Yang Chuan, who had been missing for five months, suddenly sent Huo Qubing a secret letter, a map and thousands of soldiers and horses hidden in the Western Regions.

Huo Quzhi read Yang Chuan's secret letter, and was so happy that he didn't know what to say, so he had to catch up with King Youxian and flatten wildly, killing the Huns and running away, and they couldn't form an army.

And then.

According to Yang Chuan's 'guidance', Huo Qubing slowed down the speed of the pursuit, and just followed the remnants of the Right Xian King far away, while cleaning up the mess, gathering up the small countries in the Western Regions that had been beaten into scum by Ah Tie and the Right Xian King, and pacifying the people, while moving forward unhurriedly.

This trick is called driving the wolf and devouring the tiger.

The remnants of the soldiers under the command of King Youxian are now less than 30,000 people, and they don't dare to confront Huo Qubing head-on.

But after all, they were the former overlords of the grassland, and they have always been scattered in the Western Regions, but in front of King Youxian, they are just a group of rabble, as long as they exert a little strength, they can press those Hu people on the grassland and rub them.

As a result, the so-called battle of the Western Regions became very strange.

If the Huns wanted to survive, they had to get rid of Huo Quai's 5,000-feather forest army; If you want to get rid of the Yulin Army, you have to keep attacking the rebellious small countries in the Western Regions, and grab cattle, sheep, livestock, money and grain as logistics supplies; wanted to attack the countries of the Western Regions, but had to guard against Huo Quai's pursuit and surprise attack.

Therefore, King Youxian was ruthless, and attacked those small countries in the Western Regions who betrayed him, and at all costs, he broke through one city after another, and slaughtered one stubble after another......

In this way, King Youxian fled in front, and Huo Qubing pursued in the back.

In the blink of an eye, it's three months.

In these three months, King Youxian broke through 17 cities, slaughtered no less than 100,000 Hu people in the Western Regions, and robbed countless cattle, sheep and livestock.

In addition, some kings who were frightened by the Huns began to take the initiative to show favor and became vassals of the Right Xian King again, and their warriors naturally became the 'servant army' of the Huns.

In three months, the soldiers of the Right Xian King fought more and more.

When he fled to the north of heaven, more than 30,000 remnants of his army were defeated, and miraculously became an army of 90,000.

Thereupon.

King Youxian felt that he could do it again.

Relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, he set up a position on the vast grassland north of the Tianshan Mountains, preparing to fight Huo Qubing to the death......

……

"Ah Tie, our chance has come."

On this day, Ah Tie was commanding the army to camp and wait for Huo Quai's arrival, but as a result, Huo Quai's illness had not yet arrived, but Yang Chuan came.

As soon as he walked into the big tent, Yang Chuan immediately took out a map, pointed and said: "King Youxian wants to fight Huo Qubing in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and wants to rely on the absolute advantage of terrain and numbers, this is his own death, and he can't complain about others." ”

"Ah Tie, you just send a team of 1,000 people to secretly cooperate with Huo Quai's operation."

"When necessary, just fire support, leading troops to fight this kind of thing, Huo Qubing is the first in the world, even if you give the right Xianwang 500,000 troops, you will still be beaten out of and urine."

Ah Tie nodded and sighed: "We hid in the shadows, watched the battle of the champion Hou a few times, only 5,000 men and horses, giving people the feeling of 50,000 or 150,000 troops, one charge over, the two thousand people of the Huns were disabled. ”

Yang Chuan stretched out his hand, rubbed the top of this kid's unkempt head, and said with a smile: "So, people are the god of war, and you are Ah Tie." ”

Ah Tie smiled and grinned: "Childe, when can you let the champion Hou take me to fight a few battles?" ”

Yang Chuan smiled and didn't say anything.

As a Han cook, he carefully laid out, pickled repeatedly, treated the Han Empire as a kitchen, carefully selected ingredients, fried, steamed, boiled and marinated, and had all kinds of means, and did not hesitate to abandon his family and return to the Mobei grassland, but was it just for Huo Quai, the 'God of War of the Han Dynasty'?

As for Liu Che.

It can only be regarded as the best ingredient, and at most it can cook a 'sauce marinated beef hoof tendon', which is chewy and chewy......

"Ah Tie, when Huo Qubing enters the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and begins a decisive battle with King Youxian, you take your soldiers and horses, continue to pretend to be Huns, and turn around to bring disaster to those small countries in the Western Regions again."

Yang Chuan pondered again and again, and finally said his plan: "The countries of the Western Regions are known as a hundred countries, but in fact, there are only twenty or thirty tribes with a large number of people, war horses and a large number of grasslands.

This time, we will have to deal with those powerful powers.

It doesn't matter whether the Han Dynasty passed through the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, or if we opened our mouths and swallowed the entire Western Regions in one gulp.

The important thing is that the Western Regions must not fall into the hands of the Hu people.

