After Zhao Ziliang ate food and drank mutton soup, he sat on a horse in a simple tent and meditated with his eyes closed.
He was in a trance and didn't know how long it had passed before he heard someone hurriedly walk into the tent and said: " General, general" Zhao Ziliang opened his eyes and saw that the speaker was Chu Ge, and asked, "Is there any news from the detective?"
"General, my subordinates were just about to talk about this matter.
Wang Can sent someone to report that they encountered a group of rangers at the foot of the mountain to the east of Linngling, thirty miles away.
The two sides came into contact and fought.
There were casualties on each other.
The other side may After a long march, the men and horses were exhausted, and all ten ranger scouts were killed by our army at night.
We also lost two people and injured one person.
Now Wang Can has personally led people to continue the search and exploration."
Zhao Ziliang looked serious, stood up and asked: "What time is it now?"
Chu Ge said: "It's already time to apply."
Zhao Ziliang stood up after hearing this and said: "It seems that Murong Changge has arrived.
I didn't expect him to come so fast.
It's no wonder that all ten rangers were killed by our side, and we only lost two people and injured one person.
They must be It was after a long march and no rest for a long time.
It was going to be dark soon.
As expected by the general, Murong Changge planned to hurry up.
Time is on the road.
After arriving here, he will camp and rest, letting his army rest until midnight, and then break camp and set off for Broken Leaf City.
In this way, they can cross the Broken Leaf River and arrive before dawn tomorrow while maintaining sufficient physical strength.
Under Suiye City, that time of year is when people are sleeping the deepest, so sneak attacks are most effective."
Chu Ge was taken aback and immediately said: "General, in that case, why don't we set up an ambush on the edge of the mountain forest here and wait for Murong Changge to lead his army into a trap.
When he enters our ambush position, we will rush out and kill him immediately."
Leave no trace behind" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "If it were normal times, it would be feasible to set up an ambush here.
Murong Changge would most likely fall into the trap, but it doesn't work now.
You see the traces left by our army everywhere on the ground.
These The traces cannot be cleaned up in a short period of time, nor can they be restored to their original appearance without the presence of men and horses.
As long as Murong Changge is not a fool, he will definitely find out when he leads his army over, and an ambush will be possible.
We have failed.
Instead of doing this, we might as well fight openly and openly.
Now that they have been exhausted after a long march, they are exhausted.
Send the general's military order, and the whole army must be mounted and march slowly toward the northeast along the east side of the foot of Linngling Mountain. , we have to go up to him without alerting Murong Changge in advance and without giving his army time to rest.
Once we encounter Murong Changge's army, we will immediately launch an attack."
"I promise, my subordinates will go and deliver the order right away."
Chu Ge agreed and retreated.
Soon, there was movement from the Tang army outside the tent, but each soldier quickly and lightly pulled the war horses out of the forest, extinguished the fire, counted the equipment, climbed on the horses, and then gathered in battalion units to form a square formation.
Array.
After Zhao Ziliang walked out of the tent, two subordinates began to dismantle the tent, and several other subordinates began to pack up the tent quilt.
His war horse Wuli was also brought over, and two subordinate soldiers carried his weapon Golden Nail Zaoyang.
He walked to the war horse Pang Ban , Zhao Ziliang got on the war horse, picked up the golden nail Zaoyang Hua from the shoulders of the two retinues, clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse Wuli trotted towards the front of the entire team.
Several generals and generals under the tent had already formed their formation.
A hundred followers followed closely behind him.
Zhao Ziliang already had several generals under his command, but this time he did not lead many troops, only 2,000.
Therefore, he could only use the captain to lead each battalion, while the generals listened under the tent and waited for several battalions to be needed at the same time.
During the battle, a general would be assigned to lead the army, and even Li Fei Yuanli had to temporarily surrender his military power.

In fact, Zhao Ziliang didn't like Li Fei Yuanli.
Li Fei Yuanli was a leader of the Qiang tribe in Tuyuhun.
He had been General Pi since he joined the Tang army.
He was ridiculously taller than the others.
This man was only somewhat brave, but I don’t understand the way of being a general at all, there are rumors It is said that this man is greedy and cruel.
He often embezzles soldiers' pay, often curses and beats soldiers.
Many of the thousand elite cavalry he brought from the Kucha Army hate him, but in view of this man's identity and Force, the generals who hated him dared not speak out in anger.
After Zhao Ziliang heard about this man's behavior, he originally wanted to investigate his corruption of the soldiers' pay, but then he thought that this man was sent by Gai Jiayun and might have been promoted and supported by Gai Jiayun.
If he were to be touched now , it might be unwise to turn against him, so Zhao Ziliang decided not to leave him alone for the time being, and sent two thousand new soldiers to him.
Li Fei Yuan Li brought a thousand field cavalry to mix with them, and gradually replaced some of the captains and team captains who were closer to Li Fei Yuan Li, and gradually emptied them out.
After these few months of operations, we finally had As a result, Li Fei Yuanli had been sidelined.
Except for the dozens of retinues he brought with him, he could not command a single soldier at all.
Zhao Ziliang rode his horse to the front of the army, raised his left hand and waved forward.
The order soldiers behind him immediately raised their flags and waved them.
