Yi Xianghan is indeed very expensive, in the past year, he served the Loulan people, and built a new spacious dock courtyard in Loulan City, but it is not a palace room for himself to enjoy, but a post station for Han envoys to rest.It is said that as long as the officials need it, they can even help recruit prostitutes.It's a pity that Ren Hong has recruited once in Qiuzi City, and this will not be needed."
Ren Jun, is the water hot enough?"
Lu Jiuyu was very attentive, took the initiative to run errands for Ren Hong, and poured boiling water into the wooden basin.Looking at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, Ren Hong knew that Lao Lu must be the credit for Han Dare to go to Wusun and Luntai with him."
You found the Sogdians for me in the city of Qiuci, and we know that the king of Qiuci colluded with the Huns, and I will never forget when I make contributions to the subordinate country" "Thank you Renjun!"
”"Okay, okay, don't pour, ouch, hot, hot!"
Lu Jiuyu was happy, and the boiling water poured too much, which made Ren Hong grin.After Lu Jiuyu retreated, Ren Hong tentatively stretched his feet into the scalding water, thinking about Yi Xianghan's request today."
Yi Xianghan would rather hand over the military and diplomatic power of Loulan to the Han than go back to be a courtier of King Shanshan."
Although Ren Hong did not agree on the spot, this attitude is worth encouraging.From the vanguard of robbing and killing the Han envoys to the foreign princes who surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Loulan has become more and more closely connected with the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and has almost integrated with Dunhuang.Finally, Shanshan County was set up in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was directly managed by officials sent by the central government, which was a historical process.And then there was no then.In the Tang Dynasty, Loulan City was diverted by the Peacock River, became a dead land, and was completely abandoned.However, the countyization of Loulan is also the epitome of the unification of the Western Regions in the Central Plains, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty, the four towns of Qiuci and Xizhou were prosperous and Han and Hu were integrated, which was no different from the cities of the Central Plains.In order to get the Tang Dynasty green card, a large number of real self-stemming Tang Dynasty emerged one after another, and during the Anshi Rebellion, they were enthusiastic to work for the Tang Dynasty and died on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty.After more than a thousand years, the history of the Western Regions took a completely different path, and the traces left here by the Han and Tang dynasties faded little by little, leaving only the ancient city of He Fengsui held in the yellow sand, and the occasional rusted coins.Therefore, Ren Hong felt that he might as well advance this process, and he didn't have to wait until Loulan was about to be destroyed before tying the knot with the Central Plains, and within ten years, he would be able to do this."
When I return to Chang'an, I can report Yi Xianghan's attitude to the subject country.Step by step, first send a lieutenant to settle in Loulan, relying on Loulan's manpower to expand the tuntian on the side of Lop Nur. ”In the Western Regions, the upstream areas should be cautious, because the large amount of agricultural water will shrink or even cut off the flow of rivers, and the downstream estuaries do not have to worry so much.This is actually Sang Hongyang's strategy, he proposed to Tuntian in the east of Luntai, put the captain three to protect it, each map the terrain, Tongli ditch, and benefit the five grains.When there is surplus grain in the autumn harvest every year, a group of immigrants are sent to slowly expand the scale of the tuntian, build pavilion barriers, and connect them along the Peacock River.In this way, we can firmly control the Northern Western Regions Road."
Loulan, plus the canal plow, Luntai, and it Qian, are also stationed in the school captain, each of which belongs to a thousand soldiers and civilians in Tungu, and the Han Dynasty's version of the four towns of Anxi will become, protecting the northern road and preventing the Xiongnu from invading south."
With the shelter of the northern road, the southern road can be demilitarized, so in Ren Hong's plan, Shanshan is not a military base, but a "demonstration city of the Silk Road Economic Belt!"
”The next day, after leaving Loulan, the group rounded Lop Nur and headed east.Bailongdui is still difficult to walk, the saline-alkali ground is as hard as a stubborn stone, and there are almost no living plants to be seen, even if it is a desert boat camel, it will walk on all fours and bleed.What's even more uncomfortable is that Ren Hong can often see some new tombs along the way, which are buried in the Han soldiers who rushed to the canal plough to help.Fortunately, this time, no one of the envoys was kicked by horses and died accidentally.And when they out of the white dragon pile, the front of the Achike Valley is no longer deserted, the former abandoned unmanned beacons, re-settled in the Han army, each Sui five to ten people, raising horses and a few goats, but also outside the beacon planted land and vegetable gardens, with human and animal manure to fertilize the fields, while waiting to guard the Huns' rangers, while playing the role of a post station.The only thing to worry about is that it was the middle of June, and the valley was lush with grass and trees, and Ren Hong instructed everyone to tie their trouser legs firmly when they dismounted and walked, so as to prevent the ice grass insects from harming people again.They spent several days crossing the valley, arrived at Julucang, tomorrow will climb over the three ridges of sand, camping outside Julucang, idle to do, Zhao Han'er sat by the campfire, blowing a beard for everyone, the tune is a little lonely and sad.At this time, Lu Jiuyu found that beside the bonfire surrounded by the Wusun people, the female guard Aya, who was shot and wounded by the Huns when she was in Qiuzi City, but was saved by Zhao Han'er, always looked at the officials.After a long time, she stood up, strode towards Lu Jiuyu, and said a word to him.Lu Jiuyu was taken aback, his face turned pale and he stepped back, and only after half a sound did he realize that he was not talking about himself, and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.He crawled to Zhao Han'er, who was blowing a beard, and pointed at Aya and said, "She said, you are a strong warrior and good archery, so I want to give you a son!"
