It will take some time for the caravan and escort team to be formed, and Lin Sen is of course very anxious, because five months have passed since the game started, and there has long been an announcement on the official website that there will be an update half a year after the game starts.

The updated game will take 24 solar terms, which is equivalent to the implementation of spring planting and autumn harvest of crops, and what is in reality is what it is in the game. In this way, it will be very difficult to obtain food, and in the days to come, food will also be the most important and difficult material to obtain, and it will also be the most contested material, and it will also determine the victory or defeat of the war!

I can't wait, I have to hurry to the Western Regions, and the caravan and escort have been formed. The caravan was 1,000 people, led by Wu Lun; The escort team was led by Tao Sheng and Wu Yong, with a total of 3,000 light cavalry, and worked overtime to create 2,000 blue weapons to equip the light cavalry.

At the same time, Wang Lei was informed to prepare a large amount of tea, silk, porcelain, and bronze, and transported them back to Qingquan City.

Lin Sen went to the county to exchange the gold, because after arriving in the Western Regions, the copper money will not be in circulation, and the gold as an international currency will of course have to be exchanged for some, 10 yuan to exchange for a pound of gold, he originally had 2,000 catties, but he was afraid that it would not be enough, and it was not wrong to bring more.

"Deputy City Lord Lu, I will be going to the Western Regions for several months, and in the meantime, you will continue to work hard to develop the construction of the town. General Chen Gang was in charge of the defense of the two cities, assisted by other generals. There are strong checkpoint defenses in our canyon, but we must not slack off, the outside is very chaotic now, and accidents will happen one day if we don't keep it right, especially Qingfeng City, we must always pay attention to it. ”

After everything was explained, Lin Sen took the caravan and a carriage full of materials to embark on the Silk Road, Wu Tong was also idle and bored, and when she heard Lin Sen say that she was going to the Western Regions, of course she couldn't settle down, and kept clamoring to go, Lin Sen had no choice, so he also took her with him.

After Luoyang and Chang'an, along the Wei River to Yu County (now Baoji), through Wei County (now Long County), over Liupan Mountain Guyuan and Haiyuan, along the Zuli River, in Jingyuan across the Yellow River to Guzang (now Wuwei). From Zhangye to Dunhuang, which is closest to the Western Regions, came through Jiuquan and Guazhou.

It is indeed not safe along the way, and there are often bandits and bandits who come out to rob. Lin Sen's escort team can be said to be the most elite force in his army, although there are only 3,000 people, but they are all cavalry, and they can be used as ten and ten as hundreds, and the role of these bandits and bandits is to improve the strength of the escort team, and they are all easily wiped out.

After a short rest, the caravan advanced towards Yangguan. The poet of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem: "Persuade the monarch to drink a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west; The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds. The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass. "This is the border.

Out of Yangguan is the real Silk Road. Walking all the way to the southwest, from Shanshan, to the north of the south mountain, to the west of the Po River, to Shache, and to the west of the Green Ridge into the Kushan Empire.

The game "Hero" has a very humane setting, that is, no matter what Tiannan or Haibei speaks, all the words are in Mandarin, which saves Lin Sen a lot of trouble.

The road was safe, and there were no warlike people along the way. Passing through the Hotan area, Lin Sen certainly couldn't let it go.

As everyone knows, Hotan is famous for its beautiful jade, and it would be foolish to let go of these high-value items, so Lin Sen went on a large scale to purchase jade blanks locally.

In the local area of Hotan, the output of jade blanks is already very large, and the price is also good. What Lin Sen didn't lack was gold, a large box with several wagons.

The things of the Central Plains are very easy to sell when they are brought to the Western Regions. Although the Han Dynasty has declined, the deterrent effect on the countries of the Western Regions is still there, not to mention that it has been many years since such a caravan came to the Western Regions, so the countries of the Western Regions did not dare to do things such as killing people and goods.

