It's cold at night in Blue City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The temperature dropped almost to about minus 10 degrees Celsius, and the air turned into ice.

Lighting an oil lamp, Wang Chao began to record what he had seen and heard in the past few days and the information he had received from various sources.

"Daxia is in the south of Dawan Xiweishui, to Chang'an more than 2,000 miles, its custom aborigines, there are city houses, its royal residence is in the city of Lanshi, all large and small cities are set up small and long, Xu Min is self-governing...... His soldiers are weak and war-...... feared."

On the silk cloth, these words were written, and the eyes of the dynasty also revealed a color of joy.

The envoy of the dynasty is different from Zhang Qian's chiseling through the Western Regions in history.

Zhang Qian chiseled through the Western Regions, in order to contact the Yueshi, flank the Xiongnu, and cut off the Xiongnu's right arm.

And the envoy of the dynasty is a probe soldier, who is here to investigate the reality of this Great Xia and Yueshi.

The dynasty itself knows this very well - for example, who today does not know the ambition of the Son of Heaven?

Therefore, along the way, he would carefully record what he observed, heard, saw, and even guessed in all the countries that the dynasty passed.

In the past ten days in Great Xia, the dynasty drank with the royal family and nobles of Great Xia every day, and went in and out of the city of Lanshi to inspect the country's national conditions, grassroots and army.

Basically, the bottom of the country is clear.

Is Great Xia the land of Tang Yu? The dynasty didn't understand.

However, this Great Xia is a typical weak country.

Its people are weak and at the mercy of their nobility to drive and whip, and few will resist.

His soldiers were cowardly - even the guards guarding the gates of his royal capital and the Praetorian Guards of the royal palace were lazy and lazy, and they looked like they could get by.

And most of the people in the army are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Even its Praetorian Guards were not fully armoured.

Such a country, such an army, let alone dealing with the Huns.

I'm afraid, even the real people can be bullied.

But......

The dynasty knows that there is a reason for this.

He picked up the pen and continued to write: "The ministers heard about it, and there is a reason for the decline of Daxia!" During the reign of his predecessor, the king named Oumu I, he was called the emperor, the north was poisonous, the west was in contention with Anxi, the south was in dispute with Kangju, and he dominated for many years, and then ......killed his son Oumu II.

Writing this, the dynasty is also full of a sense of justice in his chest.

For the Chinese, the regicide is undoubtedly to be spurned.

"Oumu II, killing his father, is not tolerated by the military and people of his country, but he uses the soldiers of the Yue clan to quell his internal strife, so that he can be king!"

"The Yueshi established Oumu II, and he was a subject of his people and animals, and he was able to take his gold and silver ...... at every turn."

"The minister heard it in Daxia, covered in the Han Yuande four years, five years, the Xiongnu all went west, first cut down Dawan, got its people's livestock, and then took Daxia, Yueshi, Kangju's people and livestock...... All the countries were defeated, and the Huns said: The whip of the king of heaven (the whip of Zeus) is to send an envoy to offer gold, pearls, and jade, wealth, and beauties, and craftsmen and utensils, and beg the Huns to withdraw their troops, so as to be peaceful......"

Writing this, the dynasty is also very emotional.

Since the beginning of Great Xia, the dynasty has seen bustling cities, busy market commerce, and large numbers of people.

The people here, although their appearance, skin color, and even the pupils of their eyes, are different from those in China.

However, there is a lot of gold here, the land here is very fertile, the resources here are innumerable, and there are cascading dangerous peaks, winding rivers, and magnificent and beautiful mountains.

On the plateau, the snow-capped mountains are capped, and on the plains, the water is murmuring.

It's just that agriculture and handicrafts here are extremely backward.

The Bactria people even stayed in an era similar to the slave owner's manor economy in the Zongzhou period, which made the dynasty sigh and sigh.

Compared with the Han family, the people of Daxia have fallen behind in an all-round way!

"Prince, please rest early, tomorrow, the Guishan is coming......" said an official who had been on an envoy with the dynasty as he pushed the door in.

Hearing this, Wang Chao nodded, handed the silk book in his hand to the other party, and instructed: "Be sure to keep it carefully, and when we come to the future, we will return to the court, meet the Son of Heaven, and perform this kind of recital!" ”

When the other party heard this, he also nodded solemnly.

