……

At the end of the Chen hour, the early dynasty dispersed, Qin Shi Huang returned to the palace under the escort of a group of guards and palace people, just rested in the Zichen Palace to drink tea, the forbidden army came to report, and the Qinghe Marquis outside the palace asked to see.

"Please!" Qin Shi Huang put down his teacup and stood up.

The forbidden army quickly went and returned, followed by two palace people carrying a large wooden box in addition to Chen Xu.

Qin Shi Huang was already standing at the door of the Zichen Hall to greet him, and before Chen Xu could come forward to salute and say hello, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Aiqing is finally here, I can't eat and sleep these days!" Qin Shi Huang took Chen Xu's hand and walked towards the Zichen Palace.

"Your Majesty forgives me, the minister is late because he has to prepare some things!" Chen Xu hurriedly confessed.

"It's okay, it's okay, the main thing is that what Aiqing said last time was too incredible, so I'm very worried!" After Qin Shi Huang pulled Chen Xu to sit down, he instructed the palace maid to serve tea, and then looked at the wooden box carried in by the palace people and said, "What is Aiqing preparing?" But what does it have to do with the nations of the far west? ”

"Yes, the minister made a globe according to the records in the Book of Heaven, and he was afraid that His Majesty would look incomprehensible, so he specially drew a map of Kyushu, not only the map of the countries in the far west, but also the map of the entire earth......"

"The map of the whole earth, quickly~ take it out and take a look!" Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait to command.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu turned around and opened the wooden box, and asked the two palace people to take out the globe placed inside and put it on the desk first, and then took out a roll of fine linen cloth and let the two palace people pull it out.

This map is very large, two zhang long and eight feet wide, with land and mountains drawn on it, and the names of various places are marked with small seals.

Qin Shi Huang was originally looking at the globe, but at this time, he looked at this huge map, his eyes searched back and forth on it a few times and then landed in the middle of the place, and then his eyes involuntarily contracted slightly, and he walked to the front of the map in a few steps, staring at the place marked with the words Daqin and was silent.

"Your Majesty, this map is the form of the entire earth, the place you see is where our Great Qin is located, this continent is called the Southern Ganbu Continent in the Immortal Realm, in addition, there are Dongsheng Divine Continent thousands of miles away from the East China Sea, Beiju Luzhou thousands of miles away from the North and Xiniuhe Continent thousands of miles away from the West......" Chen Xu pointed to the map and said the four continents he had divided haphazardly.

However, these titles have not been recorded since the immortal fan was cut off, and the minister has searched all the ancient and modern slips, and has never found these names, so they must have been lost, and the minister just drew this simple map according to the book of heaven. Shangshu. Yu Gong has a record that Emperor Yu cast nine tripods and divided Kyushu, and there was Xia and Middle Earth, which is the origin of my Chinese territory, and this land of Kyushu is the land of my Daqin now, and the fairy world is called Shenzhou, but it is a very small place in the four continents......"

Chen Xu continued to exert his eloquence as the biggest liar today, and pointed to the map with his finger and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the northern part of my Shenzhou territory is a grassland, the territory is extremely vast, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards live like ant colonies, the land of thousands of miles is deserted, and there is an extremely cold weather in ice and snow for half of the year, so it is not suitable for agricultural cultivation, only the Hu people who live by water and grass can barely survive, and at present, the Huns and Huns in the northwest are all disabled by my Great Qin, and there will be no more threats in one hundred and ten years......

"The east, is an endless vast sea, the south is the land of Baiyue, after crossing the Baiyue is the South China Sea, the Baiyue tribe is chaotic, except for the mountains and rivers and the complex climate is not special, and the south of Baiyue is the South China Sea, so the south is not much threat to my Daqin, and the only threat to my Daqin is the West......"

"This is the Western Regions, it seems to be a desert and bitter cold place, but in fact, it is not, from Longxi County to the west, it is the territory of the Yue clan and the Qiang people, there is a rich and narrow passage at the junction of the Qiang and the Yue clan, the minister calls it the Hexi Corridor, which means that it is like a corridor that connects my Great Qin and the western countries. Along this narrow passage to the west, through the Western Regions of Yueshi, Xinli, Dunhuang, Wusun, Loulan and other miscellaneous countries, and finally arrived at a 10,000-zhang high snow-capped mountain, and this snow-capped mountain is like a great wall separating our Great Qin and the Western Regions from the Western countries, which is also the reason why the Western army did not enter the Western Regions a hundred years ago, because they did not find a way to the Western Regions and our Central Plains......"

"Aiqing is saying that there is a trail in this snowy mountain that leads to the west?" Qin Shi Huang listened seriously and seriously, and his eyes followed Chen Xu's fingers to a certain location in the Himalayas.

"Exactly, this large area is a plateau, more than 2,000 zhang higher than the current terrain of my Daqin, the climate is cold and dry, and now the big river in Daqin originates here, which is the water of hundreds of millions of years of glacial snow melting. Yu Gong has a record: guide the river from the stone, to the dragon gate, into the sea. In fact, it is not, the origin of the river is more westward, the mountain of stones is just a branch of this 10,000-zhang high snow-capped mountain, Emperor Yu is divided into Kyushu, the land of Hexi belongs to Yongzhou and Liangzhou, and it used to be a mixed place for Xirong and Beiqiang, but now it has returned to the Yueshi tribe, and the Yueshi is a much stronger tribe than the Xiongnu and Donghu, occupying almost the entire rich land of the Hexi corridor, even the Xiongnu have to bow to it, and the head of Manshan is hostage to Yue's ......"

