Although he thought of this, Zhao Ziliang was not sure, he thought for a while, and then tentatively said: "General Fumeng's visit to Wangcheng this time is not related to the crusade against the Turgish rebellion?" ”

Feng Changqing was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said nothing.

When Zhao Ziliang saw his look, he was sure that his conjecture must be correct, so he smiled and said: "Forget it, since Brother Feng refuses to say, it is inconvenient for Zhao to ask, come on, Zhao will give Brother Feng another drink!" ”

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhao Ziliang said again: "Brother Feng, I don't know where General Fumeng is now?" When will it be able to turn around? ”

"Of course it's in the palace, but when I can turn around, it's not for the guards like me to know!"

Zhao Ziliang thought about it in his conscience, and thought that since he didn't know when Fumeng Lingjing would return to Shule Town, it would be better to go to Shule Town first, negotiate with Dugu Jun, who joined the army, and ask Dugu Jun to allocate ordnance and materials to defend the city.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Ziliang immediately said goodbye to Feng Changqing and quickly rushed to Shule Town with his guards. When he arrived in Shule Town in the afternoon, it was still early, Zhao Ziliang took people to live at the post station, settled the guards, and only took four guards to the yamen of the town guard mansion to ask to see Dugujun, who joined the army.

"My lord, Zhao Ziliang, the lord of Tuoyun Castle, wants to see you!" An official reported to Dugu Jun.

Dugu Jun is a civil official, with a long beard, a thin face, but there is a bit of cunning in his expression, he listened to the report of the official, frowned and said in surprise: "Zhao Ziliang, the lord of Tuoyun Fort? Is it Zhao Ziliang who killed seven generals in a row? ”

The official said: "It's him!" ”

"He's not in Toyun Castle, why did he come to Lord Ben?"

The official reminded: "My lord, in the last battle of Tuoyun Fort, you must have lost weapons, bows and arrows, city defense equipment, and materials, and the last time you were ready to allocate it, you received a message from the Chinese envoy Bian Lingcheng, and detained those things!" ”

After being reminded by the official, Dugujun immediately remembered, "Yes, there is such a thing!" ”

He said again: "I don't understand, why does the Lord here have trouble with a school captain, not to mention the Anxi Protectorate, just say that this Shule Town has more people with higher ranks and military ranks than Zhao Ziliang, why does Lord Bian only want to detain Zhao Ziliang's grain, grass and ordnance?" As far as I know, this Zhao Ziliang and Master Bian don't seem to have any grievances, which is really incomprehensible! ”

The official smiled: "My lord, isn't this obvious? I think that Zhao Ziliang was promoted by General Fumeng, and Lord Bian and General Fumeng have always been at odds. Moreover, Zhao Ziliang didn't know whether he really didn't know Lord Bian's preferences or deliberately pretended not to know, and he didn't even send a penny to Lord Bian to take care of it, no wonder Lord Bian greeted you and withheld the ordnance and food for Tuoyun Fort."

Dugu Jun patted his head, "Yes, I'm afraid it's true!" ”

The magistrate asked, "Do you want to see him?" ”

Dugu Jun shook his head and said, "Do you think it's appropriate for Lord Ben to see him now?" After seeing him, he asked Lord Ben for food, grass, ordnance, and equipment to defend the city, did Lord Ben give it or not? ”

The official arched his hand and said: "The villain understands, the villain will go and tell Zhao Ziliang, saying that you are sick, and it is inconvenient to meet guests!" ”

"Well, go ahead, go ahead!"

Zhao Ziliang and the others waited outside the town guard mansion, and waited for half an hour before they saw the official who joined the army Dugujun come out, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This lord, how is it?" ”

The official shook his head and said, "Lord Dugu is in poor health, and it is not suitable to see guests, Lord Zhaobao, please go back!" ”

After that, the official turned around and was about to go back, Zhao Ziliang thought to himself, it was not easy to come to Shule Town, where was he willing to leave so easily, and since Dugujun was on duty in the town guard mansion, how could he be ill? What is the value of being a government official when you are sick? Isn't this an excuse to shirk it?

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly grabbed the officer: "My lord, go slowly, Zhao still has something to ask the adult, please speak here!" ”

Pulling the official to the side, Zhao Ziliang quietly stuffed him with a brocade box, and when the official saw this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stuffed it into his sleeve quietly, looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Zhao, what are you here for, I know!" Aren't you here to ask for ordnance and food? I also know why the town guard mansion has not sent it for a long time, but I can't say more, I can only say that Lord Dugu does not want to allocate grain, grass and ordnance to Lord Zhaobao, it is really a last resort, someone said hello, Lord Dugu can't afford to offend, and I can't help but listen! The official can only say so much, and the rest can only rely on Lord Zhao to think about it himself, the official will take the first step and leave! ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, the official had already returned to the town guard mansion, and it was too late to stop. He could only turn and walk back, with four guards leading his horse behind him.

