Late at night, Zhao Ziliang had already fallen asleep.
He had not slept much at all in the past few days.
He really couldn't hold on any longer.
Moreover, after tonight's ambush caused heavy losses to the Tubo army, it was impossible for the Tubo army to launch a night attack, so Zhao Ziliang had a good sleep with peace of mind. .
At this time, Zheng San was dancing with excitement as he looked at the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry, copper coins and various valuable belongings.
"Hahaha, there are four million coins in total, more than four million coins.
I didn't expect these three bastards Zhou Zhuchen, Ma Yukun and Liu Chongyang to be so able to make money.
Even the output of the entire Hexi Province in a year does not have so much money this time.
As long as the Tubo people are defeated, I won’t have to worry about military expenses for several years of fighting.”
Zheng San stood in front of the piles of belongings and chattered non-stop, too excited to control himself.
Ma Lin stood nearby and said, "Master Zheng, all the gold, silver, jewelry and property obtained from the house raid are here.
Do you want to report it to the general?"
Zheng San came back to his senses, thought for a while and said: "The general has not had a good rest these days.
It is rare for him to sleep peacefully tonight, so let him have a good night's sleep.
There is no guarantee what the Tibetan people will do tomorrow.
Let's The general needs to be strong enough to face the Tibetan people's actions tomorrow.
Let's wait until the general wakes up tomorrow before reporting this matter to him."
Ma Lin thought about it and felt that it was not good to disturb Zhao Ziliang's rest now, so she nodded and said: "Then wait until the general wakes up tomorrow before reporting.
I will leave this place to Mr.
Zheng.
I have to interrogate Zhou Zhuchen, Ma Yukun and Liu Chongyang in my humble position."
My family members, please go ahead and say goodbye.”
Zheng San said: "Okay, Lieutenant Ma, go and do your work.
I will ask someone to bring you a midnight snack later."
This time, in addition to more than 4 million guan of property worth a total of 4 million guan, Zheng San also found 6,000 shi of food.
Therefore, Zheng San now has more food in hand and can give supper to the soldiers on duty.
These wealthy businessmen, corrupt officials, The landlords would rather rot in the cellar than use it to support the fleeing people.
Zheng San believed that there must be many wealthy households, officials, wealthy businessmen and landowners in Panhe City who had a lot of grain.
However, these people had hidden the grain, and the army and the government could not search these grains without any reason.
People's homes can only be treated as unknown.
However, once the food in the city was in short supply, Zheng San decided to report it to Zhao Ziliang, forcing these people to hand over the food in their hands to help the entire city's soldiers and civilians tide over the difficulties.
After a detailed inventory, Zheng San recorded these financial items into the warehouse, but less than one-third of them were registered and entered into the warehouse, and the remaining two-thirds were all loaded into trucks and transported away.
Zheng San knew very well that with Zhao Ziliang's ability, it was impossible not to be envied, jealous, and hated by others.
He could not stay in the position of the Great Dou Army Envoy for a long time without moving away.
Even if there were no ministers in the court to slander the emperor, the emperor would still Don't worry about being so capable If a general of the army stays in the same position for a long time, after one or two years, or at most three years, the court will order Zhao Ziliang to be transferred away, or promoted or promoted, and so much money will be spent on Zhao Ziliang's tenure.
It is absolutely inexhaustible, if these All the money is registered and put into the treasury, and it cannot be taken away until it is spent.
In the past few years, Zheng San has also had a deep feeling in the military and officialdom.
No matter when and where, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
With money, , the army can buy enough food and grass, and then With sophisticated weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and with money, you can smoothen your relationships and move smoothly in the officialdom.
But without money, you can only move forward, and you will be suppressed and squeezed.
The best result is to stand still and avoid being demoted by your superiors with excuses.
The job is pretty good.
With the millions hidden, Zheng San never thought about being greedy.
He felt that it was necessary to hoard some money for Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang would have greater achievements in the future, and by that time, the money he had intercepted would be able to help Zhao Ziliang is very busy.

And to do this kind of thing, he used his own personal guards to do it, and outsiders didn't know it at all.
And he planned to report this matter to Zhao Ziliang after some time.
Early morning on the fourteenth day of the siege.
Zhao Ziliang was awakened by a burst of noise.
As soon as he stood up, he saw one of his followers walking in quickly.
He asked, "What's going on outside?
Why is there such a commotion?"
The retinue immediately bowed and saluted and reported: "General, the Tibetan army has arrived outside the south city gate.
Their chief general, Lang Zhidu, the second prince of Tubo, is standing alone outside the city, calling for formation and asking the general to go out of the city and fight to the death with him before returning."
Zhao Ziliang frowned: "What else can you say?"
"He also ordered many Tibetan soldiers to yell and curse outside the city and insult the general's ancestors.
Those words were so unpleasant that the soldiers on the city wall were furious.
Even the injured General Wang Nan and Lieutenant Ge Shuhan were so angry that they were so angry.
If Lord Zheng San hadn't stopped them, he would have opened the city gate and gone out to fight Lang Zhidu just because he was afraid that they would find him."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang turned blue with anger.
He stood up and said angrily: "This is really unreasonable.
Go ask my wife to bring someone over to wash and clothe me."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang finished washing up under the service of Nie Sanniang and two maids, ate something in a hurry, and finished dressing up with the help of several servants.
Then he took the gold-nailed Zaoyang Scorpion and climbed onto Wuli.
The horse headed towards the south gate.
After galloping all the way, Zhao Ziliang soon arrived at the south gate.
Zhao Ziliang jumped off the ulama, handed the golden nail Zaoyang Yang and the ulima to the guards, and quickly climbed up the tower.
