Chapter 1183: The King and the King
Mahan Town, the king of Western Qin.
Zhao Ziliang pointed to the attack and defense diagram of Behedashir Castle with a long pole and issued an attack order: "Tomorrow, our army is approaching Behedashir Castle, if the Great Food Army retreats in the castle and does not come out." Schneider led the Second Army of the Servant Army to attack the southeast city wall; Obot led the First Army of the Servant Army to attack the northeastern section of the city wall! ”
The two stood up and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty! ”
Zhao Ziliang continued: "Wang Zhi led 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to sweep after Schneider, and Babul led 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to sweep after Obote. Also······"
Before Zhao Ziliang's order was finished, he was interrupted by the captain who rushed in from outside: "King Qiqi, it's a great thing, the Great Food Country Caliph Mansur was captured by General Wei Gao in Mahiz City, and is now on his way to Mahan Town!" ”
What the? Everyone suspected that they had misheard and captured the Great Food Eater Caliph al-Mansur? How is this possible?
Zhao Ziliang's face stiffened, staring at the captain who reported the news, and said coldly: "Captain, do you know that lying about the military situation is to kill your head?" Don't make jokes! ”
The captain was stared at by Zhao Ziliang and felt his scalp explode, but he couldn't speak, so he could only stubbornly say: "King, this matter is true, the little colonel personally participated in the attack on the Caliphate army of the Great Food Country, we captured Mansur in the city lord's mansion in Mahiz, he has items on him that can prove his identity, and several ministers, many maids, and eunuchs can prove his identity!" ”
Zhao Ziliang asked, "How did you make sure that Mansur was among them before you attacked that army at that time?" ”
"King, the caliph's car is a royal car, and the specifications are completely different from those of other ministers and generals, at that time, General Wei Gao was also very puzzled, so he sent a sentry to get close to the big food soldiers who caught a few slips to interrogate, who knew that those captured big food soldiers actually admitted that Mansur was in the army, he was preparing to return to Baghdad, and happened to be met by our army, General Wei Gao learned that Mansur was in the army and decided to launch a surprise attack on this big food army, they were defenseless, Late last night, we were routed in one fell swoop, and then rushed into the city of Mahiz and captured Mansour! ”
Zhao Ziliang feels that this is too incredible, is there really such a coincidence in the world? He said to the ministers and generals: "It seems that our combat deployment plan is going to be changed!" The implementation of the plan made before is suspended, where is Zhu Xianzhong? ”
Zhu Xianzhong stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”
"Quickly gather 3,000 cavalry to meet the team escorting Mansur, don't stay after receiving Mansur, return immediately! In addition······ Before this king saw him, be polite to him, how to say that he is also the king of a country, even if he is captured, it is bad luck, this is not a crime of war, the king should have his dignity no matter where he is, so that the people below cannot make mistakes! ”
"Yes!" Zhu Xianzhong clenched his fists again, turned around and left quickly.
That night, Mansour was escorted to the small town of Mahan. The inside and outside of the line are brightly lit, the armor is full of soldiers, the killing machines are heavy, and the garrison is extremely strict.
The hall of Xingyuan was full of military generals, Zhao Ziliang was wearing battle armor, wearing a war helmet, and holding a war knife sitting on the main seat, the oil lamps hanging on the surrounding walls were crackling, and there was not the slightest sound in the hall, all waiting for Mansur to be escorted over.
After a while, a bearded old man with only underwear and robes slowly walked in under the care of several soldiers, and everyone's eyes looked at this old man, this old man was too ordinary, no different from other old men of big food, if it wasn't for knowing in advance that this person was Mansur, I was afraid that everyone present would not think that this person was the caliph who dominated the Great Food Country.
Mansour stood in the middle of the hall like no one, first looking at the surrounding layout, then at the Wenchen generals on the left and right, and finally looked at Zhao Ziliang who was sitting opposite, he didn't say a word, just looked at and observed Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang also observed him with interest.
Suddenly, a minister next to him pointed at Mansur and shouted: "Are you the Caliph Mansur of the Great Food Country?" You used to be a caliph, but now you have become a prisoner, and as a prisoner, you must have the consciousness of a prisoner, why don't you kneel when you see my king? Get down on your knees and plead guilty! I don't know if my king will be merciful, or if he will spare your life! ”
Beside him, a military scribe who was proficient in the language of the Great Food translated the minister's words. It's all come to this point, Mansur knows that it's useless even if he is afraid, Zhao Ziliang will not let him go back unconditionally, before he was worried that those reckless generals would kill him unreasonably, but now he is not worried, Zhao Ziliang will not kill him easily, he is still useful to Zhao Ziliang, even if he is useless to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang, as a king, should not easily kill another king, even if Zhao Ziliang wants to kill him, no matter how afraid he is, it will be useless.
