After capturing Mo Ying, Zhao Hu quickly sent people to report to Zhao Ziliang, and at the same time led people to search the entire city overnight.
Hengluosi City covers an area that is not large, only equivalent to a small town in later generations, and all the houses were searched before midnight.
After doing this, they rescued more than 2,000 Shiguo residents who were imprisoned by the cannibals and a dozen caravan members who stayed here and were too late to leave.
At dawn on August 23, the order in Hengluosi City had stabilized.
The rescued residents of Hengluosi City all went home to settle down after receiving a month's rations.
More than a dozen teams were trapped in the The caravans here were also placed in a larger abandoned house at this time, and all their goods and belongings were confiscated by the Big Eater. , most of these properties are now in the warehouse, but Zhao Hu was ordered by Zhao Ziliang to take good care of all the properties left by the cannibals, so these goods and properties cannot be returned to them easily.
These caravans have no goods and money.
Unable to return home, they could only continue to intercede with Zhao Hu, hoping that he would return the goods and belongings to them.
In the city lord's palace, Zhao Hu is arranging the soldiers to clean up.
Zhao Ziliang, the senior officials of the Tang Army and the leaders of various ministries will arrive soon.
The place must be cleaned cleanly and the objects must be neatly visited.
At this time, a soldier walked in and reported to Zhao Hu with fists in his arms: "Captain, the leaders of the dozen or so caravans are here again.
They want to see you."
Zhao Hu frowned and waved his hand: "Let them come in."
"promise" After a while, the soldier led a dozen people of all ages in various costumes and walked in.
These people saluted Zhao Ziliang in different languages and gestures: "I'll wait to see the general."
"Ahem!"
Zhao Hu pretended to be mature and put his hands behind his back, and said sternly to the caravan leaders: "What do you all have to do at the City Lord's Mansion?"
One of the Han caravan leaders raised his hands in salute and said: "General, we have been trapped here for nearly a month.
The cannibals have robbed our goods and belongings.
Now we are penniless, and each of our subordinates has a large number of people who are open to talk.
It’s really hard to survive if we have to eat.
Please have mercy on the general and give us back what the big eater has stolen from us.”
When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately straightened his face and said angrily: "I think you are an old fool.
Your goods and property were stolen by the cannibals.
You went to the cannibals to ask for them, but you ran away."
Come to me and ask for it.
It makes no sense that I owe you something and I have robbed you of it.
Come on, let me see you off."
The leader of the Han caravan hurriedly bowed and said: "No, no, no, general, calm down, it's the old boy who said the wrong thing, he deserves to be beaten, he deserves to be beaten."
As he said that, the leader of the Han caravan slapped himself several times in succession.
In the blink of an eye, his left and right cheeks were swollen.
It seemed that these two slaps were not gentle and he was very cruel to himself.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Hu felt less angry and looked better.
The old man added: "That's it.
The little old man and others found out that the big cannibal did not take away the property and goods that were snatched from us when he escaped.
So much goods and property should have been taken away by the general's subordinates.
The soldiers and generals have captured it, so I ask the general to help me at all costs and send someone to check it out.
If you can really find it and return it to us, we will definitely get a generous reward."
A dozen other caravan leaders also agreed in their hearts, saying that there would be generous rewards.
Zhao Hu has long been instructed by Zhao Ziliang to protect the seized property and materials.
How dare he return the seized things to these people easily?
Even if these people's goods and property are among the seized property and materials, he can't do it.
Lord, once Zhao Ziliang pursues the case afterwards, he will be left with nothing to eat.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

When Zhao Hu saw that all of these people were extremely respectful and smiling, he couldn't bear to look down on them, so he had to say: "This captain already knows about your affairs.
I don’t know where you got this news from.
Even I don’t know if your goods and materials are among the seized materials.
Property, how did others know about it?
However, our captain will definitely pay attention to your matter.
You will bring the list of lost goods and property, the customs clearance documents issued by the government and your own passports for registration.
Our captain will send someone to After completing the inventory and registration, you can go back.
If there is any news in a few days, our captain will send someone to notify you."
Zhao Hu's words made it difficult for these veterans to tell whether he was really fooling them or whether he was really planning to send people to investigate.
If he was just fooling them, there was no need for them to bring the cargo list, customs clearance documents, and passports.
To register, but they did not believe that Zhao Hu would return the goods and property to them so easily.
You must know that this is a large amount of money, and no one would be tempted.
Could it be that this young captain would really return the goods and property?
them However, Zhao Hu's words had already reached this point, and they could not push further, so one by one they took out the cargo list, customs clearance documents and passports and followed the soldiers next to them to register.
The caravan leaders sighed after coming out of the city lord's palace.
They were also unlucky.
They had just arrived in Hengluosi City a month ago.
Some of them came from Chang'an with goods and were preparing to ship goods to Dashi and Fufu. , some of them came from Dashi and Fulu with goods, preparing to go to Chang'an for sale.
But they were all besieged in the city by the sudden arrival of the Great Food Army on the same day, and they were imprisoned after the Great Food Army entered the city.
All their goods and belongings were confiscated by the Great Food Army, and now they have nothing on them.
With only a rich name, it is difficult to feed oneself, not to mention there are so many people under his command.
One of the big food merchants said: "Everyone, what should we do now?
We have no money, no food, and there are so many people to feed.
If we don't think of a way, not only will we not be able to go back, but we may also starve to death."
The old Han man who had just interacted with Zhao Hu said: "In my opinion, the captain just now couldn't make the decision on this matter.
Now, if we want to get out of the predicament, the only way is to directly contact the person who can make the decision."
I know that I am an old man traveling on this trade route.
I heard that the person leading the attack this time is General Zhao Ziliang, who reopened the northern Silk Road.
Why don't we go directly to General Zhao and ask him to make the decision?"
The big food merchant hesitated and said: "Is it possible?
We have so many caravans and so much property.
The total sum is not a small sum.
No one will be tempted after seeing it.
Will this person named Zhao be willing to return it to us?"
Another Han caravan leader said: "I have heard of General Zhao Ziliang.
He was very famous in the Tang Dynasty.
He was named Marquis of Zhenbei by the emperor.
For some reason, he was deprived of his title and was imprisoned." , almost died No, but, I heard that General Zhao was just and strict in running the army in the Western Regions.
When he was an official in Chang'an, he was upright and honest.
He never accepted gifts.
If the rumors are true, we should still have hope to get it back. goods and property”.
The old Han man said at this time: "No matter what, I have decided to go see General Zhao.
Where are you guys?"
Someone immediately said: "Since we want to go, let's go together.
Why don't we have strength in numbers?

