Zhao Ziliang paid attention to the location of Henglus City, which was the intersection of the forefront of the two forces, and he couldn't notice it without noticing, he pointed to the location of Henglus City with his finger and said, "How many Anxi troops are there here now?" ”

Wang Can said: "After the Shi army surrendered to the big cannibal, the stone **** in Henglus City did not surrender, plus the 1,000 people deployed here in Anxi, there should be a total of 3,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of the stone army is not very good, and it can only be counted as 2,000 combat power at most."

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said, "Aren't there three thousand?" How come there are only a thousand people? ”

"Where did we have 3,000 people stationed at the beginning, since the garrison right of Heng Logos was returned to the Anxi side, the leading general ate 2,000 empty salaries, and the actual garrison in the city is only 1,000 people!"

"I'm rubbing! These insatiable dogs! Zhao Ziliang was so angry that he scolded.

As the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Gao Xianzhi and General Bian Lingcheng are both greedy for money, and the generals and officials below are naturally like this, and they are ridiculously bold. Zhao Ziliang's face turned blue with anger, but he understood that being angry now had no effect.

After looking at the map again, Zhao Ziliang found a big problem again, now the big cannibals control the territory from the Aral Sea to Heng Logos City, that is to say, the big food army can not only attack Heng Luos, but also drive from the north to the south bank of the Yibo Sea to march to the hinterland under the jurisdiction of Beiting, and the territory of the Western Turkic tribes in this area, now the soldiers and horses of the various tribes are basically drawn to Gao Xianzhi to control it, where is there still the strength of the other party to attack from the west?

Zhao Ziliang can't sit still now, the big cannibal may break into the hinterland of Beiting, is this okay? This is not Gao Xianzhi's business, if he is beaten to the hinterland of Beiting by the big cannibal, he Zhao Ziliang's face will be embarrassed!

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Someone, go and inform the officials of the Jiedu Embassy and the Soldiers and Horses Envoy Mansion to quickly come and discuss the emergency military situation!" ”

"No!"

The officials and generals who received the notice quickly rushed to the Soldiers and Horses Embassy, and the venue of the meeting was set in the front lobby, and when Zhao Ziliang came from the inner house, the personnel had already expired.

When the officials and generals saw Zhao Ziliang walk into the lobby, they all stopped talking, all stood up, and were about to salute, but Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "It's all forgiven, time is pressing, just be casual!" Sit down! ”

"General Xie!"

After everyone sat down, Zhao Ziliang said: "Report a very urgent military situation, from Henglus City to the Aral Sea, several Western Turkic tribes belonging to my Beiting have been defeated and surrendered by the Great Cannibals, and only a few have fled into the cold northern land where the Slavs are active and the territory of the Chenose people!" Come on, take the map! ”

Two soldiers carried a bundle of maps, unfolded them and hung them on the wall, and the whole hall was lit up, so that everyone could clearly see the names and lines of the maps.

Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and pointed to the area from the Aral Sea to the Yibohai Sea, and said: "Everyone, please see, from the Aral Sea to the area north of Henglus City, it is now occupied by the Great Food Army, of course, they are not very strong, and it is impossible to occupy such a large area of territory, but they have the ability to march eastward, not only to attack Henglus City, but also to enter the hinterland of my Beiting!" This area is the territory of various tribes, and now their soldiers and horses have been transferred to the country of Pakhana, and there are basically no soldiers available in the territory! ”

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he drew a big arrow on the map with a pen, and everyone saw it at a glance, and then realized the seriousness of the matter. ”

This method obviously didn't work, and it was soon opposed by the vast majority of people, Liu Wei shook his head and said: "This move is not appropriate, not to mention that the emperor issued an edict to let the tribes send troops to Gao Xianzhi to control it, we can't resist the decree, and I'm afraid it's too late to transfer them back at this time!" Besides, if Gao Xianzhi has more troops, the chances of winning are greater, if we transfer these 20,000 people back, Gao Xianzhi's troops will be executed at an absolute disadvantage, and it is said that the black-clothed food army is all elite cavalry this time! It's not so easy for Gao Xianzhi to win! ”

There were many discussions below, Zhao Ziliang sat on the top and pondered, weighing it for a long time before he looked at the people below and said: "For today's plan, only General Ben will take the Han Navy to go just in case!" ”

Dugu Jun asked: "For today's plan, there is only that!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The matter is so decided!" You go back and prepare separately, prepare a month's worth of grain and grass and other military supplies needed by the army within two days, and two days later General Ben will set off with the Han Navy! ”

After the meeting was dispersed, the officers and generals went back to make their own preparations, and the officials were busy preparing the army's food, grass and military supplies, which required a large number of horses and wagons to be transported with the army, and it was not difficult to prepare so many mules and horses, but it took time and manpower to prepare a large number of wagons.

The generals and colonels will return to the barracks to prepare for mobilization, before the troops are generally sent out to let the soldiers eat and drink well, and raise enough physical strength and spirit, but the drills of the two days are to stop, the barracks must be prepared to kill pigs, cattle and sheep, to prepare wine, and let the soldiers write a good suicide note, the vast majority of people are illiterate, and they can't write, the army can only let those clerical officials write on their behalf, if the war comes back, the suicide note will naturally be returned to them, if the war is killed, the suicide note will be sent to the home through the post station or send a special person.

