After capturing Mo Ying, Zhao Hu quickly sent people to report to Zhao Ziliang, and at the same time led people to search the whole city overnight, Henglus City covers a small area, only equivalent to a small town in later generations, and searched all the houses in less than half of the night, rescuing more than 2,000 Shiguo residents and more than a dozen caravan personnel who stayed here and did not have time to leave.

On August 23rd, at dawn, the order in Henglus has stabilized, the rescued residents of Henglus City have all gone home to settle down after receiving a month's rations, and more than a dozen caravans trapped here have also been placed in a large abandoned mansion at this time, their goods and property have all been confiscated by the big cannibal, and now most of these belongings are in the warehouse, but Zhao Hu was ordered by Zhao Ziliang to take care of all the property left by the big cannibal, so these goods and property cannot be easily returned to them, These caravans had no goods and money, and could not return home, so they could only continue to plead with Zhao Hu, hoping that he would return the goods and property to them.

In the city lord's mansion, Zhao Hu is arranging for the soldiers to clean up, and after a while, Zhao Ziliang and the high-level leaders of the Tang army and the leaders of various departments will arrive, and this place must be cleaned cleanly, and the objects must be visited neatly.

At this time, a soldier walked in and reported to Zhao Hu with a fist: "Captain, the leaders of the dozen or so caravans are here again, they want to see you!" ”

Zhao Hu frowned and waved his hand: "Let them in!" ”

"No!"

After a while, the soldier led more than a dozen people of all ages dressed in various colors and walked in, and these people saluted Zhao Ziliang in different languages and postures: "I'll wait to see the general!" ”

"Ahem!" Zhao Hu pretended to be an old man, put his hands behind his back, and said to the caravan leaders: "What is the matter with your stewards coming to the City Lord's Mansion?" ”

One of the leaders of the Han caravan bowed and said: "General, we have been trapped here for nearly a month, and the big cannibals have robbed us of our goods and belongings. ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately turned his face and scolded angrily: "I think you old thing is old and confused, right? Your goods and belongings have been stolen by the great cannibals, and you go to the great cannibals to ask for them! But you came to me, and I owe you or robbed you? It's really unreasonable, come on, send off guests! ”

The leader of the Han caravan hurriedly bowed and said: "Don't don't, don't, the general is angry, it's the old boy who said the wrong thing, the little old man should be beaten, he should be beaten!" ”

As he spoke, the leader of the Han caravan slapped himself several times in a row, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that his left and right cheeks were swollen. Seeing him like this, Zhao Hu's anger in his heart also disappeared a little, and his face looked a little better.

The old man said again: "That's the case, Xiao Lao'er and the others didn't take away the property and goods that were snatched from us when they heard that the big cannibal escaped, so many goods and property should have been captured by the generals under the general's command, so I also asked the general to help send someone to check it anyway, if I can really find it and return it to me, etc., I will have a good reward!" ”

The other dozen or so caravan leaders also echoed in their hearts, saying that there would definitely be a good reward.

Zhao Hu had already been instructed by Zhao Ziliang to protect the seized property and materials, where would he dare to easily return the seized things to these people, even if these people's goods and property were among the seized property and materials, he would not be able to be the master, once Zhao Ziliang was investigated afterwards, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face when he stretches out his hand, Zhao Hu saw that these people were all extremely humble, and they were all accompanied by smiling faces, and he didn't want to give these people too much face, so he had to say: "Your matter is already known to the captain of the school, the captain of the school doesn't know where you got the news, and even the captain of the school doesn't know whether there are your goods and property among the seized materials, how do other people know?" However, the lieutenant will definitely pay attention to your affairs, and you will register the list of lost goods and property, the customs clearance documents issued by the government, and your own passport, and the lieutenant will send someone to check it! After you have registered, you can go back, and if there is news in a few days, the captain will send someone to inform you and wait."

Zhao Hu's words made these old rivers and lakes unable to tell whether he was really fooling them, or really preparing to send someone to investigate, if he just fooled them, there was no need to let them bring the list of goods and customs clearance documents and passports for registration, but they didn't believe that Zhao Hu would return the goods and property to them so easily, you must know that this is a lot of money, no one is not tempted, could this young lieutenant really return the goods and property to them?

However, Zhao Hu's words had already come to this point, and they couldn't get an inch anymore, so they took out the list of goods, customs clearance documents and passports one by one and followed the soldiers next to them to register.

The leaders of the caravan sighed one by one after coming out of the city lord's mansion, they were also unlucky, they had just come to Henglus City a month ago, some of them came from Chang'an with goods, ready to go to Da Shi and Fu La, and some were carrying goods from Da Shi and Fu La, ready to go to Chang'an to sell, but they were all besieged in the city by the sudden big food army on the same day, and after the big food army entered the city, they were imprisoned, and all their goods and property were confiscated by the big army, Now they have no name on them, and it is a problem for them to eat by themselves, not to mention that there are so many people under their hands.

