Outside the fort, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.
Fumeng Lingjin and others were patrolling on horseback.
Corpses were carried on carts and dragged away.
When the cavalry fled, they discarded a large number of weapons, armor, arrows, The Tang army also seized a large amount of beef, mutton and horses in the camp of the Tuqishi people.
The results of this battle were great.
Five thousand cavalrymen came, but only a few hundred people escaped in the end.
Everything was left behind.
These captures will be divided into three parts, one part of which was rewarded by Fumeng Lingzhen. meritorious officers and soldiers, and the other part is given as a pension to Of course, Zhao Ziliang needs to do this for the families of those fallen soldiers, because the main losses were the soldiers of Tuoyunbao.
The soldiers and horses brought by Fumeng Lingjin did not lose much, and the last part was left by Fumeng Lingjin for later.
Shule Town will be used as reserve materials.
Seeing the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, Fumeng Lingjin thought about the defense issues of Tuoyun Castle after he left.
He called Zhao Ziliang and said, "Ziliang, it is impossible for me, the general, to stay in Tuoyun Castle all the time until the battlefield is cleaned."
Finished, this general will set off back to Shule Town tomorrow.
Now When Xi Yunqing was seriously injured, he was afraid that he would not be able to serve as director within two or three months, so he was asked to follow my general back to Shule Town to recuperate.
If we just sent someone over to take over in a hurry, the new people would not be familiar with this place.
After much thought, I still want you to stay in Tuoyun Castle for the time being. , I will leave you with another four hundred men.
In addition to the nearly two hundred men left, six hundred men should be enough.
I know that it is right for you to stay in Tuoyun Castle as the master of the castle with the rank of Colonel Zhaowu.
I feel a little wronged, and it can be considered that I am overqualified, but Tu Qishi was defeated today. , I am worried that they will come back unwilling to fail.
I can only rest assured if you stay here.
However, I will not let you stay here forever.
After the Tuqishi rebellion is resolved, I will definitely give you It’s up to you to find a suitable location.”
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the Tang Dynasty needs it, I will have no objection.
Please rest assured, general.
As long as I, Zhao Ziliang, stay here in Tuoyun Fort for a day, Tuqi Shiren will never think of going deep into Anxi through Tuoyun Fort." hinterland" After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, Fumeng Lingjing's heart was full of righteousness.
He was also quite emotional.
I wonder which general in the world has no selfishness but always has the interests of the Tang Dynasty at heart.
I'm afraid there are few generals in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Can't find a few.
Fumeng Lingjin patted Zhao Ziliang on the shoulder and sighed: "You are very good.
I, the general, did not misjudge the person.
With your mind, you are destined to achieve great things.
Do you have any other requirements?"
I haven't left yet, so tell me quickly, I will solve it for you before I leave."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and then held up his hands and said: "General, I have no other requests.
If the imperial court decides to send troops to quell the Tuqishi rebellion in the future, please allow me to join the conquest army.
I am willing to be a pawn in front of the general." " Fu Meng Lingjin laughed loudly and said: "This general can promise you this."
"Thank you General" The next day, when sending off her husband Meng Lingjin, Bi Sichen stepped forward and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Brother Zhao, thank you for saving me this time, otherwise I, Lao Bi, would have been here.
I can't express my gratitude.
If Brother Zhao goes to Shule Town in the future, he must let me know so that I can express my gratitude."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Brother Bi, you don't need to keep it in mind.
I work under General Fumeng as a colleague.
When there is a war, we should also be brothers of life and death.
No matter who sees that situation, he will do whatever he can under the circumstances."

Take action" Bi Sichen said nothing and bowed deeply.
Zhao Ziliang said to Panzhu Junxiu again: "Princess, you should go back quickly.
Maybe your father is already very anxious at this time.
And as a guerrilla general guarding the ambassador's palace, you can't always be in Tuoyunbao.
General Dotif is the only one who can share his worries."
Panzhu Junxiu originally didn't want to leave right away, but after hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, she knew she couldn't stay here anymore, but she pouted and said: "Okay, but you must go to the spa when you have time."
"Look at me" "Don't worry, I will go if I have the chance."
Xi Yunqing had already woken up.
He was being carried on a stretcher by several soldiers.
Zhao Ziliang walked over and saluted.
Xi Yunqing was seriously injured and his mental state was not very good.
He forced a smile and said: "Ziliang, I have stayed in Tuoyun Castle for nearly ten years, but now I can leave because of my serious injury."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Fortmaster, you have made great contributions to Tuoyun Fort in the past ten years.
This time, the cavalrymen attacked.
If it weren't for you, Lord, Tuoyun Fort would have been lost long ago.
I have already sent a message to Zhao Ziliang."