After you kill back, you have to use thunder means to directly bulldoze those small countries in the Western Regions that have a little strength, so that they will not be able to recover within two or three hundred years, this is your real task......"

Yang Chuan said it lightly.

However, when these words were heard in Ah Tie's ears, they were like thunder, making his little black face begin to turn red.

"Childe, Ah Tie understands."

Ah Tie took a deep breath and said very solemnly: "Pretending to be a Huns, completely cripple the countries of the Western Regions, and then, after the champion Hou beat the Right Xian King, he turned around to clean up the mess, and the entire Western Regions will become the territory of the Han Dynasty." ”

Yang Chuan nodded, rubbed the top of his head a few more times, and said with a smile: "Go, when you finish this battle, I will send you to Huo Quai's side and be a captain for him." ”

Ah Tie was overjoyed, and returned with thousands of soldiers and horses, bringing disaster to the countries of the Western Regions.

In this place called 'Xingxing Gorge', Yang Chuan stayed for a few days, and surveyed the place for hundreds of miles to make sure that he knew it in his heart, so he went to Jiuquan and Dunhuang unhurriedly.

Because of his appearance, he forcibly rewrote the main line of history of the Han Empire.

Therefore, after Huo Qu's illness destroyed the Hexi Corridor, Liu Che did not divide the Hexi Corridor into four counties, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, as recorded in the history books, and naturally there was no famous 'Hexi Four Counties' in history.

It doesn't matter, though.

Isn't there still Yang Chuan?

On his map, the four counties of Hexi have long been marked, and even, there are the names of the two famous Great Wall passes in later generations-

Yangguan, Yumen Pass.

These names are louder than one in later generations, so that two thousand years later, many people only know Dunhuang, Yangguan, Jiuquan, and Yumen Pass, but they don't know that large bazaar [Lanzhou].

It can only be said that the place names of the ancients are really good thieves, and they are very comfortable to listen to.

"When your brother finishes beating the Right Xian King and turns around to collect the entire Western Regions, the imperial court should consider building Chi Dao and cities along the way."

On this day, Yang Chuan and his entourage came to a piece of sea, built a military village and lived, he drew seven or eight dots on the map, and told Huo Guang and Yang Yi with a smile that in the future, he would not come forward much, and some business contacts would require them to run more errands and do more things.

"Teacher, are we really not going back to Dahan?"

Huo Guang shrunk his neck and asked cautiously.

Yang Chuan nodded, and said with a smile: "I can't go back, but you have to go back." ”

Yang Yinne, who had no sense of presence, asked, "Why?" ”

Yang Chuan asked casually: "Which chef have you ever seen chop off his fingers to make a dish of spicy sheep's trotters when cooking vegetables?" ”

Yang Yi thought about it sideways, but didn't understand.

Huo Guang pondered, muttered a few times, and said: "What the teacher means is that you are in charge of Luding City, and the rest of the things, such as washing vegetables, deboning, cutting meat, chopping and other trivial things, will be done by us?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded.

Among all the layouts, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang are the most important steps, after all, if you want the Han Empire to sweep the world, the force value will always come first.

At the same time, the teaching and cultivation of Zhang Anshi, Huo Guang, and Yang Yi is the most important backhand.

Fight for the world on horseback, and rule the world on horseback.

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and other big Han warriors, there is no problem in leading troops to fight, as long as time passes, Huo Quzhi, who has a few 'secret weapons', only needs 350,000 soldiers and horses, and he can almost push the world, but if you want to let that fool fight with the old yin π the court, sooner or later he will be played to death.

Facts have proved that under Liu Che's hands, none of the fierce generals have a good end.

After Wei Qing was seized of military power, he was depressed and died in silence.

Huo Quzhi was involved in the imperial infighting, and died of illness inexplicably, at the age of only twenty-three.

Gongsun He, Su Jian, Li Guang, Lu Bode, Li Xi...... Waiting for the Han Dynasty to be fierce, there is basically no good end, but it is the later bullshit Han Yan, Li Yannian, Li Guangli and others, the generals who worship the generals, and the feudal marquis of the marquis, completely ruining the last bit of the Han Empire.

To put it bluntly.

In Yang Chuan's view, the biggest root cause of the Han Empire's transformation from prosperity to decline, and the later 'Five Hu Chaohua', is Liu Che.

When he was young, Liu Che was a good emperor.

When he is old and deaf, he is a scumbag.

Therefore, Yang Chuan did not want to stay in Dahan for a long time from the beginning, but tried every means to return to Dahan, and slowly laid out and carefully cared for in the area of Chang'an City.

Now, the Huns have been completely defeated.

Liu Che finally became the one Yang Chuan hated, even if the military situation was urgent, he didn't want to let the general Wei Qing lead the troops to fight, and sent a bullshit Han Yan.

A globe he sent didn't change anything, so it was a request.

But that's good.

I predicted the prediction of history, this special mother is really a sad story.

