Replacing Him
Chapter 1196:Replacing Him
Bachra is not Li Hugh's friend, at most can only be called an acquaintance, because Li Hugh has not seen each other in a total, but even a few short meetings, but also let Li Hugh found that Bachra is definitely not a simple person, but did not expect him to start so fast, just a few years has become the hero of Persia, to know that there is no king in Persia, in the future he has the strength to claim the throne.
Now Bachra holds the military power and has accumulated a considerable reputation, this time he suddenly sent Zamas to the Tang Dynasty, certainly not a simple exchange, but want to get something from the Tang, so Li Hue also became serious at this time.
Sure enough, Zamas hesitated at this time, and then quickly looked up: "Your Highness, Bahra does not really have much ambition, he originally only wanted to save Persia from the hands of the big cannibal, after all, Persia is our motherland, but now because of General Kavad's suspicion, his situation is getting worse and worse, in this case, he also had to find a way to protect himself, and now can help him only."
"Zanamas, I don't see that you are here to listen to these scenes, Bachra said it directly if he asks for anything, I don't like people and me to circle!"Li Huo heard that there was a look here, Zamas said so much, but there was no substance at all, which made him a little impatient.
Seeing that Li Huo was not happy, Zamas was also stunned at the moment, because he thought that Bachra had told him before, the Tang people did not like to talk about the problem too clearly, but did not expect to almost provoke the Grand Duke, but he soon also thought of Bahra telling him that this Yan Guojun Highness was not an ordinary person, which made him quickly realize his mistake.
"His Highness is angry, because Bachra told me before, let me come to the Tang to be cautious, because we do not know the attitude of the Grand Duke, but he is very respected by His Royal Highness, so let me first come to the Grandfather of the Kingdom to discuss this matter, and even before I saw the emperor's majesty, I did not disclose any news to the emperor."
Zamas first apologized, then paused and then continued: "Now Bahra's situation is very bad, he was still thinking of reconciliation with Kavard, but then he found that Kavad is a narrow-minded person, he can not tolerate him, if not a big cannibal threat, I am afraid that someone will kill him, so now Bahra is also dead of this heart, in order to protect himself, he is only the last way, that is to kill Kavard instead!"
“Substituted for?”Finally heard Zamas say the real idea of Bahrah, Li Huu showed a deep smile, and then this faintly said, "Although I do not know the specific situation of your Persian now, but the Kavad can escape the Persian king to our Tang Dynasty, I am afraid not a simple person, and he has been operating in Persia for many years, must also be deeply rooted, and the rise of Bachra is only a few years, he really has the strength to shake the rule of Kavad?" 」
In the face of Li Hugh's doubts, Zamas can't help but be surprised, because Li Heo guessed well, although Bahra's rise was very rapid, but after all, the foundation was unstable, and the influence in Persia was still not comparable to Kavad, so he tried to find assistance from the outside world, and Datang was his first goal.
Only saw Zamas at this time a deep breath, then this said: "The Grand Duke said well, compared to Kavard, Bahr is now in a weak position, but Bahra can not only represent himself, behind him there is a family with great influence in Persia, Bahrah's family runs several business teams, all year round and forth between the Tang and Persians business, which also allows them to accumulate huge wealth, in addition to the Bahrah family, there are many people in the army or local, can be said to have money, the reason is that the Bahla family is not afraid to do it.The power.”
Speaking of this, Zamarston then said: "In addition to the Bahra family, there is a very important force in Persia, this power source is complex, I do not know how to explain in Chinese, but the Grand Duke can understand your Tang's civilian group, Kavad is the military commander, he now holds the power, but the other important ministers of Persia have been expelled from the power center, such as sacrifice, businessmen, etc., so that the military can hold the power of Persia, which makes many people very dissatisfied with him."
"Oh?"Yes, there is a powerful family behind the support, and a group of fallen Persian nobles and merchants support, it seems that Bahrah is very popular.Li Xie listened to Zamas's words and couldn't help but smile again.
