Zhao Ziliang rubbed Yang Yuhuan a meal in Taizhenguan, and enjoyed her singing and dancing with Xuanzong, and on the way back met Xuanzong's two younger brothers, Qi Wang Li Fan, Xue Wang Li Ye and the veteran Longwu general Wang Mao Zhong, these people are Xuanzong's hardcore descendants, when Xuanzong defeated Princess Taiping, these people are Xuanzong's right-hand men, and they have the merit of supporting the dragon.

In the face of these princes and veterans who were deeply trusted by Xuanzong, Zhao Ziliang did not dare to slack off, dismounted and saluted: "The two princes and the old general Wang are going to Taizhenguan, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Li Fan, the king of Qi, did not have a very high impression of Zhao Ziliang, thinking that Zhao Ziliang did not take the clan in his eyes because he had some credit, and the things he did in Chang'an a few years ago offended the clan ruthlessly, including him Li Fan, so when Zhao Ziliang saluted him, he put on a face on the spot and twisted his head to the side, as if he didn't see it.

Xue Wang Li Ye is different from Li Fan, he is well versed in human feelings and is sociable, he smiled at Zhao Ziliang and said: "King Qi is in a bad mood, General Zhao don't mind!" I'm just going to Taizhen Temple, General Zhao is going to ······ Get back? ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't mind that Li Fan didn't want to see him, he hated him too much in the capital Chang'an, and there was no more King Qi, he smiled and said: "Exactly, Your Majesty ordered the last general to go to Hedong as soon as possible to take office, and the last general will go back to prepare!" ”

"Oh, I don't know if Your Majesty asked General Zhao to go to Hedong for any duties?"

"Left Wing Soldiers and Horses, Datong Military Envoy".

Li Ye said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty still values General Zhao very much, otherwise he would not have left such an important position to you, General Zhao, do a good job!" I'll go first."

"The two princes and General Wang go slowly!"

After taking the three of them away, Zhao Ziliang shook his head helplessly, got on the horse and said to Brehan and Nur: "Let's go!" ”

When he returned to the villa outside the city, before he entered the door, the housekeeper Wang Ru came over and saluted: "General, are you back?" Two generals came to the house, saying that they were the general's subordinates when they were in Hexi, and they looked a little haggard and embarrassed······".

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang frowned, and thought to himself, could it be that after I left, Liu Gong attacked the generals I promoted in order to consolidate his power? As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, but this is too ugly, right? Besides, Lao Tzu is not dead! Oh yes!

Zhao Ziliang asked with an ugly face, "Do you know what the two of them are called?" ”

"One person is called Zhang Shouyu, and the other person is called Gao Xiuyan."

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he was quite surprised: "Why are they two?" ”

After changing his armor and changing into a regular uniform, Zhao Ziliang came to the reception hall, and when he entered the door, he saw the two of them sitting on the chairs on the east side drinking tea, weren't they Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan?

When the two saw Zhao Ziliang coming back, they immediately put down the teacup and got up to salute, Zhao Ziliang helped the two up, let them sit down, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Is it okay in the Great Fighting Army? Why did General Ben come to Chang'an with the front foot, and you followed with the back foot, and you were so embarrassed? ”

The two looked at each other, Zhang Shouyu said to Zhao Ziliang: "The general doesn't know, since the general was ordered by His Majesty to be imprisoned in the prison, the news quickly spread to Hexi and Xihai, Li Linfu immediately transferred the two of us through the Hexi soldiers and horses, and appointed his cronies to take over the Dadou Army, and later Li Linfu transferred the two of us to Chang'an through the people of the Ministry of War, which has been a few months, at that time the two of us thought that there would be a new errand soon, but I didn't expect to wait for a few months, and the coiling in my hand was also used up, so it was like this, I really had no choice, so I cheekily came to the general to ······."

Zhao Ziliang also knew that he had been on the way to and from Anxi for the past few months, and after the two learned that he was released, he also came to the house because he was not at home.

Zhang Shouyu is the younger brother of the late famous general Zhang Shoujue, it stands to reason that he should have a lot of friends in the army, but Zhang Shouyu has been serving in Hexi, and Zhang Shouyu has also been dead for several years, people go to tea and cool, and now Pei Kuan, who has taken over the Youzhou Festival Envoy, is Li Linfu's person, in order to eliminate Zhang Shouyu's influence in the Youzhou army, of course, Zhang Shouyu was suppressed. And Gao Xiuyan didn't have any backstage at all, and he was also taken down together by Zhang Shouyu.

With a sigh in his heart, Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty's appointment to a certain has come down, and in a few days a certain person will go to Hedong to serve as the left wing soldier and horse envoy and the Datong military envoy, if the two of you don't dislike the position is too low, you can go to Hedong with a certain person, what do you think?" ”

The two looked at each other, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted Zhao Ziliang, and said excitedly: "The two of us are willing to follow the general to Hexi, and from now on, only the general will be the leader!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and asked again, "Where are your family members?" ”

"They have all brought Chang'an, and now they live in hotels in the city."

