After Magath was taken away, Habir hesitated for a long time.
Between faith and power, he chose power.
Now the princes and nobles of the Khazar Khanate believe in Judaism, but most civilians believe in Christianity and Islam.
Among the princes and nobles, General Bulan is the main figure.
Bulan has a heavy military power.
He has 10,000 cavalry under his command.
He is the most powerful captain of ten thousand soldiers in the Khazar Khanate.
This man's influence on the princes and nobles of the Khazar Khan is The strength is too great, and this person obeys Magath's advice, so Magath Ghat is from the Eastern Roman Empire.
Although this man has no official position in the Eastern Roman Empire, he has a noble status because of his unusual relationship with Constantine V.
In other words, the Eastern Roman Empire has a strong influence on the Khazar Khanate.
Control has reached an unimaginable level.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Habier's forehead.
If it weren't for the Western Qin army's invasion this time, he would still be confused by Magath, Bulan and others, and would not realize the crisis of the Khazar Khanate at all.
Habir looked at Bu Lan and said: "General Bu Lan, the Western Qin people are coming fiercely.
Although our Khazar Khanate has declined, it must not lose its prestige.
I have ordered you to be the front general and lead my troops to attack the Western Qin."
At the vanguard of the army, Ben Khan then personally came with a large number of troops to join forces to fight the main force of the Western Qin army."
Bulan never thought that Habier's purpose in appointing him to the front line was to cut off his minions with the help of the Western Qin Army.
He thought Habier's arrangement was a sign of his respect and trust, so he immediately left the squad to salute and agreed: "Please tell Cihan to see Bu Lan's performance.
I will definitely defeat the Western Qin army and make them cry for father and mother."
"Well, okay, you go make preparations first and then you can set off."
"Yes, Tasihan" After Bulan left, Habier told his trusted ministers: "Immediately send people to the Eastern Roman Empire to ask for help, and send people to meet with Queen Theodora and Queen Inalin, and ask them to tell Constantine.
The fifth generation exerts influence and pressure, and must let the Eastern Roman Empire send troops to rescue, otherwise our Khazar Khanate will be in danger."
Theodora, the empress dowager of the Eastern Roman Empire, was Habil's sister, and the current queen, Inalin, was Habil's daughter.
Therefore, Constantine V was both Habil's nephew and his son-in-law.
This is popular among the people.
After a close relationship, how to treat this kind of family affection depends on the inner thoughts of the parties involved.
Some kings value feelings and even put personal relationships above national interests.
Some kings have reason that trumps feelings and often put personal feelings behind them.
Take it lightly.
"Yes, Tasihan" Habier asked Minister Modar: "Who is the commander of the Western Qin army this time?"
"In answer to Ci Han, this time it is Zhao Ziliang, the king of Western Qin, who personally leads the army."
Habier's face became more solemn and he said: "It seems that this Khan is going to meet him in person.
According to this Khan's order, all the armies of all ethnic groups quickly gathered in Samandar.
Now we can only use the strength of the whole country to fight against the Western Qin army.
's invading" The leaders of various ministries, the commanders of thousands and captains of the army all held their chests and loudly agreed: "Yes, Ta Ci Han" After Queen Irina left, Constantine V thought for a long time and then shouted to the door: "Inform all ministers to come to the Government Hall to discuss matters."
"Yes, my lord" Soon, the ministers of the Eastern Roman Empire came to pay tribute to Constantine V, and then stood aside.
When everyone arrived, Constantine V said: "The queen came to see me just now and told me that the Tang State's Western Qin Army was preparing to attack the Khazar Khanate.
She asked me to send troops to fight with the Khazars against the Tang State.
Western Qin Army, I don’t know what you think about this matter.”
Consul Barteus stood up and saluted and asked: "Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, I don't know whether you are referring to the Queen's persuasion to send troops to help the Khazars, or whether we in the Eastern Roman Empire want to help the Khazars to resist the Western Qin Army. thing" This question is very meaningful.
If it is the former, Queen Irina is suspected of interfering in politics.
If it is the latter, it also implies that she instigated the Khazars to intercept and kill the Western Qin caravan.
Constantine V took a deep look at Barteus and said: "Of course it's the latter, Barteus, what's your attitude towards this?"
