In the Western Regions, dozens of small countries and tribes, including Hujie, Wusun, Qiuzi, Dawan, Khotan, Shule, Jingjue, etc., united together to become the third vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and was not renamed "Loulan", the king was served by the original King Qiuci, and the new King of Loulan was the father of Zalinata.

The original Princess Qiuci, now Princess Zalinata of Loulan, that is, the 23rd concubine of the Han Emperor Liu Xie, became Liu Xie's concubine when the Han army was conquering Wazhou.

To the south of the Loulan Kingdom is a large plateau area, with many tribes such as Tang Xuan and Faqiang, which are now unified as Sa Zhou, and are also subordinated to the Han Dynasty, and are divided into Xisa Prefecture and Dongsa Prefecture, both of which are state governance.

In addition to the original thirteen states of the current Han Dynasty, there are also the previously subdued Wazhou, the Gaozhou of Northeast Asia, that is, the Leng Prefecture composed of Goguryeo, the former Fuyu and other tribes, as well as the two northern and southern states of Funan, and the now called East and West Sazhou.

That's 20 states.

Yizhou Island (present-day TW Province) was placed under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and Zhuya (present-day Hainan Island) and Wanli Stone Pond were placed under the jurisdiction of Yizhou.

The Nanyang Islands were basically subdued by Zhuge Liang for three years, and were divided into three states: north, west and east, which are 23 states.

There are also North America conquered by Pang Tong, South America conquered by Lu Su, and Australia conquered by Zhuge Liang, which are the three largest overseas colonies of the Han Dynasty.

The highest official of the state is called the governor, and the highest official of the province is called the governor. At present, Pang Tong, Lu Su and Zhuge Liang are temporarily serving as governors of North America, South America and Oceanic Provinces.

In addition to the 23 states and three provinces mentioned above, there are also three vassal states, including the Loulan Kingdom just mentioned, as well as the Kra Kingdom that was previously subdued and the current Baicheng Kingdom.

King Loulan is the father of Zalinata, the king of the Kra Kingdom is Queen Hera, Queen Hera is also the 28th concubine of Liu Xie, and the king of the Kingdom of Baicheng is the 29th concubine of Liu Xie, Queen Athea.

Therefore, the current Han has a total of 21 states, three provinces and three kingdoms.

This is the current general territory of the Han Dynasty, and now we will return to the Hundred Vehicles Kingdom, which was previously called the Hundred Vehicles Dynasty, and was renamed the Hundred Vehicles Kingdom after Athea ascended the throne and belonged to the Great Han.

In the northwest of Baicheng is the famous Kushan Empire, which has not yet been surrendered.

Today I want to talk about this Kushan Empire, which is east of Loulan and Sazhou, and north of which there are several tribes that have not yet been submitted, among which the slightly larger ones are the Northern Xiongnu and Khorezm, and there are also several tribes in the west, and the largest is resting.

Guishan was Liu Xie's next target, and it was originally a very powerful empire, but it also began to decline, just like the hundred times before the Han Dynasty notified the hundred vehicles.

However, although Guishan began to decline, Baixian, which was originally about to decline, prospered again under the drive of the Great Han.

The Emperor of the Kushan was Vesudeva (Note), and this Emperor of the Kushan, like the original King of the Hundred Vehicles, did not have much real power, and his imperial power was basically controlled by the minister Agulun.

said that Liu Xie and Aithea were watching a Baicheng movie together in the Baicheng Theater, and Aithea said: "Your Majesty, this movie was written and directed by the concubine herself, how about it, you don't have to send your Lord Wenji, right?" And this movie is also a tribute to His Majesty. ”

Liu Xie smiled: "Well, the two of you are comparable, the Han dance is euphemistic, and the hundred dances are enthusiastic and unrestrained, each has its own merits, each has its own merits." ”

Aithea said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, but the concubine is still self-aware, and the concubine knows that there is still a big gap between the level of the concubine and Aunt Wenji." ”

Liu Xie said: "I can't say that, there are big cultural differences between the two of you, so the songs and dances choreographed and directed must be very different." ”

Althea said excitedly: "Since Your Majesty can think so, the concubine is still very happy. By the way, I heard you're getting ready to go on the expedition again. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yes, Baicheng has been resting for three years, and now it is also beginning to flourish, and everything that the Han should have has spread, so it is time for me to set off." ”

Althea said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Liu Xie said: "You continue to be your queen of the hundred times." ”

"I don't," said Althea, pouting, "I'm going to conquer the world with you." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said, "If you go with me to conquer the world, then I ask you, what about the Hundred Vehicles Kingdom?" What about Xiang'er? She was only two years old. ”

Less than a year after ascending the throne, Aithea gave birth to her daughter Liu Xiang, who just turned two years old this year, or three years old if you count it according to her virtual age.

Althea said: "This is very easy to do, I will abdicate and pass the throne to Xiang'er." ”

"How's that going to work? Xiang'er is only two years old, how can she govern the country? Aren't you fooling around? ”

"Oh, Your Majesty, will you listen to the concubine first?" Aithea sneered, "After Xiang'er ascends the throne, she can be assisted by her grandfather, and you can send a few more respected Hanchen to care for you, and it will not affect the rule of Baicheng in the slightest." ”

Liu Xie began to think about it, and Aithea said again: "Actually, the concubine wants to conquer the world with you, not because she is playful, but because she has a bigger goal. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Aithea said: "Aunt Wen Ji's second movement of Changle Weiyang has also been compiled, now it is the third movement, and then it will be the fourth movement, but part of the content of the third movement and all the contents of the fourth movement in the future will be the content of the Western Regions, Central Asia and even Great Qin, Wen Ji is a native of the Eastern Tuhan Dynasty, how can I have a better understanding of the customs of the Western Regions?" Therefore, the concubine wants to go on the expedition with His Majesty and record the customs of the Western Regions, which can be regarded as contributing to the third part of Changle Weiyang. ”

The Great Qin mentioned in Athea's words naturally refers to the Roman Empire that spanned Europe, Asia and Africa.

What Aithea said is very reasonable, Changle Weiyang has been carried out to the third movement, and the style of the Western Regions has begun since the conquest of the Hundred Vehicles, although the Hundred Vehicles do not belong to the Western Regions, but the human geography and the Western Regions are extremely similar.

Therefore, for the compilation of the story of Baiyan and its aftermath, Cai Yan is obviously powerless.

Althea took advantage of the victory and pursued, saying, "So without the concubines, the third and fourth movements of Changle Weiyang would not be so perfect, would they? ”

Liu Xie held her hand, sighed and said, "I was completely persuaded by you!" Thanks to your ability to sing and dance, you are versatile. No wonder ......"

"What's the wonder?" Aithea asked with a grin, "No wonder people call their concubines as Baicheng Cai Wenji?" ”

"Haha, that's right, Baicheng Cai Wenji!"

(Note: In some online literary works, it is called Vesudeva I, and the author thinks that it is really inappropriate to call it so, because the second has not yet been born, and it is impossible for him to call himself I.) ）
