Bian Lingcheng thought about Zhao Ziliang's position as a military envoy in Beiting.
If Zhao Ziliang could be punished by the court, he would be happy to add insult to injury.
But judging from the current situation, he really couldn't add insult to injury.
If the food army really breaks into the hinterland of Beiting, the court will probably not only hold Zhao Ziliang accountable, but also Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng.
As a eunuch, he cannot bear the responsibility of losing his country.
Bian Lingcheng thought of so many problems in a short period of time.
Although he was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to say to Gao Xianzhi: "Since General Gao has already made a plan, the Zajia family will not say anything.
General Gao wants to Send troops to attack Hengluosi, so go ahead, but you have to have people stationed here.
How about General Gao taking the main force to Hengluosi, and Zajia leading a partial division to garrison here?"
Gao Xianzhi nodded and said: "It's very good that the master over there will lead 10,000 people to garrison here and send the order.
Tomorrow at Mao o'clock, we will light a fire and make food.
At Chen o'clock, we will break camp and set off for Hengluosi City."
"promise" Leaders from various parts of the Western Turks also received news that the cannibals had reached Hengluosi City.
They were also worried that Gao Xianzhi would not care about the lives of the tribes east of Hengluosi City.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xianzhi ordered to send troops to Hengluosi City.
Marching into Sicheng, these leaders finally felt relieved.
The huge team marched safely northwest from Kesai City.
The road from Kesai City to Hengluosi City was not very easy.
The main reason was that most of it was mountainous.
Gao Xianzhi thought about getting the big food army and had laid down Hengluosi City.
It has been two days since the news of Luosi City, plus the time it took for the news to be delivered on the road, I am afraid that it is now close to the capture of the Dashi Army.
Hengluosi City has been around for seven or eight days, but Gao Xianzhi is not worried that the food army currently in Hengluosi City will attack eastward, because Hengluosi City is a key point.
As long as Hengluosi City is surrounded, he can attack The Dashi Army attacking eastward will be cut off from its retreat, but the leading general of the Dashi Army is obviously not a fool, and does not even understand this bit of military common sense.
Both sides know very well that the decisive battle will take place under Hengluosi City.
If the Dashi Army wins and there is still strength left, they can send troops eastward to continue to expand their power.
If the Tang Army wins, what the Dashi Army has to do is to defend Hengluo City.
If Sicheng cannot be defended, all we can do is Withdraw, the Dashi Army's eastward expansion had to stop, and even had to evacuate quickly until it retreated to Dashi's country.
The Tang Army would obviously not take the initiative to give up its interests in the Western Regions.
Even if the Dashi Army refused to withdraw to the country, the Tang Army would Drive them back to Dashi.
On the evening of the second day of June, Gao Xianzhi's troops, who had been marching for a day, camped in a valley three hundred miles northwest of Kesai City.
This place was still within the territory of the Bakhna Kingdom, so the Tang Army only sent some sporadic exploration horses to explore the surrounding terrain.
No strict defensive measures were deployed.
The 20,000 tribal troops under the jurisdiction of Beiting were at the end of the team, and the camp was also at the end.
Zhao Hu, as Zhao Ziliang's nephew, had an actual military position in the Beiting Protectorate, and he was highly skilled in martial arts. , I stayed with Zhao Ziliang for a long time, because Zhao Ziliang appointed him to lead the 20,000 tribal troops, which was also a training for him.
The other tribal leaders were quite confidant in letting him be the leader, so from Beiting to here, the leaders were quite obedient.
No one was intentionally causing trouble.
After arranging the camping, Zhao Hu was about to take his soldiers to the camp to inspect the sentries and patrol matters.
Unexpectedly, the leaders of various tribes came to join forces.
Zhao Hu wondered: "Why are all the leaders coming here together?
What's the matter?"
The leaders of the Axijie tribe, Axijie Qianquan and Axijielin, said at the same time: "It's not appropriate to talk outside this tent.
The general didn't invite me to wait in and sit down to talk."
Zhao Hu had no choice but to open the tent curtain and said: "Everyone, please" Everyone found a place to sit down in the tent.
