Diaguan City was called Gumo Kingdom during the Han Dynasty.
In the 22nd year of Emperor Taizong, Tang general Ashinasheer defeated the Kucha army here and captured the King of Kucha alive.
Diawhuan City was originally under the jurisdiction of Qiuci Town, but for unknown reasons, the Anxi Protectorate handed over Diawhuan City to the jurisdiction of Shule Town two years ago.
As the eldest son of the king of Shule Kingdom and the lord of Diazhuai City, Pan Lengleng had received the news a few days ago that Zhao Ziliang, his soon-to-be brother-in-law, was coming to Diazhuai City to take up the post of guard.
Early this morning, he specially sent a courier He immediately went to find out where Zhao Ziliang and his party had arrived, and led a group of officials from the city lord's palace to greet them at the city gate.
Logically speaking, Pan Lengleng, as the city lord of Dialong City, had a higher position than Zhao Ziliang, so he did not have to go to the city entrance to greet him in person.
However, he heard that Zhao Ziliang was the beloved general of his husband Meng Lingjin, and he was also quite popular with his father.
The king's appreciation, so he thought it was necessary to establish a good relationship with Zhao Ziliang, which would be beneficial to his future succession to the throne.
A dozen officials, big and small, and some entourage and soldiers stood at the gate of the city and looked up.
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, Zhao Ziliang and others were still missing.
Ma Han, the deputy guard, yawned and said: "Lord of the city "Look, the sun is about to set.
I think General Zhao will probably not come today.
We might as well go back first and come back early tomorrow morning to wait."
Pan turned his head and glanced at Ma Han coldly, not giving him a good look.
Ma Han often paid tribute to Bian Lingcheng.
Relying on Bian Lingcheng's support, he often ignored Pan Lingcheng.
When he convened various military and political officials in the city to discuss military affairs at the city lord's palace, Ma Han often made excuses.
No, it has happened several times, which made Pan Lengleng extremely unhappy.
"Huh, Captain Ma, if you don't want to wait, you can go back first.
If anyone doesn't want to wait, you can follow Captain Ma."
Pan said coldly, waving his sleeves and turning around without looking at him.
Ma Han looked at Pan with a gloomy look in his cold eyes after hearing this.
He looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "It's getting late.
General Zhao will definitely not come today.
A certain family has military affairs to attend to and cannot afford to delay.
After such a certain person leaves, Zhao The general has arrived and knows that I am busy with military affairs.
I will not blame you, so I will not wait here with you.
I will take my leave."
After saying that, Ma Han flicked his cloak and turned to leave.
Several of his lieutenants also waved their goodbyes to other officials present.
An official couldn't see it, and pointed at the backs of Ma Han and others angrily: "This Ma Han is really too presumptuous.
In recent months, he has become even more serious.
He relies on his support and doesn't take us seriously at all.
It's really Extremely hateful” All the officials nodded and murmured, each criticizing Ma Han.
At this time, a slow voice said: "Master Wu, this Ma Han didn't deliberately get into trouble with you, so why do you risk offending him by talking behind his back?"
Let's not talk about people's gossip, he is a member of the military, we are civil servants, and we belong to different systems.
He is unruly, so naturally someone will deal with him, so we'd better not provoke him."
"Of course someone will treat him."
The official sneered, and then said: "You said it lightly.
He has a castrate to support him.
Who dares to touch him?"
The official who spoke just now smiled and said: "Why don't we welcome who is here today?"
"You mean General Zhao and I have heard that General Zhao is brave, but we don't know if he has the guts to risk offending the eunuch and punish Na Ma Han."
Someone sighed: "If there is no one to punish the soldiers who changed the city, I'm afraid there will be big trouble.
As for General Zhao, let's wait and see."

People gathered in groups of three or five and talked in low voices.
Pan Lengleng stood at the front, turned to look at the people behind him, shook his head, took a hand stove from the attendant next to him and baked it cold.
His hands, mouth and nose kept exhaling hot air.
On the road, Zhao Ziliang and others were walking leisurely on horseback.
Zhao Ziliang has been thinking about the encounter with Yundingtian's group of horse bandits two days ago.
Next to him, Cen Jian saw that Zhao Zi had an absent conscience and must be thinking about something, so he asked: "General, there is something on his mind."
Zhao Ziliang came back to his senses when he heard the voice and saw that it was Cen Shen who was asking, so he said: "I am thinking that Yundingtian's group of horse bandits have been active in the desert to the east.
