After the tribal leaders left, Zhao Hu stayed.
He is now the leader of the Geshu Que tribe, so he was summoned to Beiting to discuss matters.
"I've met my uncle."
Zhao Hu bowed down immediately after seeing Zhao Ziliang in the back hall.
Zhao Ziliang is actually not used to being knelt down, but the ritual of kneeling is a common etiquette in this era.
If you don't let others kneel down, it will make others frightened.
"You don't have to be polite, just sit down and talk."
"Thank you uncle" Zhao Ziliang asked: "Have you gone to see your elder brother and sister-in-law?"
Zhao Hu replied: "I saw him yesterday and lived there."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "This time you lead the troops and follow them to the country of Bukhan and return it to Gao Xianzhi for control.
You must obey the military orders and do not act recklessly.
In fact, my uncle is not worried about your going this time. , In the past, you were with your second uncle, and your second uncle could still take care of you.
This time, your second uncle can’t take care of you, and you are the only one with the eldest brother and sister-in-law.
If something happens to you on the battlefield, it will be difficult for your second uncle to follow you.
Brother and sister-in-law, tell me."
Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Second uncle, don't worry.
Although my martial arts is not as good as the second uncle, it is not that easy for ordinary people to hurt me.
Besides, I now have an heir, and Yan'er is pregnant again."
One, even if I'm on the battlefield No matter what misfortune happens, the incense of my lineage is still preserved.
Didn’t my second uncle always say that the existence of soldiers is to be ready to fight at any time?
Now it is us warriors who are used.
If we are timid, why wear this armor?
Woolen cloth" Zhao Ziliang pointed at Zhao Hu and said with a smile: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, but you were trying to convince me first.
The burden of Geshu Que falls on you, and it is also your responsibility and obligation to lead the troops.
You can't let women lead the troops, so I won't stop you, but no matter what, swords and guns are blind on the battlefield, so you have to be careful yourself and don't remove your armor casually at any time."
Zhao Hu cupped his hands and said, "My nephew understands.
Second uncle, don't worry."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Okay, go meet your two aunts and a few brothers and sisters and talk for a while.
You haven't been to Tingzhou for a long time, and they have been talking about you."
"Yes, I'll go right away" A few days later, news came from Kang State that Kang State was unable to resist the attack of the cannibals, and the whole country surrendered before the war started.
The cannibals got more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Kang State for nothing, and then only passed In one month, most of the small countries in Sogdia opened their cities and surrendered.
Only the Shi Kingdom in the south still resisted.
The big eaters in black were more cruel than the big eaters in white.
The leaders of the Zhaowu kingdoms who surrendered later discovered that their surrender was actually a mistake.
After they surrendered, the big eaters in black not only controlled their armies, but also controlled their troops.
They burned, killed, and plundered the land.
In a short period of time, the entire Sogdian land was in catastrophe.
Every place was burned to ashes by the cannibals in black.
Many Sogdians were left homeless and treated as slaves by the cannibals.
Used by slaves.
Subsequently, the governor of Khorasan Province, Boshilin, arrived in Kang State with his personal guards and took up residence in Kang State.
The Anxi Protectorate is also making preparations to move to the Bukhanna Kingdom and Shiguo.
The 20,000 horses promised by Beiting are also moving towards the Bukhanna Kingdom.
Zhao Ziliang ordered people to set up a grain and grass supply point in Suiye City. , for each tribe’s army to collect when passing by.
At the end of May, Zhao Ziliang, who was training his troops, received news from Wang Can that the black-clad food army, the Governor of Khorasan Province and Bo Xilin, ordered his general Ziad to be the main general and Daoud to be the deputy general to march north.

Ziad himself As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Daoud was the vanguard and marched into the territory of Shiguo.
The Anxi Protectorate only stationed a small number of soldiers and horses in the Shi Kingdom.
Gao Xianzhi did not expect the Dashi Army to arrive so quickly.
The main force of his Anxi Army was still in Anxi and was preparing to go out.
It was too late to rush to the Shi Kingdom now.
In order to In order to preserve his strength, Gao Xianzhi had to order the Anxi Army in the Shi Kingdom to retreat to the territory of the Bakhna Kingdom, join the Fan Army of Beiting that had already arrived here, wait for the arrival of the main force of the Anxi Army, and at the same time arrange defenses.
The Shi Kingdom itself had more than 12,000 troops.
After the Tang army retreated, they felt that they had been abandoned.
Facing the menacing black-clad food army, the Shi Kingdom army knew that they were no match for them, so they simply surrendered to the black army.
Food and clothing.
Zhao Ziliang immediately summoned the generals and officials to report the news.
Everyone had different reactions after hearing the news.
The civil servants were very worried, thinking that the cannibals were ferocious and ferocious.
If they continued to expand northward, they would sooner or later have to compete with the Tang Dynasty.
However, the generals were very anxious.
They thought As warriors, they all want to fight.
Only by fighting can they gain military glory, distribute spoils, and be promoted and make a fortune.
But now this war has nothing to do with them, and of course they feel it is a pity.
Chu Ge stood up and clasped his fists and asked: "General, there is something I don't understand.
After the black-clothed food army arrived in Kang State, why did it attack the north alone but not Tochara in the south?
Logically speaking, Tochara is better.
Pack up some, and they can get more supplies, food, and servants by conquering Tochara."
