183, Zhang Qian
When Liu Che hurried back to the Xuanshu Palace, Zhang Sai had been waiting for a long time at the outermost.
"Xuanshilang Zhang Saiyin
"Minister, squire Zhang Sai see Your Majesty!" Zhang Sai, who had a windy face, respectfully bowed down to Liu Che and chased after him
Seeing the two Zhang Sai, who had already shown their shock, Liu Che was a little sour in an instant.
In this era, when cattle were not sold to themselves, there were no cars and airplanes, and Cong Chang'an could only rely on some livestock and his own feet to invite countries to the Western Regions
The road is arduous and difficult
Although these Liu Che can be imagined, he didn't expect that it has only been a few years, and Zhang Jian in the prime of life has shown his old state
"Aiqing, please get up."
But Zhang Qian did not get up, but continued to kneel on the ground, and said, "The minister has the heavy responsibility of His Majesty, and he has failed to persuade the Damu clan to have no room with me, please Your Majesty!" ”
When Liu Che heard this, he was slightly disappointed in his heart, uniting the Dayue clan, communicating with the Western Regions, breaking the control of the Xiongnu, and establishing the prestige and influence of the Han Dynasty was indeed a good way to isolate and weaken the Xiongnu-
But yes, after the battle of the horses,
After having the strength to fight with the Huns, Liu Che didn't care too much about pressing with Da Yue
Ally.
"Love, please get up quickly, and it is love to persuade the driver to come down, and he has already made a great contribution, how can he blame you for coming to help Zhang Shilang up." Regardless of whether Zhang Sai can convince the Dayue clan in the end, just visiting the countries of the Western Regions has already made a great achievement, not to mention that Zhang Sai even persuaded the prince of Cheshi to vote
Zhang, who was helped up by the inner attendant, was already moved and depressed
"Your Majesty, Zhang Qian can only repay His Majesty for not killing him if he does his best and dies!"
"Give Zhang Shilang a seat." Although he had already known about Zhang Han's trip experience in the books in the series, Liu Che still couldn't help but want Zhang Sai to tell it himself.
After Zhang Sai sat down, Liu Che said, "Zhang Jialang quickly talked to Shengjin about the driver, what happened after the driver, and how did you find the Da Yue clan?" ”
"Minister, obey the command
Zhang Qian began to tell
Zhang's team, after leaving the division, Yi under the leadership of the guide to Wusun, but on the way to hear, Hun Niu intended to attack the bird sun, Zhang Qian canceled the plan to go to Wusun, led the people, continue to set off to the southwest
Enter Yanqi, go west along the Tarim River, pass Kuqa, Shule and other places, cross the green mountains, and finally reach Dawan
On the Gobi, flying sand and rocks, heat waves rolling, green ridges are as high as roofs, snow and ice, and cold winds are biting.
There are few people on the road, Zhang Qian sleeps in the open air, and the scenery of the different belts
Many of his followers died of hunger and temperature on the way, or died in the yellow sand and gave their lives
Zhang Sai said as he spoke, but tears flowed unconsciously.
Hundreds of people who traveled with him, in the end, only the scholar was able to return to Chang'an with him, which made it very difficult for Zhang Sai to arrive at the big room, although he was warmly received by the king of Dawan, but the king of Da Kuan had no intention of alliing with the Han Dynasty Zhang Jian could only retreat and ask the king of Dawan to send himself and others to the Dayue clan
Finally, after Kang Qu, he finally reached Lan Clan, the capital of the Otsuki clan
It's just that the Dayue clan was defeated by Wusun, and after being forced to move to the Amu Darya River, he surrendered to Daxia by force, and the new country + was very fertile, rich in products, and far away from the Xiongnu and Wusun
After meeting Da Yuegan, Zhang Jian expressed the Han family's desire to form an alliance with Da Yue to fight against the Xiongnu and Bird Sun, but was refused.
→. Ask for flowers
The Great Moon King, who had enjoyed the stable cattle life, had no intention of returning to the east and went to Wusun for revenge, and had no intention of being an enemy of the Huns
This made Zhang Qian very anxious, he and others went through a lot of hardships to arrive at the Dahe clan, but they could not complete the task assigned by the Son of Heaven Zhang Jian stayed in the Dayue clan for more than a year, and he was never able to change the mind of the Dayue King, but he could leave to return to China.
