In the city of Dunhuang, Wang Zhuo's caravan entered the city smoothly, especially after learning that they came from the Great Cadre who defeated the Huns, and was very in awe of them.

At this time, Dunhuang was not the future Buddhist holy place, and the people who lived here were the Da Yue clan.

Coming out of the Hexi Corridor, Dunhuang City made everyone feel a very different style from Daqian. A city here is a country.

The population of the entire city of Dunhuang did not exceed 30,000, just like those small states in the early days of the state and Zhou dynasties.

It's just that the environment of the small country that is separated from Bangzhou is better, and now the population of any county town in Daqian is larger than that of Dunhuang.

What is amazing about Dunhuang is that the yellow sand outside the city is thousands of miles, but the city is full of green trees. The entire city of Dunhuang was built in a large oasis.

This amazed the people who saw the desert for the first time.

Wang Zhuo filled in the map of the westward journey, and after seeing the passage like a corridor on the map, he said: "The land of Dunhuang is connected to the Hexi Corridor and guards the choke point!" ”

After three months of arduous trekking, the group passed through the Hexi Corridor and recorded the map of the Hexi Corridor in its entirety. They are well aware of the importance of this Hexi corridor.

The Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions carry special significance for Zijue. The camel bell fluttering in the wind seemed to ring in my ears again.

In the previous life, whether it was a strong man or a prosperous Tang Dynasty, the safety of the Western Regions was placed in the Hexi Corridor, and the Central Plains Imperial Court had always lost the Western Regions because the Hexi Corridor was blocked.

The territory of the Western Regions is a place that cannot be given up in the Central Plains, and not an inch of the territory of Anxi is superfluous. Broken Leaf City and Tangnu Wulianghai are the eternal pain in the hearts of the sons and daughters of China.

Li Bai never imagined that he would become a foreigner in the next life.

Now that Zhuxia is in the hands of his descendants, maybe Daqian will perish, but this territory of 10,000 miles must be complete. Before he Zijue came here, he couldn't control how the world was, but now that he is here, if the world is still developing like this, then he didn't come in vain?

Zi Jue's eyes fell on Wang Zhuo, in order to let him open up the Western Regions, Zi Jue had already given him a lot of blessings, and he spent 10,000 Qi Luck to buy the [Pioneer] template from the system store.

[Pioneer: Special template, in the development period of climate adaptation +20, language proficiency +20, danger perception +20, force value +20, military strategy +5, get hero luck.] Note: All blessings must be active when a new map is developed. 】

[Hero luck: Heaven and earth are all working together, and heroes are not free. When you're in the open, your luck improves, and even in a crisis, you can seize the opportunity to turn things around. When the development is over, the luck disappears. 】

Zijue was relieved to let Wang's son explore the Western Regions because of the pioneer template, which is like a weakened version of the protagonist template. Coupled with a team of 400 people, in the places where these small countries are lined up in the Western Regions, they are completely sideways.

Dunhuang, as the starting point of the Western Regions, has abundant water and grass, a large oasis, and civilization and technology from Central Asia, but because of the small country and widows, it has always been oppressed by the Huns.

The Western Regions were also an important place for the Xiongnu to obtain supplies, and these small countries in the Western Regions have always lived in the shadow of the Xiongnu.

It is also now that the Huns have been continuously defeated by Daqian, and their strength has weakened, and some small countries in the Western Regions have gotten rid of the control of the Huns.

The walls of Dunhuang are about five meters high, made of mud, timber and stone, and look gray, with large oases outside the city and undulating sand dunes further afield.

Not to mention that compared with Luoyang, even a county town in the Central Plains is more prosperous than here.

After months of trekking through mountains and rivers and traveling thousands of miles west, everyone finally came to a place where people gathered, which immediately made the whole team very excited.

After all, the average person can't stand it when they sleep in the open on the way. Yu Linwei is okay, after all, the discipline is strict, but the other people who are drawn from all over the country are not good.

After coming to Dunhuang, Wang Zhuoli gave everyone a task to collect all kinds of intelligence and make contact with the locals.

Wang Zhuo's trip to the Western Regions was to explore the Western Regions, collect intelligence on the Western Regions, draw a map of the Western Regions, and lay a front station for the Central Plains to enter the Western Regions. So everywhere we go, we collect the information here in detail.

Wang Zhuo obviously felt that the ancestor attached great importance to this Western Regions, and after he took over the task of opening up the Western Regions, he felt that he had received the blessing of the ancestor.

The common language in the Western Regions is Xiongnu, and each country also has its own language, after Wang Zhuo came here, he began to learn the local language, but in just two or three days, he can already communicate with the locals.

And the goods they brought from the Central Plains were also sought after by the locals.

It took Wang Zhuo half a month to collect almost all the information about Dunhuang, and replaced the horses in the convoy with camels.

Camels are more adapted to the environment than horses.

After figuring out the situation in Dunhuang, Wang Zhuo found that the area of Dunhuang was larger than he imagined, the rain in this era was far more abundant than in later generations, and the area of the desert was also small, just like the Mu Us Desert, which was still a grassland green land with abundant water and grass in this era, where hundreds of thousands of people lived.

The same is true of Dunhuang, where there are a large number of oases, so the locals also call it Shazhou, which means desert oasis.

Tens of thousands of people live around Dunhuang, and camels and horses are bred at the same time, and the horses here are extraordinary. Abundant in gemstones and jade.

The exquisite lacquerware and silk brought by Wang Zhuo are very popular here, and even the King of Dunhuang is very fond of them.

However, after the king of Dunhuang got rid of the enslavement of the Huns, he was already a little arrogant, and even asked Wang Zhuo to offer him the goods he brought.

Hearing this, Wang Zhuo was furious, and then under the pretext that there were treasures to be offered to the king of Dunhuang, he returned to the inn where he lived, and then gathered Yu Linwei and took the opportunity to launch a wave of charge.

How could the soldiers of the Dunhuang Kingdom be the opponents of Da Qianyulin? was easily beheaded, and the group broke through the palace of the king of Dunhuang. Then the king of Dunhuang was killed on the main hall, and these barbarians trembled.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos of Dunhuang and the seizure of the throne, he packed up all the Dunhuang materials, Kanyu maps, household registrations, taxes and books, and even swept away the treasures of Dunhuang by the way.

You robbed me of my things, and caused me great mental trauma, and those things should not be considered as mental damage.

Of course, after taking the things, he accidentally knocked over an oil lamp, and Dunhuang should not be so stingy.

It's just that everyone looked down on the big moon people, and they chased after them for this matter, but the main family didn't welcome them, so Wang Zhuo had to take people away and kill the pursuing big moon people.
