Loulan can be said to be the most famous ancient country in the Western Regions, the national capital Loulan City is on the northwest bank of Lop Nur, to the east is directly to Yumen Pass, and to the northeast is the direction from which Ma Chao's army came Yiwu. The north is the country of Cheshi, the northwest is Yanqi, the southwest is Shanshan, and the end of the country, Jingjue and other countries, is the throat of the trade route in the Western Regions, regardless of the north and south trade routes, all pass through Loulan, so it has also created the wealth and prestige of Loulan.

At this time, Lop Nur is not as Zhang Xiu crossed before the general is a dead Jedi, the history books are contained, at this time Lop Nur is vast for 300 miles, its water pavilion dwelling, winter and summer do not increase or decrease. It can be said that Lop Nur at this time is an oasis of life with herds of cattle and horses, surrounded by green forests and clear rivers, which can be called the most brilliant pearl in the Western Regions.

The Loulan Kingdom benefited from Lop Nur, so it was also extremely powerful, and it was once the most important object of the Han and Xiongnu fighting each other in the Western Regions. However, at this time, the Xiongnu had been divided, and the Southern Xiongnu were attached to the Han Dynasty, and they rebelled and surrendered. The Northern Xiongnu were defeated by Xianbei and suffered a great loss of vitality.

Although the Xianbei tribe fell into division at this time, its strength is a well-deserved overlord of the steppe, and even the former overlord of the Huns is coveted, how can the Xianbei people have no ambition. This time Jufen entered the Western Regions, Loulan was naturally its most important looting target, and now Ma Chao led the army to retreat to Loulan, which is undoubtedly the best guide for Jufen who does not know the road.

Originally, these more than 50,000 Xianbei people were extremely dissatisfied with the long-term pursuit, but when they heard the announcement of the Jufen soldiers that they could loot at will for three days after breaking through Loulan City, all the Xianbei people's dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by high morale.

This is a war of will and physical strength, but in the eyes of the Xianbei people, as long as they reach Loulan, they can break through Loulan City with only one charge, and then they can loot at will.

A day later, a guide from the Western Regions who had been following Ma Chao's side whispered a few words in Ma Chao's ear, and after finishing speaking, he saw Ma Chao looking back at the rear, as if he saw the Xianbei army that was about to be chased. smiled coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent. Then he waved his hand and shouted to the Qianghu cavalry: "Soldiers, hold on for another half a day, go!" ”

After speaking, Ma Chao led a group of Qianghu cavalry and rushed into the endless barren sea of sand. And the Xianbei army that followed the horseshoe prints quickly rushed to the place where Ma Chao rushed in. When the leader of the Xianbei army, Ju Fen, saw the endless sea of sand in front of him, he immediately stopped the advance of the army, and looked at the guide of the Western Regions who had been following him with his eyes.

The interpreter next to Ju Fen said that he immediately asked in the Western Regions, and after a few translators, he excitedly said to Ju Fen Shu: "Shan Yu, this guide said that this is the small desert outside Loulan, as long as you go in half a day after you can reach Loulan, his center is the pearl of the Western Regions, the lake where ten thousand rivers converge, and Loulan is located next to the lake where ten thousand rivers converge." ”

When Ju Fen heard this, he had some doubts in his heart, but according to the records of the Huns, there was indeed a small desert outside Loulan City, but Ju Fen felt that this place did not look like a small desert. At this time, the guide of the Western Regions seemed to see the doubts of the Ju Fen pawn, and whispered a few words in the translator's ear, and the translator immediately translated the words of the guide of the Western Regions into Xianbei language, and said to the Ju Fen pawn: "Shan Yu, this guide said that it only takes half a day to arrive, he is very thirsty now, if he turns back, it will take three days to walk to the water source, and it will only take half a day to arrive." ”

Before he could speak, the soldiers next to him could hear it, swallowed their dry throats, and looked at Jufen with expectant eyes, obviously they also wanted to drink water. Ju Fen lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking that it would only take half a day to arrive, and if it was not good, it would not be too late to turn back, so he nodded and led more than 50,000 Xianbei troops into the endless desert.

Jufen led the Xianbei army for more than an hour, and the traces of Ma Chao's army suddenly disappeared, and Jufen immediately asked the guide of the Western Regions: "Why are the footprints of the Han people missing?" ”

When the guide heard this, he smiled slightly: "The climate in the desert is unpredictable, and only a strong wind will be worn away. Shan Yu saw that the traces of the Han army suddenly disappeared, probably covered by the yellow sand blown by the strong wind. As long as we arrive at Loulan, we can find the Han army. Ju Fen thought about it for a while, after all, the traces suddenly disappeared, and the guide's statement was the most reasonable, so he nodded and continued to set off.

