Zheng San was left by Zhao Ziliang to continue to serve as the chief of the Governor's Mansion and the judge of the logistics of the Fu Qi army, and also managed Zhao Ziliang's caravan of thousands of people, plus the caravan left in Broken Leaf City a few years ago, the size of Zhao Ziliang's caravan has reached more than 5,000 people, these caravan guards used to be proud soldiers on the blood-stained battlefield, but they have now become the guards in Zhao Ziliang's private caravan, if necessary, these can become an iron-blooded army in the blink of an eye, which is also Zhao Ziliang's backhand for the future.

After more than 20 days of trekking, Zhao Ziliang and his entourage finally returned to Chang'an, which had been absent for nearly two years.

When she saw Zhao Ziliang, Chen Qingying cried tears and pear blossoms, the children in her arms have been for several months, and the eldest son Zhao Ziliang is three years old, he can speak, and he can speak clearly, and the family also invited Mr. to teach him to read and write.

Reading and reading at the age of three? Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but shake his head, he always felt that children at this age should play more and should not take on too many learning tasks, but Mr. Teaching was invited, and he couldn't drive people away, so he could just leave it.

Zhao Lei was a little scared, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang, he had been hiding behind his mother Chen Qingying, and stretched out his little head from time to time to look at Zhao Ziliang.

"Call Father!" Chen Qingying hurriedly pulled Zhao Lei out and explained: "This kid hasn't seen you for two years, and he doesn't know you anymore!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took off his belt and handed it to Hu Cong, picked up his robe and squatted down and stretched out his hands to Zhao Lei: "Son, come to my father, hug!" ”

Zhao Lei looked like a tiger, strong and solid, after the initial strangeness and hesitation, he quickly let go, and his calves ran over quickly and threw himself into Zhao Ziliang's arms, shouting: "Father."

"Hahaha・・・・・・ good, good son!" Zhao Ziliang is so happy, two sons and a daughter, and now I finally hear a child called father, and the other two children still can't speak, can you not be happy?

Nie Sanniang couldn't help but smile and said, "Look how happy you are!" ”

Zhao Ziliang laughed: "Why can't you be unhappy? What are we born and died outside the country, and what are we doing in blood-stained robes? Not for the sake of their children and grandchildren? They are the hope of Datang! ”

Holding Zhao Lei, Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Can, Gong Ren, Chen Qing and others standing next to him, and said with a smile: "Are you all okay in the capital?" ”

Several people hurriedly bowed their hands, and Wang Can said: "There is a general who is famous, and everything is smooth in the capital!" The general fought in Hexi to make the Tubo people frightened and shocked, and the imperial court transferred the general back at this time, which was a mistake! ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Sort of, I'm back, it's useless to talk more, let's go in!" ”

Although Hexi is not very far from Chang'an, but the news transmission is not easy after all, Wang Can also use fast horses to report the news or carrier pigeons every time, but not only is it not comprehensive, every time it is a few rough words, it is inevitable that the expression is not clear, and now after Wang Can and several other people have reported in detail about the past two years, Zhao Ziliang has a clear understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China.

In the past two years, the struggle between Li Linfu and the crown prince has become white-hot, and both sides have made great moves, and Li Longji, as the emperor, seems to be very happy to see it, most of the time he does not favor either side, and sometimes supports the weak side, if both sides are at fault, then each side will play 20 boards, but every time it is painless, which invisibly fuels the arrogance of both Li Linfu and the prince.

After saying this, Wang Can said again: "By the way, since last autumn, the Khitan Nu Ji in the north rebelled, and General Wang Zhongsi, the envoy of Shuo Fang Jiedu and the governor of Lingzhou, led the northern expedition, and fought with the Nu Du and the Sanggan River, defeated the Nu Ji Department three times, captured a large number of people and horses, captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, Yaowu Mobei, and returned triumphantly, so not majestic!" At that time, it coincided with the civil strife in the northern Turkic Yehu, and the Bashimi tribe, the Hui tribe and the Qarlu tribe united to kill the Turkic Ashina Bone Khan, and the leader of the Bashi Mi tribe established himself as the Jiechuan Yishi Khan, and the Hui and Qarlu were the left and right Ye Protectors. The emperor wanted to recruit the Usumish Khan, but the Usumish Khan ignored the emperor, and the emperor was furious, and issued an edict to let General Wang Zhongsi send troops to attack the Usumish Khan, and General Wang Zhongsi commanded the army to the north to threaten and deter, so that the troops went to meet, and the Turkic Usumish Khan was afraid and asked General Wang to surrender, but he could not delay, and General Wang soon discovered his plan to delay the army, and immediately implemented a counter-strategy between the Basimi Department, the Hui Department and the Qarlu Department, They made a joint attack on the Usumish Khan, who was defeated and fled westward. And now the Bashi Mi tribe has fallen and Ishhan Khan has sent people to chase after the Usumish Khan, but under the intervention of General Wang Zhongsi, he has caused a dirty feud between him and his former allies Gelulu and Uighur, and the tripartite alliance has been broken, and the Qarluq and Uighur have begun to unite against Basimi! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled after listening to Wang Can's words: "In this way, the northern grassland is really lively now, but something is wrong!" ”

Wang Can and the others were surprised and asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Ziliang held his eldest son Zhao Lei in one hand, touched his chin with the other and said: "As far as I know, General Wang Zhongsi is a loyal, brave and upright person, and a person like him can come up with a plan to use counter-plots between Ba Ximi, Ge Lulu and Hui Hui?" ”

Wang Can nodded and said: "That's true, this plan is indeed not General Wang's idea, last summer, the Holy Lord sent a staff member to General Wang Zhonghe, what is called Li Mi, this Li Mi seems to be a person from the Prince's Mansion before!" ”

"Li Mi? Are you sure it's Li Mi? Zhao Ziliang immediately came to the spirit.