When the captains of the battalions behind saw it, they immediately conveyed the order orally, and the entire team began to slowly move forward.
Move forward.
After walking for about ten miles, they saw Ye Buzuan running quickly from the front.
They stopped in front of Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang stopped the reins and stopped the horse, raised his right hand, and the army suddenly stopped advancing.
"General Qi, according to the investigation, the army coming ahead is Murong Changge's men and horses.
There are three thousand horses in total.
They are less than thirty miles away from here and they are still marching here."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Continue to investigate and report at any time."
"promise" After not taking it away that night, Zhao Ziliang was about to order the army to move forward.
At this time, a war horse behind him was frightened and suddenly began to go crazy.
It overturned the knight on its back to the ground and ran rampant among the retinue of cavalry.
The cavalry retinue was in chaos for a while.
Zhao Ziliang turned around and saw that he couldn't help but feel anxious.
If he couldn't control the frightened horse, he might mess up the entire army.
At this time, suddenly a cavalryman flew up from his horse, jumped on the frightened horse, then sat down at a very fast speed, grabbed the reins, and lifted it up hard, and the frightened horse raised its front hooves.
Get up, the whole horse stands upright, and then falls over On the ground, the knight reacted very quickly, and immediately reached out to hug and pull the horse's belly, making it fall on the ground.
Its limbs had no place to rely on, and it could only kick around in the air, but could not get up.
The horse quickly calmed down as he kept stroking its head.
After a while, the war horse calmed down, and the knight stood up and took the reins to let it get up.
Such an episode that might have caused chaos to the entire army calmed down.
Zhao Ziliang saw the whole process.
He was relatively far away.
He originally wanted to subdue the horse, but he stopped the idea when he saw someone taking action first.
When the matter calmed down, he immediately said in distress: "Send the order to the whole army to continue moving forward.
Go elsewhere."
Let the warrior who just subdued the frightened horse come over."
"promise"
The army quickly continued to move forward.
Chu Ge quickly brought the knight who had uniformed the frightened horse and introduced him: "General, that's him.
His name is Bai Xiaode."

Bai Xiaode wears a standard armor.
The protective gear is no different from that of other subordinates, except that he wears a small gold ring on the left wing of his nose and a large gold ring hanging on the left and right earlobes.
Only people from ethnic minorities wear this kind of clothing. .
Moreover, this person is tall and tall, with a big face and a broad forehead.
You can tell at a glance that this person is powerful.
The series of movements he just made to restrain the frightened horse also showed that he is strong and agile in his reactions.
Different from other retinues, Bai Xiaode had his own unique weapon.
Two short spears were inserted diagonally across his back, and the double blades and tips of the spearheads shone with cold light.
After Chu Ge finished the introduction, Bai Xiaode immediately bowed his hands to Zhao Ziliang and saluted: "The villain Bai Xiaode pays homage to the general."
When Zhao Ziliang saw Bai Xiaode's appearance, he thought that the history books of the previous life recorded that there was a general named Bai Xiaode in the Tang Dynasty.
He was a descendant of the Qiuci royal family and was brave and good at fighting.
Later, during the Anshi Rebellion, this man served as a general under Li Guangbi and often killed the rebels.
I was frightened after hearing the news, and I didn’t know if it was this person.
So Zhao Ziliang asked: "How old are you this year?
Looking at your outfit, which ethnic group are you?"
Bai Xiaode respectfully replied: "General, I am twenty years old this year and a descendant of the Kucha royal family."
Sure enough, it was consistent with historical records.
Zhao Ziliang said again: "It turns out that you are a descendant of the Qiuci royal family, so why did you join the Tang Army?"
Bai Xiaode said: "When I was still young, the Tang Army's military camp in Qiuci Town was not far from my home.
I often climbed up the wall of the military camp to watch the soldiers drill, and I yearned for it.
Later, I suffered a lot.
He practiced martial arts, and when he was older, he joined the Fan Army in Kucha Town.
Because of his bravery, he was selected by the Tang Army Colonel to join the Kucha Army."
There is no doubt that this Bai Xiaode is the other Bai Xiaode.
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "General, I see that you are brave and powerful.
Do you want to be a general?"
"Uh."
Bai Xiaode felt a little embarrassed when Zhao Ziliang asked him this question.
He touched his head, looked coy, and finally said: "I think."
"Very good.
A soldier who wants to be a general is a good soldier.
You have the potential to be a general.
From today on, you will be a personal guard beside me and learn the skills of marching and fighting from me.
You will stay there for two or three years. , if you achieve some military exploits, I will let you lead the troops, are you willing?"
Although a large part of the cause of the Anshi Rebellion was that the Tang Dynasty had too few restrictions on the generals and vassal towns, many generals in the Tang Dynasty were very loyal.
Only a few rebelled with An Lushan and Shi Siming.
Of course, Zhao Ziliang would not do it because Bai Xiaode was People from ethnic minorities are on guard against suppression.
Even Han generals, not necessarily all of them are very loyal.
When Bai Xiaode heard what Zhao Ziliang said, how could he not be willing to do so?
He was overjoyed and immediately saluted and said: "Thank you so much, general.
I will swear allegiance to the general to the death."
