As far as Liu Bei knows. In addition to the Silk Road, there will be the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Tangbo Ancient Road later. All of them are important commercial routes to the southwest.

Based on the West Sea, it goes south to the plateau. Liu Bei wanted to try to open up this important trade route comparable to the Silk Road. Tea and silk are the most lucrative commodities to be exported at present. Once tea is popular in foreign countries, it will add an inexhaustible large input. Therefore, Liu Bei planted camellia all over Longnan in advance, so as to be prepared.

"There is Jiamu in the south", that is, tea trees. Shu is also an important tea area. Based on the Longnan Tea Garden, Jiguo tea merchants have entered Shu and opened up new gardens.

When bathing in hot springs. Concubine Hui once mentioned in her busy schedule that the ancient Qiang in the depths of the plateau. In other words, the grazing Zhongqiang people occasionally find ancient Qiang hunting grounds in the middle of summer, when they march backwards along the winding river valley between the snow-capped mountains.

Concubine Hui also said that the ancient Qiang, which grew up in the depths of the plateau, was decorated with a bull, commonly known as the "bull species". It is rumored that the species is divided into six parts, and is called the "six yak departments".

"The Biography of Xiqiang" contains: the Qiang people "are either yak breeds, Yue Jun Qiang is also, or white horse breeds, Guanghan Qiang is also, or ginseng wolf breeds, Wudu Qiang is also".

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhang Wei" also has: "Hanjia County Boundary Yang Niu Yi" and "Han Niu Wang Maiden", also known as: "Yue Junqiang".

Yak, that is, yak. It is produced in the southwest. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the North Mountains": "(Panhou's Mountain) has a beast, its shape is like a cow, and the four sections are hairy, and the name is a cow. The note said: "The back and knees of the ox and the tail of the beard have long hair. ”

Since ancient times, Sichuan and Tibet have been integrated.

Other words. "The cattle breed, the more Junqiang", is also a nomadic country. Between the plateau pastures between Sichuan and Tibet and the river valleys with abundant water and grass, nomadic herding is carried out.

It coincides with the turn of spring and summer. Go all the way south from Xihai County, go against the Cizhi River, cross the Jishi Mountain, or you can meet this ancient Qiang.

Knowing his name, Liu Bei is at ease.

Between breaths, the moment is decided. Send a caravan south to find an opportunity to communicate with Yue Junqiang.

This is the six-hundred-mile herald earthquake pass, and it was handed over to Zuo Cheng Xunyou to handle it personally. The name of the Thistle King has been drafted in advance: the Shogunate Pioneer Convoy of the Shogunate of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty.

A group of camp carriages and a team of healthy women are equipped as standard. Defense carriages, traveling merchant carriages, workshop carriages, military market carriages, battalion officer carriages, etc., and so on. With Han envoys, team leaders, battalion soldiers, doctors, craftsmen, hunters, draftsmen, nine translators, etc., personnel accompanied.

The first "Pioneer Knight" was a resting merchant who had been promoted to the rank of Captain of the Cavalry, An Xuan.

Ordered An Xuan to hold the festival, led the team from the West Sea to the south, and found a way to advance into the plateau. Along the way, collect customs, mountains and rivers. And the accompanying craftsmen draw a topographic map of the mountains and rivers, and seek danger to rush to the place for subsequent construction and garrisoning. Strategically, drive a wedge first. Then use this as a base to build a city and a tuntian, and move the army and civilians to garrison. Then it is to spread the branches and leaves, and return the outer land to the Han land.

Nowadays. Brilliant Tianhan, one of a kind. The four Yi have all been sinicized and proud. I heard that it was a Han envoy who held the festival, and how could the countries along the way dare to slack off in the slightest. Good wine and good food, and treat with heart. Be careful to send it out of the country, so that you can secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't move, if you move, you will destroy the country." This saying has long been spread all over the world with the Han envoys.

The first major earthquake.

I heard that the thistle king formed a pioneer team. People with lofty ideals are all gearing up.

Zhang Qian set the Western Regions and wrote a famous history. Geng Gong guarded Shule and passed Su Wu.

The Han wind is majestic, and the intestines are reverberating. The hundred-year-old Qiang rebellion will be extinguished, and the Yellow Turban riot will rise again. Seeing that the social security is not guaranteed, it is difficult for the country to continue. The Thistle King was born. Turn the tide and help the building to fall. First level the Western Regions, and then set Longright. Now it has gone south to pioneer and advance into the plateau. How not to make the world, clap your hands.

