Outside the house, the snow was falling, and the sky and the earth were connected by a thick white snow, and it was impossible to distinguish where the sky was and where the earth was. Inside the house, the fire was bright, and the warm old wine exuded a rich aroma, filling the whole room, and a whole leg of lamb that had been roasted on the table had been cut to a few bones.

There is such a thing, and it involves an old case. Cao Xiong and Lin Tianci belong to another country after all, and it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed to sit down again, and they will retire because they are too drunk to drink. The rest of the attendants were also sent away. In the house, only Zhang Fang, Chen Tang, and Gan Yanshou sat and drank in silence.

The experience of the Han envoy Gu Ji is embarrassing.

It should be said that Gu Ji is also a standard Hanshi who dares to take risks and intends to achieve the immortal feats of Bowang (Zhang Qian) and Dingyuan (Ban Chao). It's a pity that his luck was a little less, and he met a reckless Hun Shan Yu, so that his ambition died before he was rewarded.

What is suffocating is that the soul of the strong man is in a foreign land, but the court does not know it, thinking that he is imprisoned like the previous envoys Zhang Qian and Su Wu. Several times he sent envoys to beg people to no avail, and finally he heard from the Wusun people that the bones of the Han envoys were cold......

What's even more sighing is that the emperor, who had learned of the death of the Han envoy and was slapped in the face, remained silent. This silence is a full eight years, not almost nine years.

In the second year of Emperor Jianzhao of the Han Yuan Dynasty, that is, in 37 B.C., this is the era in which Zhang Fang lived, and the exact date.

During this period, although the Xiongnu were already going downhill, the hundred-legged insects were dead but not stiff, and they could still pop out from time to time to disgusting people. The reason why Zhi Zhi dared to do this was in response to the old saying - the mountain is high and the emperor is far away.

The Tianshan Mountains are really high enough, and Zhizhicheng is beyond the scope of the Western Regions, which is already Central Asia. It is more than 10,000 miles away from Chang'an, no, Dunhuang, the westernmost border of the Han Dynasty. The space gave Zhizhi a huge sense of security. At the same time, it also made the Han monarchs sigh.

"Since ancient times, there have been thousands of miles of captives, and I have never heard of thousands of miles of hits. It is not feasible to send troops from Hexi, or even from Sanfu to rebel. Gan Yanshou sighed, like a needle and a beard, and it seemed to curl up slightly under the roasting of the fire, "I asked General Right for advice back then, and he once said that it was not the fault of sending troops from the capital protection mansion, or it was possible to take a risk." Unfortunately, at that time, the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions were undecided, and the troops of the Protectorate were insufficient, so it was difficult to reach a discussion, so it was shelved. ”

"And what about the Western Regions today?" Zhang Fang turned his gaze to Chen Tang, the deputy lieutenant had just conducted a "post investigation", and he must have a general understanding of the situation in the Western Regions.

When it comes to his own duties, Chen Tang's eyes are full of smoke, clear and clear, and he only used 20 words to summarize and explain: "The Huns shrank north and south, and they all protected the center, and there was no Hu cavalry on the plug, and all countries were afraid of it." ”

Well, Chen Tang's words, although slightly suspected of being ambitious, are basically in line with the facts. The Xiongnu had two major singles, one in the south and one in the north, thousands of miles apart, turning against each other, and there was a power vacuum in the entire Western Regions, including Mobei. It was very necessary for the Han Dynasty to seize this opportunity in time to expel the remnants of the Xiongnu, occupy this space, and expand its prestige.

Of course, no matter how much they squeeze out, the Hu people will never be extinct, and when the Huns are gone, other tribes will take advantage of the situation to rise. Plugging the absence of Hu cavalry only means that there are no large Hu cavalry criminals, and small groups of Hu cavalry plundering trade routes, and even chasing and killing Han people (as Zhang Fang encountered this time), it will never be extinct.

