From the Beiting Grassland through the Xingxing Gorge, you will enter Guazhou.

Star Gorge. The mountains are undulating, and the red maple leaves are blown abundantly, and in this cold autumn, there seems to be a flame rushing.

In a team of about 4,000 people, as soon as they walked out of the dangerous Star Gorge, there were bursts of cheers at the end of the procession.

Walking out of Xingxing Gorge, although it is still in the eastern corner of the Western Regions, it can be regarded as entering the Hexi Corridor. Guazhou is not far away. Hundreds of miles south of Guazhou is Dunhuang, an important town in Hexi.

In the team, there are caravans brought by Jia Huan from Broken Leaves, such as the caravans of the Guo family and the Han family, whose roots are in Dunhuang. How can they not cheer when they return home across thousands of miles? It's late autumn.

At the beginning of July, the army of the Korean Dynasty on the expedition to Mobei won a victory and began to return north. Jia Huan received a letter from Qi Dashuai in the Mid-Autumn Festival of August and set off for Beiting Jinman. In mid-September, after the sacrifice in Jinman County, Qi Chi went to Beijing to narrate, and offered his majesty a prisoner.

Jia Huan took 500 personal soldiers, and returned east with Shi Yuhua, Qian Huai, Hu Xiaosi, Zhang Sishui, Yi Junjie and others. Shen Qian, Yang Dayan, Hu Chi and others were all entourage.

In addition to the large number of caravans that followed, there was also a Western Regions polo team in the team, which was preparing to go to the capital to compete.

In the Western Regions, Zeng Jigao presided over military affairs in Broken Leaves. Day-to-day government affairs are handled by the three divisions. Leba was stationed in Samarkand to guard against the arrival of the Persians.

Zhang Sishui knew that Jia Huan would not return to the Western Regions this time, so he resigned as a judge and followed Jia Huan back east.

Pang Ze, Liu Yichen, Qin Hongtu, Huang Guan and others stayed in the Western Regions to hold official positions.

The cheers at the end of the line were infectious to the real team. In the Chinese army, Qi Chi was dressed in gray robe and civilian clothes, riding a horse, twisting his beard and smiling, full of spirit, and ordered: "We will go to Beishan to pay tribute to the soldiers and then go to Jiayuguan." The caravan can go to Dunhuang at his own convenience. He who goes to the Central Plains with me will catch up with us as soon as possible. ”

The herald passed on Qi Chi's order. In the team, a caravan of nearly 1,000 people seized the time, separated and went to Dunhuang.

Qi Chi and Jia Huan chatted, and when they remembered the Battle of Beishan, they sighed: "Ziyu, the sacrificial words you wrote in Jinman County are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" ”

In the past three years, the heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty who died in the war in the Western Regions and the resistance to the oppression of the Hu people have been immortalized.

Over the past 30 years, the Han heroes who died in the Western Regions against the oppression of the Hu people have been immortalized.

Going back 300 years, since then, the people's heroes who sacrificed their lives in the previous struggles to defend the Western Regions, safeguard the integrity of the country, and strive for the freedom and happiness of the Han people are immortal.

Hu Chi smiled and nodded. This inscription is written quite powerfully! It will surely go down in history! Wenzong of the National Dynasty.

Jia Huan was slightly solemn and said: "Dashuai, it's not that I write well, I just write that emotion truthfully." ”

Qi Chi nodded, looked at the North Mountain in front of him, and sighed with indescribable emotion!

Yongzhi went to the Western Regions in the eighteenth year, and returned in the winter of the twentieth year of Yongzhi. It lasted three years. These three years have been three years of bloody war. It's the three years of Jin Ge Iron Horse! The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!

…

…

In late October, the team of Qi Chi and Jia Huan walked out of the Hexi Corridor and arrived at the Guanzhong Plain. Everywhere I went, I was warmly welcomed.

Pravda, the pacification of the Western Regions, the victory of the expedition to Mobei, a big book! This is the ultimate martial arts of the national dynasty. Catch up with the Tang Dynasty.

A cold winter envelops the land of Guanzhong. Although it was hot and there was no snow, during the journey, people and horses exhaled a thick white air.

Outside a post station on the official road, Jia Huan, Shen Qian, and Zhang Sishui were roasting fires in the wild. Yang Dayan, Gao Zizhong and other personal guards guarded them. Two sheep were spinning on the fire, sprinkled with cumin and spices, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi turned hard, and the skin of the mutton was already roasted to golden brown. Hu Xiaosi said: "Third master, second master Shen, it's almost ready." ”

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, looked at the gloomy night sky, and said, "After passing the Guanzhong Plain, and then going out of Tongguan, it is Luoyang." We are all cavalry, straight to the North China Plain, and before the end of the year, we can rush back to Beijing. ”

Shen Qian had a mustache, handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, extremely outstanding, and said with a smile: "I thought you would think about going to Jinling first." ”

He thought of his fiancée Jia Tanchun, and remembered that he was in the capital that day, and he often walked around Jia's mansion. Three years later, who would have thought of this kind of life encounter?

Jia Huan just smiled. His letter from home has already been sent to Jinling. Sister Bao, they should receive it.

It's just that Jia's mother died in October of the seventeenth year of Yongzhi, and the three-year filial piety period of the political father has just arrived, when will he go to Beijing? As soon as the filial piety period was completed, I was in a hurry to go to the capital, but I was afraid that the political father would be afraid of others talking, right?

Especially in the context of the great decline of the power of the four major families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue. Wang Ziteng sent troops from Yulin, lost thousands of soldiers, and was reprimanded by Wei Qihou Xingwen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. This involves the struggle between the old and new martial arts groups.

Jinling October. Derun Fang Jia Fuzhong.

Jia Zheng, Ding Wei's former political envoy at home, called Jia Lian over to discuss in the morning. In the study, the winter is soft.

Jia Zheng is in his fifties, dressed in a gray Confucian shirt, wearing a virtuous crown, white sideburns, and an elegant bearing. It's a little twilight. His ambition in his career has also disappeared with the worries of the past three years.

"Lian'er, this is your brother's letter from Huan, take a look."

Jia's mother died, and she had to guard the branch of Rongguofu that had been filial piety for three years. Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun and others are all in Beijing to take care of the family business of the two mansions. Jia Lian ran errands in front of Jia Zheng. As for Jia Baoyu. Jia Zhengli didn't call him.

Jia Lian is wearing a gorgeous cyan brocade robe, with red lips and white teeth, three years later, he is still a handsome and dashing son.

He has lived an extremely comfortable life in the past three years. There is no him above, and Jia Yu makes trouble for him from time to time.

Jiafu is in Jinling, thanks to the ring brothers, the network is very large. As the man in charge of the outside of Jiafu, he lives freely.

In the house, Sister Feng and he have a boy, and they are more focused on their son. Her temper doesn't change. likes to press him, but now how is the Jia family compared to the Wang family? In the end, it was almost confident. He endured it and passed.

Jia Lian took the letter, in which Jia Huan suggested that Jia Zheng set off for Beijing to complete Jia Tanchun's marriage, and it was not appropriate to delay it any longer.

Jia Lian pondered for a while and said, "Master, our family is a family in Beijing after all. Besides, Brother Huan'er is going back. ”

Jia Zheng was moved, and twisted his beard and said, "Yes! ”

The news then spread throughout Jia Province. Depart from Jinling, go to Jingshi, take the waterway, and the normal itinerary can be reached in one month.

…

…

Capital.

The cold weather made Chang Chao a chore. In the early morning, the elderly Zhang Anbo was ready to go out under the service of his son Zhang Chengjian. He is seventy-five years old. Suddenly, I remembered something, "Bo Miao, when will Ziyu arrive?" ”

Zhang Chengjian's chubby figure has not been convenient at all in the past three years, and he said with a smile: "Father, there is a report in Pravda. Back at about the end of the year. ”

Zhang Anbo shook his head and sighed lightly: "He should be back later." "In the court, the wind and rain are urgent. Supported by the old servant, he took a carriage to the palace.
