Ren Hong knew that in the later years of Emperor Wu of Han, after several expeditions to the north of the desert, the confrontation between the Han and the Hungarian empires had changed from direct confrontation to the struggle against the Western Regions.

The Han Dynasty was bound to implement the strategy of "cutting off the right arm of the Huns" to the end. This arm in Hexi will continue to extend westward, firmly keeping the Western Regions in the palm of the palm, and seizing the Huns' palace.

Fu Jiezi's mission also verified his guess:

"Fu Jiezi's mission is just the beginning. In the next ten years, the Han and the Huns will surely be in the Western Regions. For the children of border counties, a good opportunity to make contributions to the foreign lands is here again!"

The opportunity has appeared, but with Ren Hong's current humble status, he can't get over it at all. He still needs a little help.

Ren Hong said to Xia Dingmao: "In the past, Zhang Qian was buried in the Western Regions and became the Marquis of Bowang. Mr. Xia, I believe that Fu Jiezi is the current Bowang!"

"I hope to take the opportunity to be appreciated by Fu Jiezi, and then go to the city and the country to gain fame and fortune!"

The reason why he is so sure is that Ren Hong knew that Fu Jiezi would soon make extraordinary achievements in the Western Regions and be famous in history. He would be compared with Zhang Qian by his descendants and be a model of title for marquis in foreign countries.

This is the clearest and closest memory point of Ren Hong’s era.

This time, it will be useless to get the credit.

“It’s too risky.”

This was Xia Dingmao's first reaction after hearing Ren Hong's plan. After he remained silent for a while, his gray head shook into a rattle.

"The Western Regions are far away. Ten people are often less than five people coming back. The gentleman is the last blood of the Ren family. He almost died when he encountered a sandstorm last time. The Western Regions are dangerous and even better than Dunhuang. If..."

It was a surprise that time. Ren Hong was a little helpless. At this time, they had already walked into the poplar forest in the south of Xuanquan. This was the most common tree in the Dunhuang area. It was called Hutong in the Han Dynasty.

Only such strong tree species can thrive in harsh environments.

Just like the immigrants exiled to Dunhuang, they are not good men and women, filial sons and virtuous grandsons...

Ren Hong thought about how to convince Xia Dingmao. After all, he still needed his help, so he patted the poplar tree that was as hard as a stone and said:

"I am the grandson of the criminal, and according to the law, I should be imprisoned for three generations!"

"You can only be a junior official, not a senior official! You must not be a filial and honest official."

A stern man was placed in a rank of 100 stones, and all the following were young officials.

Although Ren Hong likes Xuan Quanzhi very much, he has regarded this as home in half a year, it is terrible to be able to see the life of the head in his life.

Xia Dingmao didn't think so. The weather was too hot. He sat on a dead poplar tree trunk, took off the white gauze head to wipe the sweat, revealing the wrinkles on his forehead that were as deep as a ravine, and murmured:

"There is nothing wrong with the young official. In the past six months, the gentleman has purchased new cooking utensils for the East Kitchen and taught the old servants how to eat. The old servant said that the two thousand stones in Chang'an may not be as varied as us. Instead of going back to intrigue and fear, it is better to be free and comfortable in the border area."

"I want to make a name for myself, not for the enjoyment of high-ranking officials and generous salaries."

Ren Hong bowed heavily to him: "If I were just a mere young official in this life, how could I be the grandfather of my ancestors and Ren family be the ones who were in trouble?"

Xia Dingmao was stunned and then moved: "It turns out that a gentleman has always remembered this!"

"The ninth generation of hatred was a great enemy in the spring and autumn. The eldest father died unjustly. It was only more than ten years ago. How dare you forget it?"

Looking at the distance under the heat waves, some phantoms hanging in the spring, Ren Hongdao:

"Mr. Xia, let me talk to you again, my eldest father is about Shaoqing..."

...

"The head of the family was originally from Xingyang County, Henan County. He was rushing around to make a living when he was fifteen years old and was a servant. He drove to Guanzhong and thought that was the place where the heroes' husband should stay, so he stayed in Youfufeng."

Speaking of the past, Xia Dingmao rarely smiled:

"But the head of the family came for the first time and had no way to be an official, so he could only serve in Wugong County."

Every adult man in the Han Dynasty had the obligation to serve, but he could also hire someone to replace him, and even a business was born...

"The head of the family started by asking for robbery, and his father was the one who solved several cases and became the head of the pavilion. He was the most meager."

Ren Hong nodded, but muttered in his heart:

"The pavilion chief is not young..."

Although the pavilion chiefs of the Qin and Han dynasties were only local grassroots units and were equivalent to township police officers, they were able to master military skills and make friends with heroes. In the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, many people started their own business.

For example, that black...

The dark-hearted Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang!

Naturally, Ren Shaoqing could not compare to Emperor Gao, but his experience was also very inspiring in a peaceful environment.

According to Xia Dingmao, Ren Shaoqing was agile and managed the evil teenagers in the Pavilion, deployed hunting sites for the villagers, and distributed elks, chickens and rabbits fairly, which was praised.

This took ten years and was promoted to the three elders in the county. Ten years later, he was promoted to the magistrate of Wugong for being close to the people.

