On April 12, 751 AD, the tenth year of Tianbao, after receiving Feng Changqing's request, Zhao Ziliang immediately sent an order to all the barbarian tribes under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate, asking their leaders to rush to the north after receiving the order.
The court discussed matters and discussed the dispatch of troops.
Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to gather the leaders of these barbarian tribes and ask them to come to Beiting for discussion.
However, he considered that summoning these barbarian leaders too early might leak the news, and the cannibals had not yet adopted large-scale measures at that time.
Action, preparation is too early, in case the cannibals don't come, the barbarian leaders have prepared soldiers and horses, wouldn't it be a waste of work, then those barbarian leaders in the south will complain.
On April 21st, there was only one day left before the barbarian leaders were summoned for discussion.
In fact, these barbarian leaders had already arrived one after another.
Zhao Ziliang sent someone to arrange for them to stay in the post house in Tingzhou, just to let them rest for one night.
Tomorrow A troop mobilization meeting was held.
That night, after dinner, Zhao Ziliang checked the homework of his children before going to the study to read.
Not long after, the housekeeper Wang Ru came to report that Wang Can had something to ask for, so Zhao Ziliang asked the housekeeper to bring Wang Can to the study.
Wang Can soon followed Wang Ru to the study to meet Zhao Ziliang and "met the general."
Zhao Ziliang pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down.
If you have anything to report," Wang Can sat down and clasped his fists and said: "General, there is news from Sogdia.
Since the Li Fei Yuan Li who was stationed in Kang State at the beginning of this month fought with the Dashi Army and withdrew to Shi State, the Dashi Army They quickly destroyed the country of He, and only rested for about ten days before continuing eastward.
Now people in the mountains of Kang Guo are panicking, and the country of Kang is afraid that it will not last long before it surrenders to the cannibals."
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "It seems that the war is not far away."
The next day, the leaders of each tribe came to the lobby of the Military Envoy's Mansion one after another, and were received and seated by dedicated personnel to serve tea.
Zhao Ziliang came at just the right time.
He arrived after everyone had arrived.
All the leaders were in awe of him.
Everyone stood up and saluted him with their own etiquette.
Even the most arrogant people would not do it in front of him.
Dare to be too presumptuous, everyone is honest and don't dare to speak loudly.
Zhao Ziliang deliberately kept a straight face today, which made all the leaders a little uneasy, wondering what Zhao Ziliang would say to them later.
"Everyone, please take a seat," Zhao Ziliang said before he took the main seat first.
"Thank you, General."
The leaders thanked each other and returned to their seats on both sides to sit down.
Zhao Ziliang was not polite and said directly: "It is really unreasonable to invite the leaders to come here from their own territories so far away.
Maybe you don't know it yet.
Maybe some leaders may have learned some news.
Last year The Umayyad dynasty of the Great Food Kingdom was destroyed by the rebels.
This time the rebels were commonly known as the Black-clad Great Food.
A new dynasty was established on the original land of the Dashi Kingdom, called the Abbasid Dynasty.
Now the caliph of the Abbasid dynasty, also known as the emperor, is called Abu Abbas.
This black-clad Dashi invaded into Sexually, they are more aggressive than the previous Dashi.
They enjoy killing people, and their soldiers are not afraid of death.
The combat effectiveness of the army should not be underestimated.
Now the power of the Black-clad Shiro Kingdom has begun to expand eastward.
Huoxun, An, and He in the land of Sogdia have either surrendered or been destroyed.
The army of the Black-Clothed Shiro Kingdom has arrived in Kangxi.
On the border of the country, the current military strength of the country of Kang is no match for the army in black.
The army can be destroyed in just a matter of seconds.
Judging from the current attack momentum of the Food Army, they will occupy the entire Sogdiana sooner or later.
If they receive little resistance, they are very likely to attack to the north, which is the territory of the Bi tribe of Wu Nu Shi.

As the saying goes, if the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Wu Nu is missing If the Bi tribe is destroyed, then the Wu Chu Lu tribe, the Ge Luo Lu tribe, the Chu Yue tribe, and the Chu Mi tribe will probably not be saved."
Axijie Qianquan of the Axijie Que tribe stood up and stroked his chest and said: "The general means that he is going to start a war with the big cannibal again.
The general has called us here this time to discuss the matter of starting a war with the big cannibal."
Zhao Ziliang said: "In the battle with the big cannibals to the south, I don't need to tell you how ferocious the big cannibals are.
I think you all know it.
If we wait until they come to kill us, it will be too late for us to mobilize soldiers and horses to fight them.
Moreover, if they After taking the Sogdian land, we must attack again.
Although it is not my territory of the Tang Dynasty, it must be your territory.
I, the Tang Dynasty, have the responsibility to work with you to fight against the big cannibal.
Of course, if you think you have the ability to fight off the big cannibal, just pretend that I have said nothing.
How about going back and forth from there now?”
Just now, when Zhao Ziliang said that they would deal with the cannibals together, many barbarian leaders were reluctant to send troops.
But now that Zhao Ziliang said this, they certainly did not want to fight against the cannibals alone, and they did not have the ability to do so.
They could only rely on the big cannibals.
