The strength of the Thamati tribe had been completely lost, except for the women and children, the rest were an old, weak, sick and disabled, and the attack on the Khan tent and the settlements of the Thammati went very smoothly, except for a very small number of Thammati who fled into the Ural Mountains and the territory of the Volga Bolgars further north, most of the Thammati were killed, and only women and ignorant children were allowed to survive, but these people also became prisoners of the Western Qin army, the Kimak army, and the Zou headquarters.

This is the case with the nomads, in the event of a war, and a war of extermination, all men and boys who are more than the height of the wheels are killed, leaving only women and children shorter than the wheels, and the cattle, sheep and livestock naturally belong to the victors.

After the army had assembled and stayed for three days at the location of the Khan tent of the Tsai Mati Division, Zhao Ziliang ordered the Cha Thorn Yi Division to approach in the northwest direction.

On 17 April, the army entered the territory of the Chathorn and Yibu for a day and then stopped and camped in the same place.

Zhao Ziliang took off his helmet and put it on the side of the desk, took the map and spread it on the desk to watch, next to Nie Sanniang brought a bowl of warm mare's milk and put it next to him, Zhao Ziliang picked up the big bowl and drank it a few times, "Well, another bowl!" ”

Nie Sanniang picked up the big bowl and walked to the fire and scooped another bowl in the hanging pot with an iron spoon and sent it over, Zhao Ziliang put the bowl aside after drinking, and asked without raising his head: "Eighteen, is there any news from Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode?" ”

Xuan Eighteen hugged his fists and said: "King, since they sent someone to send news three days ago that the 10,000 cavalry army of Khazar's vanguard has arrived on the west bank of the 'Yedili River', and the two sides are facing each other, there has been no news in the past three days!" ”

"If there is news from Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode, report it immediately!"

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Is there any news from the Xuan Headquarters and the Ji Thorn Department?" ”

Xuan 18 said: "Under the activities of our people, the headquarters and the Ji Thorn Department have each gathered more than 8,000 people to confront the Kole and Cha Thorn tribes on the border, because our people are secretly active, there is no contact between the two sides, the men and horses of the headquarters are only 200 miles away from us, and the men and horses of the Cha Thorn and Yi tribes are only 260 miles away from us, if the cavalry marches fast, they can arrive within one day and can attack!" But if we continue to advance northwest, many of our soldiers will get sick because of the drop in temperature! ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his head and closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then opened his eyes and shouted outside the door: "Come on, let the logistics officer Zheng San come over!" ”

"Yes, King!" There was an answer outside the door, and I heard footsteps moving away quickly.

After a while, a voice was heard outside the tent: "Lord Zheng, please, the king is waiting for you!" ”

The curtain was lifted, and Zheng San walked in with a snow hat and said, "Meet the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Zheng San, how many animal skins and sheepskins have we seized this time?" ”

Zheng San replied: "About more than 20,000 sheets!" The king asked what this was for? ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, you are like this, after you go back, immediately send these animal skins and sheepskins to the soldiers, one for each person, and let them wear them as winter clothes, although they have not been processed, they are a little ugly to wear, but at least they can keep out the cold!" ”

Zheng San was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "King, more than 20,000 animal skins and sheepskins are a lot of money, isn't it too wasteful to send one to every soldier?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "Don't waste it, don't waste it at all!" The money is gone, we can earn it again! But if the soldiers are greatly reduced because of the cold climate, the loss is not a little money, money is something outside the body, life does not bring, death does not take away, talent is the most important, as long as there are people, everything will be there! The soldiers go out to fight with the king, and the king must do his best to make them return home intact and triumphant, and has the responsibility and obligation to solve their difficulties, so that they are fed and clothed, and do not starve and freeze! What are 20,000 hides? As long as they can live comfortably on the way to the march and fight, even if they spend more money, this king thinks it will be worth it! ”

Zheng San sighed: "Hey, okay! In this world, I am afraid that only the king can be so sympathetic to the soldiers, you say that the weather is also strange, now it is April, it is still so cold, the sun does not come out, it is gloomy all day long, and the north blows over, blowing on the face like a knife, it is really ghost weather! It would be nice if the sun could come out in the next few days."

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "This king has already observed the celestial phenomena, it is unlikely that the sun will come out in the next few days, I am afraid that there will be light rain, but we can't wait, the time has dragged on, this king beware of the situation on the side of the Ji Thorn Department and the Xuan Headquarters, and must solve the Cha Thorn Yi Department and the Kole Department before they realize that something is wrong!" ”

Zheng San arched his hand and said, "Then I will now order people to carry out all the animal skins and sheepskins, and strive to distribute them to every soldier before dinner!" ”

"Okay, there you go!"

After Zheng San left, Zhao Ziliang instructed Xuan Eighteen: "Eighteen, send an order to let the Huya Army clean up all enemy outposts along the way to the assembly place of the Chathorn and the Yibu, this king does not want the leader of the Chathorn Yibu to get the news of the arrival of our army before dawn tomorrow!" From now on, you will concentrate on leading the Huya Army, liaising with various ministries and collecting news from all over the place, and Wang Can will be in charge! ”

"Yes, King!" Wang Can and Xuan Eighteen hugged their fists at the same time and agreed.

