Chapter 821: Prophecy
Qi Yade was very afraid of the Tang Iron Armor Legion that suddenly appeared on the battlefield, if Datang chose to intervene, their battle would be completely unfought, and if Datang made some unreasonable requests, he didn't know whether to agree or not, and promised Datang, maybe he couldn't explain to Mansour, but if they didn't agree, they knew that they were not the opponents of Datang's soldiers and horses, although they had an absolute advantage in strength.
For the current situation, Qi Yade could only observe quietly and figure out the purpose of Datang before he could start the next move, and in order to respond, he transferred the troops that were ready to attack the enemy reinforcements outside the south gate to the big battalion, canceling the combat preparations for this 10,000 soldiers and horses.
"General, the Don army sent several cavalrymen into the city of Maia, and soon returned, and soon after, Artik sent people out of the city and went to the Don army camp, I don't know what to do."
A subordinate came to report the situation.
"General, Artik has contact with the Tang Army, it seems that they are an alliance!"
"General, the situation is quite unfavorable for us, looking at the way they come and go, most of them are discussing how to deal with us!"
"General, our soldiers are already exhausted, if the elite of Datang launches a surprise attack on us, then we will really be defeated, our army's combat strength is too far from Datang, and it is really impossible to fight."
"General, while the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses have not yet moved, it is better to withdraw the troops now! The soldiers are generally war-weary, and they all want to return to Hurosan? ”
"Withdraw your troops! General, the grain and grass are no longer available, and we can no longer fight. ”
The subordinates persuaded.
Qi Yade spoke: "What you said is very reasonable, but if the Tang army is chasing behind, what should we do?" Since they're all here, we can't avoid it! We should take the initiative to get in touch with Datang and ask them about their requirements, as long as there is communication, we can solve the problems encountered. ”
"What the general said is that we should not avoid it, we should take the initiative to get in touch with Datang and ask them what they want to do."
The subordinate said approvingly.
Soon, Qi Yad sent his henchmen to the Tang army camp, while Qi Yad and his subordinates were anxiously waiting.
In the direction of the Tang Army camp, Li An is drinking coconut water, which is picked from the desert oasis on the way, the taste is very sweet, and it quenches your thirst after drinking, which can be called a good product that you can't forget after taking a sip.
Because there are more coconut fruits picked, almost all the soldiers can drink this delicious coconut water, and the morale of the soldiers is greatly boosted, and they live very happily.
"Big brother, Artik has sent someone, do you want to see it?"
Li Feiyu drank coconut water as he stepped in.
"Of course you want to see it, why not? Let him in, I have a lot more to say? ”
Li An is ready to pit Artik and Ziyad, of course he will not refuse to meet, if he doesn't meet, how can he pit them.
Soon, the henchmen sent by Artik entered Ang Lee's tent tremblingly, and saluted very respectfully, for fear that the slightest disrespect would cause Ang Lee's dissatisfaction.
"Did Artic get you here?"
Li An saw that this guy was too frightened to speak, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Yes, it was the city lord who asked me to come, our city lord was very happy to see the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses coming, our city lord has always admired the Tang Dynasty, and he has even more ......respect for Li Shilang."
This guy's kung fu is still very good, and he talks one by one.
"Okay, there is no need to say more about compliments, I think your city lord is weak-hearted! Otherwise, why didn't he come himself. ”
Li An said.
"Our city lord has always been dedicated to Datang, but he has never done anything harmful to Datang! How can you be weak-hearted? It's just that I don't quite understand, since the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses have arrived, why don't they enter the city? The conditions in the wild are simple and too cold. ”
The man spoke.
Li An smiled and said, "Tell the truth! We are afraid that after entering the city, it will cause a misunderstanding of Qiyad, so it is better to stay outside the city. ”
"Misunderstanding? What does Li Shilang mean? ”
The man broke out in a cold sweat.