However, later, Emperor Wu of Han went to Wugong, and Ren Shaoqing was dismissed from office because of his poverty in Wugong County and could not bear to blame the people, so he did not prepare enough tents.

This is really a disaster. Emperor Wu of Han likes to run around the world like Emperor Qin Shi Huang. He has caused trouble to the public and the people.

Ren Hong once heard several soldiers from Hedong who were from Hedong and went to Dunhuang and mentioned that there was a Hedong county magistrate who had not prepared for the reception during his tour of the hunting ceremony and hanged himself in despair.

Ren Shaoqing just lost his official position and was lucky.

I heard Xia Dingmao continue: "After the head of the family was dismissed from his official position, he was the sect of General Wei."

General Wei was Wei Qing, who was the servant of him and Huo Qubing. This was probably the fastest advancement rank at that time.

Unlike the unlucky and tragic Li Guang, if you are alone, you can share many military achievements.

But the problem is that when you enter the Wei family, it is like applying a layer of paint and you will never be able to erase it in your life. This is probably the beginning of Ren Shaoqing's tragedy.

Later, Ren Shaoqing was really favored by the emperor and his official career became prosperous.

He served as the governor of Yizhou and punished many powerful and evil officials. In a case in Shu County, he also saved Xia Dingmao's family, who had become a mine slave.

Since then, Xia Dingmao followed Ren Shaoqing and became his private servant.

A few years later, Ren Shaoqing was appointed as the captain of the Northern Army's Guardian Army, with a rank of 2,000 stones.

Then, the witchcraft disaster that made Chang'an crowds...

As an eyewitness, Xia Dingmao still felt a little palpitation when recalling the situation at that time: "At that time, the Prince of Wei had killed Jiang Chong and sent troops to cause chaos, while the left prime minister Liu Quqi was ordered by Emperor Xiaowu to besiege the official army. The two sides fought in the streets and alleys, and Chang'an was in chaos, and tens of thousands of dead..."

Ren Hong understood the truth: "At this time, the Northern Army under the supervision of Dafu became the key to victory or defeat?"

The Northern Army was the elite of the Han Dynasty's permanent army. It had eight schools including the garrison, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Hu cavalry, Shooting, and Huben. Ren Shaoqing was the chief lieutenant of the army, and was responsible for supervising the eight schools.

More than a hundred years ago, the Grand Marshal Zhou Bo relied on the talisman of seizing the Northern Army to wipe out Zhu Lu.

Therefore, if Prince Wei wants to make a desperate bet, the first thing he has to fight for is Ren Shaoqing, who is born in the Wei family and holds the military power of the Northern Army!

Xia Dingmao scratched his head and said, "These old servants don't understand very well, but at that time, Prince Wei did take a car to the south gate of the northern army, summoned the head of the family, handed him to Fu Jie, and ordered him to send troops. I followed the head of the family to go out of the camp, and the head of the family bowed to Prince Wei and accepted Fu Jie, but after returning to the camp, he stayed in the door..."

It seems that Ren Shaoqing maintained a neutral attitude in this incident, did not help the prince or the official army.

I and my son have a fight, and he doesn't want to get involved.

"The head of the family is a fraud to be punished and not send troops, not to help the prince, and Emperor Xiaowu has never pursued him."

But after Prince Wei was defeated, the situation changed.

"The head of the family had whipped the Northern Army's ration officer for a mistake. The grain officer was resentful, so he took the opportunity to write a letter to accus the head of the family, saying that he accepted the prince's talisman, promised to send troops, and asked for the position of the Nine Ministers afterwards. He gave up only when he saw that Prince Wei was unfavorable."

Xia Dingmao said in a titular manner: "After hearing this, Emperor Xiaowu believed it, and believed that the head of the family was a worldly official. When he saw the prince raised an army, he wanted to sit and see whoever wins, and he would support whoever wins. He had two hearts. So he put the head of the family in prison and interrogated and was killed in more than a month!"

This is Ren Shaoqing's life.

Although Ren Hong also heard about Xia Dingmao's mention of his deeds in the past, this was the most detailed time.

"This emperor..." Ren Hong secretly complained that Emperor Wu of Han was violent and changeable.

For example, in the witchcraft disaster, all those who assisted Prince Wei will be basically killed.

Ren Shaoqing and others who were not helping each other have two hearts and kill them!

After the liquidation, the group of people who attacked Prince Wei the most diligent, and the left prime minister Liu Quqi was also beheaded and destroyed...

Okay, as long as you get this Majesty and get caught in this muddy water, no matter how you choose, you will never get out of it.

Even though Emperor Wu of Han died, Huo Guang, a general with a relative of the Wei family, came to power, but the witchcraft still did not overturn the case!

Ren Shaoqing is still charged with the crime of "rebel minister".

Ren Hong, the son of a criminal, was exiled to Dunhuang, imprisoned by the system, and was highly restricted in promotion.

Xia Dingmao is old and when he mentions the old master, he feels very sad for a moment, and tears wet the sand on the soles of his feet.

This is how the past happens, making people cry and laugh.

After Ren Hong comforted Xia Dingmao for a while, he asked again:
