For the first time, the Son of Heaven set a flat strategy for Zhang Qian to unveil the recruitment list

The Son of Heaven was pleased with the arrival of foreign countries, and it was easy to open up the border from then on, and the army of 100,000 went out of the fortress, accumulating white bones and half the Great Wall.

It is said that the Xiongnu Aries Xiaowang led his subordinates to surrender, and the Longxi county guard and the commander escorted the Longxi soldiers all the way to Chang'an; Because Sima talked about his special identity and talent, he was respected by the county guard, and introduced to the little king of the Huns. The name of this Xiongnu king is Huyanlang, which was originally a branch of the Beihu Aries tribe, and when the Aries was surrendered by the Xiongnu, he became a knight of the Xiongnu and followed the Xiongnu army to fight. This time, the Xiongnu were in the Hexi area, and the Qiang people wanted to compete for the land of water and grass, but the Qiang people were not like the Han people, but mainly defensive, but the same strong bow and humvee, Huyanlang was defeated in a battle, but the other Xiongnu tribes were indifferent to him, and no one rescued. Hu Yanlang was disheartened and decided to join Han.

Sima Tan was introduced to Hu Yanlang, Hu Yanlang had seen such a talented figure in the Huns, and after a conversation, he was very fond of Sima Tan and sincerely admired. Sima Tan talked to him about the mountains and rivers of the Xiongnu, the talents in charge, Hu Yanlang knew everything and said everything; Sima Tan also talked to him about the demeanor of China's great power, the scenery of the world, the hundreds of counties and countries, and the innumerable handsome; the bustling city and beautiful gardens; the young men of Chang'an wore brocades, flying eagles and lackeys, and gambled in a hundred plays; and the tributes from all over the country were dazzling. Hearing this, the Huns were dumbfounded, and they could no longer think of how flowery and splendid China was, and they were determined to arrive in Chang'an as early as possible. Ladies and gentlemen, is this Sima talking about these people who are not afraid of the Huns' bad intentions and disturb my splendid China? Sima Tan here is not a casual remark, but a promising. Just imagine, these Huns are all at the end of the road, desperate to surrender, there is no way back, not afraid of them repeatedly; even if they take a step back, they want to repeat, they do not have a few people, can not turn over the big waves; the most important thing is that these Huns grow on horseback all day long, living in pursuit of water and grass, and have not lived a stable life, now let them know the beauty of a stable life, once they come into contact with the life of Chang'an teenagers, dogs and horses, they can't get rid of it. In addition to winning the hearts of the Xiongnu, Sima Tan also had an important purpose, he wanted to understand the situation of the Xiongnu in depth, because the counterattack of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu was ready to fly, and the more he knew about the Xiongnu, the greater the chance of victory. During the day, I talked to the Huns one by one, and at night I wrote down what I talked about on bamboo slips for later viewing.

Along the way, there are people from all over the government to provide food, and it is not lonely to talk about it. Yu Lu Fei stopped for a day, and arrived at the city of Chang'an early.

The county guard and the lieutenant handed over the Xiongnu Xiaowang to the Chang'an Neishi who came to greet him, and went to the pavilion to wait, and his own acquaintances and colleagues invited him to drink and play; Sima Tan and his son thanked the county guard for the invitation, and went to the government to deliver the documents, carefully prepared the article for questioning, and waited for the summons. Later, Sima Tan was awarded the post of Taishi, recording the conversation between the emperor and the minister, although the status was respected, but it was the position of a historian; after Sima Tan's death, Sima Qian inherited his father's throne, and the father and son were obsessed with each other and could not make greater achievements. Not to mention.

