Under Zhao Ziliang's coercion, Manla had to send people back to Jiling City to prepare half a month's worth of food and grass for 3,000 people, 100,000 sharp arrows, and a large amount of kerosene for Zhao Ziliang.
These things were delivered to Zhao Ziliang that morning.
Tang army camp.
In view of the fact that the situation in Sehelan City may be in danger and Princess Hera is in danger, Zhao Ziliang decided to set out immediately in the afternoon and sent a reconnaissance to investigate the situation in Sehelan City.
He left one hundred of his own soldiers to guard Manla.
As long as Manla is in hand , the Tang army's retreat would not be cut off.
Manla also knew that Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to do so.
It was already very unjust for him not to lend troops to Zhao Ziliang.
If he continued to make trouble after Zhao Ziliang led his army, he would feel even more guilty, so he He was very cooperative and didn't cause trouble for Zhao Ziliang.
Around late afternoon, Zhao Ziliang led his troops to the southwest.
Sixty miles after leaving Jiling City, Manla, who was sitting on horseback, said: "General, the small river ten miles ahead is the border between Dashi Kingdom and Tochara."
At the junction of , across the river is the boundary of Dashi Country, General, please think twice."
"Hmph, things have come to this point.
You are cowardly to think twice."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and shouted to Li Sheng: "Immediately send someone to contact the scouts to find a place where they can cross the river."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang ordered his 100 personal followers to take Manla back and guard him closely to prevent any accidents.
The army continued to move forward, and the cavalry sent to contact the scout sentry soon returned and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the scout team left one person waiting for the army at a place where they can cross the river, and the rest We have already crossed the river and continue our reconnaissance to the southwest.”
"Very good."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Speed up the march and head to the crossing point."
When the army arrived at the crossing point, for the sake of safety, the whole army was divided into three parts to cross the river in sequence, with a thousand people crossing each time.
Everything was in an orderly manner, and no one was fighting for it.
Instead, they were humble to each other, so the speed of crossing the river was very fast.
The whole process of crossing the river only took half an hour, and all three echelons crossed the river.
It was already dusk after crossing the river.
In order to save time, Zhao Ziliang ordered the entire army to take care of all physiological needs on horseback.
All food, drink and diarrhea were taken care of during the march.
If there were no special stops to cook or rest, everything would be taken care of on horseback. .
After nightfall, in order to find the road signs left by the scouts and use them as a direction to move forward, Zhao Ziliang had to send someone to take charge of the matter at the front.
In order to hide the whereabouts of the marching army, he ordered that no one in the army should light a torch. .
At dawn, the army marched to the foot of a mountain, where the reconnaissance team was already waiting.
The captain of the reconnaissance team came to report to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the general has already explored within a radius of thirty miles.
This is According to the guide, the most suitable place for camping and hiding is Thirty miles to the southwest is the city of Seheran."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Well, rest here for two hours.
After two hours, we will set off to continue the march to Sehelan City."
"promise" After the army began to camp, Zhao Ziliang came to Bai Xiaode and said: "We still don't know the situation in Sehelan City.
It is only thirty miles away from Sehelan City, so I want you to take people to investigate in detail.
After a while, someone from the reconnaissance team has been there and is familiar with the route.
Ask them to send someone to follow them.
Once they find out the news, they will immediately send someone back to report."
Bai Xiaode cupped his hands and said: "No" After Bai Xiaode took the people away, it was already dawn after Zhao Ziliang inspected the camp.
He was also a little tired at this time.
He fell asleep after lying down.
He woke up on time two hours later.
After turning over, he immediately ordered the army to meet their physiological needs and get ready.
The soldiers sat on the ground, silently took out dry food and water bags, ate and drank.

