~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The hourglass flowed backwards for twenty-four hours, two hundred miles away from the flesh and blood of the beacon, one of the two major fulcrums of the Western Regions of the Great Han Dynasty, and the Han army garrison on the river wall was peaceful.

As far as the eye can see, a large river divides the barrier into two banks, the left bank is everywhere, smooth as a square, the long wind blows, the golden waves roll like waves, the figure of the peasants can be seen working from time to time, and everywhere is full of the joy of harvest. On the right bank of the river, there are dense blades of grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and the shadow of a shepherd appears in the herd of livestock.

On both sides of the river, the mulberry pastures, the atmosphere of agricultural civilization and the rough blend of nomadic habits, have a unique style. If it weren't for the patrolling cavalry that rode by from time to time, it would be hard to believe that this was a military camp.

In the left bank of Qianmo, there is a rammed earth road with a width of more than ten zhang, and at the end of the road, it leads directly to the Han army camp. At this moment, a group of Han patrol cavalry in light brown military uniforms was galloping towards this avenue. And in this cavalry team, there were two knights dressed in motley clothes and covered in dust.

A peasant straightened up and shouted at the cavalry: "Du team rate, have you caught a fine work again?" Is it a Hunu spy or a horse thief? ”

The man who was called "Du Team Rate" by the peasants was a knight about thirty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and fine eyes, a circle of beard, and a strong physique. The knight wears a brown coat with a dark cuirass, no armor skirt, no helmet, and only a flat top. Carrying a feather box, there is a dark brown long tail feather on the left and right - this is a kind of identification of the Han military officials, called "negative feather". The two brown feathers are the team leader, and they lead fifty people.

Team Du's eyebrows were twisted into a pimple at the moment, obviously there was something troubled, and when he heard this, he shouted at the farmers: "Shoulder season, less nonsense, this is ...... This is something you ought to know, and beware of the law making trouble for you. ”

The farmer grinned: "Okay, okay, I'm talking...... I said Lao Du, if you are rewarded with wine and food, don't forget to call our brothers. He laughed with the peasants.

Amid the laughter, the cavalry had gone far and headed straight for the camp gate.

There is no emergency military situation, and galloping horses are strictly prohibited in the barracks. As soon as they entered the camp, the patrol cavalry dismounted. Team Du threw the reins and didn't look back: "Look at these two people, I'll report to the captain." ”

Team Du led the team to the captain's office, bowed down, and said in a rough voice: "The Jiatun Ding team led Du Xun, and there is a military report to the captain." ”

The halberd guard on duty in front of the door nodded to him: "Team Du is waiting, the captain is meeting guests, and waiting." ”

"This ...... The matter is urgent. Du Xun took a few steps forward and took out a square, seal-like package from the leather bag he carried, "Please submit this thing to the captain, whether you see it or not, but it is up to the captain to decide." ”

Seeing Du Xun's anxious expression, the halberd guard did not dare to slack off, took the package, checked it slightly, showed a different color, said a little later, and walked in quickly.

Holding the package, the halberd-wielding guard bypassed the main hall and entered the inner courtyard through the side door, where a sturdy two-story wooden building appeared in front of him. There is a team of halberd-wielding armor guards downstairs, and there is a burst of laughter upstairs: "I have heard that Zigong is good at drinking, and my younger brother has ten urns of fine wine sent by the chariot master Wang Gang, and I am about to invite Zigong to taste it, and I am not drunk and has no return." Hahaha......"

Another Zhongzheng calm voice laughed: "I think when I was in Chang'an, I also sold wine in Huwanton, and it is indeed a good wine." Later, I heard from the king that the wine was not pure...... Hahaha. Impure is already so, if it is of the highest quality, how attractive it is. ”

"That's the princess, the driver is the producer of grape wine in the Western Regions...... Come, the younger brother doesn't say much, and the son-in-law will know after a drink. Come on, take the wine from the king of the car master and ......"

"Captain, the Jiatun Ding team led Du Xun to ask for a meeting, saying that there is urgent military affairs."

