would these rebels unify the entire Arabian Peninsula, and then start to counterattack Persia's most important Mesopotamia region?

You must know that the battlefield where the two sides are confronting is only four hundred miles away from the capital of Sasanian Persia, Tessiphon (later Baghdad)!Even at this period, this is considered to be the arrival of soldiers!

If they fail this time, their capital will be completely captured, and the entire territory will be wiped out in more than ten years.

The form is already in such a crisis, and they are still so careless. It can only be said that these Persians have been arrogant for too long.

"Minister Del Valle, our caravan has always been trading with Persia, so we have a very good understanding of the situation on the Persian battlefield. If it is really easy to destroy, the enemy will not be approaching the city now, and it is only one step away from Ctesiphon away!" Pei Xingjian said in a deep voice.

Now that the battle has not yet started, Pei Xingjian feels that Persia can be saved, because if the capital of Persia is captured, the rest of Persia will be captured by the Arabs in more than ten years, but that may not be in line with His Highness's strategic plan .

As long as the capital does not fall, then everything will be fine.

Del Valle was silent for a while, of course he knew his own situation, but now the army was already lined up at the front line, and the most important thing was that their Majesty the King was not worried.

"Minister Del Valle, do you know who our Highness King Qin is?" Pei Xingjian felt that he had to make some serious news.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know much about the prince of Tang Dynasty." Del Valle still told the truth.

"Our Royal Highness King Qin has an unparalleled strategic vision. Last year, he wiped out the mighty Tuyuhun cavalry in one year. He wiped out 10,000+ Tuyuhun cavalry with thousands of cavalry, and the Tuyuhun cavalry is comparable to the Western Turkic cavalry! Even stronger in combat power! Then Your Highness With [-] cavalry, tens of thousands of Tubo soldiers were involved, and a large area of ​​their land was occupied." Pei Xingjian felt that he was not lying.

Although it was Dai Guogong who did it, but based on their combat effectiveness in Nanyang this time, if His Highness used force, these people would die faster.

And Pei Xingjian knew about Tubo's plan, so it wasn't bragging for him to say that.
