Since the last Battle of Nehawande, Dashi took the initiative to propose peace talks. The Tang Dynasty considered that Qibian Heli and Xue Wanche led troops to fight for an expedition and the army was under too much logistical pressure, so it finally agreed to the peace talks. In the end, the two sides ceased to fight with Nehawande as the boundary, and the Persians also took the opportunity to restore the country, but most of their territory was occupied by the cannibals, and the current Persian territory was less than a quarter of its former territory.

After the war in Nehwand, the pace of Dashi's advancement east was finally blocked by the more powerful Dashi Tang Dynasty. However, Dashi did not stop expanding. For example, in the original Persian old land, the way to advance east was blocked, the Dashi army began to turn around and head south, and soon occupied the area south of Nehwand, that is, the southern region of Iran and Pakistan in later generations, which was adjacent to the Arabian Sea in later generations, and the easternmost end was bordered by Northern Tianzhu. Both sides were bounded by Xindu River. The so-called Xindu River is actually the Indu River located in Pakistan in later generations.

The southeast of Xindu River is Northern India, and Dashi quickly learned about the endless wars in Northern India, so the top leaders of Dashi are already studying whether to send troops to occupy Northern India? However, because their expansion speed is too fast and their military strength is no longer able to keep up, so they have not taken action for the time being.

It was also under this situation that Li Zhen and Li Yun, with the support of Li Yan, gathered a hundred thousand troops and invaded Northern Tianzhu with the force of sweeping thousands of troops. Along the way, they destroyed more than ten countries. When the other small countries saw that the wind was wrong, most of them chose to surrender. Many of them had long converted to the new Brahmins, so when they saw Li Zhen's army, they were ready to eat water to welcome the arrival of the army. Among these people, there were not only civilians, but also many administrative and religious aristocrats.

It was also under the crushing of absolute strength and the cooperation between the new Brahmins in the Northern India that Li Zhen's army was very fast in attack. Sometimes, even as soon as they arrived at the border of a small country, the other party was ready to surrender from top to bottom. In the end, it took only two and a half months before the entire Northern India had completely fallen into the hands of Li Zhen and Li Yun, and their Indian Empire finally deserved its name.

The cannibals had no time to react to Li Zhen and Li Yun's rapid actions. When they understood what happened, the entire Northern Tianzhu had become part of the Tianzhu Empire. On the east bank of the Xindu River, Li Zhen personally led a 50,000 army to be stationed there, and he had to practice every day. Especially the firearm troops among them. The cannibals on the other side of the river were awakened by the roar of artillery every morning.

What made the cannibal even more panic was that while training the troops, Li Zhen also transferred craftsmen to set up a shipbuilding factory by the river, built many small and medium-sized ships, and also soldiers also rode ships for landing training every day. It seemed that they could cross the river at any time.

The abnormal dynamics of the Indian Empire naturally attracted the attention of the high-level officials of the Dashi. At the same time, they were also very shocked that Li Zhen could swallow Northern India in one bite in such a short time. This forced them to start to face up to the strength of Li Zhen and Li Yun, and even elevated the Indian Empire, which they had been overlooking, to the same level as the Tang and Daqi.

That is, at the same time as the Indian Empire annexed Northern Tianzhu, the Tang Dynasty suddenly made a decision that even more panic. Several large troops stationed in the Western Regions began to march towards Persia in the West, with a total force of more than 60,000, plus the 40,000 troops led by Qieheli. By then, the total force stationed in Persia would reach 100,000.

At this critical moment, the Tang Dynasty increased its troops and echoed the Indian Empire, which made the Dashi think: Could it be that the Tang Dynasty and the Indians were preparing to join forces to deal with them, and might even regain the Persian homeland they had just occupied in one fell swoop?

If it were only one of India or the Tang Dynasty, the Dashi would not be too scared. After all, both of them have their own shortcomings. The Dashi was too far away from West Asia. No matter how strong their national strength was, it would not be possible to support too many troops to fight for a long time. The Tianshi was newly established and the country had not been completely pacified. Even if it was expanded, its strength would be very limited. But if the two countries joined forces, the energy generated would not be as simple as one plus one to two. At least the Dashi army in Persia would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Feeling the threat brought by the joint efforts of Tianzhu and the Tang Dynasty, the cannibals finally couldn't sit still. They began to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu to contact Li Shimin, Li Yun, Li Zhen and his son respectively. Even if they could not resolve the war through negotiation, they had to at least understand the other party's intentions.