Zhao Ziliang knew that the life of these two families was only afraid that it would be difficult, Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan were obviously not people who would make money, and their sources of income depended on a little military salary and subsidies, and they traveled long distances from Hexi to Chang'an, and lived in Chang'an, where the consumption level was the highest in the country, for several months, plus they had to raise some followers, and a little savings were afraid that they would have been used up long ago, so he beckoned to Wang Ru, the housekeeper standing next to him, and whispered in his ear: "Pay 10,000 yuan from the account room, divide it into two parts, and send it over."

Wang Ru promised: "No! ”

After a while, Wang Ru came over with two red envelopes, Zhao Ziliang took it, and said to the two: "General Ben will leave in five days, so you only have a few days to prepare. If you don't plan to take your family to Hedong together, buy a house in the city and leave it for daily use, if you are ready to take your family to Hedong together, prepare horses and carriages, this road is far away, we can ride horses, but the family members can't stand the long-distance bumps, let them be comfortable in the carriage, take it! ”

The two were so moved that they almost cried, they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it, Zhao Ziliang patted them on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't say anything, let's go back!" ”

"No!"

On the tenth day of November in the second year of Tianbao, Zhao Ziliang set off from Chang'an to Hedong to take up his post, Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan's orders have come down, and the specific duties should be appointed in Hedong, the two of them each brought 20 people to the subordinates, and the family was also taken away, Zhao Ziliang only left a few family members and Hu slaves to guard the two houses inside and outside the city, and took away all the children and other servants of the family, so that the family could be together for a long time.

Some close friends saw them off outside the city, and Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying smiled at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Poor Dao is a person who cultivates the Tao, and he always adheres to good thoughts in his heart, but the general is a murderous person, outsiders will definitely not think that the two of us can become close friends!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't say that other people don't believe it, Ziliang can't imagine that he will become friends with the Dao Chief!" ”

Taizhen Daoist Yang Yuhuan said: "The general is about to embark on a new journey again, I hope the general will take care of himself, and the poor Dao is looking forward to his reunion with the general next year!" ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and said: "If the Taoist chief wants to go out to relax, you can go to Hedong, Ziliang will definitely sweep the bed and wait, and personally take the Taoist chief to appreciate the picturesque rivers and mountains and beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty."

Yang Yuhuan nodded: "Okay, I will have to bother the general at that time!" ”

Next, Zhao Ziliang said goodbye to some former colleagues and subordinates one by one, and then took Hu Cong's family to embark on the road to Hedong.

Zhao Ziliang and his entourage walked Tongguan, crossed the Yellow River, passed through Puzhou, Jinzhou, and Luzhou, lasted more than 20 days, and arrived at Taiyuan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, on the second day of December, and met Tian Renwan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu.

Tian Renwan was very happy with Zhao Ziliang's brought, and personally took the civil and military officials of the Jiedu Embassy to meet him outside the city of Taiyuan, this kind of courtesy made Zhao Ziliang flattered, and secretly reminded himself that he could not be pampered and arrogant, and he should report and ask for instructions from time to time.

Among the officials and generals who greeted him, Zhao Ziliang saw Guo Ziyi, who wrote a letter to Guo Ziyi before he escorted Ashina Xin to Anxi, recommending him to serve in Hedong, and he didn't know how Tian Renwan arranged the specific duties.

Taiyuan is the starting place of the Li Tang Dynasty and the place of Longxing, so the power of the Li Tang clan in Taiyuan is not ordinarily large, and the Cui family's base camp as one of the seven great families is also here.

After a pleasantry, Zhao Ziliang introduced Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan to Tian Renwan: "Dashuai, this is Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan, when the last general was in Hexi, they were the subordinates of the last general, they were all brave and good at fighting, after the last general left Hexi, they were squeezed out by Li Linfu's people in Hexi, and they were taken off their positions, and they were idle in Chang'an for three or four months. ”

The two hurriedly saluted Tian Renwan: "The last general has seen the handsome!" ”

Tian Renwan hopes that the more talents in his hands, the better, and is very happy that Zhao Ziliang can bring Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan to Hedong, after all, these two people performed very well in the battle with Tubo, and were promoted by Zhao Ziliang from a battalion-level lieutenant all the way to a military envoy and deputy envoy of the first army, which shows that the two are also extraordinary.

Tian Renwan smiled and helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the two generals can come to Hedong, and I have two more fierce generals in Hedong!" Come, all of you come with me to the mansion, the mansion has prepared a banquet, just waiting for you to come! ”

The family members were arranged to live in the post house, Zhao Ziliang and a few others followed Tian Renwan to eat and drink in the Jiedu Embassy, and just came to the post house to wash up, Zhao Ziliang listened to the housekeeper Wang Ru reported: "General, General Guo Ziyi is asking to see you outside the door!" ”

"Oh? Let him in! Zhao Ziliang immediately commanded after hearing this.

"No!"

Wang Ru quickly brought Guo Ziyi in, and when Guo Ziyi saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately bowed down and said, "Ziyi meets the general!" ”

"Get up, all such big people come, why do you bow down to people at every turn. Come, let's sit down and talk, Steward Wang, and ask someone to bring tea."

"No!" (To be continued.) )
