Geng Gong wiped off the bloodstains on the long sword, took a long breath, and said: "Wusun Country is not far away, rest here tonight, tomorrow at dawn, urgently march, and strive to enter Wusun territory from the dangerous road in the afternoon!" ”

The sky was slightly bright, and the more than 1,000 Han warriors embarked on the journey again. After walking for half a morning, Wusun was close at hand. The Han soldiers were cautious, for fear of an ambush. Climbing up this hill from the trail, you have reached the eastern part of Wusun. It's just that this trail is very steep, with a slope of more than 70 degrees, and the width is only enough for one person. In the distance, I saw a sentry tower on the top of the hillside. Geng Gong's heart was tight, if there were guards in the sentry tower, then only a few people, armed with bows and arrows, or rolling wood and stones, condescendingly, attacking from above, the Han soldiers would have no way to retreat, even if they had great ability, they would only die on the spot. Geng Gong ordered his subordinates to stop advancing, and tried to crouch on the side of the trail as much as possible, holding their breath.

Geng Gong said: "Li Kang, do you see, there is a sentry tower on the top of the mountain in front, you and Shi Xiu sneaked up from the path, killed the guards, and occupied the sentry tower." The sentry tower has a favorable location, you must start quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, remember not to startle the snake, do you hear? ”

Li Dare rubbed his palms and fists, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, I, Li Dare to climb up, kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" After speaking, he and Shi Xiu followed the trail, one after the other, and climbed up, and soon became two small black dots. Geng Gong was very uneasy, staring at it, he knew that success or failure was here! After a while, I regretted it a little, why did I send Li Dang? He was so reckless, he should have sent Wu Meng up, but in terms of force, the whole army except himself was counted Li Dare.

It seems that after a long time, two black shadows appeared on the sentry tower on the top of the mountain, waving at Geng Gong, and Geng Gong rejoiced: "Li Kang, Shi Xiu has succeeded!" Hurry up, everyone, and go up the mountain with me. He took the lead and climbed first.

When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I only heard Li Dare sitting on the ground, muttering and complaining: "His grandmother's, this sentry tower is so well repaired, there are no ghosts, and the knife that harms Lao Tzu has not been in the city for a long time!" Wu Meng smiled and said: "If you really set up guards, dare brother, maybe you are already a ghost under the knife!" Li Dare listened, he was very unconvinced, and became angry, seeing that it was Wu Meng, he didn't have a seizure, and his black face was stretched for a long time.

Geng Gong saw that the sentry tower was very well repaired, and there were still some weapons and clothes inside, which were obviously garrisoned before, but were later withdrawn. Geng Gong walked to the window of the sentry tower, looked at everything under the slope, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wusun is the same as the charioteer, he has such a geographical advantage, but he abandons it, it seems that the conquest of Wusun will undoubtedly win!" This is a godsend. ”

Wu Meng came to offer advice and said: "Brother Geng, this is Xia Te City on the eastern border of Wusun, sparsely populated, and a hundred kilometers past this is Chigu City, the capital of Wusun Kingdom. It seems that Wusun Coach Hu Si thought that no one dared to take the ancient road of Xiat, so he concentrated his troops in Ala City, at this time the national capital Chigu City must be empty, or we will kill the general and capture King Yuan Xingzi, Wusun will naturally be pacified. Fan Qiang, Li Dang and others said yes in unison.

Geng Gong said: "Although Brother Meng's plan is wonderful, it can't be used. Do you think, Wusun has not known the great Han Tianwei for a long time, and thinks that the great Han is still in a stormy situation, even if the surprise attack is successful and captures Yuan Xingzi, Hu Si and other Wusun generals are also unconvinced, thinking that they are playing clever, which does not fall into the prestige of the Great Han? When we go to attack Qiuzi and Yanqi again, Wusun will inevitably rebel, and at that time we will be attacked from the head to the end, how dangerous! If we go to the city of Allah at this time, and attack Kusi from behind, Kusi will suspect that we have divine help. Wait for the defeat and sudden thought, and then know that the Han Tianwei and Enwei are used together, and they are not afraid that Wusun will not surrender! ”

