The captain reported: "Your Majesty, General Abu said that he has something important to tell Master Liu.
It is about the military deployment situation in various places of the Food Army.
The situation is urgent.
If it is delayed, it will have a great impact on our army."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang was a little confused, "Why didn't he say it here just now that he had important military planes?
He had to wait until he went to the arranged camp and told Lord Liu.
Lord Liu, do you know?"
"Perhaps he forgot it here just now, and only remembered it when he arrived at the camp."
Liu Dan finished talking about this possibility, and then asked the captain: "Did something happen just now?"
The captain thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "Nothing happened.
The imperial doctor examined him and applied plaster on him.
He also left some medicine for treating internal injuries.
He gave him a few words and left.
But after the imperial doctor left, , General Abu wants to get out He said he was bored in the camp and wanted to go for a walk in the camp to get some fresh air.
He remembered Lord Liu's instructions and took good care of General Abu and did not let him go out.
Later, General Abu told Beizhi that he wanted to see Lord Liu."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Liu Dan: "Master Liu, why don't you go see Abu and see if the news he told about the defense situation of the Dashi Army in various places is useful to us.
By the way, Chu Ge, you can go too.
"When you were guarding Hengluosi, you were beaten badly by Abu's generals.
After all, Abu is also a person worthy of your respect.
You can tell him the news about the deaths of Ziyad, Daoud, Said and others."
Liu Dan and Chu Ge stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Watching the two people leave, Zhao Ziliang walked to the map and studied it for a while.
He found that although the location of Behdahir Castle was not dangerous, the castle was located on the main traffic road between east, west, north and south.
Therefore, the nature of the castle It is mainly built for defense and is very strong and tall.
Information obtained through the military also shows that there are many defensive fortifications in the castle.
It is difficult to capture it in a short time.
Even if it can be captured, it will take a lot of effort.
The price is high.
There are now more than 50,000 Persian servants in the army.
In Zhao Ziliang's eyes, although these Persian servants are similar to cannon fodder, if the casualties are too huge, it will inevitably cause a drop in morale and even trigger a large-scale escape.
It would be fine if the escapees were captured, but if they were not captured, they would become a scourge for the Western Qin to rule the region in the future, which Zhao Ziliang did not want to see.
Suddenly, Zhao Ziliang's eyes moved to the southwest and stopped at Shiraz.
Shiraz is located in a basin with an altitude of 1,500 meters in the southern part of the Zagros Mountains.
This is an agricultural basin area.
This is a The ancient city is one of the most important cities in southwestern Persia.
First, it is also the main route to Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food Kingdom.
If Shiraz is controlled, then the entire area surrounding the Zagros Mountains north of the Persian Gulf will be controlled by the Western Qin Army.
Militarily, this will have a great impact on Bei The flanks of the Caliphate's army at Hedashir Castle posed a huge threat.
Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, thinking and weighing.
After a cup of tea, he stopped and shouted: "Wei Gao" "Your Majesty!"
A young general in silver armor stood up and answered with clasped fists.
Zhao Ziliang said: "The city of Shiraz is the most important city in southwest Persia, and it is also the main transportation route from here to Baghdad, the capital of the Great Food Kingdom.
According to the investigation by Dongchang's spies, there are 3,000 troops stationed in Shiraz.
The military strength of other surrounding small towns is almost negligible.

Plan, if our army can occupy Shiraz, then the entire south and south of Persia will be in our hands, and we can also pose a huge threat to the flanks of the Caliph's army.
I will give you three thousand fine cavalry, each equipped with Being beaten by two horses, do you dare to raid Shiraz?"
Wei Gao was overjoyed and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Why don't you dare to ask your Majesty when will I set out?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "We will set off in two days.
Let's make preparations and mobilization first.
This matter must be kept strictly confidential.
The ministers present are not allowed to leak anything."
All the ministers and generals clasped their fists and raised their hands: "I will obey the king's orders."
It is nearly a thousand miles from Behdashir Castle to Shiraz.
If the cavalry is marching at a medium to high speed, it will take about five or six days to arrive.
The terrain is plateau and mountainous along the way, and the marching speed is very fast.
If the cavalry is equipped with two horses, it should be able to maintain a medium marching speed.
It will take six days at the fastest.
There are several small towns along the way and the population is not large.
Wei Gao is a young man.
He is only twenty-three years old this year and is already a deputy general of the First Army.
His military rank is not high, but his position is one of Zhao Hu's deputy generals.
He is quite talented and accomplished in commanding and training troops.
He also has many impressive achievements in commanding operations.
He is regarded as the leader among the younger generation of generals in the Western Qin Army.
Nowadays, in the Western Qin army, those who are less than 30 years old and have military positions of deputy general or above in the first army can be counted with one slap.
Wei Gao is one of them.
The others are Zhao Bei and Hu Ya who are the commanders of the front army.
Army commander Zhang Bi, deputy general Yang Zhengrong of the slave army, and deputy general Meng Yaoting of the ninth army.
Among them, Wei Gao, Zhang Bi, and Yang Zhengrong all have no background and have risen from the bottom step by step solely through their own efforts.
Wei Gao was from the Wei clan in Chang'an, but he did not have any background or background in Western Qin.
When he was young, he fled to Western Qin with his parents and joined the army at the age of fifteen.
Zhang Bi and Yang Zhengrong are also descendants of refugees.
They came to settle in Western Qin with their parents.
After joining the army, they showed amazing military talents.
The Western Qin army has always valued military merit and military talent, and those with talent and military merit will receive Vigorously promote, and regardless of origin or nationality, if you want to be promoted and promoted, military achievements and military talents are hard indicators.
As long as these two hard indicators are not met, no matter how strong the backstage background is, it will be in vain.
Zhao Bei was the son of Zhao Hu and a descendant of the clan of the Western Qin Kingdom.
The aura of being a descendant of the clan did not cover up his military talents.
Meng Yaoting is the nephew of Princess Meng, and is considered a relative.
If he does not receive special care, it is impossible.
As a relative, the resources he can use in the military are far more than others, but he can be the deputy general of the Ninth Army.
It doesn't have any moisture.
But Liu Dan and Chu Ge came to Bingbo Xilin's camp.
Bingbo Xilin, who was lying in the tent recovering from his injuries, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Dan.
He was worried that he would not be able to see Liu Dan.
Being locked up in the camp, he would not be able to achieve his goal.
To achieve his goal, he could only reveal some useful information to Western Qin or things that interest Zhao Ziliang, the king of Western Qin.
When Bingbo Xilin was about to get up, Liu Dan quickly stepped forward to hold him down and said with a smile: "General Abu is injured.
There is no need to get up.

