Zhao Ziliang focused his attention on the location of Hengluosi City, which was the forefront intersection point of the two forces.
It was impossible not to notice it.
He pointed at the location of Hengluosi City with his finger and said: "Now here How many people are there in the Anxi Army?"
Wang Can said: "After the Shi State army surrendered to the Great Eater, Shi Dao in Hengluosi City did not surrender.
Including the thousand people deployed by Anxi here, there should be a total of three thousand people.
However, the Shi Army's combat effectiveness is not very good.
In this way, it can only be counted as two thousand combat power at most."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "Isn't there three thousand people?
Why are there only one thousand people?"
"We originally had 3,000 men garrisoned there.
Since the garrison rights of Hengluosi were returned to Anxi, the general leading the army has been eating the free pay of 2,000 men, and there are only 1,000 men actually stationed in the city."
"I'll wipe out these greedy bitches," Zhao Ziliang cursed angrily.
As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Gao Xianzhi and General Bian Lingcheng are both money-grubbing people.
Naturally, the generals and officials below followed their example and were extremely courageous.
Zhao Ziliang was so angry that he turned blue, but he understood that being angry now would have no effect.
After looking at the map again, Zhao Ziliang discovered another big problem.
Now the Big Eaters control the territory from the Aral Sea to Hengluosi City.
This means that the Big Eaters can not only attack Hengluosi, but also attack from the north.
Drive straight into the south bank of Yi Bohai and march towards the hinterland under the jurisdiction of Beiting.
This area is the territory of the Western Turkic tribes.
Now the troops and horses of each tribe have basically been drawn to Guigao Xianzhi for control.
Where is the strength of the opponent who may come from the west?
attack Zhao Ziliang couldn't sit still now.
The big cannibal might break into the hinterland of Beiting.
After all, this is not Gao Xianzhi's problem.
If the big cannibal hits the hinterland of Beiting, he, Zhao Ziliang, would be humiliated.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Come, please inform the officials from the Jiedushi Mansion and the Soldiers and Horses Mansion to come quickly to discuss the emergency military situation."
"promise" The officials and generals who received the notice quickly rushed to the Military Envoy's Mansion.
The meeting was held in the front lobby.
When Zhao Ziliang came from the inner house, all the personnel had expired.
When the officials and generals saw Zhao Ziliang walking into the lobby, they all stopped talking and stood up.
Just as they were about to salute, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Forget it.
Time is tight, so just sit down casually."
"Thank you General" After everyone sat down, Zhao Ziliang said: "I am reporting a very urgent military situation.
Several Western Turkic tribes under my jurisdiction from Hengluosi City to the Aral Sea have been defeated by the cannibals and have surrendered.
Only a few people escaped into the cold northern land where the Slavs lived and the territory of the Chebi people.
Come and get the map."
Two soldiers carried a bundle of maps, unfolded them and hung them on the wall.
The entire hall was brightly lit, and everyone could clearly see the place names and lines on the map.
Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and pointed at the area from the Aral Sea to the Yibo Sea, and said: "Look, everyone, the area from the Aral Sea to the north of Hengluosi City is now occupied by the Dashi Army.
Of course, they don't have many troops.
It's impossible.
Occupy such a large area However, they are capable of marching eastward.
Not only can they attack Hengluosi City, but they can also penetrate into the hinterland of our Beiting.

This area is the territory of various tribes.
Now their soldiers and horses have been transferred to Ba Khan. country, there are basically no soldiers available in the territory."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he drew a big arrow on the map with a pen.
Everyone could see it clearly.
Then they realized the seriousness of the matter.
Everyone immediately started talking.
Someone said directly: "Why don't you send someone to notify the leaders of each tribe and let them They quickly led their troops back to their territory to fight against the enemy."
This method obviously didn't work, and was quickly opposed by most people.
Liu Tiao shook his head and said: "This is inappropriate, not to mention that the emperor issued an edict for all tribes to send troops under Gao Xianzhi's control.
We cannot resist the edict." , and I’m afraid it’s too late to transfer them back at this time.
Well, if Gao Xianzhi has more troops, he has a better chance of winning.
If we bring back the 20,000 people, Gao Xianzhi's troops will be at an absolute disadvantage, and it is said that the black-clothed food army is coming this time with elite cavalry Gao Xianzhi.
It’s not that easy to win.”
There was a lot of discussion below.
Zhao Ziliang sat at the top and thought deeply.
After weighing it in his mind for a long time, he looked at the people below and said: "For the current plan, only I, the general, will lead Han Haijun to go there just in case."
Dugujun asked: "This is the only plan for now."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The matter has been decided.
You all go back and prepare on your own.
Within two days, prepare a month's worth of food and other military supplies needed by the army.
In two days, I, the general, will set off with Han Haijun."
After the meeting dispersed, the officials and generals went back to make preparations.
The officials were busy preparing grain, grass and military supplies for the army.
These things required a large number of horses and carriages to be transported with the army.
It was not difficult to prepare so many mules and horses. , but it takes time and manpower to prepare a large number of carriages.
The generals returned to the military camp to prepare for the mobilization of troops.
Before dispatching troops, they usually have to eat well and drink well to build up their physical strength and spirit.
However, the training for the past two days has been stopped.
In the military camp, they must prepare to kill pigs.
When cattle are slaughtered and sheep are slaughtered, fine wine must be prepared and the soldiers must They write suicide notes.
Most of them are illiterate and can't write.
