Three days later, Zhao Ziliang led his army and his men to return to Henglus City with Princess Ashina of Jiaohe.
The city was completely lifeless, with not a single living creature in sight.
This was the result of not sealing the sword for three days.
Ashina, who was sitting in the carriage, looked dumb and dumb when he saw this scene in the city.
He was completely stunned.
"Beast, beast!"
I don't know how long it took for Ashina to wake up.
She was crying and cursing.
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and said calmly: "Back then, Sulu Khan led his troops to invade the four towns of Anxi many times.
There was no massacre of the city.
Do we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, deserve to die, but you Tuqi Shiren don't deserve to die.
Who is more beastly?
I think No one can compare to Sulu and your Tuqishi Shiren.
When Sulu massacred the people in the four towns of Anxi, he should have expected that his people would suffer the same treatment in the future."
At this point, Zhao Ziliang changed his tone and sneered: "As a Ketun from Sulu, don't you feel ashamed to say such things now?
You are really thick-skinned.
We Han people have a saying called murderer.
Heng Shazhi, since you can kill others, others can of course kill you.
It is no wonder that others are in this situation today.
It is you who rush to do things to others and reap the consequences." "" Ashina was speechless and could only lower her head in silence.
The team left the east gate in silence and soon arrived at the Tang Army camp. .
On the left side of the camp is the prisoner camp.
Zhao Ziliang observed while walking and estimated that based on the size of this camp, there were at least 20,000 prisoners detained, and the majority of them were women, and some were very young and had no memory.
Children, the nomadic people's standard for treating captives is to keep captives no taller than a wheel, except for women.
As soon as he reached the gate of the camp, he met Gao Xianzhi.
At this time, Gao Xianzhi was patrolling the camp with some soldiers.
The two sides greeted each other as soon as they met.
"Hey, General Zhao, you are back."
Gao Xianzhi came over with someone and said with a smile.
Zhao Ziliang reined in his horse and stopped, only to see Gao Xianzhi followed by dozens of subordinates, all of whom were wearing expensive silks and brand-new armors.
Even their cloaks were made of silk and satin, which had never happened before.
Zhao Ziliang didn't pay attention and nodded: "Yes, General Gao is patrolling, but General Fumeng is here?"
"In the big tent, Gao still has inspection duties, so he can't accompany General Zhao to the big tent."
"General Gao, there's no need to be so polite.
We'll talk about it later."
When they arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Ziliang met Fumeng Lingcha.
Fumeng Lingcha was very happy to see Zhao Ziliang back: "Ziliang is back.
The day before yesterday, you sent someone to report the news of the success.
I already know it, so what do you do?"
Very good hahaha, come on, come on, sit down.”
Zhao Ziliang bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, General" After Zhao Ziliang sat down, Fumeng Lingcha ordered people to bring wine and meat to Zhao Ziliang, and said: "Ziliang, you came back just in time.
Master Gai led the army to capture Broken Leaf City the second day after we left. , after we take the city of Permanros After that, all the towns from Broken Leaf City to Permanent Ross City surrendered one after another in the past three days.
Lord Gai’s messenger also arrived here yesterday evening.
Lord Gai ordered us to lead our troops to return to Broken Leaf City to meet with him.
Convergence".

Zhao Ziliang put down the leg of mutton and asked: "General, what should we do here?
Don't we need to send people to garrison?"
Fumeng Lingcha smiled and said: "Lord Gai has already discussed it with Mo Hechu, King of Shi Kingdom, and Si Jinti, King of Shi Kingdom.
From now on, Henglus City will be under the jurisdiction of Stone Kingdom and become the northernmost military town of Stone Kingdom.
"As for the State of Shi, they did not send many troops, but Master Gai gave them five carts of gold and silver."
Having said this, Fumeng Lingcha turned to King Asilan of the Bukhan Kingdom and said: "King Ashlan, according to the agreement between you and General Zhao, after the city of Hengluos was captured, all the prisoners will be yours.
Now you have fulfilled your promise.
It’s time, from now on, all the prisoners in the nearby prisoner camp will be handed over to you.
How you deal with them is your business, Kang Huaishun, you go and hand over to King Axilan now."
Asilan was very happy.
He stood up and stroked his chest and said, "Thank you so much, General Fumeng.
If so, I will not be polite."
Fumeng Lingcha waved his hand, and after they all walked out, he said to Zhao Ziliang: "Ziliang, have you brought Ashina back?"
"Yes, she has been brought back.
The general wants to see her," Zhao Ziliang stood up and said.
Before Fumeng Lingcha could speak, Liu Tiao said from the side: "General, I think it would be best for the general not to see her."
Fumeng Lingcha looked at Liu Tiao in surprise and asked, "Why?"
Liu Tiao cupped his hands and said: "General, I heard that Ashina is extremely beautiful, but she is as snake-like as a scorpion, scheming, and uses tricks such as seduction.
I am worried that the general will fall into her trap.
In addition, if the general When you meet her, in what capacity do you meet her?
Does the general think of her as the Princess of Jiaohe, the Ketun of Sulu, or the princess of Ashina Huaidao?
This Ashina family is a hot yam."
Everyone knows that the reason why the Tang Dynasty named Ashina the Princess of Jiaohe and then married her to Sulu was purely for political needs.
On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty did not want to make anyone with the Ashina surname a khan with the ten surnames.
But if Suddenly no longer appointing people with the surname Ashina as khans with the ten surnames will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the tribes of the ten surnames of Western Turks.
