    ?

    Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Your Excellency Waldo, are you here on behalf of Persia?"

    "yes!"

    Waldo said sternly: "I come to Chang'an now to represent the Persian country. And I came because my Persian country saw the strength of the Xia country and needed to suppress it. Especially the current Tang Dynasty is not inferior to the Xia country.  So the two of us can become allies and attack Xia together."

    When Fang Xuanling heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

    Alliance of two countries.

    Attack Du Qi's country of Xia together.

    ?As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling is not a fledgling person, he knows the interests between countries.  If Persia is not driven by interests, it is impossible to unite with Datang.  In addition, if Persia really wanted to attack Xia, it could attack alone, even if it didn't unite with Tang Dynasty, it would have no effect.

    Therefore, after Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while, he already had a judgment in his heart.  He smiled slightly, and said: "Your Excellency Waldo, Persia must have needs. Tell me, what conditions does Persia need, and we will jointly attack Xia. If Persia didn't ask for it, it would not want to fight with me."  Tang Lianhe. Because at this time, Persia united with Datang to attack Xia, which is tantamount to sharing the pressure for Datang."

    When Waldo heard this, he froze for a moment, because Fang Xuanling saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.

    See through what he wants.

    Waldo smiled and said: "President Fang is indeed the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is indeed powerful."

    Fang Xuanling said: "What do you want?"

    Waldo said: "My country of Persia needs the formula and production method of gunpowder, as long as Datang gives this weapon. Then, my country of Persia will send troops to attack the country of Xia. At that time, my country of Persia and the country of Tang will jointly send troops.  Xia Guo is powerful, but in the end, Du Qi will definitely not be able to withstand our attacks."

    After Fang Xuanling heard it, he sneered and said: "Your Excellency really has a good appetite, and you want the formula of gunpowder as soon as you open your mouth. Why don't you go to Xia Guo and ask Du Qi for it!"

    Waldo said: "If Du Qi is willing to give it, I, Persia, would have sent troops with Xia Guo long ago."

    Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, then said: "I can't reply you immediately on this matter, I need to ask His Majesty for instructions."

    Waldo said: "Actually, this matter is a big one. I believe that the Minister of the Household must not be able to make a decision. Therefore, I beg the Minister of the Household to take me into the palace. I want to enter the palace to meet the Emperor and talk to the Emperor.  This matter."

    Fang Xuanling said: "Okay, I will take you into the palace."

    He has some understanding of the situation in Persia, which is a big country in the west.

    The strength is not weak.

    It would be great if Persia was willing to send troops.

    Fang Xuanling took Waldo out of Fang's house and went straight into the palace.  When he arrived outside the palace, he asked for an audience. Li Shimin let Fang Xuanling in, while Waldo waited outside the palace temporarily.

    When Fang Xuanling saw Li Shimin, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty!"

    Li Shimin said: "Xuanling doesn't need to be too polite. You have just returned to the palace not long ago. Could it be that you have already thought of a way to break the current deadlock?"

    Fang Xuanling said seriously: "Your Majesty, I haven't thought of a solution yet. But there is one thing that does involve a war with Du Qi, so I will report it immediately."

    Li Shimin said: "What's the matter?"

    Now the war with Xia Guo is already Li Shimin's heart disease.  The Great Tang fought repeatedly and suffered countless losses. It would be a bit militaristic to call up the government soldiers again now.  Because in such a short period of time, successive conscriptions are a huge burden on the common people, so Li Shimin has always been worried about this matter.

    Fang Xuanling immediately talked about Waldo's matter, and also said that Waldo's demand was gunpowder. After talking about Waldo's situation, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, it is very important for us to give gunpowder to Persia.  , It is equivalent to giving a secret weapon and funding the growth of Persia. Of course, the advantage is that after Persia has gunpowder, it can attack Du Qi with us. It is difficult to rely solely on us, but with Persia, the destruction  Du Qi has a chance. The only problem is that once Du Qi is destroyed, then we may go to war with Persia next."

    Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said, "Xuanling, what's the matter? As long as it can destroy Du Qi, even if you give him the formula and production method of gunpowder, that's fine. Persia is far away in the far west.  Our threat is very small. But now the threat brought by Du Qi has already threatened the stability of Datang. If Du Qi's threat is not resolved now, Datang is in danger. So now, as long as Du Qi can be destroyed,  Then even ifp; When Khuslao II was killed, it was his son Kawad II who rebelled, but Khuslao II's youngest son, Kasd, occupied a fief in the easternmost part of the Persian Empire  of.

    Custer's age is about twenty years old.

    Very enterprising spirit.

    And Kasde has always been committed to restoring the glory of the Persian Empire, so that the Persian Empire can regain its former glory.  Originally, Kasde wanted to annex Jie Japan, but Du Qi's appearance broke all this.

    With the strength of Kasde, he couldn't even annex the Jieri Kingdom, let alone deal with Du Qi, so he never took any action.  It's just that after the war between Du Qi and Datang, Kasde sent his counselor Waldo to Chang'an of Datang to play by ear.

    Waldo saw the power of gunpowder and knew that Datang also had such weapons.  Therefore, he made a decisive request at this time, hoping to form an alliance with Datang in exchange for the gunpowder of Datang.

    On the one hand, Xia Guo needs to contain it.

    On the other hand, Kasde also needed gunpowder if he wanted to reverse the decadent situation of the Persian Empire, restore chaos, and even overthrow Kawad¡¯s rule.  With gunpowder to equip the army, Kasde's strength can be greatly improved.

    This is Waldo's plan.

    With a happy expression on Waldo's face, he ordered again: "Kate, make arrangements, we are going to return. The Western Regions are now at war, and we have to hurry back. But after Du Qi wins Datang and defeats Datang  I'm afraid it will also attack Prince Cusd. We must hurry up and not delay any longer."

    Kate said seriously: "Please rest assured, Mr. Waldo, everything is ready. You can take action at any time."

    Waldo said: "Go and make arrangements, we will set off next."

    "yes!"

    After Kate agreed, she turned around to make arrangements.

    In a short time, Waldo took Kate and his party, more than 30 people set off.  This was pretending to be a caravan. The team quickly left Chang'an City and headed west.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
