On the afternoon of June 21, Bai Xiaode and Ou Gu Huaien took a team of soldiers and horses to escort the leaders of the three tribes of Gelulu to Zhao Ziliang's Chinese army, and most of the soldiers of the Tang Army and the rescued Anxi Army soldiers who got the news came in a hurry, and the saved Anxi soldiers hated the Qarluq people to the core, if it were not for the Qarlu people to fight against the water, the Anxi army could not have been defeated so badly, although the situation at that time was a stalemate between the middle route army and the main force of the Great Food Army, but the left and right wings, In particular, the right flank had already made a breakthrough and had entered the opponent's camp, and the betrayal of the Qarluqs who had been transferred from the battle caused the main force of the Tang army to collapse immediately, which led to the defeat of the Anxi army.

Looking at the leaders of the three tribes of Qarluq, who were extremely embarrassed, the black and oppressive crowds of the Anxi army in the camp were crowded, and the soldiers rushed forward one after another, and suddenly someone shouted: "Scrape them alive!" ”

"Scrape them!"

"Chop them into pate!"

The soldiers of the Anxi army shouted one after another, and there were more than 13,000 people in the rescued Anxi army, plus the barbarian soldiers of the Anxi and Beiting tribes, a total of more than 34,000 people yelled at the leaders of the three tribes of Gelulu who were escorted over, and the soldiers looked hideous one by one, as if they were not allowed to eat their flesh raw.

In the face of such a loud denunciation, the three leaders of the three tribes of Qarluq were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak on the spot, and they could no longer walk, the soldiers of the Tang Army who escorted them had to raise their arms and drag them forward, and the soldiers of the Beitinghan Navy who were standing on both sides of the passage to maintain order had to put their weapons across their waists and abdomen to block the surging Anxi Army that was constantly crowding forward.

The officers and men of the Anxi Army were excited, and the scene was almost out of control for a while, but the officers and men of the Beiting Army controlled the situation in time and did not cause chaos and casualties, which also benefited from the reorganization of Cao Lingzhong, Zhao Chongyu, Jia Chongjun, Xi Yuanqing and others in the morning and the formulation of a new command system.

The leaders of the three tribes of Gelulu were dragged to a high platform by the Beiting escort soldiers to wait, Zhao Ziliang and several major generals and officials of the Beiting Army all sat on the high platform, Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat, and the other generals and officials sat on both sides. At this time, Cao Lingzhong, Zhao Chongxuan, Jia Chongjun, Xi Yuanqing and others, who had appeased all the soldiers of the Anxi Army, came to see Zhao Ziliang on the high platform.

The generals stood in a row and clasped their fists together and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "I've seen the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Cao Lingzhong: "General Cao doesn't have to be polite, you and I have the same rank, no matter how big or small!" Please be seated! ”

At this time, there was still a chair next to Zhao Ziliang, which was prepared for Cao Lingzhong, although Zhao Ziliang said so, Cao Lingzhong and everyone else didn't think that he and Zhao Ziliang were really inseparable, now Zhao Ziliang was in charge, and Cao Lingzhong was rescued by Zhao Ziliang as a prisoner of the Great Food Army, whether it was Cao Lingzhong himself or others, they all thought that Cao Lingzhong was going to be a head shorter than Zhao Ziliang.

Cao Lingzhong hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to salute: "The general tortured Cao Mouye, Cao Mou is the general of the defeated army, the body of the guilty, today I am fortunate to be rescued by the general and lead the army, and I am alive in the world, what face do I have to sit on an equal footing with the general?" ”

Zhao Ziliang muttered: "The whole process of the battle, General Ben has already heard in detail, the defeat of the Anxi Army this time is not General Cao's fault!" The culprits are the Qarluqs, if it weren't for their rebellion, I'm afraid that it would not be the Anxi army but the Great Food Army that would have suffered a fiasco, and General Cao wouldn't have to take the blame on him! ”

"Cao is really ashamed!" Cao Lingzhong heard Zhao Ziliang say this, so he hugged his fists and walked to Zhao Ziliang and sat down.

Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Chongxuan, Jia Chongjun, Xi Yuanqing and others: "General Ben didn't look down on you because of this, but you yourself are angry, and when the sky falls, there are naturally tall people on top of it, what are you worried about?" However, this also proves that you still have some shame, and you still know etiquette, righteousness and shame! As the saying goes, 'shame and courage', don't you want to find a big cannibal to take revenge? ”

Several people looked at each other, Zhao Chongxuan hesitated for a moment, hugged his fists and asked, "General, I still have a chance to fight with the Great Food Army?" ”

"Although the Great Food Army suffered heavy losses, it was not completely annihilated by our army, and about seven or eight thousand Great Food Army escaped through the pontoon bridge!" After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he pointed to the west direction and said: "Now the commander of the Great Food Army and these Great Food Army are in Henglus City on the other side of the river, and the general will cross the river to attack Henglus City where the Great Food Army is stationed in the near future, but this general led the troops to come this time and his troops are all cavalry, and there is no infantry to attack the city, so I am afraid that the siege of the city will only depend on the Anxi army!" ”

The main force of the Anxi army brought by Gao Xianzhi is 20,000 people, half of the infantry and half of the cavalry, the cavalry was chased and killed by the Great Food Army in the battle and the rout and escape, and there are only more than 4,000 people left, except for the Modao Army who encountered the Great Food Heavy Cavalry during the battle, and the other infantry were almost captured by the Great Food Army when they fled, so there was no loss, and now these people have been rescued, as long as they are given a few days to rest and restore their morale, they can recover their combat effectiveness in a few days, Although the barbarians of Anxi and Beiting were rescued at the same time, these people did not know how to attack the city as well as the Anxi infantry, and if they really wanted to use the barbarians of each department, they could only be cannon fodder and fight.

The generals and colonels of the Anxi Army listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, and they were suddenly excited and excited, they all thought that this defeat was a lifetime of shame, but they didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to use them to attack Henglus City, which was garrisoned by the Great Food Army.

"General, if you attack Henglus City, please use the last general to take the lead, and if the last general can't attack the city, he will come to see you!"

"General, the last general asks for battle, if you don't behead the main general of the Great Food Army, Ziade, and don't bring his head to see the general, even if the last general dies, he will die under the city of Henglus!"

In the face of the generals of Anxi asking for battle, Zhao Ziliang smiled, turned his head to look at Cao Lingzhong, and said: "The combat mission of the Anxi Army and the Great Food Army is actually gone, this time I want to cross the river to attack Henglus City, it is my Zhao Mou's meaning, but I am not an Anxi Jiedu envoy after all, and I have no right to ask the Anxi Army to bear the combat mission of attacking Henglus City, if the Anxi Army is unwilling, Zhao will not force it!" ”

Zhao Hu, who was standing behind Zhao Ziliang, couldn't help but say: "Second uncle, if we don't use the Anxi army to attack the city, we can't use our own cavalry to attack the city!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his arms and said: "Don't say it, General Ben has his own plans for the siege of the city, your task is to pacify the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks, now you go and find the leaders of the various departments, just say that General Ben wants to see them!" ”

Zhao Hu was helpless, so he had to clench his fists and say, "No!" ”

Waiting for Zhao Hu to leave the big tent, Cao Lingzhong said to Zhao Ziliang after thinking just now: "General Zhao, we, the Anxi army generals, are all led by General Zhao to defeat the Great Food Army and rescued from the camp of the Great Food Army, it stands to reason that we should do our best to attack Henglus City, but Cao is not the commander of the troops this time after all, and Cao has no right to agree to this matter, I am afraid that General Gao Xianzhi will have to nod his head in this matter!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Hearing the news of the outpost, General Gao Xianzhi and the others should have withdrawn to the area of Julan City now. In this way, General Ben personally wrote a letter, asking General Cao to personally run and present it to General Gao in person, in which he would have written that he would ask the Anxi Army to assist in attacking Henglus, if General Gao agreed, or asked him to personally command these Anxi armies and direct the siege of the city, if General Gao did not agree, then General Cao was asked to send someone to inform him, as for the main force of the Anxi Army of more than 10,000 people in the camp and the question of the barbarians of the Anxi Division, it is also up to you to decide for yourself the Anxi Protectorate, and the General will not ask! However, this matter must be decided as soon as possible, because the main force of Anxi plus the soldiers and horses of the barbarian tribes in Anxi has a total of more than 20,000 people, and the grain and grass of so many soldiers and horses is not a small amount every day. As for the siege, General Ben will find another way! ”

