Chapter Twenty-Six: First Seal a Wolf Juxu Mountain......

Starting from Jiuquan, all the way north, and finally came to the famous Mobei 'Wolf Juxu Mountain' in history, Yang Chuan and Tangyi's father walked for a whole winter.

As a rough estimate, it should be more than 10,000 miles away.

Grasslands, Gobi, deserts, wastelands, mountains and rivers.

How many hardships, only self-knowledge.

Even with the escort of the Hun cavalry along the way, they could get a steady stream of supplies, and most of the hundreds of bison were lost, and in the end there were less than a hundred left.

And the biggest losses were the Hun cavalry that escorted them.

Starting from the Hexi Corridor, as Yang Chuan, the 'messenger of the Great Snow Mountain', continued to travel north, and went to the 'Wolf Juxu Mountain' in the land of Mobei to worship the sky, his reputation became more and more loud, and even the people of the Xiongnu royal court were alarmed.

Therefore, not only was there no obstruction, interrogation and difficulty along the way, but those Huns also provided all kinds of supplies intimately and sent people to escort them along the way.

As a result, the team of Yang Chuan and his party became larger and larger, and finally reached a terrifying more than 3,000 people!

For this result, Yang Chuan didn't expect that Tangyi's father would be even more dumbfounded, but he could only pretend to be a 'noble man of the royal court', abducting and deceiving all the way, eating and drinking.

Yang Chuan stood on the top of Kent Mountain, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the Selenga River in the distance was like a bright belt, flowing quietly on the vast land, and he couldn't help but feel a stirring mood.

When he suddenly looked back at the 800 Hun cavalry behind him, which looked like beggars, he suddenly had a strange thought: staying in the Baikal area and developing obscenely, and getting past the addiction of being an emperor, is actually a good choice?

In a moment, he gently erased this thought.

Is he the son of the Han family, or should he find a way to return to Chang'an City first......

……

Originally, his identity was easily exposed.

However, the king of the Huns, the military minister Shan Yu is sick, and he is about to return to the Immortal Heaven, where does he still have the heart to pay attention to a 'Great Snow Mountain Messenger'?

As for the others, including several of his younger brothers and a large group of sons, they have their own thoughts and start one open and secret battle after another, so naturally no one will pursue it.

According to Sima Qian's record in the "Historical Records", in the second year of Yuan Shuo, by the way, it was in this year that 20,000 Xiongnu cavalry invaded Shanggu (now Huailai, Hebei) and Yuyang, and were beaten by Wei Qing and completely lost the Hetao, which is known as the 'Battle of Henan'.

That is, in the winter of this year, the military minister Shan Yu died, and his younger brother Yizhi, the king of Zuogu Li, established himself as Shan Yu, and forced the military minister Shan Yu to be the prince Yu Dan; Yu Shan fled into the Han border and surrendered, and Liu Che made him the Marquis of She'an, where he died a few months later.

'This year in history, it's quite lively......

Tangyi's father led a team of 100 people out to find his daughter and Zhang Qian's wife, while Yang Chuan stayed on Kent Hill, waiting for news while thinking about what to do.

The Huns considered the Kent Mountains to be their 'Land of Longxing' and the Selenga River to be their mother river.

In this regard, Yang Chuan chose to be skeptical.

The Huns did not have a written language, and a lot of 'history' was passed down by word of mouth, mixed with some strange myths, legends, folk tales, etc., which often made you wonder which sentence was a historical fact and which sentence was a literary work.

Of course, even with words, some history books are not talking nonsense with their eyes open?

Well, on this point, Sima Qian should have more say in it, and when he returns to Chang'an City, he will find a way to make friends with him and inquire about how the ancients wrote history, which should be a very interesting thing.

However, that thing is now seventeen or eighteen years old, and he probably still looks down on him, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old half-grown child, right?

I just don't know what Sima Qian's taste is, do you like greasy or light?

