The air is crisp in autumn, and the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep can be seen.
In the far distance of the grassland, a long team came with flags fluttering in the wind and the sound of weapons and armor rubbing against each other.
Zhao Ziliang and Duan Xiushi were riding at the front of the team.
Bo Lehan had already sent people to investigate the front.
Since the team left the actual control area of the Tang Army and entered the range of Wu Nu Shibi Department, the situation has become Be subtle.
In the past two days, Wu Nu's missing cavalrymen from various units often spied around the Tang army.
In order to prevent his specific situation from being discovered, Zhao Ziliang ordered Bo Lehan to lead people to chase and kill these rangers.
He knew very well that although Wu Nu The various tribes in Shibi formed an alliance because of their common interests on the Silk Road to maintain the security of this road.
However, now that Ashina Xin has come to take up the position of Khan with the Ten Surnames, it has posed a huge threat to the leaders of each tribe.
This involves a struggle for power.
In the original situation where there was no Khan of the Ten Surnames, these tribal leaders lived a very comfortable life, but now suddenly there is a Khan of the Ten Surnames supervising them.
It is conceivable that , how reluctant they all are.
Now these tribes are just sending rangers to spy around the team.
In the next few days, maybe they will send people to attack and kill Ashina Xin, the ten-surnamed Khan appointed by the imperial court. .
Zhao Ziliang took out his telescope and observed the surrounding situation, and asked Duan Xiushi: "How has the situation of various Western Turkic ministries been in recent years?
Are they still honest?"
Duan Xiushi said: "It's okay that the Bi Department of the Five Crossbows is missing, but the Lu Department of the Five Bases is a little dishonest."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked, "Is it because of Mohe Dagan?"
Duan Xiushi nodded and said: "Yes, Mohe Dagan's tooth tent is located in Yuegong City, which is in the center of Wuzu Land.
In recent years, Mohe Dagan has used various means to regain many small tribes.
Wuzu Several tribes in the Lu tribe have also surrendered under his lustful power.
If this continues, I am afraid that the remaining tribes in the Wuchu land will also be captured by him."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said: "It seems that when I return to Beijing, the general will discuss with the commander to treat this Mohe Dagan and make him more honest."
While the two were talking, several rangers appeared from the right side of the team.
Judging from the appearance, their attire should belong to the Wuchu Land Department.
These rangers were bold enough to get so close to the Tang army.
This made Zhao Ziliang furious.
He immediately shouted: "Duan Xiushi, send people to capture them and ask who they belong to.
If they dare to resist, they will be killed without mercy."
"promise" Duan Xiushi immediately sent out a team of Ye Bu Zhou to pursue the Western Turkic Rangers.
After about half an hour, the chasing team retreated and lost one man.
However, they returned five horses and five heads.
The commander reported to Zhao Ziliang and Duan Xiushi: "General, I'm young.
When chasing them, they shot arrows at us while fleeing, and we immediately retaliated.
After two quarters of an hour of fighting, one of us was killed and we wiped out all of them.
These were the human heads and their horses, saddles, weapons, and bows and arrows." .
The two looked at the horses, objects and five bloody heads.
Duan Xiushi turned to Zhao Ziliang and said, "General, these are Mohe Dagan's people."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "It is normal for him to send people to investigate our situation.
Ashina Xin's return to the Western Turks does not pose a big threat to the leaders of the Ten Surnamed Tribes, but it poses the greatest threat to him, and he has always believed that The position of the Ten Khans should be his.
Therefore, I am very dissatisfied that the imperial court gave Ashina Xin the title of Khan of the Ten Surnames instead of him.
Xiushi, my general will return after sending Ashina Xin to Julan City.
It is impossible to stay there for a long time. , this time you led troops to station in Julan City to support Ashina Xin.
We must be careful.
We can make use of the leaders of the Wunu Shibi tribe.

They have common interests with us, and try to gain their support so that they can be hostile to Ashina Xin, but they cannot be allowed to attack him.
At the same time, we must win over him. they deal with moheda Qian and his tribal minions, there is our envoy in Julan City, we must have a good relationship with this person, and keep abreast of the news of the tribes through him.
