He stood up at this time and said to Zhao Ziliang: "The general was right before, it was me and the ministers who didn't want to lose too many troops and didn't want the people to suffer from the misery of their lives, so the whole country surrendered. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but if you confront them, it will be the way to the destruction of the whole country! My Kang Guoguo is small and weak, and I am not the opponent of the big food country at all. Xiao Wang and the ministers are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, as the general said, and dare not fight against the big cannibals! My Kangguo soldiers are all soldiers who are not afraid of death, if the general doesn't believe it, he can order Xiao Wang to be dragged down and beheaded now, if Xiao Wang snorts, he will not be my Kangguo descendant! ”

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "What? Do you think General Ben won't dare to kill you? Come on, drag the foundation out and cut it down! ”

"No!" Brehan rushed over with a few wolf-like Tang army armor soldiers, dragged him out.

At this time, Liu Bingyan, the envoy of the Anxi Protectorate in Kangguo, hurriedly stood up and said: "General, wait! Let Xia Guan say a few words! ”

Zhao Ziliang glanced at Liu Bingyan and shouted to Blehan: "Stop! ”

A few Tang Army armorers who were dragging the foundation stopped at the gate of the main hall at the order of Brehan.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Liu Bingyan and asked, "Lord Liu, what do you have to say?" ”

Liu Bingyan arched his hand and said: "General, the time for the lower officials to come to Kangguo is not short, the king of the foundation is the year when the lower officials came to Kangguo to succeed to the throne, in the past few years, what King Kang has done has been seen by the lower officials, and let the lower officials say a fair word, although King Kang is not as good as the previous kings in terms of talent, but he and his courtiers are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, King Kang immediately reduced the punishment and forced labor of the whole country after succeeding to the throne, so that the people of Kangguo can recuperate and recuperate, so that many soldiers can go home to farm and engage in production, It has reduced the military expenditure of the Kangguo Imperial Court, which shows that he is sympathetic to the people's livelihood and suffering, and he often only takes a small number of guards out to shoot and hunt, which shows that he is brave and brave, and he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Zhao Ziliang listened to Liu Bingyan's words, thought about it, and beckoned to Polehan, who immediately asked the Tang army armor to drag the foundation back again.

"Fundamentals, Lord Liu intercedes for you, according to him, you should be a very promising Mingjun, right? There is nothing wrong with you surrendering to the Great Food Army, it is General Ben's mistake, General Ben should not have brought troops here, are you right? ”

He hurriedly said: "No, no, no, general, that's right!" It's Xiao Wang and the ministers who are wrong, the big cannibals are insatiable, Xiao Wang thought they were just preaching and asking for some grain and grass, but I didn't expect them to loot in my Kang country, rob if they didn't give it, and kill innocent people indiscriminately, insult the women of good families, many women in my Kang country have been ruined by them, these days to kill, Xiao Wang would have known that they were such a virtuous ??????"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out and spit flew. Zhao Ziliang waited for him to finish and asked, "So you regret surrendering to the big cannibal?" ”

He nodded and sighed: "Yes, Xiao Wang regretted it, Xiao Wang took it for granted, the big cannibal was brutal, and it only took two months to come to my Kang country, and my Kang country was ruined and full of devastation, if it wasn't for the general to lead the troops to attack, my Kang country would be plagued by the big cannibals!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the foundation for a full two minutes before looking away, turned his gaze on the other ministers, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"The ministers and others also regret it!"

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "What if the army comes again?" ”

He and the ministers said in unison this time: "If the Great Food Army comes again, we must first send someone to quickly inform the Tang Celestial Dynasty and ask the Celestial Dynasty to send troops for help, and our side is also actively preparing for war, if there is a disparity in strength, we will fight and retreat, and fight with the Great Food Army to the end!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand: "Lord Kang, please get up!" Come on, take a seat! ”

He and his courtiers hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, general!" ”

The soldiers and palace attendants quickly brought their stools, and the servants and his courtiers took their seats carefully.

Zhao Ziliang said again: "The lord of the country and the lords, this general has forgiven you, but it does not mean that the emperor and the court have also forgiven you, this time you have taken refuge in the Great Food Army, and refused to accept the request of our court to send troops, the emperor and the court will inevitably be furious, you had better send someone to Chang'an as soon as possible to meet the emperor, pay tribute, and ask the emperor and the court for guilt, if it is late, when the emperor's decree of condemnation comes down, everything will be too late, do you understand?" ”

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Wang understands, understands!" Xiao Wang will arrange a delegation to Chang'an tomorrow to meet the emperor and ask for guilt! ”

"Okay, you guys go down, General Ben wants to talk to Lord Liu alone!"

"Xiao Wang and others will retire!"

The hall was clean in a blink of an eye, leaving only Zhao Ziliang, Liu Bingyan, Brehan and a few Tang army armor soldiers, and all the palace attendants were driven out.

Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Bingyan: "Just now, I have to thank Lord Liu for coming out to intercede for him, otherwise General Ben really won't be able to come to the stage, if he really kills the foundation, not only will the court blame, but this Kang Guo will hate me in the future!" ”

Liu Bingyan arched his hand and smiled: "The general's words are serious, and the subordinate is just a gesture!" It was a clever move for the general to lead the troops to Kangguo this time, and it also gave Kangguo and other Zhaowu countries a great deterrent! With the expansion of the power of the Great Food Country to the East in recent years, the Zhaowu States and the Tocharian Chieftains gradually couldn't withstand the pressure and took refuge in the past, and the body poison in the south was divided at this time, and it was even more unable to resist the invasion of the Great Cannibals, I heard that many of the local Hao Chiefs of the Great Food Country surrendered to the Great Food Country, and the power of the Great Food Country in the East expanded too fast, if I didn't prepare early, I was afraid that sooner or later I would be invaded by the Big Cannibal! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, he couldn't help but be a little impressed by Liu Bingyan, this person obviously saw the harm of the big cannibal to the East, which may be related to the fact that he has always been in the Kangguo area.

