That night, Zhao Ziliang sent people to release Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, Li Chengguang, Tian Liangqiu and others, who were in confinement, and brought them to his tent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The sin will wait to meet the commander!" Wang Sili and the others clasped their fists and bowed in unison.

Zhao Ziliang turned around and looked at a few people by the side of the map and said: "The book of repentance you wrote is handsome, it is not badly written, and you have a deeper understanding of your own mistakes, which shows that you are still saved, and you want to make meritorious contributions when you made mistakes before, who were you before?" One by one, from small soldiers, scribes step by step to today, not only your own efforts, don't forget that if it weren't for the court and the superior officials and generals to promote you, you would not have grown to this point, His Majesty the Emperor, the court and the marshal all hope that you will put your mind on the right path, don't make any small moves, and make contributions in a down-to-earth manner is the right thing, you have made mistakes, the emperor and the marshal are deeply guilty and pity, why guilt? Because those of us who are commanders and division commanders have not supervised you well, why is it a pity? It is not easy for you to get to this high position, and you have ruined your future like this, not only for yourself and your parents, but also for the cultivation and support of the court and the emperor! If everyone is like you and only seeks their own personal interests, what future will our Tang Dynasty and the Chinese nation have? You must remember that in the face of the future and destiny of the country, the selfish interests of any individual are insignificant! If there is anyone else in the world today who can be admired and admired by Zhao Ziliang, it is only General Wang Zhonghe! General Wang's military achievements are outstanding, meritorious and prominent, but he never cares about personal gains and losses, hard work, never want to make military merits and use swords, when he was also the envoy of the four border towns, controlling thousands of miles of Xinjiang, but he has never sought personal interests for himself, his heirs are still in their hometown to farm, what about you? One by one, they are playing their own little abacus, lest they suffer losses and be deceived, with your mentality, how can Shangguan rest assured that he will hand over the heavy task to you, ah? ”

Everyone was very ashamed and lowered their heads.

Zhao Ziliang shouted when he saw this: "What are you doing with your head down?" Sitting or not sitting, standing or not standing! You are soldiers, stand up for me! Raise your head and chest, straighten your waist, put your hands down vertically and clamp the outside of your thighs, bring your heels together, and spread your toes in a figure-eight shape! Take a look at these pro-soldiers and see how they do it! ”

Wang Sili, Li Chengguang, Pang Zhong and Tian Liangqiu and others were trained by Zhao Ziliang to be like grandsons, and the soldiers standing guard next to them bit their lips and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only endure it, and their faces turned red one by one.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Sili and the others with a disgusted expression: "You are still a general like a bear?" I don't want to be a soldier! From today onwards, you have to start training again from the small soldiers, and I will send someone to train a few of you! After speaking, he beckoned to a pro-soldier next to him.

The pro-soldier walked a few steps forward and stood up with his fists and said, "Handsome!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "From today on, it is up to you to train a few of them, let them be real soldiers, tell them, don't think that you are soldiers after a few years of soldiers, real soldiers must be clear in their words and deeds, soldiers are not ruffians, not high-rollers, not bandits and bandits, not ordinary people, not temple politicians!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" The soldiers agreed, and then said to Wang Sili and the others: "My name is Wang Xiaozhong, from now on, you are all the soldiers under my hands, I am your captain, my orders, you must obey unconditionally, during the exercise, without my permission, you are not allowed to speak without permission, you must stand upright in front of me, you must report to me before doing anything, you can only get permission, even if you go to the toilet, you must report, do you understand?" ”

Wang Sili and the others glared at each other, and then lowered their heads and agreed: "I heard it!" ”

The pro-soldier yelled: "What? Are you all? One by one, like a dead father and mother, didn't you eat? Be louder, I can't hear you! ”

"You・・・・・・ you presumptuous!" Li Chengguang couldn't help but start a fire at first.

The pro-soldier didn't want to raise his foot and kicked over, and with a "bump", Li Chengguang was kicked and flew a few meters away and fell to the ground, and the pro-soldier rushed up and smashed it with several punches in a row, beating Li Chengguang to scream again and again, which frightened Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, Tian Liangqiu and others.

Li Chengguang is also a general-level figure no matter how he says it, although his martial arts are not said to be rare enemies, but how can the skills of a general who can command thousands of troops be inferior? They didn't expect that Li Chengguang would be beaten under the hands of this pro-soldier and had no power to fight back.

"Convincing or not?" The soldiers roared as they punched and slammed their fists.

After more than a dozen punches, Li Chengguang was beaten so sore that he couldn't lift up any strength, and it hurt terribly, he couldn't stand it and immediately shouted: "Obey, I obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang hugged his arms and smiled as he watched the pro-soldiers beat Li Chengguang fat for a while and ignored them, the pro-soldiers got up and stood up, sorted out their armor, and shouted to Li Chengguang: "Get up and stand up, hurry up!" ”

Now Li Chengguang lost his temper, and was pig-headed by a small personal soldier Zou Cheng, who was afraid that he would be laughed out of his big teeth when he said this, but at this time, it was still good for a hero not to suffer the loss in front of him, so he honestly got up and stood up.

