    The furious Emperor Jimmu immediately ordered Prince Nao to lead 3,000 royal guards to the arsenal.  ¡Ø¡ÍKill all the relatives of those traitors.  On the day Prince Zhi set out, Yun Xiao received a secret report.  "Master Marquis, the spy from Kyoto is back. It's true that Prince Nao is leading the army!" Mr. Dayuan was very proud of his spy.  Under such circumstances, following him must be a die-hard loyalty.  "How many people are there?" Yun Xiao stood on the hillside, observing every piece of land with telescopes countless times.  "Three thousand people!" "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't think highly of you. Three thousand people just want to come to your home." Yun Xiao said with a smile.  "At the end of the day, we will take all the strong men here to Xiaguan. The remaining troops left behind are only a few hundred people" Mr. Dayuan hurriedly retorted, but his new master said that his combat power was low.  This is not a good thing.  "Don't rush to defend, it's just a joke. But a few hundred people can catch the emperor's three thousand troops, which is pretty good. This place is good, it's a natural hunting ground. Your crossbows are actually good.  , It's just that it's too crude to shoot flatly, otherwise my losses would be even greater that day. I'll give you all those things, and I'll give you the crossbows and arrows. We will have a total of 12,000 people on both sides to surround this place.  Three thousand people are more than enough. Remember, we must let some people escape, and there must not be Prince Nao among these people. We just need to keep Prince Nao as a bait to fish out the soldiers in Kyoto.  Siege will cause a lot of casualties. "Compared with killing a soldier in the wild, it is not easy to kill an enemy soldier in a siege."  As long as Prince Zhi comes in, my subordinates will ensure that he cannot get out. "Yun Xiao has no doubts about Dayuanjun's commanding ability. He has already demonstrated his military talent in Xiaguan.  Now that I'm on Yun Xiao's ship.  Just let him do it.  All Yun Xiao had to do was to monitor him. After all, he was someone who had just turned against him, so it was impossible for Yun Xiao to be completely reassured.  Yun Xiao is worried about people he doesn't trust, while Liu Che, who is far away in Chang'an, is worried about people he trusts.  It has been almost half a month since the recruitment list was posted, but no one has come forward to reveal it.  Liu Che felt that he couldn't get off the stage, but just now Qiandu reported to Liu Che with a strange look on his face.  It was said that someone had revealed the recruiting list.  See you outside Chengming Hall.  "Announcement!" Liu Che, who was reviewing the memorial, was very happy that finally someone was willing to stand up.  This person must be rewarded heavily. As long as he opens the trade route to the Western Regions, he can have a lot of money in his account.  Make weapons and armor, and buy expensive war horses.  Having already emptied everything out of her house, Gillian was still clamoring about buying jewelry all day long.  Liu Che didn¡¯t understand where Yun Xiao got so much money.  He could afford to support such a large army, but now he is in danger of going bankrupt after raising 8,000 people.  Qiandu had been gone for a long time, and Liu Che felt someone walking in.  Look up.  It turned out to be Zhang Qian.  He didn't realize it and continued to review the memorial with his head down.  After a long time, Liu Che finally finished reviewing the memorial but saw Zhang Qian still standing under the red osmanthus.  Qiandu also stood next to him with an indifferent expression, and Liu Che stretched his waist greatly.  I feel like all the joints in my body are rattling.  "Qiandu, you are becoming more and more careless as a slave. Didn't you say that someone revealed the talent recruitment list? Why don't you show him to me?" Qiandu curled his lips helplessly and glanced at Zhang Qian beside him.  "Your Majesty, Zhang Qian has unveiled the recruitment list. I am willing to help your Majesty find a feasible road to the Western Regions." Zhang Qian bowed to the ground and said to Liu Che.  "What? Zhang Qian, you" Liu Che was so shocked that he almost jumped up on his chair.  Since childhood.  Zhang Qian grew up beside him.  It can be said that Liu Che and Liu Che are both monarchs and ministers, and friends who grew up together.  Nowadays, the political situation of the imperial court is in chaos and it is a time of shortage of manpower.  Zhang Qian is going on a mission to the Western Regions at this time, what a joke!  "Every time I see your majesty working hard to raise military expenses, Master Yan once said that I am worried about your humiliation. It is my fault that my lord is so worried. I am willing to go to the Western Regions and open up trade routes as soon as possible to help my lord" "  "Zhang Qian! It's time for the imperial court to hire people. Besides, it's very dangerous to go to the Western Regions. We have to pass through the territory of the Donghu people and even the Huns. I can't protect you if anything happens to you."  After interrupting Zhang Qian's report, he said anxiously.  "Your Majesty, I know that it is the time for the imperial court to hire people. But the issue of military expenses cannot be delayed any longer. Asking the Empress Dowager for money in the treasury is simply wishful thinking. Your Majesty wants to train Qimen Yulin to compete with the Dou family."The government is already unable to make ends meet, and it will buy a new war horse next year.  Excuse me, can your Majesty really come up with that money?  The reason why the Yun family was able to raise so many cavalry was that they even purchased 20,000 war horses at once.  It wasn't because the Donghu people helped him buy good horses from the Western Regions at a low price.  