On the second day, before the light of day, the large army set off, the old people seemed to feel less, the Ganfu appeared at the front of the team with excellent spirits, and Huo Guang was not energetic because he got up early.

Because of the mountain road, no one rode horses.

The map in Zhang Tai's hand has a path into the mountain, and while the sky is not bright, the group has come to the foot of Tiger Mountain.

Huo Guang walked to Ganfu's side and said, "Is it okay for the old gentleman to go so far?" ”

"The old man accompanied Mr. Zhang Qian to walk thousands of miles, what is this road."

bang

As he spoke, Ganfu's feet crooked and fell into the ridge, and Huo Guang hurriedly pulled him up.

Gan Fu patted the dirt on his body with some respect: "This road is even more rugged than the road in the Western Regions." ”

Huo Guang's face was speechless, and the old man didn't look very reliable.

Gan Fu did follow Zhang Qian to return from the Western Regions.

From a very young age, Ganfu was captured in a battle between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty and became a slave of the Han Dynasty.

At a young age, he was captured as a slave and given as a slave to the son-in-law of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Tangyi Hou Chen Wu, whose wife was Princess Shangguan Tao Liu Yan, that is, the parents of Chen Ajiao, the first wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Although Ganfu is a slave, Chen Wu did not tattoo this little slave, because Ganfu has shown talent to become a scholar since he was a child.

Although his status is low, he has unique and delicate skills in using Qi, so Chen Wu trained him and gave him the opportunity to become a stylist.

It's a pity that because of his identity, he can only stay in Tangyi, like a frog at the bottom of a well, until Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and the then queen Chen Ajiao suggested that Ganfu, a stylist who is proficient in the Xiongnu language, accompany him, and Ganfu had the opportunity to go out for a walk.

Then after the tribulation returned, rewarded, restored the free body, he had no sense of belonging to the Xiongnu, but loved the Han family, after getting the free body, he traveled the world, made friends, accepted the invitation of Sang Hongyang to become his guest.

Huo Guang chatted with him: "What kind of person is Zhang Qian?" ”

Huo Guang learned that Zhang Qian was from a history textbook, and the textbook wrote that he went to the Western Regions and opened up the north-south road from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, that is, the famous "Silk Road", which has a great reputation, as long as it is a Chinese person who has studied history, no one does not know, and is known as the first Chinese person to open his eyes to see the world.

He wanted to meet Zhang Qian, see what kind of person this man who opened up the Silk Road, and see the demeanor of the sages.

Gan Fu's eyes were full of memories: "Mr. Zhang Qian, that is really a first-class capable and talented person. ”

"You seem to admire him."

"Naturally, he is a very pioneering spirit of the person, unknown in front of him but fearless, no matter what difficulties encountered, he always has a firm mind, perseverance, open-mindedness, and treat people with faith, at that time my identity was humble, but Mr. Zhang Qian has never looked down on me, not only me, the Huns, the Da Yue clan, the Wusun people, the Loulan people, Mr. Zhang Qian can be broad-minded to tolerate all foreign people, but also won the respect of everyone."

It is precisely because of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions that there will be a return to the Han Dynasty in the future, and there will be raisins, Tong Liya, Guli Nazha, and Di Lieba.

Perseverance and strange man, the first person in the history of the world.

It stands to reason that Gan Fu returned from suffering with Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, in addition to exempting him from the status of a slave, Emperor Wu also rewarded him and wanted to reuse it, but Gan Fu refused, which made Huo Guang very curious.

"Mr. Ganf......"

"You call me Ganfuzi or Ganzi, this is the name I gave myself after the sages."

It was a little strange to call Gan Zi, so Huo Guang said: "Gan Fuzi, didn't Your Majesty reward you for not serving in the court." ”

Ganfu looked at the blue sky from afar: "People like me are uncomfortable when they are trapped in the main hall, and they are more comfortable walking between heaven and earth." ”

This is a middle-aged young man who loves freedom, this is Huo Guang's first impression of Ganfu, there are few such people who are not officials, and they go around the rivers and lakes.

Ganfu laughed: "I have already made a decision with Mr. Zhang Qian, and I will go with him when he makes the Western Regions again, this time I will go further, maybe I will set off next year and the year after." ”

The last time he went to hundreds of people, he came back to the two of them, but he still wanted to go, and he looked very interested.

There was a smile on the corner of Ganfu's mouth: "I really want to go to a farther place to see different scenery and different people." ”

The morning wind carries the warm and moist dew, and he is a deserter from this world, but he is a fearless warrior who moves forward.

In the midst of the chatter, a group of people had already gone up the hill from the path, and in the distance they could see the smoke rising, and the bandits in the Tiger Mountain had cultivated the fields and planted crops here, and by their own harvest and the occasional raid of passing caravans and fleets, the life of the bandits and the group of bandits had become rich.

This is also the reason why the number of bandits has increased dramatically in the past two years, regardless of the area, there is food and drink, and there are more people who defect, and many of them are evaders from military service.

In the military service of the Han Dynasty, there is also a kind of military service called the garrison, under normal circumstances, there will be a part of the people in each county who are arranged to go to the garrison, which is a chore compared with the ordinary pawns, there is no doubt that these people who are arranged to garrison the border are poor people, no background, no money.

Although it is said that it is two years, but the distance is far away, and it is very likely that he will not be able to return for many years, and the border is much more dangerous than ordinary military service, so some people escape.

After escaping, there is a high probability of falling into the grass.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was not yet prepared, Zhang Tai waved his hand lightly, and the three big yellow crossbows found the best position to set up first, and with his order, three huge arrows rushed towards the house of the Hushan bandits.

The arrow passed through the thatched house, which nearly collapsed under the tremendous force.

"Kill." Zhang Tai shouted, there were no tactics and tactics, just a frontal fight.

The iron knife was unsheathed, and a group of soldiers rushed towards the bandit with great momentum.

The bandits reacted and prepared to stop an effective counterattack, but in the face of a group of regular troops armed with swords, the bandits were immediately frightened, their weapons were pitiful, and their numbers were not as large as others.

The leader of the bandits, Zhang Da, shouted: "Don't run, don't run, fight back, fight back." ”

But no matter how much he shouted hoarsely, he couldn't shout people, the bandits were well-trained regular troops, and they were just a puddle of loose sand, and they didn't need to be blown by the wind, and they dispersed after two steps.

A thin arrow flew from the crowd and hit the shoulder of the leader Zhang Da, Zhang Da fell to the ground in pain, Zhang Tai took the lead, and with a wave of one hand, the flying arrow turned around and passed through Zhang Da's arm and nailed it to the ground.

Then another arrow flew and went straight to the thief's wide open door, which was to take his life.
