In the Western Qin Army camp fifty miles east of Timsah Town, Zhao Ziliang saw Harun Rashid's reply to him.
He opened the letter and read it carefully and handed it to Dugujun: "Everyone takes turns to read it. " Harun Rashid's reply quickly passed through the hands of the civil servants and ministers in the big tent, with different expressions on their faces.
Li Muchen stood up first and raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Harun Rashid has 80,000 troops in his hands.
This force accounts for more than half of the Mahdi's army.
Another 20,000 are the Guards deployed in Kahail, and there are Forty thousand troops deployed in Tripoli and Mauritania Niya, if we can surrender Harun Rashid, we can easily defeat the remaining forces of the Food Country and capture North Africa.
If we attack by force, the price we have to pay will be much higher.
If there is a better way , I do not recommend a forceful attack."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "What do you think is to surrender Harun Rashid?"
"Yes, His Majesty's surrender of Harun Rashid will have many benefits.
This will play an immeasurable role in our future rule of North Africa.
We can let Harun Rashid serve as an official, which can at least ease the influence of the cannibals in the region on us.
"hostility" Dugujun disagreed with Li Muchen's statement.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Harun Rashid said in his reply that he needed time to think about it and asked Your Majesty to wait for the news.
I think Harun Rashid is not really here."
We are considering your Majesty's proposal, but are deliberately delaying it, because he knows very well that once he rejects your proposal, our army will attack with troops.
People are not optimistic.
He needs time to determine the true situation of Mahdi.
He also needs time to deal with his relationship with Hadi.
At least the current news shows that Mahdi is seriously ill and unable to govern, and he is about to die.
"Who will be the new caliph of the Great Eater Country?
I don't believe that he is not moved at all.
For Harun Rashid, what he lacks now is time.
We cannot give the Great Eater a chance to breathe."
After listening to Dugujun's words, Zhao Ziliang thought that his statement was quite reasonable.
After looking at the other ministers, Zhao Ziliang's eyes fell on Du Zongwen and asked: "Du Qing, what do you think of this matter?"
Du Zongwen pondered for a moment, stood up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty" Just as Du Zongwen spoke, Wan Qingming hurried in from the outside and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, the latest news came from Kahaile.
Our insiders have obtained the exact information.
Mahdi died of illness a few days ago, and Hadi concealed the news.
The secret is not mourning” Everyone was shocked.
Zhao Ziliang stood up involuntarily and said, "Are you sure?"
"This is news from insiders through special channels.
It should not be false.
You must know that deliberately transmitting false information is a felony in Dongchang."
When everyone was digesting the news, Du Zongwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, you can immediately order the insider to spread the news that Mahdi has died, so that the news can spread throughout North Africa as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Wei Chen suggested that our army immediately Withdrew to Jerusalem, leaving only the original garrison to ease our country's fear of cannibalism.
The military pressure on the border makes them free to kill each other.
Wei Chen believes that if we attack at this time, it will easily make them give up their prejudices and unite to deal with us.
It is better for us to give in temporarily and let them fight among themselves.
The only way is to let them fight among themselves.
If there is internal chaos, we can succeed faster and easier."
Zhao Ziliang's eyes lit up, he looked at the other ministers and asked, "What do you think?"
Everyone thought about it and thought this was a good idea, but Dugujun asked: "This is a good suggestion, but under what name should we withdraw our troops?
We will withdraw our troops without any reason.
The cannibals are not fools.
They will not be stupid enough to think that there is something wrong with this."

There’s no conspiracy, right?
We have to find a reason to retreat, otherwise we can’t make them less suspicious.”
Dugu Wensu, the former Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is simple.
We only need to use the excuse of riots breaking out in Jerusalem, El-Arish and other places, and withdraw our troops to quell the riots.
In this way, the suspicion of cannibals will be eliminated."
Go ahead, but this matter still needs the cooperation of all the governors in the Middle East to make this drama real.
After all, the cannibals are not fools.
They will definitely send people to investigate the authenticity of the news."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and immediately issued an order: "Order: First, the Hun Yao Department will make every effort to adapt to maritime navigation, ship operations, and landing operations training.
It is not allowed to go into battle without Gu's order.
Second, pass Gu's order and be transferred from the Persian Gulf.
The third and fourth fleets arrived at the port of Tours and are on standby."
Du Zongwen, who was responsible for drafting the edict, immediately agreed: "I will comply with the decree."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and glanced at the generals, "Wei Gao, I order you to lead the Second Army of the Prisoner Army to retreat first.
After three or four days, turn to Tours.
You must pay attention to hiding your whereabouts and station secretly near Tours.
Waiting for Gu’s orders” Wei Gao stood up and said in a deep voice: "I obey the order."
Zhao Ziliang ordered Li Muchen again: "Master Li, you should be the one to write another letter to Harun Rashid.
