Chapter 29: Zhang Qian's Envoy to the Western Regions

In the fourteenth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, at the junction of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, a team of Han cavalry had just finished a small but extremely tragic battle, entered the city gate and returned to the pass, and they accompanied the horses behind several Xiongnu prisoners, and were dragged behind the horses by their tied hands Ganfu was instantly stunned by this prosperous scene after entering the city, is this the city of the Han Dynasty? How nice it would be to live in a city like this?

In the future, whenever he thinks about it, Ganf's face starts to burn! When he entered Chang'an, he really understood what prosperity was, and compared with Chang'an, the small city in the border county was really not worth mentioning.

After being captured by the Han army, Ganfu was sold to the famous Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu as a house slave, and at the same time had a new name, Tangyi Father! In the Han Dynasty, the father meant the old man and the man, and the father of the Tang Yi was the old man of the Tang Yi family.

Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu is a great man, his ancestor was once with Xiang Yu to fight, and then returned to Liu Bang of the Qianhu Hou Chen Ying, his wife is the Empress Dowager Dou's favorite daughter Guantao Princess Liu Xuan, his daughter is the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Chen Ajiao who left the story of the Golden House in history.

When Liu Che did not inherit the throne, Tangyi's father had seen this man in the mansion many times who would write a glorious page in the history of China.

Jianyuan is the name of the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che when he ascended the throne, and it is also the first imperial year name in Chinese history.

In the early years of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Tangyi's father saw the figure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che in the mansion again, but this time Liu Che's eyes fell on him, "Hey, your appearance seems to be a little special?" You're not Han? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is a Huns! was captured by the Han army before entering the Hou Mansion as a slave! The father of the cousin knelt on the ground and replied cautiously.

"Oh? Are you a Huns? Do you know anything about the internal situation of the Xiongnu? Liu Che was originally just a gossip, but he didn't expect an unexpected gain, so he immediately sat up straight!

So the gears of history began to turn slowly under this casual inquiry, this year Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was sixteen years old, and it has been sixteen years since his father was captured into the Han Dynasty! And in another corner of Chang'an City, Zhang Qian, a native of Hanzhong County who served as an attendant named "Lang", sneezed, and he looked at the sky suspiciously, who was talking about himself?

"So the Huns are not only the enemies of my Han! Also an enemy of the Otsuki Clan? After listening to the questioning of Tangyi's father, Liu Che not only had a better understanding of the internal situation of the Xiongnu, but also learned a very important piece of information: the Dayue clan in the Western Regions has the intention of avenging the Huns!

So he immediately asked Chen Wu, the Marquis of Tangyi, for his father, and issued a new order: to recruit envoys to the Western Regions, unite with the Dayue clan, and cut off his right arm by attacking the Xiongnu!

The method used by Liu Che is similar to Spain's exploration of South American colonies, as long as the evil young man who is willing to go to the Western Regions and has ideas is given the name of an envoy, and then he is sent to the Western Regions.

"Father! I have eliminated your slavery and made you the deputy envoy of the Han Mission! You will follow the Han delegation to the Western Regions to contact the Dayue Clan to flank the Xiongnu! After the deed is done, I will not hesitate to reward! This is Liu Che's promise to his father, who has lived in the Han Dynasty for 16 years, knows the preciousness of the emperor's promise, and bows his head to thank him.

However, to Liu Che's disappointment, the first few people who Mao Sui recommended himself as envoys did not satisfy him, so he never sent his cousin out until a young man arrived

Zhang Qian couldn't sleep for a long time after seeing the emperor's edict, and after a few days of thinking, he decisively chose the latter in the comfortable attendant and the trip to the Western Regions full of unknown dangers, "The eldest husband should be an immortal meritorious name in the world, how can he be peaceful and splendid!" ”

Zhang Qian decisively entered Weiyang Palace and conveyed to Liu Che his desire to travel west and dig through the Western Regions! Liu Che was overjoyed when he saw this, he knew that the envoy he had been waiting for for a long time had finally been found!

After some preparations, Zhang Qian took the more than 100 evil teenagers he recruited from Chang'an City, together with the deputy envoy Tangyi's father, to embark on the road to the west! This year, Liu Che was 17 years old and Zhang Qian was 25 years old!

On this day, the drums outside the gate of Chang'an were noisy, and the important ministers of the Han Dynasty of more than 2,000 stones gathered outside the city gate. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of Chang'an people, Liu Che handed over the blue-green and bright red hair-decorated Han Festival that represented the prestige of the Han Dynasty to Zhang Qian, "There is a long way to go, I am waiting for Aiqing to return as soon as possible in Chang'an!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Qian was immersed in supreme glory, and he didn't know that the next time he would return to this great city would be ten years later!

"Oh? The little emperor of the Han Dynasty plans to send someone to the Western Regions to contact the Dayue clan to attack my Great Huns? "In the Xiongnu king's tent, Mao Dun Shan Yu's grandson, the son of the old Shangshan Yu, the military minister Shan Yu, turned his gaze to the only courtier in the king's tent who wore Han Dynasty clothes and had no beard under his chin," the Bank of China said, you still know the affairs of the Han Dynasty! I'll leave these envoys to you! ”

The Bank of China, which will become the great disaster of the Han Dynasty as a lifelong pursuit, said that he gladly accepted the order, "Obey the order of the Huns placed by heaven and earth, and the Bank of China said that the envoys of the Han Dynasty will not return!" ”

After that, the Bank of China said the account of the Hun king, held a large order in the order, and mobilized a thousand elite Hun cavalry to rush to the road of the Han envoys day and night.

A rain of arrows flew by, and the Hun cavalry rushed up to slash and kill, and when the Bank of China arrived at the battlefield, no one in the scattered envoy group was spared.

The Bank of China said that he was riding a horse and walking on the battlefield, and suddenly his eyes stopped somewhere, and he pointed at the thing in the hand of the dead Han man with his horsewhip and said, "Eagle shelter, bring me what is in his hand!" ”

A man with a short and stout stature, a large and round head, a broad face, high cheekbones, a wide nose, a thick beard on the upper part and only a small stiff beard under the collar, long earlobes with holes, and an earring turned over and dismounted, reached out to hold the Han Jie that the dead Han man was only holding and pulled, without pulling, he did not hesitate to pull out the scimitar and cut down

The Bank of China said that he was holding the bloodstained Han Festival and looking in the direction of Chang'an, "This is already the third envoy group!" It's all fragile guys, how long will it take for the fourth envoy to get here? ”

"Three days to go!" The commander of the cavalry, Eagle Shelter, replied.

"Okay, let's let them die with these people!" The Bank of China said that he threw Han Jie aside, and the Yin Owl's eyes looked in the direction of the upcoming envoy group.

At this time, Zhang Qian and his cousin's father didn't know anything about it.
