After people took Yundingtian away, Chu Ge came over to remind Zhao Ziliang: "General, you are going to see the city lord."
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Go and get ready and leave immediately."
"promise" At the entrance of the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Pan Lengleng saw Zhao Ziliang coming in casual clothes.
He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, we can talk about the more than 200 prisoners who came here so late.
We can talk about it tomorrow."
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and shook his head and said with a smile: "My eldest brother is busy with business during the day, and my younger brother can't spare any time, so I have to come tonight and disturb my eldest brother."
Pan said coldly: "Don't bother me.
We are about to become a family.
Brother Xian, please leave so politely.
Let's talk inside."
After that, he pulled Zhao Ziliang into the main hall.
After the maid served tea, Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea and said: "Brother, the matter of the more than 200 prisoners has caused trouble to eldest brother.
I have already thought about it.
There are still vacancies in our garrison.
If we take these more than 200 prisoners, The captives from the horse bandits went through rigorous training and drills, and after weeding out the old, weak, sick and disabled, they were incorporated into the army.
Although the number is still a little lower, it is not much different.
The remaining ones will be recruited from the local area, and we should be able to make up the number."
Pan Lenglian frowned after hearing this, "Brother Xian, those horse bandits are all unruly people.
They have done a lot of killing and looting.
They are used to being free.
If they can stand the discipline, they will be organized."
I'm afraid it will bring bad morale in the army."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Brother, there is no need to worry too much.
Since my younger brother has incorporated them into the army, I will naturally have a way to make them obey.
Tomorrow morning, my younger brother will send troops to the prison to escort the people to the military camp.
For these more than two hundred prisoners, A lot of things happened, and I feel really bad about it."
Pan coldly waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we are all one family, don't talk about two families."
This was what Zhao Ziliang was waiting for, and he immediately said: "Since the eldest brother said so, I have one more thing that I would like to ask my eldest brother for help."
Pan Leng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If there is anything you need me to do, my dear brother, feel free to ask.
As long as you do a good job, I won't refuse."
Zhao Ziliang was not polite at the moment, and said straight to the point: "Brother may also know that the Shouchuo Mansion allows each military town and Shouchuo Mansion to raise food and grass on their own.
Since my Shouchuo Mansion was made into a mess by Ma Han, Hao Jialin and others, the treasury It’s already empty.
Although we ransacked their homes and recovered a lot of losses, we didn’t get much food, so I’d like to ask my eldest brother for more help in raising food and grass.”
After hearing this, Pan Lenglen couldn't help but smile bitterly and spread his hands: "Brother Xian, you are making things difficult for me.
If it's other things, I will help you without saying a word.
I'm afraid I can't help you with the food and grass matter."
I'm busy, you guys are guarding the mansion.
The city lord's palace has already allocated part of the required military supplies and grain, and we are powerless to ask for it from our place.
If we buy it from the market, it will not only increase the price of grain, but also the cost will not be a small sum. " Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Brother, don't refuse in a hurry, maybe you can really help with this matter."
"Oh" Pan Leng was surprised, stretched out his hand and said: "Please tell me clearly, dear brother."
Zhao Ziliang said: "As far as I know, there are many local tribal leaders and chiefs who are big landowners.
If others don't have food, they must have food in their hands.
However, if I negotiate with them to buy food, I may be inconvenienced.
So I wonder if I can ask my eldest brother to come forward and summon them to come and meet with me.
As long as my eldest brother invites them, I will do the rest.

No matter whether this thing can be done or not, I will always remember your favor." .
Pan Lenglen said with some helplessness: "It turns out that this is my brother's idea.
To be honest, my younger brother once thought about getting some food from the hands of these leaders and chiefs, but later he gave up the idea.
These people are not It's easy to deal with them.
It's not easy to get food from them.
But since my dear brother has said so, I, the eldest brother, will sacrifice my face to help you find them no matter what.
As for whether you can get food, it depends on you, brother.
The ability is enough."
"Of course, even if you can't get food, I will accept your love."
Pan Leng Leng thought for a moment and said: "In that case, I will invite them all to the City Lord's Mansion in two days, and I will send someone to inform my dear brother at that time."
"Then thank you in advance, little brother.
It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
Two days later, Zhao Ziliang, who was leading troops for training in the military camp, saw people sent by Pan Lengleng.
As expected, Pan Lengleng invited the tribal leaders and chiefs to the city lord's palace, and the people sent were notified to meet with these people.
Zhao Ziliang hurried to the city lord's palace with his helmet on.
The two sides of the main hall were already filled with leaders and chiefs of the local tribes.
Pan Lengleng, who was sitting at the head, immediately stood up from behind the desk and greeted him: "General Zhao" Seeing Pan Lengleng coming forward to greet him in person, other tribal leaders and leaders did not dare to neglect.
They all stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang.
No one had to bow his head when dealing with the conqueror.
The City Lord's Mansion is in charge of political affairs, and the Shouchuo Mansion is in charge of military affairs.
In name, the City Lord's status is higher than that of the Shouchuo Envoy, but in fact, in any border town, the City Lord has to behave with his tail between his legs in front of the Shoujue Envoy or the Guarding Envoy.
After all, one side is a surrender and the other is a conqueror.
This is just like during the Anti-Japanese War, the traitor mayor in the occupied area basically nodded and bowed when he saw the Japanese garrison commander, and did whatever the Japanese asked him to do.
The reason why Pan Lengleng acted like the boss in front of Zhao Ziliang was mainly because he was Pan Zhujunxiu's biological brother, and Zhao Ziliang was his future brother-in-law.
If he had no relationship with Zhao Ziliang, he would never dare to do it.
Zhao Ziliang acted like a big brother in front of him.
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hand and said, "Lord Iwa, please introduce these leaders and leaders to Zhao."
"Okay" Pan agreed coldly and began to introduce Zhao Ziliang.
There are many tribes living in the land of Anxi.
Even the disappeared Loulan people can find some small tribes in the land of Anxi.
In addition to the main locals in the four towns of Anxi, there are other people such as Yuezhi, Chebi, and Uighurs. , Tiele people, Turks, etc.
In addition, Anxi had They were captured by the Tubo people and later recaptured by the Tang army.
However, the Tubo people also left many small tribes in various parts of Anxi.
Even the Geluolu people far north of the Tianshan Mountains also have branches in various parts of Anxi.
The Zhaowu people in Central Asia There are also some sporadic tribes of the Nine Surnames scattered everywhere in Anxi.
After the introduction, Zhao Ziliang unceremoniously took the seat of honor.
This was not the time to be modest and cautious.
If he wanted to show his tough side, he must not let these tribal leaders think that he was weak and could be bullied.
He looked at the tribal leaders on both sides and said: "I asked the city lord to invite you all here today mainly for one thing, which is to provide food and grass.
Next year, we will use troops against Tuqi.
This is no secret.
I believe you all."
We all know that when the army goes on an expedition, it needs to collect some food and grass.
Originally, you have already asked The city lord's palace has handed over the food once, and there is no need to hand it over again.
Of course, when the general invites you here, he does not ask you to hand it over again, but to borrow some food from each of you.

Since it is a loan, it means that what you borrow will be repaid.
When the war is over next year, I will definitely return the money in full, I wonder if you are willing to give Zhao this face."
After Zhao Ziliang said these words, several of these tribal leaders secretly looked at Pan Lengleng's expression, but Pan Lengleng looked at ease while holding a tea cup and drinking tea, as if he didn't care about it at all
