Han Dao world

Chapter 975
Shen You traveled westward with Jiang Gan, in order to find a place to use his skills and show his talents.

Now Cheng Gongying, as the guardian of the Western Regions, went out in person for more than ten miles, and invited him to enter the curtain. It can be said that he is attentive and sincere.

If he refuses to agree again, Cheng Gongying's face will be hurt, and things will be difficult to deal with later.

If you are a newcomer and you are not familiar with the customs of the Western Regions, the probability of making mistakes is too high.If it wasn't for Cheng Gongying's reminder just now, he responded out of politeness, and he was robbed in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be troublesome.

Shen You and Jiang Gan exchanged glances, and immediately agreed.

Cheng Gongying was very satisfied, so he invited them into the city and hosted a banquet.

As long as the officials of the Protectorate's Mansion could escape, they all came to the banquet to clean up the dust for Jiang Gan and Shen You.

Knowing that Shen You accepted Cheng Gongying's invitation to become an official, some people were happy, some were not, and even worried.

Among them is the long history of Cheng Gongying, Huang Jun from Jiuquan.

Huang Jun can also be regarded as a long-time official. During the Zhongping period, he was appointed as the prefect of Wuwei. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he lost his official position and was conscripted. He was delayed on the way and almost died.Later, he was dismissed from office and returned home, and has been unemployed.

Cheng Gongying was transferred to the Protectorate of the Western Regions, visited the gate in person, asked Huang Jun to be the chief historian, and promised to recommend him to be an official in the future.

The significance of being an official to two thousand stones is of great significance to the family.Huang Jun agreed to Cheng Gongying's offer, and traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions for this reason.

In all fairness, Huang Jun is still grateful to Cheng Gongying, and he is considered diligent in doing things.Cheng Gongying was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Western Regions, he is a man of merit.

But after all, he is old, and his energy and knowledge are limited, so it is difficult to go further.

Now that Cheng Gongying hired Shen You to join the curtain, it meant that Cheng Gongying was not satisfied with him, and the possibility of him wanting to be awarded an official for merit was greatly reduced, and the previous hard work was in vain.

Shen You was so proud of himself, he was only focused on chatting with Cheng Gongying and Han Hu officials, showing off his eloquence, and didn't notice Huang Jun's face at all.

But Jiang Gan noticed.

After a little inquiring, Jiang Gan found out Huang Jun's situation.

The Huang family is from a rich family in Jiuquan, he had heard Huang Jun's name on the way here, and he knew that although Huang Jun was not as talented as Jia Xu, Han Sui and others, he was still considered a hero.During his stay in Liangzhou, he also supported the imperial court's New Deal.

According to the Son of Heaven, this is a person who can be united.

After the banquet, Jiang Gan suggested to Cheng Gongying that Shen You had just arrived and was not yet familiar with the situation, so it is not appropriate to be promoted to a long history immediately. It is better to let him be a military adviser first, march with the capital guard, make suggestions, accumulate some credit, and then talk about it.

At the same time, Jiang Gan asked about Huang Jun's children.

Cheng Gongying is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Jiang Gan meant.

Soon, he announced Huang Jun as the governor of Liufu.During his expedition to the west, Huang Jun was in charge of the affairs of the mansion.In order to relieve Huang Jun's work pressure, one of the generals in the Western Regions was selected as Zuo Sima to assist Huang Jun in handling exchanges with other countries.

Then, he promoted Huang Jun's son, Huang Hua, to be a military strategist, and he was on the same rank as Shen You.

After this adjustment, Huang Jun's worries disappeared, and he devoted himself to preparations with vigor.

Half a month later, Cheng Gongying led his troops to the expedition.

As a messenger, Jiang Gan went ahead under the protection of a troop of cavalry.

-

The cavalry general is a native of Jiuquan, named Yang Feng, styled Boyang.He is tough and vigilant, shrewd and capable.