”"Huh?"
Zhao Han'er was stunned."
That's what it means, anyway."
Lu Jiuyu gloated, the Wusun woman's courtship method was so simple and rude.Zhao Han'er raised her head and looked at Aya, she was a typical Wusun female warrior, her hair was half shaved, and she still had a gold ring on her mouth, if Zhao Han'er was a real Hun person, she might love such a woman, but Zhao Han'er's aesthetics were different.He refused: "I have a crush." ”Aya didn't pull out a knife and slash at him in a rage, but only left with some hatred, but Han Gandang and the others surrounded him, gossiping at Zhao Han'er, who was always silent: "Gui Han, who is your crush?"
”"We don't know."
Ren Hong began to speculate: "Could it be that during the Shanshan period, I met the orchid?"
”Zhao Han'er was too lazy to deal with everyone at first, but in the end, he couldn't get rid of them, so the mystery was revealed."
What, Assistant Song's daughter!?"
Han Dangdang opened his mouth wide, and suddenly remembered that after the battle of Posui the year before last, several of them followed Ren Hong to send funeral money to the family of Song Wan and Song assistants who died under the sword of the Huns, and they did see a little woman in the Song family.The woman was petite, dressed in a coarse linen filial piety suit, and she cried so much that she whispered as she bowed down to them and thanked them.Han Dangdang was stunned, and his smile became ambiguous: "Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao, I didn't expect you to be such a person, no wonder you ran away every time you took a break when you broke the flint, and you actually went to blow your beard outside the courtyard of the Song family?"
Tell me where you two have been?
”Zhao Han'er's next sentence surprised him even more."
We've discussed the marriage.""
AhhIt's done so quickly!"
If it does, I'll still be here?"
Zhao Han'er silently put away her beard: "She doesn't dislike me, but her mother and brother spurn me as a Hu mongrel, I don't have much money, and I don't have good errands, so I don't look down on me." ”"So you came to the Western Regions to make a name for yourself so that you can go back and get married?
Zhao Han'er glanced at Han Dang."
Otherwise, why do you think I came to the Western Regions to eat sand?"
Han Dangdang muttered: "I thought you were the same as me, just angry." ”Ren Hong didn't care about the process, but he cared about the result: "Guihan, I remember that the daughter of Song Assistant's official is not too young, you have been in the Western Regions for a year and a half, and she is still waiting?"
Do you have a correspondence?
”Zhao Han'er said lightly: "I asked someone to go to the letter, and in the last reply, she said that her family urged her to marry" "Then what should I do?"
”Han dared to stand up suddenly, no wonder Zhao Han'er was so sad.Zhao Han'er smiled: "She said that she would keep filial piety for Song Assistants for three years, as soon as possible!"
”It seems that they are worrying blindly, and everyone is relieved.Zhao Han'er shot and killed many Qiuzi people when he was in Qiuci City, and even rescued Princess Yaoguang, and showed his skills in the pursuit battle.Ren Hong decided that when he made contributions to the subordinate country, let him take credit and Han Dangdang, which should be able to increase his rank by several levels, even if Zhao Han'er did not want to be an official, there would be many rewards.When they went out of the Jade Gate, even if the two of them had the merit of breaking the captive flint, they were just small officials, and the matter of returning and the accumulated merits were enough to become middle-level officers, which could be regarded as changing their fate.Ren Hong secretly made up his mind: "I have been in the Western Regions for more than a year, Han and Zhao have helped me too much, even if the court does not reward me much, I have to find a way to make them become Zhao Million and Han Million!"
”Thinking like this, Ren Hong announced a good news that made everyone cheer: "When we arrive in Dunhuang City, we will rest for three days, and those who live in Dunhuang can go home and have a look!"
”"I had a hard time crawling empty-handed, Fu Gong and three thousand soldiers carried the Wugang car, how did they climb over?"
The next day, Ren Hong struggled to climb to the top of the third sand dune in Sanlongsha, and felt more and more that it was a miracle.By the time they had passed through the Devil's Town and arrived at Elm Spring, a huge barrier had been erected called the Elm Spring Barrier, which was the headquarters of the "Great Waiter", and there was even a small bazaar next to it, where curly-haired and blue-eyed Sogdians gathered to wait for the monthly silk trade.Everything is so familiar, but there are also many changes, and the once-dead Silk Road has flourished again.Ren Hong also saw some of the envoys of the Western Regions states who had arrived before them stop here, waiting for Dunhuang County to allow them to enter the Yumen and go to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven.Ren Hong had a talisman in hand, so he didn't have to be so troublesome, so he directly changed the stagecoach and galloped along the repaired avenue in the direction of Yumen.The scorching sun is in the sky, the sky is cloudless, the Shule River is in the peak season, and the snow on the Altun Mountain in the extreme distance is exceptionally white against the blue sky.Between them is a large earthy mound, standing alone at the end of the world, the Jade Gate Pass."
Is this the Jade Gate Pass that my mother has in mind?"
Liu Yaoguang reined in the horse and looked at the Yumen Pass, this is obviously an ordinary pass, but for some reason, the closer you get to it, the more excited you are?
Ren Hong pointed to the envoys, who were originally talking and laughing, but for some reason, they looked at the Yumen Pass from afar, but suddenly began to cry, and said to Yaoguang: "Because the Yumen is the threshold of the Han Dynasty, I am cowardly in my hometown." ”From the day it was founded, as the western boundaries of the empire, Yumen and Yangguan were crowned with a meaning different from ordinary city barriers, and in the next two thousand years, people and artists will give it more connotations.And when Ren Hong handed over his talisman to Hou Chang, who had come to investigate, Hou Chang's dark face showed surprise, and his eyebrows were raised high."
Jun is Ren Hong's advisor?""
You know me?"
Ren Hong looked around, and when the guards of Yumen Pass heard these words, they also pricked up their ears and looked at them curiously.Hou Chang smiled: "Not only Yumen Pass, but also the entire Dunhuang County, who hasn't heard of the name of Ren Jun?"
Ren Jun destroys a country by himself, and he is a great man, and the three-year-old baby also knows it!
”Fame always spreads faster than footsteps, and the same was true of Fu Jiezi back then.After careful comparison, there was no problem with the runes, and the Marquis of Yumen, who was more than six hundred stones, also came out in person, solemnly bowed to Ren Hong, and invited him to enter the customs."

Keep your body straight, raise your head, don't embarrass the robes of the Western Regions."
Ren Hong instructed in a low voice, and the officials under his command all put away their stomachs and stepped into the pass with their heads held high.The hundreds of guards and flints of the Jade Gate stood on both sides with their spears, looking at everyone who passed by, with admiration and envy.admire their birth and death in the Western Regions, and envy them for returning with honor."
Drumming!"
With the order of the Marquis of Yumen, the sound of the golden drum sounded at the head of the city.Ren Hong remembered that when they went out of Yumen to Loulan more than a year ago, there were also drums beating at the Yumen Pass behind them.At that time, the drum sound was a little tragic, it was to send the robe Ze to the battle, the yellow sand was reckless, and they were likely to be gone and never returned.And now, the drum beat is passionate and cheerful, which is to welcome the return of the hero.Not only Ren Hong, but everyone in the mission is a hero!
They brought tens of thousands of miles of wind from the Western Regions to blow through the Yumen Pass!
In the evening, when Ren Hong returned to the Yumen post station from the banquet set up for him by the Marquis of Yumen, the officials all settled down and slept, but Liu Yaoguang stood in the courtyard, looking at the east wall with his hands in his hands.Seeing Ren Hong coming back, Princess Yaoguang greeted him: "Ren Jun come to see, there is a poem here." ”Ren Hong looked over and almost didn't laugh."
Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass.Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken!
”Isn't this the poem he wrote when he went out of the customs, why was it written on the wall of the jade gate?
Ren Hong remembered that this was originally written by a certain messenger "The sun is not conspicuous and there are many black clouds, and the moon cannot be seen by the wind and flying sand", because Fu Jiezi disliked it too much, so he ordered the husband to blow it."
Such heroic poems are no less than the military poems such as no clothes taught to me by my mother."
Liu Yaoguang praised on the side: "After I read it, I can't help but want to go out of the customs again and go to the Western Regions to do a career." ”"Indeed, this poem should inspire all those who come here and hesitate, but there is something missing."
Ren Hong called the husband: "The husband, please give me a pen." ”Only then did Ren Hong stay at the pass, so he didn't know that he was Ren Hong, and after presenting the pen and ink, he saw that Ren Hong was going to write on the wall, and hurriedly stopped: "Official, you can't do it!"
This is the Captain of Yumen, the book of the Marquis Fu of Yiyang" Ren Hong was stunned, what?
The old man is even more shameless than himself, and he is an impostor!?"
The Marquis of Yiyang said that Ren Hong did it when he was with the army, and the person who told him had already returned, so he lived in the post station" This is about the same."
It's okay, I'm Ren Hong."
Ren Hong laughed, held the pen, and added three words to it!
PS: None at night.