The road along the way was not very easy to walk, but fortunately, Wu Lun walked several times without detours, and after a month of hard work, the caravan entered the Kushan Empire!

This was established by the Dayue clan who were defeated by the Huns, and during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they wanted to contact this nation to jointly conquer the Huns, but they were unsuccessful, and by the time of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Kushan Empire also began to decline.

Even the Kushan Empire, which began to decline, was one of the four major empires of the Eurasian continent at that time, and the country was very prosperous and rich, and the territory was also very large. At the same time, it is also a bridge between Central Asia and South Asia, and there are many trade exchanges, becoming a transit point for trade in various places.

The caravan traveled through the cities of the Kushan Empire, from the mouth of the Ganges, the west coast of India, Sogdiana, to the trade markets of Bactria, Kabul, and other places.

Lin Sen saw the prosperity and wealth of the Kushan Empire. Huge quantities of silk, lacquerware, and tea were peddled and large quantities of gold were obtained.

The Kushan Empire believes in Buddhism very much, and most of them are Mahayana Buddhism, there are many believers, there are temples and stupas everywhere, especially in the capital and some big cities, the temples and Buddhas established are majestic and magnificent, which makes people look at it and have a sense of awe in their hearts.

The main thing that the caravans bought in the Kushan Empire was spices. During the rest days, Lin Sen also wandered around the bustling street market, and finally found the lapis lazuli he was looking for after many inquiries.

This kind of thing is very valuable in Europe and the Han Dynasty, and lapis lazuli was produced in large quantities in Afghanistan and India of the Kushan Empire. Lin Sen will naturally buy a large number of these things, and prepare to take some of them to Europe to sell, and some of them will be shipped back to the Han Dynasty for a high price, the price of lapis lazuli is very high, but of course the profits are also extremely high.

A lot of lapis lazuli and spices were purchased, plus the previous Hetian jade billet, which cost almost eighty percent of the gold that Lin Sen carried. After traveling in the Kushan Empire for about a month, the caravan continued westward into the Parthian Empire, which was also a powerful country.

The Parthian Empire was very chaotic and had been at war with the Great Qin Empire for many years. In particular, the border cities of the two countries have changed hands back and forth. The country is not stable, and power struggles between royal families also occur from time to time, but Lin Sen is just a businessman, he doesn't want to participate in the war, and he also wants to get to the last stop quickly, the prosperous Great Qin Empire.

In the Parthian Empire, some items were quickly sold in various cities, but the Parthian Empire was not as rich as the Kushan Empire, and he sold some materials in various cities for more than 20 days, and at the same time, in order to reduce some trouble, Lin Sen also visited some local nobles along the way, and gave away some gold and jewelry!

People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, and the money must be spent. Despite the chaos in the Empire, Lin Sen's caravans were safe.

Parthian pottery is very exquisite, especially a product called glazed pottery, so the Lin Sen caravan also bought a batch, this thing was not available in the Han Dynasty, maybe it can be sold at a high price, and the scarcity is expensive.

The caravan drove the carriage to the Great Qin Empire in a low-key manner, but who would have thought that he could not rely on the society, and when he was about to get out of the Parthian Empire, he encountered the attack of the Great Qin Empire, Lin Sen's head hurt, and he immediately sent several members of the escort team to protect Wang Lun with a few exquisite lacquerware and some gold jewelry, and sent an envoy to meet the army commander of the Great Qin Empire.

Wang Lun soon met the captain of the Great Qin Emperor.

"Your Excellency General, I am an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and this time I will send His Majesty the Emperor as an envoy to your country. However, it happened that your country attacked the Parthian Empire, and here are a few ornaments and a little gold for His Excellency, and I ask His Excellency the General to let our envoys pass. Wang Lun took out what he had already prepared and said.

When the army commander saw the gift, he was naturally very happy, and immediately agreed to let Lin Sen's caravan go.

After Wang Lun thanked him politely, he came back. The caravan marched all the way to the Great Qin Empire.