This letter should be written in a vague and unclear way, and should be written in a way that makes people think about it.
I believe Hadi."
It’s impossible that someone wasn’t sent to monitor Harun Rashid’s every move.
If Hadi learns about the content of this letter and casts great suspicion on Harun, you should think carefully about how to write it.”
Li Muchen raised his hand and agreed: "Wei Chen understands."
Spies are elves who wander on the edge of the black and white worlds.
They have a special mission and their role is immeasurable.
No one can ignore their destructive power.
Hadi placed an undercover agent next to Harun Rashid, and Harun Rashid also placed his own person in Hadi's circle of influence.
Although this person is not yet a core figure in Hadi's circle of influence, he must be secretive.
It is extremely convenient to inquire about some information.
If a spy wants to achieve the purpose of spying on intelligence, he often needs to use any means necessary.
The spy placed next to Hadi by Harun Rashid is also a ruthless person.
This person bribed the servant who served Hadi and used his family's wealth and life to threaten him.
Ask him to tell the news about Caliph Mahdi.
When he learned that Mahdi had actually died of illness and Hadi concealed the news and did not announce his funeral, he immediately passed the news to Harun Rashid in Timsah Town. .
When Harun Rashid looked at the intelligence content in his hand, his whole face twisted with anger.
He said viciously: "Good brother, in order to successfully ascend the throne of the caliphate, in order to eradicate me, he actually concealed The news of my father’s death will be kept secret.
I want to be at odds with him.”
Ishaq, the think tank, quickly comforted him: "Your Highness, calm down.
You must calm down.
What has happened has already happened.
Now is not the time to act impulsively.
We must find ways to deal with the current dangerous situation.
Our biggest enemy now is not Hadi, but Dong."
We must do everything possible to prevent the Western Qin army from launching an attack.
Now we have many internal contradictions.

Only by resolving our internal contradictions can we fully deal with the Western Qin army."
While Harun Rashid was still fuming, a guard came in from outside and saluted and said: "Your Highness, the people of Western Qin have sent someone over to deliver a message to Your Highness."
Harun and Ishaq looked at each other, and Harun immediately ordered: "Invite him in."
"yes" Soon, the same Western Qin soldier who delivered the letter last time walked in and clasped his fists at Harun: "Your Highness, Prince of Dashi Kingdom, His Majesty the Holy King asked me to deliver a message to His Highness.
If Your Highness has a reply to His Highness the Holy King, I can Wait here” "Where is the letter?"
The Western Qin soldier took out the letter and handed it over.
Ishaq took the letter and handed it to Harun.
Harun opened the letter and read it carefully.
After reading it, he frowned and thought about it for a while.
He thought about the Western Qin soldier who sent the letter.
He said: "You go back first.
I have to think carefully about it.
After making a decision, I will write a letter and send someone to deliver it to His Majesty the Holy King of your country."
"Goodbye, villain" After the Western Qin soldiers were sent out, Harun handed the letter to Ishaq.
Ishaq took the letter and read it.
He saw that the letter paper had been scrawled in a mess, and many words had been erased and could not be read clearly. , which made him confused.
Harun asked: "Master Ishaq, as far as I know, the Holy King of Western Qin is not a man without literary literacy.
How could he write a letter in such a way that not only the meaning is unclear, but also there are so many alterations?
This This level is worse than that of a little baby who just learned to write."
Ishaq can be regarded as a well-educated man.
He particularly admires Western culture.
Harun's love of Western literature was also influenced by him, but he couldn't figure out what it meant when he wrote such a letter to the King of Western Qin. , even if we take a step back, the Holy King of Western Qin is an illiterate rough man.
Doesn't he have a few imperial literati?
How could he write such a poor letter?
While Ishaq was still thinking about this matter, Harun changed the subject: "Sir Ishaq, let's put this matter aside for now.
Should we announce the news of our father's death?"
Ishaq came back to his senses and said quickly: "No, no, no, I don't know why Hadi blocked the news of Khalifa's accident, but now announcing the news of Khalifa's accident is not good for any of us, but it makes Xi The Qin people's announcement of the death of the Caliph will allow Hadi to ascend to the position of Caliph.
After all, he is the crown prince conferred by your father and he is the first heir.
This is extremely detrimental to your highness.
However, Hadi deliberately concealed the news.
We can pretend not to know.
As long as we stabilize the Western Qin people, make careful arrangements, seize power, and lead troops into the palace to control Hadi and Hadi before he can react.
All ministers, announce to everyone that Hadi killed the Caliph and concealed the news and did not announce the funeral.
Only in this way can you occupy the righteousness, abolish Hadi's status as crown prince, and let the subjects support you to sit on the position of Caliph."
After hearing this, Harun became energetic and said immediately: "Okay, let's do it like this":
