"The saint, the prince has returned to the triumphant success and has arrived in the outskirts of Beijing!"

The Admiral Li Xian reported to the Imperial City Secretary.

As he was receiving Saman, the Persian ambassador to Qin, the situation of Persia against Rome was being reversed. Emperor Kuslao II urgently needed to obtain more bargaining chips from the Qin Dynasty to stabilize the situation and even get back to his disadvantages.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qin, as long as the Great Qin can deliver the Vanguard fleet to us in advance, we can immediately smash the Roman offensive and gain the upper hand again."

"The situation in Persia Sassania is very passive now." After hearing Li Xian's report, the emperor did not interrupt his conversation with the Persian ambassador.

Emperor Chiraclio was quite capable and deserved to be the founding king of the dynasty. When he was the first to succeed to the throne, Kuslao II took his brother-in-law, the Roman prince, back to Rome in the name of revenge for his father-in-law, and captured Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Armenia, Iberia, the Mesopotamia and other places, and directly attacked the hinterland of the Byzantine Empire from Asia Minor.

Especially in the 11th year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, after the Persian general Shahin captured Carlsiton in the Bospus Strait, he directly threatened Constantinople, the Byzantine capital opposite the strait.

At that time, Persia won over the Slavs and the Avals and began to attack Byzantium from the northwest. The attack of Chiraclio asked Kuss several times for summoning.

But more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Although Chiraclius was once facing a crisis of defeat, he survived. He implemented military reforms and divided Rome into several military regions. Each of them strengthened mobile combat and defensive forces, strengthened relations with the church, and received a lot of gold and silver funding from the church.

Not to mention that Chiraclio also formed alliances with the Turks and Bulgarians, etc.

The three Persian generals Shah Balíz, Shahin and Shapkan attacked Rome in succession, but were resisted by Chiraclio. After the conclusion of the Roman alliance between the Qin Dynasty last year, Rome took advantage of the trade with the Qin Dynasty and the economy improved. In addition, Rome borrowed money from the Qin Dynasty to purchase arms, so it led to Rome's counterattack.

Especially when the 100,000 light cavalry of the Turks and Khasa could devote all their efforts to the front-line battlefield of the Caucasus, the second counterattack battlefield of Rome was successfully opened up, and the situation reversed, and Rome truly entered the strategic counterattack stage.

The real turning point is coming this summer.

The Romans Priest Cergius defeated the siege of Constantinople of the Avals. They used a large number of Qin crossbows purchased from the Qin army to seriously injured the Avals in this battle, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

Then, Emperor Chiraclio, with the assistance of the Turkic commander Yehu Khan and Khasa Yehu, launched a counterattack, and they attacked Persia from the Caucasus.

Then, Emperor Chiraclio occupied Ganzak, a major military town in Persia, and destroyed the Arturgusnapu Fire Temple, one of the most important Zoroastrian temples of the Zoroastrian religion.

Emperor Kuss II had no choice but to retreat in a hurry with the holy fire. Rome and the Turkic army then defeated Sassanthemum again in the ancient city of Assyrian Nineveh, and ransacked the palaces of Dascar and others.

Now, Emperor Kussel II of the Persian Sassanid Empire fled to the capital Taixifeng in a very embarrassing manner, while the Roman army was chasing the victory and singing triumphant songs.

The situation has changed so badly.

Although Egypt, Syria and other places are still under the hands of Persia, their old nest capital is now about to be counterattacked by Rome.

More than a year ago, Persia planned to siege the Roman capital Constantinople by the Avas. But now he is about to taste the feeling of being surrounded by the capital.

But at this time, the Arab rebellion was getting stronger and stronger.

Persia is now suffering from internal and external troubles.

Persia hopes that the Qin Dynasty can help Persia. At least, it also hopes that the Qin Dynasty can come forward to help mediate the war between the two countries at this time. As long as Rome is willing to quit the war, Persia is even willing to pay Rome annual gold coins.

Persia was eager to truce because it was really embarrassing now. Kussel was worried about internal and external troubles. The Roman legion was about to come to the capital Taixi and blockade the city, but the governors from all over the country were not actively serving the king.

"If the Persian emperor hopes that the Qin Dynasty will mediate the war between Persia and Rome, but here I want to put forward a condition first, that is, Persia can return the captured sacred objects of the Roman real cross."

When Ambassador Saman heard this condition, hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. The True Cross was a holy object of the Roman Church and was seized after capturing the Holy City. However, compared to the current dilemma, this holy object is not worth mentioning.

"There is another one. Kuss II is old and a little confused. Under his leadership, Persian Sassanthesanthes has no future. The Qin Dynasty can help Persian Sassanthesanthes, but we hope to support a capable Persian Sassanthesanthes to better lead Persian Sassanthesanthes, and hope that this is an emperor who can be friendly with the Qin Dynasty."

"What does Your Majesty mean? Can you say it clearly?"

Luo Cheng gently tapped the imperial case.

"I know that many people in the Persian Sassanid country are dissatisfied with Emperor Kussel II. Rome marched into Taixifeng, but the governors and nobles from all over Persia are not actively serving the king, right?"

Saman nodded helplessly.

"I heard that the prince born to the emperor and the Roman princess Leah was quite good. The prestige among the nobles in China was not low, and the Romans also had a good impression of him. If he inherited the throne, then I believe that under his leadership, the Romans would definitely be willing to truce the war and make peace." The emperor smiled.

Samman could only be shocked now. He could not have imagined that the emperor knew so clearly about what happened in Persia.

"Why is the saint willing to support the prince?" Saman asked.

"I have seen this prince several times and I have a good impression of it." Luo Chengdao. In fact, Daqin had a lot of private contact with this prince, and he had even secretly supported this prince.

Under the current situation, the political situation in Persia's Sasansan is very complicated. There is a voice to overthrow Kusila II. Daqin is willing to support the prince to become emperor, but the condition is that after the prince becomes emperor, he will continue to be friendly with Daqin, maintain the sea and land Silk Road of Daqin, and give Daqin more benefits.

"I know, Ambassador Saman, you are also a prince, right?"

Saman nodded.

"How about it, are you willing to accept my suggestion?"

Samman nodded without hesitation, "Thanks to the emperor for his generosity, but how can we guarantee Rome's armistice?"

"Don't worry, I will mediate from it. As long as the prince's coup overthrows Kuss-II, becomes the new Persian emperor, and returns the real cross to Emperor Hiraclio and the church of Rome, then I can guarantee that Rome will quit the war and the two countries will negotiate peace."

"Of course, in addition to exchanging the real cross holy relics, Persia also needs to withdraw its territory from Edessa to Alexandria. The two countries exchange captives with each other, withdraw their troops and quit the war."

Saman asked, "What does Daqin need?"

"I heard that on the Arabian Peninsula on the Red Sea, an emerging force rose in Medina. They established the Islan Cult, fought against the Gulaisi nobles in Mecca several times, and became stronger and stronger, and won many battles. Now they are promoting the religion everywhere, uniting the surrounding tribes, expanding their influence, and are even preparing to attack Mecca."

Of course, Saman knew that this emerging force on the peninsula was controlled by Banber before, but now Persia only controls the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, and Yemen on the northeast end of the northern coast of the Red Sea to the south.
