The group quickly entered the mountain road leading to Nakhechevan. The post road built along the banks of the Aras River was indeed winding, but the road was still very wide, and there was a small military fort about every thirty miles. The military fort was either located where the tributaries flowed into the Aras River, or near the bridge, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Your Highness"

Along the way, Mamikonian III discovered that although Sun Zhaoyong was young, he was calm and had an ancient Persian language. Since Armenia had been ruled by Sassania for a long time in history, their citizens were more or less Persian, so the two of them could communicate without any hindrance.

There is naturally the influence of the Great Cannibal language here. Whether it is Hezhong or Armenia, they have been ruled by the Great Cannibal in the past fifty years, and naturally have an impact on the local language. The two of them learned the Great Food Persian language. Although they were far apart, they could barely communicate.

Before coming here, Sun Zhaoyong knew early in the morning that his final destination was the Transcaucasus. In addition to Persian and the Great Cherish, the Greek language was the most popular in Rome. When he was in Cannon, he asked a merchant who was proficient in Greek for a year, but his Greek language was obviously not as proficient as Sogdian, so he could only communicate with the III in Sogdian.

Sun Zhaoyong also discovered something.

"Didn't this mountain road be built by the noble family?"

III nodded, "Yes, my Highness, the real Armenia is in Nakhevan. It is the birthplace of Armenian writing. It has always been the most tenacious place to resist foreign invaders. Of course, when my family came here from distant China, they soon became the lord here and without exception, they became the leader of the resisters."

"In history, both Persians, Cannibals, and even Romans have been subjected to tenacious resistance from my family..."

"Roman?"

"Yes, our country was the first country to convert to Christianity in the form of a state after the birth of Christianity. At that time, the Roman Empire was still in the polytheistic period. Therefore, our country's Christianity was the most orthodox, and the earliest Christianity was different from the Romans."

"Compared with the Romans and Persians, the great cannibals are the most fierce. About a hundred years ago, when the great cannibals invaded our country, they were stubbornly resisted by my family, and after winning, they killed all the nobles in Nakhevan. My family also suffered heavy casualties, leaving only a few of them fled to Georgia."

"At that time, there were no mountain roads that crossed the Little Caucasus Mountain, only military forts hidden on the banks of the Aras River. Once my family was defeated, they would escape into the mountains and hide. Not long ago, thanks to your country's help, they drove the cannibal out. My father drew people to open the mountain road connecting the military fort."

Three days later, some people finished the mountain road and came to the Nakhevan Valley.

From here on, Sun Zhaoyong understood what desolation is.

The terrain of the valley is much lower than that of the Little Caucasus, and there are also large fields on both sides of the Alas River, but not many people working inside. He thought to himself: "It is mostly killed when resisting the invasion of the great cannibals."

III also said: "Originally, there were more than 20,000 households in Nakhevan, but now there are less than 10,000 households. They are all gathered near Nakhevan City, and other places are naturally deserted."

Sun Zhaoyong discovered that in addition to farmland, there were also large grasslands near the river valley. Although it was winter now, many grasses still had not completely withered.

There are continuous hills and valleys on both sides of the river valley, and shepherds are occasionally hiding there.

"They are all Kurds, and they don't work in farming, and they all make a living by grazing. Originally, Nahichevan did not have Kurds. They were all near the Dabishu Province and even the Vanhu Province. After Armenia joined Dabishu, due to the sharp decline in the country's diaspora, the Dabishu people migrated a lot of Kurds who converted to Dabishu.

“How many are there?”

"There are all Armenia and Azerbaijan, especially Armenia, and the fewest ones I mentioned just now do not include the Kurds. In fact, they have at least 3,000 households in Nakhchevan, all of whom are herdsmen."

"Why is this?"

"See, south of the Aras River, it is still a territory of the cannibals. Although it belongs to the Ali faction, the great cannibals in Tabriz are still willing to obey him. By the way, Ibrahim, who now calls himself the Sultan of Ghazwen."

"Ibrahim easily seized the territory of the Black-clothed Food in the western Persia and owned four or five provinces. The people here actually believed in the Ali family. In this way, Ibrahim's regime was actually more stable than before. These four or five provinces have vast territory and large populations. It is said that they are close to eight million. Ibrahim easily formed an army."

"Just after your army withdrew from Persia, Ibrahim personally sent troops to expel the Romans who took advantage of the invasion of the former Governor of Tabriz, and restored his rule over the Elme Province west of Lake Van. Due to the pious believers in the territory and the large number of people, the influence of the great cannibals is actually stronger than before."

"Ibrahim continues to set up provinces in Tabriz and El Group Rum. Each province has 10,000 regular troops, and there are 3,000 believers who are extremely enthusiastic about pursuing Ibrahim. If it weren't for the existence of your army, it would be very simple if the cannibals were willing to invade Armenia again."

"Because your population is not large?"

"Yes"

Speaking of this, Sun Zhaoyong saw a deep sadness appearing on Sanshi's face.

After a while, the Third World continued: "In fact, it is not only the great cannibals, but the Romans are similar. Although we all believe in Christ, the sects are different. The Romans are very enthusiastic about religion and their persecution towards us is no less than that of the great cannibals. Recently, because the great cannibals are on their side, they have relaxed their oppression on our country."

