Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Xi'an, sat on the ceremony, Liu Che decided, issued an order, changed the compromise policy of forbearance and peace with the Skull Demon King, gave up the "harmony", adopted the United Yue Clan, communicated with the Western Regions, broke the control of the Skull Demon King in the east and west of the Green Mountains, isolated and weakened, and launched a large-scale counterattack against the Skull Demon King by relying on the wealth and military strength accumulated by the previous emperor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEliminate the Skull Demon King, completely eliminate the skull Demon King's infestation, and establish the prestige and influence of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty learned from the skeletal soldiers who came to surrender that there was a nomadic tribe Yue clan living in Dunhuang and Qilian, who was completely conquered by the skull demon king and forced to move westward, driving out the original Serbs in the Ili area of Xinjiang and re-establishing the country. But they don't forget their homeland and are ready to take revenge on the Skull Demon King, and they really want someone to help them attack together.

The so-called "Western Regions" is divided into broad and narrow senses. Broadly speaking, it includes Central Asia, West Asia, India, the Caucasus, and the Black Sea coasts north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang and west of the Green Mountains, and even as far as Eastern and Southern Europe. In a narrow sense, it only refers to the west of Dunhuang and Qilian, the east of the Green Mountains, and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, that is, the Xinjiang region. Tianshan North Road, which is a natural and excellent pasture, was owned by the Skull Demon King at that time. In the northwest, along the Ili River, there was originally a group of Cypriots, who were later expelled by the Yueshi who had moved in. Tianshan South Road, because of the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the south barrier Kunlun, the climate is dry, suitable for planting, lack of pasture, agriculture for a living, concurrently engaged in animal husbandry, there is a city outline house, so it is called "the city of the country". These countries include various ethnic groups such as Yue, Qiang, Turkic, Xiongnu, and Cypriot, with a total population of about 300,000. Conquered by the Skull Demon King, he levied grain, sheep and horses from the nations. The people of all nations are oppressed and exploited by the Skull Demon King.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to send a minister to unite the Dayue clan and communicate with the Western Regions, who to send.

Zhang Qian stepped forward to enlist and was ordered to lead more than 100 people to set off from Longxi. The Hu people who returned to Shun acted as guides and interpreters. They traveled west into the Hexi Corridor. Since the Moon Clan moved west, this area has been completely controlled by the Skull Demon King. When Zhang Qian and his entourage hurriedly passed through the Hexi Corridor, they unfortunately ran into the cavalry of the Skull Demon King and were captured. Zhang Qian and the others were escorted to the Skull Demon Kingdom to see the military king.

"To the north of our side is the Great Yue Clan, the road is far away, you can't reach it, and I won't let you pass, so you can stay with us" When the king learned that Zhang Qian wanted to go to the Yue Clan, he said,

In order to soften Zhang Qian and dispel the idea of going to Yue's family, Zhang Qian married a local woman and had children.

Zhang Qian and the others have been living in the Skull Demon King for ten years. Zhang Qian did not forget the mission entrusted to him by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and did not waver in his will and determination to unite the Dayue clan for the Han Dynasty. During their stay, Zhang Qian and the others learned the road to the Western Regions in detail, learned the language of the locals, and they wore Hu clothes, which were difficult for the skeleton soldiers to recognize. The surveillance was relaxed, and Zhang Qian took the opportunity to leave his wife and children, led his entourage, and escaped from the Skull Demon Kingdom. They made their way through the Skeletons' zone of control.

The situation in the Western Regions has changed. The Yue clan's enemy country, Wusun, attacked the Otsuki clan to the west. The Yueshi were forced to move westward from the Ili River valley into the vicinity of the Aral Sea, where the Great Yueshi conquered Bactria and established a new homeland on new lands.

Zhang Qian knew about the situation. They did not march to the Ili River valley in the northwest, but turned southwest, entered the Tarim River and headed westward, passed Kuqa, Shule and other places, crossed the green mountains, and reached Dawan.

There were dozens of days of trekking on the way. It was an extremely arduous march. On the Gobi Desert, sometimes the sand and rocks are flying, the heat wave is rolling, sometimes the ice and snow are covered, and the cold wind is biting. The route is sparsely populated and water is scarce. In addition, he fled in a hurry, and the materials were not fully prepared. Zhang Qian and his entourage, sleeping in the open air, prepared for hardships. When the dry food was exhausted, he relied on the Hu people, who were good at shooting, to shoot birds and beasts to satisfy his hunger. Many of his followers died of hunger and thirst on the way, and died in yellow sand and ice caves, giving their lives.

After Zhang Qian arrived in Dawan, he went to see the king of Dawan, and met with the king of Dawan and talked about the mission of the envoy Yueshi and various encounters along the way.