But we need to buy the Huns horses that the Yun family has eliminated at a sky-high price. The price of each entry and exit is too shocking.  Now Marquis Yun is building troops overseas, and I heard that he has recruited more than 10,000 troops in Shandong and Jiangnan.  Sooner or later, this son will become a serious problem for the big man, for both the immediate and long-term plans.  The imperial court needed to open up trade routes to the Western Regions, so that goods coming from the Western Regions would no longer be held hostage by Donghu.  ??The prices of our exported goods to the Western Regions will not be lowered by the Donghu people.  Once the trade routes were opened, the Western Regions became inseparable from the Han Dynasty.  The might of my great Han Dynasty will surely make all the countries in the Western Regions surrender to Your Majesty" Zhang Qian spat as he spoke, completely ignoring Liu Che's expression of constipation. Although this is the Chengming Palace, it is also the place where the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother gather their attention. Some of them are  Things can be said, but some things cannot be said. Normally, Qiandu can only tell the secret things beforehand. Now that Zhang Qian actually said it in public, Liu Che knew that it would only take two hours.  The Queen Mother will know everything that happened here, and by then Zhang Qian¡¯s life will probably sink forever with the setting sun. ¡°That¡¯s enough!  "Liu Che finally couldn't listen anymore, and he suddenly understood. Zhang Qian did this on purpose, in order to let Liu Che send him away as soon as possible. As long as Liu Che doesn't want Zhang Qian to die, he will send Qimen Yulin to escort him out of the city and then go straight to the city.  Going to the Western Region is the only way. This guy must have packed his luggage at home before the meeting. He even stopped at the door of Weiyang Palace with supplies. Such a thoughtful Zhang Qian, I never noticed it before.  He actually has this ability. He has taken things to heart. Marquis Yun said that a biting dog will not bark. It seems that it has come true today. "Zhang Qian, you must have thought about the hardships along the way.  If you regret it now, I can arrange for you to return to Longyou and take up a post.  Your family's power there is quite large, so they should be able to protect you.  Wait forthe coming day!  "Liu Che swallowed what he wanted to say. The day he meant was the day when the Empress Dowager passed away. The words had been made so clear. It all depends on Zhang Qian's own choice. "Although there are many difficulties and dangers, I am willing to go.  !  I beg your Majesty to issue the certificate of credence, and Zhang Qian will set off now.  " Liu Che was helpless. It seemed that Zhang Qian was determined to go to the Western Regions. I don't know what kind of medicine this guy took or what kind of madness he had taken and why he wanted to run to the Western Regions.  It was ready, and Liu Che even ordered Zhang Qian to arrange it. As for the certificate of credence, it would be effective if it was stamped with a jade seal. Zhang Qian saw Liu Che's livid face, and his cheeks tightened, knowing that Liu Che had already agreed.  He took out a letter of credence from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. When Qiandu placed the letter of credence on the royal desk, Liu Che almost cursed. Damn, this kid even prepared the letter of credence and was just waiting for him to stamp it.  "Cover him, cover him with your seal.  Since he is rushing to commit suicide, let him do it!  "Liu Che ordered Qiandu in annoyance. Qiandu helplessly took the jade seal and dipped it in some ink mud. He covered the jade seal of longevity and longevity on the silk certificate of credence. "Confess Zhang Qian as the envoy of the Han Dynasty.  On a mission to the Western Regions!  Let¡¯s go now!  " "Thank you, Your Majesty!  "Zhang Qian saluted Liu Che again. Then he took the credentials with both hands and walked backwards to go out. "Wait a minute!  "Liu Che shouted loudly on the red osmanthus. "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?  "Zhang Qian still has that dead-willed look on his face. "Call the 200th Gate to go with Yu Lin to protect the safety.  "After Liu Che finished speaking, he sat down on the dragon chair like a deflated rubber ball. I really don't know what kind of madness caused this Qian to go to the Western Regions. The current situation has to be left to his own devices.  It's just a friend. Liu Che couldn't bear to let him go on the road like this, so he sent two hundred men to Yulin as his last support. As for how many people can come back alive, it depends on God's arrangement.  His Majesty!  "Zhang Qian bowed deeply again, tears welling up from his eyes. He didn't want to leave Chang'an, but Since he had already ridden on the back of the tiger, Zhang Qian could only ride on. Gritting his teeth, Zhang Qian left Chengming.  He walked quickly towards the entrance of Weiyang Palace. Otherwise, even if Zhang Qian wanted to go to the Western Regions, he would have to leave. Liu Che's guess was correct. There were ten cars parked in front of Weiyang Palace.  The drivers on the big carriage are all dressed as if they are traveling far away. You don¡¯t need to look at it to know that they are members of the Zhang family.Rushing out breathlessly, these Yulin were so anxious that they didn't even have time to dictate a letter from home.  They received a decree in a daze, saying that they were required to protect the Han envoy Zhang Qian when he went to the Western Regions.  Whether they liked it or not, they were driven by Qiandu and came to Zhang Qian.  The most hasty mission in the history of the Han Dynasty galloped out of Chang'an City in the setting sun. Zhang Qian looked back at the magnificent city wall.  Once I leave, I don¡¯t know if I can come back.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
