In the few days when the main army was resting, half of the 20,000 volunteers brought by Zhao Ziliang went to North Tianzhu, East Tianzhu and West Tianzhu, and they were accompanied by 30,000 servants, all of whom were staggered and sent to serve in other places far away from their homeland.

Although these servant troops were reluctant to fight with the Western Qin army, they were happy to bully the people under the rule of their former enemies, and they were very energetic and happily hit the road.

On this day, Xuan Si came to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Great King, we have gathered the 20,000 soldiers of the Paramora who have surrendered, and appointed three generals who are willing to be loyal to lead them!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "So we have another 60,000 servant army to use?" ”

Xuan Si said: "Yes, the king! ”

Zhao Ziliang stared at the map and asked, "Which one is stronger, the Zhaohan Kingdom or the Solanji Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Lei stood up and hugged his fists and said: "If you go back to your father's words, these two kingdoms are equally powerful, but the Solanki Kingdom is on the east side of the sea, which is farther away from our current position, and the Zhaohan Kingdom is closer to us!" In the south of the Solanki Kingdom, there is a more powerful Karma Linga Kingdom, if you want to choose an attack, Erchen recommends attacking the Zhaohan Kingdom first, it is close to us, the road is easy to walk, the terrain is flat, it is easier to fight, and the persimmon is of course soft to pick! ”

Zhao Ziliang turned around and said, "Okay, then fight the Zhaohan people first!" Someone, go and inform all the servant generals and ask them all to come over and discuss the matter! Also, prepare a few tables of feasts, and the king will feast them! ”

"Yes, King!" The eunuchs who served with him immediately agreed, and the preparations were removed.

Zhao Lei asked, "Father, why do you want to hold a banquet to entertain these servant generals?" If they don't obey, they will be killed directly, why be polite to them? I still want to feast on them, but my sons don't understand! ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Lei earnestly: "Zhao Lei, you have to remember that everyone in this world is dignified, including beggars, slaves and death row prisoners!" Those who surrender are no exception, it's just that some people show their dignity on their faces, some hide it in their hearts, and these servant troops put away their dignity and hide it in their hearts in order to survive, which does not mean that they abandon it! There is no shame in choosing to bend the knee in order to survive, although the servant army is a consumable, but they are still on our side, we must treat them as companions, not as objects that can be discarded at will, give them some dignity, make them feel that they are valued and trusted, and make them feel that they are still a character, so that they will really work for us, the same is a life, and the effect of being forced and sincerely will be completely different! When they attack the Zhaohan Kingdom, you can see how different they are from the previous attacks on other kingdoms! ”

"Yes! The child is taught! Zhao Lei said with his fists clenched, and then stepped aside.

The guards brought in the low tables, including the cushions, and some eunuchs and palace maids carried portions of wine and dishes on each low table, and set up the tableware.

After a while, twelve generals of the servant army entered the main hall in two columns, two of them were Rajaputs, two of them were Quzra-Protiharas, one of Garajuli, one of Chandaira, and four of the Paramarans.

The twelve men stopped in the middle of the main hall as the eunuch had instructed them to pay homage to Zhao Ziliang, and they used different Hindi dialects.

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Supreme King!"

Zhao Ziliang said: "You are Tianzhu locals, you are more familiar with the situation here than this king, this is the first time this king has seen you, our army will attack the southern countries in the future, can not do without your support, today specially prepared some wine and food for you to taste, so that we can strengthen our understanding of each other!" ”

When the generals of the Tianzhu servant army heard this, they were immediately moved, this was the first time they had been treated as people by the Western Qin people these days, and they were also invited to a banquet by the king of Western Qin, which made them instantly regain some self-esteem.

"Supreme King, your gracious hospitality makes you grateful!"

"Come on, come on, please take a seat!"

The sumptuous and delicious wine and food made the generals of these Tianzhu servant army very fond of it, and then Zhao Ziliang ordered someone to send a young and beautiful Tianzhu woman to sing and dance, and all the generals and officials had a woman to accompany the wine, and these Tianzhu servant army generals were no exception.

