There are still scattered goose feathers and heavy snow in the sky, and the field is an endless snowfield, and there are already soldiers outside the tent who have brought Uli horses and are waiting, and the soldiers and servants are riding war horses and standing in a neat queue in the wind and snow.

Zhao Ziliang opened his arms and asked his own soldiers to wear and drape, the general's armor is not good to wear, and the two ribs need to be tied with hemp rope after being draped on the body, and the help of the personal soldiers must be used to put it on completely.

"General, it's done!" The soldiers checked it and said to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang nodded, picked up the red tasseled helmet and put it under his armpit and walked out, and the generals and officials under his command immediately followed and walked outside the big tent when they saw this.

When Zhao Ziliang walked out of the big tent, Wang Can was already waiting here, and he stepped forward and said: "General, at the checkpoint to Xizhou, a caravan intercepted a note sent to the Chang'an court, and the last general has already read the contents, and the person who wrote the note is Wang Zhengjian, and he impeached the general to the imperial court."

Zhao Ziliang heard this and said with a smile: "Oh? What did he say about the recital? ”

"It is said that the general supports the army and is self-respecting, forming a party for personal gain, cronyism, and committing the following crimes! instigated the army to rebel and besiege Tingzhou City, and he suggested that the imperial court issue a decree to punish it severely! ”

Zhao Ziliang took the note in Wang Can's hand, opened it and read it, and handed it to a personal soldier next to him to take it, "Let's go, this general will go to meet Wang Dashuai, after all, he wants to understand this matter, sooner rather than later!" ”

Everyone rode their war horses to the west city gate, a group of people were mighty, and there were rows of neat foot soldiers and iron horses standing between the military tents in the camp, the army of the Han Navy can be said to have poured a lot of effort into Zhao Ziliang, just to form the three thousand heavy armored iron cavalry in the Han Navy cost countless people, and most of the time, energy and enthusiasm spent on the Han Navy were spent on the Han Navy, so he would never allow anyone to get involved in this army that he considered to be his descendants.

He has been leading this army for two or three years, except for senior generals, most of the low-level military leaders he knows and can name them, and even many ordinary soldiers he is very familiar with.

Passing between the neat rows of ranks, all the soldiers consciously held their weapons with both hands and raised them upwards to show respect, Zhao Ziliang rode his horse and walked slightly, nodding slightly to the soldiers on both sides as he walked. Every soldier looked at him with reverence, not only because of his personal martial arts skills, but also because of his outstanding achievements and invincible record. In such an era, the general's martial arts and military ability can greatly boost morale and improve the overall combat strength of the army, this is the personal personality charm of the general, and the general's personal force and command ability determine the combat effectiveness of an army, not the reason of the army itself.

Zhao Ziliang came to the west gate of Tingzhou under the reverent gaze of the soldiers on both sides, and he was only followed by a dozen pro-soldiers and knights, and the other generals and officials stayed in the camp, watching from a distance.

Zhao Ziliang stopped, looked up at the city tower, and then waved his head to Xuan Wu behind him, Xuan Wu understood, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Who is in charge of the city tower?" My general is here, why don't you quickly report to the king Dashuai? ”

Some heads were shown on the city tower and looked down, the captain on duty and many soldiers recognized Zhao Ziliang, and they were all shocked, and a vicious-looking brigade commander whispered to the captain on duty: "My lord, now Zhao Ziliang is under the city, and it is within the range of our bows and arrows, do you want to let the brothers prepare bows and arrows and shoot him to death with arrows?" ”

The face of the captain on duty changed several times, and finally realized that Zhao Ziliang's stability was directly related to the safety of Tingzhou City, and the Han Navy, Tianshan Army and Desert Army outside the city were relatively stable before, and there was no siege, but if Zhao Ziliang was shot, how could the army outside the city give up? When the time comes, the generals and soldiers under his command will be angry and directly attack the city, and Tingzhou City is afraid that it will be killed without leaving a piece of armor.

The captain on duty shook his head and said, "No, unless you don't want to live, unless you want to make the lives in this Tingzhou City miserable, General Zhao must not be fine." Don't mention this matter again, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will never mention this again!"

The captain on duty waved his hand: "Forget it, you quickly go to the Jiedu Embassy to report to Wang Dashuai, General Zhao is here, we are not qualified to receive it, only to report to Wang Dashuai."

"Yes, the villain will go right away!" The brigade commander agreed, and immediately ran down the tower.

Wang Zhengjian was sitting in the lobby of the Jiedu embassy at this time, and several staff members and cronies were also at a loss, today is already the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is the New Year, and the city is still besieged by a large army, and the people, merchants and officials in the city are panicked, but fortunately, Tingzhou is a big city, and the food reserves in the city are still very sufficient, and it is no problem to meet the needs of the whole city for several months, otherwise the city would have starved to death.

"Hey-" I don't know who sighed, which made Wang Zhengjian's mood even more irritable.