Cao Lingzhong is also an old and serious person, and he has no hot head to make his own decisions to leave the soldiers and horses here to attack Henglus with the Beiting Army, he nodded and said: "In this way, Cao will personally go and hand over the letter to General Gao, and Cao will definitely try his best to facilitate this matter!" It's just that if it can be done, Cao really doesn't dare to pack a ticket! ”

"General Cao is kind, Zhao has a heart!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, took a piece of white paper from the side of the desk, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink in the inkstone, and then wrote the white paper, and soon wrote a letter, folded the letter paper and put it in the letter, covered it with fire paint, and handed it to Cao Lingzhong.

Cao Lingzhong took the letter and said to Zhao Ziliang: "In this case, without further ado, Cao can leave for Julan City to meet General Gao!" ”

After making preparations, Zhao Ziliang personally sent Cao Lingzhong to the gate of the camp, which can be said to have given enough face, and he returned to the big tent to meet the leaders of the Western Turkic tribes, appeased them, gave them some grain and grass, and let them lead their troops back to their territories tomorrow, after all, this time because of the betrayal of the Qarluqs, not only did the Tang army fail miserably, but their tribes also suffered from the pond fish, and suffered heavy losses, except for the 8,000 people of the Qarluq, the 12,000 people of the other tribes are now only more than 5,000 people, and the loss is more than half, I'm afraid that these tribes won't be able to recover for several years.

After pacifying the leaders of the Western Turks, Zhao Ziliang said to the left and right: "Come on, go and bring all the leaders of the three tribes of Qarluq!" ”

"No!" The left and right said yes, and immediately someone shouted: "Take the leader of the three tribes of Qarluq!" ”

Soon, the soldiers of the Beiting Army escorted the three leaders of Qarlu to the high platform, and the soldiers of the Anxi Army under the stage saw these three people, and immediately scolded again, and some people picked up stones from the ground and threw them at them, smashing them to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Ge Yan and the other three and shouted: "Those who betray never have a good end, that day, you Ge Lulu three clans betrayed my Tang Dynasty to the big cannibals for a little profit, do you know that there is today?" ”

At this moment, Ge Yan and the others also knew that they were afraid that it would be difficult to survive this time, so he said stiffly: "Hmph, in the words of your Tang people, since ancient times, it has been a king and a loser, and today I, Ge Yan, am defeated, and it will fall into the hands of you Zhao Ziliang, and I will kill if I want to kill it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the other two leaders again, and sneered: "It seems that the two of you are also like Ge Yan, an old guy, who knows that you will definitely die?" ”

"Humph! The surname Zhao has a kind of giving us a happy one! ”

Zhao Ziliang sneered, "Don't worry, you can't live if you want to, even if you go to hell, you will regret your betrayal of the Tang Dynasty, because it was your stupidity that harmed the entire Qarlu tribe, before coming, General Ben promised not to kill other innocent Qarluqs in order to get the specific conspiracy between you and the Great Food Army, but General Ben will order everyone of the Qarlu tribe to be scattered throughout the Western Regions as slaves and maids, so that they can't see each other, and there will be no more Qarluq clan in the world from now on!" And the three of you will be punished by the dismemberment of five horses! If the other tribes dare to betray in the future, you and the Qarluqs will be their fate today! Come on, drag them down, and divide the corpses of five horses! ”

Zhao Ziliang's decision can be described as a bad breath for the tens of thousands of Anxi troops present, and everyone shouted: "Okay! Good! Good! Five horses split the corpse, five horses split the corpse! (To be continued.) )