Li An didn't hide it anymore, and said: "This official's heart supports your city lord, after all, we are friends!" But this official is a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, and he must obey the will of the imperial court in everything he does, and the imperial court does not allow this official to get involved in foreign wars at will, and this official can't help it! It's just that the official saw that Qi Yade was attacking the city very urgently, so he still couldn't help but take care of it, after all, your city lord is my friend, but what makes the official embarrassed is the opinion of the imperial court, if the official can't come up with enough reasons to explain to the imperial court, it will be very troublesome! ”
After speaking, he made a painful expression, as if he was really sad because he couldn't help his friend.
"Li Shilang, what kind of explanation does the Tang Imperial Court need to be satisfied, our city lord may be able to help."
The man spoke.
Li An thought for a while, and said: "Of course it's interests, the court is not willing to help outsiders for no reason, and is even more unwilling to offend other countries for no reason, if this official confronts Qi Yade for your city lord, the court will not agree, unless the interference of this official can bring huge benefits to the court, and the greater the interest, the greater the interference, the greater the interference, for example!" If your city lord gives the entire peninsula to the Tang Dynasty, then the official will open up a vast territory in the imperial court, and even if the army of Qi Yade is completely annihilated, there will be many people in the court who will speak for the official. ”
"This ...... This is definitely not good, Li Shilang is really good at laughing, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, how can he take a fancy to our peninsula? Ha ha! ”
The visitor said with a smile.
Li An smiled and said seriously: "Everything is possible, I'm just giving an example, to put it simply, the more benefits your city lord can give, the more we Datang can help you, on the other hand, the higher your city lord demands, the higher the price you have to pay." ”
cares so much about interests, where is this like a friend, the people who come have resentment in their hearts, but they don't dare to show it in the slightest on the surface, after all, Ang Lee's power is here, and they don't dare to have the slightest opinion.
"Okay, this official really can't help himself, you go back earlier and ask your city lord what he wants most and how much he can pay."
Li An said.
"Li Shilang, Qi Yade sent someone to come, see it or not."
A soldier shouted in to report.
Li An nodded, motioned for the soldiers to bring people in, looked at Artik's subordinates, and said: "Qi Yad also sent someone, if he can give more benefits to Datang, this official can't care about the friendship with your city lord, go back quickly!" ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Artik's subordinates to leave, after all, he was about to meet Ziyad's subordinates.
Artik's subordinates turned around and left Ang Lee's tent very helplessly, met Ziyad's subordinates at the door of the tent, glared at each other fiercely, and left with big strides.
This made Qi Yad's subordinates very scared, after all, Datang has been supporting Artik, if it weren't for the large number of weapons and equipment supported by Datang, with Altic's kind of goods, it would have been wiped out a long time ago, and at this moment, seeing Artik's subordinates come out of Li An's big tent, of course I was very nervous.
"See Li Shilang."
Qi Yade's subordinates are also very polite, but they seem to be more restrained, for fear that they will not be happy if they do not do well in any aspect, and if they kill him, he will have no place to reason.
"You general Ziyad are so imposing! In less than a day, 10,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out, which is worthy of the elite of Khorasan! Ha ha! ”
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare, compared with the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, it's far worse."
Ziyad's subordinates said modestly.
"Alright, let's talk about the subject! Ziyad asked you to come, why did you come? ”
Ang Lee asked.
"Our general admits that he has never offended Datang, let alone dare to be an enemy of Datang, and I don't know where the Datang Heavenly Army came from so far."
Ziyad's subordinate asked.
Li An thought for a moment and said, "Of course your general didn't offend the Tang Dynasty, but your soldiers and horses are attacking Artik!" He is my friend, and he is also willing to give a lot of benefits to Datang, and even give the entire peninsula to Datang at any cost, in this way, how can this official not come, if Artik is really so bold, Maia City is the city of Datang, you attack the city of Datang, can this official not take care of it? ”
"This ...... This is impossible, Artik will not give the peninsula to Datang, if it is true, where should he stay? ”
Ziyad's subordinates said excitedly.
