Pang Tong accepted Zhang Yan's dispatch without hesitation, and at the same time, this is also a result that Pang Tong himself wants to achieve, he wants to take this opportunity to establish his own merits, although it is not as easy as the military exploits of going into battle to kill the enemy, but winning by strategy will make him leave a deep imprint in Zhang Yan's heart.

In fact, even Pang Tong himself is not very clear, Zhang Yan only brought himself with him this time, and left Xu Shu in Tianshui, and let Zhuge Liang join the army as Ma Teng.

After thinking about it, Pang Tong finally came up with an answer that he thought he was very satisfied with, that is, Zhang Yanqi weighed himself more than the other two people. And, from beginning to 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 had known that he was a person with great ambitions, full of wealth, and able to strategize.

His appearance is very mediocre, and the handsome Zhuge Liang and the tall Xu Shu, he can only be described in four words.

Pang Tong is not tall, and his appearance is not very good, anyway, his facial features seem to be put together, which makes him not good-looking.

Pang Tong used to be a person with low self-esteem, but since he met Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui, under the guidance of Sima Hui, he gradually became cheerful, and soon showed that he was superior to ordinary people, smart and studious, well-read and memorized, and able to remember.

His appearance and height left an eternal pain in his heart, and it was also his criticism. However, his broad forehead shows his superhuman intelligence, and he has a special penchant for military scripts and battle strategies. It became a subject of study that he worked hard to study. And look forward to that day. He can become the most admired and intelligent military advisor in the world, and he can easily change the course of the country with a casual decision.

And now, in this fertile soil of Zhang Yan, he is bound to grow into a towering tree, using his shade to shelter the tens of millions of people under the tree.

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

"This trip to Jiluo Mountain must be dangerous, how many soldiers and horses do you need?"

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

Pang Tong instantly returned to reality from his thoughts, and seeing Zhang Yanzheng looking at him expectantly, a thought quickly flashed in his mind, and he immediately replied: "I only need one person!" ”

After Zhang Yan heard this, he was stunned there, just now Pang Tong also suggested that he leave his troops to go to the area of Jiluo Mountain and cooperate with the Western Regions Alliance Army. Attacking Xianbei people back and forth, but at this time he only needs one person. Alone. What can I do?

"Shi Yuan, are you sure there is only one person?" Zhang Yan asked solemnly.

Pang Tong nodded heavily.

Zhang Yan said: "So what kind of person do you want?" ”

"A person who can be proficient in Xiongnu and Western Regions." Pang Tong said.

Zhang Yan glanced at the horseman Ayub not far away, and knew that this person was none other than him, so he called out directly: "Ayub, come over for a moment." ”

When Ayub heard Zhang Yan call him, he immediately rode his horse to Zhang Yan's side, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Yan, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "Ayub, you are from the Western Regions, you should be able to speak the Western Regions, right?" ”

Ayub said in a less pure Chinese: "This is my mother tongue, so I can speak it naturally." ”

"Can the Huns speak?" Zhang Yan asked.

"Yes, but not much, and basically there is no problem with communication." Ayup.

After all, Ayub is the prince of Dawan, and he can be regarded as an aristocratic class, and his ability to speak Xiongnu is entirely due to the good aristocratic education of Dawan. Dawan is one of the countries in the Western Regions, and there are many countries in the surrounding areas, and various languages come together, often running in and developing for a long time, and gradually form a common language in all countries in the Western Regions, which is the Western Regions dialect. But initially, the countries of the Western Regions were all subordinated to the Xiongnu, so the people of the Western Regions basically had to learn to speak the Xiongnu dialect. Later, the Han people came to the Western Regions and defeated the Xiongnu, and Han became a popular language for the people of the Western Regions to learn. However, 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 would have been able to master the Xiongnu dialect very proficiently by now.

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

"Never give up!" Ayub said.

Zhang Yan then explained to Ayub what he was going to send him to do, and after hearing about this appointment, Ayub was very excited and expressed his willingness to go to Jinweishan with Pang Tong to act as an interpreter for Pang Tong.

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

And Zhang Yan rushed back to Juyan City with the army and prisoners, although there was no Ayub to lead the way, but to cross the Gobi, it is not a difficult task, before leaving, Ayub specially drew a map for Zhang Yan, let Zhang Yan follow the road map, will definitely be able to get out of this Gobi.

