Zhao Ziliang spent a pleasant afternoon at Yang Yuhuan's Taihua Temple.
He returned to the Jiedushi Mansion before dinner and sent for Liu Dan, the chief officer of the rites department of the Government Affairs Council.
Liu Dan was an old man who followed Zhao Ziliang.
He had been serving in the Suiye Governor's Mansion these years.
After the Suiye Governor's Mansion was abolished, he was transferred to the Beiting Governor's Mansion.
After the establishment of the Western Qin Royal Court, he was appointed as the chief officer of the Rites Department. .
"Greetings to your Majesty, I wonder what your Majesty's orders are when recruiting officials?"
Liu Dan bowed and said.
Zhao Ziliang asked Liu Dan to sit down, and asked the waiter to bring tea, and then asked Liu Dan: "Master Liu, I would like to know which envoys are stationed in Western Qin from the neighboring countries."
Liu Dan was the chief official of the Bureau of Ceremonies, so of course he knew these things, so he raised his hand and replied: "Back to your Majesty, the countries that have envoys stationed in Hengluosi City include the Eastern Roman Empire, the Dashi Kingdom, and the Northern Tianzhu Laziput The Thirty-Six Parts of Humanity, Southern Tianzhu’s The Chola Kingdom, Pandya Kingdom, Pallava and other countries, as well as the Tubo Kingdom, Nibala Kingdom, the Kimak Khanate in the north, the Oghuz people north of the Aral Sea and downstream of the Yaosha River, and the Oghuz people The Kipchaks who live further north have envoys in Hengluosi City."
Zhao Ziliang took out a large sheepskin map, looked at it, and asked: "Are the Kipchaks descendants of Kang Juguo during the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Dan nodded and said: "Your Majesty is very knowledgeable, and the Kipchaks are the descendants of Kang Juguo."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the map again and said: "Between our Western Qin and the Khazar Khanate are the Oghuz and the Pechenegs.
Do the Pechenegs have envoys stationed here?"
The Pechenegs are mainly distributed between the Volga River and the Ural River, and some have moved west to western Ukraine and eastern Romania.
To their south is the Khazar Khanate located north of the Black Sea.
Liu Dan shook his head and said: "Not yet, the Pecheneg people are not unified.
They have eight tribes, namely the first: Yi'ertian tribe, the second: Zouer tribe, the third: Jira tribe, the fourth: The Kuole tribe, The fifth: Chalabo Yi tribe, the sixth: Ta Lama Ti tribe, the seventh: Chuo Ben tribe, the eighth: Zou Ben tribe.
The names of their tribal leaders are: Baizansi of Yiertian tribe and Zou Wuer.
The width of the part Yele, Kuo'er Kuotai from the Ji La tribe, Yi Bao Si from the Kuole Zu tribe, Hai Tong from the Chala Bo Yi tribe, Hu Si Da Si from the A La Ma Ti tribe, Qu Zi Si from the Chuo Ben tribe, Zou The Batas Pechenegs of the headquarters appeared After being threatened by the Kipchaks, Oghuz and Kimaks, two groups had already moved west.
They were relatively friendly to us.
Our caravans had never been encountered in the territory of Pechenegbu.
"Plunder" Zhao Ziliang asked: "What is their relationship with the Khazar Khanate?"
Liu Dan replied: "Of course it's not good.
The cavalry of the Khazar Khanate often invades the Pecheneg territory to plunder and hunt.
Confrontations between the two sides are common, but the relationship between the Khazar Khanate and the Eastern Roman Empire is good. , and being in-laws, the Eastern Roman Empire has great support for the Khazar Khanate in terms of weapons and equipment, and sells a large amount of ordnance to the Khazar Khanate every year."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and then ordered: "Select a person from the Lisi Department, form a mission and send it to the territory of the Pechenegs to ask for an audience with the leaders of their eight tribes.
Tell them that the king has decided to send troops to attack the Khazar Khanate, and ask them to send troops to assist." , if they agree to send troops, I can come forward to warn the Kipchaks and Kimaks so that they will not invade the west again."
Liu Dan handed over his hand and agreed: "Promise" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and then said: "Tomorrow, the king wants to meet with the envoys of the Oghuz, Kipchak, and Kimak Khanates in Hengluos.
This time, I want to bring these khanates and tribes to march together. , you bring them here to see the king tomorrow."
"Follow your orders" The next morning, a group of envoys set out from Hengluosi, first went south to the Yaosha Shui River, and then quickly headed northwest along Yaosha Shui.
Because Zhao Ziliang decided to send troops to attack the Khazar Khanate, although Zhao Ziliang decided this matter only the day before and announced it to the military and political officials, the news spread quickly.
Babud, the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire stationed in Hengluos, Si was shocked when he learned the news.
Over the years, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Khazar Khanate have been staunch allies.
The Khazar Khanate has repeatedly lent troops to the Eastern Roman Empire to deal with the Great Food Kingdom.
Without the restraint of the Khazar Empire in the South Caucasus, the Great Food Country would have been annexed long ago.
Armenia, now the Western Qin royal court wants to send troops to attack the Khazar Khanate, that is, to attack the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
The Eastern Roman Empire could not control the allies of the Roman Empire, either politically or strategically.
Therefore, after receiving the news, Babudus immediately rushed to the Jiedushi Mansion to ask for an audience with Zhao Ziliang, but Zhao Ziliang was meeting with the Oghuz people at this time. , the Kipchaks and the envoys of the Kimak Khanate did not have time to see him for the time being.
