Jishishui is the Tarim River in later generations, the largest river in the Western Regions at this time, its basin is spread all over the north and south roads, the river channel is wider than that of later generations, and the vegetation is lush and green.This is the southern boundary of the country of Qiuzi, and across the river to the south, there is the vast Taklamakan and the desert sea.In mid-March, when the snow and ice had completely melted, flocks of wild geese flew back from the south in an arrow-like pattern, but one of them suddenly screamed and fell straight down, slamming down on the riverbank.On the riverbank, Liu Yaoguang still maintained the posture of opening the bow, and when he saw that he had hit something, he couldn't help but whistle.There are more animals on the edge of the desert than most people think, because they are concentrated in places where there is water, which is easier to obtain.After a while, Liu Yaoguang carried three or four wild geese and geese, plus the rabbits and yellow sheep caught by the Wusun riders, which was the food of the mission today.When they returned to the camp, they also met a nearby family of fishermen.The family was begging for a living by the river, and the parents were in ragged clothes, holding a bat-winged fishing net, and after sinking into the water, they pulled the nets together, and the fish they caught were all in it.Then he shook the ground, and the whitebait jumped wildly, and the naked sons and daughters of seven or eight years old leaned over to pick up the fish and stuffed them into the small baskets made of reeds.When they saw the Wusun people who suddenly appeared, these Qiuzi fishermen were stunned for a while, this place is two or three hundred miles away from Qiuci City, and the only connection between these people and Qiuci is that every year, the lord of the city comes to ask for dried fish and wild duck feathers.They didn't even know which King Qiuci was reigning today, let alone that Qiuzi had blatantly started a war against the Han Dynasty."
Princess, let us kill them all so that their whereabouts will not be revealed!"
The habits of the Wusun people are quite similar to those of the Huns, they are loyal to their friends, but cruel to their enemies, Ubu pulled out his knife and was about to step forward, slaughter the old and young of this family, and leave it in the reeds to feed the tigers, but Liu Yaoguang stopped him."
King Qiuzi and the city lord who sent troops to attack Luntai deserve to die, what are their crimes?
We were dozens of miles away before nightfall, and the family would never go that far in this life, and if the fish was taken away, no one had to be killed. ”She threw all the gold away, and wanted to leave a short dagger in exchange, but seeing that the short dagger was in the Wusun style, if a pursuer came to find it, this family was afraid that it would suffer, so she frowned and put it away."
Forget it, you just want to be me, a very unreasonable female bandit!"
They took their belongings and rode their horses upstream against the river, which was the new road that Ren Hong had found for the mission.On that day, near Luntai City, Ren Hong made it clear to Yaoguang: "Princess Yaoguang, the situation has changed, go east to the canal plow, take the road from Beihe to Loulan, it is no longer passable, the Huns sent a horse to intercept it along the way, and went only to throw themselves into the net."
But we still have a way to go!
”Liu Yaoguang remembers that Ren Hong's hand was on the sand at that time, drawing a map of the Western Regions that she had never seen at a glance: "Before I came, I carefully studied the route, and went southwest from Luntai, along the stream, and you could reach Jishishui. ”"There is a tributary of Jishishui, called the Humi River and the Keriya River, which comes from the Kunlun Glacier, from south to north, across the desert, and flows into Jishishui south of Qiuzi."
Along the Humi River, there is a shortcut that can reach the South Road from the North Road of the Western Regions, called the Humi Guizi Road."
This is not a path that no one knows, but a smooth road that can walk a large army, through which Qiuzi will infiltrate his influence into the Southern Western Regions.At that time, Li Guangli and Dawan also passed through Humi, that is, after this road, he brought Lai Dan, the prince of Humi, who was a hostage in Qiuzi Kingdom, to Chang'an.Fu Jiezi went to Dawan back then, and he also took the mission once when he went, and Lu Jiuyu especially remembered this road."
Although the road is far away, more than 1,000 miles, and it takes 15 days to reach Humi, most of the states in the Southern Western Regions have already been attached to the Han Dynasty, and it is safer than taking the risk of plowing from the canal to Loulan."
Liu Yaoguang bowed: "I said, after Qiuzi, whether to stop or stay, everything is up to you, Ren Jun said that it is safe to take this road, then take this road!"
”She gently touched the small scar on her arm and reminded herself not to forget the lesson: "In fact, before entering the turtle, you should be as good as you flow." ”This matter was settled, but the envoys were tired and tired, the food was about to run out, and the horses were much less, so Ren Hong proposed that he should first go to the Jishishui coast, attack a few Qiuzi villages, and seize horses, camels, and grain!
When Liu Yaoguang and the others returned to the camp, Ren Hong, who had taken the Han envoys to attack the village of Qiuci, had just returned, and had snatched three camels and two horses.This is the fifth village they have robbed along the Tarim River, Yaoguang glanced at the swords of the officials, but they were not bloody, and he didn't know how Ren Hong managed to be bloodless.As soon as the two sides met, there was enough food, and the number of camels and horses was almost enough for everyone to have a means of transportation, and without further ado, they set out for the mouth of the Humi River, which was not far to the west.The Wusun people went to prepare, but Ren Hong stopped Liu Yaoguang alone: "Princess Yaoguang, I have something to say to you!"