On the way back, Zhang Qian changed his route in order to avoid the Xiongnu-controlled area, and did not take the same road as he came.
After crossing the verdant greenery, it passed through Shache, Khotan, Jingjue, Loulan, and finally arrived at Dunhuang.
"Your Majesty, there are dozens of large and small countries in the Western Regions, but the population is not too much, generally twenty or thirty thousand people, the largest Qiuzi country is only more than eighty thousand people, and some other small countries only have one or two thousand people, but most of these countries have established their own city-states, but the military strength of each country is weak, and they have to endure the heavy taxes of the Xiongnu." Zhang Qian expressed his views to Liu Che
After listening to Zhang Ling's words, Liu Che couldn't help but hug Zhang Sai and kiss him
Ordered Zhang Qian to envoy to the Western Regions, originally intended to let the Western Regions invite the country to recognize the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect that this can be described as an excess treasure to become Ren's expedition, and failed to achieve the purpose of establishing an alliance with the Dayue clan to attack the Bao Quan, but the actual impact and role played was huge.
Of course, he didn't know what kind of success this line of work produced, but Liu Che knew it clearly.
Zhang Sai's envoy this time, Liu Chezhi's taxi was full of chapters.
"Zhang Qian stepped forward to stop the sealing, this time he sent Aiqing to the Western Regions to work hard, and now Zhang Sai is going to Taizhong, and he is serving a thousand stones."
Thank you, Your Majesty! "Zhang Sai stepped forward to answer the order." Your Majesty, on the way back, the minister had heard that Nu Dadan Yu Yizhi had personally led the Taijun army to the northwest, and the minister did not know the details in order to avoid his whereabouts being discovered. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! "Zhang Qian, who has just been rewarded by the Son of Heaven, is not covered by the glory in front of him" I already know, Aiqing doesn't have to worry, I have my own opinions. Liu Che said, "Aiqing has had a hard journey, go back and rest early, and record what happened along the way in detail and hand it over to me." ”
The Huns sent troops to attack Dawan, Liu Che did already know, and even Liu Che knew that Yi Zhixian set off on that day. But knowing that it doesn't mean that Liu Che wants to be quiet, so he will be stupid to fight the Huns at this time.
"It is estimated that before I sent troops with the feet of the "Jiuyi Spirit", Yi Zhi came back with his hind feet, and besides, Dawan actually rejected his alliance proposal and made them suffer some hardships, so he begged himself obediently," Liu Che thought
Dakuan, Kangju, Anxi, and Otsuki in the west are also not vegetarians, so let Yi Zhi go and eat dog with them, it's best to fight for both sides
When they were beaten by the Huns and couldn't stand it, they led the Han army cadres to appear as saviors, and the picture was not too beautiful
However, this also reminded Liu Che that when Yi Zhi Xiancong returned to Dragon City from the west, the countdown to the war between the Han and the fierce would begin, and this time would not be too long, and the time left for the Han family would not exceed several years at most
But Liu Che is not particularly worried, with the guidance of the Wusun people, the Han family's war horse cultivation has become its own system, several horse farms in the north are developing very rapidly, it is expected to reach 100,000 horses next year, when the Han army will return to the earth to ride a good war horse, the Huns come and go like the wind at a speed and the heat is no more
The so-called three armies have not moved, and grain and grass go first.
Nowadays, the grain yield of the Han Dynasty is also very amazing, with the assistance of new farming techniques and new tools, the yield per mu has exceeded four stones, and in some areas with fertile land, the yield per mu has reached five stones!
Some large official warehouses have long been filled with new grain, and old grain has also been mistakenly moved to the grassland by Liu Che, changing too much fur and grassland specialties in the area. Various new types of weapons and equipment have also been developed, such as the Wugang chariot, heavy armor and horse chopping knives that were used to make them more powerful in the Battle of Horses.
The research and development of new weapons is also mentioned by Liu Che
I haven't stopped asking.
