Chapter 112: Darkness Under the Light


"Ouch, can you please be gentle?"

Zhao Ziliang gasped and couldn't help complaining to Panzhu Junxiu.

It was really uncomfortable to be beaten with sixty army sticks.

The average strong man couldn't bear it at all.

Being beaten to death was a common occurrence.

This was because Zhao Ziliang had a precious finger pull to heal his injuries.

After such a long time, he has basically been able to use his consciousness to control the cool air in the finger to heal himself, control the injury within a certain range, and prevent others from becoming suspicious of his body's abnormality.

Panzhu Junxiu had just arrived.

Zhao Ziliang was carried back to Shouzhuo Mansion after being tortured outside the West City Gate in the morning.

She arrived in the afternoon.

Panzhu Junxiu, who was applying medicinal wine to Zhao Ziliang, pouted and couldn't help but patted Zhao Ziliang on the back and complained: "You deserve it.

Who told you to be so stupid and let others beat you?

Why didn't you become crippled?

Humph?"

snort" After being patted, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but gasped: "Hey, you want to beat me to death.

Do you know what military discipline is the most effective way to control the army?

It is also a necessary means.

An army without military discipline has no combat effectiveness at all."

Yes, only iron military discipline can forge an iron army.

Forget it, let’s not talk about this, let me tell you why you are here.”

Panzhu Junxiu rolled her eyes at Zhao Ziliang and said, "Humph, you think I can come here whenever I want?

General Fumeng asked me to come.

After the general received your letter, he ordered me to come immediately and asked me to help you bring those unexpected The knight prisoners are escorted to Shule Town, but you look like you are dying now.

I am afraid that the escort of the prisoners will be postponed for a while.

Otherwise, you can stay here to recuperate, and leave the escort of the prisoners to me.

Bar" "Why can't you escort the prisoners back by yourself?

You are a woman, how can you control those arrogant and powerful generals and the unruly Tuqishi prisoners?"

Zhao Ziliang said, shaking his head like a rattle.

When Panzhu Junxiu saw Zhao Ziliang saying that she was a woman, she obviously looked down upon her.

She couldn't bear it, and immediately glared: "What's wrong with a woman?

This princess is also good at martial arts.

Although I can't beat you, I can get rid of you."

Besides, who is my opponent?

I am not escorting the prisoners alone.

I brought five hundred people here this time."

Zhao Ziliang still objected: "That won't work.

The doctor said that my body is different from ordinary people, and I recover quickly from my injuries.

I can get out of bed in two days.

You wait here for me for two days, and then we will escort the prisoners to Suzhou together."

"Le Town" Panzhu Junxiu didn't believe it: "It's nonsense, can you do it?"

"I said yes, yes.

General Fumeng's order is for you to assist me in escorting the prisoners to Sule Town.

If you escort the prisoners alone, you are disobeying the order.

If something happens along the way, neither of us will be able to escape our involvement, so it's been decided."

Zhao Ziliang said, relaxing his body, changing the subject, and asked casually: "By the way, is there anything new in Shule Town recently?

Is that eunuch Bian Lingcheng still jumping up and down?"

When Panzhu Junxiu saw Zhao Ziliang asking about things in Sule Town, he said: "Nothing big happened.

Ever since General Fumeng eradicated the wings cultivated by Bian Lingcheng, it has been difficult for Bian Lingcheng to do anything.

He has no Capture General Fumeng There was nothing I could do about General Fumeng, so he was honest.

However, during this period, the general personnel of various military towns, checkpoints, and forts in Shule Town had changed a lot.

This was something I brought with me when I left Shule Town.

Di Bao, give it" Zhao Ziliang, who was lying on the couch, took the Di newspaper and started reading it.

The first thing he saw was Cheng Qianli's name appearing on the Di newspaper.

Cheng Qianli was formerly the Ranger General of Suler Town's garrison and a soldier directly under Suler Town.

A general in the horse army, commanding a thousand troops and directly taking orders from Fumeng Lingcha, was now transferred to Congling Guards.

Congling Shouchuo was a garrison set up on Congling by the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Kaiyuan (AD 713).

It was under the jurisdiction of the Sule town garrison and had more than a thousand people, all of whom were elite.

To a certain extent, the Congling Shouchuushi was much more valuable than any of the leading ranger generals in the garrison.

After all, it was an independent garrison, and the Shouchuushi was a general in charge of his own duties.

Among the armies at Xubian, the largest ones were called Jun, the smaller ones were called Shoujue, and the following ones were called cities, towns, forts, Xu, and posts.

While the army is generally directly under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, Shouchuo is the largest military unit among the four towns.

The geographical location of Congling Shouchuo is extremely important.

It was one of the only passes in the Tang Dynasty to prevent the Tubo Kingdom from invading Anxi.

Although the Tubo Kingdom was close to Anxi, the Tubo people wanted to enter Anxi, but they were not So easy, because of the terrain, the land of Anxi and Tubo are separated by several mountain ranges such as the Kunlun Mountains, the Kela Kunlun Mountains, and the Hoh Xil Mountains.

These mountains are high in altitude, covered with snow all year round, and have steep terrain.

Even in the 21st century, they are restricted areas for humans.

It is impossible to cross these mountains to enter Anxi.

In the west, the only way for Tubo people to enter Anxi is The way is to pass through the Big and Small Bolu Kingdom, pass through Tanju Ridge, then cross the Bomi River, and finally capture the Congling Ridge to enter the land of Anxi.

