"Well, you are an army that cannot be defeated, cannot be delayed, has extremely strong combat power and super strong willpower.
The enemy will tremble at the thought of your arrival.
Your appearance will make everyone frightened.
Other enemies will You are all vulnerable, and your biggest enemy can only be yourselves.
If you can overcome laziness, fatigue, and control all the emotions that weaken or lose your combat power, you will be invincible in the world."
"I am your king, and I will be the best and most competent king.
I will let all the people of Western Qin have enough food, clothing, and live in spacious and bright houses; let everyone have a little to support and a happy life.
To rely on; let politics be clear and everyone can live freely; let the fallen soldiers enjoy glory and admiration , Let the injured soldiers receive preferential treatment, let the families of the martyrs have no worries about food and clothing; let talented people use their talents; protect all the people from external humiliation, let the Western Qin army be powerful in the world, and let the Western Qin Conquer the Western Regions and make all the tribes bow their heads, making every citizen feel proud to be a Western Qin citizen."
"You are a soldier and a general.
You must be the strongest soldier and an invincible general.
Soldiers cannot live without pursuit.
People without pursuit are like zombies.
This is our common pursuit.
You must do it.
Are you ready?”
"Ready" "I will wait and see, let's go" The army began to set off in units of teams, and the marching route went down the southwest direction.
There is still a large area of land and pasture on the right side of the lower reaches of the Volga River, which is ruled by the Khazar Khanate.
Zhao Ziliang led Duan Xiushi and two thousand cavalry guards and entered the territory of the Khazars after a day's march.
After that, the marching speed of the Western Qin Army slowed down a bit.
They had to be careful to avoid the residences of the Khazars and the Khazar Rangers’ sentries, so the speed would naturally slow down.
Khazar army camp.
Hong Yi entered the tent with two followers and bowed to Habir: "Hong Yi, the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, has met the Khazar Khan."
Habier asked with an unkind expression: "Envoy of Western Qin, why did the King of Western Qin send you here?"
Hong Yi calmly asked: "King Khan, don't you please sit down?
Inviting guests to sit down is the most basic etiquette for any civilized nation.
It is said that the Khazars are a nation that has escaped from barbarism and entered a civilized era.
Are these things?
It’s a rumor” These words made Habier extremely embarrassed, and he quickly ordered his surroundings: "Why don't you give the Western Qin envoy a seat soon?"
A small stool was brought over, Hong Yi sat down generously, cupped his hands and said: "May I ask King Khan, earlier our Western Qin caravan was plundered by your country's cavalry in your country, and then we sent envoys and Khan The king negotiated with me, but I didn’t know that your country not only refused to admit its mistake, but also brutally killed all the followers and guards of my envoy, and detained my envoy.
In this matter, are the king of Khan and your country at fault first?"
Habil: "This" Hong Yi continued: "Does King Khan know why people in the civilized world despise and hate the barbarians?
Because the barbarians are unreasonable at all.
They only recognize fists, swords, guns, bows and arrows.
I think that King Khan and the people of your country are such people.
Otherwise, King Khan and your nobles Why did the country loot my caravan, kill members of my mission, and detain my envoys for no reason?"
Habir was not happy.
He said angrily: "You fart, why is this Khan a barbarian?
How can I, the Khazar Khanate, be a barbaric country?
Our country has been established for more than 200 years.
We have already had writing, etiquette, and trade with other countries."
We are a group that has truly entered the civilized world.
As for the looting of your caravan, it was not our Khazar Khanate who did it.
The reason why I, the Khan, detained the envoys and killed the followers and guards was because they were disrespectful to me.
In my territory, Do not abide by the laws of our country” Hong Yi shook his head and said: "King Khan, it's meaningless for you to say that.
Do you know who the envoy of our country you detained is?

He is our Second Prince of the Western Qin Dynasty.
If it were someone else, he might be talking nonsense, but the Second Prince must not It is impossible that his identity and mission will never allow him to slander and slander other people at will, because your country and the two countries are not bordering each other, and there is no conflict of interest.
The second prince has no reason to frame you and your country."
Habier had a gloomy face and said in a cold tone: "Envoys, you have such a big mouth, you can say whatever you want, but the looting of your caravan was definitely not done by our army and you, the Western Qin Dynasty, want to fight against it.
I, the Khazar Khanate, will never be afraid.”
"No one will be afraid, especially when it comes to the dignity of the eight million people of the entire Western Qin Dynasty and the royal family.
King Khan, I hope you will consider it clearly.
What your country has done has directly hurt the face of our Western Qin royal family.
This It is an insult to all our people in Western Qin It's humiliating.
Once the war starts, it will be an endless situation.
Even if we fight to the last person in the Western Qin Dynasty, we will never stop.
I hope King Khan can understand where the ancestors of you Khazar people came from.
You were conquered from the east.
The Northern Wei Dynasty was driven out and defeated The Gaoche Kingdom forced you, a branch of the Western Turks, the Khazars, to move westward.
The Northern Wei Dynasty only occupied the northern Central Plains and had already swept away the northern barbarians.
