While Zhang Huchen and Balalez were fighting, Liang Zhenwu rode up to Zhao Ziliang and asked in a low voice: "Master, I have always had a question.
I don't know whether I should ask it."
Zhao Ziliang did not move his eyes, still staring at the battle between the two people, and said: "Ask me."
Liang Zhenwu thought for a while and asked: "With the master's ability, killing Krum is like crushing an ant.
Even Zhang Huchen and I, as long as the master gives the order, it is not difficult to kill Krum." , I don’t know why the young master didn’t do this.
I can see that this man doesn’t have a good impression of us in the Western Qin Dynasty.
Sooner or later he will become our enemy.
And with his talents, as long as he unifies the Bulgar Khanate, he will have no influence on our future westward expansion.
There are huge obstacles.”
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "There are not many people in this world who are qualified to be my enemies.
Really counting, Irina, Constantine VI, Charman and this Krum can only be regarded as juniors.
If it weren't for the fact that our Western Qin country was founded too short and has insufficient foundation, and launching a large-scale war in a short period of time will damage its foundation, do you think the Eastern Roman Empire can still last as long as it does now?
Now there are successive emperors who have laid a solid foundation.
Irina and Constantine are just the legacy of their ancestors.
On the other hand, if Krum unified the Bulgar Khanate, he would also It can form a strong restraint on the Eastern Roman Empire.
Although he is also hostile to us, his enemy is the Eastern Roman Empire first, and we in the Western Qin cannot be ranked as his second enemy."
Balalez turned the horse's head and saw the black hair falling from the sky.
He was confused and suddenly thought of something.
He reached out and touched his helmet.
His face immediately became extremely ugly and he shouted: "Kill" "Huh, I'm afraid of you."
Zhang Huchen also patted his horse to greet him again.
"Dang, dang, dang," a series of sounds of weapons clashing spread, and along with circles of invisible energy shock waves spreading to all directions, the surrounding Bulgar cavalry retreated one after another.
"Law" followed two horses' neighing sounds.
The horses on both sides could not bear their powerful strength and fell to their knees.
The two had to abandon their horses and continue fighting on the ground.
Standing on the ground, the advantage of the length of the iron spear was no longer there, but it was somewhat difficult to use.
Zhang Huchen immediately discarded the iron spear, pulled out the warrior's sword from his waist and continued to fight with Balalez.
Zhang Huchen's skill itself is much higher than that of Balalez, and the warrior's sword in his hand is one of the most sophisticated combat weapons in the Western Qin Dynasty.
Its sharpness and toughness are not as sharp as the scimitar in Balalez's hand.
Incredibly, after only a dozen rounds of fighting, Balalez's scimitar could not withstand the fierce confrontation and was cut off.
Just when Balalez's scimitar was cut off, he was stunned.
Zhang Huchen seized the opportunity and put his foot in his abdomen, and followed him a few steps to catch up.
As soon as he landed, the sword was placed on his neck. department.
"Sir," the Bulgar cavalry shouted in silence, showing signs of rushing to rescue them.
"Stay back, or I will make their heads fall to the ground."
Zhang Huchen pointed at the charging Bulgar cavalry and shouted.
The Bulgar cavalry stopped, and Zhang Huchen put a knife on Balalec's neck, signaling him to stand up, "Get up, now you have two choices: First, desperately order your men to rush over and besiege him.
Us, and then I kill you, your men may not be able to keep us, and not only will you die, but you will also have a reputation for not keeping your promises after your death; secondly, you keep your promise and let us go, so you You won’t die, but you may be punished by your master.
It’s your choice.”
Balalez was very unwilling, but he had to accept the reality.
The person in front of him was already very powerful.
With the addition of Liang Zhenwu and Du Bosare, the strength of these three people was probably not as strong as that of a thousand people.
Those who stayed, and without his command, these thousand cavalry would not be able to exert their original combat effectiveness.
"You win, you can leave, but you can't take Dubosare away.
I want to take him back."

Balalez could only settle for the next best thing.
Zhang Huchen smiled, showing his white teeth: "Do you think this is possible?
My master is even willing to fall out with Krum for him.
Do you think he will agree to you?
Give the order and let your people get out of the way, otherwise don't Blame me for being rude” Balalec's eyes almost burst out of fire as he stared at Zhang Huchen.
He gritted his teeth and made a choice.
He raised his hands and shouted: "Make a way for them to go."
The Bulgar cavalry made way for a passage with angry expressions and eyes.
Zhao Ziliang smiled, raised his whip and waved forward: "Let's go."
"Two people come and tie up Mr.
Balalci."
Zhang Huchen held a knife to restrain him with one hand and waved his hand behind him.
Two guards rushed over on horseback and quickly tied Mr.
Balalci up.
Bulgar The cavalrymen threw rat weapons and did not dare to take any drastic action, but the eyes they looked at Zhao Ziliang and others were even more filled with hatred.
"Let's go, Mr.
