Huazimo Abahan immediately dispatched all his 12,000 cavalry troops to the southern border near the Kopet Mountains to confront the 20,000 cavalrymen from Branod, the great food country.
Within two days, Xuan San He led the Eighth Army Corps and rushed over.
In this way, with the strength of the troops In comparison, Branod was at a disadvantage.
Not to be outdone, Branod immediately mobilized troops from Mulu City and Mashhad.
Soon another 30,000 infantry rushed to the border to fight with Branod.
Together, the strength of the Dashi Army suddenly increased to more than 50,000 people.
But soon, the Great Eaters began to worry.
They discovered that on the southeastern border, the Western Qin Army suddenly arrived with two legions of troops.
Even if all the remaining troops in Khorasan Province were transferred there, it would not be enough to stop the Western Qin Army.
Caliph Mansur's 100,000 Guards Army lost nearly 30,000 people in the process of countering the rebellion. 50,000 were transferred to the north, leaving less than 20,000. 20,000 were used to fight against the two legions of the Western Qin Army.
The big cannibal seems a little lacking in confidence.
Baghdad.
In the Western Qin embassy, Liu Mingjian, the envoy to Baghdad, was reading official documents sent from Western Qin.
A waiter outside the door came in and reported: "Sir, the Caliph has sent someone to see you."
"Oh, please come in."
After Liu Mingjian said that, he quickly put away the official documents and sat down behind the table.
"yes" After a while, a palace attendant came in and saluted Liu Mingjian and said: "Envoy, here you are, our caliph has summoned you to have an audience.
Please be sure to go."
Liu Mingjian asked: "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know what I mean, please forgive me, Your Majesty the Envoy."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and I'll follow you right away.
Please wait a moment."
"OK" Liu Mingjian changed his clothes and followed the waiter to Baghdad quickly.
Although this was not the first time he came to the Caliphate Palace, every time he came here, he could not help but sigh at the luxury here.
The caliphate's palace was covered with 22,000 beautifully woven carpets and 38,000 colorful curtains, of which 1,200 were embroidered with gold.
The queen's table was lined with polished gold and silver vessels and various daily utensils inlaid with precious stones.
There is a Hall of Strange Trees in the palace.
There is a tree made of gold and silver, weighing 8855 kilograms.
There are gold and silver birds "perched" on the branches.
As soon as the mechanism was activated, the birds began to chirp happily.
In the Royal Garden, the carefully cultivated dwarf date palm trees are a unique sight: the tall trees that originally grew to reach the sky have to be made small and exquisite, which can only be achieved with exquisite horticultural techniques.
There were more than 3,000 eunuchs and maids responsible for cleaning the caliph's palace, building flower branches, and taking charge of the caliph's royal life.
Of course, in Liu Mingjian's opinion, although this place is extremely luxurious, it lacks grandeur, solemnity and solemnity.
He once had the honor to go to Chang'an to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Walking into the Daming Palace made people feel small and humble, which was not the case here.
He has also been to the royal palace in Xinjing.
It is not as luxurious as here, but it is grand and majestic.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Liu Mingjian walked into the main hall where Caliph Mansur handled state affairs, bowed his hands to Mansur who was sitting on the throne and saluted: "Liu Mingjian, the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, pays homage to His Majesty the Caliph."
Mansour raised his hand and said: "Master Liu has called you here today without any courtesy.
He wants to ask you.
Do you know that the Western Qin Dynasty sent three legions to our eastern and northeastern borders?"
Liu Ming saw: "Yes, Caliph, I just heard the news.
It is said that your country's General Branod led his troops across the border and entered the territory of Khwarizm without permission.
I don't know why he did this.
But I know that no matter what the reason is, this is an infringement of the sovereignty of our Kingdom of Western Qin, and we, Western Qin, have the right to take any action to deal with this matter."

Mansour said: "General Branod mistakenly entered the territory of Khwarizm because he was chasing a rebel army.
I regret this.
I have sent my order to Branod and severely punished him.
This is just a misunderstanding.
I don’t want this incident to damage the friendly relations between our two countries since the founding of the two countries.
I think our two sides should lift the military confrontation and restore peace and tranquility on the border.
What do you think?”
Liu Mingjian cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty the Caliph, we in the Western Qin Dynasty have never taken the initiative to invade any country.
We have been forced to fight back in every war.
Even when we sent troops to Northern Tianzhu, it was because their lords were disrespectful to our king.
Of course we I don’t want to be with the big food country.
Such a powerful country started a war, but after all, your army entered the territory of Huacizimo, our vassal state of Western Qin, without authorization.
This has constituted an invasion of our Western Qin.
If we want to calm down this matter, someone must be responsible for it, otherwise our king The imperial court cannot explain to the vast number of people."
Mansour frowned.
He thought for a long time and said to Liu Mingjian: "I understand what Mr.
Liu means.
Our country of Dashi hopes to maintain a long-term friendly relationship with the country of Western Qin.
Therefore, this misunderstanding was caused The Guards General Buranod will be relieved of his military power, stripped of his military rank and all titles, and demoted to slaves.
