After Zhao Ziliang received a lot of filial piety and benefits from the Tocharian chiefs in Bushi City, he went on a large-scale purchase of grain and grass in the local market.
It took him more than ten days to finally provide the grain and grass needed by the leaders of the ten surnamed tribes.
The collection is complete, so He distributed all the grain and grass that the tribal leaders should be allocated to them, and they brought it back by themselves, which also saved himself and the Tang army a lot of trouble.
The tribal leaders of the ten surnames happily accepted their share of grain and grass, and brought it back to them themselves.
Prepare for carriage shipment.
After staying in Bushi City for half a month, Zhao Ziliang bid farewell to the various Tocharian chiefs and led his army back.
On October 19th, after nearly a month of long journey, Zhao Ziliang and his troops returned to Hengluosi City and handed the city back to the State of Shi, who sent troops to take over the city defense.
At the same time, Zhao Ziliang ordered to continue Depend on Chu Ge led three thousand troops to station in Hengluosi City to maintain the military deterrence of the Tang army in this area.
Chu Ge's performance in this battle was remarkable and he contributed a lot.
However, he had lost the city and lost the land before, so the merits and demerits were balanced. , no longer pursue.
At this point, the Tang Dynasty's war against Da Shi was temporarily over.
During this period, the internal strife in Da Shi's country and the uprisings of the slave people in various regions intensified.
Da Shi in white had no time to take care of the outside world and could only watch the Zhaowu kingdoms and Tu Tu.
The forces in Huoluo and other regions were recaptured by the Tang Dynasty and were unable to do anything.
After receiving the benefits he deserved, King Asilan of Bukhanna led his troops back first, while Zhao Ziliang led the soldiers and horses of the ten tribes to leave Hengluosi City and return eastward.
Along the way, each troop's soldiers and horses brought their own share of grain and grass. one after another Three returned to their own territory, while the Tang army led by Zhao Ziliang only carried hundreds of carts of gold and silver.
These gold and silver were packed and sealed.
Originally, there were a large number of trophies and large quantities of materials seized in Tuozhe City. weapons Armor, bows and arrows, and jewelry and jade, but Zhao Ziliang sold all the jewelry and jade in the Zhaowu Kingdom and Tochara, and replaced them with gold and silver, which was easier to carry.
Only the iron parts of the weapons, armor, bows and arrows were left, and the others were useless to the Tang army.
He used them, sold them all, and harvested a large amount of gold and silver.
Zhao Ziliang led his army to return with only a large amount of gold, silver and iron tools.
These iron tools could be re-melted into weapons and armor that matched the shape and design of the Tang army.
In early October, Zhao Ziliang led more than 4,000 people and escorted nearly 6,000 Dashi prisoners back to Xilin to guard the capture.
Gao Shi took some officials from the Shouchuo Mansion out of the city to greet them.
There were 5,000 people at the time of the expedition, but only more than 4,000 came back.
More than 400 people were killed in the battle, and more than 500 people were injured or disabled.
Let the army return to the military camp to rest, take care of the prisoners, arrange work for the prisoners, let the prisoners exchange labor for food, promote military positions, ranks, and distribute rewards to the soldiers according to their merits.
By the time all these things are completed, it is already mid-October. , Zhao Ziliang had to have a good rest for a few days, take time to spend time with his wife and children, and at the same time sent people back to his hometown to pick up Zhao Hu's parents, and also began to arrange the marriage of Zhao Hu and his brother Shu Luoyan.
On October 18th, Zhao Ziliang rarely had fun with his three children and took them to play in the wild.
All three children had learned to ride horses.
The eldest Zhao Lei was only eight years old, while the second child Zhao Xue and the third child Zhao Ting were only seven years old.
But they have all learned quite good riding skills and are able to gallop freely.
Zhao Ziliang and his three children went hunting on a grassland.
Within two hours, they were quite productive.
