On this day, Zhao Ziliang was training his soldiers in the military camp.
Zheng San came over and said, "General, I have something to report at the end."
The two came to one side and Zhao Ziliang asked: "Seeing that you are so anxious, what's the matter?"
Zheng San said: "General, there is not much in the treasury of Shouchuo Mansion.
After you took office, you ordered the soldiers to increase the daily food from two to three meals, and the portion of each meal will increase.
If you continue to consume according to this , the food and grass in the treasury can last three months, plus the city lord The government will allocate part of it and buy part of it from the market at a high price.
It can last until next summer's harvest, but the food and grass that need to be raised for the expedition are not available.
You also know that now all the major military towns in Anxi are raising food and grass.
We want to collect food and grass from other sources.
Towns and cities can’t do anything about it.”
Fumeng Lingjin had already promised Zhao Ziliang that if the garrison in Diazhuan City could get back on its feet before going out to Tuqishi next year, he would allow Zhao Ziliang to lead a thousand troops to accompany the army.
The food and grass for these thousand people was a big problem.
From the land of Anxi The distance to Tuqishi is not too far, but it is not close either.
There is no certainty as to when the war will start.
No one knows, so you can only bring more food and grass.
This is a big deal.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Zheng Sandu: "I have thought of a way, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Raising food and fodder for a thousand troops is a top priority.
If there is anything you can't say, please tell me."
"That's okay."
Zheng San agreed, organized his language, and said, "That's what I think.
The price of food on the market is already very high.
If we buy it from the market, the price we pay will definitely be much higher, and it's not necessarily It is possible to purchase enough grain and grass, but there is no grain and grass to purchase elsewhere.
However, just because there is no grain and grass in other places, it does not mean that There is no food in the hands of the local tribal leaders.
These tribal leaders are all large local farmers.
They must have a lot of food in their hands, but it is not that easy to buy food from them.
If they are forced to sell it, it will easily attract them.
They are all dissatisfied, causing disharmony between the garrison and the local tribes, which will give some people an excuse to impeach the general."
Zhao Ziliang didn't expect that Zheng San had made such great progress during this period.
He actually knew the words impeachment and excuse, and also learned a lot about these activities in the officialdom.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "San'er, you can do it, you can even think of this."
Yes, not bad, not bad” Zheng San touched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "I didn't learn this from the general."
"Well, what you said is not impossible.
It seems that I have to pay a visit to Pan Lengleng.
You can come with me then."
"promise" Pan Lengleng is not only the lord of Diaochuan City, but also the governor of Gumo Prefecture.
All the local ethnic minorities are under his jurisdiction.
Therefore, if you want to get food from the leaders of the local ethnic minorities, you must go through Pan Lengleng.
It would be better to build a bridge coldly.
Besides, as the top general of the garrison, it was not appropriate for him to have private contact with the local indigenous leaders.
As soon as he mentioned Pan Lengleng, Pan Lengleng sent someone over.
Chu Ge, the captain of the guard, came over and reported: "General, Lord Pan, the city lord, sent someone over to ask for an audience.
He is outside the camp gate."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang turned around and said, "Go and bring him in."

"promise" Soon, Chu Ge came over with an official in official uniform, "General, we are here."
The official was in his thirties and looked like he was from Shule.
He stepped forward and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Shi Hegu Aduo, the chief of the palace of Xiaguan City, pays homage to the general."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at this person, and asked: "What does Master Hegu want from this general?"
Heguado saluted again: "General, the number of horse bandit prisoners captured by the general's men a few days ago is too large.
It is not a big problem to temporarily lock them in the city's prisons, but as time goes by, the prisons will not be able to bear it.
Not only are there not enough cells use, and the daily consumption of more than two hundred people The consumption was so great that the prison was almost overwhelmed by them.
The warden had repeatedly begged the city lord to transfer the horse bandit prisoners out of the prison.
The city lord had no choice but to send his subordinates to discuss this matter with the general.
Let’s discuss it and see how to deal with it.”
Hearing Heguado mention the horse bandit prisoners, Zhao Ziliang remembered that he had forgotten the more than 200 horse bandit prisoners.
Didn't he just want to recruit soldiers?
It was just right to eliminate the old and weak horse bandit prisoners and keep them.
Young and strong, after a period of rigorous training, they were incorporated into the army.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ziliang said to Heguado: "You go back first.
I will visit the city lord later today and discuss with the city lord a detailed solution on this matter."
"In that case, I will take my leave," Heguado said and left.
