Under the coercion of Zhao Ziliang, Manla had to send people back to Jiling City to prepare 3,000 people for Zhao Ziliang for half a month's worth of grain and grass, 100,000 sharp arrows and a large amount of fire oil, which were sent to the Tang army camp that morning.

In view of the fact that the situation in Sehran City may be precarious, and Princess Hera is in danger, Zhao Ziliang decided to set off immediately in the afternoon, and at the same time sent reconnaissance to investigate the situation in Sehran City, he left his 100 personal soldiers to guard Manla, as long as Manla is in hand, the back road of the Tang army will not be cut off, Manla also knows that Zhao Ziliang is forced to do so, he did not lend troops to Zhao Ziliang is already very unrighteous, if Zhao Ziliang leads the army to make a name for himself, he will feel even more guilty, so he is also very cooperative, and did not make trouble for Zhao Ziliang.

Around mid-afternoon, Zhao Ziliang led his troops to the southwest, and after leaving Jiling City for sixty miles, Manla, who was sitting on horseback, said: "General, this small river ten miles ahead is the junction of the Great Food Country and Tocharo, and after crossing the river is the boundary of the Great Food Country, the general should think twice!" ”

"Hmph, things have come to this point, and it's cowardly to think twice!" Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and shouted to Li Sheng: "Send someone to contact the scout immediately and find a place where you can cross the river!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang ordered his 100 personal soldiers to take Manla back and guard it strictly, and no accidents were allowed.

The army continued to move forward, and the cavalry who had been sent to communicate with the reconnaissance cavalry sentinel soon returned and reported to Zhao Ziliangyu: "General, the reconnaissance cavalry team has left one person to wait for the army at a place where the river can be crossed, and the rest have crossed the river to continue to reconnoiter to the southwest!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Speed up the march and go to the place where the river is crossed."

When the army arrived at the place of crossing the river, for the sake of safety, the whole army was divided into three parts and crossed the river in turn, and each time a thousand people crossed, everything was in order, no one was fighting, but they were humble to each other, so the speed of crossing the river was very fast!

The whole process of crossing the river took only half an hour, and all three echelons crossed the river. After crossing the river, it was already dusk, in order to save time, Zhao Ziliang ordered the whole army to solve all physiological needs on horseback, eat, drink and lazar all be solved on the march, not to stop to cook and rest, everything was solved on horseback.

After nightfall, in order to find the road signs left by the detective and spy posts and take this as the direction of progress, Zhao Ziliang had to send someone to the front to take charge of this matter, and in order to hide the whereabouts of the army's march, he ordered no one in the army to light torches.

At dawn, the army marched to the foot of a mountain, where the scout cavalry was already waiting, and the captain of the scout cavalry came to report to Zhao Ziliangyu: "General, the last general has already explored within a radius of thirty miles, this is the most suitable place to camp and hide!" According to the guide, thirty miles further southwest is the city of Sehran."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Okay, rest here for two hours, and set off in two hours to continue the march of Sehran City!" ”

"No!"

After the army began to camp, Zhao Ziliang found Bai Xiaode and instructed: "The situation of Sehran City, we still don't know, this is only thirty miles away from Sehran City, so I want you to take someone to investigate in detail, the scout cavalry team has been there, familiar with the path, let them send someone to go with them!" Once you find out the news, send someone back to report it immediately! ”

Bai Xiaode arched his hand and said: "No! ”

After Bai Xiaode took people away, it was already dawn after Zhao Ziliang inspected the camp, he was also a little tired at this time, he fell asleep after lying down, woke up on time after two hours, and immediately ordered the army to solve his physiological needs after turning over, and was ready to go.

The soldiers sat on the ground, silently took out dry food and water bags, ate and drank, and after eating and drinking, they solved the problem of Lazar, and then returned to the place to wait for orders.

At noon, Bai Xiaode sent someone back, and the scout who came back reported: "General, the city of Sehran has been breached, and we have found that Princess Hera and her party have all fallen into the hands of the rebels!" ”

"What?" Zhao Ziliang was shocked, he originally thought that as long as Sehelan City was not breached, he would take the opportunity to raid the back of the black-clothed food army, causing them chaos, and looking for an opportunity to give them the greatest trauma, but he didn't expect that the defenders of Sehelan City would be broken without holding out for three days.

Du Chaoyang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, also turned pale when he heard this, the black-clothed Dashi Army had 15,000 people, and it also occupied the danger of the city, while the Tang Army only had 3,000 people, how could they go to the enemy army to snatch back Princess Hera and her party?

Du Chaoyang muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over!" Now our mission cannot be accomplished! ”

Zhao Ziliang's expression was grim, his eyes were staring ahead, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "Someone, pass the order, play my Datang banner and the banner of this general, and march towards Sehran City!" ”

Du Chaoyang was so shocked that his body shook again and again, and he almost fell off his horse, he calmed down, and hurriedly said: "General, you must not, the enemy army is in danger of the city, and it occupies an absolute advantage in troops, aren't we going to die like this?" Let's withdraw our troops and go back! ”

Zhao Ziliang turned around and said coldly: "Do you think you'll be fine when you go back?" It's a death to go back, and it's a terrible death, and General Ben would rather die on the battlefield than be escorted to the execution ground to be killed! Come on, let's go! ”

These generals and soldiers were all brought out by Zhao Ziliang, and they only obeyed Zhao Ziliang's orders, where did they care which onion Du Chaoyang was? After Zhao Ziliang's order was issued, the army immediately raised the dragon banner of the Tang Dynasty and Zhao Ziliang's general banner and swaggered, marching towards the city of Sehelan.