"I talked about the mission of the envoy Yue and the various encounters along the way, and I hope that the king can send someone to send him off, and when he returns to the Han Dynasty in the future, he will definitely play the Han Emperor and send a lot of money and goods to express his gratitude," Zhang Qian said.

"Okay, I'll send a few guides to help you," said King Dawan,

King Dawan had heard about the richness of the Han Dynasty and wanted to communicate with the Han Dynasty, but due to the hindrance of the Skull Demon King, he could not achieve it. The arrival of the Han envoys made him very happy. Zhang Qian's words made him even more moved. agreed to Zhang Qian's request, and after warm hospitality, he sent a guide to send Zhang Qian and others to the Dayue clan.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Yueshi people, because the new land is very fertile and abundant, the danger of foreign enemy intrusion has been reduced, and they have changed their attitude. When Zhang Qian suggested to them, they had no intention of taking revenge on the Skull Demon King. In addition, they thought that the Han Dynasty was too far away from the Yue Clan, and if they jointly attacked the Skull Demon King, it would be difficult to help them in case of danger. During this period, Zhang Qian traveled south and arrived at the Lan City in Great Xia.

Zhang Qian and the others stayed in the Yue Clan for more than a year, but they were never able to convince the Da Yue Clan to ally with the Han Dynasty and attack the Skull Demon King. And he set out to return. On the way back, Zhang Qian changed the route of the march. After crossing the Green Ridge, they did not follow the northern part of the Tarim Basin, but changed their route along the southern part of the Tarim Basin, along the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, from Hotan and Ruoqiang, into the Qiang area. But unexpectedly, the Qiang people were also occupied by the Xiongnu, and Zhang Qian and others were captured by the skeleton cavalry again.

Detained for more than a year, Zhang Qian took advantage of the skull demon king to send troops to fight, and fled back to Chang'an with his Hun wife and Hu people.

Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions. A total of thirteen years. When they set off, there were more than 100 people, and when they returned, only Zhang Qian and Hu Ren were left.

On this expedition, Zhang Qian conducted on-the-spot investigation and study of the vast Western Regions. He not only personally visited the small countries of Xinjiang and the Dawan, Kangju, Dayueshi, and Daxia kingdoms in Central Asia, but also learned a lot about Wusun (south of Lake Balkhash and the Ili River valley), Xiancai (north of the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea), Anxi (i.e., Persia, present-day Iran), Tiaozhi (also known as Dashi, in present-day Iraq), and Shenfu (also known as Tianzhu, i.e., India). After returning to Chang'an, Zhang Qian made a detailed report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on what he had seen and heard, explaining the location, specialties, population, cities, and troops of the eastern and western parts of the Green Mountains, Central Asia, West Asia, and even the rest of the Indian countries.

After Zhang Qian returned to Xi'an from the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty's war against the invasion of the Skull Demon King had entered a new stage. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Zhang Qian and Wei Qing to attack Mobei. At that time, the army of the Han Dynasty marched thousands of miles away, and it was quite difficult to provide for it in the vast yellow sand and endless grasslands. Zhang Qian took advantage of his familiarity with the characteristics of the Skull Demon King's army, his experience in desert marching and rich geographical knowledge, to guide the Han Dynasty army, pointing out the marching route and the plan for camping and arranging. Since he knew that where water and grass were abundant, the army would not be poor, guaranteed victory in the war.

In the second year, Zhang Qian was ordered to attack the Skull Demon King with the "Flying General" Li Guang. Li Guang led 4,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and Zhang Qian led 10,000 cavalry to the rear. As a result, Li Guang's lone army ventured forward and fell into the siege of skeleton cavalry. Li Guang led his subordinates to fight hard for a day and night, Zhang Qian arrived at the same time, rushed into the encirclement, the two armies attacked inside and outside, and the skeleton soldiers were beaten and fled.

The Skull Demon King invaded Yumen Pass, and Yumen Pass was in danger. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Xi'an Imperial Palace received a report and ordered the general Zhang Qian to go to Dunhuang to support Yumen Pass.

Wei Qing and Zhang Qian's army met up and marched towards Yumen Pass, where they saw Yumian Jixiang, and they discussed together how to deal with the Skull Demon King.

"Although the enemy is strong, fierce and ferocious, we face to face, and fighting may not be able to win," Wei Qing said.

"General, is there any good idea?" Jade face auspicious said,

"Only outwitting, two sides of the work" Wei Qing said,

"What's the matter with two sides, I listen to the general!" Jade face auspicious said,

"You take the iron cavalry, rush out from the front, kill the enemy, Zhang Qian leads the men and horses, goes around behind the enemy, and hits it sideways" Wei Qing said,

"Good! That's great! Let's go now! "Jade face auspicious said,

"Okay, I'll set off right away," Zhang Qian said.