However, it is said that Hu Yanlang and others of the Xiongnu were given official positions by Hu Yanlang and others in Chang'an, according to their ranks, and compared them one by one with the register of Longxi County Guards; the cattle and sheep and livestock of their dependents were resettled outside Shanglin Yuan; and Hu Yanlang and the others were given official positions and incorporated into the two armies of the north and south -- these two armies were the elite of the Han army that guarded the capital and Chang'an. In addition, the emperor gave Hu Yanlang and other houses, money, and food, which were different. The Huns were overjoyed. Hu Yanlang dedicated the white horse he rode to the emperor, and the horses and swords he brought were also dedicated to the imperial court. When the emperor saw Huyanlang's horse, he was shocked and asked to understand that this horse was not from the Xiongnu, but from the extreme west, where it was called Dawan. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered the poet to write a poem about the occasion.

Heavenly horses from the West Pole,

In the end, there is virtue.

Inherit the inspiration to descend to foreign countries,

Wading in quicksand and four suits

The emperor personally summoned Huyanlang. Someone had already taught him court etiquette, how to meet the emperor, how to respond, and so on. Hu Yanlang changed into his court clothes, and waited outside the court according to the specifications and grades of 2,000 stones, feeling uneasy in his heart, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse. Under the guidance of the confessor, Hu Yanlang walked into the court, the tall palace, the endless carved beams and painted buildings, the corridor twists and turns, the array is rare and exotic, and the fragrant fragrance is like an orchid and a musk deer. Hu Yanlang was dumbfounded, obsessed, dizzy, dizzy, not knowing that there was such a place in the world, and he was in a trance in the fairy shijie. Seeing that Hu Yanlang was in a trance, he didn't know why, and he smiled secretly in his heart. Walking through palaces, turning porches, I finally stopped in front of a tall palace. When did Hu Yanlang, who had been riding on a horse all day, come such a long way?

Until he worshiped the emperor, Hu Yanlang had not come back to his senses, and seeing that the emperor was a little confused, the confessor secretly told the emperor Hu Yanlang's expression along the way. The emperor smiled and said, "Hu Yanlang, how do you feel about my palace?

Hu Yanlang came back to his senses, the Han Emperor in front of him was just a young man less than twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wearing a black gauze crown facing the sky, and wearing a blue and golden dragon brocade robe, full of vigor and refreshment.

Hu Yanlang replied in a somewhat rusty Chinese: "Compared with the imperial palace of Bixia, our Xiongnu's dragon court is just a horse shed!"

The people around the emperor were hahadaxiao, the emperor squinted his eyes, did not smile, and he let out a thoughtful "en".

He beckoned Yanlang to sit down: "You are a guest from afar, so feel free." Someone next to him hinted that Hu Yanlang was grateful, but seeing that Hu Yanlang didn't understand, the emperor waved his hand, and the waiters, eunuchs, etc. stopped talking.

The emperor summoned Hu Yanlang three times in a row, and each time he talked for a whole day, and carefully asked Hu Yanlang everything he knew about the Xiongnu, during which the people who came with Hu Yanlang were also summoned at the same time. Hu Yanlang and others talked about everything they knew, what the Xiongnu's left and right kings, various tribes, Donghu, Filthy tapirs, North Korea, Wusun and Dawan in the west, Ding Ling in the north, and so on, all of them talked about strange customs, such as sacrifices and worship, to the birth, old age, sickness and death of the tribesmen. The emperor opened his eyes, and he asked the prime minister, the prince, the prince and others to accompany him to summon him, and he also had a long insight and opened his eyes.

On the fourth day, the emperor went to court, and Prime Minister Zhao Xuan, Taiwei Dou Ying, Imperial Historian Wang Zang and Jiuqing gathered together. After the affairs of the DPRK and China were dealt with, everyone talked about the arrival of the Xiongnu in the past few days. The emperor said with some excitement: "Hu Yanlang said a new situation: they broke through the Da Yue clan with the old Shangji porridge, killed the king of the Yue clan, used the head of the king of the Yue clan as a wine vessel, and insulted the Yue clan, and the Yue people hated the Xiongnu together. The Yue clan is in the west of the Xiongnu, and the Yue clan is also a tribe that can attack and fight, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, second only to the Xiongnu in the outer tribes. If I can join forces with the Yue clan, I will attack from the south and east, and the Yue clan will attack from the west, and I will be able to destroy the Xiongnu in one fell swoop!

