"Who are you?"

"We are a caravan under the Aries King's tent, going to Wusun to exchange for war horses. {”

"The Aries King under the account of the Right Xian King, we are the subordinates of the Xiu Tu King under the account of the Right Xian King, and we are all the brothers of the Great Huns under the Kunlun plow."

Zhang Qian and Sima Tan repeatedly practiced Xiongnu dialogue, Gan's father supervised the words and deeds of the two of them, and even the accent and tone were slightly different, and the Xiongnu oral training every day from one hour, two hours until now almost all day in Xiongnu communication, how many hardships and tears have been shed in the past few months can not be counted.

Sima Tan said in Xiongnu with an accent from the Xiongnu tribes in central China: "Our king heard the legend of the Wusun merchant that the strongest horses on the steppe came from Dawan further west, where the horses traveled thousands of miles a day like the wind, and their skin oozed bright red blood. ”

"It turns out that there are still horses in the world that are bleeding, and the brothers under the account of the Aries King must go to Dawan to take a look, and when the time comes, come here and tell me how strong that horse is." Zhang Qian replied fluently in the spoken language of the Xiongnu in the west, and the two were undergoing intensive training in multi-accent Xiongnu, and it was no longer possible to satisfy the appetite of the two people by communicating in Xiongnu at ordinary times.

Father Gan clapped his hands and said, "Stop first!" Today, your riding training is barely qualified, with your current riding skills in the Huns, you can only be regarded as a stupid rider, and you can barely become a rookie knight if you strengthen some more, remember to be careful when you are ridiculed for your riding skills, and you will be caught and killed at any time if you say the wrong thing. ”

Zhang Qian and Sima talked about the awe-inspiring promise, it was related to the important mission of going to the Western Regions, and the two of them did not dare to be careless in the slightest, since last autumn, the two of them insisted on intensive training for six hours every day, and what they were waiting for was the important mission of going to the Western Regions to open up the westward passage.

The intensive training was customized by Cao Shiyi, at first the crown prince Liu Che didn't care much, two months ago, he accidentally saw three Huns in the Weiyang Palace riding horses and shooting arrows on the shooting range, and the guards of the southern army not only did not react but also glanced at the tables of the three from time to time, which aroused his strong interest.

Gan's father is a Xiongnu, a Xiongnu nobleman, once a small king of the Huns, with his own tribe and cattle and sheep, was forcibly annexed and eliminated by King Luhou, only with dozens of remnants fled into the Han land as slaves and maids, his archery skills are not exaggerated to describe as psychics, and even the people who are shocked by the magic skills of the hundred arrows are stunned.

Liu Che was overjoyed to see Gan's father's marksmanship, and learned that he could only rank seventh among the Huns' marksmen, and his face became very ugly, the Huns were a people on horseback who ate grass and lived by grazing, relying on bows and arrows to fight with steppe wolves, leopards and fierce enemies on the grassland, the Huns were good at archery, and the best archers would become the warriors of the Huns.

Gan's father is a Hun warrior, but it's a pity that his talent and talent don't match his status, but there is a strong neighbor around the tribe, King Luhou, that is the top ten tribes under the account of King Youxian, the population alone has more than 25,000, and the size is thirty times that of Gan's tribe.

Since Gan's father entered the palace to tell the summary of the Xiongnu system, Liu Che was really a little tempted by the westward plan, the Xiongnu entrenched in the north all the year round harassment and the henchmen of the Han family, if you can't pull out the threat from the north like a thorn in the back, no one dares to say that the Han family can be immortal.

Liu Che advised: "The westward plan must open up the same route to the Western Regions, the enemy of the Xiongnu Dayue clan must be brought over, Dawan and Wusun must also be brought over, as long as the Xiongnu lose their wings in the northwest, force the Huns to fight a decisive battle in the border county, and then win the world in a battle." ”

"Your Royal Highness, without further ado, taking advantage of the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King's invasion of Yanmen County, the Xiongnu Shan Yu sent an envoy to Chang'an to apologize, hurry up and let Zhang Qian and them prepare to go out as soon as possible! This journey is far away, there may be many difficulties and obstacles waiting for them, it is by no means a year and a half can be completed, take action as soon as possible to complete the mission and lay the foundation for His Highness's future decisive battle against the Huns. ”

"Well said, if you need anything, just mention it to Shaofu, I will give it my full support." Liu Che waved his hand and started to shake his hands, Cao Shi became the main planner and person in charge of the westward plan, and the prince did not forget to promise him a blank check, as long as he did a good job, he would definitely be rewarded.