Weapons that do not belong to this era have been copied out, but most of them cannot be formed into an assembly army
Only the catapult was successfully manufactured under the guidance of Liu Che, and with the gunpowder canister, it was full of deterrence
Liu Che was at the scene in person, and the boulders and gunpowder canisters thrown by the catapult were earth-shattering.
Liu Che believed that even if the battle of the Han army was repeated at this time, the ten Han troops could still defeat the Xiongnu army
Thinking of this, Liu Che suddenly remembered the bloody BMW that was passed down in later generations
"I don't know if Zhang Sai has seen it?"
I was planning to recall Zhang Sai to inquire
S begged but the ghost dispelled this idea.
It's just a good horse attached to the parasite, although the sweat horse is fast, but it is slender, and the weight-bearing capacity is not very good, in this era of no soldiers, the soldiers are full of criticism, hand-held qiu, and the burden of asking for weight makes Wang Xuema lose its excellent material In Liu Che's opinion, the war horse cultivated by the Han family now is more in line with the current war situation than Wang Xuema.
"Could it be that I will be like a little pig, sending tens of thousands of Taijun laborers to attack Dawan, which is more than 4,000 kilometers away, for the sake of a few horses? Not only was he defeated, but he also jumped out of a traitor who was the most powerful traitor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che couldn't help but complain
At the same time, Taiwanguo, who was inspired to give birth to a bloody BMW, fell into the water and fire
Even the fine war horses could not stop the pace of invasion of the Huns, and this once glorious dry country is now on the verge of extinction
With ten cities and a population of hundreds of thousands, the Western Regions is a large country, and now the remaining capital Guishan City is still relying on the strength of the city wall to desperately defend against the attack of the Huns.
And the rest of the city-states have all fallen
In these breached cities, those who dared to resist the Xiongnu were all cut off and stuck on wooden stakes, while the obedient men, women and children were tied up by them and sent in the direction of Longcheng.
King Taijia regretted it very much at this time, and did not listen to Zhang Qian's words, thinking that those brutal Huns would not attack his country, but the city in front of him was reduced to ruins, and the corpses of countless Dawan people seemed to be laughing at his innocence
"My king, Guishan City Gong is afraid that they won't be able to hold out for long." The call of the generals shocked Dawan, who was in regret, "Now, Riyou has asked Zhang Sai's motherland Taihan for help, they have just defeated this group of barbarians along the human nature, if they originally came to help, they would definitely be able to repel these barbarians." King Dawan said excitedly, "Dan himself once rejected the proposal of an alliance, and he didn't care if their emperor intended to come to the rescue."
My king, I am willing to send an envoy to Taihan, meet the king of the Han Dynasty, and ask him to help."
King Wan met the envoys of the Han Dynasty together
"I have already felt your kindness, but the Han Dynasty is too far away, and we are afraid that we will not be able to hold out on to the arrival of their assistance⊥," Da Wan sighed dryly.
"My king, the Great Moon clan and this group of barbarians are incompatible, and the king of the previous generation was killed by them with their own hands, and his head and face were even made into wine vessels, so my king might as well send someone to ask them for help to delay time. I continued to the Han Dynasty and asked for support
"Now, that's the only way, I'll send someone else to the Dayue Clan for help, and the Han Dynasty will get rid of you!"
The Xiongnu will attack Dawan, which can be said to be expected by Liu, and it can also be said that Liu Che is guiding the Huns to develop to the west. As for whether Dawan will be broken by the Huns in the end, Liu Che is not worried, the Huns also said that they had attacked Dawan in the previous life, but it was not until the end that Xiaozhu sent Li Guangli to attack Dawan twice before it was broken, so it seems that this Dawan is not as weak as imagined, but in this era, the transmission of information is really not timely enough, and Liu himself is not sure.
"This building annoys Wang Gan Li Feng, and it's been a long time since I returned to my own tribe, and I don't know how it's going now?" Liu Che's mind thought of a pair of dark flags he had buried in a blink of an eye.
Li Feng was not easy at this time, and when he returned to the Lou Fu Department, Li Feng was ridiculed by several elders who were biased towards the position of the Huns.