The afternoon sun was particularly scorching, making more than 50,000 Xianbei troops feel a little dizzy. Ju Fen felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he felt that the further he advanced, the drier the air became, and if there was a lake ahead, the air could not be so dry. With a wave of his hand, the army stopped again, and the Jufen pawn asked the Western Regions guide again.

The guide of the Western Regions said to Ju Fen through the translator: "Our path is not wrong, because we are coming from the northeast, and the wind direction in the Western Regions is north-south rather than east-west, and it is the north wind blowing at this time, so the water vapor is concentrated in the south. Therefore, Shan Yu felt dry, and we were able to rush to the place with a lake before sunset, so please stick to it. ”

After listening to this, Ju Fen thought about it, and felt the direction of the wind again, and it was indeed as the guide said, so he nodded and continued to set off.

At sunset, what Jufen and the more than 50,000 Xianbei troops saw was not the place where the ten thousand rivers converged, as the guide said, but the endless desert, and the Jufen pawn immediately felt deceived, grabbed the guide, and roared loudly: "Bastard! You lied to this order, this place is not Loulan at all, tell me, what kind of place is this! ”

The translator immediately conveyed Ju Fen's pawn, and after the translator listened, he suddenly laughed, and Ju Fen hurriedly asked the translator: "Ask him, what are you laughing at?" ”

After the guide finished laughing, he suddenly said loudly in Chinese: "Xianbei thief, you want to offend my Han soil? Let me tell you that this place is the real Jedi of death in the Western Regions, and those who have come to the depths have not yet managed to escape. Good luck to you, and I'm Han! After speaking, his eyes glared, his face suddenly turned black, and then his whole head was crooked, and black blood overflowed from his mouth and nose.

Naturally, there are people in Xianbei who understand Chinese, and they immediately tell the words of the guide to the orange fen pawn, but the orange fen pawn can't care about these things at this time, because the guide committed suicide by poisoning, and they will no longer have anyone who knows the way. After listening to the guide's words before his death, Jufen was shocked and angry in his heart, and in his hesitation and anger, he immediately turned the army and ran back along the same road.

In fact, the place where Ma Chao led the army to rush into, any person in the Western Regions knew that this was the real death Jedi in the Western Regions, and its scope was in the center of the Western Regions, and all the small countries in the Western Regions were established around his periphery, and the Loulan Kingdom was directly west of it. If Zhang Xiu is here, he will definitely recognize that this is the second largest desert in the world, the Taklamakan Desert, which is the real Jedi of death!

At this time, although the Taklamakan Desert had not expanded as much as it had before Zhang Xiu crossed over, it still did not damage its prestige as a Jedi of death, and the people of the Western Regions changed color when they heard it. Only the most experienced guides in the Western Regions know some of the roads on the periphery of this Death Jedi, and take people out before they go deeper.

While the Jufen soldiers and more than 50,000 Xianbei troops were struggling in the death Jedi of the Taklamakan Desert, Ma Chao and his 20,000 Qiang Hu cavalry were eating and drinking in Loulan City. Ma Chao drank the extremely rare and excellent grape wine in the Western Regions, and said to Hao Zhao next to him: "I said Bodao, don't look for Chao in the future, it's better to fight to the death with those Xianbei people after running for ten days." ”

Hao Zhao drank the blood-red wine in his hand, and replied with a smile: "It's Meng Qi again, you said that you want to reduce casualties, and now you can wipe out the entire army of more than 50,000 Xianbei without hurting a single soldier, which is Meng Qi's work." ”

Ma Chao saw Hao Zhao talking and laughing, and he held him to the sky, which was completely different from the previous rectum Hao Zhao, and also felt the change in Hao Zhao, and sighed with a smile: "When did you become so eloquent?" ”

Hao Zhao said with a smile: "When this protector of the Western Regions often has to balance the countries of the Western Regions, who can become eloquent in a few years. ”

Ma Chao heard it and said with a smile: "I see, Chao said that how the lord was willing to throw Bo Dao you to the Western Regions, it turned out to be grinding." Hao Zhao heard this, laughing but not speaking.

On that day, Ma Chao and the 20,000 Qiang Hu cavalry were all drunk, and the extreme escape for several days had emptied their physical strength and spirit, and now they naturally had to rest when they relaxed.

Hao Zhao did not dare to relax, and asked the countries around the desert to strengthen their vigilance, and if they found any traces of the Xianbei army escaping from the desert, they should report to them immediately. However, Hao Zhao was very satisfied with the hand he had arranged this time, from Ma Chao's defeat to sending guides to blend into the Xianbei army. Moreover, Ma Chao's route to lure the enemy was also carefully designed by Hao Zhao, who was very familiar with the geography of the Western Regions, and the guide's lines were naturally the same, so that all the Xianbei people who were not familiar with the geography of the Western Regions were introduced into the Death Desert, and 50,000 Xianbei people were buried without much effort.

