"General Bu Lan, you can appear here, you must have made a decision" Dugujun asked with a smile.
Bu Lan took a sip of the tea handed over by Dugujun and said: "Master Dugu, it's still too early to say that we have made a decision.
Like Sogdians and Greeks, we Khazars also like to do business.
Since I want to sell out, You have to sell yourself for a good price, otherwise how can you be worthy of yourself?"
Dugujun smiled when he heard this, "I heard that General Bu Lan has Jewish ancestry, no wonder he is so good at doing business."
Bu Lan was stunned, "I didn't expect you to even know this.
It seems you have done your homework.
Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Dugujun said seriously: "Both of us don't know whether this negotiation can succeed.
If it succeeds, we will support you to regain a foothold in the Khazar Khan.
You used to have many close subordinates.
You must gather these people to form a force, but you must obey our Otherwise, you will lose everything, even your life.
If the negotiation fails, we will continue to fight with the Khazar Khanate.
When the two armies are engaged in a decisive battle, we hope that General Blan can lead your men to Kazakhstan at the critical moment.
Bill counterattacks, no matter which one, you can get it To a greater power, as long as you are loyal to Western Qin, our king will not hesitate to reward you.
It will not be difficult for you to become the Khan of the Khazar Khanate.
It all depends on your performance.
Just as you said, You need to sell yourself for a good price, and we also need to get equivalent returns. , otherwise this is a bad deal for us.
In the words of our king, we hope this is a win-win situation.
You get what you need, and we get what we need.
It’s that simple.
My words Let’s make it very clear, this is our sincerity.”
Blun sighed: "God testifies, Master Dugu, you are the first person I have ever seen who can talk about this dirty deal so sincerely.
This does not make me feel shameful, but it is natural.
Your words and attitude are very sincere.
You touched me.
We reached this deal.
But I only have a thousand people now.
If the negotiation fails, I only have a thousand people to launch a surprise attack on Habier.
Can it succeed?
I’m really not sure” Dugujun smiled and said: "General Bu Lan, you have three thousand people."
Bu Lan was stunned and said: "Habil has demoted me from the captain of ten thousand to the captain of thousands.
I can only command a thousand people."
"Although you are only a commander, there are another two thousand people who are your old subordinates.
They have been under your command for many years.
Don't you have any influence on them?
Can't you think of a way to make them obey your command?"
Use your brain more, I believe you will come up with a good solution.
There are too many greedy people in this world.
People can be bribed as long as they are greedy, what do you think?"
After sending Bu Lan away, Dugujun immediately sent someone to find Hong Yi and told him: "Bu Lan has already come to see me."
Hong Yi said happily: "My lord has successfully instigated him to rebel."
Dugujun twirled his beard and said: "It's still too early to say success.
In addition, rather than instigating rebellion, it's better to say it's bribery.
Whether this person can play a role depends on our efforts and his own efforts." performance” Hong Yi nodded and asked: "What about negotiations?"

"Continue, delay as long as you can, and we must not retreat at all in terms of terms.
If the Khazar Khanate can agree to our terms, we may not be able to withdraw our troops.
It will bring us greater benefits than destroying the Khazar Khanate."
"clear" It has been two days since Zhao Ziliang led his escort of 2,000 cavalry down to the southwest.
In these two days, the army quickly marched a distance of 600 miles, and the distance traveled was more than 100 miles longer than Zhao Ziliang expected. .
Early that morning, the army came to a hilly area covered with shrubs, thorns, and weeds.
Two days of non-stop fast marching made the soldiers a little tired, but there was no problem in continuing the march.
Anyway, they were on horseback.
War horses are much more tired than people when resting, eating, drinking, and defecation.
Even the Mobei pony, which has extremely strong endurance, is a little overwhelmed.
Seeing this hilly area, Zhao Ziliang immediately shouted: "Duan Xiushi, ordered the soldiers to enter this hilly area to rest for a day, and then set off again at dusk.
We try to avoid the Khazarian herdsmen who may appear during the day."
"promise" In order not to reveal their whereabouts, they could not make any noise, and tried to make as little noise as possible.
They did not even use the horns usually used to convey orders, and did not use the messengers to ride to the various ministries and shout loudly.
They directly raised the order flag and signaled the military order.
The officers and soldiers of each department saw it.
After the semaphore, they entered the hilly areas under the leadership of the generals, fed the horses with beans, and then tied the reins to small trees to let them graze on their own.
Necessary vigilance was indispensable.
Zhao Ziliang personally led the guards to carry out the vigilance task.
At this time, his approach made the soldiers feel at ease and fell asleep quickly.
Zhao Ziliang and Nuer took turns, and each of them rested for two hours.
At dusk, Zhao Ziliang woke up, and immediately sent someone to wake everyone up, informing everyone to meet their physiological needs within a quarter of an hour and get on their horses.
