In the third year of Yuanfeng, one day in the autumn and July of 78 BC, the "flea food" had just passed.The dawn in the northwest is dry and cold, the outline of the Qilian Mountains is clear, the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions is looming, and the cantonment troops in the distance come from bursts of dog barking, this is the early morning of the Hanging Spring.Hanging Spring is a post station on the border of the Han Empire, located in Xiaogu County, Dunhuang County, surrounded by either the Gobi wasteland, or the Shawo Mountains, within a radius of dozens of miles, there is only this place to rest.Whether it is the Hu merchants who went to the east or the Han envoys who came from the west, they all had to rest here, let the horses drink fresh water, and get some food to satisfy their hunger.It's just that the officials and apprentices in the hanging spring are suffering, and they must sleep at night and serve carefully.Early in the morning, Ren Hong was woken up and came out to entertain visitors."
As a hanging spring and a small official, he is not high, but he has to take care of everything."
Ren Hong suppressed the desire to yawn, knelt behind the desk, spread out the pen and ink, and squinted at the two handfuls presented to him, that is, the Han Dynasty letter of introduction and the pass.The decree of the Han Dynasty stipulates that the identity, number of people, and accommodation expenses of all the people who come and go must be recorded in each place, which is the rule that has not changed for 20 years since the establishment of the Hanging Spring.Ren Hong silently muttered in his heart: "So two thousand years later, so many Han Jane will be found in the Hanging Spring Ruins, there are more than 10,000 pieces" Before coming to this world inexplicably, he had specially driven to the Gobi Desert to look for the "Hanging Spring Ruins", but he never dreamed that his fate would be closely linked to this post station two thousand years ago.It's all to blame for that bizarre sandstorm, which made a promising 21st century history student, as soon as he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, he became a young man named "Ren Hong" in the Han Dynasty After confirming that it was not a prank and a variety show, he could only start his life in the Han Dynasty as "Ren Hong".Half a year has passed, Ren Hong has adapted well, from a white body, mixed with a hanging spring, receiving a salary, food and clothing, and began to think about the future way out: how to legally leave this remote post and go to a broader world?"
It's true, I didn't wear it well, and I actually came to the unpopular Zhaoxuan Zhongxing" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been dead for a long time, and the "traverser" Wang Mang should not have been born yet.This year is the third year of Yuanfeng and the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty.Of course, this emperor, who is younger than Ren Hong, is still alive, and he has no nickname, and no one dares to call him by his name.Whenever it is mentioned, it must be arched to the east, and it is called "Imajo".Or according to the rules of the Han people, they are called "county officials".Ren Hong's understanding of this unpopular era is only scratching, and he can only desperately grasp every piece of information in his memory: those flashing names in the annals: Huo Guang, Su Wu, and Liu Aiji, they can't be counted on for the time being.Those heroes who raised the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, Fu Jiezi, Chang Hui, and Princess Xie Wu, should have passed by Hanging Springs, but what time is it?
Therefore, whenever a traveler passes by, Ren Hong often takes advantage of his position to inquire about information and absorb useful information.And the two copies of the talisman in front of him attracted Ren Hong's attention!"
Su Yannian, the commander of the central Dunhuang Governor, Buguang Houguan, and the chief of the tun" and "Zhang Pengzu, the commander of the central Dunhuang Prefecture", have never heard of it, and like this Ren Hong, they are all nameless little people in the annals of history.Ren Hong's eyes glanced ahead, the owner of the talisman, who was sitting in the hall at the moment, drinking the cool rice wine that had just been served.Su Yannian, the military official sitting on the left side, wearing armor and thick beard, had a rough voice and spoke loudly, and every word clearly reached Ren Hong's ears.As for Zhang Pengzu, he was the ugly-looking taxi in an official robe opposite him, with a three-pronged beard, who always liked to shake his head, as if he didn't think anything of it.What made Ren Hong pay attention to it was the name that appeared many times in this one-to-one conversation: "Fu Jiezi!"
