"Captain Gongsun, are we going back to tell you? The Kushan people are coming! ”

Si Tari looked around cautiously, and hurriedly asked, in his opinion, these things can already prove that Guishan is coming, however, Gongsun Chan didn't pay attention to him, he held a long knife, looked at it seriously for a moment, shook his head, and said: "It's not sure yet, the long knife or Guishuang's, but Guishuang has been in foreign trade with the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and many Guishuang's items should have been transmitted to the Western Regions..."

"What's more, even if it's the Kushan people, we have to be able to determine their number, identity, etc., whether they are the soldiers of the Guishan, or the rogue thieves over there..."

"Captain, this place is so vast, how can we search?"

"We've been on the road for so long, and many small countries haven't said anything like invasion and plunder, and it seems that our enemies... It's still ahead, and it hasn't reached the heart..."He pulled the tower on the side over and said: "Next, I will let Chen Jun accompany you, you take a few people, go back, go to the Western Regions Protectorate, let him order, all the countries are on guard, check if there are any thieves from outside the Saiwai around!" ”

"Respectfully!"

"The rest of you, follow me on the search!"

After Gongsun Zhan's army passed through the desert, he finally saw the mountains and forests, which made Gongsun Chan extremely happy, the happiest people were Donghao people, they never thought that there was such a strange place in the world, there are grasslands, deserts, wastelands, mountains, mountains, forests, Donghao people may not be happy, but there is water is different.

Seeing the lush, tall and majestic green mountains in the distance, the Xiaoyong battalion couldn't help but let out an exclamation, Gongsun Chan left some people optimistic about the camel supplies, and the rest of the people went into battle lightly, going to the mountains and forests, there are still no people here, occasionally you can hear the wolf howl, the soldiers are looking around, as a result, they are here, they found a lot of traces.

There are traces left by the carriages and horses shuttling by, there are fallen goods, and even, these goods are still brand new, and they have not suffered any damage, the more things are found, the more careful everyone becomes, Gongsun Chan does not want to waste too much time, and directly asks the soldiers to scatter and search, but orders them not to go too far, and must not cut off contact.

Speaking of which, Mi Reyi, a Kangju man who has been following Gongsun Zhan's side, is the most shocked, he has never seen such a military brigade, they seem to be very able to endure hardships, just that desert, these people can withstand the heat of the day, the cold of the night, the march without interruption, it only took five days to cross the desert, as a local, he is a little unbearable!

After rushing to the mountains and forests, these soldiers lowered their bodies one by one, searching everywhere, like a skilled hunter, some soldiers, unable to see the distant boundaries clearly, climbed to those tall trees in two or three clicks, if they did not move, they did not know where he was, the figure was completely covered by the leaves, and their contact methods were also amazing.

They learn the calls of various birds and inform each other of the situation, and Gongsun Chan often listens to the calls, and can make a variety of different reactions, Mi Reyi listened to it for several days, and he was still confused, but he finally understood a bird sound, which was a sharp call, three times in a row, which meant that there were wild beasts in front of him, which he personally experienced.

Thinking that he had almost torn apart his bear just now, he remembered this cry in his heart.

After hearing a crisp sound, Gongsun Chan stood up suddenly, this move, Mi Reyi beside him was also startled, Gongsun Chan quickly rushed to the front, and the soldiers behind him quickly followed, Gongsun Chan frowned, took off the strong bow behind him, and looked through the bushes, in the distance, there were about seven or eight carriages and horses, and some people, just standing on the carriage, looking around vigilantly.

Gongsun Chan looked at his appearance carefully, and suddenly shouted: "Gongsun Chan, the captain of the Han Dynasty, is here, who is in front of him?!" ”

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's voice, those people were startled, and then reacted, but they hurriedly shouted: "We are a business traveler for foreign trade!" After hearing Gongsun Zhan's voice, these people had already gotten up, looked around with some trepidation, and saw Gongsun Chan in armor coming over, and they almost cried.

With the support of the two, an old man walked in front of Gongsun Zhan.

"General! Thank you, General! He trembled and bowed to Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Kushan! They attacked the caravan and followed all the way, they also cut off the communication between Lule and the outside world, surrounded Lule, we fled all the way, we all fled, many people were caught, we hid here, prayed every day..."As he spoke, many birds flew up in the mountains and forests in the distance, and they shouted in a hurry, and scattered around.

When the old man saw it, he immediately panicked, and everyone was also extremely frightened.

"Come with us, you don't want carriages and horses, the mountains and forests here are not suitable for riding horses, we have extra horses!" Gongsun Chan ordered, and the surrounding Donghao soldiers also appeared, and rushed to the direction where they came with the people, Gongsun Chan walked at the end, with everyone, walking cautiously, the situation was very bad, if it was just them Donghao people who fled and wanted to leave here, it would not be difficult!

However, with these businessmen, Gongsun Chan didn't know if he could dodge.

