Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One Turns Upside Down

The capital of Lower Persia, Susa, is a very prosperous city, but it is not far from the river under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and is only less than a thousand miles away. Perhaps this indirectly reflects the enterprising spirit of the Lower Persian royal family. As a direct descendant of the Sakura Dynasty, the Lower Persian royal family has always regarded itself as Persian orthodox. They believe that Upper Persia, which was supported by the Qin Dynasty, was a great enemy to obstruct them from unifying Persia. The two countries have been attacking for more than a hundred years. However, whenever any country is about to complete unification, the Qin Dynasty will always send troops to return the two countries to a even-match situation. Therefore, Upper Persia, which was originally established by the Qin Dynasty, also regarded the Qin Dynasty as an enemy. Sometimes the two countries will reach a temporary alliance relationship to resist the Qin Dynasty together. However, more often, these two countries have to succumb to the hegemony of the Qin Dynasty.

For the Lower Persians, the Great Qin, which had been practicing culture for thirty years, was clearly in a period of decline in power. Although in these few years, the Great Qin Legion won several battles in the Western General known as the "Demon King", it is just a matter of uncivilized Hu people. At present, the Huns are now attacking the northern front of the Hezhong, while the Great Qin Legion is on the defensive. This fact is enough to make the Lower Persians believe that the Great Qin is at its weakest time since its founding. They even think that the Great Qin, who was called the world's number one general, was guarded by the Great Qin, just to scare them.

It can be said that among the people of Lower Persia, there were very high calls for war. However, the royal family and ministers suppressed this voice. Unlike the common people who were easily confused by superficial phenomena, the royal family and ministers knew that the Qin Dynasty was still the most powerful country in the world. The Huns' success was just to take advantage of the Qin Dynasty's full occupation of the Hezhong. They were busy suppressing the rebels and could not hoard the opportunity to go on the border. As long as the Qin stabilized the front line and fought with national strength, the Huns' defeat was only a matter of time. For the royal family and ministers, how to seize the greatest benefits at this opportunity was their consideration. Therefore, when the Qin envoys arrived, they still treated them as vassal states. Although they had hoarded more than 200,000 heavy troops on the border, they did not fight with the Qin Dynasty for a day and they were still vassal states under the hegemony system of the Qin Dynasty.

In fact, when the Qin envoys suggested that their generals in the West would conquer and destroy the more than 200,000 troops that were hoarded on the border of Hezhong and Western Front, and gave the great cause of Lower Persia to unify Persia, the royal family and ministers of Lower Persia were all moved, but out of past experiences, they were all skeptical, and finally chose to be cautious and did not give a clear reply immediately.

Living in the inn, Hong Yun, as an envoy on behalf of the envoy, was not worried that the Persians would reject him. Because from the current situation, it was indeed the best time for the Persians to complete their dream unification cause. The Huns' army dragged down the Qin army, and there were only more than 100,000 troops stationed on the western front, most of which were newly recruited Hu soldiers. When the Qin Dynasty fulfilled its promise and destroyed the 200,000 troops in Persia, there would probably be even fewer soldiers left, and the Persians had nothing to worry about.

Drinking the Persian wine in a glass, Hong Yun looked at the bustling streets through the loft of the inn. He was wondering when Cui Hao would launch it. As a former fellow traveler, he knew very well what kind of role the retainer of the Western General was. He was definitely not a gentleman. If he made the Lower Persian believe that this was the best time for them to unify the Persians to go to Persia through verbal talk, then this fox-like man would definitely make the Lower Persians realize who was their real enemy. The news has been revealed. Even without Cui Hao, the Persians must have reacted. Thinking of the secret negotiation clauses that were deliberately spread, Hong Yun showed a proud smile on his face. This was his first time to go abroad and he would never mess it up.

"Sir, sir!" Under the inn, Hong Yun's accompanying guard rushed in with a stack of newspapers in his hand and like a wind. Since the establishment of hegemony of the Qin Dynasty, things in Chang'an were brought to foreign countries by merchants and became the target of imitation. This newspaper is one of them, but it is called dibao in the Qin Dynasty, and in Persia, Rome and other countries, it is called newspapers.

"What happened? I was so panicked." Looking at the frivolous look of the guards accompanying him, Hong Yun put down his wine glass and said unhappily. When they were out, their words and deeds were all about the national system, and they should not be laughed at by outsiders.

Seeing Hong Yun's expression unhappy, the accompanying guard knew that he was reckless, so he quickly stood up and handed the newspaper in his hand, "Sir, a great guardian of Zoroastrianism has died!"

"Oh!" Hong Yun took the newspaper and looked at it. As a member of the Honglu Temple and serving as the Minister of Rites, he was one of the few people in the Qin Dynasty who were proficient in Persian and Latin languages, and the accompanying guards only bought newspapers that they could not understand when they heard the news.

