Jerusalem will be captured by the Sassanian Empire next year, which means that the Sassanian Empire’s army has just been pushed to Jerusalem.
Shekkhan has been paying attention to the war between the Sassanian Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire.
Obviously, as long as the Sassanian Empire wins the war in the Eastern Roman Empire, its next goal will definitely be to turn around and fight the Western Turks.
He just received this news. How did the Sui people learn about it?
His man quickly spread the information as soon as he got the news. Even if the Great Sui people heard the news at the first time, could they still be faster than their horses?
Shekui Khan felt tricky with this completely unexpected situation.
He is very proficient in Chinese and Persian, and he also collected books from both countries.
Although Shekui Khan looks like an illiterate and rough man, he has a very good education level. He has read many Chinese military books and knows that Chinese people are conspiring and intrigues, such as “family friends and near attacks” that are very good at playing.
The Western Turks were not afraid of the Great Sui people before because they knew that the Great Sui people were completely disgusted with the situation in the world west of the Western Turks. Even if they were sow discord, they would only make things happen within the East and West Turks.
Now that Li Xuanba mentioned the “Sassanid Dynasty”, he seemed to be quite familiar with it in his words, and the Khan of Shekui broke out in cold sweat.
You, the sinister Sui man, wouldn’t you want to get along with the Sassanid Dynasty and then attack the Western Turks in close combat, right? !
When a person has information beyond common sense, it will cause huge psychological terror pressure on the other party.
Even the Western Turkic nobles themselves did not know some information – the Western Turkic nobles were still tribal, and the information mastered by the upper aristocracy was not equal to that of the middle and lower aristocracy, which was one of the basis of their rule.
So Shekui Khan quickly took advantage of Li Xuanba’s killing chicken to warn the monkey and moved the banquet to a more private place.
He didn’t care about pretending to be a barbarian in front of the Sui people. He put on the exquisite dishes and wine, and he wanted to have a happy conversation with the envoys of the Sui people.
Shekui Khan only left a few confidants to accompany him, Li Xuanba only left four or five guards including Zhou Da and Luo Shixin, and the rest of the guards set up a few other tables outside.
Khan Shekui poured wine for Li Xuanba, and his tone and expression were completely different from before: “Li Sanlang actually understands the Sassanian Empire? I thought that the Sui people looked down on such remote small countries.”
Li Xuanba pushed and stopped: “Khan, you can see that I have been sick since childhood and cannot drink alcohol. I can’t accompany you to have fun this time.”
Khan Shekui laughed and said, “It’s okay, I’m old, I can’t drink too much. Come on, change it to honey water. When you mention the Sassanian Empire, have you drunk honey water from the specialty of the Sassanian Empire?”
Li Xuanba said: “The honey water from the Sassanian Empire should refer to stone honey, right? There were tributes in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty. In fact, it was actuallyIt’s just solidified sucrose. Speaking of sugar, it is more delicious from Tianzhu. “
Is stone honey sugar? Isn’t it a magical honey produced by bees on stones? Shekui Khan was confused, but he didn’t ask.
He saw Li Xuanba’s words were so conscientious that he dared not reveal his information shortcomings.
Shekui Khan said, “I have also tasted the stone honey from India, each with its own merits. However, the Indian Bisashan is strong, and Shimi Bisashan is good for granted. “
Li Xuanba laughed: “Although Tianzhu has been brilliant, he is too insulting to Sassanida now. “
Li Xuanba talked about the history of the Sassanid Empire as a test of not discovering the Shekui Khan.
The independent dynasty of Persia before the Sassanid Empire was called the Achaemenid Dynasty, which was the same era as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty of China.
The Achaemenid Dynasty was also called the First Persian Empire by later generations. At its peak, it included the territory of the Western Turks today.
