"Then Brother Chu, what are you secreting?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Chu Da and asked, after chatting for a long time, he only felt that Chu Da was scared and scared, so he chose such an opportunity to get out quickly.

But it was not bad from what he thought before, except for denying Chen Ajiao that this person was Chu Da, Zhang Yuan was not surprised by anything else.

"Your Majesty is not willing to let me resign.

This matter has a lot to do with you, Du Xian and his party are to say goodbye to you and to let Ah Yuan help me. ”

Liu Che's habit of catching a person and having to squeeze out the surplus value of others, Zhang Yuan is no longer surprised.

Just wool, and human beings still belong to the non-renewable breed of wool, and not everyone is Zhang Yuan has a system.

Once the wool has been cleaned, it is basically impossible to live comfortably.

Dong Zhongshu didn't give full play to his residual heat in the last days, and the whole book of "Spring and Autumn Prison Break" came out.

Sima Xiangru is dead, and there is nothing in the house, and the only article is still a slap of Liu Che's ass.

Zhang Tang and these cool officials were even killed when they ran out, without any mercy.

"Could it be that it has something to do with the map of the desert?"

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while, what he was doing now, Taixue's normal work over there had basically come to a standstill, and what could make Liu Che worry so much was related to the desert map.

"Yes, Your Majesty asked me to go deep into Mobei and defect to the Xiongnu Shan Yu Junchen.

On the one hand, it is to verify the authenticity of the map you presented, and on the other hand, it is to wait for the opportunity to provide information to the Han army, if I can annihilate the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, I will be relaxed. ”

After Chu Da finished speaking, he was very calm and a little yearning.

He said it in a relaxed tone, just like the patients Zhang Yuan had seen who had cancer, and felt that death was the easiest outcome.

"How can you, a Han Chinese, go to the Xiongnu to be a spy and gain the trust of the Huns?"

Zhang Yuan felt that Liu Che was just laying a shadow at random, and it didn't matter if it could be used or not.

For Liu Che, Chu Da can play his role best, and if he can't play it, he will die on the side of the Huns, so he will be able to atone for the disaster of witchcraft this time.

"There are ghost slaves over there, and the Han people are actually not conspicuous.

Besides, the Bank of China said that I would reveal some trivial secrets to the Huns when necessary, so as to gain their trust. ”

What worries Zhang Yuan is not whether Chu Da can get in, but Chu Da's identity is too conspicuous.

No matter how depressed a former doctor of the Han is, he will not go to the desert to suffer, and the Huns are not fools.

This is all about putting your own safety in the hands of the enemy, and hoping that the enemy is a fool.

"No, it's still too risky, the military minister has already been deceived by us once in Mayi, and he should be even more worried about the Han people.

Although the Xiongnu tribe is not monolithic, they can still maintain a consistent attitude towards foreign people.

Your Majesty probably didn't think that you would succeed, secretly go to the grassland, and then sneak back to find a secret place to live a dull life? ”

The world is so big, there are many places for people to live in seclusion alone, Zhang Yuan can find a place for Chu Da casually, and Liu Che will not be able to find it for the rest of his life.

"I can do this, but what about the people in the family?

Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to keep an eye on me, because he knew it was useless to stare at me.

At most, they kept staring at me until the desert, and those embroidered messengers had no way to keep along.

I can't be so selfish, if I do that, it would be good if my children and my family were punished with death by His Majesty.

What if... If they are adopted as official slaves, their lives will be over, and our Chu family will have no chance to rise for generations.

I've seen this kind of thing too much. ”

Zhang Yuan has never seen an example of a family being suppressed into slavery, and perhaps his usual work is a little too far away from these.

In fact, Zhang Yuan can go to receive some veterans to guard the courtyard, but he has received a few before and still used it, and Zhang Yuan has never thought about the remaining places.

And those handmaidens Zhang Yuan didn't think about it, Zhang Yuan was used to taking care of himself, and Zhang Yuan had secrets that could not be told by others, so the handmaiden was not important.

Someone cooks for you, someone does the laundry, and there isn't much else to do at this time.

As for some bells and whistles, Zhang Yuan has always been eager to try, but he has no choice but to be thin-skinned.

"The most terrible thing is that you will suffer unbearable humiliation in the Tingwei Mansion."

Zhang Yuan sighed, and also understood Chu Da's current mood.

