In order not to repeat Bulan's mistake, Habier ordered the patrol sentries to be sent to all easy-to-cross riverbank areas along the Volga River in the Khazar Khanate to monitor every move of the Tang army from all directions.
At this time, Habier did not dare to act rashly.
He knew very little about the situation of the Western Qin Army.
What's more, this time there were not only the Western Qin Army, but also the Pecheneg people's Jisha tribe and the troops of the Kimak Khanate.
Although This coalition has a relatively large force, but they are all cavalry and move quickly.
They move one position a day.
It is very difficult to accurately locate them.
While Habier sent out rangers to explore the ever-changing camps of the Western Qin Army, he also sent people to clear out Bulan's forces in Samandal.
He decided to wait until there was news from Samandal that Bulan's forces had been eradicated.
Fighting with the Western Qin army, Bu Lan was also executed.
On the ninth day of May, the day after Habier ordered Bulan to be taken into custody, a Khazarian warrior came in from outside the tent and reported to Habiru: "Tachan, a group of envoys from the Eastern Roman Empire came outside the camp, and they asked for an interview.
There are officials from our Khazar Khanate with them leading the way."
"Why did the Eastern Roman Empire's envoys come here?
Aren't they afraid of being caught or killed by the Western Qin army?"
Habier was quite surprised.
A minister next to him saluted and said: "Tachan, since this delegation is here and is led by officials from Samandar, it must have something important.
It's better for Tachan to meet him."
Habir thought for a moment and waved to the Khazar warriors: "Let them come in to see Ben Khan."
"Yes, Tasihan" Soon, a Khazar official came in with three people from the Eastern Roman Empire, including two officials and a priest.
This priest was surprisingly Magath, the bishop of Judaism in Samandar.
"Meet Tachan" Magath took the lead in saluting Habil.
When Habir saw Magath, his expression was a little bad.
He stared at Magath coldly and asked: "Bishop Magath, Samandar Ben Khan remembers you because you are too old and cannot bear to have you locked up in prison and tortured.
I kindly let you go, so what are you doing after chasing me here?"
Magath calmly saluted and said: "Dear Taqihan, I am here to save the Khazar Khanate this time.
The Western Qin army is coming fiercely, with tens of thousands of soldiers.
But Taqihan Although the warriors are good at fighting, they are poorly equipped and it may not be easy to defeat the Western Qin army.
The Khazar Khanate needs external rescue.
Your son-in-law and nephew, Emperor Constantine V of the Eastern Roman Empire, heard that your country was being attacked by the Western Qin army.
He was worried about you and the Khazar Khanate, so he sent I have received a delegation and entrusted me with full authority to discuss reinforcement matters with you."
Habir was very unhappy after hearing this.
Although the Khazar Khanate was called a khanate, it was actually an empire.
Living in its territory were not only the Khazars, the main ethnic group, but also Levi in the northwest.
The Magyars of Diya, the Alans living in the Caucasus Mountains, and even the Mordovan people in the north surrendered to the Khazar Khanate.
They only had tens of thousands of Western Qin troops.
Could it be that the Khazar Khanate faced the Western Qin Is the army bound to fail?
Habir was about to get angry when the minister next to him whispered to him: "Tacihan, what Magath said is not unreasonable.
Although our warriors are brave, they are indeed not as good as the Western Qin army in terms of weapons and armor.
If we can get With the support of the Eastern Roman Empire, the chances of winning are naturally much greater.
Why should Tacihan ignore the future of the Khazar Khanate just for the sake of a dispute of emotions?
The Eastern Roman Empire is willing to come to support.
Of course we can't ask for it.
If there are benefits, don't give up.
And this matter, I think your daughter, the Empress of the Eastern Roman Empire, is Lina must have also contributed.”
Habier thought for a while, and was convinced by the minister.

He looked up at Magath and asked: "Bishop Magath, I don't know how the Eastern Roman Empire is going to support us.
The Khazar Khanate thinks about the time when the Eastern Roman Empire was conquered by the East.
The Great Ogre invaded and attacked repeatedly.
The emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire asked our Khazar Khanate for help again and again.
Our Khazar Khanate sent tens of thousands of cavalry to help each time without saying a word.
How many troops did the Eastern Roman Empire prepare to send this time?
Ma Xiang helps us fight against the Western Qin army."
Magath saluted and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Tacchan, this time the Eastern Roman Empire is only prepared to support three thousand infantry, and they are all mercenaries."
Khabir was furious when he heard this: "Magath, are you making fun of me, the Khan of the Khazar Khanate?
The three thousand infantry are all hired by some bastards who don't know where they came from."
Army, I see that you sent these people here not to reinforce, but to prepare food for the Western Qin Army.
Come on, let’s see the guests off.”
"Slow down."
Magath quickly raised his hand, "Tacihan, calm down, I haven't finished what I said yet.
Even if you want to drive us away, you have to let me finish what I said.
Otherwise, how can I show the magnanimity of the Khazar people?"
" Habil raised his hand with a cold face, and the official who had just stood up to see off the guests stopped and retreated to his original position.
Habir said: "Okay, I will let you finish your words and see if you have anything else to say."
Magath said: "Answer, on the surface these three thousand men are mercenaries, hired by your country with money, but in fact these people are regular heavy infantry of our Eastern Roman Empire.
