Even the flickering lights seem to be a bit lonely in the autumn night, and the layers of mist-like curtains dilute the light of the moonlight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Che exhaled a breath from his chest very slowly, for fear of waking up the sleeping Gillian beside him.

He thought to himself that even if the alliance with the Great Moon Clan failed, he would be able to bring back a lot of news about the Xiongnu.

The Han Dynasty still knows too little about the Xiongnu, and there is still a long way to go before he knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

But a full eleven years have passed, and Zhang Qian, who left Chang'an with hundreds of people, has been nowhere to be seen, like a mud cow sinking into the sea without any sound.

Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian, where are you?

Liu Che's solemn gaze seemed to penetrate through the palace, all the way to the direction of the Western Regions.

Suddenly, Gillian beside her let out a dream and unconsciously reached for him.

He hurriedly gathered his mind and stretched out his arms to hug Gillian tightly. She found a satisfactory place in his arms and continued to sleep, he hugged the thin but soft Gillian, his heart was warm and quiet, as if looking at the circle of sunlight spreading out between the treetops on a spring afternoon.

*****

Liu Che didn't know that the two people he was thinking about were very close to each other at the moment.

After Wei Qing and Li Xi led their troops out of the border counties, they made a great detour from the clouds to the west.

The two divisions first marched west along the north bank of the Yellow River, and quickly advanced to Gaoque under the cover of the Great Wall of Qin.

And Zhang Qian was still in the court of the Huns at this time, because he escaped last time, the Huns directly detained him under their noses.

The distance between the two is only a few hundred miles, and the fast horse will arrive in a day.

The previous time it was closer, and I even took a look.

It was when Wei Qing led the army to burn Dragon City, and Zhang Qian was in Dragon City at that time.

Zhang Qian can take this rare opportunity to go back, with the protection of the army, he will never sleep in the open and bathe in the rain on the way.

He can return to Dahan smoothly, and His Majesty will not blame him.

Zhang Qian is not a saint, and his heart has never wavered.

He also said to himself that he should go back, and he didn't know what happened to the old father and mother at home?

But one should believe that he could not go back like this as long as he thought of the ardent expectation in His Majesty's eyes when he departed.

How could he have the face to tell His Majesty that he hadn't even reached the Great Moon Clan?

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Qian finally decided to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the Xiongnu and continue to find the Da Yue clan, and he wanted to complete his mission.

He is an envoy of the Han Dynasty, representing the will of the Han family!

After escaping from the Xiongnu, Zhang Qian and his entourage took the Cheshi country, entered Yanqi, and traced the Tarim River westward from Yanqi, passed through Qiuzi, Shule and other places, crossed the green mountains, and arrived at Dawan. With the help of King Dawan, he finally reached the border of the Dayue clan.

That day, he cried.

For ten long years, he was humiliated by the Huns, and lived without privacy and dignity at all.

He misses home, his father, his mother, and everything in the Han Dynasty.

But he never cried, he thought that the Han envoys could not cry, let alone cry in front of the Huns.

And that day, when he finally felt for the first time that he could complete the mission given to him by His Majesty, even though he was as resolute as he was, he couldn't help crying.

And he did!

He did it!

Ten years!

Finally it did!

It's just a pity that His Majesty is far away in the sky, and he can't hear or see his shouts and returns.

It's a pity that the new king of the Dayue clan doesn't want to take revenge on his father anymore, and Zhang Qian has been persuading him for a year but has not gained.

And the war between the Han and the Hungarians, which kept drifting in the wind, also made Zhang Qian feel like an arrow, and he had no intention of continuing to suffer hard.

He wanted to return to Dahan as soon as possible and return to His Majesty all the situation of the Xiongnu and the Western Regions in his hands.

The two armies are at war, and only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.

So in the first year of Yuanshuo, Zhang Qian finally set off to return to China, and on the way back to avoid the Xiongnu-controlled areas, he changed from the south road to the green ridge, along the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, through Shache, Khotan, Shanshandi, into the Qiang people's living area.

Unexpectedly, even the Qiang people became vassals of the Xiongnu, and Zhang Qian and his party were caught by the Xiongnu again and detained in the court of the Xiongnu.

This time the Huns were very tightly guarded, even Zhang Qian himself was full of doubts about whether he could escape again, last time he was lucky to encounter the Han army burning Longcheng, and the heavens would not favor him again and again!

It's just that Zhang Qian is still not ready to accept his fate, and he taught his son to write and read during the days of his detention.