Not to mention anything else, he spent a day or two in the Tingwei Mansion, but he saw a punishment method that matched the cool officials.

"Do you know what the Bank of China said?"

Zhang Yuan saw that Chu Da was very bored, so he asked him.

"A eunuch sent to the Xiongnu side in the past, after His Majesty explained this matter to me, I consulted the archives of the Daxing Decree Mansion.

Only then did I know some of this person, Ah Yuan, why did you suddenly ask about him? ”

Almost instantly, Zhang Yuan's train of thought jumped so that Chu Da was a little confused.

It was only after so many years of understanding that Zhang Yuan knew a little bit about the beginning and end of things.

Regarding the Bank of China, only the archives record such a name, and he appears on the archives as a eunuch in the entourage of the lord of the family.

Then this person's file only has a few short words left in the Xiongnu and not returned.

Sometimes Zhang Yuan likes Sima Qian very much, but he has to say that this guy writes things the same way that a historical online writer writes history.

True and false, false and true.

"Is this guy dead or not dead on the Huns?"

"I guess I'm dead, no Han Chinese have ever lived for so long on the Xiongnu side.

Even those ghost slaves under Han Wangxin's hands in the past were impossible. ”

"I have a way to help you infiltrate the Huns, but I don't know if Your Majesty will agree."

The Huns had a rather strange characteristic.

If they caught the Han Chinese officials, they would not have killed them.

But if you meet those who take the initiative to give them a hug, you will always be suspicious.

It may have something to do with the fact that this nation has not stopped burning, killing and looting.

What they stole is their own, and what others send may be a trap.

The military minister had already suffered a loss from the latter, and if he wanted to fool the past, he had to let the Huns take the initiative.

Zhang Yuan is also a little strange, now Zhang Qian is estimated to be still on the side of the Huns, and there will be a Su Wu in the future. 187

The Huns just didn't kill them, but if it weren't for the fact that these two guys came back later, it is estimated that they would have forgotten about these two people for a while.

It is basically impossible to exchange these two people for anything of value, and the Huns have never mentioned these two people.

Su Wu was later forgotten by the Huns, if it weren't for the accession of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty to reach a peace agreement with the Huns, and put forward Su Wu, maybe Su Wu would really have to stay in Beihai for a lifetime.

Therefore, the method that Zhang Yuan thought of was basically the same as the experience of Su Wu and Zhang Qian.

It is to let Liu Che find a reason to casually let Chu Da take a team of men and horses to envoy the Xiongnu, or to envoy those small countries in the Western Regions, anyway, Hexi has not been opened yet.

The Han Dynasty has not yet been connected with the roads of the Western Regions, and the northwest is basically surrounded by the Xiongnu, and Chu Da with people is as short as half a month and as long as a month or two, and he must have been caught by the Huns on the desert.

When the time comes, I would rather die than give in, and finally let the big man reveal some news from the past.

It probably means that Liu Che thought that Chu Da had surrendered to the Huns and had killed his entire family.

Chu Da threw himself into the arms of the Huns with great grief, and the success rate was extremely high.

Zhang Yuan thought about it so quickly, and estimated that the success rate could be at least 80%.

And in the end, Li Ling's seemingly surrendered to the Xiongnu was not much different from this routine.

"What is the way to go through Your Majesty?

Now His Majesty is in a state of rage, I'm afraid that if I try to mention it, I won't succeed. ”

Chu Da's current appearance is as if he is a death when he returns to Chang'an City.

"No, Your Majesty is irritable, but he understands the seriousness of things.

Our Majesty is a selfish man, and selfishness is not a bad thing.

At the very least, he would not refuse some suggestions that would work in his favor. ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan said this, Chu Da nodded reassuringly, and then Zhang Yuan slowly explained his thoughts to Chu Da.

In any case, there will still be a chance of failure, and Zhang Yuan, as a friend, has done his best to make Chu Da come back from the desert alive.

However, regardless of failure or success, this result is not carried by Zhang Yuan or Liu Che, and only Chu Da is the only person who bears it.

Zhang Yuan must explain it to Chu Da.

"Ah Yuan, how do you know that Zhang Qian is now under the control of the Huns?"

In order to reassure Chu Da, Zhang Yuan pouted all of a sudden, and told Zhang Qian's matter.