Maybe General Zhao will pay attention to us when he sees so many people asking to see him."
"Opposite poles, opposite poles, let's go together" So these caravan leaders walked together to the Tang Army's barracks outside the city, preparing to go to the Tang Army's barracks to ask for Zhao Ziliang.
However, they did not know that as soon as they walked out of the east city gate, they saw a large group of soldiers and horses coming towards them, with flags and banners waving in front of them and harps and harps playing in unison.
When they approached the city gate, a group of cavalry flew towards them.
The people who came in and out of the city gate were so shocked that they hurriedly avoided it.
The soldiers of the Tang Army who were guarding the city gate also stood upright and did not look away.
This group of cavalry immediately stood guard at the city gate and along the way into the city.
There was one every few feet.
Soldiers stood on the street on war horses, and pedestrians, carriages and horses had to step aside.
After the large group of soldiers and horses came over, three knights came at the front.
The knight in the middle was holding the largest flag with a big "Zhao" embroidered on it.
Behind these three people was an extremely majestic figure.
The general is wearing a white shining armor, the red tassel on the helmet is constantly flying in the majestic wind.
Under the crotch is a pure black tall war horse, which is extremely steed.
There is a gold nail on the victory hook, hanging from the waist.
The sword.
Some of the caravan leaders who were driven to the roadside by the Tang Army's cavalry immediately recognized this person as the famous Zhao Ziliang.
They immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Look, that's General Zhao."
"Ah, he is General Zhao.
Let's go forward and ask for him.
Otherwise, when he enters the city, it will be difficult for us to enter the city again."
So a dozen people immediately passed through the gap between the Tang Army cavalry standing guard.
At this time, Zhao Hu and his men came out of the city to greet him.
When they came to Zhao Ziliang, they immediately raised their hands and said: "Uncle, everything in the city has been arranged properly, and the city lord's palace has been cleaned up."
"My nephew is late to greet me."
The dozen or so caravan leaders who were about to step out to block the road were shocked when they heard Zhao Hu's words.
They didn't expect that this captain was actually Zhao Ziliang's nephew.
Things had reached this point, and the merchants no longer cared much.
They gritted their teeth and rushed to the middle of the road to block the way of Zhao Ziliang and the army behind him.
The actions of these merchants shocked the surrounding Tang Army officers and soldiers, and they immediately surrounded these people with guns drawn.
The gleaming blades, spear points and arrows made these merchants tremble and sweat all over their bodies.
If they were not careful, they would I'm afraid it will be the end of death without a burial place.
"General Zhao, General Zhao, please make the decision for us, General," the businessmen knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Zhao Ziliang heard these sounds and waved Zhao Hu and others to step aside.
He rode forward and the Tang army soldiers surrounding the merchants immediately made way for Zhao Ziliang to pass.
Zhao Ziliang walked into the encirclement and reined in his horse.
He looked at the merchants for a while, and then a loud voice came out of his mouth: "Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?"
The old leader of the Han caravan quickly said: "General, we are caravan stewards who often walk on the northern Silk Road.
We rested here a month ago, but we didn't want to be besieged by the Japanese army.
After the city was defeated, the Japanese army The food army confiscated our goods and belongings and imprisoned us.
Now the general commanded the Chinese army and drove away the food people and rescued us.
We are very grateful.
The general is brave and we admire him.
But now we are penniless and it is really difficult to make ends meet.
We heard that the cannibals only took some food and water with them when they retreated.

Our confiscated goods and property should still be in the city.
It was captured by the general's subordinates.
I ask the general to return these goods and property to us.
We are willing to use part of it to express our gratitude to the general and his subordinates."
After hearing what the old man said, Zhao Ziliang scanned the merchants and found that there were several big cannibals and some Byzantines among them.
He was moved in his heart and said: "This general already knows about this, so be it, you can do whatever you want.
I, the general, will go to the city lord’s mansion and resolve this matter for you today.”
All the businessmen were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all kowtowed and thanked each other
