"You, you are the envoy of the Tang Dynasty."
Mohedu Tutun looked at the young Zhao Ziliang with a little disbelief, but he had already used the honorific title unknowingly.
Zhao Ziliang took out the envoy's talisman and documents from his arms and handed them over with both hands.
At Mohe Tutun's signal, a waiter came forward to take the things and turned to hand them to a minister.
The minister inspected it, nodded to Mohe Tutun and said: "Your Majesty, it's true."
After hearing this, Mohe Dututun was relieved, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he quickly made up his mind and asked, "I don't know what General Zhao is going to do as an envoy to our country."
Zhao Ziliang saw Mohe Tutun's demeanor and did not answer the question immediately.
Instead, he asked: "Before I answer this question, can your Majesty tell me what the current situation in your country is?"
Mohe Dututun forced a smile and said: "This country is very good.
The weather is smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
Zhao Ziliang stared at Mohedu Tutun with bright eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't lie to me.
As far as I know, your country's current situation is not good.
The big food countries in the west are eyeing it.
Although there is a desert blocking it in the west, but Kang and Cao in the south had already Having turned to the Dashi Kingdom, and being threatened and instigated by the Dashi Kingdom, the relationship between Kang and Cao is not so harmonious with your country.
Also, the Tuqi Shi people in the north are not honest.
Could it be that the king We have become as close to the Tuqisi people in the north as one family.”
After hearing this, Mohedu Tutun knew that Zhao Ziliang had done some homework a long time ago, and if he wanted to hide it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to talk to him next, so he sighed: "Okay, I will tell you about the Tuqi Shiren in the north.
After the death of Sulu, they became even more unscrupulous and plundered everywhere in the south.
Originally, with our country's national strength, we were not afraid of some scattered assault cavalry.
However, Kang and Cao in the south were ordered by the Dashi Kingdom to deliberately attack the southern border of our country.
The troubles have restrained most of our country's troops.
Therefore, our country's northern border has been repeatedly plundered by the Tuqishi, but there is nothing we can do about it.
In addition, there are some ministers in our country who advocate surrendering to the Great Food Kingdom in exchange for peace in the south, and try their best to deal with the northern border.
"I'm going to attack people on horseback, but I know that the people of the country are very ambitious.
If they are allowed in, it will not be easy for them to leave.
To use a phrase from the Tang Dynasty," "Introducing the wolf into the house," Zhao Ziliang added.
Mohedu Tutun slapped his thigh: "Yes, even if we bring the wolf into the house, our country can barely survive now, but if we bring in the people from the Dashi Kingdom, the Stone Kingdom will be over, and I will soon become a puppet."
What Zhao Ziliang said just now was not actually because he really understood the situation in Shi Kingdom, but based on his analysis, but he didn't expect that he was right.
The attitude of Mohedu Tutun also showed him how to persuade Shi Kingdom to send troops to jointly deal with the invasion.
Qishi's hope was that after all, Shi Kingdom and Bakhanna Kingdom were two small countries close to Tuqishi, and only these two countries were most likely to send troops.
Zhao Ziliang immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that my envoy is here, the time has come for your country to eliminate the threat of the Tuqi Shi from the north."
Mohedu Tutun immediately became interested, leaned forward from the bed, and immediately asked: "What do you mean by your envoy's words?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "I hope your Majesty will know that it is not that our country has been unable to deal with the Tuqishi due to lack of strength in recent years, but because the northern Turks have always been under the rule of the Ashina clan, who has great control over the Turks with ten surnames.
With strong appeal and ruling power, if the Ashina clan continues to rule the Turks with ten surnames, then our country’s west will never be peaceful.
Therefore, our country appointed a non-Ashina Sulu as the Khan of the Ten Surnames more than 20 years ago in order to eliminate the influence and deterrence of the Ashina family in the hearts of the Turks.
Now the Ashina family is in the Ten The people with the Turkic surname have become insignificant in their hearts.
Even most Turkic people do not know what the Ashina family is.
Sulu has also suffered the consequences.
The Tang Dynasty was not grateful to us, but it often raised troops to attack our land of Anxi, and went west and south to make enemies with the Dashi Kingdom and the Zhaowu Nine Surnames.
His internal prestige dropped to the extreme before he was killed by his subordinates.
Without the permission of the Tang Dynasty, he appointed a khan without authorization, which was against the Tang Dynasty's taboo.
Our country believed that the time had come to deal with Tuqishi, and Moreover, Mr.
