A large tomb was erected on the hill next to Toyun Castle.
In front of the tomb stood a wooden tombstone.
On the tombstone were engraved seven names.
The owners of these names were alive and kicking a few days ago, but now they lie under the tomb.
A lifeless corpse.
Zhao Ziliang knew that his position as acting captain was earned with the lives of the men lying under these tombs.
If he wanted to be promoted to general based on his military exploits, the number of people who would die would definitely not be a small number.
This really proves that statement. , one general will achieve great success and ten thousand bones will wither.
Zhao Ziliang stood expressionless in front of the tombstone for an hour in the cold wind.
Sangouzi was always by his side.
He didn't say a word because he knew that Zhao Ziliang didn't want to talk now, and he didn't want to talk either.
Silence doesn't mean dullness.
The inner emotions of the silent ones are richer.
With an inner sigh, Zhao Ziliang took off his helmet with both hands and put it under his left armpit.
He made a fist with his right hand and pressed it on his chest, then slowly lowered his head towards the tombstone.
When Sangouzi saw this, he immediately followed suit.
After a long time, Zhao Ziliang put on his helmet again, subconsciously grasped the handle of the horizontal knife with his left hand, turned around and walked back down the mountain, with Sangouzi following closely behind.
As a soldier, he was a soldier in his previous life, and he is also a soldier now.
It has become his instinct to never leave his hands with weapons.
However, the weapon in his previous life was an automatic rifle, and now the weapon is a horizontal knife.
Back in the fort, Zhao Ziliang took San Gouzi to the school ground.
Now he is temporarily acting as the leader of the third group, and his third group is conducting routine drills at the school ground.
In the past, the soldiers were very leisurely, and there were many soldiers walking around freely in the fort.
But after the battle a few days ago, the fort chairman Yun Qing learned from the Tuqi Shi envoy that Tuo Qi Shi was in chaos, and immediately ordered the soldiers of Tuo Yun Bao to The alert level has been raised by two levels, northwest and The garrison strength at the two southeastern city gates has been increased from one to two thousand troops, and sentries have been added to the city towers.
The patrol area has also been pushed to the northwest for about twenty miles, so there are now very few people walking freely in the fort.
It seemed a little empty.
Two soldiers came towards me.
When they saw Zhao Ziliang, they said hello: "Captain Zhao, let's go to the school ground."
The entire Tuoyun Fort, including its chairman Yun Qing, only had 168 people.
Although Zhao Ziliang could not name these two soldiers, he knew them and knew that they were Xi Yunqing's guards.
He nodded with a smile and said: " yes" After walking past Zhao Ziliang, one of the two guards whispered to the other: "Did you know that there is a letter from the Lord's family?
Madam has given the Lord a little son.
She has already given birth to three daughters.
This time I'm finally happy to have the young master, and there is a heir to the Xi family.
The castle master was so happy when he saw the letter, and he just ordered some extra food for us servants."
Another guard said: "So that's it.
Why is the castle master so happy today?"
Zhao Ziliang felt something in his heart when he heard it, but he didn't stop and walked directly to the school ground.
"Crack" "Ha" "Chop" "Ha" "Tease" "Ha" "thorn" "ha" A commander held the handle of the sword and stood in front of fifty soldiers shouting slogans.
The soldiers kept yelling and making slashing attacks.
This was Zhao Ziliang's third group.
Although there were only fifty people, they created a great momentum.
It can be seen that the Tang army also attached great importance to training.
In addition to these fifty, there are another fifty people practicing on the other side of the school field.
The person shouting the slogan was the tallest man, Wei Meng.

When he saw Zhao Ziliang approaching, he quickly stopped, then saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "Team leader" Wei Meng's ten standard big men, this guy is at least 1.95 meters tall, but skinny.
Therefore, even though he is big, he was not chosen by Xi Yunqing to be a guard.
He just became a small and tall man. .
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Continue to practice."
"Yes, Captain" Observing the training of the Paoze men, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but think of the battle with the Tuqi Shi cavalry a few days ago.
Although it was only a small-scale encounter, Zhao Ziliang still found that in terms of cavalry shooting and cavalry combat, the Tang army was no better than the Tuqi Shi cavalry.
There wasn't much of an advantage.
He could lead nine cavalry that day.
Killing the opponent's thirty cavalry was nothing more than taking advantage of the well-equipped equipment.
The cavalry under his command were all wearing bright light armor, and their defensive power was much stronger than the leather armor of the sudden cavalry, and all the arrows of the opponent were The animal teeth are not made of iron arrows, and their penetrating power is naturally much inferior to the iron arrows of the Tang Army.
If all his cavalry were to wear the same leather armor, weapons, and bows, his cavalry squad would definitely be overwhelmed by the opponent, and eventually the entire army would be destroyed.
Zhao Ziliang also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, the Tuqishi were a nation on horseback, and they had advantages that the Han people in the Central Plains could not match in terms of mounted shooting and mounted combat.
While watching the soldiers drill, he thought, it seems that the training in cavalry archery and cavalry combat needs to be strengthened, as well as discipline and physical fitness training.
However, the food in the fort is not rich.
In order to save food, each soldier usually only eats one meal a day.
Therefore, the amount of training of the soldiers is limited.
If the amount of training is too large, the soldiers' physical fitness will not be able to bear it.
