The more than 10,000 Hun warriors of King Hutu were forced to escape into the Black Wind Gorge of Longshou Mountain under the strong blows of Yang Chuan's calculations and Huo Quai's illness.

And then.

There is no then.

The Grand Canyon is about seventeen or eighteen miles deep, no more than twenty or thirty zhang wide, and the exit at the east end has long been blocked by Yang Chuan, and a pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack was built on the spot, and a thousand elite soldiers were sent to guard it, which not only blocked the living road of the Hun cavalry under the account of King Hutu to go north, but also blocked the road for the Huns from Mobei to enter the Hexi Corridor in the south.

As for the west end of the canyon, a pass wall was also built.

More than 10,000 people starved to death in the Black Wind Gorge.

By the time the spring flowers bloom next year, there should be a lot of Gesang flowers, dog's tail flowers, or overgrown with sagegrass, camel canopy, red willow or something in that Grand Canyon, and none of this matters.

The important thing is that the 'Battle of Hexi', which lasted for more than four months, has finally come to an end.

The Han army won a great victory.

The Huns in the Hexi Corridor were defeated.

In the process of purging for more than a month, the families of the two kings of ten thousand households, as well as the generals and households of their small royal court, were killed 763 people, and 3,211 people were captured.

Among them, there was indeed a young man named Jin Riyan.

Yang Chuan thought about it again and again, and finally sent the young man on the road with a bowl of poisonous wine.

It's not that he has a bad heart, but he doesn't want the descendants of King Hutu to resurrect and become one of the hidden dangers of the Han Empire.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

Facts have proved that after Jin Riyan returned to the Han Dynasty, he was deeply loved by Liu Che, and at the same time, in order to appease and stabilize the hearts of the remnants of the Huns in the Hexi Corridor, he had to exempt their little prince and let him become an official, a marquis, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.

Why, those who are born in the aristocracy have many privileges?

Yang Chuan is not used to it.

Although he is now one of the top predators of the Han Empire, he may even be the largest...... one, but this did not affect his people's hearts in the slightest.

"Go sick, Cao Xiang, the dust of the battle of Hexi has settled, and it is estimated that you will soon return to Chang'an."

On this day, Huo Qubing returned from the remnants of the Huns, and the three of them gathered in Rouge City, chatting while eating mutton shabu, Yang Chuan looked at Huo Quzhi and suddenly smiled: "My Longxi County Taishou is estimated to be at the end, and the emperor should be left in the Hexi Corridor as a Taishou, and the two of you will go back, and you will have to scold me a few more words in front of the emperor." ”

Cao Xiang directly lay down and sighed with emotion: "Oh, this Hou returned to Chang'an City, immediately opened a Hu people's green house, and brought a group of Hu girls and Hun women from the Western Regions back to ensure that they can make a lot of money." ”

Regarding Cao Xiang's boredom, Yang Chuan and Huo Quzhi directly ignored it.

Huo Quzhi looked a little absent-minded, he didn't look very happy with shabu shabu and drinking.

After this battle, the Hexi Corridor was penetrated, first of all, at the military level, it has been included in the territory of the Han Empire.

Needless to say, Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang have already become the marquis of the Han Dynasty, and the title can no longer be rewarded, unless it ...... Crowned king.

But in Liu Bang's 'edict of the first emperor', it is clear that if Liu is not the king, the world will attack him, and if he blocks the thoughts of everyone except the old Liu family.

"I don't want to go back to Chang'an," Huo Quzhi sighed, and lay flat on Ma Zazi like Cao Xiang, "Let's just lay down a two or three thousand miles long Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions, Monan, Mobei, how many Huns are there?"

Returning to Chang'an City is nothing more than promoting my champion Hou to a liehou, which is boring.

In addition, my uncle and they are still fighting in Mobei, and it is estimated that I will be sent to Mobei to fight before I return to Chang'an City.

I like wars.

However, after the battle, the Huns were beaten down, my uncle, you Yang Chuan, I Huo Quai, and your dog's Cao Xiang, what are we going to do when we go back to Chang'an City? Emperor......

Forget it, let's drink first. ”

Huo Quzhi turned over, lifted the wine bag, and poured seven or eight mouthfuls of spirits into his throat, laughed a few times, and praised loudly: "Good wine!" ”

Yang Chuan looked at Huo Quzhi's face very seriously, and was surprised to find that this guy's Danfeng eyes seemed to be one or two points narrower, two sword eyebrows, tall and proud, straight into the temples, and seemed to be even more handsome.

What particularly surprised him was that in the depths of Huo Quai's eyes, there seemed to be starlight shining, like the depths of the blue sky, full of stars, deep, quiet and distant.

