Chapter 39: Song of the Western Regions
Western regions.
As the name suggests, the territory in the west of Zhuxia is the Western Regions.
This is the name set by King Su.
What is on the Western Regions, King Su didn't say, he had to see it himself, so Luo Zhongkan came.
"Hexi Corridor!"
After more than a year of trekking, the group walked to the border of Dunhuang in later generations, Luo Zhongkan turned his head to look at the east, of course, the name of the Hexi Corridor was directly said by Ji Zhao, and he didn't want this name to change.
Western Regions, Hexi Corridor, Anxi, for Ji Zhao, these words carry a special meaning, just like the song "Dream of the Hexi Corridor", even now, he seems to still feel the wind blowing from there, blowing from Anxi, blowing all the way to Chang'an, blowing to Luoyang.
In the previous life, some people on the Internet ridiculed Datang, Anxi Wanlijiang, and the border defense was in Fengxiang.
But this is an eternal pain for Ji Zhao, Anxi is thousands of miles away, it should be thousands of miles.
The internal disturbances, intrigues, and shame within Zhuxia, Ji Zhao is not interested in the slightest, but whether it is Anxi, which is thousands of miles away, or the vast sea frontier, rivers, mountains, rivers and forests, this is what he loves.
"From here, you will completely enter the Western Regions, it's time to sing your praises to King Su, the glory of King Su will fall on this land, every inch of darkness will be opened up by us, and every inch of land will be measured by us."
Luo Zhongkan knelt on one knee to the east towards the east, and everyone followed and knelt on one knee, all bowing their heads and hands, and the grand hymn resounded at the junction of the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions.
"King Su's light shines in all directions, dispelling the ghosts and ghosts of the Western Regions."
There was a solemnity on everyone's faces.
"The gods of King Su are in the sky, and the glory of Zhuxia is eternal!"
Luo Zhongkan stood up, faced everyone, held up the map given by Ji Zhao, and said loudly: "King Su is with us. ”
Everyone's expressions were suddenly excited, and they said in unison: "King Su is with us. ”
The sound shook the four fields, on the vast land, with the wind I don't know how far it went, Luo Zhongkan turned around and carved on the boulder, the time when his group came here, and some words of praise.
"Sons, let's go, let's enter the Western Regions."
After doing all this, Luo Zhongkan turned over and rode on a horse, in addition to the horse, there were also a large number of camels in the team, of course, when they arrived in the Western Regions, they had to follow the customs, there was no melodious camel bell, how could it be regarded as coming to the Western Regions?
[Dear master, your descendants have set foot on the magnificent Western Regions, the map begins to record, every time your children and grandchildren copy a place, the map will be enriched, and all the actions of your children and grandchildren in the Western Regions will be recorded as the final settlement. 】
[Melodious song of the Western Regions, what a magnificent poem will burst out in this world?
Song of the Western Regions in progress]
Ji Zhao was a little curious, the last time this kind of continuous task appeared, I can't remember when it was, and the description of this task is very vague.
Very artistic!
Song of the Western Regions, magnificent poems, look at these adjectives, and at a glance you will know that the conditions for completing the task are very special, and it is not a simple conquest by force.
In the world in which Ji Zhao lives, the Western Regions are indeed very magnificent.
Especially in the Tang Dynasty, at that time it was called Anxi, which was a Buddhist country of thousands of miles, and there was also the culture of big food, as well as the local culture, the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
Tens of millions of people gathered here along the Silk Road, all over the world, which was simply brilliant to the extreme, leaving too many landscapes for future generations to enjoy and remember.
Ji Zhao used to work in the northwest, and the endless Buddhist caves are really majestic to the extreme, and the artistic value of them, even Ji Zhao, who doesn't know much, can feel the weight of the history contained in them.
"And what about here?"
Ji Zhao silently cast his gaze on the Hexi Corridor and the vast Western Regions, "In this world, will there still be such cultural prosperity in the Western Regions?"
Can it still be a jewel of the World Island?
O the center of the Silk Road! ”
The moment Luo Zhongkan's footsteps stepped into the Western Regions, the map of the Western Regions in the system became a little more real, "Go, go, measure every inch of land in the Western Regions, this is the land that Zhuxia cannot afford to lose." ”
Ji Zhao closed his eyes slightly and fell backwards, and in an instant countless petals overwhelmed him.
At the moment of chanting, Luo Zhongkan felt a divine gaze looking at him, although it was just a feeling, but his eyes were full of love, he was warm, Luo Zhongkan immediately knew that King Su was paying attention to him.
King Su really cares about the Western Regions very much, Luo Zhongkan only feels his blood surging, and he can't wait to go to the Western Regions immediately to make contributions and complete King Su's great cause.
Although there were only three hundred people in the group, there was a mighty momentum.