Everyone was talking about how to join forces with the Yue Clan. Since the Dayue clan was killed by the Xiongnu to kill their king, they fled all the way to the west, and now even the Xiongnu do not know where they fled to, only that they must flee to the west; and they do not know the current situation of the Dayue people at all, no matter where the Yueshi goes, if they want to find them, they must pass through the Xiongnu or the Qiang people. Find Yue's family, whether people are willing to unite with us or not. The possibility of finding Yueshi is too small, and the risk is too great. Everyone's initial excitement turned to coldness. This is the emperor's idea, although the emperor has just been on the throne for two years and is not yet 18 years old, ** and the empress dowager, the empress dowager has made up his mind on major matters, and on the issue of the Huns, the emperor's determination has long been made. Hearing the difficulties of everyone, the emperor's face sank. After being silent for a long time, seeing that the emperor's face was getting more and more ugly, everyone felt that their backs were getting hotter and wetter.

Zuihou Dou Ying said: "I have a lot of people who are geniuses. It is better to use the same method of recruiting and recommending officials and civilians to set up a "heroic edict" and recruit heroes from all over the world, regardless of their origins and status, and to grant envoys so that they can serve the imperial court. In this way, there is no need to worry about financial use, and there is no need to worry about his manpower and material resources. It is best if he can find the Yue clan and take the alliance with the Yue clan, and give him an official title, and there are many officials in the court; even if he can't find the Yue clan, without the Yue clan, my Han will still attack the Xiongnu!"

"That's it!" the emperor walked away with a calm face, and the ministers drew up an edict with a cold sweat all over their bodies.

The edict was hung and posted all over Chang'an, and there were edicts in all the counties and countries of the world, but for many days, no one took down the edict. Dou Ying couldn't sit still, this was his idea, and now no one wants to accept the edict, but it's ugly.

Finally on the fifth day, someone reported to Dou Ying: "The prince is overjoyed! Someone has received the edict!" Dou Ying put a heart into his stomach. "Who is it?" the man saved his life.

"Big Zhang!"

"It's familiar. Can't remember who it is?"

Dou Ying's friend Guan Fu has been accompanying him for the past few days, and at this time he smiled and said: "Why did the prince forget him? Last year's palace corner meeting, he won the championship! Wu Qilang, Yu Linwei, that big man in Hanzhong!"

"Oh, yes, yes! Zhang Da is a martial artist in the palace. Whose son is he? I want to see him as soon as possible. ”

"His father died in battle when quelling the Wu Chu Rebellion, and he was raised by the first emperor in the palace as a lang. I'll arrange for him to come to you right away. ”

The bushman hurried out, mounted his horse, and led a few people to the palace.

