On the morning of July 18, Zhao Ziliang's Chinese army was preparing to move to the city of Sama, but the specific location of the Chinese army was stumped by the military judge Dugujun, Gao Shi, who participated in the army, and Sima Chen Qing, who marched to the army.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang was in the big tent of the military camp outside the city to listen to the generals' reports on the battle situation after the attack on the city last night and the pacification of the people in the city.

"At the end of the battle, the battle in the city basically stopped, our army killed 7,254 people of the Great Food Army, captured 6,388 people of the Great Food Army, and captured 6,872 people of the Great Food Servant Army, and the strong men were all released, and the people of Kang Guo in the city who were imprisoned by the Great Food Army were all rescued and allowed to go home respectively, and the captured weapons, horses, grain, and grass have not been calculated for the time being!" After Bai Xiaode finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Li Sheng and asked, "Haven't you caught up with Bo Xilin and Ziad ahead?" ”

Li Sheng stood up and hugged his fists and said: "General, it was too late when the elite cavalry sent to pursue received the news to pursue, they chased for fifty miles overnight and it was already dawn, but they still did not catch up, so they could only return."

Zhao Ziliang asked, "In what direction did they go?" ”

"The pursuing elite cavalry came back and reported that Bo Xilin and Ziad had gone in the direction of the rice country, and now the rice country in the south, the country of Shi and the country of An in the southwest are still under the control of the Great Food Army!"

Wang Can, who was in charge of intelligence, stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, according to the information we have received, Da Shi still has a total of about 4,000 troops in the rice country, the history country and the country of An, and they should all be elite cavalry."

Zhao Ziliang looked down at the map on the desk, his fingers swiped on the map a few times, and he didn't look up and asked, "Where is Cao Lingzhong's department now?" ”

Cao Lingzhong's affairs are best known to Bian Lingcheng, he is the prison army after all, he said: "I am leading the army to sweep the big food army in He Country!" ”

After looking at the map for a while, Zhao Ziliang leaned on the backrest and said, "General Ben is still thinking about intercepting and Bo Xilin on the way back to the Great Food Country, it seems that it is too late!" Now we have a few things to do: first, to appease the people of the Western Regions, after the big cannibals came, they made this place 'white bones in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles', the local people hated the big cannibals to the core, and now my Tang army is here again, this general doesn't want the local people to treat our army and the Great Food Army as equal, Lord Bian, you are the emperor's envoy, and the matter of appeasing the people of the Western Regions is up to you to discuss with the lords of the countries how to deal with it! ”

Although Bian Lingcheng didn't deal with Zhao Ziliang, this was the right thing after all, and he didn't want to deliberately go against Zhao Ziliang at this time, so he agreed: "Well! ”

Lord of the Western Regions

Zhao Ziliang ignored Bian Lingcheng's attitude and continued: "Second, send six thousand light horsemen to follow behind and Bo Xilin to receive Mi Guo, Shi Guo and An Guo!" ”

As soon as Zhao Ziliang's words were finished, the generals in the big tent stood up one after another to ask for their lives, saying that they were willing to lead troops to receive the countries, and Bo Xilin and others were worried that the Tang army was chasing too tightly behind, and they would definitely take away the big food cavalry stationed in Mi Kingdom, Shi Guo and An Guo all the way, and it was impossible to take away the looted property in a hurry, and these looted goods would definitely be left behind, this is a fat and good errand, who is not greedy?

At this time, there was no Anxi cavalry here, and the Anxi cavalry were all taken away by Cao Lingzhong, leaving only the infantry, and it was not possible to use the infantry to pursue and Bo Xilin's big food cavalry, so the Anxi generals did not stand up and ask for their lives.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the generals who stood up to ask for his life, all of them were the generals of Beiting under his command, weighed and weighed it, and said: "Bai Xiaode took two thousand fine horses to receive Mi Guo, servant Gu Huaien took two thousand fine horses to receive Shi Guo, and Li Sheng took two thousand fine horses to receive Anguo!" ”

The three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Huai'en, you have to add one more task, to occupy the Iron Gate Pass in the south of Shi Guo, this Iron Gate Pass is a dangerous place, control it can control the passage from the Zhaowu Kingdom to the south of Tocharo, originally owned by Tocharo, a few days ago the Great Food Army was taken from the hands of the Tocharians, if our army controls the Iron Gate Pass, it can go south to Tocharian at any time." Do you understand? ”

"General, if the Great Cannibal has just withdrawn and the Iron Gate Pass is reoccupied by the Tocharians, what will the last general do?" ”

Zhao Ziliang's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Ben will let you occupy the Iron Gate Pass, no matter who occupies it now, you just have to seize it, don't you understand the military order that General Ben understands so well?" ”

The servant Gu Huaien shrank his neck in fright, and muttered: "The last general is not afraid of causing disputes between the two countries!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "Whether it will cause disputes between the two countries, this is not something you should consider!" Since you have doubts, you should not go on this errand! Xuan Er, you lead two thousand elite horsemen to receive Shi Guo and occupy the Iron Gate Pass, but you can't prohibit the passage of business travelers."