He is going to be imprisoned by the Huns for the rest of his life, and his son Zhang Qian has to grow up to be a Han!

Although she is an authentic Huns, she has the characteristics of a Han woman - marrying a chicken and a dog with a dog.

She felt that since she was married to a Han Chinese, she should try her best to like the Han culture.

After having two students who are dedicated to their studies, Zhang Qian really didn't feel how difficult the days of detention were.

However, these days, he is sensitive to find that the Huns seem to have great mood swings, as if they are angry and humiliated.

When I finally figured out what was going on. Zhang Qian was overjoyed, and silently shed tears in the dark night, and his mood was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

Your Majesty has recovered the Hetao Plain!

Wei Qing, the general of Wei Qing who burned Longcheng before, led a surprise attack to Gaoquesai, cutting off the connection between the Xiongnu Baiyang and Lou Fu kings stationed in Henan and the Xiongnu hinterland.

Then he went south, completed the roundabout outflanking of the Hetao and the area south of it, and defeated the king of Aries and the king of Loufu in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the Huns lost a full 4,571 people. What made the Huns feel even more distressed was the more than a million cattle, sheep and war horses! That's their wealth! True wealth!

The Han army recovered the entire land of Henan, traveled more than 1,000 miles to Longxi, and returned with all the armor.

The second king only led a few of his own soldiers to escape.

The king of Aries and the king of Lou Fu, who returned from defeat, were beheaded by the military ministers Shan Yu to show the public, and the two kings of the Huns who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the past looked at each Hun who passed by with dead eyes on the flagpole.

The Huns crisscrossed the Western Regions and went south to the Han Dynasty, and they had not yet tasted the shame of losing their territory.

This was as uncomfortable as a thousand knives for these sons who grew on horseback and called themselves eagles, and the beheading demonstration of the military minister Shan Yu did not arouse the hearts of the Huns, but made them burst into a stronger fighting spirit.

They vowed to bring back today's shame a hundredfold and a thousand times, and to sacrifice the female captives of the emperor of the Han Dynasty to their Shan Yu.

Zhang Qian, no matter how angry and ambitious the Huns were, he only knew that since Qin, the land of Henan had always been in the hands of the Huns.

Now that it is withdrawn, the Huns can no longer threaten Chang'an at every turn! There is no more humiliation of Ganquan Palace that day!

Zhang Qian hadn't been in such a happy mood for a long time, he laughed and cried for a while, and he made a lot of noise all night before falling asleep.

Also who didn't sleep all night was the military minister Shan Yu, who didn't think that the Han army would never see the beginning and the end might be like the last raid on Longcheng to give the Xiongnu a hard blow.

But the generals under his command were full of confidence and told him that the last time the dragon city was burned was because the Huns didn't take this unknown person in their eyes at all, not to mention that Wei Qing only led 10,000 cavalry last time. This time, from the reconnaissance of the outpost, it was learned that Wei Qing led at least 40,000 cavalry, and it was difficult for such a large army to hide its whereabouts.

In the final analysis, even the military minister himself did not believe that the Han emperor, who was once overwhelmed by his grandmother, could have such a will. If you don't want to fight the three cities, you have to bite off a piece of meat of the Huns.

But when the Aries King and the Loufu King, who returned from defeat like a lost dog, prostrated at his feet and begged for mercy, the military minister Shan Yu realized that his pride and conceit had been completely obscured by the glory of the past to a very terrible point.

To despise the enemy, not to be afraid.

What is scary is not knowing how much strength the despised person has.

It's not too late to reflect now.

In the early morning light, the military minister's eyes were full of fierceness and confidence.

The news of Henan's great victory reached Chang'an City almost at the same time, and Hongling, who came to report the news, hurriedly changed eight good horses, did not stop for half a moment along the way, and finally sent the news of the reconquest of Henan, which made the entire Han family fall into ecstasy, to Liu Che's hands in person.

The bell in the Han Palace to celebrate the great victory rang for half an hour, and the news of the great victory swept through Chang'an City like a tornado, overwhelming the whole world.

Countless people poured into the streets, wanting to hear the bells from the palace more clearly, and they wanted to remember this excitement forever.

Many wounded soldiers knelt down in front of the palace gate with tears in their eyes, and they muttered the names of their comrades to the sky.

Burn down the Dragon City and recover Heshuo.

It turned out that the Huns, who rode on the heads of the Han people and killed the people of the border counties at every turn, had already tasted the taste of being killed.

Of course, there is no one happier than the Son of Heaven.

