Gao Shang walked into the main hall and arched his hand: "King, the envoy of the Great Food Country, Aziz, asks to see!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "Why is it him again?" Tell him that we have handed Prince Mahdi back to them, and since the handover is complete, it will not be our business if something happens to Mahdi again! ”

Gao Shang said: "Great King, Wei Chen thinks that it is not a way for you to always avoid him, it is better to directly stab him with the news that Mahdi has been snatched away by the people of the Eastern Roman Empire, and let the Great Food Country verify it himself, the Great Cannibal must have a fine work in Constantinople, and it should not be too difficult for them to check this matter!" ”

Zhao Ziliang began to think about this matter, and Wang Can walked in from outside the palace at this time to report: "Your Majesty, news has come from Crimea that a large-scale war has broken out between the Bulgarian Khanate and the Eastern Roman Empire!" ”

Zhao Ziliang involuntarily stood up and asked, "Tell me the details!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Can clenched his fists in agreement, and immediately walked under the map hanging on the wall on the side of the main hall.

"Great King, last year after the new Bulgarian king Tretzi succeeded to the throne, he began to launch a large-scale southern invasion, in the northern Thrace region of the Eastern Roman Empire, a large number of Bulgarians and Slavs stopped plundering and left, they killed all the Eastern Romans in the north of Thrace, occupied their fields, lived directly in their houses, and occupied everything for themselves, and at the same time they also instigated the Bulgarians and Slavs in the Eastern Roman Empire to revolt, This is why Constantine V of the Eastern Roman Empire decided to wage a large-scale war with the Bulgarian Khanate".

Wang Can said this, and drew two places on the map with a command pole and said: "At the beginning of this year, Constantinople launched a large army, on the fifth day of the second month, the army of the Eastern Roman Empire was divided into two ways to attack the Bulgarian Khanate by water, and a fleet crossed the sea from the Black Sea into Bulgaria by water, and the land route was led by Constantine V himself to attack from Thrace and Acharus, and the Eastern Roman Empire was repeatedly blocked by the Bulgarian Khanate on the land offensive route, but due to the huge difference in weapons and equipment between the two sides, And the Bulgarian army was only good at attacking and not at defense, so every time the Bulgarian army was completely annihilated! The Bulgarian Khan had to set up a heavy defensive line in the mountains to resist the attack of the Eastern Roman Empire, this strategy effectively delayed the attack of Constantine V, but Constantine V's combat experience was obviously much richer than that of the new ascending Terretz, and he was ready to bypass these mountainous defenses and directly attack Susedava and Novae on the Danube! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Constantine V wants to blossom behind the back of Terötz? ”

Wang Can nodded and said: "Obviously, Constantine V obviously has this intention, if his campaign goal is achieved, then the Bulgarian Khan King Teler will definitely be defeated this time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and walked around in front of the map, thinking. Gao Shang next to him said at this time: "No wonder the Eastern Roman Empire has been hiding the news since sending someone to capture the prince of the Great Eclipse, Mahdi, it turns out that they don't want to make trouble, it seems that they want to wait until the Bulgarian Khanate is solved and then free up their hands to settle accounts with the Great Eclipse Country!" If we tell the Great Cannibal now the news of where Teleci was kidnapped and imprisoned by the Eastern Roman Empire, and let the Great Cannibal go to the trouble of the Eastern Roman Empire, this show will be good! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while and said: "The Eastern Roman Empire is our No. 2 enemy in the future, and if we can effectively weaken the national strength of the Eastern Roman Empire, it is not a worthwhile thing for us." In this way, Wang Can, you will tell the envoy of the Great Food Empire, Aziz, that Mahdi was robbed by the Eastern Roman Empire and where he was secretly imprisoned, so that the Great Cannibal can go to the trouble of the Eastern Roman Empire! ”

"Yes!" Wang Can agreed, and said: "But what if the Eastern Roman Empire chooses to swallow its anger this time in order to win the war with the Bulgarian Khanate, and exchange the Mahdi for the Great Food Country?" Won't they be able to fight? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Aren't we people inside Constantinople?" Tell him the news in advance, use this force to kill Mahdi on the way to rescue Mahdi and escape back to the Great Food Country, as long as Mahdi dies in the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire, the probability of the Great Food Country sending troops to attack the Eastern Roman Empire is more than sixty percent! ”

Wang Can promised: "Understood! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked the eunuch to go outside to bring in Aziz, who was still waiting, and after Aziz entered the hall, he saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Aziz, the envoy of the foreign minister, the Great Food Country, pays a visit to the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" Your Excellency Aziz, have you come to see this king today for the sake of Prince Mahdi? ”