There was a sudden silence in the wooden building, and then the voice of the guest came: "Pepsi in the Western Regions, military affairs first, please deal with it first, don't pay attention to the soup." ”

"In this way, you will be snubbing the prince, please go into the inner room first and wait, wait for a certain inquiry to understand, if there is no major matter, then drink with the child guild."

At this time, the halberd guard hurriedly handed the package to the internal guard, who sent it inside. After a while, there was a shout: "Where are the people?" Ask Du Xun to bring me ...... No, please come here. ”

After half the incense, Du Xun had already led two people into the main hall - not the courtyard wooden building, it was the inner courtyard, where relatives and friends were entertained, and outsiders had to meet in the main hall.

At the head of the main hall, a few days later, on the pou mat, a person sat on his knees. This person has a thin face and an ordinary appearance, but has a large skeleton and thin eyes. There are several obvious or inconspicuous scars on his face and neck, which makes his whole person look very unusual.

At this moment, there was a copper seal and a lacquered wooden plaque on the desk in front of him, and this person's eyes turned from the objects on the case to the two people in the hall, and slowly spoke: "Which one is the right lieutenant of Wudan?" ”

The next person in the hall looked up and responded: "It's Cao." ”

"Then this is ......"

"The Fuping Marquis Mansion guards Deng Zhan."

The two people in the hall are the distress messengers sent by Zhang Fang, Cao Xiong and Deng Zhan. At this time, he looked at the man expectantly.

This person nodded: "A certain is the captain of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, the guard of the river wall, Guo Xi." ”

This is exactly the savior that Zhang Fang has been waiting for.

Cao and Deng coincidentally asked Guo Xi to check their heads, and Deng Zhan said even more eagerly: "Two hundred miles to the northeast, the young master of my family was besieged by the Huns and the Khan, please send a rescue to Captain Guo quickly, but I am too late." ”

"Don't be busy, moisten your throat first, and then tell me the ins and outs." Guo Xi sat upright and motioned for the attendant to serve buttermilk.

Deng Zhan held the pulp bowl in his hand, although his throat was like coke, he didn't care about taking a sip, and used the fastest speed to tell the beginning and end of the incident one by one, buying time.

The more Guo Xi listened, his eyebrows raised, and he was silent on the surface, but he sneered in his heart: What thousands of miles to save the Han people, attacking Hu Ying at night, speaking better than singing. It's not that he hasn't seen the noble son of Chang'an, although there is no shortage of courageous people, but for a group of ordinary people to be able to do this, looking at the world, how many people can there be? This matter is extremely credible, and there is no hidden truth in it.

Of course, the bronze seal of this Wudan detachment from the right commander is not fake, and the waist card of the Fuping Marquis Mansion is not fake.

Guo Xi thought about it for a while, and found the most reasonable explanation, that is, there were indeed people trapped by the Huns two hundred miles away, but it was not the young marquis of Fuping, but the little king of Jiankun. Therefore, Wudan is separated from the people who sacrifice their lives to protect each other. As for why people from the Fuping Marquis Mansion were involved, this is also easy to explain. The three generations of the Marquis of Fuping have taken business profits, so that the rich Jiajing Division, within the four seas, regardless of Huyi, there are business contacts. During the years he guarded the North Tianshan Road, it was not uncommon to see people wearing the family emblem of the Marquis of Fuping mixed with Hu Shang.

Needless to say, this matter is mostly a matter of mutual benefit for both parties. This Fuping Marquis Mansion Guard borrowed the name of the mansion and wanted to ask himself to send troops to relieve the siege in order to obtain the gratitude of Jiankun and Wudan. Hehehe, thinking that he was making up an absurd excuse casually, he wanted him to gather thousands of troops to attack, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Guo Xi listened quietly, raised his eyebrows slowly fell, and nodded: "I see, since the Xiongnu is in the left near trouble, as a captain of Wu has guarded the north road of Tianshan for the Son of Heaven, he can't sit idly by." Please follow the Du team to the house outside the camp for a while, and when a certain person issues a summoning order to the charioteer, Pu, and Mi, and everything is ready, he will tell the two of them......"

