Three hours later, at dusk, news came from the front scout again.
This time it was the news brought back by Zou's scouts.
"Khan, we have engaged in a battle with the front ranger sentry of the Tatmadaw tribe.
We have lost eight people, and the other party has suffered six casualties."
After hearing this, Badasi immediately ordered: "If we continue to explore further and have any news, please report back immediately."
"Yes, Khan" After Zou's patrol sentry sent away, Badasi said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, it seems Husitasi has decided to fight us head-on, otherwise the scope of their ranged sentry would not be so wide.
Far distance” Zhao Ziliang said: "Whether he is fighting us head-on or playing tricks, we are here to block the water and earth to cover Chen Qing.
Send the order and the army will camp on the spot.
No one or war horse is allowed to take off their armor.
We are ready to fight you at any time."
We need to make arrangements for security and defense patrols, and I will be patrolling everywhere inside and outside the camp later."
"Accepting the order" Chen Qing clasped his fists in agreement and ordered the messengers to convey Zhao Ziliang's military orders.
He then summoned the generals of various ministries and the chief Khans of each tribe to arrange the size and scope of their respective camps.
After nightfall, the camp was full of mounted patrols.
The soldiers gathered around the fire to eat dinner and drink hot soup.
Guard posts outside the camp returned to the camp every half hour to report the warning situation.
After inspecting the defense, patrol and vigilance, Zhao Ziliang returned to the battle with his guards.
Xuan Shiba came in and clasped his fists to report: "Your Majesty, General Huo Kan has sent a message from the Flying Eagle.
His troops are camping thirty miles away on the other side of the river.
They have already A large number of reconnaissance cavalry were sent to investigate the northeast, east and south thirty miles away, and no trace of the enemy was found for the time being."
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Reply and tell him to ask his reconnaissance cavalry to increase the scope of reconnaissance and search.
If Husi Dasi really uses the other half of the elite cavalry to sneak attack our army's flanks, they will definitely go to the right bank of the Yayik River." , we are too unfamiliar here and don’t understand the terrain and climate here, so we have to be careful in everything.”
"Yes" Xuan Shiba agreed and stepped back.
Zhao Ziliang saw that Gao Shang, Du Fu, Dugu Jun and others looked tired, and knew that they were too tired from marching during the day, so he said to everyone: "I see that all the gentlemen are also tired, so please go back to the tent to rest first.
If anything happens, The king will send someone to call you."
The civil servants stood up and stood in a row and bowed their hands to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your consideration.
I will take my leave now."
In addition to a few guards standing guard in the big tent, there are still the guards commander Ma Lin, the deputy commander Duan Xiushi, the commander Bo Lehan of the Dragon Guard, the captain Zhao Lei of the guards, the deputy commander Ma Sui of the Dragon Guard, and Qin Qin.
Nur, the commander of the guards, Xuan Wu, the deputy commander of the guards, and others.
Both the Guard and the Dragon Guard were newly formed and reorganized half a year ago.
They have not experienced a real war yet.
The Guard has 5,000 men and horses, all of whom are elite cavalry.
The Dragon Guard is even more elite, with only 1,000 cavalry.
But all of them are tall, strong, and extremely brave men.
They are heavy knights on horseback and heavy infantry on horseback.
Moreover, the individual combat effectiveness of each of them can be equal to ten.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Brahan and asked: "Brother, how old are you today?"
Brahan bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Back to your Majesty, I will be five years older than your Majesty.
He is forty-four years old this year."
"You have been dealing with local government affairs these years and rarely lead troops into battle.
Can you still fight on horseback?"
Brahan stood up and clasped his fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the general is only forty-four years old this year.
He is in the age of the tiger and the wolf.
He can eat five drawers of steamed buns, a kao Yang, and a jar of wine in each meal.
Although the general has been in the place for these years, Handle government affairs, but practice martial arts diligently every day and stay up late to study every night We can still fight tigers and leopards in hand-to-hand combat, and kill bulls with one punch, just so that one day we can fight for the king again.

Tomorrow, we encountered the soldiers and horses of the Tatmadaw tribe.
Please allow the king to allow the general to lead all the officers and men of the Dragon Guard Army to lead the battle.
Kill Hu Si Da Si for the Great King Formation" Zhao Ziliang showed a smile and said: "It's really good that you can take time to practice martial arts diligently every day while dealing with tedious government affairs.
Many military generals have neglected their martial arts after becoming civil servants, and their stomachs are bigger than those of pregnant women.
It seems that I want you to There is nothing wrong with being the leader of the Dragon Guard.
Don't worry about the battle against Husidasi on the day.
Batasi doesn't want our Western Qin Army to interfere in the internal grievances of the Pechenegs.
When they decide the winner, we will see the situation before we fight in the future.
Most of the time, you don’t need to worry, there will always be time for you to go into battle.”
"Yes, your Majesty will always be ready," Brahan said and stepped aside.
At this time, Zhao Lei stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Father, it is natural for us to deal with Batasi by himself.
However, the three tribes in the north went south to loot the three groups in the south.
We sent people to pretend to do it.
If When Badasi and Husitasi talk about this matter face to face, they will definitely find something unusual, and this matter may lead to confusion.
