Not long after Lu Jia left Kangju, he received news from Qi Hu.

Lu Jia's face, which had always been calm, also changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He is the backbone of this team, and he himself cannot panic at any time.

"Message confirmed?" Lu Jia asked gloomily.

"Basically, it's certain that the other party is Dawan's big family, and we have also inquired, Dawan does have such a big family!" Qi Hu nodded directly in affirmation.

"yes, I see!" Lu Jia nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This Dawan country is really interesting.

However, this Atuoli's vision is also quite good, and he can see through the true intentions of the big man.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that now that Lu Jia is sure, their return trip will not be too smooth.

But the original plan has been formulated, and the people have dispersed, and then going to temporarily change the itinerary is very bad for the image of the big man.

Therefore, he still had to continue to go according to the original itinerary.

However, fortunately, King Dawan finally changed his mind and changed from the tactic of blocking in batches of three countries to a unified blocking.

Of course, there are benefits to doing so.

For example, if the other two countries disagree, then they can pretend that it did not happen, and they will not anger the big man.

And walking on the land of the Western Regions, Lu Jia has already found the way.

I didn't plan to do it in such a hurry.

But now, he didn't dare to take any more risks.

So, Lu Jia made a quick decision and immediately arranged a group of people to carry a small amount of white stacks and a large number of white stack seeds.

These seeds were stored in the bodies of fifty people, and in any case, as long as one person could return to Dahan alive and bring these seeds back, their mission would be completed.

Originally, Lu Jia wanted to bring a lot of them back, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible.

The next thing for them may be a dead knot.

"Land envoy, why not change the route? Or let's go directly to the north, pass through the northern border of Wusun, and then we can go back to Yunzhong County directly! Someone began to suggest.

According to the original route plan, they needed to cross the entire Dawan country first, and then go west.

Although it is not necessary to pass through Wusun and Qiuzi, it is also along their southern border.

At this time, if they send troops, it will be easy to stop the mission.

Although the combat effectiveness of these people is not bad, no matter how high the combat effectiveness is, it is only more than 800 people, and the three countries each send 5,000 troops.

"The north is absolutely not to go, before departure, His Majesty specially explained to the envoy, the court will use troops against the Huns next, no matter what the outcome is, if we go to the north, we will definitely meet the Huns, and it will be difficult to go back when the time comes. The south side may seem dangerous, but it's not without opportunities! Lu Jia told the secret that had been buried in his heart for more than two years.

That's right, before leaving, Wang Buxing specially explained this matter, try not to go north, go south, go as far as you want.

In addition, the king was not hungry and directly told him that the eggs should not be put in one basket, and after finding things, he would send more people to disperse back, so as not to be targeted by some people.

However, Lu Jia didn't dare to believe until now that the things that Wang Buxing told him two years ago had really happened.

Someone is really eyeing them......

Ten days later, the mission arrived at the Second Division.

Here, Lu Jia was warmly entertained by King Dawan.

During the banquet, there was even more talk, and when he learned that the mission was going back to the Han Dynasty, King Dawan also enthusiastically asked people to prepare some gifts, and asked Lu Jia to go back to the emperor with his greetings.

If he hadn't received the news in advance, Lu Jia was afraid that he would really be moved by King Dawan's actions.

During the banquet, the two sides did not mention anything about the war horse.

The guests and hosts were happy, the scene was happy, and no one could see that there was any big problem.

King Dawan inadvertently inquired about the route of the mission back to Han, and Lu Jia did not hide it.

In fact, there is nothing to hide, he has already dispersed so many people and invited so many city-states, at least a little inquiry can know their route.

On the eighth day after leaving the Second Division City, the mission had just entered the drug donation, and the Yitun people carrying the seeds of the white stacks quietly left the main army.

They would pass through Huwu and then all the way east, that is, along the Kunlun Mountains.

To the north of them were the envoys led by Lu Jia himself, and some envoys from various states who had already gathered.

That's right, Lu Jia intends to use himself as bait to cover for the brothers who carry the seeds.

Of course, what they are carrying is not only seeds, but also some of Lu Jia's achievements in the past two years.

He had people copy a map of the Western Regions and the general situation of each country.

To put it mildly, even if their main force doesn't go back, as long as those fifty people can go back, if the big man wants to send troops next, it won't be so difficult.

"This place in the Western Regions is still very good!" On the way back, Lu Jia couldn't help but sigh.