In addition, we must also contact Suiye Governor's Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion at any time.
Report to them the situation in Julan City."
Duan Xiushi cupped his hands and promised: "General, don't worry, I will understand in the end."
Leading a thousand troops with the rank of guerrilla general and stationed in Julan City is considered a low-level job.
Without Zhao Ziliang's promotion and recommendation, Duan Xiushi would not have been promoted from a night-time squad leader to a guerrilla general so quickly.
Such promotion and promotion The recommendation is completely without any selfish motives, so Duan Xiushi not only respects Zhao Ziliang, but also feels grateful.
When a thousand-mile horse meets Bole, a scholar will die for his confidant.
Every time you pass a tribal gathering place along the way, the local tribal leaders will personally greet you.
These leaders are basically the people who signed an alliance with Zhao Ziliang back then, and they are also the people who have experienced the battle of the Tang Army to annihilate the Fire Spitting Immortal.
They not only respect Zhao Ziliang feared, but also admired, although they The next time Ashina Xin returned to the Western Turks and inherited the position of Khan of the Ten Surnames, he was not happy, but he did not dare to show any enemy to Zhao Ziliang.
This man had killed mountains of blood and was ruthless.
They all said it with their own eyes.
You don't want to anger him, even if you want to do something, you have to wait until he leaves before doing it.
On this day, several more rangers sent by Mohe Dagan spied on Zhao Ziliang's army.
Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered Duan Xiushi to send Ye Busuo to pursue them, and asked Ye Busuo, who was responsible for the pursuit, not to kill all the rangers.
The last person who was seriously injured was let go, and a letter was left on the seriously injured rider.
One hundred miles northwest of Ashbulai City, on the south bank of Broken Leaf River.
Hundreds of tents are scattered messily on a green grassland by the river.
In the middle of a large tent with various small colorful flags hanging, Mohe Dagan with white beard and hair sits on a large tiger skin chair and eats meat.
While drinking wine, he was accompanied by several captains and shamans, and Liang Wenzhao was also among them.
Liang Wenzhao was eating meat while observing the expressions of Mohedagan and others.
After a while, he saw that Mohedagan was in a good mood, so he put down the meat knife, wiped his hands, and fucked Mohedagan.
He cupped his fists and said, "Khan, if Now Zhao Ziliang has escorted Ashina Xin through Ashbulai City.
If he doesn't take action, there will be no chance.
When they reach Julan City, that is Ge Shukun's territory.
Ge Shukun is afraid that he will not allow Khan.
Let’s take action on his territory.”
Mohe Dagan was a little unhappy when he heard this.
He glanced at Liang Wenzhao and said, "Why are you so anxious?
Don't you know how powerful Zhao Ziliang is?
You don't understand the situation of Zhao Ziliang's army and you just attack rashly.
This Khan would not do such a stupid thing."
At this moment, a centurion rushed in and bowed down: "Khan, the fourth team of rangers sent has returned.
Coco only came back with one person, who was still seriously injured, but there was a letter on him.
It was from General Tang.
Written by Zhao Ziliang to Khan" When everyone in the tent heard this, their expressions changed.
Mohdagan even stopped eating the meat and quickly wiped his hands and said, "Bring the letter quickly."
After reading the letter, the muscles on Mohdagan's face and body were trembling.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and said to Liang Wenzhao: "Mr.
Liang, please step aside for a moment.
I have to discuss matters with my subordinates."
Although Liang Wenzhao really wanted to stay and listen to what they had to say, but now they were seeing guests off directly, he couldn't stay away, so he stood up with a smile and cupped his hands and said: "In that case, I will go back to the camp.
If anything happens to the Khan, Just send someone to say goodbye."

As soon as Liang Wenzhao left, Mohe Dagan shook his right hand and wrote a letter to his subordinates on the left and right sides: "Zhao Ziliang already knew that we sent four groups of rangers to inquire about their movements.
He severely reprimanded Ben Khan in the letter. , and warned not to let Ben Khan take advantage of Ashina Xin, otherwise he would lead his troops to annihilate Yuegong City."
