The Mahdi sent people to deliberately let Leo IV know, which allowed the Eastern Roman Empire to take the lead in occupying Syria and Canaan.
The Qin army also got wind of it, but a little later, when the news reached Li Siye's ears, the Eastern Roman Empire took the lead in occupying Syria and Canaan.
The armies of the Roman Empire had already occupied Syria and Canaan.
Since Zhao Ziliang had previously sent a secret order not to conflict with the Eastern Roman Empire for the time being, Li Siye hesitated after receiving this news.
He was not willing to let the Eastern Roman Empire occupy Syria and Canaan, but he was also worried about the impact of a conflict with the Eastern Roman Empire.
He understood Zhao Ziliang's strategy against the Eastern Roman Empire, so he did not give instructions to Zhao Lei who was stationed in the Mesopotamia.
Zhao Lei waited and waited, but could not wait for Li Siye's order, which made him anxious.
In February 776 AD, without the order of Marshal Li Siye of the Western Expedition, Zhao Lei used the excuse that a border patrol had disappeared within the control of the Eastern Roman Empire, and sent 3,000 troops into the control of the Eastern Roman Empire to search for the missing patrol. , which aroused a fierce reaction from the defenders of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The two sides had violent conflicts in the border area, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries.
When Zhao Lei heard the news, he was furious and personally led an army of plateau officers to suppress the situation.
Leo IV felt that Zhao Lei's arrival was unkind and a crisis was coming.
He did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the Eastern Roman Empire army to prepare for battle.
Leo IV was only twenty-five years old, while Zhao Lei was already thirty-five years old.
Leo was the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, but Zhao Lei was the prince of the Western Qin Dynasty.
No one wanted to lose their prestige, and war was imminent.
Xinjing.
Zhao Ziliang closed the memorial, stood up and walked down the hall, walking back and forth in the hall, saying as he walked: "This Mahdi is really smart.
He threw out the two fat pieces of Syria and Canaan, and secretly sent someone to Leo The fourth generation let the East Roman Empire swallow these two pieces of fat first, and wanted me to be in the Western Qin Dynasty.
Fighting with the Eastern Roman Empire to the death is not a bad move, but we can't be led by the cannibal.
Leo, a young man who wants to make great achievements, has been fooled by the Mahdi, and we can't be fooled again.
Besides, now It is not the time to start a war with the Eastern Roman Empire.
War is of great importance, so we have to be cautious.
Even if war is to begin, we must be fully prepared.
We have occupied all of Persia, Mesopotamia, Armenia and the Caucasus.
We have also captured half of the Dashi Peninsula.
The top priority is not to compete with the Eastern Romans; It’s about digesting these eaten-up territories.
Syria and Canaan are both on the east coast of the Mediterranean.
They are low-lying, indefensible, and easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Even if the Eastern Roman Empire takes over, how can we wait until one day when we really want to?
We are at war with the Eastern Roman Empire, and it will not be easy to win there.”
At this point, Zhao Ziliang turned to Chu Ge and said: "In the name of my king and the Military Academy, I am giving an edict to Li Siye and ordering Zhao Lei to stop his extreme actions.
It can cause friction, but he must exercise restraint and not let the situation escalate to the point of war."
Chu Ge clasped his fists and agreed: "I obey your orders."
Zhao Ziliang returned to the throne and looked at the ministers below and asked: "Do you have anything else to report?"
Liu Dan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Chang'an Regent's Palace sent a secret report.
Empress Dugu asked the court to make Han Wang Li Hui the crown prince on the grounds that the emperor was faint and had mental problems.
Empress Dugu said that the king had It is said that establishing King Han as the crown prince is conducive to the stability of the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty.
I hope that the king will not forget this matter because of his age.
I also hope that the king will take the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty as his thoughts and appoint King Han as the prince this morning to calm the hearts of his subjects. " "Oh" Zhao Ziliang was stunned, "I did promise to make King Han the crown prince back then, but the emperor has always been in good health.
I was careful that establishing the crown prince would affect his mood, so I kept putting it off.
Is there really something wrong with the emperor here?
"It's over."
After saying that, he pointed to his head.
Liu Shan said: "Yes, the noble Lord Regent has sent people to visit him many times.
The emperor's brain has become seriously ill.

He is confused, has slurred speech, and is incoherent.
He often takes off his clothes in front of others and lies on the ground.
Pick up something to eat” After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
A generation of emperors went crazy.
It had to be said that this matter had something to do with him.
But Zhao Ziliang was puzzled: "How come I haven't heard Empress Dugu mention her before, but now she suddenly mentioned it?"
Liu Dan replied: "The secret message sent by the Regent's Palace said that the palace people in Chang'an Palace had revealed that Queen Dugu's body was inconsistent with the phoenix body, and she was afraid that she would die soon, so she rushed to urge the people in the Regent's Palace to propose the establishment of Han Dynasty.
The king is the prince" Zhao Ziliang suddenly realized that after thinking for a moment, he said: "I once promised Queen Dugu to make King Han the crown prince.
Now that Queen Dugu is about to die soon, I will fulfill my promise, pass on my edict, and order the regent."
Prince's Mansion Gao Shang and others discussed with the prime ministers of the Chang'an court to select a date to appoint King Li Hui of Han as the crown prince and hold a grand ceremony.
All matters must comply with regulations and must not be left behind for the world to criticize.
This matter should be done while Queen Dugu is still alive. held" "Yes, Your Majesty" Liu Dan agreed and then said: "There is one more thing that needs to be reported to the king.
In the past two years, the fishermen on the coast of the East China Sea of the Tang Dynasty have often been driven and hunted by the navy ships of the Silla Kingdom when they went fishing.
