The boss of the sun, Gan Yanshou stood in the sand, leading his horse with one hand and untying his belt with the other.Who let this damn Black Gobi not even have a stake to tie a horse?
As they rested, they either thrust their spears into the ground or, as he did, pinch them under the watchful eye of the horses' big eyelash thief eyes.In the middle of August, after recuperating their spirits in Mingze, they left Hanse with the Marquis of Xi'an, turned to the northwest, only one day's effort, the patches of verdant farmland in the Sene disappeared, and the poplars became less and less, and on the third day of the Sai, the Liangzhou cavalry crashed headlong into the majestic and vast Black Gobi.This is the real "Black Gobi", whether it is a flat beach or an undulating mountain, it is the same color: black.The entire Gobi seems to be painted with a layer of black paint, and when you raise your head, you can faintly see the huge mountains in the northeast rising and undulating, like the red mane of a galloping horse galloping for thousands of miles.If Qilian Mountain is like an icy and jade woman, then Beishan, which is called "Horsehair Mountain" by the Marquis of Xi'an on the map of the subject country, is a rough and bold Saibei man.But this magnificent scenery is very in line with the young man's imagination of the exotic land, so that Gan Yanshou watched it for a while after urinating, until the team history of the same team, Luo Yanshou, who broke his wrists with him and lost, called him."
Gan team rate, why are you so slow, could it be that you can't pee?"
Gan Yanshou hurriedly returned to the team and counted the number of people, they had to cross the Black Gobi within two days and arrive at the southern foot of the Horsehair Mountain, and the rest time was often very short.But for Gan Yanshou, this hard work is nothing, in his opinion, the front is dreams and fame, just like the Marquis of Xi'an, the young brocade wears Wu Hook, and thousands of miles to find the Marquis!
However, Luo Yanshou, a bearded soldier, always likes to discourage the enthusiasm of the young Gan Yannian, and he rubbed his feet with hot sand and said: "Not only what you think, but also beriberi, horse lice, hunger and thirst and diarrhea when you don't fight."
When a battle starts, it is lucky to die on the spot, but the injured have gangrene and mutilation, have you ever seen a white maggot wriggling in the wound of the robe?
I'm much more visible."
Ten, a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand cries of pain combined.After all, how to make yourself comfortable during the march, it is best to listen to Luo Yanshou.There is very little wood in the Black Gobi, and the recruits and horsemen carry their own dried cow dung to make fires, and crowd around the bonfires, except for those incomparably clear stars in the sky, they listen to Luo Yanshou and other veterans who have been recruited several times talk about the war.Luo Yanshou claimed to have participated in the war against the Xiongnu during the expedition and the years, but fortunately he did not follow Li Guangli, but coincided with Houmatong."
At that time, I was as big as the Gan team, and I also beheaded two Hulu and was promoted to the rank of tun chief."
Then what" Luo Yannian knew what Gan Yannian wanted to say: "Why is it that more than ten years have passed, but I can't even mix the team history?"
”He said helplessly: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I was proud when I got a reward, and I went in and out of the women's house in the county town, drinking wine, eating meat and playing six games every day."
After more than ten years, he has neither the Five Classics nor the talent for business, and the reward money that was originally intended to buy the land was spent, and there is no way out, Luo Yanshou participated in this war, not for fame, but for money.There are many people in their team who have the same idea, some of them are to save money for marrying a wife, and some people have wives and children, and they can't bear to live a hard life and want to fight again.On the contrary, there are very few people like Gan Yanshou who want to avenge their father and have the ambition of being a marquis."
Your father died in the hinterland of the Huns, presumably he killed a lot of Huns, why don't you see their descendants come to you for revenge?"
Luo Yanshou seems to have experienced a lot, and he is cynical about everything, and thinks that Gan Yanshou's revenge is simply ridiculous, but it is just an excuse for himself to cut off the head of the Huns for wealth and nobility, so angry that Gan Yanshou scolded him, and threatened to wait for a showdown with King Wen Even."