"King, I annoy tens of thousands of people from the building to go out of the station with you, but now that you have one person back to 27, should you give everyone an explanation?" Elder Subu was the first to stand up.
This elder Xubu is a descendant of the Li family who chose to stay as a slave and the daughter of the Xuanxu Shang clan of the great nobles of Longcheng, because of the identity relationship, and now he has completely regarded himself as a slave.
Every time he robbed the Han people, Elder Xu Bu was also the first to stand up and agree, so after so many years of receiving the support of Dragon City in the Secret Ground Jia, it can be said that the line of Su Bu in the Lou Fu Department has become a big family second only to the Li family's direct subordinate department
If it weren't for the fact that the throne was only passed on to the descendants of the Li family, and the successors to the throne of each generation were indeed more prestigious, the Subu family would have usurped the throne a long time ago.
In addition, Li Feng was defeated and captured by the Han people, which happened to give the Sushang clan a good excuse, and when Li Feng did not come back, the elder Xubu began to encourage the people below to start building momentum.
If it weren't for Li Feng's small people on weekdays, maybe he would have been succeeded by the Subu clan
Just when Elder Su was about to seize the throne by force, he got that Li Feng was actually released back by the Han people, which made Elder Su Bu's abacus all fall through at once.
Annoyed and angry, when Li Feng came back, he couldn't wait to gather all the elders, ready to force Li Feng to give up the throne As soon as Su Bu's words were finished, several elders who had a good relationship with Su Shang also stood up to question Li Feng
Li Feng, who had returned from the Han Dynasty, had already learned that he would be questioned by Elder Subu, but what he didn't expect was that several other elders actually stood on his side
"It seems that this time when I come back, it is not only the Subu clan that needs to be eradicated," Li Feng's worm has already added these elders to the death list.
"I'll give everyone an explanation, but before that, I need to report to the elder first!" Li Feng ignored Xu Bu's call to camp. Li Feng's words suddenly blocked the words of the people who were forced to ask, in Lou Fu, the highest status is not Lou Fugan, but the successive generations of them hold all the inheritances of Lou Fu, and Lou Fubu can gain a foothold on the grassland so quickly, these inheritances are indispensable
This is also Elder Xubu's reluctance to usurp the throne by force until the last moment, because he knows that without these inheritances, the Lou Fu Department will not be able to survive among the various tribes on the grassland.
Everyone could only retreat helplessly, but they were still around the big tent, and Xu Bu believed that even the Great Elder had no power, so Li Feng had nothing like this.
After everyone went out, Li Feng knelt down; "Grandpa, I'm back L"
The Great Elder, who was still serious, changed the expression on his face.
"Feng'er, how could those Han people let you come back? And what about the people who went with you? The Great Elder asked eagerly, "Grandpa, I have seen it, the descendants of General Li Mu ......," Li Feng said softly.
The old man was suddenly like Cao Xue, and he was suddenly stunned and motionless.
"Grandpa, grandpa" Li Feng called out to the big spin
"Is there anyone else alive in the Li family?" The eldest elder was awakened by Li Feng's voice and said majestically.
"Yes, there are descendants of the benefactor's family alive!" Li Feng can completely understand why everyone is excited.
After speaking, Li Feng told the Great Elder about the detailed experience of this trip.
"Today's Son of Heaven, does he accept us with the original intention?" The elder asked.
