"Send the order and return to Hengluosi immediately tomorrow.
The officials were originally scheduled to come over in the afternoon to continue the discussion, but they have been brought forward to Sisi."
"Yes, Your Majesty" At 6 o'clock in the morning, all the officials and garrison generals in the Tochar region arrived.
Zhao Ziliang reported the entire incident to all the officials and generals.
"In the first half of the year, many of our Western Qin caravans were plundered in the territory of the Khazar Khanate on the northern route of the Silk Road.
We lost both people and money.
The security of the northern route of the Silk Road was greatly threatened.
Therefore, I sent Zhao Ting, the king’s son, took an envoy to the Khazar Khanate, intending to let the Khazar Khanate contribute to maintaining the security of the Silk Road.
This itself was also beneficial to them, because the Khazar Khanate was north of the Silk Road.
An extremely important online The Khazar Khanate also has great interests in the transfer station and which route the caravan takes.
However, the Khazar Khanate not only refuses to admit that they are responsible for robbing the caravan, but also detains our mission and makes the mission flee.
After that, they sent a large army to pursue us, resulting in the death of more than 200 people in our mission, and only the messenger Zhao Ting was captured.
Since ancient times, no matter in the East or the West, no matter how deep the hatred between the two sides, there has been no rule to kill messengers or missions.
Sa people Doing this is completely barbaric.
They don't follow the rules or etiquette at all.
There is no need for us to follow the rules or etiquette when dealing with such barbaric people.
They not only robbed our caravan, but also killed us.
The envoys and the detention of our envoys are provocations and contempt for our Tang Empire and our Western Qin Dynasty, and are a blatant declaration of war against us.
If we do not respond, we will be threatened by everyone around us.
With the contempt of the country and city-states, the people and caravans of Western Qin will also be very disappointed with us.
They will think that we cannot protect their safety.
Tomorrow, I will return to Western Qin to understand the further progress of the matter, and we will also have to do this.
In response to the incident, the war against the Khazars is imminent.
I hope that the territory of Western Qin will remain stable, especially the Tocharian region, and that instability will not appear again."
All the officials said in unison: "Promise" Zhao Ziliang looked at Zhao Hu again and said: "This time we are sending troops to the Khazar Khanate, Zhao Hu, your First Army Corps is also on the expedition.
The defense of your First Army Corps in the Tocharian region is left to the volunteers, leaving behind A general will lead the conscripts of each department to strengthen training today to prepare for the expedition.
The expedition will be kept secret for the time being and shall not be leaked.
We will wait and see the reaction of the people first."
Zhao Hu stood up excitedly, clasping his fists and saying, "I will obey my orders."
On November 18th, Zhao Ziliang and his party rushed back to Hengluosi City.
At this time, the senior officials of Western Qin in Hengluosi City had already received the news that Zhao Ting had been detained in Itir and that all members of the mission had been killed.
The news quickly spread throughout Western Qin, which caused a stir in Western Qin.
People everywhere were extremely indignant and there was a lot of public discussion.
Restaurants, taverns, wine shops, inns, tea houses and markets everywhere are discussing the news that the mission was destroyed and the envoy Zhao Ting was detained.
Some people said that Zhao Ting’s life was really miserable and that it was too tragic that other members of the mission were killed.
Others said Some people say that the Khazars are too barbaric and the caravan should not take that road at all.
Others say that unreasonable barbarians like the Khazars should send a large army to show them some color.
Zhao Ziliang and his party returned to Hengluosi City very late that day.
They did not convene military and political officials to discuss matters, but returned home first.
When the family members heard that Zhao Ziliang was back, they all came out to greet them.
Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and nodded, hugged his grandson, son and daughter, teased him a few times, looked around again, and said to Chen Qingying, Mrs.
Meng, Princess Xinping asked: "Where is the second child?"
The three women looked at each other, and Chen Qingying said: "Sanniang originally wanted to go to the Khazar Khanate to rescue her because of Ting'er's incident, but she was dissuaded by my concubine and others.
She has been worried about Ting'er's incident for the past few days.
He collapsed and is lying on the bed recuperating."

Zhao Ziliang returned his grandson and daughter to Zhao Lei and Princess Xinping and said, "I'll go see her."
Everyone followed Zhao Ziliang to Nie Sanniang's room.
When Zhao Ziliang saw Nie Sanniang lying on the couch with a haggard face, Zhao Ziliang walked over and asked, "Sanniang, are you okay?"
When Nie Sanniang saw Zhao Ziliang, she burst into tears and called out: "Husband!"
Zhao Ziliang hugged her quickly and comforted her: "Okay, okay, I'm back and everything is fine.
I will handle Ting'er's matter.
He is just being detained by the Khazar people now.
His life is not in danger.
Khazar personnel dare not touch Ting'er."
Yes, the hundreds of thousands of troops in my hands are not vegetarians, they cannot be careless."
Nie Sanniang asked with tears in her eyes: "Are they really not going to harm Ting'er?
Ting'er will definitely come back, right?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, they don't dare to touch Ting'er.
I have sent people to rescue him, so don't worry."
Chen Qingying also said: "Yes, Sanniang, don't worry, Ting'er will be fine."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hands to everyone, and everyone retreated when they saw this.