When later generations mention this place in the Western Regions, they will subconsciously think of the desert and the Gobi Wilderness.

But now, that's not the case at all.

There are two kinds of people here, one is to live on animal husbandry, typical of which are Dawan, Wusun, and Qiuzi.

Most of these countries are located in the north, while in the south, most of them depend on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Different lifestyles are most directly reflected in the comparison of strength.

Those who depend on animal husbandry for their livelihood have basically become large countries, while those who depend on agriculture for their livelihood have basically become climate-changing.

The north is surrounded by several large countries, and the south is smaller than the north, but there are hundreds of large and small countries here, so it is also called the city kingdom.

"It's also very strange, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that the entire population of a country here is not as large as the population of our village?" Someone also began to sigh.

"Yes, it's really hard to imagine that Shan Heng only has twenty-seven households and more than one hundred and ninety people, how can he exist here for so long!" The well-informed Lu Jia also had to admire.

This special mother's is all kinds of weird.

If it was in the south, a place dominated by agriculture and the frequency of wars was not high, Shan Heng's existence might still be in the past.

But Shan Hengguo's strange trick is not according to common sense.

How many countries are there around Shan Heng?

The south side is east and west and mi, and the west side is Wu and greed.

Well, this is also a strange thing, with forty-one households, two hundred and thirty-one mouths, fifty-seven victorious soldiers, auxiliary marquis, and one lieutenant on the left and right.

Let's arrange seven personal soldiers for the king, and the remaining two lieutenants will lead twenty-five soldiers.

To the east is Beilu and several Cheshi countries.

And where are these countries located?

Just around Wushi in later generations, even if the strength of these countries is relatively weak, there are still many powerful countries around.

"I guess it's because it's too small, so people are too lazy to take care of them...... "I don't know who it is, and suddenly told a secret that may be the truth.

The return trip was undoubtedly pleasant.

Although everyone had a rope in their hearts, the number of people in the team was increasing, and it was almost nine hundred.

The total number of envoys from the surrounding city-states was almost a hundred.

According to this scale and speed, it is estimated that by the time they return to Dahan, there will be about 12,300 people.

After leaving Gumo, Lu Jia finally got the legendary Dawan horse.

There are not many of them, less than a hundred.

This is how Adoli managed to transport it here in advance, and then the two sides handed it over here.

It can be seen that Atuoli has also put a lot of effort into currying favor with the Han Dynasty.

"Lu envoy, the captain has found the Dawan cavalry ......" In the team, the cavalry who stayed behind the sentry reported in a low voice.

"How many?"

"Almost six or seven thousand!"

"Hmmm! Don't make a noise! Lu Jia said with a calm face.

It seemed strange to him.

The Dawan people, who had not moved, suddenly appeared, and the captain was only about two days away from them.

Now there are a lot of personnel in the mission, and there are a lot of goods, and it is difficult to increase the speed, so it is impossible to get rid of the Dawan cavalry.

But the rumored Wusun and Qiuzi have never moved.

His scouts had run to Yuli and had left the territory of Qiuzi, but no one intercepted him.

Is it that Wusun and Qiuzi did not agree with the Dawan people's proposal?

Or do they have something else in mind?

He didn't know what Lu Jia was, but he was sure that he had a good chat with their king at the end of last year and the beginning of this year when he was passing by Qiuzi and Wusun, and they also said that they would definitely send an envoy to Dahan to have a look.

At that time, the scene made Lu Jia feel that it didn't feel like he was perfunctory.

But so much time has passed, so at that time, Lu Jia didn't dare to believe it too much now.

Although I was very confused in my heart, I still couldn't stop returning home.

Lu Jia can only cheer up the spirit, and then go around to inquire about the situation, always paying attention to the Dawan people behind him.

Three days later, Lu Jia's mission came to the junction of Wusun and Qiuzi.

It stands to reason that this is their best ambush location, and the last place they can accept.

In the future, that is the territory of Qiuci, how much heart does the king of Qiuci have to allow the Wusun army and the Dawan army to enter their territory to block the Han Dynasty mission?

To put it mildly, it's completely burying mines for yourself, and you don't think you're sassy enough.

Just when Lu Jia was puzzled, the scout in front suddenly came with news.

"Lu Envoy, Wusun and Qiuzi people blocked the way twenty miles ahead......"

"How many?" The worries in Lu Jia's heart finally let go, as long as he came out.

And in such a place, he still has some room to operate.

"About 2,000 people ......"

"How many ???"
