For more than 20 days in a row, since Yang Chuan's 'family' moved to Sima Qian's official office, he has hardly been idle, either cooking, or on the way to cook, either roasting whole sheep or mixing noodles with oil and meat.

Yang Chuan found that, like all the great writers, Sima Qian's taste was heavier, and he liked those fatty but not greasy, tender and juicy delicacies the most, and basically had no interest in coarse tea and light rice.

The relationship between the two is also a lot closer.

However, Yang Chuan deliberately kept a certain distance, Sima Qian is now an official, he is a stateless savage, his identity is very different, and it is not beneficial for each other to stick too close.

Especially himself, now there is a person secretly staring at him, which always makes him a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Qian.

This famous Bowang Marquis in later generations is now in Wei Qing's camp, in a high position, not to mention that people will tear him up in person, just a casual look, Yang Chuan will have to walk around without eating......

……

It's autumn, and the cold air outside the plug continues to move south, bringing cold autumn rain one after another.

Sima Qian began to get busy.

Yang Chuan knew that Wei Qing and Li Xi, two famous generals of the Han Empire, were going to start a big war.

It was also this great battle in the second year of Yuan Shuo that completely defeated the military strength of the Xiongnu in Hetao, Jincheng and Longxi, and also completely established the status of Weiqing as the 'Great Han Army God'.

After this war, Wei Qing went all the way, worshiped the marquis, until the three sons were marquis, and also pushed Liu Che's sister Princess Pingyang by the way, so as to reach the peak of his life.

Of course, maybe it was Princess Pingyang who pushed Wei Qing back, who can say this kind of thing!

The battle was imminent, and even the air seemed to be filled with the smell of beacon fires and gunsmoke, and a group of cavalry rushed to the front after a simple repair in the city in the clouds.

Yang Chuan vaguely learned that the camp of the cavalry general Wei Qing was located in Dingxiang City, hundreds of miles away.

As the commander of Yunzhong County...... Yang Chuan, a soldier and cook at a pass of the Great Wall, finally carried his bags and dragged his family to 'take office'.

In this matter, he is very grateful to Sima Qian.

Originally, with the recruitment system of the Han Empire, if you want to enter the army as a soldier to eat food and win military merits, you must wait until after the age of twenty-three, but Sima Qian is a 'sword and pen officer' after all, and he added a sum of money: 'His father was Yang Bo, the son of the Liang family in Longxi, died on the battlefield, and this son was plundered as a slave for six years, hated the Huns, and his feelings were pitiful, and he was very good at cooking military food', and it was solved.

Perhaps, this 'note' did not attract attention, anyway, most of them are prisoners, sons-in-law, and stateless savages, and it is estimated that the people from the boss's yamen only need to check the number of people.

But for Yang Chuan, this is important.

He finally has an official identity in the Han Empire.

In addition, Sima Qian also considered the survival of Sister Leopard's family and the six silly eagles, and deliberately chose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery - Lucheng, a stone barrier.

After hearing the news, Yang Chuan could only smile bitterly.

It seems that Sima Qian's historical research should still be at the level of 'talking on paper', and he has never gone to the field to investigate, otherwise, he would never send Yang Chuan to Shimen.

What is Stone Gate?

Yin Mountain stretches for more than 2,000 miles, is the place where the Xiongnu people rise, there are two mountains in the Hengduan Mountains in the middle of it, one is Daqing Mountain, one is Wula Mountain, the two mountains face each other to form a deep and precipitous Grand Canyon, which is the so-called 'Shimen'.

Yang Chuan clearly knows that the Shimen Grand Canyon is not trivial, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

That is to say, as long as the Han army and the Huns go to war, this place will be a key point, even if it is not the front line now, it will be the most dangerous place in the world......

However, what comes is what is safe.

After Yang Chuan smiled bitterly, after thinking carefully, he put the fear in his heart behind, but he was still a little inexplicably excited: If there is a battle, there is a chance to engage in military exploits, anyway, the Han army won a complete victory in this battle, what are you afraid of?

Didn't Sima Qian write in his "Historical Records", "All the armor is returned"?

In addition, Lucheng is a good place, and Yang Chuan has been here many times.

By the way, Lucheng is the Baotou of later generations.

More than 2,000 years ago, the Xiongnu called this place 'Baoketu', that is, 'the place with deer', while the Han people called it 'Lucheng' and 'Jiuyuan'.

And Shimen, which is located in the northwest of Lucheng, is indeed a good place, with mountains and waters, snow-capped mountains and plains, and a large number of elk, roe deer, Mongolian rabbits, roe deer, brown bears, and snowcocks.

The best thing is that on Daqing Mountain and Wula Mountain, there are even green sheep, snow leopards, golden eagles, gorse falcons, etc., maybe take this opportunity, Sister Leopard and Silly Eagle can also make a wave of objects and give birth to the next generation.

Lucheng is a good place, and Shimen is also a good place.

Yang Chuan knew that hundreds of years later, Lu Bu was born here.

and the later Wang Zhaojun, who passed through the stone gate and 'got out of the fortress', so that the Huns of Wolf Riha gave disaster.

I just don't know if he, a soldier and cook, has the opportunity to pick up a few Hun heads, accumulate some military merits, and exchange him for an innocent Han Empire household registration......

……

When Yang Chuan arrived at Shimen, it coincided with a continuous autumn rain.

Counting with his fingers, there are still two or three days before the specified deadline, because there is no one to monitor and no one to escort him, he naturally does not have to report in advance, and he can just do something else.

On weekdays, the Han Empire despised untouchables such as prisoners, sons-in-law, and savages, and did not have much affection for each other.

However, once these people were conscripted, whether they were to serve in the conscription or the military, very few of them escaped, which once made Yang Chuan puzzled, feeling that those people were either stupid or stupid.

However, when he himself became a pawn, he realized that this person must have a sense of belonging.

For example, right now, on a bamboo slip that is not a few farts, once your household registration, name, age, skin color, etc. are written, this Han Empire is your mother, and it is worth guarding, fighting, and sacrificing......

Of course, it is impossible to make Yang Chuan sacrifice.

He hasn't lived long enough.

He hasn't been to that rotten Chang'an City yet, and he hasn't been sick for a while!

Yang Chuan found a hidden cave on Daqing Mountain, cleaned it up briefly, and stored the grain, salt, etc. he brought, which should be a secret foothold in the future, so that Sister Leopard's family and six stupid eagles could survive the winter safely.

In addition, it took him two more days to touch the mountains and rivers, ravines and ravines, and canals and channels within a radius of dozens of miles, and he almost knew it by heart, and then he set off to report to the pass.

Regardless of whether there is a war or not, it is a good habit to survey the retreat route first.