However, this time, Zhang Yan belonged to the family with his family, and there were a large number of prisoners and a lot of supplies, so the speed of walking slowed down, and 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 garrison Juyan City, and brought 10,000 soldiers, Ma Gang learned that Zhang Yan had returned, so he took the initiative to go to greet him, and the group was all combined into one, and for the prisoners, proper arrangements were made, so that Ma Gang took these Xianbei prisoners and migrated to the Wuwei area, where they were tuntian.

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

At the same time, Pang Tong and Ayubu had already arrived at Jinwei Mountain, but they had to avoid the Xianbei people, so they went out day and night, and it took a long time to find out where the Western Regions Coalition Army was located.

Jinwei Mountain is the ancient name for the Altai Mountains, which straddle the territory of China, Mongolia, Russia and part of Kazakhstan. From the Gobi (desert) to Western Siberia. It stretches for nearly 4,000 miles. It is trending in the northwest and southeast, while the runoff in the middle of the Altai Mountains is rich, and the Irtysh River and the Ulungu River are developed, and the water flow in the territory is relatively rich. In addition, the topography of the Altai Mountains is divided into mountainous sub-desert zone, montane steppe zone, montane forest zone and alpine zone, and there are steppes in the territory. There are forests, mountains, rivers, a variety of birds and animals, and rich mineral resources, so this area has become one of the paradises of nomads.

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

Jinwei Mountain (Altai Mountain), which used to be a nomadic paradise, has now become a nightmarish region, with the Western Regions coalition led by Xianbei and Hu Yanhui facing off on both sides of Jinwei Mountain. The open grassland area in the Jinwei Mountains became the main battlefield of the battle between the two sides.

The two sides have been fighting for almost half a month, and they have won and lost each other. Tens of thousands of casualties were killed and wounded almost every day, and before the corpses on the prairie could be cleaned up, the war began so quickly that blood stained every inch of the prairie.

At night, the grassland is densely covered with wolves, a pair of dark green eyes are shining, greedily burying their heads between the piles of corpses, using their sharp teeth, tearing 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 garrison of the Western Regions Alliance Army brought by Hu Yanhui, and it is brightly lit at night.

Pang Tong and Ayub rode war horses, and under the leadership of the rangers of the Western Regions Alliance, they came to the camp of the Western Regions Alliance.

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

At this moment, Hu Yanhui was at a loss to drink stuffy wine in the big tent, he and the Xianbei people fought for half a month, and they won and lost each other, but the Western Regions Alliance Army won less and lost more after all, and the Western Regions Alliance Army, which was not very popular with the people, almost fell to the bottom at this time.

It is precisely for this reason that Hu Yanhui has not made any more military moves in the past two days and has not launched a battle.

If he can't capture Jinwei Mountain this time and become the controller of this area, then he will most likely not be able to raise his head, and he can't afford to lose this battle, and he can't lose.

However, the Xianbei people are numerous, the military strength is relatively strong, and the race is single, and they can work together to fight against foreign enemies. As for the coalition army he led, there were Huns, Wusun, Qiuzi, Cheshi, and other people from different countries in the Western Regions.

However, except for the Huns, people from other countries were quite scornful of him, and they had a bit of a taste of yang and yin. The Wusun people are a little better, after all, he is now the de facto ruler of the Wusun country, and most of the Wusun people intermarry with the Huns, relying on nepotism, the Wusun people will closely follow the steps of the Huns.

But the people of the rest of the countries are not like this, they are all forced to surrender because they are afraid of Hu Yanhui's force, and they are not very convinced in their hearts, and now the army has suffered heavy casualties, which makes them even more resentful, but they dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Just when Hu Yanhui had nothing to do, one of his henchmen suddenly walked in from outside, and after saluting Hu Yanhui, he said: "King Qiqi, the rangers caught two suspicious people outside, those two people claimed to be messengers from the Han Dynasty, and wanted to meet the king, the rangers did not dare to slack off, so they brought those two people, and now they are 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 doesn't know so much about the movements of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty lost control of the Western Regions and even Liangzhou due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which Hu Yanhui knows very well, otherwise, he would not have attacked the rest of the Western Regions so rampantly.

Hu Yanhui's eyes flickered, and he wondered how the envoy of the Han Dynasty could suddenly come here? But no matter what, he still can't lose his courtesy, although he has a grudge against the Han Dynasty, because it was the Han Dynasty that expelled them from the steppe.

Hu Yanhui held back the strong hostility, and said to his henchmen: "Bring in the envoys of the Han Dynasty!" (To be continued......)
