After listening to Zhao Ziliang's report, Tian Renwan took a sip of tea and said: "Ziliang, in these short three months, you have done so much, which is very good, but you are still a little reckless.
You should not kill him."
Cui Shijie, the eldest son of the Princess Palace of Jin Kingdom, I am listening It is said that the princess of Jin and his wife went to Beijing to complain to the emperor a few days ago.
Although the emperor not only failed to punish you, but also reprimanded the princess and his wife of Jin.
However, these two are not easy-going people.
I am worried that they will do it in the future.
I will cause trouble for you and make it difficult for you to move east of the river."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Commander, in fact, they have started to cause trouble for the general.
A few days ago, the general arranged for his men to raise a batch of military rations so that the Kelan Army, Datong Army and Yunzhong Shouchuo could hold on until During the summer harvest, nobles from the three states promised to donate a batch of grain and grass, but they were pulled back halfway through the delivery.
Later, when the general asked about it, he found out that it was the princess's palace of the Jin Kingdom that was causing trouble."
After all, Tian Renwan brought Zhao Ziliang here from Chang'an.
He couldn't blame Zhao Ziliang too much for what he did wrong.
He thought for a while and asked, "How much more military rations do you have?"
"Three months."
After Zhao Ziliang said this, he saw Tian Renwan's brows furrowed.
He guessed that Tian Renwan might not be able to raise so much food for the time being, so he said, "Don't worry, Commander, he will find a way to raise food in the end."
Tian Renwan couldn't help but be stunned, and a warmth suddenly rose in his heart.
He had been an official for 20 or 30 years, and his subordinates had always come to him to ask for this or that.
When they had difficulties, they would come to him.
No subordinates had ever worried about bringing him trouble.
Trouble, take the initiative to solve the problem.
Tian Renwan suppressed the warmth in his heart and asked: "How can you raise food and grass?
You know that from the beginning of spring to the summer harvest, there is a period of drought everywhere, and the landlords have no surplus food."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, raised his head and said seriously: "Commander, I would like to ask you to grant me the right to freely enter and exit the border to fight."
After saying this, Tian Renwan immediately understood Zhao Ziliang's intention, which was to use war to support war and use the war to obtain food and other supplies, as long as it lasted until the summer harvest.
Based on Zhao Ziliang's past record, Tian Renwan still believed that he had this ability.
To achieve this goal, the northern nomadic tribes and The barbarians in the Western Regions and the Tubo Army are different.
Both the Barbarian Army in the Western Regions and the Tubo Army have infantry.
The Barbarian Army in the Western Regions has the majority of cavalry, and the infantry is a minority.
The Tubo Army has an equal number of infantry and cavalry.
This is related to the terrain, region and national conditions, but the northern tribes have It’s different.
The north is almost full of endless prairie. , so basically all of them are light cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is much stronger than that of the barbarian army and the Tubo cavalry in the Western Regions.
Tian Renwan is still a little worried about Zhao Ziliang leading the army to the north of the Great Wall.
This is just one of his worries, and Another point, if Zhao Ziliang is allowed to have the freedom to lead troops abroad to fight, Tian Renwan will definitely be under tremendous pressure from all aspects of the government and the public, because whether to fight, whom to fight, and what to fight can only be decided by the emperor and the court.
In peacetime, border generals can only stick to defense zones and borders.
Without imperial edicts and instructions from the court, unauthorized attacks are not allowed.
At this time, Tian Renwan's character of being hesitant and fearful of wolves and tigers came out.
He frowned and said: "Ziliang, is it too risky to want the right to travel abroad freely just to raise food and grass?"
, we still have a lot to do about raising food and fodder.
You can think about it, but the right to freely enter and exit the border to fight is not so easy to give.
The imperial court has a unified deployment of the imperial court.
If your military actions disrupt the overall deployment of the emperor and the imperial court, not only will you not be able to shoulder this responsibility, Even I can’t bear this responsibility.”
After hearing Tian Renwan's words, Zhao Ziliang knew what concerns he had.
After thinking about it, he decided to try and persuade Tian Renwan, saying: "Commander, in fact, the reason why the general wants to do this is not all for the sake of food and grass.
Since the king After General Zhongsi defeated the Xi army, , there are no powerful grassland tribes within nearly a thousand miles due north of our river.

Even if the general leads his army to attack those small tribes, they have no way to retaliate and can only be beaten passively.
The general will not disrupt the court's deployment.
Moreover, in doing so, the general can cooperate and coordinate General Wang Zhongsi’s military operations in the north, try to communicate with General Wang Zhongsi in advance, so as not to disrupt his plan.
Commander, for a long time, only the barbarians from the north have gone south through the Great Wall defense line and penetrated deep into the hinterland of China to burn, kill and loot. , why can’t we take the initiative Can we always be passively beaten when we attack?
People come to our homes to beat us.
Why can’t we go to other people’s homes and beat them?
Why is it that our homes are always ransacked and destroyed and they come and beat us whenever they want?
Let’s go, can we only be beaten forever?”
Tian Renwan was silent for a long time after listening to Zhao Ziliang's words.
He also knew that what Zhao Ziliang said was the truth.
Many generals had had this idea, and some had taken practical actions.
For example, Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty and Gongsun Zan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty took the initiative to lead their troops deep into the city.
The grasslands attacked the northern nomadic tribes.
