Since the defeat in the Battle of Telmi, Suleiman on the one hand sent troops from all over the country, on the one hand, asked the Khorezm country to send troops to jointly resist the enemy, and on the other hand, Suleiman sent Witson to the Great Xia Kingdom, in fact, this time Witson came to the Great Xia Kingdom not to sign any peace agreement, but to ask for help from the Great Xia Kingdom.

A day later, Wittson rushed from Yumen Pass to Suzhou, in the temporary residence of Li Liangzuo of Suzhou Assassin Mansion, Wittson saw Li Liangzuo, and there was no surprise that Li Liangzuo appeared in Suzhou, when he got the news that Li Liangzuo was in Suzhou, Witterson was more not surprised, but shocked; Whitson remembered some of the things Suleiman had told him before he came.

After Suleiman's defeat and retreat to the Iron Gate, Suleiman left and called Wittson to him and said, "Aiqing! Now my Black Khan Dynasty is on the verge of life and death, although Ben Khan has transferred troops from all over the country, but our soldiers and horses are simply not enough to fight against the Seljuk army, and now I can save my Black Khan Dynasty, and only the Xia army can save this king. ”

"Xia Jun?" Whitson said in shock; "Great Khan, the Great Xia Kingdom is our enemy, and now that we have been defeated, it is too late for them to be happy, how can they send reinforcements to us?"

Suleiman smiled and said to Witson: "Although Ben Khan has not met with the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, but he has also heard of some deeds of the Xia Emperor, from the Xia Emperor's behavior, Ben Khan can see that this person is an extremely ambitious person, Li Liangzuo made a fanatical warmonger, under his leadership the Great Xia Kingdom is walking on a road of continuous external expansion, under Li Liangzuo's Datong reform, all the people of the Great Xia Kingdom from top to bottom have a great desire for land;

Now our Black Khan Dynasty is a piece of fat that is about to reach their mouths in their eyes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter for the Great Xia Kingdom, Li Liangzuo will definitely use this opportunity to see his claws stretched to the Western Regions, the Western Regions is an important position on the Silk Road to the West, Li Liangzuo will never allow the Western Regions to fall into the hands of a stronger enemy than us, if Ben Khan is right now, the advance troops of the Xia army have already been prepared, and they are waiting for an opportunity! Therefore, this time, you go to the Great Xia Kingdom to ask for help from the Xia Emperor, and you don't need to go to Xingqing Mansion at all......"

"Wechen understands, Wechen will set off......"

After seeing Li Liangzuo, Witteson saluted Li Liangzuo very respectfully and said: "The envoy of the Black Khan Dynasty, Witterson has visited His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, long live, long live, long live the Emperor......

"Excuse me, please take a seat!" Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "I don't know what the envoy is doing when he comes to my Great Xia Kingdom?"

Wittson said bluntly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, my Khan specially ordered the foreign ministers to ask His Majesty for help, the Seljuk Empire suddenly launched a fierce attack on our dynasty, although the Great Khan led the army to resist desperately, but our army was still defeated by the Seljuk army, so the special foreign ministers asked His Majesty the Emperor for help." ”

After Whitson finished speaking, he took out a letter of state from his arms, and Xiao Zhuozi sent the letter of state to Li Liangzuo, who opened the letter of state and asked Witson while reading it: "Ran's soldiers work hard for your Black Khan Dynasty, I'm afraid there is no such cheap thing in this world!" I've always been straightforward and quick to speak, but it's okay for me to send troops to rescue the Black Khan Dynasty, so I have to give me some benefits! ”

Wittson didn't expect Li Liangzuo to speak so directly, since Li Liangzuo had said everything to this point, Wittson could only say: "Before coming, the Great Khan once said that as long as His Majesty sends troops to rescue, my Khan is willing to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor, and from now on, the Black Khan Dynasty will be the vassal state of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it will be the Western Regions of the Great Xia Kingdom." ”

"This attitude is still good, but is Suleiman's brain in water, just by his words of bowing down to the ministers, I will lead my brothers to fight to protect the country and defend him against the enemy, is he stupid or I stupid......"

For Li Liangzuo's naked insult, Witterson was very angry in his heart, but now that the Black Khan Dynasty has a request for the Great Xia Kingdom, for Li Liangzuo's humiliation Witteson can only swallow it in his stomach, Wittson smiled and said: "Respected Emperor Xia, in addition to paying tribute every year, my Khan is also willing to cede the land between Qiuzi and Uchi to the Great Xia Kingdom, as a reward for the Great Xia Kingdom's troops. ”

"Qiuzi to Uchichi was originally the territory of the Xizhou Uighurs, and now the Xizhou Uighurs have been incorporated into my Great Xia Kingdom, where is the territory of my Great Xia Kingdom, the so-called ceding is incorrect, it should be said to be a return, how can the returned territory be regarded as a return for my troops?"

"What does His Majesty the Emperor mean?"

"It's okay for me to send troops, but Suleiman's vassals are far from enough, my demand is that the Black Khans must cede Khotan and its dependent areas, and the Black Khans need to pay me one million gold coins every year, as long as the Black Khans can meet my demands, I can send troops to rescue."

Li Liangzuo's conditions really shocked Whitson, just the annual contribution of one million gold coins accounted for almost half of the taxes of the Black Khan Dynasty, not to mention the cession of Khotan, an important strategic military location, Khotan from the Tang Dynasty is the main part of the four towns of Anxi, Khotan is located in the east of the Green Ridge (Pamir Plateau), north of the Kunlun Mountains, this area is rich in water and grass, and is a transit center of the South Silk Road, the Hu merchants of the Western Regions set off from here, crossed the Pamir Plateau into Central Asia, Vast area of Western Asia.

Although Li Liangzuo's request was beyond Witson's expectations, Witson remembered what Suleiman had told him before he came; "As long as Emperor Xia is willing to send troops, cut land, and pay compensation, no matter what conditions he offers, he must be able to agree to him, this is just a plan for us to drive away the wolf, as long as the Xia army Gen Seljuk army is handed over, it is bound to be a situation of endless death, and when they lose both, we can profit from it......"

Witson hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I can promise Emperor Xia on behalf of the Great Khan on this matter." ”

Soon an agreement was drawn up, the content of which was simple: the Black Khans were to pay tribute to the Bactrian kingdom and to pay one million gold coins per year, and the Xia army promised to advance westward to help the Black Khans resist the attacks of the Seljuk army.

After Witterson left, Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, will there be any deception in this Witterson agreeing to our request so quickly?" ”

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Of course there is fraud; It is nothing more than to let me and the Seljuk army fight to make a profit after losing both, or to attack Seljuk in the south, or to attack our Great Xia Kingdom in the east; This little skill of carving insects can't hide from my eyes. ”

"Then why did Your Majesty agree to Witson's request to send troops to rescue, so that the two of them can't fight." Xiao Zhuozi said puzzled.

Li Liangzuo said meaningfully: "If I don't agree to Suleiman's request, Suleiman will turn around and surrender, and maybe lead the Seljuk army eastward to attack my Great Xia Kingdom, I want to stabilize them now, this time I have to let them lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot." ”

Thanks to the three recommendations of Yu Yan and Lu Mozhu, Tianyu is grateful......
