Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters lead the snake out of the hole
After the Holy Han Dynasty abolished the Golden Guard and Silver Guard systems, the information obtained by the imperial court was not even as true as the information obtained by the Yu Guard from retired soldiers. Wen Mingyuan asked the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War said that there was no need to care about the wilderness. Before leaving, he
Only then did we know that the name of the commander-in-chief of the Western Qin Dynasty was Heiger, and his Chinese name was Zhang Shouzheng. The rest was just how the Western Qin Army shocked the countries in the Western Regions, and how they opened up trade at Yumen Pass with the Holy Han.
Zhao Suo was inconvenient to reveal Zhang Xiaowu's name, so he simply said that he originally planned to be a rich man, but he was unwilling to be lonely and left the country to do business, so he joined the Western Qin Dynasty by chance. Because of his strong financial resources and wide connections, the Western Qin Dynasty
He entrusted himself with the important task of serving as a small political chief.
Wen Mingyuan didn't understand how much power the political chief had. He thought he was a civil servant, so he smiled and said: "With my uncle's ability, how can he be a county guard when he returns to Youzhou? It is also possible for him to be a state pastor."
, how to be a small administrative chief of the district bureau."
Zhao Suo laughed and said: "Xiannephew, do you know what the greatest joy in life is?"
"What is it?"
"I am happy." Zhao Suo said, "I am the Chief of Administration in Western Qin, and I am very happy. I don't need to look at government documents every day, welcome inspections from superiors, and send money to Longdu and women to drink and laugh with.
, I just need to do my own thing every day. Dear nephew, now I am willing to do things and suffer, how happy I am."
"It's just a small country..." Wen Mingyuan shook his head, "It limits my uncle's talents, but as long as my uncle is happy, my nephew will have no choice but to bless him. If one day in the future my uncle will be unhappy, my nephew will do his best to help you when you come to Longdu.
.”
Zhao Suo said: "Because of your words, my five taels of silver were not wasted back then. I also tell you the same thing. If you are in trouble in the Holy Han Dynasty, go to Western Qin to seek refuge with your uncle."
Wen Mingyuan smiled and said: "It's a deal, uncle. It's hard to be kind enough to talk in a hurry. We'll see you again in the future when we have the opportunity."
Zhao Suo watched Wen Mingyuan wait for the Han envoys to go away, smiling and waving his hands. The young juniors had gradually grown up, and he, Zhang Xiaowu and others were also getting older.
Zhang Long stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Sir, we are all ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait."
Zhao Suo smiled proudly: "When we get to Jincheng, we will immediately spread the news that the commander-in-chief has recovered from his illness. I want to see if the fish Sardin will take the bait. Don't worry."
"Here."
"In addition," Zhao Suo said, "when I go back, I will remind Mr. Lang that after the ceremony of Prince Mohe, the Central Plains will send agents to enter the Western Qin Dynasty. Previously, they did not pay attention to the wild lands, but as the Western Qin Dynasty grows, I am afraid they will not be able to hide from them.
eyes."
Zhang Long looked towards the direction Wen Mingyuan was leaving and said thoughtfully, "I understand."
Wen Mingyuan returned to the Dragon Capital of the Holy Han Dynasty through Longmen Pass in Youzhou. He first paid a visit to the commander of the Dragon Guard, Zhang Tongming. Zhang Tongming also expressed great enthusiasm and welcome to this young and handsome nephew. During the dinner, the two of them met.
After he was captured by Zhao Suo, Zhang Tongming found out that Zhao Suo, who had been missing for eight years, had actually become the Chief of Administration of the Western Qin Dynasty. Zhang Tongming was surprised and said: "Do you know how big the Chief of Administration is? Under the leadership of the Western Qin Dynasty,
They are the Chief of Administration, the Chief of Military Affairs, the Chief of Civil Affairs and the Chairman. Among the four chiefs, the Military Chief is only in charge of military affairs and is equivalent to the Grand Marshal of the Army. The Chief of Civil Affairs is only in charge of civil affairs and is equivalent to the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Rites. The Chairman is responsible for reviewing cases.
