On the tenth day of the third month of the ninth year of Tianbao, Zhao Ziliang convened the main officials and generals of the Beiting to discuss the matter, and there were not only Zhao Ziliang's cronies and officials, but also the officials of the Jiedu Embassy who had surrendered to him because of the defeat of Wang Zhengjian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and reported to them: "Everyone, at the end of last year, General Li Siye went to Huoxun Country instead of Ben General, but he was still one step late, and when he arrived at Huoxun Country in the first month of this year, the Umayyad Dynasty of the Great Food Country had been wiped out by the rebels. The Abbasids established the Abbasid Dynasty, and canonized a Persian named Hepo Silin as the governor of Khorasan Province in the northeast of the Great Food Country, the Abbasid Dynasty was anxious to be aggressive, they had just established the country, and their claws had already stretched out to one of the Zhaowu countries, Huoxun Country, which had few small soldiers, and was not the opponent of the Great Cannibal at all, they quickly took refuge in the past, General Li not only did not persuade Huoxunguo to deal with the Great Cannibal with us, but was also arrested and imprisoned by Huoxunguo for more than ten years, If it weren't for Li Siye's life-saving grace to the Lord of the Fire Seeking Country many years ago, I am afraid that he would not be able to come back this time. The aggressiveness and ambition of the black-clothed cannibals have been revealed, and now we must urgently mobilize to carry out a rearmament war, once the claws of the black-clothed cannibals are all stretched into the Zhaowu countries, the prestige of our Datang in the Western Regions will be greatly affected! Now is the current foreign enemy, what grievances do you have before, this general thinks that you should put it aside for the time being, and concentrate on dealing with external humiliation wholeheartedly, internal friction will only make the foreign enemy cheap, as the so-called nest is finished? Therefore, General Ben hopes that you will abandon your past suspicions and unite with the outside world! ”

The officials of the Jiedu Embassy looked at each other, and someone said loudly: "Xiaguan thinks that General Zhao is reasonable, although Xiaguan does not agree with some of General Zhao's practices, but now that there are foreign enemies around, we can't be brothers!" If the general has any orders, the subordinate will do his best and will not give up! ”

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look when they heard this, only to see that the person who spoke was Du Jianhong, and Zhao Ziliang was also quite surprised, but he still nodded to Du Jianhong in a friendly manner.

After the others hesitated for a while, a few more people stood up and expressed their willingness to give up their prejudices and completely obey Zhao Ziliang's orders and dispatches, and then the others also stood up one after another to express their attitudes.

Zhao Ziliang saw that everyone had expressed their position, and he was more satisfied in his heart, no matter whether these people were sincere or false, but at least for now, the situation was still very good, if these people had behaviors such as disobedience, delay, and stumbling in the process of dealing with the black-clothed cannibals in the future, Zhao Ziliang could punish them publicly.

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Okay, what do you think we should do now?" ”

The officials were silent for a while, and no one came forward to offer advice, Zhao Ziliang summoned these people to discuss the matter this time, mainly to integrate the military formation of the entire Beiting, so he was a close confidant and rarely spoke, if these officials did not speak, his purpose could not be achieved, which made him feel a little bad.

At the critical moment, it was Du Jianhong who broke the silence, he stood up and bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "General Zhao, the lower officials think that there are three things to do in the first place: first, immediately send eight hundred li to urgently report the news of the Great Food Country to the imperial court, and the imperial court will inevitably have a will soon; Second, immediately rearmament for war. It is necessary to drill soldiers and horses, prepare grain, grass and other military supplies, and at the same time send detailed workers to go deep into the Zhaowu countries to inquire about the news about the Great Food Country, and report any movement in time if there is any movement in the Black Clothes Great Food; Third, immediately send people to contact the various departments under the rule of Beiting, firmly control them, and not let them be co-opted by the Great Food Country! If necessary, officials and the military can be sent over to monitor and deter, so that they do not take a firm position and throw themselves into the black clothes! ”

At this time, Liu Wei stood up and arched his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, I am used to thinking that what Lord Du said is even, these three things are indeed the most important thing we should do at present!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Yes, do you have any other feasible suggestions?" ”

No one was standing up to speak, and Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Okay, let's start according to Master Du's suggestion, and the Jiedu Embassy will immediately send a letter to send eight hundred li to Chang'an urgently, and at the same time send a copy to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, so as not to let Gao Xianzhi and the others know about it!" The Soldiers and Horses Envoy immediately organized officials to send them to the various ministries to publicize the will of the Beiting side, and at the same time monitor the movements of the various ministries, and if any of them had different intentions, they immediately sent people back to report it. The army must be mobilized immediately, all armies and towns must intensify their drills, and if there are insufficient weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and other military supplies, they must quickly report to the army, and the soldiers and horses must replenish them in a timely manner, and the chief generals and deputy generals of each army and town must have one person on duty in the barracks, and they can rotate after their own consultations, and after receiving the military order from the soldiers' and horses' embassies, they must rush to the predetermined place for assembly as soon as possible! The colleagues of the Jiedu envoy must report to the general in a timely manner the situation of government affairs in various places, and they should not be mistaken for government affairs just because the big cannibal in black may be called! Do you understand? ”

Everyone bowed their hands together and said, "Obey the general's orders!" ”

After the officials and generals dispersed, they each handled it according to their own duties, and the report sent to Chang'an and the news report from Anxi were sent out on the same day, and the ****** of the entire Beiting Army was also sent to the army, town, city, fort, E, post and other military organizations that year, and these military units quickly took action after receiving the military order of the soldiers and horses, and it can be seen from this point that Zhao Ziliang had a very good effect on the rectification of the Beiting Army.