Yumian Jixiang and Zhang Qian turned around and prepared to go.

"Heroes! Please wait a moment! Wei Qing hurriedly shouted to Yumian Jixiang and Zhang Qian,

Yumian Jixiang and Zhang Qian stopped, turned to look at Wei Qing, and didn't know what to order.

"Build the altar and bring the wine!" Wei Qing ordered to the soldiers behind him,

On the city of Dunhuang, a high altar is erected facing the northeast. The incense table is full of smoke, and melon and fruit offerings are readily available.

The soldiers took out the bowls and placed them in front of the soldiers one by one, at this time a deputy general called Hongliuwa, only to see a foot high, short and strong, flexible and alert, each shoulder carried a large jar of wine up, one by one the bowl was filled with wine, and a deputy general called the medicine fork of the high strong man, raised a live deer in his left hand, held a sharp knife in his right hand, only to see the knife in his hand, the deer Bozi spurted out a stream of blood, sprayed into the bowl in front of the soldiers, dyed the wine red, each bowl had deer blood, and threw the deer aside.

Wei Qing incense, kneeling, bowing to the heavens, and then, with his hands dipped in some deer blood, wiped on his lips, the soldiers stepped forward to incense, kneeling, bowing to the heavens, after the deer blood dyed their lips red, Wei Qing picked up the wine bowl full of deer blood in front of him, raised it high, and the soldiers also held high the wine bowl full of deer blood.

"The Skull Demon King has invaded my territory, the lives of the people have been ruined, the heavens will bless the soldiers, as long as we work together, we can resist and repel the Skull Demon King's army" Wei Qing shouted, taking a sip of wine and breaking the bowl

"Work together to expel the Huns," Yumian Jixiang shouted, and after taking a sip of wine, he smashed the bowl

"Work together to expel the Huns" Zhang Qian and the soldiers shouted loudly, and after drinking the wine, they smashed the bowl,

The shouting, the crumbling of the bowl, resounded through the valley, and the sound was deafening.

Yumian Jixiang stood on the wall of Yumen Pass, saw the enemy, used a centipede ladder, dense, climbed to the city wall, ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows down, throw stones, hit the enemy, ghosts cry wolf howl, and repelled the enemy's crazy attacks again and again.

Yumian Jixiang saw that Zhang Qian had gone around behind the enemy, Yumian Jixiang opened the city gate and led the iron cavalry to rush out, Zhang Qian led a team of men and horses to rush from behind the enemy, and fought on both sides, and the enemy lost his armor and fled in panic.

In this fierce battle, Yumian Jixiang was slashing and killing enemy soldiers, suddenly, his face was distressed, Yumian Jixiang's face was cut by the enemy's flying knife, insisted on killing the retired skeleton soldiers, and returned to the barracks, he was already bleeding, fell off the war horse, and fainted.

The soldiers rescued Yumian Jixiang back to the barracks, and let the best military doctor show Yumian Jixiang, and the military doctor checked the wound for Yumian Jixiang, wiped the blood on his face, applied medicine, bandaged it, and fed the medicine, Sha Liu only had a faint heartbeat and shook his head,

"The wound is not serious, it just bleeds too much, whether you can wake up or not depends on the creation," the military doctor said to Wei Qing.

When Yumian Jixiang was in a coma, it seemed that he had been hearing Feitian crying and calling him in the distance, calling his name, auspicious, auspicious. Three days later, Yumian Jixiang miraculously woke up suddenly, recuperated for a period of time, and the injury was completely healed, but there was a large scar on his face, and his face became ugly, and people were afraid to see it.

Wei Qing, Zhang Qian and Jade Face auspicious victory and returned, when Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Jade Face auspicious army, arrived in front of the Dunhuang city gate, only to see on both sides of the city gate, standing a lot of welcoming people, holding flowers high, shaking, shouting,

"Welcome, Welcome, Heroes Triumph" rows of bands played joyful songs, rows of dancers, danced beautifully.

Cao Xianshun, the king of Dunhuang County, led the ministers to meet him, and Cao Xianshun, the king of Dunhuang County, bowed to Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Yumian Jixiang, and said, "General Zhang Qian, General Wei Qing, Zhang Jixiang, you have worked hard"

Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Yumian Jixiang hurriedly jumped off their horses, bowed their hands and bowed, and saw the king of the county

"Generals, please get up" Cao Xianshun, the king of Dunhuang County, hurriedly stepped forward and said,

Cao Xianshun, the king of Dunhuang County, took Zhang Qian, Wei Qing and Yumian auspicious with his left and right hands, and walked into Dunhuang City, which was full of ribbons, flowers, and cheering people.

