The winter in Persia, which is located on the plateau, is also very cold, and sometimes it snows heavily.
It started to snow after nightfall last night, and it rained heavily.
This phenomenon has not happened in Persia for several years.
After the weather turned cold, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army had to put on winter cotton clothes sooner or later to resist the cold invasion, but the Dashi Army did not have such good treatment.
Sabit walked beside Liu Dan and looked at the Western Qin troops standing guard along the way, all wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and standing still.
There were also groups of Western Qin troops wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and fully armed and running and exercising.
Their morale was high and enthusiastic, full of enthusiasm. exuberant He couldn't help but feel the vitality in his heart.
No wonder the Da Shi Army couldn't defeat the Western Qin Army.
The soldiers of the Western Qin Army were so warmly dressed and had more physical energy to fight, while the Da Shi Army could only wear thin linen clothes.
Shivering with cold.
Not long after, Sabit arrived at the door of the meeting hall of the city lord's palace under the leadership of Liu Dan.
Liu Dan stopped and said to Sabit: "Your Excellency, please wait for a moment, and I will inform you."
"Okay, excuse me, sir."
Sabit saluted Liu Dan.
Liu Dan walked into the lobby to make the announcement, and soon someone shouted something in a sharp voice in the lobby.
The attendant translator standing next to him said to Sabit: "Your Excellency, the King of Western Qin declares your presence."
Sabit's expression instantly became serious.
He arranged his clothes with his hands, trying to maintain the most decent image in front of the King of Western Qin.
You must know that he came with a major mission this time.
If he didn't pay attention to his image, To be disliked by the King of Western Qin is to lose more than the gain.
Sabit walked into the lobby with an uneasy mood.
He did not squint, but he kept observing the Western Qin civil and military ministers around him from the corner of his eyes.
When he reached the middle of the lobby, he stopped and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "Master Sabit, the envoy of the Kingdom of Shi, pays homage to His Majesty the King of Western Qin."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand expressionlessly: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" When Sabit stood up, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Your Excellency Sabit, who sent you here?
Why did you come to Yazd to see the king?"
After hearing what the translator said, Sabit became wary.
He did not dare to take it lightly even at the meeting of the kings and ministers of the Dashi Kingdom, let alone meeting the King of Western Qin here.
He had heard that people in the Tang Dynasty liked to mince words when speaking.
Often hiding language traps, he had to brace himself up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Dear Your Majesty, Thabit came to discuss peace talks with Your Majesty on the order of the Caliph of our country."
Zhao Ziliang's eyes were projected on Sabit as if they were real.
Sabit suddenly felt like needles all over his body, making him extremely uncomfortable.
When Sabit was shaken, Zhao Ziliang spoke: "There are two questions: First, as far as I know, your Caliph Mansour has been captured by our army.
He is now in Yazd.
You said you Coming on the orders of the Caliph, could it be that Mansur Can your Excellency be able to do the Separation Technique?
Secondly, you said that you were on a mission to have peace talks with us, Western Qin.
How did you know that we, Western Qin, were willing to have peace talks?
I, West Qin, never thought that your country had expressed its intention to have peace talks.
Your Excellency, I am Wang thinks you came to the wrong place this time."
The translator quickly translated Zhao Ziliang's words to Sabit.
After hearing this, Sabit said that the Tang Dynasty people are really good at speaking.
Just one sentence I said created two loopholes to make things difficult.
It seems that this mission is not going well.
Done Sabite calmed down and replied: "Your Majesty, His Excellency Mansur is the former caliph.
After he was captured by your army, our ministers, generals, nobles and tribal chiefs have jointly elected him Prince Mahdi succeeds as Caliph The peace talks were requested by our country.

The war has progressed to this stage and has had a serious impact on the lives of the people of Western Qin and Dashi.
The people of our country in Persia have suffered numerous casualties.
This is all caused by your country's aggression.
Yes, your majesty, please wake up in time and don’t make the same mistake again and again.”
Among the ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty, Chen Qing stood up and sneered: "Sir Sabit, according to the information we have received, your country now has more than just the Mahdi caliph.
Several of his brothers are in Baghdad, Syria, Jerusalem, Egypt, and Tripoli. received in other places The local officials and nobles supported the caliphate and established the Caliphate.
In less than half a month, four or five caliphs appeared in succession.
Who among these caliphs is the legitimate lord and what qualifications do they have?
On behalf of the Dashi Kingdom, I am sent to the Western Qin Dynasty as an envoy."
Thabit immediately said with certainty: "My master, the Mahdi Caliph, was jointly elected by most of our country's ministers, generals, nobles and tribal leaders, and he is the son of the previous caliph.
In terms of bloodline, they all have undisputed orthodoxy, while the other caliphs only have bloodline inheritance conditions.
However, the inheritance method of caliphate in our country is not purely based on blood.
In the era of the Prophet and the four caliphs, the democratically elected system was adopted, but later the blood inheritance system was adopted.