"Dear Your Majesty, I think we should use this rare time to recuperate and recuperate.

It is not appropriate to waste money and food on sending troops abroad.
Besides, our current main enemy is not the Tang State.
First of all, it is the Slavs and Bulgars in the north, and secondly the east.
The Arabs said that Rahman, a descendant of the Umayyad dynasty, organized an army to defeat the army of the Abbasid dynasty in Spain, and developed the economy there.
Culture, education and the construction of towns have achieved remarkable results.
He called himself the Emir a few years ago.
Several Christian kingdoms in Spain were captured and massacred by him.
We in the Eastern Roman Empire cannot underestimate this emerging strength, which is even more worrying.
What is more important is the rise of the Frankish Kingdom.
In recent years, they have continued to expand and their territory has more than doubled.
I think we must stop their crazy expansion."
After Barteus finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to refute his words and strongly suggested sending troops to help the Khazar Khanate against the Tang Dynasty's Western Qin army.
The war faction and the peace faction refused to give in to each other and insisted on their own opinions.
The public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.
After careful consideration, Constantine V decided not to directly send troops to help the Khazar Khanate. , so as not to directly confront the Tang Empire, But secretly, they wanted to reinforce the Khazar Khanate.
The main method was to send mercenaries to join the Khazar army to fight against the Western Qin Army.
In addition, they supported the Khazar Khanate with a large amount of food, bows and arrows, weapons and armor, so that the Khazar Khanate could Human strength increases.
On March 12, Zhao Ziliang led the escort and the Second Army to the Aral Sea to join the Eighth Army.
Within the next few days, the cavalry from the First Army, the Fourth Army, and the Sixth Army arrived successively.
The Fifth Army and the Basic Army arrived.
Mark's 20,000 horses and Kipchak's 10,000 horses also came soon after.
The three tribes of the Pechenegs also came to join the alliance before March 15th.
On March 15th, 50,000 cavalry of the Western Qin, 20,000 cavalry of Kimak, 10,000 cavalry of the Kipchaks, 10,000 cavalry of the Pechenegs, and 10,000 cavalry of the Oghuz were stationed west of Aralsk on the north coast of the Aral Sea.
The Qin army has completed its rendezvous at the garrison, with a total of 100,000 troops.
Near the camp of the Western Qin Army in Aralsk, flags were fluttering, colorful flags stood in a forest, thousands of horses galloped, and smoke and dust shot straight into the sky.
In the large oilcloth tent, Zhao Ziliang sat on the Grand Master's chair covered with snow leopard skin with his hands on the armrests and a golden sword, watching the commanders of each regiment come in one after another to pay their respects.
"Zhao Hu, Commander of the First Army, pays homage to the King" "Second Army Commander Bai Xiaode pays homage to the King" "The Commander of the Fourth Army, Wei Meng, pays homage to the King" "The commander of the fifth army, Huo Kan, pays homage to the king" "Xuan Yi, Commander of the Sixth Army, pays homage to the King" "Xuan Er, Commander of the Seventh Army, pays homage to the King" "Xuan San, Commander of the Eighth Army, pays homage to the King" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, and the commanders of each army stood on the left side in accordance with the order.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand again and said: "Let the surrounding khanates, tribal khans, khans, and leaders enter in order."
"King Weiqir of Kimak Khan pays homage to His Highness the King of Western Qin of the Tang Empire" "Kaya of Oghuz Khan met with His Highness the King of Western Qin of the Tang Empire" "Khan Mo'erge of the Qinchao Ministry met with His Highness the King of Western Qin of the Tang Empire" "The leader of Pecheneg's Jisha Tribe, Kuo'er Kuotai, paid a courtesy visit to His Highness the King of Western Qin of the Tang Empire" "Qu Zisi, the leader of Pecheneg's Chu headquarters, paid a visit to His Highness the King of Western Qin of the Tang Empire" "Badasi, the leader of Pecheneg's Zou headquarters, pays homage to His Highness the King of Western Qin of the Tang Empire" "The leader of Huaqizimo, An Bahan, paid homage to His Highness the King of Western Qin" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "All the Khan kings and leaders, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" When the leaders and the Khan King took their seats, Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and said: "This king sent troops to conquer the Khazars because the Khazars bullied others too much.
