On the morning of the next day, the king of Shiguo, Mo Heji, hurried to the outside of Hengros City with a small number of men and horses to hand over with Fumeng Lingcha, and since then Hengros City has become the northernmost military town of Shiguo.

After completing the handover of Hengros City, Fumeng Lingcha led his troops to return to the east, all the way along the cities occupied by the five crossbow lost Bi tribes such as Shui Jian City, Julan City, and Ashi Burai City to Broken Leaf City, at this time, the cities occupied by these five crossbow lost Bi tribes have all surrendered, and the army of Fumeng Lingcha opened the city gate when it arrived, and the tribes Dagan or Tutun personally went outside the city to greet each other.

On the first day of the ninth month, Fumeng Lingcha led his army back to Broken Leaf City, and completed the rendezvous with Gai Jiayun's main army in Broken Leaf City.

Fumeng Lingcha took Zhao Ziliang, Gao Xianzhi and others to meet Gai Jiayun in the big tent of the military camp outside the city, and described the entire long-distance raid.

After listening to Fu Meng Lingcha's report, Gai Jiayun asked: "Fu Meng, the battle report you sent someone has already read it, and the soldiers and horses have also read it, and both the commander and Tian think that the battle report is very well written and detailed and vivid, as if you were in the scene, this battle report was not written by you, right?" ”

Fu Meng Lingcha was a little embarrassed, and said quite embarrassed: "Dashuai, Lord Tian, you all know that I am a rough person, where can I write that kind of battle report?" The battle report was written by Zhao Ziliang! ”

Gai Jiayun was quite surprised, looked at Zhao Ziliang, and asked, "I don't want Ziliang to have such literary talent, Ziliang can be famous?" Where did you come from? ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Dashuai, the last general has only studied private school for a few years, and his family has been farming for generations!" ”

Gai Jiayun's face turned cold when he heard this, his smile disappeared, and he waved his hand and said, "I see, okay, you go back first, and come back tomorrow to discuss matters!" ”

Zhao Ziliang saw that Gai Jiayun was like this. Where don't you know that Gai Jiayun dislikes his humble background and has no fame? However, this era is also an era of fighting for family history, and speaking low is a great disadvantage in itself.

After returning the 600 soldiers and horses to the king of Bakhana, Zhao Ziliang returned to his camp with more than 200 of his men, and the camp was now in charge of the marching Sima Li Wentong.

"Welcome the general back to the camp!" Li Wentong and Huo Kan and the others saluted Zhao Ziliang together with the infantry generals and colonels who stayed behind with the main army.

Zhao Ziliang dismounted and said: "Let's be exempt, after I led the team away, what happened?" ”

Li Wentong shook his head and said, "No, everything is going well, there are not many defenders in Broken Leaf City." The main force of the army entered the city on the second day! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked as he walked: "By the way, how is that African?" ”

Li Wentong and the others looked puzzled, "Africans? ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to see the reaction of Li Wentong and others, and immediately understood, and explained: "It's a African, and African-Africa means 'the sun is scorching', it's very hot there, so the people there are very dark, and I asked about the black man Noor." How is he doing now? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that Li Wentong was very angry when he talked about Nur, and he complained: "General, the ・・・・・・ black man you captured back. By the way, his name is Noor, you don't know, he's just a rice bucket. He eats twenty people's meals at every meal, and he sleeps when he is full. Eat when you're full! ”

But Huo Kan smiled: "It's no wonder, he is locked in a cage, he can't do anything, and he can only sleep outside of eating and drinking!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to everyone: "This time we brought back a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, plus the last seizure, the total number is only a lot, Zheng San, you and Li Wentong will count these cattle, sheep and horses and find a pasture to graze, don't be hungry and thin." In addition, there are a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, armor, bows and arrows and other trophies, the worn-out weapons, armor, bows and arrows are sent to Fu Kun's workshop, what can be repaired will be sent to repair, and what can not be repaired will be re-cast, fur and other trophies are stored first, and then sold or kept for the winter for the soldiers to spend the winter, the captured gold, silver and jewelry are counted, and after a few days, the Japanese generals will distribute rewards and pensions to the soldiers according to the size of their merits! Let's go our separate ways, Li Wentong, and you send someone to take me to that Noor."

Li Wentong and Zheng San hurriedly agreed: "No! ”

Zhao Ziliang was led by a soldier to one of the tents, and saw the giant Nur in a cage made of logs, where he was lying and snoring, and the sound of snoring made people's eardrums ach.