At the beginning, when departing from Chang'an, the mission had more than 100 Hu Han entourage, officials, and guards.

However, after the mission crossed the Hexi Corridor, only twenty or thirty people remained, and the rest were either buried in the mountains of the Hexi Corridor, or were attacked and killed by local wild beasts and savages.

Even, the entire mission almost died in Hexi.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a Qiang tribe came to the aid of the mission and walked out of Hexi.

In the Western Regions, the mission also suffered many hardships, and several times it was almost wiped out.

Fortunately, the countries of the Western Regions gave the Han family behind the dynasty very much face, and many nobles even sent troops to protect, give guides, and provide all kinds of conveniences.

Even so, after the envoy came to this Great Xia, in addition to the dynasty, there was only this Han official from the Great Honglu and the dynasty itself.

The rest were buried in a foreign land and buried in barren mountains.

……………………………………

The next day, early in the morning, the dynasty was led by the maids of the Great Xia court to a hall in the Great Xia Palace.

The walls on both sides of the main hall are carved with beautiful murals.

These murals depict the stories of the previous kings of Bactria as well as some myths and legends.

In these frescoes, the most obvious is a goddess with an owl and other birds in her hands, which seems to be a goddess that the Bactrian people worship very much.

After a few glances at these murals, the dynasty greeted the nobles sitting on the throne and on both sides, and said, "On the orders of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I would like to comfort the Great Xia and the Yue Clan's envoy dynasty to see you!" ”

Then, the interpreter next to him, a guide from the Western Regions who came to Daxia with the dynasty, spoke the words of the dynasty to the people of Daxia in the language of the Cypriots: "On the order of the great emperor of the Silk Kingdom, the envoys who came to Bactria and the Yue clan have met the king, the elders, and the Kushan ......."

As for this, the Bactrian people still need to go through their own translation and translate it again - no way, the language of the Cypriot people is also a bit like a foreign language to them.

However, the Yueshi did not need to translate anymore - they had learned many foreign languages, including the Cypriot language, but had forgotten their native language.

Nowadays, among the Yueshi people, the Cypriot language and the Daxia language are relatively common daily expressions.

Therefore, as soon as the Yueshi people on the left heard this, they immediately connected their ears, and everyone looked sideways at the dynasty and the knots in his hand.

An old man who was already dying of old age whispered a few words in the ear of Guishuang Xihouqiu.

After listening to this, Qiu Mimi nodded.

The Yueshi people used to be nomadic in the west of Zongzhou for a long time ago, and later almost migrated to Hexi for nomadism.

But during the Qin Dynasty, the Yueshi people had many dealings with the Qin people.

Later, the Yueshi were defeated at the hands of the Xiongnu and had to move westward, and in the process, the Yueshi people abandoned many of their own traditions.

But some things have been preserved.

For example, this old priest knew more or less about ancient secrets.

Obviously, the dynasty is in the same name as the old priest in his memory, both in appearance and in the way he speaks, including the knots in his hand.

Yes, Qiu Mimi immediately stood up with a smile and said to the dynasty: "Chinese envoy, I have worked hard all the way, I, the Yue's Guishuang and Qiu Mimi, on behalf of my king, express my gratitude to the envoy!" ”

At this time, the Yue clan has been torn apart.

However, the Yue Clan King was still preserved, because the division of each tribe could not destroy and defeat the other tribes, and they just lived their own lives.

Since the end of the Xiongnu's western expedition the year before last, the countries of Central Asia have fallen into a terrible predicament.

The Yueshi people, in particular, were almost terrified to the point of no return.

The terrifying combat effectiveness and ferocious combat methods of the Huns made all the Yueshi nobles tremble - in the war, two Yueshi Yihou were killed!

And the hatred with the Huns made the Yueshi people have to find a way out.

They were driven from Hexi to the Western Regions by the Huns, and from the Western Regions they were expelled to Central Asia.

The Yueshi knew that if they couldn't find a solution, then their only choice was to continue moving west.

However, few people are willing to continue their westward migration.

In this Central Asia, the Yueshi people have been settled for twenty or thirty years.

They are accustomed to the water, soil and scenery here, and most importantly, here, the Yueshi people have no enemies and competitors.

