Zhao Ziliang slept until dusk.
As soon as he got up, Wang Rao sent someone to tell him that the rewards and celebration banquet were ready.
Thousands of soldiers had gathered in the open space south of the city.
Zhao Ziliang immediately rushed over with his followers.
Of course, the army's celebration banquet cannot be as grand as usual.
There are too many people and there are not so many tables, chairs and benches.
After the meal is prepared, the soldiers line up and take turns to receive food and drinks from the cooks, including white flour steamed buns, pasta, and meat. , there is wine, and everyone has to find a place to eat after receiving these things, or a few people gather together, or a dozen people sit in a circle on the floor.
Ordinary soldiers can only do this, but the treatment of generals and officers is different.
The army has strict distinctions between upper and lower levels.
Generally, the treatment of team leaders and team leaders is higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
Several people have a small table. , there is a bench to sit on, and there is enough food and wine.
The salary for those above the rank of captain is higher.
The table is filled with good wine and meat, and there are dedicated soldiers to serve the food and wine.
The whole camp was noisy.
The cooks had arranged the tables in a long strip, which were piled with boxes containing food, wine and meat.
Next to them, piles of fine wine were piled as high as a hill.
These fine wines were all bought from wealthy households in the city.
There were also those captured from the Tibetan army.
When Zhao Ziliang arrived, all the soldiers had finished receiving the food and wine, and the generals had already sat down at the tables.
Seeing Zhao Ziliang galloping towards him, all the generals and soldiers stood up and bowed down: "Welcome General" After this battle, Zhao Ziliang firmly established himself in the Great Dou Army and gained the recognition of all the generals and soldiers.
In the army, as a general, only those who can fight, fight, and win can be recognized by the soldiers.
And follow, following such a general, the chances of soldiers surviving will be greatly increased.
Who doesn't want to die if he can live?
This is a prerequisite.
On this basis, if the general can distinguish rewards and punishments, treat people fairly, and never show favoritism, the whole army will be in awe.
Going one step further, if the general can love and love Soldiers are like sons, and if they can share joys and sorrows, life and death with them, they will be supported by them.
Zhao Ziliang walked to a high platform that had been set up.
Some major generals were here.
He came to the stage and raised his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, please rise."
"Clatter, clatter, clatter."
All the soldiers stood up, and the armor leaves on their bodies made a clattering sound.
Zhao Ziliang said loudly to all the soldiers: "Since ancient times, there have been four kinds of relationships with the deepest affection.
Those who have carried guns together, those who have passed through windows together, those who have had sex together, those who have gone whoring together, and those who have carried guns together are ranked The first one refers to our comrades who live and die together on the battlefield. , when facing life and death, he gave his back to Pao Ze without any hesitation.
Trust without any conditions, this kind of family relationship is better than blood brothers.
Today we are still alive, and those comrades who cover our backs are Men, brethren, they die forever to bring wine.”
A large jar of wine was patted open, and the clear wine was poured into a porcelain bowl and brought over on a tray.
Zhao Ziliang took the bowl of wine and raised it above his head and loudly said: "This first bowl of wine is dedicated to those dead comrades in Paoze.
They are the first contributors to the victory of this war.
We will miss them forever.
May their souls rest in peace in heaven."
After that, the first bowl of wine was poured on the ground.
Everyone poured the first bowl of wine on the ground.
No one cared about whether it would be too wasteful.
Zhao Ziliang took another bowl of wine and said: "Historically, it is not us soldiers who have suffered the most severe trauma in wars, but the innocent people.
We and other soldiers take the military pay and salary from the court and the country to defend our country and open up frontiers."

Soil, die in battle It's all natural, but the people are so innocent.
Our food, clothing, and supplies are all taxes collected by the court from the people.
It can be said that the people support us.
I am also the son of the people.
I believe that most of you All Yes, it can be said that the common people are our parents and relatives, but we failed to protect those people who were killed by the enemy in the war and whose homes were destroyed.
I feel ashamed.
This second bowl of wine, I want to pay tribute to those who are here.
To the people who died in World War II, we must ensure that from now on, no one will be killed by the enemy in our defense zone, and no enemy will be allowed to enter our land again.
This is my oath. , should also be your oath."
An atmosphere of sadness spread in the air in the camp.
Everyone's eyes were moist, their noses were stuffed, and their throats were choked.
No one spoke, and they all poured their wine on the ground silently.
Zhao Ziliang took another bowl of wine and said: "This third bowl of wine, I would like to pay tribute to you.
It was you who fought bloody battles without fear of life and death.
You persisted for more than ten days and nights and fought fiercely with the Tibetan army to save the city." , saved all the people in the city, you are also the hero, no one dares to deny this, starting from tomorrow, the merits and rewards will involve everyone, no one will be left out, come, let’s work together.”
All the soldiers uniformly echoed loudly: "Do it!"
