After sending the eunuchs away, Zhao Ziliang immediately prepared to dispatch troops.
Six days later, on May 23, all the troops were ready.
This time, Zhao Ziliang mobilized 2,000 troops from the Desert Army and Tianshan Army, and another 2,000 from Hanhai. military draw He mobilized 10,000 people, carried enough food and grass, and set off to the west.
The accompanying officials included Cen Shen, Gao Shi, and Dugujun, and the generals included Li Sheng, Pugu Huai'en, and five of the Eighteen Tornado Horsemen.
Now these Everyone is a general in charge of the army.
The civil servants left Liu Tiao and Zheng San to take charge of government affairs on his behalf in Tingzhou.
Military affairs were managed by Zhao Hu, Wang Can, Chen Qing and others, assisted by Wei Meng, the desert army envoy, and Bai Xiaode, the Tianshan army envoy.
After the 14,000-strong army arrived at Xilin Shouchu, they took away 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry from Xilin Shouchu.
After passing Xilin Shouchu, the entire army had 20,000 horses, including 12,000 cavalry and 8 infantry.
Thousands, infantry also ride horses, All the food, grass and baggage were carried by mules, horses and carriages, so the march was extremely fast.
It took less than half a month to set off from Xilin Shouchou and arrive at the capital of Kang State, where the city was built.
This kind of march speed was unimaginable before. .
After Zhao Ziliang led his army to leave, Zhao Hu, Wang Can, Chen Qing and others began to recruit soldiers according to Zhao Ziliang's instructions before leaving.
The number of recruits was 10,000, including 5,000 Han soldiers and 5,000 tribal soldiers.
Han soldiers were recruited from the local area.
Recruiting among the Han people, and recruiting Fan soldiers from among the herdsmen of various tribes, Zhao Ziliang decided to recruit the remaining 10,000 people from the countries in the Western Regions after arriving in Kang State.
Cao Lingzhong was shocked when Zhao Ziliang suddenly led 20,000 cavalry to Samo to build the city again.
Before he saw Zhao Ziliang, he even wondered whether the imperial court was going to attack the country of Dashi.
When Zhao Ziliang led his army to the city of Sajujian, Cao Lingzhong went out to greet him.
The two of them chatted for a while among the thousands of troops.
Cao Lingzhong asked, "I heard that General Zhao has been promoted to the governor of Beiting and the governor of Beiting.
Congratulations again in the end."
Cen Shen laughed at the side and said: "The news about General Cao has been out of date for a long time.
My commander-in-chief is now a censor and a champion general."
The Protector of Beiting is a third-rank official, while the Jiedushi is only a temporary official position and has no rank.
Zhao Ziliang is not only a military commander, but as the Protector of Beiting and the Jiedushi of Beiting Camp, he is also in charge of the military and political affairs of Beiting, so he must have a civilian presence.
Body, the censor Zhongcheng is The rank of civil servants and the rank of champion general are military ranks, and they are all of the third rank.
If you do not add the rank of censor doctor and champion general, you can only manage the tribes in Beiting in name, but have no right to interfere with the internal military and political affairs of the Jiedushi government.
After all, the name What is not right is not fair.
Cao Lingzhong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Congratulations, I wonder why Marshal Zhao brought so many troops this time?
Is the imperial court intending to attack the Dashi Kingdom?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "This is not the place to talk.
General Cao won't invite me to the city to talk."
Cao Lingzhong hurriedly said: "See how rude I am because I only care about talking, Marshal Zhao please" Twenty thousand Tang troops camped outside the city, and Zhao Ziliang took Cen Shen and Gao Shi with him.
Dugujun and his personal escort followed Cao Lingzhong into the city.
Arriving at a palace in the palace, this was the palace that Zhao Ziliang used as the headquarters of the Chinese army.
After Zhao Ziliang left, Cao Lingzhong continued to use it.
At Cao Lingzhong's insistence, Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat.
Soon soldiers came over to serve tea, and many Anxi Army generals accompanied him.
Zhao Ziliang held a tea cup and said to Cao Lingzhong: "General Cao, the emperor has an imperial edict, but This imperial edict can only be known to you for the time being, so please stay away."
Cao Lingzhong did not dare to neglect, and immediately drove out all the Anxi Army generals.
Zhao Ziliang then handed the imperial edict to Cao Lingzhong.
Cao Lingzhong took it and read it quickly, and said happily: "Fortunately, Cao listened to Marshal Zhao's words and was not in a hurry.
Withdraw troops Return to Anxi, otherwise we still don’t know how to bring these kings to Chang’an.
But this matter is a bit difficult to handle now.

The kings of all countries have already returned to their own territories.
Shouldn’t we lead the army to capture them?
will force them to rebel.”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Of course you can't do this.
Doing this will undoubtedly cause more troubles.
General Cao can send people to inform these kings and ask them to come to Kang State to discuss matters.
Other than that, don't say anything else, just the imperial decree."
The content has not been leaked yet, so they must not know the truth and they dare not come.”
Cao Lingzhong was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Shuai Zhao's words are very good, and the general will act accordingly."
The kings of various countries soon received the news that Zhao Ziliang led an army of 20,000 and came to Samoji City again.
These kings also speculated that this time Zhao Ziliang led an army to come, maybe the imperial court wanted to raise troops to attack the Dashi Kingdom.
The news was quite scary, because if the Tang Dynasty wanted to raise troops to attack the Great Food Country, small countries like them would definitely send troops to assist, and they would also have to bear the food and fodder for all the large armies.
Half a month later, on June 22, the kings of various countries came to Samo to build the city anxiously.
When the kings saw Zhao Ziliang this time, they felt that Zhao Ziliang was more powerful than before, so they were all trembling with fear, lest they do something wrong and make Zhao Ziliang mad at them.
