Chapter 111 Section 20

When we entered Wusun territory from the army from Beidao, the Wusun people, men, women and children, cheered and followed our horses. Those who brought food delivered food, and those who brought water delivered water, just like the book that reads "The rice pot and pulp welcome the king's teacher." "Same.Gan Yanshou was obviously also moved, and turned his head to me and said: "My lord, maybe what you said is right. Even if it is for their well-being, we should fight this battle. Seeing their anger, I am very sad now." I am confident." I was very pleased that he could say such words of support for me. I smiled and said, "Brother Jun Kuang, I am not as noble as you. To be honest, the reason why I did this is for revenge, and for the other. I want to be a Marquis. Compared with my brother, I’m really dirty inside.” I think properly belittling myself in front of him can make him happier.

"Then how could you speak so noblely when you took the oath?" He was a little surprised. I laughed and said, "If you don't say that, how can you inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, especially the soldiers from the Western Regions? They are scrambling to attack Zhizhi Shanyu, not because they have any great ideals, but because they want to be practical." Protect your homeland on the ground! Moreover, the vast majority of our team are their soldiers." Gan Yanshou spit outside the carriage, and scolded with a smile: "In ancient times, there was Tang Yu, but now there are strong men! It's so fucking sensational. Chen Tang, you are indeed a frivolous scumbag."

I smiled and said, "There's no way, I don't want to either." More than ten days later, the army quickly passed Chigu City, the capital of Wusun. Not far from Chigu City was Tianchi, and two or three hundred miles east of Tianchi was the eastern border of Kangju.At this time, the sun was setting and it was almost dusk. I ordered the army to stop and bury pots for cooking. Tianchi was boundless, wider than Yibohai, but the scenery by the lake was similar to Yibohai. And countless tamarisks, the breeze blowing from the blue lake also brought back my memories of Yisu. Two years have passed, and everything seems like a dream.

While we were eating, suddenly smoke billowed in the distance, and a group of Wusun soldiers came to report that Chigu City had just been attacked by Kangju people.The leader was Baotian, the deputy king of Kangju. He led thousands of cavalry to defeat Wusun Da Kunmi's army, and drove a large number of livestock spoils to return to Kangju. Gan Yanshou and I were overjoyed. There were only a few thousand cavalry in Kangju, and they were chasing trophies. They had absolutely no fighting spirit. This was a good opportunity for us to test our skills.He and I immediately ordered, and the forward team immediately mounted their horses and prepared to attack.

The Hu soldiers from the countries of the Western Regions were indeed very brave with the assistance of the Han soldiers. After a meal, the Kangju cavalry had been defeated by us, and the lakeside beach was full of corpses.When we finished counting the heads of the four hundred and sixty Kangju cavalrymen, the sun had just sunk into the sky, obscuring its last rays. I ordered all the captured livestock to be returned to Wusun da Kunmi, and then asked the soldiers to bring in the Kangju leader Yinudu who had just been captured. Yinudu looks very fierce, but he is very afraid of death. As soon as he entered our tent, he was ashamed and shouted for mercy.He fixed his eyes on me, with a very surprised expression on his face, and blurted out: "It's you. Chen... No, Zhang Chun."

I smiled: "It seems that your memory is not bad." Gan Yanshou looked at me strangely: "What Zhang Chun?" "Oh, I forgot to tell you the situation. I was able to escape from Kangju at the beginning, thanks to some lies. I told Zhizhi Shanyu that I was the youngest son of Zhang Pengzu, Marquis of Fuping. Hu Hanxie Shanyu is also doing his best." Gan Yanshou nodded: "I see, I really have to be careful about you in the future, and I don't know which of your words is true and which is false." I said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, that's what you have to do when dealing with Hulu."

I turned my head to Yinudu, and said to him in Kangju dialect: "Since you are an old friend, how do you want me to treat you." He hurriedly said: "Of course you have to forgive me, please, please forgive me." "It's easy to forgive you, but what if I catch you next time?" I said. He begged: "There will be no next time. In fact, it was not my original intention to go to Wusun to carry out robbers. It's just that Zhizhi Shanyu gave an order. Who dares to disobey." I sneered and said: "You Kangju are also known as a big country, why don't you have any dignity at all? When Zhizhi steamed to death your nobleman butchered the black deer, don't you have any heart for the death of a rabbit or a fox?"

He lowered his head in shame, and mumbled, "The Huns are too cruel, we can't resist." I suddenly roared: "If a man stands in the world, he will be dead at worst. Why would Princess Yisu prefer death to submission? Compared with him, are you all pigs?" He was so frightened that he jumped up, kowtowed and said: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die." Gan Yanshou was also taken aback by me, and said, "You're like a lunatic, I won't play with you anymore. Anyway, I don't understand your Kangju nonsense, report the result to me in time after the trial." Said He got up and stretched, and staggered out of the tent.

After sending Gan Yanshou out, I continued to interrogate: "Now that our Han soldiers are here, are you willing to join forces inside and outside to wipe out Zhizhi Shanyu together?" He answered irrelevantly: "May I ask how many Han soldiers you brought here?" I said exaggeratedly: "We have 40,000 leading troops, and 60,000 follow-up troops, a total of 100,000." He was a little surprised: "Really?" From his expression, I found that he really didn't lie. If I help him kill Zhizhi Shanyu, they should be very happy. I said: "Of course it is true. This time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty specially issued an edict to conscript knights from the six counties in the Northwest, chariots and horses from several counties in the Kanto, and Hu soldiers from the Western Regions. There are more than 100,000 troops. Is it worth a blow from us?"

He shook his head again and again: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it. Zhizhi's army is only 30,000, and compared with Shangguo, it is an egg hitting a stone. We Kangju people hate Zhizhi and are willing to assist Han soldiers to counterattack Zhizhi. I am just worried about Zhizhi If the support is not dead, once the Han soldiers retreat, we will suffer again." "I won't do it this time. If I don't kill him, I swear I won't return to my teacher. What proof do you use for your willingness to help us?" I asked. "The villain's brother, Tu Mo, is more trusted by Zhizhi now, but he really hates Zhizhi for taking over our country. The villain is willing to go with the army. When he arrives at Kangju, he invites my brother to discuss a perfect plan."

I said happily: "Very good. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