If they want to enter the hinterland of Shule Kingdom, they must There are nearly 400 of them to go through many checkpoints.
With such a big goal, how do they pass the various checkpoints?"
Cen Shen didn't say anything.
He was not from Shule's army, nor was he an official here.
He was just a scribe who traveled around the country, and it was inconvenient to be involved in this incident.
Next to him, Huo Kan asked: "General, what you mean is that Yundingtian and others have a smooth journey along the way.
Some important people have greeted the checkpoints along the way."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Other than that, I can't think of any way for Yunding Tian to lead so many people into the hinterland of Shule."
Wei Meng said: "General, if you want to find out about this matter, you only need to bring Yundingtian, the leader of the horse bandits, and torture him severely."
After the horse bandits were defeated that day, Yun Dingtian was swept to the ground by Zhao Ziliang with a horse shovel.
His back was severely injured and he fainted.
When he woke up, he had been captured, and he was captured with him.
Nearly two hundred people, Zhao Ziliang and others are now escorting these horse bandits to Dialong City.
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to worry about this matter.
I will investigate this matter after I arrive in Dial City and settle down.
How far is it from Dial City?"
Wang Can said: "There are still about ten miles, and we can arrive before dark."
Zhao Ziliang looked up at the sky and said, "It will get dark soon.
Send an order to speed up."
"promise" Pan Leng Leng saw that the sky had darkened, and was about to lead the officials back when a fast horse galloped over.
"City Lord, General Zhao's troops have arrived four miles ahead.
They are about to arrive.
General Zhao has brought more than a hundred followers, and there are also more than two hundred prisoners."
When the officials heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
What was going on with more than 200 prisoners?
Pan Lengleng was also stunned, and immediately asked: "How come there are prisoners?
General Zhao is not here to take office?
Why did he bring prisoners here?"
"The city lord, General Zhao and others encountered an ambush of nearly 500 horse bandits on their way to the city.
However, they did not expect the horse bandits to be discovered by General Zhao when they ambush.
The two sides fought a great battle, and the horse bandits were defeated and defeated.
More than 200 people were beheaded and killed, more than 200 people were captured, and dozens of others escaped."
All the officials gasped.
There were only more than a hundred people, but they were ambushed.
Not only did they see through the ambush, they also defeated the horse bandits that were several times their number, almost annihilating them all.
What kind of person is this Zhao Ziliang?
ability Pan Leng responded and immediately said to the official beside him: "Wu Changshi, how are you preparing for the banquet?"
"It's ready.

We've set up a few tables in Zuixian Tower," Wu Changshi said.
Pan said coldly: "General Zhao has brought so many retinues.
We have to arrange meals and accommodation for these people.
We can't neglect them.
There are also more than two hundred horse bandits.
Hurry up and have the prison cells moved."
Sort it out and free up some prisons.
After all, horse bandits are different from real prisoners and should be kept in prisons to wait for the government to deal with them."
"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this.
I'll go immediately."
Wu Changshi said and turned around and left quickly.
Not long after, Zhao Ziliang and others finally appeared.
There were many people in the team, and there were prisoners, so the marching speed could not be fast.
Zhao Ziliang and others walked to the city gate and dismounted.
Pan stepped forward with a cold laugh and said: "Hahaha, look forward to the stars, look forward to the moon, finally General Zhao is here."
Zhao Ziliang had met the eldest prince of Shule Kingdom and Panzhu Junxiu's brother once before in the palace in Pancheng, so he naturally knew him.
However, this was a formal occasion, and Zhao Ziliang could only address him by his official position: " Ziliang pays homage to the city lord" Pan Lengleng stepped forward to help Zhao Ziliang up and said with a smile: "No need to worry, General Zhao has been tired all the way.
Let's go to the city first.
I have already prepared a banquet for the general and his subordinates, please."
Pan Lengleng was so enthusiastic that Zhao Ziliang couldn't refuse, and said: "In that case, Zhao will thank the city lord on their behalf.
There are still more than 200 horse bandit prisoners here, and they will be handed over to the custody of the city lord's palace, but there is one thing that will end We haven’t investigated clearly yet.
I hope the city lord can ask the city lord to send someone to keep a close watch on this matter.”
"Don't worry, General Zhao.
Someone will take all these prisoners away and put them in cells."
Pan gave an order coldly, and more than two hundred people from the nearby city guard took over the task of escorting the prisoners, and took all the prisoners away, but Yun However, Dingtian was still under the control of Wang Can and others and did not hand it over