Balalez, please give us a ride.
Once we pass the territory controlled by you Bulgars, we will naturally let you go.
But if your people do anything drastic during this period, Then I can't guarantee your safety."
Zhang Huchen said, grabbing Balalez, throwing him on the back of a horse, and hurried away while being led by a guard.
"Two adults, what should we do now?
Can we just watch them take away Lord Balalez?"
A centurion looked at the two five centurions and asked.
One of the five centurions said coldly: "Why do you want to kill Mr.
Balalez?
Immediately send someone back to Plisca to report to Chief Krum.
The others will follow me, as long as they dare to attack Mr.
Balaltz."
If Mr.
Larez is not in a good position, we will rush over and chop them into pieces."
"Yes, that's right" For many days after that, Zhao Ziliang and others did not encounter another attack from the Bulgar cavalry.
Only Balalec's men, a thousand cavalry, were still hanging tightly behind.
The hostility from other tribes was eliminated by Balalec's men.
Soldiers and horses came forward to solve and contain it.
The Prahova Valley is the junction of the eastern and southern Carpathian Mountains and the most important passage into the Transylvanian Plateau.
Grayling was riding next to Zhao Ziliang on horseback, pointing to the river valley in front of him and saying: "After passing this river valley, it will be the territory of our Avars.
We no longer have to worry about being chased by the Bulgars."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How far is your tribal camp from here?"
"It's about five days' journey," Grayling said.
After passing through the Prahova Valley, Zhao Ziliang stopped and waved.
A guard led the horse carrying Balalec and walked over.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Baralec, thank you for escorting us these days.
Keep your word and let you go.
However, please tell Krum when you go back. , I don’t want to be an enemy of him, I just want to visit the Frankish Kingdom.
If he still intends to continue doing business with me, he can send someone to Kerch and report Tramci’s name to any trading house.

Naturally, someone will contact him to discuss trade matters and let him go."
Zhao Ziliang and others left.
Baralez, who had been loosened, moved his body and twisted his wrists that were so painful that they were tied up.
At this time, the subordinates who were hanging behind caught up with him, and a five-centurion captain ran to him on horseback.
He jumped off his horse and asked, "Sir, are you okay?
Do you want me to lead someone to hunt them down?"
Balalez shook his head and said: "No, I will personally make it clear to the leader about our return.
Let's go."
"Yes, my lord" The Transvasinian Plateau is an undulating terrain with an altitude of basically between 300,800 meters.
The terrain slopes from east to west, alternating with rounded hills and wide valleys, most of which belong to the Mures and Somesh river basins.
There is a large Avar camp called Napoca on the edge of the Somesh River.
Grayling's tribe lives on the Transylvanian Plateau, and its capital is in Napoca.
The size of the Transylvanian Plateau is not inferior to other territories ruled by King Avar Khan.
Grayling's tribe has strong military strength and fierce folk customs.
Even the Khan's native villages are extremely afraid of their strength.
When Grayling's father, Zordon, heard the news of her return, he immediately rode thirty miles from Napoca with a personal escort to welcome his daughter back.
The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.
After crying, Grayling introduced Zhao Ziliang and his caravan to Zordon and introduced the process after she accidentally entered the territory of the Bulgars while hunting and was kidnapped.
Zordon is a middle-aged man in his forties.
He is extremely grateful to Zhao Ziliang, "Guest from the East, I, Zordon, on behalf of all my tribe, would like to express my gratitude to you for helping my daughter Graylin.
We Avars worship warriors.
In my opinion, you are a warrior, and I have ordered a grand bonfire party to be prepared for your arrival, please" Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you very much, Chief Zordon, for your generosity and enthusiasm.
I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
On the way to Napoca, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Chief Zordon, your ancestors have always lived on this land."
Zordon smiled and said: "Of course not.
Our nomadic tribe originally had no fixed residence.
Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors, the Rouran people, still lived on the grasslands of Mobei in the east.
According to the legends passed down from generation to generation, our entire tribe at that time The tribes are all overlords on the Mobei grassland in the east, but a slave tribe called the Turks suddenly rebelled while we were fighting the enemy and defeated us from behind.
They were slaves who forged weapons for us at that time, so they had strong armed forces.
Our ancestors were careless, and then our entire tribe was divided into two.
One part went south and became vassals of the powerful country in the south, and the other part began to move west.
Later, Our ancestors mixed and mixed with many tribes that migrated to China, and finally merged with the descendants of the Huns to become the current Avars."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "It's been hundreds of years, why do you know these things so well?"
Zordon said seriously: "Because I am a direct descendant of the Rouran people.
My ancestors and I have never intermarryed with foreign races.
I am the Rouran people with the purest blood.
The legends of my clan have been passed down from generation to generation.
Most of the Khan Tutuns are now They are all of Huns descent, and the Rouran bloodline is already very thin.
Among the entire Avars, most of them have the bloodline of the Huns, Gepids and Ostrogoths