Our Western Qin caravan has always been law-abiding when conducting business in the Khazar Khanate.
But the Khazars attacked and killed my caravan for no reason.
I, the Western Qin Dynasty, sent envoys to ask for an explanation.
The Khazars not only refused to give an explanation, but also killed my envoys and detained them.
As the saying goes, it is tolerable.
Since the Khazars are so unreasonable and unreasonable, we in the Western Qin Dynasty will no longer reason with them.
In the face of barbarism, only swords and guns have the right to speak.
You will send troops with me this time, and whoever gets the spoils will belong to him.
It all depends on your own ability, but how to fight and how to fight, you must obey my king's orders, and you are not allowed to send troops without permission.
Anyone who disobeys the orders and does his own thing will be killed without mercy."
All the Khan kings and leaders stood up and saluted and agreed: "We are willing to obey the king's order."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "I would like to know how many soldiers and horses each of you brought this time.
How many soldiers and horses did you bring this time, King Wei Qil of Kimak Khan?"
Vichir stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the little Khan has brought 20,000 fine cavalry this time, and he is willing to lead the way for your Majesty."
Twenty Thousand Elite Cavalry Many Khan King leaders could not help but laugh in their hearts.

If there were really 20,000 fine cavalry, they would not have been beaten to a pulp by a legion of Western Qin, and would have been forced to surrender.
"Okay."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "I have my own plan on how to use your 20,000 fine knights.
Just sit down."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang said again: "Kaya of Oghuz Khan, how many troops and horses have you brought this time?"
Kaya stood up and saluted and replied: "In response to the king's words, the little Khan has brought 8,000 warriors from the clan this time for the king to drive."
Kipchak Khan Moerg immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the young Khan has brought five thousand elite cavalry from the clan."
Kuo'er Kuotai, the leader of Pecheneg's Jisha Tribe, said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Khan has brought 3,000 elite cavalry from the clan."
Quzi, the leader of Pecheneg's headquarters, thought: "Your Majesty, the little Khan has brought three thousand warriors from the clan."
Badasi, the leader of Pecheneg’s Zou tribe: “Your Majesty, the little Khan has also brought three thousand warriors from the tribe.”
Anba Khan, the leader of Khwarezm, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the younger Khan has brought three thousand camel soldiers, two thousand cavalry, and two thousand infantry from the clan."
Zhao Ziliang said loudly with a smile on his face: "Okay, I have 50,000 elites in my headquarters, plus the troops under your command, there are a total of 100,000.
The 100,000 army conquered a small Khazar Khanate.
You are all heroes for a while, and destroyed it."
The Khazar Khanate is just around the corner” All the Khans and leaders suddenly laughed: "Hahaha" After laughing, the three Pecheneg leaders stood up and saluted at the same time: "Your Majesty, after destroying the Khazar Khanate, we begged the King to grant us the territory of the Khazar Khanate as pasture, and we will give it to your Majesty every year."
Give generous tributes" The laughter in the big tent stopped immediately, and the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.
Oghuz Khan King Kaya immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the water and grass in the Khazar Khanate are rich and perfect for herding horses."
It’s a good place for grazing sheep.
I sincerely ask the king to grant us a piece of pasture in Ogus.”
Anba Khan, the leader of Khwarezm, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Khazar Khanate is not far away from Khwarizm across the sea.
Please grant me a piece of pasture for our people to graze."
After listening to the requests of these chief khans, several other khan chiefs also stood up and hoped that Zhao Ziliang would give them a piece of territory.
The smile on Zhao Ziliang's face disappeared, and his face became stiff for a few seconds before smiling brightly: "I understand the thoughts of all the Khan leaders, but the area of the Khazar Khanate is not large.
If so many people go How much can each person share?
Besides, if we really want to share, how should we share the water plants?
The Khan of the rich and beautiful territory is naturally very happy.
If the leader of the Khan is given the barren land, he will definitely be unwilling to do so.
I don’t think it is worse than this.
The battle has not been fought yet.
We don’t know whether we will win or lose.
Wait until we win.
The Khazars will come back to discuss this matter after destroying the Khazar Khanate.
I don’t know what you think.”
After thinking about it, everyone felt that it made sense.
It was indeed too early to talk about dividing the territory now.
It was better to wait until the Khazar Khanate was destroyed
