The annihilation of a race within a month is really terrible for other tribes on the grassland.
Zhao Ziliang led his troops from October 5th and eliminated Qibi by October 26th.
The news soon became like The news spread like crazy on the grassland, and it quickly spread to Chang'an, the political center of the Tang Dynasty.
However, none of this had any impact on Zhao Ziliang.
Now Zhao Ziliang is stationed on the banks of the Dule River, which is more than two thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty.
The cattle, sheep, gold, silver, and furs seized in this war are being A steady stream of goods were transported to Hedong.
Zhao Ziliang had special arrangements for the captured horses.
He gathered several surrendered small tribes and asked these people to graze for him.
On this prairie, he sent a thousand cavalry to guard these tens of thousands of Mongolian horses. , he kept it for great use, preparing to form a light and heavy cavalry regiment suitable for long-distance attacks.
On the eighth day of November, after receiving the order from Zhao Ziliang, Zheng San rushed from Yunzhou to the bank of Dule River, also called Duluo River, today's Tula River in Mongolia.
The river is gurgling, and the yellow leaves of the birch forest not far away are blowing to the ground in the autumn wind.
The endless cattle, sheep, and horses beside the river are gnawing on the withered yellow wild grass, and they are fat and strong.
Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat in the tent and gave orders to the generals and officials on the left and right sides: "Zheng San, leave some of the cattle and sheep to reserve meat for the army, and rush the rest to Hedong.
We must enter before it snows heavily."
Close, otherwise cattle and sheep will easily freeze to death and starve to death in the wild.
These Most of the cattle and sheep were sold.
The farmers in my dynasty were short of cattle for plowing the land.
These cattle could be sold at a good price when transported to the Central Plains.
A small number were left for grazing north of the Great Wall.
Yun Zhongjun was responsible for safety work and had to build a Cattle sheds and sheep pens were mobilized to harvest weeds to prepare livestock for the winter.”
Zheng San quickly agreed: "Promise" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and then said to Zheng San: "A certain person has sent an eight hundred-mile speed horse to deliver good news to Lord Tian and the court.
You prepare two thousand cattle and five thousand sheep.
When the Hedong affairs are arranged, I made a special trip to take people to Chang'an to attend the 60th National Congress of the Holy Spirit in September this year.
Birthday, as a minister, I did not return to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the Holy Lord.
These two thousand cows and five thousand sheep are regarded as my belated gifts.
I guess it will be almost the New Year when you arrive in Chang'an.
Please congratulate the Holy Dragon Body on my behalf.
I wish you good health and a happy New Year, and wish the Tang Dynasty and its people peace and prosperity.”
Zheng San quickly agreed: "I understand."
Zhao Ziliang said to Guo Ziyi again: "Ziyi, these tens of thousands of war horses and the remaining cattle and sheep will be handed over to you to take care of, feed and graze.
Now that winter is approaching, we need to build stables, cowsheds and shelters for these tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep."
The sheepfold also needs to prepare a large amount of fodder.
This is not an easy task.
We have the manpower here at your disposal.
In short, before the snow comes in winter, you must make all preparations.
This winter, no one is allowed.
Livestock freeze to death” This task is not an arduous one.
In a place like Mobei, the winter is extremely cold.
It is very difficult not to freeze an animal to death, but it is not impossible.
If you are fully prepared, you can complete this task.
Yes, Guo Ziyi could only bite the bullet and agree, cupping her hands and saying: "Students obey."
Next, Zhao Ziliang plans to build a town here.
He does not plan to build a city wall that is too high.
He only builds an earth wall more than ten feet high to withstand wind and snow.
In this battle, the Tang Army's 6,000 cavalrymen came out of the Great Wall.

Now there are 4,300 cavalry left, 1,700 cavalry were killed in the battle, and nearly 2,000 were wounded.
Zhao Ziliang asked the wounded to return to Hedong to recuperate.
After all, the climate in the south is harsh.
It's warmer and suitable for recuperation.
It's not easy to recover from injuries in Mobei.
In the end, there are still 2,700 cavalry left.
Counting his own personal guards and retinue, there are still 3,000 cavalry at his disposal.
Before the construction of the city by the Dule River began, Zhao Ziliang had already named the town Zhenbeicheng.
On November 15th, Zhao Ziliang was organizing soldiers to build the city wall.
Guo Ziyi came over with a sad face and saluted: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
Zhao Ziliang was sweating profusely.
When he heard the sound, he stopped, turned around, and said with a smile, "It's Ziyi, are you okay?"
Guo Ziyi sighed: "Master, there are too few people available for students.
We have to build stables for tens of thousands of horses, build sheds and sheep pens for cattle and sheep, and harvest fodder.
It is really too busy.
Ah, please Enshuai, please allocate more manpower to the students, otherwise the students may not be able to complete the task before the heavy snow comes."
Gao Xiuyan, who was shirtless and carrying wood next to him, heard this, stopped and sighed: "General, it would have been nice if we had gathered some prisoners a few days ago.
Let the prisoners do these jobs, and we wouldn't have to work so hard."
Zhao Ziliang glared at Gao Xiuyan: "This matter has already happened, and I asked you to give me an idea of what it would do.
You couldn't even think of a thing for a long time, and now you are still complaining that I ordered the killing of all Khitan people."
"No, no, no, general, you may have misunderstood what I meant.
I don't dare to blame the general.
You are busy.
The general has to work first."
Gao Xiuya said and ran away carrying the wood.
Zhao Ziliang was not angry either.
He looked at the Dule River not far away and thought for a while.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he immediately ordered the subordinates around him: "Go and call Zhang Shouyu to see me in the big tent."
"promise" After Zhao Ziliang washed his hands, he greeted Guo Ziyi: "Let's go to the big tent and wait for Zhang Shouyu.
It's up to him whether he can find enough people to help."
The two came to the tent and talked for a while, and Zhang Shouyu arrived not long after.
After greeting him, Zhao Ziliang waved and said: "Shouyu, come here, come here, I want to discuss something with you."
Zhang Shouyu said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare.
If the general has something to do, just give him your orders."
Zhao Zi thought about it in his conscience and said to Zhang Shouyu: "Zi Yi was ordered to take care of the livestock.
It's going to snow soon.
The stables, cow sheds, sheep pens and training are not ready yet.
Mainly.
There are not enough manpower, and the soldiers are all building the city.
Building the city is the first priority.
If we don’t build the city to block the wind and snow, we will all freeze to death first.
Therefore, the construction of the city cannot be delayed.
Therefore, Ziyi does not have enough manpower.
I am thinking of borrowing some manpower from Tongluo in the north.
These barbarians cannot build houses, but they can harvest fodder, so I want to Let you take people across the river to Guilin to meet the leader of Tongluo and ask him to send some men to help us harvest forage."

