On the morning of June 19, Zhao Ziliang was instructing Zhao Hu to practice martial arts in Zhuangzi, when Wang Can hurriedly walked over and said, "General! ”

Zhao Ziliang saw that Wang Can looked a little anxious, and knew that something must have happened, so he said to Zhao Hu: "Just practice like you did just now, you know?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Hu nodded in agreement, and began to practice according to Zhao Ziliang's instructions just now.

Zhao Ziliang pulled out, and after the two walked aside, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Can said with a somewhat ugly face: "At the end of yesterday, I will send someone to contact the Ashina clan, but I can't get in touch, even her maid Xiaocui is missing, but we found Xiaocui's body in a forest last night. And this morning Jingzhao Mansion received a report from farmers, found a female corpse by the Weishui River, after the Yamen Yamen officials quickly transported the female corpse back to the Yamen, and began to verify the identity of the female corpse, we sent news on the inside line of the Yamen, after verification, the female corpse is Ashina, the body is covered with bruises and scars, and has been **** by many people before death, that is to say, Ashina's action failed! Moreover, after Jingzhao Mansion found out about the relationship between Ashina and Li Linfu, it blocked the news, and the body was secretly disposed of."

Zhao Ziliang didn't react after hearing this, touched his chin, and said: "It seems that a certain person still overestimated the Ashina clan, hmph, this woman has a delusional heart, but she does not have the corresponding city government and ability, and she was discovered and killed by Li Linfu during the operation, she really deserved it!" ”

Wang Can was a little worried: "General, I don't know if Ashina and Xiaocui confessed to us before they died, if they didn't hold on, wouldn't Li Linfu know that we were behind our backs?" ”

Zhao Ziliang sneered: "Hmph, what can he do if he knows that we did it?" Didn't he send an assassin to assassinate so-and-so? He also knew that even if Ashina and Xiaocui confessed, they couldn't do anything to me, this kind of thing, just one or two assassins' confessions were not enough to convict a general, when he sent assassins to kill so-and-so, so-and-so didn't want to complain to the emperor, because so-and-so knew that this couldn't bring him down at all, and this time he was also very clear, so he just killed Xiaocui and Ashina, maybe Ashina's coachman was also killed, but the body hasn't been found yet! But we can't take this matter lightly, maybe Li Linfu is thinking of some vicious idea to deal with us! You have to think a little more about intelligence, and it's better to find a way to send people into the enemy's interior."

Wang Can hugged his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

······

Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Linfu sat on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face, and several staff members sat on both sides, he sneered: "Hehe, this Zhao kid finally has a temper, and he actually knows to send someone to kill the prime minister, if it weren't for the fact that the prime minister saw Ashina's expression wrong the day before yesterday, I am afraid that he would die at this time!" Okay, Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang, you also know how to use this kind of next method, and I thought that only the original phase could be used, good, very good! In that case, let's fight and see who can beat whom! ”

The first staff member on the left arched his hand and said: "Xiangye, now Zhao Ziliang has really regarded Xiangye as an enemy, and Xiangye has a bigger opponent on the side of the East Palace, let's make enemies everywhere like this, I'm afraid that we will be in a disadvantageous position!" ”

The first official on the right snorted coldly: "Hmph, what are you afraid of?" Xiang Ye didn't treat Zhao Ziliang as an enemy at the beginning, he wasn't enough to sing, but who made him touch Xiang Ye's bottom line? This is not a problem that can be solved by forbearance, for people like Zhao Ziliang, in the case of not being friends, they can only be enemies, even if we want to treat him as a friend, but will he treat him as our friend? ”

Li Linfu nodded and said: "What Master Gao said is good, he is either a friend or an enemy in the officialdom, there is no reason to talk about it!" He, Zhao Ziliang, actually instigated the Ashina clan to poison me, hehe, if he didn't give him a big gift, wouldn't he be too ignorant of etiquette! Think about it, is there any way to kill the little bastard surnamed Zhao? ”

Gao Feng touched his beard, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Linfu: "Xiangye, the lower official has an idea!" ”

