The Lord of Hemi City is the local emperor here.
He is used to being domineering and has all the women he wants.
However, his territory is too small and he can only dominate this area.
Zhao Ziliang's army Come on, although he has a lustful heart, he was so frightened after being threatened by Zhao Ziliang that he could only hold his lustful heart in his stomach and honestly prepare food and accommodation for Zhao Ziliang and others.
Originally, the city lord thought that there were only a few hundred cavalry around Zhao Ziliang.
If he put some medicine in the food, or mobilized troops from the city to attack Zhao Ziliang and others, the chance of success was actually very high.
But then he thought about it, outside the city Still stationed With thousands of fine cavalry of the Tang Army, this is an almost irresistible force.
Once Zhao Ziliang and Princess Hera have trouble in the city, you can imagine what the fine cavalry of the Tang Army outside the city will do next.
The walls of this Hemi City can be Unable to stop the army from attacking the city.
Thinking of this kind of consequence, the fat city lord was very depressed.
He had a lustful heart in his stomach, but he couldn't really take action because he really couldn't bear the consequences.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang and others went out of the city to join the army after breakfast, and immediately continued to move north.
The fat city lord could only watch Zhao Ziliang's army go away, feeling really regretful that he could not see the true face of Princess Hera. .
After that, Zhao Ziliang led his army all the way through Fuhe, Huolu City, and Tiwei City.
In addition to these large cities, there were more than a dozen small towns in between.
After crossing the Wuhu River, they arrived at Hengmi City.
The army rested in Hengbucheng and continued northward.
Soon they passed Tiemen Pass.
Walking two hundred miles from Tiemen Pass, they arrived at the Kingdom of Shi with the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
King Shi got the news and went out of the city to greet him from afar.
Zhao Ziliang and King Shi are old friends, and they fought together against the Fire-Spitting Khan.
King Shi enthusiastically held a banquet to entertain Zhao Ziliang and other officials and generals.
During the dinner, he asked about the situation of his niece Cao Yenaji in Chang'an.
When Shi Guo gave Cao Yenaji to Xuanzong as his concubine, it was Zhao Ziliang who escorted her. , the two had a relationship, and Zhao Ziliang often visited her during his stay in Chang'an.
Zhao Ziliang told King Shi that Cao Yenaji was living very well in Chang'an.
She had given birth to a daughter to the emperor, and the emperor named her Princess Shou'an.
King Shi was very happy after hearing this, and even praised Zhao Ziliang and the accompanying officials and generals repeatedly.
Toasted and quickly got drunk.
They did not stay in Shiguo for too long.
In the morning of the next day, the army set off back north.
When passing through Miguo, Kangguo, and Caoguo, they only replenished some supplies and did not stop.
It was not until they arrived in Shiguo that Zhao Ziliang opened the city in the capital of Shiguo.
After staying, the troops sent by the Anxi Protectorate to hand over were already waiting in Tuozhe City.
The leading general of the team was Li Siye.
When Zhao Ziliang transferred the city, Li Siye was only a captain of Zhaowu, and he was also marginalized.
It was Zhao Ziliang who promoted him, took him to Suiye Governor's Mansion, entrusted him with important tasks, and also gave him He was recommended to Gao Xianzhi, and now Li Siye is Gao Xianzhi's right-hand man and has been appointed as the Anxi military envoy and cavalry general.
Li Siye was very happy to see Zhao Ziliang and hurriedly came forward to pay homage: "Li Siye has met the general, please accept my respect."
Zhao Ziliang helped him up and said with a smile: "I can't afford it.
You and I have the same official position, so there is no need to be more polite."
Li Siye said hurriedly: "Then what would happen if the general hadn't promoted and promoted him?
Where would he be today?
And if it weren't for the traitorous ministers in the court who framed him, the general would have already been a feudal official.
How could he be comparable to us?"
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "I won't mention how long you have been here."
"After receiving the horse notification from the general half a month ago, General Gao sent the last general to lead the troops.