Whether it is Kangju or Great Xia, it cannot cause harm to the Yueshi.

Moreover, the people of this place, weak and cowardly, are the best targets for oppression and exploitation.

Leaving here, the people of the Yue clan dare not guarantee whether they can find a better home than here.

However, it was clear that the Huns were an invincible enemy.

This really made all the Yue clan's departments gray in hair.

At this moment, some Xiongnu prisoners of war captured in the war told the Yueshi people something.

Far away in the ancestral lands, China, once so powerful that all nations were subservient, has risen again.

This dynasty called Han, under the leadership of a god emperor, repeatedly defeated and annihilated the Xiongnu Wanqi.

The Huns were hurt and chose to march west.

This made all the Yue's people who knew about it cry and laugh.

Feelings, the Huns are not here to take revenge and hunt down, they are just beaten by a more powerful opponent, so they can only choose to come to the West to rob and replenish blood.

Since then, all the Yue clan's departments have continuously sent spies to the Western Regions under the guise of disguise or follow merchants to the Western Regions to find out more information.

As a result, more information, with the return of these spies, continued to be known.

The cruelty of the war in the East also lifted the veil of mystery.

The Huns in the east did suffer an extremely painful defeat.

The Zhelan tribe, known as the whip of Shan Yu, was completely annihilated, and the Right Xian King was killed in battle, and the loss of troops was as high as tens of thousands!

More recently, there have been even more faint rumors that the Xiongnu have suffered an even more painful defeat in the east, this time, the Huns seem to have lost an important pasture, and Shan Yu has already led his troops south.

This made the Yue's people not only frightened, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the Huns went south! It's good to go south!

But......

The Yueshi people knew very well that in this battle, no matter whether the Xiongnu won or lost, they would always turn back to the west.

When the Huns called, where should the Yueshi people go?

Therefore, as soon as Guishuang Houqiu Mimi heard that the king of Great Xia had come to the Chinese mission, he immediately left everything in his hand and rushed over day and night with his personal guards.

In order to get in touch with the Chinese envoys and learn more about the progress and intelligence of the war in the East.

…………………………

Wang Chao looked at the man who claimed to be Guishuang, looked the other party up and down, and then gave a conclusion in his heart: This person is the hero of the Biyue clan, and he has the image of a wolf and a tiger!

In the eyes of the dynasty, this Guishan was born relatively tall, with strong limbs, and what is even more rare is that his image is excellent.

Unlike the nomadic leaders of the other dynasties, his complexion, hands and feet were as white as a scholar, and even his hair was particularly neatly groomed, apparently cleaned every day.

That's amazing!

You must know that the dynasty used to be a monk, specializing in being a god stick to fool people.

He was naturally well-informed and had seen countless characters.

And this person is in the Yidi, and he is a nomadic Yidi tribe, but he is deliberately maintaining and valuing his image.

What is he going to do? Undoubtedly!

It must be a hero with ambition and ambition who wants to build a career!

However, this kind of person, in front of the dynasty, especially in front of the great empire behind the dynasty, is as small as an ant.

So the dynasty just bent down slightly and said, "The Han Dynasty has seen Xihou!" ”

Qiu Mimi looked at the appearance of the dynasty, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "It's really a big country!" ”

Traveling thousands of miles, not avoiding hardships and dangers, and coming to Great Xia, this in itself is already very rare.

This Han envoy was neither humble nor arrogant in front of himself and others, which was expected by Qiu Mimi.

But being able to travel thousands of miles to still maintain grace and pride is not something that ordinary people can have.

It is impossible for people who are not big and powerful countries to have this kind of self-confidence.

This is like a person who writes an article, a literati in a powerful country, who writes an article that is magnificent, has a huge pattern, and is magnificent, while a small country and a weak country can only feel sorry for themselves and write tragedies with the penmanship of a young man.

There are many, many such examples in history.

"I heard that your country is fighting with the Xiongnu, I wonder if the envoy can tell me about the outcome of this war?" Qiu Mimi couldn't help but ask at the moment.

His question immediately aroused everyone's interest, because this is also what they want to know!

