Wu Yingying nodded, seeing that he seemed to be a little too nervous and solemn, he smiled and said: "This is not an ordinary envoy, but to go to the vertical and horizontal, the so-called general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, as long as it is beneficial to my country and my people, you can use it as you can." When you arrive at the border of Khotan, you will understand that those Turkic robbers under the guise of faith are actually no different from beasts. His face turned pale, "If they must fight, we will fight with him, and the iron hooves of my Great Xia may as well be a whip of divine punishment." He made up his mind that if the scale of the war between Huaxia and the Black Khanate and Gaochang was expanded to a prolonged war with the entire Great Food System, then he would not hesitate to arm the tribes under the rule of Xingu and Yu Furen Rail and carry out a westward expedition in the form of nomadic migration.

Because the Uighurs of Gaochang were still entrenched in the northern Silk Road, and the southern Khotanese was an ally of the Xia state, Zhang Zhongyao's route chose to leave Yangguan, follow the river west through Shanshan, pass through Khotan, and cross the green mountains west of Yache to reach the Khorasan region, which was the homeland of the Samanid dynasty that was hostile to the Black Khanate, but now ruled by the Emir Mahmud of the Ghaznavid dynasty, who was actively contacting the Black Khan kingdom to attack the old suzerain, the Samanid king Abdul Malik II.

"The ambition of Emir Mahmud lies in the Hanzhong region and the complete destruction of the old lord, just as some feudal towns in the previous dynasty dreamed of occupying Chang'an," Wu Yingying said to Zhang Zhongyao slowly, "If possible, you can contact him, and in the future, our country will defeat the Uighurs of Gaochang and the Black Khanate, and take up their lands, and we can send troops to attack the Samanid Dynasty with him, and we want Samarkand, and the capital of the Samanid Dynasty, Bukhara, can give him." Zhang Zhongyao carefully wrote down that since handing over the responsibility of the envoy to him, Wu Yingying summoned Zhang Zhongyao many times, pointed out to him the intricate relationship between the Western Great Food princes, and clearly told him that the main interest of the Xia State in the West was to obtain a consolidated bridgehead centered on Samarkand and maintain the balance of power in Central Asia。

Kangqu Dagan had repeatedly told Wu Yingying that as long as Wu Yingying was willing to help the Sogdians revive the Kangju State, they were willing to be completely loyal to Bactria and that the Sogdians had already laid many internal arrangements in the Karakhanate and the Samanid Dynasty, and they could help the Xia army at that time. To be able to establish suzerainty and even territorial sovereignty in the Transoxiana region in one fell swoop, such an opportunity is only twenty or thirty years.

"After passing through the Khorasan region, and further west is the area ruled by the king of the Baiyi Dynasty, Adulyd Dawlai, the status of this dynasty is equivalent to the Xuanwu town of Zhuwen in the late Tang Dynasty," Zhang Zhongyao nodded, and Wu Yingying understood when he said this, "The caliph al-Ta'il in Baghdad is just a puppet of Aduaid Dawlai." The Caliph was to issue a fatwa mainly to obtain the approval of Adulyadej Dawlai, who was a male lord and had to be careful in dealing with him, whose court was in Shiraz. Our country is far away from Baghdad, and there is no major conflict of interest, but Khorasan and the Great Eclipse of the Transoxian, and even the Black Khanate are all threats to him within the Great Eclipse system. Our entry into the Transoconda can help him contain the great eclipse princes of the East, and we can also share the benefits of trade with him. ”

After Zhang Zhongyao wrote it down, Wu Yingying said: "The hometown of Daqin further west has a country named Byzantine Empire, and it is a feud with the Great Food Kingdoms. If he wants us to fight with him to fight the great food kingdoms, let us do it with him, Byzantium has a great influence on the trade routes to the west, and in order to persuade Emperor Basil II to protect our merchants, it is best to win him to tolerate our establishment of an autonomous port castle on the eastern shore of the Black Sea as a distribution center for goods. Further west, our caravans can't go that far, and those barbarian kingdoms are not yet civilized, so there is no need to deal with them at the moment. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Let Cai Lang bring back a book called the Code of Justinian." Zhang Zhongyao replied in a deep voice.

Wu Yingzhuang's way: "In the past, Zhang Qian sent an envoy, indomitable, and finally hollowed out the Western Regions, and then successive generations of people with lofty ideals went forward and succeeded, so as to open up thousands of miles of territory for China. Xiao Jiu and Chase originally didn't think much of this envoy, and Chase was even secretly pleased, but today I heard Wu Yingying's explanation in such detail, and analyzed the situation of the Western countries in detail, it is obvious that this errand is not a simple mission, but a moment when the forces of the Xia Kingdom want to eat the princes of the empire. Once successful, it will surely be a feat that will go down in history.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhongyao led a delegation from the western suburbs of Dunhuang, plus a caravan that volunteered to accompany him, totaling more than 2,000 people. Wu Yingying personally sent to Yangguan, a huge delegation and accompanying caravan, under the guidance of the guide, crossed the Lop Nur, which was then a piece of water, crossed the desert, the Gobi, and came to the border of Khotan. At this time, the king of Khotan was a generation of male lords, the grandson of the Han name Cai Shengtian's Yuchi Wu Shengbo, called Yuchi Dama. The Khotanese royal family Wei Chi is sinicized for a long time, the country has preserved since the Han Dynasty the Central Plains court canonized documents, especially admiration for Chinese culture, with Chinese etiquette to educate the people, both the benefits of agriculture and animal husbandry, and encourage farming and weaving, the country is rich in jade, the folk especially believe in Buddhism, in the Black Khanate pretended to invade the east in the name of the first religion, Khotan is like a paradise, Khotan King Cai Shengtian called himself the Western Regions "Little China".

About fifteen years ago, the Black Khanate occupying Shule pretended to believe in Buddhism in Khotan, and launched a war on the grounds that it did not conform to the beliefs, slaughtered monks all the way, destroyed Buddhist temples, and devastated the lives of people. Khotan almost independently resisted the invasion of the Turks from the entire world, who wanted to plunder the wealth in the East, and the ambitious Black Khanate. The Black Khanate continued to recruit warriors from among the fanatics of various countries, replenishing its forces again and again, and with the help of the Uighurs of Gaochang, Khotan was under great pressure.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Chi Damo ignored Wu Yingying's annexation of the Guiyi army Cao clan who had an in-law relationship with the Khotanese royal family, but instead held a grand welcome dinner for Zhang Zhongyao's mission, all the princes and nobles attended, the banquet was full of all kinds of meat, beef and sheep cheese, preserved fruit and candied fruit, various foods cooked with japonica rice and corn, and the grand royal band played various musical instruments such as pipa, flute, vertical gonghou, basket, and drum, and danced with the music. Characters like Cai Lang are also a little dizzy.

"The Black Khanate and the Uighurs of Gaochang have been troubled by China for a long time, and the Black Khanate is actually a country established by the Qarluq tribes in the former Tang Dynasty, and has long been in collusion with the Great Cannibals. Nowadays, under the guise of a cult, they have invaded our country, burned, killed and looted everywhere, smashed Buddha statues, and burned classics. Yu Chi Damo gulped down the wine in the cup and continued: "His Majesty the King of Xia sent General Zhang to the Great Food Kingdom to warn the caliph not to interfere in our war with the Black Khan and Gaochang, and he is really a hero today! His eyes flickered a little, but he still had to show Zhang Zhongyao his intention to attach himself to Xia Guo.
