Weiyang Palace has an extra Dongfang Shuo, which really adds a lot of fun, which is also an important reason for Liu Che to keep it by his side, after sending Dongfang Shuo away, Liu Che suddenly proposed to let Zhang Jiayang inform Wei Qing to see with his own eyes the effect of their training of Jianzhang Erlang and the period gate, Zhang Jiayang received Liu Che's will, did not dare to delay, and walked directly to the Jianzhang Erlang training camp, as soon as he arrived at the door of the training camp, he saw Gongsun Ao wandering left and right at the door, and suddenly saw Zhang Jiayang, so he stepped forward and laughed: " Ouch, Master, come for a walk?"

"Gongsun Ao, I have time to walk there, what are you doing here, is Wei Qing here?"

"Hmm...... Yes, sort of. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Is there is, what is there?" Zhang Jiayang said inexplicably.

Gongsun Ao shook his head even more strangely and nodded again.

"What's the matter, Gongsun Ao, has something happened to Wei Qing?"

"No, Wei Qing is receiving distinguished guests. ”

"Oh, I still use this expression when I receive guests, I thought something big was happening, I'll go in and take a look. Zhang Jiayang said and walked in.

"Master, slow down, don't worry. "Gongsun Ao wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Zhang Jiayang walked straight to the living room and saw Wei Qing talking to a woman in graceful and luxurious clothes, Zhang Jiayang thought: "Who could this be, could it be Wei Qing's sister." When he approached, the noble woman turned around and saw Zhang Jiayang, and then Zhang Jiayang saw the whole picture, this woman was Liu Che's sister Princess Pingyang, I saw her slightly powdered, high bun, wearing a phoenix crown, wearing a gorgeous skirt, even if she lowered her eyebrows and chin, she couldn't hide her noble temperament.

Jia Yang hurriedly saluted forward and said, "The Marquis of the Ancient City of Chen, please greet Princess Pingyang." ”

"The Marquis of the Ancient City is exempt, the Marquis of the Ancient City must have something important to say to Zhongqing when he comes, this princess will not bother you, you are busy." Princess Pingyang said and walked out of the living room and towards the door.

"Greetings to the princess. Zhang Jiayang and Wei Qing shouted, and Princess Pingyang slowly walked away, got into the carriage at the door and left.

Wei Qing said to Jia Yang: "Master must have something to tell when he comes." ”

Zhang Jiayang smiled mildly and said, "Princess Pingyang is very beautiful and cares about her apprentices." ”

"There is no doubt that the princess is beautiful, but the main concern for the apprentice is the love of the princess and the apprentice's master and servant, and sometimes it should be just curious about our training of soldiers. ”

"Hehe, okay, apprentice, today Master is here to inform you that your Jianzhang Erlang will be useful tomorrow. ”

"Ah, what do you mean by this, Master, you want to take Jianzhang Erlang there?"

"Tomorrow at the gate of the Xuanshu Palace, the emperor wants to take a look at the performances of Jianzhang Erlang and Qimen, and check how the training is during this time. ”

"Oh, it's true, Jianzhang Erlang has been looking forward to this kind of opportunity for a long time, tomorrow I will lead Jianzhang Erlang to arrive on time, and I must satisfy the emperor. ”

The next day, Wei Qing led Jianzhang Erlang to the performance venue early, and then Zhang Jiayang also led the period gate to arrive, and after a while of rehearsal below to line up the team, Liu Che excitedly walked onto the high platform, Han Yan shouted loudly: "Guchenghou, is Jianzhang Supervisor ready?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Jianzhang Erlang has been prepared. ”

"Report to Your Majesty, the gate has been prepared. ”

"Your Majesty has a will, and the show begins. ”

"No. ”

I saw that Jianzhang Erlang under the command of Wei Qing first discharged the dragon and came out, and then the dragon swinging its tail, every move and style were so smooth, and then this Zhang Jiayang commanded the period gate to join the Jianzhang Erlang, the period gate team was wearing blue clothes, and they were arranged around the Jianzhang Erlang team in an orderly manner, and it seemed that the red dragon was showing the blue dragon claws from a distance, majestic and majestic, Liu Che couldn't help but applaud and shout when he saw this: "Okay." ”

Jiaolong instantly dispersed, the period gate and Jianzhang were divided into different opposites, and then Jianzhang Erlang changed the formation again, forming a maze array, the period gate army quickly broke into the formation, left and right, fierce fighting, and then instantly disbanded, decomposed, and finally the period gate occupied the square while showing a single multi-person fight, moving and squatting on his back, jumping up and down, dazzling, and then on the other side Jianzhang Erlang stepped on the war horse, fighting and fighting as if it was a real battlefield, Liu Che nodded with satisfaction after seeing it, and then asked Han Yan to call Jiayang and Wei Qing to the high platform, Liu Che said with satisfaction: "The two of you have worked hard, from these performances I can see that the two of you have put a lot of effort into it, these soldiers are well trained, but unfortunately the number is still a little small, Jianzhang Erlang will increase more, and it must be trained into an army that can fight a real war. ”

"No. Wei Qing replied.

