Rahman thought of a variety of ways to deal with it, for example, he could use safety reasons to let Charlemagne's people stay in his post house honestly, so as to prevent them from meeting with the Tang officials, or even conspiring, but he always felt that it was a little inappropriate.

For another example, you can restrict the travel of Datang officials, tell them that there are thieves in the capital, and it is not too safe outside, so that Datang officials can stay honestly in the place where they live, try not to go out without permission, even if they want to go out, they should be accompanied by their people, so as to prevent Datang officials from encountering Charlemagne's people, of course, this will also be problematic, that is, it will lead to the dissatisfaction of Datang officials, which they cannot afford to offend.

Of course, you can also send people to handle the residences of the Tang officials and Charlemagne's subordinates respectively to prevent irrelevant people from contacting them, which is also a way, but it is still difficult, and you can't stop them from going out! In case they meet in the restaurant and the green building and get together, how can they be forcibly separated.

In short, Rahman thought of many ways in a row, but none of them could completely prevent Charlemagne from meeting with the Tang officials, and coercive means obviously could not be used casually, so as not to cause worse consequences.

After consulting with his subordinates, he still couldn't find the most suitable solution, which worried Rahman.

"King, since Charlie's purpose is to contact Datang, I'm afraid we can't stop it, and we don't know the purpose of Datang's trip, let alone where their final destination will be, in case they originally planned to go to Charlemagne's Empire, wouldn't our stopping lose its meaning, but would make both of them unhappy, so it would be better to let it go with the flow and let them meet."

One confidant suggested.

Rahman felt that it made sense, rather than being a wicked person, it was better to be a good man with an open heart, and since it was almost impossible to stop them from meeting, it was better to let them meet and it would be okay.

After Ang lived in Córdoba, he did not rush to explain his intentions, after all, to make territorial claims to Rahman, which itself has the meaning of bullying, although, there is a meaning for their good and protect them, but it is always necessary to ease up for a few days, as soon as they meet, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the other party to accept, to slowly cultivate feelings first, and then find the most suitable time to make a request, and finally take the port of Gibraltar in one fell swoop, this is the best and most secure way, and, The environment here is not bad, just come to travel, and by the way, let the subordinates go down to promote the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and let the people here worship the Tang Empire.

In addition, Li An's requirements for military discipline have always been relatively strict, although officers and soldiers are allowed to go to the Qinglou, but they will not be allowed to bully ordinary people, even if they are people from other countries, they are also not allowed to bully, and they must be very friendly to them, so as to improve the soft power of the Tang Empire, so that they can understand that the ordinary soldiers of the Tang Empire are high-quality people, so as to yearn for it more.

In addition to soft power, the dreaded hard power must also be shown, after arriving in Córdoba, Li An has already issued an order, let the ironclad cars under his command, patrol in groups inside and outside Córdoba, and, in places with many people in the city, ordinary people are allowed to visit nearby, but if someone wants to enter the interior, it will cost a small amount of money, in fact, it is not expensive, however, this can control the number of people who want to visit, so as not to cause confusion and cause personal injury accidents.

Since Li An's order was issued, half of the ironclad cars under his command have already begun to move, they either appear in the streets and alleys, meet everyone's attention slowly, or directly stop in the place with the most people, let the people take a closer look, touch the heavy ironclad, anyway, it can't be touched, and satisfy their curiosity is the most important.

In addition, in the crowd, it is inevitable that some people will be curious and want to go in to have a look, and the Datang soldiers just asked for a tip, so let them go in to satisfy their curiosity.

Of course, no matter how much money is given, you can't visit for too long, and you have to leave as soon as you have a cup of tea, so that more people can satisfy their curiosity and better promote the understanding of Datang in other countries.

Although, the requirement given by Datang is that as long as you have a little money, you can enter the interior and sit for a while, however, the crowd of onlookers is always divided into high and low, and small businessmen with low status, even if they can afford it, do not dare to squeeze forward, and let people with high status go up first to satisfy their curiosity, they can only go to the back row, and ordinary passers-by dare not spend money to visit.

At noon, the Datang soldiers directly locked the door of the ironclad car, and then left directly, and did not block the approach of the curious, after all, there are so many people on the scene, there is no chance to destroy the ironclad car, at most, it is to touch the ironclad, or, some naughty children, will climb to the top of the ironclad car to play prestige, and these behaviors will not cause any damage to the ironclad car, there will be no loss.

The people sent by Charlemagne were naturally quite interested in the ironclad cars of the Tang Dynasty, and they had been taking turns to observe these ironclad cars, and even went inside to see them, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time, and the shock was indescribable.

"The king asked us to come over to find out the truth of Datang, how do you think we should report?"

"Just report it truthfully, I know the king may not believe it, but we can only report it truthfully, and we won't report what we don't understand."

"Alright! It seems that this can only be the case, so do we want to contact the people of Datang. ”

"It's okay to say hello, but what gifts should we prepare? You can't chat empty-handed! ”

"When we came, the king didn't give us much money, and I want to prepare more expensive gifts, I'm afraid it's not realistic, let's get in touch first! You don't need to prepare gifts, just go to the Qinglou, and the restaurant can also be, as long as they are drunk, it will be easier to trap them. ”

On the second floor of a restaurant, Charlemagne's subordinates, through the window, saw the ironclad car below, so they began to talk.

I have to say that these guys' thinking is no problem, and in places such as restaurants and green houses, it is indeed very suitable for listening to all kinds of news, and you can get the information you want.

However, since they can think of this problem, how can Li Ang not think that along the way, Li Ang has used these places countless times to spread false news, so as to seek huge benefits for himself.

