"Young Master, be careful!" Adou hurriedly flashed to the front: "Young Master, let me go and have a look first!"

Regarding an A Dou who looked familiar, and whose origin was unknown, Zhang Yi first thought of it was that he might be an assassin.

"Zhang Yi, this man is injured!" Before Zhang Yi could pass, A Dou spoke first.

Sure enough, when the man was held close, a single smell of blood came out from him.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The two monks walked towards the temple with the injured in the middle. Adou naturally made way out. Then he turned around and found that there was a deep bone-scar on the back of the injured person.

"Huh... this scar... looks like a knife wound. Zhang Yi, have you noticed it? The scar is deep in the middle and shallow on both sides. Why is it so familiar?"

"Young Master, this seems like this is the wound caused by the weapons of those Jie people last time."

"Oh, by the way! I remembered that when I went to the Western Regions, the caravans from Anxu, Kucha and other places had very different escort weapons than those in our Central Plains. I think they could cause such wounds." Speaking of this, A Dou frowned: "Is it because there is a change in the Western Regions? Let's go forward and take a look."

At this time, the injured person had been carried to the yard.

"What's going on?" Lai Xinjueluo asked.

"Master, I found him outside the city. He was seriously injured at that time. My Buddha was compassionate, so we brought him here." One of the monks said.

At this time, a middle-aged monk came out of it. He was nine feet tall, strong, tall and straight nose, and deep eye sockets. He looked a bit like a Western Region.

The middle-aged monk walked up and carefully examined the wound, then spoke, "This is the wound left by the Wusun people. He was just too bleeding and exhausted. Push him in, and I will cook some blood-replenishing medicine and pour it into him first."

"Wusun?" A Dou in the distance also felt something was wrong when he heard the middle-aged monk's words. Wusun was far away from Yongzhou, and this man was injured by the Wusun people and actually ran to Chang'an City, Yongzhou. There was something strange about it.

Suddenly, Adou's mind was filled with a flash of inspiration.

"Zhang Yi, I remembered it. I have indeed seen this person."

"Honor has seen it?"

"If I remember correctly, this person should be a Di person. I had seen people from afar under Pu Lin's tent."

A Dou's memory is extraordinary, and he can definitely reach the point of never forgetting when he sees it. But this never forgetting when he sees it is also relative. Now he wants to remember something specifically, and he can indeed remember it without forgetting when he sees it. If he remembers anything he has seen in his heart, even a god cannot do it. So A Dou just saw this person familiar, and now he remembers it.

"Maybe there is a change from the Di people. Zhang Yi, let's go back first, and find Jingzhao Yin to send someone to investigate what happened."

The current Jingzhao Yin is named Pang Lin, who is Pang Tong's younger brother.

Pang Lin, like Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang and others, are also students of Lumen. When they were young, they also studied with Pang Degong. However, Pang Lin’s qualifications are far less than those of Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang. Of course, since they are from Lumen, they are much better than ordinary people.

When Liu Bei went to Yongzhou, he ordered Pang Lin to join the army. Later, Liu Bei captured Chang'an and appointed Pang Lin to be Jingzhao Yin. Although the official position of Jingzhao Yin didn't sound great, he just managed a Chang'an city, he actually had a heavy responsibility. This is like the Shuntian Prefecture of the Qing Dynasty in later generations. Although his official position was not very high, he had the power to go to court to discuss politics.

Letting Pang Lin be the prime minister of Jingzhao also shows that Liu Bei trusts Pang Lin, and it is also because he recognizes Pang Lin's talent. Although Pang Lin is not a talent of the prime minister, he is still more than enough to manage a hundred miles.

After receiving the imperial edict from Adou, Pang Lin immediately took people to the temple without saying a word. When Pang Lin arrived at the temple, the injured person had not yet woken up. He waited until dusk when the injured person woke up, and Pang Lin knew what was going on.

Pang Lin walked out of the temple with a pale face, and looked at the sky that was slowly shrouded in darkness. Among the several houses in the distance, you could faintly see the slight lights coming out of the room.

"This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty should not have a rest yet. It is still time to go right away!" Thinking of this, Pang Lin took a step forward and walked towards the palace.

Suddenly, Pang Lin stopped.

Pang Lin has not added a few times to this young emperor, let alone know nothing about it. The so-called accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If such a major thing is reported like this, if the emperor gets angry, Pang Lin will not be able to bear it.

Pang Lin waved his hand, called the servants beside him and said, "Go to the uncle and invite the uncle to the palace, and then say something big happened in the Western Regions!"

