On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ziliang's two wives, three children, nephews Zhao Hu and Zheng San had not arrived yet, but Zhao Ziliang could no longer wait.
As many soldiers and horses as there are, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we have to break camp and set off to Beiting.
After inquiring about the news through various channels, he has learned that the Protector of the Beiting Protectorate and the Governor of the Beiting Camp, Lai Gui, are seriously ill and unable to serve as directors.
Military and political affairs are now handled by the assistant officers, but after all, the assistant officers are not If a chief official does not have the responsibility and courage to do things, he will inevitably be timid in doing things.
If many things are handled late or inappropriately, problems will arise.
This is why Lai Ji is anxious for the court to send someone to replace him as soon as possible.
However, the older generation of generals who have prestige in the army are all dead and paralyzed.
The younger generation have not grown up yet, and their prestige and qualifications are slightly insufficient.
This is why Xuanzong asked Lai Gui to take the lead no matter what.
The reason for being a top player for a while is because there is no one available for him.
In fact, with Zhao Ziliang's qualifications and military exploits, he can directly take up the posts of Protector of the Beiting Protectorate and Beiting Xingying Jiedushi.
However, Xuanzong just dismissed him from his post because he destroyed Huihe and Dongge Luolu in Mobei. , he can't slap himself in the face and then take office immediately Zhao Ziliang was ordered to be the Protector of Beiting.
It happened that the Xige Luolu people raided Xilin Guards, and all the guards and the following generals were killed.
He then demoted Zhao Ziliang to Xilin Guards and established a foothold there first.
Stabilize the situation and then let him take over to guard Beiting.
In the early morning, after breakfast, the army broke out of camp and set off.
The desolate and long-lasting sound of horns spread out more than ten miles away.
The entire Chang'an City heard the sound.
The people around Chang'an City knew that the Zhao army was about to break up camp and set off for Beiting. .
There are more than 7,200 recruits in this batch.
The earliest ones have been drilled for a month, and the latest ones have only been drilled for one day.
However, both the first and last ones have learned to walk in unison, stand at attention, and After standing still and running, although most of the people's postures on the march were incorrect and the formations were scattered and crooked, they finally looked presentable.
Before breaking camp and setting off, Zhao Ziliang had already made arrangements and plans: in the first ten days of the march, they would march sixty miles a day.
This was the normal daily marching speed of the Tang Army.
According to the plan, it must be completed before twelve noon, which is It is said that we must set out at five o'clock every day and complete a thirty-kilometer march in seven hours.
As long as the command is proper and there is no delay when gathering and moving out of camp and during the journey, all the walking can be achieved.
You can only stop and rest for an hour at most; after eating After lunch, rest for an hour and sit in place by The instructors led the team to conduct drills until dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, which meant that they marched at the fastest speed for half a day in the morning and trained in the rest area in the afternoon.
In the field, conditions were limited and many events could not be carried out, so they could only train. some of the most basic subjects; the instructors are served by Zhao Ziliang's retinues.
Each retinue is responsible for the training and life matters of thirty recruits.
Currently, there are no officers in each team.
After all training tasks are completed and the standards are met, a military competition will be held to select junior officers. .
From the 11th to the 20th day of the march, the army must march seventy miles every day.
It still breaks camp at five o'clock every day, stops for rest and food at twelve o'clock, and takes an hour's rest in the middle.
It adopts a combination of walking and trotting.
The new soldiers had to adapt to the marching method for ten days.
With a slight increase in intensity, it should be possible as long as there is enough food and water.
After the march speed increases, the instructors will need to be responsible for appeasing and motivating morale.
Zhao Ziliang is not worried about this.
He believes that each of his followers can control their hands well.
Thirty recruit eggs underground.
From the 21st to the 30th day of the march, the army must march eighty miles a day, increasing the speed of walking and trotting.
In the plains, this marching speed is not a problem at all.
Now other armies of the Tang Army, the infantry marching speed The fastest can reach 120 miles per day, of course this is elite infantry.
From then on, the march was increased by ten miles every ten days, reducing walking time and increasing running time, and completed the planned training volume without reducing the training time for other subjects as much as possible.
There are not only infantry in the army, but also two thousand cavalry.

Now these two thousand cavalry cannot be called real cavalry, they can only be people who can ride horses.
The task of the cavalry during the march is to practice riding well under the guidance of the instructors.
It is not enough to be able to ride a horse.
You also need to be able to control the horse.
You need to practice your riding skills more consummately.
You need to master the horsemanship.
You need to practice several combat movements on horseback and practice how to draw a bow.
Because we are on the march, we cannot When practicing riding and shooting, only after stopping to rest can you set up the target and practice riding and shooting.
The marching and training plans arranged by Zhao Ziliang are neither large nor urgent.
However, such a large amount of training and marching speed are not added up all at once, but a step-by-step process.
The recruits can definitely Get used to it.
The distance from Chang'an to Tingzhou, the seat of the Beiting Protectorate, was five thousand miles in later generations' measurement units.
It usually took two months for the Tang army to arrive on the march, but Zhao Ziliang not only had to complete basic training for this recruit during the march, but also In the shortest possible time, this new army must be reborn.
At the very least, the daily marching speed must exceed 120 miles.
Even in the desert, the daily marching speed must exceed 90 miles.
The marching route to Beiting was still the same as the marching route to Anxi.
After arriving in Lanzhou, we took the Hexi Corridor.
At first, the recruits were a little overwhelmed by the daily marching speed and the amount of training.
They had to get up early to march and train in the afternoon. until dark , this kind of exercise is not something ordinary people can bear, but this time Zhao Ziliang recruited strong men over the age of 16 and under 40.
