After seeing Nuer off, Zhao Ziliang said to the generals and officials: "Although the Tubo people have retreated, we still cannot relax our vigilance.
Maybe this is their trick.
Xuan Shiba, take your Huya Army to investigate and find out.
Wherever Dazalukong led the Tibetan army retreated to, keep an eye on them."
Xuan Shiba stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Yes, Commander" Zhao Ziliang looked at Xuan Wu again and said: "Now Erzhu is injured, and the cavalry has not participated in the defense of the city.
They are full of physical strength and energy.
You lead three thousand cavalry to hang behind the Tibetan army, and they withdraw from a city. , you occupy a city and drive away the Tubo people who have moved here.
If they don’t leave, you will kill them.”
"Yes, Marshal" After Xuanwu and Xuanshiba left, Zhao Ziliang arranged for the officials to clean the battlefield, bury the bodies, treat the wounded, and send people to contact Shanzhou City.
As soon as Zhao Ziliang finished making arrangements, Wang Can walked in and reported: "Commander, Li Sheng has led the main force of the army and has arrived fifteen miles outside the city."
Zhao Ziliang stood up after hearing this and said: "No wonder the Tubo people are withdrawing.
Let Li Sheng speed up the march.
The soldiers have not seen meat for a long time.
Let the logistics team bring more meat and wine to reward the whole army today."
"Yes, Marshal" In the following days, Huya Army Xuan Shiba successively sent people to send news.
After the Tubo Army retreated, they first retreated to Linqiang, stayed in Linqiang for only one day, and then retreated south.
Then the Tubo Army retreated to Longqi City on the north bank of the West Sea. , Changning, Xincheng, Qilian and other towns and cities The army quickly retreated, part of it retreated to Fuqi City on the west bank of the West Sea, and the other part merged with the main force of the Tibetan army and retreated to Dafeichuan.
Only a part of the Tibetan army still occupied the front line of Shibao City, Michuan, Chishui County and other counties on the east bank of the Yellow River.
It serves as the eastern barrier to defend Dafeichuan.
After Zhao Ziliang received the news, he immediately ordered each department to advance westward and occupied Linqiang, Changning, Xincheng, Qilian, and Longqi City in turn.
A battalion of the Tang Army was ordered to quickly attack westward and occupy the two entrances and exits of Dadou Canyon and Biandoukou.
The pass on the west side of the river cut off the retreat route for Tibetan general Tieren Signoro and his troops who tried to withdraw from these two places.
On the second day of July, Zhao Ziliang led the main force of the army to Linqiang.
He sent Bai Xiaode to lead 20,000 troops from Longqi City to the west to capture the Jinyintan Prairie, and drove the Tibetan herdsmen here southward along the west coast of the West Sea.
Due to the high altitude of the terrain, The height increased, and the soldiers of the Tang Army had to camp and rest on the northwest coast of the West Sea, waiting to adapt to the terrain and climate before marching south.
On the fifth day of July, the main force of the Tang Army was stationed and deployed in Linqiang.
A steady stream of supplies was transported from Jincheng along the north bank of the Huangshui River to Linqiang.
The Tang Army officers and soldiers were trained in the Linqiang camp.
The purpose of the training was to train the soldiers.
Adapt to the climate here as soon as possible, return your body to a strong state, and increase your combat power and maintain it at its peak.
"Commander, Li Siye, Chu Ge, and the Second Young Master have all sent people to deliver news."
Wang Can walked into the tent and reported to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang, who was standing in front of the sand table, heard the voice and asked: "How are they doing now?"
Wang Can said: "Li Siye's and Chu Ge's troops have adapted to the local terrain and climate.
In the past two days, they continued to attack westward, but they were stubbornly blocked by the Tubo army.
The Tubo army took advantage of the steep terrain to control various passes. , and deployed a lot of troops and garrison equipment and materials at various passes.
However, because Li Siye and Chu Ge were marching and attacking with light equipment, they did not bring siege equipment or craftsmen, so they were unable to move forward in a short time."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Wang Can: "Give them an order to reorganize and train their troops and horses on the spot, and wait for Jincheng to send craftsmen, food, grass, ordnance and equipment.
If there is a chance, they will attack.
If there is no chance, they will confront the Tibetan army." " "Yes, Commander."
Wang Can agreed, and then said: "Since our army occupied Dadou Canyon and Biandoukou, the Tibetan army in Hexi has been unable to withdraw south from these two places.
The Second Young Master sent someone to News, the Tibetan general Iron Blade Signoro has been defeated since After they withdrew from Wuwei City, they withdrew to Panhe County.
However, after learning that our army occupied Dadou Canyon and Biandou Kou, they could only lead their army westward and attack the cities along the way, but they were blocked at Yumen Pass in Suzhou.
The second young master has already rushed the cavalry to catch up."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, keep an eye on me and report any news."

"Yes, Marshal" On July 22, good news came from Hexi.
Zhao Ting led his cavalry to catch up with the Iron Blade Sinoro who was storming Yumen Pass.
This man wanted to break through Yumen Pass and then escape from Dunhuang back to Tibet, but the Tang army defenders at Yumen Pass failed.
Although the number of people is not However, he held on for more than ten days.
When Zhao Ting arrived with his elite cavalry, he attacked the Tibetan army from behind and defeated them.
Iron Blade Signoro was beheaded on the spot, and the remaining Tubo army was not killed Even if they were captured, no one could escape.
After receiving the battle report, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered Zhao Ting to lead his army to temporarily station in Hexi, and sent troops to control the prefectures and counties in various places to rectify and punish the barbarian tribes who took advantage of the situation.
