After Zhao Ziliang negotiated with King Mohechu Tutun of the Shi Kingdom about sending troops, he left Tuozhe City and headed south with the members of the mission and more than 200 retinues without making any stops.
Five days later, Zhao Ziliang and his party crossed the Yaoxishui and entered the territory of Cao State.
Cao State is also one of the nine kingdoms with the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
Cao State is divided into Dong Cao, Zhong Cao and Xicao.
The nine kingdoms of the nine surnames of Zhaowu are Kangguo, Anguo, Heguo, Miguo, Caoguo, Shiguo, Shiguo, Wudiguo and Huoxunguo.
Among them, Kang State was the largest, and it was also the kingdom of the nine kingdoms with the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
The relationship between Cao State and Kang State is the closest.
Generally speaking, the king of Cao State is a direct descendant of the king of Kang State.
Therefore, Cao State has always looked to Kang State as the leader.
On many major issues, all countries regard Kang State as the leader.
However, countries have different opinions on the relationship with Dashi.
After the team crossed the Yaoxishui River south, the guide Balu said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, here we have truly entered the territory of the Cao State.
The Cao State has a close relationship with the Kang State.
The Kang State has signed a treaty with the Dashi State many years ago.
We signed a surrender agreement and turned to the Dashi Kingdom.
The Cao Kingdom is also on the side of the Dashi Kingdom, so the Cao Kingdom may be hostile to us.
General, it’s better to be careful.”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time after listening to Balu's introduction.
He called Chu Ge and Bo Lehan and said, "Give me the order.
There is no need to dress up as a caravan anymore.
Let the soldiers be armored and fully armed, and then put my general's flags and flags on them."
Type out the Messenger's Talisman" Chu Ge and others were very puzzled, and Balu even asked: "General, why is it that since the Great Eaters are hostile to the Tang Dynasty, why don't we pretend to be caravans?
Isn't the general afraid that they will send troops to kill us all?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "We went to Shi Country disguised as a caravan before because we didn't know Shi Country's attitude toward us or the situation in Shi Country.
Now we already know the situation of the nine countries of Zhaowu and know them.
If you are hostile to us, you can't pretend to be a caravan, but you must flaunt our banner of envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
Think about it, we made such a big fuss in Shiguo, Kang Guohe If the spies of Cao State and the Great Cannibals don't know that we are here, I'm afraid the news has already spread to Kang State and Cao State.
The Great Cannibals must have known about it a long time ago.
If we continue to pretend to be a caravan, they will be suspicious.
We are here with hostility, and our situation will be very dangerous, but if we use the banner of the Tang Dynasty mission in a big way, they will not dare to mess around.
After all, no matter when and where the two countries are at war, they will not fight. practice” After hearing this, several people suddenly realized that this was the case.
Half an hour later, Zhao Ziliang's followers all put on armors and helmets, all weapons, bows and arrows were displayed, as well as the envoy's talisman and Zhao Ziliang's flag.
Zhao Ziliang called Balu again and asked: "How far is the city in front from here and what is its name?"
Balu said: "General, in front of us is the city of Juzhanti of Cao State.
According to this, it is already less than thirty miles away."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Chu Ge: "Send someone to take my general's talisman to Juzhanti City and tell their boss that I have been ordered to go to the nine countries of Zhaowu to request the king of Cao."
"promise" Balu quickly shouted: "Wait a minute, general, if you want to see the King of Cao, it is better to inform the officials in Juzhant City directly and ask to see the King of Kang."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "It seems inappropriate to do this.
Although Cao Guo has always looked up to Kang Guo, we are now in Cao Guo's territory, but we ask Cao Guo officials to meet the King of Kang.
This does not mean attacking Cao Guo.
The king’s face?”
Balu immediately explained to Zhao Ziliang that the King of Cao State originally lived in Sedihen City in Xicao.
If they want to go to Xicao, they must first pass through Buenjikat, the capital of Dongcao.
From Buenjikat to From Kadizhen City, the capital of Zhongcao, to Samadjian City, the capital of Kang State, this is the shortest road and the only way to go south on the northern route of the Silk Road.
It’s not that there is no way to go from Dongcao to Xicao, it’s just that it’s a long way.

Instead of going to Xicao to meet the challenge in Sedihen City, it’s better to go directly to Kang State to meet with the King of Kang State and discuss with the person who can make the decision.
"That's it."
