The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 459 Chapter 458 West Wind (25)

Pang Tong obliged to accept Zhang Yan's dispatch. At the same time, this was also the result that Pang Tong wanted to achieve. He wanted to take this opportunity to establish his own merits. Winning will leave a deep imprint on Zhang Yan's heart.

In fact, even Pang Tong himself was not very clear why Zhang Yan only brought himself by his side this time, leaving Xu Shu in Tianshui and letting Zhuge Liang join the army as Ma Teng.

After thinking about it, Pang Tong finally came up with an answer he thought he was very satisfied with, that is, Zhang Yan valued himself more than the other two.Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Zhang Yan did not judge people by their appearance.

Pang Tong recalled the moment he met Zhang Yan for the first time, and Zhang Yan’s enthusiasm left a deep impression on him, as if he knew that he was a man with great ambition, full of knowledge, and able to strategize.

His appearance is very mediocre, compared with the handsome Zhuge Liang and the tall Xu Shu, he can only be described as dwarfed by comparison.

Pang Tong is not tall, and his appearance can't be said to be very straight. Anyway, his facial features seem to be put together abruptly, which makes him ugly.

Pang Tong used to be a person with low self-esteem, but since he met Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing, under Sima Hui's enlightenment, he gradually became cheerful, and soon showed that he is superior to ordinary people. He is smart, studious, and knowledgeable. It is strong to remember, and can be photographed.

His appearance and height left an eternal pain in his heart, which was also his criticism.However, his broad forehead shows his superhuman wisdom, and he especially has a special love for military tactics, which has become a knowledge he has worked hard to study, and he hopes that one day, he will be the most admired in the world. A generation of military advisers who are the most intelligent in the world can easily change the course of the country's progress with a random decision.

But now, in Zhang Yan's fertile soil, he is bound to grow into a towering tree, using his shade to protect thousands of people under the tree.

Zhang Yan seemed to know what Pang Tong was thinking, and always gave Pang Tong the most selfless help at critical moments.

"Going to Jiluo Mountain here must be very dangerous. How many soldiers and horses do you need?"

While Pang Tong was immersed in endless thoughts, Zhang Yan's words suddenly came to his ears.

Pang Tong returned from his thoughts to reality in an instant. Seeing Zhang Yan looking at him expectantly, an idea quickly flashed in his mind, and he immediately replied: "I only need one person!"

After Zhang Yan heard this, he was stunned. Just now Pang Tong suggested that he should stay in the Jiluo Mountain area and cooperate with the Western Region Allied Forces to attack the Xianbei people back and forth, but now he only needs one person.What can a person do?
"Shiyuan, are you sure there is only one person?" Zhang Yan asked solemnly.

Pang Tong nodded heavily.

Zhang Yandao: "Then what kind of person do you want?"

"A person who is proficient in Xiongnu dialect and Western Region dialect." Pang Tong said.

Zhang Yan glanced at the groom Ayub who was not far away, and knew that this person must be him, so he called directly: "Ayub, come here."

When Ayoubu heard Zhang Yan calling him, he immediately rode his horse to Zhang Yan's side, and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness, what do you want from me?"

Zhang Yandao: "Ayub, you are from the Western Regions, you should be able to speak Western Region dialect?"

Ayub said in a not-so-pure Chinese: "This is my mother tongue, so I can speak it naturally."

"Can the Xiongnu speak?" Zhang Yan asked.

"Yes, but not many, basically there is no problem with communication." Ayou said.

After all, Ayub is the prince of Dawan, and he can be regarded as an aristocrat. His ability to speak the language of the Huns is entirely due to the good aristocratic education in Dawan.Dawan is one of the countries in the Western Regions. There are many countries in the surrounding area, and various languages ​​are gathered together. After a long period of adaptation and development, a language commonly used by all countries in the Western Regions has gradually formed, which is the Western Region dialect.But at the beginning, all the countries in the Western Regions were subject to the Huns, so people in the Western Regions basically had to learn to speak the Huns' dialect.Later, when the Han people came to the Western Regions and defeated the Xiongnu, Chinese became a popular language for people in the Western Regions to learn.However, the Xiongnu dialect has also been passed down from generation to generation and has become one of the indispensable languages ​​in the Western Regions.

If it weren't for the civil strife in Dawan, Ayub should be able to master the Huns' dialect very proficiently by now.

Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction, and said to Ayub: "Now this king has an important matter to entrust to you, are you willing to serve this king?"

"Death!" said Ayyub.

Zhang Yan then explained to Ayub what he was going to send him to do. After hearing the appointment, Ayub was very excited and expressed his willingness to go to Jinwei Mountain with Pang Tong to serve as Pang Tong's interpreter.

So, Pang Tong and Ayub, two young men from different places, rode war horses and embarked on the trip to Jinwei Mountain. With an important mission, the two of them were non-stop along the way.

But Zhang Yan rushed back to Juyan City with the army and prisoners. Although there was no Ayub to lead the way, it was not difficult to cross the Gobi. Before leaving, Ayub specially drew a map for him. Zhang Yan, let Zhang Yan follow the road map, and he will definitely be able to get out of this Gobi.

