Cen Shen spent these days in a panic.

Nothing else, for his son, Duke Cenzo.

It was not because Mr. Cen Zuo secretly married a savage woman to not report to him, but because the savage woman was originally the woman of His Royal Highness, but his son ran away with her!

For Cen Shen, a woman is completely insignificant, but offending His Highness the Crown Prince is a great sin!

The problem is that the situation is now complete, and the king obviously supports Duke Cen Zuo, otherwise he would not have sent the prince to Gaochang to serve as the governor of Anting.

What is even more annoying is that such a thing was not told by his son, but by Renyongdu people!

From the moment he received this news, Cen Sen knew that as long as His Royal Highness was still in the Great Qin State, the Cen family would not have good fruits to eat.

After learning that the truth was revealed, Bai Jieyou arrived, before he met Ma Lin and Su Xijie, Cen Shen quickly took him to his mansion. After carefully understanding it again, he finally let it go.

"The King Chunqiu Fang Sheng, as long as he is in one day, I believe that the prince will not treat my family, let alone Su Xijie's statement, except for a very few people, not even know about this matter, including the prince. The name of the rebellious son of Duke Cen Zuo will not appear in any official document of the Great Qin State."

"Forget it, the king did this to take care of the prince's face, but..."

After Bai Jieyou left, Cen Shen thought about it for a while but had no idea. Finally, he decided not to care, but he had to make friends with Ma Lin and Su Xijie no matter what.

He decided to marry his daughter to Ma Lin's eldest son. He originally thought that Ma Lin would definitely refuse after learning about Cen Zuogong, but he did not expect Ma Lin agreed immediately.

As soon as Ma Lin agreed, Cen Shen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Among the second generation of the great generals and ministers of the Great Qin State, there were not many outstanding figures, and Ma Lin's son was not even considered a person. However, his daughter was raised by him as a son since childhood. Not only was he good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but after entering the new school of the Great Qin State, he was also quite good at mathematics and other aspects.

Although he felt a little regretful, for the future of the Cen family, he forced a smile to agree on the wedding date with Ma Lin.

After completing this matter, Ma Lin summoned everyone to discuss major events at the Governor's Office in Yuanfeng, and naturally he was present at the scene of ease.

"This is Tabriz"

In the early stage, a person who walked in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Northern Persia under the name of the Kutba Trading Company was reporting.

(Note, the name Azerbaijan has already existed at this time, but it is not widely circulated. The most widely circulated is the Kingdom of Albania (not the one in Europe). This article is still called Azerbaijan)

"This is Baku, this is Yerevan, both of which are located in the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Tabriz. Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan, Yerevan is the capital of Armenia, this is Tbilisi, and the capital of Georgia."

"At present, Georgia maintains independence temporarily and pays tribute to the Romans at the same time."

"The governor of the Great Cannibal in Tabriz is called Hazmo, and he is the elder brother of a concubine of a Caliph Mansour. He is said to be from Yemen, the homeland of the Great Cannibal, a chief of the Shiboutuin tribe. He is good at using cavalry. He is now known as Mansour's right-hand man, together with Ghazwal, the governor of Khorasan, is known as Mansour's right-hand man."

"Not long ago, in order to compete for Georgia, Hazmo and the Romans fought on land and at sea, but the two sides almost did not decide the outcome."

"Originally, the cannibals had occupied the Port of Podie in Georgia facing the Black Sea, blocking the way for the Georgians to retreat from the sea, and then the army surrounded Tbilisi from all directions. Seeing that Tbilisi was about to fall, Hazmo retreated."

"I later learned that the Governor of Laiyi, who was the great cannibal, was killed by the people of the Hurami Sect during his inspection outside the city, and took advantage of the situation to capture Laiyi. At present, the Governor of Kharasan in the east, Jiazhewar, had sent troops to attack, and most of the Hazmo also received the order from Mansour to let him attack from the west."

"At present, Armenia is a man named Armenian Duke by Mansour. It turns out that it is one of the two major families in Armenia. Vasak, who comes from the Bagratuni family, has always surrendered to the great cannibals and promised to convert to the great food education in the next fifty years, and contribute a considerable tax to Tabriz and Baghdad every year."

"However, according to Ren Yongdu's news, after his father was given the title of Grand Duke of Armenia and took control of Armenia, he arranged for people who had originally converted to the Grand Tutorials in China to officially join the religion, but none of his family joined, and he still believed in Christianity in China."

"Because of the close proximity to the Romans and Xhosa people, coupled with the rebellion of the Hurami sect in China, Mansur temporarily acquiesced to the Bagratuni family doing this. This time, Hazmo attacked Georgia by land and sea. All the food and grass were actually provided by the Grand Duchy of Armenia."

"This situation quickly aroused dissatisfaction among many people in China, because Georgia also believes in Christianity. Although the sects are different, they all believe in Christ. After the Great Food Kingdom entered, the Mamikonian family, who had insisted on expelling the Great Food people by force, hid among the people. After Hazmo withdraws, he stood up."

"The leader is Vardan II, who is the father of Vardan III who came to our country. It is said to be a descendant of the Mateng family during the Three Kingdoms. The original fief was in Nashichewan. After the great cannibals entered, all the nobles in the place were massacred, leaving only Vardan II to flee to Georgia."

(Nakchevan, an enclave of the later Azerbaijan state)

"After Vardan II returned to Nashchevan, he immediately killed the governor who was set up there and brought a team. Hazmo naturally learned about this, but for the great sacrificial countries, one hundred Nashchevans were not as good as one Lai. Therefore, he just asked his governor who was set up in Azerbaijan and the Armenian Grand Duke to send troops to suppress him, and he led his army to continue to advance towards Lai."