As soon as the military newspaper arrived in his hand, he read it for a quarter of an hour as if he suddenly did not know how to read, and then finally laughed and shouted three times in a row.

Gillian sat next to him, seeing that his whole body was relaxed as if he was unburdened, his eyes were already fluctuating, and he couldn't help but be happy and emotional.

When she experienced the glory of the Han Dynasty in the past, she didn't know how much Liu Che had paid for this, let alone how much the people of the world had paid. even thought that it was only after a lot of success that Liu Che could get this little fun, but now no one can understand Liu Che's joy better than her.

She is now like a true queen of all the people in the world, and she is very happy about her change.

Under the ecstasy of the Son of Heaven, he immediately personally polished the ink and wrote the edict.

The Marquis of Changping Weiqing was sealed with 3,800 households, and his subordinates Su Jian and Zhang Cigong were awarded the Marquis of Pingling and the Marquis of Antou with military merits.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't know whether Mrs. Wei Qing's Xue Wu was pregnant with a man or a woman, Gillian doubted that he would even seal the child or something.

Xue Wu was recently diagnosed as more than two months pregnant, and Wei's mother was eager to give her up.

It was Liu Che who loved the house and Wu who were extremely eccentric and unfounded to say that this child was a lucky star, which brought such great good news.

But there are still a lot of sincere believers, and Guan Tao said this several times in front of Xue Wu.

Xue Wu covered her belly and smiled gently, and the joy of becoming a mother made her whole person look extraordinarily soft.

Gillian has always been a little distracted, and she has always been a little absent-minded about other people's conversations and jokes.

When Liu Che wrote down the 3,800 households of food and yi one by one, she was a little distracted.

Three thousand eight hundred, not three thousand, not four thousand.

But it is exactly 3,800 households, not more than one, not less than one.

In the previous life, Wei Qing was awarded the title of Marquis of Changping and added 3,800 households to the land of Henan.

This makes Gillian always have a sense of fear that history will be postponed but will always come, and she can't help but wonder if she and Liu Che will still repeat the fate of their previous lives.

Fortunately, the extra 1,000 heads in Wei Qing's exploits and Yuyang's stubbornness are variables in the track of history after all, and she can still comfort herself that she can definitely change history.

Speaking of Yuyang, even Liu Che himself was surprised. Han Anguo was able to hold Yuyang, but he was dragged until the day when Wei Qing returned to help.

He sighed and said that the people of the city were preserved, which was a great achievement.

Liu Che was already ready to transfer this old minister back to Chang'an after the war completely subsided, and he was also an old minister with a talent for the country. In the past, it was because Han Anguo advocated peace and sent him to the border in anger.

But now Han Anguo must also understand why he wants to fight, the nation and the country really need to straighten their backbones! Only the strong can have the confidence to ask for peace!

Speaking of Han Anguo, Gillian is more confident.

In his previous life, Han Anguo vomited blood and died this year, but now he has defended Yuyang City with great might, which makes this Henan victory even more joyful.

The Huns only conquered the upper valley, but lost the entire land of Henan.

She thinks that Han Anguo has changed her fate, why can't she Chen Ajiao?

In this life, she holds the best card, neither separated from Liu Che, nor Wei Zifu, if she still separates from Liu Che-

Phew-Bah-T

Take it back, take it back—

Gillian silently thought in her heart, God, but what I said if, if, can't be taken seriously, can't be taken seriously-

Liu Che's joy lasted for a long time, chattering day and night to the two children, let alone Gillian.

He always told Gillian about the dream he had the night before, in which he came to the battlefield in person and was a most ordinary soldier.

He rode a tall war horse and swept through the Huns' military formation with a flood of military cavalry, and the Huns could not come up with an effective defense in the front and rear situation, and all resistance was futile and weak.

40,000 iron horsemen stepped on the ground, not only the earth trembled, the mountains and rivers changed color, but also broke the military heart of the Huns.

Who would have thought that the Han army would be able to outflank in a roundabout way?

Who would have thought that the Han army would be so heroic as to move forward?

In the cold light of the blade, the blood of the Huns splashed his face. The air was filled with the dreaded smell of blood, getting heavier and heavier!

By the end, blood watered the entire land.

Countless ownerless war horses screamed in the midst of it, and the eagle vultures that lived on carrion smelled the smell of blood, and accumulated in the sky for a long time. They waited for the army to clean up the battlefield and then feasted contentedly.

When Liu Che talked about dreams, there was always a look of regret on his face.

He really can't wait to experience it himself, and the shame is always washed away with his own hands, which makes people even happier!