After Xuan 18 left, Zhao Ziliang instructed Cen Shen: "Inform Badasi, Vechier, and the commanders and deputy commanders of our army to come over, and this king invites them to dinner!" ”

"Okay!" Cen Shen agreed, and immediately sent someone to notify the relevant people. He is the chief supervisor of the Secretariat of the Royal Court, which is equivalent to Zhao Ziliang's secretary general, and he is dedicated to serving Zhao Ziliang, and his official rank is the same as Liu Wei, Dugujun, Gao Shi, Gao Shang and others.

Hearing that Zhao Ziliang was going to invite these people to dinner, Cen Shen immediately ordered the others to prepare dinner, killing sheep and cows, barbecuing and boiling meat, and cooking on a fire.

In the camp, the soldiers sat in the camp tent and ate dinner together, everyone put on an animal skin, some people were lucky to get a animal skin, and some people only got a sheepskin, obviously, the animal skin must be much more valuable than the sheepskin, Zhao Ziliang didn't think about this, he just wanted to let the soldiers not freeze.

The soldiers who were given sheepskins envied those who were given animal skins, and the soldiers who were divided into animal skins were very happy, because everyone knew that since the animals and sheepskins were sent down to them to protect them from the cold, they would definitely not take them back, so these skins and sheepskins were equal to their possession, and after the battle was over, they could do what they wanted.

Zhao Ziliang took a group of people to inspect the door of a camp tent, and when he walked in, it turned out that the soldiers in the camp were watching around one of the soldiers in bear skin, and everyone made a smack sound from their mouths.

"Ho, it's pretty lively!" Zhao Ziliang walked into the camp tent and said with a smile, and the accompanying generals and officials also walked in in turn.

The soldiers in the camp all turned their heads when they heard the voice, and when they saw that it was Zhao Ziliang and the generals and officials in the army, they all knelt down and saluted very solemnly: "Meet the king, the generals, and the lord!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "There is no need for such a big gift in the army, get up!" ”

The soldiers stood up trembling again, and Zhao Ziliang asked, "What were you all doing just now?" One by one? ”

One of the soldiers pointed to the soldier wearing a bear skin and said, "Zhang Xiaomao was lucky to receive a bear skin, and the brothers were very envious, so they all gathered around to watch and made their voices louder."

Zhao Ziliang looked in the direction of the soldier's fingers, and suddenly smiled: "You are Zhang Xiaomao?" You're in luck, everyone else has been given sheepskins, wolf skins, robes, and fox skins, and you've actually got a bearskin, which is worth a lot! You kid should be careful when you fight next, don't lose your life, otherwise this bear skin will be cheaper for others? ”

The soldiers laughed when they heard this: "Hahaha・・・・・・"

Zhang Xiaomao was quite embarrassed, took off the bear skin on his body and said, "King, why don't we want this bear skin and change it to a sheepskin?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "That's not good, since it's given to you, it's yours!" This also shows that the officials who distributed the hides were incorruptible, and did not think of swallowing or distributing such valuable furs to the generals! Wear it, it is only valuable where there is a transaction, now its role is just to keep warm, tonight we have to set off to the northwest overnight, the further north, the lower the temperature, it may rain tonight, so the soldiers should pay attention to keep warm, it is best to wear the fur on the body, so that the rain will not get wet hair, if you wear it back, the hair is inside, neither wet, but also warm! ”

After inspecting the camp, Zhao Ziliang returned to fight with the accompanying generals and officials, and it didn't take long for Badas and Vechiel to arrive, and Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered a meal, and everyone talked about things while eating and drinking.

Zhao Ziliang ate roast mutton and said to Badas and Vechier: "According to the map, our current location is only about two hundred and sixty miles away from the assembly place of the soldiers and horses of the Chathorn and Tyre Division, they are in our northwest direction, and we are all cavalry. According to the news we received from the headquarters, the number of soldiers and horses assembled by the Chasting tribe was about 9,000 people, which was already the entire strength of their tribe, and who was responsible for the task of attacking the soldiers and horses of this tribe? If the two of you are unwilling, this mission will be carried out by my Western Qin Army, and Zou Headquarters and Kimak's soldiers and horses will follow, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Badas and Vechiel couldn't help but swallow their saliva and asked, "They marched two hundred and sixty miles overnight, and attacked the men and horses of the Chathorn tribe?" Is this ・・・・・・ possible? ”

Zhao Ziliang asked rhetorically: "Why is it impossible?" Other soldiers and horses don't know about this king, but my Western Qin army can do it, since the two armies don't have this ability, then this mission can only be carried out by our Western Qin army! ”

Veil's was not convinced, and he was not willing to be seized by the Western Qin army, he hurriedly said: "King, since the Western Qin army can do it, then we Kimaks can also do it, and the task of attacking the Cha Assassin Yibu this time will be handed over to us Kimak people!" ”

"Are you really going to take on this task?"

"Yes, please fulfill the king!"

Zhao Ziliang said solemnly: "What if you can't complete this task?" ”

Veiler gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't complete this task, Xiao Khan will look down on his own head and make a urinal for the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shouted: "There is no joke in the army, do you dare to make a military order?" ”

"What's not to dare?"

"Someone, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting!"

Naturally, someone wrote the military order on his behalf, but Veiler just cut his finger with a knife and pressed a blood mark on it, and the military order was officially effective.
