It took the army two days to return to Jiling City.
The one hundred personal guards left by Zhao Ziliang took good care of Manla, the lord of Jiling City, and the soldiers and horses of Jiling City did not act rashly.
After settling the army, Zhao Ziliang came to Du Chaoyang and said: "Master Du, you are an official of the Ministry of Rites.
You have full authority to arrange the settlement and living issues of the Crown Princess and her dowry.
If you need food or other supplies, you can contact us."
Mr.
Liu Tiao will solve it.
If there is something that Mr.
Liu can't solve, you can come to me."
At this point, Zhao Ziliang paused and then said: "The Crown Princess and her dowry are all cannibals.
Due to their religious beliefs, they may have some special taboos in life, especially in terms of diet.
You must We need to discuss with them more; another point is that they are far away from their homeland and may not feel it in a short period of time.
As time goes by, you may feel homesick, or you may become acclimatized and get sick.
You also need to find a way in this regard, especially the problem of acclimatization.
Many people die in a foreign land after they stay away from home because of acclimatization.
This cannot be ignored.
It attracts our attention.
If something goes wrong, it’s a small matter for us to be held accountable, but it’s a big deal for human lives.”
Zhao Ziliang's words made Du Chaoyang quite impressed.
Before, he thought that Zhao Ziliang was a rare general in the military, but he didn't expect that this person was so thoughtful.
A good general can make exquisite arrangements in battle.
Du Chaoyang suppressed the surprise in his heart and said to Zhao Ziliang: "The general can consider this aspect, which really makes me admire the general.
Don't worry, I will arrange these matters properly.
If there are any problems, I will contact Liu at any time."
Sir, discuss with the general."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "That's good.
I'll leave these matters to Master Du."
After arranging this matter, Zhao Ziliang brought several subordinate generals and soldiers to the camp where Manla was guarded.
His soldiers did not abuse Manla during this period.
The supervision was quite strict, but he had no worries about food and clothing, and was still able to There were fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, and Manla was quite honest, with nothing unusual.
Walking to the door of the camp guarding Manla, the soldiers guarding the camp had long heard that Zhao Ziliang led an army to snatch Princess Hera back, and they were very excited.
The admiration and admiration in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Ziliang became even more intense. strong.
The "general"'s personal followers all knelt down excitedly.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Everyone, get up.
We are not outsiders.
Why do you need to open the door with such a big gift?
I want to go in and see Lord Manla."
"Yes, General" The wooden door was opened and Zhao Ziliang walked in.
When he saw Raman getting up from the blanket, he smiled and said, "City Lord Manla, how are you doing these days?"
Manla was still a little unhappy.
He snorted coldly: "If I lock you up for ten days and a half, let's see if you will live well."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked: "Chief Manla, there is a question I really want to know.
These days, haven't you ever thought about escaping and bringing troops to level my camp and block my way back east?"
Manla snorted: "Your Majesty General, do you think I'm stupid?
All the soldiers under your command are like wolves and tigers.

Do I dare to act rashly before you and the rebels decide the outcome?"
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and nodded and said: "Yes, it can be seen that Chief Manla is a very cautious person.
There is also a question.
If I lose and escape back to Jiling City with the remaining defeated soldiers, will Chief Manla?
They will detain us and hand us over to the food rebels."
When Manla heard this, he jumped up and shouted like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Your Majesty General, who do you think I am, Manla?
Do you think I am a despicable person who betrayed his friends?"
Zhao Ziliang was not angry, and had no expression on his face.
He stared at Manla with his eyes, trying to see other things from his expression and eyes.
This look made Manla feel anxious, fearing that Zhao Ziliang would misunderstand him.
After a long time, Zhao Ziliang finally showed a smile on his face and said: "Don't get me wrong, Chief Manla, I didn't mean it like that.
I have wronged Chief Manla these days, and I would like to express my apology here.
In addition, I have to thank the leader for letting us be here."
Settlement here.
Chief Manla can go back.
Tomorrow I will go to the city lord’s mansion to thank the visitor and send Chief Manla back to the city.”
"Yes, General" Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and said, "Chief Manla, please" Manla followed the example of the Han people, bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang, turned around and walked out of the camp.
Zhao Ziliang walked out and looked at Manla's back as he walked out of the camp.
Zhao Ziliang turned around and walked towards his tent.
As he walked, he ordered the guards around him: "Go tell the generals of each battalion to settle down the soldiers and come after dinner."
I will also inform the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette to discuss matters in my big account and invite the Crown Princess to come as well."
