The generals and colonels had different opinions on whether to evacuate the garrison to preserve their strength and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, or to stay on the spot and wait for reinforcements, with half of them each.
Those who support evacuation to preserve strength believe that sticking to Panhe County is like hitting an egg against a stone, and will lead to a dead end; while those who support sticking and waiting for help believe that abandoning the station and people is against the laws of the court.
Once the higher authorities investigate, Zhao Ziliang will be the first to suffer.
Secondly, they are the generals.
Supporters of the two ideas were at loggerheads, and Zhao Ziliang also had his own thoughts on this.
Under normal circumstances, the priority would be to preserve strength, regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place.
It is the best choice to use guerrilla tactics in this situation, but this has a prerequisite, that is, internal war is suitable for this tactical thinking, and both sides will not carry out large-scale massacres of the people, but wars between countries, and The era of cold weapons and barbaric civilization was obviously not suitable for guerrilla tactics.
The process of implementing guerrilla tactics is to hide the army in the vast sea of people.
If the enemy is ruthless enough and kills all your people, you will not get any support from the people in terms of food and grass or supplementary soldiers.
Without the people to provide cover, your army will It will be exposed to the enemy's sight, and it will be attacked by the enemy crazily.
Without food and grass, the army will be overwhelmed.
Without soldiers to supplement the army, the number of attacks will decrease, and guerrilla tactics will become a joke.
Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, stop arguing."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
Zhao Ziliang knocked on the table and asked: "Where can we retreat to?
Last year, the Dou Army was defeated once and retreated once.
Now the Dou Army has to retreat again and again.
Withdraw again and again.
When retreat becomes a habit, defeat will also become a habit.
People's honor and dignity will be trampled on, and then we will no longer be soldiers but cowards.
Now we will not be able to get replenishment of food, grass, ordnance from the imperial court and the Jiedushi Mansion, and we will not get replenishment of soldiers.
If we retreat again and again, we will continue to retreat.
Defeat, the big fighting army will only become weaker and weaker, and will eventually be spit out The Tibetans are completely wiped out.
Is this what you want to see?
Sometimes it takes some sacrifices and some generous and tragic people to boost the morale of the army.
Let the soldiers and all the people share the same enemy and deal with the barbaric Tibetans.
We as Soldiers, we can die, But we must not let the enemy trample on our land and the dignity of the Tang Dynasty.
If anyone wants to retreat, you can get out now, as far away as possible.
Don’t let someone see you again.
The Great Dou Army does not need you to be so greedy for life and fear of death.
The Tang Dynasty does not need a general like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Gao Xiuyan was the first person to suggest retreating first and then pursuing other strategies.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang's words sounded as if they were specifically directed at him.
He stood up and bowed down with shame on his face and said, "I am guilty, please punish me." , The general is not greedy for life and afraid of death, he just feels that it is not worth it to confront the enemy head-on.
To clarify his ambition, I ask the general to allow the general to lead his troops and horses to fight to the death with the Tubo people."
Zhao Ziliang laughed angrily, "Are you trying to clear your mind?
You are going to die.
It's not just that you are going to die.
You want to drag more than 800 people to die with you.
This is stupid.
Do you understand?
Of course you will ask, Isn't it true that sticking to Panhe County is waiting for death?
Isn't it stupid?
This is different.
Panhe County has city walls and tens of thousands of people in the county.

The officials, wealthy households, and landlords in the county all have food.
As long as they come up with food to help the people, it only takes two days. time, we will We can organize more than 10,000 young men to help defend the city.
In addition, we have 5,000 new soldiers, and we can gather 20,000 troops.
Using the city's defense, it might be possible to fight against the Tubo people.
Of course, some people will say that this is not kidnapping the people. , let them Are we going to die together?
That's not a bad idea, but please think about it, if we evacuate and leave the people here, will the people be safe?
The Tubo people can easily attack the county, and no one in the county will be spared."
When Zhao Ziliang analyzed these powerful relationships one by one, all the generals' minds became clear and they all understood how to choose.
Ma Lin, as the deputy general of the first battalion, stood up and said: "The general's words are incisive, and I am willing to be with the general."
Live and die together, stick to Panhe County" Brother Shuhan stood up and said: "How can we not have my brother Shuhan?"
Zhang Shouyu also stood up and said: "General, the soldiers of the second battalion are willing to live and die with the general."
At this time, Gao Xiuyan showed his determination and said immediately: "The general is guilty and just wants a quick death.
Please let the general guard the enemy and attack the city wall head-on."
Zhao Ziliang was stunned: "When did this general say that you are guilty?
It's just that you have different opinions and opinions.
You think too much about this crime.
This general is not a dictatorial person.
Anyone here has the right to speak.
You can put forward your own views and opinions, but once an order is issued, you must retain it even if you have opinions, and I hope you will remember this that you must carry out the order."
Everyone said in unison: "No" Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Since we have decided to stick to Panhe County, we can only rely on the city wall for defense.
The first priority is to strengthen the wall and clear the country, and move all the people, food, and livestock outside the city into the city, and to the wells."
They put filthy things into the water and prevented the Tibetan people from taking water.