Five days later, Yanqi sent people to send news that its army had captured 100 Xianbei people, and learned from these captured Xianbei people that in addition to their 100 escapes, more than 50,000 Xianbei troops were buried in the desert, including the western Xianbei Shan Yu Jufen, so the crisis in the Western Regions was officially resolved.

……

On the side of Bingzhou, Zhang Xiu naturally didn't know that the crisis in the Western Regions had been resolved, and he only received news from some businessmen about the victory in the Tianshan Mountains.

After Zhang Xiu listened, he muttered to himself: "Since it is a big victory, why didn't Bodao send the news back?" Speaking of this, he asked Tai Shici loudly: "Ziyi, can these merchants send other news?" Tai Shi Ci shook his head when he heard this.

Fa Zheng saw that Zhang Xiu was thinking hard, so he persuaded: "Why should the lord think too much, even if Bodao can't withstand the Xianbei army, there is also the Meng Qi army. In terms of time, Meng Qi should have already left the Yumen Pass at this time, please rest assured. Just thought that the lord should concentrate on dealing with the Hu people who attacked and merged with the state at this time. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded when he heard this: "What Xiaozhi said is very true, but before dealing with those attacking Hu people, I will first deal with Junqu this person." Ziyi, you gathered the people and the army that were captured by the military canal before, and Xiaozhi Ru sent someone to the treasury to fetch the mercury, which would have been of great use. ”

Fa Zheng was very puzzled when he heard it, mercury was still relatively rare in the Han Dynasty, but this was the Shangjun Governor's Office, and there should be some in the treasury, so Fa Zheng answered and left with Tai Shici.

After Zhang Xiu dealt with some more things, he came to the city gate with Chen Song, and in order to make it easier for everyone to see, Zhang Xiu chose the place of execution outside the city. Jun Qu himself was escorted in the morning, and the people and soldiers would have known what he had done, if it had not been for Zhang Xiu's strict order and the soldiers to stop him, he would have killed his relatives, and the people whose wives and daughters had been insulted would have jumped on him and eaten his flesh raw.

After seeing Zhang Xiu come out, the soldiers all made way for him, and the smart people also guessed Zhang Xiu's identity, and shouted: "Please make the decision for us!" Don't let go of this nonsense! As some people took the lead in speaking, the surrounding people went to Zhang Xiu abyss, some parents were killed, some wives and daughters were humiliated, and so on.

The more Zhang Xiu listened, the more angry he became, when he walked to the front of the military canal, his hands were raised, and the people closed their mouths one after another, Zhang Xiu said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I am ashamed of everyone." Due to the delay in the future, the death and injury of the villagers, fathers and families, and the humiliation of their wives and daughters are all faulty, and now I will ask you for guilt and also ask all the states for guilt. And when he had finished speaking, he bowed to all the people around him.

The eyes of the people around widened, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief, the most powerful prince of today's Han Dynasty, when he was the general of the hussars, Zhang Xiu, the Marquis of Wancheng, actually asked them in person, which made everyone disbelieve. But all this did happen again, and the people were also very simple, Zhang Xiu's move made the people of Bingzhou, who were dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu before, completely change their opinion of Zhang Xiu, but they were angry that the people left by Yuan Shao could not resist the incompetence of the Hu people.

After today, this matter will spread rapidly in the state, Zhang Xiu only pleaded guilty, and the four of them will be able to collect the hearts of the people of the state.

The scene was silent for a few breaths, and one of the people suddenly spoke, breaking the peace, only to hear him say: "We don't blame the general, but we want the general to kill this Hu man and avenge all the victims of my state!" ”

As soon as this person spoke, the people next to him echoed: "Yes! Revenge ......"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, Ben Jiang will personally execute this Hu man with capital punishment now, and Ben will make a promise here, if there are Hu people who kill my Han people in the future, Ben will definitely pay them with blood!" ”

The soldiers next to him shouted: "Blood debt and blood payment!" Blood debt and blood repayment! ”

In the midst of the shouting, Zhang Xiu shouted: "Fetch the mercury." Zhang Xiu took the mercury and then asked the soldiers to bury the military ditch in the soil under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, exposing only the head, and then cut a cross-shaped wound on his head with a knife, and then poured all the mercury into the body of the military canal from the wound.

Jun Qu's heart-rending screams resounded throughout the audience, and when they saw Jun Qu's body squirming and screaming, the thrill of revenge rose in everyone's hearts!
