In the morning, Zhao Ziliang and Li Siye set off for Huoxun Kingdom with 200 personal retinues.
The two ladies took the children to the city gate to see them off.
After some comfort and exhortations, Zhao Ziliang turned around, mounted his horse and left with his personal retinues. , heading west along the Northern Silk Road.
When a young man standing not far from the city gate saw Zhao Ziliang and his group disappearing from sight, he immediately waved his hand behind him.
Several knights in servant clothes quickly chased them out of the city gate on horseback, following Zhao Ziliang and his group. chased after him.
The young man who was monitoring Zhao Ziliang and his party saw the few knights he sent disappearing outside the city.
He immediately turned around and walked into the city.
After a while, he arrived at the Jiedushi Mansion and soon saw the Jiedushi Wang Zhengjian.
In a few words, Xu Yu, the staff member, clearly explained the emotions of Zhao Ziliang and his party as they said goodbye to their wives and concubines at the gate of Xicheng.
After Xu Yu heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.
He immediately took out a bunch of copper coins and rewarded the boy, then sent him away.
He immediately went into the lobby to meet Wang Zhengjian.
"Commander, Zhao Ziliang has already set off with his two hundred personal followers.
We have sent four people to follow.
I have already told them to keep an eye on Zhao Ziliang and others until Zhao Ziliang leaves the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
Only in this realm can one return to the world and regain his life.”
At this time, Wang Zhengjian was discussing military and political affairs with several close officials and generals in the lobby.
At this time, after listening to Xu Yu's words, one person cupped his hands and said to Wang Zhengjian: "Commander, since Zhao Ziliang has left, why don't we immediately Let's take action and control all Zhao Ziliang's trusted generals in the army, and then send generals who are trusted by the commander-in-chief to take charge.
It only takes a few days to fully regain military power."
Wang Zhengjian hadn't said anything yet, but Xu Yu, the direct leader of the matter, frowned after hearing this, "Master Gu, just after leaving for a while, let's take action immediately.
It would be too ugly to do this."
Besides, we don’t have a thorough plan yet, and things can easily happen if we act in a hurry.
If we can’t control the situation, the consequences will be disastrous.”
The official surnamed Gu stared, "Brother Xu has too many worries, don't you think those people under Zhao Ziliang still dare to resist?
The commander-in-chief is the highest military and political officer in Beiting and a feudal official with great righteousness and reputation.
How dare those people dare to resist?"
Carrying the charge of rebellion" Not to be outdone, Xu Yu retorted: "Now that Zhao has not gone far, we have taken action rashly.
If his confidants send fast horses to chase him, and Zhao gets the news and returns quickly, do you want the commander to fight with him?"
Did the people named Zhao really break up and fight against each other?"
"This guy named Zhao won't be so bold, right?"
"You are such an idiot.
Since you are going to take action, you must consider the worst situation."
Xu Yu said and said to Wang Zhengjian: "Commander, if you have a way, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Then Zhao Ziliang is a mountain of corpses."
A peerless general who was killed in a sea of blood.
Once we attack his henchmen and take away his military power, does the commander-in-chief think that he will submit obediently and not resist?
He now controls most of the military power in Beiting and will directly obey the commander-in-chief's orders.
There are less than 2,000 soldiers and horses.
At this stage, we have a head-on confrontation with him, and there is almost no chance of winning.
If we really want to take action, the commander's safety cannot be guaranteed.
The only way is to take advantage of him when he is not within the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
Those are his subordinates.
The confidants are leaderless.
As long as we make arrangements in advance and act quickly, we can seize the military power silently.
Even if Zhao Ziliang comes back from Huo Xunguo, he has no soldiers in his hands.

Even if he hates the commander to the core, it will not help. " Wang Zhengjian nodded after listening to Xu Yu's words and said: "Mr.
Xu's words make sense.
Zhao Ziliang has just left the city at this time and has not yet left Tingzhou.
It is indeed too hasty to attack his subordinates now.
The risk is too great.
If When he returns after getting the news, we are about to meet him with force.
This move is not appropriate.
It is not too late to wait until we are properly deployed before taking action.
Mr.
Xu, I will leave this matter to you.
You can formulate a strategy and hand it over as soon as possible.
Give it to me" When Xu Yu received Wang Zhengjian's affirmation, he suddenly became energetic: "Yes, students will never let the commander down."
Late at night four days later, the civil servants and military generals under Zhao Ziliang gathered secretly at Liu Tiao's residence.
Before leaving, Zhao Ziliang made it clear that after he left, Liu Tiao would take the lead in matters in Tingzhou, and be assisted by Dugujun, Gao Shi, Zheng San and others.
The door of the mansion was closed tightly, and even the lanterns at the door were extinguished, but the hall inside the mansion was brightly lit.
Liu Tiao was sitting at the top, Dugujun, Gao Shi, Zheng San and others were sitting at the bottom.
Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode and other generals were looking for themselves.
Location to sit.
Pugu Huai'en couldn't hide anything in his heart, so he first said: "It's been four days, why hasn't Wang Zheng seen that old man making any move?
Isn't this old boy preparing some conspiracy?"
Gao Shi said at this time: "How can this kind of thing be trivial?
They will definitely not do it so quickly.
They also need time to plan and prepare."
Dugujun nodded and said: "Yes, and according to the schedule, the general has not gone far yet.
He should have just arrived in Xilin to guard the capture.
