Chapter 335 [Wangchang An]
A month after Zhang Fang and his entourage left Kangju, news came from the rear that the old king finally failed to see the beauty of the autumn sunset and died of illness in the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing this, the eldest prince rode his horse and galloped across the grassland. Zhang Fang stopped the left and right from catching up, and stayed where he was very determined. Sure enough, half an hour later, the eldest prince came back exhausted with one man and one horse. Since that day, the whole body of the prince has withered, and the energy of self-pride.
In mid-August, Zhang Fang and his entourage entered Akaya Castle again. Here, Zhang Fang finally met his long-awaited old acquaintance, Deputy Envoy Gan Yanshou.
Gan Yanshou came to learn about the turmoil in Wusun in the past year, so that he could report to the imperial court. In addition to some Han Dynasty officials, he was accompanied by Guo Xi, the deputy captain of the Western Regions Protectorate. These two veterans are both fifty years away, but the wind and frost have only added a few white frosts to their temples, and the spirit is still vigorous, worthy of professional veterans.
The first thing Gan Yanshou said when he saw Zhang Fang was: "Mrs. Feng has a successor." ”
As early as 20 years ago, Gan Yanshou once accompanied Mrs. Feng to guard Wusun as a doorman, and admired this female diplomat very much. This time I re-entered Wusun and learned about Zhaojun's deeds, and I was full of emotion.
"When I went out with Yi Xiao to envoy the Huns, I had seen Mrs. Zhaojun, so I really couldn't see that she had such a talent. Tut-tut...... "Gan Yanshou said and admired.
Guo Xi also has regrets: "It's a pity that Guo doesn't have this eye blessing, and he is on the side." I thought that the prince was going to return to Chang'an with the United States, but I didn't expect ......"
Zhang Fang said meaningfully: "The gentleman also said that Mrs. Feng has a successor. If Zhaojun returns to Chang'an with me, it will only be a beautiful lady in Houmen. And in the Western Regions, in Star Picking City, she is Mrs. Zhaojun. Her value is here. ”
Gan Yanshou smiled heartily, and Guo Xi thoughtfully.
Zhang stayed in Chigu Castle until the end of August, and then returned east with Gan Yanshou, Guo Xi, and others. Gan Yanshou's envoy group originally wanted to take a look at Star City, but the distance was really a bit far, and the time could not be consumed, so if he didn't set off, he wouldn't want to go back to Chang'an this year.
Zhang Fang actually wanted Gan Yanshou to go directly to Star City and control the overall situation for himself. It's a pity that Gan Yanshou was ordered to Wusun to investigate, and after completing the task, he must return to Chang'an to hand over the order and explain the situation of the Wusun incident to the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials.
Zhang Fang has communicated with Gan Yanshou, and after Gan Yanshou returns to Chang'an to hand over the order, he will rest for a period of time and handle the affairs of the mansion well, and Zhang Fang will ask the Son of Heaven to send Gan Yanshou to pick up Star City again. With this veteran who is familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions and has a great reputation in the Western Regions, especially in Kangju, he is believed to play an important role in stabilizing Star Picking City and building a strong army.
For letting this veteran, who is over fifty years old, run around for his own affairs, Zhang Anxin is still very sorry. However, Gan Yanshou didn't care, but was very happy, and in his words, "I'm just a martial artist, I should have been busy with side affairs, but I always sat in the room, and I was bored and suffocated." ”
Gan Yanshou's words are not humble words, in history, this fierce general is depressed, trapped in the square room, bored and sick, and died of illness before the age of sixty.
There are some people in this world who are not idle, and when they are idle, something will happen, and Gan Yanshou is undoubtedly this kind of person. The more Maxima is, the more he can't always be tied to the trough, otherwise no matter how good his foot strength is, it will be wasted.
There is no doubt that when Zhang Fang changed the direction of the overall historical situation, he also influenced and changed the fate of these historical figures.
Gan Yanshou's fate is about to change, what will happen to his old partner Chen Tang?
……
At the end of September, Zhang Fang and his entourage arrived at the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate. To Zhang Fang's delight, the second group of Han people led by Mo Qin was also here, and was about to leave for Chigu City. The second group of Hermes-Epitek numbered more than 1,000 people, and many of them were quite strong.
Zhang Fang told Mo Qin that most of the 30,000 cattle and sheep and 100,000 pasture grass paid by the first day were used for the first batch of Han immigrants. However, there are still about 5,000 cattle and sheep and more than 20,000 catties of pasture grass in Akiti City, and some of them will be credited to Dakunmi, which will be enough to support until next spring. At present, the person in charge of Star Picking City in Chigu City is Xi Nu, the former head of Wusun Hundred People is already an official officer of Star Picking City, and let him be in charge of this part, but he makes the best use of his talents.
At the beginning of October, the east and west gates of Wulei City were opened, and the two convoys of people and horses went out of the city in a mighty way, and they walked with their backs. One was a team of Han immigrants, heading west, aiming for Wusun Chigu Castle. The other is naturally Zhang Fang and Gan Yanshou and their party, aiming at Yumen Pass.
No matter which team you are, you must arrive at your destination within a month or a month and a half, otherwise you will be in danger of being blocked in the middle of the road by wind and snow.
In the middle of November, in the wind and snow, before the Jade Gate was closed, the city gate was a little bored. When the cold winter is approaching, the merchants at the pass are greatly reduced, and at this time of the year, it will stop, and the city gate is also used to it.
"Old Wu, third son." The city gate shouted to the sergeant guarding the gate, "It's the end of the Shen period, right?" It's time to close the gates......"
Before the sergeant guarding the door could answer, a rider suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a bright red banner high, faintly shouting something.
The soldiers defending the city poured out and listened attentively. After a while, the young sergeant named Sanzi muttered, "Envoy...... Reunion, return...... Don't close the gates ......"
Chengmen Cheng looked confused, and subconsciously repeated: "The envoy group ...... Return? Envoy...... What the?! The Legions are back! ”
The entire jade door was closed and exploded.
After a month and a half, Zhang Fang and Gan Yanshou's envoys finally rushed back to Yumen Pass and returned to Dahan.
In the crowd of people who welcomed him, Zhang Fang, who was riding a horse and walking at the front, vaguely heard someone shouting: "Zhang Gongzi! Zhang Gongzi is a Han envoy! ”
Zhang Fang followed the prestige and saw two familiar faces, although it had been five or six years, with his amazing memory, he still remembered it clearly. Zhang Fang smiled and waved his hand: "Old Wu, third son, don't come unharmed." ”
Lao Wu and the third son are so excited! Unexpectedly, after many years, Zhang Gongzi, who was already a liege and a Han envoy, could still remember them, and even called out their names......
"Who said that nobles forget things, Zhang Gongzi is such a big nobleman, he still remembers my old Wu ......" Lao Wu sighed, rubbed his hands, and his eyes and nose were equally red.
The third son couldn't speak, only two clear noses flowed, and he didn't know whether he was frozen or moved.
The envoys rested at Yumen Pass until February of the following year, and then set off again, and two months later, the envoys finally reached Chang'an.
Leaning on the horse Guan Pavilion and seeing the gate tower of Yongmen in Chang'an, Zhang Fang, who was very calm all the way, suddenly made a move that stunned the officials of the envoy corps - this young Marquis of Fuping actually broke away from the brigade, took the lead, and rushed to the city gate!
- Chang'an, I'm back again!