After eating and drinking enough, they solved the problem of diarrhea and then returned to their original positions to wait for orders.
At noon, Bai Xiaode sent someone back, and the scouts who came back reported: "General, the city of Sehelan has been breached.
We have found out that Princess Hera and her party have all fallen into the hands of the rebels."
"What?"
Zhao Ziliang was shocked.
He originally thought that as long as Sehelan City was not breached, he would take the opportunity to raid the back of the black-clothed food army, causing them chaos and looking for an opportunity to inflict the greatest trauma on them, but he did not expect that Sehelan City would be attacked.
The defenders of Helan City did not last for three days before being breached.
Du Chaoyang, the official of the Ministry of Rites, also turned pale after hearing this.
The black-clothed food army had fifteen thousand men and occupied the city.
However, the Tang army only had three thousand men.
How could they snatch Princess Hera back from the enemy?
group of people Du Chaoyang murmured to himself: "It's over, it's over, now our mission can't be completed."
Zhao Ziliang had a stern look on his face, staring ahead.
For a long time, he said in a low voice: "Come here, please pass on the order, use my banner of the Tang Dynasty and the banner of my general, and march towards Sehelan City."
Du Chaoyang was so frightened that his body shook and he almost fell off his horse.
He calmed down and said hurriedly: "General, you must not do it.
The enemy is in danger of the city and has an absolutely superior force.
If we go like this, we will die soon, right?"
Withdraw your troops quickly and go back.”
Zhao Ziliang turned back and said coldly: "Do you think you'll be fine if you go back?
It's also a death, and a very useless death.
I would rather die on the battlefield than be taken to the execution ground and be killed at the neck.
Let's go."
These generals and soldiers were all brought out by Zhao Ziliang, and they only followed Zhao Ziliang's orders.
It didn't matter who Du Chaoyang was.
After Zhao Ziliang's order was issued, the army immediately raised the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty and the general flag of Zhao Ziliang in a swaggering manner.
Dang marched towards Sehelan City.
Sehelan City, the lobby of the city lord's mansion.
A middle-aged general with a pointed round helmet, a thin face, and a big beard is sitting on the city lord's seat.
There is a light of wisdom in this man's eyes.
He is the most powerful rebel in the Dashi Kingdom today.
Abu, one of the military leaders, was the most capable general under Abu Abbas, and was known as the king of Han Xin.
"Daoud, how many of those who broke out of the city the night before yesterday escaped alive?
Have you figured out the purpose of their breakout?"
Abu asked.
Daoud stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty General, we have figured out that the purpose of their breakout was to ask for help.
Three people broke out that night and went in two directions.
Two of them went to Luocheng in the southwest, and the other People are towards Going to Jiling City in the East, there are 15,000 defenders in Luocheng, and their strength is no less than ours.
However, my subordinates still don’t know why the other person wants to go to the east.
There are only 4,000 people in Jiling City.
Do they want to Four thousand people from Jiling City came for rescue."
This is when a tall general walked in with a joyful expression on his face and held the hilt of his sword, saluting Abu: "General, guess what I discovered.
Princess Hera, the youngest daughter of Marwan II, is actually in the city."
Abu looked moved and stood up involuntarily: "Ziyad, what you said is true."
"Yes, the general is definitely not wrong.

My subordinates have personally gone to see her.
At present, she and hundreds of her subordinates have been sent under separate supervision by subordinates.
There are actually a large number of rare treasures around her.
I have learned from her The people under my command inquired and found out that Princess Hera was married to the Tang Crown Prince as his concubine, and they were going to the Tang Kingdom to get married."
"There is such a thing."
Abi was moved again.
Ziad said: "It's absolutely true.
No one is in the mood to lie under the torture of his subordinates."
Suddenly an idea flashed through Abu's mind and he said: "No wonder some of the people who broke out of the encirclement went to the east.
It seems that the Tang State must have sent troops to welcome the bride and immediately sent out sentries to investigate the east.
If If you find that there are enemy troops coming towards Sehelan City, come back and report them quickly."
"As you command, Your Majesty General" Abu waved his hand and said to the others: "Let's go and see Princess Hera.
I have always heard that Princess Hera, the youngest daughter of Marwan II, is extremely beautiful, but I have never seen her.
Today I want to see what she is like."
What does it look like?”
Everyone left the city lord's palace and rode horses to a large independent courtyard, surrounded by high walls and with a dome-topped building standing inside.
This was a mosque where Ziad could imprison Princess Hera and her party.
It can be considered a very high standard of courtesy.
Abu and others walked into the mosque.
In addition to the guards, there were many royal maids and waiters busy in the temple, but everyone's faces showed panic and panic.
Arriving directly into the largest building in the temple, a woman with a graceful figure, despite wearing a large white women's robe and a silk scarf covering her face, stood with her back to the door in front of the mural and stared at it.
"Princess Hera, our general is here, why don't you come over and pay your respects?"
Daoud shouted to Princess Hera, who had no response.
This woman was Princess Hera.
She said without looking back: "How can a princess of the Umayyad Dynasty salute the rebels?"
Ziad said: "The princess is now a prisoner, and she still thinks she is a princess.
Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
At this time, Princess Hera turned around and said: "Even if you are a prisoner, the princess is still a princess.
This is not something you can change.
As a rebel general, what qualifications do you have to say such things to this princess?"
Abu waved his hand to signal others to stop talking.
Although Princess Hera was covered, her speaking eyes revealed her aura.
He stepped forward and saluted Princess Hera: "Your Highness, no Thinking that he will meet the princess here, Abu is very polite."
Princess Hera snorted coldly: "Abu, as a general of our Umayyad dynasty, why did you apostate and join Abu Abbas?
Do you think God will forgive you?"
"Your Highness, I have not apostatized.
I just think that the Shiite teachings are more suitable for the people.
The Umayyad dynasty has ruled the country of Dashi for more than a hundred years and has done nothing but squeeze the people.
This is not me.
The ideal country I want.
If Marwan II learns that the princess falls into my hands, I don’t know what he will do.”
After drinking, the princess laughed miserably: "Do you think my father will agree to any of your conditions?
Don't tell me that I am a married princess.
Even if I am not married, my father will not compromise with you for me."
Abu slapped his head: "Oh, I remembered.

Your Highness the Princess is already the Crown Princess of the Tang Kingdom.
The Tang Kingdom is too far away.
Don't you think it would be lonely to marry to the Tang Kingdom?"
"You don't need to worry about this."
"But now that the princess is in my hands, how can you go to Tang Kingdom?"
Princess Hera said angrily: "The Tang Kingdom will never give up, just wait and see":
