Chapter 943 The troops and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first
The moment she saw the horse club rider, Asmin didn't even know how to describe her excitement.
And within this great excitement, there was also great fear, and Asmin was extremely nervous.
just in case……
But don't take any chances...don't take any chances.
Asmin even thought about it, that the riders from the Horse Club simply failed to reach Persia, and the letter was not sent out at all - this kind of "in case" was okay, at least she could feel much more relaxed, and it was not her fault that the letter was not sent out.
pot.
But besides this, there are other possibilities.
What if the riders of the horse society are intercepted by bandits on the way? Or the meaning conveyed in the letter is not accurate enough, the father sends the army in the wrong direction, or there is a direct fight with Rome... My own meaning and Li Sheng's proposal are all stated.
Just send more troops to the north to put pressure on Rome.
In a direct fight, it is obvious that the Tang Empire would not suffer any losses, but Persia would definitely suffer a catastrophe. The Romans could fight against the Arabs for so many years, and they were definitely not vegetarians.
In her anxiety, Asmin began to blame herself for not copying a copy of the letter when she wrote the letter. Although it was useless, at least she could check her words to reassure herself...
But no matter what your mood is.
War waits for no one, but the reply came anyway.
The content... did not surprise Asmin, not at all.
My father followed his instructions and sent more troops to the north.
And the content of the reply was quite gratifying, because my father did not just send troops directly, but to attack the bandits near the northern border - that place was war-torn all year round, and there were people from all walks of life, and the most important thing was bandits.
The reason for fighting against robbers is very reasonable!
Since this dispatch of troops will definitely arouse the attention and resentment of Rome, after all, this time it is done in response to the wishes of the Tang Empire. But there is a reason to attack and suppress the bandits, at least in the face of Rome's anger
When the time comes, if I can have an explanation from my side... I can delay it a little bit.
My father, the cabinet ministers, and Grandpa Ibti still worked hard.
But all this... only made Asmin feel unspeakably anxious.
Yes, the delivery went smoothly and the riders from the horse club came and went safely.
My father received the letter and followed his own advice, and everything went smoothly.
In the end, they even made some clever maneuvers to minimize the risks that Persia itself faced while abiding by the agreement with the Tang Empire.
But just because it went so smoothly, and the handling of the matter by my father and the cabinet made me feel a little bit lucky, it was making me uneasy.
Is there such a good thing in the world? No...
The weakness of a country does not necessarily mean that the country is not smart, but if a country is very strong, it must mean that there are many people in the country who are smart.
It is impossible for the Romans not to see that the encirclement and suppression of bandits were just reasons. In fact, they were just out to stroke the tiger's beard in a role similar to a vulture.
Even if you don't realize it for a while, you will soon understand it, not to mention that since the Romans are leading troops... No matter what reason Persia uses, they will at least consider the safety and survival of the army.
So... Just when I was about to use troops against a place, I noticed that other countries suddenly began to concentrate their forces. At this time, any reason would only be regarded as an excuse. It was bound to be hostile. It was nothing more than Persia's finding a reason to fight against the bandits.
To send troops, the Romans might take some time to think of a reason to tell the Persian army to get out of here.
Asmin immediately thought of this reason. Fighting bandits? The Romans will take care of it. Let's go - with civil or military force?
As long as the Romans give this response, Persia will probably have no choice but to fall out with the Romans...
Unless she betrays her promise, Asmin understands her father, the cabinet, and Grandpa Ibti.
Persia is different from the various tribes in Arabia or the Balkan Peninsula. It is an ancient civilization and knows how valuable credit is. Their subsequent choices will most likely lead to darkness...
After all, according to the plan, Persia was originally going to fall out with Rome, and its role in the Tang Empire was to contain Rome.
Then this time...
It has been two months since my father received the letter.
Two months’ time…
"You can let a light cavalry walk from Persia to the territory of the Tang Empire..."
"Then, based on the scope of Persia, maybe...at this time, my father has already sent his army to the north of Persia."
Then, the dispute has already begun.
Asmin could even imagine that the envoys from the Romans might have seen their father and began to question you. Why is a small border country interfering in such a far away place when it has nothing to do? Don't tell you that the legion of tens of thousands of people is really just to encircle and suppress bandits. I
But it is very clear...
But Asmin had no way of knowing the specific information. She could only wait and see what happened. After all, it was far away from Persia and the Balkans.
However, Lingzhou is... very close to the Anxi Protectorate.
Asmin had no way of understanding the size of the Roman legion, their current action plan and location, but she could understand the general direction of action and the size of the Tang Empire's army!
…
"The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first..."
Asmin stood on the top floor of a building in the south of Lingzhou City, looking far away at the vast wilderness in three directions: south, south, north and south.
Since she was worried about her mother country, Asmin stayed up all night for a few days after receiving the reply. Naturally, she came up with the idea of checking the movements of the Tang Empire's army first.
Yes, I did not have the conditions to inquire about the movements of the Roman army, but the safety of Persia did not only depend on Rome. The key was whether the Tang Empire's army could cross the barriers of the plateau and mountains as soon as possible and enter the war-torn areas of the Balkan Peninsula.
If the Tang Empire's army is delayed, then the mother country will be in real danger. No matter where the Roman army is at this time, but...
Asmin estimated that about a month would be enough for the Roman envoy to make a round trip from the war-torn peninsula to Persia after she returned from meeting the horsemen and received the reply to her father's letter.
And this month, after this negotiation...
It should be enough to make the Romans angry. After all, no matter what they thought about the Tang Empire or the war-torn peninsula, at least they should have noticed the barrier of the plateau and mountains... between the war-torn peninsula and the Tang Empire.
Since the possibility of a direct confrontation with the Tang Empire was low, it was the most reasonable decision to first sweep aside Persia, which was obviously waiting for the snipe and the clam to fight in order to benefit the fishermen.
