In July of the sixth year of Tianbao, the Tang army prepared in Hexi and attacked Tubo together with Longyoudao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In fact, after Wang Zhongsi was appointed as the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu and personally arrived in Liangzhou to preside over the defense of Hexi, he has been trying to find ways to weaken the military strength of Tubo. Soon, Wang Zhongji saw that the fighting force of the Tibetan army was mainly cavalry, and the Tubo people had obtained the free-range land of the Hequ horses after occupying the land of the Yellow River in Jiuqu, and the Hequ horses belonged to him, so if he wanted to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army, he had to find a way to weaken the cavalry of the Tubo.

Wang Zhongsi quickly thought of a way, he ordered to raise the price of horses in the border horse market, and funded the purchase of Hequ horses, so that in order to earn more money, the Hu people tried their best to sell the Tubo people's Hequ horses to the land of Hexi, Wang Zhongsi bought them all, and since then the number of war horses of the Tubo people has decreased, and the number of war horses of the Tang army in Hexi has increased greatly, and the strength of the cavalry of the Tang army has also increased greatly. This method was something that Zhao Ziliang didn't think of when he was in Hexi on the spot.

On the second day of the first month of July, Wang Zhongsi concentrated superior forces to launch the Battle of Qinghai Lake against the Tubo people, and the generals Li Guangbi, An Sishun, Ge Shuhan, Ma Lan and others all led the troops to appear, and broke the main force of the Tubo army on the north bank of Qinghai Lake, this battle, the fortress set up by the Tubo at the junction of Qinghai and Gansu was almost completely destroyed, tens of thousands of dead and wounded, two princes were killed in battle, and the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Tang Dynasty, the only regret is that the stone castle city is still under the control of the Tubo people, and the strategic situation has not been completely reversed.

The north court protects the mansion, and the west forest guards and catches.

In the courtyard of the backyard of the Shouzhu Mansion, Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting brothers were sitting in a bathtub, and in the bathtub was a decoction with an unpleasant smell, and Zhao Ziliang stood aside with his hands behind his back and watched.

The brothers were extremely uncomfortable by the medicinal power of this decoction, and their bodies were as if they were in a raging fire, and streams of air rushed everywhere in their bodies, sometimes hurting cold sweat on their foreheads, and sometimes itching so much that people couldn't stand it.

"Father, I can't stand it, it hurts so much, it's too itchy!" The boss Zhao Lei's face was swollen red, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he couldn't help but shout.

And the younger Zhao Ting has been biting his lip but endured it silently, but he has endured this torture even harder, and his little face has turned blue-purple.

Zhao Ziliang listened to the shouts of his eldest son Zhao Lei, and couldn't help but reprimand: "What is it called?" You can't bear this bit of hardship, how will you practice advanced martial arts in the future? How to lead troops into battle? Do you know how much this decoction costed? Your father and I have spent all half a year here, if you don't cherish this rare opportunity, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to death! ”

When Zhao Lei heard this, his originally swollen and red face turned into a bitter gourd face in an instant, and he didn't dare to shout anymore, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it silently.

He is now eight years old, much taller and stronger than children of the same age, and has a rough personality since he was a child, while his younger brother Zhao Ting is like a stuffy gourd, but he is extremely stubborn and has strong endurance, and has inherited a large part of his mother Nie Sanniang's genes.

Zhao Ziliang walked between the two large bathtubs with his hands behind his back, when Wang Can hurriedly walked in and said eagerly: "General, there is urgent news from Hexi and Anxi!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's expression changed, and he quickly returned to normal, and said to his two sons: "Stay in it and wait for the effect of the medicine to pass before coming out, if Lao Tzu finds out that you come out early, see if I don't break your dog's legs!" ”

Wang Can couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw Zhao Ziliang educating his son like this.

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he beckoned to Wang Can, and the two immediately came to the front hall from the backyard, and after sitting down separately, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Let's talk about the specific situation, one by one."

Wang Can coughed twice and cleared his throat, and said: "Let's talk about the news from Hexi first, Ma Lu sent a flying pigeon from Hexi to spread the news that half a month ago, General Wang Zhongsi dispatched superior forces to fight with the Tubo army on the north bank of Qinghai Lake, that is, around the original Longqi City, a battle of Qinghai Lake, which broke the Tubo army, beheaded tens of thousands of people, and the two princes of Tubo were killed in battle!" A few days ago, General Wang Zhongsi took advantage of the victory to pursue and carried out the Battle of Jishi near Jishi Mountain, and completely annihilated the remnants of the Tubo army. The attention of the Tibetan people was completely attracted! ”

Originally, Wang Zhonghei had achieved such a great result, which could be described as a big victory, but Zhao Ziliang was not happy at all, and he said with a gloomy face: "The greater the results of these two battles, the greater the confidence of Li Linfu's side in capturing Shibao City, and I am afraid that it is inevitable to forcibly attack Shibao City this time!" And now the Tubo people have been vigilant, and have prepared, it is almost impossible to sneak attack, only to storm one way, with the topography of Shibao City, I Zhao Ziliang personally led the troops to fight it, want to attack, in the case of sufficient preparation of the defenders, at least 20,000 or 30,000 people must die before it is possible to take it, what is the point of dying so much to take Shibao City? ”