After all, Ashina People with this surname have always led the Western Turks, and if Sulu is established as the Khan of the Ten Surnames, and Ashina is canonized as Princess Jiaohe, and married to Sulu, it will be easier for the tribes of the Ten Surnames to accept it.
Therefore, this It was just a diplomatic and political method of the Tang Dynasty towards the Western Turks.
In fact, no one in the Tang Dynasty really regarded Ashina as a Tang Dynasty princess.
But despite this, she was also a princess of the Tang Dynasty in name only.
When Tang Dynasty officials met her, they would receive and salute her as a princess.
When Fumeng Lingcha thought about Liu Tiao's words, he imagined that they made sense.
Could it be that she really wanted to treat her as a princess and Fumeng Lingcha was not willing to do so.
In this case, it would be better to simply disappear, so he nodded and said : "The judge's words deeply touched my heart.
If that's the case, please don't see me.
Ziliang, this Ashina family will be handed over to you.
Food and clothing will be indispensable.
When we get to Suiye City, we will hand it over to the Protectorate."
People, let’s just think it’s over.”
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "General Nuo" Fumeng Lingcha asked: "Ziliang still has doubts."
Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "General, I don't know what Mr.
Gai and the court are going to do with Suiye City and how they are going to reward Mohe Dagan."
Fumeng Lingcha shook his head and said: "Master Gai's messenger didn't mention this, so he must have not decided yet, but I thought that Master Gai and the court would probably hand over Broken Leaf City to Mohedagan.
After all, he Before the war, I strongly opposed the Fire-Tumbling Immortal being called Khan with the Ten Surnames.
In order to appease him, it is very likely that the imperial court gave Suiye City to his rule."
Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Is it possible for the imperial court to canonize Mohe Dagan as the new Khan of the Ten Surnames?"

Fumeng Lingcha thought for a while and nodded: "It is very possible that no one in Tuqishi has a higher prestige than Mohedagan."
Judge Liu Tiao suddenly stood up and said: "General, why did Mohe Dagan ask for help from our court to attack the Fire Spitting Immortal Gai?
Because he sent troops to kill Sulu Khan.
At that time, Sulu Khan had been paralyzed by a stroke and could not govern.
Mo He Dagan only committed the unethical act of killing his master when he saw an opportunity.
It can be seen from this that this man is born to be rebellious and is definitely not a loyal person.
If the court canonizes him as a Khan with the ten surnames, it will be like raising another hungry wolf.
When this evil wolf gets stronger, it will definitely bite us in the Tang Dynasty.
One mouthful, we must never do anything like Dongguo again."
The so-called Dongguo incident is a fable about Mr.
Dongguo saving a wolf.
How could everyone not understand that it's just that they are not the ones who can make the decision on this matter.
Zhao Ziliang stood up again and said: "General, it is not for us to decide whether to confer Mohe Dagan as the Khan of the Ten Surnames.
The key is the ownership of Suiye City.
If Suiye City continues to be under the control of Tuqishi, then we The Tang Dynasty's restraint on tuqi was extremely limited.
Mohe Dagan could turn his back at any time, but if our country sent troops to station in If Suiye City, or even directly governs Suiye City, returns to the situation before the first year of Kaiyuan, then our government's binding force on Tuqi will be greatly strengthened.
Even if Mohe Dagan is a Khan with the ten surnames, he will not dare to If we openly violate the will of the Tang Dynasty at will, our influence on the countries in the Western Regions will be fully restored to the situation during the Gaozong period."
The generals are not fools, and they have more or less political and military common sense.
If the Tang army uses Suiye City as a military center, its deterrent effect on the countries in the Western Region will be greatly improved.
Liu Tiao strongly agreed with Zhao Ziliang's words.
He said to his husband Meng Lingcha: "General, what Ziliang said is absolutely true.
We can't decide whose position the Tenth Khan will be, but we should try our best to persuade Mr.
Gai and make suggestions to the court.
Reset Broken Leaf City as a side As an important defense town, even if Suiye City cannot be established as an important border defense military town, a troop of soldiers and horses should be stationed in Suiye Town to deter sudden cavalry.
No matter who is the Khan of the Ten Surnames, as long as Suiye City has a troop As our troops and horses exist, he will not dare to act rashly."
Fumeng Lingcha thought about the words of Zhao Ziliang and Liu Tiao, nodded for a long time, and said: "Yes, when we arrive at Suiye City, I will tell Mr.
Gai about my powerful relationship.
I hope Mr.
Gai can adopt my suggestion."
After coming out of the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Ziliang thought that Henglus City would soon be called the northern military center of the Stone Kingdom.
He thought that the King of the Stone Kingdom, Mo Hechu, had a sharp eye and knew the importance of the strategic location of Henglus City.
After occupying Henglus City, it will be much more difficult for the Tuqi Shi people to go south to plunder again in the future.
As soon as he returned to his tent, he heard a noise outside the tent and a woman's voice.
Zhao Ziliang listened carefully and heard that it was Ashina who was outside the tent.
Zhao Ziliang didn't want to see her at first, but he didn't want her to push past the guards outside the tent and break in regardless of her status.
The guards didn't dare to attack her and couldn't stop her.
Seeing Ashina barging in, Zhao Ziliang didn't want to see you anymore.
Before he could speak, Ashina sneered coldly: "Hey, General, it's so difficult for me to see you now.
What's the matter?
The General took over someone else's body and turned his back on him."
Zhao Ziliang stood up after hearing the words, stared at Ashina, his eyes flashed with coldness, waved to the two followers who were chasing after him, and when they pushed out, he said: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