Gai, the Deputy Protector of Anxi and the Jiedushi of the Four Towns of our country, believes that if we can contact your country and other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu to jointly attack Tuqishi, the threat from the north can be solved in the shortest time and the smooth flow of the Silk Road can be restored. , in this way, it will be beneficial to your country and other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
I don’t know what the king thinks."
Mohedu Tutun hesitated: "Let our country send troops and other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu to attack Tuqishi together with the Tang Dynasty."

At this time, a very burly man next to him said in a loud voice: "But how did this prince hear that the Tang Dynasty is now surrounded by enemies?
The Tubo Kingdom in the southwest is rising strongly and has become a serious problem for your country.
The post-Turkic people in the north are also very serious.
There is restlessness and rebellions often occur, and the Khitan, Shiwei, and Mohe in the northeast of your country often cause trouble.
Under such circumstances, how can your country have the energy to deal with the Turks in the north?"
Zhao Ziliang looked over following the voice and saw that the speaker was an extremely tall and burly man with a very childish face.
"Be presumptuous, don't be rude to your honorable envoy."
Mohe Dututun yelled at the speaker.
He obviously did not expect that someone would come out to disrupt the situation at this time.
When he saw it was his youngest son, he quickly scolded him.
"This is my king's youngest son, Ku Le.
He is seventeen years old this year.
He has been spoiled by this king since he was a child.
He doesn't know etiquette.
Please don't behave like a child."
Mohe Tutun quickly explained to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Qu Le, and when he heard what Mo Hedu Tutun said, he waved his hands and smiled and said: "There are indeed many outstanding people in the world, and there are also outstanding people in Shiguo.
I didn't expect that Prince Qu Le was tall and mighty, but he had a quick mind and wisdom like the sea. , I admire you” But Ku Le didn't like to hear people praise him.
When others praised him, he couldn't find the answer.
His face immediately changed his expression and he said happily: "You can talk."
Upon seeing this, Mohedu Tutun quickly ended the conversation and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance.
I have to think about it for a while.
Please allow me some time, how about it?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "As it should be, I'll take my leave now."
Mohedu Tutun quickly shouted to his other son: "Najuche Bishi, take the envoy out of the palace and arrange for the envoy to stay in the embassy."
A strong man in his twenties stroked his chest and said, "I obey, Father."
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the prince named Najuchebishi.
He was somewhat impressed by this name because it was a bit special.
He remembered that when he read the history books of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, it was recorded in the history books that in the twelfth year of Tianbao , the Tang Dynasty canonized Naju Chebishi, the prince of Shiguo, as King Huaihua.
We must know that every time the Tang Dynasty canonized a king or prince of a vassal country, it had an obvious political purpose, and the canonization of Naju Chebishi as King Huaihua was obviously no exception.
After settling down in the embassy, Zhao Ziliang couldn't rest.
He took Chu Ge and a few retinues out of the embassy and wandered around the city, learning about the local customs and inspecting the topography and architectural pattern of the city.
After observation, Zhao Ziliang discovered that Tuozhe City is ten miles across.
Although the city walls are not high, they are made of stone and are solid and strong.
Such a city was not small even in the Tang Dynasty.
The population was very dense, even compared to that of the Bak Khanate.
The capital city of Xiesai is much larger.
There is a lot of wheat and millet sold in the market in Tuozhe City.
The area is also rich in fine horses.
There are three horse trading markets in Tuozhe City.
The horses traded are all high-quality horses.
Even the horses are ridden by pedestrians on the street.
They are all high-quality horses.
None of the horses used in the carriages used by some nobles are mules.
They are all good horses.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but feel regretful: "What a waste of these good horses."
There were also performers setting up a grass stage troupe on the street.
A woman was dancing on the stage, causing many animals to howl and yell in the audience.
"People from the Shi Kingdom are good at dancing.
Men, women, old and young can dance.
The woman on the stage dances Tuozhe dance, which is unique to this city.
I heard that this dance is very popular in Chang'an.
There are women dancing in every brothel, restaurant and teahouse.
This kind of dance is used to win the favor of guests," Chu Ge introduced to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but look at Chu Ge in surprise when he heard this: "How did you know?"
Chu Ge said coquettishly: "My subordinate lived in Chang'an until he was thirteen years old, and his family was fairly well off.
However, something happened to his family later and he had to leave Chang'an for Anxi, so he knew this dance."
"Oh, that's it":
