After Zhao Ziliang received a large amount of filial piety and benefits from the wealthy chiefs of the Tocharian tribes in Bushi City, he purchased grain and grass in the local market, and spent more than ten days to finally raise all the grain and grass needed by the leaders of the ten tribes, so he distributed all the grain and grass that the leaders of the tribes should have shared to them, and brought them back by themselves, which also saved him and the Tang army a lot of trouble.

After staying in Bushi City for half a month, Zhao Ziliang bid farewell to the Tocharian chieftains and led the army back.

October 19, after a long journey of nearly a month, Zhao Ziliang and his entourage led the army back to Henglus City, and returned the city to Shiguo, who sent troops to take over the city defense, and at the same time Zhao Ziliang ordered to continue to be stationed in Henglus City with 3,000 troops led by Chu Ge, in order to maintain the military deterrence of the Tang army in this area.

At this point, the Tang Dynasty's war against the Great Cannibal was temporarily over, during which the civil strife that broke out in the Great Food Country and the uprisings of the slave people in various regions intensified.

After getting the benefits he deserved, the king of Bahanna, Asiran led his troops back, and Zhao Ziliang left Henglus City with the soldiers and horses of the ten surnamed tribes and returned to the east, along the way, the soldiers and horses returned to their territories one after another with their own grain and grass, and the Tang army led by Zhao Ziliang only carried hundreds of carts of gold and silver, which were sealed after being packed, and there were a large number of weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and jewels and jade among the trophies and a large number of materials captured in Tuzhi City. However, Zhao Ziliang sold all the jewels and jade in the Zhaowu Kingdom and Tocharo, all of them were replaced with gold and silver, which was more convenient to carry, and only the iron part of the weapons and armor and bows and arrows were left, and the others were useless to the Tang army, all of them were sold, and a large amount of gold and silver was also harvested, and Zhao Ziliang led the army to return with only a large amount of gold, silver and iron tools, which could be re-made into weapons and armor that matched the shape and design style of the Tang army after returning to the furnace.

In early October, Zhao Ziliang took more than 4,000 people and nearly 6,000 prisoners back to Xilin to guard and capture, and Gao Shi took some officials from the Shoufu out of the city to greet him. There were 5,000 men when they set out, but only 4,000 returned, more than 400 killed in battle, and more than 500 wounded and disabled.

Let the army return to the barracks to rest, take care of the prisoners, arrange labor for the prisoners, let the prisoners exchange labor for food, and give the soldiers promotions, ranks, and rewards according to the size of their merits, and when they are done, it is already mid-October, Zhao Ziliang has to have a good rest for a few days, take time to accompany his wife and children, and at the same time send people back to his hometown to pick up Zhao Hu's parents, and also began to arrange the marriage of Zhao Hu and Geshu Luoyan.

On October 18, Zhao Ziliang rarely had fun with the three children, took them to the wild to play, the three children have learned to ride horses, the eldest Zhao Lei is only eight years old, the second Zhao Xue and the third Zhao Ting are only seven years old, but they have learned a very good riding skill, and can gallop freely.

Zhao Ziliang took his three children to shoot on a meadow, and in two hours he caught a antelope, two wolves and six hares.

At this time, Wang Can led a few people to gallop from the direction of the town, Zhao Ziliang turned his head and saw it, and said to the three children: "You play by yourself for a while, see how much you can gain, but don't go far!" ”

"Yes, Father!" The three children happily agreed, then rode away and began to look for their prey.

Wang Can rode over and arched his hand: "General, there is news from Chang'an and Anxi respectively!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"After Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, An Sishun and others wrote to intercede, the anger of the saint subsided slightly, but he still demoted General Wang Zhongsi to Hanyang Taishou, and finally saved his life!"

Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan and An Sishun are all rookies in the border army who have risen in recent years, and they have made outstanding achievements, and Xuanzong likes them very much, so after these people interceded, Xuanzong gave them some face, especially Ge Shuhan wrote that he was willing to use his official position to atone for Wang Zhonghei, Xuanzong also felt that Ge Shuhan was a person who valued love and righteousness, and he was also a general, Xuanzong not only did not fear him, but also appreciated his straightforwardness.

When Zhao Ziliang heard this result, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but the worry on his face became even heavier.

Seeing this, Wang Can couldn't help but wonder: "General Wang Zhongsi has no worries about his life, the general should be happy, why is he even more worried?" Is there anything else that can't happen? ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at the far end of the grassland, and sighed: "General Wang is a generation of famous generals and great soldiers who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court, and the emperor, but people like him are misunderstood, feared and persecuted by his own most trusted, relied on and loyal objects!" What do you think he would think? ”

Wang Can's expression was gloomy, he thought for a while, and said, "I think General Wang Zhongsi must be very disappointed and painful!" ”

"Far more than that!" Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "He was misunderstood, jealous and persecuted by the object of his allegiance, which made the spiritual world of his belief collapse, even if he was just demoted to Hanyang Taishou, but I believe that his heart is dead, how long can he live?" General Wang has not tasted defeat in all these years, so who in this world can defeat him? He was defeated by himself! ”

"Hey—" Wang Can also sighed.