There is no food or drinking water in the county.
This requires some troops to cooperate with the county government.
Regarding this matter, our general will discuss this matter with the county magistrate Du Shanming, and the county government will come forward to solve the problem.
Our Dadou Army will send some troops to help solve the problem as soon as possible. , General Gao, please send some troops from your first battalion to assist, come here."
"General" a retinue came in from outside.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Immediately go find the county magistrate Du Shanming and tell me that I, the general, have important matters to discuss."
"promise" After the servants left, Zhao Ziliang continued: "Secondly, the grain must be centralized and distributed uniformly.
Some wealthy households and landowners may not agree.
After all, they have a large amount of grain and livestock in their hands.
If they are asked to hand over the grain, I am afraid that It's not easy, but this is a time when our lives are at stake, and we must not be merciful , whoever dares not to surrender will be killed without mercy.
Only by blocking the Tubo people can everyone survive.
What is the use of keeping the food?
Let the government do this.
General Zhang Shouyu, send part of your second battalion to supervise and assist. , we cannot allow the government to join forces with them to hide food without our knowledge.”
Zhang Shouyu immediately stood up and agreed with his hands raised: "I obey."
Zhao Ziliang shouted again: "Third Battalion Captain Dong Yanguang" "The end will be here."
A strong man with a black beard stood up.
"Take people to look at the city walls in various parts of the county.
If there is any damage, immediately recruit people to repair it.
The city wall must be repaired before the Tibetan army arrives.
No omissions are allowed, otherwise I, the general, will only rely on you. is for" Dong Yanguang raised his hand and agreed: "I have the order."
"Ge Shuhan, you turn around immediately and continue to detect the movements of the Tibetan army.
If there are any changes, report immediately."

"Nuo" Ge Shuhan agreed and immediately turned around and left.
Zhao Ziliang said again: "Ma Lin, go and mobilize 200 people from the second battalion to form a patrol team to maintain law and order in the city, strictly investigate Tibetan spies, and prevent anyone from colluding with the Tubo people inside and outside.
If you are found, arrest them immediately."
Ma Lin stood up, raised her hands and promised in a loud voice: "I obey" After Zhao Ziliang arranged various tasks, the county magistrate Du Shanming also rushed over.
He had to come.
He was really frightened by Zhao Ziliang last time, so when Zhao Ziliang's retinue asked him to come over to discuss important matters, he He came without a moment's delay.
Du Shanming came over on horseback.
There were still some beads of sweat on his forehead.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang, he saluted.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "There is no need for more courtesy, Magistrate Du.
It is urgent now.
There is no need for so many etiquettes.
I am calling you here today."
I have some very bad news to tell you.
The Tibetan army is coming, with a strength of about 40,000."
"What?"
Du Shanming was so frightened that he took a few steps back and his face turned pale.
Zhao Ziliang said again: "Mr.
Du, you must be prepared to live or die with Panhe County."
This sentence directly crushed Du Shanming's psychological defense and the last bit of scholar's reserve.
He looked at Zhao Ziliang with a look that wanted to grab the last life-saving straw.
He immediately said hysterically to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao, you can't Don't save me.
Although you and I have no affiliation, Panhe County is also the defense area of your Da Dou Army.
You can't leave Panhe County alone.
If Da Dou Army doesn't care, the people of Panhe County will be affected.
They will all be killed by the Tubo people.”
Zhao Ziliang spread his hands: "County Magistrate Du, you also know that although our Da Dou Army has just recruited five thousand troops, they are all new recruits and have not completed their training.
These people are not useful at all, and only those who are really useful are There are only three thousand people, but these three A thousand men is too weak compared to the Tibetan army of 40,000.
If it were 3,000 cavalry, I would still be able to deal with the Tibetans.
However, among the 3,000 of my general, there are less than 600 cavalry.
There is nothing we can do against the 40,000 Tibetan army."
Du Shanming's face turned pale at this time.
He knew very well that he could not escape.
As the county magistrate, he must live and die with Panhe County.
The city is still there and the people are alive, but the city is destroyed and people are dead.
If he escapes, what awaits him is the imperial edict to kill his nine tribes.
"What to do, what to do?
Is it true that Panhe County can only be crushed into powder by the Tubo army?
Is it true that I, Du Shanming, am going to die in Panhe County?"
Du Shanming was so frightened that he lost his mind and kept talking. chanting.
"Ahem, Magistrate Du, you don't have to be like this.
In fact, there is a way and a glimmer of hope," Zhao Ziliang said slowly.
"What is the glimmer of hope, General Zhao?
What should we do to have a glimmer of hope?"
Du Shanming asked immediately as if he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked to Du Shanming and said: "Mr.
Du, I don't want to leave either.
If Magistrate Du is willing to cooperate unconditionally, I will lead the army to stay and resist the Tibetan army together with the people of Panhe County.
Please Please note that you must cooperate unconditionally, otherwise, this general will be powerless."
Du Shanming couldn't care less at this time, so he immediately swore with all his heart: "Okay, no matter how the general wants the subordinate to cooperate, the subordinate will never say a word more.
Only the subordinate can do it, and there will be no words
.