Aziz said, "Yes, King! According to our original agreement, your country should have returned Prince Mahdi to us half a year ago, but until now your country has not fulfilled its commitment. And the two hundred soldiers we sent to greet His Royal Highness have disappeared without a trace. Your country should always have a statement on this, right? More than half a year has passed, and the king has been avoiding me, and our caliph is already very unhappy about it, and if your country continues like this, sooner or later it will lead to a dispute between the two countries! Now there are already ministers in our country clamoring to send troops to Western Qin and start a war on the grounds of revenge for Prince Mahdi! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Excellency Aziz, don't be impatient, it's not that I, Xiqin, refuse to return Prince Mahdi, this king has told you several times, we have sent Prince Mahdi to the predetermined place within the agreed time in accordance with the provisions of the agreement and handed it over to the army of your country to meet you." As for why Prince Mahdi did not return to Baghdad, this also makes us very puzzled, this king has been asking General Wang to send someone to investigate this matter for several months, and now there is finally a result, let General Wang tell you the specific situation in detail! ”

Aziz hurriedly looked at Wang Can and asked; "General Wang, what the hell is going on? A prince and two hundred soldiers who greeted him disappeared without a trace, and there is still no news after half a year, there must be an explanation for this matter, and your country should also have an explanation, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the caliph, and the caliph will not be able to explain to the tens of millions of subjects of the great food country! ”

"Your Excellency Aziz, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly!" Wang Can comforted and said: "In the past few months, I have been sending people to investigate this matter, and I finally had an eyebrow half a month ago, and I immediately sent someone to investigate, but I didn't expect to find the traces of Prince Mahdi." According to our investigation, our escort did personally hand over Prince Mahdi to the army that came to meet you, and after our personnel left, Prince Mahdi and the 200 soldiers who greeted him were attacked by unknown armed forces, and after several months of investigation, we did not find out who did this, but we found out the whereabouts of Prince Mahdi! ”

"What?" Aziz's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately asked, "Where is Prince Mahdi?" ”

Wang Can said: "He is now imprisoned in the secret prison of the gladiatorial arena in Constantinople!" ”

Aziz's face changed, and his mouth opened wide, "How could His Royal Highness the Prince be imprisoned in the secret prison of the Duel Arena in Constantinople?" It's also unbelievable! ”

Wang Can spread his hands and said: "The matter is already obvious, doesn't Your Excellency Aziz still understand that this is the Eastern Roman Empire's revenge for Prince Mahdi's plot to assassinate Julius last time!" The Eastern Roman Empire is too far away from the agreed location between our two sides, they should not have sent troops directly, otherwise they would not be able to avoid the sight of the border patrol cavalry of your two countries, I guess they should have invited mercenaries to do this, you also know that whether it is my Western Qin, or your country, or Oghuz and Flower Thorn Zim, there are some people who rely on doing this kind of thing to make a living, as long as the Eastern Roman Empire is willing to spend money, there will be many people rushing to do it! If Your Excellency Aziz doubts the veracity of these words I have said, you may send someone to Constantinople to check it, and I am sure that your country must have planted a fine work in Constantinople, and you will find out if he is imprisoned there! ”

Aziz hurriedly saluted Zhao Ziliang and the others: "The king, the high, the general, the king, these days are really causing trouble to you, please the king, the general and the lord understand our feelings, I will immediately send the news back to China, if the news of your country is true, I will definitely come again to thank the king in person for everything he has done for this!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "This king also knows that Your Excellency is anxious to inform your Caliph of this news, so I won't leave Your Excellency any longer, go slowly!" ”

"The minister retires!"

After Aziz left, Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Can: "Send people to keep an eye on the movements of the Great Food Country, and see if they send people to Constantinople to investigate and rescue, if there is, according to what this king said before, Mahdi must not be allowed to return to the territory of the Great Food Country alive!" ”

"Yes, King!"

After Wang Can left, Zhao Ziliang got up and rubbed his face, and asked Gao Shang: "Is there any news from Chu Ge?" How is the war of the Eastern Expeditionary Army attacking the 36 city-states of Northern Tianzhu? ”

Gao Shang said: "Back to the king, since General Chu sent someone back half a month ago to send back the news that three city-states have been captured, and yesterday there was news that during this time, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has taken two more city-states one after another, according to this speed, the Eastern Expeditionary Army should have no problem solving all the thirty-six city-states of Northern Tianzhu within half a year!" ”

He Zhao Ziliang said to Gao Shang: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, although this king said that he was very relieved that Chu Ge led the army to conquer the thirty-six city-states of Northern Tianzhu, in fact, he was still very worried, Chu Ge followed me to call the old subordinates, and he also learned seven or eight points of my skills, but this is the first time he has led the army to conquer a country alone, whether he has the ability to command his subordinates, maintain the unity among the generals under his command, and whether he has the ability to arrange everything, Do you have the ability to keep the morale of the army high and in the best fighting condition, and whether you have the ability to control the servant army and let them pick up weapons to fight together! ”