At this time, it was reported outside the door: "Hello marshal, a brigade marshal came up from the tower of the West City Gate, saying that there is something important to report!" ”

"What's the matter? Forget it, let him in! Wang Zhengjian said and waved his hand.

The brigade commander quickly walked in under the leadership of the guards, bowed to Wang Zhengjian, and said: "Qiqi Marshal, Captain Wang of the West City Gate asked the villain to come and report to the marshal, General Zhao is outside the city gate, and said that I want you to meet!" ”

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, "General Zhao? Which General Zhao? ”

"Of course, it's General Zhao Ziliang!"

Wang Zhengjian said eagerly: "He's back?" ”

"Yes, it's right outside the West City Gate right now!"

Wang Zhengjian's expression changed, and after a long while, he took a deep breath, got up and said, "You guys go with Ben Shuai, and go to meet Zhao Ziliang for a while!" ”

All the staff and officials looked at each other, and walked out of the Jiedu Embassy after Wang Zhengjian.

The group quickly rode to the west city gate, climbed up the city tower after dismounting, walked to the city wall and looked down on the battlements, only to see a general sitting on a tall war horse motionless, the cloak and helmet have been covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, and then look carefully at the face, who is not Zhao Ziliang?

After confirming that it was Zhao Ziliang, Wang Zhengjian felt a little relieved in his heart, after all, if the army outside the city was not led by a general, it was easy to become a chaotic soldier, once the rebel army lost control, Tingzhou City would be deeply affected, and now Zhao Ziliang was outside the city, which means that at least the army will not come chaotically.

Wang Zhengjian took a deep breath and asked loudly, "What does General Zhao have to do if he wants to see Ben Shuai?" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his head and said, "Does the handsome want to celebrate the New Year?" If the marshal and the soldiers and civilians in the city don't want to celebrate the New Year, they will turn around and leave immediately! ”

This sentence went straight to Wang Zhengjian's heart, Wang Zhengjian almost fainted without taking a breath, and finally held on to the wall to stabilize his body, and only then did he come back to his senses and ask in a deep voice: "What does General Zhao want?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "It's not what Zhao wants to do, it's how the handsome man wants to end!" Dashuai didn't invite Zhao into the city to sit and drink a cup of hot tea? ”

At this time, many officials who got the news rushed to the city tower, and they listened to Zhao Ziliang and muttered in their hearts, aren't you afraid that you will have your life to enter the city and not to go out of the city?

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "General Zhao dares to enter the city to talk to Ben Shuai?" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "What is Zhao afraid of?" Zhao's net worth and life are directly related to the future and well-being of tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city. But does the marshal dare to order the city gate to be opened and someone enter the city? I don't sit in a hanging basket! ”

Threats, this is a blatant and naked threat! Although Wang Zhengjian was very angry, he had no choice, and in front of so many soldiers on both sides, he had to accept the recruitment, and had to order the city gate to be opened to let Zhao Ziliang enter the city, otherwise his face would be swept away and his prestige would be lost.

Wang Zhengjian almost gritted his teeth and ordered the city gate to be opened, and as the drawbridge of the moat was lowered and the city gate was opened, Zhao Ziliang gently rode his horse and trotted towards the city.

When he walked out of the city gate and entered the city, Wang Zhengjian and the officials in the city were already waiting on both sides, whether it was the officials of the Tingzhou Mansion or the officials of the Duhu Mansion and the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, they all looked at Zhao Ziliang with awe and flattery, after all, from now on, Zhao Ziliang was completely in the upper hand.

Wang Zhengjian looked at Zhao Ziliang and said angrily: "It's all because the old man was blind at the beginning, and he actually recommended people like you who dared to launch mutinies and rebellions as soldiers and horses. ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "At the beginning, I, Zhao, didn't want to be promoted, but it was you Wang Zhengjian who gave me the position of a soldier and a horse envoy. Since I, Zhao, am sitting in the position of the soldier and horse envoy, I will be responsible for the soldiers of the whole North Court! Wang Dashuai, don't talk nonsense about some things, do you mean that I launched this mutiny, and it is also a rebellion? I wonder what evidence you have to prove that I did it? What do you think the soldiers outside the city would think if they heard Wang Dashuai say that they were rebels? Will they break the jar and break it and attack the city directly? ”

The officials couldn't help but tremble with fright when they heard Zhao Ziliang's words, and Wang Zhengjian's face became even more ugly, but he couldn't speak.

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "So, sometimes you can't talk nonsense, Wang Dashuai, you are an old fritter in officialdom, don't you understand this?" ”

Wang Zhengjian's face had turned the color of pig liver, and he disdained Zhao Ziliang to make a dispute of words, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "Since General Zhao wants to talk to Ben Shuai, it is not good here, it is better to go to Ben Shuai's Jiedu Embassy Mansion!" ”

"Zhao Mouzheng has this intention, Dashuai first, please!" Zhao Ziliang said and stretched his hand forward.

Wang Zheng saw that he was not polite at this time, and rode directly to the Jiedu Embassy, Zhao Ziliang walked side by side with him, and other officials and generals walked behind. (To be continued.) )