Along the way, he not only arranged a series of affairs properly, but also refused to rest occasionally when he was free. He often asked Jiang Gan to tell him stories with a cheeky face.In particular, I am very interested in the story of the Son of Heaven, and never tire of hearing it.

Jiang Gan was very curious, and after looking for an opportunity to ask, he found out that Yang Feng had met the emperor before.

It's just that he was still called Yang Aruo at that time.

He wanted to join the Forbidden Army at the time, but he was not strong enough.Later, the emperor issued an edict ordering Liangzhou warriors to go out to pursue the Xianbei people. He summoned hundreds of rangers to go out to chase and kill the Xianbei people who were defeated by the emperor. He beheaded more than a thousand people and made great contributions.

Later, he joined the Protectorate of the Western Regions and is now a captain.

Because he is good at martial arts and has experience in going deep into the grassland, he often acts as a scout and takes on reconnaissance tasks.

His dream is to take the martial arts exam, learn the art of war, and become a real general.

One evening, while camping, Jiang Gan asked Yang Feng, "You are so good at martial arts, you have rich practical experience, and you can speak Hu dialect so well. You still need to take the martial arts exam to get promoted?"

Yang Feng stroked his messy beard, and said with a chuckle: "If it's just to accumulate credit for killing people, I really don't need to take the martial arts exam. But if I want to convert those Hulu into Han people, my knowledge is not enough. Killing people on the battlefield How many people can be cut down is the ability to persuade them to surrender. There are thousands of people in a moderately large tribe. Look at Xun Changshi, although he is only one person, he can command tens of thousands of Xianbei people to fight."

Yang Feng took a sip of water. "Of course, he was taught by the emperor himself. I am not so lucky. I am satisfied if I can enter the lecture hall."

"What does this have to do with the Son of Heaven?" Jiang Gan picked up the kettle and filled Yang Feng with some water.

Yang Feng looked at Jiang Gan. "Haven't you heard that the emperor subdued the Qiang people?"

Jiang Gan was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly: "You mean... the story that the Qiang people are the descendants of Emperor Yan?"

When he passed through Liangzhou, he heard the local people proudly tell such a story, and he also knew that this story played a certain role in the naturalization of the Qiang people, but he did not expect that this story would be related to the emperor.

"Of course, the story was first told by the emperor." Yang Feng thought for a while, and then said: "I heard from my sister that this is the case. She was a knight in the women's camp, and everyone in the women's camp said that Jiang was Qiang. Female, those surnamed Jiang, like the Qiang people, are descendants of Emperor Yan."

Jiang Gan didn't speak for a long time.

Although he didn't think that only one story could win the hearts of the Qiang people, it was indeed beyond his surprise that this story came from the mouth of the emperor.

"Jiang Jun, tell me, if we meet those red-haired ghosts, what should we say to convince them that they are descendants of Yan and Huang just like the Qiang people?"

Jiang Gan scratched his head, feeling that this question was a bit difficult.No matter how you say it, the Qiang people look more like the Han people, but the red-haired ghosts... are completely different.

"I have to think about it." Jiang Gan said sincerely: "To tell you the truth, I haven't considered this issue before, I just want to kill them."

Yang Feng grinned. "We thought so too. After all, killing people is the easiest way. It's simple and enjoyable. But later, I heard from the captives that there were many tribes behind them, and some tribes had tens of thousands of people. Kill them all." Wouldn't it be a pity. Especially the red-haired ghost's woman, who fights harder than a man, if I can be tricked into being a concubine, riding a horse to fight together during the day and sleeping together at night, that would be great."

Jiang Gan couldn't help laughing out loud, it turned out that Yang Feng had this idea.

Yang Feng said that he slipped his mouth, and was a little embarrassed, but he didn't hide it. "Nowadays women are talking about their mouths. It is getting more and more difficult for us to marry a wife. We can only play with these barbarian ideas."

Jiang Gan frowned slightly. "You are a warrior with military exploits, why is it so difficult to marry a wife?"