On the first day of August, Bai Xiaode led 20,000 Tang troops who had adapted to the altitude and terrain of this area to arrive at Fuqi City on the west bank of the West Sea.
They quickly built siege equipment to attack the city.
However, the Tubo army did not defend well, and Bai Xiaode's army captured Fuqi within four days of the attack.
City, killed 5,000 Tibetan troops and captured 3,000.
After the Tang army captured Fuqi City, they began to recover surrounding towns.
Most of the Qiang and Tuguhun people joined.
Bai Xiaode originally wanted to continue attacking southward, but the altitude became higher and higher as he went south.
The Tang army, which had just captured Fuqi City, could not adapt. , can only stay in place while training and waiting for Zhao Ziliang's orders.
After receiving the news, Wang Can reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Bai Xiaode on the western front can't move south for the time being.
Li Siye and Chu Ge, who can only garrison the eastern front of Fuqi City, are in a stalemate with the Tubo people.
They have fought several times in the past few days and suffered many casualties. big but no Regardless of any progress, the Tibetans occupy a very critical and dangerous place and cannot be defeated in a short time.
In addition, the Shibao City occupied by the Tibetans is still a key strategic location.
We cannot conduct a long-distance attack.
A frontal attack will cause too many casualties. big" Zhao Ziliang closed his eyes and listened to Wang Can's report.
After thinking for a long time, he said: "I understand.
You sent someone to contact Bailan King Murong Jieyan and said that I miss him and hope he can come to Qiang to meet me."
Wang Can said: "Now that the Tibetan army has blocked the north-south passage, can King Bailan survive?"
"As long as he is determined, he will get through it.
Don't forget, they are the original residents of Haixi."
"yes" In the 19th year of Tianbao, on the fifth day of October, Chang'an, Huaqing Palace.
The weather gradually became colder, which made Xuanzong's condition, which had improved somewhat, worsened.
He had to go from Daming Palace to the hot springs of Huaqing Palace.
Xuanzong was lying on the hospital bed covered with thick quilts.
Yang Yuhuan sat next to him, holding a bowl of gruel and feeding him a mouthful from time to time.
Xuanzong shook his head and didn't want to eat, so she coaxed him with sweet words.
After he took a few bites, an imperial physician on the other side was checking Xuanzong's pulse.
Prince Li Heng and several ministers in the court stood nearby and did not dare to say anything.
It had been less than half an hour since my pulse had been felt.
Xuanzong asked: "Ahem, Imperial Physician Chen, how is my condition?"
The pale-faced Doctor Chen stood up and knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I, I dare not say anything."
Although Imperial Physician Chen did not say how his condition was, everyone got bad information from his words.
Prince Li Heng and the ministers all changed their expressions.
Xuanzong seemed to know his body.
He had been ill for more than a year.
His original rosy cheeks were gone, replaced by thin and gray, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets and sunken cheeks.
His body also became She was so skinny that she couldn't even get out of bed, so she had to be feces and pee every day.
Xuanzong closed his eyes, then opened them after a long time and said: "Yuhuan and Doctor Chen stay, everyone else goes out."
After hearing the decree, Prince Li Heng, ministers and other palace maids and eunuchs all saluted Xuanzong and slowly and quietly stepped out.

Xuanzong then asked: "Mr.
Chen, how much time do I have until I grant you innocence?"
Doctor Chen hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good at academics.
Judging from your Majesty's current pulse, your Majesty's time will not exceed one month at most.
If the weather gets colder, this time will be shortened."
Although he had already expected that the outcome would not be good, Xuanzong still did not expect that his health would be so bad.
Shi Siming's rebellion had not yet been put down, the Tubo people were wreaking havoc in Longyou and Hexi, and Nanzhao was not honest.
These three Xuanzong was really worried about a major event.
He would not be at ease until he died unless these three major events were resolved.
However, his physical condition forced him to face reality.
He was afraid that he would not be able to wait until the Shi Siming Rebellion was quelled, nor could he wait to repel the Tibetan attack, let alone the Nanzhao Rebellion.
"Mr.
Chen, please go out first.
If my condition is leaked at all, I will kill your nine tribes."
Xuanzong said, waving his hand to signal Mt.
Chen to go out.
"I don't dare to resign," Imperial Physician Chen said immediately, bowed and retreated outside the hall.
Even the most noble Emperor Xuanzong couldn't help but shed tears when he learned that his life was only one month at most.
As the saying goes, "When a bird is about to die, its song is sad."
Xuanzong also cried.
Yes, this is the fear and fear of death.
Yang Yuhuan immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe Xuanzong's tears, but his own tears flowed out unsatisfactorily, "Your Majesty, what will happen to the slave family if you leave?
When Your Majesty returns to heaven, please take Yuhuan with you.
Your Majesty, when you get there By the way, I can also serve Your Majesty."
Xuanzong stretched out his withered hand and stroked Yang Yuhuan's smooth hair, and said with a smile: "Yuhuan, you really think there is a underworld in the underworld.
Don't be stupid.
These are just tricks played by the alchemists to fool people.
You still You are young and you still have a long time to live.
You were only in your twenties when you followed me.
I am already very sorry for you.
Now I am going to die. , how can I let you die?
Yuhuan, you have to live well.
After my death, you can start another life.
You can't stay in Chang'an.
As long as I die, someone will definitely be detrimental to you.
Some people did not do it back then.
They will definitely do things after I die, so you can’t stay in Chang’an, and they will arrange for you to leave here before I die