You said that the edict had been hanging for several days, and no one had taken it? Now Zhang Da weishenme has received the edict again? It can be said that every time the imperial court issues an edict, the edict responds to the battle, goes on an expedition, or other things, it can be said that there are many people who respond to it. But this time, although some people were eager to try, others immediately reminded: "Apply for an envoy? Over the years, I only remember that someone sent an envoy, but I didn't see anyone come back! The Xiongnu even detained and even killed the Han envoy who went to their Xiongnu. Go to Yueshi, what do you think will happen to the Xiongnu? There are so many capable people in the imperial court, such a good thing, why don't they go? Usually there is a little benefit, they rush to go, but this time no one goes, and the edict is issued to the world to enlist. It can be seen that the application is based on the old cat and the tiger - there is no score in the heart. The recruits were three-month-old dolls thrown into the water - they heard the sound of the water, but they couldn't get out. "Many people think that the imperial court's promise to give the official title after returning is to paint cakes to satisfy hunger. "Pass through the Xiongnu and go to find the Yueshi. The sharp arrows and fast horses of the Huns, who can resist them? What's more, do you know where the Yue clan is?" Moreover, the imperial court recruited envoys, only taking care of the affairs of one person, and the gifts were huge, which were for the king of the Yue family. The business of the envoy is not the business of one person, but it is necessary to bring servants, guards, and servants, and so many people, and there must be cooks, tailors, and grooms; these people eat, drink, and sleep, but they are all the business of the recruits. Ordinary people don't look at any recruitment, and rich people, since they have money, don't want to do anything about sending envoys; the officials and nobles are moved by their minds, thinking that if they are like the envoys who went to the Xiongnu in the past, won't they be wasting their work in vain? Although many people have the intention to win wealth and nobility, they are looking ahead and backward. In fact, since the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Hui, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing, except for Liu Jing, who had already become famous, and later became a marquis because of his envoy to the Xiongnu, no one else became famous because of the envoy; on the contrary, some people were trapped in the envoy, and they could not come back for a few years or more than ten years, and when they returned, most of their colleagues became big officials. Therefore, many people are not optimistic about the mission.

Zhang Da is on an errand in the palace, just because he is tall, he is called a big man, but no one knows his real name, and he himself has forgotten it. Since the imperial court has issued an edict to prepare to gather heroes and envoys to the Yue clan, I know it. I had a calculation in my heart. Hero, a very attractive title, twenty-year-old Zhang Da has lived in Chang'an since he was a child, living in the palace, and when he was a little older, he became the emperor's bodyguard, Wu Qilang, following the emperor, following the emperor's relatives and relatives, princely generals, showing off his might, majestic, and seemed to be very proud. In fact, many warriors and sergeants know that the people of Chang'an hate them in their hearts. Because they are pretending to be powerful and domineering. Many people long in their hearts to be like their ancestors, lift a three-foot sword, step off the horse, serve the field, spill blood, sweat, and be crowned the marquis of ten thousand households. However, since the pacification of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the world is peaceful, although there are Xiongnu from time to time, but the court has no intention of starting a war with the Xiongnu, the samurai in horseback riding, archery, martial arts, had to drink, fight, steal chickens and dogs, sleep flowers and willows, many people's youth wasted, and even lost their lives in vain.

Do you want to unveil the list? Can you complete the task? Zhang Da turned his calculations upside down in his heart. Leaving Chang'an is his most urgent wish, and he will be able to leave immediately after revealing the list; he has been deeply disappointed with everything at present, and the high-ranking officials in the court, the children of meritorious heroes, and the royal relatives and nobles are full of people, and it is difficult for people without power and power to come out in the future. Envoy, but if you can't find Yue, or even be captured by the Xiongnu, it will become a daxiao dialect. Zuihou was the bushman who helped him make up his mind.

Dou Fu is Dou Ying's old subordinates, they formed a deep friendship in the pacification of the Wu Chu Rebellion, but Dou Fu drank, foug, and the guests under his door were like flowing water, and there was no shortage of heroic outlaws from all over the world, which made the powerful disgusted. The Empress Dowager annoyed Dou Ying, although this Dou Ying was the Empress Dowager's maiden family, she did not follow the Empress Dowager's words, but regarded herself as a loyal servant of the Han Dynasty everywhere. Therefore, during the time of filial piety, Dou Ying was dismissed, and the bushman was also unlucky. Now although Dou Ying has re-emerged from the mountain and is in power again, the bushman has seen through the court situation and has not become an official again, but just revolves around Dou Ying under Dou Ying's door. The emperor's plan and Dou Ying's strategy, Dou Ying didn't hide it from the husband at all, and he said it clearly. Who knew that no one would unveil the list in a few days, which was unexpected by Dou Ying. Dou Ying is in a hurry to get angry, the husband can see it clearly, Dou Ying's future and even his net worth and life are related to this, although the husband is rude on the surface, but he is not stupid, without Dou Ying, he will be knocked down immediately, become a prisoner, and even lose his head, his family and brothers will also collapse.