These recruits did not have any hair on their bodies, so they could not bear it for the first ten days, but after I got over it after half a month.
That day, Xuanzong thought that Zhao Ziliang was going to Beiting with more than 7,000 recruits who had not undergone any training, so he felt uneasy, so he called Gao Lishi and asked, "Where are Zhao Ziliang and his 7,000 recruits now?"
How did Gao Lishi know about it, so he asked someone to inquire, and the news soon spread.
After learning the news, Gao Lishi reported to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, there is news that Zhao Ziliang's troops arrived in Lanzhou three days ago, and it is said that that The farmers have completely changed and don’t look like farmers at all.”
Xuanzong did the math and couldn't help but gasped: "It's only been half a month, and he has led the group of farmers for 1,700 miles in ancient times, which is roughly equivalent to 1,300 miles in later generations.
What did he do?"
Arrived” Gao Lishi smiled bitterly and said: "The old slave is stupid, I really can't figure out how he did it.
Even if Li Jing is reincarnated, I'm afraid he won't be able to lead a group of farmers to walk 1,700 miles in half a month."
This is just a group of new recruits.
If Zhao Ziliang trains these farmers into an elite army, they may not be able to march three hundred miles every day.
This number almost made Xuanzong's jaw drop.
At this time, he thought of Yang Yuhuan's words, and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Feelings arise spontaneously Now that Wang Zhongsi was fighting against the Tubo people in Shanzhou, Zhao Ziliang could not see him.
This made Zhao Ziliang feel very regretful.
This famous Tang Dynasty general who had always made him curious and admired had never had the chance to meet him.
He was a contemporary of Wang Zhongsi.
In addition, the equally famous Huangfu Weiming, Fumeng Lingcha, etc.
He had met and got to know them all, and had established a deep friendship with them.
However, he always missed Wang Zhongsi.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhongsi had the most power as a border general.
He wore the four jiedu As a result, there was no one else in the Tang Dynasty except Wang Zhongsi.
Zhao Ziliang led his army to rest for a day outside Lanzhou City, and his family members happened to catch up with them, including Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang, their eldest son Zhao Lei, their youngest son Zhao Ting, their daughter Zhao Xue, and their nephews Zhao Hu, Zheng San and Nu Everyone was here, and the family was very happy after getting together.
The army rested for another day before setting off, and the logistics were handed over to Zheng San.
On the sixth day of February, Zhao Ziliang, along with his family and army, passed through Liangzhou City and met Li Guangbi and An Sishun.
Li Guangbi was now the Hexi Army Envoy and Chishui Army Envoy, and An Sishun was the Dadou Army Envoy.
Both of them were in the second year of Kaiyuan.

He was his disciple in the martial arts examination in 19 years, but he did not conduct any examination on these two people.
He had been specially promoted, but when these two people were assigned to Shuofang, he had written to Wang Zhongsi to recommend them.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongsi was so generous and took the two of them with him, and one of them was promoted to Hexi The envoy of soldiers and horses was also the envoy of Chishui army, and the other one was promoted to the envoy of Da Dou army.
Among An Sishun and Li Guangbi, Li Guangbi was the most valued by Wang Zhongsi, followed by Ge Shuhan, An Sishun, and Wang Sili.
The ancients had several etiquettes, especially for wealthy families.
The higher the status, the more important etiquette.
Li Guangbi was obviously this kind of person.
When Zhao Ziliang led the army to Liangzhou, he and An Sishun and Wang Sili, who had come from the Dadou Army station after receiving the news, Waiting for others to catch cold Hundreds of state civil and military officials came out of the city ten miles to greet them.
You must know that although Zhao Ziliang's military rank is now a loyal military general, his official position is just a guard.
Their official positions are several levels higher than him, but who makes Zhao Ziliang a teacher and they are his disciples?
Woolen cloth Li Guangbi and others said that when they learned that Zhao Ziliang was dismissed from all his posts and went to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit, they, the students, signed a letter to plead for mercy.
However, they gave up the idea after receiving an urgent letter from Zhang Shouyu.
Zhao Ziliang was right in saying that you did not jointly submit a letter.
If you did, I am afraid that not only would it have no effect, but it would make the emperor even more suspicious.
Zhao Ziliang only stayed in Liangzhou for one day, then led the army to continue marching westward, and soon arrived at Guazhou.
This time, he walked through the desert and became familiar with the roads and environment.
The marching speed was much faster than before, and he also avoided the 800-mile Mohe.
The quicksand river and sandstorm in the moraine.
On February 28th, Zhao Ziliang arrived in Tingzhou with his family and army, and saw Lai Gui, who was seriously ill at the Beiting Protectorate in Tingzhou.
Lai Gui's condition was indeed serious, but he would not die for a while because he had contracted the disease.
It was hemiplegia caused by a stroke, which was caused by drinking.
Zhao Ziliang probably had severe high blood pressure.
After Zhao Ziliang read it, he reported to the Beiting Protectorate that he had temporarily borrowed a thousand elite cavalry from Lai Zhi to protect the Xilin Guards and the 7,000 recruits.
The training of these recruits has not yet been completed, although The marching speed can reach 180 miles per day, and many combat actions have been completed.
However, neither the infantry nor the cavalry have conducted coordinated combat training on tactics and square formations.
Therefore, if this army wants to exert its combat effectiveness, it must It may take several months or even half a year.
Although Lai Gu was paralyzed and could not speak clearly and clearly, his mind was still relatively clear.
He understood Zhao Ziliang's situation and signaled his subordinates to transfer a cavalry battalion from the Tianshan Army for Zhao Ziliang to take away and return it six months later