"Yes, grandpa, I have met the emperor of the current Han family, it is indeed a young man, the Han people have developed so rapidly in recent years, and today is indispensable!" Li Feng recalled the meeting with Liu Che
"I know all of this, what are you worried about?" When it comes to the future of the clan, the Great Elder must think about it carefully, "Grandpa, you 910 look at what we have done for the Hun Milk People over the years, but how does Dragon City treat us?" Li Feng said excitedly; On the most dangerous battlefield, our Lou Fu Department will always be indispensable, saying that our Lou Fu is the most warlike tribe of the Huns, but who knows how many clansmen our Lou Fu Department loses in each war⊥
The Great Elder was silent
Li Hexagram's words deeply stimulated Elder Tai
Yes, who is talking about the pain of our building, thinking of those elders who have lost their children, they are very ashamed
"Feng'er, how can you do it?" The Great Elder said intersectingly
"Grandpa, do you know why, I'm the only one who came back this time?" Li Feng continued
"The clansmen who were captured with me lived very well in the Han Dynasty, and many of them have already settled down there...... "Grandpa, what are we fighting so the prairie for?" Isn't it just a way for all the clansmen to have a stable cow life! ”
Maybe he was moved by Li Feng's words, and the great elder said slowly, "Feng'er, you go out first, let grandpa worry about it first" Yes, grandpa. Li Feng turned around and walked out of the big tent. As soon as Li Feng walked out of the tent, he was stopped by Elder Xu who was guarding the place.
Wang, I don't know how you and the Great Elder are doing? Subu stepped out
"Humph!" Li Feng glanced at Xu Bu, did not speak, turned around and walked towards his big tent
This Subu already regarded himself as a Hun, and in order to please them, he even changed his own surname
Feng looked down on this Elder Subu very much, so his attitude towards him was also cold
"Elder......" The lackeys of Subu couldn't stand it anymore and moved one after another.
"See how long you can be proud, huh!" Elder Subu stopped the crowd and continued to wait outside the elder's tent
At this time, Elder Tai was also constantly walking back and forth in the tent
Feng Er is right, what did he get for the Xiongnu for so many years?
The young and strong in the clan continue to die, and there are not many people who still maintain pure blood, and it won't be long before the Lou Fu Department will really be a vassal of the 5 Huns.
From Li Feng's words, Elder Tai could see that the current emperor of the Han people was really willing to accept his people, and the great elder scarf, who was already in his twilight years, wanted to return to his hometown to have a look.
And if he wants to return, Elder Subu will be his biggest obstacle.
It seems that I want to let my old brother come over to discuss it.
After some time, the two old men, who were also in their twilight years, entered the tent of the big tent
"Brother Tai, you are in such a hurry to call us here, but for the sake of Feng'er~?" As soon as the three elders entered the tent door, they shouted, "Three! Let's listen to what Brother Tai has to say first! The Second Elder stopped the Third Elder
"You two sit down first." After the two of them sat down, the Great Elder An Tui began to talk about Li Feng's experience in the Han Dynasty.
"Big brother, what do you think?" The three elders, who were impatient, were the first to talk
"Dick, what do you think?" Different from the impatience of the third elder, the eldest elder was familiar with his younger brother, and he had always been known for his wisdom in the clan, so he first met the second elder.
"Big brother, look at your little intentions, you already have a plan!" The second elder said: "If it was ten years ago, I would have stopped Brother Tai even if I fought to the death, those Han people couldn't even protect themselves, why let us return to ⊥"
As soon as the second elder spoke, Elder Tai showed a look of relief
"But now...... Even if it is as strong as Taishan Yu, it is all defeated by the Han people when the son of today, and if we are forced to send it to the west, we have no intention of sending charcoal in the snow. The second elder spoke his mind.
"What about you, the third child?" Elder Bei looked at the Third Elder.
"Big brother, you and the second brother just decide, I'll listen to you." The third elder scratched his head and said
"Second child, you have understood my intentions, tell me, what should we do now?" The Great Elder asked.
"Big brother, if we want to return, this is the best opportunity, but the biggest obstacle in front of us is the need for a group of people." The second elder said slowly.
"Second brother, you're right, Xu has become more and more excessive over the years, if it weren't for the Su Shang clan in Dragon City, I would have killed him a long time ago." Bi has lived on the grassland for so many years, and the elder Tai, who has a kind face on the surface, is not a good stubble
"Big brother, what should we do?" The Second Elder and the Third Elder looked at Elder Blood Tai together
The Great Elder walked back and forth in the tent, and just as the two of them began to get a little irritated, the Great Elder spoke.
"Kill," Elder Tai finally made up his mind.
"The Su Bu clan of Dragon City......" The second elder reminded Elder Xia.
"Let Feng'er do it. "If you can't even handle this little matter today, then there's no need for us to go back." ”
