"This sand sponge stretches endlessly, and the horses are not good at walking, so we should arrive at Loulan as soon as possible, in exchange for a camel that walks on the sand sea like walking on the flat ground!" Tangyi's father pointed to the depths of the desert, "Go west for 1,600 miles, cross Bailongtan and Yanze, and you can reach Loulan Kingdom, which is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, with more than 14,000 mouths, and business travelers gather, prosperous and abnormal!" It's just that the king of Loulan surrendered to the Huns, I don't know if he will plot against us! ”

Loulan is also a more death-loving model among the countries of the Western Regions, first surrendered to the Xiongnu, attacked and killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, plundered the merchants, provoked the anger of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and sent troops to crusade, captured the king of Loulan, and forced him to attach to the Han. However, Loulan listened to the Xiongnu's counter-strategy, repeatedly stopped and killed the officials of the Han Dynasty, and was sent by the general Huo Guang Fu Jiezi to lead several warriors to Loulan, killed the king of Loulan, and the younger brother of the king of Loulan was the king, and changed the name of the country to Shanshan, moved the capital to the south, and changed the name of the country to Shanshan, so as to settle down.

Now that the Han Dynasty has not reached the Western Regions, I am afraid that the current King of Loulan will be even more unscrupulous! However, Li You didn't want to weaken his morale, and immediately said, "We have even broken through the territory of King Xiu Tu and King Kunxie!" Why should they be afraid of the Dingkou and the territory of Loulan, which is far inferior to theirs? Can Loulan's soldiers still be stronger than the elite of the Huns' royal court? ”

Seeing that everyone in his entourage nodded again and again, Li You then asked, "What are the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions?" What small countries will I pass through when I go to Otsutsuki? ”

"The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are an approximate number, and the attacks between the countries are continuous, and there are many things about destroying and restoring the country! Like Loulan, it was the country that occupied the hometown of the Dayue clan! But the destruction of such a small country is also in a moment, maybe the next time we come to the Western Regions, we will change the name of another country! "Today's Western Regions is not stable, although they are all threatened or controlled by the Xiongnu, but they have not formed a stable pattern, Tangyi's father said slowly, "Among the thirty-six countries, the stronger ones are Wusun, Kangju, Zhengbin, Dayueshi, Anxi, Qiuzi and other countries, with more than 100,000 mouths and many soldiers and horses!" The rest of the small countries have mouths ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. ”

"We will continue to travel west after Loulan, and we will reach the Yanqi country, which is connected to Wusun in the north and Qiuzi in the west, with more than 30,000 mouths and 6,000 soldiers and horses! Its country is close to the water and full of fish! Hundreds of miles to the west of Yanqi is the country of Qiuci, which has more than 80,000 mouths and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is a large country in the Western Regions! The Qiuzi people are good at casting and smelting, and the benefits of armor are famous in the Western Regions! Father Tang Yi continued to explain that the exaggerated military configuration of these countries caused everyone to continue to speak.

However, in Li You's view, the military strength of these small countries is very watery, what kind of army can be trained by the military-civilian ratio of five to one and four to one? This is almost all the young and strong people in their country! Only in a chaotic place like the Western Regions can there be such a strange result, because of the perennial war, they may have some combat experience, but they must not be compared with these elites under him.

"Qiuzi goes west to more than 600 miles is the country of Gumo, there are more than 20,000 mouths, more than 4,000 soldiers, producing copper and iron, orpiment, Qiuci people are good at singing and dancing; More than two hundred miles to the west of Gumo is the Wensu country, with 8,000 mouths and more than 1,500 soldiers! Hundreds of miles further west is the country of Shule, the country has nearly 20,000 mouths, 2,000 soldiers, is the only way to the Dayueshi, Dawan, Kangju Road! ”

"The west of Shule is a country of drug donation, and the people of this country live in pursuit of water and grass, and are good at bows and arrows, with more than 1,000 mouths and more than 500 soldiers! Further to the west, the country of Dawan belongs, the country of Dawan has 300,000 mouths, 60,000 victorious soldiers, and it is a powerful country in the Western Regions! Its domestic sweat and blood BMW, Pu Tao, with Pu Tao as wine, the rich hide wine to more than 10,000 stones, and the long ones are undefeated at the age of decades. ”

After talking for a long time, a decent country finally came, isn't Dawan the country that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guangli to conquer twice in order to obtain sweat and blood? The introduction of the sweat horse greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry, but it is a pity that although the sweat horse is fast, it is slender, relatively speaking, the weight capacity is not strong, and finally it was gradually eliminated by the Central Plains.

"To the west of the Dawan country is the Kangju country, Kangju has 600,000 mouths, 120,000 victorious soldiers, although they nominally submit to the Xiongnu, but due to the long distance, the Xiongnu have limited influence on it!" Just after sighing, there is an even more powerful one, Kangju State, which has 600,000 people, can also be called a prince in the Han Dynasty!

"Good girl, it's hard to be a deputy with so many strange names!" Pan Feng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but pat his head and ask, "What country was this Kangju country in the past?" How far is it from Otsutsuki? ”

"General Pan, the Dayue clan lives on the banks of the Yile River (a noun in the Han book, probably on the banks of the current Ili River), and has borders with the Dawan, Kangju, and Wusun countries; There are 400,000 mouths and 100,000 victories. Father Tangyi smiled and replied, "It's just that these things were more than ten years ago, the Western Regions have always been turbulent, and now where the Dayue clan is, we still need to go to Loulan Country to inquire!" ”

Hey? This doesn't seem to be the same as the record I read in the history books? Li You vaguely remembered that in the road map of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions that he had read, the Dayue clan was not located near the Yileshui (Ili River), but established a royal court on the west bank of the Fushui (Amu Darya), what was going on? Could it be that the cousin's father remembered it wrongly?

Li You fell into thought, the Ili River and the Amu Darya River are thousands of miles apart, can the Da Yue clan still run so fast? Oh yes! After thinking about it for a while, Li You will understand!

In history, the Dayue clan was first driven to the Ili River valley by the Xiongnu's old Shangdan Yu from the Hexi Corridor, and then was defeated by Kunkunmi (the name of the Wusun people for the king) of the Wusun Kingdom in the north before fleeing to the Amu Darya! And this incident obviously did not happen when Tangyi's father left the Xiongnu, so he thought that the Dayue clan was still in the area of Yireshui.

In the original history, Zhang Qian was captured by the Huns as soon as he walked to the Hexi Corridor, and it was not until ten years later that he was able to escape and continue westward; In this chaotic area of the Western Regions, more than 20 years is enough time for a lot of things to happen, and it is obvious that the Da Yue clan was driven from the Ili River to the Amu Darya River in the more than 20 years between Tangyi's father leaving the Xiongnu and Zhang Qian fleeing from the Xiongnu and arriving in the Western Regions!

But what happened in that year when the Wusun Kingdom Kunmi defeated the Otsuki Clan? Li You desperately searched for his memories, but unfortunately found nothing! The only way to pray is that the Otsuki clan has not been driven out of the Ili River by the Wusun Kingdom at this time! Otherwise, your future journey will be even longer!

"Now that there are no Hun pursuers, plus we have to replace the camels, we don't have to spare horsepower anymore! Let's get up to speed! Thinking that the Great Moon Clan might be in danger now, Li You couldn't help but be a little impatient!