Seeing the servant running towards Pang Tong Mansion, Pang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he muttered in his heart: Brother, you have to go there quickly!

"Pang Aiqing, have the matter been found out?" A Dou asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, you've found out." Pang Lin swallowed, and a few drops of cold sweat gradually emerged from his head. You know, it's late autumn and early winter, and the lobby is relatively empty. Pang Lin sweats, which only means that he is too nervous.

"Pang Aiqing, don't be nervous, just say it slowly."

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to my investigation, the injured man was a Di person, a general under Pu Lin. The reason he came here was to ask Your Majesty for help."

"Call for help? What the hell is going on?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the Di people led troops to help me fight Cheriji that day. Lu Gui, the Di tribe, took advantage of the emptiness of the king's army and occupied the king's army. Then Lu Gui attacked the Pu family, but was ambushed by the Pu family and wiped out the entire army. Lu Gui was afraid that Fu Jian would take revenge after returning to the army, so he fled with his tribe. A few days ago, Lu Gui suddenly came back, and Lu Gui did not come back alone. He also brought 100,000 Wusun Jingqi!" Pang Lin said slowly.

"Wusun? Is it the Great Kunmi or the Small Kunmi?" A Dou asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's Xiao Kunmi."

The leader of Wusun is called Kunmi, also known as Kunmo. Kunmi means the emperor in Wusun language. Back then, the great man was secretly using a plan of separation, which caused Wusun to split into two divisions, Da Kunmi and Xiao Kunmi. Now, more than three hundred years have passed, Wusun still has not been unified.

The sphere of influence of Xiao Kunmi is to the west of Da Kunmi, closer to the counties in the Western Regions. Therefore, on weekdays, Xiao Kunmi is salivating about the Western Regions, but the Qiang people are powerful, and Xiao Kunmi is not the opponent of the Qiang people, so he has been enduring. Now that the Qiang people are defeated, Cheriji is even more dead, and the Qiang people are in the midst of division, which is a good opportunity for Xiao Kunmi.

At this time, Lu Guilai Tout, Lu Gui was familiar with the situation of the Di tribe. With Lu Gui's inner response, it was much easier for Xiao Kunmi to attack the Di people in the Western Regions. So Xiao Kunmi ignored the promise made by his ancestors with the Pu family and led 100,000 troops to attack the Di people.

On the Di side, Fu Jian's death also created a vacuum of power. Although Pu Lin's strength was strong, it was far from the point of covering the sky with one hand. Therefore, during this period, the Di people were also busy with the struggle for power, and were caught off guard by Wusun. Pu Lin had no choice but to send his generals to Chang'an and ask for help from Adou.

But the general who came was also unlucky. On the way to Yongzhou, he encountered a small army from Wusun. As a result, only this general himself successfully escaped, and was chopped by the Wusun people on his back. The Di general was also a tough guy, and he gritted his teeth and persevered to Yongzhou.

After listening to Pang Lin's narration, Adou became in a heavy mood. It was really a wave of things that had just settled and then started. Now that Yongzhou has just stabilized, the Wusun people have attacked.

At this moment, Xiaohuangmen quickly walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Pang is asking for a meeting!"

"Please!" Adou said only one word, then lowered his head and began to ponder.

Pang Tong walked in from outside in a swaying manner, with a slight smell of alcohol on his body. It can be seen that Pang Tong had a drink during dinner.

"See Your Majesty!" Pang Lin, who was next to the text after Pang Tong finished his tribute, said in a low voice: "Second, what happened to me?"

"Brother, this is the thing..." Pang Lin explained to Pang Tong in a low voice.

"What happened?" Pang Tong was also worried.

Since Liu Bei's conquest of Yongzhou, he has resisted Lu Xun, attacked the Southern Barbarians, flooded the Hu army, and attacked Cheliji, the war has never stopped in the past two years. Now Yongzhou is in a mess, and he needs money and food for everything. How can he withdraw extra money and food to go to the Western Regions to fight against Wusun!

But if you don’t care about Wusun and let it go, the entire Western Regions would probably fall into Wusun’s pocket. The Qiang, Di, and Jie people all lost a lot due to the war, which allowed Wusun, a little Kunmi, to dominate the Western Regions. There was really no tiger in the mountains, and monkeys were called kings.

Pang Tong had long seen that Adou was reluctant to give up the Western Regions, at least he would not give up the area east of Jiuquan, otherwise he would not have chosen to establish Jiayuguan. Based on Pang Tong's understanding of Adou, this battle is probably inevitable.

But war requires money and food. Although Shu can draw troops and horses now, where should we find this money and food?