Li Linfu immediately said: "Say it quickly!" ”

"In a few days, didn't Zhao Ziliang want to lead the troops to escort Ashina Xin to the Turk Shi to take office? After this long journey of thousands of miles, who knows what will happen in between? From Chang'an to Tuqishi to pass through Longyou, Hexi and Anxi, along the way is either an inaccessible desert or an endless desert, and there are even more terrifying eight hundred miles of Mohe Yanmoi, there are sand thieves and a large number of horse bandits everywhere, even if you go to Tuqishi, I am afraid that Mohe Dagan is also very reluctant to return to Tuqishi, right? ”

Li Linfu laughed: "Hahaha······ Ok, good, good! ”

After laughing, Li Linfu said to the second person on the right: "Mr. Liang, this matter will be handed over to you to deploy, this time Zhao Ziliang will lead a thousand troops to escort the Ashina clan, the soldiers are selected from the forbidden army, Mr. can put a few people in to do internal response, at any time to tell us the movements of Zhao Ziliang and Ashina Xin, in addition, those sand thieves and horse bandits along the way still need to be bought, although they are not very numerous, but if they can be gathered, there are still a lot of people, how to do it depends on Mr. Liang!" ”

Mr. Liang got up and said, "No! The subordinates will not let Xiangye down! ”

June 19, Zhao Ziliang came to the Zichen Palace in front of the emperor Li Longji, and from Li Longji got the transfer of troops and fish charms, after coming out of the Zichen Palace, Zhao Ziliang rushed to the Shenwu Army to draw a thousand Shenwu Army, including 200 cavalry, 800 infantry, and went to the military department to receive grain and grass materials.

The Shenwu Army arranged for a cavalry captain and two infantry captains to accompany him, and helped Zhao Ziliang to lead the troops and horses. Zhao Ziliang is not familiar with these three captains, and he has no friendship, if these three captains are obedient on the road, it is fine, if they are not obedient, Zhao Ziliang decided to use their heads to deter this thousand divine martial army.

On the morning of June 20, Zhao Ziliang said a simple goodbye to Chen Qingying, Nie Sanniang and a few children, and then took Brehan and Nur to lead 200 cavalry from the Shenwu army camp to receive 1,000 soldiers and horses.

When they arrived at the Shenwu Army, a thousand Shenwu troops had been assembled, of which two hundred infantry were responsible for logistics, transporting grain, grass and ordnance as baggage soldiers, and the three captains saw Zhao Ziliang arrive, and immediately greeted them: "Meet the general, two hundred cavalry and six hundred infantry, two hundred baggage soldiers and grain and grass ordnance have all been prepared, ready to set off at any time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, rode his horse to the front of the army and stopped and shouted: "All pay attention, the Shenwu Army has always retreated from the border pass, most of the people have experienced the test of life and death, have killed people, seen blood, this general has also served as the general of the Shenwu Army, some of you know me, some people don't know me, I don't care if you know me, whether we have a friendship or not, but I only mention one request here - obey the military order, this general's order must be thoroughly implemented among you, If you can't do it, you have to try whether the general's military law is strict, this errand is not a good errand, nearly 10,000 miles back and forth, and it will take four or five months to walk fast, only strict military discipline can complete the task to ensure that the team does not disperse, to tell you the truth, this general has prepared for the worst, this time, in order to clean up military discipline and gather strength, this general has set the standard, choose a hundred people among you, what for? Kill! Anyone who disobeys military orders, disobeys military orders, disobeys the yang and yin, and passively sabotages in work, once discovered, will be dealt with by military law immediately! There are a few things to pay attention to: first, whether it is on the march or during the rest time, the soldier must report to the team commander when he leaves the team, and the team leader must report to the brigade commander when he leaves the team, and anyone who leaves the team must report to the boss and get permission. Second, the boss asks you and your soldiers to sit down, so that you can sit down, let you listen to it, let you eat and drink, you can eat and drink, there is no order and explanation, no one is unloading the armor without authorization, even if you are sleeping, the armor and weapons cannot leave the body, let you go to the knife mountain, you have to go even if you die, let you flow into the sea of fire, even if you are burned to death, you have to step forward, if you have the courage to dare to fight against this general, hum, a few more unjust souls along the way are nothing, do you understand? ”

Originally, the temperature began to rise, and the soldiers began to sweat from the sun, but after listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, including the three captains, everyone felt chills all over their bodies, and their hearts were bitter.