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but say: "Hey, this snoring is not small, can you sleep at night?" ”

The soldier who led the way complained: "Isn't it, in the first two days his snoring was so noisy that the whole camp couldn't sleep, and he woke up in the morning with dark circles under his eyes, but after a few days he got used to it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang saw that Nuer was sleeping so well in the cage, this cage was too big, and he could bask in the sun, which was really enjoyable, and this guy's heart was really big enough, so he pointed at Nur and said, "Wake him up!" ”

"No!" The soldier immediately stepped forward and slapped the wooden pillar and shouted, "Hey, wake up, wake up・・・・・・"

No matter how much he screamed or how noisy he was, Nur just didn't wake up, and he was annoyed by the noise and waved his hands and scolded in his sleep, and everyone looked at each other. Zhao Ziliang squatted down and looked at Nuer for a while, and exclaimed, "Yo, can't you wake up?" Who, go to the river and bring a bucket of river water! ”

"No!" The soldier said yes and quickly ran away.

After a while, the soldier walked back with a bucket of river water, and Zhao Ziliang waved his head at Nur, "Splash, splash it on him, see if he still wakes up!" ”

"No!" The soldier agreed, and with a bucket of water, he poured out a bucket of cold and biting river water on Noor's body, which was melted by the year-round snow on the Tianshan Mountains, and although it was August and the temperature was still very high, the river was extremely cold, and where could it be tolerated on people?

A bucket of ice water was poured down, and Nur, who was asleep, suddenly jumped up and screamed.

In view of his ferocity, except for Zhao Ziliang, the rest of the people were so frightened that they retreated again and again.

Nur bared his teeth and vented his ferocity for a while, but when he saw Zhao Ziliang clearly, he still stopped, and shouted in unfamiliar Chinese: "General Tang, if you have the ability, let me out and fight with me for three days and three nights!" ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help pouting. "I don't have time to delay work with you here, I just ask you, do you surrender to me?"

Nuer gasped for breath in his nostrils, like a cow panting, he stared at Zhao Ziliang fiercely and said coldly: "You killed my master and want me to surrender to you?" Dream! ”

Zhao Ziliang sneered: "I can't imagine that you, a black barbarian, are still a little loyal, but I think you are living too comfortably this day." Chu Ge, send someone to build a dense tent, make a cage two sizes smaller than this, and put him in a small cage. Then carry the cage into the impermeable tent, and send people to guard the surroundings, but no matter how much he roars and howls inside, no one is allowed to talk to him, and if one person says even one word, he will be killed! Also, just give him a steamed bun and a bowl of water every day! ”

Everyone was full of doubts, and Chu Ge was no exception. He still agreed: "No! ”

On the morning of 2 September, the generals discussed the Chinese army's tent at Gai Jiayun.

There are only the generals of the Tang Army in the big tent, and the armies of Shiguo, Shiguo, and Bahanna have all returned one after another yesterday, and they are on their way back at this time. And Mohe Dagan was also in his camp at this time, and he did not receive a notice to come here, and the security and defense of Broken Leaf City was taken over by the Tang Army.

Gai Jiayun saw that the generals were almost all here, so he said, "Everyone is here, right?" Then let's discuss it now. Today, I have brought you here mainly to reward you for your contributions in this war, and the commander has the right to directly reward and appoint the generals below the town guard and the military envoys, so today is mainly to reward the town guard envoys and the generals below the military envoys. As for the town guard envoys and the meritorious envoys of various armies, the commander has the right to recommend, but he does not have the right to directly appoint, so he has to wait for the appointment of the imperial court.

Well, in this war, the generals below the town guard envoy and military envoy who made the most meritorious contributions were Zhao Ziliang, the city guard envoy, where is Zhao Ziliang? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The end will be!" ”

Although Zhao Ziliang's background is a little low, Gai Jiayun still looks at Zhao Ziliang differently, after all, not everyone can make Zhao Ziliang's achievements under such a humble background, these credits are definitely not earned by inviting guests to dinner and giving gifts, but the hard work and real achievements.

Gai Jiayun arrived: "Promote Zhao Ziliang to General Ningyuan under the fifth grade!" Thirty brocades, ten rare furs, and two hundred acres of fertile land! ”

"Thank you, General!"

From the guerrilla general under the sixth rank to the general Ning Yuan under the fifth grade, it is equivalent to being promoted by two levels in a row, which is not bad, but with Zhao Ziliang's merits in this war, it is enough to be promoted two levels in a row, Zhao Ziliang is also quite satisfied with this, which shows that although Gai Jiayun looks down on people who speak lowly, he is still fair as a superior person, and he has not erased Zhao Ziliang's merits, as for the reward or something, Zhao Ziliang really doesn't care much, his capture in the war is already very rich, and he doesn't care about this reward at all, However, 200 meters of fertile land is not bad.

After Zhao Ziliang stepped aside, Gai Jiayun shouted again: "Gao Xianzhi! ”

"The last general!" Gao Xianzhi looked a little excited and stood up and saluted.

"Promote you to the rank of Ranger General, and reward you with twenty brocades, ten rare furs, and one hundred acres of fertile land!"

Gao Xianzhi thanked loudly: "Thank you, General!" ”

Next, Gai Jiayun rewarded more than a dozen generals in a row, including Zhao Ziliang and Gao Xianzhi, a total of eight people were promoted, and the others were rewarded in other aspects of material and land products, but there were no gold, silver and jewelry, and the general had captured enough gold, silver and jewelry in the battle, so Gai Jiayun did not reward these things.

