The morale of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army who had updated their equipment has been greatly improved.
The new equipment is much stronger than the old equipment in terms of lethality and defensive capabilities.
The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Beiting Army has been improved by a level.
The equipment rate of the new equipment has reached One hundred percent, every soldier of the Beiting Army has a suit of armor.
The previous equipment rate was only 60%.
This improvement and change has proved that the Beiting Army has made a big step forward in the manufacturing capabilities of equipment and weapons.
In November of the 11th year of Tianbao, the Caliph Abbas was seriously ill and unable to govern.
His younger brother and uncle were secretly fighting for power.
The two sides were fighting fiercely.
As a result, the Kingdom had no time to expand.
The news was completely After the confirmation, Zhao Ziliang reported to the emperor and recommended Dugujun as the deputy governor and Gao Shi as the judge of the governor's palace.
He recommended Xuan Yi as the envoy of soldiers and horses and Pugu Huai'en as the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses.
These people would temporarily handle the military and political affairs of the Zhengtai West Protectorate.
He himself led Cen Shen, Li Sheng, Xuan Wu and others to lead an army of ten thousand to the north.
Hengluosi, the military garrison of the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Taishi Protectorate was responsible for the remaining 10,000 veterans of the Beiting Army, 10,000 new troops, and the original 12,000 Sogdian troops.
On the eighth day of November, Zhao Ziliang's army set out to return north.
After the army crossed the north of the city where Samajian was built, Zhao Ziliang reined in his horse, turned to see off Dugujun, Gao Shi, Xuan Yi and Pugu Huai'en and said: "Send it here.
The military and political affairs of the Taixi Protectorate will be over."
I leave it to you.
The newly recruited 10,000 soldiers must be trained intensively.
In addition to tactics and combat skills, we must especially strengthen the ideological education of these newly recruited local soldiers.
Don't treat these local soldiers differently from the Beiting veterans.
This will only cause conflicts.
If something happens, send a fast horse or flying pigeon to send a message to Hengluosi City.
The relocation of the Beiting government office may begin in the early spring of next year. , all the moves will be completed by August next year.
During this period, I will stay in Hengluosi City to take charge of the city expansion matters here.
I hope you will do your best."
Everyone quickly raised their hands and saluted, saying: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, we won't dare to slack off for a moment."
"Go back, don't send me any more."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "Send the order, the army sets off and advances at a normal speed."
"Slow down, handsome, and have a pleasant journey," Dugujun, Gao Shi, Xuanyi, Puguhuaien and others waved and shouted.
Watching Zhao Ziliang's army retreat, Dugujun said to Gao Shi, Xuan Yi, Pugu Huai'en and others: "Everyone, this is the first time that we have truly been in charge of a country, and we are still governing this strange land of Sogdia.
To be honest, I am really scared in my heart, lest I mishandle the situation and cause an uncontrollable incident, thereby living up to Commander-in-Chief’s trust and expectations.”
Gao Shi smiled and said: "Sir Dugu, there is no need to be like this.
Didn't the commander-in-chief arrange the governing strategy long before he left?
We just need to follow this strategy and govern, and nothing big will happen."
Pugu Huaien shouted: "I'm afraid of a bird.
Anyone who dares to make trouble will be killed.
I'll see who dares to make trouble."
Dugujun shook his head and said: "General Pu Gu, some things can be solved without killing.
You must not act recklessly."
At the end of November, Zhao Ziliang led his army back to Hengluosi City.
Chu Ge led all the city officials and generals out of the city to greet him.
From a distance, while riding on horseback, Zhao Ziliang saw the outline of a city about ten miles long and wide standing on the bank of the Hengluosi River.
The city wall had not yet been completely built, but the outline had basically taken shape.

This was what Chu Ge had achieved in the past six months.
There were still more than ten miles away from Hengluosi City, so Chu Ge led his people to greet him.
All the generals and officials dismounted their horses and saluted in unison: "Welcome Commander-in-Chief to return to Hengluosi City."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up and mount your horses.
Let's talk as we walk."
"promise" The march of the army slowed down, and the generals and officials were talking in front.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Chu Ge, according to the current progress, how long do you think it will take to complete the construction of the city wall?"
Chu Ge replied: "It can be completed in less than three months."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang was a little surprised after hearing this and asked: "Don't watch the construction of the city wall for three months.
It has taken you more than half a year now.
I think there is still more than half of the remaining project.
How can you do it in just three months?"
Finish" Chu Ge smiled and said: "Commander Jie doesn't know.
You see, the bricks and stones used in this city wall are all fired in kilns, and the cement ash that binds the bricks and stones all needs to be fired.
Over the past six months, we have built two bricks first."
A large kiln, one for firing bricks and stones, and one for firing cement ash.
The craftsmen who built the kiln, made bricks, and fired cement ash were all captured from Tingzhou and Xilinshou.
It is said that these craftsmen The craftsmen followed Jieshuai to Hexi, Hedong and Mobei.