This is one of the things that Zhao Ziliang changed in the reorganization of the entire Beiting Army, he died in the previous war, and the bones were discarded on the battlefield, and no one restrained them, some generals also knew to bury the corpses to avoid the plague, and some generals didn't bother to care at all, the soldiers were just a number in their consciousness, and they would add up after the loss, but after Zhao Ziliang reorganized and transformed the Beiting Army, he added a lot of humanized things, which is just one of them, because of the changes in this regard, The soldiers now have no worries about fighting.

After the officials and generals left, Zhao Ziliang left Li Sheng behind and said: "Li Sheng, this time I led the troops to the west, I want you to stay and guard Tingzhou, Tingzhou seems to have completely escaped from the last turmoil, but in fact, some people are still not convinced, and they want to make trouble for me at all times, Chu Ge is far away in Da Mo Zhou, and he can't be transferred back for the time being. ”

Li Sheng originally wanted to follow Zhao Ziliang to send troops together, maybe he could still fight with the Great Food Army, of course he was not happy if he was not allowed to go, but when he heard Zhao Ziliang say that he could entrust him with big things, he immediately forgot about his unhappiness and became very happy, and hugged his fists and said: "It is an honor to be trusted by the general!" Please rest assured, with me in Tingzhou, those people can't turn over the big waves! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "So I can rest assured, I will leave all the infantry battalions of the Han Navy for you to command, and hold Tingzhou well, I can bring cavalry and 10,000 horses and horses!" ”

Li Sheng said: "The general only brought 10,000 horses, but he was afraid that the troops were too small, and the big cannibals were menacing!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "It's okay, I can still capture and bring 5,000 cavalry from Xilin Shou, a total of 15,000 people, even if I encounter 50,000 food troops, I am not afraid."

Li Sheng bowed.

Two days later, Zhao Ziliang led 8,000 light cavalry and 3,000 heavy cavalry of the Han Navy, a total of 11,000 people, to Tingzhou to the west, leaving 5,000 infantry for Li Sheng to defend Tingzhou.

Stone country, Tuozhi City.

Ziad and his group of generals were in the palace of the Stone King Palace to enjoy the singing and dancing of the women of the Stone Kingdom, as the conqueror, he and his subordinates had this right, this way over, unexpectedly smooth, let him be very comfortable, but he knew that he must not be careless, that time it was because of carelessness that he was defeated in the hands of Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang's ambush, heavy losses, that battle was simply his shame, he swore to defeat Zhao Ziliang before the shame, but this time the leader of the Tang army will be a man named Gao Xianzhi, He had heard of this person, Gao Xianzhi was very proficient in mountain warfare, and now Gao Xianzhi led the troops to garrison the mountain country of Bakhana, Ziad did not think that he could be stronger than Gao Xianzhi in mountain warfare, and most of his subordinates were cavalry, and fighting mountain warfare with Gao Xianzhi was completely based on his own shortcomings to deal with the enemy's strengths, which was unwise! Therefore, he strongly demanded that Bo Silin send another partial division to advance from the north, first defeated several Western Turkic tribes under the jurisdiction of Beiting, and the attack momentum reached Heng Les City, so that he had a new choice, he did not need to gnaw the hard bone of the Khana country, as long as he captured Heng Les City from the north, he could quickly advance all the way to the east, that road was a flat river, and who else could stop the people of Allah from expanding eastward?

When the big guy was looking happy, a soldier of the Great Food Army walked in and saluted: "Your Excellency General, General Said sent someone to bring news from the north!" ”

Ziad was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand to drive all the singers out, leaving only his generals and officers in the hall.

"Say, there's no outsider here!"

"Yes! General Said sent someone to report that he had led 20,000 men to capture the city of Henglus five days ago, the city of Henglus was very well defended, they had lost 5,000 men and horses, and the soldiers were very tired after several days of siege battles after passing through the desert, and needed to rest, and could not fight for at least half a month! ”

"Half a month? It's been a little too long! Ziad frowned, but he also knew that Said was telling the truth, the Great Food Army was not very good at attacking cities, most of Said's cavalry, only a few infantry, it is estimated that these infantry were almost exhausted during the siege.

Ziad thought for a while, looked at the others and said: "Everyone, the news of our army's capture of Henglus will definitely be known by Gao Xianzhi soon, our opponent is him, after he gets this news, the only way is to lead the army to Henglus City to fight a decisive battle with our army, otherwise the Tang Kingdom will not be able to block the advance of our army, and we will compete with the Tang army in Henglus City!" It's just that I heard that this Gao Xianzhi is very good at fighting, but his main force is only 20,000 people, and the rest are the servant army of the surrounding tribes, I have personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, if you confront them from the front, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to defeat his 20,000 regular Tang army with our 40,000 main force, I don't know if you have any good way to defeat him?