Xuanji stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Take the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to a few people, Li Sheng and Xuan Er were the first to clasp their fists and salute and then turned to leave, Bai Xiaode turned his head to look at the servant Gu Huaien, and then looked at Zhao Ziliang, opened his mouth and wanted to mention the servant Gu Huaien to say a few good words, but he couldn't say it, he could only sigh secretly in his heart, and turned to leave after saluting Zhao Ziliang with a fist.

Bai Xiaode hadn't gone far at this time, he heard a sigh behind him, stopped and turned his head to look, and hurriedly walked back and pulled the servant Gu Huaien to a secluded place and pointed at him, and said with a look of hatred: "You, why do you have to talk too much?" Now you know the consequences of being too talkative, right? ”

The servant Gu Huaien looked aggrieved and said, "I'm afraid that it wasn't for my mouthy general who wouldn't let me take this errand, right?" ”

Bai Xiaode frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Servant Bone Huai'en said: "You are all people around the general, if there is any benefit, the general will naturally think of you first, I am a foreigner, how can I compare with you?" Of course, the general is willing to get closer to you! ”

Bai Xiaode was suddenly furious and scolded angrily: "How can you think so? The general usually treats us equally, and never discriminates against us, don't you turn a blind eye? You say you're a foreigner, am I not a foreigner? ”

Servant Bone Huaien said: "You are the general's personal military captain, and you have been guarding the general for many years, of course the general is close to you!" ”

Bai Xiaode's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stretched out his trembling finger to point at the servant Gu Huaien and said: "If you want to talk about intimacy, in fact, you and I are closer to the general than anyone else, you and I are the general's students, and the relationship between the student and the husband is like a child and a parent in the Central Plains, do you understand?" Do you know the real reason why the general didn't give you this errand? ”

Servant Bone Wynn wondered, "The real reason?" Isn't it the difference between intimacy and alienation? ”

"Fart!" Bai Xiaode was furious, "The real reason why the general canceled your errand is because you have too many thoughts in your heart!" You are a leading general, you actually questioned the commander's military order, no matter who sits in this big tent to command the army, will not tolerate the existence of people like you, and you are still standing here because you are a student of the general, otherwise you would have been dragged out and beheaded for public display, do you understand? And you, as a student of the general, not only do not defend his authority, but dismantle his platform, what do you say you want to do? Is this the proper attitude of a student towards a gentleman? ”

The servant Bone Wynn opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and after a sigh, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

At this time, in the big tent, Gao Shi said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, there are almost no intact houses in the city, if the Chinese army moves to the city, only the palace is the most suitable, but."

Zhao Ziliang understood what Gao Shi meant, this Kangguo Kingdom is the palace of King Kang, and in a sense, it can also be said to be a palace where only princes can live in.

Zhao Ziliang doesn't care about this, this is not the Central Plains, it is a foreign country, even if he stays in the palace, what will happen? and did not live in the palace of Emperor Li Longji, as long as King Kang has no opinion, he is too lazy to these so-called taboos!

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Lord Kang who was standing on the left side, and asked, "Lord Kang, General Ben borrowed a palace room from you to make a trip to the Chinese army, what do you think?" ”

Lord Kang hurriedly stood up and saluted: "What did the general say to borrow?" Although the palaces in the royal palace are not large, there are many of them, and the general can use them as he pleases! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Gao Shi, and said, "Since Lord Kang has agreed, you can do this matter quickly!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang said to the lords of the Zhaowu Kingdoms: "There is nothing for you here, you can go back first, and someone will tell you to enter the city with the army."

The lords of the kingdoms bowed and took their leave, and each returned to his camp, and Bian Lingcheng wanted to consult with the lords about pacifying the people, so he also departed.

After Zhao Ziliang and others left, he said to Dugu Jun: "The war here is generally over, even if there is still a war, it will be a small-scale war, and it will not affect the overall situation." Mr. Trouble wrote a good news to the court for me. At the end of the good news, I also have to ask the imperial court how to deal with the lords of the Zhaowu countries, after all, they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty when the Great Cannibal arrived, and attacked the Anxi Army with the Great Food Army, if they are not dealt with, I am afraid that such things will happen in the future."

Dugu Jun arched his hand and said: "This matter is easy! ”

After speaking, Dugu Jun picked up the brush on the spot and wrote it on the side, and soon finished writing the good news, and presented it to Zhao Ziliang to read, Zhao Ziliang recognized, signed his name and stamped the seal, and after sealing it, he sent three messengers to Chang'an day and night, and was sent to a separate book written by him about the establishment of the capital in the land of Zhaowu and the actual rule here.
