In eight years, the third prince has trained 10,000 people in the people, and the generals in the army are said to have controlled more than 10,000 troops.

Now that the Shache country is rising in the south, the Han Dynasty has also sent troops to the Western Regions, and the third prince said that it is a God-given opportunity for the rise of Wusun, so he no longer pretends to be sick, and under the cover of the imperial doctor, he left the palace, and the army and the righteous soldiers in the army have gone abroad to the direction of Shache. ”

After the imperial doctor finished speaking, the audience was surprised inexplicably, no one expected that the third prince, who was bedridden and looked at the third prince who was about to die at any time, would have such a deep scheming, and everyone was incredulous when the imperial doctor said this.

"Nonsense, this king didn't just call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but also invited a folk doctor to look for a doctor for the third prince everywhere, are these people also being co-opted by the third prince?" King Wusun said angrily.

"Because the third prince has already taken the poison prepared by the old imperial doctor." The Imperial Physician said.

"Then why are you still here? Didn't go with the third prince? I think it's because your imperial doctor is afraid that the third prince will die, and Your Majesty wants you to be buried with you. A civil official shouted angrily to the imperial doctor, and all the civil and military in the palace were dissatisfied with the imperial doctor's words, what righteous men, what patriotism, as if the people in the palace were all treacherous.

"Because I happened to be bedridden two days ago, and I couldn't follow the prince, otherwise I would have left early."

"Drag it down, slash." The king snorted coldly, and the two soldiers took the imperial doctor away, the imperial doctor's face was flat, he didn't plan to continue to live, the reason why he said it was because the prince had already gone abroad, and it was better for the Wusun army to chase it out, so that there would be more soldiers from Wusun going out.

This echoes the principle that the third prince made Wusun show toughness.

"You say. The third prince led his troops out of the country. What should I do with Wusun? Isn't it time to send an army to bring the third prince back? ”

"Never. Your Majesty. A civil official hurriedly came out: "The third prince has no royal order, and sending troops without permission is already a treasonous act, and it is even more unfilial and disloyal to practice soldiers privately behind His Majesty's back, how can we chase the third prince back, where is Your Majesty's prestige?"

The subordinates know that His Majesty loves his son, and he may not care about reputation. But it is also important for my Wusun's hundreds of years of inheritance, the third prince will definitely cause trouble when he goes out this time, if he angers Shache, the witch queen of Shache will lead a large army to my wizard to hold him accountable, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Yes, yes, please think twice, Your Majesty." After the civil official finished speaking, a large number of civil and military personnel immediately echoed it.

An older civil official stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks. Not only should we not chase the third prince back, but His Majesty should also cut off relations with the third prince. In this way, if the third prince does any misfortune, it will not affect my Wusun, and my Wusun's inheritance is not alone. ”

"The old man has a point." All the civil and military officers nodded one after another.

King Wusun looked at the sound of the whole house, and then looked at his seven stupid sons, and finally didn't say anything, and after thinking about it, he still issued an edict to sever relations with Mitian.

……

In the Tianshan Mountains, in May, the snow on the top of the mountain has not melted, and the glaciers in some places do not melt all year round, and the snow blocks many roads, and the Sichuan army has to detour.

But going around and around, Liu Zhang didn't know where he was, fortunately there was a compass, otherwise the whole army would really be lost, but now even if he knew where the south was, he didn't know where to go.

Liu Zhang and the army rested in place, eating some meat to replenish their strength by the way, Bao'er came back from a distance with people, Xiao Furong immediately stepped forward and said, "How is it?" ”

Bao'er shook her head, "There are also snow-capped mountains over there, the canyon in the middle is extremely steep, and there is no one at all, but there is a forest with a low mountain ten miles away, but it is too dense, I don't know if I can go out." ”

Walking in the jungle on the plateau is a very dangerous thing, this Liu Zhang has already tried, just came out of a jungle, the snow depression inside can instantly engulf the soldiers, more terrible than the swamp, some places are full of snow depressions for several miles, and the soldiers need to use ropes one by one, and use wooden sticks to carefully detect and bypass.

It took five or six days for the Sichuan army to get out of that jungle, and the straight-line distance was no more than ten miles, and now the Sichuan army no longer dared to walk through the snowy jungle.

"Lord, what should I do?" Wang Xu asked. The food brought out from the former country of Cheshi is enough for two months, and it has been more than 20 days now, if you can't reach the southern pulse of the Tianshan Mountains within a month, you will have to fight when you reach the southern pulse, and the Sichuan army will be more auspicious.

"Why don't you go back and bring food and come again, we have explored the road so far, next time we come, we can get here in half a month at most, and then continue walking." Vulture said.

Liu Zhang stood up and looked at the mountains in front of him with a frown, the peaks were towering, the mountains were lush and green, but the mountains were snow-capped, and the scenery of the Tianshan Mountains was very beautiful, but Liu Zhang was now trapped by this beauty.

