Chapter 70: The White Huns

When the soldiers and horses guarding Xiao Pass saw that it was a messenger who went to the Western Regions to deliver the edict of the Son of Heaven, they immediately did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly straightened out the order and made way out.

"What's the matter? those two monks?" the envoy curiously watched as the two monks with slightly curly hair were taken down, knelt on the side, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"These two monks actually dared to disobey the edict of the Son of Heaven. Messenger, please see ......"

As he spoke, the guard soldier took out a walking stick, which was actually hollow and densely filled with silkworms.

"Sure enough, what are you doing with such thieves?" the messenger exclaimed.

However, it turned out that there was a ban on Middle-earth, and silk and other things were all blockbuster products of Middle-earth, which were exported to Daqin in the extreme west.

Therefore, there has always been a rule that things like silkworms and silkworms should never be transported out of Middle-earth.

Even after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, an edict was issued, which can be said to be a repeated order!

And now these two monks are actually using hollow canes to smuggle silkworms, needless to say, they know what the idea is?

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, and this generation should take a peek at the military situation before the battle. Come on, cut off the heads of these two monks and hang them on top of the tower......"

Since the two monks rushed to Middle-earth to steal silkworms, they naturally understood the words of Middle-earth, and when they heard the words, they were suddenly frightened and weakened, and couldn't help shouting: "Spare your life, you military masters spare your life......"

It's just that at this time, who cares about them?

Naturally, he pulled it down without hesitation, and in an instant, the two bloody heads were already hanging at the city gate like lanterns.

When the business travelers saw it, they couldn't help but change color with fright, and they secretly scolded these two monks for being crazy, and they dared to do this kind of business?

The Han issued strict orders, and as long as there are merchants selling things that are not allowed to be bought and sold, they will all be beheaded at home, without saying a word.

Everyone knows that selling iron horses to the grassland can make money, and often between the shots, it is more than ten times the profit.

It has been said that triple profits would allow all merchants to risk their heads......

But when a thing, although it has a huge profit, no one has ever succeeded. That's another story......

What happened in Xiao Guan was just a small episode.

Here the messenger rested for a while, drank his horse, and then led the party again.

Head towards the Gaochang place, where the Western Regions Governor's Mansion of the Han Dynasty is located.

Speaking of which, it is different from the wars of the five generations in later generations. Although there were frequent wars between the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the dog's brains were played, they always firmly controlled the Western Regions in their hands.

Before that year, Liang Zhangjun was stationed in Gaochang, and even implemented the county system in the Western Regions, imitating the original example, setting up Gaochang County, setting up a county under the county, setting up a township and a li under the county, placing the county guard, setting up the county order, and the township has a Qiangfu and a lizheng.

Later generations occupied Liangzhou, and always controlled the countries of the Western Regions.

It was when Li Wei confronted Mengxun of Beiliang and occupied Liangzhou. They also have great influence on the Western Regions.

After the Han Dynasty subdued Li Wei and Fuqu Mengxun, he completely subdued Liangzhou, and the Western Regions was even more in the palm of Liu Shengzhi's hands.

As early as the year before last, Liu Shengzhi had already set up a governor's mansion in the Western Regions. Today, Liu Jinling is in charge.

Now the Han Dynasty dominates the world, and the business and travel exchanges with the Western Regions are extremely close.

This way to Gaochang, as far as the itinerary can reach, business and tourist inns are dense, and roads have been built in many places. What's more, the Puchang Sea has not completely dried up, and it is still able to sail. The ecological system between the oases along the way is well preserved, which makes the transportation of this trip much more convenient.

A team of more than 20 messengers, when they arrived at Gaochang, they all seemed out of shape.

Soon, Liu Jinling had already received the news, and after coming to receive the edict of the Son of Heaven, his eyes flashed.

"Governor?" asked one of his staff members in a whisper.

Liu Jinling didn't say much, just smiled faintly: "Come on, give me an order, let those white Huns at the foot of Jinshan come to Gaochang for me." ”

"Ah, the White Huns, the remnants of the Great Moon Clan?"

This staff member was shocked, but he didn't know that Liu Jinling, the governor of the Western Regions, who was in charge of dozens of countries in the entire Western Regions and had an army of 50,000, why was he in a hurry to see those White Huns after he had just received the edict from the Son of Heaven?

"Wait a minute, and I'll go and give orders at once. Let the White Huns' Shan Yu come to see you on his knees!" Although the staff didn't dare to ask, they said so confidently.

Since the defeat of the Xianbei tribes, especially Rouran, there are no more powerful tribes on the grassland from the west to the east of Jinshan to the Great Xianbei Mountain.

All the tribes of the grassland are subjugated to the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty, trembling!

Just a white Hun, even if the Han family casually sent a small school to deliver the decree, the so-called Shan Yu had to kneel respectfully.

Not to mention that now this is the personal reception of the Governor of the Western Regions, which is already an incomparable glory for their White Huns!

"Go ahead!"

Liu Jinling remained silent, although he didn't know why Liu Shengzhi made this will.

But he knows one thing very well, that is, when the Han Dynasty has been peaceful for several years and its national strength has recovered, his eyes have turned to the direction of the Western Regions!

"What does the Son of Heaven think?" Liu Jinling shook his head and didn't think much about it.

The Son of Heaven has never done things unexpectedly, sweeping the world and destroying strong enemies. What the Son of Heaven was going to do, how could he guess?

Thinking like this, Liu Jinling also put down his thoughts.

But at this time, thinking that Liu Shengzhi's edict mentioned that Yang Lefei and Liu Bobo's army would soon be transferred, and when they all came to the Western Regions to gather, Liu Jinling's heart suddenly sudden.

"Isn't it related to the sun that appeared in the west a few days ago?"

Thinking like this, Liu Jinling was so excited that he didn't dare to slack off: "Wait a minute, you don't need to send someone, I'll personally lead the people to a trip!"

"Ah, Dudu, it's too much to give those white Huns face, right?"

"What do you know!" Liu Jinling snorted unceremoniously. He should have thought a long time ago that since Liu Shengzhi specifically mentioned the White Huns, this matter must be very important.

Five thousand Han troops, fully armoured, like dragons, headed straight for Jinshan.

At the foot of the Golden Mountain, there are large areas of grassland, and many tribes are thriving, but they are all under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Especially this one called the White Huns, although they claim to be Huns from their ancestors. But most of them are white-skinned and blond-haired, and they are clearly the remnants of the Otsuki clan back then.

At that time, the Dayue clan was nomadic in the western part of the Hexi Corridor from Zhangye to Dunhuang, and the power was strong and powerful, but it was defeated by the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan Yu.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, and his original plan was to find the Dayue clan to join forces and jointly deal with the Xiongnu. (To be continued.) )