But who dares to hesitate at this time? Immediately got up and promised: "I understand!" ”

"Okay, let's go!" Zhao Ziliang shouted, and with a wave of his hand, the three captains led the team out of the Shenwu Army camp in turn, with the cavalry in front, the infantry in the back, and the baggage soldiers in the last with grain, grass and ordnance.

When Zhao Ziliang arrived with a thousand men and horses, and also his own 200 horses from the cavalry, Ash Naxin had just returned from the palace thanksgiving, Ash Naxin was obviously already prepared, Zhao Ziliang had just arrived with the people, he took his wife, the new Jiaohe princess Li and some maids, house slaves to welcome out, there were more than a dozen carriages full of large wooden boxes parked at the door, what was in the wooden box, Zhao Ziliang didn't know, but he knew that these things should be rewarded by the emperor, It is nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, cloth and other valuables.

"Oh, General Zhao, I've admired my name for a long time, this time I went back to Tu Qishi, and I have to rely on General Zhao a lot along the way, Xin and Neiko have thanked me here first!" Ashina Xin greeted Zhao Ziliang with a smile on his face, bowing and bowing. Although he has been canonized as the Ten Khan, he does not have a single soldier in his hands, whether he can successfully return to Tuqi Shi this time to take over the power, there are still many places to rely on Zhao Ziliang, so he does not dare to put up any shelf in front of Zhao Ziliang.

"You don't know that your sister has been killed by Li Linfu, right? muttered in his heart, Zhao Ziliang arched his hand indifferently and saluted: "The Khan is serious, this is the duty of the last general!" ”

"General Zhao, please speak here!" Ashina Xin said as he came to a carriage filled with large wooden boxes, all tied to the carriage with ropes.

Zhao Ziliang followed and arched his hand: "The Khan has something to say, please say!" ”

Ashina Xin pointed to the big wooden box on the carriage and said with a smile: "I have to rely on General Zhao a lot along the way, this is a little meaning of Xin, I heard that the little boy and the young lady in the general's mansion are about to be full moon, you see that I was not in Chang'an at that time, this little meaning is to buy a few clothes for the little boy and the young lady to wear!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't expect Ash Naxin to be so sophisticated in Chang'an over the years, and he was so familiar with the etiquette of Han people's human relations, he was really unseemly!

Before Zhao Ziliang could speak, Ashina Xin pointed to a carriage in front of him and said: "The money from this carriage mountain is for the general and his brothers to buy wine and drink on the road, and please don't dislike the general and brothers!" ”

Someone sent money, Zhao Ziliang was naturally not embarrassed, not to mention that there was no problem with receiving this money at all, and there would be no trouble getting up, Zhao Ziliang thanked him, and then shouted to the generals; "Come on, give all the money and property in this car to the soldiers, brothers, if you take the money, you have to work hard, don't just take the money and don't do anything, otherwise the general will not agree, do you understand?"

The generals didn't expect that there would be additional entries in this errand, everyone rejoiced on the spot, shouted loudly, and said that Zhao Ziliang was the first to look forward, and whoever dared to disobey the order was to be the enemy of everyone, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but sigh, sometimes money is more effective than strict military discipline!

Ash Naxin and Princess Xinjiaohe are ready, Princess Jiaohe got into the carriage, and Ash Naxin rode a horse with Zhao Ziliang, so that it was convenient to discuss and respond to special situations at any time, after everything was ready, Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and waved: "Let's go-".

The team slowly started and moved towards the Jinguang Gate in the west of the city. (To be continued.) )
