Chapter 325: Ambition for the Western Regions
Under the torch, Zhang Qian, whose blood stains were not dry on his back, was tied to his horse, with his dull face.
Another brother was missing, but he was killed by himself indirectly. He still remembered that Zhang Lei told him about missing his hometown and his mother a few days ago, but today this simple clan brother suffered this death kalpa.
"Qian'er, Xiaolei will be handed over to you. If he can't come back, I will settle the score with you!"
"Xiaolei is reckless, but he is like my Zhang family man. He would rather break than bend. You should support him more! Hahaha!"
"This journey is full of ups and downs, and hardships are indispensable. You brothers must take care of each other! Do you know? Living well is more important than anything else!"
“…”
The clan uncle passed by his mind one by one. Thinking of Jian Bai's words, Zhang Qian felt sad and remorseful again.
"Master Shan, Zhang Qian is sorry to you, Xiaolei, Brother Qian is ashamed of you..." Zhang Qian's eyes closed and murmured to himself.
A wolf howl suddenly sounded in Jiye, one after another, and it was extremely gloomy.
The moon hangs in the middle, and the white light and the shadow of a wild wolf make out an indescribable smell, making people feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Zuo Gudu Hou or the Huns present knew that they had to speed up their return.
They are a nation on horseback and experienced hunters. This kind of wolf howl is clearly a horn for friends and siege, and cannot be long.
If there is an army of thousands of people, there is no need to be afraid. The wolves will not be stupid enough to attack evenly matched opponents. It is naturally excellent to be able to deal with the weak.
But this is a team of two or three hundred people, so there is no need to take this risk, because the night is when the wolves dance, it is a symbol of the flickering eyes of the wolf, and it is the representative of the incarnation of the killer.
However, until I returned to the territory, the traces of the wolf still did not appear. As it turned out, this was a false alarm.
In fact, the target of the wolf pack is not them, but a flock of wild sheep. On the other side of the slope, a hunting of wolves is taking place, and the sheep that survived, without exception, are all strong people in the flock.
Survival of the fittest, nature sometimes is so cruel.
Zuo Gudu Hou ignored how his daughter cried and screamed. After an order, the Han people led by Zhang Qian were beaten and then directly under house arrest.
Nama was taken away by her mother. If she continued to torture her like this, she would have to anger Zuo Gu Duhou to death.
...
"The military strategy says: Who is the law and order, who is strong in the army, who is the soldiers, who is the soldiers, and who is the reward and punishment, I know the victory or defeat with this."
"Whoever implements the laws and regulations and who knows the rewards and punishments is the key to the front of the army. There is no relative in front of the army, and there is no father or son in the battle. Those who violate the order will be killed."
The crisp female voice was reading a military book. Her beautiful face had a bit of clarity and a bit of eccentric temperament, with a bit of banished fairy.
One hundred miles away,
The woman riding a horse was resting on the grassland. It was already late at night and it was not suitable to walk on. She had to rest first.
Ge came for Zhang Qian, and she also felt that it would be easier to escape by dividing part of it. In front of the tent, she also expressed her approval for Zuo Gudu Hou's request.
After returning from Shangjun, Ge was a little uncomfortable with Luzhu, and now he has almost adjusted.
The elders of the Great Shanyu united the clan pressured her and blamed her for leaving without saying goodbye, so she educated her for many days, and recently she had to escape the life of those old guys.
Yi Zhi defeated several times in a row, busy balancing the turmoil of the tribes, so he had no time to limit her freedom. In addition, the Huns obeyed her, so Ge did not suffer much resistance.
The reason why she wanted to save Zhang Qian was nothing more than repaying her kindness. Moreover, she owed a great favor to Hu Xie for the last time. Besides, the treasure belonged to Zhang Qian, and she could only come back without any damage after using it.
But this time the trouble seems to be quite big. After calculation, whether it can be saved, the future is uncertain.
But she didn't want to give up, and even the nine cows couldn't take back what she decided.
Besides, according to her identity, even if she fails, there will be no major danger.
...
The Western Regions are a road, the Silk Road!
Liu Che had known this long ago.
So if you can get it through as soon as possible, you have to do it as soon as possible.
The first stop was Loulan, and Loulan's King Loufan was a fence-bearer. Only when Liu Che was given the kindness and power, he was willing to become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.
The level of gratitude among them must be communicated by Ma Zhiyu and his wife. After all, Nobel is the only daughter of King Lou Fan. How can this relationship be reasonable without using it?
When they are summoned, they will naturally be sent to send letters. This messenger can be a pawn or of course a key official in the court.
So, Liu Che put his ideas on Ji An. Anyway, he sent him once and had some experience. Liu Che wanted to send him away, so he just wanted to be the garrison of a county. It happened to be the case.
As civil servants, they always like to have a sense of ritual. Ji An came to meet Liu Che in extremely formal official uniforms, and it seemed abrupt in this village.
After glanced at his proper appearance, Liu Che laughed in silence and said, "The world is far from above the court. Lord Ji, you are very strange."
"Let Your Majesty laugh, I like to follow the rules and do things that I think are right, and everything I do is fine.
In the past, Confucius said that etiquette should not be abolished, and Mencius also said it again. Now..." Ji An swept open the corner of his clothes and chattered endlessly.
"Hey, stop, stop, you are endless. I'm here to come today, but I just want to tell you something to do. There is no need to talk about so many big reasons. I don't have time to listen to the words of those sages."
As if he was stubborn as a donkey, Liu Che was not happy at the time and seemed to have joined a pyramid scheme organization.
"I don't know what's going on?"
The adjustment was very fast. As he turned around, Ji An looked like he could go up to the mountain of swords and fall into the sea of fire.
Liu Che pondered for a while and said, "Can you know Ma Zhiyu?"
"Is the president?"
"Um?"
"Oh, the official businessman who is secretly distributed by Your Majesty has such a great influence. I am not a blind man. President Ma still knows him a little. When it comes to official titles, he can be compared with the Grand Marshal, one of the nine ministers, right?" Ji An said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, these have become well-known things. It seems that Ji An has also learned about specific things, but this person is not all a fool.
"Yes, it's him. I have a letter to him. It's important. I'm not at ease when I ask others to deliver the letter. After thinking about it, it's only you, Lord Ji, just so convenient.
It just so happens that I have an appointment edict for you. I ordered you to take office as the prefect of Donghai today. After sending the letter, you can go directly to the post." Liu Che picked up a sealed letter from the table and handed it to Ji An.
Ji An took it and was silent for a while. He was thinking about whether he could take on the heavy responsibility.
