"Know the Western Regions? Could it be ......" Shao Yun felt a burst of excitement in his heart, his face was full of red light, and he hurriedly said: "It should be!" You're welcome! ”

Not only is he excited, but the merchant who returns with him, who is not excited?

The Qin army understands the Western Regions, and it is likely that they are going to use troops against the Western Regions, otherwise, what does the Qin army do if they have nothing to do with the Western Regions?

There are a lot of good things in the Western Regions, and there are no in the Central Plains, and they will make a lot of money if they are sold to the Central Plains, if the Qin State wants to use troops in the Western Regions, then the trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions will be more convenient, and the profits will be more.

"Quick. Bring the jade, pomegranates, grapes and alfalfa from Kunshan, and I will give Qin Jun a generous gift. Shao Yun trembled with excitement, and his face was flushed.

The Qin army sent troops to the Western Regions, which was a supreme blessing for them merchants. Not only Shao Yun thinks so, but also a group of businessmen, who might as well think?

"You don't know, our son won't accept gifts, so don't bother." The leader of the Qin army hurriedly stopped it.

"No, no, no, this gift must be given." Shao Yun insisted, and said: "Although I am not from Qin, I know that the Qin State is incorruptible, and from the King of Qin to the common people, they will not accept gifts." But we had to give it. ”

The tone is not high, but it is resolute.

"Since you're stubborn, bring it. If you touch a gray nose, don't blame me for not reminding you. The leader of the Qin army shook his head and disagreed.

Shao Yun and his party were in a hurry, picking up the good ones, and then sent a few people to follow Shao Yun.

Shao Yun, led by the leader of the Qin army, came to the largest tabernacle. This is Qin Yiren's Chinese military tent.

"Let's go inside." The leader of the Qin army stood still. Chong Shao Yundao.

Shao Yun was like seeing an ancestor. Tidy up the clothes again and again, until he was satisfied, then he smiled on his face and entered the Chinese military tent.

As soon as he entered the Chinese military tent, Shao Yun was startled, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he couldn't help but tremble. Not because of anything else. It's just that there are a lot of Qin generals in it, all of them are extremely tough, although they didn't do it deliberately, the murderous aura that naturally exudes makes people's hearts palpitate.

Shao Yun was a businessman, and he had never seen such a solemn scene, and he couldn't do it if he wasn't scared.

Qin Yiren smiled at Shao Yun.

For Shao Yun, who had palpitations, Qin Yiren's smile was too timely, which made his heart feel a little wider, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with his fists. Said: "I've seen Childe." ”

"Sit down." Qin Yiren waved his hand, and Meng Zhao hurriedly moved a low table.

Shao Yun thanked him. Only then did he sit down cautiously and said, "Childe, I just returned from the Western Regions, and I brought some things from the Western Regions, and I asked Childe to smile." ”

A few accompanying merchants hurriedly delivered the gifts.

Qin Yiren took a look, there were high-quality Kunshan jade, fresh pomegranates, raisins, and alfalfa.

"Forget about this Kunshan jade, I will buy these pomegranates, raisins, and alfalfa." Qin Yiren nodded and said, "How many pomegranates, raisins, and alfalfa are there?" I bought them all. ”

"Childe wants to buy it?" Shao Yun was taken aback, and felt a little painful.

He was afraid that Qin Yiren would buy it at a low price, in that case, his hard work would be in vain, and he would lose all his money.

"Don't worry, I'll buy it at 20% higher than the market price." Of course, Qin Yiren understood his thoughts.

"Childe, how did this come about?" Shao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Take it all. I'm going to use it as a reward. Qin Yiren waved his right hand, and Meng Zhao led someone to handle it.

Shao Yun called a merchant and told him a few words, and the merchant was busy leaving with Meng Zhao and them.

"You have only heard of the Western Regions, but you have not eaten the things of the Western Regions, and today, my son will let you taste it." Qin Yiren smiled at Huang Shigong and said, "It's all divided." ”

Zhu Hai hurriedly came over and distributed the food to the generals present.

"Click!" A general picked up a pomegranate, ate it as an apple, opened his mouth, bit it down hard, and shouted: "It's so unpalatable!" It's so unpalatable! ”

"This ......" he didn't make a fuss, and those generals held pomegranates as if they were holding hedgehogs, neither eating nor throwing them, and they looked embarrassed.

"You, you're so anxious, pomegranates don't eat like this, you have to peel them first." Qin Yiren was a little funny, picked up the pomegranate, peeled off the old skin, and exposed the flesh, only then chewed slowly, the entrance was sweet and delicious.

With Qin Yiren's example, the generals drew scoops according to the gourd, and praised loudly with sweet mouths.

After eating the pomegranate, Qin Yiren misses it a lot, in another time and space, these fruits are very common, but in the Warring States Period, they are very expensive, and what is even funnier is that some people actually make jokes.

Picking up a piece of raisins and putting it in his mouth, Qin Yiren's nostalgia was even stronger, and being able to eat raisins in the Warring States Period made people have to miss another time and space.

"Delicious! Delicious! "The generals ate raisins, without a little Sven sign, like a cow biting a herd pill, a lot of stuffed into their mouths, and praised vigorously.

After eating the raisins, their eyes rolled around, looking at their appearance, as if they wanted to come with a few more catties.