In the next few days, Zhao Ziliang ordered the purchase of grain in various parts of Kangguo, and the leaders of the ten tribes all wanted grain to cover the spoils of war, and he did not have so much grain for them now, so he could only buy it in various parts of the Zhaowu Kingdom and Tocharo.

Some time ago, there was a war, and the Zhaowu countries were exploited by the big food country, so the grain price was a little high, but Zhao Ziliang obviously couldn't buy it at a high price, he was not wronged, but although the purchase price was not high, the officials of the Zhaowu countries still wanted to sell the grain to him, at least he was much stronger than the big cannibal, the big cannibal didn't give money at all, and he grabbed whatever he liked, compared with the two, the Tang army was much cuter than the big food army, and King Kang was also glad that he made the right choice.

In the next few days, the lords of the Zhaowu kingdoms hurried to Samad Gandhara and met Zhao Ziliang in the palace.

On September 21, Zhao Ziliang summoned the kings of the Zhaowu Kingdom in the palace of the foundation and gave them a stern reprimand and warning, if they continue to be the grass on the wall as before, the wind blows on both sides, and the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be polite to them.

These lords were so frightened that they patted their chests to Zhao Ziliang and promised that if the Great Food Army came again in the future, they would definitely form an alliance to resist together, and at the same time ask for help from the Tang Heavenly Empire.

King Kang also stood up and begged Zhao Ziliang: "Please ask the Celestial Empire to send a heavenly army to garrison Samad Gandharan to deter the great cannibals!" The cost will be borne by all the countries of Zhaowu! ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, thinking to himself that this is a good deal, he can raise and train soldiers without spending money himself, where can he find such a good thing? However, he can't be the master of this matter, after all, the Zhaowu Kingdom and Tocharo are the territories under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and this kind of matter must be reported to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and then reported by the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide.

Zhao Ziliang said to the lords of the country: "This matter is considered feasible by the general, but this matter still needs to be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide, and the lords of the country can wait patiently for news!" ”

After the lords of various countries returned, Zhao Ziliang immediately led the army to continue southward, passing through the country of rice and the country of history, and then entered the country of Tocharian through the Iron Gate Pass.

At this time, there were many Tocharian chieftains, there was no central court at all, the regime was not unified, and the forces were scattered, which was one of the reasons why they could not resist the Great Food Army.

After Daoud transferred the Great Food Army stationed here, there was no more army of the Great Food Army here, and the Tocharian chieftains were also relieved, but when they heard the news of the Tang Army's southward movement, they all raised their hearts to their throats.

Even during the period of Taizong and Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty never sent troops directly to the Tocharian country, and at that time, the Tocharian country also sent people to Chang'an to meet and ask for internal attachment, so the Tang Dynasty sent officials to the Tocharian countries to read the emperor's will, and set up governors in various parts of Tocharo, and the governors were appointed by the chiefs of various places, that is to say, Tocharian was only a subject country of the Tang Dynasty in name, and the Tang Dynasty never sent troops to show off its strength, and Zhao Ziliang led more than 20,000 troops to come over this time for the first time in history, which frightened the Tocharian chieftains, More than 20,000 soldiers and horses, this number is simply astronomical for the Hao chieftains of Tochar.

Gao Xianzhi had just won a complete victory in the small Bolu Kingdom, which frightened the small countries at the foot of the western mountains of the Pamir Plateau trembling one by one, who knew that the Tang Dynasty came more ruthlessly this time, and directly sent 20,000 troops over, isn't this to scare him to death?

Whether it is a small country or a big country, whether it is a rich chief or a rich chieftain, they all came to greet Zhao Ziliang's army with their own guards, lest Zhao Ziliang find an excuse to repair them.

The area of Tocharian is not small, and it is impossible for Zhao Ziliang to take the army around in a circle, but he stopped in the original hometown of the Governor of Wangting Prefecture - Bushi City, and the Tocharian chieftains rushed to Bushi City to meet Zhao Ziliang.

The endless military tents are arranged in an orderly manner, without the slightest mess, the distance between the military tents is not bad at all, neat and tidy, the military horses in the military camp are galloping, the drill of the soldiers is like thunder rolling, only close to the military camp, the Tocharian chieftains feel the sense of oppression gradually increasing, as a local tyrant, although they have seen a lot of the world, but they have never seen so many soldiers and horses, and they are strong soldiers.

After seeing Zhao Ziliang, the Hao chieftains offered the gifts they brought, some sent a large amount of grain and grass, some used a carriage to pull a whole car of gold and silver, and there were many, many colorful gems, Zhao Ziliang was not polite, accepted all the orders, after accepting these filial piety, Zhao Ziliang did not give them a good look, and reprimanded them fiercely, saying that they should not take refuge in the big cannibals, They should pick up swords and guns and fight the great cannibals to the end, otherwise how can they be worthy of the prestige of their ancestors?

The chieftains of Tocharian Luohao were trained by Zhao Ziliang to droop their heads one by one, and they said that they would definitely fight with the big cannibals to the end in the future, and at the same time said that they would immediately send envoys to Chang'an to meet the emperor and ask for attachment again, Zhao Ziliang was noncommittal.