In general, the platinum god ...... Ahem, the great writers of the past dynasties are very lustful, and they are generally greedy for tongue desires, and their tastes are also heavy, but I don't know if a plate of Dongpo elbows can take it down?

Counting with his fingers, Sima Qian is five years older than him, Huo Quzhi, Su Wu, and Li Dang are almost the same age as him, and that unlucky Li Ling is still a little kid.

As for Liu Che, he is already a 'greasy uncle' in his first year, and it's not fun......

Lying in the tent, Yang Chuan, who was bored, closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking wildly, and combing through some of the big people he was familiar with, which was a way to spend time.

It's not that he's boring.

Rather, it's just too boring.

Feudal superstition kills people, and those Huns now regard Yang Chuan as an 'angel', serving and peeping at anytime and anywhere...... is almost monitored throughout the whole process, for fear that he will have some accidents.

Therefore, apart from cooking some delicious food every day and reaping wave after wave of blind worship, he basically can't do anything.

Mount Kent was regarded as a 'holy mountain' by the Huns, but the Huns in this area were extremely scarce, only a few small tribes scattered around, and each one was poorer than the other.

Idle is idle, you have to do something, right?

Yang Chuan took down a sheepskin map from the bedside, leaned on Sister Leopard, changed to a more comfortable posture, and began to slowly calculate: "This is Mount Kent, and hundreds of miles to the northwest is the North Sea, which is the so-called Lake Baikal. ’

In a few years, Huo Qubing will come to this mountain and seal the wolf. ’

In another twenty years, another unlucky egg, Su Wu, will be sent by the Huns to Beihai to shepherd sheep for 19 years. ’

'Li Ling's unlucky child, grandfather Li Guang failed to be a marquis all his life, and his uncle Li Dang was beaten to death by Huo Quai, and when his generation was defeated and surrendered, the old Li family in Longxi was almost served by Liu Chelianwo......

He rolled over, washed briefly, and walked out of the tent.

A few sounds of carvings that stirred up Qingyue came from afar, but it was the six stupid eagles hovering over another mountain, as if they had found something good, and they were very eager to pass on the news.

Yang Chuan looked up for a while, his heart moved slightly, and he inexplicably gave birth to a very strong premonition.

How did he feel that this place was destined for him, maybe in the near future, he would come again, and was written in Sima Qian's pen:

Yang Chuan, the Han chef, came here for a visit.

No, it should be: 'Yang Chuan, the cook of the Han Dynasty, and Huo Quai's wolf dwelled in Xu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and climbed to Hanhai'......

In this way, Fang shows the true colors of a man.

Thinking like this, the corners of Yang Chuan's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange smile, which startled an oncoming Hun centurion, and stammered: "Honorable envoy of the Great Snow Mountain...... My lord...... What are you? ”

Yang Chuan said casually: "Kill cattle and sheep, and sacrifice to the sky tonight." ”

The centurion stammered, at a loss.

He is actually a ten-division commander, since following the 'Great Snow Mountain Messenger', he was promoted to centurion because of his 'courage in battle and ability to sacrifice his life without retreating'.

However, the matter of 'sacrificing to the sky' is not trivial, and none of the nobles of the royal court have come, so why is it about to start?

"My lord, how many cows and sheep should you slaughter?" The centurion asked.

"Ten cows, ten sheep," Yang Chuan said, pointing to the Selenga River at the foot of the mountain, "and another hundred snow trout and three hundred cedars." ”

The Huns are all busy.

Yang Chuan led Sister Leopard's family, and under the guidance of the golden eagle, quietly walked towards the mountain: "No matter if there are any good things, let's seal the wolf Juxu Mountain first." ’

I thought that a few years later, when Huo Quai's guy came here and wanted to engrave his name on a certain boulder, he was stunned to find out...... Yang Chuan's name has long existed?

Haha, it's very comfortable to think about.

