On New Year's Eve, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to call Li Siye, Wei Meng, Huo Kan, Lei Wu, and Liang Qi to have a reunion dinner together.
Wang Can, Chu Ge, Zheng San and others didn't need to send someone to call, they came by themselves.
After dinner, Zhao Ziliang mentioned in the chat: "Everyone here has followed me from Shule Town, some have followed me since Tuoyun Castle, and some have followed me since Diazhuan City.
No matter what you think, Others will regard you as my people.
In the future, I will not Here, you people should move around frequently, support and help each other.
If you want to make a full contribution to the Tang Dynasty and make contributions, you must have friends to help you in the officialdom.
Only by helping each other can you make progress together.
You can’t fight alone.”
Everyone was convinced and expressed their agreement that they would move around frequently and help each other.
On New Year's Eve, Zhao Ziliang called Chen Qingying's mother and daughter to ask: "I believe you already know that after the new year, I will go to Beijing with Mr.
Gai to see you, and then I will visit my hometown to visit relatives.
As for whether I can come back, I'm afraid I have to wait for the emperor and the court.
It’s my decision, whether you mother and daughter will continue to follow me, or stay here and settle down here or go to the mainland to settle down.”
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Chen Qingying said quickly: "We, mother and daughter, have no place to go, so we can only rely on the general to give us food.
We want to go with the general, and we hope that the general will not think that we, mother and daughter, are burdens." .
"In that case, you can go along with me.
Starting from the eighth day of the lunar month, you two have started to pack your luggage.
In addition to my books, you only need to bring some changes of clothes."
"Okay, okay we know" After the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ziliang began to prepare for the departure.
In addition to the one hundred and twenty retinues accompanying him, there were also Chen Qingying's mother and daughter, two maids, two grooms, and two accountants.
Because Chu Ge was about to He was going to Kucha Town to serve as the deputy envoy of the Kucha Army, so he had to vacate his position as Zhao Ziliang's steward, and Wang Can temporarily served as Zhao Ziliang's steward.
Liang's housekeeper is responsible for handing over some matters regarding Zhao Ziliang's net worth and property with Chu Ge.
Wang Can will not go with Zhao Ziliang this time.
It will depend on the situation after Zhao Ziliang arrives in the capital.
If Zhao Ziliang cannot come back, then Wang Can will leave Zhao Ziliang in the capital.
After selling all the fields, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses here, he went to Chang'an to join Zhao Ziliang and others.
As for Zheng San, he went with Zhao Ziliang.
After Chu Ge became the deputy envoy of the Kucha Army, he no longer served as the chief of Zhao Ziliang's bodyguard.
The former deputy chief of bodyguard Ba Lahan served as the chief of Zhao Ziliang's bodyguard, and Bai Xiaode served as the deputy chief of bodyguard.
With his superb martial arts, the other retinues They didn't have any objections.
As for the black giant Nuer, he was still Zhao Ziliang's personal guard.
On the early morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ziliang led a total of 136 people including his retinue and subordinates to set off for Qiuci Town.
From the gate of the Dudu Mansion to a few miles outside the east city gate, there were officials from the Dudu Mansion, generals and soldiers, and countless people inside and outside the city.
Thousands of people lined both sides of the city streets to see him off.
As Zhao Ziliang and other people walked towards the city gate, the crowds delivering messages along both sides of the street also moved slowly.
Zhao Ziliang led the horse along the way, constantly waving goodbye to the people on both sides.
An old man was holding a sheep and blocking the way.
Two subordinates were about to step forward to drive him away.
Zhao Ziliang quickly shouted to stop.
He saw the old man holding a sheep and waving to a man next to him and walking over.
He said to Zhao Ziliang: "Thanks to the general who sent troops to annihilate the horse bandits a few months ago, the old man's son was removed from the horse bandits."
The old man and my son were rescued from the bandits' den, and the general's kindness was restored.
The old man and my son had nothing to repay.
