Everyone has the habit of making up their minds.
Badasi’s automatic thinking saved Zhao Ziliang a lot of words.
After hearing Badasi’s words, Zhao Ziliang looked worried and said: “What if the three northern Pecheneg tribes were conquered by the Khazars?”
If someone bought it, then we will really be in trouble.
Since you have sent people to investigate, my army will stay here for a few days and wait until the news is confirmed before making plans."
Two days later, on March 29, the sentinel sent by Badas to investigate the situation came back.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang and all the khan leaders were in the big tent.
"Khan, after investigation, the villain did it, and it was indeed done by the troops of the Tajima Ti tribe.
The villain saw with his own eyes that they destroyed one of our settlements, killed our warriors, the old and the weak, and took away children and women. and cattle, sheep, horses and livestock, and burned down all the houses and tents.”
The Tanshao's words made Badasi furious: "Damn it, Tatsa Matibu, damn Husitasi, Khan will never have a break with you."
As soon as Badasi finished cursing, Zhao Lei, who was standing guard outside the tent, walked in with his sword and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "I would like to inform my father, there are a few people coming outside the camp gate.
They said they are from the Chuo Headquarters and the Tashi Department, especially I have come to see Chief Kuoer Kuotai and Chief Quzisi to report something urgent."
All the khan leaders had a bad premonition, especially Qu Zisi and Kuo'er Kuotai.
They all felt drums beating in their hearts.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Let them in quickly."
"Yes, father," Zhao Lei agreed and left.
Several Pechenegs were quickly brought into the big tent.
One of them, a strong man in a long leather robe, eagerly saluted Kuo'er Kuotai and reported: "Khan, something bad is going on.
The police in the north are here."
The Boyi tribe sent troops to attack several of our people's settlement areas in the north.
The adult warriors and the old and the weak were all killed.
The settlements were also burned to the ground.
Women, children, cattle, sheep, horses, livestock, and gold, silver and jewelry were all robbed. " Another Pecheneg man also reported to Quzi: "Khan, several of our settlements in the north have also been looted, and it was done by the Kuler tribe."
"It's really them."
Qu Zisi fiercely clapped the table and shouted, stood up, and then saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, the Kuolehuan tribe, the Chaciboyi tribe, and the Tacimati tribe are helping outsiders deal with us.
We, the Pechenegs, who are as close as brothers, deserve death.
We Pechenegs always repay kindness and revenge.
Please allow me to lead my sons to attack the Kuole tribe and kill Yiba Orsi."
Kuo'er Kuotai and Badasi also stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please allow us to lead our sons to attack the Chassibo Yi tribe and the Tasimati tribe, and kill Haitong and Husitasi."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hands and comforted him: "I understand the mood of the three leaders very well, but please calm down, the three leaders.
I have my own plans.
We were originally going to attack the Khazars this time, but now But something unexpected happened, Pechene The three tribes in northern Georgia were bribed by the Khazars with heavy sums of money to attack their own people.
On the one hand, they were deceived by the gold and silver wealth and abandoned their brotherhood and blood relationship.
This is betrayal and betrayal, which is shameful for any race or country in the world. of, It is a heinous crime, so I support you in leading your troops north to attack the three northern tribes; on the other hand, because the actions of the three northern tribes in Pecheneg interrupted and destroyed our plan to attack the Khazars, leaving our Western Qin army with a retreat was threatened, This king will never allow this to happen.
Even if we have to temporarily suspend the plan to attack the Khazars, we will first help you attack the three northern tribes.
After defeating the three northern tribes, we will then attack the west to attack the Khazars.
Leaders Khan thought” Badasi, Kuo'erkuotai and Quzisi were overjoyed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for extending a helping hand.
We, the three southern tribes of the Pechenegs, will never forget the kindness of Western Qin and Your Majesty."
"The three leaders are serious.
We are staunch allies.
If our allies are in trouble, of course we have to lend a helping hand.
Otherwise, what will our allies do?"
Zhao Ziliang asked the three men to get up, and then looked at Kimak Khan Weizi.
Er asked: "Vizir Khan, I have decided to help the three leaders of Badas deal with the threat from the north first, and then send an army to the west to attack the Khazars.
What do you think?

Do you agree?"
The Kimak Khanate was defeated by the Western Qin army and surrendered.
Now it has become a vassal state of the Western Qin.
Wherever there is any right to oppose, Zhao Ziliang naturally has whatever he says.
Vizier quickly said: "Everything about the Kimak Khanate Take the Western Qin Dynasty and lead it with the king.
We will fight wherever and whomever the king says.”
Zhao Ziliang nodded with a smile, patted the case and said loudly: "Okay, in that case, let's attack the three northern tribes first.
After the three northern tribes are solved, we will then attack the west to attack the Khazars.
Where are Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode?"
When Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode heard the order, they immediately stood up and clasped their fists, saying: "The general will be here."
"Wei Meng is the chief, and Bai Xiaode is the deputy.
I order you to lead the Second Army, the Fourth Army, and the Kimak Khanate's 10,000 troops to set out tomorrow and march westward to the Li River, that is, the Volga River, to join forces with the Khazar Army.
Look across the river, confront them, contain them, don't fight them easily, and be on guard against them waiting for an opportunity to cross the river to attack.
If there is an opportunity, your troops can also take the opportunity to attack, but you can't rush forward because of greed."
Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode were very excited and immediately agreed: "The last general will take the order."
Zhao Ziliang said to Kuo'er Kuotai and Qu Zisi: "Based on the strength of the Tashi tribe and Chuo Benbu, the three northern tribes should not be able to cause serious damage to these two tribes in a short time.
The leaders of Kuo'er Kuotai and Qu Zisi, The king orders you two to lead the troops and return first.
Headquarters, lead the troops to resist the harassment and attack of the Kuolechu tribe and the Chachiboyi tribe.
After we defeat the men of the Tasimati tribe first, we will then send troops to attack the Kuolezu tribe and the Chachiboyi tribe.
The king will send people I will go with you to facilitate the exchange of news.”
Kuo'er Kuotai and Qu Zisi immediately stood up and said, "Take the order."
Zhao Ziliang then said to the generals and King Vizier of Kimak Khan: "The generals and King Vizier Khan listen to the order.
Tomorrow you and others will lead the army along the Yayik River, the old name of the Ural River, to attack Tasimati. department" The generals and the vizier stood up and saluted with clasped fists: "No" On March 30th, the army was divided into four groups and set off separately.
Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode led the Second, Fourth and Kimak 10,000 troops and marched west first, followed by Kuo'er Kuotai and Qu Zisi.
The three thousand cavalrymen of the headquarters returned to their territory.
Zhao Ziliang led Wei Meng's fifth army, Ma Lin's escort, a total of 10,000 elite cavalry, and the Kimak Khanate's 10,000 cavalry, as well as Zou's headquarters.
Four thousand men and horses moved north along the Ural River.
At noon after six days of marching, Zhao Ziliang's army arrived fifty miles south of the bend in the middle reaches of the Ural River.
Zhao Ziliang asked Badasi: "Chief Badasi, how far is this place from the territory of the Tasamati tribe?"
Badasi replied: "Your Majesty, go fifty miles further north and you will reach the bend in the middle reaches of the Yayik River.
That is the junction of the territories of our Zou headquarters and the Tasimati tribe."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said immediately: "Xuan Shiba, immediately send out exploration horses to explore the situation around the river bend fifty miles to the north, and extend the scope of exploration to a hundred miles in radius."
The southern Russian grassland is really too big, with hills and bushes everywhere.
It is too easy to hide soldiers and horses.
Zhao Ziliang has to be careful.
Normally, the scope of investigation for marching operations is only fifty miles in radius.
This time, it has to be extended to a radius of 50 miles.
Hundreds of miles.
Xuan Shiba immediately agreed: "Promise" After the order was given, the army continued to advance.
An hour later, the army advanced thirty miles, and the scouting horse reported: "Reporting to your Majesty, there is only a burned camp at the river bend, and no trace of the enemy has been found.
Our scouting horses have spread out to investigate around the river bend. " After hearing this, Badasi said angrily: "The burned camp was one of the residences where our Zou headquarters was attacked by the Tatmadids."
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Chen Qing, please pass on the order.
The whole army will continue to set off towards the river bend.
We will camp at the river bend tonight and wait until we find out the situation within a hundred miles around before we make any calculations."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Chen Qing agreed, and immediately sent someone to give the order to continue moving forward.

At the end of the afternoon, the entire army set up camp at the bend of the middle and lower reaches of the Ural.
Since they were all cavalry and no infantry, Zhao Ziliang did not cut down trees and build fences and walls when setting up camp.
He simply made some horse-proof fences to guard some key entrances and exits. , if there are infantry and a large amount of food and baggage, this cannot be done.
After the camp was set up, Zhao Ziliang ordered that the soldiers be allowed to bathe and clean their horses by the river.
At the same time, he sent a large number of patrols to patrol within a radius of twenty miles.
Patrols were even sent to the north on the other side of the river.
Fortunately, it was only three days ago.
In August, the ice and snow in the Ural Mountains had just begun to melt, and the river was not big.
You could ride a horse directly across the river in some places.
In the afternoon and evening, the detective sentries returned one after another and reported to Zhao Ziliang one by one what they had discovered.
There were two small tribes of the Tajima Ti tribe within a hundred miles to the east, and there were also two small tribes within a hundred miles to the north.
Tribe, there is a medium tribe within a hundred miles to the west, and there is no sign of a large number of soldiers and horses from the Tashimati tribe yet.
After Zhao Ziliang ate barbecue and listened to the reports of the scouts one by one, he turned to Badas and asked: "Chief Badas, do you have a topographic map of the territory of the Tamati tribe and the specific locations of their various residences?"
Batas said: "To tell you what the king is saying, the Khan and his tribe have been to the territory of the Sabati tribe many times.
They have never thought of drawing any topographic map.
All routes, terrain and settlements are in our minds. " Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Badas: "Let's do this.
Find a tribesman with the best memory and the strongest expressive ability to verbally describe all the topographic routes and settlement locations of the Tashimat tribe that he remembers.
Tell it orally, and I will find someone to paint with a pen."
"Okay."
Badasi agreed, and immediately sent someone to find a thin and clever tribesman to come over and dictate from memory.
Zhao Ziliang asked Du Fu to draw what the man dictated with pen and ink.
A map was quickly drawn.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the terrain drawn on the parchment.
Although this terrain was slightly different from the situation around the middle reaches of the Ural River in later generations, the general terrain did not change much.
The various settlements are clearly drawn