He set his sights on Zhang Da. Originally, he had nothing to do with Zhang Da, once he took dozens of people to hunt in Nanshan, and in less than half a day, he shot down a few deer, pheasants, and wild ducks. Suddenly, a sika deer burst out of the woods around him, and the bushman did not hurry to bend his bow and arrows, and with the sound of strings, the sika deer roared and rolled down the hillside. Bushman's friend hurriedly chased down the horse, turned around a forest, and saw a group of people smiling and smiling and beating horses, and the leader immediately carried a deer, which was the sika deer that Bushman shot. This friend of the bushman only stared at the deer, and did not pay attention to the comers, and he was also used to being domineering, so he rode over and snatched the deer. The person who came was happy that he had picked up a deer for nothing, and he didn't notice that he was robbed. Furious, the whip in his hand came down, and the doorman was whipped open by the whip, and fell from his horse to the ground, and the other whips on the other side rained down, and the deer could not take care of it. Guan Fu and the others also rushed over at this time, and when they saw the other party's dress, they gasped in their hearts, and the people on the other side were neatly dressed, and the first thing they saw was their weapons, bows and arrows, swords, and sabers were well-made, and the horses were all war horses, who could ride war horses? More than a dozen people on the other side were all sturdy young men in their twenties, well-dressed, and they were all the most fashionable cuts, although they were dressed as civilians, he could see at a glance that the other party was obviously the most elite military cavalry in the capital Chang'an, and the emperor's attendants. Their friend Wei Qing was arrested by the eldest princess, and they broke into the princess's mansion with Wu Qilang and rescued Wei Qing. The bushman shouted: "Stop!" jumped off the horse, the whip in his hand was swung out, snapping, a few crisp sounds, and everyone on the other side only felt that their palms were numb, and they couldn't help jumping backwards. I saw a strong man standing majestically on the spot, and when everyone was looking at him, the bushman had already possessed him and helped his doorman up, only to see that he was covered in blood and his face was sallow. The bushman handed him over to his friend, turned around slowly, stared at the face of the leader like a torch, and pretended not to know: "What do you call Your Excellency? I don't know how this brother of mine offended you?

These dozen or so young people are Wu Qi Lang, and the person at the head is the newly promoted Wu Cai Chang Gong Sun He, and the person who made the shot is Gongsun Ao. Their commander was the world-famous flying general Li Guang, who led his troops to fight and frightened the Huns, but he was a little indulgent and neglected to discipline his officers and soldiers, and this formed the lazy style of his officers and soldiers. Now that he is a guard captain and a guard for the Son of Heaven, he does not change his true colors. This group of Weiyang Palace martial horsemen took advantage of the rest today, came out to hunt, had a good time, and was about to go back, but they didn't expect to pick up a deer, they knew in their hearts that someone had just laid it, but, as a martial horse, not to mention a deer, it was a person, he picked it up, it was his. Unexpectedly, just got it, and before it was warm, it was snatched away, how could it not make his heart burn, and he would not be merciless. When the bushman and others appeared, his heart was furious, and he knew the bushman. Although Bush Fu has been dismissed, he is a former general after all, in the pacification of the Wu Chu Rebellion, he killed the enemy camp alone to cut the general and hold the flag, his body was wounded by dozens of wounds, and he was the idol of all the soldiers; He is a regular attendant of martial arts, relying on the identity of the attendant of the Son of Heaven, although he can show off his might in Chang'an and be domineering in front of the civilians, but in the face of powerful and heroic, he still beats the drum in his heart. Both sides are very jealous and know that the other is not easy to mess with. But now, someone else has come to the door, and he has to harden up. "You don't care who I am. This friend of yours stole my deer, and I taught him a lesson. ”

"Your Excellency said that this is your deer, I don't know what the evidence is?"

"The deer is in my hands, and it is mine. What credentials do you want?"

