Sun Xianyong and Li Mingyuan rode horses to the front of the welcoming team, quite a horse in the lead. Sun Xianyong was still a little afraid of Li Mingyuan, so he walked to Li Mingyuan's side to find a topic and said, "Mingyuan, do you know this Yumen Pass, the origin of the word Yumen?" ”

This not too difficult topic really stumped Li Mingyuan, and he couldn't help but say with a little curiosity, "I really don't know how to do this, can General Sun explain a thing or two?" ”

Sun Xianyong smiled proudly, moistened his throat and said, "This story is very long. According to legend, in ancient times, in the west of Xiaofang City, Gansu Province, there was a post station called "Horse Lost Rabbit", also called "Horse Lost". Caravans from the border to Khotan to the Central Plains had to pass through here. The terrain is complex: swamps, ravines, forests and overgrown weeds. Whenever the caravan transporting jade catches up with the hot weather and hits the road, in order to avoid heat stroke for people and animals during the day, they always like to rush in the cool at night. Therefore, whenever the horse team walks here, it is always dark, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction, and even the old horses who often go back and forth here will be dizzy and difficult to understand the way, which is how the name "horse lost" is called.

In this era of lack of entertainment, although the status of storytelling is not high, it is very popular, so Sun Xianyong's eloquence is absolutely amazing, just a hundred words, it successfully aroused Li Mingyuan's interest.

"There was a caravan that specialized in jade and silk, which traveled this road all year round, and often lost its way in the "horse lost way". Once, as soon as the caravan entered the "horse lost", it got lost. When people were anxious, a lone goose suddenly fell not far away. A young man in the caravan quietly grabbed the wild goose, and with a kind heart, he held it in his arms, ready to take out the "horse lost" and then let it go!

After a while, I saw the wild goose crying to the young man with tears in his eyes, "Gollum, give me food Gollum, I can get lost." After hearing this, the young man suddenly realized that the wild goose fell behind because he was too hungry to fly, so he immediately took out his own dry food and water to let the wild goose eat to his heart's content. After the geese were full, they flew into the sky, kept circling, and led the caravan out of the "horse lost" and successfully arrived at the destination Xiaofangpan City.

After some time, the caravan lost its way again in the "horse lost", and the wild goose flew again and shouted in the air: "Gollum, the caravan is lost." Grunt, square plate inlaid with jade. Calling and flying, he led the caravan out of the way. Only the young man who rescued the wild goose understood the words of the wild goose, and told the boss of the team leader: "The wild goose asked us to inlay a piece of luminous dark green jade on the small square pan city, and the caravan will never get lost again if it has a goal in the future." After hearing this, the boss calculated in his heart that a piece of luminous dark green jade was worth thousands of taels of silver, but he was really reluctant, so he didn't agree.

Sun Xianyong shook his head and continued, hearing that Li Mingyuan and a few soldiers who were closer to him were instantly immersed in it, which made Sun Xianyong very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, the next time the caravan got lost in the "horse lost", and could not find the water source for several days, the camels were thirsty and panting, and everyone was so dry that they were so thirsty that they could not move an inch, and their lives were in danger. The young man hurriedly told the boss, who panicked and hurriedly asked the young man what he should do, and the young man said, "Quickly kneel down and swear to the wild goose: 'You must be inlaid with jade, and you will never break your word.'" ’。 ”

The boss immediately did as the young man said, kneeling and swearing to the wild goose, and after hearing this, the wild goose spun in the air for a moment, leading the caravan out of the "horse lost" again, and the caravan was saved. After arriving at Xiaofangpan City, the boss no longer dared to love money, and immediately picked a piece of the largest and best luminous dark green jade, inlaid at the top of the Guan Building, whenever night fell, this piece of jade emitted a dazzling light, and it could be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles, and the caravan had a goal in the past, and it would never get lost again. Since then, Xiaofangpan City has been renamed "Yumen Pass".

Sun Xianyong shook his head and finished this paragraph, and many soldiers applauded. Although it is not the first time they have heard Sun Xianyong tell this story, they are the top bosses, and this is really not bad, so they have to give some face more or less. So the applause was gushing, and there was quite a bit of a bit of a slap of the employees in the audience after the leader finished speaking.

If you talk about it from the perspective of the story, Sun Xianyong's story is really good. It's perfect for children under the age of fifteen, but from a historical point of view, it's a bit of a nonsense. Because in fact, Yumen Pass was built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because it was an important traffic artery leading to the Western Regions in ancient times, and the Khotanese jade imported from the Western Regions entered the pass from here, so it was named Yumen Pass.

However, Li Mingyuan is not a brick family, nor is he a beast, so naturally he will not argue with Sun Xianyong on this issue. It's not necessary, and it's not worth it.

"General Sun, I don't think it's much different from General Yue!" Li Mingyuan rode on his horse, trying to look into the distance.

Sun Xianyong took off the kettle on the horse, drank a sip of sweet spring water, and said with satisfaction, "You are right, it has been some time since the first batch of scouts returned just now, and I think there is still time for a stick of incense at most." Maybe we're going to bump into each other! ”

"I guess too, hehe, I really don't know how General Lu Daoyue and their days have been. I guess it's going to be a bad one, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the wind is all soldiers! "Maybe it's because success is imminent, Li Mingyuan's mood at the moment is exceptionally good, and he can't say how festive.

Sun Xianyong touched the beard on his chin, nodded in agreement, "I guess so, after all, this errand is not something that ordinary people can do, looking at Hu Ben, in addition to Hou Ye, Lao Yue has the ability!" ”

As Li Mingyuan guessed, Yue Shenfei at this time was also like an arrow. Although this expedition can be regarded as a tooth extraction from the tiger's mouth, the ghost gate has been walked through. But in general, it is lucky, even if it can't be reported to the court for merit, but it will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and the position in the heart of the Hou Ye will be even more unbreakable.

"Brothers, don't rub it off, now I order, the whole army to change out of this Hun skin, put back on our tiger uniform, when everything is ready, move forward at full speed, let the brothers who greet us have a good look at our demeanor!" Yue Shenfei pulled off the Hun clothes he was wearing and shouted at hundreds of soldiers.

During the days when he was deep behind enemy lines, Yue Shenfei had always felt itchy and uncomfortable on his body, but now he suddenly understood that he must have worn the skin of the Huns for a long time, and there were lice on his body!