“It is not only the aristocracy that Bahrah has a higher reputation among the commoners, because his army, unlike the ordinary Persian army, never robs the property of the common people, and this is also a matter of learning from the army of the Central Plains, which is very strict in military discipline, which also won the hearts of ordinary people, but it is one of the main reasons why Kavad is determined to get rid of him.”Zamas said again, even when he mentioned Bahr, his eyes also burst into the eyes of a geek.
Li Huo may not be able to appreciate Zamas's current mood, as a scholar who is proficient in historiography, Zamas also has a very deep feeling for Persia, but these years, the Persians are constantly worried about the people, which makes him very painful, and he does not like the way of Kavad's reign, thought that Persia has no hope, but did not expect his former student Bahra suddenly rise, which makes him as if he saw a glimmer of light in the dark, so he will not help him.
"Well, I know now about Bahrah's in Persia, but I'm curious as to what he's sent you to Don?"Li Heo asked again, although he knew that Bahra was looking for the help of the Tang, but he could not understand that the Tang seemed to be able to provide no help to Persia, after all, the two sides were too far away, but Rome was close to the influence of Persia even more.
"Why should the Grand Duke's Highness knowingly ask, Bahra naturally wanted to seek the support of the Tang, and Bakhla told me that in order to seek the help of the Grand Duke, he must first convince His Royal Highness, and then the Grand Duke's Highness to persuade His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the last time I wanted to discuss this matter with you, but there were Romans, and this matter Bachra did not want the Romans to know, so I had to wait until today to see you again."Zamas was also laughing at the time.
"Zamas, I think Bachla didn't misunderstand anything, although we helped you last time, but it just didn't want to see Persia destroyed by a big food, as for who ruled within Persia, we don't care much, so he wants us to help him down Kavard, we don't seem to have any reason to help him?" 」Li Hugh said at this time, he seemed to laugh.
"There is no free lunch in the world, Bachra also knows this truth, if the Tang can help us, then when Bahra takes control of Persia, when the Tang's goods pass through Persia, we will also receive only a 10% tax, and ensure their safety in Persia, if the Tang is worried about our destruction, I can sign a covenant with the Tang on behalf of Bahrah, if I break this covenant, I will be rejected by the god of light!"Zama was very serious again.
Persia believes in the god of fire, also known as the god of light, the king of Persia has the power and the divine power, and the god of light has a great influence in the Persians, if the Persians make a vow with the god of light, even if it is death, it will not betray.
On this Silk Road, in addition to the sinister natural environment, the biggest difficulty is the road, and the biggest difficulty is the road, and the ancient tax is extremely heavy, some are almost snatched, the tax is higher than the value of the goods themselves, which also leads to a cargo shipped to the destination, often rose several times or even a dozen times the price, and Persia only collected a hundred times, this tax can be said to be quite low.
I saw Li Huo meditating for a while, and finally looked up and said, "Your offer is very attractive, but I can't think of anything."
“What is it?”Zamas heard Li Hugh's words as well.
"It is very simple, you are saying that you want to seek the help of our Tang, but the Tang is so far away from your Persians, even if we can support Bahrah, I am afraid that the strength of support is very limited, at most to support you a batch of weapons and materials, and the thousands of miles of transportation in the past, it is very inconvenient, and this weapon material for you, the help is very limited."
At this point, Lee Hugh paused for a moment and then said, “By contrast, Rome is too close to you, so I think you should be most seeking help from Rome, and if His Majesty Cahracist in Rome can support Bahra, then your odds of victory over Cavad are even greater.”
Hearing these words above Li Huo, I saw that Zamas first nodded in favor, but then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness said it well, compared to the distant Tang, Rome's influence on us is also greater, in fact, I and Bahra at the beginning, did want to seek Rome's help, but then there was a problem, which made us have to turn to the help of the Tang!" 」