I am the warrior who decapitated it!"
When you fall asleep, in the twilight, the distant hills are far and near, and the strange rocks are abrupt, just like the legendary city that has died under a spell.When the army arrived at the foot of the Horsehair Mountain, there were more cyan hills on the Black Gobi, and the small lakes and marshes that passed by were covered with the footprints of wild beasts, and the half-dry small lakes and marshes were covered with the footprints of wild beasts, and wild antelopes and northern goats lived here, and they were frightened by the army and ran around.It's a pity that the big battle that Gan Yanshou was looking forward to didn't happen, the movement of four or five thousand horsemen out of the plug was too big, and I don't know how many there were behind, King Wen was like those panicked beasts, and immediately took his troops after noticing, driving cattle and sheep to the north."
This King Wen is really a coward, didn't King Youxian order him to defend Beishan?"
Gan Yanshou looked at the empty camp at the foot of the mountain, a little depressed, but Luo Yanshou laughed at him and said: "Fighting with the Huns is like hunting, Hu Lu is very smart, and he slipped away at the slightest breeze."
Ten times out of the army, can catch one is considered lucky, these Hun kings are not like the Han officials, they have the responsibility to defend the land, and if they are advantageous, they will retreat if they are unfavorable, and if they see that there are many of us, of course they have to leave, are they still waiting in place for you to cut off the head?
”The matter was not over, because the prince did not dare to go to Hanse, and sent an envoy to inform the Han army where the king of the plough was located, and hoped to make an appointment at the foot of the horsehair mountain, and soon after the arrival of the Han army, there was also a puff of smoke and dust in the distance, and there were more than a thousand horsemen.Tianshui Ququ Changzhang wanted to leave this qu without slackening, continued to fight hard, maintained a state of imminent battle, and even called the commanders and team leaders of the tun and said one thing to them: "The Marquis of Xi'an said, the plough and pollute the prince is likely to be a fraudulent surrender!"
”Gao Yaxu is really not a fraud.He was still dressed in a very Hun dress, with the exception of a bundle of hair on the top of his head, all but a shaved head, a gilded bronze crown decorated with feathers, two moustaches hanging from his round face, and a white Wusun Xiji horse, which was also decorated with small gold ornaments.But the look in the apricot eyes is no longer as young and flamboyant as when the soldiers came to Dunhuang four years ago, and their faces are full of wrinkles sharpened by life.In the past, he was the prince of ploughing, the owner of 34 springs in the Beishan area, sitting on tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and a big buyer of smuggled goods by Dunhuang profiteers.But now, it is just under the account of King Wen Even, a small thousand cavalry commanders, all because of the injustice of King Youxian!
His father died in Zhangye, and instead of compensating him, King Youxian took advantage of the danger to seize his family's territory and pasture, allowing his cronies to occupy the land.Gao Yaxu secretly hated in his heart, this time the main force of the right went west to attack Wusun, Wen Even's King was stationed in Beishan on the order of the Right Xian King, and investigated the movements of the Han army in Hexi.Whether to flee in embarrassment with King Wen Even, or to follow the countless Hun kings to defect to the Han Dynasty, and mix with the identity of Hu Hou or even Hu Wang, there is no need to choose at all.In Han Chinese words, it is the right virtuous king who is unkind first, and Hugh blames him for his injustice and injustice!
