Charlie looked at Zhao Ziliang and asked: "Should I call you General Zhao, the Great Prince, or His Majesty the Holy King?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "There are appropriate titles for certain occasions."
Charlie nodded: "It seems that you came here today as His Majesty the Holy King of Western Qin.
I should call you His Majesty the Holy King.
His Majesty the Holy King worked hard to conquer my Frank, using hundreds of thousands of troops.
In your Eastern terms, , this seems unethical."
"Ha" Zhao Ziliang chuckled and said: "Charlie, you are also the emperor of a country.
You should know that being righteous or not is just an excuse for the superior.
In order to achieve political goals, any excuse can be used.
In In this world, from the emperor to the common people or slaves, men or women, everyone is Those who have goals in life, the goals of civilians or slaves are to have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and not go hungry; for men, it is a warm bed with a wife and children, and a woman hopes to marry a tall, rich and handsome man who she loves and loves her to achieve this goal.
This life is enough for businessmen, they want all the money in the world.
After making money, they sleep with their beautiful wives and gold bricks on their pillows every night.
The officials' goal in life is to become a very human minister and assist the king to do a few political achievements that benefit the people of the world, leaving a strong mark in the history books.
Pen, this is a blessing in life.
The life goal of nobles is to develop and grow their families.
The Baron hopes To be promoted to a viscount, a viscount hopes to be promoted to an earl.
He hopes that his fiefdom will become larger and larger, and he hopes that the title can be hereditary and irreplaceable.
At our level, the life goal of even a king with mediocre qualifications is to govern the country in a politically clear and clear manner.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, social order is stable, and the people have enough food and clothing.”
"Goals and hopes will change at every stage of a person's life.
Just like civilians or slaves, if they reach the point where they have no worries about food and clothing, and have a wife and children, their thoughts will change.
When things change, they hope to have more money; and when businessmen make enough money, they are no longer satisfied with the status quo.
They hope to use money to buy an official position or title.
Officials become county magistrates. want to know When they become prefects, they want to be envoys, governors, and so on, and become extremely human ministers.
If the political situation in the world is unstable and there is a tendency to change dynasties, their thoughts will become vivid, and they will not be able to bear the desire for that lofty throne.
See how many Eyes.
As for us emperors, who are a little bit ambitious, we don’t just want to govern the country so that the politics are clear and the people have food and clothing.
Surrender" "Charlie, it stands to reason that my kingdom is already big enough, but I want more land.
I want my Western Qin flag to be planted on all lands within the four seas.
I think if the people of Frankish land Being under my rule in Western Qin is definitely better than being under your rule Life will be better next time.
I am getting older.
Do you think I am too long-winded?
I have said so much.
This last sentence is what I want to say to you.
So, hand over your country and let me Come and rule your people, and many years from now they will be grateful for your generosity.”
Charlie's hands holding the reins were so tight that veins popped out.
He tried his best to hold back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Holy King, I didn't expect you to change so much.
When you were in Shanzhou, That was the first time I saw you.
At that time, your image was so tall and majestic and loyal.
Cheng, in order to defend Shanzhou City, you and your soldiers fought bloody battles with the Tubo people for half a month.
Even if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was suspicious of you again and again, your loyalty has never wavered.
But I didn't expect you to be here.
Become your own king and create your own kingdom in the Western Region.
This is your goal in life."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Charlie, it seems that you and I are not in the same realm.

In your eyes, loyalty is for one person.
You hope that your subjects will always be loyal to you alone.
When After you die, I hope they will be loyal to your son, right?
But my concept of loyalty is not like this.
I will always be loyal only to my nation and my country.
The country, then the emperor.
The Tang Empire will always be the suzerainty of the Western Qin Kingdom.
This will never change.
A narrow-minded person like you will never understand my feelings for the Tang Empire.
I admire your courage.
You have already reached this point, and you still dare to lead your army to turn around and actively fight me.
It seems that you are also an arrogant person."
Charlie sneered: "You used to be the idol in my heart, and your image in my heart was majestic.
I have been unconsciously elevating your image, but unknowingly devaluing myself, but today your image in my heart suddenly changes."
Collapse, I will never be afraid of you again.
You Dongfang people are always used to cheating, always like to make something true and false, so that people can’t tell the truth.
I’m afraid you used this trick again this time. us According to calculations, if you had used normal marching speed, you would not have been able to arrive so quickly, but you have arrived so quickly.
I conclude that you must have been traveling day and night these past few days, so your soldiers are exhausted.
At this time, you Let them line up to fight my army.
You are so brave.
I tell you, I will not be intimidated by you.
I will never be fooled by you again.
Let us make a settlement here today. " Zhao Ziliang's face twitched.