They knew the skills of making bricks, firing kilns and burning cement ash, so I sent people to Tingzhou to deliver the message.
Later, Wang Can sent people to send these craftsmen. , Not to mention, the fired masonry is very strong and durable, and mixed with cement ash as an adhesive, the city wall built is stronger than other materials."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Well, you can think of it.
You can think of the craftsmen coming from Tingzhou and Xilin to build the city.
This Hengluosi City will be used as the Beiting New Government Office.
The city needs to occupy a larger area and the city walls will be built."
Be taller and thicker, According to this area, although it is not as large as Chang'an City, it is several times larger than the cities of Tingzhou, Qiuci and Samat.
The city walls should be built as tall and thick as possible, but not larger than Chang'an City to avoid being blocked by others.
Criticism" "I understand" Chu Ge agreed.
When arriving near the city wall, Chu Ge pointed to the crane-shaped equipment made of long wood on the edge of the city wall and introduced: "Jie Shuai, you look at it as a labor-saving crane, which can be used to lift the baked goods.
The bricks and stones were packed in baskets and then hung up on the city wall, eliminating the need for a large amount of manpower to carry them. , only a few people can operate it, and these masons are not masons before.
Before building the city wall, they were herdsmen and farmers.
In the past few months, they have learned and practiced, and they have all transformed from herdsmen and farmers. skilled masons who built the city walls.”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay" The army was stationed outside the city and camped separately from the Tang army that was originally stationed here.
Zhao Ziliang and the accompanying officials and generals rode horses and walked around the city wall to check the progress and quality of the city wall construction.
Excavations had already been made outside the city wall.
The moat has been built, but the connection between the moat and the Ganges River has not yet been dug, so the inner part of the moat There is only a shallow layer of water, and all the soil excavated from the moat is filled inside the city wall or used to bake bricks.
Therefore, the inside of the city wall is not hollow, but filled with soil.
This can make the city wall stronger.
This Although the project is huge, more than 30,000 people were used in the entire project, more than half of whom were Dashi prisoners.
Walking along the city wall under construction to watch the construction progress, Zhao Ziliang pointed to the Dashi prisoners working hard up and down the city wall and asked: "How are these Dashi prisoners feeling?
Why do I watch them working so slowly?
They all look like He looked like he was going to die or not live.”
Chu Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Jie Shuai, they are prisoners, not common people serving as corvees.
It is impossible to expect them to work with all their strength.
We have to kill many thorns in a row to make them work harder."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Your method is wrong.

If you want to control them well, you can't let them stick together.
You must find a way to divide them and let them be scattered.
Only then will they be afraid of us and work hard.
Now they Hug together and resist you everywhere.
If you don't plan to kill them all, then there is nothing you can do about them.
Our purpose is not to kill them all, but to make them work actively."
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, Chu Ge was thoughtful and nodded: "The general will understand what Commander Ji said."
After watching around the city wall, everyone entered the city.
The old city was surrounded by the entire new city.
It is located on the westernmost side of the new city, close to the edge of the desert in the west.
It only occupies a small part.
Most of the new city is close to Hengda.
The Lois River passes through the old city and then enters the new city.
Today's new city is still a wasteland.
Only a broad, majestic and large courtyard-style building stands in the middle of the new city.
The gate is built quite grandly.
There are two mighty stone lions at the door.
On the eaves of the door No plaque has been hung yet.
Everyone dismounted at the gate.
When the four soldiers standing guard at the gate saw it, they bowed on one knee with their spears in hand.
Chu Ge introduced to Zhao Ziliang: "Jie Dushuai, this is the newly built Jiedushi Mansion.
The houses in other yamen can not be built for the time being."
However, the Jiedushi Mansion had to be built first.
It was built together with the city wall.
It has been completed for more than two months.
Now there are only some soldiers living in it to take care of safety."
"This courtyard is well built, good."
Zhao Ziliang looked up, pointed to both sides of the gate and said, "Don't hang the plaque on the eaves.
Hang the sign of Beiting Jiedu Envoy's Palace on the left, and hang the sign of Beiting on the right.
The sign for the Governor's Office was hung vertically.
I saw that the yard was big enough and there were many houses.
I simply put the Military and Horse Envoy's Office here, and added a sign for the Military and Horse Envoy's Office on the left, so that the military and government yamen would be gathered together.
Convenient to handle official business” Chu Ge promised: "Okay, we will arrange for someone to go to the festival later.
Come in, the house is sorted out."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and walked in, and others followed him into the house.
Entering the new Jiedushi Mansion, it was as Chu Ge said.
It had been fully built and decorated.
Some of the decorations and furnishings were well arranged.
The pavilions and lofts inside had been painted and decorated.
And the post-finishing work, the entire Jieduzhao mansion is very clean and tidy, without a trace of dust or sand.
This place is close to the desert, the wind and sand are strong, and there is a lot of dust, but there is not even a little dust in this mansion, which shows that the cleaning is very diligent
