"Why don't you let me lead my troops to attack Persia?" Li Chao sat upright with a smile. "Our Roman Protectorate is only more than 1,200 miles away from the Persian Gulf. I might as well lead the troops to attack him to the end and open the sea outlet. We can arrive from the sea in the future. Look, how convenient it is."

Chengqian looked up at the roof of the hall, looking at the imitation wooden beams made of steel bars and cement. He knew that if he dared to agree, this person would really dare to take his troops to Persia thousands of miles away. But could he let him go? It was too far away. The teacher was the left-behind Hanjing and the chief minister.

He was in charge of the country and stayed behind. Although the teacher did not attend court or not, he would have a backbone with him. If he was not in Hanjing, he would not know how to deal with something. He knew that he could deal with small things, but if he really encountered big things, he would still be too young.

After a while, the other three other ministers came in together. Liu Hongji walked very loudly, as if he was stomping on the ground. However, Du Yan walked very lightly and could not even hear his footsteps. Yang Gongren shook his steps one by one. The old prime minister was obviously old, and sometimes he would take a nap in meetings, and sometimes even drool directly.

Cheng Qian straightened his clothes and said, "I just discussed with the Grand Master about the Roman mission."

"Your Highness, what's wrong with the Roman mission?"

"The Grand Tutor said that the Romans came to join forces with us to send troops to attack Persia." Cheng Qian said.

Yang Gongren raised his eyelids and walked all the way into the palace. His breath was still uneven. "Your Highness, how could the Romans come to join forces with us to attack Persia? This is impossible, tens of thousands of miles away, impossible."

Chengqian heard Yang Gongren say it was impossible, and he felt a little dissatisfied with this old minister who had been prime minister for more than ten years. He was old and stupid, and he could still occupy the position of Shangshu Right Pushe and Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue.

"I bet that the Romans really want to get the support of our Tang Dynasty's troops."

Yang Gongren hummed and said, "Is the Grand Master so sure? What if the Romans didn't come to the alliance?"

"Then let's bet something. The Yang Xiang family team has a very good player this year and has great potential. If I win, what if Yang Xiang ceded me?"

Yang Gongren laughed and said, "What if the Grand Master loses?"

"My player is also allowed to choose one of Yang Xiang."

"A word is determined, no regrets are allowed." Yang Gongren shouted excitedly.

"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse." Li Chao said, "Suang Liu and Xiang Du, why bother to join in the fun?"

Du Yan laughed and said, "I'll just watch the fun."

Liu Hongji wanted to join, and the players of the Li family were all very impressive, but thinking about how could Li Chao do a loss deal, he finally held back.

If you want to know if the Romans came to the alliance, it is actually very simple. Just ask them to come and ask them. Yang Gongren was also worried that Li Chao would do anything, so he asked the Roman prince to come for an interview immediately.

The Roman prince was named Heraclonas, and he was strong and blonde.

He is only eighteen years old this year, the son of Emperor Chiraclio and his second wife, and the emperor's second son.

He is graceful and courteous.

There is always a smile on my face.

Cheng Qian had a good impression of him all of a sudden, and even Li Chao had to admit that this Prince Heraclonas was very gentlemanly and was simply a template for the prince.

"Dear His Highness, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I am the Prince of Heraclones, the Emperor of the Roman Empire. On behalf of my father, Emperor Hiraclon, my mother, Empress Martina, and the great Roman Empire, I would like to say hello to the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Crown Prince!"

The prince bowed and bowed, and his etiquette was impeccable.

"Prince Hercules, please sit down!" Cheng Qian said with a smile.

Yang Gongren could not wait, "Prince, what's wrong with you here?"

Prince Heraclonas looked up at the luxuriously dressed old man. He had studied Chinese and wouldn't have asked to become the leader of this mission.

But the old man's words were very rude.

Before he could answer, Yang Gongren asked again, "Does your prince want to come and borrow troops from my Tang Dynasty to attack Persia?"

The prince was surprised now.

"Who is this?"

Li Chao smiled and introduced him, "I will introduce myself first. Let me go to Li Chao, the Grand Tutor of the Tang Empire, King Zhao, and the left-behind of Hanjing. The one who asked the prince just now was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the young master of the crown prince Yang Guo."

When the prince heard Li Chao's introduction, he immediately said in surprise, "It turns out that you are His Highness, King Zhao. He has heard of the great name for a long time and has long admired him."

The prince even stood up excitedly and shook Li Chao's hand. Li Chao shook hands with him with a smile and hugged him.

Yang Gongren stood there a little embarrassedly, and he was ignored.

After the embrace, Li Chao said to the prince, "Now that civil strife in Persia is constantly in full swing, and the generals are all holding their own troops. The royal family is weak and they have already fought hard on the outside. Since Emperor Chiraclio defeated the usurpers and established the dynasty twenty years ago, the Roman Empire has worked hard to govern, recuperate, keep a low profile, and has become increasingly stronger. In the previous few battles against Persia, they have achieved amazing victories."

"I believe that the prince came to Datang this time and must also want to join forces with Datang to attack Persia. I wonder if my guess is correct?"