Gao Yaxu sent an envoy to communicate with Kong Zhang, the governor of Dunhuang, and Kong Zhang was very positive about this matter, but it was a pity that the Han army that went out of the fortress this time was led by Xi'an Hou Renhong, not Kong Zhang, who Gao Yaxu trusted more.In addition, King Wen Puppet learned in advance that the news had fled, and the two sides lost the friendship of attacking the common enemy, so they stopped at this moment only more than ten miles apart, watched each other, and only sent translators to communicate.Gao Yaxu chose to surrender here instead of Hanse, he had his own plans, he had heard that some Xiongnu kings surrendered, separated from their own people, and were taken to Han, and have not been heard from since, if possible, he still hopes to keep his own arms, and make some contributions in this Han-Hun war, and then stay in the North Mountain of Mingze, Han Qiang surrendered to Han, and the Xiongnu Fuqiang waited for the opportunity to rebel.Therefore, he was reluctant to go to the front of the Han army alone, hoping that the Marquis of Xi'an, who had moved the Western Regions a few years ago, could send an envoy to let him worship casually to complete the ceremony, but Ren Hong insisted that Gao Yaxu come to visit.The two sides froze for a while, until Chen Pengzu, the Dunhuang Lieutenant who had previously contacted Gao Yaxu for Kong Zhang, came to lobby: "The dignity of the Marquis of Xi'an is no less than that of Huo Hussar in the past, whether the prince can be accepted by the Han Dynasty or not, it is all up to him to have the final say, the princes are not as good as the evil king, if you dare not go, do you still want the Marquis of Xi'an to come alone?"
Gao Yaxu thought about it, and it was indeed the case, and it was best to reluctantly take a few attachés to the front of the Han army.Coming on, is the Han army officials by the black Gobi sun tanned face, thousands of pairs of eyes are fixed on him, and into the Han army array, there is no way back, even more unbearable Gao Yaxu, those standing on both sides of the armor, Xuanjia also exudes the same reflection as the black Gobi, stabbing Gao Yaxu's eyes pain, when Gao Yaxu passed, they suddenly set up a halberd to block the way, so that Gao Yaxu was frightened."
Please dismount the prince."
Chen Pengzu made a gesture of invitation and took the lead in leading the way, while Gao Yaxu's entourage was stopped from this, and he could only stiffen his head, bend down slightly, and pass through the halberd forest.Although it was only a few dozen steps, it was a shameful road that Gao Yaxu had never experienced, and at this moment, not to mention regretting the surrender, he was even more annoyed that he shouldn't have come in person.The more humiliating was still behind, he was stopped by a tall and strong, heavily armored man with thick hair, the hands groped around him roughly, took away the sword and sharp things, and even the wolf teeth hanging around his neck did not let go, Gao Yaxu really couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, and said loudly in the Hun dialect: "Could it be that the prince of the Han Dynasty treats the strong man who surrenders to Cheng like this?"
Xi'an Hou Renhong rode on a jujube red mare, surrounded by armor, majestic, condescendingly looking at the somewhat embarrassed Gao Yaxu, after listening to Zhao Han'er's translation, he said: "Friends come to have good wine, enemies come with sharp swords, plough the prince, are you really willing to surrender?"
”When the translator asked him, Gao Yaxu knelt down on one knee, and he also let go, untied his left beard to expose his chest, and patted his hand on it: "I am sincere, from now on, my Gao Yaxu will be the Guiyi Hu Chang of the Han Dynasty!"
”Ren Hong said with a smile: "Very good, it's just that Ben Hou has a rule, before he surrenders, he has to ask you three questions." ”Gao Yaxu raised his head: "Please ask Xi'an Hou!"
”Ren Hong said slowly: "First, have you ever killed a Han person?"
and "How many have you killed?"
”"Why do you want to kill?"
Zhao Han'er touched the bowstring with one hand, and asked Gao Yaxu so on his lips, but saw that the prince was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head is a Hun dialect, as if he wanted to explain something, but Zhao Han'er didn't help him translate this time, and flew straight over and kicked Gao Yaxu on the ground.On the other side, Gan Yanshou and the others, who had been holding their bows and knives tightly, finally received the order he had been waiting for for a long time.Qu Changzhang was about to leave Pegasus, pointed to the Huns ten miles away on the opposite side and ordered: "Plough the prince is a fraud!"
And his subordinates want to escape, Xi'an Hou has an order, the whole army attacked, beheaded those who wanted to die, and beheaded them!
