"Then Xiao Yue, I'm leaving, are you waiting for me in Chaisang?" Shao Yuan said goodbye to Xiao Yue again in armor, this time Xiao Yue did not cry, but sent Shao Yuan away like a docile wife. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Miss Xiaoyue, the escort entourage has been arranged, here is a package and a letter, if Bingluo comes to Chai Sang to find me, you can give this thing to her" Gao Zhong didn't wear that scary mask this time

"Okay Gao Gongzi, I will definitely bring it" Xiao Yue bowed and took the heavy package of Gao Pet.

Dugu Lin crossed his hands and walked over, and said helplessly, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, one or two of you are already going to serve the imperial court, and after you come back, we will be officials for a while, take care" said that one hugged Shaoyuan, and then hugged Gao Pet.

Shaoyuan and Gao Chong also said, "Take care"

Dugu Lin and Gao Chong each turned around and got on their horses, one to the east and the other to the west to their respective 'battlefields', leaving only Shaoyuan and Xiaoyue in the middle. Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Doesn't the lady give her husband a parting kiss?"

Xiao Yue's face turned red, and she was a little twisted, "Official, this is a big court, ah" Before he could react, Shaoyuan asked Xiao Yue, and then turned around, "Remember to wait for me obediently in Chaisang"

Satsuki nodded excitedly, "Satsuki will!"

More than 800 lightly armored cavalry, one person and two horses, headed towards Yumen Pass, the northwest gateway of the Han Dynasty. Along the way, passing through Wuwei and other Xiliang counties, one of the biggest differences is that there are more people, and most of the stranded merchants are caravans that have purchased goods from Middle Earth. They basically just inquired about the news at the inn every day, wanting to know the latest news from the front. However, at present, the war is only taking place in the north of the Tianshan Mountains and the south of the Altai Mountains, and has not yet spread to the border of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, there is no news to be found.

In the barracks, Gao Zhong was letting his troops take a lunch break, avoiding the cruel scorching sun, and waited until the temperature dropped slightly before continuing on the road. Shaoyuan can also be regarded as a completely different high-favored, serious, unsmiling, meticulous man, not as lazy and chic as the elegant scholars in the past.

In the barracks, Shaoyuan is also the highest-ranking person, relatively speaking, he can freely enter and exit the main tent in the army. Seeing that there were so many people stranded, Shaoyuan also wanted to ask if the climax had come up with something. In fact, Gao Zhong immediately guessed, "It seems that the news of the turmoil in the Western Regions has spread, after all, we have already started to deploy back and forth, so the merchants dare not continue to go west"

Shaoyuan asked, "So let's continue to the Western Regions for now?"

Gao Zhong nodded, "That's right, the war hasn't burned to the border at the moment, so we still have to continue going, and I vaguely feel that this time the Huns are menacing and unusual."

In the dark, Gao Zhong once again guessed correctly the result he didn't want to guess.

Pei Shan Kingdom in the Western Regions, in the Great Han Protectorate, on the map marked with the 36 countries of the Western Regions, the black chess pieces have been densely distributed throughout the northern region, and the countries of the Western Regions, either surrendering or fighting to the death, are powerless to stop the Xiongnu's southward troops. At this rate, it won't be long before the entire northern frontier will fall. Du Hu also frowned, at the moment he only had 2,000 people in his hands, and his troops were so stretched that he was really unable to rescue the northern frontier, so he just hoped that the rescue would arrive quickly.

"My lord, the vanguard of the Northwest Army has arrived," said an attendant as he walked into the study, his tone slightly excited

"Really, it's so fast, take me there" Du Hu looked excited as if he had seen the bright moon and blue sky.

Walking to the garrison, a person dressed as a lieutenant came over, "See Lord Duhu, the last general of the Northwest Army, the commander of the Northwest Army, led 2,000 people to assist in the defense"

Du Hu was stunned, "Only 2,000 people came?"

Du Wei nodded, "There are more than 30,000 people in the Northwest Army divided into four counties in the west of the Tun River, and Yumen Pass is the gateway of my Han Dynasty, although there are more than 10,000 guards, but they cannot be moved lightly, and now these 2,000 people are already the most troops that the general can send."