After hearing Balu's explanation, Zhao Ziliang said to Chu Ge, "Just do what Balu said."
"Nuo" Chu Ge agreed, and immediately sent a group of cavalry to Juzhanti City to hand over the envoy's talisman and customs clearance document.
As Zhao Ziliang expected, they were temporarily left in Juzhant City because the officials of Juzhant City needed time to report their arrival to King Cao and Kang and wait for instructions from Kang and Cao. .
In the state of Kang, Sa Mo built a city and a royal palace.
"Khan, take a bite.
What can you do if you don't eat?"
Khan Khan's wife put a tray on the table and advised Khan Chuhe.
Chu He waved his hands like he was shooing away flies: "If you don't want to eat, take it and take it.
I'm so angry because of Da Eater.
How can I still be in the mood to eat?
Da Eater is really bullying others, huh."
Ke Dun, who was dressed in gold and silver jewelry, sat next to Chu He and held his hand and persuaded him: "Khan, please bear with it.
Nowadays, the cannibalism is so powerful that we can't afford to offend him.
A few years ago, King Du Sapo of Anguo Ti was killed by the big cannibal.”
Hearing this, Chu He suddenly looked decadent and sighed: "It's all because of my incompetence.
My father Khan handed over the power to me.
Now the only Zhaowu kingdoms that I can directly control are Cao and Mi.
Even though I tried my best to escape the control of the cannibal, all the other countries hated me and blamed me for not surrendering to the cannibal."
Ke Dun advised: "Khan, you must not lose heart.
You are responsible for the safety of millions of people.
If you fail to recover, what hope do your people have?"
"Ben Khan also knows, but hey" While the two were talking, a waiter came over and saluted: "Great Khan, Lord Mu, please see me."
"Oh let him in" "Yes, Khan" Mr.
Mu, who was wearing an expensive fur coat, walked in quickly, saluted Chu He and Ke Dun and said, "Mu pays homage to the Great Khan, Ke Dun."
"Excuse me, Mu, what can I do for you?"
Chu He raised his hand and asked.
Master Mu stood up and said: "Great Khan, according to the report from the spies we arranged in Shiguo, there is a Tang Dynasty delegation of about two hundred people heading south.
Their route should be towards our country.
Their The name of the chief officer of the mission is Zhao Ziliang, he is a guerrilla general and a guerrilla general in Shule Town under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty."
"What kind of mission from the Tang Dynasty?"
Chu He was shocked when he heard this, "Who else knows this news?"
Master Mu said: "I entered the palace immediately after receiving the news.
However, I am afraid that this news cannot be hidden from the Great Eater.
The Great Khan should know that the Great Eater has sent spies in all the countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
That team of the Tang Dynasty The mission caused too much commotion in Tuozhe City of the Stone Kingdom.
Since even our country’s spies know about it, there is no reason why the Dashi Kingdom’s spies don’t know about it.”
"Don't the Great Eaters think that Ben Khan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to beg for help to deal with them?"
Chu He remembered that the former king of Anguo, Dusapoti, was eaten by the Great Eaters because he sent an envoy to Chang'an to ask the Tang Dynasty to send troops to fight against the Great Eaters.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"It's over, it's over, this Tang Dynasty envoy has come sooner or later, but if it comes at this time, the Great Eaters will definitely think that I am the one who brought this Tang Dynasty envoy here, and they won't vent their anger on Ben Khan."
Lord Mu felt sad when he saw Chuhe like this.
Chuhe was far worse than his predecessor, Great Khan Ulega.
During Ulega's lifetime, although Kang and the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu surrendered to Dashi due to defeat, After all, he was not controlled by the Big Food Country and was not used as a puppet. , and after Chuhe succeeded to the throne, he was pressed and retreated step by step by the Great Eater due to his lack of ability.

Now he has to completely depend on the face of the Great Eater, and the Great Eater built a city in Samat and stationed a thousand troops.
People, Kang Guo still has to bear the expenses of this army.
Master Mu sighed secretly and advised: "Don't worry, the Great Khan.
This is just an envoy.
The two hundred soldiers do not pose much of a threat to the Great Eaters.
The Great Eaters should not think that the Great Khan invited them. , if the Great Khan had written the letter, and the Tang Dynasty really wanted to send a large army, there would not be only two hundred people."
After listening to Master Mu's analysis, Chu He felt relieved and said, "If you have reason to come, please inform the ministers to come to the palace to discuss matters."
"Yes, Khan":