"Yes, it's called Li Mi!"

Zhao Ziliang nodded, "If it is Li Mi who is helping General Wang Zhongsi to give advice, it would not be surprising, Li Mi should not look young, his political talent and strategy can be compared with few people in the world!" ”

Everyone exclaimed: "I didn't expect the general to rely on such a high level for this person!" ”

Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang went to the palace to attend the court meeting, preparing to meet the emperor, but he did not expect to meet an old man who had not been seen for several years outside the palace, this person was the former Anxi soldier and horse envoy, and now the Hedong Jiedu envoy Tian Renwan.

"Lord Tian, why are you in Chang'an? Didn't you serve as a festival envoy in Hedong? ”

Tian Renwan was quite surprised at first when he saw Zhao Ziliang, and then he was overjoyed, "Ah, General Zhao? I'm so glad to see you, oh, the north has not been quiet in the past two years, the imperial court has taken a series of military actions on the grassland, Shuofang Jiedu made General Wang Zhongsi mainly responsible for the military, and this official is responsible for logistics, this time I came to Chang'an to ask for military expenses and raise military food materials, and ask the court for a few generals! ”

Speaking of this, Tian Renwan couldn't help but be curious: "Isn't General Zhao in Hexi passing through the West Sea?" This official heard that this time General Zhao's Xihai County and Longyou Army joined forces to fight the Tubo people for thousands of miles, it's really good, but you are not on the front line, why did you suddenly return to Chang'an? ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the other civil and military officials who participated in the court meeting around him, and said to Tian Renwan: "Your Excellency may be on the road, and you don't know that our dynasty has negotiated a truce with Tubo, and the last general has also been recalled by the Holy Edict to report on his work, and he may have to be idle at home again!" ”

"Oh?" Tian Renwan immediately became interested, and his eyes began to shine when he looked at Zhao Ziliang.

This look made Zhao Ziliang can't help but shiver, he thought that Tian Renwan had that special habit, and hurriedly covered his chest and said carefully: "My lord, what are you looking at?" Don't look at me like that! ”

When Tian Renwan saw Zhao Ziliang's appearance, he immediately patted his head and said, "General, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand!" This official has no other meaning, the general is a peerless general, isn't it a pity to be idle at home? What a waste of good years, the age of the general is the age of making meritorious contributions, is the general so willing to stay at home and accompany his wife and children all day long? ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "My lord's words are to the point, but this matter is not up to me, the emperor asked the last general to come back, and the last general has to come back, let the last general stay at home, and the last general will not be able to go out, and he can't help himself!" ”

Tian Renwan clapped his palms and said, "The Holy One is up to the official to say, since the general has no envoy now, why don't you go to the official?" Don't dare to say anything else, Zuo Wufeng's position is vacant, how about it? ”

The left military envoy is the left wing soldier and horse envoy, and is the third in command of the entire Hedong military and political department, the first leader is of course Tian Renwan, the second in command is the Hedong soldier and horse envoy, the third in command is the left military envoy, and the fourth in command is the right military envoy. Zuo Wufeng is a military general who stands alone, and his military rights are the same as those of the Xihai Governor's Office, but he is more senior than the Xihai Prefecture in terms of official rank, but he does not have the right to manage the place, which is a pure military position.

"This ・・・・・・" Zhao Ziliang didn't know what to say, after all, he had just returned to Beijing, and he hadn't even seen the emperor's face, so it was not suitable to reply to Tian Renwan now.

Tian Renwan thought that he thought that his official position and power were too small, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "How about increasing the number of military envoys?" ”

With the addition of the Datong military envoy, it is different, the Datong military envoy is not only in charge of the Datong army, but also in charge of the military and political affairs of Yunshuo Wei Sanzhou!

Before Zhao Ziliang could speak, Tian Renwan sighed bitterly and said: "The general doesn't know, last year, the Khitan Nu Du rebelled, entered the Guannai to make a rebellion, General Wang Zhongsi defeated the Nu Jun Department three times in the Sanggan River area, and my Hedong soldiers not only did not make contributions, but can only be used as a foil for the Shuo Fang Army, this face is really not good-looking, this is all because I have no generals in the Hedong Army, and now the Hedong Army is full of some wine bags and rice bags, hey, the general should help the officer, how about it?" ”

It turned out that this was the case, the Sanggan River was within the jurisdiction of the Hedong Jiedu envoy, and the Nu Du Department fought over, and the Hedong Army did nothing, but the Shuo Fang Army defeated the Nu Jun Department three times in the Sanggan River under the leadership of Wang Zhongsi, and Tian Renwan, who was the Hedong Jiedu Envoy, did not look good on his face.

When it came to this, Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to say: "Since the adult is so gracious, the last general is naturally no problem, as long as the adult can convince the saint, the last general is willing to go to Hedong to obey the dispatch of the adult!" ”

Tian Renwan was overjoyed, grabbed Zhao Ziliang's hand and said repeatedly: "Okay, the saint is there, the official will go and say, as long as the general agrees!" (To be continued.) )
