In late August, after another year's Mid-Autumn Festival, housekeeper Wang Ru sent someone from Chang'an to report that the eldest wife Chen Qingying gave birth to a daughter on the fifth day of August.
Wang Ru's letter said that Chen Qingying asked Zhao Ziliang to give the little girl a name. , Zhao Ziliang immediately replied to Chen Qingying's letter, asking her to confine her confinement with peace of mind, take more supplements, and name the little girl Zhao Xue.
Nie Sanniang was very happy when she heard that Chen Qingying had successfully given birth to a daughter.
She also wrote a few words at the end of the letter to express her greetings.
At the same time, she also collected several high-quality firefox skins and asked a skilled tailor to make them.
He gave two furs to the retinue who reported the news and asked them to take them back to Chang'an.
Zhao Ziliang stated in the letter that without the emperor's edict and official documents from the court, he could not leave his residence and return to Beijing without authorization.
Therefore, he was afraid that he would not be able to regret visiting her, his son Zhao Lei and the newborn girl Zhao Xue in Chang'an in a short time.
If he had not returned to Beijing after the little girl turned one year old, he asked her to leave only a few servants to take care of the manor and the house in the city in Chang'an.
He took his son Zhao Lei and daughter Zhao Xue to escort him down to Hexi, and the family reunited.
After more than three months of training, the basic training of the Dadou Army has been completed, and it entered the tactical training stage a month ago.
Compared with other garrisons in Hexi, the training tasks of the Dadou Army at the request of Zhao Ziliang are extremely high.
Heavy, extremely frequent, and the daily training schedule is full.
The training tasks that other garrisons take half a year to complete, the Da Dou Army only needs more than two months to complete, and has entered the actual stage of tactical training.
On this day, Zhao Ziliang summoned the generals to discuss matters.
Before the meeting began, after the generals arrived, there was a lot of discussion in the lobby.
Dong Yanguang kept rubbing his shoulders and twisting his waist and sighed: "I have been really tired these past few months. , I have never heard of someone training so diligently.
If it weren’t for three meals a day, and the soldiers were often made to eat meat, I don’t think any of them would be able to persevere.
They would have almost died in the past few months.”
Wang Nan said: "Although I didn't agree with the general's arrangement of such a heavy training task at the beginning.
It would be counterproductive to train the soldiers too hard, but I didn't expect that the general would use extra meals and competitive rewards to make the soldiers more relaxed."
Morale became even stronger, and the soldiers passed the final After the initial adaptation, I was able to persevere.
If I had put it before, I would have bombed the camp long ago, but now it is safe.
After these few months of training, the spirit and spirit of the soldiers have undergone earth-shaking changes.
This is I have never seen someone before, I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it.”
Zhang Shouyu also sighed: "The general's ability to lead troops is beyond our reach."
Just as the generals were talking about it, a loud voice shouted at the door: "The general is here!"
All the generals couldn't help but stand up, and together they raised their hands towards the main seat and said: "See you, General" Zhao Ziliang walked to the main seat and sat down and pressed his hands: "Everyone, please take a seat.
Come and serve the wine."
When everyone sat down and heard the last sentence, they couldn't help but be startled.
This is a song, isn't it a discussion?
Why are you serving wine?"
In the confused eyes of all the generals, several sergeants walked into the hall carrying a jar of wine and porcelain bowls, and filled each of the generals' bowls with wine.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "General Wang Rao, how is the tactical training of the infantry going?"
Wang Rao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, all tactical coordination drills and formation transformations have been completed.
In the future, we only need to continue to deepen and strengthen the practice."
"Very good."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, and then said: "The cavalry battalion's three thousand cavalry and one thousand reserve teams have completed preliminary tactical drills and formation conversion drills, but judging from the current situation, continued strengthening is needed to The combat effectiveness has been improved to a new level.
I originally planned to go out to attack after the cavalry training is completed in two months, but I did not expect that today Jiedushi Master Wang sent me a military order, asking me to The Da Dou Army sent out five thousand troops and met at the foot of Liangzidun Mountain three days later.
At that time, all armies were sent to join the battle and the troops and horses were assembled.
After the troops and horses were assembled, they immediately marched towards the water canal bend.
If the five thousand people and horses were cavalry, they would arrive at the foot of Liangzidun Mountain within three days.
It’s easy, but if there are infantry, the marching speed will slow down, and the marching time given to us is a bit tight, so the entire army must be mobilized immediately and arrive at Liangzidun within three days.”
"Ah, we are going to send troops to fight the Tibetans so soon.
Our army has not completed all the training tasks yet," Dong Yanguang said with some anxiety.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Dong Yanguang and asked, "You don't want to go?"
Seeing Zhao Ziliang staring at him with murderous intent, Dong Yanguang's heart jumped in fright, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, no, the general has misunderstood the general.
How could the general not be willing to fight if there is a battle?
The general just lamented that the soldiers were still...
We have to go to the battlefield again without completing the training.
The general is worried that the soldiers will suffer too much loss."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "In a war, there are no military orders that will kill people like mountains.
The military orders of Jiedushi Wang have been issued.
If we can't reach the foot of Liang Zidun Mountain in three days, my head will fall to the ground.
But before my head falls to the ground, you guys No one can escape, so even if you climb, you have to climb to the foot of Liangzidun Mountain within three days.
Now that the military order is issued, where is Zhaowu Colonel Ma Lin?"
Ma Lin looked stern, immediately stood up and stood in the middle of the lobby, clasping her fists and saying, "My subordinate is here."