Everyone walked on the vast Gobi, looking up and down in all directions, there was only a whistling wind, only sand and gravel all over the ground, and the howling of wild wolves at night.
The dare warrior set up a bonfire and couldn't help asking: "Childe, the land of the Western Regions is indeed vast, but a large area is the Gobi, and there is no grass, will anyone really survive here?" ”
Luo Zhongkan said in a deep voice: "It is very normal for a large area of the Gobi, King Su said that this place is not suitable for farming, but except for grain, you can get everything here, there is a river here, there will be people if there is a river, but it has not yet arrived." ”
Luo Zhongkan held the map in his hand, he probably knew the topography of this land, a mountain range that spanned the entire Western Regions, the root of everything in the Western Regions, the Tianshan Mountains!
It divided the Western Regions into two parts, the north and the south, and now they are taking the Southern Regions line.
What he didn't know was that the natural environment in the southern region was far less suitable for survival than in the northern region, and there were few desert Gobi deserts in the north, and the climate was also humid, especially in the later Wusun country, where land could even be farmed.
The Southern Regions are much worse, and they are the Western Regions in many people's impressions, with large areas of desert and Gobi, and the temperature is instantly much lower when the wind blows at night.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the water in the Western Regions is still very high, and from the fantasy background, we know that this is not a completely realistic world, and the production team has fine-tuned the parameters here in order to strengthen the game conflict, focusing on reflecting the magnificent culture of the Western Regions, so there are more and bigger oases here.
Luo Zhongkan and the others trekked hard in the no-man's land, fortunately with the guidance of the locals, otherwise even if there was a map to guide them, if they wanted to reach the final location, they would have to pay the price of blood.
Since ancient times, there have been no immortals, and Ji Zhao's opening has already reduced the difficulty, but this will still be a sad song, and the blood of Zhongyuan Erlang will be sprinkled on this land.
The local guide said with a flattering smile: "Venerable lord, after crossing these sand dunes, you can see the river in front, and if you follow the river, you will be Loulan Country, which is a very big country." ”
Luo Zhongkan exhaled slightly, even if he stood here, he could already smell the moisture brought by the moisture, and the dryness of the past few days made him feel like he had become human jerky.
As for the very big country in the guide's words, he directly ignored it, and it was impossible to think about it, there was no land to grow here, and it was impossible to support too many people.
At most, it is a country of 10,000 or 20,000 people, just like those small countries in the early Bang Zhou, I am afraid it is a city-state state.
In what is now the Central Plains, it is just a county, or a small Chehou state.
"Loulan Kingdom."
Luo Zhongkan laughed loudly: "Sons, I came to the first country I met in the Western Regions, go and see how it compares to our Central Plains?" ”
The group was instantly full of strength and rode their camels forward.
Luoling's blow to the Xiongnu changed many things, such as the fate of the Western Regions, after the rise of the Xiongnu, in addition to attacking the Han Dynasty, they were also attacking the Western Regions.
Maudun's wish is to bring all the people of the world under his command.
Moreover, the Xiongnu obtained technology from two sources, one was from the Central Plains, and the other was distant Central Asia, if they wanted to obtain technology and weapons from Central Asia, then they had to control the Western Regions.
Therefore, the Xiongnu have been plotting to seize the Western Regions, according to the normal time period, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains should have been ruled by the Xiongnu a long time ago, and in terms of ruling the Western Regions, the Xiongnu have an advantage.
But a snowstorm caused the Xiongnu to suffer too heavy losses, and now they have recovered a little bit of vitality, not to mention the south of the Tianshan Mountains, even the countries that have been conquered north of the Tianshan Mountains have gotten rid of the control of the Xiongnu and are still re-subduing.
In this case, the arrival of Luo Zhongkan and others had too great an impact on the Western Regions, and the group rushed to the capital of Loulan before dark, and the guide said a very awkward name, but Luo Zhongkan called it Loulan City.
Anyway, no matter what it used to be called, when the Central Plains arrives here, it will be renamed here, and Luo Zhongkan thinks that the name Loulan is very good.
Since entering the Western Regions, Luo Zhongkan and the others have changed into local clothes, and they have begun to grow the beard of the locals, coupled with the costume, it is basically impossible to see that it is from the original place, and in this place of the Western Regions, their appearance is different, and then they dress up as merchants, no one cares at all.
Even if he is recognized, Luo Zhongkan is not afraid, the population of Loulan City does not exceed 15,000, and the maximum number of troops is 3,000, and the armor he brought is full of 156, do you understand the gold content of a hundred daring soldiers.
A hundred daring warriors in full armor can even directly raise this so-called Western Regions power in a head-to-head battle.
And Luo Zhongkan is still hanging, if he can't do it, he will call his eldest brother, Luo Zhongkan's confidence is very sufficient.