Sun Zhaoyong thought to himself: "Who is it fanatical? The Mamikonian family must be the most fanatical, so not only does their own family ups and downs, but also causes the country to suffer. It is not as good as the Bagratuni family. It has a soft figure, but it can generally keep the people from being implicated and also have a land between the two countries."

Not long after, the group finally arrived in Nakhechevan.

A castle that is still under construction - in the resistance to the invasion of the great cannibals, this ancient castle was demolished, but the demolished earth, stone, bricks and tiles were discarded in place, and it would take no effort to rebuild it.

On a small hill not far from the castle, there is a small military fortress. On that day, the group rested there, and this is also the place where the three generations temporarily reside.

As soon as Mamikonian III walked up the hill, regardless of the crowd, he knelt down and worshiped the West.

After a while, he pulled Sun Zhaoyong and said, "Your Highness, have you seen it? Is there a white dot in the distance?"

Sun Zhaoyong followed his fingers and looked at it, and it was indeed the case.

"It is the holy mountain of Armenia, Mount Ararat, and the holy mountain of Christians all over the world. Noah's Ark was discovered there."

......

In the middle of the night, everyone was awakened by a noise.

After a while, Su Xijie came to Sun Xiurong's room, "The king is the big cannibal on the other side of the Alas River."

"Why did they come?"

"King, although under the mediation and restraint of our country, Armenia and Gazvine Dashi have reached a settlement, but the two sides have also signed a secret agreement, including the Nahichevan region and the Gareziadin city, which is closest to the Nahichevan region."

(Galeziaden City, the city of the same name on the northwest border of Iran in later generations)

"The two sides agreed that for peace, the number of cavalry on each side should not exceed three hundred. It is estimated that the cannibal detectives found our troops in the daytime, so they went back to report to the generals of Gareziadin City. The general naturally refused, so they led the troops over overnight."

"So domineering? Didn't he know that our army was going to pass through the Nakhchevan Valley? You will mediate on behalf of us. Remember, you must be tough!"

Su Xijie nodded, and he quickly walked to the still noisy courtyard.

He squeezed out of the crowd and stood beside Mamikonian III. III naturally knew a person like him, so I quickly introduced him in Sogdian language: "Sir, this person is the guardian of Gazvine Gareziadin City, the Kurd. I explained to him just now, but he did not listen, but instead scolded me loudly."

Su Xijie looked forward and saw a bearded man wearing a black robe and even his head wrapped in a robe looking at him with disdain.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and thought to himself: "If I were not a blind man, I should have seen that it was from the Great Qin State. Could it be that he was so bold that he dared to provoke our country?"

He went to the first two parts and shouted loudly: "I am an official of the Great Qin State. Taking Armenia to Batumi is the agreement between our king and your country's Sultan. Why do you have trouble?!"

As a person who has served as the leader of Renyong Capital for a long time, Su Xijie has long learned how to speak the word, so he said it in this way.

The man was not upset when he heard this, but snorted coldly, "Why not report to our country?"

Su Xijie was stunned, and the Third Emperor hurried over and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. At that time, in order to stabilize as soon as possible, our country did add an agreement with the Great Cannibal. If there was a scattered Ye army passing through our country's Batumi, we should inform the Great Cannibal."

Su Xijie raised his eyebrows, "Whoever needs to know?"

"That's not, if there is a big man passing by, there is no need."

"Big man? How big is it?"

"Forget it." This was a sound that was not mature as soon as he heard it. Soon, Sun Zhaoyong also squeezed here. He said to the Kurdish general openly, "I am the third son of the King of Great Qin. I was named King of Jingyang. I am about to go to Batuan Port. Can the general let it go?"

When the man heard this, his eyes turned a few times and suddenly changed his smile, "That's natural, please understand your highness, we have no choice but to do so."

A conflict ended like this.

That night, Sun Xiurong never fell asleep again. Finally, he finally squeezed out a sentence from his teeth.

"If you are weak, you will be bullied. The world is the most rational."

However, Su Xijie paid homage to him early in the morning and said, "Master, there must be changes in the country of Dashi!"

"Why do you say that?"

"It is obvious that the Caliph of the Great Seals could make Bingbo Silin commit suicide with an imperial edict. What a prestige? You should know that the entire Black-clothed Dashi was almost founded by Bingbo Silin. Not only did he destroy the governors of the Abbas family who were still loyal to the Umayyad family, but he also killed all the dissidents of the descendants of the prophets. What a merit for the Great Seals country, it is not an exaggeration to use the metaphor to shake the past and present."

"Bingbo Silin has an army of hundreds of thousands, and there is a hint of our country, and it is still being taken by Mansour. Obviously, Mansour's ability is still above Bingbo Silin."

"After this, Mansur appointed Governor of Khorasan, Gazwar and Governor of Tabriz, Hazmo, are all outstanding figures. They will win every battle against any forces except the Shattered Leaf Army. In this case, our country has secretly helped Ibrahim to get a bargain. Not to mention Mansur is unwilling to give up, Ibrahim himself is not at ease."

"you mean......"

"Yes, if the empress guessed correctly, Mansour had reached a secret agreement with Ibrahim. At least until Baghdad was completed, Mansour would not attack Ibrahim. He also acquiesced to Ibrahim occupy half of Persia. He must be paralyzing Ibrahim and spreading it widely."