When the dynasty heard this, he smiled slightly, bowed to Chang'an in the east, and said proudly: "Ji Congee led the beast to eat people, my lord Shengtian was born for the common people in the world, the king of the king, the righteous army, the cutting of no way, the first battle in Mayi, beheaded more than 10,000 people, the Huns Zhilan, Lou Fu, and Aries were all gone, and the right sage king Yin Zhi obliquely awarded the head!" ”

"The Ji Congee clan is stubborn and resists the mandate of heaven, and the Holy Son of Heaven raises his army again, and fights with him in Gaoque, and his army is gone! The big danghu, the big captain, the thirty-two chiefs were defeated, the Hun Zuo general was only spared, and the king was restored! ”

"Before the envoy came, I heard that the king of the king in Yan Ji defeated the Huns again, it is said that this time the Huns were single in the military ministers and commanded 150,000 horses, known as 400,000, attacking my Han realm! The Son of Heaven ordered the general of the Che Cavalry Dongchenghou, the governor of the Protectorate of Andong Bo Shi, and the lieutenant of the Yan State of Yuyang County to lead an army of 500,000 to hunt with the Yan Ji, and it has been a great victory, and it is said that the Huns ambushed tens of thousands of corpses inside and outside the Great Wall, and the military ministers died violently in the army! ”

Listening to the words and messages translated by the translator, both the Great Xia people and the Yue people were dumbfounded.

They can't even believe their ears.

The invincible world, known as the whip of Zeus, is hardly a human race against the Huns and the devil's army, so it failed so badly in the East?

Shan Yu is dead?

Is there any mistake?

Qiu Mimi even had some doubts about life!

"It can't be!" Behind Qiu Mimi, a nobleman screamed: "How can such a powerful Xiongnu army fail?" ”

He was almost about to rush up and give the dynasty a fat beating, but he was pulled back.

Even so, he roared: "The strength of the Hun cavalry, we have all seen it with our own eyes, how can it fail?" ”

Qiu Mimi glanced at this person, sighed lightly, and said, "If it were another country, I wouldn't believe it, but, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is China!" ”

"The prince and you may not know that my Yue clan was also subordinate to the Chinese Son of Heaven, and the Yue Clan King was once canonized by the Chinese Zhou Tianzi!"

"At the beginning, China's Qin, when it was strong, once made the Xiongnu, Donghu and our people tremble, and they didn't dare to bend their bows against each other!"

Listening to Qiu Mimi's words, the man was stunned.

Is there such a powerful country in this world?

How is this possible?

After listening to the translation's words, Wang Chao snorted, looked at the person, and said, "What's impossible?" My lord is the Holy Son of Heaven, the body is sacred, and ascends to the great treasure, so he has the constitution of heaven in his mouth, and his feet are yin and yang, benevolence and virtue, and birds and beasts, and the majesty is spread in Liuhe! You don't know what the barbarians do, and it's very sad! ”

When the dynasty said this, his nostrils were facing the sky.

That attitude is almost like saying -- I don't mean you! I mean, everyone in this room, in front of me, is scum!

And that's exactly what he thinks!

As for what you want to say, will such an attitude anger these Yidi Monarchs?

Definitely not!

On the way of the dynasty, he passed through the treacherous places of Hexi, climbed through the lofty mountains, walked through the desert oasis, and met countless large and small tribes and monarchs of kingdoms along the way.

These people all have one thing in common.

You have to be polite to him, treat him politely, and people may have their tails raised to the sky.

But you have to hold the shelf, with a look of the domineering president of a big country.

People basically immediately become Xiaoshou, in front of you, like a concubine.

This made the dynasty sigh with emotion.

Even in his travelogue on the road, he emphasized many times: Those who are husband and disgrace are afraid of power but not virtue!

In layman's terms, it is a small suffer, shaking M.

The more you pretend to be forced, the more people look up to you, and on the contrary, people may despise you and even have malicious intentions.

Nowadays, it is also ordinary, seeing the appearance of the dynasty, and then listening to the translated words.

Whether it's Chu Mimi or Okratides, they are all respectful.

In particular, Okratides II, because of the presence of Oktila, a Dawan in the Han mission, also knew a lot of facts about the Han Dynasty.

He knew that the Han envoy was not lying.

Everything he said was true!

That great country in the East is indeed strong and rich, civilized and great.

Okratides II immediately addressed the man: "Prince Kangju, this is my royal palace in Bactria, not the city of Khotan (the capital of Kangju) in your country!" ”
