Chapter 657 The Covenant between Xue Donglai and Seljuk
Thinking of this, Sanjar was ecstatic.
Back then, the powerful cavalry of the Abbas Dynasty defeated the army of the Eastern Tang Kingdom in Talas and pushed the glory of the gods to the west of the Palacio.
This is an unprecedented peak.
It was also what countless people dreamed of later.
Sanjar gradually emerged from the trauma of the Battle of Kavante. His originally tired eyes became sharper again, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out.
If it was really like Istari said, he would be the greatest sultan in history.
In the evening, Mustali took his men to prison.
"The messenger from the East."
As soon as Xue Donglai saw Mustali coming, he knew in his heart that there was a turning point in his mind.
Xue Donglai's relationship in Seljuk is Mustali's little lover's sister, named Mufilia.
Xue Donglai spent several years and a lot of money to get this relationship connected with the good things from the Song Dynasty.
It must have been afterwards that Mufilia said something privately and pushed Mustali to take action.
Xue Donglai bowed and said, "His Excellency Governor Mustali."
"You know the messengers from the East, after all, your Emperor killed our people, so Sultan Sanjar would be very angry."
Xue Donglai knew that the other party wanted to give him a warning first. He said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Governor Mustali, I have already said that Ali Ben himself violated the laws of the Song Dynasty and was worthy of death."
"Emunivers from the East, you'd better give Sultan Sanjar an explanation on this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to continue the cooperation between the two sides."
hehe……
Xue Donglai sneered in his heart.
If cooperation is difficult to continue, why do you come here to see me?
"Then may I ask Mr. Mustali, what explanation does Sultan Sanjar want?"
"The Sultan of Sanjar is not an exaggeration, with 50,000 boxes of silk and 100,000 pieces of ceramics."
Xue Donglai hurriedly said, "It's simple. I have a great land and a wealth of resources in the Song Dynasty. This requirement is still OK."
That's a big deal!
What do you think I am the Song Dynasty?
When Mustali saw Xue Donglai agreeing so readily, he knew that he was missing.
He hurriedly continued: "It's not over yet, I still need 1,000 boxes of gold, 10,000 pieces of jade, and 2,000 carriages of tea."
Xue Donglai said as a slut, "There is a little more, but I can convince His Majesty the Emperor when I go back."
"Your Majesty the Emperor is really willing to give it?"
"Governor Mustali, if you have time to visit our Song Dynasty, my Song Dynasty is rich and powerful, and it is definitely not a false reputation."
"Okay! I will convey your meaning to Sultan Sanjar, and I hope we can cooperate happily."
“Happy cooperation.”
Xue Donglai smiled and watched Mustali go out.
The next day, Xue Donglai was released from prison and was treated with the highest courtesy as a state guest.
Everyone drank and talked happily, and soon formulated a covenant between the two sides.
Xue Donglai signed a covenant on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Sanjar was overjoyed and felt that it was a fortune from heaven.
He promised Xue Donglai that he would send 500,000 troops to advance eastward and completely eliminate Yelu Dashi.
Not only that, he also sent someone to escort Xue Donglai all the way east.
Governor Habibra of Sistan said to Sanjar with concern: "The great Sultan of Sanjar, the Easterners may be treacherous at any time, and you should not believe that person's words."
Sanjar laughed and said, "My Lord Habibra, I know your concerns, but we have not paid any price. If the Eastern people do not fulfill their promises, God's army will arrive in the East and make judgments on these treacherous people in the name of God."
"Sultan Sanjar, we are going to send a army of 500,000 to help the Oriental people. This is not a good thing, this is the price we pay."
"His Excellency Habibra, I just promised him to send a 500,000 army eastwards, and did not say that he would participate in the war. Even if he participated in the war, he did not agree to attack Yelu Dashi at any time."
Only then did Habibra wake up like a dream.
Xue Donglai traveled eastward and knew that the mission had been completed.
His mission was to ask Sanjar to send troops. As for whether Sanjar would like to fight in real life, it was not his consideration.
In the emperor's words, as long as Sanjar is willing to send troops, he can already cause a great deterrence to Huassanmo, Garseni, Gur and others.
It can put strong pressure on the rear of the Liao Kingdom.
The scenery in the Western Regions is very magnificent. Xue Donglai followed the ancient Silk Road and rushed to the east.
Sanjar's escort left a few days later.
Xue Donglai led the Song Dynasty's guards to cross the Sir River and quickly entered the Qihe River Basin.
The June wind blew the wide plains, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
After walking for a half day, Xue Dong arrived at Talas City.
The number of business trips in Talas City has decreased significantly.
Xue Donglai entered Talas City and entered a tavern.
The owner of the tavern is a Han man named Zhang Huaian.
"Five pounds of beef, two pounds of daughter red."
In the Western Regions, there are not many people selling Han wine, and this tavern is one of them.
After drinking and eating the meat, Xue Donglai stayed here.
It was midnight that Zhang Huaian arrived at Xue Donglai's room.
Business has now ceased.
Xue Donglai told all his experiences. Zhang Huaian copied a total of twenty copies and then distributed them to twenty imperial city guards.
These people were ordered to take them to the emperor's military camp from different roads.
After sending the information from the west back, the Imperial City Guards lurking near the Amu River began to closely observe the recent movements of the Seljuks.
The next day, Zhang Huaian began to pack up his things.
"Commander Zhang, what are you going to do?"
"President Xue, you still don't know. I just received the information that the Ghassini army has already reached north with 100,000 troops and will arrive in Talas this afternoon. We must leave as soon as possible now."
Xue Donglai, who often deals with the Hu people in the Western Regions, is naturally a real Gaseni.
"The Gaseni people have produced 100,000 troops!" Xue Donglai was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the Gaseni people to support Yelu Dashi so much.
"The flower thorn model has been confirmed and will send no less than 50,000 troops."
Seeing Xue Donglai's expression becoming nervous, Zhang Huaian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Xue, Wu Shuai has already led his troops south. The Gassini people still don't know that Wu Shuai's troops have arrived. They will probably soon experience the feeling of the Han iron army coming to the royal city."
Zhang Huaian added: "At that time, I will return all the grievances that Xue Guanren suffered from the Ghassinians over the years!"
Xue Donglai was slightly stunned, then laughed: "In Commander Zhang's eyes, Caomin is just an ordinary businessman, just dealing with Gassinians."
"If Officer Xue is still just a mere businessman in the future, how could Your Majesty ask Officer Xue to be sent to Seljuk?" Zhang Huaian said with a deep meaning, "Let's go, pack up your things, I will add some more people and send Officer Xue to the east."
"Where is that commander Zhang?"
"I want to go to the Amu River, and Sanjar's movements, the Imperial City Department will report to His Majesty at any time."
After packing his luggage, Xue Donglai rode his horse and left the city.
"President Xue takes care of him!"
"Commander Zhang must take care of himself. After the triumph, I will come to Chang'an. I will prepare some wine and get drunk with Commander Zhang!"
"Okay! One word is determined!"
The two of them parted ways, and Xue Donglai sighed in his heart.
The Western Regions are very dangerous places, and people like Zhang Huaian are very dangerous in the Western Regions.
Chapter completed!