One word: Huo Quai, really handsome!

"Go to the sick, don't worry, in our life, there will be endless battles."

Yang Chuan had already prepared, and took out a sheepskin map from his arms and threw it to Huo Quai: "The prince and princess of the Hutu Department, there is not a single living mouth left, I will kill them all."

In the treasures of their tribe, more than 7,000 catties of gold, dozens of carts of Hetian jade seeds, various gems, and more than 20 boxes of pearls were found, which can be regarded as a small fortune.

However, the two most precious things among them, one is the Xiongnu people's sacrifice to the heavens, and the other is this volume of the Western Regions territory map. ”

For gold, gems, and people who worship the heavens, Huo Quzhi was not interested in anything at all, just nodded slightly, and then immersed himself in the sheepskin map and couldn't extricate himself: "The Western Regions are so big? ”

"And, over this and two mountain ranges, where is there much more?"

Finally, his gaze fell to the upper left corner of the map, where there was a large black dot in sight, and slowly looked up: "What is this place?" ”

Yang Chuan glanced at the map and said quietly: "That is the Roman Republic, and in another fifty or sixty years, there will be a powerful figure named Caesar, unify the Mediterranean, and establish an empire across the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, called the Roman Empire."

By the way, after returning to Chang'an City, you can tell the emperor that the emperor of the Roman Empire is proud of the world, known as invincible, and his greatest wish is to sweep the world, set foot on the four seas, and unify the whole universe ......"

's words not only made Huo Quzhi stunned, but even Cao Xiang, who was lying flat and rotten, eating and waiting for death, felt a little outrageous, and couldn't help but sit up straight: "Yang Chuan, you have been a god stick in Rouge City these days, it seems that you are famous?" ”

Fifty or sixty years from now, you can know, isn't this a monster?

Look at what you can......

"It's all written in books, and I didn't make it up," Yang Chuan shook his head and sighed, unhurriedly shaking meat and drinking.

Cao Xiang was silent.

Yang Chuan often said some deviant words and did some things that people were angry about, which made people a little unbelievable, but when he thought about it afterwards, he suddenly felt that he said it well and did it right, and he was really a good god.

Huo Quzhi insisted on asking: "Which book is it?" What is your name? Who wrote it? ”

Yang Chuan had long known that in addition to leading troops to fight, this thing was simply a tendon in other things, so he had already been prepared, and took out a parchment book from his arms and threw it over: "Na, just this book." ”

Huo Quzhi took the parchment roll, first glanced at the old and new, and then opened it.

And then.

His eyes were a little glazed, and he slowly raised his head: "What is this, what kind of text?" Why can't Ben Hou understand? ”

"There are a lot of things you don't understand," Yang Chuan responded casually, "I didn't know it at first, but later, a Hun priest was tortured by me in a hurry, so he told me that this kind of writing is called Sanskrit, and it is said that it was created by an Aryan race, and it spread from north to south, and spread to the Nile River Valley, the Ganges River Valley, and ......."

Yang Chuan talked eloquently, and in the Chinese dialect, mixed with some obscure Xiongnu languages, it seemed even more unfathomable, which made Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang both stunned.

Isn't it made up?

Seeing this, Yang Chuan shook his head again and smiled bitterly: "Look, my words, even the two of you don't believe it, will the emperor believe it?"

Go sick, Cao Xiang, it's not that I blame you two, it's really not me who made it up.

The world is so big that it is indescribable.

Our emperor, if his eye sockets are too shallow and his vision is too short, as far as his eyes can see, it is nothing more than the land of the six counties, the Central Plains, the Hexi Corridor, the south and north of the desert, and the east of the Jianghuai River...... There will be a very dire consequence. ”

He paused, ignoring the confusion and anxiety of Huo Qubing and Cao Xiang, and continued: "Do you think, such a large territory can be swept away quickly in the battle between my father-in-law, General Wei Qing, and you, Huo Quai, right?"

However, after sweeping the world, where do you two go? ”

He thought about it for a while, and simply said it thoroughly: "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, and the birds hide their bows to kill the good ministers, this is the old Liu family's specialty." ”

After saying these words, Yang Chuan stopped talking.

As a courtier, in the distant Hexi Corridor, in the face of Huo Quai, the 'shadow of the emperor' cultivated by Liu Che himself, and Liu Che's nephew Cao Xiang, such rebellious words are really a bit excessive and outrageous......

The reason why Yang Chuan is like this is also a decision made after some careful consideration.

He's gambling.

