Killed Li Hongding, Liang Wenzhao, the guy sent by Li Linfu, ran away without a trace, Zhao Ziliang ordered to recall the cavalry and subordinates of the Shenwu Army who chased and killed the Doulu rout, after counting, there are only one hundred and twenty cavalry left in the one thousand Shenwu army, and the others either died on the previous march or died in this battle, and the two hundred Hu cavalry he brought only one hundred and sixty people remained, and the total total was only more than three hundred.

After arranging for the soldiers to rest, Zhao Ziliang wrote a memo and a letter respectively, and sent people to the imperial court and the envoy of Hexi Jiedu Wang Qi, respectively, to describe in detail the incident of Li Hongding, the assassin of Shazhou and the envoy of the Doulu army, who led troops to attack the escort team.

After a few days of marching was very smooth, no longer encountered natural disasters and man-made disasters, after entering the territory of Yizhou, there were more oases along the way, and grain and grass and food could be replenished at any time, and it did not take a few days to arrive at Yiwu, the seat of Yizhou, where Zhao Ziliang saw Sima Ying, the assassin of Yizhou, and deposited the captured six thousand war horses here, and then came to pick them up when he returned.

After resting for two days in Yiwu, Zhao Ziliang and his entourage continued to set off, passing through Nazhi County and Luohu Shouju in Yizhou along the way, and then entered the territory of Xizhou, passing through Chiting Shouchou, Puchang County, Qianting County of Xizhou Zhizhu (formerly the hometown of Gaochang State), and Jiaohe County.

When they arrived in Jiaohe County, the team camped here and rested for another day, this Jiaohe County is the fief of the Li family of Jiaohe Princess, and it stands to reason that arriving here is equivalent to going to her territory, but she, the Jiaohe Princess, is just a name, and she has not actually obtained the fief of Jiaohe County.

After resting for a day in Jiaohe County, Zhao Ziliang led a large army to escort Ashina Xin and his wife to continue to advance, passing through Tianshan County, crossing Yinshan and entering Yanqi Town, one of the four towns of Anxi, passing through Zhang Sancheng to guard and capture, Yanqi, cross Tiemen Pass, and Wulei Prefecture.

On August 29, Zhao Ziliang and his entourage of more than 300 people escorted Ashina Xin and his wife to Qiuzi Town, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate Office.

Outside Qiuzi City, Fumeng Lingjing, Bian Lingcheng, Liu Wei, Dugu Jun, Cheng Qianli, Bi Sichen, Gao Xianzhi and a large number of civil and military generals from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Jiedu Embassy stood at the door to greet them, and the official ranks of Fumeng Lingjing and Bian Lingcheng did not need to come to the city gate to greet them, but Fumeng Lingjing has always valued Zhao Ziliang, and now Zhao Ziliang is the Xuanwei general who escorted Ashina Xin to the Tuqi Shi to take up his post. As for Bian Lingcheng, it was because Fu Meng Lingjing came, and it was a bit inappropriate for him not to come, although he and Zhao Ziliang had a conflict a few years ago.

Before Zhao Ziliang and the others got off the horse, Fu Meng Lingjing couldn't wait to catch up and laughed: "Ziliang, I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I finally have come to look forward to you!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately jumped off the horse and stepped forward to bow down: "The last general will meet the general, after a farewell of years, the general's demeanor is still the same, and the majesty is better than back then!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing liked to hear this, he smiled happily, laughed and helped Zhao Ziliang up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hahaha······ Okay, okay, you were only eighteen years old when you left, and you were already General Ning Yuan at that time, and now a few years have passed, you have really grown up, your body has grown more burly, and your military rank has become General Xuanwei, and General Ben really didn't see the wrong person! ”

Zhao Ziliang said sincerely: "If there is no general to support, how can there be a last general today." This time, the last general escorted Ashina Xin and his wife all the way, but I am afraid that I will cause trouble to the general."

Fu Meng Lingjing waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about, they are all your own people, a banquet has been set up in the house, just waiting for you to come, if you have anything to say, let's go back and eat while talking!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing's words didn't take Ash Naxin in his eyes at all, but with his current official position, he also had the confidence not to put Ash Naxin in his eyes, but at this time, Ash Naxin walked over quickly and saluted him: "Little Khan Ash Naxin has seen Fu Meng's handsome!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing turned his head to look at Ashina Xin, and said in an indifferent tone: "The Khan is polite, a banquet has been set up in the house, so please invite the Khan and Kedun to participate together, let Ben Shuai do his best to be a landlord, please!" ”

Although this sentence is very cold in tone, it is undoubtedly a natural voice for Ashina Xin, he has no strength to return to Tuqi Shi this time, and if he wants to sit on the throne of the ten surnamed Khans, he can only rely on the military strength of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi, and the spokesperson of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi is the deputy capital protector of Anxi, the envoy of Jiedu, and the envoy of the soldiers and horses.

Today's Fumeng Lingjing can be said to be a real combination of military and political power, he is not only the deputy protector of Anxi, the envoy of the Jiedu of the west of the city, but also the envoy of the capital of the army and horses, the armies directly under the jurisdiction of all parts of Anxi are under his control, and even the local county soldiers are under his control, and no one can oppose him.

