Outside Panhe County, countless people, men, women, old and young, gathered into several streams of people and moved continuously towards the county.
People brought their families with them, pushing carts, wheelbarrows, or carrying baskets with children and food in them, and driving cattle, sheep and horses.
The farts poured in from outside the four gates of the county.
The sound of adults shouting and scolding, women scolding, children crying, and cattle, sheep and horses making the entire Panhe County so lively.
A large number of people and livestock passed by, leaving behind excrement and urine on the ground.
The stench was filled to the sky for a while.
Zhao Ziliang, who was standing on the South City Gate Tower, held the chopping knife at his waist and watched the people pouring into the city, frowning and thinking After thinking for a while, he said to County Magistrate Du Shanming: "Magistrate Du, now all the people in the county are concentrated in the county.
There are too many people and too many livestock.
If proper arrangements are not made, the stench will definitely fill the sky.
I don’t think so, General?
It is to separate the people and the livestock, and prepare some simple toilets in the people's gathering areas to facilitate the people to go out.
It is forbidden for anyone to defecate anywhere.
There is also the issue of drinking water.
Anyone who drinks water must boil it before drinking. , In addition, the livestock of each household should be managed and fed together, and registered, so that they can be easily searched and identified.
If they are not handled centrally, diseases will easily breed over time."
Du Shanming was startled and said hurriedly: "What the general said is true.
If the general hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten this matter.
If it caused a catastrophe, the consequences would be disastrous.
I will send someone to make arrangements immediately."
Although Du Shanming was a corrupt official, he did have some abilities.
Under his arrangement, government servants quickly rushed to Simen to instruct the people to drive the livestock to the designated place for registration, and the government sent special personnel to guard and control the animals.
After feeding the livestock, the people rushed to the designated place with their families to settle down.
Zhao Ziliang, County Magistrate Du Shanming and some generals inspected the city wall to check the defense and repairs of various sections of the city wall.
After a day of repairs, many damaged walls had been repaired.
According to the estimation of Zhao Ziliang and others, it should be possible The repairs were completed before the Tibetan army arrived.
Zhao Ziliang and his party were inspecting the section of the west city wall.
A government official rushed over and saluted the county magistrate Du Shanming and said: "Sir, general, something has happened.
Many people carrying food are unwilling to hand over the food for centralized distribution.
With our county government, There is a conflict between the police and the police.
The situation is very critical.
If one mistake is made, they will start fighting."
County magistrate Du Shanming became angry when he heard this: "These unscrupulous people are really abominable.
We ask them to hand over the grain and distribute it centrally to save everyone's lives.
Why don't they understand?
Huh, don't teach them a lesson.
They don't know."
Fear" At this point, Du Shanming handed over to Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, I can't accompany you on your inspection.
Let's deal with those unruly people to avoid causing a big mess."
"Wait a minute."
Zhao Ziliang stopped Du Shanming, thought for a while and said, "County Magistrate Du, it's normal for the people not to hand over the food.
After all, they have worked hard to grow the food, and now the food is related to their wealth and life.
The people don't want to hand over the food."
It’s understandable if you’re willing to hand it over.
Yesterday, I asked you to hand over all the food.
Weren't you unwilling at first?

People have selfish motives.
This is normal.
We can't say that they are unruly people.
Let's do this.
I will go with you and see if I can convince you.
The people voluntarily handed over the food."
Seeing that Zhao Ziliang wanted to handle this matter, Du Shanming also wanted to see Zhao Ziliang's ability, so he agreed: "Since the general said so, I will handle this matter together.
General, please" The group of people arrived at the civilian resettlement site, and sure enough, hundreds of civilians looking after the house were arguing with the government officials and police officers.
The two sides were pushing and shoving, and there was a strong tendency for a fight.
However, both sides had restrained themselves.
Zhao Ziliang walked over and pushed through the crowd, walked to the middle of the conflict between the two sides and shouted, "What's going on?
Why are you making a fuss?"
When a government official saw Zhao Ziliang and Du Shanming, he immediately saluted and said, "General, County Magistrate, these unruly people are resisting the government.
They are unwilling to hand over the grain for unified distribution, and they are also working against the government."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "Who is this Diaomin?
These are the people of the Tang Dynasty and Panhe County.
What you eat and drink is digged out of the ground by the people of Panhe County.
Without these, what are you talking about?"
The so-called unruly people here will starve to death, do you understand?"
The yamen servant was speechless: "This".
Zhao Ziliang's words were equivalent to speaking for the people.
After hearing Zhao Zi's words, the people who refused to hand over the food had a good impression of him.
No one had ever thought that they were so important.
People saw that they were so important.
Everyone looked at him kindly and felt that this general should be a good official.
Zhao Ziliang waved to several of his retinues, who brought a table over.