However, just when the envoy of Dashi was sent out, a naval fleet sent by Li Yan appeared on the ground and sea south of the Dashi Peninsula. The navy of the thirty main warships did not just walk around and then go back, but landed in the Hafengjiao area, which is very close to the Dashi Peninsula, and it seemed that it was still preparing to station for a long time.

Here we want to explain the terrain of the Dashi Peninsula, which is the terrain of the Arabian Peninsula in later generations. The Red Sea is between the Dashi Peninsula and Africa. After moving southward, we enter the Gulf of Aden in later generations, which is located between the Dashi Peninsula and the Horn of Africa.

The so-called Horn of Africa is actually the Somalia Peninsula in later generations. Because its terrain is like a rhino horn, people vividly call it the Horn of Africa. At the top of the Horn of Africa, it is called Hafeng Kao. The navy sent by Li Yan landed in the Hafeng Kao area and also looked like it was stationed for a long time.

Hafengjiao is guarding the entrance to the Gulf of Aden, and its geographical location is very important. Although for some reasons, Hafengjiao has not been included in the ruling area by Dashi, in fact, many big cannibals have moved here, which has made Dashi have considerable dominance over Hafengjiao. However, when Li Yan's navy was anchored and stationed here, many big cannibals fled back to the Dashi Peninsula, which made the efforts of the big cannibals here vain for many years.

What's more serious is that after Li Yan's navy occupied Kafengjiao, it was too close to the Dashi Peninsula. Dashi's navy was no match for the Dashi Navy at all. In other words, Li Yan could drive warships to the Red Sea at any time, and even bombard Dashi's port city like Li Ke in the Iberian Peninsula.

In addition, Li Yan occupied Kafenka Kaewon and represented the first step in reaching his tentacles into the Suez Canal. In the future, it is likely to penetrate into the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden and extend step by step towards the Suez Canal. This canal, which has just been opened for less than ten years, has become one of the important financial sources of Dashi, so they will never allow any mistakes in the Suez Canal.

However, at this time, the upper class of Dashi had already smelled a bad smell. The land was facing the double pressure from the Tang Dynasty and the Indians. Now even Li Yan's Daqi Navy came to get a kick. Moreover, the three kingdoms came from the same source. In layman's terms, it was Li Shimin, the father, who took three sons to fight Dashi. Moreover, the strength of these three kingdoms was extremely strong. Even if it was a single-on-one match, Dashi would not have the confidence to win, let alone now it was still three-for-one.

In this case, Dashi finally felt a fear of facing a critical moment of life and death. While strengthening their military equipment, they actively contacted the Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, hoping to avoid this war through negotiations. Even if they paid a certain price, they were willing. After all, who would let the four men beat them?

Regarding the envoys sent by Dashi, Li Yan, Li Yun and Li Zhen all chose to avoid them and only gave the envoy a word, that was, to ask them to go to Chang'an to talk to Li Shimin. As their sons, they just obeyed the orders, and everything needed to be decided by the mother of Datang.

This attitude towards Li Yan and the other two made Dashi confirm his previous speculation. This matter was indeed dominated by the Tang Dynasty, and the three countries united to take action against them.

After understanding this, Dashi immediately sent several heavyweight envoys to Datang, and they took the sea route. They first arrived in Tianzhu, and then took a very fast steamship. This seemed to be much further than taking the land route, but because the steamship was very fast, it still saved a lot of time in the end.

After finally reaching Chang'an, these envoys immediately made a request for peace talks to Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin deliberately left the envoys of big food for half a month before meeting them, and his attitude was lukewarm, which further increased the psychological burden of big cannibals.

In fact, from the moment the envoy of Dashi arrived in Chang'an, Li Yan's plan to threaten Dashi had been almost done. On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty dispatched troops to Persia, and on the other hand, Li Shimin came forward to negotiate with Dashi. As for Li Zhen and Li Yun, they also did a good job in Xindu River. The remaining Li Yan took the initiative to attack and occupied the throat of the big cannibal, the big cannibal. This gathered sea and land strength of the Three Kingdoms made Dashi feel a huge threat in all directions.

Although the Great Cannibal also suspected that this was the bravado of the Tang Dynasty, they did not dare to gamble. After all, it was already related to the life and death of the Great Cannibal. If it really angered the Tang Dynasty and led to the outbreak of the war, then the consequences would definitely not be borne by anyone.

It is precisely because of this that the envoy of Dashi was very respectful when facing Li Shimin and even took the initiative to propose that some land could be returned in the Persian region to avoid the outbreak of war.
