Before the assembly in Beiping, Youzhou, the Western Regions delegation set off with the team of the eldest prince Liu Huan to Sili, and went out of Yumen Pass through Chang'an to Loulan and Wusun and other small countries in the Western Regions, and then turned northwest to pass through Tubo and Tianzhu all the way through dozens of countries before turning back to return to Beiping from Yumen Chang'an Luoyang line, the whole trip took two years and one month! Traveling more than 60,000 miles, while promoting the prestige of the Han Dynasty, it had a very far-reaching impact on the cultural exchanges between countries at that time, and also wrote a strong stroke in the history books.

Liu Yi was entrusted to his eldest son Liu Huan to complete many of the specific work of the Western Regions Mission, not only to examine his ability to deal with practice, but also to pass on his own ideas, as a traverser, Liu Yi stood at a height and his vision was difficult to compare with any person at that time, although the hegemony of the world was one of the most important goals in his life, but it was by no means the only one. The Western Regions Mission, the Flying Tiger Navy, and the equipment station, Lang Sheng's focus is not all on the military, a strong Han is not only strong in political and economic force, but also in the glorious cultural heritage, how to promote the culture of the strong Han to expand its influence? This kind of cultural exchange is one of them, and there is another that is more simple and straightforward, and that is conquest by force! Of course, before the unification of the Han Dynasty at this time, all this was just the ideal in Langsheng's heart!

As the descendants of Zhang Qian, Ban Chao and others, in modern terms, young people like Huang Shen and Mian Ming have a plot in the Western Regions in their hearts, and the late Han Dynasty would never give them such an opportunity, but in this life there is Liu Yi's appearance, it is precisely because of his strength that the north can always maintain stability in the troubled times, and the Han has never lost its deterrent power in the hearts of foreign races, and they are excited and excited to have the opportunity to inherit the will of their ancestors, and after they have a deep talk with King Yan, adding surprise and admiration.

Everyone in the world says that Liu Yi looks at people like a torch, as long as talents can always be fully exerted under him, he never hesitates to give young people opportunities, Zhang Hu, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Pang Tong are all the same. This time to the Western Regions, King Yan also gave these two young professionals a lot of power, which exceeded their expectations, but this was only one of the surprises. The greater surprise comes from King Yan's understanding of the Western Regions and the surrounding countries of the Han Dynasty, many of which are not among the two of them, as an invincible general who moves the world, Liu Yi's past has long been spread in the world, no matter which version it is, it is certain that King Yan has not been to those places, but listening to what he said makes people have to believe it.

Huang Shen and the team will never have the slightest doubt about King Yan's words, this is also the consistent thinking of the people in Yan Land, King Yan and the general will never be wrong, and countless times in the past can be used as a sufficient example. It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Yi follows Zhao Gao's actions now, it is not good that the deer will be called a horse in Yandi, at least the people will be like this, more than ten years of accumulation, from not eating and clothing to eating and dressing and living comfortably, Liu Yi's prestige is indeed unprecedented, especially in Youzhou, you must not use rumors to deal with King Yan, useless!

The subsequent itinerary also verified Liu Yi's words to a large extent, although there were some errors in the specific details, but it could not affect the hearts of the people in the mission to look up to the prescient mountains of King Yan. One of them is Huang Shen Huang Jinzhi, as the confidant of the eldest prince Liu Huan, he is the only person who can receive wives and concubines in the Western Regions and other countries with the handwriting of King Yan, although Liu Yi has a joke in this statement, which shows that he values this person, especially during the journey of the Kushan Empire, there is even a princess who fell in love with the young and handsome Huang Shen, and expressed her intention to trade with the Han Dynasty. And this Kushan Empire is the territory of India that Liu Yi mentioned before!

The ancient history of the world in later generations is one of Liu Yi's interests, but it is impossible to memorize it all in his mind, in his impression, he doesn't even know what period India is in at this time, but he has heard a few people who spread Buddhism talk about the kingdom of Satavahana, and Liu Yi's biggest memory of this ancient civilization like China is that it has a strict hierarchy, the first class is called Brahmin, and the rest can't be remembered! Let the Western Regions mission go to India, Liu Yi's biggest purpose is to introduce a crop that the Han Dynasty did not have as soon as possible, that is, cotton, compared with the kapok and silk used by the Han Dynasty today, cotton obviously has the dual advantages of weight and cold resistance, and can be used as a strategic material, and this ancient civilization should still have a lot of accumulation.

He mentioned Tianzhu several times in his words, although the country with this name did not appear in the place where the mission passed, but its hierarchy and the prosperity of Buddhism are no different from what King Yan said, and over time, everyone is used to calling this area Tianzhu, Liu Yi once again influenced history with the insights of later generations! This Kushan Empire was not built in India itself, but a powerful country established after the invasion of the Great Yue Clan, not only them, but also the Ann, Greeks, and Romans have established their own territories in today's India, but it is somewhat similar to the disputes of the Han Dynasty at this time, of course, these details Liu Yicheng did not know, it was the return of the Western Regions Mission that gave him a deeper understanding of the neighboring countries of the Great Han, and this can be regarded as the gathering place of several major civilizations.

Although the Kushan Empire is strong, it is not enough to unify the whole territory, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have a lot of contacts with the Han Dynasty, knowing that there is a strong and wealthy country in their east, and under the careful introduction of Huang Shen and others, they also have a clearer understanding of today's Han Dynasty, the name of Liu Yi, the king of Yan, is not only resounding all over the Western Regions, but also known by many nobles here! After seeing the many exquisite items brought by the Han Dynasty and the force of those elite soldiers, the idea of forming a good alliance with the Han Dynasty to unify the territory by virtue of his strength was born, so marriage became the best way!

Speaking of the strength of the Han Dynasty, I have to mention another person in the Western Regions Mission, that is the brother of the second general's wife Wang Xinran, Nie Li, whose swordsmanship can be compared with the first divine sword Wang Yue, in the capital of the Kushan Empire, Nie Li defeated 97 warriors from all over the world with an iron rod in his hand, which became one of the most sensational news at that time.

Nie Li is eight feet long, and he can be regarded as a burly man among the big men, but many of the rest and Roman warriors are a head taller than him, and their bodies look much stronger, and some of them are built with muscles, which is daunting! Later, when Nie Li returned to Dahan, he was quite emotional when he saw Zhao Wuxian, if this giant man was there that day, he would be able to raise the prestige of my Dahan! In the technical attack, the strong body is only an important part of it, and the fighting skills also account for a large proportion, Nie Li is to use its elusive swordsmanship to let these people with martial arts and conceit see what is called the martial arts of the great man, and few people can support thirty moves under him!

Originally, this matter was just a temporary battle of will, with Nie Li's martial arts cultivation and did not want to go on for a long time, but Wang Fu and Huang Shen felt that this was the best way to promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and under the persuasion of Nie Li, he continued to persevere, and the result was just as the two expected, after winning ninety-seven consecutive games for two months, the Kushan Empire and its surrounding countries all knew that there was a magical master of the Eastern Country, and none of those warriors and warriors who were invincible on weekdays could win in front of him. Later, when Liu Yi heard about this, he greatly appreciated and recommended Nie Li's practice of raising the prestige of the Han Dynasty outside the territory, and specially instructed the imperial court to draw up a decree to respect him as a court swordsman!
