The night is sleepless and the autumn air is clear, and the candles are frequently cut and desired.

Make the bed cool full of sycamore moon, and the moon is bright in the absence of sycamore.

Pipa wakes up from his sleep, kills a buzzing mosquito, and looks up at the house, where the two are still drinking. The pipa was a little tired, so he leaned against the moon gate. She didn't understand why the two of them could drink so well, they had already drunk until the middle of the night, and they still refused to disperse. The young lady had already gone back to the room to rest under the support of the maid, she didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay a little longer, just to listen to the voice of the gentleman, that is, the old general was too annoying, and the loud voice could make people collapse, and the voice of the gentleman was even more difficult to hear.

"Everyone in the world knows that the old man traveled thousands of miles for the country and killed Zhizhi, but few people know that Gu Ji is the old man's life-saving benefactor, and he is also the old man's sons and daughters."

Chen Tang finally drank high, knocked on the table, and said word by word, his cloudy old eyes were moist, and the candlelight came by, flickering and flickering.

It turned out that Gu Ji had the grace of knowing Chen Tang. When Chen Tang was in Chang'an, he was appreciated by Zhang Bo, the Marquis of Fuping, and recommended himself to the imperial court. Just as Chen Tang was about to make a big move, his father passed away. According to the etiquette system at that time, Chen Tang had to go home to keep filial piety for three years. But Chen Tanghuai has not met for many years, just like a gourmand who saw the Manchu and Han banquets he had loved for a long time, but was told that he could not eat it until three years later, and after three years, could he still eat it? Moreover, the father's lifelong wish is to hope that his son can get ahead. If Chen Tang abides by the system, it is estimated that the old man can be so angry that he can come back to life. So Chen Tang concealed the news and stayed in Chang'an to wait for the imperial court appointment. I didn't expect the appointment to come, but I waited for bad luck. At that time, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and Prime Minister Kuang Heng seized Chen Tang's handle, not only did not grant him an official position, but also imprisoned him, and Zhang Bo, the Marquis of Fuping, was reprimanded and cut down 200 households on the grounds of improper recommendation. Just when Chen Tang was disheartened, the bus commander Gu Ji took advantage of the emperor's night tour of Taiye Pool to intercede with the emperor, saved Chen Tang's life, and recommended him as a Lang official. If Zhang Bo is his Bole, then Gu Ji is his nobleman.

So one day, the noble Gu Ji came to the palace of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate. When old friends see each other, they feel emotional. Captain Gan Yanshou is also a cheerful person, and the three of them drank until midnight in the backyard of the Metropolitan Protectorate that night. When talking about the purpose of Gu Ji's trip was to escort Zhizhi Shan Yu's son Ju Yu Lishou back to China, Gan Yanshou pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Sima is a reasonable person, as the old saying goes: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Even if you return the proton and send it to the plug, why risk your life? ”

Gu Ji stood up and opened the window, the wind from the Western Regions blew into the house, and he suddenly felt a cool air.

"Don't hide it from Captain Gan and Brother Xian, when Ji set off, the ministers of the DPRK and China had this opinion, and His Majesty also felt that this move was too risky, but only sent out of the Saiwai, clearly indicating that my Han and the Northern Xiongnu are no longer friendly, and may even abandon the former favor, establish a grudge, and give the other party an excuse not to return, it is better to send it to the Zhizhi royal court to see if he is attached. With such a strong strength of our dynasty, even if Zhizhi dared to risk the disapproval of the world and be unfavorable to the Han envoys, he would definitely be afraid that he would not dare to approach the border because he would offend the Han Dynasty. With the sacrifice of one of my envoys, it is worth it in exchange for a few years of peace on the border!"

At that moment, everyone was silent, Gan Yanshou poured a big sip of wine, and took the case: "If it weren't for the imperial court military order, I would like to raise an army and escort Wei Sima there!" It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Gu Ji poured a big bowl of wine, and the three of them did it together, Gu Ji wiped his mouth, thanked Gan Yanshou, turned his head to Chen Tang and said, "Brother Zigong, Brother Fool has something to trust, and I hope Brother Xian will agree." ”

Chen Tang hurriedly got up and slammed to the ground: "Don't dare to ask Brother Lao, but Brother said that Tang Wu didn't allow it." ”

Gu Ji grabbed Chen Tang's hand, and his tone was sad: "Brother Xian, I'm going, nine deaths, I know that Brother Xian has a daughter, smart and virtuous, foolish brother is not talented, I want to get a good family for the dog, things are in a hurry, my brother is not prepared, I hope that Brother Xian will remember the feelings of the foolish brother who rescued the virtuous brother, and promise this matter, and in the future, I will take care of Yong'er one or two, and under the nine springs of brother, I am grateful!" After that, he bowed his head, causing Gan Yanshou to sigh, and Chen Tang choked silently.

Yangguan.

The wind and sand in the Western Regions are always so annoying, even if they are tightly wrapped, the sand can still get through the gaps in the boots, and you have to pour the boots down after walking a few steps. Gu Ji and they are going to walk out of Yangguan today, and only God knows whether they will die or live after that.

Seven days later, a horse galloped on the Huangsha Road outside the Western Regions Protectorate, and smoke and dust billowed out. Half an hour after the knight entered the city, another horse rushed out of the east gate, and the knight's red turban was particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Late at night, the lights in the Duhu Mansion were bright, and the back hall had become a pot of porridge, Gan Yanshou held the sword in his hand and shouted: "You are waiting to force me to rebel!" ”

Chen Tang took a step forward, his chest pressed against the tip of the sword, and all the generals could hear the sound of the tip of the sword piercing through the flesh.

"Captain Gan, you and I both know how long it will take to send out the twists and turns from here and reach Chang'an. Even when they arrived in Chang'an, those noble lords only knew how to appreciate singing and dancing, how many of them knew how to march into the army? They will certainly not agree to our request. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to cut first and then play, and the captain also knows that Zhizhi has now gained a firm foothold in Kangju State, and is constantly invading neighboring countries, intending to annex Wusun and Dawan. Once these two countries are conquered, all the kingdoms of the Western Regions will be threatened within a few years. If it is appeased for a long time, Zhizhi will be a disaster in the Western Regions. Zhizhi and my Han can only rule this land. If we are indifferent to Gu Ji's death, in a few years, the Western Regions Protectorate will cease to exist! Taking advantage of the fact that Zhizhi now does not have a strong bow and cannot hold on, it is better for us to launch the Tuntian soldiers on the border, plus the men and horses of the Western Regions, to launch an attack in one fell swoop, pointing directly at its city, Zhizhi is bound to have nowhere to escape, and you and I will achieve a thousand years of achievements in one day. Please think again! ”

Gan Yanshou sighed: "Brother Xian, don't I know these truths, it's just that our trip is just a change of guard, and we don't have the power to mobilize the army!" After saying that, he put the sword into the sheath, turned around and walked to the inner hall, leaving only one sentence: "What a dilemma!" ”

On the flagpole outside the royal court, a head hangs, and several vultures hover in the air, making a sharp cry from time to time. Two wolves were trying to climb up the flagpole, and on the grassy slope not far away, a dead horse's belly had been cut open, and several wolves were feasting, whining in their throats. A wolf howl came from afar, and the wolves looked up, and were hesitating, when another wolf howl came, and the wolves reluctantly glanced at the dead horse, turned and ran into the depths of the grassland. The vultures swirling in the sky swooped down like stones, and the dead horse's body was suddenly densely covered with black necromancers.