Thanks to Chu Da for stopping in time, otherwise Zhang Yuan would have told Su Wu as well, it would have been a real pit.

Xiao Su Wu is estimated to be only ten years old now...

"Didn't the battle of Mayi capture the high priest of the Xiongnu earlier, although he didn't say Zhang Qian, but he mentioned that the Xiongnu also captured some Han envoys.

I thought that over the years, the only one who had to pass through the Xiongnu territory and had no news at all was Zhang Qian. ”

Chu Da nodded as if he had suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see, according to what you say, I may still run into Zhang Qian?"

"Yes, you have to run into him, tell him that the Otsuki clan still has to go to the west, and bring more seeds back on the way.

Nothing else is very important, the seeds of various plants are the most important. ”

Zhang Yuan can't directly complain that the alliance with the Dayue Clan is whimsical, but it's okay to remind you what is the most important.

The current Zhang Qian is not the future Bowanghou, nor is it the treasure in Liu Che's palm.

Zhang Qian, who has been trapped in the Xiongnu territory for a long time, still has the fear of Dr. Hanqing, after all, his status is too bad.

It is even possible to mistake Zhang Yuan's words for Liu Che's meaning.

Chu Da obviously knew Zhang Qian's purpose for sending the Dayue Clan, but Zhang Yuan was a little confused when he said this now.

All Han people are unfamiliar with the area to the west of the Han Dynasty, and their impression is basically blank.

There are some Qiang people living in Qinghai, but there are not many, and the Han emperors of the past dynasties have little interest in this place where birds don't.

As for the Tibetan boundary, except for some Qiang people living on both sides of the Brahmaputra River, there are no human footprints in the rest of the country.

This is a realm that even the gods of heaven have forgotten, so don't expect the kings of the earth to remember it.

As soon as Zhang Yuan said this, Chu Da realized that Zhang Yuan was a little mysterious.

Seeing Chu Da's somewhat confused eyes, Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly and explained.

"Brother Chu, have you forgotten what I used to do?

I used to farm, and I didn't get the potatoes and watermelons and beets you ate from Hu Shang in Nanxiyi.

They said there were more food seeds in the west, you know, I don't have any other desires, I just love to eat them.

What I just said is all my personal opinion, but if you can really find the same food seeds as potatoes, it will be a great achievement, and the benefit will be in the future, and the merit will be in the generations. ”

"Ah Yuan, you're right, it's too illusory to say that you're forming an alliance with the Great Moon Clan.

It is still the right way to let the people have their full stomachs. ”

The two didn't know where Zhang Qian was, so they began to discuss how to instill Zhang Qian with some ideas that he didn't have originally.

In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't know where Zhang Qian was now, he remembered that he was arrested and went to the royal court of the Huns, but there were two royal courts of the Huns.

In the early days of Liu Che's reign, there were actually three locations that were particularly important and easily confused, and there was no way to verify the detailed locations.

One is Dragon City, which has been attacked once by Zhang Yuanweiqing.

The other is the original royal court of the Xiongnu, that is, Touman City.

Then the Xiongnu exterminated several tribes in the north, whether it was a country or not, anyway, in order to control a large area in the north, they moved the royal court north.

Therefore, there is a distinction between the north and south royal courts, but the one on the side of Wolf Juxu Mountain is the northern royal court, that is, Shan Yuting, which is more important.

According to Zhang Yuan's guess, Zhang Qian should have been caught in Manchester City.

Otherwise, his escape would not have been so smooth, Shan Yuting in Wolf Juxu Mountain was thousands of miles away from the Western Regions, and it was basically in the control area of the Xiongnu.

As long as Tou Manchester City goes hundreds of miles to the west, it will be easier for Tou Manchester City to enter the boundary of Hexi, and in terms of the difficulty of escaping, Tou Manchester City will be easier.

Zhang Yuan didn't know if his guess was true, but thousands of miles away in Toumancheng, there was a man in Han look and bearded clothes looking up at the sky.

And his hands are still inadvertently gesturing on the air.

As if to verify something, but after a while he sighed and returned to his tent.

This is the case with the nomads, who tamp a wall of mud and enclose a circle to create a city, but in fact there are tents made of animal skins.

The guards of the Huns were not very strict, at least no one deliberately stared at this place where the Han people lived.