Zhao Ziliang walked along the street, he thought about the words of the official just now, someone greeted Dugu Jun and didn't let Dugu allocate weapons and food for himself? This person should be in Shule Town, not in Anxi Dadu Protectorate, after all, he is just a small Zhaowu lieutenant and a Tuoyun Fort Lord, not a big man, and those adults in Anxi Dadu Hufu are only afraid that they will not look down on their little Zhaowu captain! And he was promoted all the way from a chief to the lord of Tuoyun Fort and the captain of Zhaowu, only a few months, during which he didn't seem to offend anyone, if there really is, then this person can only be in Shule Town, and can greet Dugu Jun, who joined the army, Dugu Jun can't offend the other party, there are only two people in Shule Town, one of them is Fumeng Lingcha, and the other is the envoy Bian Lingcheng.

Zhao Ziliang thought to himself, he was promoted by Fumeng Lingjing, and Fumeng Lingjing should not embarrass himself in terms of ordnance and food, so he can only be the Chinese envoy Bian Lingcheng!

Zhao Ziliang served in the army in Shule Town, and he has some understanding of the military and political officials in the entire Shule area, after all, he is serving here, and he doesn't know the military and political affairs here, so how can he get mixed up? In his previous life, he also had an understanding and study of Bian Lingcheng, and this Bian Lingcheng was not a good stubble.

In the previous life, Zhao Ziliang had studied the life of this person, and the cooperation between Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi in the early days was harmonious, but after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, there was a rift in the relationship between the two, and Bian Lingcheng, a eunuch, slandered Xuanzong, and Xuanzong then issued an edict to kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, and Bian Lingcheng was not only slanderous, but also the person who executed the killing of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing. Bian Lingcheng is a lieutenant envoy, what is a lieutenant envoy? It's a messenger from the palace, a eunuch! It can also be interpreted as the emperor is a personal envoy, and in the words of later generations, he is the presidential envoy!

Although the lieutenant envoy has no right to command the army, because Bian Lingcheng is from the palace, as the emperor's envoy, even a general like Fumeng Lingjing has to bow his head in front of Bian Lingcheng.

It is precisely because he knows that there is such a person as Bian Lingcheng in Shule Town, and Zhao Ziliang has also studied this person, so he doesn't know what attitude to use to face Bian Lingcheng, so he has never officially visited Bian Lingcheng.

It should come, but it still comes after all, it seems that you can't hide, and it is imperative to see Bian Lingcheng, otherwise Dugujun will not allocate ordnance and food, and more than 600 people up and down Tuoyun Fort will eat and drink?

Walking and walking, Zhao Ziliang was thinking about Bian Lingcheng's affairs, but suddenly heard someone shouting in surprise: "Brother Zhao, why did you come to Shule Town?" ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he looked up and saw that it was Bi Sichen who called him in front of him, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "General Bi!" Ziliang was about to go to the meeting, but he didn't want to meet here."

Bi Sichen appeared with joy, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhao Ziliang to turn around and leave, saying as he walked: "That's just right, there is a restaurant not far ahead, Brother Zhao is here today, we must let Bi do his best to be a landlord!" ”

In the restaurant, Zhao Ziliang and Bi Sichen clinked glasses again and again, and after three rounds of wine, Zhao Ziliang said his intention this time.

After hearing this, Bi Sichen was furious and scolded: "A certain family understands, it must be the ghost of Ling Cheng over there, this person loves money like life, and often asks officials and generals for money!" ”

Zhao Ziliang wondered: "But Zhao has no grudges with the adults over there, why did he do this?" ”

Bi Sichen sneered: "This matter is not simple? Brother Zhao, you were promoted by General Fumeng, and General Fumeng has always been on bad terms with Bian Lingcheng, and Brother Zhao, you are only afraid that you haven't visited that eunuch since you became the lord of Tuoyun Fort, right? You haven't sent him any money, have you? ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "No, Tuoyun Fort has a lot of affairs, since the defeat of the army of the Tuqi Shi people, Tuoyun Fort is in ruins, I can't wait to come here for two days, how can I have time to make a special trip to see Bian Lingcheng?" ”

Bi Sichen thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhao, I don't think it's as good as this, you go directly to General Fumeng for this matter and let the general come forward, so that you don't have to look at Bian Lingcheng's face, and you don't have to clash with him!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "I understand what Brother Bi means, you are for my good, I thank Brother Bi, but those of us who are subordinates can't always make trouble for the general, if we encounter a little bit of something, go to the general, not only will it bring trouble to the general, but also it will seem that I, Zhao Ziliang, am incompetent." Besides, let the general come forward, it is easy to directly let the general and Bian Lingcheng have a conflict, if it is just us and Bian Lingcheng are unhappy, the general still has room to turn, if because of me, let the general and Bian Lingcheng conflict, this is my sin! ”

Bi Sichen sighed when he heard this: "Brother Zhao, I really don't know what to say!" In that case, then you go and see Bian Lingcheng, if General Fumeng has any misunderstanding about Brother Zhao, I will explain it to the general for you! ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Bi!" ”

Bi Sichen waved his hand and said, "Hey, thank you?" Without you, Brother Zhao, I can't live until now, the grace of saving my life, even if I repay it with my life, I should repay it with my life, let alone this little thing? ”