Tian Renwan sighed: "Ziliang, I understand what you are thinking.
Many people have thought about going out to attack, but we do not have the conditions.
The barbarians in the north are all on cavalry, coming and going like the wind, but we have few cavalry and many infantry.
I want to Is it necessary to come and go like the wind like the barbarians in the north?
It is possible that on the northern grasslands, if the army does not move fast, it will be easily overtaken.
Moreover, if the northern barbarians are weak, they will actively retreat to avoid their sharp edges and not engage in battle with us.
In the end, we will not only destroy them, but also And we brought ourselves down.”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, but still said: "The general understands what the commander-in-chief means, but if you want to fight deep into the grasslands, of course you cannot use conventional tactics.
If you use a combination of foot and cavalry, the marching speed of the army will of course be very slow.
If you use all the tactics Infantry is no good either.
The best way is to use cavalry all like the northern barbarians and just hit and leave.
And I won’t bring too many troops and horses at a time, with a maximum of 3,000 cavalry at a time.
Three thousand cavalry is not many, but it is not a lot.
If I am lucky or commanded well, it is possible to achieve greater results with the Datong Army. , Kelan Army and Yunzhong Shouzuo can gather together three thousand cavalry, which is more than enough.
This is also the reason why the general decided to ask the commander for the freedom to travel abroad for combat."
Tian Renwan asked: "What is it?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "It has been two years since the commander-in-chief came to Hedong.
During the days when I was in Chang'an, I vaguely heard the courtiers commenting that the commander-in-chief had done nothing in Hedong.
Many officials suggested to the emperor that the commander-in-chief be replaced.
I also did this to make the commander vent his anger.
Ah, come out after winning a few battles to make the commander proud, and shut up those drunkards in the capital who have had enough to eat and drink and just want to talk for a while.
What do they know about border military and political affairs?
They don't know shit. , all I know is yelling all day long.”
Zhao Ziliang became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end he even slapped the table.
Tian Renwan's face became darker and darker as he listened.
When Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he said angrily: "Damn it, damn it, I'm so angry.
Those people who are just eating corpses in the court have their mouths open."
No effort, who would have known how hard it would be for me to wait here in a bitter cold place and to shed blood on the battlefield?
But they are stabbing in the back.
They are all good people.
I will write an official document to allow you to lead troops out of the country to fight against the enemy freely.
Whatever you want, as long as I have it here, I will try my best to send it to you.

You must give it to me.
I want to fight for my reputation and win a few battles to show those stupid people in the court that someone in my field is not in vain."
Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed, stood up, bowed and clasped his fists, saying: "The last general will take the order."
Tian Renwan was also furious.
He spread out a blank official document on the spot, dipped his brush in ink and began to write the official document.
Tian Renwan was a civil servant, so his writing skills were naturally good.
He quickly wrote the official document and stamped it.
He received the seal of the Hedong Jiedu Envoy, wrote it down and handed it to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang took it and glanced at it, then rolled it up and tied it with a red rope and stuffed it into his arms.
In this way, all the responsibility for allowing Zhao Ziliang to freely enter and exit the border to fight fell on Tian Renwan.
However, Tian Renwan was not without considering the consequences.
He immediately began to prepare for a retreat.
He quickly wrote a memorial and asked Chang Shi to send someone to send a horse to the capital.
This was a proposal to the emperor to allow Zhao Ziliang to lead the army.
The memorial for going abroad to fight, now Shuofang Jiedu envoy Wang Zhongsi is planning a military expedition to the north.
It turns out that if Zhao Ziliang can cooperate, Wang Zhongsi will have a helper, which is actually very beneficial.
Although Tian Renwan's memorial has some suspicions of killing it first and reporting it later, the emperor will generally not reject the suggestion of General Jiedushi, unless This suggestion is completely contrary to the deployment of the emperor and the court.
After seeing off the memorial, Tian Renwan asked Zhao Ziliang again: "Zi Liang, you just reported some of your administrative measures and the progress of military reorganization in the three states and the two armies, but you didn't mention Yunzhong Shouchu at all.
Why is that?"
When Zhao Ziliang came to Taiyuan this time, how to deal with Yunzhong Shouchuo was the top priority.
Now Tian Renwan asked, he said solemnly: "Commander, the situation of Yunzhong Shouchuo is very serious.
It is no longer under the control of the imperial court.
The new Yunzhong Guard Wu Tiande came to Yunzhou to secretly meet with the general in two days.
The general reported the situation of his guarding in Yunzhong, and he was ignored.
His military orders could not leave the Yunzhong Guarding House.
Everyone in the Guarding House, including the captains, deputy captains and school captains of the battalions and regiments below, A total of sixty-four major officials controlled the 7,400 people under Shouzhuo Mansion, isolated Wu Tiande.
In addition, they, the prairie barbarians, resold grain, weapons and various prohibited materials with huge amounts of violence, and they would kill anyone who stood in their way.
I was used by them and acted as their executioner.
I didn't give Yun Yun to my predecessor.
A few days ago, they also tried to drag Wu Tiande into the water, but Wu Tiande sternly refused.
Wu Tiande was then completely isolated.
He became the nominal leader of the Yunzhong Guard, but in fact he could not speak at all.
Regardless of the commander-in-chief, the entire Yunzhong Shouchuo Mansion is completely ruined