Zhao Ziliang jumped on the table and cupped his hands downwards, saying: "Fellow folks, young and old, there is no way the government wants you to move to the city.
According to us, have to The news arrived that the Tibetan army of 40,000 people was less than two days away from here.
The enemy had cavalry, but the fellow villagers had their families and livestock and food to carry, so they couldn't move fast at all.
To the direction of Wuwei or to If you escape from the north, you will be overtaken by the Tubo cavalry at any time.
The Tubo people are extremely cruel and will not spare even the old, weak, sick and disabled.
If you are overtaken, you will die.
Therefore, the only way now is to gather all the people in the county in the county and rely on the city wall for defense.
Tubo people, everyone Don't worry, father, the enemy is not good at attacking the city.
It is not easy to break through the city walls and gates.
Even if they break through the city gates and walls, if they want to enter the city, they must step over my Zhao Ziliang's body and all of our great Dou Army.
Only the corpse of a soldier will do Fathers, the enemy has an army of 40,000, but our fighting army currently only has 3,000 combatable soldiers, and there are also 5,000 new recruits.
If our 3,000 elite troops cannot stop us, even if we send 5,000 new recruits to the city wall, it will be useless.
Never let the Tubo people enter the city One step, these are not enough, the enemy is ferocious and cunning, and may think of many ways to deal with us, so we must organize all the strong men in the city and use these two days to conduct simple drills.
Once we have a large number of casualties, The situation is so heavy that we need to send the strongest men to the city wall to resist the enemy's attack, to protect the old, the weak, the sick, and our parents, wives, and children.
Zhao's wife is also in the city.
She is already two months pregnant, so Zhao Even if she dies, she can't let her The child in his belly is injured and hurt.
Zhao believes that all the elders have the same idea as Zhao.
You cannot let your wives, children and children be harmed by the Tibetan people.
Therefore, we must work together.

A chopstick is easy to break, but a chopstick is easy to break.
It’s easier to break chopsticks.
What does this mean?
Only when we are twisted into a rope and united can we exert our greatest strength.
Zhao hopes that you can take out all the food and have the government distribute it uniformly so that everyone can All There is food, so that everyone can use their strength.
Elders, please think about it.
If the Tubo people capture the city, will you be able to keep your food and livestock?
How about letting the Tubo people capture the city, kill us, and then take everything away?
of grain and livestock, it is better to hand over all the food and have the government distribute it to everyone, so that we can persist for a longer time.
Everyone can supervise it.
I, Zhao, and other officials, generals and generals, eat the same as you.
What do you eat?
, officials, generals, and soldiers are all the same.
They don’t think they are doing special things or doing small things.
If you find that someone eats more and eats better than you, you can report it to the general at any time.
For those who do special things and do small things, I will Never be lenient In addition, because the Tibetan attack caused great losses to the people, and the people handed over all the food, life will definitely be difficult this year, and the government will definitely make certain compensation."
Having said this, Zhao Ziliang said to County Magistrate Du Shanming: "Magistrate Du, last year and today, the whole of Hexi was invaded by the Tubo people.
We, the people of Panhe County, also suffered heavy losses after experiencing this war.
The imperial court should take action on this."
He said that there will definitely be some relief.
Do you think it will reduce taxes for the common people for one year and reduce some of the burden on the fellow villagers?"
He can be a good person, but Du Shanming certainly doesn't want to be a bad person in the eyes of the people.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang giving him face, he didn't take over and immediately said: "What General Zhao said is true.
Last year and this year, the people suffered.
I will definitely report to the imperial court to reduce the taxes of the common people for one year."
Zhao Ziliang said again: "I am here as a guarantee.
If the government fails to fulfill its promise to reduce or reduce the taxes of the elders, you can go to Zhao, and Zhao will seek justice for you."
The common people saw that Zhao Ziliang and the county magistrate Du Shanming had expressed their opinions one after another, and soon someone said: "General Zhao is a good man, I believe in the general, I am willing to hand over the food."
Another person shouted: "The villain is also willing"
After someone took the lead, the common people who had just been fighting against the yamen and the police expressed their willingness to hand over the food.
Zhao Ziliang immediately organized people to maintain order and let the common people line up to register.
Seeing this situation, County Magistrate Du Shanming and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ziliang remembered something again.
The city fortifications were being prepared and built, but the defense supplies had not yet been collected.
He sent people to knock on the doors of every house in the city, collecting all the kerosene, rolling wood, stones, and swords in the city.
Transport on the city wall.
After two days of this, on the morning of the third day, the Tubo people finally came, with great force.
The soldiers of the Dou Army standing on the city wall saw the smoke and dust covering the sky in the distance.
Even they who had experienced the war couldn't help but Some were flustered and pale.
The disparity in strength was so great that the five thousand new recruits had only been trained for a month.
Many of them were so frightened that they trembled and broke out in cold sweat when they saw the Tibetan formation