General Ning Yuan, Ranger General, etc., these are miscellaneous generals, but also military ranks, they have no real power, if they want to lead the troops, they must hold specific military positions, but in the army, the higher the military rank, the higher the treatment, this thing is the same as the title, most of the military positions must be held by the corresponding military ranks, and only high military ranks have always held low military positions, and there are no low military ranks to hold high military positions, so military ranks are also a necessary condition for military promotion.

After the reward was completed, the generals thanked Gai Jiayun again, Gai Jiayun was also very happy, this battle can be described as a complete victory, the Tang army did not lose much, and almost completely wiped out the soldiers and horses of Tuhuo Xian and Erwei, his contribution in this war is also very large, if nothing else, wait for next spring to go to the capital to report on his work and sacrifice prisoners, he can get promoted.

"Don't be discouraged if you don't get promotions and rewards, there will be opportunities in the future. Come on, go and prepare a banquet, Ben Shuai wants to drink happily with the generals! Gai Jiayun laughed and ordered the servants to prepare.

"No!"

Under the signal of Gai Jiayun, the generals sat on both sides one after another, naturally people who had a good relationship and were familiar with each other, Zhao Ziliang gave Fu Meng Lingcha a color, and Fu Meng Lingcha nodded without a trace after seeing it.

When the wine and meat were served, everyone was eating and drinking, and while chatting, Fu Meng Lingcha asked: "Dashuai, I don't know what Dashuai will do with Broken Leaf City?" Did the Metropolitan Protectorate send troops to garrison here? ”

Hearing this, Gai Jiayun put down the leg of mutton and knife in his hand, and said: "This matter is still being considered, if I send troops to camp here, is it a little distrustful of Mohe Dagan?" Could he have something in mind? But if we hadn't sent troops to camp here, it would have been a bit of a redundancy! ”

Fu Meng Lingcha said: "What the marshal said is extremely true, the last general thinks that our army forces can not all withdraw to the east of the Pamir Plateau, the concerns in the marshal's heart, the last general and others also understand, after all, Mohe Dagan is resolutely on the side of my Tang Dynasty in this war, we have decided and should also consider his feelings, but the last general thinks that we must re-rule Broken Leaf City, at least garrison in Broken Leaf City, as for Mohe Dagan, we can give him some supplements in other aspects to calm his dissatisfaction, in addition, Moheda is a good person, and the general always feels ・・・・・・."

Gai Jiayun saw that his husband Meng Lingcha couldn't go on when he said this, and immediately understood that he had scruples in his heart, so he said: "Okay, what do you mean, Ben Shuai understands, come on, come on, everyone will drink together!" ”

The generals on the left and right sides picked up the wine cup and got up together and said to Gai Jiayun: "I'll wait for a toast together!" ”

"Good, good・・・・・・" Gai Jiayun's face was full of joy and joy.

After the banquet, the generals went back to the camp and dispersed, and Fumeng Lingcha, Zhao Ziliang and Gao Xianzhi had just walked out of the big tent not far away, and they were caught up by Gai Jiayun's Hu Cong, "General Fumeng, please stay, and the marshal please turn back!" ”

Fu Meng Lingcha understood that this was Gai Jiayun looking for him to say what he hadn't finished before, so he said to Zhao Ziliang and Gao Xianzhi: "You two go with so-and-so!" ”

"No!"

The three of them returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Gai Jiayun waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, you all sit down, Fumeng, there are no outsiders here, Ben Shuai hesitated when he saw you before, is there something that is difficult to say because of the large number of people, now you can say it!" ”

Fumeng Lingcha immediately said: "Dashuai, the last general and others think that Mo He Dagan is too unreliable, as soon as you look at this person's face, you know that this person is born against the bones, maybe one day this person will rebel against our dynasty when he is full-fledged, so the last general and others think that we not only want to send troops to be stationed in Broken Leaf City, but also not let us become ten surnamed Khan, our Datang can support another person to be a ten surnamed Khan, let this person have some soldiers and horses, Mohe Dagan will definitely be dissatisfied, what we Datang have to do is to let them attack each other and consume each other's strength, When the time is almost up, my Datang is sending troops to clean up the mess! ”

Gai Jiayun listened to Fu Meng Lingcha's words, couldn't help touching the long beard on his chin, and after pondering for a while, he said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but it is not easy to do this thing. You say that whoever is the Khan with the ten surnames is beneficial to my Tang Dynasty, and can also make him and Mo Heda incompatible? ”

Fu Meng Lingcha said: "Ashina Xin, the son of Ashina Huaidao!" ”

Gai Jiayun's eyes flashed, and he nodded lightly: "It is indeed a good candidate, this matter should be considered in detail." Alright, you guys go back first! ”

"The last general will wait for his farewell!" (To be continued.) )