After entering the county king's mansion, Zhang Qian and Wei Qing said goodbye to Zhang Qian and Wei Qing because they wanted to return to the imperial court, and Cao Xianshun, the king of Dunhuang County, bid farewell to Zhang Qian and Wei Qing. Summoned the jade face auspicious, in order to commend the jade face auspicious record, and compensation for the serious injuries suffered in the war, Zhang Jixiang was named the general, given a hundred taels of gold, a hundred silk horses, a general's mansion, and the jade face auspicious lived in the general's mansion. Because the ugly face of the jade face looks like a grimace, people call the General's Mansion "Ghost Face General's Mansion" and call the Jade Face Jixiang "Ghost Face General".

Mo Gao in the Dunhuang City Horse Market, found a Wusun horse, asking for a hundred taels of silver, Wusun horses are rare and precious horses in Dunhuang City, Mo Gao paid for it, gave this Wusun horse, to Feitian, Feitian learned to ride a horse, then rode the Wusun horse to see Shaliu.

Why is Wusun horse so rare and precious, at that time people called Wusun horse "Tianma", "sweat and blood BMW", "Tianji Longlin", is the descendant of the god horse, the name rouge horse, is the descendant of the dragon, there is a "dragon horse" said.

The appearance of Wusun Ma is delicate and flexible, the eyes are bright, the forehead is wide and the nose is straight, the ears are small and sensitive, the body is strong and sturdy, the chest is open, the muscles are obvious, the hooves are hard, and at the same time, the whole body is covered with glittering jujube-colored fine hair. People ride on such tall horses, and it's really heroic. In addition to their flattering appearance, the Ili horse also has the characteristics of running fast and pulling a lot.

At that time, King Wusun sent dozens of envoys to ask for a marriage with the Han Dynasty with thousands of selected horses as a dowry. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed to marry Princess Xijun, the granddaughter of Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and Princess Xie Wu, the granddaughter of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, to the king of Wusun. After that, Wusun horses entered the Central Plains in large numbers, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy to wave the inscription because of Wusun horses: "Wild horses".

Starting from the north bank of the river in the morning and feeding the horses on the south bank of the river in the evening, it can be seen how fast and handsome the Wusun horse is in people's minds!

When Mo Feitian saw Zhang Jixiang by the crescent spring, she looked at Zhang Jixiang and was taken aback, Zhang Jixiang became black and ugly, and his appearance was completely different, the handsome and free Zhang Jixiang did not exist before, especially the face was deformed due to two big scars. But no matter how ugly he becomes, he is still my sweetheart, the person I love, and my heart for him has not changed. His words and deeds are so familiar, so attached, the hand that is held, feels so strong, snuggled up to his broad chest, feels extremely firm, and the embrace is so warm.

Zhang Jixiang was excited and uncomfortable to see the flying girl, his current status has improved to be a general, but his appearance is ugly, known as the "ghost-faced general", he is no longer worthy of the beautiful flying girl, he just wants to see the flying girl, when he sees the flying girl, I feel that the flying girl still loves me so much, and my heart is very happy. The flying girl is slender and slender, her beautiful face is still so beautiful and unimaginable, her long black hair is still scattered around her waist, her big eyes, and the two sweet dimples when she laughs, she is still so charming, and her heart for Zhang Jixiang's attachment has not changed. Alas! But how unworthy of Zhang Jixiang is now, Zhang Jixiang has such an ugly appearance, a scared appearance like a ghost, compared with her, she is a fairy in the sky, and I am a ghost in the ground, alas! How unworthy of her looks, how unworthy of me are... How I don't want to lose her, she is so good to me, how can I bear to hurt her, leave her, I can only use double my love to treat her better, compensate her, and make her happier.

Feitian walked slowly, and suddenly "bang" a thing fell at Feitian's feet, Feitian felt a stream of residual heat and sticky things splash on his face, instinctively retreated, but his feet no longer obeyed, so Feitian sat on the ground.

Just staring at a pair of staring eyes, the face that was already very ugly took on a strange shape as if it had been flattened by something. Suddenly, I saw a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and the terrifying feeling quickly attacked the nerves in his brain.

"Ahh Yes... Feitian screamed continuously. Then Feitian heard someone in the gloomy "hahahaha" A strange laughter that does not belong to human beings sounded in his ears, Feitian covered his ears with his hands in horror, and his nerves could no longer accept the horror of the devastation,

The Feitian girl's face suddenly turned pale, she was unstable on her feet, her body was weak, she fell, and she closed her eyes, Mo Feitian was stunned by Zhang Jixiang's ugly appearance, what can I do.
