Chapter 102: Movements

In order to redeem his impression in Zhao Ziliang's mind, Pan Lengleng transported all the two thousand stone grain and two hundred carts of grain and grass to the treasury of the Shouju Mansion in less than five days, and Zheng San took over, so that the grain and grass needed for the expedition to Tuqi Shi next year will be solved, but Zhao Ziliang did not let Pan Leng Leng feel better because of this, Zheng San according to Zhao Ziliang's request, spread the news of Zhao Ziliang and Pan Lengleng's discord among the officials of the transfer city, and the officials who had contradictions with Pan Leng Leng before got such news and felt that they had found someone to support them, came to the Capture Mansion to visit Zhao Ziliang.

For these people, Zhao Ziliang personally received them one by one, but did not make any guarantees to them, and just said some ambiguous words, which made the hearts of these officials go up, but it was precisely because Zhao Ziliang did not express clear support for them that they had actually gotten the answer.

Zhao Ziliang knows very well in his heart that as the highest military governor of the Tang Dynasty in the city of Swap, his task is not only to bring good soldiers, defend the city, and control the security of the area near the city, but he also has the task of balancing the forces of the various tribes here, supporting the Shule people to rule other tribes well, but not letting all the other tribes fall to the Shule people, so that all tribes and Shule people realize that the Tang Dynasty is the master of this land! Let everyone know that only the Tang Dynasty has the final say! Instead of a puppet, the puppet wants to break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty, which is not allowed by decision, this idea must be stifled, and those who have this idea must also be eliminated!

But now, Zhao Ziliang thinks that he can't kill Pan Leng Leng yet, firmly control him, make him obedient, if he is going to be transferred out one day, it is not too late to do it before leaving, and he can't leave a disaster.

Zhao Ziliang had this idea and began to implement it, with Zhao Ziliang hinting behind his back, many officials in the transfer city began to not cooperate with Pan Lengleng to handle official business, and they opposed many things, as long as it did not affect the stability and unity of the city, Zhao Ziliang did not ask, and often came out to support the officials who opposed Pan Lengleng.

Pan Leng is not stupid, after a period of observation, he quickly found out where the problem is, and already knows that this is Zhao Ziliang is embarrassing him, but he has no choice but to go to the Shouzhu Mansion from time to time to ask to see Zhao Ziliang, pull relationships, set friendships, and show loyalty. In this way, Zhao Ziliang hinted at other officials to make his life a little better.

The problem of grain and grass has been solved, the arrears of military salaries for the soldiers have also been repaid, the drill matters have also been on the right track, and the military discipline of the entire garrison and the unhealthy tendencies in the army have been corrected in a timely manner, so that Zhao Ziliang can finally free up his hands to do other things.

Seeing the end of the year, the weather is getting colder and colder, and spring is about to begin. On this day, Wang Can, who is also the leader of the scout team and also the intelligence officer, came to report: "General, I have just received a message from the flying eagle from our spy in Turgish, and the Turgish Khan Spitfire Fairy and the minister Dumodu have decided to launch an attack on Mohe Dagan, and they are currently making preparations!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang immediately took the white cloth strip from Wang Can's hand and looked at it, and after reading it, he frowned and said: "In this winter, let alone people, even the livestock can't stand it, what kind of battle is it?" Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by a snowstorm halfway? ”

Wang Can shook his head and said: "This is not clear, my subordinates think, the Fire Spitting Immortal and Du Modu are definitely not stupid people, they must have a reason to send troops!" ”

Two days later, Wang Can brought a copy of the Flying Eagle Biography again, and reported: "General, the spy has sent another news, saying that Mohe Dagan has suffered a lot of losses in population and livestock due to the severe cold weather this winter, and our dynasty is not sure when to send troops, in order to protect himself, he has already supported Erweitler of Hengros City as the black surname Khan a few days ago, and Erweitler is also very angry that the Khan's position was taken away by the Fire Spitting Fairy, so he is very happy for Mohe Dagan's support, and accepts Mohe Dagan, and the two can be said to take what they need. At present, Erweitler has sent 5,000 men to Moonbow City to help Mohedagan fight against the Fire-Spitting Khan. In this case, it is understandable that Fire-Spitting Fairy and Dumodu want to destroy Mohe Dagan before Erweitler's soldiers and horses arrive in Moon Bow City, because once Erweitler's five thousand soldiers and horses arrive in Moon Bow City, Mohe Dagan's strength will increase greatly, and it will not be easy to destroy him in the future! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the information written on the white cloth strip, nodded, but did not speak, and the inexplicable light in his eyes flickered non-stop.