They shot an antelope, two wolves and six hares.
Some of the retinues were scattered around on horseback to protect and warn them.
At this time, Wang Can and several people galloped towards the town on horseback.
Zhao Ziliang turned around and saw it, and said to the three children: "You can play by yourself for a while and see how much you can each gain, but don't go too far."
"Yes, father."
The three children happily agreed and then rode off to look for their prey.
Wang Can rode his horse over and cupped his hands and said: "General, there are news from Chang'an and Anxi respectively."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "What's going on?"
"After Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, An Sishun and others wrote letters to plead for mercy, the Holy Emperor's anger subsided a little, but he still demoted General Wang Zhongsi to Hanyang Prefect, and finally saved his life."
Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan and An Sishun were all rookies in the frontier army who had risen in recent years.
They had outstanding military exploits and Xuanzong liked them very much.

Therefore, after these people begged for mercy, Xuanzong gave them some face, especially Ge.
Shu Han wrote a letter saying that he was willing to use his official position to atone for Wang Zhongsi's sins.
Xuanzong also felt that Ge Shuhan was a man who valued affection and righteousness, and he was also a general.
Xuanzong not only did not fear him, but also admired his straightforwardness. .
When Zhao Ziliang heard the result, not only was he not relieved, the look on his face became even more worried.
Wang Can couldn't help but wonder when he saw this: "General Wang Zhongsi is not in fear of his life.
The general should be happy.
Why should he be more worried?
Is there something else that could happen?"
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at the far end of the grassland and sighed: "General Wang is a famous general and great soldier who is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the court, and the emperor.
However, people like him are the ones he trusts the most, and who he relies on and is loyal to.
What do you think he would think about misunderstanding, fear and persecution?”
Wang Can looked sad.
He thought for a moment and said, "I think General Wang Zhongsi must be very disappointed and very painful."
"Far more than that."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "He was misunderstood, feared and persecuted by the people he was loyal to, which caused the spiritual world of his faith to collapse.
Even if he was just demoted to the prefect of Hanyang, I believe in his heart He is already dead.
How long can a person with a dead heart survive?
General Wang has not been defeated in these years.
Who in the world can defeat him?
He was defeated by himself."
"Hey" Wang Can also sighed.
Zhao Ziliang said: "After a while, the Shouchuo Prefecture will send officials back to the mainland to recruit soldiers and villagers.
When I go back, I will write a letter.
You can take the letter and give it to the official in charge of this matter, and ask him to stop by Hanyang to meet him when he returns.
General Wang, send me my greetings and hand the letter to him in person."
Wang Can promised: "Promise" After meeting Wang Zhongsi, the officials who returned to the mainland to recruit soldiers and villagers presented Zhao Ziliang's letter and relayed what Zhao Ziliang said about Wang Zhongsi that day.
Wang Zhongsi was greatly moved after hearing this, and told those around him that there was only Zhao Ziliang in the world.
Understand him and be his confidant.
This is a topic for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Zhao Ziliang calmed down and asked: "What news has come from Anxi?"
Wang Can said: "In September, General Gao Xianzhi returned triumphantly and sent the envoy Wang Ting to win the victory at the imperial court without informing the Jiedu envoy General Fu Meng.
General Fu Meng thought that General Gao was relying on his military merits and did not take him seriously.
Therefore, when General Gao led his army back, General Fumeng Instead of sending anyone to express condolences, the army called General Gao to scold him.
General Gao could only let him curse.
General Gao was from Korea and didn't know much about officialdom, so he ignored General Fumeng's feelings.
General Fu Meng may have been instigated by his subordinates to become angry with General Gao.
There was a rift, which was originally just a misunderstanding.
The envoy Bian Lingcheng had always been at odds with General Fumeng, so he secretly wrote a letter to report the matter to the emperor, saying that if a person like General Gao Xianzhi who had made great contributions would not only be denied Instead of being promoted and rewarded, you will suffer humiliation.