While talking just now, all the schoolmates gathered around.
While everyone was there, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Aren't we worried about recruiting insufficient soldiers?
There happened to be more than two hundred horse bandits in the prison.
Since the city lord's palace suspected that Trouble, then we will absolve them of their sins and recruit them into the army, what do you think?"
Li Siye frowned and said: "General, those are horse bandits after all.
They are all unruly.
Recruiting them into the army will not bring bad military atmosphere."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, the army is a big melting pot.
As long as you follow the training plan formulated by this general, even the most unruly people will be worn away.
Of course, we don't want everyone.
Eliminate all the old, weak, sick and disabled among the horse bandits and let them open up wasteland for farming, leaving the able-bodied ones to undergo training before being incorporated into the army."
Li Siye nodded and said: "This is the best."
Wang Can said again: "General, what should we do with the leader of the horse bandits, Yunding Tian?"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and waved his hand: "Chu Ge, during dinner time, you take Yunding Tian out of the prison and take him to Shou Zhuo Mansion to see me."
"promise" After nightfall, just after dinner, Chu Ge brought Yundingtian, who was shackled all over, to Shouzhuo Mansion.
Zhao Ziliang met him in the main hall.
"Yundingtian, are you still used to living in prison these days?"
Zhao Ziliang asked, looking at Yundingtian standing in the middle of the lobby.
Yun Dingtian looked indifferent, "General, Yun knows that he will die if he falls into the hands of the general.
Why should the general humiliate Yun?
The general might as well give Yun a clean and tidy death."
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Yun Dingtian, it stands to reason that you led people in an ambush with the intention of killing this general.
It is not an exaggeration that this general will cut you into pieces.
However, you are just a knife in the hands of others, not the real mastermind." , even if Zhao kills you It doesn't help.
Now your minions are running away and dying, and the rest are in prison.
Your power has also been completely destroyed.
You are no longer a threat to this general.
In fact, this general is no longer a threat to you.

There is no deep hatred, just It was a festival at the North Warehouse in Shule Town that day, and it was not yet a life-and-death fight.
Moreover, you were a bandit and I was an official at the time.
It was only natural that I arrest you.
There is no personal hatred between the two of us.
You The storm thief is not that big You have done evil deeds, and you can lead the Storm Bandits deep into the heart of Tubo to deal with the Tubo people.
This general still appreciates this.
Let's go.
I have decided to let you go.
You can go wherever you want.
Someone, come and relieve him.
The shackles on the body" "Nuo" A subordinate came up and opened the shackles on Yundingtian.
Yundingtian moved his hands and feet and was stunned for a while, "If you don't kill me, why don't you let me go?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "There is nothing wrong with your ears."
Yundingtian was a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"Why?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled, "Killing you will do no good to me.
If it doesn't do any good, why would it cost a human life?"
Yundingtian hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around to leave, but then thought of his minions, stopped and turned back, "General, what about Yun's minions?"
"Hahaha" Zhao Ziliang laughed, "Yundingtian, Yundingtian, you still want me to let the general release all those minions, and then you can take them back to become horse bandits and re-establish the storm bandits.
This is impossible.
Yes, it is impossible for me, the general, to let them go.
Currently, the number of garrison troops in Dialhuan City is not yet full.
The two hundred or so men under your command can just fill the gap.
You can leave."
Yundingtian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yun has been homeless for a long time, and now he has become a bachelor again.
Where else can he go?
General, it is better to kill Yun."
"Where you want to go, that's your business.
Just go.
I have official business to attend to, and I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."
Yunding Tian left, but he came back not long after, prostrate himself in front of Zhao Ziliang and said: "Since the general wants to recruit brave soldiers, if the general does not mind that Yun is a horse bandit, Yun is willing to let the general drive him."
Zhao Ziliang was surprised for a while, then shook his head and said: "If you want to join our army, you must know that our army has strict military discipline, and it is not something that ordinary people can stay in.
If you violate military regulations and military laws, you will be served with a military stick at the least, and your head will be on the ground at the worst.
You You can think clearly.”
"General, I used to be in the army, but later I left the army for various reasons.
I still know the importance of military discipline to the army.
Please rest assured, General.
If I violate the general's military regulations and military laws, I will let the general handle it." , I have no complaints, and I am willing to start as an ordinary soldier."
Zhao Ziliang snorted: "If you don't start as a small soldier, do you still want to be a general as soon as you enter?
Send him to Wang Can and let him go that night without accepting it?"
"promise":