Zhao Ziliang drank the wine slowly, ate the peeled fresh fruit of the Tianzhu beauties around him, looked at the generals of these Tianzhu servant army and asked, "Generals, how is the wine and food?" ”

The generals of the Tianzhu servant army said in unison: "It's delicious, I've never eaten such delicious wine and food!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "How about the beauty?" ”

The crowd said, "Beauty! ”

At this time, a young Tianzhu servant army general suddenly said: "Although the women around us are beautiful, they are not as beautiful as the women around the king!" ”

This sentence made the entire hall suddenly silent, and another general beside him whispered: "Mu Ji, you are crazy, why don't you choose what to say?" Are you looking for death? ”

After speaking, he stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "Respect the king, the first time Mu Ji saw the king drink too much, and he was a little unscrupulous, please forgive him for his rudeness!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was also stunned at first, he didn't expect that some of these people would be so bold and dare to ask him for a woman, after listening to the words of the general beside Mu Ji, he smiled and pressed his hand, and said: "Beauty, as long as it is a man, especially a heroic man, there is nothing that you don't like." In our "Book of Songs", it is said, 'My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good', the ancestors all know that men like beautiful women, this is not a sin! Your name is Muji, right? ”

Mu Ji said: "Yes! ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the two Tianzhu women beside him and said: "Tomorrow our army will attack the Zhaohan Kingdom, if you can capture a city, you can pick one of them from them, if you capture two cities, you can take them all away, and the beauties in the captured city can be chosen by you!" Not only beautiful women, but also wealth! This king is the first time to know you people, I don't know you yet, this king generally does not look at anything else, only look at talent, any of you are the same, as long as you can attack the city and pull out the village, this king will not hesitate to reward, but if you don't work hard, this king is not so easy to speak! ”

The next day, Zhao Ziliang sent Xuan Si to lead the Ninth Army to the east to approach the Solanji Kingdom, but did not attack, in order to contain and monitor him, to prevent him from being attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Solanji Kingdom when attacking the Zhaohan Kingdom, and he himself led the army to advance towards the overall situation of the Zhaohan Kingdom.

On May 23, the Western Qin army and the servant army, a total of 150,000 people, entered the territory of the Zhaohan Kingdom, perhaps because they felt that there was a huge disparity in strength, or because they knew that the field battle was not an enemy, the Zhaohan people chose to retreat in the city to defend and did not go out of the city to meet the battle.

Taal City, which is the easternmost and largest city of the Zhaohan Kingdom, has a population of only more than 10,000 people and a garrison of 3,000 people. The Zhaohan people on Taal City were looking nervously at the dense Western Qin army and servant army under the city.

A pot-bellied Tianzhu man negotiated with the general of the Zhaohan garrison on the city wall to no avail, and then ran over on horseback and knelt in front of Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, those Zhaohan people are stubborn, even if the villain tells them according to your words, if they don't surrender immediately, they will slaughter the city after we break through the city, and their defenders would rather live and die with the city than surrender!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sat on a wide royal chariot pulled by eight horses, with transparent light veils blocking the dust on the left, right and back, and two peerless Tianzhu women serving him, and Mu Ji, the general of the servant army at yesterday's banquet, coveted the beauty of the two of them.

Hundreds of thousands of troops set up a formation outside the east gate, the soldiers did not move without an order, noble stood at the foot of the steps of the imperial chariot and looked up at the sky, turned to Zhao Ziliang and saluted: "King, the hour is not early, and the weather will be hot in a while, which will be unfavorable for our siege!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's tall body leaned on the throne, his elbows propped up the armrests and touched the mustache, and said, "Is General Muji here?" ”

The young Muji immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, Muji is here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "If it were up to you to attack this Taal City, how much time would it take?" How many soldiers? ”

Muji didn't want to think about it and said, "Your Majesty, give me 10,000 horses, and if you can't take Taal City at sunset today, Muji will cut off his head and come to the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang laughed: "Hahaha・・・・・・ young man is really strong-blooded, this king should encourage him!" Well, give you 10,000 horses, if you can take Taal City before sunset tomorrow, you can choose one of these two peerless beauties around this king, and the wealth in the city can be divided into 30% for you! But if you can't complete this task, this king won't spare you! ”

Mu Ji's eyes lit up and asked, "Is this really what the king said?" ”

"How can this king Chrysostom be honest? Naturally, what is said will count! Otherwise, how can you convince the public? ”

Mu Ji was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, please ask the King to see Mu Ji's performance!" ”

The other Tianzhu servant generals all looked at Mu Ji with envy, there are only 3,000 troops in Taal City, if you can break it, you can enjoy the peerless beauty enjoyed by the King of Western Qin, and you can also get thirty percent of the wealth in Taer City, what a temptation, as the so-called heavy reward must have brave men, all of them are eager to replace Mu Ji to attack Taal City, but unfortunately now this opportunity belongs to Mu Ji.