After resting for a whole day, the Western Qin army was full of energy again.
The horses also recovered their strength after resting and eating during the day, and the subsequent march speed was faster than before.
The next day, at about four o'clock in the morning, a fast horse galloped in front of the marching army.
The knight reported to Xuan Shiba, who immediately reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, we are here ten miles ahead.
On the other side of the river, on the other side of the river is It is a huge settlement with tents on the outside and stone houses inside.
The brothers of the Huya Army crossed the river and found out clearly.
This is Atil.
Based on the size of the camp by the river where he lived, there should be three thousand Khazars here. cavalry" Zhao Ziliang asked: "Have you found out where the ordnance supplies that the Eastern Roman Empire supported for the Khazar Khanate are stored?"
"Brothers from the Huya Army are investigating, and the general has told them to report as soon as there is any news."
"Okay."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and waved to the messenger: "Continue marching."
After the fire flags were blown out, the army continued to march without anyone making a sound.
Even the war horses didn't neigh much at this time.
The army quickly arrived at the river.
There is a reason why the Khazars chose this place as a winter hunting place.
The river banks here are low, the river bed is flat, the river is not too wide, the water flow is gentle, and it is easy to freeze in winter.
In summer, the water here is only as deep as a horse, and you can cross the river on a war horse.
Although the river water has risen a bit, it is not enough to submerge the horse's back.
Zhao Ziliang stopped his horse and looked at the dark Atil on the other side of the river.
At this time, a knight rode across the river.
Xuan Shiba immediately jumped off the horse and walked over.
After receiving the report, he quickly returned and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, Everything about Atil has been explored clearly.
This is the plane sketch of Atil drawn by the brothers responsible for the investigation."

Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse and took the sketch and spread it on his horse.
The guard next to him held a torch and illuminated the map.
Zhao Ziliang quickly read the map by the light of the torch, then put away the map and told Xuan Shiba: " Send an order to the officers and soldiers of the Huya Army, asking them to cooperate with us in setting fire to the Khazar camp, but not to burn the weapons and food, we need these things."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Cross the river" Facing the upcoming battle, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army swept away their previous fatigue and immediately became energetic.
They all silently followed the team officers, brigade commanders, school lieutenants and generals to cross the river.
It took an hour to cross the river, and it was already the darkest hour before dawn.
When Zhao Ziliang appeared at the Khazar army camp by the Atir River with two thousand cavalry, not only the Khazar herdsmen in Atir Not knowing anything, even the Khazar soldiers in the Khazar army camp were fast asleep.
Zhao Ziliang explained the final matters before the attack to Duan Xiushi and the generals of each department: "First, there are soldiers from our Huya Army in the camp to provide internal response.
Don't accidentally hurt them.
Second, attack the camp first, and then attack the residential areas.
Do you understand?"
"clear" "attack" As Zhao Ziliang shouted loudly, he took the lead and rushed towards the camp with his horse in hand.
Duan Xiushi, Nuer and others rushed out in a charging formation with their own soldiers and two thousand cavalry behind them.
The sound of a large number of horse hoofs spread quickly, and the Khazars in the camp had some reactions.
However, this was the sleepiest time of the day, and many people were still confused.
Zhao Ziliang had already used his horse to fly to block the people.
Juma, who was at the gate of the camp, rushed in with two thousand men and horses.
"Use the team as a unit, disperse and surround and kill."
Zhao Ziliang waved his horse and shouted an order.
The Western Qin armies were divided into countless small groups, and they surrounded and killed the tents in the camp.
Some people were shot to death as soon as they rushed out of the camp.
Some tents were overturned without anyone running out, and all the tents in the tent were overturned.
The people were pressed underneath, the war horses ran over, and the people pressed under the tent were trampled into meat pies.
The Huya Army soldiers who sneaked into the camp had already started to set fire.
The stables were set on fire.
The Khazar horses were frightened and ran out of the camp.
Many tents were also set on fire.
The Khazars who could not run out in time were burned all over.
He rushed out screaming and soon fell to the ground without making a sound.
This was a massacre without resistance.
This kind of scene was not unfamiliar to Zhao Ziliang and others.
Most of the scenes of successful raids were like this, so there was nothing surprising.
In just half an hour, the three thousand Khazar army was wiped out.
Except for the batch of ordnance supplies and food, everything else was burned to ashes.
"Duan Xiushi, you take people to fight Atil, you have one hour."
After finishing the three thousand Khazar army, Zhao Ziliang ordered Duan Xiushi.
"Yes, Your Majesty" At around ten o'clock in the morning, a raging fire broke out in Atil, with smoke rising into the sky.
Atil, an important material transfer station in the Khazar Khanate where more than 3,000 people live, was burned to a white ground.
No one could escape.
Going out, in order to block the news, Zhao Ziliang had to do this, even though he was reluctant