General Fumeng explained the situation.
The castle owner should believe in the Tang Dynasty, the court, and General Fumeng."
Xi Yunqing sighed: "I hope so.
I will leave Tuoyun Castle to you."
"Lord, don't worry" Zhao Ziliang became the new Lord of Tuoyun Castle.
After sending away Fumeng Lingjin and others as well as 500 people, he immediately presided over the ceremony to bury the fallen soldiers.
Since the number of dead soldiers was relatively large at this time, reaching more than 300 people, so They can only be buried in groups, He sent people to dig a big pit in the mountain next to Tuoyun Fort, buried all the soldiers who died in the battle, and erected a large grave.
In front of the tomb, he erected a large stone tablet.
Six hundred soldiers saw off the more than 300 people who died in the battle.
After dinner that day, Zhao Ziliang summoned the military leaders above the team leader to discuss matters in the main hall.
"Everyone, I have called you here tonight to discuss a few things.
The first thing I want to talk about is the issue of rewards.
During this war, we had many soldiers in Tuoyun Castle who made great contributions.
If you don't reward your merits, you won't be able to convince everyone.
In two days, report the list of meritorious soldiers in your unit, and we will reward them based on their merits."
Everyone stood up together and bowed their hands to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Promise" "Okay, everyone, please take a seat."
Zhao Ziliang pressed his hands and said: "Another thing is also very important, and that is about the pensions for the fallen soldiers and the placement of those injured soldiers who can no longer stay in the army. , today I have inquired After asking about this, we found that we lost 348 people in this battle, and 46 people were injured and had to leave the army.
Although these 46 people cannot march and fight, they can still move freely and take care of themselves.
I can do some work, I mean.
First, we should distribute the pensions to the 348 people who died in battle.
If the pensions go to the inns, I don’t feel at ease.
No one knows whether the people in the inns will deduct some from them.
I intend to allocate one from the army. centaurs send pensions back to their families For the time being, we will only send the pensions to Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, Hedong, Jiannan and other places.
As for the families of the fallen soldiers whose families are in other places, because the distance is too far, we will find another way to send the pensions to their families.
I know what you think."
Jia Chongguan said: "Fortmaster, I have only heard of rewards and rewards, but I have never heard of any compensation.
Everyone who comes to the frontier to join the army receives a settlement allowance, and military pay every month.
On the day of joining the army, From the beginning, their lives were not It’s your own life.
If you die in battle, it’s their life too.

If you die, you will die.
Why waste so much money to give it to their families?
If we follow the fortress master’s approach, our military pay will not be enough to give it to those who died in battle.
Soldiers receive pensions”
After Jia Chongguan finished speaking, everyone else remained silent.
Only Zhao Chongxuan said: "Fortmaster, I don't think there is any need to pay any pension, but more rewards can be given to the meritorious soldiers.
Furthermore, I will die in this battle thanks to Yunbao.
Many chiefs and team leaders have been replaced, and these military positions need to be supplemented by meritorious people."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the others and asked: "As for the vacant military positions, we will talk about the issue of pensions later.
Do you have the same views as Jia Duizheng and Zhao Duizheng?"
Huo Kan stood up and saluted and said: "Fort Master, there is indeed no such thing as pensions in the army, and there is no precedent in the military elsewhere.
However, if the fort master provides pensions to the families of fallen soldiers, as long as the conditions permit, of course I will wait.
I won’t object.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will not die in the next battle.
Everyone wants to After his death, his family can live a better life, so that we can feel more at ease even if we go down below.
The fort master will pay pensions to the fallen soldiers.
This is the fort master's kindness to the fallen soldiers.
I believe that those soldiers are well If you know better, you will definitely be grateful to the fortress lord, and your subordinates and the first group of soldiers of the first team will support the fortress lord’s decision.”
After hearing what Huo Kan said, two of them, Wei Meng and He, also stood up and said, "Fort Master, our first team, second group, and third group also support the fort master's decision."
After this battle, both Jia Chongguan and Zhao Chongxuan had only more than fifty men left.
In terms of military strength, although these two men were both captains, they really only had the strength of one group.
The first group led by Zhao Ziliang was actually There are still more than a hundred people, and they are basically cavalry.
The remaining four hundred people are left by Fumeng Lingcha, and no specific distribution has been made yet.
Now three of them, Huo Kan, Wei Meng and He, support Zhao Ziliang, which means that more than half of the original Tuoyunbao soldiers support Zhao Ziliang's decision.
When Jia Chongguan and Zhao Chongxuan saw this, they could only change their original intentions and turned from opposition to support.
They both said at the same time: "Since the brothers have said this, and if there is money in the castle, it all depends on the castle owner and me."
There is nothing to say”
