After coming out of the Daming Palace, Zhao Ziliang said to Ma Lin and Wang Nan: "Now Hexi and Longyou have empty military defenses and are very dangerous.
This matter must not be taken lightly.
Our ancestors and our soldiers have worked hard in Hexi and Longyou for several generations."
It is not easy to get to the situation we are in today.
How many soldiers and soldiers would have lost their lives there if we, the others, knew the situation was bad and did not do anything.
Work hard.
Once there is a problem in Hexi and Longyou, how can we face those martyrs underground?
Tomorrow morning, you two will take turns to report to the class about the lack of defense forces in Hexi and Longyou.
I will hand over the letter again.
Chen memorial, the emperor will have a reason to let the ministers discuss this matter.
As long as the national policy towards Tubo and Nanzhao is determined, the rest will be easy to handle."
Ma Lin and Wang Rao clasped their fists and agreed: "Don't worry, Commander, I will do my best to handle this matter."
Duan Xiushi saw that Zhao Ziliang had arranged tasks for Ma Lin and Wang Nannan, but did not assign anything to him, so he clasped his fists and said: "Commander, what will you do in the end?
Commander, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
Zhao Ziliang asked Duan Xiushi's shoulder: "How many soldiers and horses did you bring this time?
How many infantry and cavalry did you bring?"
Duan Xiushi said: "Three thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, a total of five thousand men and horses."
"How many of these people have fought in mountain battles with Gao Xianzhi?"
"Commander, these five thousand men and horses all followed General Gao to fight against Xiaobolu and Jieshi Kingdom.
They also followed General Feng Changqing to fight against Dabolu.
They fought against Dashi Army in Hengluosi that year.
These are The men and horses have all met the commander before, and they all know him."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, now you are the only one of our troops who has enough experience in mountain warfare.
Your task is to strengthen the training of your troops and maintain the best condition and morale at all times.
This The commander may use you at any time.
As long as you perform well in battle, no one can take it away from you.
It’s easy to get promoted and make a fortune."
Duan Xiushi cupped his fists and said: "Take orders."
A few people were talking, and their soldiers and generals came to greet them one after another.
Among them, a tall and strong man of about thirty years old with a sturdy back and strong waist came over and saluted several people with clasped fists: "Have you seen me, Marshal?
general" This person attracted Zhao Ziliang's attention and interest and asked: "What is your name and how do you recognize me?"
Duan Xiushi quickly introduced: "Commander, his name is Wei Boyu.
He is a general of all the guards outside the army.
He is a cavalry general under the command of the last general.
He commanded two thousand cavalry.
He was responsible for the force when he was young.
After joining the army in Anxi, he went through several battles.
Promoted to the rank of General of the Guards outside the Yuan Dynasty based on his military exploits."
"Oh."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Boyu, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad, he has a strong body and strong arm strength.
He is a warrior."
Wei Boyu looked so excited that he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much for the compliment, Commander."
Zhao Ziliang said again: "Follow Duan Xiushi and work hard.
Now is the time for the imperial court to hire people.
It needs generals like you who can conquer the war to put down the rebellion and protect the safety of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Boyu said quickly: "The final general will definitely live up to the commander's high expectations."
"Haha, good" Zhao Ziliang returned to his home in Chang'an that night and wrote hard all night long.
It was not until midnight that he finished writing the memorial for tomorrow's court.
Although he had been working hard to practice calligraphy over the years, he had no choice but to spend most of his time on military affairs.
This calligraphy The writing is much better, but when it comes to literary talent, even he himself doesn't dare to praise it.
"It seems that I have to find a swordsman and penman to catch the sword for me, otherwise I won't be able to get this memorial."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the note he had written and couldn't help but shook his head.
After thinking about it, he would submit it to the court tomorrow.
Forget it, we'll talk about finding the killer later.
August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On this day in previous years, Chang'an City was very lively.
But this time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang'an City seemed a lot more depressed.
This was all the result of the war.
The rebels entered the city.
Later, Chang'an City was looted.
Now Chang'an City is poor in supplies and no longer prosperous.
Many foreign and domestic merchants have fled long ago.
Chang'an City is no longer as dazzling as before, and it is crowded with people every festival.
Before dawn, Zhao Ziliang got up at Yinshi and practiced martial arts in the yard for an hour until his whole body was dripping with sweat.
At about Maoshi, he washed up, took several months of cakes, put them in his arms, and hurried on horseback with his guards.
Rush towards the imperial city.
When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, a large group of civil and military ministers had already arrived.
They gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices, while others gathered together to talk loudly.
Zhao Ziliang jumped off his horse and handed the horse to the soldiers.
At this time, Ma Lin, Wang Nanran, Duan Xiushi, Zang Xiyan, Wang Chengye, Chen Xuanli and other generals came over and said hello: "Good morning, Commander" Zhao Ziliang cupped his fists and returned the greeting with a smile: "Good morning, generals, you are already right.
Have you eaten?
Today is the first royal meeting of the Holy Emperor when he returns to Chang'an, and it will definitely not be short."
The generals shook their heads.
Wang Nan said with a grimace: "At the end of last night, I waited for inspections throughout the military camp.
I didn't go to bed until Chou.
I was woken up by the soldiers before I slept for two hours.