"Line up and turn left! Left, which side is on the left, Wang Sili, are you a pig? ”

In the roar of this pro-soldier, Wang Sili and the others were taken out of the tent, Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled, and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, call Li Siye and Zhao Ting over to see me!" ”

"No!"

After a while, Li Siye and Zhao Ting walked in and bowed with their fists and said, "See Dashuai!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand: "No courtesy!" Calling the two of you here is for the sake of the captives, in addition to the wounded among the captives who need to be healed and cultivated, there are still about 80,000 captives left in the camp, raising so many captives need a lot of food, but they can't be killed, Ben Shuai thought about it for a while, and decided to transform these captives and let them serve the court again, Ben Shuai decided to send the two of you to be responsible for their reorganization and training, first ask the prisoners for their ideas, if they don't want to fight, you can send a little money to let them go home, If they have the heart to stay in the army and continue to serve the imperial court, the two of you will be responsible for reorganizing them, retraining them, and training them into the army as quickly as possible. ”

Li Siye and Zhao Ting immediately stood up and said loudly: "No! ”

"Okay, this matter is decided, tomorrow the army will announce this matter to the middle at the morning meeting of the army, and first allocate military funds, food and grass, weapons and armor and other equipment until you train for a period of time before equipping."

"The last general commands!"

On 22 July, Zhao Ziliang held a morning meeting at the big tent of the Chinese army, which was a daily activity that must be carried out in the Beiting army, mainly to report on the military situation, arrange the training of various units throughout the day, guard posts, patrol tasks, and other matters.

At the morning meeting, Zhao Ziliang announced in public that he would carry out a comprehensive reorganization and training of the prisoners, and appointed Li Siye and Zhao Ting to be fully responsible, and allocated military funds and grain and grass on the spot, and all the 7,000 infantry of the Beiting Army were left behind by Li Siye and Zhao Ting, and at the same time ordered the rest of the army to make a fire to rebel on the 23rd, and set off to approach Tongguan at the time of Chen.

After the morning meeting, Zhao Ziliang personally sent a handwritten report to Emperor Xuanzong in Ma Weiyi, and at the same time informed the emperor that he had led his troops to approach Tongguan and was ready to wait for the opportunity to attack Tongguan.

In the early morning of July 23, all the cavalry of the Beiting Army marched to Tongguan with nearly 30,000 horses, and arrived at the west wall of Tongguan in the afternoon of the same day and camped fifteen miles outside.

Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi fled to Luoyang overnight after the defeat, and on the afternoon of July 24, An Lushan was watching singing and dancing in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, so comfortable.

At this time, a eunuch rushed over and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Tongguan guard sent General Li Guiren to expedite 800 li, saying that General Sun Xiaozhe and Zhao Ziliang were defeated after encountering, and all the 100,000 troops were defeated, and less than 200 people could escape!" ”

"What? Defeated? An Lushan was not interested in continuing to watch the song and dance at this time, and blasted all the dancers out: "Get out, get out, get out!" ”

After the dancing girls were blasted out, An Lushan said angrily: "100,000 horses are gone? What do Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi eat? What about them? ”

The eunuch arrived: "General Sun and General Yin are on their way back to Luoyang, and they should have passed through Shaanxi County at this time!" ”

An Lushan grabbed the pen holder on the imperial case and smashed it on the ground and scolded: "I lost 100,000 troops in one face, and Sun Xiaozhe still has the face to come back?" Why didn't he die? Come on, when Sun Xiaozhe arrives in Luoyang, he will immediately arrest me, and I will scrape him alive! ”

"Yes!"

On the morning of July 25, An Lushan held a court meeting.

"Come on, bring Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi to the palace!"

Soon, Sun Xiaozhe was taken to the main hall by the Five Flowers, but Yin Ziqi was not tied, he was a deputy general, and he did not have to bear the main responsibility for the defeat.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!" Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi both knelt down to pay respects.

An Lushan gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, you two still have the face to come back to see me?" In vain, I trust you so much, and hand over 100,000 elites to you, how do you repay me, is this how you repay my trust? Why don't you wipe your neck on the spot, huh? ”

"General Sun, you are too indiscriminate, you have an army of 100,000 in your hands, even if it is 100,000 pigs for the Tang army to kill, can they kill them in one day?" This was said too sharply and viciously, and many generals in the court began to accuse Sun Xiaozhe, just because Sun Xiaozhe used to be one of the most trusted generals in An Lushan, and this person was responsible for supervising all the rebel generals of the rebels in Guanxi, and these people were not less rectified by Sun Xiaozhe, so many people held a grudge against Sun Xiaozhe.
