In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Ma Chao led an army of 50,000 and 10,000 musketeers to enter the country of Kangju.

Ma Chaoda broke the Huns, beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured 30,000 people, and obtained 60,000 Xiongnu populations, and rescued 40,000 Kangju people.

However, the national teacher Zhou did not doubt his plan, moved the population of Kangju country, and returned to Chigu City with the captives.

To Chigu City, Ma Chao killed 3,000 people because of the Huns' rebellion and disobedience, and moved the entire Xiongnu population to the Tarim River and entered the Great Western Regions City to assist in the construction of the Great Western Regions City.

The population of 40,000 in Kangjuguo has all entered Chigu Castle, making this small city with a population of only 20,000 seem crowded, but at the same time, it has also truly become the center of the Tianshan Mountains.

The city of the Great Western Regions had to be surrendered by the Xiongnu with 30,000 troops and a population of 60,000, all of which were turned into civilian forces and participated in the construction.

At this time, Ma Chao took a year, went through several battles, and shocked Central Asia.

Such a major event will naturally be introduced to the Central Plains, and Cao Cao was greatly annoyed when he learned that Ma Chao had risen up in the Western Regions again.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted to send Xiahou Yuan out of the Yumen Pass to crusade against Ma Chao, but considering that Ma Chao now has military technologies such as flying balls, gunpowder guns and sky-bombing cannons, he thought about it for a long time and gave up the idea.

At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, the news that Cao Cao called the king of Wei in Yecheng came to the Western Regions, Ma Chao scolded Cao Cao ****, and the national teacher Zhou Budo said: "The king and Cao Cao have a common hatred, but they should focus on the overall situation." I suggest that the king should congratulate Cao Cao on his accession to the throne, and make it clear that he does not want to be an enemy of the king of Wei, so that he can relax his vigilance against the king and concentrate his forces against the south. When Cao Cao raised troops to invade the south, the king raised troops to the east again, smashed Yumen Pass, recaptured Liangzhou, and avenged the Ma family! ”

Ma Chao sighed helplessly, but he had to admit that Zhou Budo's strategic deployment was conducive to the development of the Western Regions.

After three months of training, it was found that among the Huns, there were more than 1,000 people of Han Chinese blood, and these people were obviously easier to domesticate.

Among them, there is a man named Lu Qicai, who is twenty years old, the same age as Zhou Budo, and has learned all the Chenhe languages in three months.

Zhou Budo summoned this Lu Qicai alone, and when he asked, he learned that this person was actually a fellow villager of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and after Lu Xuan, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

It turned out that Lu Juan was a native of Peifengyi (Feng County, Jiangsu), and Liu Bang was a friend of the same township, and had the same birthday as Liu Bang. In the Chu-Han War, Lu Juan was promoted to Taiwei, and Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and was named King of Yan. Later, Lu Juan and Chen Feng rebelled, and Liu Bang attacked Lu Juan with Fan Hao and Zhou Bo, and captured Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other counties.

Lu Juan then led thousands of people, including his family members and cronies, to flee to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu named him the king of Donghulu.

This Lu Qicai is one of Lu Juan's descendants.

Zhou Budo clarified Lu Qicai's life experience, and couldn't help but sigh, the two communicated for a long time, and Zhou Budo finally asked Lu Qicai to be the assistant secretary of the National Teacher's Mansion.

Lu Qicai in the Huns, the status of ordinary, although after more than ten generations of integration, but there are still some Han traditions, Zhou Budo took advantage of this, let him enter the government, specializing in the Xiongnu education.

Lu Qicai, as a Huns, persuaded more than 1,000 people with similar identities to himself, and even caused the Hun captives and clansmen to be divided.

Zhou Budo used the strategy of sticks and turnips to successfully transform a small number of Huns, and he believed that after a period of time, he would definitely be able to successfully domesticate all the Huns and bring the city of the Great Western Regions to a higher level.

--

The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce doesn't know why, everyone is working hard.

Yang Xi never uses deceitful methods, always leads by example, and infects everyone around him with his actions.

Whether it is a high-level or an ordinary county citizen, as long as you have seen Yang Xi, you will always see him amiable and hardworking, and he always has to go to the county people, even if it is to take a hand with the cement workers, or to push a slope for the old farmers who are pushing the cart.

This kind of deeds has been introduced to the people of the county for decades, and sometimes the newspapers will report it a little, adding fuel to the fire, making its image a neighborhood myth for any Chenhe person.

Yang Xi thought that he really wanted to help these lovely people, and he did.

Lu Dazhi is also very serious and hard-working, and he has no reason to be lazy.

Since crossing the Atlantic to the African continent last year, Lu Dazhi has been walking all the way, finally bypassing the Cape of Good Hope and reaching the coast of East Africa.

In the East African grassland, on the hot land, a group of more than ten people is walking with difficulty.

The leader, who is seven feet five inches tall, looks a little thin, has a bushy beard, and looks like he has not been taken care of for many days, and he looks dirty.

This bearded person is Cao Zhi.

At this moment, Cao Zhi was carrying a jackal-like beast on his shoulders, and the rest of the people had their own gains on their shoulders, and even four of them were carrying a lion.

"Gongzi Zhi, we've been out for three days, so Lu Dazhi, shouldn't you drive the boat away?" One person was a little worried, after all, he was away from home, this African grassland, he had seen it.

"Humph! As far as you can, although Lu Dazhi belongs to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, he still counts when he talks, and if he says that he will be supplied for three days, he will definitely wait until the last moment! There are still two hours left, and we will be able to catch up! The other said disdainfully.

Cao Zhi moved the beast corpse on his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, the time is just right, but don't be late, when you are at the Cape of Good Hope, there are more than 300 people who have not returned." ”

The group continued to walk forward, and Cao Zhi was a little silent.

After two years of sailing experience, Cao Zhi became more calm and resolute, but the more he moved forward, the more doubtful he became.

In Yang Xi's book "Geography", he wrote almost everything he saw and heard along the way. For example, this lion, if it weren't for the geography book, this line of people would never have paid attention, and it should be inevitable that they would be attacked and lose a few people.

However, according to the introduction of "Geography", Cao Zhi saw at a glance that this was a murderous thing, and in the end, more than ten people and the power of crossbows were combined to kill it.

Cao Zhi has always wondered why he has studied Yang Xi for a long time, and he has never been out of the border of the Han Dynasty throughout his life, so why is he so precious about overseas things?

Not only Cao Zhi, in fact, many people have this doubt.

But what they are most excited about at the moment is that it is said that the next stop is a place called Egypt, where it is said that there is a structure called the pyramids!

This time, more than 100 people did not rush back to the bay where the ship docked in time, and Lu Dazhi did not care whether he was already killed or late, as long as he did not arrive at the point, he would never wait any longer.

The fleet set off on time, and everyone who was still on board at the moment was very happy, after all, from the map, it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to home, and they were still on board at this time.

They live!

At this time, there were only 21 ships left in the entire fleet, and the number of people had been reduced from more than 10,000 to 6,500. Even the ship's guards were reduced from 3,000 to 2,07.