Yang Chuan was smiling on his face, but in his heart, he was scolding his mother: 'Go to Teniang's old Liu's house, go to Teniang's Han court, yes, I'm not going to play with you.'" ’

Simply.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to level the Western Regions, he had to have a good talk with Huo Quai......

……

Huo Qu was sick at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and went to beat the right Xian King.

Ah Tie turned around, pretended to be a Huns, and continued to plague the countries of the Western Regions.

The 30,000 elite iron cavalry commanded by Han Yan, under the guard of 20,000 servant troops and more than 10,000 baggage troops, also entered the Hexi Corridor.

Along with them, there are 60,000 households of 'Han immigrants'.

These 60,000 immigrants, the main task is Tuntian, their identity is indescribable, nothing more than criminals, businessmen, sons-in-law, criminal officials and the like, for the big dog families in Chang'an City, it is actually a good thing to eliminate such a group of people.

The 60,000 households of immigrants from Tuntian have more than 300,000 people, plus the livestock, farm tools, and simple bows, arrows, knives and guns they carry with them, which is extremely spectacular at first glance.

Han Yan was very proud.

After studying by the emperor's side for more than ten years, he has risen steadily from a small Lang official, and now, he has become the 'chariot general' of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, instead of Yang Chuan, he became the county guard of the Hexi Corridor.

The emperor promised to fight a good battle in the Western Regions and return to Chang'an City, and give him a hussar general.

And, the marquis.

Just thinking about it makes your mouth dry and your face warm and heartbeat......

Along the way, the only thing that made Han Yan dissatisfied was that the veterans of the Northern Army seemed to be not convinced by him, the general of the chariot cavalry, although those captains did not say anything, but in their words and deeds, there would always be a trace of unpleasant contempt.

It seems that the emperor was right.

The Northern Army, which is the Northern Army of the imperial court, how can it tolerate the Northern Army that becomes one or two generals?

In the past, Zhou Yafu was the commander of the Northern Army Battalion, at that time, the Northern Army was still called the Xiliu Battalion, and even Emperor Jing went to the camp, he had to look at Zhou Yafu's face, and he was confused when he thought about it.

Sitting on the tall horse, Han Yan sighed with emotion.

"Seventy miles ahead is Rouge City, General, should we go directly to Rouge City, or set up camp on the spot and go back tomorrow?"

On this day, the army marched to the vicinity of Longshou Mountain, and the sentinel returned to pay a respect.

Han Yan raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and said indifferently: "Tell the soldiers, work harder, go at full speed, and when you arrive at Rouge City, you will invite the brothers to drink wine and eat meat." ”

The order was handed down, and it was slandered.

Seventy or eighty miles of the journey, in fact, the whole day of the march of the army, seeing that the sun is about to set, dusk is approaching, the soldiers who have trekked for a day are sleepy and tired, but they still have to rush at night.

can only say that Han Yan doesn't know soldiers.

"General Che Cai, the army has marched more than 80 miles today, and if you want to travel at night, you also need to bury the pot to make food, so that the soldiers can eat something."

A captain of the Northern Military Academy listened to the complaints of the soldiers, and couldn't help but ride his horse, and said: "In addition, when the army is marching, the soldiers can rush while eating dry food, but the problem is the ...... of the war horses."

Han Yan said with a noncommittal smile: "The general knows that when the army marches, the war horses must stop for twenty miles, wash their noses for thirty miles, and tell the soldiers to hold on, and when they arrive in Rouge City, there will be wine and meat." ”

The lieutenant looked gloomy and turned his horse's head away.

I don't know how to sympathize with the soldiers, I don't know how to love the war horses, in addition to being good-looking, and accompanying the emperor to study and sleep for more than ten years, this new general is simply bullshit......

Seeing the captain leave, Han Yan was in a good mood.

Even if you are not convinced, what can you do?

It seems that the emperor's worries are not unreasonable, the northern army of the Han Dynasty has now really become the private army of the great general Wei Qing, even if tens of thousands of people are stripped out, it seems that they are all oil and salt?

That night, when Han Yan led the army to arrive at the foot of Rouge City, it was already midnight.

In fact, the soldiers were better, but the most offended were the military families who came with the army, who not only dragged their children and daughters, but also used livestock, ox carts and other 'means of transport' to bring all the belongings of their hometown in the Central Plains.

After traveling thousands of miles with the army, many families fell ill on the way, and without enough food and medicine, they could only be abandoned halfway.

A lieutenant of the Northern Army roughly estimated that on the more than 3,000-mile road from Chang'an City to Rouge City alone, no less than 3,000 military households died of illness on the side of the road.

More than 10,000 lives, before they arrived in Tuntian, they died with a whimper.

Moreover, it is often the death of the family.

In this regard, Han Yan never frowned, this noble general of the chariot and cavalry, his mind is full of crisscrossing the battlefield, making meritorious achievements, worshiping the generals and marquises, where can he take care of the lives of one or two hundred thousand lowly military households!

Therefore, when the army arrived in Rouge City, under the cold moonlight, there were mourning all around.