The Roman prince gave Li Chao a thumbs up.

"I heard the name of King Zhao of the Tang Dynasty. When I was still in Rome, I heard some things about the Central Plains by Han merchants in Rome. Many stories about King Han often heard. After I arrived in the Tang Dynasty, I heard countless legendary stories of King Zhao along the way. It is said that King Zhao is a star in the sky. Now I see it, it turns out that way."

"I will not hide it from the King of Zhao, this time I came to the Tang Dynasty under the order of Your Majesty, and I intend to join forces with the Tang Dynasty to attack Persia."

As soon as these words were said, Yang Gongren became even more embarrassed.

Before, he insisted that the Romans were not here to join the Tang Dynasty, but now the prince said in person that he was here to join the alliance.

He retreated silently, sat down, and stopped making a sound.

But Li Chao ignored him.

Li Chao's eyes are now on the prince.

"Your Highness, the Persians are quite rude and rude. They had previously taken refuge in the Western Turks regardless of the interests of our Tang Dynasty. They even threatened to attack our Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, which was deliberately provoking our Tang Dynasty. We know that Persia and Rome are enemies and have been fighting for many years. Decades ago, the Persians took the opportunity to invade many territory in Rome."

Prince Heraclonas nodded constantly.

I thought it would be difficult to invite the Tang Dynasty to send troops this time. After all, although the Tang Dynasty had already bordered Persia, I didn’t expect that it was just the far-reaching Western border of the Tang Dynasty, and it was still tens of thousands of miles away from the core territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But now Li Chao's words made him realize that there was a turning point.

"Your Highness, as today, only the Tang Dynasty, Rome and Persia are the only ones, and they can be said to be a three-legged stalemate. However, the Persians are rebellious and arrogant. I think the Tang Dynasty and Rome should join forces to maintain peace in the world. What does your Highness think?"

Prince Heraclonas slapped his thigh, "King Zhao is right."

Li Chao's eyes turned to Chengqian.

Chengqian was very tacit with Li Chao, and said immediately, "Prince Heraclonas, I now authorize the Prime Minister Li, and he has the full authority to discuss alliance matters with His Highness."

With the authorization, Li Chao is not polite.

Li Chao cares about this alliance very much, and it also has a purpose.

He first took out a map, which was marked quite clearly. This is a map containing the Tang Dynasty, Persia, and Rome, including most of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Li Chao was very polite and took a pen to draw on the map first.

"Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty admitted that the Mediterranean was the sphere of influence of the Roman Empire, and the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea was the westernmost end of the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

The Mediterranean was the territory of the strongest Eastern Rome more than a hundred years ago, but now, Eastern Rome is no longer the same as before. Even Egypt was taken away by Persia.

Now Li Chao said that the Tang Dynasty admitted that the Mediterranean was all Rome.

Prince Heraclonas was of course very happy.

Repaying the favor, the prince also agreed with Li Chao's proposal that the western boundary of the Tang Dynasty was bounded by the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea. Anyway, the two countries did not junction. When the Eastern Roman power was the most powerful, they only reached the east coast of the Black Sea and did not even reach the western coast of the Caspian Sea.

This place between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea is now completely controlled by the Persians.

Li Chao simply lamented the generosity of others, and with a big stroke, he handed over the entire Caspian coast to Rome with a very Li Shimin style.

The Tang Dynasty and Rome formally determined the boundary line.

Both sides are bounded by the center of the Caspian Sea, the eastern half of the Caspian Sea belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the western half of the Caspian Sea belongs to Rome.

In addition, Li Chao also divided Afghanistan and the southwestern Pakistan behind Afghanistan into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even went east to the west bank of the Indus River in Pakistan.

These places are now basically occupied by the Persians.

With this stroke, the Tang Dynasty had an outlet for the Western Regions, and directly reached the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean.

Prince Heraclos did not object to such a demarcation at all, and even offered to simply set aside the West and point the Persian territory in.

Li Chao refused with a smile. In fact, it is just a symbolic meaning to the south now. The Tang Dynasty can really hit the beach immediately.

But after all, this is to sign the friendship treaty between the Tang Dynasty and the Roman Hanjing, and it is to be written into history. Therefore, these can be more serious.

Li Chao's map demarcation is equivalent to cutting off Turkmen and Afghanistan from the present Persia, and cutting off all west of Pakistan's Indus River.

This painting world also follows the trend of geographical landscapes, almost all the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Rome also gained all the benefits of this demarcation, and the Mediterranean belonged to them, which means that the territory of Türkiye, which originally belonged to Persia, was all allocated to Rome.

A very rough painting world.

Facing the red border lines above, Prince Heraclonas's smile became even more charming.

"King Zhao, happy cooperation!"

"Well, the Tang Dynasty's Roman Alliance will last forever!"

"King Zhao, will we discuss the alliance's troops next?" Although the prince was very satisfied with Li Chao's demarcation just now, he knew that this was just a map. If the Tang Dynasty did not send troops, everything he said was just a joke.
