Zhao Ziliang came to the side room.
By this time, Ma Lin had come to her senses.
She looked tired and haggard.
She had not even eaten dinner on the table.
"King" Ma Lin saw Zhao Ziliang walking in and immediately stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
Zhao Ziliang pressed his hands and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
Ma Lin sighed: "The current plan is that I can only go to Western Qin with the king.
Thank you for your love and care.
Lin is grateful.
I will rely on the king for everything in the future."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "I don't care for idlers here.
If you want to establish yourself here, you have to look at your ability and put in more effort."
"Yes, the general will definitely live up to the king's expectations, but it is a pity for the three hundred soldiers of the imperial army."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Their general enjoys the treatment of the fallen soldiers who died in the fierce battle with the Tubo army.
This is the best ending I can do.
Let's eat.
The food is getting cold.
You should rest for a while first and wait until the west."
Qin, I will arrange your position again."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang returned to the inner courtyard.
Yang Yuhuan was still talking to Princess Xinping and comforting her.
Princess Xinping, Mrs.
Meng and the two children were all dressed in mourning clothes.
There were meals on the table, and the meals were covered with dishes to keep them warm.
When all the women saw Zhao Ziliang walking in, they all stood up.
Yang Bi saw Princess Xinping still crying and said to her: "Xinping, please forgive me and take care of yourself.
The child is still young, so for the sake of the child, you must take care of yourself."
Xinping said: "Husband, I want to go back to Chang'an to keep vigil for my father."
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "You can't go back.
The late emperor ordered me to complete the handover within a month, and then I will lead my troops back to Beiting to guard.
Without the imperial edict, we will never be able to return to the Central Plains."
Princess Xinping cried even harder after hearing this.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to let Yang Yuhuan and Mrs.
Meng take the children to eat first, while he supported Princess Xinping to the boudoir to comfort her.
After Princess Xinping fell asleep from exhaustion, Zhao Ziliang came out to eat.
After dinner, the maid brought tea.
Zhao Ziliang held the tea cup and said to Yang Yuhuan: "Yuhuan, the war ahead is imminent.
I have to rush back tomorrow morning.
This You can stay in Linqiang for a while and see the nearby scenery.
You can go to Jinyintan grassland and the west coast."
After saying that, Zhao Ziliang said to Mrs.
Meng: "Third brother, if Yuhuan is here, take care of her for me and take her around."
Mrs.
Meng agreed: "Okay, husband, don't worry."
Yang Yuhuan said: "I would like to go to the Ancient Tea Horse Road at Riyue Mountain Pass to see where Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng walked when they got married."

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "This is not possible.
Although it is occupied by our army, it is at the forefront.
The Tubo army can attack at any time.
It is too dangerous.
After we defeat the Tubo army, if you want to see it again, I can send someone to pick you up then."
Yang Yuhuan also knew that she could not let her little temper run wild now.
Emperor Xuanzong was dead and her biggest backer had arrived.
She would have to rely on Zhao Ziliang to be safe and sound in the future.
She had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
On October 25, the Tang army regained all the territory under the jurisdiction of Chuihe County, and all the areas east of the Yellow River were owned by the Tang Dynasty.
Some of the remnants of the Tibetan army crossed the Yellow River and retreated to Dafeichuan on the west bank of the Yellow River to join Da Zha Lugong.
Lu Gong had 35,000 soldiers.
On October 28, Zhao Ziliang led the main force of the Tang army to cross Riyue Mountain Pass, cross the Daotang River and enter Dafeichuan.
Facing the Tang army's pressure on the border, Dazalugong, who had been cut off from support and supplies in Tibet, was faced with enemies from both sides.
Dazalukong was unable to explain to Tubo the death of Zanpu Xisongde, and civil strife broke out in Tubo because of the new king.
All forces wanted to appoint their favorite prince as the new Zanpu, and no one accepted it. , so at this time Tubo was already in chaos, and all forces began to prepare for conquests against each other to compete for the position of Xin Zanpu.
The Tibetan army's camp and the marshal's tent.
The Tibetan generals and officials in the big tent all looked melancholy.
Tubo no longer accepted them, cut off their supplies, and regarded them as traitors.
The Tang army from the north was advancing and had already entered Longyang Gorge.
I'll hit you at any time.
An official saluted Dazalu and said: "Marshal, now we can either fight to the death with the Tang army, repel the Tang army or be wiped out by the Tang army, or we can choose to surrender and surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
It is no longer possible to return to Tubo at this time.
Tubo has fallen into civil strife. , and he They have blocked our passage back to Tibet.
The dangerous passages such as Bayan Pass, Animaqing Mountain Pass, Kunlun Pass and Tanggula Pass are heavily defended.
We will not be able to capture it in a short time.
If we attack by force, the people behind us will The Tang army will definitely come and kill them."
Another official said: "Now our army only has more than 30,000 people.
We are seriously lacking in bows, arrows, armor, and weapons.
We have suffered serious losses.
The men are not full.
We used to be unable to defeat the Tang army with more than 100,000 people.
How can we defeat it now?"
In my opinion, it is better to join the Tang Dynasty than to become a marshal.
As long as the conditions are negotiated, the marshal can still be our leader.
As long as we occupy this Dafeichuan, we may not be able to make a comeback in time."
A Tibetan general said: "We have already formed a deep hatred with Zhao Ziliang.
Even if we want to surrender, will he agree to it?
Now it is no better than before.
In the past, I was strong and the enemy was weak.
Now I am weak and the enemy is strong."
"How will you know if it works or not if you don't send someone to try it?"
If he had not been forced to do anything, Dazalukong would never have agreed to send people to seek peace and surrender.
Now he was begging for mercy from his former enemies, which he could not accept psychologically.
The person who was sent came back within two days.