PS: A few notes about the Wolf Juxu Mountain, the Selenga River, Lake Baikal:

1. The earliest two records of 'Wolf Juxu Mountain' appear in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and the other in the "Book of Han", which are listed as follows:

1. "Historical Records: The Biography of General Wei's Hussars" wrote: "Ji Gonglu, King Tuntou, King Han and other three people, generals, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei eighty-three people, sealed the wolf and lived in Xu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and landed in Hanhai."

2. "Historical Records: The Biography of the Huns" wrote: "...... The Han hussar general went out of more than 2,000 miles to engage with the king of Zuoxian, the Han soldiers had more than 70,000 levels of Hu's head, the king of Zuoxian escaped, the hussars were sealed in the wolf Juxu Mountain, Zen Guyan, and returned to the Hanhai Sea ......"

3. Hanshu. Huo Quai's Biography wrote: 'More than 2,000 miles from the right Beiping of the Dynasty...... Jigong Lu ...... Feng wolf dwells in Xu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, and ascends to Hanhai. ’

It can be clearly seen that the Book of Han still adopts Sima Qian's statement.

Second, the specific location of the wolf dwelling on Xu Mountain

There are many theories about the specific location of Wolf Juxu Mountain, which can be said to be one of the most controversial issues in history.

1. Mongolia's 'Kent Mountain', 'Hangai Mountain', and 'Buerhan Mountain' say: This statement has been quoted in many books, believing that 'Hanhai' is the North Sea, Lake Baikal, and some say 'Hulunbuir Lake'; there is a doubt about this statement: that is, Kent Mountain is nearly a thousand miles away from Lake Baikal and Hulunbuir Lake, and the Han army at that time could achieve the round-trip mission?

Of course, if you think about Huo Quai's combat habits of long-distance running, this possibility is very great.

In addition, according to the sentence 'more than 2,000 miles out of the dynasty', the approximate location can be easily found on the map, and if Huo Qu is ill and pursues for a few days, he can reach Kent Mountain.

I have to say that some of the 'university scholars' of later generations, with astronomical scientific research funds, sat in luxurious offices to study history, and for some reason, tried every means to convert Mount Kent, Hangai Mountain, Bukhan Mountain, Lake Baikal, the Sea of Fishing, and the land of Mobei...... Stripped off from the map of the Central Plains, its heart can be punished!

(It's a pity that the cook has traveled to the Hexi Corridor dozens of times, and the Mongolian steppe has been to it many times, but he has never been further north, so he can only lie on the map and draw circles, you can call me 'the chef on paper'......

The main thing is to apply for a visa, think about it, we are not as good as Huo Quai, we can go wherever we want, and we can fight whoever we want. )

2. Northwest Wolf Mountain of Hetao said; This statement is very unreliable, because from a military point of view, there is no need to make a detour to Hetao for Huo Quai's expedition.

3. Keshiketengqi said: This statement seems to have appeared in the "Qing History Manuscript" and "Liao History" at the earliest, and said that "Hanhai" refers to the desert, which is a bit inexplicable, and it is a bit of a bit of the meaning that later scholars 'take for granted', so let's listen to it.

4. The north bank of the Krulun River said: This statement was put forward by Guo Moruo, from the geographical point of view, 'Hanhai' is Hulunbuir Lake?

5. There are several theories, which seem to be very troublesome, but in fact, they are in the same vein as the original Henan people and Hangzhou people competing for 'Bai Suzhen's sister's hometown'......

Well, it's almost much less credible than "History of the Ming Dynasty", so I won't list them one by one.

3. About collecting and tracing the matter

This book is well prepared and well written, but why can't I collect and follow it?

Reflecting on it, it should be that the pace in the early stage was slow and there was too much foreshadowing, and some readers began to complain: 'Why are you still rubbing in the Western Regions and Mobei, and hurry into the Central Plains, everyone wants to see Huo Quai.' ’

The cook decided to delete the 30,000-word manuscript.

Starting tomorrow, we will go straight to the Central Plains and strive to knock Huo Qubing down within 100,000 words...... Ahem, take it!