This point has to be said that Liu Che did a good job, at least he never showed mercy when giving gold, Cao Shi lectured for him for a few months and received 500 catties of gold, it is said that Han Yan, who was favored by the prince, was given a thousand catties of gold alone, and the prince Sheren Gongsun He and Zheng also had 200 gold at that time, and Li Danghu, who was not very well treated, Ji Di, Sima An and others only had a few dozen gold, and even the little servant Sang Hongyang was given 50 catties of gold because of the beautiful debate.

Liu Che became the shopkeeper, Cao Shi couldn't just pick a pick, and discussed the caravan configuration with Shaofu after being busy, so he was satisfied with the final plan.

"My plan is actually very simple, you have to disguise yourself as a caravan to sneak into the territory of the Huns, and the whole process must not show the slightest flaw, otherwise not only your lives are in danger, but His Royal Highness the Prince's westward strategy will also die halfway, you must always know in your heart, this is the map of your plan of action, remember to hide it close to you and not lose it."

Zhang Qian and Sima Tan took the drawings and nodded silently, this drawing is obviously specially processed, the thick and hard paper is strong and tough like cowhide, Cao Shi told them that this is a special kraft paper, put on a waterproof and sealed kraft sleeve, and then hide it in the special clothes sandwich is very safe, the special sandwich does not affect sitting and walking, the two people are very satisfied with the try.

This map is completely different from the map in the map room in the prince's palace, the lower right corner of the map is the territory of the Han Empire, the north is the huge Xiongnu, the west is the destination of this trip to the Western Regions, the approximate location of the Dayue people, the Dawan people and the Wusun people are marked out, the border is not accurately marked but there are desert and oasis signs, the most surprising thing is that there is an unfamiliar territory in the western half of the map, and the huge ocean is surrounded by the inner 6.

Cao Shi said: "You don't have to worry, the general map of the Western Regions was made through the memories of Gan's father, he once followed the Right Xian King to sweep the Western Regions, his father was once a general under the account of the Right Xian King, and followed several Xiongnu kings to jointly kill the Dayue clan's Xihou, you take the map and carefully compare whether the records in the map are true, if it is incorrect, use charcoal to draw the correct mark, and it is very important to bring back the corrected map." ”

The fake Aries tribe has only a population of 20,000, so the total number of caravans is charged with sixty people, and the number of more than 100 people can easily attract unnecessary attention from the Huns.

Father Gan's eyes widened in disbelief: "Junhou! You let me go? ”

Cao Shi said helplessly: "It's most appropriate for you to go, the two of them can't stop the horse thieves and rangers in the caravan, you also know that the morality of these people is very poor, in case they go out of Longxi and they turn back and kill Zhang Qian and Sima Tan, and then snatch the goods in the caravan and smuggle them off, then this mission can be put in vain, and you also need guides on the grassland desert, only if you have been to the Western Regions when you were young and know the customs, it is most suitable for you to be in charge of the caravan." ”

Father Gan thought about it, there was really no better way, his archery skills were no problem to deter those rangers, even if those rangers were in a group, they were not his opponents, not to mention that with the support of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Han Dynasty behind him, those rangers and horse thieves did not dare to cause trouble.

Cao Shi knew that he was reluctant, and said: "Not only do I want you to go, but also your son Gan Yanlu will take twenty capable henchmen and Hun knights with him, and it is not too much of a problem to increase the number of people in the team to eighty, with you in the equivalent of adding a layer of protection to the caravan, try to avoid falling into the hands of the Huns, let the mission be completed, and wait for you to return triumphantly." I will promote Gan Yanlu to join the Northern Army as a cavalry captain. ”

"Is this true?"

"You have no jokes!"

Father Gan gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will fight hard, and if I can't complete the mission, I will come to see the prince!" ”

"When you get to the people of the Otsutsuki clan, if you don't get a good response, don't rush back, and then go west along the trade road, I want you to go here." Cao Shi took out a map and gently swiped it northwest along the arrow, causing the faces of the three people to change slightly: "That sea is called the Mediterranean, and there is a powerful kingdom to the north of the sea, you go to tell them that our enemy Xiongnu is expanding on the grassland, and their enemy is also expanding on the grassland, and you will do the rest." ”

"Whoa!"

The team of seventy men left Chang'an City in the evening and crossed the Wei Bridge along the Qinchi Road to Longxi, where a pack team of two hundred and twenty horses had been waiting for a long time, and set out from Zhidi Road in Longxi County to cross the dangerous Hexi and go to the Dayue Clan Kingdom, thousands of miles away.

Two years earlier than in history, he is more prepared, of course, he will not be allowed to go to the Da Yue clan to come back, nor will he be allowed to stay in the Huns for more than ten years, please look forward to the specific situation!
