Text Chapter 254 Heroic Flying Against the Dust
The wind gradually rises and falls, the jade gate folds the willows, and the cold dew is pampered.
The flowing clouds rode lightly, the sword led the bow, and the end of the world was broken.
The years are silent for a moment, the yellow sand of the Hanhai Sea, the red face and black hair.
The slanting sun is thin and the embers are at sunset, and the Qingyin Qiang flute is scattered into whose house.
The blood-stained robe is punished by the king, the war dragon is in the wild, and the territory is dominant.
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are picturesque, hand in hand with you, the sky is high and the earth is big.
If you want to say that the most precious thing in the world is human life, compared with the cost of life, ten sweat and blood horses are not much. Therefore, King Dawan agreed without any hesitation. Although his heart was full of hatred and humiliation, the bloody "Jingguan" made him hesitate several times, and finally pressed it down again.
The clear wind blows from the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest, and the grassland is covered with a thin layer of early snow, and the blood that has not yet dried up is soaked in white snow, which looks crystal clear under the sun.
"Friendly" sent the Han delegation to the border of Dawan Qinghuan and his subordinate nobles, watching the group of people show off their martial arts and grandeur calmly, their hearts were mixed.
The own army that followed closely behind finally rushed over and protected the king of Dawan, and only at this time did the people who were terrified all the way finally settle down.
Great Han! You deceive people so much! Dawan is inseparable from you! The anger finally exploded, and everyone began to curse angrily.
"Look! The king...... Look! Pegasus! That's a Pegasus! ”
I don't know whose eyes are sharp, but I was the first to notice it and screamed. When the angry crowd looked up in astonishment, they saw that in a place that was almost out of sight, in the morning glow in the east, a horse as fast as lightning was running towards the figure waiting quietly on the high slope.
Although it was not very real, it could be vaguely identified that the person was the departed Han military captain. A man and a horse, with an intimate expression, lingered for a moment, and then disappeared from view.
"That's, that's our Tensan Ryoma! O king of horses......! ”
"Yes, it's true! That's Ryoma, how could it go with the Han people? W-......?"
Tianshan Dragon Horse, whereabouts rarely appear in the world, can get this horse, should be the king of the Western Regions! This is an old legend, although it is not known where it came from, but it is well known.
Curiosity, fear, doubt, and horror in their hearts, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, and people look at each other, and they don't agree with each other.
King Dawan's face has become very ugly, Tianma! It is a spiritual symbol of the Dawan countries, if it is really taken away by the Han people, then what is the meaning of the Tianma Festival in the future! He immediately ordered to gather all the soldiers and horses and chase after him! Go catch up with the Han people, fight to the death, and take back the Tianma and those sweaty and bloody horses that were blackmailed!
However, the prince's younger brother Yun Huan and several ministers dissuaded him with solemn expressions. Let's not talk about whether their army is the opponent of those Han people, they have already entered the territory of Wusun State now, if Dawan State sends troops to chase it, it will inevitably cause a dispute with neighboring Wusun, and if the Han people do not catch up, but provoke a war with the neighboring country, the situation will be out of control.
After some persuasion, King Dawan, who had blown up his heart and lungs, finally calmed down. The ministers' concerns are right, the grievances with the Han people can be discussed in the long run, and the most urgent thing at the moment is how to deal with the anger of the Hun Hugh Tu King!
The three hundred Hun iron horsemen and the prince of Hutu in the western grasslands of the megatron died in the land of Dawan without explanation, this is a great disaster, if it is not handled well, under the anger of King Hutu, Dawan is facing the catastrophe of annihilation.
After some urgent deliberation, I finally came up with a safe solution. First of all, the corpses of those Huns were collected well, and then they were sent to be able to speak well as envoys, carrying heavy gifts, and sending them back to the Xiongnu steppe. It is necessary to put all the responsibility on the Han envoys this time, and inform the Huns of the Han Dynasty's attempt to reach the Western Regions, so that their burning anger can ignite the beginning of the Han-Hungarian War as soon as possible. And Dawan will definitely help!
How they planned and planned, the Han mission that had already gone away naturally had no way of knowing. Since embarking on the return journey, everyone's hearts have been filled with joy and pride. Go thousands of miles and live up to your mission! When starting from Chang'an, the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor and the little marquis were basically successfully completed and the pre-desired goals were achieved.
Yuan Zhao assigned them these countries on the route, they have already been there, and the customs of each country, the geography and the situation of mountains and rivers, and the attitude towards the Han have been well understood.
The preliminary pathfinding task was successfully completed. Although Zhang Qian did not lead the army independently, he also knew that as long as he handed over the information he got at hand to Yuan Zhao for summarization, it must not be far from the day when the Han army would go to the Western Front and officially open up the passage to the Western Regions.