Other generals and officials were somewhat confused about the reason, and even civilian officials such as Liu Tiao, Dugujun and Gao Shi also expressed doubts.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Tochara is bounded by Tiemenguan in the north, Daxue Mountain in the south, our Tang Dynasty in the east, and Dashi Country in the west.
However, most of the western part of Tocharo is desert, and the land is barren and the output is There are very few and now there are many powerful chiefs in the northern part of Tocharo, and they are independent in their own affairs.
Tocharo Yehu is basically unable to govern.
It seems that the land area is very large, but in fact it does not pose any threat to the giant cannibals.
Therefore, for the giant cannibals, it does not matter whether they attack Tocharor or not.
It will take a lot of time to defeat all the Tocharians.
However, they did not plunder much property, which was no more than useless.
Moreover, if the black-clothed food army went south to attack Tocharo, This gave me enough time to prepare in the Tang Dynasty.
The commander of the black-clothed food army this time, Bo Xilin, is an old friend of mine.
I fought against him when I went to the food country to welcome Princess Hera last year.
A man has talent in using troops.
If his troops were exhausted, I would not be able to take advantage of him.
And Bo Xilin knew very well that instead of wasting his troops, I would not be able to take advantage of him.
Instead of wasting time to attack the oilless enclave of Tocharo, it is better to go north to annex Shi Kingdom and Bakhna at an extremely fast speed, and then have a decisive battle with our Tang Dynasty in Shi Kingdom or Bakhanna.
As long as we defeat our country in the Western Regions If the cannibals want to attack Tochara again, they can attack however they want."
After Zhao Ziliang's analysis, everyone suddenly realized.
Zhao Ziliang was a little worried at this time.
He said: "The black-clothed food army is advancing very fast.
Now all the Shi Kingdom troops have surrendered.
The thousands of troops deployed by Anxi in the Shi Kingdom are greatly different in strength, so they were ordered to attack the Bukhan Kingdom." retreated within the territory, while Gao Xianzhi’s tribe was still within the territory of Anxi, but the terrain of the Bukhan Kingdom Different from the Stone Kingdom, most of the black-clothed food army is cavalry.
It is not easy to attack the complex terrain of the Bakhanna Kingdom.
But if Bingbo Xilin wants to fight the Anxi Army decisively, it is not within the territory of the Stone Kingdom.

It is in the territory of Bakhna.
As for the specific location of the decisive battle, it depends on the layout of the commanders of both sides."
On June 11, Zhao Ziliang had just returned from Xilin to inspect the forging of weapons and armor.
That night Wang Can came to report: "General, the situation seems to be not good.
The troops under my jurisdiction in Beiting from Aral Sea to Hengluo Several Western Turkic tribes north of Sicheng broke away from control and surrendered to the cannibals."
"What?"
Zhao Ziliang was extremely surprised when he heard the news.
He stood up involuntarily and said with a serious expression, "Do you have any specific information about what is going on?"
"Yes, one of the captains sent by the Military Envoy to monitor these tribes' territories was seriously injured and ran back to Shuijiancheng.
Tianyan has a stronghold in Shuijian City.
Our people rescued the seriously injured captain.
According to what he said after he woke up, the Big Eater actually sent a group of troops to cross the vast desert and penetrate deep into the area without anyone noticing.
On the south coast of the Aral Sea, this group of troops was commanded by a general named Said.
He then launched an attack on the three Western Turkic tribes who moved there.
Under the sneak attack, the three Western Turkic tribes were quickly defeated.
Only The minority people fled to the colder areas further north, many of them were killed, and some were captured and became slaves.”
The matter is serious, and it is very serious.
If the area from the Aral Sea to the north of Hengluosi City is still under the control of Beiting, this battle will be much easier for Gao Xianzhi.
However, the area from the Aral Sea to Hengluosi City is blocked.
With the Black-clothed Food Army occupying it, Gao Xianzhi needs to pay attention to more than just the country of Bukhan.
What if the Black-clothed Food Army attacks from the north to the east instead of attacking from the Stone Kingdom to Bukhanna?
Zhao Ziliang immediately went to the map to check it, and quickly marked the spheres of influence and troop deployment of both sides with a pen on the ground.
The country of Bakhna was mountainous, which was not conducive to large-scale cavalry operations.
Bo Xilin obviously knew this, so That's why he sent Said to lead a troop to attack the Western Turkic tribes from the Aral Sea to Hengluosi City, hoping to capture Hengluosi, and then advance all the way east.
Obviously, from Hengluosi to Hengluosi, Advancing eastward is a vast plain, while from Bahna To attack the country, we need to carry out mountain operations, because the entire territory of the Bakhna Kingdom is on the western branch of the Tianshan Mountains, and the food army is all cavalry, which is obviously not suitable for mountain operations.
Boshilin is also using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and he knows Gao Xianzhi is very experienced in mountain warfare and does not want to use his shortcomings to deal with Gao Xianzhi's strengths.
Therefore, Said has won the territory from Aral Sea to Hengluosi.
As the defender, Gao Xianzhi is now being held back.
The nose is gone.
After studying the map, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Where is Gao Xianzhi's main force now?"
Wang Can said: "I arrived in the country of Bakhna five days ago.
I believe he will soon get the news that the Great Food Army has occupied the area west of Hengluosi City.
Anxi has also made relevant details.
Although it is not as good as ours, it is This kind of news can’t be kept secret for long