Mansur smiled indifferently, and did not turn his head to look at the minister of Western Qin who had scolded him just now, and did not take his eyes off Zhao Ziliang in the slightest, and said: "I am the king, and the king will not kneel to the king!" ”
"Presumptuous ······" Another minister of the army shouted.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand, the scolding stopped abruptly, he looked at Mansur and smiled, looked at Mansur and said with a smile: "As a king, how can you wear a piece of underwear to go in and out of the public?" Come, bring the robes, hats, and shoes and socks of the Caliph al-Mansur! ”
The soldiers who escorted him came forward with a tray full of clothes, shoes and socks, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to several eunuchs around him and motioned for Mansur to put on, and the eunuchs immediately walked up to put on Mansur's clothes, shoes and socks, and put on crowns and hats.
Mansur looked at Zhao Ziliang and asked, "Your Excellency, does it make sense to do this?" Don't think that by doing this, I will agree to any request you make, if you want me to do something that is not good for the Great Food Country, I advise you to die of this heart, because I will not do anything, I will not promise you anything! You can kill me, now you have this ability, all you need is one word! ”
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense, and everyone felt the murderous aura in the air, and a chill seemed to pour into the body from the top of their heads, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"Hahaha······" Zhao Ziliang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. After laughing for a long time, Zhao Ziliang got up from the throne and walked down the steps to Mansur, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty Mansur, the general who attacked your army last night and sent you here is called Wei Gao, he is a young man, you must have already met. The young man is more than brave and not calm, he may think that if he captures you, he will make the whole country surrender, and the war between our two sides will end, but he doesn't know how things can be so simple? This king apologizes to you for his recklessness! ”
Mansour said indifferently: "There is no need to apologize!" You don't need to apologize for the person you're going to kill, it's going to look fake! ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Anyway, Your Excellency is also the caliph of the Great Food Country, and he is the king, and the king does not kill the king!" You don't have to worry about your safety here. This king has always heard people talk about how your Excellency is wise and powerful, and has always asked you to meet and see your style but can not get it, and several times let the envoy propose the idea of meeting with you, but have not received a reply, which is the king's regret all along. Now, it is not easy for this king and your Excellency to meet this time, this king wants to have a good talk with you, I hope that your Excellency can live here for a few days with peace of mind, and if you want to go back at that time, this king will definitely send you off in person! ”
Mansour looked at Zhao Ziliang in a daze, he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Ziliang's gourd, Zhao Ziliang just wanted to have a good talk with him, let him stay here for a few days, and send him back in person when the time came? This ······ Is it possible? But he saw that Zhao Ziliang was so serious, it really didn't seem to be fake.
Mansour's thinking couldn't keep up with Zhao Ziliang's rhythm, and he asked suspiciously, "Would you be so kind?" ”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I don't think that if I detain you here or kill you, it will do me any good for the war between my country and the Great Food Country. Just as many people think that as long as you die, the Great Food Country may be in chaos for a while, and the war of Western Qin against the Great Food Country will achieve a decisive victory. But this king doesn't think so, the Great Food Country is by no means easy to defeat without the Caliphate! ”
Mansur took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since the King of Western Qin wants to talk to me after getting along, I'll stay here for a few days, and when Your Excellency thinks we're talking about it, send someone to send me over!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Okay!" Your Excellency must have been very tired after a long journey, frightened, and must have been very tired, and the king has ordered someone to prepare a room for you, so that the maids and eunuchs who come with you can continue to serve you! After speaking, he clapped his hands.
A eunuch came up to Mansur and said, "Your Excellency, please come with me!" ”
Mansur made a big cannibal ritual to Zhao Ziliang and left with the eunuch.
After Mansur left, the ministers began to discuss, and a military general stood up and said: "King, since we have captured Mansur, why should we be so polite to him, now I am the sword, he is the fish and meat, what the king asks him to do, he has to do something, if he does not obey, he will kill him with a knife!" ”
Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically: "What about after killing him?" Mansur is the caliph of the Great Food Country, the caliph is not only a secular emperor, but also a church emperor, if he dies himself, the Great Cannibal will cry for a few days at most, but if we kill him, it will inevitably arouse the anger of all the Great Cannibals against our Western Qin, and will make all the factions within them abandon all contradictions and unite against us, and will make our Western Qin and the Great Cannibal become feuds! ”