Sehran City, the hall of the Lord's Palace.

A middle-aged general with a pointed round helmet, a thin face, but a big beard was sitting on the seat of the city lord, this person's eyes flashed with wisdom, he was one of the most powerful rebel military leaders of the Great Food Country today - Abu ******, is Abu? The most effective commander under the Abbasids, known as the Great Eater Han Xin.

"Daoud, how many of those who broke through to the outside of the city the night before yesterday escaped alive, have you figured out the purpose of their breakthrough?" Abu ****** asked.

Daoud stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency General, you have figured it out!" The purpose of their breakthrough was to ask for help, and three people broke through that night and went in two directions, two of them went to Luocheng in the southwest, and the other went to Jiling City in the east! There are 15,000 defenders in Luocheng, and the number of troops is not less than ours, but the subordinates still don't know why the other person is going to the east, there are only 4,000 people in Jiling City, do they want to find the 4,000 people in Jiling City to rescue? ”

It was a tall warlord holding the hilt of his sword and saluting Abu ****** with a smile on his face, "General, guess what I found?" Marwan II's youngest daughter, Princess Hera, is in the city! ”

Abu?****** looked moved, and involuntarily got up and said, "Ziyad, what you said is true?" ”

"Yes, General! There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, her subordinates have personally gone to see it, at present, she and hundreds of her subordinates have been sent by her subordinates to take care of them alone, and there are a large number of rare treasures around her, and her subordinates asked from among her subordinates, Princess Hera was married to the prince of Tang Kingdom as a concubine, and they were going to Tang Kingdom to complete their marriage! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Abiy ****** moved again.

Ziad said: "It's absolutely true, no one is in the mood to lie under the torture of his subordinates!" ”

Abu ****** suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said: "No wonder some of the people who broke through the siege will go to the east, it seems that the Tang Kingdom must have sent an army to meet the relatives!" Whoever comes, immediately send a lookout to the east to reconnoitre, and if you find an enemy army coming towards the city of Sehlan, return quickly and report it! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Abu ****** waved his hand to the others: "Let's go, let's go and meet Princess Hera, General Ben has always heard that Princess Hera, the youngest daughter of Marwan II, is beautiful, but she has never seen her, today I want to see how she looks!" ”

Everyone left the city lord's mansion and rode to a large independent courtyard, surrounded by high walls, and the building of the round tower in it towered, this is a mosque, and Ziyad can imprison Princess Hera and her party here, which can be regarded as a very high standard courtesy.

Abu ****** and others walked into the mosque, and in addition to the guards, there were many royal maids and attendants busy, but everyone's faces showed panic and panic.

Directly to the largest building in the temple, a woman who was wearing a wide white women's robe and a silk scarf covering her face, but still could not stop Miao Man's figure, stood in front of the mural with her back to the gate and stared.

"Princess Hera, our general is here, why don't you come and see you soon!" Daoud shouted at Princess Hera, who was unresponsive.

The woman was the princess Hera, and she said without looking back, "How can a princess of the Umayyad dynasty salute the rebels?" ”

Ziad said, "Princess? Now that they have become prisoners, don't you think it's ridiculous that you still think you're a princess? ”

At this time, Princess Hera turned around and said: "Even if you are a prisoner, the princess is still a princess, this is not something you can change, you are a rebel general, what qualifications do you have to say such things to this princess?" ”

Abu ****** waved his hand, signaling the others to stop talking, although Princess Hera was masked, her talking eyes made her aura revealed, he stepped forward to salute Princess Hera and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I didn't expect to meet the princess here, Abu ****** polite!" ”

Princess Hera snorted coldly: "Abu?******, as the general of my Umayyad Dynasty, why did you apostatize and join Abu? Abbasids? Do you think Allah will forgive you? ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I am not apostatic, I just think that the teachings of Shia are more suitable for the people, the Umayyad dynasty has ruled the Great Food Country for more than a hundred years, and has done nothing but oppress the people, this is not the ideal country I want! If Marwan II had learned that the princess had fallen into my hands, I wonder what he would have done! ”

The princess laughed miserably: "Do you think my father will agree to any of your conditions?" Don't say I'm already a married princess, even if I don't get married, my father won't compromise with you for me! ”

Abu?****** patted his head: "Oh, I remember, Her Royal Highness the princess is already the crown princess of the Tang Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom is too far away, doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess feel lonely to marry the Tang Kingdom?" ”

"You don't need to worry about it!"

"But now that the princess is in my hands, how can you go to the Tang Kingdom?"

Princess Hera said angrily: "Tang Guo will definitely not give up, you wait and see!" (To be continued.) )
