Nine hundred and fifty-fifth chapter days(1/2)
After a long journey, the shadow of Nanhou Mountain finally appeared in Wei Lu's sight.
He could finally stop and take a breath.
However, at this time, he was already in a mess.
From Langyuan all the way north, along the source of Gonglu River, and after trekking more than a thousand miles, he and his remaining part were exhausted.
Fortunately, during the journey, he received help from several nomadic lord tribes in the Gonglu River, and obtained food and herbs before he could return to this place.
Looking back at the south, Wei Lu gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let's go, go back to Guyan Mountain immediately to pay homage to his mother, Mrs. Yan!"
The mother of the Huns, the contemporary mother of the Huns, was born in the Zhuanqu clan.
That was a terrible woman, and even a woman with a strong desire to control!
It is almost comparable to Empress Lu and Empress Dou in the history of the Han Dynasty!
If possible, Wei Lu would not want to meet directly.
But now, there is no way.
After the Southern Expedition was defeated, his troops were almost wiped out.
The King of Guyan and Guyan Wanqi are probably going to be destroyed.
If you want to let the Right King come out and take the blame, you can only go to see that mother, Mrs. Yan!
"I hope it's still time!" Wei Lu thought to himself, so he led two or three hundred cavalrymen towards Guyan Mountain.

Wolf Yuan.
The rising sun rises and the morning light is bright.
The Hushe herders who came from Zhaze and brought tens of thousands of livestock here to work hard, drove the cattle and sheep they brought into the camp one by one.
Then, the Han army and Wu Hengyi followed each other and cheered.
Because the livestock sent by these Hushe herders were not the livestock that had been slaughtered on the grassland.
Almost all of them sent were lambs and calves under one year old.
The lively lambs were bleating.
The calves looked around them blankly.
Then, they were overwhelmed by the cheers of tsunamis.
Facts have proved that when it comes to eating, the people of the Xia Dynasty are never inferior to anyone!
Even Zhang Yue drooled at these sheep and cattle.
Of course, you can't be too old when eating sheep and cows.
If it is too old, the meat will be too hard and will have a scent of fishy smell.
Generally speaking, the best food for grassland sheep is lamb between six and eight months.
This kind of mutton, even if it is just cooked with clear water and radish, will be very delicious, and there is no fishy smell, and even fat meat can be put into the mouth.
For beef, calves around one to two years old are the best time to eat. Beef of this age is the most tender and juicy. You can eat it happily after roasting it on the fire!
The only problem is...
Zhang Yue sighed: "This is killing the chicken to get the eggs!"
Livestock on the grassland are Chinese crops.
The Hushe people sent these lambs and calves, which almost meant that Chinese farmers cut off the immature wheat, rice, and corn.
The loss is imaginable.
"Angel! The king's army can avenge the villains, and the villains are already grateful. I hope the angels and the heroes of the king's army will accept it with a smile!" The envoy Hushe, who came from the scattered cattle and sheep, knelt in front of Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "Apart from that, these cattle and sheep are also Hushe people, donating spontaneously and rushing to the public..."
"If the angel doesn't believe it, you can ask the person who came with the villain..."
These are the truth!
The Han army is now a savior-like existence for the Hushe people.
Especially after they had experienced the cruelty of the Huns with their own eyes, witnessed the divine power of the Han army and the subsequent facts of the continuous invasion of the Hun cavalry.
Hushe's ministries were already scared.
Nowadays, the one who is most afraid of the Han army giving up Munan is Hushe people.
They couldn't believe that there was no protection for the royal army.
Therefore, even if you sell your liver and kidneys, you will be willing to sell your liver and kidneys.
What's more, donating some cattle and sheep to work hard?
Another thing is that there are smart people among Hushe people.
They knew very well that the military supplies and military use of the Han army here must have been taken from Zhize.
Instead of waiting for the king's master to speak, it is better to be more generous and take the initiative to deliver it.
In this way, at least you can leave the impression of being "obedient, sensible, and well-behaved".
There are naturally many benefits for future development and management!
Zhang Yue listened, naturally he was not pretentious, and he would not be so stupid that he pushed others' "good intentions".
So he thanked him: "For my purpose, I thank you Hushe and the people for their good wishes!"
"The king's army is angry with thunder and rain, and also with rain and dew... When I return from the Northern Expedition, I will be rewarded with the merits of all the Lords!"
"The king will also compensate for the things he has spent on him at his discretion!"
These words are said to be grateful to all the people who are grateful to you.
So, on that day, the main force of the Han army and Wu Hengyi, who had already completed the meeting in Langyuan, lit countless bonfires on this grassland.
Hundreds of soldiers who were good at slaughtering took swords and axes to fight, and nearly a thousand cattle and sheep were slaughtered.
Then, inside and outside the military camp, it became a barbecue technology competition in the world.
The Han soldiers born in Shu County brought peppercorns and dogwood. The Han soldiers from Chu State gave out fennel and fragrant leaves. People from Hejian and Handan recommended and performed a technique called "Baizhu".
In this competition, the most dazzling stars are the thousands of kilograms of wheat flour brought by the generals of the Changshui Captain, as well as various scones made of these wheat flours.
Even the Hun soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp were well received and distributed a lot of broth, bones, beef and sheep.
The nobles even enjoyed a luxurious set meal, where they could eat barbecue and scones with spices.
As for a person like Xu Yanfeng, of course, Zhang Yue personally accompanied him.
He presented a feast of taste and vision for him.
What are some mutton brushed, fried steak, roasted beef bone marrow...
Even side dishes such as stir-fried beef, dogwood beef tendons, and fried mutton onion are served on a plate.
The King Guyan of the Huns was almost unable to get bitten off his tongue.
After drinking and eating, Zhang Yue raised his wine bottle and said to Xu Yanfeng: "King, now our army is full of morale and has sufficient soldiers and food. We can already help our army to go north and attack Langjuxu Mountain to lay the foundation for the king's foundation!"
"I don't know, what advice does the king have before going to war?"
After hearing this, Xu Yanshi quickly put down the knife used to cut meat in his hand, touched his mouth, and stood up and bowed: "Report to the angel, Xiao Wang is lucky to have the angel never abandoned him, and he has great faith. He often wants to repay his kindness. Now, when he heard the angel's words, Xiao Wang is brave enough to have a few simple opinions..."
Zhang Yue smiled and asked, "Please tell me in detail!"
Xu Yanshi then explained to Zhang Yue the situation he mastered and knew about the Gonglu River Basin, especially the Gonglu River channel that traveled through the entire vast sea.
After hearing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but nodded.
What Xuyanzi said is in line with what Zhang Yue knows about geography and natural common sense.
From this we can also see that Xuyan is indeed sincerely willing to cooperate with the Han army.
After digesting the information provided by Xu Yanzhen, Zhang Yue summed up the content he obtained from other captured nobles and soldiers these days and fell into deep thought.
Connect the entire known geographical and geomorphology of Mobei with maps and news seen in later generations one by one.
As a river connecting the south and north of the desert and rushing for countless years.
The Gonglu River (Klulun River) has been the most important river on this grassland since ancient times!
Needless to say, the famous Mongolian Empire in later generations rose from the Gonglu River Basin, gradually dominated the grasslands, and then looked at the world.
The geography and landform of this area are completely different from that of the Han people.
Wind and sand, desert, Gobi, rivers, and oasis coexist.
The only road that can be safely passed from the vast sea is the Gonglushui River that winds all the way from Guyan Mountain and the banks of the river valley.
However, the roads in this area are extremely rugged.
In particular, the Han army attacked from low ground to high ground.
Fortunately, Zhang Yue is a time traveler.