Wu Meng, Fan Qiang and others sighed: "This expedition is not to defeat Wusun for a while, but to make Wusun surrender forever. Li Dang was overjoyed and said, "Brother is right, what's the taste of a sneak attack on Chigu?" It's better to fight into Allah, so that the Wusun people can see what we are capable of! Hmph, I heard that Hu Si is more powerful than Nadu of the Driver Division, known as the No. 1 warrior in the Western Regions, but I am not convinced, I must fight him for 300 rounds! ”

Ala City, the lights are bright, a group of generals are eating and drinking, the first person, nine feet tall, the face is like black paint, the eyes are like copper bells, the beard is like an iron needle, the arms have the strength of a thousand catties, good at making double axes, each axe weighs 100 catties, pick up the tiger and the tiger, this person, of course, is the first fierce general of the Wusun country, the king Yuan Xingzi leans on the Great Wall. Under the tent of Su Si, there are four brave generals, namely: Gedu, Wen Chi, Jiaomi, and Weng Guini, all of whom are extremely vicious, and they are not afraid of death when they fight, and they are indomitable, and they are called the Four King Kongs.

Gedu cut off a large piece of meat with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth, poured a large glass of wine, and said vaguely: "Big brother, I heard that the Han Dynasty defeated hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops with tens of thousands of troops, and also subdued the Che Division, and even Khotan, Shule and other countries are dependent on the Han Dynasty, do you think the Han army will come to us?" ”

Suddenly, he rolled his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of meat, and said, "What are the Han soldiers afraid of?" I heard that the Han Dynasty was in civil strife, and was seized of the throne by that Wang Mang and changed to a new dynasty, and the people had no food to eat and no clothes to wear every day, and those who were soldiers were as thin as monkeys. Haha, if they come, I'll tear them into two pieces with both hands! ”

When the crowd heard this, they laughed. Arrogantly laughed: "My spear, has been on the battlefield for a long time, stabbing countless people, I have never tasted the taste of barbarian blood, if I have the opportunity to try it, it will not be in vain to follow me for so many years!" ”

Wen Chi patted the bow and arrow on his back and said, "Haha, the barbarians are coming, let them taste my archery!" "That pair of bows is particularly eye-catching, called the moon chasing bow, the bow is two meters long, the yew handle, the tiger tendon string, there is no more than 100 catties of strength, it can't be pulled. Wen Chi cherishes this bow very much, and takes it with him no matter when he eats or sleeps, and he never leaves it.

Among the four King Kongs, only Weng Guini had some wisdom, and he worried: "Big brother, the defeat of the Xiongnu by the Han soldiers is probably not groundless. On this trip, they will definitely want to conquer the Western Regions and attack our country, it is only a matter of time. We will concentrate all our forces in the city of Ala, I'm afraid it won't work, and the city of Xhatt will also garrison the army. ”

Suddenly, he laughed, staggered over, patted Weng Guini's shoulder hard, and said, "Weng Guini, you are cowardly!" The ancient road of Xiat, rugged and difficult to walk, who eats nothing, risks freezing to death and falling to death, and walks from there with so much effort? Look at the road to the city of Alah, how smooth it is, even a fool knows to choose here! As long as you defend the city of Ala, the country of Wusun will be as stable as Mount Tai! Weng Guini bowed his head and was silent.

Ignoring him, he shouted at the others to continue drinking. was drinking happily, when suddenly, a Wusun soldier rushed in and said, "General, general, no, it's not good." Suddenly, he frowned and said angrily: "Didn't you see that Ben Shuai was drinking?" You have eaten the gall of a leopard, and you dare to ruin the fun! Without saying anything, he picked up the axe, swung it, and cut it right on his head. The man didn't hum, he was dying. As if he hadn't seen it, he sat down beside the corpse and drank it anyway.
