In the third century B.C., the Loulan people established the Loulan Kingdom, and the ruler was the Yueshi.

At that time, Loulan was a small country among the 36 countries of the Western Regions, sandwiched between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. Suffering from the war between the two countries.

In order to survive, Loulan has no willpower and rights, and strives to survive in the gap between the two countries.

In 177 BC, the Xiongnu defeated the Yueshi. The Yueshi moved westward. The Xiongnu took control of Loulan and constantly harassed and plundered the border of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty suffered from the looting of the Xiongnu.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che succeeded to the throne, the country was rich and the people were strong, and he fully possessed all kinds of favorable conditions for the expedition against the Xiongnu. But the Han dynasty knew very little about the situation of the Xiongnu. It's just that a small amount of information about the Western Regions is known among the surrendered Xiongnu, and this information is about the Yueshi.

The Huns said that there was a country in the Western Regions, the Yueshi, after being defeated by the Xiongnu, fled like the West and settled in the Western Regions for a generation. They are desperate for revenge, but there is no one to help them.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned the news, he thought that the Yueshi was in the west of the Xiongnu, and if he could unite with the Yueshi and cut off the connection between the Xiongnu and the countries in the Western Regions, then the expedition to the Xiongnu would be twice as effective with half the effort.

So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to solicit capable people to contact Yueshi. However, at that time, no one knew where Yueshi was, nor did they know how far it was. No one dares to take on such a heavy responsibility.

At this time, Zhang Qian, an attendant officer beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, recommended himself to take on this important task. Although Zhang Qian was only a small attendant, he was very pioneering and adventurous, and he was tolerant, honest, and persevering.

In 139 BC, Zhang Qian led more than 100 followers, and the father of the Huns as a guide, set off from Chang'an to the Western Regions.

Zhang Qian traveled west to the Hexi Corridor, which was originally the territory of the Yueshi, and after the Yueshi traveled west, the Xiongnu took control of this area. When Zhang Qian and his party hurried through the Hexi Corridor, they unfortunately ran into the Huns' cavalry. The Huns brought Zhang Qian to the royal court.

After Shan Yu learned that Zhang Qian wanted to send an envoy to Yue's clan, he didn't want Zhang Qian to pass through the place of the Huns and send an envoy to Yue's clan anyway. But because Zhang Qian was an envoy of the Han Dynasty, Shan Yu did not kill him. So Zhang Qian and others were put under house arrest.

In order to dispel Zhang Qian's idea of sending Yue's envoy, Shan Yu coerced and lured Zhang Qian and adopted various means. even married a Xiongnu woman for Zhang Qian and gave birth to a child. did not wear down Zhang Qian's will. Zhang Qian never forgot the mission of the Yue Clan.

Because the Huns took strict precautions against Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian never had a chance to escape, so he was under house arrest in the Huns for ten years.

One day ten years later, Zhang Qian finally found an opportunity to escape from the control of the Huns. Continue westward in search of Yueshi.

It is only in this decade that the situation in the Western Regions has changed dramatically. After moving west, the Yue clan was defeated by Wusu in the Western Regions, so they had to continue westward to Bactria and conquer Bactria by defeating the rulers of Bactria and occupying Bactria .

Zhang Qian passed through several countries in the Western Regions, suffered many hardships, and finally reached the Yueshi.

Zhang Qian explained his intention to the king, but because of the abundance of water and grass in Daxia, they had already lived a nomadic life, and were content with this life, and had long forgotten their hatred of the Xiongnu.

The king expressed his thoughts, but Zhang Qian did not give up. He stayed in the Yueshi and tried to persuade the king to reach an agreement.

During Yue's stay, Zhang Qian told the Yueshi people what he had seen and heard along the way and the customs of the Han Dynasty. And taught many advanced techniques of the Han Dynasty to Yueshi. Zhang Qian's rich knowledge and profound knowledge soon spread in the Yue clan.

At the same time, it also deeply attracted the king's two daughters, now the queen of Loulan Kingdom, Yuexi and her sister, Yueying.

Yue's beauty, Yuexi and Yueying are the best among the beauties, known as the two Yue's flowers. Any adult man, just by looking at them, will be captivated by their beauty.

The king has no sons, and Yuexi, as the king's eldest daughter, becomes the heir to the throne, and already has a fiancé, but is not yet married.

Yueying is Yuexi's younger sister, and she is the age when love first blossoms. Yuexi is already a flower and a moon, and Yueying is better than Yuexi.

Growing up in the favor of the king and Yuexi, Yueying is kind-hearted, tolerant and benevolent. Therefore, Yueying is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has a lively and cheerful personality, smart and lovely, and has a heart full of curiosity about the outside world. And Zhang Qian's arrival just satisfied her curiosity.

The Yue clan is not like the Han Dynasty, where women have a low status. On the contrary, the Yueshi not only equalized men and women, but also had a high status as the daughter of the king of the Yueshi.

Yueying knew about Zhang Qian's existence, so she often pestered Zhang Qian to tell interesting stories about the characters of the Han Dynasty, customs, agricultural science and technology, etc., and even under Zhang Qian's professor, she actually raised silkworms and learned to weave. It has also experimented with the cultivation methods of a variety of crops and so on. Such a Yue Ying is becoming more and more famous in the Yue Clan, and has even been given a legend.

Yueying saw another world in Zhang Qian's body, which constantly gave her new knowledge and strength. Her heart is full of a steady stream of strength and satisfaction, and at the same time, she is becoming more and more dependent on Zhang Qian, and spending more and more time with Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian is not a person who is easily moved by beauty, but he has to be moved when he sees Yueying. Coupled with a long period of intimacy, Zhang Qian also had a good impression of Yueying and slowly fell in love with her.

Love is sweet and beautiful, especially for Yueying, who is the first to taste love. All this was not like a dream, she put her whole heart on Zhang Qian's body. Unmoved by the pursuit of the countless princes and grandsons of the Yue clan, he also turned a deaf ear to the advice of the king and Yuexi.

And Zhang Qian has experienced the vicissitudes of the world and has never forgotten his mission. No matter how Yue Ying retained, a year later, because she did not reach an agreement with Yue, she still decided to leave Yueshi and return to the Han Dynasty.

After Zhang Qian left, Yueying's soft intestines were broken, and she waited stupidly.

In 119 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions. At this time, the Xiongnu had been defeated under the attack of the Han Dynasty. When Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was no longer the same, he united with the Yue clan to crusade against the Xiongnu, but carried out economic and cultural exchanges with the countries of the Western Regions.

Zhang Qian brought a large number of silk, porcelain and other items from the Central Plains and advanced production methods, and passed these items and production methods to the various countries he passed through, and were welcomed by all countries.

During this period, many countries have retained Zhang Qian, but he has not stopped his steps. In the days when he returned to the Han Dynasty, he never forgot the beautiful and kind Yueying.

So this westward trip, what he wants to reach most is Yue's, goodbye Yueying.

And Lin Mo is the guard general in the westward journey this time. (To be continued.) )