I heard that the general was going to Beijing to see the emperor, so the old man brought my son over to see the general off.
There was nothing valuable in the old man's house.

This is The sheep raised by the old man were given to the General to be slaughtered and eaten on the road.
I hope the General will not dislike them."
Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "What are you talking about, old man?
The fact that you brought your son to see me off today is the greatest affirmation of my tenure as an official.
I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept it.
You should take the sheep back and continue to raise them."
Bar" The old man said quickly: "How is this possible?
The general must accept it, otherwise it will be too little for the old man."
As he said that, he forced the rope to tie the sheep into Zhao Ziliang's hand.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He looked at both sides of the street ahead.
There were many people carrying eggs, cakes, sesame seed cakes, and wine jars.
He had no choice but to shake his head at Zheng San and said, "Collect the sheep and give them money.
If other people give you things, accept them all, but you have to give them money."
Zheng San promised: "Promise" When we reached the gate of the city, dozens of baskets were filled with things sent by the people who came to see us off, all loaded on horseback.
Among them, there were more than 300 cattle and sheep sent by the people.
These things and livestock , Zhao Ziliang could only take it with him, and prepare to eat it on the road.
The unfinished meat was made into dried meat and taken on the road to eat.
After being sent two miles outside the city, Zhao Ziliang stopped and said goodbye to Li Siye and other generals and officials from the governor's mansion.
At this time, an official brought a glass of warm wine on a tray.
Lai Yi picked up the wine glass and squatted on the ground to twist it with his fingers. rise Put a little soil into the wine glass, put both hands in a toast and said: "General, please drink this glass to the full.
I wish the general a safe journey.
Don't forget Suiye City when you arrive in Chang'an or return home.
We hope that the general can return as soon as possible to shock the countries in the Western Regions." " No one spoke, only the cold wind blew the flags.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the wine glass with a heavy heart, as if there was a big stone pressing on his chest.
He took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then got on his horse and faced everyone.
He waved his hands and shouted: "Don't send me any more.
Everyone, please go back.
Maybe in a few months, someone will come back.
Come back."
Even though they were still reluctant to give up, Zhao Ziliang and the others finally left Suiye City and headed east.
They arrived at General Pei City within an hour.
Huo Kan, the captain of General Pei City, led his troops to greet him.
Zhao Ziliang just explained some things to Huo Kan.
The matter did not stop at General Pei City, but continued to move southeast.
Along the way, we passed through Yezhi City, Helie City, Dongcheng City, and Dunduo City.
This section of the road was specially built and is very wide and flat.
Even large carriages can pass through it and it is very smooth.
Two days later, Zhao Ziliang and his party arrived at Dunduo City, preparing to cross the Bodal Ridge on the Tianshan Mountains and enter the land of Anxi.
The Bodal Ridge was originally a dangerous place, but after the Tang army took control of Suiye City, the Bodal Ridge became apparent.
Not so important anymore In order to facilitate the passage, Zhao Ziliang also asked the political officials of Dunduo City to organize herdsmen and soldiers to repair the road to make Bodaling less rugged and allow caravans to pass.
He also cooperated with Dashi City. ,Will The road between Bodaling and Dashi City will be repaired.
In this way, the traffic from Qiuci Town to Suiye City can be greatly reduced.
There is no need to detour through Shule Town and take Tuoyunbao to Suiye Town.
You can reach Dial City and then turn to Take Dashi City, pass through Badaling, and go west along Dunduo City to Suiye City.

The move to open up Badaling can be said to have greatly shortened the distance of the Northern Silk Road, allowing business travelers to travel to Suiye City.
Yecheng and Qiuci Town are more convenient.
However, people on foot and on horseback, and even caravans carrying large amounts of goods on horses and camels can pass through the Badaling Ridge, but carriages are still impassable.
This is mainly because the road on the Badaling Ridge is too steep.
At that slope, The carriage is prone to losing control.