After drinking, Zhao Ziliang said again: "I have urgent military affairs tomorrow.
It's not appropriate to drink too much tonight, so I won't accompany you.
The generals and generals of the various armies will celebrate with you.
The officers and men will eat and drink well, and eat wine, meat and food freely." , If there is not enough, I will take the first step and say goodbye.”
All the soldiers clasped their fists and bowed in salute: "Farewell General" Zhao Ziliang put down his wine bowl, waved to Zheng San, and walked towards the high platform.
Zheng San knew that Zhao Ziliang wanted to hear the statistics of the seizures, so he quickened his pace and followed him to report: "General, all the seizures have been counted.
Ma Lin defeated Tubo."
A total of 3,500 gold, 123,400 taels of silver, 1,835,640 copper coins, and pearls were seized after the military camp.
Three carts of jewels and jewels.
In addition to this money, a total of more than 3,600 horses, 1,860 camels, more than 12,000 cattle and sheep, as well as armor, weapons, bows and arrows, countless grains and grass were seized.
"The general will lead his army to Liangzhou tomorrow for reinforcements.
Two thousand people will have three days of dry food, horse supplies, and arrows.
My subordinates have ordered people to prepare them.
They will be ready before dawn."
"Very good."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, turned to look at Wang Rao, who was walking on the left, and asked, "General Wang, have the prisoners been counted?"
Wang Nannan reported: "General, in this battle, our army killed a total of 24,000 enemy troops and captured 14,000 people.
Among the prisoners, there were more than 4,000 wounded soldiers who were unable to move and work.
According to the general's instructions, , all of these people have been executed, and now there are still about 10,000 prisoners being held in a military camp ten miles outside the city.
In addition, there are still some fleeing Tibetan soldiers scattered throughout the county, but Ge Shuhan has already Take someone to arrest you.”
Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, we must strictly guard those prisoners, and we must not slack off and send someone to tell Ge Shuhan that the escaped Tibetan soldiers must be eliminated within three days, and we must not let them stay in Hexi to produce for the people." and wreak havoc in your wake.”
Wang Nan agreed: "Promise, I will send someone to give orders to Ge Shuhan later."
Zhao Ziliang said to Zheng San again: "It's already April now.
I'm afraid all the winter wheat of the people has been looted by the Tubo people.
Let's divide some of the grain we captured to help the people.
In addition, we have sown the seeds before the war.
But being treated like this by the Tubo people, I'm afraid that the seeds sown in many fields have been destroyed.
It's not too late now.
It's still too late to make repairs.

We must organize manpower immediately, especially those prisoners, and replant the seeds, canals, and dams.
It also needs to be renovated to minimize losses.”
Zheng San agreed: "General, don't worry, my subordinates will get started immediately."
At dawn on the third day of April, Zhao Ziliang finished washing up under Nie Sanniang's service.
He hugged her already pregnant, patted her on the back and said: "My husband is going to lead the army to go on an expedition.
It will take half a month at most and three to five days at least."
Go back, don't be careful at home, be careful and protect the baby in your belly."
"Yes."
Nie Sanniang agreed softly, burying her head on Zhao Ziliang's chest and quietly listening to his strong heartbeat.
"When you are on an expedition, you must be careful and don't show off.
The slave family and the child in your belly are still waiting for your return." .
"Don't worry, don't worry, let them come and wear it for me."
Several servants were called in to put on Zhao Ziliang's armor and helmet.
After putting them on, Zhao Ziliang and Nie Sanniang walked to the door.
Nie Sanniang waved to Nuer who was following behind.
Nuer followed and asked: "Master mother" Nie Sanniang said to Zhao Ziliang: "Husband, the city is safe now.
Just leave ten servants to look after the house.
Let Nuer go with you, and you two will have someone to take care of you."
Zhao Ziliang knew that Nie Sanniang was worried about his safety, so he agreed: "Okay, Nuer, go and get ready.
We will wait for you at the gate."
"Yes, Master" The two of them walked to the gate.
The servants on horseback had been waiting in neat formation at the gate for a long time.
The Ulama and the Golden Nail Zaoyang Yang had been prepared by the servants.
After the two had a conversation, Nuer came over carrying a heavy steel fortress armor and a giant ax.
A carriage was driven over.
His armor and huge ax were placed on the carriage, and the followers arranged for him.
He ordered three war horses to take turns changing rides on the road, otherwise one or two war horses would not be able to carry his heavy body.
When there was a glimmer of light in the sky, Zhao Ziliang took Nuer and forty followers to the South Gate Urn City.
Two thousand cavalry and four thousand horses were already waiting here.
According to Zhao Ziliang's request, each cavalry was equipped with two cavalrymen.
A war horse is rotated during a high-speed march in order to obtain high-speed maneuverability and fast marching capabilities.
Without any mobilization, Zhao Ziliang directly waved the order to set off.
The city gate slowly opened, and the army slowly left the city and disappeared into the dawn night
