Chapter 679 Arabs
There is nothing wrong with following the customs in the countryside. This is originally a tradition of other civilizations. Although it is said that it is more expensive to be a mercenary, it cannot be done in vain. There is always a little price to do things. Sima Ji led the Xianbei Jurchens to share the casualties, and also had to handle special tasks to give them the opportunity to become rich.
"This army of kings is the elite of a country, just like your Persian immortal army. No one in the world is qualified to hire except for my Emperor Jin and I. I believe that the nobles of Taixifeng also understand this. After all, I came from Khorasan!" Sima Ji, with a harmless smile on his face, tempted, "There are Alan in the north, Arabs in the southwest, and Rome in the west. Persia and I, the great Jin, will be combined and will be divided into two harms. Do you even understand this principle when you are in charge of the center?"
Wandat's expression tightened, as if he was in the middle of thinking. Sima Ji was right. But how long did the other party have been here and how could he inquire about the movements around Persia so clearly? Naturally, he didn't know that his opponent had a map of the Eurasian continent in his mind, what geographical environment was prone to foreign enemies, and what methods were there to crack it? Sima Ji was familiar with the road.
"There is an empire in the west of Persia!" Wandat was interrupted by Sima Ji as soon as he spoke, and said with an unpleasant expression, "I just said to help the Persian Empire solve internal problems. Isn't it a long journey to go to war with a great empire. As a Persian noble, isn't it not appropriate to deceive guests like this?"
A great empire in the west of Persia? Sima Ji knew that Wandat was talking about the Roman Empire. Not to mention hiring himself with money, even if Persia emptied the treasury, he would not be bribed. He thought so beautifully that some external things wanted him to help Persia destroy the enemy. Sima Ji was so confused that he would do such a thing that would destroy the balance.
Wandat was a little embarrassed. If Rome was easy to deal with, Persia would have destroyed the Roman Empire. How could he talk about the great enemy of life and death? If he thought about it carefully, he felt that his thoughts were a little too much, too wishful thinking.
"The king doesn't know where to go next? I will go back to the imperial capital to discuss with the nobles, and I will give a reply soon." Wandat now generally knows Sima Ji's purpose. At least the other party is not going to fight the Persian Empire to the death. Although it is a bit humiliating to think so, it is indeed a good thing, if you don't consider the tragic situation of Khorasan.
"I want to go west. You'd better inform the Persian central center of the country. I won't be stopped by anyone when I go west. No matter what resistance there is, I will not be willing to happen for the second time about Sogdian king." Sima Ji seemed to have spoken regretfully, but is this regret that Sogdian king has too little treasure or that he should have obtained more? Only God knows, "By the way, I don't know whether to tell my identity until now."
"I am the queen's younger brother!" Wandat hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth to show his sincerity.
It turned out to be from the foreign relatives group, but this is normal. After all, the Persian Empire is now in the hands of the rear tribe. Wandat is now included in the Persian Jia family in Sima Ji's eyes. He waved his hand and asked his personal guard to send the other party out of the camp. Sima Ji smiled and walked out of the tent and watched the other party leave.
"King Yan, it seems that the Persians have no malice." Tang Qiang said softly, "At least it wasn't seen from this person, it seems that they had no intention of starting another war."
"It seems that there is a possibility that Rome will only be cheaper after a bloody battle. But you should be careful. These are two things." Sima Ji moved his neck with a little soreness. "As for whether there is any malice, it is now between the two, but after we leave, this matter is for sure."
Once the Western Expedition is over, Sima Ji estimated that his reputation will rise to a higher level and spread throughout the Eurasian continent. But if this reputation is found, it is estimated that in the eyes of these other countries, it should be similar to Fu Manchu.
Fu Manchu is a tall and thin person with a tall shoulder, raised eyebrows, and two sagging beards. His face is abominable. It represents the feeling that the yellow people are so smart and evil, kind and simple white people can only fight against them in the most painful way.
This image is so successful, it is the image of Middle East Asia in Huang Peru, but Sima Ji had to say something about Europe. At that time, Europeans believed that the enemy was actually Indians. A widely circulated picture of resisting the East was a dragon wrapped around the Buddha statue, crossing the sea to attack Europe.
It is estimated that Europe did not expect that India would let down their worries at that time. Modern India was obviously not as good as ancient India. In terms of image, Sima Ji did not judge Fu Manchu, but when China was the most depressed, he could still regard China as a great enemy. It can only be said that Europe is not stupid, but not smart, so he made a mistake in judging India.
Fu Manchu was knowledgeable and talented, just like Faust, with all scientific knowledge in one. He was a super genius, with three degrees of study and a language genius. He was able to fluently use all civilized languages and the languages of most barbaric nations... Facing the Chinese, he spoke Chinese, facing the Indians, he spoke Indians, and when he met the Egyptians, he immediately changed to Arabic. A man with great talent and wisdom is equal to heaven.
Fu Manchu's biggest plan was to lead Asian countries that had become colonies at that time, and even further attack Europe. Considering the environment at that time, it is not an exaggeration to make fun of being a national hero online.
"I seem to be on the Western Expedition?" Sima Ji pinched his waist and thought that he seemed to be able to speak Xianbei. He was not proficient in Persian, but he could communicate easily. It was also considered a three-language language. He dare not say that his talent must be better than the ancients, but the ancients did not understand it, and he could roughly understand what the ancients understood.
After thinking about it, the King of Yan felt that if a person could do this like him, fight abroad and give such glory to the Central Plains dynasty like this, then it would probably be this image in the eyes of the victims. My hero, my enemy, and my enemy.
Now Sima Ji comes to the door with a knife, and it depends on where the Persians are going to lead his knife. In addition to the Roman Empire, he probably has several targets in his mind. It seems that the Persian emperor was ambushed to death by the Arabs.
Sure enough, during the second negotiation, Wandat also appeared again, but the Persian nobles who came here obviously had a much stronger lineup. On the premise of avoiding bloody battles, since this Eastern army expressed their willingness to help. He was working on the method of taking the minority of the two ministers' power and using the strategy of expelling tigers and swallowing wolves, the Persian nobles felt it was reasonable.
Sima Ji didn't know why this strategy was within the scope of conspiracy and intrigue. It might have inherited the tradition of Sima family, and it seemed that it was always clear that he learned without a teacher.
That made the Persians think they were smart, and Sima Ji pretended to be ignorant, and he looked at the fire. Anyway, the destination he imagined was not yet here, and he really wanted to compensate for the behavior that weakened Persian national strength, and at the same time he also made some extra money.
"Wandat, but are they brave in the Arabs you mentioned?" Sima Ji knocked on the table, looking unknown, just because he had heard of knowledge, but he didn't know the depth of the other party.
"That's not a question of whether they are brave or not. They are really rare and indescribable." Wandat said and gestured, feeling a kind of earnestness that he would never give up until he achieved his goal.
"The five hundred thousand Roman gold coins, the captured property and women belong to the Jin army. I can send troops to help you eliminate the rebellious Arabs. Don't think it's expensive. If you think about the stability of the country, countless taxes will come. This is the price of conscience!" Sima Ji stretched out five fingers, but these five fingers were so unacceptable in front of the Persian nobles.
Even if the country is unstable, it will not be able to take out only 500,000 gold coins, right? Although it was Roman gold coins, looking at the faces of these Persian nobles, Sima Ji also muttered in his heart, and the idea of turning into a Mongolian expedition began to appear again.
