The Tang army actually temporarily adjusted the formation of the military formation, the governor of the Great Food Country Khorasan Said, wanted to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, but he found that the Tang army sent not all the soldiers and horses, but less than half, it seems that the other party still has reserves, and the time for the other party to adjust the formation of the army formation is very short, his side has not completely established the position, the soldiers' fighting spirit has not fully risen, at this time the attack is too hasty in time, he can only watch the Tang army calmly adjust the formation, But he couldn't fully grasp the mystery of the Tang Army's formation.

Both sides were finally prepared, and the Tang army, which had no mission to fight and was in reserve, was all assembled at the foot of the hill on the left rear side of the battlefield, on which were the well-deployed infantry of the Tang army, and Zhao Ziliang's headquarters was located here, and he stood on a large rock on the top of the hill and observed the preparations of both sides with binoculars.

When we go to the battlefield, it does not mean that we can fight right away, it takes time for the army to arrange the formation, the soldiers need time to make psychological preparations, and the generals and officers need time to cheer up and cheer up the soldiers.

Zhao Ziliang saw that both the enemy and us were almost ready, so he jumped off the boulder and rode the Wuli horse to gallop down the mountain, shouting as he ran: "Brehan, find someone who can talk big food with you!" ”

Brehan took a few servants and a translator to run in front of the road, so that the soldiers in front of him could vacate a passage to come out, and Zhao Ziliang rode a Uli horse from the vacated passage to the front of the army.

When he came to the front of his own military formation, Zhao Ziliang dropped a sentence and asked Brehan and the others not to follow, and he took the interpreter and the flag officer to hold the flag and galloped to the middle of the two armies to stop.

"I am Zhao Ziliang, the chief general of the Tang Army, please come forward and speak!" After Zhao Ziliang shouted loudly at the Great Food Army Array, he motioned to the translators to translate.

The translator was a Shiguo person, he immediately translated Zhao Ziliang's words loudly into Da Shihua, riding a horse at a slightly higher place, Said, who saw a few people from the Tang Army, some of them still holding the banner of army generals, and heard the opposite side shouting, so he asked: "What is the other party talking about?" ”

A Kang Guoren next to him said to Said: "Lord Governor, the other party said that he is Zhao Ziliang, the chief general of the Tang Army, please come forward and speak!" ”

When a subordinate general heard this, he immediately said: "Lord Governor, I heard that the people of the Tang Kingdom are very cunning, and your Excellency must not rush into battle, otherwise it is easy to be plotted by the people of the Tang Kingdom!" ”

Since Said was able to achieve the official position of governor of Khorasan, he was naturally not a person who lacked courage, and he smiled indifferently: "The main generals of the Tang army are not afraid of our plots, so why am I afraid of the plots of the Tang people?" If I don't speak to him, won't I be laughed at as cowardly as a mouse, the governor of Khorasan, the great eater? ”

After speaking, Said pointed to Kang Guoren: "You go with me, what he said, you have to translate it to me word for word, word for word, and you must also translate what I said to him word for word in Chinese, understand?" ”

When Kang Guoren heard that he was asked to go to the front of the battle to answer the question, he was so frightened on the spot that he trembled, and said tremblingly: "Lord Governor, the villain doesn't dare, the villain is afraid of death, these two armies are too dangerous in front of the formation, and if you are not careful, your life will be gone."

"Hmph, this governor asked you to go, that is to lift you, you dare not go? Believe it or not, I immediately ordered someone to cut off your head? Said intimidated, and then reassured him: "You don't have to be afraid, you are just a translator, if they want to kill, they will only target me, and will not trouble you, if you behave well this time, this governor will reward you with ten gold coins when you return!" ”

When the people of Nakang heard that they could get gold coins as payment, they were not afraid, and hurriedly agreed; "Yes, yes, Lord Governor, even if the villain gives up his life, he will accompany you on a trip!"

Said nodded, and immediately lit the flag bearer, held his flag, and rode his horse with the interpreter to the front of the battle from a slightly higher place behind.

The two were only a dozen meters apart, and the standard-bearer and interpreter were slightly behind half a horse, and Sayyid stopped and shouted loudly: "General of Tang State, what do you want to say to this governor?" ”

Shi Guoren translated his words into Chinese as they were, Zhao Ziliang listened to it, and shouted: "General Ben has already introduced himself, doesn't the general of the Great Food Country know the etiquette?" ”

Said did forget about this stubble, and after listening to Kang Guoren's translation, his face was a little unbearable, but he still cheekily said his name and official position: "I am Said, the governor of Huroshan Province in the Great Food Country, what does General Zhao of Tang want to say to me?" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically: "Baishui City and Henglus City are the cities and territories of Shiguo, and Shiguo is a subject country of my Tang Empire, General Said's capture of Baishui City and Henglus City is equivalent to declaring war on Shiguo, and declaring war on Shiguo is equivalent to declaring war on our Tang Empire, is this the will of your Umayyad Caliph (political and religious leader, equivalent to emperor) Marwan II?" ”