The countries of the Western Regions are afraid of convincing, but it is difficult to say whether they are convinced orally or orally. Judging from the actions of the Yanqi people this time, it is most likely the latter...... But in any case, as long as the countries of the Western Regions show their submission, there is much to be done. At least there is no need to worry about the safety of the Metropolitan Protectorate itself, and you can use the power given to the Imperial Court to mobilize the ...... of the prefecture

Gan Yanshou just poured a bowl full of sprinkles, and was about to put it to his mouth, when he heard the words, he paused, his face was still facing the bowl, his eyelids turned up, and he was full of surprise: "Zigong, you, you shouldn't be thinking about ......it" He knows this old friend for more than ten years too well, that kind of expression, that kind of look, only shows one thing - he wants to do a big deal!

Chen Tang had obviously made full research and psychological preparations, and with the help of this matter, coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, he immediately threw his glass up, paced with his hands, and talked eloquently: "Yi Di is afraid of the big species, and his nature is also. The Western Regions originally belonged to the Xiongnu, and now the Zhizhi branch is known for its prestige, invading Wusun and Dawan, and often plotting for Kangju, wanting to surrender it. If these two countries are obtained, they will attack Yili in the north, rest in the west, Yueshi in the south, and Wuyi in the east. And its people are fierce, warlike, and victorious, and if they are long-lived, they will be troubled by the Western Regions. Although Zhi Zhishan is far away, there is no strong crossbow guard in Jincheng. For example, if the officials of Tuntian are sent to drive the soldiers of Wusun, they point directly to the city, and if they die, they will have nothing to do, and the code is not enough to protect themselves, and the work of a thousand years can be achieved in one day. ”

The more Chen Tang spoke, the more excited he became, and finally threw off his robe, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the big kui of warm wine, and drank it with his neck up.

"Good! Great! Zhang Fang laughed, "Don't drink it all, leave me a little." ”

Seeing the two proud "idealists" snatching wine from each other, they were rough and arrogant on the surface, but the careful and responsible Gan Yanshou only shook his head: "How can the court not know about such a thing?" I think that Feng Youjun also crisscrossed the Western Regions back then, intimidating the generations of other countries, but tolerating Zhizhi to this day. The real cause is important, and if you take risks rashly, the consequences are unpredictable, and it is difficult to make a decision. ”

"Any military war is actually a gamble, and the princes of the court should understand this truth better." Zhang Fang pointed to the east and smiled, "The bigwigs in the court just feel that they don't have many chips in their hands, so they don't dare to bet easily." ”

"Well, well said! Gentleman, I think that in terms of identity and appearance, it is only appropriate for you to say this, and the result is ...... Hahaha! Chen Tang pointed at Gan Yanshou and laughed.

Regarding the ridicule of his old friend, Gan Yanshou smiled, stroked his beard, and nodded: "What Zhang Gongzi said is indeed reasonable, and Zigong's ambition to prolong his life is also known...... Why don't we wait for the name to write to the court, and allow us to send troops? ”

To say that Gan Yanshou has no fire in Zhizhi's heart, it is definitely not right, but he has been working in the Central Garrison (Yulin) for a long time, and he is cautious in his words and deeds, so he easily does not express his position. Since the deputy and friend has this suggestion, and the following countries also have the intention of forcing back, then go to the next chapter and ask the imperial court.

Chen Tang nodded at first, and then shook his head disapprenously: "The state and the minister are discussing, and the big policy is extraordinary, and things will not be followed." ”

Chen Tang has also stayed in the DPRK for nearly ten years, although the official position is small, but he is a cold sidestander, and it is generally clear what the direction of the situation is. In the current Han Dynasty, Confucianism flourished, and the words must quote the scriptures, and they were proud of being able to recite poems...... The momentum of swallowing thousands of miles during the Han-Hun War has long been gone, and the eunuchs seized power and suppressed the military, and if they wanted to get approval for the expedition, I am afraid that it would be more difficult than letting Zhi Zhi cut off his head and make amends.

Gan Yanshou still insisted on following the process, playing the court, waiting for approval, and then making a decision.

The two of them looked at Zhang Fang together to see what he meant.

Zhang Fang groaned: "It is naturally best to follow the procedure, but I am afraid that there will be no time to ......."

Gan Yanshou still shook his head, with a resolute expression - just kidding, if you don't want to send troops, you will lose your head!

Zhang Fang and Chen Tang glanced at each other, and each saw the fire beating in each other's eyes.

The wheels of history have been set in motion, and nothing can stop it.
