Chapter 497: The Meeting of the Two Kings
Byzantium had fallen into decline to the point where it could not bear to look at it directly. It's really easy to take there. But only if Khorezm can gain a foothold on the borders of Kievan Rus'. Otherwise, don't think about going to the Byzantine side.
Amin has been in the vizier for so long, and his head is not confused. Therefore, even if Grichen bragged for a long time, his heart was like a mirror. He said with a difficult face: "The kingdom has treated me so kindly, and Khorezm is really grateful." However, the relocation is large, and it needs to be discussed with the Sudan. ”。
In fact, Mahamat handed over the matter of this peace negotiation to him. But in this situation, he can't say too decisively. Under the guise of Mahamat, he suppressed this matter for the time being.
He didn't think that he would be able to facilitate peace talks right away, so he reminded him loudly: "This is naturally acceptable!" But I also have something to remind the vizier! The lord of the kingdom has said that Khorasan and Khorezm are currently enemy countries. Therefore, although the peace talks are peaceful, the war must continue to be fought. ”。
That's the threat!
If peace talks fail for a day, the war will not stop for a day. Even though the two countries are now separated by the riverbank, they are not fighting. But it is not certain when Khorasan crossed the Kuzhang River and suddenly attacked the camp. So when Amin listened, his heart immediately chuckled, and his face turned a lot whiter.
Ali Shir-Ude is a man of the army! After listening to this for a long time, I only felt aggrieved. I couldn't help but say anymore: "I have 100,000 people who detain Xuan in Khwarazmo!" With the war, Khorasan also had to be prepared to die and break the net. ”。
Amin listened, but didn't stop him. After all, he was holding his breath in his heart! There is Sil-Ud to talk about, so that Khorasan may know. Khorezm is not a fat sheep to be slaughtered!
When Grechin heard this, he looked at Ali Shir-Ude with a bit of a strange color. Then he grinned and said loudly: "The people of the Ali family, are they all so angry?" By the way, you must not have met your eldest brother, have you? It just so happened that Commander Ali Hilrid was in the camp. You two brothers, you can tell the story. ”。
"My big brother?!" , Ali Shir-Ude said in surprise.
"Hill Reed?!" , Amin also looked very surprised.
"Yes! Commander Ali Hilrid has abandoned darkness and turned to light, and has led an army alone. Ginghin explained with a smile.
In order to better disintegrate the military spirit of Khorezm, and strive for more Khorezm civil ministers and generals to take refuge. Li Chengji specially crowned Ali Shirrid as a thousand-legged commander, making him the horse bone that the daughter buys a horse bone.
The effect is not yet obvious! But when Khorezm is defeated, there will naturally be a time to appear.
"My eldest brother wasn't captured, how could it be?" , Ali Sir-Ud has respected the most since childhood, except for Ali Silvard, is his eldest brother Ali Sir-Ud. So it was hard to believe that Ali Sir-Ud had become the commander of the thousand commanders of Khorasan.
Although Amin was slightly shocked, it was not unacceptable. Because he knew that Ali Silvad, who seemed to be the most loyal old military general, had already taken refuge in Kedun. It's just that Mahamat didn't know about this all along.
Because of this, he is not unacceptable to Ali Hilrid to become the commander of the thousand commanders of Khorasan.
"If you don't believe me, go to the tent of Commander Ali Hirrid. Whether it's true or not, you can see it at a glance. Grechin still smiled softly.
Hearing this, Ali Shir-Ude's heart could no longer be calm. He said goodbye to Amin and was led down by the cathar soldiers.
Obviously, the brothers have a lot to say when they meet. Amin waited in the tent of the cathar for two hours. Ali Hil-Ude and Ali Hilred went inside one after the other.
"Vizier!" Ali Hilrid saluted him. Although he is no longer in the same camp, he is an old friend. So some face-to-face things still have to be done.
Amin is angry with Hillred! But at present, it is better to curry favor with Khorasan, and it is not possible to be too cold to Hilrid. followed the return salute and exchanged a few words.
At this time, the Grechin who went to pay homage to Li Chengji also came! Seeing that the two brothers were also there, he said loudly: "Haha! You two brothers are together! It's time to tell the story. But ---", speaking of this, he deliberately sighed and didn't say anything.
But Amin was immediately wary. Because although Ligrichin was clearly lamenting that the two Ali brothers could not stay for a while to catch up with the past, in fact, they were suspected of soliciting Ali Shir-Ud.
Goodbye, the faces of the two brothers were different, and they suddenly felt that this was extremely likely. I privately thought about how to deal with it.
Ignoring what Amin was thinking, he continued, "Just now I told the lord about the peace talks!" As he spoke, he said with a little embarrassment on his face: "The lord of the country is extremely dissatisfied with this!" He said that Khorezm was not sincere enough. Therefore, the Sultan is specially invited to meet by boat on the banks of the Kuzhang River tomorrow afternoon. ”。
"Tomorrow afternoon, meet by boat?" , Amin said in surprise.
"Exactly! If Khorezm really came for peace talks, then tomorrow at noon, we will meet on the banks of the Kuzhang River. Our lord will come as promised. ”。
"But--this ---", Amin seemed to have an unspeakable hidden way. After all, Khorasan is powerful, and it is difficult to say whether there is any ulterior motive when they meet on the banks of the Huzhang River. In the spirit of prudence, this matter must not be agreed.
Ignoring his concerns, he continued, "If you don't come, then we'll see you tomorrow!" ”。
After speaking, he unceremoniously ordered someone to send off the guest.
This made Amin, a little bit of a monk who was really confused. Because Gritschin said it well before, it is not as tough as it is now. But suddenly, he changed his mind and asked Mahamat to meet in person on the banks of the Kuzhang River.
When you think about it, it's really puzzling.
After returning to Khorezm's camp in this way, Mahamat immediately deduced that it was Li Chengji's conspiracy when he heard that Lee Seungji was going to let him meet him in person on the bank of the Kuzhang River. Although the other generals did not speak, they all speculated.
And in the cathar camp, the generals had heard of Khorezm's request for peace talks. But Li Chengji's request for Mahamo to meet on the bank of the Kuzhang River was a little puzzled. Like the scorns who are resting by the river after the whole training, begging them.
"You say, is the lord of the country trying to force the little old man of Mahamat to be captured?" , a cathar soldier looked at the bonfire on the other side and said loudly.
"Hey! Who knows! I see! As long as Mahamat is not stupid, he will definitely not meet on the riverside. ”,
"That's right! Maybe tomorrow will be a fierce battle! ”,
"Wouldn't that be better! I've wanted to beat up these Kipchak barbarians! ”,
"That's right! beat these Kipchak barbarians, so that they could not even return home. ”,
"Hahaha, that's it!" , The soldiers were discussing with each other, and their interest was getting higher and higher.