The Soldiers and Horses Envoy spent another two days screening a group of officials as envoys to the various barbarian tribes under the jurisdiction of Beiting to sit in town, on the one hand, to know their interests, on the other hand, to play a role in surveillance, but also to threaten.

Anxi is relatively close to Beiting, but Gao Xianzhi is still on the way back to Anxi at this time, just after Cao Guo entered the territory of Shiguo, Anxi received the news sent by Beiting, and immediately sent someone to Gao Xianzhi's army, which lasted more than half a month before it was delivered to Gao Xianzhi.

On April 25, Gao Xianzhi sent away the messenger who delivered the letter after seeing the report, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and notified the supervising army Bian Lingcheng and the generals to go to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss matters.

After Bian Lingcheng and the generals arrived, Gao Xianzhi took the official document sent by the Beiting side and said: "Just now I received an official letter from the Beiting side, which said that they received the news that the Umayyad Dynasty of the Great Food Country has been destroyed by the rebels. The Abbasids have been established as a country, it is for the Abbasid Dynasty, and there may have been small countries among the Zhaowu countries under the jurisdiction of my Anxi Protectorate who were afraid of the power of the black-clothed food and secretly took refuge in the past, if we don't pay attention to it, the prestige of my Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions will plummet, and sooner or later we will lose control of the Western Regions, how do you think we should deal with the black-clothed food? ”

The generals didn't speak, after all, they only knew about war, and when it came to foreign policy, they didn't understand.

Bian Lingcheng asked, "General Gao, is this news reliable?" ”

Gao Xianzhi said: "It was Beiting who sent 800 li to send it in the form of an official document, I don't think they will and dare not make this kind of joke, and no one can bear the responsibility of lying about the military situation."

"That seems to be true!" Bian Lingcheng nodded, thought for a while and said: "The miscellaneous family thinks that our army is currently in the Zhaowu Kingdoms, and we can recruit the lords of the Zhaowu Kingdoms to test them and see their attitudes, what the general thinks."

Gao Xianzhi weighed it and agreed: "Okay, then send someone to summon the countries of Zhaowu to come quickly, set a time limit for them, if you don't come within the time limit, you will be disrespectful to my Datang!" ”

Marching Sima Duan Xiushi immediately agreed: "No! ”

But he said that Bian Lingcheng had just returned to the door of his tent, and he saw an official waiting outside the tent. ”

Bian Lingcheng frowned and saw this official and asked, "Who are you?" What's the deal with finding a miscellaneous family? ”

The official said: "My lord, Xia Guan is on an errand in the baggage camp, just now Xia Guan met a Shi State official outside the camp, he said that there is something important to ask to see the highest official of the Tang Army, Xia Guan thought, you are the emperor sent to the prison army, are you not the highest official, so I am waiting for you outside your camp tent."

When Bian Lingcheng heard this person say that he was the highest official of the Tang Army, he was a little happy in his heart, and his face became good-looking, so he said with a pleasant face: "You accepted the money from the official of the Shi Kingdom, right?" But you don't have to be afraid, okay, you go and bring the official of the Stone Kingdom to see this official! ”

"No!" The petty official left with a thousand thanks.

Soon, this person came to Bian Lingcheng's camp with a bearded Shiguo official, and after making a report, Bian Lingcheng let them into the camp.

"The villain Shiguo's Minister of Farmland, Mo Lie, meets Lord Bian!"

Bian Lingcheng looked at the official of the Shi Kingdom with a big beard, but his face was very thin, and he was quite impressed, so he asked, "What do you want to see this official?" ”

Mo Lie immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord, Xia Guan is here to seek the refuge of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Wang Enyuan often disrespects the Tang Dynasty between his words, and happened to be heard by the Xia Guan a few days ago, Enyuan was worried that the Xia Guan would reveal his disrespect to the Tang Dynasty, so he sent someone to chase and kill the Xia Guan, the Xia Guan has fled everywhere in the past few days, and happened to hear that the Tang Army has returned victoriously, so he came to seek refuge!" ”

Bian Lingcheng's face changed, and he was a little unhappy that Prince Shi Enyuan was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty in words, but this matter was not good for him, and he could only report the matter to the emperor secretly.

So Bian Lingcheng said: "Lord Mo Lie, the miscellaneous family doesn't know if what you said is true or false, and you shouldn't look for the official for this matter, the official doesn't care about it!" ”

Mo Lie saw that Bian Lingcheng did not provide him with protection, in order to save his life, he immediately said: "My lord, the lower official can tell the lord a secret, a few years ago, the Great Food Kingdom invaded the Zhaowu Kingdoms and plundered a large amount of property, at that time, this batch of property was hoarded in the territory of the Shi Kingdom, the Great Cannibal was defeated by the then General Zhao and did not have time to transport away this batch of property, all of them were obtained by the king at that time, and the current king's Che Bishi inherited this batch of property, if the adult provides shelter for the lower officials, the lower officials can tell the adults about the storage location of this batch of goods!" ”

Hearing that there was a treasure, Bian Lingcheng's eyes lit up on the spot, and he immediately asked, "Is this true?" ”

"My lord, the lower official is willing to vouch for the head!"

Bian Lingcheng was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Okay, you stay by our family from now on, and no one dares to touch you at all!" ”

Na Mo Lie was overjoyed and knelt down again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" (To be continued.) )