Qin Yiren picked up the alfalfa and said, "This is alfalfa, a kind of pasture, which cattle, sheep and horses like to eat." However, it can also be used to cook soup, which will have a fresh fragrance and make people want to eat it. ”

"Childe Takami." Shao Yun was very surprised, he definitely didn't expect that Qin Yiren was very familiar with these things, and he didn't make any jokes during the whole process.

"I just want you to tell us about the situation in the Western Regions." Qin Yiren put down the alfalfa and rushed to Shao Yundao.

"Childe asked, Shao Yun didn't dare to say nothing." Shao Yun's spirits were lifted and he said, "The Western Regions are ......"

With Shao Yun's introduction, Qin Yiren and the others had a comprehensive understanding of the Western Regions.

At this time, the Western Regions were not much different from the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, except that the Dayue clan did not move westward on a large scale, there was no major difference. The Da Yue clan moved west, and it was until the king of the Yue clan was killed by the Xiongnu, and there was still some time.

In the Western Regions, there are many countries, and there are no less than thirty or forty countries. Small countries have only a few hundred people, and large countries have tens of thousands of people, mainly Wusun, Dawan, Shule, Shanshan, Cheshi and other big countries.

The biggest difference between the Western Regions and modern Xinjiang is: The oases of the Western Regions during the Warring States period were everywhere. And not reckless yellow sand.

The reason why Xinjiang is now desertified is serious. One is because of geological changes, and the other is because it is not well protected. Like Lop Nur, which in ancient times was synonymous with paradise, with sweet lakes, lush grasslands, and beautiful natural scenery. In modern times, it is synonymous with deserts.

Shao Yun was just the first batch of merchants that Qin Yiren consulted. After that, Qin Yiren consulted the merchants who were constantly returning eastward. Gained a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Western Regions.

"The Western Regions, we already know very clearly, and we are no longer the two eyes that we used to be." Qin Yiren gathered all the generals together and said, "It's just that the Western Regions are too cold, no worse than the desert, and now it is a snowy winter, so it is not suitable to march." My intention, let's go back to Longxi County first and rest in Longxi. Prepare to enter the Western Regions in the spring of next year. ”

"I'm for it!"

"Yes."

It's winter now, and it's starting to snow. It's cold, and it's not the season to use soldiers. It is the best move to withdraw to Longxi to rest and prepare to enter the Western Regions in the coming year, and the generals naturally have no objections.

"This time, we set out from Jiuyuan County to attack the Hexi Corridor and exterminate the alien races of Lin Hu, Lou Fu, Loulan, Xiu Tu, and Hun Evil, and the Qianli Hexi Corridor is already Daqin's! I am very pleased that you have made new contributions to the development of Great Qin's territory! Father will be very happy! Now, let's return to Longxi with the joy of victory! Qin Yiren lectured again.

"Haha!" The generals were overjoyed and burst into laughter.

The main purpose of this attack on the Hexi Corridor was to prepare for the march into the Western Regions in the coming year. If the Hexi Corridor is not built this year, it is not impossible to fight again next year, but it will add a lot of difficulties. Now, the task of the Qin army has been successfully completed, and with the joy of victory, with countless captures, the Qin army has begun to retreat.

The Hexi Corridor is now a long and narrow place in the northwest of Gansu Province, which is an important place connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and its strategic position is extremely important.

In order to ensure the unimpeded passage of this strategic route, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the "Four Counties of Hexi" after Huo Qubing captured the Hexi Corridor, which is now Jiuquan, Wuwei, Zhangye and Dunhuang.

Qin Yiren had just captured the Hexi Corridor, and the Qin State had not had time to set up a county here, and it was impossible for the Qin army to spend the winter in the Hexi Corridor, so they could only go to Longxi.

Qin Yiren led the army to set off from Xiaofangpan and rushed towards Longxi County. Along the way, the soldiers were very happy, talking and laughing, and they were not tired of marching, but after more than ten days, they arrived in Longxi County.

Longxi County was an important strategic location in the northwest of the Qin State, and its main role was to prevent nuisances from Qiang.

The county guard of Longxi got the news and took people out of the city early to greet him.

The county keeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, and he is very strong, however, he does not attract everyone's attention.

"That's ......" Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, Wang Qian, Meng Wu, Zhu Hai, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Lu Jujian, Gai Nie, and a group of generals, all with round eyes and shocked faces, looked at the person beside the county guard.

"Oh my God!" Qin Yiren's eyes bulged bigger than a cow's eyes, and his jaw almost broke the horse's back, and his face was shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.

The man beside the county guard was like a giant, with a height of two meters and four or five, and Qin Yiren was riding on a war horse, and he had to raise his head when he looked at him.

A big man of such height, Qin Yiren thought at first glance that it was the basketball star known as the little giant who had crossed over.

This person is not only terrifying in height, but also terrifying in body, with big shoulders and a round waist, like an iron tower. A pair of eyes ran past the brass bells, inlaid in the sockets like two bright lights.

"This is ......" Qin Yiren was very curious, where did such a tall man come from.

"Weng Zhong has seen Childe!" This person stepped forward and clasped his fists at Qin Yiren.

Is that called a fist? Qin Yiren glanced at the giant hammer in Zhu Hai's hand, these fists were not much smaller than the giant hammer in Zhu Hai's hand, and they were scary to look at.

"Yu Yu!" A war horse screamed, and he couldn't help but retreat.

Not for anything else, but Weng Zhong's voice was too loud, like thunder, which made people's hearts palpitate.

"Weng Zhong? Twelve Golden Man Prototypes! "Qin Yiren almost fell off his horse. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
