When Zhao Ziliang led the main force of the Western Qin Army to climb onto the wall of Jinding Pass in a happy mood, the servant army, mercenaries and Tianzhu soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and cleaning up the corpses of the city's strongmen.
Houses in the pass were burning and rising Thick smoke billows.
Some Tibetan soldiers who were seriously injured but not dead were lying on the city wall groaning.
The servants, mercenaries and Tianzhu soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield had to stab them again and send them away.
Zhao Ziliang inspected the wall and stood at the highest point overlooking the surrounding mountains and rivers.
The Yalu River was like a jade belt winding from west to east.
The slowly flowing river nurtured millions of people on this plateau.
Zhao Bei, covered in blood, came over and clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said, "Your Majesty, the residence of the generals in the pass has been cleaned up.
Please, Your Majesty and all the generals, go in and rest."
Zhao Ziliang heard this and said to the generals and officials: "We have seen how dangerous this Jinding Pass is.
It is indeed a dangerous pass.
It has blocked our army here for a month and a half.
Let's go and sit in the general's mansion inside the pass. , discuss the next attack strategy."
After saying that, he picked up his cloak and turned around to walk under the wall.
"Yes," the generals and officials agreed with clasped fists and hands, and followed Zhao Ziliang down the wall.
The group of people came to the guard's house in the pass.
Although the place had been cleaned up, there was still a smell of blood that was difficult to eliminate.
The furnishings in the house were also extremely simple, except for some furs spread behind the low table and a dirty piece in the middle.
Apart from the stained tapestry, there seemed to be nothing else of value.
The valuables must have been looted by the mercenaries, servants and Tianzhu soldiers who rushed in first.
Zhao Ziliang didn't care about this and knelt down on the main seat without feeling any awkwardness.
The other generals and officials knelt down on both sides.
Just as Zhao Ziliang was about to speak, Zhang Ben walked in quickly, clasped his fists and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, when our army broke through Jinding Pass, a Tibetan army of more than 5,000 people came here for reinforcements and has already arrived here.
Ten miles away, but after discovering that Jinding Pass had been breached, he turned around and returned.
The final general had already sent We went to investigate and found that these 5,000 Tibetan soldiers were all infantry.
Even if they retreated, they could not move fast.
The general wanted to lead the men to chase him personally, but unfortunately his soldiers spent too much energy sneaking into the pass, and they did not have the strength to do so.
War horses cannot pursue us.
If we send light cavalry to pursue us at this time, we can catch up in just an hour."
"Bring me the map," Zhao Ziliang shouted.
Several soldiers quickly carried a map full of lines and hung it on the wall.
Zhao Ziliang immediately walked over and moved his fingers eastward along the Yarlu River along the location of Jinding Pass.
"To the east of Jinding Pass are Zhongba and Nianmai Zhamu.
Tell us about the situation of Zhongba and Nianmai."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he turned to look at the servant general Zhamu.
Zhamu stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the Tubo court divided the densely populated central area under its jurisdiction into two major regions, Wushi and Zang.
They were also called Qian Zang, Wusi and Hou Zangzang.
Wusi refers to the city of Luosu.
The areas surrounding the north and south of Lhasa are divided into two districts, namely Wuru and Yuoru, Wuru is in the north of the Yangtze River, and Yueru is in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zang refers to the area on the east and west sides of Nianmai.
Zang is divided into Yeru and Rula.
Yeru is the area around the Nianqu River, and Ho refers to Ya.
The upper reaches of Lujiang River belong to Zhongba area, but this area It is just a scattered place of herdsmen and farmers.
There were no thousands of households stationed here before.
I don’t know now.

To the east is Nianmai, the intersection of the Yalu River and the Nianqu River.
Nianmai is the center of Houzang.
It is a big market, usually there are 50,000 people Every time they go to the market, there are more people going to trade in exchange for what they need.
This is the place with the largest population gathering in the entire Tubo except Luoxue City.
The Marshal Shangfenru Mansion in Zangru Rula is located there.
Nianmai, the lower division is like the marshal's residence in Saskaya."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, turned around and shouted: "Xuan Si" Xuan Si stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I'm here."
"Quickly send 3,000 light cavalry to pursue the 5,000 Tubo infantry.
After the combat mission is completed, station them on the spot and send people to investigate Zhongba's situation.
If there is any news, report immediately."
Xuan Si cupped his fists and agreed: "Promise" Zhao Ziliang said to Chen Qing again: "Immediately send detective horses to Sasjia, Tucker and Lunbuzi in the southwest to investigate."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Zhao Bei and Zhamu: "Zhao Bei, Zhamu, your soldiers are all Tubo people, and there are them in all the tribes.
I have decided to set up a sentry camp composed of Tubo people.
From your The soldiers under the two men were selected Select elite people.
These people will have higher treatment.
They will be responsible for detecting the movements and news of our enemies.
Each of you will select 200 people from your own subordinates.
A total of 400 people will be named.