Most countries had a favorable opinion of the Han Dynasty, and for the Huns, they were forced to obey. I believe that as long as the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu are fighting in the west, they will respond positively. They don't ask for any help from the countries of the Western Regions, as long as they can cut off the supply of the Huns, it is equivalent to cutting off part of the wings of the steppe eagle, and that is enough.
This is exactly the purpose of Yuan Zhao letting them come this time. Whenever he thought of this, Zhang Qian admired Yuan Zhao very much in his heart, and the countries he pointed out really had good intentions towards the Han Dynasty. And the three countries of Loulan, Xiqiang, and Dawan, which let them treat it carefully, were not mistaken, they were really friends and enemies.
According to the information provided by Prince Yu Dan's subordinates, Loulan and Xiqiang were very tame to the Xiongnu, so they didn't even go to these two places, and they bypassed their borders far away. And Dawan's attitude was unknown, and His Majesty the Emperor wanted to get the sweat and blood BMW by name, so they went for a while.
Unexpectedly, Dawan really had an extraordinary relationship with the Xiongnu, and all the people of the mission were almost buried there. Fortunately, there was no danger, thanks to Captain Huo and the fifty Han warriors, they were able to get out smoothly and return safely.
Zhang Qian looked up at the figure at the front, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Changle Hou Yuanzhao is really not an extraordinary person, even the apprentices he taught are also dragons and phoenixes among people!
Feeling everyone's envious gaze, the young lieutenant who took the lead gently patted Hongxue's back, and the horse knew what his master meant, and slowed down his march. It is still a little impatient to walk so slowly, and in its world, there is only indulgence in running and endless galloping!
It has been more than three days away from Dawan Kingdom, so naturally there is no need to worry about chasing soldiers to kill. In fact, Huo Qubing has never been worried, and the rabble organized by those small countries is vulnerable in her eyes.
However, if you can avoid a head-on fight, you still have to avoid it as much as possible, and bring everyone in the mission back safely, which is the task given to her and the Fifty Black Eagle Warriors by the Master.
She stroked Hongxue's soft mane with her hand, and the joy in her heart couldn't be hidden. If there is any biggest gain from her trip, it is to get this Tianshan Dragon Horse. It is so handsome and heroic, and its aura is extraordinary. Along the way, everyone in the Han delegation came to praise it.
"Won't he be happy to give it to Master when he goes back? There are not many things in the world that can enter his eyes, and I hope this horse, he will like ....... ”
Whenever she thought of this, Huo Qu'er became Xiaoice again, and her heart felt a little sweet, and her face full of wind and sand was a little invisible.
On the return journey, when the Han mission passed through the countries along the way, it no longer entered the city, but only passed through the border, and everyone returned to their hearts like arrows, without making too many stops.
The section of the grassland and desert in the area of influence of the Hun cavalry naturally could not pass through. It is impossible to say that with the strength of the fifty Black Eagle Army alone, they want to protect the mission to break through the territory of the Huns. They needed to turn a long way, turn south, and after passing the border of Loulan, go to the source of the great river, where they would be picked up by a fleet led by Yuan 13 and return to the Han border by water.
And Loulan Guo is in the way of this journey. The king of Loulan, who had already known from some channels that the Han envoy was going to pass through this place, put on his golden armor, gathered his 1,000 personal guards, and rode out of the city, blocking the way of the Han envoy.
King Loulan is an adventurous, exciting, murderous, and challenging all the rules of the world. Whether it was the Han Dynasty or the Xiongnu, the two most powerful neighbors, for his ambitions, were just places to ask for provisions.
The Xiongnu and Loulan were separated by a desert, and their iron horses could not easily step on the land of Loulan, so between the two, there was a relationship between the two, and the Xiongnu needed Loulan's goods supply.
And the relationship between Loulan and Dahan is different. The Great Han was too vast, far to the west, and there were very few garrisons. Therefore, those border villages and several small affiliated states have become a good place for the Loulan people to plunder on horseback, and the people in this area have all suffered greatly.
King Loulan's favorite thing is to go out to be a robber in person, robbing and killing, which is really a very happy and physical and mental thing.
This news made him very angry, and he heard that the Han Dynasty mission brought a large number of exquisite goods from the Central Plains and visited various countries to give gifts, but he bypassed Loulan. What do the Han Dynasty people want to do? What do they mean? Unexpectedly despise Loulan Kingdom so much!
Annoyed and angry, King Loulan made a decision, he sent a large number of spies to closely track the news of the Han envoys, and report their whereabouts at any time.
And today, he finally heard what he wanted to hear the most, the Han delegation went around and came back, passing by the border of Loulan, with a heavy bag, loaded with dozens of carts of gold beads and property, it seems that he wants to bypass Loulan and return to the Han Dynasty.
King Loulan stepped on his horse, put down his golden mask, pointed his long knife, and a thousand fierce soldiers under his command followed closely and roared away.
"Kill all the Han people! Loot their belongings! Let all of them know that the king of this region is my Loulan! ”