”Ren Hong was a little excited, but he still lowered his head and pretended to register seriously, but his ears were pricked up, listening carefully to every word of the traveler.He could see that he was wearing a yellowed linen shirt with a little ink on his cuffs, his wrists were white, and his palms were not calloused, which meant that he was not productive.Under the wave of the rabbit brush, on the pale yellow poplar wood slips, a simple Han Li is taking shape only a moment later, things are basically understood, Su and Zhang are ordered by the central governor of Dunhuang to go to the west of the Yumen Pass to welcome the return of the imperial court envoy Fu Jiezi, the rooster crows, and rushes for several hours.Right now, they are arguing, whether to take a sip of wine and leave, or leave after eating "Hard work pays off, it's finally here" Ren Hong's hand paused, pinched the pen and raised it for a while, and actually let out a sigh: "Brother Banchao, I'm sorry!"
”So, when the two began to talk about Fu Jiezi's heroic deeds in Qiuzi, Ren Hong suddenly raised his hand and slapped the brush on the desk!"
Smack!"
Like a thunderclap!
Su and Zhang looked back in amazement, and just saw a young official get up, throw a pen and shout angrily: "The big husband has no other ambitions, and he should still follow Zhang Qian and Fu Jiezi for meritorious service in a foreign land, and An Neng has been writing for a long time!?"
”"I just heard the two of them talk about Fu Jiezi's killing of the Hun envoys in Qiuzi, which strengthened his courage for a while, so he made this statement and disturbed the officials."
Ren Hong got up and apologized to the two of them pretendically, he had just snatched Ban Chao's famous words a hundred years later.Su Yannian, a military official with a thick beard stained with wine, had a straightforward temperament, didn't think he was angry, and laughed with his palms: "It's okay, it's okay, little offspring, you just have a word, and you also have strong ambitions!"
When the float is white!
Why don't you come and drink together?
”Zhang Pengzu squinted at Ren Hong, but saw that he was eighteen or nineteen years old, eight feet tall, wearing a soap-colored curtain on his head, beardless, and his face was not dark.is so young, he actually spoke wildly, and Zhang Pengzu is also an official of the "Affair Pen Yanjian", and the boss was immediately unhappy, so he ridiculed Ren Hongdao: "Meritorious service in a foreign land?
Little son, hairless on his mouth, but he is not ashamed to speak, how do you know the danger of the Western Regions?
”"Let's just say that to the west of Yumen, there are white dragon piles, three ridges of sand, thousands of miles of quicksand, extremely sinister, people who go in, can come out alive only twelve!
Have you ever been?
”"No, I didn't."
Ren Hong thought in his heart: "Of course I've been there, there is Yadan Devil City over there, the ticket is 80 yuan per person" Once upon a time, either as a student, following the tutor's research, or traveling by himself, he almost traveled all over the scenic spots in the Western Regions.Of course, this can't be said, Ren Hong had no choice but to respond: "However, Dunhuang in the Gobi Desert also has it, but it's not that big."
I grew up in Sri Lanka, I was used to the climate, I rode a camel, I knew how to find water, how to shelter from the sandstorms. ”"What's more, I heard that Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, is from Hanzhong County, and Fu Jiezi is from Beidi County, and the climate is completely different from that of the Western Regions.They can all go to the quicksand desert, as a disciple of Biansai, if it is really my turn to be the pioneer of the country, how dare Ren Hong lag behind others?
”Zhang Pengzu frowned: "Even if you pass the White Dragon Pile, there are also the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, each of them speaks differently from the Central Plains, and when ordinary people go, they just open their mouths and don't even get a meal!"
What do you do?
”Ren Hong smiled and said, "Actually, I can speak a little Western Regions Hu." ”This time it was Zhang Pengzu's turn to be surprised: "Such awkward nonsense, you have to be a translator from a subject country, and you can do it too?"
”Ren Hong explained: "In the summer, there was a Hu merchant in the Western Regions who stayed in Hanging Spring for two months for some reason, so I asked him to teach me Loulan dialect.Zhang Pengzu actually only heard about the Western Regions, and seeing that he couldn't stump Ren Hong, he was a little embarrassed for a while, so he had to ask Su Yannian for help: "Brother Su, you went to Luntai Tunshu back then, come and talk about it!"
”"If you want me to say," Su Yannian took a sip of wine and added: "Actually, the most troublesome thing in the Western Regions right now is not the wind and sand, nor the thirty-six countries. ”He put the wine cup down, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Huns!"
”"It has been eleven years since Emperor Xiaowu dismissed Luntai Tuntian!"