It is easy to understand in your hands.

"Sir, I think only you can understand these bird words in Daqin." Seeing Hong Yun watching carefully, the accompanying guard said enviously, but his words made Hong Yun frown. He immediately reacted and said, "Sir, I don't mean that, I mean you have the ability to understand this bird...Persian."

Hong Yun didn't have time to pay attention to the words of the guards. He knew that Cui Hao had finally started. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the Persians' drag and put on a strong medicine. The dead Zoroastrian guardian was one of the few people who were very interested in his proposal. It can be said that this would make the Persians instinctively think that it was done by the Persians, and only they would be afraid that the Persians and the Qin Dynasty would reach some kind of agreement and sacrifice them.

"The great protector of Zoroastrianism is not a kitten or a dog, he actually kills it as soon as he says." Putting down the newspaper, Hong Yun murmured to himself. At this time, he was afraid of the assassin in Cui Hao's hands. 'No wonder many people in the court were very afraid of the generals in the Western Expedition. Such force is probably comparable to those big families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years.' Hong Yun thought to himself, but he was determined to seek refuge with Li Ang, the first general in the world. His ancestors

He was the only civil servant in the army in all dynasties, but his original ambition was to drive the Confucianism, which was a country-breaking Confucianism out of the court. He didn't know that Confucianism was sent back to the people by Emperor Wen's edict. Now that the Legalists have resurrected, the government of the Qin Dynasty will be straightened out within five years. However, he, the Minister of Rites who was regarded as Confucianism, was difficult to ascend to the sky if he wanted to go further. He had to find another way out. No matter how he looked at the generals in the Western Expedition, they were all worthy of serving.

The Lower Persians were very annoyed about such as the assassination. They believed that this was done by the Higher Persians, and the purpose was to prevent them from reaching a secret agreement with the Qin Dynasty. In this way, the half-hidden secret talks were completely made public, so the royal family and ministers of the Lower Persian had to reply Hong Yun as soon as possible that if the Higher Persian kings were summoned to the 200,000 army, they would lose this great opportunity to unify Persia.

Cui Hao used an assassination to facilitate all this, which was a small profit. In order to seize this great opportunity, the Persians, who made a quick decision, agreed to all the conditions without saying a word. They would pay 30 million gold tillions to the Qin Dynasty in exchange for the thank-you gifts for the Qin Dynasty to send troops, and would also be responsible for providing the logistics of the Lun Guarding Legion sent by the Qin Dynasty to Jerusalem, the Longcheng City.

Hong Yun dedicated a generous treaty to Chang'an, while Cui Hao followed him back to the river. He spent a lot of gold to build a spy system directly belonging to Li Ang in Persia. He should go back and report it carefully to Li Ang. In addition, he also felt that "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall." Zoroastrianism made him a little afraid.

In this way, the situation on the western front of Hezhong suddenly turned upside down. Li Ang, who received the message from Feiying, immediately launched a large army and took the path to directly kill the upper Persian camp. At this time, the lower Persian general Pargotes, who received the message from the royal capital, also used his troops to block the retreat of the upper Persians. At the same time, he also sent back the capital the situation of his sneak attack on the Qin army stronghold. However, Pargotes did not know that the Qin army he thought was only slightly stronger than Persia. In fact, it was Li Ang who ordered Li Cunxiao to deliberately let go of his sneak attack. If Li Cunxiao really showed his power, I am afraid that only half of his ten thousand men would be able to go back in the end.

After receiving the reply from Palgoids, the Persians, who could not help, immediately mobilized their troops and launched an attack on Persia. Unpredictable, the Persians suffered a great loss. The front line of the border was almost completely lost, except for a few important strongholds. At this time, the messenger sent by Gambiss escaped back to the capital in a panic. After knowing that they were being viciously stung by the Persians, the whole country of Persia was angry, but it was useless. Now their troops were short of strength, and the messengers asking for help from the border were forced to do so one after another.

Below, the King of Lower Persia had to send the troops he could mobilize to a few important strongholds on the border, and at the same time ordered people to send a message to Gambiss, asking him to try his best to hold back the 200,000 Persian troops blocking them, and at least to share the pressure for the king. Gambiss, who received such a reply, could only smile bitterly. His retreat was cut off, and the Qin and Lower Persians could trap him to death even if they were trapped. The consumption of the 200,000 army was amazing. All he could do now was to try to collect the food and grass in his current jurisdiction. As for the lives and death of the people, he couldn't care about it.

Facing Gambiss who could not stand, Li Ann did not seem impatient, but Palgoids, who led his troops to block the Persian retreat, could not sit still. He hoped that Li Ann would break Gambiss as soon as possible, so that he could free up his hands to attack the capital of Persia and complete the great cause of unifying Persia as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Li Ann ignored his urging and slowly built fortifications at his own pace, posing as a posture of fighting for a long time.