In the lobby of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang was talking to the envoys of Oghuz, Kipchak and Kimak Khanate.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the Kimak Khanate envoy Hajib and the Kipchak envoy Klebul and shouted: "Your Excellency Hajib, I have heard that in the past few years, your Kimak Khanate's cavalry has repeatedly gone south across the Yibo Sea.
Lake Balkhash robbed our herdsmen, cattle and sheep in Western Qin, do you know about this?"
Hajib said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case.
The Tang Empire is powerful throughout the world, and the Western Qin Royal Court is famous in the Western Regions.
How dare we, the Kimak Khanate, touch your Majesty's tiger beard?

Please enlighten me."
Klebler, the envoy of the Kipchaks, also immediately said: "Your Majesty, since your Majesty ruled the Western Regions, we Kipchaks have been operating in the Ula Mountains and have never gone south to invade your territory."
Zhao Ziliang said with a bad look on his face: "According to what you say, I have wronged you."
The two said in succession: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Zhao Ziliang continued: "This king has witnesses.
A few days ago, our Western Qin Rangers captured dozens of Kimaks and Kipchaks who went south to plunder on the south bank of Yi Bohai.
How do you explain this matter?
" Hajib and Klebler looked at each other, a little at a loss for a moment.
Zhao Ziliang said angrily: "You small barbarian countries have repeatedly invaded our territory of the Tang Dynasty and Western Qin.
This is a provocation and contempt for our Tang Empire and the Royal Court of Western Qin.
I am informing you now to ask Kimak The Khanate and the Kipchaks declared war, and soon a large army was launched to attack them."
Hajibu and Klebler were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly said in unison: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, we really don't know about this matter.
We Kimaks and Kipchaks will never dare to go against your Majesty.
Please take back your order." , we Kimak people and Kipchaks can compensate the king for his losses, and write a letter of apology to the Tang Empire and the Western Qin Dynasty, asking for the king’s forgiveness.”
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Is it enough to just compensate for the losses and write a letter to apologize?
This is too cheap for you.
If I send people to rob the Kimak Khanate, kill a group of people, and then pay a few dollars, Just say a casual apology and it'll be over, are you happy with that?"
Hajib and Klebler looked at each other.
Neither of them expected that Zhao Ziliang was actually making things up out of thin air this time and talking nonsense.
They only knew that someone from their tribe had indeed gone south to plunder in recent years, so there was no truth to this matter.
They all knew in their hearts that they were afraid of heavy bleeding this time, so they asked in unison: "I wonder what your Majesty's request is?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Last year, our Western Qin caravan was plundered in the Khazar Khanate.
I sent a delegation to inquire and ask them to cooperate in maintaining the safety of the trade routes.
After all, this is beneficial to the surrounding countries, but this Khazar Khanate The Khanate not only refused to cooperate, but also killed my envoys and detained my envoys.
I really hate that the actions taken by the Khazars against my envoys were tantamount to targeting our Western Qin royal court.
This king is determined to send troops to attack the Khazar Khanate.
In addition to compensating for the losses caused by plundering our borders and apologizing, this king needs to send 30,000 troops.
Kimak Khan The country will send 20,000 troops and the Kipchaks will send 10,000 troops to join us in attacking the Khazar Khanate.
If not, I will first send troops to destroy the Kimaks and Kipchaks, and then attack the Khazars."
Hajib said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, you are a bit pushy, aren't you?
What does the grudge between the Western Qin and the Khazars have to do with our Kimak Khanate?"
"Of course it has something to do with it, because first of all I'm sorry, I just want to ask you one sentence, do you agree to send troops?"
Facing Zhao Ziliang's aggressiveness, Hajib and Klebler wanted to bite the bullet and refuse, but they were worried that Zhao Ziliang would really send troops to attack the Kimak Khanate and the Kipchaks first.
Although the Kipchaks are now dominated by the Kimak Khanate, they still have great independence.
The Kimak Khanate cannot be the master of the Kipchaks whether to send troops.
Neither of them has the right to make this decision.
Kleibler stroked his chest and said: "Your Majesty, we really can't make the decision on this matter.
We can only send fast horses back to report your Majesty's request to the leader of the tribe, Yehu Qinchao, also known as She."
Hajib also said: "Yes, I also need to send someone back to the Khan tent of Kemakya on the Shihe River in Ye'er, that is, the Irtysh River, to report the matter to the Khan of our Khanate, and the Khan will decide."
The Kimak people generally operate in the Irtysh River Basin and present-day northern Kazakhstan.
They are half-cultivating and half-grazing.
They have settlements and agricultural activities in northern Kazakhstan.
Their capital is in Kermakya, which is not a city, but The location of the khan tent of the Kimak people.
The Kimak Khanate was founded around 743 AD and was composed of the Kimaks, Kipchaks, Tatars and other Turks.
It can also be said that they are the descendants of the Turks.

At that time, Tiele Uihe emerged in Mobei, and some Turks People began to move westward and established the Kimak Khanate west of the Altai Mountains and the Irtysh River Basin.
The Kimak Khanate has two major tribes, namely Yimur and Yemark.
There are seven major tribes in the Khanate.
In addition to Yimur and Yemark, there are also Kipchak, Boyanduer and Nilehar.
Wait for the tribe.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, you have half a month":