If Mr.
Wang takes action, he will not worry about the general getting the news and returning, so I speculate that they must want to wait for the general.
They will take action after leaving the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
Calculating this, they should take action after ten days."
Everyone agreed with this time.
Liu Tiao looked at Chu Ge, Bai Xiaode, Pugu Huai'en, Li Sheng, the first four of the Eighteen Tornado Riders and other generals and asked: "What will you do when you return to camp that day?"
Very relevant deployment” All the generals clasped their fists and said, "Don't worry, Mr.
Liu, we have made arrangements according to the general's instructions and there will be no problem."
Only then did Liu Tiao feel relieved and said: "In addition, regarding your own safety issues, I have been entrusted by the general to say something solemnly here.
If Wang Zhengjian really takes action, as long as the people he sends are not If you are killed or arrested on the spot, you cannot resist.
If the Jiedushi government issues an official document to remove you from your posts or transfer you, you must accept the order."
Chu Ge asked: "Master Liu, if the people sent by Wang Zhengjian want to kill us or arrest us on various charges, how should we respond?"
Liu Tiao pondered for a moment and said: "Just because your immediate superior is the Soldier and Horse Envoy, and there is no official statement from the Soldier and Horse Envoy, you refuse to obey the order.
I don't think they would have the guts to directly take your lives." , after all, you are also generals who have been fighting for many years.
If you kill a general without enough reason, even if he is a military commander, he cannot withstand the pressure from all aspects."
On the seventh day of November, Zhao Ziliang had been guarding Xilin for four days.
Li Siye and his personal guards moved directly towards Suiye City without stopping at Xilin guarding, while Zhao Ziliang stayed behind secretly.
That morning, Zhao Ziliang was practicing martial arts in the house arranged for him by Bo Bo Han.
Bo Han walked in with Gai Nie.
Gai Nie was the youngest son of Gai Jiayun.

He had good martial arts and was already with Zhao Ziliang.
For several years, he was extremely loyal.
Zhao Ziliang asked him to contact Wang Can exclusively, and he was also responsible for part of the spying and assassination tasks.
After the two arrived, they stood nearby and did not disturb Zhao Ziliang's martial arts practice.
By the time Zhao Ziliang finished practicing, more than an hour had passed.
After handing the weapons to the guards, Zhao Ziliang took a towel and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Brahan said: "General, Gai Nie has received a message from the Flying Eagle from Tingzhou."
Gai Nie immediately took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ziliang with both hands.
After taking it, Zhao Ziliang took out the small piece of cloth and looked at it.
It turned out that the news came from Anxi.
Two days ago, the Deputy Governor of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi, the Jiedushi of the Four Towns, received an order from the imperial court, asking him to send troops to attack the Jieshi Kingdom.
The reason was that the Jieshi Kingdom had been invading the northwest of Tocharo for a period of time and plundered a large number of people and livestock.
Nowadays, the situation is divided again.
Tokhuluoyehusilihengaluo does not have enough troops to fight against the Jieshi Kingdom, so he can only send an envoy to Chang'an to meet Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and request Xuanzong to order troops to attack In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty had been victorious in border affairs and had made great achievements in fighting against the Jieshi Kingdom.
This time Tocharo Yehu sent people to meet with him, which made Xuanzong look good, so Xuanzong ordered Gao Xianzhi to send troops to attack the Jieshi Kingdom.
Gao Xianzhi immediately began to make preparations after receiving the order.
He had the experience of fighting on the plateau when he attacked Xiaobolu Kingdom last time.
He was even more familiar with leading troops this time.
He was quickly prepared and led 10,000 troops.
With the remaining people, the soldiers took only horses and sufficient daily necessities and warm clothing to set off for the Congling Plateau.
This time, they were also on the border.
Lingcheng served as the supervisor.
Bian Lingcheng used to be the supervisor of Fumeng Lingcha.
His relationship with Fumeng Lingcha had not been handled well.
He finally took the opportunity to run away Fumeng Lingcha.
He also called Gao Xianzhi General, judging from the current relationship between the two, these two should handle it well.
Maybe there is a secret that outsiders don't know.
The Jieshi Kingdom is in the north of Tianzhu, bordering the northeastern part of the Tocharian Kingdom.
The distance from Anxi to the Jieshi Kingdom is further than that to Xiaobolu.
It is winter now, and the climate is worse than when we attacked Xiaobolu Kingdom the summer before last. cold.
After reading, Zhao Ziliang went back to the room, took out a flint and lit the small strip of cloth and burned it.
Then he wrote another small strip of cloth and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube.
He came back and gave it to Gai Nie, and ordered: "Pass the message with the flying eagle."
Send it to Wang Can."
Gai Nie took the small bamboo tube and bent down and said: "No" Zhao Ziliang looked at Brahan again and asked, "What are you doing?"
Brahan said: "The general has been here for a few days, and I haven't come to visit you yet.
I happen to be free today, so I came over to see if there is anything missing here.
I will personally deliver it to you."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a while and said: "I appreciate your kindness, but this place is secret.
If you run here often, someone will definitely find something unusual.
Besides, I don't lack anything here.
If you are not particularly important, Don’t let things happen again.”
Brahan and Cai realized that he was indeed too reckless to come here, and he quickly said: "The general is not thinking carefully, please punish the general."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "You only need to know now.
If there is nothing else, you can withdraw first."