They have received strict military training.
If they form a heavy infantry phalanx, the general infantry formation is no match for it.
Not only is it not afraid of bows and arrows, but it can also effectively withstand the collision of heavy cavalry.
At critical moments, this is an army that can The army that turns the tide."
"Oh, if it is what you said, such an army can indeed be used, but the number seems to be too small.
We, the Khazar Khanate, have sent out all our troops to help your Eastern Roman Empire every time.
Now you have only sent three thousand troops.
Aren't you too stingy?"
Habier said quite dissatisfied.
Seeing that Habier's attitude had changed a bit, Magath decided to work harder and continued: "Tacihan, it's not that we don't want to send more troops, it's because our country has not turned against the Tang State and the Western Qin Dynasty.
Our country is not good.
Sending more troops.
If too many troops are sent, the Western Qin Army will discover the problem.
Then it will be bad for our country and the Tang State to fall out.
Moreover, our emperor, ministers and nobles do not want to fight with the Tang State now.
The Tang Dynasty fell out, and the cannibals in the east and the Bulgars in the west are eyeing our country, so our country can no longer make more enemies.
I hope Daqihan understands the difficulties of our emperor and his subjects.
This is just to compensate for the difficulties of our emperor and his subjects.
We are short of troops, and His Majesty the Emperor of our country has decided to first support your country with 6,000 swords, 10,000 spears, 6,000 sets of armor, 3,000 sets of vests, 300,000 arrows, and 300,000 pounds of food."
When Habier heard that there were so many ordnance supplies, he burst into laughter on the spot and said with a loud laugh: "Hahahaha, good, good, my good son-in-law is really generous.
This is what allies do.
Come on, give it to Bishop Magath and the two The lord of the Eastern Roman Empire gives you a seat."
Three small stools were quickly brought in.
Magath cursed in his heart that the barbarians turned out to be quicker than turning the pages of a book, and if they had breasts, they would be mothers.
However, he said: "Thank you, Tajihan, for sitting on it."
After sitting down, Magath said: "Tasihan, I have a small personal request, please agree to it."

Habir was so happy that he had received such a great benefit, and he was a little forgetful.
He raised his hand and said, "As long as this Khan can do it, I will definitely satisfy your request."
Magath said: "I heard that Tachan ordered General Bulan to be arrested and decided to execute him in a few days."
These words made Habier alert.
His expression changed and he asked: "You already know this matter, why are you asking this question?"
Magath smiled and said: "My request is to ask Cihan to release General Bu Lan.
After all, he has been fighting for you and is loyal to you.
Even if he is defeated by the Western Qin Army this time, But who can guarantee that they will never be defeated on the battlefield?
If whoever loses will be punished, then who will dare to lead the army to fight for you in the future?"
Habir's expression was very ugly, "Magath, Ben Khan doesn't understand.
Bulan is not related to you, so why do you want to save him?"
"General Bu Lan is God's people.
When all God's people are in trouble, I will find a way to save them.
Da Cihan, of course, this includes you.
This time you are fighting against the Western Qin Army, and your situation is not very good.
So I came, not only to save General Bu Lan, but also to save you.
You and General Bu Lan are both God's people and should help each other and deal with the Western Qin Army together."
Habier sneered in his heart, I don’t believe your nonsense.
If it weren’t for the purpose of stabilizing power and rule, I wouldn’t believe in Judaism.
Nowadays, whoever joins the religion or changes their faith for profit doesn’t want to fool me.
Don’t even think about it. ,snort Habir cursed in his heart and pretended to be thoughtful on his face.
He was actually having a hard time making a choice now.
Dealing with Blun and disintegrating his power in Samandar was what he had been planning for a while, but if not If you agree to Magath, this guy will probably make a fuss about the reinforcements and ordnance supplies.
He will either bring in some miscellaneous soldiers and a bunch of junk, or delay the time of sending troops and ordnance supplies.
He really wants Magath to delay For a while, I was afraid that the day lilies would be cold.
When Habir was in a dilemma, a confidant walked in from outside.
He quickly came to his side and whispered in his ear: "The matter on Samandar has been resolved."
These words made Habiel's heart fall back into his stomach.
Since Blun's power in Samandar has been solved, it doesn't matter if he is released now.
He can't jump anymore.
So Habir pretended to be extremely embarrassed and said to Magath: "For your sake, I can let Bulan go, but after all, Bulan failed in the battle and caused heavy losses to our army, so we must punish him." , Ben Khan deprived him of the official position of First Ten Thousand Captains, whipped him fifty lashes, and demoted him to an ordinary soldier."
Magath still disagreed with this punishment.
Although he also knew that it would be best if Blun could be exempted from punishment, he also knew that this was impossible.
However, he still decided to fight for it with Habil and try his best.
Reduce the punishment for Bu Lan.
If Bu Lan is deprived of all military power and official positions, Bu Lan will be of no use.
He immediately stood up and said: "Tacihan, this punishment is too severe.
You deprive him of his official positions and put him Being turned into an ordinary soldier would be more uncomfortable for him than killing him."
Habir frowned, thought for a long time before mitigating some of the punishment, and said: "Okay, for your sake, Ben Khan will reduce his punishment some, demote him to a captain of thousands, and give him fifty lashes as punishment."
"Thank you for showing mercy to Tashihan":