Tang, the leaders looked at each other, but no one left.
The leader of the Geshu Que Tribe is now Zhao Hu.
He is the husband of Geshu Luoyan, so he inherited the position of Geshu Luoyan’s tribal leader.
He stood up and clasped his fists at the other leaders and said: "Chiefs, I am my second uncle.
"My nephew, it's not me who speaks for my second uncle.
This is the fact.
The cannibals are coming fiercely.
If we don't stick together and are not under the control of the Tang Dynasty, we will only be defeated by the cannibals one by one."
The leader of the Shunishi tribe stood up and stroked his chest: "General, our tribe agrees to send troops."
Others also stood up to express their agreement, but some still did not want to go too far.
The leaders of the three Geluolu tribes did not express their stance.
After all, they were too far away from the Big Eater.
Even if the Big Eater came to attack, they would not be able to reach Jinshan. feet.
Horoshi's tribe had a small population and a small number of troops, so they did not want to send troops.
The leader of the Chuyue Department stood up and said: "General, if we send out troops in autumn, our department will definitely have nothing to say.
The autumn air is crisp, the horses are fat and strong, and the men are full of energy.
It is a good time for war, but is it too early to send troops now?
It’s a little early, and we grassland tribes have never fought in spring.”
The leaders who were unwilling to send troops also said that now is not a good time to send troops to fight.
When the hot summer is over and autumn comes, they can fight.
Zhao Ziliang had a dark look on his face after hearing the reasons given by these people.
He knocked on the table and said coldly: "I'm afraid it's not up to you this time.
We have to send troops even if we don't want to.
The emperor has issued an imperial edict.
The Beiting Protectorate is All the ministries under their jurisdiction jointly sent 20,000 troops, which were controlled by the Deputy Protector of Anxi and the Jiedushi of the Four Towns, General Gao Xianzhi.
Within two months, I have rushed to the territory of Bakhna to assemble the general.
I am not here to discuss with you, but to inform you.
As for the number of infantry for each tribe, our military envoy will make decisions based on the population of each tribe and the control it possesses.
Come and tell the leaders how many troops they will send."
Dugujun stood up from the side and held a booklet, opened it and read: "Axijie Que's tribe sent three thousand troops, Ge Shuque's tribe sent two thousand troops; Shuni Shi's tribe sent two thousand troops."
As soon as Dugujun finished reading, several leaders became dissatisfied and shouted: "Why do you ask me to send 3,000 troops?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
My entire tribe does not have 3,000 fighting troops?"
The leader who was unwilling to send so many troops immediately began to complain.
Zhao Ziliang looked at those people with a straight face and said: "The enemy is currently facing us.
If you still think about preserving your own strength, you are far away from being destroyed or enslaved by the big cannibal."
The day is not far away, the leaders are all smart people, Why did we become confused at the critical moment?
If we were defeated by the cannibals due to lack of troops, would the tribes that preserved their strength be spared?
This matter has been decided like this.
No one is allowed to complain anymore.
We will send out as many troops as we need.
How many troops and horses to send, this is not negotiable."
The transferred Khan of He Luoshi's department stood up and stroked his chest and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, Xiao Khan has fought with the general several times, and he has returned with great victory every time.
Xiao Khan is also very willing to fight with the general and win.
There is also the distribution of spoils of war, and the distribution is very fair.
Xiao Khan and my subordinates are all convinced by the general, but this time why is it not the general who leads the army, but that person named Gao Xianzhi?
Xiao Khan has never seen him, so I can't trust him."
After hearing what Khan Yipa said, some of the other leaders began to talk at random.
They basically meant the same thing.
These leaders did not trust Gao Xianzhi very much.
After all, Gao Xianzhi had never led them to fight and had never fought with them.
They have never met, and of course they are not familiar with each other.
Therefore, they believe that following Gao Xianzhi into the war is uncertain and risky.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Okay, I understand your feelings, general, but what I want to say is that General Gao is a rare general.
In the past few years, he has led troops on several expeditions and has never been defeated.
General Gao is a person I admire very much.
Please follow There shouldn't be any problems for him to fight.
I estimate that the battlefield between General Gao and the Great Eater should be within the territory of Shiguo.
When the two sides fight, I will lead his troops to station troops in Suiye City.
If something happens , our army can rescue at any time."
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, the leaders were still a little worried, but there was no other way.
Since the emperor had already issued the imperial edict, they really couldn't object, otherwise they would be violating the will of the Tang Dynasty and would not wait for the cannibals to attack.
Datang will deal with them first.
So everyone expressed their intention to arrive in the country of Bakhna within the stipulated two months.
Horusi transferred the Khan to think of something and asked again: "General, this war requires a lot of food and grass.
The Tang Dynasty will not let us prepare our own food and grass."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Of course not.
You just need to bring the food and grass on the way to the country of Bukhan.
The general will set up a food and grass supply point in Suiye City.
When you lead your troops through Suiye City, Just go get your own food and grass.
When you arrive at your destination, we will send people to deliver food and grass regularly, and we won't let you run out of food."
Now the leaders were relieved, and each of them said that there were no other problems, and they all stood up and left one after another:
