Harun Rashid discussed with Ishaq again: "Master Ishaq, I want to meet with the Holy King of Western Qin.
What do you think?"
Ishaq was startled and then said: "Isn't it too risky to do this?
The character of this Holy King of Western Qin is unpredictable.
No one knows what he will think at the next moment.
It is too dangerous for His Highness to meet him in person."
This time Harun Rashid did not agree with Ishaq's opinion.
He shook his head and said: "We want to stabilize the Western Qin people, want to deceive them, and delay time.
It is unrealistic to just rely on letters.
I think After that, only by meeting and talking in person can the people of Western Qin be reassured.
I also want to meet this legendary man.
Mr.
Ishaq, the Holy King of Western Qin, please arrange this matter.
Let me meet with the Holy King of Western Qin as soon as possible.
The location is set on the shore of Timsah Lake.
This location is the junction of the two sides' forces, and both sides can accept it.
It is up to them to determine the time for the meeting.
As long as the people of Xi Qin are stabilized, I can deal with Hadi with all my strength."
"Okay, Your Highness."
Ishag agreed, and immediately suggested: "Your Highness, I heard that Nicephorus, the emperor's uncle of the Eastern Roman Empire, is still in Alexandria.
Your Highness is the top commander of the frontline against the Western Qin Army.
You are an officer and a prince.
With your status, you can be on an equal footing with Nicephorus.
I suggest that you send someone immediately.
Go to Alexandria to meet the emperor's uncle of the Eastern Roman Empire.
In your name, ask the Eastern Roman Empire to increase its troops at the border junction of Anatolia and Western Qin in the name of conducting military exercises to make a big splash.
This is the only way.
Only in this way can you distract the attention of the people of Western Qin and increase the bargaining chips for you and the Holy King of Western Qin."
Harun Rashid nodded when he heard this, but frowned and said: "Your method is good, but Nicephorus is an old fox.
Increasing troops at the border with Western Qin will obviously touch the sensitivity of the Western Qin people.
Nervous, it may trigger a war.
How could Nicephorus, an old fox, agree to their cooperation with us?
Their cooperation with us is carried out secretly.
He has never dared to openly be hostile to Xi Qin again.
I'm afraid he won't agree to this this time.
Require" Ishaq said fiercely: "Your Highness, I think this matter is beyond their control.
They have been secretly allying with us to deal with the Western Qin people for so many years.
If we leak this news to the Western Qin people, the Western Qin people will They will definitely be furious, and the Eastern Roman Empire will be in bad luck.
We threaten this, and the Eastern Roman Empire has to help even if they don't want to help.
We are already partners in the same boat with them.
If they don't want to face the wrath of the Western Qin people alone, You have to help us this time.”
Harun Rashid stood up and walked around, thinking about the possibility of success of Ishaq's suggestion.
It was undeniable that this was indeed a good idea.
If during the negotiations with Zhao Ziliang, there was suddenly news from the north that the Eastern Roman Empire was increasing its border I'm afraid Zhao Ziliang will also be shocked by the news about the soldiers.
At that time, Zhao Ziliang was under pressure, and there was a great possibility of relaxing the conditions.

However, he also discovered how risky this was.
He might break up with the Eastern Roman Empire, and everyone would go their separate ways.
At that time, everyone would be defeated by the Western Qin army one by one.
However, Harun Rashid thought about it and believed that the advantages of doing so outweighed the disadvantages.
The Eastern Roman Empire had been hiding behind it, and now it is time for the Eastern Roman Empire to stand in front and compete with Western Qin.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great food country?
Too bad Thinking of this, Harun Rashid said to Ishaq: "Sir, who do you think is more appropriate to send?"
Ishaq thought for a while and said: "Your Highness will sit here and hold secret negotiations with the Holy King of Western Qin.
He will definitely not be able to leave.
I am willing to serve for Your Highness."
Ishaq was overjoyed and immediately said: "Okay, my lord, if you go in person you will definitely be able to successfully convince the Eastern Romans.
I am waiting for your good news."
"Yes, I'm going to pack up a little before setting off."
The day after Ishaq left the town of Timsah for Alexandria at full speed, the letter that Harun Rashid had placed in his study disappeared, and the letter was being processed as quickly as possible.
Sent to Kahale.
At this time, Harun Rashid was actively preparing to meet with Zhao Ziliang.
He did not know that the letter Zhao Ziliang wrote to him had disappeared.
On the night of February 26th, the Western Qin Army camp was on the bank of Timsah Lake.
The lights in the Chinese army's tent were brightly lit.
Zhao Ziliang took a letter and said to the ministers and generals: "This is a letter sent by Harun Rashid, the second prince of the Dashi Kingdom and the commander-in-chief of the front line.
He made an appointment with me on the second day."
We met at Vulture Ridge ten miles away to discuss surrender and surrender.
What do you think of this matter?"
After asking, Zhao Ziliang waved to the eunuch Cao Yingxiang: "Come here, give the letter to all the ministers to take turns to read."