"Alas" Zhao Ziliang sighed, and said: "You just said that the attention of the Tubo people has been attracted to Hexi, could it be that Gao Xianzhi has made progress along the way?" ”

When Wang Can saw Zhao Ziliang asking, he immediately became excited and said, "Yes, general!" According to the news from our spies in Gao Xianzhi's army, Gao Xianzhi led a large army from the middle of March and began to secretly set out from Qiuzi Town, accompanied by Li Siye, Duan Xiushi, Feng Changqing, Xi Yuanqing and He Lou Yurun, after the 15th march arrived at the city of Swap, and after the 15th march to the city of Swap led with Jia Chongjun, the defender of the city, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to converge, and then continued to march to Shule Town, and after the 20th march arrived at Shule Town, and joined with the 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhao Chongyu, the guard of Shule Town. At about the beginning of May, Gao Xianzhi led more than 10,000 troops from Shule Town to the south, marching towards the Green Ridge. Passing through Qingling (7564 meters above sea level), after more than 20 days, we arrived at the Green Ridge to guard and capture. Then go west again, go west along the northern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountain, and reach Bomi Water after more than 20 days. The Tang army continued to move forward and reached Telmanchuan after more than 20 days. After more than 100 days of trekking, the first phase of the march was completed at the end of June. This is the news we received half a month ago, and now Gao Xianzhi's army is on top of the Peerless Mountain, and it is difficult to transmit the news, if you want to get the news, I am afraid that we will have to wait for a while! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, before the crossing, he had a detailed understanding of Gao Xianzhi's long-distance attack on Xiaoboluguo, so he was very familiar with this history, if there was no accident this time, Gao Xianzhi would inevitably become famous with this battle, and shock the Western Regions.

"Continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress of the battle between Hexi and Xiaobolu, and tell me as soon as there is news!"

"Understood!" Wang Can agreed, and then said: "General, our spies in Henglus City in the west have sent news that during this period of time, the Great Food Country in the west seems to be increasing troops to the western border of Shi Country, and the pressure on Shi Country has increased greatly, and the direction of troop deployment is pointing to Heng Logos City, from the current indications, Heng Logos City is very dangerous, and the Great Food Country may attack Heng Logos City at any time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "It seems that the Great Food Country is only afraid and dishonest, but now I have been demoted to Xilin Guard, with my official position, let alone manage Hengluo City, even if I can't even manage the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, even if I want to manage it, I have more than enough heart and not enough power!" ”

Henglus City is now the northwestern city of Shi Kingdom, and Shi Country belongs to one of the nine countries surnamed Zhaowu, and belongs to the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate has no right to govern at all, even if you want to manage it, you have to greet the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Ten days later, on July 26, Zhao Ziliang went to the barracks to inspect the drills and patrols and sentry matters after teaching his two sons to practice martial arts. ”

"Eight hundred miles from Tingzhou is urgent?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and then instructed Xuan Yi: "The drill cannot be relaxed, in addition to the necessary drill subjects, you can also add some intellectual subjects, in addition, the sentry and patrol people can not rely entirely on supervision, let them fundamentally understand the importance of sentry and patrol!" ”

Xuanyi arched his hand and said: "The last general understands!" ”

Zhao Ziliang explained some things and went out of the barracks and returned to the Shouzhu Mansion, as soon as he walked into the lobby of the Shouzhu Mansion, he saw a familiar figure standing by the wall and looking at the murals on the wall, it turned out that this person was an old acquaintance from the past - Cheng Qianli, and now he is the deputy capital protector of Beiting and the deputy envoy of Beiting Xingyingjiedu! This official position is higher than the official position of Zhao Ziliang's official position in the highest period of the Hedong Left Chamber! Cheng Qianli's talent is average, but he is Fu Meng Lingcha's henchman, he followed Fu Meng Lingcha to fight a few battles and mixed up some military merits, and he was promoted quickly, in terms of military merits, he is simply beyond the reach of Zhao Ziliang, but who let him have a good leader who values him?

It turned out to be an acquaintance coming, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but glance at Brehan, blaming him for not saying a word on the way back, he coughed and walked in with a smile: "It turned out that General Cheng had arrived, and the last general was inspecting military affairs just now, which was really out of reach!" ”

When he was in Anxi, Cheng Qianli was very displeased with Zhao Ziliang, the reason was, of course, that he was jealous that Zhao Ziliang was competing with him for merit and favor in front of his husband Meng Lingcha, in fact, Zhao Ziliang never thought of competing for favor or anything, it was completely Cheng Qianli's own trouble.

Cheng Qianli saw Zhao Ziliang come in, and he just bowed to him, and did not bow to him, so he was quite annoyed in his heart, you must know that his official position is much greater than Zhao Ziliang, the Xilin Guard, he immediately said with a straight face: "It seems that General Zhao is very busy, and he can't even take time to receive the general, and let the general, who has been riding a horse for several days and nights, sit for a long time, does General Zhao look down on Cheng and deliberately delay the time to come back?"