"I just took a look at the canyon, about a mile or two away, if it really doesn't work, we can only build the plank road now." Liu Zhang said that it was impossible for Liu Zhang to return to the driver's division.

Everyone was silent, then it would take more than ten days, more than a month, to the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, if it was enough to capture a country in one fell swoop, if it was a little stalemate, it would be dangerous.

But there was no way, and it could only be so, and just as Liu Zhang was about to give the order to cut wood, a black dot slowly moved upward on the cliff in the distance.

Liu Zhang took a closer look, it was a person, and it was indeed a person.

Liu Zhang hurriedly walked over with a few personal soldiers, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was a girl who was picking medicine, carrying an open basket behind her back, and was climbing up with a sickle.

"Girl......"

"Ah......h

As soon as Liu Zhang shouted, the medicine girl was startled when she saw that a stranger suddenly appeared here, and the sickle fell down as soon as she let go.

The medicine girl was dropped in the air, but it was much closer to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang and his soldiers stood at the mouth of the cliff, and the girl fell outside the cliff, obviously the medicine girl climbed up from the cliff in front of Liu Zhang.

It's just that Liu Zhang looked at the canyon under the cliff in front of him, full of rocks and thorns, and it was not passable at all, where did this little girl come from, could it be a monster in the mountains? If the youkai still need to climb the mountain to collect medicine.

The medicine picking girl was already frightened, and when she saw Liu Zhang and the others holding weapons, she fell on the cliff in fear and forgot to move.

"Girl, we are Wusun's army and have lost our way in the Tianshan Mountains, can you help us point us to the south of the Tianshan Mountains?" Liu Zhang shouted at the girl more than ten meters away.

Wusun has no ambitions, and there should be no enemies, so Liu Zhang continued to use the name of Wusun.

"Are you really the Wusun Army?" The medicine picker girl looked at Liu Zhang and the others, obviously she can't go up or down now, if she continues to climb the mountain with a sickle, these soldiers give themselves an arrow, and they will be finished, so the medicine picker girl didn't move.

"Yes." Liu Zhang replied.

"Liar." The medicine girl observed Liu Zhang and the others with clear eyes before she said, "Wusun's spear has burrs, but yours doesn't." ”

Wusun used to have a close relationship with the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty also married several princesses to Wusun, who learned the system of the Han Dynasty and also learned the weapons of the Han Dynasty, but they did not have many iron tools, and most of them used bronze tools.

Even those iron tools have many burrs because they are not smelted well.

Liu Zhang didn't expect this girl to observe so carefully, and was about to argue, but the girl said: "And you, what do you look like a Wusun person?" ”

Liu Zhang was speechless for a moment, when the Sichuan army entered the Cheshi, because it crossed the semi-desert, all the veils were keeled, and at the same time, they also played a role in concealing their appearance, but they didn't expect to take off the veil during the Cheshi Qianguo ceremony, and now they have never worn it since they entered the Tianshan Mountains.

At this time, he deceived the medicine girl, and was instantly recognized, the Wusun people are Central Asian races, and their appearance is very different from that of the Central Plains, no wonder the medicine girl saw through it at a glance.

"You are Han people." The medicine girl added another sentence, fluent Chinese Wusun is not nothing, but there are not many, although Wusun is the most popular Chinese in the Western Regions, but the Chinese language is not pure.

Coupled with such a well-made spear and an oriental face, the medicine girl was easy to recognize.

Liu Zhang knew that it was meaningless to deny it, so he simply confessed: "That's right, this general is Liu Bi, a general under the command of the King of Shu of the Han Dynasty, and this is to mediate the dispute in the Western Regions. ”

Liu Zhang didn't dare to say that it was for the conquest of Shache, but said that it was mediation, so that even if he was a vassal of Shache countries, he should not refuse himself, so Liu Zhang would not believe that these countries really took refuge in Shache.

However, this time, the medicine picking girl did not doubt it anymore, but showed a look of surprise: "It's really the Han Army, it's really the Han Army, you actually came here, you wait, I'll show you the way." ”

But the medicine girl looked left and right, she couldn't reach the cliff where Liu Zhang was anyway, Liu Zhang immediately asked the soldier to throw out a rope, and the medicine girl grabbed it hard, and was pulled to the cliff by her own safety rope.

As soon as she landed, a smile appeared on the red face of the medicine picking girl.

"Are you out of the mountains? It's very close if you walk from here. ”

Liu Zhang glanced at the canyon that could not be crossed and the cliffs that were several miles long, and frowned: "Really? ”

"Of course, from here, there is a karst cave that runs through the mountain, as long as you go out of the mountain, you will soon be able to reach the southern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise you won't be able to get around it for half a month."

Liu Zhang listened to the words of the medicine girl, and immediately summoned all the soldiers to come over, hung the climbing rope off the cliff, and a team of soldiers slid down to explore the way, and the news came, sure enough, there was a cave, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army slid down the cliff one after another.