This time, of course, I won't let go of such an important opportunity, they all say that they are drunk and spit out the truth, and a group of people under Ang Lee's command specialize in talking nonsense after drinking, taking advantage of the opportunity that others think is drunk and spitting the truth, lying and deceiving people after drinking, and seeking benefits for Datang, the effect is not ordinarily good, it is simply too good.

Subsequently, a phenomenon soon appeared, that is, which restaurant the Datang officials go to, the business of the restaurant will become particularly good, where there are Datang officials, there will be good business, so that many businessmen who open shops regard Datang officials as the god of wealth, not only the service is more thoughtful, but also the meals are discounted, even lower than the cost price, and the most generous stores do not even charge the Datang officials for wine and food, so that the Datang officials eat and drink for nothing.

This is all voluntary by the store, but it is not that the Datang officials themselves want to eat the overlord meal, so this is absolutely not a violation of discipline, and the Datang officials will not have any psychological burden, they should eat and drink, and when they are full of food and drink, they start to tell lies, specifically to deceive these guys who want to find out the news, and there are a lot of truths in the lies, true and false are mixed together, making it completely impossible to distinguish which sentence is true and which sentence is false.

Generally, after the lying is over, these Datang officials need to lie on the table and sleep well to show that they are really drunk, so as to better convince people that what they just said is true.

After the false news was revealed, both Charlemagne's men and Rahman's people hurriedly reported it to their superiors.

After receiving such important news, Charlemagne sent a letter to send him back to the north, while Rahman's subordinates hurried to the palace to tell King Rahman about this matter and discuss it with Rahman.

Because many ministers have their own sources of information, they are almost always the first to learn about the situation, and only Rahman is the latest.

When all the men had entered the palace, Rahman came from his dwelling to consult with his servants about the matter.

"King, the purpose of Datang's trip is to build the Maritime Silk Road and help the countries along the way develop trade, which is completely well-intentioned and has no malicious intent."

"Having said that, those Tang officials also said that along the way, they captured pirate lairs, accepted land gifts from various countries, and established huge bases, each base has hundreds or thousands of elite soldiers, and the entire line is controlled as solid, and the next step is only afraid of ......"

"King, the Tang officials also said that the Ottoman guy has more than 100,000 troops, more than our soldiers and horses, and the strength should not be underestimated, if it weren't for the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses to dissuade them, their expeditionary force would have already come, so if the Ottoman and Charles join forces to attack the north and south, our situation will be difficult."

"The Datang officials also said that only the Tang soldiers and horses stationed here can effectively prevent our confrontation with the Ottomans and ensure the safety of both of us, I don't know what it means."

"King, the Tang Dynasty seems to like our land, how can this be kind, it is a plot!"

Because different ministers have different channels, the information they can obtain is also different, but among them, there are also intersections, which can prove the authenticity of the information, and there is no contradiction at all.

Rahman listened to the conversation of his subordinates, and after synthesizing this information, he quickly came to the purpose of the Tang fleet's coming here, and his heart was suddenly quite complicated.

The Tang Dynasty seems to be interested in their land, and the land is a very sensitive issue no matter what era it is, Charlemagne went south to attack in order to seize the land they own, and the purpose of the Tang Dynasty is actually for the land.

At this moment, he seemed to think of something, he thought of a pot of irises that Ang Lee gave him, and even more thought of what Ang Lee said, he suddenly felt that Ang Lee liked the land here, fell in love with the irises here, and sent him a pot of irises to tell him that Datang needs land that can grow irises.

As soon as he thought of this, Rahman broke out in a cold sweat, if Datang really had a demand for land, then he would be in trouble, Charlemagne and Osman were enough to give him a headache, and Datang was much stronger than these two countries, just a small escort team that came over, and the strength was indescribable, not to mention the powerful power possessed by the distant Datang itself.

After seeing Datang's ironclad car with his own eyes, he felt that with the existing strength in Li An's hands, it was enough to occupy Moldova, if Datang sent forces from a distant homeland, he could easily occupy the entire Rahman Kingdom, and from the situation of Datang along the way, as long as it was a place that he liked, there was no one who could not get it, so, wouldn't it mean that as long as the place Datang fancied, it was the land of Datang, and there was no room for negotiation.

Any emperor attaches more importance to the territory, no emperor is willing to give up his land, but when needed, he can also give up, for example, when his dynasty is not in danger, he can use the price of giving up part of the land to let his dynasty exist for more time, which is the so-called lingering life, the pigtail dynasty is a very good example, again and again to cut the land and pay compensation, and finally delayed for decades before perishing.

And the Rahman Kingdom, although it has just been established, he calls himself the Umayyad Dynasty, and Rahman himself is also the prince of the Umayyad Dynasty, and this dynasty has been extinct for many years, that is to say, the original territory of the Umayyad Dynasty is very huge, and the Umayyad Dynasty in the hands of Rahman at this moment is very small, less than one-tenth of the territory before, and it is still a corner of the existence.

From this point of view, as long as Rahman does not recover his former territories and recognizes the new regime established on these lands, then his actions are a betrayal of the country, and he has sold ninety percent of his territory.

For example, the Great Song Dynasty in China, after being partial to the south of the Yangtze River, quickly recognized the Jin State occupying Jiangbei, which is equivalent to selling a large area of the country, which is a serious traitor.

Rahman doesn't want to cede the land, but his strength is still too weak, there are strong enemies in the north and south, if there is another strong enemy, life will not be easy, and, judging from the consistent practice of the Tang Dynasty, after obtaining the land, it will definitely give them a lot of benefits, in short, it will not let them suffer.