The letter quickly circulated in the hands of the ministers in the tent.
Dugu Wensu stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now that I have an army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves, the cannibals must have known that it is difficult to resist, and there is no way to protect this Harunla."
Sid would not take any risk and set up a heavy ambush at Vulture Ridge to trick His Majesty into entering.
The minister suggested that Your Majesty should ignore it. , with the abundant troops we have at hand, there is no need to play riddles or tricks with them, we can directly press forward with our troops, defeat them openly and openly, defeat them, beat them to their hearts content, knock down their morale, backbone, and break their backbones, this way It will be easier to rule after conquering Egypt.
If you use tactics, the cannibals will inevitably become dissatisfied."
Dugu Wensu's words made everyone in the big tent whisper.
Even Zhao Ziliang began to pay attention to Dugu Wensu's words.
I have to say that Dugu Wensu's words were very reasonable.
The purpose of Zhao Ziliang's army coming here is to eliminate the last strength of the Food Kingdom and occupy North Africa.
Defeating the Food Army in an upright manner and breaking their backbone will be the most beneficial to future rule, but doing so will inevitably entail a great deal of hardship.
Loss, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Great Food Country, these are not just paper, they have to be exchanged for human lives.
Dugujun stood up and expressed his objection: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with this.
It is good to be upright and it will be beneficial to future rule, but our military strength does not have an absolute advantage.
They have 80,000 people on the front line.
We are fully prepared.
There are 150,000 people, although there is a difference of twice the number of troops, but they are on the defensive and attacking hard, and they will inevitably suffer huge losses.
Even if we finally capture the entire North Africa, we are afraid that there will not be many people left."
Bai Xiaode stood up and said in a loud voice: "What are you afraid of?
The prisoner army and the assassination army are just prisoners.
Even if they are all dead, what does it matter?
There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in the Western Qin Dynasty.

If you just pull in a hundred thousand people, you can wipe out North Africa."
"Ahem!"
Li Muchen stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Old General Bai, it is true that we in Western Qin have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, but do you know that one move can affect the whole body, and large-scale deployment of standing armies involves all aspects, only A full-scale war can only be carried out when there is no other way.
If such a huge force is often used for war, it will be a heavy blow to the economy of our entire country in Western Qin, even the Tang Dynasty, and even the entire world."
"In addition, His Majesty has abdicated a few years ago, and the military power will be handed over to the king sooner or later.
Although Your Majesty can now issue orders to send troops to fight, fighting is not limited to the army.
It also requires sufficient logistical support.
OK, if you want to call in the standing army Is it necessary to inform the king during the war?
You have all been sons and fathers.
You should know that it is easy for a son to ask for money from me.
I feel sorry for my son.
I am afraid that my son will not have enough to eat and clothing, but if I ask for money from my son, , I’m afraid it’s not that easy to get there.”
Dugujun nodded with deep feeling and said: "Yes, no matter how rich others are, it belongs to others, and it is always not as rich as myself.
Even if it is a father-son relationship, the son can ask me for money as a matter of course, and I have to ask my son for money.
You have to put down your old face.
Besides, if your son doesn’t give it to you, your son can definitely do this kind of thing.
I have always been the only one who cares about my son.
There are several sons who care about me."
Wei Meng suddenly asked stupidly: "Master Dugu, don't you have a pension if your son doesn't give you food or money to spend?"
"Ahem, General Wei, I'm just making an analogy, don't take it so seriously."
Wei Meng's eyes widened: "Don't call me husband in front of me, you are not much older than me."
When Zhao Ziliang heard that these old guys were talking more and more out of tune, he suddenly felt a headache.
He knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't go too far.
In the future, irrelevant topics will be raised on such occasions.
How old are each of them?
Is it true that the older I get, the more confused I become about Harun Rashid’s appointment with Gu to meet him at Vulture Ridge?
Gu has already considered it carefully and decided to meet him.
Whether it was true or false, he could not escape.
"The palm of Izuku's hand" After finishing speaking, Zhao Ziliang looked at Zhang Bi, who was in charge of military intelligence: "General Zhang, what is the situation at Vulture Ridge?"
Zhang Ben stood up and clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, Vulture Ridge is actually a barren mountain.
It is called Vulture Ridge because there are usually many vultures inhabiting it.
The Great Food Army built a fortress on Vulture Ridge, with a garrison of five hundred people. , there are sufficient reserves of bows, crossbows, arrows, kerosene, rolling wood, and thunder stones.”
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow I will go with Gu to survey the topography near Vulture Ridge."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang, accompanied by Zhang Bi, took some cavalry to the vicinity of Vulture Ridge to observe the terrain.
Vulture Ridge was not very high, only about three hundred meters higher than the flat ground, but the road up the mountain was rugged. , and the mountain road is long and narrow, just a mountain road, surrounded by crisscrossing ravines and mountains, and the rock formations are severely weathered
