Chapter 1372: There is a plan in my heart
Unlike the young nobleman like Mahdi, Khazar will not have a psychological deviation from his identity and situation, and he will not have any psychological obstacles to defecting to the Tang Dynasty.
After being hung by the Tang people for a few days, he finally got the desired result, and just from the size of the greeting team, you can see how much the Tang people value him.
At this point, one of Khazar's hearts has completely landed, and Elland City will return to his hands sooner or later.
He had no doubts about the fighting power of the Tang army, as long as they were willing to help him, and only by Muhammad led a group of people who looked like him, victory was only a matter of time.
However, everything comes at a price, and Khazar has more than once calculated what he could use as a bargaining chip to trade with the Tang.
If they can't come up with conditions that the Tang people are satisfied with, what reason do they have to help them retake Elam City?
After thinking about it, Khazar felt that there was one thing, and the Tang people would readily agree.
If you come prepared, you don't have to be so groveling, and he has a smile on his face that he hasn't had for a long time.
Coming to greet Khazar was a young Tang man who claimed to be the envoy of the Tang Emperor and extended greetings to him on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.
Khazar didn't know much about the situation in the Tang Dynasty, so he asked:
"Your Majesty the Emperor is the equivalent of my eclipse caliph?"
Cui Yin naturally knew what Khazar was thinking, so he said:
"It's roughly equivalent to your caliph, but it's the prime minister who is in charge!"
In a simple sentence, Kazar suddenly realized that the person he was about to meet was the most powerful in the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, this is the one who can decide his future fate.
"The prime minister had already planned to return to Mulu City, but when he learned that His Highness intended to surrender, he specially stayed for a few more days. Also, His Royal Highness has been tired all the way here, and the prime minister specially explained it, if there are any difficulties, just say it bluntly!"
The conversation between the two people was passed back and forth between the interpreters, and although the meaning of the other person was somewhat deviated, it did not affect the communication between them in general.
Khazar hopes to get a lot of help, but he knows that he can't open his mouth easily, and if he opens his mouth, he can only pick up the most critical things, such as food and clothing, which is more or less enough, as long as he can't starve to death, and he can't freeze to death, why bother begging for food.
In the end, he still has the innate pride of the Abbasids in his heart, but in the face of the cruel reality, he knows how to choose.
This is much stronger than Mahdi.
Because he attaches too much importance to his status and identity, he always looks ahead and backward when making many decisions, and finally misses opportunities again and again, and finally becomes a prisoner of the Tang people.
"I heard that Prince Mahdi was a guest in your army, I don't know if it's true or fake?"
Khazar was a very bold man, and after having a plan in his heart, he began to ask about things that he wanted to know but didn't know very well.
Cui Yin did not hide it, and generously admitted that Mahdi was indeed in the base camp.
"Your prince Mahdi is about to set off for the east, to Chang'an, to meet the Tang Emperor!"
Hearing this, Qajar was surprised, he thought that after Mahdi became a prisoner of the Tang people, he would be tortured, but now it seems that he has been given preferential treatment.
However, he did not care whether Mahdi was treated favorably or ill-treated, and the point was that the rumors that Mahdi had become a prisoner of the Tang were true.
If this is the case, all the previous refutations of the Caliphate were false and futile.
Mahdi is about to take Chang'an to meet the Tang Emperor, and sooner or later this news will reach Ctesiphon, and at that time, even if Mansur's prestige is high, I am afraid that it will be a big blow.
It's really sad to think that Khazar actually feels a little sorry for his brother, the most powerful son has suddenly become the most incompetent, and none of the other sons can be entrusted with the heavy responsibility.
However, at this time, Khazar will not really pity Mansour, he will only clap his hands and applaud.
Mansur killed his wife and son, and sent men to capture Ilam, cutting off his own foundations, and the hatred between them could no longer be reconciled, let alone resolved, and the only way to decide between life and death was to win or lose.
Cui Yin is also young and vigorous, and seeing that Kazar is still more or less on the shelf of the prince of the empire, he said again:
"There are also Abbas, the governor of Khorasan, and the emissary of the caliphate, Fazler, if His Highness wants to see them, Cui can ask the prime minister to arrange it!"
"See, see all, and bother the expensive envoy!"
Qajar agreed, especially Mahdi, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, and it is always Mahdi who occupies the front with the protection of Mansour, and now he wants to see what qualifications the prince who has become a prisoner has to be arrogant!
Seeing that Mahdi was deliberately humiliating, and seeing that Fazl, the messenger of the caliphate, was planning to use this person's mouth to convey the truth about Mahdi back to Ctesiphon, although he knew that the other party was al-Mansur's cronies and favorites, and would not be easily baited, but it was always man-made, and how could he know that it would not work if he didn't try!
Finally, there is Abbas, with whom Qajar does not have much intersection, and the two are even close in political positions and have overlapping interests in many aspects.
Although all of the above is a thing of the past, Abbas is also a prisoner of the Tang people, and he is not free in person, let alone helping Qajar.
Qajar did not plan to meet Abbas for help, but to extract some specific information from Abbas about the attitude of the Tang people towards his vassals.
Cui Yin agreed to these things very happily, and he turned his head to look at Khazar.
"Cui heard that the prime minister intends to support His Highness in his struggle for the position of caliph, I wonder if His Highness has the determination to fight?"
The question was asked very suddenly and directly, and for a moment Khazar was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
At the first moment of reaction, he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Mansur's brutal murder has long been unpopular, and if I can get the support of your country, I am at least eighty percent sure that I can oust al-Mansur from the position of caliph!"
Cui Yin smiled.
"What the prime minister wants is His Royal Highness's words, Mansur is indeed a cruel tyrant, overthrowing his rule, there is no harm to Dashi and Datang, I hope His Highness is ready, maybe at this time next year, Cui will go to Ctesiphon to meet His Highness!"
The implication is that if all goes well, Qajar is the future caliph.
Despite repeatedly telling himself that pies would not fall from the sky, Khazar still couldn't stop the excitement in his heart.
Although they are all Cui Yin's empty words and white teeth, there is no credible guarantee, but this is enough to be regarded as an excellent message released by the Tang people!