Du Hu sighed, "This time the Huns seem to be pouring out, Du Lieutenant, you can follow me to see the current situation"

The two of them stood under the situation map, and Du Wei knew what terror was, and he looked at Lord Du Hu with an incredulous expression, "My lord, you said that the Huns have conquered so many places in so much time?"

Lord Du Hu nodded, "This time the Huns are not good, we add up to only more than 4,000 people, according to this force, it is still impossible to stick to the line of Peishan, let alone repel the Huns"

The lieutenant said, "Then I will immediately send someone back to tell the general that at this scale, it is only possible to turn the situation around if the imperial court sends reinforcements over."

Lord Du Hu sighed, "Right now, everyone in the Western Regions is in danger, and it is difficult for us to do anything with such a small number of people."

It is not groundless for everyone in the countries of the Western Regions to be in danger, and the most typical of them is the Blue Mansion Country.

At present, they are also holding their ministers' meeting, "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, almost the whole panorama of northern Xinjiang has fallen under the iron hooves of the Xiongnu, although we are located in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, the Han army has not yet arrived, but the Xiongnu are so menacing, the arrival of the soldiers is only a matter of time, what are your best countermeasures?"

"King, you can't beat it hard, none of the 36 countries in the Western Regions are the opponents of the Xiongnu, only the Han army can defeat them" A person wearing a property management costume looked unconvinced, but he also said helplessly.

"Does General Nur think that we can only surrender or wait for reinforcements from the Han Dynasty?" asked the king

And a person who looked like a minister of the interior said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Huns are not willing to surrender, although many countries have surrendered, but it is inevitable that the king will be killed and the royal city will be burned."

The king was anxious, "Then what do you mean? You can't fight and fight, and surrendering is also a dead end, don't you want this king to abandon the people and flee alone?"

There was silence at the scene, in fact, many of them were ready to pack up and flee to the big man, in their opinion, fleeing the big man at this moment is definitely a much safer option than sitting here. And to make it reasonable for them to escape, it must be to encourage their king to flee, and then they will flee with him, which can also be called protecting the king. After the Han drove away the Xiongnu, under the protection of the Han army, they could still come back to be their ministers and live the life they wanted.

Suddenly, a plainly dressed man came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way, or we don't have to flee, and the Huns won't destroy our country."

The king said incredulously, "Let's hear it."

The man said, "The reason why they were destroyed must be that they did not offer enough treasures when they surrendered, so that the Huns were not satisfied, as long as we sent enough treasures, we would definitely be able to escape"

Well, when it comes to moving everyone's money bags, everyone immediately looks different, this group of Huns is a demon, in case they break their promise, their treasures will be lost? Without waiting for his subordinates to object, the king has already waved his hand, "No, no, no, without treasure, how can I buy silk and tea from the Han Dynasty, no, no, no, instead of this, I might as well flee to the Han Dynasty."

The man shook his head, "Listen to me, the treasure I am talking about is not gold and silver treasures, but the heads of the Han army."

Everyone's hearts were cold, what nonsense is this person talking about?

The man arched his hand and said, "The Blue House is the northwest artery, and the Han army may send troops to garrison here. If they have few people, or if the Xiongnu attack fiercely, we will use tactics to capture these Han troops. Dedicate these Han troops to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu will definitely let us go."

This plan can be described as extremely vicious, but for the Lanlou country, it is a good plan, the Han and the Xiongnu have a long-standing grudge, and the Han army will definitely make the Xiongnu happy, and they may be able to avoid their death and allow them to surrender.

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and then said, "This is a good plan"

The king weighed left and right, and felt that it should not be a big problem to "kill a few Han soldiers under the circumstances", after all, the Xiongnu were strong, and you can't force them to resist desperately, right? If the Han fight back, it would be good if they surrendered again, and the Han has always paid attention to etiquette and will not embarrass them. So he nodded and said, "This plan is good, then we will take the initiative and invite the Han army to come over to help defend it."