The Guards deployed in Khorasan Province will also be transferred back soon."
Liu Mingjian cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty the Caliph is wise.
Once your Majesty's decree is carried out, I think our army will withdraw from the border."
A smile appeared on Mansour's face, and he said to Liu Mingjian: "Today, a group of Western dancers came to my palace.
Mr.
Liu cannot miss it.
Please stay and enjoy it with me later."
Liu Mingjian also smiled and said: "It is better to meet by chance than to invite.
In this case, the foreign minister has the shame to stay and enjoy the wonderful dance of the Western dancers with His Majesty."
The crisis situation of the tense military confrontation between the Dashi Kingdom and the Western Qin Kingdom came into contact.
Calm was restored on the border.
The protagonist of this incident, Branod, was deprived of his military rank and title and became a slave.
He was taken to Heavy slave work was performed in the port of Alexandria.
Constantine V of the Eastern Roman Empire was greatly disappointed after receiving the news.
If the Great Food Kingdom fought with the Western Qin Kingdom, the drama would be much better.
The Great Food Kingdom would probably fall apart.
Not only would there be internal opposition The power ceded territory and became king, and the Western Qin and Eastern Rome encroached on its land outside.
The powerful Shishi Kingdom may never recover from the fall.
It is a pity that the Western Qin Kingdom did not fight with the Shishi Kingdom.
Constantine V could only maintain the military offensive against the Great Food Kingdom in the northwest, but his pace has slowed down a lot.
After all, he has now penetrated deep into the Great Food Country, and he does not want to be cut off by the Great Food Country. retreat.
Mansour gained a breather by sacrificing Buranod.
He knew that he must use this opportunity to relieve the crisis.
The Guards sent to Khorasan Province were transferred back and 20,000 people were recruited to garrison in Khorasan.
Shan Province and the Histan Province in the southeast, but these 20,000 people were composed of farmers and herdsmen and had little combat effectiveness.
This was also because he did not want to irritate the Western Qin Kingdom.

After the remaining 70,000 Guards were transferred back, 50,000 were immediately sent to the northwest to reinforce the front line.
A large number of Allah warriors shouted jihad and marched to the front line, preparing to give the Eastern Romans some color.
The remaining 20,000 people marched westward, preparing to join the army from Egypt to encircle and suppress the rebel Salad and his troops.
The arrival of the 50,000 Caliphate Guards greatly increased the pressure on Constantine V.
He originally did not want to personally conduct the expedition, but he was already in his forties, and he increasingly felt that his energy was not sufficient.
If he did not conduct the expedition in person this time, he would suffer in the future.
There's no chance again.
In order to deal with the reinforcements of the 50,000 Caliphate Guards and block their early offensive, Constantine V ordered everyone within a radius of more than 100 kilometers to be captured to build fortresses and seize all available food and grass. livestock, timber and iron tools, he decided to He built a solid defense line in the Selsar River Basin to block the counterattack of the Great Food Army.
In fact, he did this in the Anatonian Plains, and the effect was pretty good.
He also did the same in Thrace to resist the Bulgarian attack. , which also made the Bulgarians sigh.
The policies implemented by Salad after he captured a large area of land in Syria allowed him to gain the support of a large number of Syrians.
His sect also gained a large number of believers and followers, which made it easier for him to recruit warriors to form an army.
The Caliphate Mansour's troops transferred from Egypt and the 20,000 Guardsmen met with stubborn resistance.
They did not get the support of the people in Syria.
The logistics supply lines were often attacked and a large amount of supplies were looted.
This brought great trouble to the Caliphate in putting down the Salad Rebellion.
Salad was now very confident.
He had established a foothold in Syria and had 100,000 troops under his command, which made him confident.
He was no longer afraid of the Caliph and his army.
He began to give speeches all over Syria, often going deep into the country.
After contacting villagers in the countryside and gaining their support, Salad's prestige was quickly established and most Syrians knew his name.
"General, 20,000 Guards troops are coming from the direction of Baghdad," Tanma reported to Salad.
Salad said angrily: "Does Mansour think I am easy to bully?
Not only did he send troops from Egypt to attack me, but he also sent the Guards to attack me.
I must let him know that I am a powerful person.
I sent an order to the army to assemble.
First, Defeat 20,000 Guardsmen, and then fight the army from Egypt.”
Salad's loyal friend Maihuallah from Sogdiana persuaded him at this time: "General, how many troops can we mobilize now to deal with the 20,000 Guardsmen coming from Baghdad?"
Salad thought for a moment and said, "There should be fifteen thousand people."
Maihua La said: "General, the Guards are all well-trained troops.
They are just for killing people, and most of your army soldiers are farmers who have just put down their hoes.
One-on-one is simply not enough."
We can't beat the Guards, not to mention that we still have 5,000 fewer troops.
The morale of the officers and soldiers is now strong.
We need to wait until they are tired and their morale is low when they attack the city.
If we come out from their rear, we will definitely defeat them. , but now we’d better recharge our batteries.”
Salad thought for a while and felt that Maihua La's words made sense, and this guy was able to come up with suggestions to help him win every battle, which made him believe in him