Wang Can said at this time: "General, since the Fire Spitting Immortal and Du Modu want to defeat Mohe Dagan before Erweitler's soldiers and horses arrive in Moon Bow City, wouldn't Broken Leaf City be very empty?" Shall we surprise the Broken Leaf City? ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "Your idea is very good, it's a pity that there are only four hundred cavalry among our 1,200 people, not to mention that they are practicing, and they have not yet recovered their combat strength, even if they recover their combat strength, it is a bit whimsical to attack a city with four hundred cavalry, and if you bring infantry to it, it will take too long to reach Broken Leaf City from here, and there is no shortcut, and there are only two ways for us to march to Broken Leaf City, one is to take Tuoyun Castle, and the other is to go to the banks of the Yili River, no matter which one you take, Can't hide the news! ”

Wang Can thought for a moment and asked, "What about reporting to the Town Guard Mansion?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head: "Report to the Town Guard Mansion?" General Fumeng is afraid that he will not allow it, and he will not lend us cavalry, anyway, he will send troops to recruit the Turkish next year, and he is not in a hurry at this time, and no chaos at this time is what the generals want to see! Since we can't use our strength, let's simply let Mohedagan fight with the Fire Spitting Fairy and Dumodu, let's just watch the excitement from the sidelines."

Wang Can said: "General, after all, Mohe Dagan's heart is towards me, and we watched him be wiped out by the Fire Spitting Immortal and Du Modu, but I'm afraid it's not okay?" ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "You said that Mohe Dagan's heart is towards me?" Who told you that? That's what you think, right? These barbarians have the power of soldiers in their hands, how comfortable they are to be the emperor of a land! Why did he sell himself to me as a slave? Isn't it because I'm strong and he's weak? Once his strength becomes stronger, this kind of person will definitely turn against me, and the reason why he asks for help from my court is nothing more than to borrow my court's hand to help him kill the two enemies of Spitfire and Dumodu, and then he can be the king of Turgish! Okay, you go, keep an eye on me, and report to me immediately if there is news! ”

"No!"

For several days after that, Zhao Ziliang practiced various combat skills and worked his own, while leading troops to practice in the military camp. Eight days passed, and in the evening of that day, Wang Can came to report again with a message.

"General, the situation is not good, our spy in the frozen city sent a message to report, saying that early yesterday morning, some herdsmen went out and saw a large group of turquoise troops coming from the north, so the spy rode fast horses to investigate, and soon found signs of the passage of the army, but it snowed heavily yesterday, and the heavy snow soon covered the tracks. At the moment, the whereabouts of this army are unknown! ”

"What?" Zhao Ziliang was taken aback, and hurriedly walked to the wall and looked at a rough map hanging on the wall.

The frozen castle was located on the southern shore of Atami (also known as Daiseichi, present-day Issyk-Kul Lake) and was inhabited by many tribes. Zhao Ziliang quickly found the location of the frozen city on the map.

"Did the spies in Moonbow City send a message from the Flying Eagle? Have the armies of Charizard and Dumodus attacked Moonbow City? ”

Wang Can said: "Not yet, if the Fire Spitting Immortal and Du Modu attacked Moon Bow City, there should have been news passed on a long time ago!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned, kept staring at the map, and said, "Who is this army?" Friend or foe? Coming from the south, they have already passed the frozen city, could it be that they are coming towards Tuoyun Castle? ”

Wang Can said: "If it's an enemy, I'm afraid it's coming towards Tuoyun Fort!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Immediately fly the pigeon to send a message to Zhao Chongxuan, tell him the news, and let him be ready to meet the enemy!" ”

"No!" Wang Can said yes and prepared to leave.

Zhao Ziliang shouted again: "Pay attention to the news of Moon Bow City and Broken Leaf City at any time, and report to me immediately if there is news!" ”

"No!"