One of the big food merchants said, "Guys, what are we going to do now?" We have no money, no food, and so many people to feed under our hands, and if we don't find a way, not only will we not be able to go back, but we may starve to death! ”

The old man of the Han who had just exchanged with Zhao Hu said: "According to the old man, the captain just now was only afraid that he would not be able to be the master of this matter, and now, if we want to get out of the predicament, the only way is to directly communicate with the person who can call the shots, and the old man is also an old man who took this trade route, I heard that the one who led the troops to attack the city this time was General Zhao Ziliang who reopened the northern Silk Road, why don't we go directly to General Zhao and ask him to call the shots!" ”

The big food merchant hesitated, "Can it be done?" The sum of so many of our caravans and so many possessions is not a small amount, and anyone who is not unmoved when they see it, will this surnamed Zhao be willing to return it to us? ”

In addition, there was a Han caravan leader who said: "This General Zhao Ziliang, I have also heard of it, in my Tang Dynasty, my reputation is in the sky, I have heard that he was canonized by the emperor as the Marquis of Zhenbei, but somehow he was cut off the title, and he was imprisoned, and he almost lost his life, but, but I heard that General Zhao used to be fair and strict in this Western Regions, and he was strict in governing the army, and he was honest and honest when he was an official in Chang'an, and never accepted gifts, if the rumors are true, we should still have hope to get back the goods and property."

The Han old man said at this time: "No matter what, anyway, the old man has decided to ask to see General Zhao, what about you?" ”

Someone immediately said loudly: "Since you want to go, let's go together, how can you say that there are many people and there is a lot of power, maybe General Zhao will attract his attention when he sees so many of us asking to see him?" ”

"Pole to pole, go together!"

So these caravan leaders walked together to the Tang army camp outside the city, ready to go to the Tang army camp to see Zhao Ziliang, but they didn't know that they just walked out of the east city gate and saw a large group of soldiers and horses coming on, the front flag, the flag fluttering, the piano and the sound in unison, when approaching the city gate, a team of cavalry flew over and rushed over to the people who entered and exited the city gate so frightened that they hurriedly avoided, and the Tang soldiers guarding the city gate also stood straight one by one, without squinting, and this group of cavalry immediately stood guard at the city gate along the way to the city, Every few feet, a soldier stood on the side of the street on a war horse, and pedestrians and carriages had to pull aside.

After the large group of soldiers and horses came over, three knights came to the front, the middle knight held the largest flag, and the flag was embroidered with a big "Zhao" character, and behind the three people, a very majestic general was wearing a white shining armor, the red tassel on the helmet was blown by the majestic wind and constantly flying, and a pure black high war horse was extremely divine in the crotch, and the victory hook was inserted with a golden nail jujube yang lance, and a treasure knife was hung on the waist.

Some of the caravan leaders who were driven by the Tang cavalry to the side of the road immediately recognized this person as the famous Zhao Ziliang, and immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Look, that's General Zhao!" ”

"Huh? He is General Zhao, let's go forward and ask to see him, otherwise when he enters the city, it will be difficult for us to enter the city again! ”

So more than a dozen people immediately passed through the gap of the Tang cavalry standing guard, and at this time, Zhao Hu came out of the city with people to greet him, and when Zhao Ziliang approached, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Uncle, the city has all been settled, the city lord's mansion has been cleaned up, and the nephew is late to greet him!" ”

The more than a dozen caravan leaders who were about to come out to block the road were stunned when they heard Zhao Hu's words, they didn't expect this captain to be Zhao Ziliang's nephew, this

Things have reached this point, and the merchants can't care much anymore, they grit their teeth and rush to the middle of the road together to block the way of Zhao Ziliang and the army behind him.

The actions of these merchants shocked the surrounding Tang army soldiers, and they immediately raised their guns to surround these people, and the cold and shining blades, spear tips and arrows made these merchants tremble and break out in a cold sweat.

"General Zhao, General Zhao, please make the decision for us!" One by one, the merchants knelt on the ground and shouted.

Zhao Ziliang heard these voices, waved his hand to let Zhao Hu and the others retreat aside, he stepped forward, and the Tang soldiers who surrounded the merchants immediately made way for Zhao Ziliang to pass.

Zhao Ziliang walked into the encirclement and stopped, looked at these merchants for a while, and a loud voice came out of his mouth: "Who are you and others?" Why did you stop General Ben in his way? ”

The leader of the Han caravan hurriedly said: "General, we are all caravan stewards who often walk on the Silk Road on the northern line, we rested here a month ago, but we didn't want to be besieged by the Great Food Army, after the city was broken, the Great Food Army confiscated our goods and property, and locked us up, and now the general commanded the Celestial Empire army to drive away the Great Cannibal and rescue us, we are grateful!" The general is brave, we will respect! But now that we are penniless, it is really difficult to make ends meet, and we have heard that the great cannibals only took some food and water with them when they retreated, and that our confiscated goods and property should still be in the city, and they should have been captured by the general, and I ask the general to return these goods and property to me, and we are willing to give a part of the gratitude to the general and the general's soldiers! ”

After listening to this old man's words, Zhao Ziliang swept among the merchants, and found that there were several big cannibals among these people, as well as some Byzantines, his heart moved, and he said: "This general already knows about this matter, so let's go to the city lord's mansion with this general, and solve this matter for you today!" ”

The businessmen were overjoyed when they heard this, and they kowtowed and thanked each other. (To be continued.) )
