Chapter 899: Peace Talks
Of course, Ang Lee will not help Rahman arrest Yusuf's son, although this can please Rahman, but there is no need for Ang Lee to do this, he now has the initiative, there is no need to please anyone, and besides, Yusuf's son was sent to the door by himself, and he came sincerely to discuss important matters with him, and it seems very immoral to capture him, so it is the most appropriate way to let him go.
The middle-aged man said a few words in the young man's ear, and the young man was very nervous, and quickly looked back and back, then nodded nervously, saluted Li An, and said that he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Farewell."
The middle-aged man took the young man and got off Ang Lee's big boat as fast as he could, jumped into the small boat, and left in a hurry.
Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving quickly, Ang Lee fell into deep thought, their purpose was to unite themselves to overthrow Rahman's rule, and they came for their own selfish interests.
As for what they say for the people, it is false, the local people may not support them, it can be seen from their defeat, if the people support them, how can they be so miserable, now, Rahman's rule has become more and more stable, helping these oppositionists, but it will cause a new round of local turmoil, and the life of the common people will not be able to live.
Ang Lee will not help these opponents who have failed in any case, but he will not refuse outright, leaving a glimmer of hope in their hearts, which will be conducive to the negotiation between Ang Lee and Rahman.
"Li Shilang, Rahman's subordinates want to see you."
One of the subordinates said.
Li An watched the figures of the two get farther and farther away, turned his head to look at his subordinates, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "I know that he asked to see him, let him come up!" ”
Obviously, from the time he was with Yusuf's son just now, Ang Lee knew that Rahman's subordinates would definitely see him, because this guy had also seen the situation here just now, although it was too far away to see it very clearly, but he should be able to feel something.
Soon, Rahman's subordinates climbed onto Ang Lee's boat with great difficulty and saluted Ang Lee very politely.
Li An lay on the rocking chair, his eyes didn't open, and he just asked softly, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Rahman's subordinates hurriedly said, "Li Shilang, I'm here to tell you that you will arrive in Cordoba in two days. ”
"Oh, that's it! The official already knows. ”
Li An said lightly.
Rahman's subordinates were stunned for a moment in embarrassment, and then said, "Li Shilang, I just saw two people on the boat, I don't know who they are?" ”
"Does it look familiar?"
Li An said lightly, his eyes were still closed.
"Yes, it's a little familiar, but it's a little too far away to see very clearly."
Rahman's men spoke.
Li An opened his eyes slightly, looked at Rahman's subordinates, and said, "The younger one said that he was Yousuf's son, and the one next to him was a translator, do you know?" ”
After speaking, he watched the expressions of Rahman's subordinates change.
Yusuf...... son, really is him. ”
Rahman's men were startled, their expressions quite shocked, even a little remorseful.
"Huh! That's the real reason why you're here! Yusuf is your mortal enemy, now dead, and his son has sworn to avenge their father. ”
Li An said lightly.
Rahman's subordinates thought for a while and asked, "Li Shilang must not trust Yusufu's sons, they are particularly unpopular, so they also failed, and he is not worthy of trust." ”
Li An opened his mouth and said: "The official is not very concerned about whether Yusuf's son is trustworthy or not, but he told the official that there is a large gold mine in the north of your kingdom, and he plans to give me that gold mine and let me help them." ”
After speaking, he looked at Rahman's men.
"Li Shilang, the son of You Sufu, must be lying to you, there is no basis for what they say, they don't have many soldiers and horses now, it can be said that they have nothing, they are liars."
Rahman's men spoke.
Li An waved his hand and said, "The official knows, you go down!" The official is going to sleep for a while. ”
"Yes, retire next."
Rahman's men saluted and returned to their ships, and then Ang Lee saw two small boats on the big ship leaving quickly, and did not know what to do.
Li An just glanced at it and continued to rest, what are these guys doing, Li An can also guess eight or nine, these two small boats must be sending a message, one is to go to Córdoba to report to Rahman, the other should be ready to chase after Yusuf's son, or notify the nearby soldiers and horses, and make every effort to intercept Yusuf's son, if they can catch this big fish, they will be able to make a great achievement.
"Li Shilang, it looks like they're going to chase the two people just now."
The subordinates saw Li An open his eyes and spoke.
Li An nodded and said: "That's right, they want to catch Yu Sufu's son, but since people dare to take the risk to come, they must have thought of a way out, and besides, the young man just now didn't say a word, who knows who he is, he said that his son of You Sufu, must it be true?" There are more people with the same body and looks, and we don't know Yusuf anyway, let alone his son. ”
"What Li Shilang said is that this son of You Sufu may really be a fake, if so, it doesn't matter if they catch up, it's just a fake little minion."
The subordinate spoke.
"A kid who can't prove his identity, actually wants to give the official a mountain of gold, and asks the official to help him, I really don't know what he has in his head."
Li An opened his mouth and sighed.
"What Li Shilang said is that if you believe this kid of unknown origin, it will really be a big loss."
The subordinate said.
"We're in Córdoba in two days, and it's good to see them, at least to be able to tell Rahman about it and scare him, which doesn't seem like a loss to us."
Li An said.
"What Li Shilang said is, however, if those two people are caught, our plan will be greatly affected, I hope they can run faster and don't get caught."
The subordinate said evilly.
Li An agreed and said: "That's the truth, those two guys will definitely not be caught, they will definitely be able to escape to a safe place." ”
For the Rahman Kingdom, if the main figures of the opponents can be caught, it will be of great benefit to stabilize the power of the kingdom, and once the kingdom is stabilized, it will also be of great benefit to the people living here, but for Ang Lee, there is not much benefit, so Ang Lee does not want the main figures of the opposition to be caught, even if they are small minions, because then their bargaining chips will be gone, so it is a mountain of gold?