"I'll wait to see Zhao Shuai" "Masters of the country, please forgive me."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand, looked at everyone and said: "Masters of the country, I have received the emperor's order when I came here this time.
I invite you to go to Chang'an.
The emperor wants to see you and talk to you.
Lords of the country, reminisce about the past."
The princes were shocked and confused after hearing this, and their expressions kept changing.
However, Zhao Ziliang and Cao Lingzhong sat firmly on their chairs, drinking tea and watching everyone's reactions.
The leader of Kang State gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to ask: "It turns out that the emperor wanted to invite me to Chang'an to reminisce about the past, but I didn't know that Marshal Zhao was coming with 20,000 elite cavalry."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The imperial court has decreed that all the affairs of the Zhaowu Kingdom will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate.
The Anxi Protectorate will no longer be in charge of the affairs of the Zhaowu Kingdom.
This time, the commander led his army here to replace Cao Cao.
General, and General Cao will soon lead the Anxi army to return to Anxi.
West, you and others will also go to Anxi with General Cao.
After arriving in Anxi, General Cao will settle down the army and escort the princes to Chang'an to meet the emperor with only a small number of soldiers and horses.
General Cao will personally protect the princes and princes.
We don’t have to worry about safety issues at all.”
The leader of the Cao Kingdom asked cautiously: "I wonder when General Cao will set off?"
Cao Lingzhong said: "Within five days" The leader of the Cao Kingdom hurriedly said: "Since there are still five days, why don't you return to the Cao Kingdom first?
Wait for the little king to hand over the affairs of the state to the ministers and wait for General Cao to lead the army to the Cao Kingdom before setting off with the army."
The new leader of Shi State, the leader of He State, and the leader of Mi State also said: "Yes, since there are still five days, we will hurry back to the ministers to explain the state affairs before returning.
The time should be enough."
Before Cao Lingzhong could say anything, Zhao Ziliang said categorically: "No, your countries are far or near from here.
If you have to go back to your country to explain your state affairs, what happened on the way and how long it will be delayed?
Who can guarantee that you will be able to return here in five days?"
You can't return on time, General Cao Since the year and month have come, don’t run back and forth to avoid trouble.
After you leave, I will send someone to inform your domestic ministers and let them handle it themselves.
You will live in the palace for these few days.
Don’t wander around casually, lest you be targeted by assassins from the Big Food Country.”
The leaders of the country were frightened, and the new leader of Anguo begged for mercy: "Shuai Zhao, this is too urgent.
Besides, how can I leave at will without explaining the state affairs clearly?
After we leave, won't there be chaos in the country?"

Zhao Ziliang shouted: "What kind of chaos is this?
I have 20,000 elite cavalry sitting here.
Who among the ministers dares to mess up?
Everything will be done step by step and there will be no problems.
If there is really someone messing up, I think he is impatient to live." " The princes were so frightened and panicked by Zhao Ziliang's scolding that they were all trembling with fear and did not dare to speak out loud.
Zhao Ziliang stared at the princes closely and said: "Mo Feier and others do not want to go to Chang'an to meet the emperor."
The heads of the kingdoms were even more frightened, and sweat was dripping from their heads.
Zhao Ziliang sneered and said: "You should know that not everyone who wants to see the emperor can see him, but there is no one who the emperor wants to see, unless he is dead."
Unable to hold on any longer, all the princes bowed down one after another and shouted: "We are willing to follow General Cao to Chang'an to meet the emperor."
On June 27, Zhao Ziliang sent away the Anxi army led by Cao Lingzhong and the leaders of the Zhaowu kingdoms, and immediately summoned the generals and military officials to discuss matters.
In the palace where Sa Mo built the city, Zhao Ziliang presided over the meeting.
Under the watchful eyes of the generals and officials, Zhao Ziliang said: "What we have to do now is not to establish the Taixi Protectorate first, but to control the situation of the entire Sogdia.
This land of Sogdia except Kang, An, Cao, Shi, and Mi In addition to the nine surnames of Zhaowu, He, Huoxun, Wudi and Shi, there are also Dong'an, Bi, Nasebo and Bahanna attached to them. , the current military strength of each country is not large, but it cannot withstand the large number of small countries.
We must divide our troops for garrison in advance.
The countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu are slightly larger, so they need to send more troops.
The other small countries are slightly smaller, so they can send less troops to garrison.
After the army arrives, it must immediately control the local garrison, especially the generals of the local garrison, and make them obey orders.
Therefore, those who disobey orders will be executed on the spot, and new generals will be appointed until we can control the local garrisons.
After we control the garrisons in various Sogdian countries, we can then exchange defense zones among them.
For example, Cao Jun will be transferred Go to the State of Shi to garrison, transfer the army of Shi to garrison in Anguo, transfer the army of An to garrison in the state of Shi, transfer the army of He to garrison in Anguo.
To garrison in the state of Kang, to transfer the Kang army to the state of Cao, etc.
In short, it is to transfer the original armies of each country to garrison in other countries.
Without the support of the people of the country, the armies of the Sogdian countries will be like rootless Ping, in addition, the food, grass and ordnance they need are controlled and distributed by our army, so they will not be able to make a big splash."
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, the generals and officials all praised this method as an excellent way to control the West.
If this method is adopted, it will only take a year and a half to firmly control all parts of the West in the hands of our army.
Next, Zhao Ziliang discussed with the generals and officials how to allocate troops to control the garrisons of various countries.
After discussing for a whole morning, they finally decided.
In the afternoon of the same day, two-thirds of the 20,000 Tang troops who had built the city were divided into more than a dozen.
Two teams went to various countries in Sogdia to garrison