Just lie down.
I asked Dr.
Liang just now before I came here.
The doctor said that the general's The injury needs to be repaired, otherwise it will easily lead to the root cause of the disease.
The king also personally asked about the general's injury, and instructed the imperial physician to treat him well, and asked us to convey his regards to the general."
Bingbo Xilin said quickly: "Thank you for your majesty's concern.
I will tell you outside the door this time.
The main reason is that I want to report to you about the deployment of the Dashi Army in Persia.
I hope it can be useful to your majesty, and I also want to use this.
I would like to express my sincerity to His Majesty and the officials and generals of the Western Qin Dynasty."
Liu Dan nodded, cupped his hands and said: "General Abu is interested.
I would like to express my gratitude to the king and the Kingdom of Western Qin to the general.
Regarding military matters, General Chu will talk to General Abu.
I am just a civil servant and am not responsible for military affairs."
He is not proficient in military affairs, but General Chu is an expert in this aspect."
Bingbo Xilin turned to look at Chu Ge and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are General Chu.
I have heard for a long time that General Chu is the pillar of the Western Qin Kingdom.
I am really happy to see the general here today."
Chu Ge smiled and clasped his fists and said: "General Abu is too flattering.
When I was guarding Hengluosi City, I was defeated by Said, the general's general, and I fled.
I am not even as good as a general under the general, so how can I be a general?"
It deserves to be called the pillar of the Western Qin Kingdom."
Bingbo Xilin shook his head and said: "I know this matter.
At that time, the Dashi Kingdom was still in the Umayyad Dynasty, and Said was the governor of Khorasan Province.
At that time, he was not my subordinate, and the general guarded Heng.
Luosi City was captured because the generals of the Shi Kingdom collaborated with the enemy.
If no one collaborated with the enemy, I believe it would not be easy for Said to capture Hengluosi City, which was guarded by the general."
Chu Ge smiled and did not continue the topic.
He asked: "Speaking of General Said, he led his army to fight with our Western Qin Army General Erzhu Xianzhong a few days ago.
Does the general listen to the result of the battle?"
"I heard a little bit, but I don't know the specific situation.
I only know that General Said was defeated.
I don't know how he is."
Although Bingbo Xilin pretended to ask casually, Chu Ge still saw it from his eyes.
Urgently, Chu Ge said: "I have a few things to tell General Abu, about General Said, Daoud and General Ziyad.
In the battle for the Tah Heights that night, General Said died on the spot. , we have inventoried his relics and followed his general He was buried according to the funeral specifications of his identity.
If General Abu wants to go to pay homage, I can send someone to take the general there.
Regarding his relics, we can also hand them over to the general.
We hope that one day the general can hand them over to his family."
Bingbo Xilin nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble General Chu.
Where are Ziad and Daoud?"
Chu Ge said: "I received news yesterday that the food army led by Ziad and Daoud crossed the Luti Desert and retreated to Behdashir Castle.
They were pursued by our army, led by General Zhao Hu, and were completely wiped out.
General Zhao Hu Someone will be sent to deliver the relics of the two generals in the near future.
As for their bodies, which cannot be preserved and transported for a long time due to the hot weather in the desert, they can only be buried on the spot.

There are tombstones and the burial specifications are consistent with their identities during their lifetimes."
Bingbo Xilin suppressed the grief in his heart and said to Chu Ge: "Thank you, General Chu, you are truly admirable generals":