Some even suffered When officers and soldiers of the Silla Navy used bows, arrows and rockets to kill people, their boats were destroyed and countless people died.
If the fishermen could not go to sea to fish, why would they do it?
Therefore, after several incidents like this happened, the fishermen reported it to the officials in Qingzhou and Yangzhou, but the local officials could not take care of the matter and could only report it to the Chang'an court.
The court followed the protocol and notified Cui Zhengying, the Silla envoy to Chang'an. , Cui Zhengying also sent people back to Silla to report the matter, and asked His Highness the King of Silla to punish the naval officers and soldiers who violated our fishermen.
However, in the past two years, such incidents have occurred one after another, and the Silla Kingdom has not given an explanation to the Tang Dynasty court, which aroused the anger of everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
Two months ago, the fishermen of Qingzhou and Yangzhou wrote Wanmin.
Write a blood petition and petition in front of the Yangzhou and Qingzhou officials, asking the court to make the decision for them.
The local officials will meet The situation was so serious that I didn't dare to take advantage of it, so I immediately reported it to the court.
After the news spread, the government and the public were in an uproar.
Gentlemen, common people, students and clan leaders from all over the country wrote to the court, requesting that troops be sent to attack the Silla Kingdom in order to strengthen the country and threaten the noble regent.
The others cannot make the final decision on the battle, so they can only report to the king and ask for his decision."
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he slapped the imperial case and became furious: "Silla is so rebellious that it ignored my diplomatic note from the Tang Dynasty.
What is the name of the King of Silla?
How dare he be so bold as to think that he is separated by the East China Sea?
With a Datong River, can't Datang do anything to him?"
An official who knew the situation of the Silla Kingdom very well stood up and introduced to Zhao Ziliang: "Returning to the king, the Silla Kingdom has been the regent over the years.
The queen mother is also named Jin, and she is the daughter of Shu Fuhan Jin Yi Zhong.
The former king of the country, King Jingde, was extremely beautiful and talented.
When he was alive, he only favored the Jin family.
Jin family was named the Full Moon Lady and gave birth to a son, Jin Qianyun.
Jin Qianyun was soon established as the prince.
After the death of King Jingde, Jin Qianyun became the king and named his mother Jin Qianyun.
The Queen Mother, because Jin Qianyun was only eight years old when he came to the throne and could not govern, so the Queen Mother Jin's regent saw that Jin Qianyun is older and wiser, and has reached the age of pro-government, but the Queen Mother Jin refuses to hand over the military and political power.
The mother and son turned against each other for the pro-government, and they fought openly and secretly.
The government was not upright, and the government and the public were in chaos.
We don't know who to listen to.
The minister believes that the arrest and shooting of our fishermen in the East China Sea by Silla Navy ships does not rule out the suspicion that some people in Silla Kingdom want to use the help of the Tang Dynasty to attack political opponents, but it is also possible that someone in Silla Kingdom deliberately wants to provoke our country.
Tang Tianwei, test the bottom line of my Datang's patience, and want to use this to establish authority."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Well, no matter what the Silla Kingdom means, they can't kill our fishermen in the East China Sea of the Tang Dynasty with naval ships and prevent our fishermen from fishing.
Ignoring my diplomatic notes from the Tang Dynasty is contempt."
In the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong issued a decree to grant the land south of the Datong River to Silla in order to check and balance the Bohai Kingdom.
The Silla Kingdom is not only ungrateful to repay, but now dares to ignore the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Army has not fought for many years.
I have not returned to Chang'an to inspect military and political affairs in the past few years.
This time I will test whether the Tang Army's training in the past few years is If you are slack, I have made up my mind to send troops to attack the Silla Kingdom.
Who do you think should be the commander?"
Immediately someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the veteran General Zang Xiyan is mature and prudent, has rich experience in commanding troops, and his prestige can convince the people, so he can be a commander."
Someone else stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is not possible.
General Zang Xiyan is already over seventy this year.
He is too old to be able to mount a war horse, and General Zang has already retired.
I think that more young people should be given in this battle."
Given the opportunity, I think the Shenwu General Han Youzhang can take on this important task."
"No, Han Youjian had no military exploits at all before.
He only relied on following Guo Ziyi to gain seniority.
If Guo Ziyi hadn't promoted him, he wouldn't have been able to get on the stage with his little ability."
Zhao Ziliang often consulted with the ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty on matters related to the Chang'an court.
Therefore, the ministers of the Western Qin Dynasty were very familiar with the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
They knew every official and military general of the Tang Dynasty very well.
Even if they don't know clearly, it would be bad if Zhao Ziliang asked and they didn't know everything.
The ministers recommended military generals of the Tang Dynasty one after another, but to be honest, since the Anshi Rebellion, there were really few famous generals that the Tang Dynasty could use.
Some ministers even recommended cats and dogs.
Zhao Ziliang stopped the ministers from making random recommendations and said in a deep voice: "According to the king's decree, the Chang'an Forbidden Army is ordered to send 50,000 troops, with Li Baozhen as the chief general, Hun Jian and Gao Chongwen as deputy officers, to attack the Silla Kingdom by land.
This is for the Northern Route Army to Yangzhou Garrison General Wei Boyu was the main general, with Wang Ziyan and Fan Xichao as deputy.
They attacked the Silla Kingdom by sea.
It was for the South Route Army that he ordered King Da Qinmao of the Bohai Sea to send 10,000 troops to assist the North Route Army in attacking.
He ordered Japan to send 10,000 troops to assist the South Route Army by sea. attack":
