Chapter 62: Zhang Qian...... (Please follow up)
Yang Chuan finally couldn't bear to poison the old and weak women and children of the entire tribe with his dead hands, which made him feel very guilty, and felt that his heart was still not hard enough, and he would have compassion in the face of his parents, wives and children who were enemies of life and death.
But he didn't regret it at all.
If a man or a people can lay a dead hand on women and children, how is it different from an animal?
Yang Chuan admitted that in this regard, he was inferior to those veterans of the stone barrier......
Looking at a large number of Hun women and children who were numbed by his own 'sweat medicine', Yang Chuan hesitated for a long, long time, until there were a few carvings in the sky, as if to warn someone to come, and he turned to leave.
This tribal group is not big or small, but there are a lot of cattle and sheep and livestock, and there are as many as 150,000 cattle and sheep with enough oil.
Such a fortune can really support a decent cavalry.
However, now it's all under him Yang Chuan, or rather, it's back to the defenders of the Stone Gate Barrier-
Yang Chuan was very particular about doing things, he roughly calculated, and left 800 cattle and 5,000 sheep for these Hun women and children, just enough for these people to survive the difficult winter.
As for whether they can survive on the grassland, we have to ask their Tengger......
……
With the help of the golden eagle and the leopard sister, the return journey of Yang Chuan and his party was very hard, but finally there was no danger, and it took several big circles to go around and spend two days and two nights to successfully reach the stone barrier.
As Yang Chuan had expected, the Huns, who had lost nearly a thousand horses and most of their tents, withdrew at noon the next day.
At this moment, it is estimated that they are struggling to find their homes and cattle, sheep and livestock in the vast grassland.
"Yang Chuan, you are very good."
As soon as he returned to the stone gate, Chen Ye personally greeted him out of the gate, slapped Yang Chuan's thin shoulder, and directly beat him to a seat: "If it weren't for you Yang Chuan this time, we would have to die in the city." ”
Yang Chuan got up from the ground and said with a bitter face: "Lord Barrier, next time you tap ......"
The crowd laughed.
However, at this time, the so-called people were only fifty or sixty people, and most of the old soldiers with half of the big yellow teeth had turned into a hard corpse, and now they were lying quietly in the open space of Guancheng, waiting for their living comrades to bury them together.
Blocking the fierce attack of more than 2,000 horsemen, slashing more than 1,200 in battle, and seizing 130,000 cattle and sheep, this piece of military merit made the stone gate barrier fall into a carnival.
"Kill sheep and slaughter cows, and eat with an open belly!"
"Yang Chuan of the dog day, yes yes toast you with a bowl of wine!"
Chen Ye changed his normal behavior, tore off his armor, revealing a piece of fluffy chest hair, and waved his arrogant hand: "Ye Ye cut off one hundred and three Hun heads this time, take out half of them, and distribute them to those old people who died in battle!" ”
After finishing speaking, tears fell like rain, crying like an injured old cow, which made the more than 50 people who survived also sad.
In this battle, the Shimen Barrier made great military achievements, and similarly, the Han army suffered great losses, and the five hundred armor soldiers were one out of ten, which could only be regarded as a miserable victory.
On this day, Yang Chuan also used ten out of ten means to cook a 'whole sheep feast' happily, what stir-fried mutton liver, dry fried lamb tripe, braised lamb meat, fried oil blood sausage, spicy mutton trotters, stewed mutton scorpions, hand grasp lamb ribs, roast lamb legs, zero and zero, about 30 meat dishes, let some old people cry when they eat and eat.
Many people came over, saluted Yang Chuan with a bowl of wine, and hugged him hard.
This also led to the fact that after a whole sheep feast was eaten, Yang Chuan's new sheepskin robe could only be taken off and thrown away......
……
Three days later, when Chen Ye commanded the veterans to repair the damaged city wall and clean up the battlefield, a team of 800 Han cavalry drove into the stone barrier.
These 800 kills were covered in blood, and the armor was seriously damaged, obviously after an extremely tragic battle, many people just got off the horse, and they couldn't even walk the road, they should have been fighting continuously on horseback day and night, and the flesh and blood on the inner thighs were blurred.
The captain at the head was extremely strong, about nine feet tall, riding on a war horse, and his two toes could almost be dragged to the ground; There was a scar on the captain's black-red face, from the tip of his eyebrows to his chin, adding a bit of hideous and terrifying.
Yang Chuan quietly asked Chen Ye, only to know that this person was Su Jian, who was now a captain under the command of the general Wei Qing, a cavalry general, who fought fiercely, if it weren't for the taboo of slaughtering one Xiongnu tribe after another, his official position could have been greater.
There is another main reason why Yang Chuan pays attention to this old killer, that is, he has a son who is very famous in later generations: Su Wu.
Su Wu is the same age as Yang Chuan and Huo Quai, and he is also an unlucky guy.
According to historical records, that guy sent an envoy to the Xiongnu more than ten years later, and was detained and sent to Beihai to shepherd sheep for 19 years, and when he came back, his wife had remarried two or three times......
"You are Yang Chuan?"
As soon as he settled down at the stone barrier, the captain named Su Jian summoned Yang Chuan into the big tent and said straight to the point: "Someone entrusted a certain family to rush to save you, you kid has a good brain, and he actually saved himself and the stone barrier with a salary trick from the bottom of the kettle, which is very rare."
Go down and pack up your things, and start pulling out tomorrow, so you can go back to the clouds with a certain family first. ”
When Yang Chuan heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down to salute, and said: "The kid thanked the captain, dare to ask, who is entrusted by the captain?" ”
"Zhang Qian," Su Jian laughed, looking in a good mood, "That old thief has always slammed the door, this time in order to save you, he was willing to take out a cart of Khotanese jade seeds as compensation, it's really rare."
Boy, tell me honestly, are you the illegitimate son of Zhang Qian's old thief in the Huns? Hahaha. ”
Yang Chuan opened his mouth for a while, and then said, "It turned out to be Uncle Zhang Qian......"
At this moment, he was confused for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Since he and his cousin's father were abandoned in the Western Regions by Zhang Qian, and went to the land of Mobei bitterly, Yang Chuan has actually been disheartened by the future 'Bowanghou', and always feels that that person is too eager for quick success, and somewhat unkind.
However, what does it mean to ask someone to save him this time?
In this bullshit Han Empire, he has been bullied, abandoned, deceived and used by others, but Yang Chuan has never been able to harden his heart and kill those people one by one.
It's not a nest, it's a very secret alienation and contempt.
What about Zhang Qian? What about Sima Qian? What about Cui Jiu's old thief? In his eyes, it's just a few condiments at the moment, and it may not even be a decent ingredient.
Of course, as a 'big man chef' who aspires to the world, if the ingredients and condiments are too pressing, he Yang Chuan really doesn't lack the courage to lift the table at the end......
"May I ask Lord Captain, Zhang Qian, is he okay?" Yang Chuan held back for a long time, and finally asked.
"That old thief is very good, he should be cleaning the battlefield in the Lucheng area at this moment," Su Jian stretched his waist, waved his hand and said: "Okay boy, go down and pack up your things, and start tomorrow, don't miss the time." ”
Yang Chuan bowed and bowed and withdrew from the big tent.
As soon as he went out, he walked out a dozen steps, looked up at the sky, and found that it was a bright full moon tonight, no wonder the earth was bright......
