Chapter 65 Idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter

When Justinian heard the last news, he had an unknown premonition in his heart and hurriedly asked, "What are they doing in Hangu Pass?"

The news that Tuqi Shi only knew about it and did not give a satisfactory answer.

But Justinian must not ignore it.

Their Byzantine forced the Arab Empire to hold on and had no insignificant thoughts about the Western Regions.

It was because I came to Chang'an that I learned that my old enemy Arab sent Mosremasa to the Tang Dynasty that I was thinking of making friends with the Tang Dynasty.

Because they were worried that the Arabs and the Tang Dynasty would join forces to deal with them and Tuqishi respectively.

Restricting the relationship between Arabia and Tang Dynasty was his first priority here.

In Chang'an for many days, Justinian found that he didn't need to do much effort. Arabs were ambitious and the Tang Dynasty also had ambitions.

There was a destined gap between the Tang Dynasty and Arabia.

They have great disputes of interest. They both have small thoughts and guard against each other. So they feel like they are going out for fun, and the task is to be relaxed and comfortable.

Now Pei Min and Mosremasa have inexplicably communicated with each other and went to Hangu Pass together, which has caused Justinian to feel strongly uneasy.

Along the way, Justinian has already gained a certain understanding of the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

Especially when passing by Dasanguan, Justinian also knew from his guide why Guanzhong was called Guanzhong and why the Tang Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an.

The four major passes of Donghangu, Xisanguan, Nanwuguan and Beixiaoguan protect Guanzhong Chang'an and control the strategic areas.

Pei Min took Mosremasa east to Hangu Pass, which is definitely not a good sign.

Justinian walked back and forth for more than ten steps, and the more he thought about it, he became more and more uneasy. He waved his hand and asked him to inquire about Pei Min and what Mosremasa did to Hangu Pass.

He encountered almost no difficulties, and Justinian received news: Pei Min invited him to see the blasting and demolition at Hangu Pass.

Because Hangu Pass has been in disrepair for a long time, there is a section of the wall foundation that needs to be renovated.

This proposal was proposed many years ago, but because the world is peaceful, Hangu Pass has little significance.

Li Longji wanted to pay the labor costs of repairing Hangu Pass on the blade, but he never agreed.

Now, it's time!

The first moment Justinian heard the news, he became dumbfounded, his face pale and bloody. He couldn't help but tremble slightly like his previous son!

He was scared!

Really scared!

He didn't know how strong the Tang Dynasty was, but he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Warriors with faith do not care about life and death at all, as terrible as a group of evil ghosts from hell.

Arabia has not existed for a long time, only more than 110 years!

The Islamic prophet Muhammad began to spread Islam in Mecca under the order of Allah. Muhammad singlely won over a group of indigenous tribes and gradually formed an army that had always believed in the true God of Allah.

The Western overlord at that time was Persia and Byzantium!

Persia has a historical heritage like China, but the territory of the Sassanid dynasty of Persia is particularly vast, with more than 10 million miles of territory.

The same is true for Byzantium. After the split of ancient Rome, Byzantium, known as the Eastern Roman Empire, officially rose. Byzantium, with rich heritage, has its territory including Italy, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, the Caucasus, the southern coast of Spain and the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. It is also a major country spanning Asia, Europe and Africa.

The two ancient countries, great countries, made the weak Arab Empire fight one or two in just a hundred years.

By now Persia has destroyed Arabia and Byzantium has lost half of its land.

Throughout the century of history, Byzantine and Arabia have never won many head-on confrontations, and they lose a lot.

The only few wins were due to water battles, because of Greek fire.

To put it bluntly, Byzantium scared Arabs.

In particular, the lion king Mosremasa directly swept across all Byzantine troops in Western Europe and North Africa, and took Syria and Egypt into his pocket, leaving Byzantium, an ancient great country, without any face.

Whether it was emperors or nobles, they understood something in their hearts.

The capital Constantinople is their last line of defense. Once Constantinople falls, Byzantium will lose everything.

With the terrifying Arab army strength, once they lose their capital fortress, Constantinople, which is the main force of the Black Sea and controls the water transportation of Europe and Asia, Byzantium will follow in Persia and have almost room for retaliation.

The role of Constantinople is like the Yangtze River trench in China. As long as the Yangtze River trench is broken, the south will almost face sweeping and have almost no power to turn the sky.

The existence of Constantinople is related to the entire Byzantine Empire...

The Arab Empire dreamed of breaking Constantinople, and Byzantium also united itself and defended Constantinople with the strength of the whole country.

If the Tang Dynasty and Arabs unite because of his stupidity, the Tang Dynasty imparted the thunder of the sky to the Arabs, or with the help of helping them to blast Constantinople, then he would be the eternal sinner of Byzantium!

How can Justinian not be afraid!

"Hurry! Go to Hangu Pass quickly, and see the power of the sky thunder, and see the dangers of Hangu Pass..."

He roared heart-wrenchingly, and tears in his eyes flowed out regretfully.

"Smack it!"

He drew his bow from left to right and slapped himself four times in the face!

The severe pain calmed down Justinian slightly, hurried back to the house, carefully took out a piece of rice paper from the bag, and prepared the pen, ink, paper and ink, and the four treasures of the study.

At this moment, there is no product like paper in the West, and most of the things they use to remember are sheepskin.

As for the pen, ink and inkstone, there are not none in the West.

It's just that it's far from being compared with the Tang Dynasty, especially the ink. Western ink is metallic quidrug ink, made of tannin and ferrous sulfate solution, with a pungent smell.

Most of the inks in the Tang Dynasty used lamp smoke and pine resin, and some good inks were added with honey, which was sweet and fresh.

When I came to the Tang Dynasty, Justinian regarded the magical treasures such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone here as the treasure, so he bought a large cart to go back.

He called his translator and asked him to write for his writing.

Seeing that the translator was already waiting for the book, Justinian said in a deep voice: "You wrote: Justinian, the sinner, sincerely begged to worship the great Emperor of Tang..."

He felt heartbroken and repented word by word.

The three thousand words of review letter are repeated without a single sentence, which is touching...

For the Byzantine Empire, Justinian gave up his old face and wrote his first confession in his life with great sincerity.

With confession in his arms, Justinian came to Furong Garden. He knew that Li Longji was celebrating with many envoys in the Ziyun Tower. When he wanted to get close to Ziyun Tower, he was stopped by the guards.