I was afraid of delaying the time to go to court, so I hurried over. " Wang Nannan, Ma Lin, Duan Xiushi and others went to court for the first time in their lives, and they were attending a large court meeting.
How could they dare to neglect, so they were all very nervous, and several of them stayed up all night nervously.
Zang Xiyan teased: "Is it possible that General Wang was so nervous that he didn't sleep all night because he was going to court for the first time?"
Wang Rao smiled bitterly and said, "That's right.
I'm worried that if I make a mistake in the court, I'll lose face and it won't look good."
Duan Xiushi said at this time: "After hearing what the commander said, I'm really hungry.
If the meeting lasts until noon, then my old Duan will starve to death.
I'm a big-bellied man, and I have to eat five kilograms in one meal.
Meat and five large cakes are enough to barely feed me."
Zhao Ziliang took out a pack of mooncakes from his arms that he had picked up when he left home.
He gave one to each person and said, "I brought a pack of mooncakes to satisfy my hunger on the road, but I forgot about them for a while.
Since none of the generals have eaten, , then let’s divide it up, one for each person, it’s better to have some belly padding.”
When the generals saw this, they all said: "This is a good thing."
So each of the generals took a moon cake and unwrapped the oil paper and began to chew it.

The other civil servants next to them felt hungry after seeing it.
But at this time, they could no longer run home to eat, so they could only hold on.
When Mao hour arrived, the imperial city gate opened, and the officials lined up in two teams according to their official positions and walked into the imperial city, led by the eunuchs to the Daming Palace.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, they learned that the emperor had not come yet.
The eunuchs did not dare to open the palace door.
The ministers could only wait outside the palace.
They waited until the sun went up and the ministers were all hungry.
Their stomachs growled.
Some ministers with stomach problems were so hungry that they vomited sour water.
Some were so hungry that they could only squat on the ground holding their stomachs.
Hanyuan Hall is a place where major ceremonies and court meetings are held.
It is generally closed on weekdays.
It is only on big days and court meetings like today that they are held here.
After the sun rose, the temperature rose sharply.
The ministers outside the palace were all sweating profusely.
They were hot, hungry and thirsty.
Fortunately, the eunuchs brought some water, and some of them were thirsty and hungry.
Regardless of their status, the ministers grabbed water ladles to drink water to quench their thirst.
After a while of commotion, the door of Hanyuan Hall finally opened, and the ministers walked in in neat lines and stood on the left and right sides.
Soon Xuanzong walked up to Danbi from the side door, and an eunuch shouted: "The emperor has arrived!"
All the ministers paid homage and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live my emperor" Xuanzong sat down on the throne, raised his hands and said: "Everyone is at peace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" When the ministers stood up at the two seats, Xuanzong said happily: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare and happy day in the year.
I originally thought that I would celebrate this year's Mid-Autumn Festival in Maweiyi, but I didn't expect that Zhao Qing's family would be here so soon.
The invading rebels were repelled, and the Zhao Qing family contributed a lot to this battle."
Zhao Ziliang quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this battle is not all the result of small ministers, it all depends on the lives of the soldiers."
Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "Of course I will not forget the merits of the soldiers.
It just so happened that the 100,000 spring-colored Shu brocades donated by Chengdu have arrived.
I have sent a decree to reward them all to the soldiers in front, so that they can have a good festival."
Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "On behalf of the soldiers at the front, I would like to thank Your Majesty for the generous reward."
Xuanzong nodded and continued: "Today is a festival, so we will speed up the handling of government affairs during this court meeting.
Finish it earlier and let the ministers go back to celebrate the festival with their families earlier.
I don't know if you have anything to report to your family."
Prime Minister Fang Guan came out of the classroom holding a fluorene board and said: "Your Majesty, after the Anlushan Rebellion started, many people in Hedong, Hebei and Henan fled to avoid wars and disasters.
Now the number of people who have fled into the Guanzhong area has reached 200.
There are tens of thousands of people, and we don’t know how long this counterinsurgency will last.
The longer the rebellion lasts, the more refugees there will be.
In addition, people from Jiangnan and the Central Plains will There is a continuous flow of refugees and refugees from all over the country.
These refugees and refugees have reached as many as three million.
They lack food and clothing and have no place to stay.
They will definitely cause trouble as time goes by.
In the past few days, local governments in Guanzhong have successively sent I came to report that some refugees and refugees have starved to death one after another.
If we don’t find a solution quickly, trouble will definitely arise among the refugees and refugees.”
Xuanzong frowned when he heard this and said: "Since the refugees and refugees have nothing to eat, then order the local governments to open warehouses for disaster relief, or give them porridge to satisfy their hunger.
We can't let the people starve to death."
Fang Guan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the grain collected in various places in Guanzhong has basically been taken away by the counter-rebellion army and used as military food.

Now that the country is facing a national crisis, the price of grain is rising steadily.
Many grain merchants and landowners are hoarding grain and grass to sell at a high price.
The government wants peace To set the price of grain, you have to buy grain from grain merchants and landlords, which costs several times the price.
The court will also bear a lot of financial pressure.
Now the court is in dire straits, and money is needed everywhere.
Local officials and the court I can’t even afford much money.”
Xuanzong looked at the other ministers and asked, "What solutions do you have for this matter?"
