When Aziz heard that the solution could be solved through diplomatic negotiations, he was immediately happy.
After all, the princes of the Great Food Country were beheaded for crimes in other countries.
If this kind of thing was told, the reputation would not be very good.
As long as he could keep the Great Food Country Face, even if you lose some profits, it is still worth it.
Aziz immediately asked: "I don't know what your country's requirements are."
Liu Dan said: "First of all, I want to make it clear that Prince Mahdi will not be acquitted under any circumstances.
If the country of Dashi can cede the Indus River Basin to our country, Prince Mahdi can have his sentence reduced and only be sentenced to death.
Sentenced to one year in prison” Aziz's face changed drastically: "This is impossible.
The land was given to us by Allah.
We will never cede it to anyone."
Liu Dan leaned back on the chair: "Your Excellency, your attitude and tone of conversation make it impossible for us to continue.
If your words can represent the will of the Caliph of the Great Food Country, then I can only express my regrets."
Aziz's face changed a few times and he said, "Mr.
Liu, you can put forward other conditions, and we can continue the negotiation.
For example, we can pay a ransom to redeem His Highness the Prince."
Liu Shan said: "Your Excellency, there is not much difference between paying ransom and ceding land.
Land can also be purchased with money, right?"
Aziz said forcefully: "We would rather pay ransom than cede the land."
Liu Dan thought for a while and said to Aziz: "Your Majesty Aziz, I tell you the truth, regarding the assassination and death of Julius, the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire, we have enough reasons and evidence to arrest you too.
Yes, your role in this matter is not much lighter than Mahdi’s.
The reason why we did not touch you is because we need An intermediary who can communicate with the Caliph of the Great Food Country.
If you block the communication channel between our two countries without asking the Caliph for instructions, then tomorrow the people from the patrol room will come to talk to you.
If you say Prince Mahdi If you may not be sentenced to death, then it will be difficult for you to say, after all, your identity is too far from that of Prince Mahdi."
"You guys" Aziz is obviously guilty of being a thief.
After Liu Dan said these words, his tough attitude just now disappeared, and his whole person became like an eggplant beaten by frost.
After a long time, Aziz asked desperately: "What do you want?"
"I just said that the Great Food Country will cede the Indus Valley region to our country.
We can guarantee that Prince Mahdi will be released after serving only one year, and you will be safe and sound.
Your Excellency Aziz, for your life, future and Your family, I strongly encourage you to think this through” Aziz made his final struggle and said excitedly: "Mr.
Liu, in the absence of an envoy, as the deputy envoy, I can act on behalf of the envoy with full authority.
Then I am entitled to enjoy diplomatic immunity.
You You can’t arrest me” Liu Dan, who was drinking tea, put down his tea cup and said seriously: "Your Excellency, the key is that your Dashi Kingdom has not officially appointed you to replace Prince Mahdi as its envoy, so you are not entitled to diplomatic immunity.
In addition, I would like to remind you that once If your country appoints other people as envoys, then your value will no longer exist.
The patrol house will definitely take quick action, so I advise you to use your current status to prove your value to the caliph of your country and to Prince Mahdi. role in everything” Aziz was stunned again, covered his forehead and said: "Well, I can only do my best to write a letter to the Caliph to state the relationship.
As for whether the Caliph will listen to my suggestion, that is not something I can control. " Liu Dan said with satisfaction: "Actually, the upper and middle reaches of the Indus River Basin are within our sphere of influence.
Your country only needs to cede the lower reaches of the Indus River to our country.
This land is not large.
You will suffer losses if you cede it to our country."
Not much.
You can tell Mansu that our Western Qin officials are still blocking the news.
Once we disclose to our subjects that Prince Mahdi of the Great Food Kingdom is in our country.
The news that the guards in the country have been ordered to kill many people and plotted to assassinate Julius, the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire, in order to blame me on the Western Qin Dynasty, will soon spread to the territory of Dashi Kingdom.
At that time, the people of Dashi Kingdom How will they view Prince Mahdi, the royal family and Caliph Mansoor?
This will probably seriously affect the reputation of the Dashi royal family among the people, and it will also affect the image of Caliph Mansoor in the hearts of believers."
Aziz asked: "When will Prince Mahdi's case be heard?"

Liu Shandao: "You or your country have five months."
What happened in Henros was quickly reported back to Baghdad, the new capital of the Great Food Kingdom, and the old capital was Kufa.
Caliph Mansur was furious when he heard the news.
Mansoor had more than one son, Mahdi.
For such a son, he was really unwilling to cede the lower reaches of the Indus River to Western Qin.
After his son was gone, he could regenerate, but if the land was ceded, he would have to take it back if he wanted.