Cheng Qianli was able to take up the post of Congling guard, on the one hand, because he was a close confidant of Fumeng Lingcha, and on the other hand, Fumeng Lingcha had high hopes for him and wanted to rely on him to firmly control the Congling road into Anxi.

The barrier of the land.

Looking further down, Zhao Ziliang saw a few more familiar names.

These people were all close confidants of Fumeng Lingcha.

They had all been transferred to new positions, and they were all in high positions.

Even Xi Yunqing was promoted.

Zhaowu Xiaowei commanded a battalion of soldiers and horses in the garrison.

"Hey, Gao Xianzhi, he has been appointed as the city guard and capture envoy across the state."

Zhao Ziliang was surprised when he saw this name.

The reason why Gao Xianzhi received a lot of attention and research in later history is because he was the only general in the Tang Dynasty who led troops to fight against Western countries, and because he led troops on two expeditions to Xiaobolu and returned with great victories in Jishi Kingdom.

The reasons for this made the Tang Dynasty even more famous in Central Asia.

Although he was defeated in the Battle of Tamros City with the Arab Empire's army, the Tang Dynasty had great influence on Central Asia.

Dozens of countries in the country lost control and his influence was greatly reduced, but this could not cover up his military talents and historical contributions.

Moreover, the defeat in the Battle of Tamros was not a fault of Gao Xianzhi's command, but because of the failure of the coalition members, the Galulu people.

Betrayed, the Tang army was attacked from behind, and the Tang army was defeated from both sides.

Only a few thousand of the 20,000 elite Anxi troops survived.

But from this aspect, it is precisely because Gao Xianzhi trusts the coalition forces too much.

Panzhu Junxiu said while applying the medicine: "Yes, I heard that Gao Xianzhi was from Goguryeo and came from the Dadu Protectorate.

He became a general at the age of only twenty.

It has been more than ten years since his military rank.

He hasn't done anything yet.

This time, General Fumeng discovered that he was very capable in running the army, so he promoted him from the deputy governor of Bizhou to the position of guard and commander.

"Why, do you know him?"

Zhao Ziliang shook his head: "I don't know him, I just heard about it."

In the army of the Tang Dynasty, there were not only many foreign generals, but also many foreign soldiers.

Especially among the frontier armies, almost more than half of the soldiers were soldiers of ethnic minorities, and there were also many generals from ethnic minorities.

For example, the more famous ones in this era were There are Fumeng Lingcha, Ge Shuhan, Gu Pu Huaien, Li Guangbi, An Lushan and so on.

Among them, Fumeng Lingcha is a Qiang, Geshuhan is a member of the Geshu tribe, Gupu Huai'en is a Tiele person, Li Guangbi is a Khitan, and An Lushan's father is a Kangguo native of Zhaowu's ninth surname.

His surname is Kang, and he later married He became his sworn brother An Sishun and others and changed his surname to An.

Four days later, Zhao Ziliang controlled his fingers to treat his injuries.

The injuries improved significantly and he was able to move freely.

So he summoned the generals of the Shouchu Mansion to give an explanation, and he prepared to accompany Panzhu with his 120 followers.

Together with Juan Xiu, he escorted the prisoners of Tuqishi to Shule Town.

In a room in an ordinary courtyard in the city, a gloomy old man was sitting at the table drinking wine.

There were several plates of steaming side dishes on the table.

There were also a few people standing in the room with knives on their waists.

Strong men, judging from their appearance, these people are all Tuqi Shiren, and this old man is clearly Dumodu, whom Shou Zhuofu and Zhao Ziliang ordered to hunt down.

Unexpectedly, Dumodu, who was wanted by the entire Shule Town, not only did not escape, but hid in Diazhuai City.

This truly proves the saying that sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest place.

At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and the sound was very rapid.

Du Modu and the four strong men in the room all changed their expressions and became extremely vigilant.

The strong men involuntarily held their hands on the handles of their swords, ready to draw their swords at any time.

Dumodu winked at one of the strong men.

The strong man nodded, opened the door and walked out.

After a while, he brought in a thin little man who looked extremely smart.

When the little man saw Dumodu, he immediately put on a flattering look and said, "Sir, I have important news to report."

Dumodu squeezed out a smile on his gloomy face, poured a glass of wine and handed it over, smiling: "Oh, come on, have a glass of wine to warm yourself up, don't worry."

The little man took the wine glass with a flattered look and drank it down.

He put down the wine glass and said, "Sir, I have heard some news.

The capture envoy Zhao Ziliang will escort our prisoners to Shule Town tomorrow."

When Dumodu heard the news, he was happy and said quickly: "Oh, how many people are escorting them?"

"A few days ago, a female general from Shule Town brought 500 people.

If Zhao Ziliang wanted to go, he would not bring the Diawhuan City garrison.

At most, he would only bring more than 100 of his retinues, so they At most, more than 600 people were escorted.”

"Six hundred people," Dumodu said, and there were a few more wrinkles on his forehead.

After thinking for a while, he waved to the little man: "Okay, I understand, come on, reward me."

The little man happily took the two strings of copper coins handed over by the strong man next to him, knelt on the ground and thanked them repeatedly.

"If you have any news, come and report it immediately.

I will reward you greatly, sir.

Do you understand?"

"Understand, understand":
