After sending away Shanshan's envoy, Liu Zhang was about to go to rest, but he didn't expect the guards to rush in again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Report, the messenger at the front of the division insists on asking to see him, please make it public."

"The messenger of the front of the Che Division? Didn't I already ask Shanshan's envoy to bring me a message, why do I still want to see you? Did he say anything? ”

"Back to the lord, he didn't say anything, just said that he was the little prince in the front of the driver, and he wanted to see the lord."

"Then let's meet."

After a while, a young man of different races walked in and saluted upwards.

"Almaty, the messenger in front of the charioteer, has seen the adults."

"Almaty, you can't go on a tour, you have to see me, do you have something important?"

"My father once told me to tell my lord about the military situation, but I didn't dare to go immediately."

"What kind of military situation? Tell me about it. ”

"I wonder if my lord is here to avenge Ma Chao?"

"Revenge with Ma Chao? Why? ”

"Han has a saying in the Western Regions: Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away. Ma Chao was defeated in the long history of the Western Regions, and the adults came to the Western Regions in the name of the imperial court, so all the countries in the Western Regions were frightened, and they were afraid of being condemned by the adults. ”

"Ma Chao is just a fake name of the imperial court, and I have no intention of pursuing this matter."

"Then I'll be relieved to wait."

"But what's the secret?"

Later, a Han man surnamed Yan came, and persuaded his father to say, saying, saying that he was an adult's subordinate, and said that if his father could mobilize all the ministries in the Western Regions and unite to drive Ma Chao away, then the adult would definitely send troops to the Western Regions. My father was a little suspicious at the time, but all countries had been suffering for a long time, and after a little contact, all parties responded. After Ma Chao's defeat, his father was uneasy, not knowing whether he was fooled or deceived by the Huns. Now that the lord is leading the army to come, my father will order him to tell the truth, whether it is merit or demerit, it is all up to the lord to decide. ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, it turned out to be Yan Xing, a madman, who did the incident. Why is he everywhere?

"It seems that you have been fooled, and I have nothing to do with this matter. I'm coming to the Western Regions, I can come at any time, and I don't need to send someone to play such a conspiracy. It is your right to resist oppression in the countries of the Western Regions, and this is nothing, there is no need to be afraid. However," Liu Zhang immediately changed his words, "I am here to investigate the collusion with the Xiongnu in the Western Regions." Can you tell me about this? "He can ignore Ma Chao's attack, but if he colludes with the Huns, he is welcome.

"After the Northern Xiongnu moved westward, there were not many Xiongnu in the Western Regions."

"How much is it? Where are they in general? Pang Long asked.

"Sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands, not too many anyway. I heard that most of them went further west, across the Aral Sea, further west. Those who stayed were mainly active in the Kangju and Yueshi areas. ”

"Have you ever been in contact with the Huns?"

"Nope. My lord, the front of my car pool has always been devoted to the Han Dynasty, and it has long ceased to be enslaved by the Huns. ”

Almaty said this because the main way the Huns ruled the Western Regions and the other tribes of the steppe was through slavery.

The Xiongnu ruled the Western Regions mainly in the following ways:

First, establish a servant captain. In order to strengthen the role of the Western Regions as a rear base, the Xiongnu set up a special servant commander in the Western Regions around 93 BC. The servant commanders were set up between Yanqi, Weisu, and Yuli, so that the Xiongnu nobles not only had a rich nomadic area, but also had a firm grip on the oasis city-states of the Western Regions. The countries of the Western Regions mainly exist in the form of city-states, and many of them are in the mixed form of nomadism, farming, and commerce.

Second, the proton system is implemented. In order to cultivate their cronies, the Xiongnu also implemented a proton system for the countries of the Western Regions, that is, the princes of the city-states in the Western Regions were stationed in the Xiongnu court as hostages, so as to control the royal families of various countries. The length of time these protons lived in the Xiongnu was determined by the Xiongnu rulers depending on the development of the situation in the Western Regions. If necessary, send them back to their homeland at any time, either as kings, or as military commanders, or as ministers. These people were completely obedient to the Xiongnu and became the most reliable eyes and ears and supporters of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions.

Third, it is necessary to set up a prison state and a permanent mission. After the Xiongnu conquered the Western Regions, they immediately set up prison states in some city-states such as Qiuci and other places, that is, they sent people to be stationed in the Western Regions city-states to supervise the behavior of various countries, and at the same time sent missions to supervise various countries to strictly prevent rebellion against the Xiongnu, and the Han Dynasty sent envoys to contact the countries of the Western Regions.

Fourth, heavy taxation. The purpose of the Xiongnu's control of the Western Regions was to plunder the wealth of the Western Regions, and the main way to do so was to increase taxes. The important duty of the "servant captains" set up in the Western Regions was to collect taxes from the countries of the Western Regions. In these ways, the Xiongnu not only controlled the countries of the Western Regions, but also controlled the communication lines from the Western Regions to the Central Plains.

"Then, do you know which Western Regions states have contact with the Xiongnu, or often contact?"

"I stayed here to report this to my lords. Originally, my father united with other tribes and wanted to drive away the remnants of Ma Chao and other Xilianglai, but I didn't expect that somehow, the Huns also got involved, and then we secretly conducted an investigation, which was the result of the investigation. The list is recorded in the time and place of contact between various countries and the Huns, please take a look. ”

Liu Zhang took it and looked at it, and said approvingly: "Very good." Your ministry is really a big man. Rest assured, those who are committed to the Han will be blessed by the Han, and those who admire China will shine for the glory of China. Conversely, you know the consequences. ”

"My lord, there is a sentence that I don't know if to ask?"

"Ask, isn't that what you want to ask when you see me?"

"I wonder how long you want to stay in the Western Regions?"

"What do you mean?"

"Since the Later Han Dynasty, the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty have three links and three uniques, others are okay, and the Huns have long had something to do with it, only the front part of my chariot division is so heart-oriented to the Han Dynasty, often has no place to return, and it is difficult to survive in the Western Regions. If the adults are like before this time, the wind blows and the grass rises again, then it is better to invite the adults to take our department with them when they leave, my department is only a few thousand people, and it will not be too difficult to settle it. ”

Almaty is telling the truth.

The Eastern Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions became worse and worse, which gave others the opportunity to meddle in the Western Regions.

The Xiongnu have always had influence on the Western Regions, and several large countries in the Western Regions have gradually begun to try to get rid of the influence of the Han Dynasty after the Han's control over the Western Regions declined. Today's Western Regions is no longer the Western Regions of the Western Han Dynasty. If in the Western Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was in its heyday in the Western Regions, and entered the Western Regions like Liu Zhang, the lords of the Western Regions would have already come over to greet them, and they would have brought out good food, good drink, good bodyguards and good women.

If the Han forces left the Western Regions, the most affected were those forces that had been close to the Han Dynasty.

"I'm sure you've heard of me, I don't act like anyone else." When Liu Zhang said this, he paused and said, "I came to the Western Regions this time to completely solve the problem of the Western Regions. As I just said, those who have their hearts towards the Han Dynasty will be blessed by the Han Dynasty, and those who admire China will shine for the glory of China. You should have heard about it, next month, on September 9, the Double Ninth Festival, I will meet all the departments of the Western Regions in its Qiancheng Alliance, at that time, the grievances and grievances will be cleared, whether to leave or stay, it is all voluntary, and the Western Regions will also become history!