Rula Sentry Camp” Zhao Bei and Zhamu quickly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang said to Zhang Bi again: "Zhang Bi, transfer some soldiers from your Huya Army to train the soldiers of this newly formed Rula Sentry Battalion, and teach them some skills in detecting the enemy's situation."
"Promise, I will accept the order" Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone and saw that there was nothing else to do, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone who is attacking the city has been worried about these days, and the soldiers are also exhausted physically and mentally.
Send an order to kill cattle and sheep to reward the three armies, and send people from each department to attack The damage and results of the battle will be reported in the evening when the troops are exhausted.
Please go down and rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
The generals and ministers quickly dispersed, and Zhao Ziliang looked at the map in trance.
Next, the battle will not be so easy.
There is Sasjia in the southeast, which is the location of Zangru Rula's lower Fenru.
Although after the collapse of the Tubo Kingdom, the military system of the eight Fenru in the country also collapsed one after another.
After so many years of fighting each other, a lot of troops have been consumed, but there should still be a lot of remaining troops, and after so many years of fighting, their combat effectiveness is probably even higher than before.
There are still large areas north of the Yalu River.
Although the population there is not as dense as that in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still military forces.
Lords of all places have their own armed forces.
If they feel the huge threat from the Western Qin army and think they are powerless, Resistance, whether they will unite to form a coalition and jointly fight against the Western Qin Army's attack, these are all things Zhao Ziliang needs to consider.
In addition, the stagnation of the Northern Tang-Western Allied Forces also made Zhao Ziliang quite annoyed.
No matter what reason Guo Ziyi had for stopping the army, Zhao Ziliang believed that this would give the remaining barbarian rebels a chance to breathe.
In the attack on Tubo, In fact, he had given up halfway and failed twice due to political reasons.
This time, he did not want to give up halfway again.
Even if the imperial army withdrew, he would definitely wipe out Tubo with the power of Western Qin.
There were always soldiers outside the door holding bundles of memorials and placing them on the table at Du Fu's greeting.
Rows of racks of weapons filled with swords, guns, swords and halberds were also brought in from the outside.
The walls on both sides were soon filled with hangings.
After getting a map and some decoration, the whole house looked like it was.
A white-browed eunuch led several young eunuchs in, carrying food boxes and placing them on the square table next to them.
Another young eunuch carried a small charcoal stove and placed it on the table.
A round-bottomed iron pot filled with base ingredients was placed on the charcoal stove.

On the stove, the aroma of food soon filled the whole house.
The white-browed eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the food, wine and meat are ready."
"Um" Zhao Ziliang devoured the food and ate a bucket of rice in just a quarter of an hour.
After the meal, Zhao Ziliang began to review the memorials.
These were all rushed eight hundred miles from Xinjing.
Each memorial needed to be reviewed by him personally.
The general insignificant memorials had long been handled by the ministers themselves.
The review of the memorials lasted for two hours before Zhao Ziliang finished processing all the memorials.
After that, he spent another hour visiting more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, all of whom were Tibetan mercenaries, servants and Tianzhu soldiers.
Although these people were not Han Chinese, for him, he had no racial discrimination.
As long as he was willing to surrender, The Western Qin Dynasty were all treated the same as the Han people.
After returning from visiting the wounded, Zheng San came to report: "Your Majesty, all the food and wine to reward the soldiers have been prepared.
The army officials and generals have all arrived.
Do you want to start distributing wine, meat and food to the soldiers?"
Zhao Ziliang walked to the door and saw that the officials and generals were already sitting in their respective seats.
He told Zheng San: "Delay here for a quarter of an hour, and distribute food, wine, and meat to other soldiers first."
"Yes, Your Majesty" The officials and generals in the room all stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ziliang walked to the main seat.
A eunuch came over and took off his cloak.
He pressed his hands to the officials and generals, then sat down and said: "Let's not be busy eating here.
I want to hear about this time first." battle damage situation” Xuan Jiu first stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, the Tianzhu soldiers killed 8,200 people and injured 3,600 people from the beginning of the attack to the end of the breakthrough."
Zhao Bei stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, our mercenaries have recruited a total of 53,000 people.
During the attack, 22,000 people were killed and 3,200 injured, leaving 37,000 people available. " Zhao Bei said that these mercenaries were recruited, but in fact there were less than 15,000 mercenaries who were actually recruited and voluntary.
The rest were forcibly recruited and only underwent a few days of simple training.
They were given simple weapons to fight with, and all the officials and generals here knew this very well.
Zhao Ziliang doesn't care about this, as long as he has enough cannon fodder, no matter where the cannon fodder comes from.
Zhamu stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, our servant army has killed 12,000 people and injured 1,200 people from the beginning of the attack to the end of the pass."
After listening to the reports of the three men, Zhao Ziliang said: "In this way, we killed and injured more than 50,000 people in order to break through the Jinding Pass.
This casualty is too high.
Send an order to bury these dead soldiers properly.
Arrange the injured soldiers well and let them recover from their injuries."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zheng San agreed.
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Come here, bring us some meat and wine":