How many gold mines there are in the Rahman Kingdom, Li Ang is not very clear, because the gold mines are only gold mines after they are discovered, and if they are not discovered, they are very ordinary mountains.
The number of gold mines in the world itself should hardly change, but because gold mines need to be discovered by people before they can be known, the number of gold mines will increase, because people will continue to discover new gold mines.
The territory of the Rahman Kingdom is not very large, so the number of gold mines is not estimated to be very large, and it is not very attractive to the Tang Dynasty.
Datang's own gold mines are inexhaustible, and in addition, there are a large number of gold mines in Australia and the Americas, all of which are Datang's territory, and some are mined.
The men sent by his subordinates soon returned to Córdoba and reported to Rahman exactly what Ang had done with Yusuf's son.
When Rahman heard the news, he was still quite nervous, because of the remnants of Yusuf's forces, he had not eliminated them for a long time, if these traitors really got the help of the Tang Dynasty, the consequences would be serious, such as Osman, who was himself a general with 10,000 troops, and after getting the help of Li An, he quickly developed to the size of an army of 100,000, and even laid down a large area of the country, and fought against himself.
If Yousuf's son also gets help, then his position will be in jeopardy, and the country he has worked so hard to build will probably change hands.
It took a lot of effort for Rahman to sit on the throne, and it can be said that he is walking on thin ice, and if he loses it like this, he is extremely unwilling.
"King, this guy Yusuf is really haunted, after he died, his son gathered the old department to keep doing things, which brought us a lot of losses, if they hadn't destroyed everywhere, maybe we could have caused even greater losses to this guy Charlie, so that he couldn't go south for three or five years."
The subordinate said angrily.
Rahman frowned and said: "Who knows if this is true or not, the people of the Tang Dynasty have never seen You Sufu's son, let alone the people of the Tang Dynasty, even I, I don't know what You Sufu's son looks like, and I don't know if this guy lives in this world." ”
"The king means that someone is using the name of Yusuf's son to gather people and horses to confront the court?"
The subordinate quickly understood what Rahman meant, and spoke.
"It's not that there is no such possibility, but, regardless of whether this turtle son is real or not, his existence is very troublesome, if Datang really helps them, then our situation is not good, even if Datang doesn't help them, at least they will ask for something from us, they won't come in vain, there must be a purpose."
Rahman said with great certainty.
The subordinates also nodded and said: "Zhangkou is a gold mine, compared to this, the gold beads we can give to the Tang officials seem a little cold." ”
"The gold mountain is ours, and it must not be given to Datang, I believe that the officials of Datang are not stupid, they will not believe those empty checks, but what do they want? Can we afford it? ”
Rahman said with a frown.
"King, I believe that their requirements will not be very high, it must be acceptable to us, if the Tang Dynasty is too much, we will not agree, as long as they arrive in the royal city, we can sit down and talk about many things, there is nothing inappropriate to discuss."
The subordinate spoke.
Rahman nodded and said: "I know this, it's only two days, we have to make all kinds of preparations, urge the people in front as soon as possible, hurry up and figure out the purpose of the Tang officials here, I can't figure out the purpose of the other party, this is too passive." ”
Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the truth summed up by the ancestors of China is absolutely an eternal truth, as long as you understand the situation of the other party and understand your own situation, in this way, you can put yourself in a favorable position and not be too passive.
"King, I'll go back and urge."
The henchman said.
"King, news has come from the front that Yusuf's son disappeared after he came ashore, and we sent more than a thousand men, but we did not find them."
Soon, very bad news came from the front.
Rahman's expression was very bad, and he waved his hand, telling everyone to go down, he needed to be quiet to clear his thoughts.
However, Rahman could not be quiet, and soon news came from the north that Charlemagne had sent envoys to negotiate with Rahman to determine the border between the two countries, and that they would never invade each other.
The dispatched ministers have already entered the border and are rushing to Córdoba, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Córdoba in two or three days.
In desperation, Rahman continued to gather his subordinates to discuss how to deal with such a thing.
In Rahman's heart, how could Charlemagne, this guy, really negotiate with them to demarcate the border, most of them came to investigate the enemy's situation, first understand Rahman's strength, and then, in order to better send troops, but after all, the other party is holding the banner of what to talk about, so Rahman can't turn him away, otherwise, once Charlie is provoked, the north will not want to be stable.
Therefore, despite being skeptical about the sincerity of Charlie's peace talks, the Rahman clique had no choice but to agree to the other party's request for peace talks and let the other side's peace talks enter its own borders.
Of course, even if the peace negotiators are not allowed to enter the country, Charlemagne still has a way to obtain the information of the Rahman Kingdom, because the merchant group cannot give up doing business for their own interests, and Charlemagne's meticulous work can be completely mixed into the business team, so as to smoothly enter the Rahman Kingdom, so as to obtain all kinds of information about the Rahman Kingdom.
"King, it's going to be lively now, two or three days later, the people of the Tang Dynasty will come, and Charlemagne's peace talks will also arrive, in case they meet, maybe something will happen?"
"King, we are very passive now, not only have we not figured out the purpose of the Tang Dynasty people coming here, but we have also not figured out the sincerity of Charlie's peace talks, so we are too passive."
"The king, You Sufu's son suddenly jumped out, and he also met with Li Shilang of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that Li Shilang should know that this person is our enemy, but he didn't catch it and handed it over to us, what is this for!"
The ministers said nervously.