However, this time Zhang Yan belonged to the family and led the mouth. There were a large number of prisoners and a lot of supplies, so the speed of walking slowed down. It took five days to walk back to Juyan City.

At this time, the person stationed in Juyan City was Ma Gang. Ma Teng sent him to station Juyan City and brought ten thousand soldiers. When Ma Gang learned that Zhang Yan had returned, he took the initiative to greet Zhang Yan. Combine the two into one, and for the captives, make proper arrangements, let Ma Gang take these Xianbei captives, migrate to the Wuwei area, and carry out farming there.

But Zhang Yan continued to stay in Juyan City, waiting for news from Pang Tong and Ayub.

At the same time, Pang Tong and Ayub had already arrived at Jinwei Mountain, but they wanted to avoid the Xianbei people, so they hid day and night, and it took a long time to find the area where the coalition forces of the Western Regions were located.

Jinwei Mountain is the name of the Altai Mountain in ancient times. The Altai Mountain obliquely crosses part of the territory of China, Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan. It stretches for nearly [-] miles from the Gobi (desert) to West Siberia. The runoff is relatively rich, and the Irtysh River and the Ulungu River have developed, and the water flow in the territory is relatively rich.In addition, the terrain of the Altai Mountains is divided into sub-desert belt, mountain grassland belt, mountain forest belt and alpine belt. There are grasslands, forests, mountains, rivers, and various birds and animals in the territory. And rich mineral resources, so this area has become one of the paradise of nomads.

Today's Altai Mountains are occupied by the Xianbei, and Hu Yanhui, the Hun, came back at all costs to compete with the Xianbei for this area, which shows the importance of this area to the nomads.

Jinwei Mountain (Altai Mountain), which used to be a paradise for nomads, has now become a nightmare area. The Xianbei people and the Western Regions coalition led by Hu Yanhui are facing each other on both sides of Jinwei Mountain. The open grassland area in Jinwei Mountain It became the main battlefield of the two sides fighting.

The two sides have been fighting for almost half a month, and there are winners and losers. There will be tens of thousands of casualties almost every day. Before the corpses on the grassland can be cleaned up, the war started again immediately, so that blood stained everyone on the grassland. an inch of land.

Corpses littered the field, blood flowed into rivers, and the corpses that were too late to clean up became the delicacy of birds and beasts. At night, wolves were densely packed on the grassland, and their green eyes were blinding, and they greedily buried their heads in the piles of piles. Among the corpses, they used their sharp teeth to bite the corpses of the deceased, making this battlefield even more bloody and unsightly.

At the foot of the west side of Jinwei Mountain is the station of the Western Region Allied Forces brought by Hu Yanhui, and it is brightly lit at night.

Pang Tong and Ayub rode horses, led by the rangers of the Western Regions Allied Forces, and came to the camp of the Western Regions Allied Forces.

The rangers went to inform their superiors, and the superiors informed their superiors' superiors, and the notifications went down level by level. Finally, the news of Pang Tong and Ayub's arrival finally reached Hu Yanhui's ears.

At this moment, Hu Yanhui was helplessly drinking in the big tent. He had fought with the Xianbei for half a month, and each had victories and losses. However, the Western Regions Allied Forces won less and lost more. The Western Regions Allied Forces were not very popular. , the morale at this time almost fell to the bottom.

It is precisely for this reason that Hu Yanhui has not made any military actions or launched any battles for the past two days.

If he can't capture Jinwei Mountain this time and become the controller of this area, then he may not be able to hold his head up. He can't afford to lose this battle, and he can't lose.

However, Xianbei has a large number of people, a relatively strong military force, and a single race, so they can work together to fight against foreign enemies.As for the coalition forces he led, there were Huns, Wusun people, Kucha people, Cheshi people, and other Western Regions people from different countries, large and small.

However, with the exception of the Huns, people from other countries were quite critical of him, a bit like being obedient and disobedient.The Wusun people are better, after all, he is the actual ruler of the Wusun country now, and most of the Wusun people are intermarried with the Huns. Relying on nepotism, the Wusun people will closely follow the pace of the Huns.

But people from other countries are not like this. They were all forced to submit because they were afraid of Hu Yanhui's force. Angry but dare not speak.

Just when Hu Yanhui was at his wit's end, one of his confidantes suddenly came in from the outside, saluted Hu Yanhui, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the rangers caught two suspicious people outside, and the two claimed to be They are envoys from the Han Dynasty who wanted to meet the king, but the rangers did not dare to neglect, so they brought the two men here, and they are now waiting outside the camp, asking for the king's decision."

"An envoy from the Han Dynasty?" Hu Yanhui has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and he no longer knows much about the movements of the Han Dynasty. However, due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty lost control over the Western Regions and even Liangzhou. This is Hu Yanhui It is very clear, otherwise, he would not have attacked other countries in the Western Regions so rampantly.

Hu Yanhui rolled his eyes, wondering why the envoy of the Han Dynasty came here suddenly?But no matter what, he still couldn't lose his etiquette, even though he had an enmity with the Han Dynasty, because it was the Han Dynasty that drove them out of the prairie.

Hu Yanhui held back the strong hostility, and said to his confidant: "Bring the envoy of the Han Dynasty in!"