They arrived here three days ago."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Come, let's sit down and talk."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang asked someone to bring tea and invited Li Siye to drink tea.
While drinking, he asked: "General Gao went to Chang'an to meet the Holy Spirit.
When did he come back?"
Li Siye replied: "A month and a half ago."
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "We set out in the first month of this year and spent a month arriving at Jiling City.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess was trapped in Sehelan City by the rebels.
By the time we arrived, Sehelan City had already been breached. , His Highness and his entourage also fell into the hands of the Dashi rebels.
They finally led the rebels to fight outside the city, captured a group of people, and then exchanged the prisoners for His Highness and his entourage.
Finally, His Highness was not harmed. , we have escorted the Crown Princess here.
Even if our mission is completed, I will leave the escort mission to you in the future.
Although there are no enemies along the way, the road is not easy to walk, especially after Your Highness arrives in Datang.
I don’t know if it will be acclimated to the local environment.
You must communicate with Mr.
Du from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and leave the matters dealing with His Highness to him.
You should try not to come into contact with His Highness and her entourage."
Li Siye was quite puzzled after hearing the last sentence: "What the general means" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "I am doing it for your own good.
Just do what I say.
It will only do you good and no harm."
Li Siye didn't think much and agreed: "The general will understand in the end."
Zhao Ziliang looked outside and saw that the sky was getting dark, so he asked Liu Tiao who was sitting next to him: "What time is it now?"
“It’s past the application time”
Zhao Ziliang then said to Li Siye: "It's getting late, let's make a quick handover.
We will set off together tomorrow.
You will return to Anxi, and we will return to Beiting."
"good" Zhao Ziliang first took Li Siye to meet Du Chaoyang, introduced the two to each other, and then let them get to know each other.
Then he and Du Chaoyang came to see Princess Hera.
Princess Hera still behaved as usual in front of the outside, with nothing unusual.
Zhao Ziliang saluted and said: "Your Highness, when we get here, the mission of the general is completed.
From now on, General Li Siye will take over and escort him all the way to Chang'an.
Your Highness, I will return to Beiting to resume my duties.
Here, I would like to wish Your Highness and his entourage a safe journey.
General Li, please pay my respects to Your Highness soon."
Li Siye immediately saluted and said: "Li Siye, the Anxi military envoy and cavalry general, paid homage to His Highness.
From now on, General Mo will escort His Highness and his entourage to Chang'an to marry His Highness the Crown Prince."
After a pause, Li Siye heard Zhao Ziliang's words and said: "The safety of His Highness and his entourage will be taken care of by General Du, and the daily life issues will still be taken care of by Mr.
Du.
If Your Highness needs anything, please feel free to ask us.
We will do it when conditions permit."
We will try our best to meet His Highness’s requirements.”
"I know" the masked Princess Hera spat out three words.
This made Li Siye stunned.
The princess could speak Chinese, but he just muttered something in his heart, and immediately handed over to Princess Hera and said: "General, please retire first.
We will leave for Anxi early tomorrow morning.

Please be prepared, Your Highness." .
After coming out of the house where Princess Hera lived, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "General Li, are you surprised that His Highness can speak Chinese?"
Li Siye nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that a big cannibal could speak our Chinese.
It's incredible."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Before we received His Highness, she could not speak at that time.
She only chatted with the soldiers on the road.
In less than a month, she could have simple conversations.
It is said that Your Highness is proficient in six languages and can also use four.
If Her Highness were a scholar, her achievements would definitely be great, but she is a princess and now she has become a crown princess.
It is such a pity."
Li Siye was puzzled: "General, what's the pity?
Doesn't being a crown princess have a better future than being a scholar?
Besides, being a crown princess doesn't prevent her from becoming a scholar."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "You don't understand.
That's why I asked you to have as little contact with her as possible."
Li Siye was not stupid.
He vaguely guessed Zhao Ziliang's intention behind what he said.
He nodded and said, "I understand.
Thank you General for reminding me.
I will pay attention to it in the future."
Next, Zhao Ziliang and Du Chaoyang took Li Siye to count Princess Hera's dowry personnel and dowry items.
The three precious Damascus scimitars and hundreds of kilograms of wootz steel among the dowry items made Zhao Ziliang quite coveted, but He knew that these things could not be touched.
They were the dowry of the Crown Princess.
Anyone who touched these things would be unable to eat and carry them around.
No one in the Tang Dynasty had the courage to do such a thing.
After the handover was completed, Zhao Ziliang, Bai Xiaode, Pu Guhuaien, Li Sheng and others could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was evening.
Zhao Ziliang sent people to the livestock market in Tuozhe City to buy cattle and sheep, and also sent people to buy wine.
Then he asked the cooks to kill cattle and sheep and cook meat.
At night, Zhao Ziliang ordered to reward all the soldiers in the army.
Each soldier was given a pound of beef, a pound of mutton and a bowl of wine.
The soldiers gathered together with the meat and wine they received, eating meat, drinking and boxing.
In the camp So lively.
Zhao Ziliang only ate some meat and did not drink alcohol.
The one hundred soldiers and guards around him also only ate meat.
While the soldiers were eating and drinking, Zhao Ziliang led Bai Xiaode, Pugu Huai'en, Li Sheng and other generals in the Patrolling constantly inside and outside the camp, standing guard for the soldiers.
Afterwards, the soldiers were very moved when they learned about it, and they respected and supported Zhao Ziliang even more.
Zhao Ziliang's way of leading troops was also seen and remembered in the eyes and hearts of Bai Xiaode, Pugu Huai'en, Li Sheng and others.
In the future, they would fight alone When leading troops and serving as the commander of an army, they also learned and followed suit.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang got up and ordered the trumpets to be blown to assemble.
Although the soldiers had been drinking last night, it did not affect the speed of today's assembly.
The entire army was assembled quickly.
Zhao Ziliang ordered the dispersal after he nodded, and then the soldiers returned to their own We packed up our things and equipment in the camp and prepared to break camp and set off back to Beiting.
The soldiers of Li Siye's department in the camp next to them were already packing their things and getting ready to hit the road.
When Zhao Ziliang's soldiers packed up and saluted, Zhao Ziliang ordered the generals at all levels to report the number of roll calls.

He found that nothing was missing, and immediately ordered the entire army to set off back to Beiting.
The route followed the northern line of the Silk Road, first passing through Heng.
Luosi City, then follow the route of the towns of the Western Turks' Wunusibi tribe to the east, and then turn to the northeast after passing Suiye City.
The two armies set off almost at the same time.
Zhao Ziliang stood on the roadside on horseback and watched the army pass by.
At this time, Li Siye galloped over and stopped, cupping his hands and saying: "General, we say goodbye today.
I don't know when we will meet again."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "You will always meet me if you have the chance.
Why should a man care about mother-in-law?
By the way, do you know Li Fei Yuanli?"
Li Siye was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know him, but not very well.
Wasn't he sent to garrison in Kang State?
Why did the general ask about him?"
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "This time to welcome His Highness back, I passed by the state of Kang twice.
King Chuyue of Kang complained to me that Li Fei Yuanli asked for money from him and officials at all levels in the state of Kang, and also bullied male tyrants.
Female, you allowed the soldiers to disrupt order and stability in the city, and your behavior was very bad.
Later, I specifically approached Liu, your envoy from Anxi to Kang State.
Sir, I understand the situation.
Sir Liu may be afraid of offending Li Fei Yuan Li, so he hesitated in his words.
I think this matter is probably true.
This behavior of Li Fei Yuan Li seriously affected the development of the Tang Dynasty in the countries of the Western Regions.
If the image is not good, it will affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions.
I think it is necessary for your Anxi Protectorate to verify this matter."
Li Siye was stunned, "The general is really unaware of this matter.
When he returns to Qiuci Town this time, the general will definitely mention this to General Gao."
"In this case, I won't see General Li off.
We'll see you again tomorrow."
"Take care, general, and I will say goodbye":