Li An smiled: "What are you excited about, this official is just an example, as the parent official of Datang, he has to consider the interests of Datang everywhere, and many times he can't help himself." ”
General Qi Yade hurriedly said: "Li Shilang, our soldiers are no longer willing to continue to attack the city, we are discussing retreating to Khorasan, and we will definitely not embarrass the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li An smiled: "Of course, this is a good feeling, but your attack on the city annoyed Artik, and he proposed to let us send troops to the Tang Dynasty to exterminate you all, but the official did not agree, but if Artik continues to offer a higher price, I am afraid, the official will not be able to do anything, and these soldiers under the command of the official are very greedy for money." ”
"I understand, if I understand Li Shilang's difficulties, I will definitely persuade the general, and I will not disappoint the Tang Dynasty soldiers."
Ziyad's subordinate spoke.
Obviously, Li An was blackmailing, extorting the money of Qiade's army, but Qiade's subordinates did not hesitate at all, and directly agreed on behalf of Qiyad, which shows that he is really afraid of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, and his courage has been shattered.
Li An nodded, looked at this person, and asked, "If your general retreats like this, won't he be punished?" ”
"This ...... Maybe, but we're all on the general's side, it's a big deal, it's not a big deal. ”
Ziyad's subordinate spoke.
Li An stood up, looked at this person appreciatively, and said: "That's too good, people should have some backbone, if the caliph doesn't defend loyalty, why should you be loyal, how good it is to let your general stand on his own, and I have a prophecy, you can tell your general." ”
"What prophecy?"
Ziyad's subordinate asked.
Li An opened his mouth and said: "You Harry have a temper tantrum and will kill your general sooner or later, as well as your general's superiors, that is, Ziyad and Abu ***. ”
"Prophecy, is it true?"
Ziyad's subordinate asked in horror.
Li An smiled and said: "Of course this is true, then there can be fake, believe it or not, it depends on your general, you just have to pass the word." ”
"Yes, Li Shilang, then retire under the next, if there is anything, we will communicate at any time."
Ziyad's subordinate spoke.
Li An nodded and motioned for Ziyad's subordinates to leave.
After Qi Yade's subordinates left, Li Feiyu walked into the big tent and said happily: "The eldest brother is really powerful, he easily subdued both of them, and by the way, he also provoked the relationship between Qi Yad and Mansour, hahaha!" ”
"What is provoking, eldest brother is reminding Qi Yade, you don't know, your eldest brother knows astronomy and geography, and has the ability to predict the unknown, he is really kind!"
Li An shook his head and said.
"Big brother, Mansur really wants less Ziyad and Abu***! Why! This is his fierce general! ”
Li Feiyu asked puzzled.
"What about the fierce general, Mansur is suspicious by nature, how can he let someone stronger than himself live for too long? It's only a matter of time before it kills. ”
Li An said.
"Wow! This is really cruel, he actually wants to kill the hero, it seems that Ziyad should be careful, I hope he can listen to the eldest brother, but if he really listens to the eldest brother, there will be one more country in the Arab world, which seems to be more beneficial to our Datang. ”
Li Feiyu said.
Li An nodded and said: "This is natural, it is because it is more beneficial for Datang to rebel and become independent once Qi Yade, so the eldest brother will kindly remind him, otherwise, the eldest brother will not be idle to remind him." ”
After returning to Maia City, Artik's subordinates immediately informed Altic of the information they had obtained, explained it, and told Altic that the men sent by Ziyad had also gone to see Ang Lee.
This made Artik and his subordinates very nervous, Li An came to take advantage of the fire to rob, not to help at all, which disappointed them too much, however, Li An's words were reasonable, and there was no flaw, even if he had any opinions in his heart, he could only hold it back, and there was no way to say it.
"Li Shilang, is this the whole peninsula? So what are we left with? ”
Altic said disappointedly.
"City lord don't worry, Li Shilang is just an analogy, as long as we don't ask for much, we won't have a lot to give to Datang."
The subordinate reassured.
"City Lord, we can lower our requirements now, just let Qi Yade withdraw his troops, so that Li Shilang will not ask too much, let alone let us exchange the entire peninsula."
Another subordinate said.