As soon as he said this, a captain stood up and shouted: "How brave, Zhao Ziliang really thinks that he is invincible.
Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him.
Khan, please give me two thousand troops."
I will definitely take his head back and use it as a urinal for the Khan."
Mohe Dagan was also very angry by Zhao Ziliang's tone in the letter.
He felt that this captain was very courageous and was about to agree.
An old shaman next to him said calmly: "Someone also said the same thing a few years ago. , but they were all dead.
Zhao Ziliang was only eighteen or nineteen years old at that time.
Now Zhao Ziliang is twenty-two years old.
His force is even better than before in the Battle of Suiye City.
That battle lasted all day.
After the battle, everyone people They were all exhausted, but he was still vigorous and vigorous.
He alone killed more than 2,000 enemies, with more than 2,000 heads.
This was a real enemy of ten thousand people, and it was definitely not a boast.
You brought 2,000 troops, and it was not enough for him.
It’s hard for one person to have a gap in his teeth, not to mention that he also has Duan Xiu Shi, a thousand elite men.
If you want to deal with him and this group of people, you can’t do it without more than 10,000 elite cavalry.
Khan, are you willing to spend such a huge sum of money?”
Mohe Dagan actually has 20,000 people, but he only has 10,000 elite cavalry.
This is all his wealth.
If he wants to use all his wealth to deal with Zhao Ziliang, he is not mentally ill.
This kind of loss-making Of course I don’t dare to buy or sell.
Mohdagan sighed and asked the old man: "Shaman, now that Ashina Xin is back, once he secures the position of the Ten Khans, nothing will happen to this Khan.
His age is already He’s not young anymore, but Ashina Xin is still young, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive him.”
The shaman touched his long beard and said slowly: "Khan, is it possible that Zhao Ziliang will stay in Julan City forever?"
Mohe Dagan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, "The shaman said that we should wait until Zhao Ziliang leaves Anxi before taking action."
The shaman smiled, nodded and said: "Well, now in Anxi, only Zhao Ziliang is really difficult to deal with.
As for the others, they probably don't care about the Khan."
Mohe Dagan was a little happy after hearing this, but he frowned and said: "Once we kill Ashina Xin, will Fumeng Lingqi pretend that he has not seen this person?
Although this person is not as terrible as Zhao Ziliang, he controls the entire Anxi military and political affairs."
Da Quan is not an easy person to deal with."
The shaman smiled and said: "After Ashinaxin arrives in Julan City, Geshukun will definitely not let him live in the city, so he can only set up his tent outside the city.
At that time, the Khan will send an army to surround him.
Camp, kill him and the thousand Tang troops without letting any one go.
As long as the news is not leaked, who can be sure that it was Khan who did it?
Then the biggest suspect will be Ge Shukun, not Khan."
Moheda clapped his hands together and laughed: "Hahahaha, this plan of the shaman is very clever.
If it's wonderful, just follow this plan."
At this time, a leader next to him asked: "If Khan decides to do this, how can we explain to Mr.
Liang from Chang'an that Khan has already collected his ordinary supplies?"
Mohdagan snorted coldly and said: "He thinks that just these things can bribe Ben Khan to dream.
Ben Khan doesn't need to explain to him at all.
Go and call him."

"Yes, Khan" Liang Wenzhao was quickly called over.
After seeing Mohe Dagan, he asked: "I wonder what the Khan is calling me for?"
"Kill you!"
Mohdagan snorted coldly, and immediately waved his hand: "Come here, drag him out and chop him up."
Liang Wenzhao's face changed greatly: "Khan, you can't be like this.
Since you have accepted the supplies, you can't go back on your word.
You can't break your promise."
"For you Tang people, I don't need to talk about integrity.
As for the remaining half of the supplies, I will personally take people to Xilin to capture them."
No matter how Liang Wenzhao screamed, Mohe Dagan did not change his mind after all.
He was dragged out by two strong men, and soon there was a scream.
After a while, a soldier walked in carrying a human head