Zhao Hu sat at the head and asked, "Why did the leaders come to Zhao?"
Axijie Qianquan said: "General Zhao, we all know that the big cannibals captured Hengluosi City, and now all our troops are here.

If the big cannibals attack eastward, all our territory will be filled with old, weak, women and children.
How to resist" Axijielin also said: "Yes, although my territory is not the closest to Hengluosi City, it is not far away.
This time, I brought all the capable soldiers in the tribe.
Almost all of them are old and weak.
If the Great Eaters want to attack eastward at this time, they may be able to attack Suiye City in one go.
General Zhao's territory is also on the attack route of the Great Eaters.
Isn't General Zhao worried?"
Other tribal leaders also echoed: "Yes, yes."
Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?"
A Xijie Qianquan said: "We want to ask General Zhao to see Gao Xianzhi and ask him to order us tribal troops to go first.
We will march as quickly as possible to Hengluosi to contain the Dashi army.
In this way, they will Don't dare to go eastward, wait for Gao Xianzhi to bring the main force over, and then we will fight the Dashi Army decisively."
Zhao Hu looked at the other tribal leaders and asked, "Do you all mean this?"
Everyone nodded and said yes.
Among them, Ge Shukun from the Ge Shu tribe said: "Yes, we all think so.
The food army has already arrived at our door.
If we are not impatient, then we still "Human?
Your General Zhao's wife and children are also in the territory.
Now you have brought out all the soldiers and horses from the territory.
How can you resist the attack of the food army without soldiers and horses in the territory?"
After hearing this, Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "Chiefs, I don't think so.
We still don't know the specific situation of the Great Food Army in Hengluosi City.
It stands to reason that the Great Food Army is advancing too fast.
They have come from afar.
They should be very tired physically and mentally.
Unless they are all iron men, otherwise, no one would come all the way here.
There is no need to rest and recuperate.
If it is you, can you bear it?
So I speculate that they should rest and recuperate in Hengluosi City.
This takes time.
This is the first and second.
If the Great Food Army's current strength in Hengluosi City is far If there are more than 20,000 of us, even if we rush over first, we will only die.
The food army can go first Encircle and annihilate us, and then deal with Gao Xianzhi's main force.
If we do this, we will automatically send the sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Third, I think the Food Army will not and dare not attack eastward now, because of the existence of our 70,000-strong army.
If the Food Army At this time, marching eastward, aren't they worried that we will surround Hengluosi City and cut off their retreat?
Not all people are fools, and their generals will not be so stupid waiting for us to cut off their retreat.
Even if they want to march eastward from Hengluosi, they must defeat our 70,000 horses.
I believe Gao Xianzhi The general must have taken these factors into consideration.
He will not let you go first, so don’t worry."
Upon hearing Zhao Hu's analysis, the leaders of the tribes suddenly felt as if the sun had cleared the clouds.
These people were not fools to be leaders, and they quickly understood the key.
Everyone knew that Hengluosi City was the key, and both sides were afraid that Let's compete here.
After everyone talked nonsense, they dispersed.
Zhao Hu couldn't help but shook his head as he sent these people away, and couldn't help but mutter: "They are all a bunch of reckless people."

In the southeast corner of the camp, the camping ground of the Geluolu tribe is located here.
As soon as the powerful leader Ge Yan returned to the tent, two tribal soldiers escorted a man in a black cloak and walked in.
One of the tribal soldiers Report: "Great Khan, this man is sneaking around outside our camp.
He is not a good person at first glance.
He must have an agenda.
We have arrested him.
Please come to his rescue, Great Khan."
Ge Yan succeeded Lu Li as the leader of the Ge Luo Lu Ta Strength Department after Zhao Ziliang led the army to defeat Lu Li.
He was a skinny old man with wrinkles on his face that were thicker than the bark of an old tree.
Much more.
Seeing that the captured person's entire appearance was covered by a cloak and hat, he frowned and said, "Take off his hat."
The tribal soldier on the left immediately reached out and lifted the hat covering the head of the man in black, revealing the face of a Western cannibal.