Therefore, if you want to increase the amount of training, you can only add one or two meals.
But if you add one meal per day, you will have to double the food.
Where does the extra food come from?
The fort will definitely not give it to you.
You can only think about it yourself. way.
In the battles of the past few days, a batch of trophies from the Tuqishi were seized.
In addition to the war horses, you can get a sum of money after selling other things.
However, this money cannot be touched.
This is what the robes paid for with their lives and blood.
Yes, this money must be counted as a pension and sent to their families by the trustee.
Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while and had an idea in his mind.
Now he was just a team leader and could not make the decision in Tuoyun Castle.
He wanted to increase the rations for the soldiers, increase the amount of training on this basis, and increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
A different approach must be found.
Zhao Ziliang remembered what he heard the two guards say before coming here, and immediately had an idea in his mind.
After telling Wei Meng, he took San Gouzi and went straight to Xi Yunqing's residence.
Sangouzi was originally a soldier of the first group.
After Zhao Ziliang was promoted to the position of leader of the third group, he took him over from Huo Kan, the leader of the first group.
After all, they were both group leaders and colleagues.
Huo Kan It was still a favor, and he agreed to transfer Sangouzi to Zhao Ziliang as a guard.
Arriving at the residence of the fort chairman Yun Qing, Zhao Ziliang met one of the two guards he met earlier and asked: "I heard that the fort master is happy to have a son.
I am here to congratulate him.
Is the fort master here?"
The guard was very happy when he heard this and said repeatedly: "Yes, Captain Zhao, please come in."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and walked into Xi Yunqing's residence.
Xi Yunqing was practicing martial arts with a horizontal sword.
Zhao Ziliang walked in and did not disturb him.

He just stood aside and watched quietly.
When Xi Yunqing finished practicing, he immediately raised his hands and said loudly: "The master of the castle is really good at martial arts."
Xi Yunqing wiped his sweat and turned around when he heard the sound.
He still admired Zhao Ziliang very much and said with a smile: "Zi Liang is here, come and sit in the room."
The two came to the house and sat down.
A pot of water was boiling on the stove.
Without waiting for Xi Yunqing to pour the tea, Zhao Ziliang said: "I heard that the Lord of the fort has a new young master, and there is a successor to the Xi family.
Zi Liang came here to congratulate me.
Congratulations to the Lord of the fort."
"Hahaha" Xi Yunqing laughed, obviously in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to spread it around, and I also asked the guards not to tell it in private, but I didn't expect that Ziliang would know about it anyway."
Zhao Ziliang took out some gold and silver jewelry that he had seized a few days ago and put them on the table and said with a smile: "The castle master is very happy to have the young master, and his subordinates and brothers don't have anything good to give to the young master.
This is a gift from the subordinates and brothers."
A little thought, not worth a lot of money, it is a gift from the brothers to the young master, I hope the castle master will not dislike it."
Xi Yunqing didn't want it when he saw it, but after hearing that Zhao Ziliang said it was for his son, he couldn't refuse with a straight face.
After thinking about it, he accepted it and said with a smile on his face: "Zi Liang is interested."
As he said that, Xi Yunqing was thinking about how to give Zhao Ziliang something in return.
How could he give something in return to Zhao Ziliang after receiving the gift?
He quickly came up with an idea and said to Zhao Ziliang: "By the way, Ziliang, then Mo He."
Dagan’s envoy has regained consciousness after treatment.
After all, this matter is of great importance.
I thought about it.
Tian sent someone to send him to Shule, and reported to General Fumeng the situation of the battle with the Tuqishi cavalry the day before yesterday.
You are the person involved.
I want to send you and a few people to send Mohe Dagan's envoy to Shule.
The most suitable.
Besides, didn’t you seize a batch of trophies?
Just bring them over and deal with them.”
Soldiers cannot leave the station without orders.
If they cannot go out, the captured trophies cannot be sold.
With Xi Yuanqing's order, it is different.
Zhao Ziliang knows this very well.
This is all the result of the few pieces of jewelry just now. .
He quickly thanked: "Thank you Lord for taking care of me."
After speaking, he continued: "Lord of the Fortress, there is civil strife in Tuqishi now.
I am afraid that we will be frequently harassed by Tuqishi cavalry.
My subordinates think that the training of our soldiers is too little at present, and we must strengthen the training." ah" Xi Yunqing sighed after hearing this: "Hey, you think I don't want to, but you also know that our food and grass here are limited.
If we increase the amount of training, I'm afraid the soldiers' bodies will not be able to bear it."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "That's true, but Lord of the fort, if the Tuqishi attack comes and we have too few troops, we will have to huddle in the fort to defend, and we will only be passively beaten.
Do you think we can dispatch a team of people to station in the fort?"
Outside the fort, on the one hand, the scope of investigation can be expanded, and on the other hand, if there is an attack by the Tuqishi cavalry, a group of men stationed outside the fort can surprise the flanks of the Tuqishi cavalry and catch them off guard."
Xi Yunqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Your idea is quite novel and very good.
I want to think about it carefully.
Let's discuss it in detail after you come back from Shule."
"Yes," Zhao Ziliang said, stood up and clasped his fists at Xi Yunqing and said, "Then I'll go back first to prepare for going to Shule Town tomorrow."
"Well, go ahead":