An Xuanjin has moved his family eastward and settled in Dazhenguan and Shengpingli. was promoted by Liu Bei as "Riding Captain". In front of the Governor's Mansion, there was already a long queue. All have to be put into the pioneer queue.

Climbing the tall building and looking down, An Xuanfang knows what the Han style is.

Up to the princes, down to the people. All of them are proud of expanding their territory and embracing all rivers. Donghu is attached to the south, Nanban moves inward, and Xiqiang comes to the east. At the end of the Han Dynasty, although the national policy was repeatedly criticized, it ran throughout. Since the Han Dynasty, no dynasty has had such boldness. Many lines of retreat and self-defense, dividing Huayi.

Ai Ting, the old governor's mansion.

From the shogunate's car in front of the door, the person who pushed the door and got off the car was the door governor Zheng Tai.

The old lieutenant personally went out of the mountain gate to greet him: "The old man has seen the envoy." ”

"The old lieutenant, please get up quickly." Zheng Tai stepped forward to help, not daring to accept this big gift.

After the old lieutenant stood still, Zheng Tai took a few steps back and bowed solemnly: "Zheng Tai, the governor of the Jiwang Sect, meet the old lieutenant Jiang." ”

The so-called politeness and courtesy. Zheng Tai's move should be comforting.

The old lieutenant did not postpone either. Calmly accepted this salute, and this move should be a demonstration of Corporal Lixian of the Thistle King. The mannerisms of the people of the time have deep meanings.

"The envoy will enter the hall and talk about it."

"Old Captain, please."

The guests and hosts sat down, and Zheng Tai presented the gift list first.

The old lieutenant took it and couldn't help but be surprised.

"How can the old man dare to accept such a heavy gift from the king."

Zheng Tai said: "My lord has been the name of the old captain for a long time. However, he was entangled in all things and did not dare to move lightly. This sent (Zheng) Tai to greet him. ”

"In this way, the old man is ashamed."

Seeing that the old lieutenant was also a neat person, Zheng Taixi said: "Longyou is in a hundred wastes to be revived, and it is worth employing people." I heard that the old lieutenant opened the door to teach. The so-called famous teacher produces a high apprentice. When I came, my lord asked (Zheng) Tai to ask the old lieutenant that there were children of the right age to go out of the mountain to help. ”

"There are a few disciples who are not angry." The old lieutenant understood: "Dare to ask the envoy, what position should be awarded?" ”

Zheng Tai said with a smile: "Below a thousand stones, Zheng can make his own decisions." ”

"Oh?" Rao is old lieutenant couldn't help but be moved: "The subordinate governor is a six-hundred-stone official, how can he give people a thousand stones." ”

Zheng Tai said with a smile: "The lord is very loving, and he is a private minister." Therefore, the position is humble and weighty. ”

"The rumors are true." The old lieutenant was relieved: "Fledgling, don't seek a thousand stones." Wu Chang, Shi Chang, team rate, and waiting, are enough. ”

"The old lieutenant must not be presumptuous." Zheng Tai said with a smile: "Why don't you bring the disciples to see you." ”

"In this way, the envoy will go to the martial arts arena with the old man."

"Please."

Partial courtyard, dormitory.

Cheng Gongying's face was flushed, and he hurriedly stepped inside: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, teachers call each other. ”

"Why is it so urgent?" Seeing that he was out of breath, Senior Brother Yang Qiu got up and asked.

"Naiyin......" took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and Cheng Gong said in a heroic voice: "Zheng Tai, the governor of the Ji King's sect, came to recruit. ”

Not only Yang Qiu, but all the brothers in the house all "hummed", like a thunderbolt from the sky. My mind went blank.

"Don't go yet!" Wu Xi jumped up. Only then did everyone wake up, pack up with each other, and march towards the martial arts arena.

The old Duwei's Mansion, there are horse farms and school yards built in the back valley, and all kinds of weapons are arranged for learning art and performing martial arts. The so-called martial arts arena means this place.

The north stand is already full. There are two seats in the center. Dongxi is a mentor. There is one person sitting on the west seat, with a high-crowned brocade robe and a white-faced beautiful beard, which is the heroic Zheng Tai.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn Summoning": "Similar calls are the same, the same qi is combined, and the sound is compatible." "The same kind of things attract each other; The smell is the same, and they fit each other; The sound is the same, and it corresponds to each other.

It is the so-called "heroic match".

Yang Qiu, the senior brother at the head of the team, suddenly said in a low voice: "Where is the Pang brothers?" ”