If they find out that we are responsible for this matter, they are very likely to unite and turn the spearhead to attack our army."
"So we can't let them have the time and opportunity to tell the truth."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he turned to Xuanwu and ordered: "Xuanwu, tomorrow the king will tell Batas that he will send you to protect his safety, so just follow him.
By his side, once he talks to Husitasi about this matter, you have to shoot Husidasi at the critical moment, so that Badasi can’t be suspicious of us for the time being."
Xuan Wu stood up and clasped his fists and said: "No" After several battles between the sentry scouts of both sides, both sides knew the location of the other side.
It was impossible to make a sneak attack.
They could only engage in a head-on battle in an upright manner.
Not only Zhao Ziliang, but also Hu Si Da Si had this idea.
Both sides I had never thought of a sneak attack in the middle of the night before.
Zhao Ziliang felt that it was not necessary.
He just wanted to spare enough time for Hu Sidasi to gather all the soldiers and horses of the clan and deal with the Daci Ma Ti tribe once and for all.
However, Hu Sidasi thought that he did not understand the situation of the Tang army. , Dare not rashly come for a sneak attack in the middle of the night.
On the morning of the 10th day of April, the army was preparing to break camp and set off to attack the soldiers and horses of the Tatmadaw tribe.
Zhao Ziliang was sitting in the tent eating a large bowl of rice.
There was a roasted whole lamb on the table.
Nie Sanniang and Wang Zhiyun were peeling off the mutton for him.
Xuan Shiba walked in and clasped his fists and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, General Huokan has sent news that the scouts of the Fifth Army discovered an elite ranger on the other side of the Ilek River at dawn, numbering about three thousand people.
According to the sentry's judgment, since they were cavalry from the Great Sabah Army, which was seventy miles away from the current position of the Fifth Army, General Hokan decided to set up an ambush on a mountain ridge thirty miles to the right of the Utva River, waiting for this After the arrival of the cavalry, they launched an attack from the side."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang immediately stopped eating, took the map and spread it on the table, found the two locations mentioned by Xuan Shiba, and said: "If the rangers from the Azaima Ti tribe don't want to be discovered, they will definitely not dare to get too close to Ya.
The right bank of the Ik River, so their marching route happened to be about three miles north of the mountain ridge where Huokan set up his ambush.
At such a distance, even the well-trained cavalry could not muster up the morale to face the incoming attack after completing the formation change, because the footing was unstable.
Although this battle was not a complete ambush, it was almost enough.
Tell Huo Kan, just say that I The king agreed with his battle plan and asked him to arrange it carefully to prevent the enemy from discovering clues and flaws."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After eating and drinking, Zhao Ziliang lay on the backrest and called Nie Sanniang and Wang Zhiyun, teasingly saying: "Come here, you two ladies will beat my legs and rub my shoulders for my uncle."
When Nie Sanniang heard this, she hit him and said coquettishly: "How old are you, and you are still not upright?"
Even so, the two women still beat Zhao Ziliang's legs and the other rubbed his shoulders.
Zhao Ziliang closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
Wang Zhiyun beat him and backed away and said: "On the battlefield, there are no swords and guns.
You are already the king.
There is no need to rush to the front in every battle, but pay attention to the many generals and lieutenants.
They have generous salaries and rewards.

It is time for them to die."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but shook his head and said: "It's really a woman's opinion."
"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled and can leave camp at any time."
Chen Qing's voice came from outside the tent.
He knew that Nie Sanniang and Wang Zhiyun were both inside the tent, so he did not come in and reported directly outside.
"Okay, come right away" As the army continued to move forward, the movements and positions of the various armies of the Great Cavalry were constantly reported from the front detection posts.
Reports of losses in the battle between the two sides' detection posts also continued to come in.
Before a battle broke out, the scouts and detection posts from both sides continued to report.
They must go through brutal fights again and again in order to gain the initiative to detect the enemy's situation.
It depends on which of the two sentries has stronger combat effectiveness.
At about mid-morning, the armies of both sides finally encountered each other.
From a distance of five miles, both sides could see the smoke rising over the other side's army and countless flags fluttering in the wind.
Batas rode forward while observing the situation of Tasimati's troops.
Then he saluted Zhao Ziliang next to him and said, "Your Majesty, leave the battle against Husitasi to my Zou headquarters.
Your Majesty and Wei It’s enough for Qil Khan’s army to plunder the formation for me from behind.
If I die in battle, please support my eldest son as the leader.”
Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, I promise you, but I believe you will defeat Hu Si Da Si.
Let's do this.
I have a general under my command who is pretty good at martial arts.
He can protect your safety.
Where is Xuan Wu?"
Xuan Wu immediately rode forward and clasped his fists, saying: "The general will be here at the end."
"From now on, you stay with Chief Badasi to protect his safety and don't let him get hurt.
Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty" "This" Badasi didn't know Zhao Ziliang's purpose, and thought that Zhao Ziliang really thought about his safety.
He was quite moved in his heart.
He felt ashamed, but he couldn't refuse.
He hesitated but accepted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Thank you very much for your kindness
