Chapter 647: Vice Captain of the Protectorate of the Western Regions(1/2)

In Yanran Mountain, it has been half a year since the battle between Temujin and Huo Qubing.

When a cavalry arrived at Yanran Mountain, less than three hundred cavalry were left. The flags of the Han army were broken, and only half of the word "Han" on the flag were left, which was the word "you".

All the soldiers' armor was covered in blood, but their morale was high and murderous.

Yellow sand is wearing golden armor in hundreds of battles.

The general led by the army took off his helmet and exposed his face covered with scars and sword marks. He scanned the desolate Yanran Mountain. White bones and cracked shields buried half of the soil could be seen at any time below the mountain.

Half a year ago, Temujin recruited millions of iron cavalry to encircle and suppress the Han army, Huo Qubing, and a great war broke out in Yanran Mountain. Whether it was the Han army or the nomadic cavalry, there were heavy casualties and corpses everywhere.

"Why haven't General Huo and the other two generals arrived as scheduled?"

He agreed with Huo Qubing and others that after breaking through the siege, he would go to various places in the north of the Mo and meet again in Yanran Mountain for half a year.

However, except for his cavalry, there were no other cavalry in Yanran Mountain.

"Sir, can General Huo and the others have been slapped by Temujin..."

"With General Huo's ability, how could he be killed? It's hard to say about the other few people."

"What should we do now, sir?"

"It seems that I can only try to return to the Central Plains."

This Han army could not wait for Huo Qubing and others' troops. The only choice now was to leave Mobei and return to the Central Plains to recruit soldiers.

Mobei is Temujin's home court. Under the pursuit of Subutai and Zhebe, he suffered losses and fled to Lake Baikal for a time. When Zhe returned, only 300 people were left.

"Sir, look, it's the Xiongnu or Mongol spirit eagle!"

A Han cavalry exclaimed, and saw several spirit eagles flying above Yanran Mountain.

The Han cavalry were pale and they knew nomadic cavalry well. Whether it was the Hun cavalry, Turkic cavalry or Mongolian cavalry, they all had the talent to train eagles.

The appearance of the nomadic cavalry's spirit eagle indicates that a large number of nomadic cavalry are about to appear. Their three hundred Han cavalry cannot cope with so many nomadic cavalry.

"Go away!"

Under the leadership of the commander, the three hundred Han cavalry prepared to leave Yanran Mountain and even prepared for a fierce battle.

"No, you can't leave."

A Hun cavalry appeared, and the leader stopped the Han cavalry in fluent ancient Chinese.

"Who are you?"

The Han generals stared at the strange Hun cavalry vigilantly. The other party was dressed as a Hun, but they used fluent ancient Chinese, which made people wonder their true identities.

The leader who looked like a leader of the Huns said, "I am Zhao Ponu of the Great Han Dynasty."

The Han general seemed to know Zhao Ponu and said in surprise: "Zhao Ponu, Marquis of Wuye?!"

“That’s right.”

"How did you surrender to the Huns?"

"This is a plan."

"So that's it. But why are you here?"

"A few months ago, General Huo had returned to the Central Plains. I came to Yanran Mountain on his behalf at the agreed time, met with the generals, and then sent someone to escort the generals to the pass. Could it be that there is only the general, the cavalry?"

Zhao Ponu waited in Yanran Mountain for a long time. He originally thought that Wu, who followed Huo Qubing to fight against Temujin, would return one after another, but he did not expect that only one cavalry would come back alive.

This cavalry survived the pursuit of Subutai and Zhebe, the two gems of the Mongol Empire, which is enough to show that this Han will have considerable skills.

The Han general sighed: "In addition to General Huo, there are three other troops who break through separately. Since they have not come back, it means that they are likely to be defeated by Temujin or even captured alive."

"The Huns and Mongols are likely to gather in Yanran Mountain. You three hundred people should quickly change into the Huns' clothes. I will arrange people to help you go to Guanzhong. It's not too late."

Zhao Ponu sneaked into the Mongol Empire and became a thousand households of the Mongol Empire. He arranged subordinates who were proficient in the Xiongnu language to help the group go to Heishui City and then go to Guanzhong.

Zhao Ponu also made contributions to sending these people to Guanzhong.

"Chen Tang, deputy captain of the Western Regions Protectorate, thank you for helping Wuyehou. If you have a chance in the future, you will definitely repay you."

This dusty Western Han general saluted Zhao Ponu solemnly.

Chen Tang was also a military general of the Western Han Dynasty, and was born a hundred years later than Zhao Ponu. He was respectful to famous generals of ancient times.

"Let's go quickly, it's time for me to return to the Xiongnu tribe, so as not to be suspicious of the Xiongnu Khan."

Zhao Ponu asked Chen Tang to quickly bring the remaining Han soldiers back to the Central Plains, and then Zhao Ponu led his troops back to the Xiongnu tribe.

"Departure, enter the pass!"

Chen Tang led three hundred Han cavalry to march south.

"We can finally return to Han territory!"

"After joining the army for fifteen, we will be able to return until we are eighty!"

All of this Han cavalry were happy. They were able to leave Mobei and return to the inner palace.