Ashina Xin was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Thank you for your hospitality, Xiao Khan and Neiko are grateful!" ”

Here, Zhao Ziliang was also busy greeting other officials and generals one by one, Zhao Ziliang looked at Bian Lingcheng and said with a smile: "Lord Bian, I haven't seen you for a few years, don't come to harm!" Oh, the adult's skin has turned white again, what a gratifying blessing! ”

Bian Lingcheng's age is not very old, but his eyebrows and hair are all white, he listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, the two sets of white eyebrows were pulled, the flesh on his face shook a few times, and he sneered: "General Zhao has grown a lot taller and stronger in recent years, presumably the food in the capital must be much better than this Anxi!" It's just that the soldiers behind General Zhao are all embarrassed, all dressed in tatters, and the general is too stingy, right? Why don't you put on better clothes for the soldiers, and you will lose face."

Zhao Ziliang didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I encountered a few small miscellaneous fish on the road, and the last general had to take the brothers to clean them up, including Shazhou Thorn Shi and Doulu Army Envoy Li Hongding, this person was bold and fell in love with the gold, silver and jewelry that the Holy Lord rewarded Ashina Xin Khan, and even brought three thousand Doulu troops to rob them, and was picked up by the last general!" ”

Bian Lingcheng asked, "What happened to him?" ”

Zhao Ziliang spread his hands: "Of course it's killed, what else can it do?" ”

"You ······" Bian Lingcheng pointed at Zhao Ziliang's nose angrily and reprimanded: "He is also a state assassin, why did you kill him casually?" He should be caught and handed over to the imperial court for disposal! ”

"Hmph, Lord Bian, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, but he has three thousand elite Doulu army cavalry in his palm, how easy is it to catch him? Besides, life and death are instantaneous on the field, where can you control the rise of killing? ”

"Strong words, you are making excuses for killing people!" Bian Ling snorted angrily, "You wait, this official must play this matter to you, and I will give you a copy!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand with a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't care at all: "Participate, participate, Lord Bian wants to participate in the last general, and the last general will naturally be unstoppable, but the last general asked, what does this have to do with you, you are the lieutenant envoy sent to Anxi by the Holy Lord, Li Hongding is the assassin of Shazhou, whether he dies or not is your business?" I think you're a dog with a mouse, nosy! ”

"You······ Sharp teeth, hum! Bian Lingcheng flicked his sleeves and twisted his head to the side, never looking this way again.

Zhao Ziliang didn't care either, and said to Liu Wei and Dugujun: "Two adults, I haven't seen you for many years, don't you come to harm?" ”

Although the two of them were promoted all the way from Shule Town to the Jiedu Embassy with Fumeng Lingjing, their official ranks were not as fast as Zhao Ziliang's, so the two of them did not dare to rely on the old and sell the old in front of Zhao Ziliang, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The lower officials are very good, thank you for the general's concern, in a few years, the general has become more vigorous than before, congratulations!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded with a smile, and smiled at Cheng Qianli, Bi Sichen, and Gao Xianzhi: "Three generals, long time no see!" ”

Zhao Ziliang saved Bi Sichen's order, the two are commensurate with brothers, and the relationship is the best, Bi Sichen laughed and said: "Hahaha, I've been looking forward to you coming over for a long time, and today I finally got what I wanted, and our brothers must have a few drinks later!" ”

"Okay, Brother Bi is interested, and the younger brother will definitely accompany him to the end!"

Gao Xianzhi was recommended by Zhao Ziliang and reused by Fumeng Lingjing, and his relationship with Zhao Ziliang was also extraordinary, and he was also one of the participants in the Western Regions Plan, one of the four members of Fumeng Lingjing, Zhao Ziliang, and Gai Jiayun, he smiled and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Four or five years have passed, and General Zhao's prestige often comes from Chang'an and Hexi. ”

Zhao Ziliang laughed: "I can't ask for it, and I'm about to ask the general for advice."

It's Cheng Qianli's turn, this guy has always been dissatisfied with Fu Meng Lingjing's attention to Zhao Ziliang, thinking that Zhao Ziliang is a little kid, why is he promoted faster than him, and his official position is higher than him? Therefore, he has always been lukewarm to Zhao Ziliang, and he used to often speak ill of Zhao Ziliang in front of his husband Meng Lingjing.

He nodded coldly, it was a greeting, Zhao Ziliang didn't mind, and continued to greet the other generals who came to greet him.

Bai Xiaode and Fugu Huaien looked at Zhao Ziliang excitedly as they walked over, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The last general will wait to meet the general!" ”

Since the two of them participated in the martial arts and were on the list, they were sent back to Anxi to serve, their official positions have been improved, and they have both become ranger generals, and they are naturally grateful to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang helped them up and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you have been very competitive in the past two years, today the festival will hold a banquet in the embassy, and you will come later, let's have a few drinks."

The two excitedly agreed: "No! ”

"General!" A tall general next to him took two steps forward and saluted: "The last general, Li Siye, greets the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and saw that it was indeed Li Siye, but he was more mature and stable than a few years ago, and said with a smile: "Okay, aren't you in Broken Leaf City?" How is it here? ”

Li Siye said with a smile: "After Marshal Fumeng received the general's letter of recommendation, he transferred the last general to be the Modao general of the Jiedu Embassy."

"I see, this is just the right time to play your strengths, do a good job!"

"No!" (To be continued.) )
