Asmin, who had been suffering under tremendous mental pressure for several days, finally came to her senses, calmed down a little, and calculated the time her mother country had.
The final calculation result is one month.
A month later, Rome will definitely take some action, and the victim of this "action" can definitely be Persia.
The reason couldn't be simpler. Although it was much easier for Rome to send troops to the war-torn areas of the peninsula than the Tang Empire, it was still a laborious expedition after all.
Since it was an expedition, how could the Roman generals, nobles, and those who led the troops just give up? They did not grab any property. In the war-torn areas of the peninsula, there were only vicious bandits and half-dead hungry people, and there was no oil or water.
Now the big target, the Tang Empire, cannot fight for the time being. On the one hand, this is because of the Tang Empire... Assuming that the Tang Empire has not rushed over, on the other hand, it is also because of the barriers encountered by the Tang Empire when it sends troops to the war-torn peninsula, and the Roman legions will also encounter
.
The emperor of Rome would face the cost pressure of laboring for an expedition, while the legion commanders, nobles and generals would be furious because they would have no money to send troops.
At this time, is it possible for the Roman legions to think of ways to attack the grass valley? Impossible...
So one month is the remaining time that Persia has.
At this point in time, Asmin also realized more and more... that her original promise to Li Sheng to cooperate with the Tang Empire's actions and start a fight with Rome was actually such a major decision.
It was also at this moment that Asmin really felt that she...
Maybe, as my father said, I'm not mature enough?
If this matter becomes a pot, it will be too heavy...
Completely, I can’t imagine how I can take the blame for this...
At this time, Asmin slowly realized... that she might not be qualified to "friend" Li Sheng at all.
But at this time, Asmin knew that there was nothing more she could do, and all she could do now was observe.
Observe the movements of all pedestrians coming and going around Lingzhou City!
How the Tang Empire's armies moved, their trajectories and routes were not something I could find out, but...
As long as the Tang Empire was indeed prepared to cross the barrier and confront or fight the Romans, then at least they must prepare enough food.
As for moving troops in that direction, there is no need to guess the food transportation route. It must be the Lingzhou road!
Yes, you can't know the route of the army, but there is no secret about the route of grain and grass. This place in Lingzhou...
There wasn't much fertile farmland around, it was all cold wasteland. This was originally a semi-plateau area, and it was originally the most barren place in the Tang Empire.
The prosperity of Lingzhou was forcibly established by the emperor and ministers of the Tang Empire, as well as the most critical figure-Li Sheng.
Asmin could immediately understand that the Tang Empire did this for the sake of stability in non-core territories... but none of that mattered at this time.
The important thing is that the grain output in the northwest region of the Tang Empire was very average. If they wanted to go out to fight, military grain must be mobilized from the southern states and counties.
When mobilizing food, we must go in the direction of Lingzhou, because from the core area of the empire to the northwest region, only the roads in Lingzhou are fully constructed.
But it's a pity...
During this time, Asmin would come to the restaurant in the southeast corner of the city every morning, take a seat on the top floor and observe the people passing by.
Business and services in Lingzhou are developing rapidly. Restaurants and tea shops have already had the idea of setting up seats in the open air on the top floor - although Asmin is the only one who comes to sit down, drink tea and read before dawn every morning.
people.
Asmin comes here every morning in the early morning, and then comes again in the evening after finishing classes at the college, and sits until late at night.
Doing this for a long time... Because even in Lingzhou, which is located in the northwest, beautiful women of Persian descent are very rare, so they naturally attracted a lot of attention. Of course, the person who is most familiar with Asmin is the bartender in this shop.
A little girl.
Asmin came to the top floor of this restaurant every day, obviously to study, but actually to observe all the business trips in the past. As time went by, the little girl serving the wine naturally became curious and asked the elder sister why she was in a daze...
Are you waiting for your lover?
Asmin couldn't laugh or cry when she asked this question, what a god-like lover... But from another perspective, it really can be considered that way.
What Asmin looks forward to most now is that Li Sheng, whose whereabouts have become more and more mysterious recently, and who doesn't even stay at the institute, appears from the southern road with a large amount of food, grass and weapons.
But Asmin was not in the mood to joke with the waitress, so she could only wave her hands away irritably——
Half a month has passed. Counting the early morning of this day, it is half a month and a quarter of a day...
But on the road to the south, there is still only a vast expanse of white snow...
Asmin became more and more anxious. As time went by, her heart kept falling in like a stone sinking into the water...
But there was no way. There were no traces of vehicles or horses on the road to the south!
The white goose feather snow seems to be burying everything, and it keeps accumulating deeper and deeper on the road, accumulating thicker and thicker...
And as time went by, Asmin's heart gradually became more and more unable to bear it.
If this continues...no matter whether the Tang Empire intends to keep its promise or not, something will happen!
If the Tang Empire doesn't intend to keep its word, then... it's over.
If he failed in his bet, Persia would definitely be severely weakened and might even be in danger of annihilation.
This is what gambling on life is like. Winning the bet will naturally be the pinnacle of life, but once the bet is lost...it is said that there will be no catastrophe, and it will definitely not be only nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!
In addition to the heavy snow, only the road seemed to be under construction not far away. Someone was constantly transporting gravel and laying it on the wasteland, then placing wood and setting up thick iron bars...
I don't know what he is doing.
Asmin noticed this group of people very early, and gradually approached Lingzhou from a very far away place, and there was also the same thing in the north——
Of course, Asmin didn't know what they were doing specifically - the Tang Empire was so powerful that they didn't panic at all about digging pits. Anyway, they had the confidence to fill the pits, so they just started planning whatever projects they wanted.
But Persia doesn't have the capital. Once this military cooperation goes wrong, Rome's military strength... is a player who can fight against the Arab terror army.
Even according to what Asmin learned and what her father and cabinet ministers investigated, Rome did not use all its strength to fight against Arabia because Rome had been in a state of civil strife for a relatively long period of time.
In other words, since Rome is going to attack the Tang Empire this time, it must be a heavy blow... The problem now is that the heavy blow might hit Persia.