"promise"
After the soldiers in the camp had dinner, each battalion arranged patrol tasks.
The generals rushed to Zhao Ziliang's Chinese army tent one after another.
Finally, the Crown Princess Hera also came with her two maids.
When Zhao Ziliang saw Princess Hera walking into the camp, he stood up and bowed forward, bowing his hands and saying, "Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Princess."
The generals and officials also clasped their fists and bent down to salute behind Zhao Ziliang.
Princess Hera nodded expressionlessly and said a few gibberish words.
After hearing the translation, Zhao Ziliang waved sideways.
The generals and officials behind him They all returned to their original positions.
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
Princess Hera shook her head and said a few words that were unintelligible.
The official in charge of the translation said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said that this is a military camp, and the army is outside.
The general is in charge of everything.
Just find a place for her to sit down."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and did not force it.
He ordered someone to bring a stool with a clean cloth and put it under his head.
He asked Princess Hera to sit down.
This time Princess Hera did not delay any more.
When Zhao Ziliang saw Princess Hera sitting down, he also walked to the main seat and sat down.
Then he looked at the civil servants and military generals on both sides and said: "We have now left the territory of the Dashi Kingdom.
This is the territory of Tochara.
Relatively speaking, It is said to be safer, but Tochara is also now It is a fragmented situation.
Each tribe operates independently, does not rule each other, and often attacks each other.
Therefore, we are not necessarily safe on the way back to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, you must be more careful on the way forward. , don’t be careless” Everyone clasped their fists together and said: "Yes, General" "That's the first thing" Zhao Ziliang continued: "Now let's talk about the second thing.
I plan to let the army rest here for a day tomorrow, replenish some food, grass and other supplies, and set off the day after tomorrow.
I don't know if you think one day's rest is enough.
If you have any questions, you can ask them now. come out" All the generals shook their heads and said that there was no problem.
Soldiers are like this and never drag their feet.
Moreover, it was Zhao Ziliang who said it.
They had no special reason and generally would not raise objections.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Liu Tiao, who was in charge of marching and logistics, and Du Chaoyang, an official from the Ministry of Rites, and others.
They all shook their heads and said that there was no problem.
All the supplies that needed to be replenished should be replenished tomorrow.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Princess Hera again and asked: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, do you have anything to say or do you have any requests or suggestions?"
After listening to the translation, Princess Hera thought for a while and said: "The rest is entirely up to the general's decision, but I want to change to a carriage.
The carriage I took when I came out of Damascus was damaged by the rebels when I was besieged in the city of Seheran.
"The carriage we are riding in was temporarily found by Bingbo Xilin.
It is too old and very uncomfortable to sit in.
My bones are about to fall apart from sitting in the past two days."
After Zhao Ziliang heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will handle this matter."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ziliang said to Du Chaoyang: "Master Du, you will go to Jiling City overnight in my name to find the leader of Manla to see if he has a suitable carriage.
If he doesn't ask the craftsmen to build it overnight, the money It’s not a problem.
I must see a luxurious carriage for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to ride in the morning after tomorrow.”
Du Chaoyang agreed: "Okay, General" Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Now let's talk about the third thing, which is about the return route.
Should we return originally or take another route?
This general has thought about this matter for the past two days and asked Pass the guide and follow the Farah River from here.
Go straight to the northeast.
There is a road that can directly reach Luolan City.
The distance is much shorter.
There is no need to pass through Hesina City and Huwen City.
Or, instead of going to Luolan City, follow the Fara River and turn north when it is about to reach its source.
Directly inserted into the former Qisha Prefecture Governor's Office to protect the time key city."
The generals and officials were a little worried.
Du Chaoyang said: "General, after all, we have never walked this road you mentioned.
I think we should return the same way.
Although the distance is longer, it is better to be safe."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "In terms of safety, returning along the original road is not necessarily safer than taking another road.
If someone wants to do us harm, they may wait for us on the original road, because we have always If we are accustomed to our own thinking, our habits can easily be used by bad people to deal with us.
In order to avoid committing this This is a mistake.
We must change our normal practices.
If the other party does not know our marching route and time, they will not be able to intercept and ambush us on the road.
In addition, another advantage of taking this route is that we can pass through western Tochara along the way.
The territory of most of the tribes allows us to understand their customs and customs."
Princess Hera didn't care.
She didn't know much about this kind of thing, so she couldn't intervene.
Others saw that Zhao Ziliang had already made up his mind, so they didn't object anymore, so the marching route and departure time were decided
