This is actually understandable.
After all, the Kara-Khanid Kingdom did not border the Song Dynasty, and they did send an envoy once in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu. However, the Song Dynasty was very cold towards the Kara-Khanid Kingdom and only sent back an imperial edict, so naturally they did not need to care about the Song Dynasty's attitude.
They had a territorial border with the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom's Shangjing Road was adjacent to the northeastern region of their territory. If they did not maintain good relations with the Liao Kingdom, the Black Khanate might be destroyed by the powerful Liao people.
So this is understandable.
However, no one expected that the once powerful Liao Kingdom would be defeated by the Song Dynasty overnight. The Song Dynasty had become famous in recent years and its prestige had spread far and wide. Its reputation also reached the western border along with the spread of caravans.
Suleiman was naturally not a fool like Aqifuluo who was deceived by women. Since he knew that the Liao Dynasty was declining, he could naturally find someone else to rely on.
The old minister Badia said: "The Song people are looking westward. We must make a choice between Liao and Song."
"And today, the Song envoy looked at our land greedily. During the Tang Dynasty, this place was occupied by the Tang Dynasty. They even named our capital Suiye City. I'm afraid their ambitions don't stop there."
"Yes, the Song people today may be even more powerful than the Tang Dynasty. They annihilated the Gaochang Kingdom, defeating tens of thousands of Gaochang cavalry with just a single attack. It was terrifying."
"Even if we surrender to them, what will happen to the shameful traitor Ibrahim? You heard that the Song envoys will continue to travel west. If Ibrahim surrenders to the Song Dynasty, once we go to war with them, the Song Dynasty may send troops."
"But if we choose not to submit to them, Gaochang will end up like this. I heard that the Song people have already stationed troops in Kucha."
"What should I do?"
Several ministers looked embarrassed. The current situation made them feel that they were in a difficult situation.
Because at this time, they were planning something big.
Attack the Western Karakhanid Kingdom.
Unify the Black Khan!
If the Song envoys went west to the Western Black Khanate, it would be very difficult for the Eastern Black Khanate.