The bushman raised his head and hahadaxiao, turned around and walked to the deer, and pulled the arrow from the deer, "The bushman is not talented, and he dares to say that under my arrow, nothing can escape." Look at it!" was a red word "pour" on the shaft of the arrow.

Gongsun Ao was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do. Just when the tense fierce battle was about to break out, a tall young man behind Gongsun He clasped his fists and said: "It turned out to be the world-famous General Guan! We will bear all the expenses of your friends!" A few words can be said to immediately ease the tense atmosphere, he first put on a high hat for the bush, although the bushman has long been dismissed, but deep down in his heart is angry, he likes others to call him "general Guan", that is what he worked hard to get, he is worthy of the court, others call him General Guan, that means that the people recognize him as a husband; is willing to compensate, and faintly hints at the identity of himself and others. It can be said that a few words have given enough face to the husband, and also saved the face of his chief, all the problems are caused by the big guy of Wu Qilang, and the responsibility is naturally the big guy, as for what to do after going back, that's another story.

All eyes turned to the bushman. The young man's words made him unable to be hard, and when he came, although the situation was tense and the scene was chaotic, he also noticed that this young man was one of the few who did not beat anyone. If he said that he relied on the large number of people, took advantage of the chaos, and raised his hand to kill the other party, he was sure, but now, both sides have made their identities clear, and it is obviously the next step to make a move, and the other party is obviously prepared, several people have been in the outer circle, and the knife in their hands is tightly grasped, ready to fight. Weighing the severity, he didn't want to offend these young officers, so he got off the donkey and accepted the other party's daoqian and reparations. The matter was settled, but the knots on both sides were settled.

That young officer was Zhang Da. Among the officers, he is very popular, and he is the best at communicating with people, and he has dealings with all kinds of people in Chang'an.

Later, the people of the bush man kept fighting with the soldiers of Chang'an, although the guard captain Li Guang and he were old friends, both were generals during the Wu Chu Rebellion, and they sold his face very much and restrained their subordinates; Dou Ying also covered the sky with one hand in Chang'an, so the two sides did not get into a very stiff fight, but everyone understood that sooner or later everyone would turn their faces. Therefore, the bushman pays great attention to the lower-level officers like Zhang Da, which is the heart of the old man, and Zhang Da and the bushman become friends after coming and going. Zhang Da's thoughts, as a person, the bushman also knows. He thought that Zhang Da was the best candidate for the envoy.

Seeing that no one dared to accept the edict for a few days, the emperor was on fire, Dou Ying was anxious, and the bushman found Zhang Dajia in private.

The bushman encouraged Zhang Da and said, "Brother, don't you always want to make meritorious contributions to the frontier and serve in foreign lands? Now the opportunity has come! Why haven't you moved?"

Zhang Da smiled bitterly: "In the battle, as long as you are not afraid of death, bravely rush to kill, and add a little luck! I'm not saying that your brother relies on luck." On the battlefield, you at least know where to charge, where to kill, where to shoot arrows, and who to slash at. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. There's no focus on it!"

The bushman smiled slightly and said, "Brother is a smart man, why can't he understand the truth?"

"Please General Mingjiao!"

"My Han is ready to attack the Huns! It's just a matter of time. When is the time ripe and when is the time to attack. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the Da Yue clan can be found or not, and whether the Da Yue clan is willing to form an alliance or not! The important thing is that through the envoys, the situation of the Xiongnu can be detected, and even if the Xiongnu are captured, it doesn't matter if our envoys are detained by the Xiongnu. The mission is to show your courage and your loyalty to the emperor and the Son of Heaven! It doesn't matter if you succeed or not. ”

Only then did Zhang Da unveil the list of heroes, make trouble with the Huns, break into the Western Regions, and make immortal achievements.

Exactly: Youyouxiongguan has stood for thousands of years, and the yellow sand has flowed for eternity;

The hero is out of the customs and the wind and smoke, and the eloquence is roughly written by the Han Dynasty.