"Marshal, Zhao Ziliang does not agree with our conditions.
He said that surrender must be unconditional so that he can ensure the safety of us people.
He does not accept that we will still occupy the territory after the war."
Da Feichuan did not agree with the conditions of the Marshal as our leader, saying that if the Marshal and we are willing to live in Chang'an, he will agree to call off the troops and make a truce, otherwise he can only wipe out us all."
Dazalu Gong looked up to the sky and sighed: "Does the Buddha want to destroy me Dazalu Gong?"
The Dharma Realm Zen Master sitting next to him put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, almsgiver, the Buddha is compassionate.
He will only save people and will not harm them."
After hearing this, Dazalugong immediately said: "Dharma Realm Zen Master, you are from the Tang Dynasty and you are an eminent monk.
Can you go see Zhao Ziliang and persuade him to give us a way to survive?"
Other Tubo ministers and generals also said: "Yes, please invite Zen Master to visit Tangying."
The monk from the Dharma Realm was so compassionate that he couldn't resist everyone's requests, and finally agreed to go to the Tang army to plead their case for them.
In fact, he had no confidence at all.
Tang army camp.
There were still a few days before Zhao Ziliang and King Bai Lan agreed to attack the Tibetan army together.
Zhao Ziliang was not in a hurry.
After setting up camp at the entrance of Longyang Gorge, he trained his troops and horses, stocked up on food and grass, and repaired his armor and armor.
In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan set up a camp here and established the Tianjin Army.
The camp here was the headquarters of the Tianjin Army.
At this time, the camp was filled with smoke and dust.
The soldiers were galloping on their horses to practice tactics, and there were drill shouts everywhere.
The monk from the Dharma Realm was led through the camp by the captain of the camp gate.
Along the way, he saw the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, the soldiers were majestic and powerful, and the entire military camp was filled with murderous intent.
For a while, he was even more unsure of the purpose of his trip.
The monk from the Dharma Realm walked into a big tent and saw a powerful and powerful man sitting opposite him.
He immediately put his hands together and saluted: "The poor monk Dharma Realm pays homage to the king."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the Dharma Realm and raised his hand.
A soldier brought a mazaar and asked him to sit down.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Who is the master and where did he come from?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk's name is Dharma Realm, his lay name is Che, and his name is Feng Chao Tianbao.
In the ninth year of the reign of Chao Tianbao, the envoy from the Kingdom of Yibin came to the court.
The following year, the late emperor sent the envoy Zhang Taoguang and more than 40 people to escort the envoy back to the Kingdom of Yibin.
At that time, the poor monk When Ren Zuo The general of Simen Prefecture in Wei Jingzhou was appointed as the leading general of the escort.
After arriving in the Gubin Kingdom, the poor monk fell ill.
Where to shave Family, these years the poor monk studied Buddhism in the Western Regions and traveled to various countries.
Soon he came to Tubo to promote Buddhism.
By chance, he encountered the Tubo army.
The Tubo Marshal Dazalugong paid great respect to the poor monk, and the poor monk temporarily stayed.
I stayed in the Tibetan army to preach Buddhism to the Tibetan soldiers and educate them.
This time I was invited by Marshal Dazalukong to meet the king.
I hope that the king will consider the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides and turn the war into friendship."
"It turns out that the master is from our dynasty.
Although it is said that Buddhism has no national boundaries, monks should have national boundaries.
As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, the master came to make peace with the Tubo people.
Isn't it a bit unreasonable that the master is a son of my dynasty?
People are still Tubo people."

Zhao Ziliang looked at the Dharma Realm with great displeasure and said.
"Amitabha" Dharma Realm clasped his hands together and said: "The poor monk has taken refuge in our Buddha.
He is an outsider and belongs neither to the Tang Dynasty nor to Tibet."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Since the master said this, I have to ask whose food the master is eating now and whose land he is based on.
The Buddha is so good, so the master should go to his country.
The master has become a monk. , you should no longer care about worldly affairs, let alone participate in the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
Master, do you know why our dynasty wanted to destroy the Buddha several times?
Is it because of you?
On the surface, these monks claim to have converted to the Buddha, but in fact they have always wanted to influence national policies and disrupt the political situation through the higher-ups.
No wise emperor will let you do this.
Not only do you monks not engage in production, but you also occupy a large number of people.
The land and wealth spread, and the teachings spread are all thoughts that make people abandon the world.
If the people all go to chant the Buddha's name, who will produce and work?"
"Amitabha" the Dharma Realm proclaimed the Buddha's name again and said: "It seems that the king does not like our Buddhist family.
I, the Buddha, have always only taught others to do good, and have never taught people not to be productive."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Since you have become a monk, you should stay in the temple to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, and not to come out to participate in political and military affairs.
If you want to persuade me to retreat, it is absolutely impossible, unless Dazalu Gong surrenders unconditionally.
Otherwise, there is no need to talk about coming and seeing off guests.”
Although Dharma Realm had long been prepared to be kicked out, he did not expect that the talks would break down so quickly.
He could only sigh secretly and return to the Tubo army camp