Han Yan asked on the side: "Your Majesty has trained such a good fighting army to fight in actual combat, and only an army that grows up in actual combat is a mighty army." ”

Liu Che nodded and said, "What Han Aiqing said is extremely true, this army must be able to defend the country in the future." ”

"Your Majesty means to deal with the Xiongnu? This Xiongnu is the enemy of our Han Dynasty, and he often disturbs the border of our Han Dynasty, and he does not believe in his words. ”

"Yes, it's a pity that we haven't trained enough people in this team, and I need more brave and warlike divisions to complete the battle with the Huns. Liu Che thought of this and suddenly said as if he had thought of something, "Speaking of the Huns, I think of something, Han Yan, you go and gather some Huns who have been captured and have surrendered to my Han, and I want to learn some Xiongnu customs and habits with them." ”

"No. ”

In the Han army, there are many Huns who have been captured, after a long time in Chang'an, has been completely assimilated by the Han people, not long after about a dozen Huns were gathered together, Liu Che said as if asking homely: "Do you have the habit of living in Chang'an?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty Longen, we already consider ourselves to be Your Majesty's subjects, and we are fully adapted to life here, much better than the Huns. ”

"Oh, the Hun soldiers are strong, what is the biggest difference between them and the Han soldiers?"

"The advantage of the Hun soldiers lies in horses and swords, and the advantage of the Han soldiers lies in the armor and individual soldiers, completely two concepts, the Huns rely on fast movement to fight, and the Han war should be arranged without moving too fast. ”

"Makes sense. ”

"Is Your Majesty going to war with the Huns?"

"I don't have this plan, but the Huns are not idle, and from time to time they will intrude on the northern border counties of our Han Dynasty. ”

"The Huns' war horses are fierce, if you fight hard with the Huns now, the Han army has little chance of winning. ”

"Is there a cure for defeating the Huns?"

"I heard that there is a country of the Dayue clan in the western regions northwest of the Xiongnu, and its king was killed by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and his head was made into a wine vessel. The Yueshi could not bear the enslavement of the Xiongnu, so they migrated to the Ili River valley at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Later, it was attacked by the Wusun Kingdom, and then moved southwest to the Fushui (now Amu Darya River) valley. The king of the Yue clan wanted to avenge the murder of his father, but there was no one to help. If His Majesty can send someone to the Western Regions to find the Dayue Clan, unite all the time, and attack the Xiongnu on both sides, the chances of victory will be great. ”

"Oh, good idea, but how far is the Western Regions from Chang'an?"

"To cross the grasslands, walls and towering Tianshan Mountains, the road is immeasurable. ”

"Oh, I see, let me think about it, you guys go down, thank you for providing so much useful information, Han Yan. Liu Che suddenly turned around and shouted.

"In. ”

"Please give each of them ten taels of gold. ”

"No," Han Yan continued, "Everyone, please come with me." ”

"We quit. "The Huns who were found retreated.

Liu Che looked at Zhang Jiayang and said, "It seems that I am going to find someone who can speak well to go to the Western Regions." ”

"Your Majesty, this is as it should be. ”

"But no one has ever been to the Western Regions, there are grasslands, Gobi and mountains, these are not counted, and you have to pass through the area controlled by the Xiongnu, the road is dangerous, and you must find people with both courage and strategy. ”

"Your Majesty has better put up a notice to recruit people from the Western Regions. ”

"Okay, it works. As he spoke, Liu Che ordered people to post notices and recruit people to go to the Western Regions.

A few days after the notice was posted, there was a person who came to apply, that is, the waiter Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian stayed in the palace every day with nothing to do, except for eating and drinking enough, there was no passion and hope, and suddenly saw the notice posted by the emperor, he came to apply without hesitation, Liu Che asked: "Zhang Aiqing knows that going to the Western Regions is an unpredictable risk, and there may be no return." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not afraid of death, but if His Majesty gives the minister a mission, even if he dies in a foreign land, he must complete it. ”

"Good ambition, I like it, do you have any plans for this?"

"I go alone, I can't bring too many items, and then I will find a volunteer companion in the army to bring the exquisite items and specialties of the Han Dynasty, so that the Dayue clan in the Western Regions can understand the Han from the exquisite things of the Han Dynasty, and then be willing to join forces with us to fight the Xiongnu from the heart. ”

"Good idea, and then call a person from the Western Regions to lead the way as a guide. Liu Che reminded.

"No. ”

The notice was posted, not to mention, there are still many men with flesh and blood in the army of the Han Dynasty, and more than 100 people were recruited in a few days, and then there was a Hun who recommended himself to be a guide, Liu Che asked the Huns: "Who are you, do you know the route of the Western Regions?"

"The minister is the Hu family slave, free to grow up in the Western Regions, the terrain and route over there is quite an understanding, the last time His Majesty asked a few Hun courtiers, the minister was also among them, saw so many flesh and blood men recruited, the minister did not want to be mediocre for a lifetime, and he will repay His Majesty for our Hun courtesy. ”

"Okay, please join Zhang Qian's team. Liu Che said approvingly.

Everything is ready, in the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Qian was guided by the Hun Gan's father, led more than 100 people, and set off from Longxi (now Gansu), and Zhang Qian began a thrilling journey.
