Because of Xun and the others, the White Tiger Army, which had arrived at Yumen Pass, was ordered to be stationed on the spot and wait for Hu Hai's order. www.biquge.info Of course, when the weather turned cold, Hu Hai didn't plan to let the White Tiger Army attack the countries of the Western Regions when the weather was cold.

After all, the Western Regions had already been covered by heavy snow at this time. The thick snow was a great challenge for the march and logistical supplies, not to mention, because of the floods that affected more than ten counties in the summer, Hu Hai ordered the suspension of the original order to transport logistics supplies to the White Tiger Army, except for the weapons and grain and grass carried by the White Tiger Army itself, Daqin was not ready to march into the Western Regions on a large scale.

In Hu Hai's vision, once the White Tiger Army marched westward, it would naturally wipe out the Western Regions countries entrenched around the Tarim Basin in one fell swoop, and at least extend the tentacles of Great Qin to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, that is, to include the entire Xinjiang into the territory of Great Qin.

At the beginning of spring, when the logistics supplies are in place, the weather in the Western Regions is warmer, and after the snow melts, the army will enter the Western Regions in one fell swoop. Why not?

……

Le Jin said that Xun and the others were dazzled, and what he said was indeed the truth.

At this time, the Yue clan and the Qiang people had not been beaten away by the Huns, and the Silk Road was not even Mao, and the contact between the people of the Western Regions and the Central Plains Dynasty was almost equal to zero. The countries of the Western Regions say that they are small countries and states at best, but if they are not good, they are like hillbillies compared to Great Qin. Even if Kaoru and the others are all princes and princesses of the Western Regions, but so what?

Kaoru and the others never knew that there were so many people in the world; It turns out that this avenue can be built so wide and so long, which is no longer possible for man; It turned out that in addition to linen, there was such fine silk; It turned out that the city of himself and others was not even comparable to the most ordinary border city in Great Qin. And that's just the most remote city in Great Qin.

Such thoughts were even more obvious after they passed the Great Scatter Pass and entered the Guanzhong.

Guanzhong, which is the foundation of Great Qin, should have the highest degree of development at this time in the territory of tens of thousands of miles of Great Qin, and whether it is population, economy or commercial activities, it is far more than Chudi, Qidi, and Zhao outside the Guan, which were originally prosperous places.

After all, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, Daqin basically changed the previous always to guard against the danger of being captured by the Wei State, but turned from defense to offense. Guanzhong, which has not been war-torn for more than 100 years, has already surpassed the Central Plains.

But this is only temporary. As Great Qin began to recuperate. After thinking about it, the land of the Central Plains will flourish again in a few years. After all, the Central Plains has been the center of Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

Along the way, the eyes were dazzling, and at the same time, Xun and the others' awe of Daqin also became more and more profound. To know. They only traveled to the most remote west of this powerful empire called Great Qin. There are also three vast areas of southeast, south, south and north that they have never seen before. But it's this remote western frontier. It is already more than ten times that of Pu Changhai and even the entire Western Regions.

How big the Great Qin Empire was, they couldn't imagine it anymore. But they knew one thing, that is, these princes of the Western Regions were actually not much different from the sons of a county commander under the rule of Great Qin, and even inferior. Not to mention that they are all princes and princesses who have died in the country.

Therefore, after hearing that Ying'an is the emperor's clan, Xun Suer and the others put their attitude more respectful, but on the other hand, they were slightly relieved in their hearts. His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, who rules over this vast land of unknown thousands of miles or even hundreds of millions of miles, sent the clan to receive himself and others, can it be regarded as attaching importance to himself and others?

The emperor who rules such a huge empire, how many billions of people under his rule, maybe he won't bother with the small countries in the Western Regions, right?

After the princes had finished their visits, Xun suddenly took a few steps forward and respectfully raised a roll of white cloth in front of Ying'an, bowed down and said, "This is a gift from the Western Regions to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, and I also ask Lord Shilang to forward it on my behalf." ”

These words were naturally relayed to Ying'an by the translator next to them.

Ying An smiled when he heard this: "You princes don't need to be polite, I will come to contact you on the order of Your Majesty, and in three days, His Majesty the Emperor will summon you princes in my palace." These tributes to Your Majesty, the princes can directly present them to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin. ”

Naturally, it is impossible for the Ministry of Rites to accept the gifts presented to Hu Hai by the people of the Western Regions at this time, not to mention that now the people of the Western Regions have come to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin, as early as three days ago, it has been quietly spread throughout Xianyang through the Ministry of Rites. Nowadays, the people of Xianyang basically know that in the past few days, many small countries thousands of miles away from Great Qin have sent princes to meet His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor.

All nations come to the dynasty, it seems that the first hints are coming!

Wouldn't it be better for these princes of the Western Regions to present to the emperor themselves on the main hall of Xianyang Palace?

After saying this, Ying An leaned over and asked: "The Ministry of Rites has arranged a residence for the princes in Xianyang City, and we will hold a banquet for the princes tonight." Please! ”

Hearing the translator's words, Xun suddenly and the others only thought that this was the rule of Daqin, so they no longer insisted on it, boarded the carriage of the Ministry of Rites, and walked along Xianyang City, thirty miles away from the avenue.

As for the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who escorted Xun Su and others into Xianyang, they followed the soldiers to the Bashang camp. Whether they leave or stay depends on how the military department arranges it.

The snow in the sky was falling heavier and heavier, and the whole land was white. The journey of thirty miles is not too far, but for more than an hour, stepping on the edge of dusk, under the leadership of Ying'an, Xun and his party finally saw the capital of the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang, which had been imagined countless times in their hearts.

It's just that no matter what they had imagined, they never thought that the Xianyang City that they and the others saw with their own eyes would be like this. It was a huge city without walls.

Without the towering city walls they imagined in their hearts, the thick and sturdy city gates, and the countless black-armored Qin troops who came and went, it was a giant city without walls in the twilight and in the snow.

Approaching dusk, thousands of lights in Xianyang City are lit up, and the rows of lights turn Xianyang City in the wind and snow into a city of light that cannot be seen at a glance.

Nature is infinitely powerful, and the snowflakes that fall from the sky fly and coat the whole earth in a layer of silver.

White is snow, black is the city, orange* is light; Three different shades, strangely blended together, quiet and mysterious, draped the entire Xianyang City with a layer of dreamlike light.

It does not have towering walls, and there are no countless soldiers patrolling back and forth; Because of the cover of the snow, it has restrained the domineering spirit that swallows thousands of miles, leaving behind the endless vicissitudes of life after the endless snow and the lights in the sky are mixed with the simple black, and the heaviness is coming.

You can see the clusters of people moving like ants under the wind and snow in the fantastic giant city, but all you can hear is the sound of falling snow between heaven and earth. It seems to tell the story of the past of this ancient and great city.

It is not a city that should appear on earth;

It seems to have existed since ancient times. (To be continued......)