Zhao Ziliang doesn't know much about the history of the Arab Empire, but the last emperor of the Umayyad Dynasty, he still knows that just next year, the white-clothed Great Food Country will suffer a civil strife, and the leader of the Hashemite family, Abu? Abbasid relied on the military power of the Persian Abu ****** to revolt in Khorasan Province, and then the revolt broke out in full force in the territory of the Arab Empire, and soon Marwan II's army was defeated, and he himself fled to Egypt, but two years later he was killed in Egypt, and almost all members of his royal family were killed by Abu ? The Abbasids were wiped out, and the Umayyad dynasty was finally officially destroyed in 750 AD. Rahman fled to North Africa to escape the Abbasids, and in 755 he fled to Spain, where he founded the post-Umayyad dynasty in 756 A.D., becoming the first caliph of the post-Umayyad dynasty. And Abu? The Abbasids, on the other hand, gained the support of most of the rebel leaders and established the Abbasid dynasty, leaving aside Abu ******, the greatest contributor to the uprising, and only making him the governor of Khorasan.

Said was shocked after listening to the translator's words, he didn't expect that such a small general of Tang State would also know the name of the king of the Great Food Country, and at the same time he was shocked by Zhao Ziliang's ingenious questioning, the other party was obviously asking him, whether this war was the emperor's intention, or he himself made his own opinions, whether he said that it was the emperor's will, or he himself made his own decisions, in the end, the country would not be able to spare him.

However, after all, he is a person who is the governor, and his adaptability is not bad, he immediately said: "This is not the will of our caliphate, nor is it my own decision, but the cavalry of Shi Guo crossed the border without authorization and invaded the territory of my Great Food Country, slaughtering several villages in my Khorasan Province, I, Sayyid, as the governor of Khorasan Province, naturally have the responsibility to guard the territory, protect the territory and the people, and also have the right to punish the enemies who slaughtered our people!" ”

Speaking of which, Said's meaning is that the people of Shiguo are the first to offend, and he is just fighting back.

These words made the Shi Guo translator next to Zhao Ziliang furious, and he did not translate Said's words to Zhao Ziliang, but directly reprimanded Said angrily in the big food language: "Nonsense, you are purely framing and framing, our Shi Guo cavalry has not entered your Great Food Country at all, and has never slaughtered your villagers, you are just making excuses for your aggression!" ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't understand what he was saying, but he was very annoyed, this guy was just a translator he found, even if this person was the envoy of Shi Guo stationed in Broken Leaf City, he had no right to intervene at this moment, he scolded angrily: "You shut up for me, there is no time for you to express your opinion here, if you express your opinion without authorization, Hugh blames General Ben for turning his face and being ruthless!" Tell me, what did he just say? ”

After being scolded by Zhao Ziliang like this, the people of the Shi Kingdom also realized that they had made a big mistake, and hurriedly said in shame: "I'm sorry general, the villain is so angry, he actually said that the cavalry of my Shi Country invaded their territory first and slaughtered their villagers, and they sent troops to attack us, in fact, there is no such thing at all, they are framing and making excuses for invading our country!" ”

"I don't care if this is true, or if they are making excuses for your country now, everything here is up to me, and it is not your turn to point fingers here, if you intervene indiscriminately, General Ben will cut off your head with a knife, do you understand?"

Seeing Zhao Ziliang staring at him viciously, Shi Guo's translator was immediately frightened, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, the villain remembers, this kind of thing will never happen again!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't care about this matter anymore, he turned his head to look at Said, and said loudly: "Governor Said, whether the general really entered your country and slaughtered your country's villages, or whether it was an excuse made by the governor to invade Shiguo, these are not important, the important thing is that the governor's behavior violates the dignity of my Tang Empire, and such behavior must be punished, if the governor is willing to write a written apology in person, compensate for the losses, and lead the army to withdraw from the territory of the stone country, On behalf of the Tang Empire and the King of the Stone Kingdom, this general can not blame the governor for his previous behavior, otherwise, we can only fight on the battlefield! ”

Said was silent, Zhao Ziliang's suggestion was a good step for him to go down now, because his current strength is too small and too few, although the Tang army is a group of rabble put together, but after all, it has an absolute advantage in the number of troops, in this face-to-face, no tricks at all, such a huge gap in strength can hardly be made up, unless a miracle occurs.

But Said, a man of faith and a man of pride, how could he be willing to spit out the fat that he had just eaten in his mouth under pressure? So after being silent for a long time, he categorically refused: "General Zhao, I am stating the facts, but you don't care whether it is right or wrong, in this case, what else do we have to talk about?" We cannibals will not compromise with evil! ”

"Hmph, who is evil and who is righteous? I'm afraid that only whoever has the biggest fist can decide, Lord Governor, go back and get ready, I will definitely not be soft! After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he pulled the reins, turned around and ran towards his own formation, and Said also turned his horse's head and ran towards his own military formation.