When Zhao Ziliang and his party arrived at Dunduo City, they abandoned their carriages and switched to using horses to carry grain, grass, supplies and other luggage.
When they arrived at Diawuan City, Zhao Ziliang and his party were warmly received by Bi Sichen, the guard of Diawuan City.
According to Bi Sichen, he would soon be transferred to Qiuci Town, where Xi Yunqing would take over, and with his husband Meng Ling Cha went to Qiuci Town to serve as the military envoy of the four towns.
Cheng Qianli, who was originally the envoy of Shule Town as his direct subordinate, was promoted to the envoy of Shule Town.
Zhao Ziliang and his party stayed in Diawhuan City for a day and continued heading northeast, finally arriving at Qiuci Town on the 19th day of the first lunar month.
After receiving the news, Gao Xianzhi took several retinues to greet him at the city gate in person.
The two were very happy to meet and greeted each other for a long time.
Although they were more than ten years apart in age, they were like peers.
"I only arrived three days earlier than you.
General Fumeng was very happy when he heard that you were coming.
He asked me to take you to settle down first, and then take you to meet him and Mr.
Gai."
Gao Xianzhi said, pulling Zhao Ziliang there.
Walk within the city.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to ask Bo Lehan to arrange for the followers to camp outside the city to rest, and called the deputy guard chief Bai Xiaode to take several followers and the black giant Nuer to go there.
After entering the city, Zhao Ziliang found that Qiuci Town was very lively and prosperous, at least much more prosperous than Shule Town and Suiye City.
It had a large population of all kinds of people, and there were also a lot of supplies sold on the streets.
Soon, under the guidance of Gao Xianzhi, Zhao Ziliang and others arrived at the Military Envoy's Mansion and met Fu Meng Lingcha, the Deputy Military Envoy who had been working here years ago.
It was only when Gai Jiayun officially resigned and Tian Renwan took over.
After Ren Si Zhen Jiedushi was appointed, Fumeng Lingcha naturally took over as the military envoy.
"The last general has met General Fumeng."
Zhao Ziliang saluted Fumeng Lingcha who was sitting behind the desk.
Fumeng Lingcha was very happy.
He quickly got up from behind the desk and came over to help Zhao Ziliang up.
He said with a smile: "Ziliang, I heard that you are doing well in Suiye City and you are doing well.
Look.
Your idea when you came here was right.
After controlling Suiye City, the tribes of Tuqishi did not dare to move.
I heard that you defeated the Daxi tribe's rebellion and killed them a few years ago.
Their clan leader Murong Changge wiped out all three thousand of his troops.
Now no one should dare to be disobedient.
Lord Gai was very happy after receiving your victory report.
He also told a certain person that he did not expect it next time.
Before you left, you brought him such a big surprise.
If he hadn't asked you to come to Beijing to meet him by name by the emperor, he would have been reluctant to let you leave Suiye City."
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "If it weren't for the keen eyesight and strong support of the general and Mr.
Gai, the idea proposed by the general would not be completed.
It is because of the general and Mr.
Gai at the helm that we can achieve this step.
However, this idea is still It’s not finished yet, we still need more support from the general, Mr.

Gai and Mr.
Tian.”
Fumeng Lingcha immediately patted Zhao Ziliang on the shoulder and said: "You can rest assured that as long as someone is in Anxi for a day, there will be no problem in this matter."
Next, the two sides sat down and continued chatting.
Fumeng Lingcha was responsible for arranging Gai Jiayun's report in Beijing this time.
The five hundred soldiers and horses escorting the prisoners and escorting Gai Jiayun were ready, plus Zhao Ziliang's more than one hundred retinues.
There are more than 600 people in total.
It should be no problem for such a large number of troops to escort dozens of Tuqi Shi royal family and protect Gai Jiayun to Beijing.
As long as they don't encounter large groups of Tibetan cavalry when passing through the Hexi Corridor, it should be no problem