It's difficult, but if Western Qin doesn't agree to its conditions, Western Qin will spread the news.
Once the news spreads back to the Dashi Kingdom, it will have a huge blow to the reputation of the royal family, especially now that he is trying to find ways to weaken other countries.
At this critical period, the royal family cannot withstand such a blow.
After more than ten days of weighing and considering, Mansour decided to reluctantly agree to the conditions of the Western Qin Dynasty.
He was not very good at martial arts, but he was much more mature politically than his brother Abu, the first caliph in black clothes.
Mansoor is cruel and murderous by nature, but he is good at forbearing.
He has used political skills to eliminate many political opponents, including his uncle.
He believes that in this period, internal troubles must be solved first before we can free up our hands to deal with foreign enemies.
On the other hand, it is very difficult for the Dashi Kingdom to rule the lower Indus region.
The Tianzhu people in this area have become increasingly dissatisfied with the rule of the Dashi Kingdom.
This is because the Dashi rulers forced the local Tianzhu people to change caused by issues of faith.
Not only did the big food country not get any returns in this area, but its investment was increasing.
Many nobles in Baghdad were already dissatisfied with this.
Mansour believed that this was the time to get rid of this burden, and he would show up openly Announcement of giving up the rule of this area is actually a secret handover with Western Qin.
When the army of the Shi Kingdom withdraws from the area, the army of Western Qin will immediately take over.
On the first day of July, Liu Dan received an official report sent by Liu Mingjian, the envoy in Baghdad.
The official document stated that the Caliph Mansur of the Great Food Kingdom had agreed to cede the lower reaches of the Indus River to the Western Qin, but this could not be done in the future.
While the handover of the garrison defense must be carried out in the open, the handover must be carried out in secret, and on the day of the handover, Caliph Mansour of the Great Food Kingdom will announce that he will give up his rule over this area and withdraw his troops.
In other words, the cession agreement is a secret agreement and cannot be published to the public.
At the same time, Aziz also received instructions from Baghdad.
Mansour asked Aziz to be fully responsible for negotiations with Western Qin on the Mahdi issue and for negotiating with Western Qin the transfer of garrison defense in the lower Indus area.
Set a specific date to complete negotiations as soon as possible and report the results to Baghdad.
Mansur believed that since it was decided to cede the lower Indus River region to Western Qin, it should cut the knot quickly, get rid of this burden and go into battle lightly to resolve internal disputes, leaving Western Qin to have the headache of how to rule the lower Indus region.
Zhao Ziliang took the memorandum handed over by Liu Dan and read it over, then asked: "Have you Honglu Temple and Aziz started discussing Mahdi's sentence and the handover of the lower reaches of the Indus River?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for the king's instructions," Liu Dan said.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and asked: "When do you think the handover in the lower reaches of the Indus River can be completed the fastest?"
Liu Dan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think it will be three months at the earliest.
Things in the Dashi Kingdom are simpler.
They just need to withdraw their troops and leave.
We need to prepare for the area in advance."
To have a full understanding, you must also decide what governance policy to adopt in the area; select officials before taking over the area; what attitude should be adopted towards religious issues in the area; and which army to station in the area, etc.”
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Well, let's do this.
Counting from the day when the big food country withdraws its troops from the lower reaches of the Indus River and we take over the defense, one month later will be the day to release Mahdi.
You just said that we need three months to prepare.
Let’s set the handover date on the tenth day of October.”
Liu Dan cupped his hands and said: "Yes, I will go and talk to Aziz."
After Liu Dan left, Zhao Ziliang waved to Xiao Qin and said, "Go and find Wang Can."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Not long after, Wang Can walked in, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Things have changed.

The Big Food Country has agreed to our conditions and decided to cede the lower reaches of the Indus River to us.
If we get the lower reaches of the Indus River, we will have an outlet to the sea, which will have a great impact on our economy and trade. has a great promotion effect , at the same time, we can also build ports and docks in the coastal areas, build warships, and train a real navy.
I am determined to win the lower reaches of the Indus River.
So, you must go to see the Zonaras and let them change their plans.
The Mahdi's actions must not be After the transaction between us and the Great Food Country is completed in our Western Qin territory, we will send people to escort Mahdi back to the country one month later.
When he reaches the border, the Great Food Country will send people to pick him up.
You can keep the handover location secret.
Reveal it to him, it's their business what they do In short, we must not do anything in our territory of Xiqin, and we will never allow business to be done with integrity.
When we complete the handover to Mahdi, it is equivalent to completing the transaction.
If something happens to Mahdi next, it has nothing to do with us.
It’s about something, do you understand what I mean?”
Wang Can said: "Yes, the general understands.
Now go and inform Zonaras":