Cao Xiong and Deng Zhan are in a hurry, the Western Regions are vast, and when will they have to gather the people of the cities and states? When the people are here, I'm afraid they won't even be able to collect the corpses.

Deng Zhan knelt on one knee and arched forward with his palms folded: "I implore the captain to send troops first to deter the Huns." Saving people is like fighting a fire, it's too late! ”

Guo Xi's eyes sharpened: "Seeing that you are performing a military salute, you must also be from the army, don't you know what the crime of transferring troops without an order should be?" Do you want to trap Guo in danger? ”

Deng Zhan was shocked and paused: "The villain doesn't dare, it's really the young master who is in danger, and he can't delay!" As long as the captain is willing to send rescuers, no matter what the result is, Deng Zhan dares to guarantee the head of the head, and the prince will be able to ensure that the captain is fine......"

Guo Xi's face was expressionless: "How much can you value on your head?" ”

Deng Zhan was dumbfounded, indeed, in the eyes of a dignified Qianshi high-ranking official, what kind of protection can a person from his Hou Mansion bear? Who will put a great future in his hands?

Cao Xiong took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "How about adding Cao's head?" ”

Guo Xi said lightly: "Cao Duwei is a minister of another country, how dare Guo be rude." "The implication is very clear, you are an official of another country, and there is no point in guaranteeing it. If there is disharmony, can I still cut off your head? Isn't that a diplomatic affair?

Things seem to be at an impasse, and the main reason is that the matter is unbelievable, and people don't believe it at all.

Deng Zhan was in a hurry, stretched out his hand into his arms, and wanted to take the gift of gold cakes to see if he could open up the situation, but he didn't want to touch something, so he moved his mind and took it out and offered: "Deng Zhan knows that this matter is too bizarre, and the captain has doubts." This thing is the young master's personal ornament, which is engraved with a family crest, which can be proof. ”

Hu Cong took it and presented it, Guo Xi rubbed it in his hand, and observed it repeatedly, except for the family emblem of the Marquis of Fuping, there was no other mark. I can't help but laugh, what does this mean? Such a jade Jue, at least there are ten or eight pieces in his own family, and each piece is more than that. Anyway, if you are in the Western Regions, will there be a shortage of beautiful jade?

When Guo Xi looked at Yujue, Deng Zhan had already seen that something was wrong on the other party's face, and immediately changed from one knee to kneeling on both knees, and burst into tears: "The Huns are like tigers and wolves, and the young master's life hangs by a thread." I pray that the captain will save him no matter what, and the Hou Mansion is very gracious! ”

Guo Xi's face was pale, and what he said was comforting, but there was not much comfort: "A certain self-determination will send someone to Donggeng Fengsui to check one or two." You can rest assured, if the prince is really in Fengsui, with his identity, the Huns will not dare to be embarrassed. ”

Deng Zhan was already crying without tears, and the Huns didn't dare to embarrass him, but the young master shouted at the Huns! When you check it out, once you come and go, can this person still be saved?

"Captain!" Deng Zhan knocked his head on the ground, and there was a bang.

"Captain!" Cao Xiong also completely forgot his identity and bowed to him as well.

Guo Xi didn't raise his head, and waved his hand: "Du Xun, take the two of you down to rest." The people are brought by you, and you will not bother the two masters, and the matter of exploration will be left to you. ”

"Whoa."

Deng Zhan paused, and reached into his arms - he still had a thunder cannon left.

When he saw the captain, the blades on his body, including the meat cleaver, were searched, but no one knew this real weapon, so it was not confiscated. Deng Zhan was ready to use thunder cannons to surprise Guo Xi and his guards, and then take the opportunity to seize the blade and force him to send troops. As for the consequences, he didn't care. There was only one thought in his heart, the young master must not have anything to do.

At the moment when Deng Zhan took out the thunder cannon, a peaceful voice came from outside the hall: "Wait, can I take a look at this jade?" ”
