When Gawain set out on his journey, he sent another letter to the Holy Sister of the inner city of Meriten:

"Dear Kabeamia, long time no see. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Pauline sent secret lay people Stephen. Gawain greets you in the name of the true God.

Now that I am leading a large army through the lofty mountains of Georgia, I cannot help but feel more and more fear and suffering, and when I see the white snow of the Black Mountains here, I miss you even more. It is also hard work for you to run a synagogue and a wool weaving business in the land of Melitane, but in any case you should go to Tbilisi and discuss important matters. ”

When Gawain had delivered the letter, in a wide valley northeast of Tbilisi, he was approaching the border at Geblay Fort, from which the envoys of the kingdom of Sylvan Pasha had come to ask for an audience.

The kingdom of Hilvanpasha and the kingdom of Hilvan, now under Gawain's wing, are not the same nation.

The kingdom of Sylvan was a Kurdish emirate known as the "Rawadi dynasty" (the chief chief was Ahmadi. Root. Ibrahim. Root. Waha Sultan. Rawaddi. The main ruling area of Kuadi is actually "South Hilvan", and the core castles are the famous Taulis (Tabriz) and Margai;

The Hilvan Pasha State occupies the "North Silvan", the core castles are Ganj, Geblay, Baku, and of course, there is also the Tiemenguan fortress further north, which is a highly Persian Pasha (i.e. Shah) emirate, after the Seljuk Turks invaded here, the sixteenth Pasha Falibuz used clever diplomatic means to mediate and survive among the various powers, and he even sent a slave soldier cronies sent by Malikshah Khan to take over, but Falibuz died eight years ago, And his successor, who is now Sylvan Pasha, is called Manuchisol, a weak and mediocre man who hides in the palace of Baku all day long.

So when Gawain's army arrived at the border, this Manuchisol. The only thing Pasha could do was to send a messenger and ask Gawain to ask:

We are willing to pay you 60,000 gold dinars (his father Falibuz paid 40,000 gold to the Isfahan court so that they would not send Turkic mercenaries to attack him), and ceded the castle of Shakkur on the border, and we are willing to bow down to you.

Gawain received the envoy and asked a few questions, and seeing that Manuchisol was incompetent, he quietly accepted the peace proposal, and asked Sylvan Pasha to provide a thousand servants to support his subsequent military activities.

"In a few years, after Diognis and his brigade have gained a foothold in Tbilisi, he will be able to destroy the weak Pasha nation in five years at most, and hold the vital Iron Gate Pass corridor in his hands. We'll have to hurry, and it's going to be tricky to have a mid-level ruler replace this Manuchisol. Then, Gawain secretly said this to the sleeping officer and the confidential officer.

In mid-September, after making peace with Sylvan Pashamanuchisol, Gawain assembled all his troops in Tbilisi, including the Ferromeron Brigade and Bellerophon's Brigade, which had just conquered Trabzon.

Gawain then formally ordered that the brigade of Bellerophon be stationed in the castles of Tbilisi and Shakur, and granted Diognis a new troop book, "which allows you to enlarge your brigade to six thousand to eight thousand, and to keep three detachments at all times to accompany me on my expeditions." ”

As for the entire territory of Northern Greater Armenia that had just been conquered, Gawain was entrusted with the garrison of the Yefandouni brigade.

In the Trabzon region, Gawain granted the local chamber of commerce a certain amount of autonomy and sent a letter to the city of Tarsus, asking Anna to quickly send members of the New Church and the Brocade Brotherhood to take over the place as soon as possible.

With everything in order, Gawain took command of the Red Hand Brigade, the Guardian Brigade, the Gemmageis Brigade, the Philomeeron Brigade, and all the auxiliary cavalry, artillery, and engineering teams, and left the land of Georgia, and went south through the Selvan Black Lake, and followed the ancient trade routes, and arrived at the capital of the vassal prince Ahmadi, the famous trading city of Taulis.

Fearful, Ahmadi not only provided camps, pastures, and supplies to Gawain's army, but also an army of servants, and Gawain generously gifted Ahmadi 60,000 gold coins from the previous diplomatic peace talks as a reward for his efforts in supplying the army.

When the Tarsus army arrived at Taulis in the fall, the whole of Khorasan was in Great Khorasan. The Persian region was in turmoil, especially the Isfahan court, which was in the midst of civil strife.

After the death of the Seljuk Sultan Sanjad at the hands of the Assasin Assassins, the vacated throne became a coveted rival by warlords.

Ahmad. Sanjad was actually the third son of Malikshah Khan.

Maliksha Khan, who had established the pinnacle of the Seljuk Empire, had six sons, namely the eldest son Bachiyanuk and the second son Muhammad. Tabo, the third son, Amad. Sanjad, the fourth son Daoud, the fifth son Mahmud, and the sixth son Ahmad.

But only the last three sons, who were considered to be the wife of Maliksha Khan, the fourth and sixth of whom died when they were still young.

Thus, after the death of Malikshah Khan the year before Gawain (i.e., 1092), the first to succeed the Great Sultan was his fifth son, Mahmud (who was only four years old at the time of his reign and was regent of his mother, the Sultan's Khotun), but he ruled for only two years before dying suddenly (his mother also died two months after his death) - and the Great Seljuk Empire fell apart. The battle for the throne of the Great Sultan was fought between the three remaining sons and younger brothers of Malikshah Khan.

The eldest son, Bachiyanuk, was sealed in Borujelder (present-day western Iranian city).

The second son, Muhammad. Tabo was sealed in Baghdad (mainly monitoring the caliphate, and the caliph was going to rebel or something).

As for the third son, Sanjad, he was sealed in Mov, and later took control of the court of Isfahan and became the new Great Sultan.

Malikshah Khan also had a younger brother named Tutosh, who originally ruled Syria and Damascus, and killed Suleiman (the first sultan of Roma, known as Giliki. Arslan's father), who also claimed the throne of the Great Sultan after his brother's death, was defeated and killed by Bachiyanuk, leaving two sons after his death: Ridwan of Aleppo. Tutoshi and Dukaq in Damascus. Tutush, and now the brothers also claim to be sultans.

And Suleiman, the founder of the Sultan of Rûm, was born in the Kutumish family, and was considered a cousin of Maliksha Khan, and later became incompatible.

Not to mention the Ataberg, Pasha, and Emirs who were divided all over the country, the Sultanate of Rûm, and Merrick of Danishmond and Agi of Antioch. Kobha in Siyan and Mosul are also relatively large hills.

Sanjad had recently died inexplicably at the hands of the Assasin Assassins (all of whom had daughters and no heirs), and it was more likely that he had been secretly instigated by his rivals, in addition to his long-standing hatred for the Ismailis in Persia.

This is the general idea of the Seljuk royal family's bad debts.