Chen Tang and Huo Qubing met in Mobei and joined forces with several other military generals to try to suppress the Mongol Empire that rose in Mobei. However, the Mongol Empire's military strength was too large and they failed to fight. At this time, Chen Tang could only go to the pass, meet with Huo Qubing, and make plans.

Chen Tang asked the guide sent by Zhao Ponu, "Are you a Hun?"

The man replied, "The villain is a Hun who is attached to the Han Dynasty, that is, a member of the Southern Hun tribe. Please do not doubt my loyalty."

"What's going on now?"

"All heroes stand together... But Lord Zhang Hua swept Liangzhou and now he has occupied Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Central Plains and other places, and divided the world into three parts. It is estimated that it will take less than a few years to win the world."

Gujia

"I see."

Chen Tang learned from the Xiongnu guide sent by Zhao Ponu that the prince Huo Qubing was Zhang Hua, who was in Guanzhong, so he became interested in this person.

In the Han and Tang dynasties, one dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate, and the other dynasty established the Anxi Protectorate to rule the Western Regions.

Chen Tang's official position was the deputy captain of the Western Region Protectorate, but in fact, this position was already the second-in-commander of the Western Region Protectorate.

Chen Tang was somewhat similar to Gao Xianzhi, the great defender of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. He liked to make meritorious contributions. He once used the reason that "those who violated the powerful Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty would be punished even if they were far away." Without the permission of the court, he falsely issued an imperial edict and mobilized Han soldiers from the Western Regions Protectorate. More than 40,000 soldiers from the vassal state, and fought thousands of miles westward, broke into the Wusun Kingdom, and killed the then Northern Xiongnu Zhizhi Shanyu.

If you are away, you will not accept military orders. This is a cruel person.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Tang and Huo Qubing, who was also a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, joined forces to try to attack the Mongolian tribe of Tiemuzhen.

The military generals of the Han Dynasty were extremely persistent in fame and fame, especially in the title of marquis.

Li Guang dreamed of being a marquis in his life.

In order to be granted a title of marquis, some military generals and good families did not hesitate to participate in the expedition to Dayuan and the Huns.

Some generals even used their military achievements to atone for their sins.

That’s right, as long as your military achievements are great enough, you can even offset your death penalty!

It can be said that the Han Dynasty was a dynasty that advocated force very much, and the Han Dynasty was defeated by force.

If Zhang Hua could provide Chen Tang with the troops needed to make meritorious service, Chen Tang would probably be happy to serve.

Yanran Mountain, after Chen Tang and Zhao Ponu left, calmed again, with grass growing and birds flying.

Ten days later, the sound of horse hooves rang out, and another cavalry arrived at Yanran Mountain.

This cavalry had about 700 people in ragged clothes, which was even more tragic than Chen Tang's cavalry. Their flags were also Han army flags!

"No, we missed the time to meet with General Huo and General Chen. I believe they had not seen us, and they must have thought that we had been killed by Temujin and led our troops south."

The generals of this cavalry knew that they had arrived late, and they thought that Huo Qubing, Chen Tang and others had successfully met in Yanran Mountain and returned to the pass.

"General, we are the only one lonely army left in Mobei. What should we do?"

"At this time, we can only lead our troops back to the pass."

"From Mobei to Guannei, there are many roads. We can go to Hexi, Yunzhong, and Yanyun."

"I don't know what's going on inside the pass, so I'll go to the clouds to take refuge. We set off overnight, otherwise Temujin's army would catch up."

"yes!"

The Han generals quickly made up their minds and marched quickly towards Yunzhong.

Chen Tang and this person missed ten days, so they parted ways. They went to Hexi alone and Yunzhong.

Zhao Ponu did not expect that in ten days, another cavalry would arrive at Yanran Mountain as scheduled. At this time, Zhao Ponu had returned to the command of Huns tribe Lu Gu Shanyu.

The Han army in Mobei was destroyed by Temujin, and the Mongol Empire continued to strengthen its rule over Mobei. Zhao Ponu followed the Hulugu Shanyu, the Hun tribe, and was gradually valued by the Mongol Empire...

After two Han cavalry left Yanran Mountain, Temujin's Qixue army and a large group of Mongolian cavalry appeared in Yanran Mountain, and were still pursuing the whereabouts of two Han generals.

Temujin rode Canglang with his eyes as sharp as a knife. Canglang and Qiexue army galloped past, with broken grass everywhere.

"Five generals who were enemies of Ben Khan, two of them were captured alive by Ben Khan, and three of them were missing. In our Mongolian hunting ground, three people actually escaped. This is a shame for us!"

Temujin is not satisfied with the current results.

These five Han generals were enemies of Temujin, which seriously delayed Temujin's grand plan to lead millions of iron cavalry southward.

Erzhu Rong, Hebayue, Murong Ba, Murong Ke, Hu Lugu and other nomadic tribe leaders who served Temujin, as well as members of the Golden Family of the Mongol Empire, Shuchi, Tolei, Mongke, Kublai, Alibuge, generals of the Mongol Empire, Subutai, Tolei, Chi Laowen, Mu Huali and others followed Temujin to Yanran Mountain.
