Zhao Ziliang did not urge Asillanda to do anything.
In the past two days, he took a few followers to wander around Kesai City or play around outside the city.
A few days later, Zhao Ziliang took some people to other cities and places in the Bakhna Kingdom.
They walked around, seemingly touring the mountains and rivers.
In fact, he was inspecting the mountains, rivers, roads and other terrain of the entire Bakhna Kingdom. , and accurately drawn on a sheepskin map.
These strange behaviors of Zhao Ziliang and his party puzzled the monarchs and ministers of the Bukhan Kingdom.
However, the second prince Wu Mo thought he was well-informed because he had twice paid tribute to Chang'an on behalf of the Bukhan Kingdom.
He stayed for a long time, and he thought that Zhao Ziliang and his colleagues were a profession that all the literati of the Tang Dynasty liked to do.
One thing is "traveling in mountains and rivers".
Touring in mountains and rivers is a rare thing in the country of Bukhan.
The monarchs, ministers, civil servants and people have never heard of it, but it is very common in the Tang Dynasty.
After two After Wang Ziwumo's explanation, the monarchs and ministers of Bukhan's country finally understood.
Some people even jokingly said: "I'm really busy with my time."
After using the trick of traveling around the mountains and rivers to deceive the monarchs, ministers and people of the country of Bukhan, Zhao Ziliang took only five days to travel through the entire country of Bukhan, and also covered all the mountains, rivers, terrains, roads and roads.
I know it by heart, and even know that there is a path in that mountain.
After returning to Kesai City, Zhao Ziliang spent only one day drawing the entire topographic map of the Bakhna Kingdom based on his memory, and the blank area on the huge sheepskin map was reduced.
On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, Axilandagan finally made a decision and decided to send troops to assist the Tang Dynasty in attacking Tuqishi.
However, how many troops to send, when to send troops, command issues and other conditions all needed to be determined in detail.
To discuss, he sent someone to invite Zhao Ziliang into the palace for discussion.
"See you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang bowed his hands and bowed.
Even though he was facing the monarch of a small country like Ashlandagan as an envoy of the Celestial Kingdom, Zhao Ziliang still did a good job in etiquette.
He was neither arrogant nor arrogant.
Humble.
Axilanda pointed to the seat next to him and said, "General Zhao, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang sat down in an empty seat in the middle on the left.
On the left, right and opposite sides sat the important civil and military ministers of the Bukhan Kingdom, all of whom were qualified to participate in discussions on how to send troops.
After Zhao Ziliang sat down, Axilandagan said: "General Zhao, after several days of thinking, I have decided to send troops with the Tang Dynasty to attack Tuqishi.
However, regarding the dispatch of troops, I and my ministers still have to discuss with General Zhao.
Let’s discuss it in detail” Zhao Ziliang was not happy or surprised by this for a long time.
As long as one of the monarchs and ministers in the country of Bukhan is not stupid, he will know how to choose.
He said: "Of course, I don't know what your Majesty thinks, so please feel free to tell me.
I Let’s discuss and discuss until both parties are satisfied.”
"Okay, General Zhao is quick to speak, so I won't be polite."
Axilanda said dryly, and immediately got to the point: "It is the first month now, and the weather is cold, which is not conducive to sending troops.
When the weather is warm and there is a period of drought, The army cannot go out without enough food and grass, so I think the best time to send out the army is in August, just after the summer harvest, when there is enough food and grass."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a few seconds and then agreed: "Your Majesty, you have thought carefully.
The time for our two armies to join forces is set on August 15th.
Our army of the Tang Dynasty will wait for Your Majesty at the foot of Suiye City on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival."
When the army arrives, we will besiege Suiye City together, what does the king think?"
People in Bukhan country are quite superstitious.
August 15th is indeed a good day.
Axilandagan immediately agreed: "August 15th is a good day.
Let's set it on this day.

Next, let's talk about our country's plan to send troops.
Our country's standing army currently only has 6,000 troops.