Zhao Ziliang said: "After a period of time, the Shoufu will send officials back to the mainland to recruit soldiers and villagers, and I will write a letter after I go back, you take the letter and hand it to the official in charge of this matter, and let him go to Hanyang to meet General Wang when he goes back, bring my greetings, and hand over the letter to him in person!" ”

Wang Can promised: "No! ”

The officials who returned to the mainland to recruit soldiers and villagers presented Zhao Ziliang's letter after meeting Wang Zhonghe, and relayed Zhao Ziliang's comments on Wang Zhonghei that day.

Zhao Ziliang cleaned up his mood and asked, "What news is coming from Anxi?" ”

Wang Can said: "In September, General Gao Xianzhi returned triumphantly, and without informing the Jiedu envoy General Fumeng, he sent the envoy Wang Tingxiang to the imperial court to win the victory, and General Fumeng thought that General Gao was proud of his military merits and did not take him seriously, so when General Gao led the army back, General Fumeng not only did not send someone to greet the condolences, but called General Gao to scold, and General Gao could only let him scold. General Gao is a native of Korea and does not know much about officialdom, so he ignores General Fumeng's feelings, and General Fumeng may have been instigated by his subordinates to have a dislike for General Gao, which was originally just a misunderstanding. The Chinese envoy Bian Lingcheng had always been at odds with General Fumeng, so he secretly wrote to report the matter to the emperor, saying that if a person like General Gao Xianzhi who had made great contributions would not only not be promoted and rewarded, but would be insulted, then who would be loyal to the imperial court in the future? The emperor listened to Bian Lingcheng's slander and thought that General Fumeng had done too much in this matter, so he issued an edict to transfer General Fumeng to the capital, and appointed General Gao Xianzhi as Hongluqing and regent Shi Zhongcheng, and took over the deputy capital of Anxi and the envoy of the four towns! ”

Zhao Ziliang's face turned blue after hearing this, "You're right, this must be just a misunderstanding, but because Bian Lingcheng, a eunuch, acted as a shit-stirring stick in the middle, it was really hateful, if I got the opportunity, I would definitely cut this damn eunuch with a thousand knives!" Has General Fumeng left for the capital now? Which route did he take? ”

Wang Can said: "The news has just arrived, General Fumeng should almost set off, and now this season, General Fumeng should take the route of Xizhou, Yizhou, and then Guazhou." Does the general want to? ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed and said, "I haven't seen General Fumeng for many years, and I don't know when I will be able to meet the general!" Wang Can, you go and prepare, I'm going to Gaochang to wait for General Fumeng and give him a ride! ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang immediately sent someone to retrieve the three children, quickly returned to the Shouzhu Mansion, and rushed to Gaochang with dozens of guards on the same day.

After three days and three nights of sleeplessness, Zhao Ziliang finally arrived in Gaochang on October 21, and after inquiry, he learned that Fumeng Lingjing and his party had not yet arrived in Gaochang, so he took his soldiers and followers to live in Gaochang.

Two days later, on October 23, Fu Meng Lingjing, who had been transferred to the capital by edict, came to Gaochang with his family and personal guards, and Zhao Ziliang immediately went to meet him when he got the news.

Fu Meng Lingjing and Zhao Ziliang, who were once superiors and subordinates and were like confidants and friends, finally met again after several years of separation. As soon as the two met, Zhao Ziliang became more and more mature and steady, and Fu Meng Lingjing was also older, because the gap between him and Gao Xianzhi was transferred away by Xuanzong and looked a little decadent, and his temples were white, and the two of them suddenly sighed.

Outside Gaochang City, there were only the backs of the two of them in military uniforms on the endless field, and the two did not speak for a long time, and finally Zhao Ziliang broke the silence and sighed: "The general Meng Lang this time, Gao Xianzhi is a Goryeo, he doesn't understand the rules of my Tang Dynasty officialdom, and he can't be blamed for ignoring the general and reporting to the imperial court, this was originally just a misunderstanding, but it has made this situation now, which is really sad!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing shook his head and sighed: "A certain person also has soft ears, and he was instigated by Chen Fengzhong and others, so he scolded Gao Xianzhi in a fit of anger, and he regretted it when he thought about it afterwards!" At this point, it is useless to say more! By the way, Dugujun and Liu Wei and others can't do it anymore, they plan to go to the capital with me, but the water in the capital is very deep, who knows what kind of situation I am in the capital? They are all talented people, I want them to follow you, you are still young, although you are now relegated to Xilin Guard, but I believe that you will rise soon, let them follow you and run suspiciously for a future, what do you think? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "I have always admired the two adults very much, and I can't ask for them to help me, but I'm afraid that I will wronged them!" ”

"It's okay, I'll tell them!"

Fu Meng Lingjing talked to Liu and Dugu for a while, and the two agreed to stay with Zhao Ziliang, and their families also stayed together.

The next day, Zhao Ziliang, Liu Wei, Dugujun and others were reluctant to send off their husband Meng Lingjing, and then everyone got on the horse and returned to Xilin to guard and capture. (To be continued.) )