Now our Tang Empire has conquered All the countries in the world are not If you don't surrender, you, a small Khazar tribe, dare to compete with our Datang Empire.
Your Khazar tribe can only have one million people at most, while our Datang Empire has a population of more than 70 million, and its territory stretches thousands of miles from east to west.
It is so far away that it would take a year to complete it on horseback.
Our country pays an annual tax of The tax is as high as 80 million guan.
The tax of your Khazar state is 5 million guan.
Our Tang Dynasty has nearly one million war horses.
How many do you have?
Our Tang Dynasty has an army of one million.
How many does your Khazar state have?
Our Tang Dynasty builds it every year.
With millions of sets of weapons and armor, your Khazar country can fight The Eastern Roman Empire has the inheritance of the Western Roman Empire and is one of the most powerful countries in the Western world.
However, the Eastern Roman Empire does not dare to show off its power in front of our Datang Empire.
If it dares to offend us, our Datang Empire will directly cut it off. its trade routes, its The strength of the Pechenegs will be reduced by half.
King Habir Khan, you have not realized what kind of existence you and your Khazar Khanate are going to face.
The Pechenegs have been fighting with you Khazars for so many years. have the upper hand, if you hadn't I am afraid that the support of the Eastern Roman Empire will not be so easy.
Now that the Pechenegs have been driven westward by us, if the Khan persists, the next one who will be unlucky will be the Khazar Khanate.
Is there any chance for the Khazar Khanate to move westward?"
Habier's hands on his legs were held tightly, and they looked a little white due to excessive exertion.
The muscles under the old bark-like skin on his face kept shaking, and his forehead and vest kept shaking.
The ground was dripping with sweat.
His lips trembled.
Apparently Hong Yi's reminder reminded him of the stories handed down by his ancestors.
Hong Yi did have the confidence to say this.
He was just holding on.
Although the Khazar Khanate was in this generation It can despise the surrounding barbarians because it has some strength, but compared with Western Qin They were far behind each other in all aspects.
The strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
At this time, he felt fear, but he was also the leader of a country.
How could he lose his prestige?
He took a deep breath. , said in a deep voice: "Envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, tell me your purpose of coming."
Hong Yi took out a scroll from his arms, opened it and read: "First, the Khazar Khanate surrenders to our Western Qin; second, hand over the murderer who looted our Western Qin caravan; third, the Khan King must surrender to me in person.

The king presented his sword to admit his mistake, apologize and express his surrender to us, Western Qin, from now on; fourth, he would compensate our caravan for losses and our army’s military expenses of 8 million guan; fifth, he would pay tribute to our king every year of 2,000 horses, cattle and sheep.
Five thousand heads, five hundred gold catties” This is really an exorbitant price.
Habier has a violent personality.
After hearing this, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Fart, I think you are crazy.
Come here, drag these people out and chop them up."
Hong Yi smiled and sat motionless.
A minister next to him quickly said: "Wait a minute."
The Khazar warriors who were about to drag Hong Yi and others out again retreated.
The minister saluted Habir and said: "Tacihan, even if you don't agree with their conditions, you can send them away with courtesy, but you cannot kill them.
The envoy represents the King of Western Qin.
If we kill him, we and Western Qin will never have any room to turn around.
Since ancient times, it has been the custom for the two countries not to kill envoys when fighting.
If we don't abide by the rules, will be judged by others What's ridiculous is that when two countries in the civilized world are at war, even if one side loses, the winning side will not kill the monarch of the losing side, because if a king wants to maintain his own dignity, he has to safeguard the dignity of other kings, but if Daqiha kills the other party, As an envoy, it is equivalent to attacking the other party's king, and the other party has no need or obligation to maintain your dignity.
There are rules, and the rules cannot be broken at will.
Please think twice."
As a monarch, Haber certainly knew the importance of maintaining his authority and dignity, but he did not understand the underlying rules between kings of various countries.
After hearing what the minister said, he felt that it made sense, so he nodded, Asked: "But the conditions they proposed are too harsh.
I can't accept what you say."
The minister thought for a while and said to Hong Yi: "Your Majesty, our monarch and his ministers need to discuss it.
Please go out and rest first.
I will arrange a tent for you and your entourage.
If you have any needs, please ask us as soon as possible.
You must try your best to be satisfied.”
Hong Yi stood up and held up his hands and said: "You are a Khazarian official who has seen the world.
I am happy to negotiate with a Khazar official like you.
We should have no obstacles to negotiation."
"Thank you for your consideration."
After Hong Yi left, the minister asked Habier: "Ansakahan, the other party just put forward five conditions.
I don't know which of the conditions you are dissatisfied with.
Since the other party is asking for a high price, can we pay back the money on the spot?
This matter is ours."
The mistake was made first, but the Western Qin army is now in great power , are eyeing us, and we can’t do it without bowing our heads, otherwise we can only start fighting.
If Tajihan is sure, we will naturally not be afraid.
If Tajihan thinks that the chance of victory is not good, then we will keep our ancestors’ legacy.
These foundations must be lowered”:
