When Liu Ponu came to Yumen Pass, the little mule had been waiting here for a long time.

Compared to the northern route, the southern route is a bit easier to follow, and although it is close to the plateau, the terrain is flat.

Most of the countries in the southern part of the Western Regions are located on the plains at the foot of the mountains, and the plateau is a natural barrier for them, and in this terrain, it is difficult for a larger tribe to survive there.

Coupled with its own weakness and lack of war potential, this has led to countless small-scale conflicts in the southern part of the Western Regions, but there has never been a fighting scene between countries like in the Han Dynasty.

"Brother Nu, I really saw ...... this trip" After meeting, the little mule proclaimed his insights on this trip with emotion on his face.

"What did you see?" Liu Ponu smiled, he probably knew what the little mule had done in the south, a little reckless, but there was no big problem.

When this goods first went, they were very cautious, and the 20,000 army directly surrounded a small city with only a few thousand people, and when they found that the other party's strength was like this, the whole person instantly felt bad.

It was easy to take, so it continued cautiously, but one small town after another was almost the same situation.

finally met a slightly larger city, but when he saw the Han army, the other party couldn't even raise the courage to fight, and he directly raised his hand and surrendered from a long distance.

Then the little mule began to grow in courage, and he divided the whole army into four parts, each with 5,000 men, and began to attack everywhere in all directions.

For each city captured, 500 troops were left to guard the periphery, while the rest of the troops marched with the city's envoys.

It is not so much that the little mule is exploring the southern part of the Western Regions, but that he is just returning to China through the southern part of the Western Regions, but on the way back to China, he easily subdued the entire southern part of the Western Regions.

Or it can't be described as a uniform at all, because the army of 20,000 men almost did everything without firing a shot.

Therefore, it is not only the little mules waiting at Yumen Pass, but also the envoys of those small countries in the southern part of the Western Regions.

"As far as their combat effectiveness and will to fight here, it's not that I brag about the little mule, if this is placed in the big man, even the men in our village can gather together and destroy their country at will!" The little mule looked unceremoniously disdainful.

"How can it be so unbearable as you say?" Liu Ponu was speechless for a while, this description really made him speechless.

"Really, Brother Nu, don't believe it......" Hearing that Liu Ponu didn't believe it, the little mule instantly became anxious, and immediately said: "Although I didn't fire a shot this time, I have seen the scene of their war, you may not believe it, they are not so much fighting as quarreling......"

"At the beginning of this, the two sides were arrayed together, abusing each other for a while, but neither of them would take the initiative to attack, and what made me feel even more incredible was that they were able to scold from morning to night, and then directly collect their troops and return to the camp, and they could continue the next day."

"Later, I really asked someone, saying that they are basically like this here, they can solve it with their mouths, and try not to do it, after all, it is a ...... to die."

"Once this person is dead, there will be no one to farm, and the strength of those nobles will be weakened, so everyone will not allow this to happen."

Liu Ponu: ......

His combat effectiveness in the southern part of the Western Regions was very weak, but he didn't expect it to be like this bear.

Of course, it's not incomprehensible.

The smaller ones in a country add up to only a thousand people, and the number of troops is not even more than 100, how many more people will die in a war?

Of course, they can't accept this loss, but disputes between neighbors are inevitable after all, so it is normal to form a unique war system here.

The problem of the Western Regions is not a problem that can be solved in a while, and this problem not only exists in the Western Regions, but also exists within the Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of interests, although China has entered the feudal era, but strictly speaking, it is now an era of coexistence of feudalism and slavery.

And for the next millennium, these two systems will continue to exist in parallel.

Later, although nominally it no longer existed, in essence it was just a different way, and it was not until after the establishment of New China that the feudal and slave system were completely abolished.

As for the self-ridiculatory dissatisfaction of some people in later generations, Liu Ponu can only laugh.

Whether it's a social animal or a worker, no matter how much the factory exploits you, it is only value exploitation, and the final choice is in your hands, and you can change places if you don't want to do it.

In ancient times, whether you wanted to or not, you had to be exploited by them layer by layer, and there was no choice at all, and it was even more impossible to change places.

In the Tang Dynasty, what was the price a master had to pay for killing a slave?

It's just a fine of 100 yuan to the government, and now, you don't even have to pay a fine.

"Do you have an eye on the workshop?" Liu Ponu decided to put the matter on hold for the time being, and instead asked about the workshop.

"This is a bit difficult...... talking about the workshop, the little mule is a little difficult.

I thought that with the deepening of exploration, more and more minerals would be discovered, but it turned out that after I came, I found out that this place was really poor.

"The results of this exploration are similar to the results of the previous investigation of Lao Han, there is a carboniferous mine about 200 kilometers northwest of Pu Hami, the quality is very good, and the scale is very large, it is very easy to mine, the coal used by our new army is dug there, according to the comparison with the domestic carboniferous mine, at least on the surface, the scale of this mine should be the largest carboniferous mine we have found so far."

"And according to the reaction of the troops, the current coal seems to be more vigorous than before, and it is more resistant to burning, I asked people to transport some back to make iron to try the effect, but no other minerals were found around here......"

"At present, the only place suitable for setting up a workshop is about four or five hundred miles north of the Cheshi Country...... the little mule immediately spread out the map, skillfully pointed out a point on it, and continued:

"There is a carboniferous mine about two hundred miles southwest of this location, and there are several carboniferous mines not far away, and less than two hundred miles north is an iron mine, I asked people to see it, and the scale there is also very large, this Western Regions is not good at this, either you can't find it, or it's a super large."

"The workshop is placed here, equipped with hundreds of trucks, which is basically enough, but the problem is that this is the territory of the Huns, if the workshop is set up here, the surrounding garrisons must not be less, otherwise once the Huns successfully attack once, the losses behind will be immeasurable......"

"In addition, there is a big problem, this is too close to the north, according to the description of the surrounding herders, the winter here comes relatively early and lasts for a long time, if the workshop is set up here, it means that we can only work for about half a year, if we want to keep the ironworks not working, then we must increase the scale of mining, ensure that we stock up enough raw materials to be used in the winter......