Simply, in this mountain forest, the enemy has no way to chase after the horse, galloping all the way, and not resting much, out of the mountain, the soldiers outside the mountain have long noticed the sound in the distance, some people have been riding camels, away from here with supplies, the rest of the people are waiting for the arrival of Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan and others came, did not say much, directly on the horse, the merchants who came, also got on the horse, a few people had no choice, can only share a horse.

Gongsun Chan gave an order, and the soldiers rushed away!

As soon as they left the mountain forest, a group of people rushed out of the mountain forest, they realized that the other party had fled here on a horse, and roared angrily, and Gongsun Chan did not care about the situation here, with this group of merchants, towards the original way back, on the way back, Gongsun Chan only understood that the original Guishan people were also divided into many cavalry teams, constantly searching for merchants.

Under the guidance of the merchants, Gongsun Chan also found a lot of scattered merchants, and occasionally encountered Guishan's soldiers, but this army was always able to dodge, rushing left and right, more flexible than rabbits, sometimes closed, sometimes scattered, so that the thieves who came to pursue were extremely aggrieved, so they rushed all the way to the vicinity of Qiuzi country, and then stopped to rest.

Of course, it was not because the soldiers of the Xiaoyong battalion couldn't run, but because the merchants couldn't bear it, and they rode for many days, so that their thighs were worn out, and their legs were in severe pain, and because of the heat, dehydration and other reasons, they couldn't stand it anymore.

After arranging the merchants, he sent someone to get in touch with Dong Zhuo, inform him of the situation here, and let Dong Zhuo quickly lead the army to come, while he himself was repairing around, and after repairing for two days, he led the army to the Lule area again, he must always know the enemy's movements, and if necessary, to entangle them, and not let them escape easily.

The messenger sent by Gongsun Zhan, half a month later, with the help of the kings from all over the country, found the army of Dong Zhuo who came and hurriedly handed over the letter of Gongsun Zhan, Dong Zhuo at this time, has led the troops to be stationed in Luntai, and when he saw Gongsun Zhan's letter, he immediately ordered the soldiers to send troops, and Gongsun Chan explained everything in detail in the letter.

First of all, this group of troops, they are not the official army of Kushan, according to the merchants, the current Kushan king Vesudeva, that is, the only son of the former Kushan king Hu Sega, is not a very ... The shrewd king, however, was also very supportive of foreign trade with the Han and did not oppose it, but because of his mediocrity, several princes of Marakanda, Lan City, and Minagara, together opposed his rule.

And the ridiculous thing is that this Vesudeva did not even suppress it, but let them do it on the grounds that these regions were backward and consumed national strength, which was originally in line with the wishes of the princes, and they no longer paid attention to this king, but only Maracanda, the king here seems to have a similar way of understanding to Vesudeva, and he proposed that Vesudeva cannot be a king, and the king should be the younger brother of King Husseka, Greesika.

In the name of supporting Rashika, he launched a war against Vesudeva, who hated his uncle Waseka the most in his life, so he could not sit still, and the two groups fought near Mount Hindu Mosh, with Vesudeva having the upper hand.

Originally, these had nothing to do with the merchants, but after the defeat of the Maracanda army and the capture of the king alive, Vesudeva did not forgive his soldiers, but threatened to wash all the participants in blood, which made the Maracanda army flee in the direction of Dawan and Liule, and the merchant brigade of the Han Dynasty was also attacked by them.

Dawan had already fought with them, and Lule was no exception, but because there were a large number of exiled rebels looting outside the Saiwai, the two countries had no way to convey the news to the Western Regions Protectorate, and they did not seem to want to be attacked by the Han army, so they only operated in Dawan, Lule, and Shache, that is, in the Green Ridge area.

Dong Zhuo sent this letter to the captain of Shuluntai and asked him to hand it over to the temple, and then hurriedly led the army to the Green Ridge.

The army is moving, mighty, Dong Zhuo urged all the way, but the speed of the march is not fast, it is really weird here, a few days ago, it was still extremely hot, unbearable, but now, it quickly became cold, the cold wind was biting, the snow was overwhelming, the wind and snow here were very big, and the march suddenly became a very difficult thing, and even some could not see the road clearly.

Although this is a bad thing for Dong Zhuo, it is a great joy for Gongsun Zan in the distance.

In these days, he led the brave battalion, moving back and forth around the Green Ridge, constantly harassing, and the Kushan rebels were also angry, sending a large number of cavalry to search for them and ambush them, but it was useless, they didn't even catch a brave battalion soldier, and ran back and forth in the Green Ridge area with these Kushan rebels.

The sudden snowstorm did frighten Gongsun Zhan, which made their escape difficult, but it was the Guishan people who were even more frightened.

I saw those Guishan people, looking at the wind and snow in the sky, kneeling on the ground, crying, and frantically fleeing from here under fear.

And Gongsun Zhan, who was observing them from a distance, had a kind smile on his face.

Isn't it, you don't get snow there??

That's easy to do.