Ge Yan was shocked, "big cannibal" But he saw the big food man saluting him with the Turkic etiquette he was familiar with, and said in Turkic language: "That's right, I am Mu De, the secretary of General Ziyad, the leader of the food army, and I have met the Khan."
The Geluolu people are originally Turks, one of the nine tribes of Tiele, and they also speak Turkic language.
Ge Yan was surprised to see the big cannibal here, but he did not expect that this big cannibal not only understands Turkic etiquette, but also understands Turkic etiquette.
Also proficient in Turkic language.
Suddenly, Ge Yan's expression changed, he pointed at Mu De and shouted: "How courageous are you?
Now that you and I are enemies, you are so courageous that you sneaked into our army camp to spy on the military situation.
Aren't you afraid of death?
Come on, take this."
The big cannibal was escorted to see General Zhao."
Mudd was immediately escorted by two tribal soldiers and turned around to leave, but Mudd said: "If Khan doesn't feel that the Geluolu people will perish sooner or later due to lack of living space if they are compressed at the foot of Jinshan Mountain, just ask them to send me away."
Go to the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army."
Ge Yan was stunned by these words.
He quickly reacted and said immediately: "Come back."
Mulder was escorted back again.
Ge Yan frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Mulder smiled and said: "Is it possible that Khan can't bear to part with a glass of water and wine?"
Ge Yan looked at Mu De and waved to the two soldiers: "Go down and bring some wine and meat."
"Yes, Khan" The food and wine were quickly delivered.
Ge Yan asked Mu De to sit down and asked: "Mu De, please tell me the reason for your visit."
Mu De ignored him and only focused on eating and drinking.
After he had finished eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth and asked, "I heard that the Geluolu people have a grudge against the Tang State.
We, the cannibals, are very aware of the grudges between the Geluolu people and the Tang State." , doesn’t Khan want to take revenge or you don’t want to leave that suppressed area and find a fertile land for grazing and living again?”
Of course, Ge Yan cannot be moved by the matter of revenge.
In fact, Ge Yan has no hatred against the Tang Dynasty.
The two former leaders who have hatred are Lu Li and Wu Li, but they both died in the hands of Zhao Ziliang.
He is concerned about Mu De's back.
In a word, find a place with rich water and grass, and leave the place at the foot of Jinshan Mountain that is suppressed and unable to move.
Ge Yan said calmly: "Tell me what you want to do."
When Mulder heard that he could talk, he was overjoyed, but did not show it.
He said: "When we have the final decisive battle with the Tang army, please ask the Khan to suddenly attack the Tang army from behind."
Ge Yan sneered and said: "If the main force of the Tang army is attacked from both sides, it will inevitably defeat the cannibals.
This is a good plan."
Mulder smiled and said: "Yes, that's what we plan to do, but we are willing to pay enough to make Khan's heart beat.

As long as Khan agrees, you can put forward any conditions, as long as we, the cannibals, can handle it."
After saying that, Mulder took out a piece of sheepskin from his arms, which was a map.
He pointed at the map and said: "Khan, please look, this large area is the land of Sogdia, although there are many Sogdians living there now."
Here, but there are still many places that are uninhabited, with fertile water and grass, and two rivers in the north and south.
You can choose to graze anywhere.
In addition, you can also mention other conditions, such as cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, gold, silver and jewelry. , women, you can mention them, you can have as many as you want.”
When Ge Yan heard this, his dim old eyes suddenly lit up.
He gasped and asked, "Is this true?"
Mulder vowed: "We cannibals believe in Allah, and Allah makes each of us honest."
Ge Yan immediately drew a big circle on the map with his finger and said: "I want this to be the territory of our Geluolu people.
In addition, I also want 20 carts of gold and silver, 50,000 cattle, and 100,000 sheep." , 50,000 horses, 5,000 young women.”
Mu De was overjoyed, but his face made a look of pain, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, as long as Khan cooperates with us to defeat the Tang army, this area will belong to you Geluolu people, and other things you need will also I will pay you in full after this war is over":
