The OP wrote that the characters are at least appearing as emmisaries of a foreign government - couldn't they just ask the current king to help out? Why is he so unwilling to do so? If he's afraid that using half his army to fight someone else would weaken his kingdom overmuch, wouldn't that still be the case for the new king?

Does the kingdom the PCs are working for know they're doing this? If so, aren't they worried that the PCs will turn around and use their new friendly army to attack the place they're supposedly working for? Even if not, might they not be concerned that a group of agents who can go cause regime change in a foreign land might someday decide to do so at home if the price was right?