This tiny detail was noticed by Charlie.
He concluded that he had guessed it right.
He felt happy and immediately turned around and ran back.
Monteban, Tobin and Malajiji were behind.
He also followed.
Zhao Ziliang's face was expressionless and he waved his hand: "Go back and prepare for war."
The two sides soon returned to their own military formations.
Monteban asked Charles: "Your Majesty, do you want to attack?"
Charlie analyzed: "I am now certain that Zhao Ziliang is playing a trick.
They have been marching in a hurry for several days in a row.
It is very likely that they have been traveling day and night for the past two days.
It is impossible for his army not to be tired, but now he is setting up a battle array to fight against us. , it’s nothing more than trying to scare me.”
Majilala asked doubtfully: "Since his army is exhausted, why doesn't he retreat and wait until he has enough mental strength to fight us?"
Charlie sneered and said: "Zhao Ziliang has experienced hundreds of battles and is too experienced in battle.
He has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.
Can he withdraw if he wants?
If he can't lead his army to leave, our army will catch up.
By then he will The morale of our army is shattered.
If our army is pursued and killed, it will definitely be defeated.
Of course he wouldn't do this if we were defeated, so he wanted to take the risk to scare us, just to delay.
But Zhao Ziliang was cunning, and no one could tell that he didn't have any tricks.
Monteban ordered three thousand infantry to attack from the center, and try it first.

Let’s try the details of the Western Qin Army before telling you.”
After all, this war was related to the survival of a country.
Even if Charlie had determined that Zhao Ziliang was bluffing, he did not dare to order a full-scale attack.
He only sent a group of troops to test the combat effectiveness and morale of the Western Qin Army.
Three thousand Frankish heavy armored infantry pressed forward towards the Western Qin army with their spears raised diagonally and in neat steps.
Zhao Ziliang observed for a while and found that these three thousand Frankish heavy infantry were already close at hand.
He said: "It seems that Charlie's The army is still well-trained and well-equipped.
This heavy infantry is quite capable.
Order the infantry to retreat outside the trench."
"yes" The central army of the Western Qin army retreated in an orderly manner.
This situation was immediately discovered by Charlie.
He frowned and said: "What the hell is Zhao Ziliang doing?
Do you want to sandwich my three thousand heavy infantry and eat him?
You must know his two wings."
It's the cavalry.
At such a close distance, the cavalry can't run fast at all.
How come the infantry in the middle of the flank retreats so neatly, without any disorder in the formation, and it doesn't look like they were scared off.
What on earth does he want to do?"
The Western Qin infantry retreated outside the camouflaged trench and stopped.
However, at this time, three thousand Frankish heavy infantry had also pressed forward.
Gao Chongwen, who commanded the infantry, ordered: "War" "Kill" a huge roar came out.
The Western Qin infantry in the front row had collided with the Frank infantry.
The Frank infantry's spears stabbed in neatly, and shields blocked the spear assassination.
This was The sword and shield bearers among the Western Qin infantry held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
Many people were stabbed in the thigh and fell down as soon as possible, but on the whole they still blocked the impact of the Frank infantry.
The impact of the heavy armored infantry was indeed quite large.
The first row of sword and shield soldiers of the Western Qin Army was hit and forced them to step back several steps to stabilize the situation, while the second row of heavy armored spearmen rushed up to either assassinate or kill.
Hook cut, the third row of long ax soldiers also rushed up below and chopped the enemy's legs and feet with long axes.
Both sides soon suffered casualties.
The heavy steel armor of the Frankish infantry coupled with the spears was indeed powerful in terms of lethality and defense.
The shields of the Western Qin were not made entirely of iron, but were wrapped with a layer of iron around the wooden shields, which gave them some strength.
Powerful Frankish soldiers could penetrate this shield with one blow, making the shield-bearer The sword and shield soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty were stabbed to death, but the sword and shield soldiers in the back row immediately made up for it and rushed over.
Many sword and shield soldiers jumped directly on the Frank infantry and used their shields to hold up the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent's spears to assassinate. , which created an opportunity for the hook-scythe spearmen and axe-men in the rear to attack.
At this time, the shortcomings of lack of coordination appeared when separate units attacked.
The defensive and lethality of the Frankish heavy armored infantry was indeed very strong, but they did not have sword and shield men around them to cooperate with the cover.
The Western Qin army went into battle lightly.
The sword and shield soldiers can easily get close and block the front, while the hook, sickle, spear and axe soldiers at the rear can kill the enemy without any scruples.
However, the shortcomings of the light armor of the Western Qin infantry were also highlighted at this time, and they were unable to defend against the enemy's spear thrusts.
When the two sides fought face to face, each had its shortcomings and advantages, and for a time they were evenly matched