, is equivalent to the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, while the rest are all under the management of the Administrator, equivalent to the Prime Minister. Your Uncle Zhao is not a small official, he is one person below ten thousand people."
Wen Mingyuan opened his mouth wide in disbelief. Then he thought of the conversation with him and said with a blush, "No wonder he said that if I am in trouble in the future, I can take refuge in him. It turns out that it is really not polite."
Zhang Tongming laughed loudly and said, "If I have the chance, I really want to reminisce with him." Then he introduced his deputy commander, whose name was Yi Sheng, one of the nine adopted sons of the late General Zhang Xiaowu.
, now serves as the deputy commander of Longmen Pass Longwei. Wen Mingyuan and Yi Sheng have never met, and their friendship is not deep, but Yi Sheng is particularly interested in Zhao Suo. He asked in detail what happened and what happened.
After Wen Mingyuan left, Yi Sheng said to Zhang Tongming privately: "My adoptive father had five of his earliest followers, namely Hu Sanwan, Zhao Suo, Xiao Kai, Chen Guanxi, Wang Yijin, Wang Yijin died in battle, and Chen Guanxi committed suicide.
After that, Hu Sanwan guarded Youzhou, and Xiao Kai became Minister of War. Only Zhao Suo was the most mysterious. He had not shown up for eight years, and the world had no way of knowing.
Their whereabouts. I have been in contact with them, and I know that some of them are proud and will not easily obey others, especially Zhao Suo, who is not even willing to serve the emperor. I remember that the emperor planned to grant Mr. Zhao the title of Minister of Household Affairs.
He rejected both the position and the title. But I never expected that he would actually serve as a deputy to these bandits from the Western Qin Dynasty. Sir, don't you find it strange?"
Zhang Tongming said: "What do you think is strange?"
"Master Zhao will never accept being subordinated to others. Now that he has become the second-in-command of a bandit, there must be something fishy about it." Yi Sheng said, "Sir, please allow me to go to Western Qin to investigate in person and find out the reason."
"Are you going to Western Qin?"
"Yes, I am willing to inquire in detail why the Western Qin Dynasty rose so rapidly." Yi Sheng said firmly.
Zhang Tongming thought for a while and said: "Strengthen the security, come back as soon as possible, and pay attention to safety."
"Here."
On July 18th, the 13th year of Yongding, the Western Qin envoy arrived at Jincheng in Yajin Granary and announced that the commander-in-chief of the Western Qin Dynasty had been cured of his illness, but he was weak and needed to rest for five days. On July 24th, the Western Qin envoy
Follow the official road to Roland Outpost
They moved forward and arrived at the Roland outpost ten days later, but did not enter the Roland outpost but turned westward. Sardinian commander Lamu sent people to catch up with the mission, but was driven away by the mission's people. Lamu was more certain that Zhang Xiaowu
Right in the mission.
On July 26, the Western Qin envoy arrived at Ji Neck Road.
The Chicken Neck Road is a broad riverbed area located between Hen Mountain and Huangyang Mountain. Every spring, the ice and snow on Hen Mountain and Huangyang Mountain melt, and the snow water flows along the two mountains to form the Ji Neck River, which eventually flows into
Jialan River. Although the Jialan River has formed a chicken neck channel over time, due to snow
There is less water, and the Jineck River will be dry every summer and autumn, so it is also called Jineck Road. At this time, there are still many wild animals here, and many hunters will hunt here. When the Western Qin delegation came, they would
We stopped at the river for a rest, and now we still take this road when we return.
King Sardin led 500 heavy armored cavalry, 300 archers and 200 infantry in ambush in the front. Ram led 500 heavy armored cavalry in pursuit. The Sardinians dispatched 1,500 people, from east to west along the Chicken Neck River.
The two parties blocked the Western Qin mission in the river.
Twenty miles away, the 10,000 Western Qin cavalry led by Zhang Xiaowu were also ready. Behind him were his generals lined up. They all showed strong murderous intentions and fighting spirit. This was the great victory of the Western Qin Dynasty.
The Western Region Allied Forces led by the commander appeared in Mohe territory for the first time, but it was by no means the last time.