During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army often used troops in the Western Regions, from Dunhuang to Lop Nur in the west, often set up pavilions, and the wheel platform and canal plough all had hundreds of field soldiers.Su Yannian is a veteran who has worked in Luntai Tun, and when he talks about this past, he feels a lot of emotion.Ren Hong knew that in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people in Kwantung were boiling, but the old emperor just went his own way, and he was bent on destroying the Xiongnu in his lifetime.The Xiongnu, as a hundred barbarian powers, are thousands of miles from east to west, and they cannot be eliminated in one or two wars, not to mention that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the wrong general, and the war against the Xiongnu was repeatedly defeated, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, and he almost lost all the victories of Wei and Huo in the early years.The war was not smooth, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's temperament became more and more violent, always suspecting that someone was going to curse him, and killed three prime ministers in a row, and his two daughters were also put to death in prison, and everyone in the world was in danger.It wasn't until after the witch curse that the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sobered up a little, and in his later years, he issued a Luntai edict, rested with the people, and suspended the extraterritorial expansion of the already boiling Dading, which finally cooled down a little.However, the Han Dynasty went to the other extreme, and the Han Dynasty's garrisons in the Western Regions were all withdrawn, giving up the operation of the Western Regions, giving the Xiongnu the opportunity to return there."
In the past eleven years, the Han soldiers have never left Yumen in the west."
As a soldier, Su Yannian was indignant about this: "On the contrary, it is the Huns, galloping in the Western Regions."
We often go to Yumen Pass, and listen to the waiting officials there say that from Loulan to Dawan, the envoys alone are extremely majestic, and in every country, the kings of the city-states are all groveling, and they even instruct the countries to rob and kill the Han envoys, so that the Han will be humiliated!
”"As far as I know, in three years, there have been three!"
Zhang Pengzu took over and described the frequent comings of Han envoys who were intercepted and killed by the city-states of the Western Regions."
If it weren't for this, Fu Gong angrily reprimanded his king in Loulan, and killed the Hun envoys in Qiuzi, he would not be so angry, and now from Yumen to Dunhuang, Fu Gong's move is being praised!""
There are so many difficulties for the envoys of the festival, let alone ordinary pedestrians and merchants?
less secure. ”After that, Zhang Pengzu glared at Ren Hong and said, "Son, do you dare to say that you will go to a foreign land to gain fame?"
”Ren Hong didn't refute this time, he got up silently and handed over the two runes to Su and Zhang."
The biography of the two officials has been registered.""
Hey, haven't you been chatting with us all the time?
The work at hand has not been pulled down. ”Zhang Pengzu paced to the front of the case to take a look, but saw that on the poplar wood cut Jane, their handwriting had indeed been copied, and the handwriting of the official script was beautiful, which was a rare dual-purpose effort.Ren Hong said: "Although I like to talk with past businessmen and travelers, I will not delay in getting down to business. ”He no longer cared about Zhang Pengzu's sarcastic remarks, and got up to clean up the pen and inkstone, but he heard Su Yannian beat the case with his fist, and said hatefully: "Alas, if the Marquis of Changping and the champion Hou are still here, how can they make Hu Lu rampant!"
”The Marquis of Changping is Wei Qing, the champion Hou is Huo Quai, and the famous generals of the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have passed away for many years.Ren Hong had already walked to the door, and after hearing the words, he turned around and said: "I secretly thought that although Wei and Huo didn't, the pioneering and hollowing out of the Han family will never stop here, and every generation, there will be new Wei, Huo, and Zhang Qian!"
”"The second gentleman will treat him, the kid dares to say that the day when the Han army returns to the Western Regions and expells the Xiongnu is not far away!"
Su and Zhang were a little surprised, but before they had time to savor these two sentences, Ren Hong said: "By the way, the food in Hanging Springs is the best in the nine places in Dunhuang, Su Jun and Zhang Jun might as well eat and leave." ”After that, he took his leave.Zhang Pengzu reacted, but he still didn't scare Ren Hong, so he chased to the door and shouted: "The Han army will return to the Western Regions soon?"
If it is true as you say, I will give you a good horse for nothing!

”But Ren Hong did not come back.As for Su Yannian, he was still sitting in front of the desk, repeating Ren Hong's words, he had already remembered the bold words of this Hanging Spring official, as well as the prophecy that the Great Han would soon return to the Western Regions.Su Yannian said secretly: "When I get to Yumen Pass and see Fu Gong again, I have to tell him about today!"
”What the two didn't know was that when Ren Hongcai walked out of the house, he showed a calculated smile: "Some words are better to say them in person." ”"But there are some words that are better told through the mouths of others!"