Adou, who was above, took a breath slowly and said, "Taifu, can there be excess food and grass in the city now be used by the army for the army to go on expedition?"

Pang Tong shook his head: "If you march within this Yongzhou area, you can still squeeze out some food and grass, but if you go to the Western Regions, the food and grass will definitely be ineffective."

Adou lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "If there were only 10,000 people, how much food can we mobilize?"

Pang Tong thought for a while: "Your Majesty, if there are only 10,000 people, you can mobilize the food and grass for three months."

"What if there were ten thousand cavalrymen?"

"In two months, you can protect food and grass without worries!" Pang Tong replied again.

"Is it only two months?" A Dou fell into deep thought again.

After a stick of incense, Adou raised his head and said, "Come on the way to the General Cavalry Mansion!"

Below, Pang Tong's eyes flashed in his eyes, he looked at A Dou thoughtfully, and sighed slightly in his heart: Your Majesty, you are so courageous!

Since Ma Chao came to Chang'an City, he has become a popular figure in Chang'an City.

As the general of the cavalry, Ma Chao was second only to the general Guan Yu among military generals, and was still above Zhang Fei. It can be said that he was already a great minister. When it comes to his abilities, Ma Chao was even more famous all over the world. More importantly, Ma Chao is less than fifty years old this year and is in his prime.

Ma Chao's wife died at Yang Fu's hands that year, and Ma Chao's other concubines have never been properly promoted due to their background, so the position of Ma Chao's wife is still hanging in the air. So Ma Chao, the large diamond five, was immediately targeted. When Ma Chao came to Chang'an, not long after, someone came to propose marriage.

Those who dare to propose marriage to Ma Chao are all families with prominent families in Chang'an City, and ordinary families are naturally embarrassed to come. And those daughters are in their twenties and in their prime, Ma Chao is an old cow who eats young grass.

In the end, Ma Chao valued a daughter from a family named Wang. In fact, Ma Chao's new father-in-law was not as big as Ma Chao, but both parties didn't care at all. After all, there would be more political components in this kind of marriage.

Fortunately, Ma Chao was a handsome guy. Although he was a little older, he still had a handsome foundation. So when the Wang family's daughter saw Ma Chao, she took a fancy to Ma Chao at a glance. Coupled with Ma Chao's heroic deeds, this marriage was natural.

After all, Ma Chao is a general. Although there is no war now, he still will not relax at all. So when Adou came to Ma Chao's mansion, Ma Chao was taking the martial arts skills of several sons, while Ma Chao's new wife stood aside to serve.

When Ma Chao heard that Adou was coming, he immediately brought a few sons to greet him.

But unexpectedly, the first thing A Dou said when he saw Ma Chao was: "Ma Aiqing, I have something to ask you..."

A Dou and Ma Chao talked alone for a long time. A Dou stayed in Ma Chao's mansion until the middle of the night before leaving.

Afterwards, Ma Chao did not sleep, but sat quietly in the yard and began to carefully wipe the spear that had accompanied him for many years.

Mrs. Ma carried a cup of hot tea and gently walked to Ma Chao.

"Madam, sit down!" Ma Chao did not turn around.

"Husband, are you going to go to war?" Mrs. Ma asked.

Ma Chao did not answer positively, but put down the spear in his hand, grabbed Mrs. Ma's hand, and said, "Madam, it's cold, you should wear more shoes and clothes."

Mrs. Ma is also a smart person. Although Ma Chao didn't say it clearly, Mrs. Ma could guess a few points.

Mrs. Ma leaned gently into Ma Chao's arms and said slowly: "Husband, promise me that you must come back safely."

"Okay, I promise you!" Ma Chao looked at Mrs. Ma in his arms and said affectionately.

The ninth day of the 10th month.

In front of Chang'an City Gate, all civil and military officials gathered here, and everyone came to see Ma Chao off.

Adou took the official seal from the eunuch and handed it to Ma Chao. At the same time, he said loudly: "My dear Ma, today I will give you the Great General Fuyuan! I hope you can pacify the Western Regions for my great Han."

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will definitely wipe out Wusun to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" Ma Chao knelt down and took over General Fuyuan's seal with both hands.

"Ma Aiqing, Emperor Wu was awarded a champion marquis, who meant to be the best. Today I will grant you the Great General Fuyuan. From now on, you will be the general of my great Han to appease the border! Come and get the wine!" A Dou shouted softly.

The eunuch brought a large glass of wine. Adou took the wine glass and continued, "This glass of wine is my personal respect for you. I hope you can return triumphantly by Ma Aiqing!"
