Chapter 356: Broken Leaves (2)

Broken Leaf City is located in the northeast of Dawan Kingdom, south of Wusun Kingdom, west of the Ili River Valley, and thousands of miles away from Tingzhou.

Although the distance is far away, the geographical location here is extremely important, and when he learned that his father was going to divide the fourth and fifth brothers into northern Xinjiang, Wang Xiang planned to let the fourth or fifth brother go to Broken Leaf City to establish a country.

Shattered Leaf City has a mild climate and abundant water for farming. To the south is Shule, and if you can occupy Broken Leaf City, you can use it as a horn with Shule.

Even if the Great Wan Kingdom regained its strength, it did not dare to make the slightest move in the face of the suppression of the broken leaves of the Shule River. Daqian can completely rely on the two states of Shaye and Shule, so that Dawan can honestly obey orders.

Of course, although Shaye and Shule are very close, they are blocked by the Tianshan Mountains and the Green Mountains-Alai Mountains.

Just by looking at the names of these two mountain ranges, you can see how complex the terrain is and how difficult it is to communicate between the two places.

If you want to connect Shule and Broken Leaves, you have to make a lot of effort to carve a way through this mountain range.

Because of the relatively mild climate and abundant water in the land of Shattered Leaf City, the surrounding miscellaneous hues have gathered here, and these people believe in different gods and have conflicts with each other.

This has also caused a complicated political environment in Shattered Leaf City.

Of course, if it weren't for the complicated political environment, Wang Xiang would not have thought of crossing the mountains and driving thousands of miles to smash Yecheng's idea.

In the past few years, both Wang Xiang and Wang Fu have sent caravans to Shule to find out the situation of broken leaves.

Atami, also known as Lake Ixai in Kyrgyzstan, a plateau lake known as the pearl of God's relics in later generations, is located in the Tien Shan Mountains, and it is also the deepest plateau lake in the world.

The water in the lake is eighteen times that of Qinghai Lake, and Broken Leaf Castle is not far from here, and around Atami, there are many nomadic tribes living and building castles here.

Of course, it is said that it is a city building, but in fact, the cities built by these miscellaneous hus are not called cities at all in the eyes of the dry people, including the city of broken leaves, the walls of these cities are less than five meters high, and many are even only three meters.

Most of the cities are made of stone and mud, which is not very strong, and in addition to some mud and stone houses, there are many tents.

In real history, the Central Plains court first controlled this place in the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty did not set up an administrative organ here, but was in a state of bondage. Even seriously, the Protectorate of the Western Regions is not very familiar with this place.

It was the Tang Dynasty that really controlled this place, and after the Tang Dynasty took control of the Western Regions, it set up the Beiting Protectorate and the Rest Protectorate in the Western Regions. The two prefectures are divided by the Tianshan Mountains, the south of the Tianshan Mountains belongs to the Anxibu Prefecture, and the north of the Tianshan Mountains belongs to the Beiting Prefecture.

In that year, the Tang Dynasty set up four towns in the Resting Capital, and the Broken Leaf City was one of them, and during the Tang Gaozong period, the Broken Leaf City was built. It's a pity that later, because the Tang Dynasty weakened and was unable to control Broken Leaf, Broken Leaf City was ceded.

I thought that I would wait for the strength to recover before recovering it, but as a result, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and a large number of Western Regions troops were transferred back. Shattered Leaf City has not returned to the Central Plains for hundreds of years since then.

So much so that in later generations, the city was no longer a Chinese city.

Wang Xiang and Wang Fu soon realized the importance of Broken Leaf City, so they constantly sent caravans and spies to spy on information.

At the same time, he is also secretly preparing for the collection of Broken Leaf City.

The Hu people in the Western Regions are different from the Xiongnu Hu people, the Huns live in a bitter cold land, with a strong will and a strong body, but what do these Hu people in the Western Regions say? They actually prefer pleasure.

Otherwise, the singing and dancing and various musical instruments here in the Western Regions would not be so developed. Let's not talk about whether the lives of the people of the Western Regions are good or not, the lives of the various royal families are more and more comfortable.

Moreover, the Western Regions is one of the few places in the world where there is no shortage of sweets.

Of course, if Wang Jing is willing, he can eat sweets every day at any cost, after all, Daqian has a vast area, if he is really poor and luxurious, if he enjoys it, there is no shortage of sweets.

It's just that the Wang family advocates frugality, never extravagance and waste, and will not work for the sake of food.

But this place in the Western Regions is different, there are simply too many sweets and fruits here, and even preserved fruits can be enjoyed all year round.

Thanks to the unique natural conditions here, the temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions is large, and the sweetness of fruits far exceeds that of the Central Plains, which also allows those royal families in the Western Regions to realize the freedom of sweets in this era.

Also because of the prosperity of the trade route, all kinds of goods passed through the Western Regions, so it can be said that the silk of the Central Plains, the gems and spices of the West, can be enjoyed here.

Therefore, the Hu people here prefer to enjoy.

This is also why the Huns' weapons and equipment are not as good as the Hu people in the Western Regions, but the people in the Western Regions have been suppressed and exploited by the Huns.

Those expeditionary warriors who came here from the Central Plains, as well as the Great Qianjing Cavalry, originally thought that they were going to suffer when they were sent to the Western Regions, but after coming here, they found that things were completely different from what they imagined.

The strength of the Hu people here in the Western Regions is far inferior to that of the Great Qian, and the Great Qian's soldiers can be said to be easily victorious. Even in the battle here, it is more difficult to rush than to fight.

When these people came to the Western Regions, they thought that the Western Regions were a bitter cold place, and even thought that they would not be able to adapt to the environment and die here, but when they came here, they found that they fell into a honey pot.

The Western Regions are rich, with herds of cattle and sheep, countless fruits, and several princes are also very generous, resulting in these soldiers being able to eat beef and mutton almost every day.

You must know that even when they were stationed in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, these soldiers ate mutton every three days at most, don't think about beef, the cattle are precious, and they are not allowed to kill cattle.

As for the wine, there are all kinds of wines in the Western Regions, and the sweet wine can be said to be the favorite of the great cadres who come here.

And this place has also been suppressed by the Xiongnu, many years of war, more women than men, Hu Ji style and open, plus the Great Qian defeated the Xiongnu, and in the Western Regions famous, many Hu Ji envy the Qian, every day around the military camp to throw flattery, twist the waist temptation countless.

Many people even gave them money to beg for a spring supper, just to cross the seeds, with the most yellow-headed and green-eyed orchids, and they all hoped that the next generation of their families would be black-haired and black-eyed.

After coming here, the life of these dry people is simply heaven. Coupled with the reward, almost all of these elite riders and expedition athletes have already started a family.

There are even people who have married more than one wife.

Seriously speaking, whether it is a great cadre or an expeditionary athlete, the life in the Western Regions can be regarded as an upper-middle level, and it is much more nourishing than in the Central Plains.