Under the condition that these caliphs all have the right to inherit by blood, only the Mahdi Caliphate is The caliph who was jointly elected and recognized by most of the ministers, generals, nobles and tribal leaders."
"We are not interested in the legality of Mahdi's succession to the caliphate for the time being."
A voice broke the temporary silence in the hall.
Du Fu stood up and pointed out righteously: "Just now, His Excellency Thabit mentioned aggression.
I, Xi Qin, will never admit this. , the war was started by your country.
If your country's border rangers had not crossed the border repeatedly and penetrated into our sphere of influence to provoke, this war would not have happened.
It is completely legitimate for our Western Qin State to send troops to your country.
Self-defense and counterattack are legal and reasonable.”
Zhao Ziliang and the civil and military ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty couldn't help but secretly applauded after hearing Du Fu's words.
Their rebuttal was really brilliant.
Unexpectedly, Sabit said: "Yes, it was our side that made the mistake first, but the instigator has been punished, hasn't it?
I think if the war continues, it will be detrimental to both of us.
Because of the war, our country has a large number of People were displaced and lost their lives, and your country also increased the burden on the people because of the war; because the war completely blocked the commercial exchanges between our two countries, which caused a huge loss of tax revenue for both our countries, so I think for the sake of the two countries For common interests, we should stop the war and sit down and negotiate to resolve disputes.”
These words made the ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty whisper to each other.
They have admitted their mistake.
What else can you say?
People with benevolent hearts think that killing people is just a nod.
Since they have admitted their mistake, then forgive them.
It seems that some people seem to After accepting this statement, my position has wavered.
However, some people thought deeply about it, especially the words in Thabit's words: "The troublemaker has been punished."
This sentence is a bit interesting, and it seems to have another hidden meaning.
Zhao Ziliang wiped his chin, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes from time to time.
Er Zhu Xianzhong jumped out angrily, pointed at Sabit and shouted: "Your Excellency, you didn't even say hello, you just started to fight when you asked, but now you don't want to fight, what do you think we are?
Let me tell you, you can't fight now."
It’s not you who have the final say.”
Sabit nodded and said: "Yes, the decision now depends on you, so I came here with sincerity to beg for peace.
Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and I think your Majesty should also understand that now is the time for ceasefire negotiations. .
Your Majesty’s army is unparalleled in combat capability, but it is already an expedition, and our country has a vast territory and vast strategic depth.
If your Majesty wants to destroy our country, you will have to fight for ten years.
It is impossible to succeed.
Even if our country is destroyed by your majesty's army, your majesty's country will be dragged down.
At that time, your majesty's potential biggest enemy, the Eastern Roman Empire, will watch your majesty's country regain its national strength.

They will definitely use the whole country to I want to attack your country with all my strength, how can your Majesty stop it?
So if our two countries fight to the end, it will only benefit others.
Please consider my proposal to negotiate a peace."
A minor official was prompted by Liu Dan to stand up and loudly said to Sabit: "Negotiations are okay, but your country must first admit defeat."
Thabit reacted violently: "Impossible, absolutely impossible" No one is a fool, and Sabit is obviously not a rookie in diplomacy.
How could he not understand the consequences of admitting defeat first?
The defeated country has no right to speak.
At that time, the big food country will have to be at the mercy of Western Qin.
Zhao Ziliang's general Sabit was very excited, so he smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be excited.
Let's do this.
That's it for today.
Your Excellency will go back to rest first.
Whether you agree to the negotiation will be notified to you after I discuss it with the ministers.
Please wait patiently for a few days." sky" Sabit calmed down his emotions and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Okay, I'm waiting for your majesty's good news."
After seeing him off, Zhao Ziliang discussed with the ministers whether to agree to the negotiation.
Regarding this issue, the ministers and generals were obviously divided into several factions.
Some people thought that in order not to cause a huge economic burden to the country, they should agree to the negotiation, end the war, and return the troops.
North Korea; someone Because people cannot be swayed by cannibalism, the current war is far from bringing down the domestic economy.
The war should continue, and it will not be too late to negotiate peace when the war has a real huge impact on the domestic economy; and Some people can fight or make peace.
On the issue of whether to negotiate peace, the ministers and generals held their own opinions and quarreled fiercely.
Some of the ministers and generals had good personal relationships with each other, and some became enemies because of their different political opinions, but none of these people let their personal grievances affect their stance on such major national affairs decisions.
This is something Zhao Ziliang is extremely gratified about.
Private grudges are private grudges.
Just because you have private grudges, you must not maintain political hostility.
In the official court of the Western Qin Dynasty, many officials and ministers became enemies because of a certain political matter, but on another occasion, However, they had the same stance on political affairs.
It can be seen that the moral conduct of the officials and ministers of Western Qin during this period was very noble.
"Regarding this matter, you all have several different views.
I have taken a look at it and found that none of you are convinced.
I will put it aside for the time being and wait until I carefully consider it before making a decision."
Zhao Ziliang said The words sent away the civil and military ministers