”Ren Hong originally wanted to dig into the reeds to talk closely, but when he thought of the Xinjiang tiger he met near Lop Nur, he stopped his feet and talked to Yaoguang under a poplar tree."
Princess Yaoguang, you said earlier that you owe the Han Mission a favor?"
Liu Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Ren Jun is still afraid that I won't be able to break my promise?"
My mother taught me that a horse can't chase a horse without a word, and a horse can't catch up with a word.Although Yaoguang is not a man, he also does what he says!
As long as you have a life, as long as Yaoguang is within his ability, he will definitely give up!
”Ren Hong breathed a sigh of relief, Yaoguang was a crucial part of his plan: "Then now, I have a bold idea to solve the difficulties of Luntai and Iron Gate, but I need the help of the princess, can the princess help me?"
”After Ren Hong finished his plan, Liu Yaoguang was a little stunned, looked Ren Hong up and down, and said with a smile after a long time: "Ren Jun, Ren Jun, I misjudged you." ”"What do you mean by that?"
Liu Yaoguang clapped his hands and smiled: "I thought Ren Jun was a steady person, but now I look at it, you are also a madman." ”"Crazy?"
Liu Yaoguang looked at him: "In such a critical situation, it's too late for others to hide, anyway, as long as the main mission is completed, who can blame you?"
But Ren Jun has to take the initiative to take over this great responsibility!
How difficult it is to overtake Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, has Ren Jun considered the consequences of failure?
”"The consequences?"
Ren Hong shook his head: "There is no consequence, if it fails, but it will be late to go to Yumen, I will be punished by one, and I will not be guilty to death." ”He clenched his fists, different from usual, at this moment, Ren Hong's heart did not waver: "But if it can be done, the thousands of robes of the iron gate of Luntai can survive!"
And the operation of the Han in the Western Regions does not have to stop in the middle of the road!
”Liu Yaoguang was in awe: "That is the case, then Yaoguang is willing to help Ren Jun and take you to Wusun Xiadu, but there are two things, please let Ren Jun explain it clearly." ”"First, it doesn't hurt for me to go back, just a princess, and I will be counted by the dignitaries in the country.But my brother can't, he is a prince, if the mission is not reached, it will make the whole Wusun laugh at him for being a cowardly and cowardly person, affecting the inheritance clan when he becomes an adult. ”"Princess, don't worry."
Ren Hongdao: "The team will be divided into two, going south and north, going hand in hand.I will let the most powerful subordinates escort the prince of Wannian to Shanshan, and the princess can also send most of the horsemen, after all, what you and I have to do, fewer people will be faster. ”Liu Yaoguang bowed his head: "Second, what is the benefit of this matter to Wusun, you must know that there are not only Qiuzi on the other side, but also the Huns!"
”She explained, "I'm not trying to bargain with Ren Jun, but I don't know, are you sure you can convince Kunmi?"
The situation in Wusun is complicated, and there are many pro-Huns, but it is not something that my mother and I can do with a word. ”Ren Hong had already thought about it: "This matter has the following six benefits for Wusun, one of which is "Ren Jun has the bottom in his heart, so you don't need to talk to me in detail." ”Liu Yaoguang stopped Ren Hong's words: "Yaoguang is an expert in opening a bow and making a sword, and he can also command the cavalry to outflank the siege, but those things like the general trend and national fortune, I am not smart enough to understand, and when I get to Wusun, Ren Jun will talk to Kunmi, Yaoguang maybe" She said with a smile: "I can do the translation for you." ”After the two negotiated, when Ren Hong turned around to leave, Liu Yaoguang called him again."
Renjun!""
I'm doing this not only for the benefit of Wusun, but also to make up for the trouble I have caused to the mission, and to repay you a favor."
When Ren Hong turned around, he found that Liu Yaoguang's eyes were also full of madness and excitement: "It's also because Yaoguang likes Ren Jun's strategy." ”"Since the country of Qiuzi dares to provoke the Wusun wolf, let it be buried in the wolf's belly!""
What did you say, Ren Jun?
You don't go south with us, but you go north to Wusun?
”When Ren Hong got the most critical part of Yaoguang's plan, he announced his bold plan to his subordinates.Han Gandang and the others originally thought that Ren Hong had decided to focus on protecting the Wusun delegation to Yumen, and gave up the robes trapped by the Xiongnu, which was quite discouraged and unwilling.Sima Shu said angrily that he was going back to the ditch plow, but was dragged here by Ren Hong, and he was very surprised at the moment, and it was difficult to digest for a while.Ren Hong smiled: "Don't you understand?
You can only take care of Prince Wusun, take a long detour, and arrive at Shanshan, and as for the difficulties of the wheels, canals, and plows, and iron gates, you will leave them to me to solve!
”"What exactly is Ren Jun going to do?"
Among the people, Zhao Han'er was the most calm and asked."
What to do?
Come, come, let me tell you. ”With Ren Hong's greeting, all the officials gathered around, looking fixedly at the young confessor who was held by the stars and stars, and today he seemed to have a different kind of brilliance."
It's actually quite simple."

Ren Hong still talks and laughs, in Yaoguang's view, this matter is like coercing Mount Tai to surpass Beihai, and in his words, it is as easy as breaking branches for the elderly."
I intend to" "One person destroys one country!"