"And that matter?" Qin Shi Huang suddenly looked up at Chen Xu.

"Although the minister has not inquired about this matter, but it must be true, the Xiongnu nobles and the Yue clan have close contacts, Touman took advantage of my Great Qin to unify the Central Plains, and also continued to gather the Xiongnu tribes to form a royal court, the Xiongnu who were already scattered together, trying to establish a Xiongnu empire to fight against my Great Qin, if it were not for the spring of last year, General Jiang Hu accidentally attacked Hebei and killed Touman, if it is allowed to continue to develop for more than ten years, the Xiongnu will inevitably become a big trouble in my Central Plains, maybe Touman will lead the Xiongnu army to the south, Conquer the land west of the river and look at my Central Plains ......"

"Ai Qing is reasonable, that head of Manshan is cautious, two thousand miles away from the border of my Great Qin to form a royal court, with a population of tens of thousands, has become a huge force, if it is allowed to develop for ten years, maybe he will unify Hexi, gather tens of thousands of people with bows to go south, even if my Great Qin is stationed in the northwest border with 300,000 soldiers, but the dispersion of troops will inevitably be broken, once the Xiongnu break into the hinterland of the Central Plains, the consequences are unimaginable, even if it can be repulsed, my Great Qin will inevitably suffer heavy losses, And if the unscrupulous people of the Six Kingdoms take the opportunity to rebel, our Great Qin will fall into a precarious place......"

Qin Shi Huang's face became more and more serious, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Xu with a relieved expression on his face: "I want to thank Aiqing for the new horse equipment and steel weapons he built, so that the Xiongnu scourge can be eradicated in advance, and Aiqing has made great contributions to this matter." ”

"Did Aiqing already know that the Huns were secretly cultivating power, so he repeatedly persuaded me to conquer the Huns in the northwest first?" Qin Shi Huang said with emotion holding Chen Xu's hand.

"Yes, because the minister has long known the form of the earth, the hundred more in the south, like a disease, not the danger of life, and the northwest region is vast, the Xiongnu Yue clan is taking the opportunity to rise, if you don't take it off as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it is for my Central Plains, so the minister has reminded His Majesty several times to attack the lord Hun Hu to prevent future troubles, but now the northwest has been appeased, and even the East Hu has been killed, and there will be no disaster in the northwest within a hundred years, so we are bound to look at the Western Regions. Shift the focus of defense and attack to the Yueshi and the Qiang people, attack the Western Regions while developing the domestic people's livelihood, and slowly incorporate the land occupied by the Qiang Rong into the territory of my Great Qin, once the domestic people are stable, you can form an elite army to the west, and face the Western countries through the Hexi Corridor, by that time, my Great Qin soldiers are well fed, and only need to conquer the Peacock Empire here......"

Chen Xu pointed to the location of India.

"The climate of the Peacock Empire is warm and humid, and the food products are no less than that of my Central Plains, and after the conquest, it will inevitably provide sufficient money and food for my Great Qin army, and then recruit a slave army in the Peacock Empire, and cooperate with my Great Qin soldiers to continue to attack the west, so that the advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and my Great Qin itself is far away from the battlefield, and it will be safe and invincible......"

Chen Xu said, his hand continued to extend to the west, and finally pointed to the position of West Asia: "Your Majesty, there is a more powerful country than the Peacock Empire, called Anxi, there are many deserts in the territory, the people here are good at business, a large number of camel caravans come and go to Greece, Egypt, Rome, Macedonia and other countries in the extreme west and the Peacock Empire to make money, legend has it that the nobles in the country are all gold and silver as tableware, jade and jewelry are piled up all over the room, and to the west of rest, is the most chaotic place today, called the Mediterranean, Countless countries are fighting each other like the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains......"

Chen Xu stood in front of the huge map, briefly introduced West Asia, Europe, and even Egypt and other countries one by one, and finally pointed to South America, which was isolated overseas.

"Your Majesty, here the fairy world is called Dongsheng Shenzhou, in ancient times, it was connected with my South Ganbu Continent, North Juluzhou, West Niuhezhou, etc., but the legend is that the Gonggong collapsed Buzhou Mountain, resulting in the sky falling to the northwest, the earth sinking to the southeast, the monstrous flood washed it away thousands of miles away, resulting in Dongsheng Shenzhou completely cut off in my Central Plains, there have always been folk legends that there are five sacred mountains outside the East China Sea, two of which drifted south without a trace, the minister does not know where these legends come from, but also because of the ancient times after dozens or even millions of years to the present, There has been no specific record for a long time, and the things before the Xianfan War have long been almost annihilated, so the minister does not dare to lie, but what the minister can tell His Majesty is that there is indeed no so-called sacred mountain outside the East China Sea, but there are many islands in the vast sea, some large and some small, there may be descendants of the ancients living on it, and there are many strange species that I have never had in the Central Plains or even the West, but they have nothing to do with the immortals, these strange species, if you go to check the Classic of Mountains and Seas, you may be able to find some clues, But it's all plausible......"

"Dongsheng Shenzhou and Beiju Luzhou are in the east of the extreme North Pole, there is an extremely narrow seaway separated by each other, the narrowest place is less than 100 miles, called the Bailing Strait, if you take a boat or wait for the sea to freeze, it may only take half a day to reach the other side, it is rumored that the Yin Shang period King Wu fell, the King of Zhou died, there are Yin people fled to the Northeast, and then through the Bailing Strait to Dongsheng Shenzhou to settle down and live and reproduce......"
