On the morning of July 18th, Zhao Ziliang prepared to move the Chinese army's marching headquarters to Samatjian City.
However, the specific location of the Chinese army's marching headquarters was difficult to determine, including Dugu Jun, the military judge, Gao Shi, the military recorder, and Chen Qing, the marching commander.
During the construction of the city and the recent defense of the city during the occupation of Samad, the cannibals severely demolished the houses in the city in order to collect enough defense materials.
Now, except for the royal palace, there is no larger house in the city.
Zhao Ziliang was currently in the large tent of the military camp outside the city, listening to the generals' reports on the progress of the battle after they invaded the city last night and their comfort to the people in the city.
"At the quarter hour of the battle, the fighting in the city basically stopped.
Our army killed 7,254 people of the Dashi Army, captured 6,388 people of the Dashi Army, and captured the servants of the Dashi Army.
Six thousand eight hundred and seventy-two people, including the able-bodied men, were released.
All the Kangguo people who were imprisoned by the food army in the city were also rescued and allowed to go home.
The weapons, horses, food and grass seized have not been fully calculated yet," Bai Xiaode said After that, he stepped aside.
Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Li Sheng and asked, "Have you still not caught up with Bo Xilin and Ziad in front?"
Li Sheng stood up and clasped his fists and said: "General, when the Jingqi sent to pursue them received the news, it was too late.
They chased for fifty miles overnight and it was already dawn, but they still couldn't catch up, so they had to turn back."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "In which direction did they go?"
"The pursuing Jingqi came back and reported that Bo Xilin and Ziad had gone to the direction of the United States.
Now the United States, Shi State in the south and An State in the southwest are still under the control of the Dashi Army."
Wang Can, who was in charge of intelligence, stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, according to the information we have received, Dashi still has about 4,000 troops in Mi, Shi and An.
They should all be elite cavalry."
Zhao Ziliang lowered his head to look at the map on the desk, made a few gestures on the map with his fingers, and asked without looking up: "Where is Cao Lingzhong's department now?"
Bian Lingcheng knew the things about Cao Lingzhong best.
After all, he was the supervisor of the army.
He said: "He is leading the army to sweep away the food army in He country."
After looking at the map for a while, Zhao Ziliang leaned on the backrest and said: "This general is still thinking of blocking Bingbo Xilin on his way back to Dashi Country.
It seems that it is too late.
Now we have several things to do: First, to appease the people of the countries in the Western Regions.
After the cannibals came, they left the bones exposed in the wild. , there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, the local people hate the big food people to the bone.
Now our army of the Tang Dynasty is here again.
I don’t want the local people to regard our army as the same as the big food army.
Master Bian, you are The emperor's special envoy, it is up to you to discuss with the heads of the countries how to appease the people of the Western Regions."
Although Bian Lingcheng did not deal with Zhao Ziliang, this was a business matter after all, and it was not good for him to deliberately go against Zhao Ziliang at this time, so he agreed: "Yeah."
Lord of the Western Regions Zhao Ziliang ignored Bian Lingcheng's attitude and continued: "Second, send six thousand Qingqi to follow Bingbo Xilin to take over Miguo, Shiguo and Anguo."
As soon as Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, all the generals in the big tent stood up and asked for orders, expressing their willingness to lead troops to take over the countries.
Bo Xilin and others were worried that the Tang army was pursuing too closely behind and would definitely kill the troops stationed in the country of Mi and Shi.
The large food cavalry of Guohe Anguo were taken away.
It is impossible to take away the stolen property in a hurry.
These stolen properties will definitely be kept.
This is a fat and good job.
Who is not greedy?
There was no Anxi cavalry here at this time.
All the Anxi cavalry were taken away by Cao Lingzhong, leaving only the infantry.
It was impossible to use infantry to pursue and defeat Bo Xilin's Dashi cavalry, so none of the Anxi generals came forward to ask for orders.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the generals who stood up to ask for orders.
They were all Beiting generals under his command.
He weighed it up and said, "Bai Xiaode took two thousand fine cavalry to take over the country of Mi.
Pugu Huai'en took two thousand fine cavalry to take over Shi."

Guo, Li Sheng took two thousand fine cavalry to take over An Guo."
The three of them were overjoyed and quickly clasped their fists and said, "No!"
Zhao Ziliang said again: "Huai'en, you have one more task, which is to occupy the Iron Gate Pass in the south of the Shi Kingdom.
This Iron Gate Pass is a majestic and dangerous place.
Controlling it will control the passage from the Zhaowu Kingdom southward to Tochara. , originally owned by the Tocharians, the Food Army took it from the Tocharians a few days ago.
If our army controls Iron Gate Pass, they can go south to the Tocharians at any time.
Do you understand?"
Pugu Huai'en asked: "General, if Tiemen Pass is reoccupied by the Tocharians just after the big cannibals have withdrawn, what will the general do?"
Zhao Ziliang's eyes widened, he slapped the case and said angrily: "I will let you occupy Iron Gate Pass.
No matter who is occupying it now, you just need to seize it.
Don't you understand the military order that I understand so clearly?"
Pugu Huai'en was so frightened that he shrank his neck and muttered: "Aren't the last generals afraid of causing disputes between the two countries?"
Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "Whether it will cause disputes between the two countries is not something you should consider.
Since you have doubts, you should not go to Xuan Er on this errand.
You can lead two thousand fine cavalry to take over Shi Guo and occupy the iron gate."
It must be closed, but it cannot prohibit business travel.”
Xuan Er stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Take orders."
Zhao Ziliang waved to several people.
Li Sheng and Xuan Er were the first to clasp their fists and salute, then turned and left.
Bai Xiaode turned his head and looked at Pu Gu Huaien, then at Zhao Ziliang, and opened his mouth to say something about Pu Gu Huaien.
A kind word, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He could only sigh secretly in his heart, bowed to Zhao Ziliang with fists in his hands, then turned and left.
Pugu Huai'en also exited the tent, looking lost.
Bai Xiaode hadn't gone far yet when he heard a sigh behind him.
He stopped and turned his head to look, and quickly walked back to pull Pugu Huai'en to a secluded place.
Pointing at him, he said with a look of hatred and indifference: "You, you are so good, why do you talk so much?
Now you know the consequences of talking too much, right?"
Pugu Huai'en looked aggrieved and said: "I'm afraid it's not my talkativeness that's why the general won't let me take this mission."
Bai Xiaode frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Pu Guhuaien said: "You are all people close to the general.
If there is any benefit, the general will naturally think of you first.
How can I, a foreigner, compare with you?
The general will of course be willing to get closer to you."
Bai Xiaode was immediately furious and reprimanded: "How can you think that the general treats us all equally and never treats us differently?
Are you turning a blind eye to it?
You said you are a foreigner, don't you think I am not a foreigner?"
Servant Huai En said: "You are the general's personal soldier.
You have been guarding the general for many years.
Of course the general is close to you."
Bai Xiaode's eyes widened when he heard this.
He pointed at the servant with a trembling finger and said, "If you want to talk about closeness, in fact, you and I are closer to the general than anyone else.
You and I are the general's Students, the relationship between students and their husbands in the Central Plains is like that between children and parents.
Do you understand?
Do you know the real reason why the general did not give you this mission?"
Pugu Huai'en wondered: "Isn't the real reason the difference between closeness and distance?"

"Fart!"
Bai Xiaode was furious, "The real reason why the general canceled your mission is because you have too many thoughts in your heart.
You are a leading general, and you actually questioned the general's military order.
No matter who is in this big tent, Even sitting inside and commanding an army will not tolerate the existence of people like you, and You are still standing here properly because you are a student of the general, otherwise you would have been dragged out and beheaded in public, do you understand?
And as a student of the general, you not only did not uphold his authority, but instead demolished him, you Say what you want to do.
Is this the proper attitude a student should have towards his teacher?"
Pugu Huai'en opened his mouth, but was speechless.
After sighing, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
At this time, in the big tent, Gao Shi said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, there are almost no intact houses in the city.
If the Chinese army's headquarters is moved to the city, only the palace is the most suitable, but".
Zhao Ziliang understood what Gao Shi meant.
The Kingdom of Kang was the palace of King Kang.
In a sense, it could also be said to be a palace that only kings could live in.
If Zhao Ziliang placed the headquarters of the Chinese army in the palace, would it be a violation of some taboos?
Zhao Ziliang didn't care about this.
This was not the Central Plains, but a foreign country.
So what if he stayed in the palace?
He didn't stay in the palace of Emperor Li Longji.
As long as King Kang had no objection, he wouldn't bother with these so-called taboos.
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Lord Kang who was standing on the left, and asked: "Master Kang, I want to lend you a palace to serve as a camp for the Chinese army.
What do you think?"
Lord Kang quickly stood up and saluted and said: "General, what are you talking about?
Although the palaces in the palace are not big, they are many in number.
The general can use them as he likes."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Gao Shi, and said, "Since Lord Kang has agreed, you should do this quickly."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang said to the kings of the Zhaowu Kingdom: "There is nothing for you here.
You can go back first.
Someone will tell you to enter the city with the army later."
The heads of the various countries bowed and left one after another, each going back to their respective camps.
Bian Lingcheng wanted to discuss matters with these heads of state to appease the people, so he also left.
After Zhao Ziliang waited for these people to leave, he said to Dugujun: "The war here is almost over.
Even if there is still war, it is a small-scale war and will not affect the overall situation.
Sir, please write a good report to the court for me.
Before the good news is reported, At the end, still We should ask the imperial court how to deal with the kings of the Zhaowu Kingdom.
After all, they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty when the Great Eater arrived and attacked the Anxi Army together with the Great Eater Army.
If they are not dealt with, I am afraid that they will be punished.
It will happen again in the future."
Dugujun cupped his hands and said, "This is easy."
After saying that, Dugujun picked up a writing brush and started writing on the spot.
He quickly finished writing the victory report and showed it to Zhao Ziliang to read it over.
Zhao Ziliang approved it, signed his name and stamped it, and after sealing it, he sent out three The messenger rushed to Chang'an day and night, and was sent with him a separate memorial written by him regarding the establishment of a protective palace in the Zhaowu Kingdom and the actual rule here