Bet on the character of Huo Qubing and Cao Xiang, bet on the relationship between the three of them, and bet that these two people have already understood the truth of 'the bird is hidden by the bow'.

All three were silent.

For a long time.

Cao Xiang was the first to speak, and said very solemnly: "Yang Chuan, I don't care about other things, I just want to ask you, you have to tell the truth." ”

Yang Chuan: "Ask." ”

Cao Xiang groaned a few times and said, "Your map and parchment scroll, but is it true?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Cao Xiang lay flat directly, half-squinting, as if thinking about something important.

Huo Quzhi also opened his mouth and said, "Yang Chuan, I also ask you a word." ”

Yang Chuan: "Okay. ”

Huo Quzhi stared at Yang Chuan's eyes very seriously, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Are you human?" ”

'Poof'.

Yang Chuan just drank a sip of wine in his mouth, and he was squirted out at once, and when he turned his face, he just sprayed Cao Xiang on his head and face.

Cao Xiang snorted, hurriedly wiped the wine and saliva on his head and face, and scolded: "Huo Quai, what kind of bullshit are you talking about, look at it, let Yang Chuan shoot me in the face......"

Huo Quzhi's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Cao Xiang, you belong to a dog, right?" Yang Chuan sprayed you with a face of wine, why didn't you scold him, but you had to scold me? Believe it or not, Ben Hou knocked out your two front teeth with one punch? ”

Cao Xiang was also furious: "Come on, come on, you come to fight?" ”

"Before you got married, you cried and begged and ran to ask Ben Hou to suppress the shrew in your family."

"It's good now, you learned Benhou's trick, and you still want to knock out my front teeth?"

"Come on, come on, try your dog's punch? Believe it or not, when I returned to Chang'an City, I cried to my uncle, saying that you Huo Qubing bullied his daughter every night......"

Cao Xiang sprinkled up, no worse than those little women in Chang'an City, while scolding, he also squeezed his eyebrows at Yang Chuan, and the meaning was obvious: "Hurry up, do me a favor, don't let Huo Qubing really do it...... Yes! ’

It's cowardly and bad, with a hint of natural cheapness.

Seeing that Huo Qu's illness was about to enter the berserk mode, Yang Chuan had no choice but to help, he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and scolded with an angry smile: "Okay, okay, how old are you, and you are still making such a fuss?" ”

Huo Qu smiled angrily, and scolded: "Cao Xiang, you promised that you would never tell the second person about that time, why don't you talk about any credibility?" ”

Cao Xiang spread his hands and said very innocently: "So, Ben Hou will tell Yang Chuan in front of you, he is a third person, not a second person......

There was a muffled bang.

Cao Xiang and Ma Zazi under his ass were kicked by Huo Quzhi and flew out seven or eight feet, hitting the stone wall hard, humming and chirping for a long time and couldn't get up.

The more Huo Quzhi thought about it, the more angry he became, he poured two sips of spirits, and wanted to pounce on it and kick it a few more times, but he was persuaded by Yang Chuan's words.

"When you return to Chang'an City, the Battle of Mobei should almost be over."

Yang Chuan sandwiched a few pieces of mutton, scalded it for a breath or two in the clear and clear mutton soup, as long as the mutton changed color, he took it out, dipped it in a little garlic sesame oil dipping sauce, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed gently: "I'll make a bet with the two of you." ”

Huo Quzhi subconsciously scolded: "Don't bet, whoever bets on you, who is a leper dog!" ”

Cao Xiang was afraid that Huo Qubing would continue to be beaten, so he simply lay on the ground and did not move.

Yang Chuan smiled: "Really don't gamble? ”

Huo Quzhi muttered 'no betting', but couldn't help asking: "Yang Chuan, what do you want to bet on?" ”

Yang Chuan said casually: "I bet with you, when you return to Chang'an City, the battle of Mobei should almost end, this battle, my father-in-law and they swept through Mobei, slashed countless battles, so that the vitality of the Huns was greatly damaged, basically in the south of the desert has no foothold, plus we have captured the entire Hexi corridor, it is a fatal blow to them."

So.

Ben Hou concluded that the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Yizhixian must have moved westward or fled north.

All in all, from now on, there will be no Xiongnu ...... in the south and north of the desert and the west corridor of Hexi."

Huo Quzhi was a little anxious when he heard this: "We all know these things, the question is, what do you want to bet?" ”

Yang Chuan suddenly sighed and said slowly: "I bet with you that from now on, my father-in-law, your uncle, Cao Xiang's stepfather, Marquis Changping, and the general Wei Qing will not be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor from now on."

Depressed, and from now on, ......"