"I order you to lead a thousand cavalry as the vanguard, carry three days of dry food, and open a road thirty miles in front of the main force of the army."
Ma Lin immediately agreed: "I obey" Zhao Ziliang added: "There are three infantry battalions, each battalion has 700 people.
Spearmen, sword and shield bearers and archers must be properly matched.
The infantry rides the cavalry's spare horses.
Each infantryman is pulled forward by a cavalry after being mounted. , this is to speed up the march There is nothing we can do about it.
As an expedient, the infantry is led by captains of each battalion, and the lieutenants lead the remaining soldiers in the battalions to stay behind.
This time in the attack on Shuiquwan, the general must personally lead the troops, but the station must be If someone stays behind, who is willing to stay behind?”
This time the Tang army was very strong.
Wang Jue mobilized 4,000 men and horses from each of the Yumen Army, Jiankang Army, Doulu Army, Moli Army, and Xinquan Army in the northwest.
In addition, the Chishui Army also dispatched 5,000 troops, plus the large army.
The fighting army has a total of 30,000 people.
The soldiers and horses are strong.
Such a number It is not easy for the soldiers and horses to capture a canal bend.
It is obvious that they can get credit by going this time.
Anyone who doesn't go is a fool.
Therefore, when Zhao Ziliang asked who was willing to stay, no one in the lobby took the initiative to stand up and expressed their willingness to stay.
He lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
But it's not okay if no one stays to take charge of the various affairs of the station.
Zhao Ziliang looked around, thought for a moment and then called his name: "Brother Shuhan, you stay here."
Ge Shuhan stood up anxiously: "General."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Ziliang raised his palm to stop him from continuing, and sighed: "I know that you are eager to make contributions, but the station cannot be left without someone to guard it.
You have been focusing on investigation in the past few months.
The movement of the Tubo people is up, and there is little time for rest.
I will let you stay.
On the one hand, I want you to have a good rest, but on the other hand, the station needs someone who can control the situation to lead the new soldiers and frighten the prisoners.
I, the general, look at this room full of people, and you are the only one who can be shocked by such murderous intent.
There are tens of thousands of Tibetan prisoners, Ge Shuhan, don't let me down."
Ge Shuhan had always regarded himself as a brave man.
Now when he saw Zhao Ziliang saying that among all the generals present, he was the only one who could suppress tens of thousands of Tibetan prisoners.
This was a compliment to him.
He was unhappy and beamed with joy.
He quickly handed over his hand and said, "Thank you for your wrong love, General.
I appreciate it."

Geshu, then Geshu will stay.”
Zhao Ziliang slammed the table and said loudly: "Okay, after my general leads the army, all the remaining soldiers and horses in the camp will be under your command.
You must prevent the prisoners from rioting and the Tubo people from raiding outside Dadou Bugu."
"Follow your orders" Zhao Ziliang said to Zheng San again: "Mr.
Zheng, after the main force of our army goes out, you will command the transport camp and the siege camp and bring the army's food, grass, ordnance, and siege equipment."
Zheng San stood up and agreed: "I obey" Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Ruanran and shouted: "General Wang, you will be in charge of the preparations for the mobilization of the army.
After lunch today, the expedition team will set off immediately.
All other generals must cooperate and not slack off."
Everyone stood up, raised their hands and said: "No" The Dadou Army is stationed in the southwest of Panhe County.
From here to Liangzidun Mountain, you have to walk on mountain roads.
The mountain roads are rugged and dangerous in some areas.
You often have to go up and down mountains and climb more than a dozen mountains before you reach Shuiqu Bend.
After the defeat of the Tubo army a few months ago, the defeated troops who fled south of the Qilian Mountains have basically been eliminated by the Tang army.
If the 3,000-strong Tubo army, led by Prince Xirongcan of Tuyuhun, is stationed at Shuiquwan, they want to keep this place to attack Hexi.
Bridgehead, south of the Qilian Mountains, there are only There are three thousand Tibetan troops at the water canal bend, and there is only one road leading from the water canal bend to Panhe County.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang is not worried about attacks from other Tibetan troops.
When conducting reconnaissance at an ambush site, there will be no danger of being ambushed.
The soldiers of the Great Dou Army suffered a lot along the way, especially those infantry who could not ride horses.
Many of them were riding horses for the first time.
You can imagine how difficult it was.
Fortunately, there were cavalry leading in front.
As long as they overcome It's just a matter of self-discomfort.
The army finally arrived at the foot of Liangzidun Mountain on the afternoon of the third day.
All the soldiers of the army were very tired.
Jiedushi Wang Jue sent judge Wang Wei to receive and arrange military affairs.
Judge Wang was the great poet Wang Wei.
Zhao Ziliang had already met Wang Wei several times, and the two were old acquaintances.
This time they met each other.
All very enthusiastic.
Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse and cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, your style is still the same."
Wang Wei cupped his hands and said humbly: "Where is the general?
The general is becoming more and more heroic.
The Dou Army marched hastily for three days.
I am afraid that the men and horses are exhausted.
I have been entrusted by the Jiedushi Master Wang to come here to greet the troops.
The Dou Army is here."
The camp has been arranged.
It is better for the general to lead the troops to camp first so that the soldiers can have a good meal, have a good rest and regain some combat strength."
Zhao Ziliang said: "What Mr.
Wang said is true.
Please give me some guidance as to where our army's camp is."
Wang Wei immediately summoned a minor official and asked him to take Zhao Ziliang to find the camp belonging to the Da Dou Army
