Chapter 108: Stabbing Lou Zi
That night, Zhao Ziliang didn't have time to wash off the blood stains on his body, and he didn't even eat dinner, so he was discussing with the generals and colonels in the Guarding Mansion and the officials of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Presumably, you haven't had dinner yet, and General Ben hasn't prepared your meal here, so General Ben will make a long story short. Today, more than 3,000 people came to raid, and were defeated by our general, killing more than 1,000 people, capturing more than 1,000 people, and hundreds of people escaped, at present, our cavalry is chasing and killing with all their might, but at this time it is already ten night, and it is unrealistic to kill and capture all the fleeing Turks, and there will definitely be people hiding or fleeing further, these people fleeing to various parts of Anxi will endanger the local people, which is why this general asked you to discuss the matter! β
Some officials reacted flexibly, and immediately understood what Zhao Ziliang meant, and immediately got up and said: "What does the general mean to ask the Governor of Benzhou to order martial law in all towns and make every effort to capture those fleeing turkish routs?" β
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Martial law is not necessary, it is best to let the towns and cities in this state notify the tribes in various places, so that they can pay strict attention to strangers and suspicious people, if such a person is found, he will be captured on the spot if he has the ability, and then hand it over to the government to receive a reward, if he feels defeated, he will immediately report to the government, and the government will immediately send someone to arrest him, and the government will also send more arrests and city guards to strengthen the inspection of the territory of various tribes, and at the same time put up a reward for how much silver money is rewarded for catching a raider, which is also good for the governor's mansion and the government of each town. At least it can be used as a political achievement! β
Pan Lengleng was already apprehensive about the sudden attack of the Tuqi Shi, if something really happened to the city, he, the governor of the capital and the city lord, was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the blame, not to mention the official position, whether his life could be saved or not. Now that the enemy army has been defeated and only a few have fled, of course he has to cooperate with Zhao Ziliang to pursue those routs with all his might.
Pan Leng Leng immediately said: "What the general said is very true, this official will send an order to the towns, and offer rewards to the tribal territories and local people to capture those turkish soldiers, and each town will also send a number of patrols to inspect the places under its jurisdiction, and set up checks at various traffic intersections, and must not let the turquoise troops flee to other state capitals!" β
Seeing that the matter had been arranged, Zhao Ziliang got up and said: "In this case, please ask Lord Pan and all the adults to go back to the house and act accordingly, General Ben is waiting for the good news of your lords!" β
All the officials stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "Wait for the resignation!" β
Seeing off Pan Lengleng and the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang finished washing up and had another meal. In the middle of the night, Wang Can, Wei Meng and others sent people to report.
"General, Captain Wei and Captain Wang sent villains to report, and we killed more than 300 people! So far, there are no other routs, and there is no trace of them, so the two captains sent villains to ask the general if they would withdraw their troops back to the city? β
Zhao Ziliang asked, "Are there no prisoners?" β
"General, our army does not have many troops in pursuit, and the captured prisoners are scattered everywhere, and now it is night, and the weather is cold, so it is inconvenient to guard and escort, so after discussing with Captain Wang and Captain Wei, they ordered to kill the one hundred and twenty-six captured prisoners!"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "You will rest later, eat something, and then go and tell Wei Meng and Wang Can that the general has informed the Governor's Mansion that the towns will send to capture fast, the city guards will strengthen patrols and set up checkpoints on various traffic arteries, which have been executed overnight, and the remaining rout troops will not be far away, let them lead the troops to continue the pursuit and search, no matter what the result is, after dawn and then lead the troops back to the city, the general will order people to kill cattle and sheep in the barracks to reward them!" β
"No!"
Early the next morning, all the cavalry of Wei Meng, Wang Can and others returned and brought back more than 300 heads of the turphos, but none of them belonged to Dumodu, and they did not catch Dumodu.
There was also some good news from the Governor's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion, and the towns set up checkpoints and sent patrols to search the houses of various tribes, but there was a lot of gain, and a total of 98 Turks were captured and killed, but no trace of Dumodu was found, and the captives were found to identify the corpses, but there was still no such person as Dumodu among the corpses.