Soon the caravan entered the Great Qin Empire, but unexpectedly, a middle-class officer of the Great Qin Empire was greedy for money, and saw that Lin Sen's caravan had so many carriages, and they were full of goods, so he had the idea of robbing.

Of course, Lin Sen didn't know about these things, and thought that he could safely enter the Great Qin Empire. Fortunately, Lin Sen has always been cautious, sending several members of the escort team to act as sentinels, and one of the sentinels noticed the movement and came back to report it to Lin Sen.

"My lord, I have found something." The sentry hurried into the tent and told Lin Sen.

Lin Sen hurriedly got up and asked, "What's the situation?" Say it! ”

"Back to the lord, I found a large group of soldiers in the southeast and slowly walking towards our station, and it was too dark to see how many people there were."

"Go and wake everyone up at once, and prepare for war immediately." Lin Sen was stunned and immediately began to prepare.

After a while, everyone in the caravan got up. Lin Sen said: "The members of the caravan immediately drove the carriage to the west, and first chose a hidden place to hide. The brothers of the convoy set up an ambush with me and watched the situation. ”

After explaining the task, Lin Sen led the escort team to leave the camp and hide nearby.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a shout of killing. Lin Sen thought to himself: These people are a little too self-conscious, what kind of broken things are you people equipped with, weapons and equipment are made of copper, and you dare to rob me, and we will see how the master kills you in a while.

The Great Qin soldiers rushed to Lin Sen's station and found that there was no one.

"Sir, these people should hear our voices and leave, should we chase after us?" A small soldier asked.

"The fire is still on, presumably they haven't gone far, let's chase after it, and if we catch up, we'll get rich!"

Lin Sen listened to their conversation and sneered in his heart. Seeing that they were just about to pursue, Lin Sen immediately ordered the escort team to attack.

The soldiers were extremely brave and had an absolute advantage in equipment, Tao Sheng and Wu Yong took the lead and quickly entered the Great Qin camp, and Lin Sen also followed closely with spears in hand.

After several battles, Wu Yong's force value has reached 55 points, while Tao Sheng is even more brave, with a force value of 75 points at the beginning, and he has the blue equipment of the whole body to rely on, slashing and killing left in the Great Qin camp, and the Great Qin soldiers can't resist at all.

The convoy galloped left and right in the Great Qin camp, slaughtering wantonly, and soon the Great Qin army began to disperse.

"Sir, this big man's envoy is too powerful, we are not opponents at all, let's run away quickly." Great Qin's soldiers were all shouting.

But how could they have thought that the commander saw that his side was not an opponent at all, and he was already preparing to flee quietly.

Seeing that there was no answer, his soldiers continued to resist. This is exactly what Lin Sen is thinking, he must completely annihilate this army of soldiers and horses, otherwise he may be annoyed.

In a short time, the escort team slaughtered the Great Qin soldiers. Lin Sen hadn't seen that Great Qin Chief, so he immediately ordered everyone in the escort team to look for it.

The escorts rummaged through all the bodies and did not find them, and Lin Sen was anxious.

"If he gets away, we're going to be annoyed. Fast! Everyone spread out, and be sure to find this person. ”

Everyone immediately rode and scattered in twos and threes to look for it. The emperor lives up to his wishes! Lin Sen's luck was really good, Lin Sen and a few of his subordinates chased a long way, and finally caught up. Lin Sen hurriedly hit the war horse a few times, holding a big knife, and cut down the Great Qin chief under the horse with one knife, Lin Sen was afraid that he would not be hacked to death, so he dismounted and cut off the head of the man, tied the body to the horse and returned to the camp.

It took a long time for the convoy to all return. Lin Sen ordered the corpses of all the Great Qin soldiers to be gathered together and burned. It smokes black and smells pungent.

After finding the location of the caravan, he did not rest, and continued to move west overnight, preparing to find a nearby city to settle in, so that it could be safer! ……