The military can only ask the clerks to write them for them.
If they come back from the war, the suicide notes will be returned to them naturally.
If they are killed in the war, the suicide notes will be passed.
The inn or send someone to deliver it to your home.
This is one of the things that Zhao Ziliang changed during the reorganization of the entire Beiting Army.
In the past, those who died in battles died, and their bones were discarded on the battlefield, and no one restrained them.
Some generals even knew to bury the corpses to avoid accidents.
Some generals didn't bother to take care of the plague, and the soldiers were It is just a number in his consciousness.
If it is lost, it will be replenished.
However, after Zhao Ziliang reorganized and transformed the Beiting Army, he added many humanistic things.
This is just one of them.
Because of this change, the soldiers Now I don’t have to worry about fighting anymore.
After the officials and generals left, Zhao Ziliang left Li Sheng behind and said, "Li Sheng, I am leading the troops to the west this time.
I want you to stay and guard Tingzhou.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Tingzhou seems to have completely separated from the last time." turmoil, but in fact some people still You are not convinced and want to cause trouble for me all the time.
Chu Ge is far away in Da Mo State and there is no way to bring him back for the time being.
Bai Xiaode, Pugu Huai'en and others here are brave but lack resourcefulness and flexibility.
I have no choice but to let you guard Ting State. , I’m relieved”
Li Sheng originally wanted to follow Zhao Ziliang in sending troops, and maybe he could fight against the food army.
Of course he was not happy if he was not allowed to go, but when Zhao Ziliang said that he could take care of important things, he immediately forgot his unhappiness and became very angry.
He was happy, clasped his fists and said: "I am extremely honored to be able to gain the general's trust.
Please rest assured, general.
With me in Tingzhou, those people can't make waves."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "I'll be relieved then.
I'll leave all the infantry battalions of Han Haijun under your command to guard Tingzhou.
I'll be able to bring 10,000 cavalry and heavy cavalry."
But Li Sheng said: "The general only brings 10,000 troops because he is afraid of having too few troops, but the cannibals are coming with great force."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter.
I can also capture and lead 5,000 cavalry from Xilin.
There are 15,000 people in total.
Even if I encounter a 50,000-strong food army, I will not be afraid."
Li Sheng was convinced.
Two days later, Zhao Ziliang led the Han navy with 8,000 light cavalry and 3,000 heavy cavalry, with a total of 11,000 men, heading west to Tingzhou, leaving 5,000 infantry for Li Sheng to guard Tingzhou.
Stone Kingdom, Tuozhe City.
Ziad and a group of his generals were watching the singing and dancing of the women of the Stone Kingdom in the palace of the Stone Kingdom.
As a conqueror, he and his men had this right.
The fight went smoothly all the way, which made him very comfortable.
However, He knew that he must not be careless.
It was because of his carelessness that he was defeated by Zhao Ziliang.
He was ambushed by Zhao Ziliang and suffered heavy losses.
That battle was a great humiliation for him.
He vowed to defeat Zhao Ziliang and avenge his humiliation.
But this time, the leader of the Tang army was a man named Gao Xianzhi.
He had heard of this Man, Gao Xianzhi is very proficient in mountain warfare.
Now Gao Xianzhi is leading troops to garrison the mountainous country of Bahan.
In that country, Ziad does not think that he can be stronger than Gao Xianzhi in mountain warfare, and most of his subordinates are cavalry.
Fighting with Gao Xianzhi in mountain warfare is completely using his own shortcomings to deal with the enemy's strengths.
This is unwise.
Therefore Only then did he urge Bo Xilin to send another division to advance from the north and first defeat the northern troops.
Several Western Turkic tribes under the imperial court attacked Hengluosi City directly.
In this way, he had a new choice.
He did not need to gnaw on the hard bone of the Bakhan Kingdom, as long as he captured Hengluosi City from the north. , we can quickly advance all the way eastward.
The road is smooth and smooth.
Who else can stop the people of Allah from expanding eastward?
When everyone was looking happy, a soldier from the Food Army came in and saluted: "Your Excellency, General Said sent someone to send news from the north."
Ziad was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand to drive all the singers out.
Only his generals and officers were left in the hall.
"Say, there are no outsiders here."
"It was General Said who sent someone to report that he had led 20,000 people to capture Hengluos City five days ago.

Hengluos City was completely defended.
They lost 5,000 men and horses.
The soldiers crossed the desert.
After several days of continuous siege operations, I was very tired and needed to rest.
I will not be able to fight for at least half a month."
"Half a month is too long."
Ziyad frowned, but he also knew that Said was telling the truth.
The food army was not very good at attacking cities.
Most of Said's troops were cavalry and only a few infantry. , it is estimated that these infantry were almost exhausted during the siege.
Ziad thought for a while, looked at the others and said: "Everyone, Gao Xianzhi will definitely know the news about our army's capture of Hengluosi soon.
Our opponent is him.
After he gets the news, the only way is to lead his army to A decisive battle with our army in Hengluosi City, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will not be able to block our army's front, and we will have a decisive battle with the Tang army in Hengluosi City It’s just that I heard that Gao Xianzhi is very good at fighting, but his main force is only 20,000 people, and the rest are servants from the surrounding tribes.
I have personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the Tang army.
If I fight them from the front, I’m afraid It is difficult for our 40,000 main force to defeat his 20,000 regular Tang army.
I wonder if you have any good methods to defeat him