That day Who else will be loyal to the court in the future?
The emperor listened to Bian Lingcheng's slander and thought that General Fumeng had gone too far in this matter, so he issued an edict to transfer General Fumeng to the capital, and appointed General Gao Xianzhi as Honglu.
Qing and Censor Zhongcheng took over the charge of Deputy Protector of Anxi and Jiedu Envoy of the Four Towns."
Zhao Ziliang's face turned livid after hearing this, "You are right, this must be just a misunderstanding, but because Bian Lingcheng, an eunuch, acted as a troublemaker in the middle, it led to the current situation.
It is really hateful.
If I get the chance, , I will cut this damn eunuch into pieces with a thousand swords.

General Fumeng is now setting off for the capital, which route will he take without him?"
Wang Can said: "The news has just arrived.
General Fumeng should have almost set off on his journey.
In this season, General Fumeng should take the route from Xizhou, Yizhou, and then to Guazhou.
The general wants to" Zhao Ziliang sighed and said: "I haven't seen General Fumeng for many years.
Now that the general is gone, I don't know when I can see him again.
Wang Can, go and prepare.
I will go to Gaochang to wait for General Fumeng and see him off."
He's a ride" "promise" Zhao Ziliang immediately sent someone to retrieve the three children and quickly returned to Shouzhuofu.
On the same day, he led dozens of retinues to rush towards Gaochang.
After staying awake for three days and three nights, Zhao Ziliang finally arrived in Gaochang on October 21.
After inquiring, he found out that Fumeng Lingjin and his party had not arrived in Gaochang yet, so he took his soldiers and followers to live in Gaochang.
Two days later, on October 23rd, husband Meng Lingjin, who was transferred to the capital by imperial edict, came to Gaochang with his family and personal guards.
Zhao Ziliang immediately went to meet him after receiving the news.
Meng Lingqin and Zhao Ziliang, who were once superiors and subordinates but also better than confidants, finally met again after several years apart.
As soon as the two met, Zhao Ziliang became more mature and steady, while her husband Meng Lingjin was also older.
He looked a little decadent because of his rift with Gao Xianzhi and was transferred away by Xuanzong.
Both of his temples were gray, and the two of them suddenly sighed.
What a change. , Things are different and people are different.
Outside Gaochang City, there were only two figures in military uniforms on the endless wilderness.
The two did not speak for a long time.
Finally, Zhao Ziliang broke the silence and sighed: "General, this time, Gao Xianzhi is a Korean.
He doesn't understand me."
According to the rules of Tang officialdom, if you ignore the general and report victory to the court, you cannot blame him entirely.
This was just a misunderstanding, but it led to the current situation.
It is really sad."
Fumeng Lingjing shook his head and sighed: "I am also a soft-eared person.
I was instigated by Chen Fengzhong and others, so I scolded Gao Xianzhi in a fit of anger.
When I thought about it afterwards, I realized that I regretted that the matter had come to this, and it would be useless to say more." , now that I am leaving, Dugujun, Liu Tiao and others can no longer continue their work.
They plan to follow me.
Let’s go to the capital together, but the water in the capital is very deep.
Who knows what my situation will be like in the capital.
They are all talented people.
I want them to follow you.
You are still young.
Although you are now demoted to Xilin to guard you, But I believe you will get better soon.
It’s not a good idea for them to follow you.
What do you think?”
Zhao Ziliang said: "I have always admired these two adults very much.
I can only ask for their help.
I am just afraid of wronging them."
"It doesn't matter, I'll go tell them" Fumeng Lingjin talked with Liu and Dugu for a while, and then they agreed to stay and follow Zhao Ziliang, and their family members also stayed together.
The next day, Zhao Ziliang, Liu Tiao, Dugujun and others reluctantly bid farewell to her husband Meng Lingqi, and then everyone mounted their horses and returned to Xilin to guard the capture