Zhao Ziliang knew that people like Du Modu were scheming, if he wanted to hide and escape, he was afraid that ordinary people would not be able to catch him at all, or if he appeared in front of him, the person who captured him would not recognize him.
Didn't catch Du Modu, Zhao Ziliang was a little unwilling, and greeted Pan Leng coldly, the checkpoint and patrol team could not be removed, and the passing crowd should continue to be strictly investigated, and the search should continue to be carried out in the places where the tribes lived, and at the same time, people were sent to other surrounding state capitals for interrogation, and the surrounding state capitals were asked to assist in the investigation.
This night, Zhao Ziliang also didn't sleep all night, constantly paying attention to the news from various towns, and began to continue his training before dawn, and this kind of training was practiced diligently every day. After getting the news from all sides early in the morning, Zhao Ziliang felt a little tired after breakfast, so he fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, Zhao Ziliang was awakened by a noise, he immediately turned over and shouted, "Someone!" β
Two men in full armor and with knives walked in and saluted: "General! β
While dressing, Zhao Ziliang asked, "What's going on outside?" Why is it so noisy? β
The two servants glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to speak, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but turn his head, his eyes glared: "Say it quickly!" β
"Uhγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» yes, general, the city lord's mansion chief Shi Hegu Ado was clamoring to see the general outside, saying γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»that some of our garrison cavalry had harmed several local families when they searched for the turk cavalry last night, and this morning the bitter lords rushed to the city lord's mansion to beat the drum and sound their grievances, and the city lord's mansion sent the chief Shi Hegu Ado to come to the garrison to negotiate, Hegu Ado asked the garrison to hand over the soldiers who harmed the people, and Captain Li was negotiating with Hegu Ado γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»."
Zhao Ziliang asked, "How did Li Wentong deal with it?" β
"Captain Li told most of the adults in Hegu that the Shoufu could pay some silver to those bitter masters, so that they would take the silver money and stop making trouble, but Hegu Ado disagreed and insisted on seeing the general, Captain Li said that the general worked all night yesterday and has not woken up yet, and refused to wake up the general, so the two quarreled in the lobby!"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to the two: "Come here and put on a drape for General Ben!" β
"No!"
When Zhao Ziliang came to the main hall wearing armor, cloak, helmet, and a war knife hanging from his waist, Li Wentong and Hegu Ado almost fought.
"That's enough, one of you, as the captain on duty of the Guarding Mansion, and the other as the head of the City Lord's Mansion, are so angry that you want to use force, what kind of system will you become?"
As soon as Zhao Ziliang came out, he reprimanded, Li Wentong and Hegu Aduo, who were blushing and thick-necked, glared at each other, and each snorted, Hegu Ado hugged his fists and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "General, late last night, when the general's subordinates pursued the turbid cavalry and routed the troops, they harmed three families in a Qiuzi village thirty miles north of the city, one of which an old man was killed, and the women of two families were ruined. Ask the City Lord's Mansion to uphold justice, and also ask the general to order those scum in the army to be handed over to the City Lord's Mansion for disposal! β
Zhao Ziliang listened, and said indifferently: "This general already knows, what is the specific truth, this general will also send someone to investigate and verify, if it is really as you said, this general and the garrison will give an explanation to the bitter lords and the governor's mansion and the city lord's mansion, the garrison violates military regulations and military discipline and local laws, my garrison guards and the general will deal with it, there is no need to bother the local government, and there is no precedent for the military officers and soldiers with outstanding achievements to be dealt with by the local government, Lord Hegu will go back first!" Where is Li Wentong? β
Li Wentong immediately stood up and said, "The subordinates are here!" β
"You bring some money to the City Lord's Mansion with Lord Hegu, and together with the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, you will place those bitter masters in the inn, and wait for the Guardian Mansion to send someone to investigate and verify the specific details, and the Guardian Mansion will be solely responsible for the food and accommodation expenses of the Bitter Lords, and after this matter is over, you will report to the account room!"
"No!" Li Wentong agreed, and pulled the reluctant Heguado away.