In the early Tang Dynasty, Tongluo sent envoys to worship the Tang Dynasty and proclaimed themselves ministers.
The Tang Dynasty established the Guilin Dudufu in Guilin, where Tongluo was stationed.
The leader of Tongluo was appointed as the governor of Guilin Dudufu, and the Tang Dynasty sent officials to assist.
Zhang Shouyu frowned and said: "General, will these Tongluo people agree to send people to help us harvest forage?
What if they ignore us?"
Zhao Ziliang's eyes widened after hearing this: "How dare he refuse to agree?
If it weren't for the fact that the Tongluo people have been so honest over the years, I, the general, led people across the river to kill him, Tongluo, a few days ago.
How dare he refuse, my general?"
Leading people to attack the general The flag of the army has passed.
Be polite to him first and ask him for help.
If he resists, say that it is the general's order.
If he excuses himself again, lead his people back.
We will find an excuse to destroy Tongluo together. " Zhang Shouyu's spirit was shaken, he stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "As ordered, I will prepare now and cross the river today."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Well, you go ahead."
After Zhang Shouyu left, Zhao Ziliang said to Guo Ziyi: "The fodder issue can be solved after all.
You don't need to worry about it for now.
Let's set up the stables, cowsheds and sheep pens first.
If it suddenly snows, the cattle, sheep and horses will have nowhere to go."
It’s troublesome to avoid the wind and snow.”
Guo Ziyi said quickly: "Students understand, students will urge them to speed up the construction."
"Well, go ahead.
If you are short of wood, come and find me."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang's vicious reputation in Mobei was astonishing all over the world.
After seeing Zhang Shouyu and hearing his explanation of his purpose, the leader of Tongluo did not even dare to let out a fart.
He immediately sent people to follow Zhang Shouyu back to the Dule River, and also sent someone to send him away in a carriage.
A large amount of fodder was brought over to prepare Zhao Ziliang for emergencies.
The behavior of leader Tongluo gave Zhao Ziliang no excuse to send troops to attack him.
Just when Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers were building the Zhenbei City on the banks of the Dule River, and they were working in full swing, the tribal leaders such as Huihe, Geluolu and Basimi in Mobei were killed by the Qibi and Xi people.
After hearing the news, they were all frightened.
The Wei tribe of the West Palace in the east moved hundreds of miles eastward, not daring to get too close to the prairie occupied by Zhao Ziliang.
On November 19th, a messenger came from Yunzhou to Zhenbeicheng.
The messenger brought a letter written by Zheng San.
There were several pieces of news in the letter.
The first piece of news turned out to be that Xuanzong had consecrated Wei Zhaoxun’s daughter as his daughter.
After Princess Shou, Yang Yuhuan was canonized as Concubine Yang.
This news made Zhao Ziliang extremely helpless.
I said, thinking that maybe Yang Yuhuan finally fell in love with Li Longji and threw herself into his arms.
I am afraid this is the only possibility.
You must know that Yang Yuhuan is a woman with a full personality.
If she doesn't If she is willing, even if Li Longji uses the power of the emperor to suppress her, it will not work.
Yang Yuhuan's good cabbage was finally lost to pigs.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing while holding the letter.
The second news was a bolt from the blue.
The Tubo people actually made a comeback.
They crossed the Yak River with lightning speed to attack the city and captured the territory.

They secretly sent a cavalry to capture Shibao City again.
Zhao Ziliang was in Hexi two years ago.
He led the soldiers to fight Many battles were won, but it also made the Tang army in Hexi feel arrogant and careless.
The Tubo people seized the opportunity and carried out a sneak attack.
The tactics used this time were exactly the same as when Zhao Ziliang led his troops to attack the Tubo people.
This made everyone in the Tang Dynasty lose their eyes.
All over the place Because he lost nearly a thousand miles of land and the strategically important Shibao City, Liu Gong, the governor of Xihai County, was ordered to die by the angry Xuanzong.
Wang Jue, the governor of Hexi Province, was dismissed and investigated.
The post of governor of Xihai County was taken over by Ge Shuhan.
The post of Jiedushi was assigned to Shuofangjie Wang Zhongsi, the governor of Longyou, also serves as the governor, and the emperor has issued an order to let Ge Shuhan focus on defending Tibet in Hexi to prevent the Tibetans from continuing to expand their victory.
He also ordered Longyou Jiedushi Huangfu Weiming to cooperate sincerely with Wang Zhongsi to jointly deal with the Tibetans