In order to protect domestic security, we cannot take all of them away during this expedition.
Therefore, my intention is to leave 3,000 troops and send out 3,000 troops.
What do you think, general?"
Zhao Ziliang frowned, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, three thousand men and horses are too few to be of much use, and the number of cavalry in your army is not more than half, at least five thousand."
The eldest prince Zhongjie stood up and objected: "General Zhao, five thousand people are too many.
Our country has only six thousand soldiers in total.
If five thousand are taken away, there will only be one thousand left.
Use one thousand troops to defend the entire territory of our country.
The force is too weak” Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "As far as I know, all the people in your country have always been soldiers.
Your Majesty can order to recruit another 3,000 people.
Wouldn't there be enough troops to defend the town?"
The second prince Wu Mo frowned and said: "If we recruit another person, it will cost twice as much money.
Our treasury cannot afford it."
Zhao Ziliang refused to give in at all: "It's just a temporary recruitment.
It doesn't cost much money.
The temporary recruitment can be disbanded after the army returns."
Seeing Zhao Ziliang's insistence on military strength, Ashlandagan had no choice but to compromise: "Okay then, five thousand is five thousand, but going on an expedition will cost countless amounts of food and fodder.
This expenditure should be borne by the Tang Dynasty.
I don't know when your country will There is still money to buy grain and grass, and our army must be commanded by the king himself and have the right to fight independently."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I think you are mistaken.
Your country is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
Your army is not a mercenary hired by our country.
If the King personally leads the army, of course he can lead it.
His own army, but the king must obey the command of our country’s commander-in-chief and cannot take any military actions without authorization.
In addition, regarding the issue of military expenses, this money should not come from our country.
Come on, your Majesty, you should know that fighting Tuqishi is not only beneficial to our country, but also to your country.
Therefore, this expense must be borne by your country.
However, if Tuqishi is defeated, your country can share it.
Part of the spoils of war.
As for how the spoils of war are distributed, it is determined by the proportion of the number of troops sent by each country and the level of credit.
You cannot just bring your troops there without fighting and just want to get the spoils of war."
Axilandagan was sincerely told by Zhao Ziliang and could not refute it.
He wanted to rely on the Tang Dynasty to pay for the military expedition, but there was no reason, so he could only agree to pay for the military expenses himself, and wait until he defeated Tuqishi and obtained the spoils.
Rows are filled.
Zhao Ziliang's performance just now made all the ministers and military generals of Ba Khan's country look at him differently and dare not regard him as a brave and foolhardy warrior.
This eloquence alone made so many of them helpless.
At this point in the discussion, almost everything has been settled.
Next, Ashlandagan ordered the wine and food to be served.
Before the food and wine were served, he asked again: "General Zhao, what you just said is that you will send troops to attack the sudden cavalry."
Our country, and other countries” Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course, Tuqishi also has tens of thousands of elite troops.
If we want to win a battle, we must maintain an absolute advantage in military strength.
Therefore, our country also wants to contact other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, hoping to summon I have received more soldiers and horses.
I wonder if your Majesty has any suggestions in this regard."

After all, this involves its own interests.
If armies from other countries join, the army of Bukhan will suffer less losses.
Axilandagan thought for a while and said: "General, if you want to go to other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Contact them to send troops together.
Only the Shi Kingdom and the Shi Kingdom are possible to send troops.
As for other countries, it is impossible.
They have fully turned to the Dashi Country.
The Dashi Country has also sent some troops to station there, so I want to persuade them and It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to attack Tuqi Shi together."
"So that's it."
Although Zhao Zi was a little disappointed in his conscience, it would be good if he could persuade Shi Guo and Shi Guo to send troops together.
Plus Ba Khana, there would be three countries.
In fact, Zhao Ziliang knew very well that the superiors asked him to be the envoy to persuade these countries to send troops to deal with Tu Qi Shi, not to use their troops, but to draw them in and restore the Tang Dynasty in China through this war against Tu Qi Shi.