Wang Nannan, Ge Shuhan, Ma Lin, Zheng San and others were all on the tower at this time.
When they saw Zhao Ziliang coming, they all bowed and saluted: "General" Zhao Ziliang nodded, walked to the battlements of the city tower, supported the city wall and looked down.
He saw a member of the city, the Tubo General, wearing shining armor.
The weapons and horses were inlaid with a large number of precious stones, gold and silver, and the general's crotch one horse The war horse is also extraordinary and extraordinary.
Looking at the Tubo general himself, he has a handsome face, a broad forehead, piercing eyes, a tall stature, thick limbs, and a strong body.
He is a rare person.
The brave general.
Zhao Ziliang said loudly: "This general is Zhao Ziliang.
Who is there in the city?
Please tell me by name."
The luxuriously equipped Tubo general shouted loudly: "I am Lang Zhiduye, the second prince of the Tubo Kingdom.
The leader of the Tubo army this time, Tang General Zhao Ziliang, listen.
Come out of the city and fight to the death with me.
If you defeat me, , our Tibetan army will retreat and return to the north of the Qilian Mountains, and will not invade again.
If you lose, order your generals and sergeants to surrender obediently to the city.
Do you dare to die?"
This is not easy to handle.
Tens of thousands of troops from both sides are here.
If you say you dare not or do not agree, the morale of your own soldiers will definitely plummet.
If you really want to go out of the city to confront Langzhidu, the opponent's army is so close to the city wall. , it is easy to launch a sudden attack, and the army comes like a tide.
Even if there is Tongtian, it may not be able to stop the full-scale attack of the Tibetan army.
The light in Zhao Ziliang's eyes flashed away, and he laughed immediately: "Hahahaha, Lang Zhidu, do you think I, Zhao Ziliang, am a fool?
Do you think that the general doesn't know your plot?

You want to trick the general into leaving the city, and then you take advantage of it."
My general is unstable and launches an attack suddenly, taking advantage of the situation to invade our city, so that I won’t be fooled by you.”
Unexpectedly, Lang Zhi felt greatly insulted after hearing Zhao Ziliang's words, and shouted angrily: "Well, Zhao Ziliang, I sincerely want to decide the ownership of Panhe City based on the outcome of you and me. , so that soldiers on both sides would not be in vain You lost your life, but you judge a gentleman's favor with a villain's heart.
This prince will not care about you.
I ordered the army to retreat two miles to give your Tang army a foothold.
When both sides set up their positions, you and I The two sides will fight again, what do you think?"
As soon as he said these words, all the generals and sergeants on the city wall looked at Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang knew that the second Tubo prince Lang Zhidu was afraid that he would really fight to the death, otherwise he would not take the initiative to withdraw two miles to give himself and his troops time to fight.
Arrange the formation in space, and if you don't agree, your soldiers will definitely feel humiliated and their morale will plummet.
But this is exactly what Zhao Ziliang needs.
As long as the other party makes space and distance for him to fully deploy the military formation and allow the soldiers and horses to gain a foothold under the city, he will not be afraid of Lang Zhidu.
Although Lang Zhidu has extraordinary military power, But he couldn't defeat himself.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Zhao Ziliang knew that he should not easily go out of the city to challenge the enemy generals, but when he saw that his generals Although Ma Lin's martial arts is good, he lacks combat experience and is still a little behind.
Although Ge Shuhan and Wang Ruo are both superb generals with higher martial arts than Lang Zhidu, both of them were injured. , and other generals are either stationed in the other three gates to defend, or their military force is not as good as Langzhidu.
At this time, he can only lead his troops out of the city to fight with Langzhidu.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said to Lang Zhidu: "Okay, Lang Zhidu, I promise you that I will give you two quarters of an hour to prepare.
You can stand back two miles and wait."
Lang Zhi had no idea that his decision was playing into Zhao Ziliang's hands.
Seeing that Zhao Ziliang agreed to go out of the city to fight him, he said happily on the spot: "Okay, I will give you two quarters of an hour, and also ordered the entire army to retreat two miles to wait for you."
After saying this, Lang Zhidu turned his horse around and galloped towards his own army formation, ordering the entire army to retreat two miles.
On top of the city, all the generals and commanders saw that Zhao Ziliang had agreed to go out of the city to fight the two Tubo princes, and they all tried to dissuade him.
Zheng San said: "General, no, the Tubo army has an absolute advantage.
The general can not bring many troops out of the city.
Once he is besieged by the Tubo army, , I’m afraid the odds are stacked against me, but for the sake of the safety of the entire city’s soldiers and civilians, I would like to ask the general to think twice.”
Other generals also tried to dissuade them, and Wang Jinlan even said: "The general is the commander-in-chief of our army and should not be moved lightly.
It is better to let the last general lead the troops out of the city to fight to the death with Lang Zhidu."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Jinlan, shook his head and said: "No, if you were not injured, I, the general, would be able to kill Lang Zhidu with your ability.
But now that you are injured and your martial arts skills cannot be used at 30%, what should I do?"
Lang Zhidu’s opponent” Brother Shu Han next to him was also about to speak, but Zhao Ziliang had already blocked his mouth: "Brother Shu Han, you can't do it either.
You are covered with injuries, which are almost the same as those of Wang Rao.
There is no need to say more, Ma Lin, go ahead."
According to the general's military order, in addition to the 600 cavalry, another 1,400 people will be drawn from the entire army to form 2,000 cavalry.
Soldiers who can fight on horseback will not be included.
Those who cannot ride will not be included.
There is not much time, and there are only two Quarter of an hour, move quickly, let’s go.”
Ma Lin cupped her hands and said: "Promise, my subordinates will do it right away":