(Layi, Tehran)

"Let's talk about Azerbaijan, originally this was the hereditary fief of a nobleman of the former Persian Empire. After the Great Cannibals entered, they also massacred all the nobles here. The residents here originally believed in Zoroastrianism and had only been under the jurisdiction of Great Cannibals for fifty years. However, compared with Armenia and Georgia, the people here are not so firm in religious beliefs, but they are the most obedient to the jurisdiction of Great Cannibals."

"Caliph Mansour was naturally very happy. Originally, in the era of white-clothed food and food, the residents here only reduced taxes, but were not allowed to join the Great Food and Teachings. After the rise of black-clothed food and food, this practice was retained. However, after Mansour came to power, he ordered all Azerbaijanis to join the Great Food and Teachings."

"At present, the governor here is Hazmo's mullah. Ahem, by the way, mullah is equivalent to a disciple of the Central Plains. He was not a great cannibal. After joining the Great Cannibalism, he could only do things for the great cannibalism in the form of a mullah. This mullah is an Azerbaijani and a tribe member of a wife of Hazmo. A man named Gasani has about five thousand people in Baku."

"For the Grand Duke of Armenia, facing such a situation, he will naturally not devote his efforts to deal with Vardan II, but will instead sit idly by and watch Gasani attack Nakhevan alone. At present, Vardan II is fighting Gasani fiercely in the Nagka mountains."

(Nakka Mountains, the dividing line between Nakhchevan and Azerbaijan in later generations is across the mountain, and the mountain is in the hands of Armenia in later generations)

"Under this situation, Vardan II sent his son to our country for help. The so-called Armenia joins the Great Qin Kingdom is nothing but empty talk. The place he can control now is the Nakhchevan area, which is not large in area, but it is a major transportation route from Azerbaijan to Armenia and Georgia."

(At this time, northern Iran also belongs to Azerbaijan)

Bai Jieyou asked, "Where is Vardan III? There are great cannibals around him. How did he come to our country?"

Su Xijie said: "He happened to be sick these days. He originally wanted to wait until his illness recovered before he had a meeting to discuss it, but the matter was urgent, so he was held in advance. The so-called Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia, the people there were actually almost the same appearance. They were originally Persian provinces, so he could naturally get into the caravan and go to Baku."

"Or crossed Mount Elbool from Ardabil to the Astra Port in New Mo State in our country, this is how he came here."

(Aldabil, a city in Tabriz Province, close to Mount Elboles, and is also an important town in ancient Azerbaijan)

"According to his words, the governor of Tabriz, Hazmo, originally had 30,000 infantry and cavalry under his command. Now all went to Lai. Only a few soldiers who were guarding the city remained in Tabriz Province, and they were all Azerbaijanis who converted to the Great Food Church. If our country intervened at this time, it would be easy to occupy it."

(Tabriz, Iran's provinces close to the Caucasus are almost all Azerbaijanis, and they are separated from the Dorbastan area by the western end of Mount Atlas - Mount Atlas)

"Ahem," Ma Lin, 39 years old this year, spoke, "Let's just introduce it here. Now, not only is it for the convenience of evaluating worries, but today's meeting also needs to solve one problem, that is, how should we intervene in the Caucasus region?"

"By the way, the premise is that the non-aggression treaty between our country and the Great Food Kingdom has only been signed for two years. If we rashly intervene in the war in Armenia, how should we cover up the past? Furthermore, according to the king's plan, our ultimate goal is the Xhosa Khanate. In this situation, how should we act the most favorable for our ultimate goal?"

"General"

Yuanfeng said.

"I have been lingering here for a few years. When I was in Kizil, I often pretended to be a businessman and mixed into Dobastan. Azerbaijan did not go so far into Armenia, but based on my understanding, I have the following suggestions."

Since Yuanfeng became the governor of Hainan Prefecture, he was full of hope to be able to stand alone in Dobasi and deal with the Khonza Khanate and the Great Food Kingdom at the same time, and at least be a pioneer. Unexpectedly, the king chose Ma Lin this time, which disappointed him a little. However, he still expressed his thoughts for many years.

"Since the ultimate goal is the Khanate of Xhosa, if our country simply attacks from east to west and uses our combat power to achieve final victory, it is naturally no problem. However, the Xhosa people have fleets in the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. If they are not in the North Caucasus, they can also take a boat to cross the Kerch Strait to the Taurus Peninsula."

"If our country can occupy the Southern Caucasus first, no matter Georgia, at least it can connect Azerbaijan and Armenia, so there will be a port of the Black Sea. Whether it is Batumi or Poti, the beech and Persian oak trees on the nearby mountains are densely packed, and can build large ships. After two or three years, our Black Sea fleet will be formed, and we can take down the Taurus Peninsula first and completely seal its retreat."

(Taurus Peninsula, Crimea Peninsula)

Ma Lin nodded, "But in that case, how should we deal with the attack of the Xhosa people before there are no ships?"

Yuanfeng smiled and said, "The Three Kingdoms of the Southern Caucasus were originally Roman lands. We brought them from the hands of the Cannibals. The country was too happy. How could it be detrimental to our country? As for the Xhosa people, the most deadly place was the capital of Baicheng on the west coast of the Caspian Sea. If they sent the Black Sea fleet to attack Batuan or Potit Port, our country naturally attacked Baicheng vigorously, and the two harms were less serious. I believe they made this choice."