Only Zhao Ziliang and Nie Sanniang were left in the room.
Now Nie Sanniang cried even harder.
Zhao Ziliang kept comforting her.
After she cried for a while, he wiped the tears on her face with his hands and said, "Okay, stop crying and look at you.
You have become a little cat from crying.
If you continue crying, your face will be swollen."
It doesn’t look good” Nie Sanniang wrinkled her nose and said: "Humph, Ting'er is not your son.
I see you are not anxious at all.
How did you become a father?
I finally wanted my son back, but he was sent by you before he had been at home for half a year.
Go to the Khazar Khanate, it’s fine now, Ting’er is in danger, what did you tell me back then?”
Zhao Ziliang kept patting Nie Sanniang's shoulders and comforted him: "Okay, okay, what's the use of just being anxious?
If I can get Ting'er back in a hurry, I'd rather die anxiously.
The rescuers have been sent out.
These people are on the battlefield."
In battle, you may not necessarily be able to defeat a thousand or a hundred, but I personally trained them, and their rescue skills are unparalleled by anyone else.
They will definitely be able to rescue Ting'er, so don't worry."
"Really"
"Really?"
Zhao Ziliang wiped away the tears on Nie Sanniang's face again, scratched her nose, and said, "Look at how old you are, and you still cry so hard.
How much do you let the juniors see?"
It’s embarrassing to think that back then you were a ruthless and world-famous female assassin, why are you crying now after experiencing such a small thing?”
Nie Sanniang said angrily: "Huh, what's the matter with the female assassin?
I'm a mother and a grandmother now.
Besides, if they hadn't stopped me, I would have gone to the Khazar Khanate to save Ting'er with my sword.
My skills have not deteriorated over the years, and killing a few people is not a piece of cake."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Stop showing off.
Even if your skills are still there, your specialty is assassination rather than rescuing people.
Saving people should be left to specialized people.

All you have to do now is to concentrate on treating patients."
Take good care of yourself.
If Ting'er comes back and sees that your mother is so worried about him that she can't even get up from bed, he will be even more sad."
When Nie Sanniang saw what Zhao Ziliang said, she said, "What you said seems to make sense, okay, but you have to stay here with me tonight."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and agreed: "Okay, not only will I stay here with you tonight, but I will stay here with you until Ting'er comes back."
Nie Sanniang said happily: "Is it true?
Husband, you are so kind to Sanniang."
After saying that, Nie Sanniang frowned again and said: "No, no, if I always occupy you, the boss, the third and the fourth will definitely gossip."
Zhao Ziliang comforted him: "Don't worry, they won't mind.
If it happens to them, they won't want their children to suffer this disaster.
Come on, let's have a rest."
"Well, I will change your clothes for you."
The next day, Zhao Ziliang summoned military and political officials to discuss matters at the Jiedushi Mansion.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the civil servants and generals and said: "You must all know that the mission sent to the Khazar Khanate was destroyed and the envoy Zhao Ting was detained.
Regarding this matter, how do you think Western Qin should deal with Liu Tiao?
You are the Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, please tell me first."
Liu Tiao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, given the current situation in our Western Qin Dynasty, farming, workshops and animal husbandry are also developing at a very fast speed.
I think it is best not to start a war with the outside world at this stage, so as not to delay our Western Qin."
Regarding the development speed of Qin's internal affairs, the lower official thought that on the one hand, he should send people to rescue the third prince immediately, and on the other hand, he should appease the people, officials and military officers.
He should endure it for a few years and wait for the development of various affairs in Western Qin in a few years.
After the situation is stable, we will send out troops to bring shame on today."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Dugu Wensu, the deputy minister of the Government Affairs Council, and asked: "Dugu Wensu, what do you think?"
Dugu Wensu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the northern route of the Silk Road is cut off, which means that we in Western Qin will lose 30% of our income, because 30% of the caravans take the northern Silk Road.
From this point of view, Xiaguan I don’t agree with Prime Minister Liu’s view.
There is no doubt that the war has inhibited the internal development of Western Qin at this stage.
However, this loss is not necessarily as great as the loss caused by the interruption of the Northern Silk Road.
If we calculate it this way, It is better to fight early than to fight late.
In addition, from the national level as a whole, the Khazars detained my envoys and destroyed my mission.
This is a contempt and provocation to the dignity of our Tang Empire and the Western Qin Dynasty.
We will never tolerate it this time.
Once we If you endure it this time, the surrounding countries will surely follow suit, especially the city-states of Tianzhu in the south, the Great Cannibals in the west, and the Slavs and Chebi people in the north.
These small countries and tribes have always been dishonest.
Maybe we in the West will There will also be turmoil within Qin."
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, looked at Dugujun, the supervisor of the Judiciary Temple, and asked: "Dugujun, what do you think?"
Dugujun said: "Your Majesty, it is up to the King to decide whether to fight or not.
However, Xiaguan believes that this is the first time that our Western Qin Royal Court has faced a foreign incident in a unique capacity since its establishment.
We must handle it properly.
This will determine our How will Western Qin appear in the eyes of surrounding countries and tribes in the future?"
Zhao Ziliang listened to the opinions of other people, thought for a long time and finally said: "We will wait until Zhao Ting is rescued
