Although the whole winter of the sixth year of Yuande was cold, it was warm in the hearts of the entire Chinese people.
Wang Shi out of the plug, pouting for thousands of miles, collecting the fortress of Gaoque, recovering the homeland of Qin Zhao Jiuyuan County, Liangbei River and Dingyang Mountain, Yin Mountain in sight.
In the south, the king of Nanyue also respectfully wrote to the princes of Binei to remove the border passes.
The people of Changsha even discovered overnight that Wuling, which was once blocked by barriers and heavily intercepted by heavy troops, suddenly became a smooth road.
The South Vietnamese market was officially and completely opened to China.
Countless businessmen smiled with joy.
South Vietnam has a population of millions and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, which is enough to be a state in China.
The sudden creation of such a market without any restrictions is tantamount to giving merchants a huge new slanting place for commodities out of thin air.
It was also in this winter that the name of the Han Dynasty, which crossed the distance between mountains and seas, appeared for the first time in the world.
The first to learn the news were the countries of the Western Regions.
Countless palaces in the Western Regions Kingdom, almost overnight, the whirlwind of the Han Dynasty blewed.
Countless kings and ministers, in private, after avoiding the surveillance of the Huns, quietly began to discuss.
"I heard that there is a strong country in the east, called Han, Han is extremely powerful, rich and rich, first defeated the Xiongnu in Mayi, and then fought in Gaoque, all victorious" The king of the ancient Loulan Kingdom asked his close ministers: "This king intends to contact the Han Dynasty, I don't know if it is feasible" Loulan is an ancient kingdom whose ancestors settled and multiplied on the side of Lop Nur a long time ago.
This kingdom was once free to farm and live near the rich Lop Nur.
But the nightmare struck more than thirty years ago.
The battle for grassland hegemony between the Xiongnu and the Yueshi affected Loulan.
In the face of the Xiongnu soldiers, in order to protect the people of the whole country, the king of Loulan at that time could only kneel in humiliation in front of the hooves of the Xiongnu old Shangshan Yu, and agreed to countless harsh conditions.
Among them were the dedication of the year, the punctual entry and exit of the Xiongnu army, and the fact that successive queens had to marry from the Xiongnu.
The king of Loulan in this generation is half of the Xiongnu blood.
However, he hated the Huns immensely.
Because the Huns were insatiable and insatiable They took away almost all the wealth and savings of the Loulan Kingdom, and even all the benefits of the Silk Road After the military ministers went west, they arrogantly demanded that Loulan contribute a total of one million catties of grain and thousands of people who carried grain, but they refused to share half of the profits of the westward expedition.
Of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, there was only one chariot division, which shared the spoils of the Huns' western expedition This made the other kingdoms, in the midst of their anger and dissatisfaction.
King Loulan is one of them.
He dreamed of getting rid of the control of the Xiongnu and restoring the autonomy of the Loulan Kingdom.
Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a dream.
That cronie naturally had the same thoughts as King Loulan.
In the countries of the Western Regions, the Huns have always appeared as domineering presidents.
Even sometimes, people don't even bother to be a domineering president, and directly threaten and intimidate nakedly, and if they don't comply, they will immediately be overwhelmed by soldiers, burned, killed, and plundered The terrible Hun cavalry drove straight in, most of the kingdoms were reduced to ashes, many cities were in ruins, and the corpses of the dead were enough to fill the whole of Yanze Lop Nur.
It's just that The cronie sighed inwardly.
The Kingdom of Loulan is too weak The total population is only 100,000 Moreover, the major generals are weak, and they do not have the capital to stand on their own feet at all.
When the Yue's people were there, they didn't exploit and squeeze Loulan.
The only difference is that at that time, Loulan could also rely on the ancient Silk Road to make profits from trade.
It is foreseeable that even if the Han Dynasty came, they might not be more merciful than the Huns to go there.
The front door drives the tiger, and the back door enters the wolf.
In the end, Loulan still can't get rid of the fate of being enslaved and oppressed moreover The minister raised his head, looked at the young, angry and extremely uneasy king, and said: "Great king, Loulan is a small country, it is difficult to be the anger of a big country, and it is impossible to protect oneself in the struggle between the two powers, besides, the policies and demands of the Han Dynasty, we know nothing now, if the Han Dynasty people are more greedy, more brutal, and more domineering than the Huns, we should wait and see."
This is also the sorrow and helplessness of a small country.
Especially a small country like Loulan that is too close to a superpower like the Xiongnu.
It is naturally certain that it will be enslaved and controlled by the powerful powers.
However, the young King of Loulan could not hear the minister's advice, he snorted and said: "That is also stronger than being constrained and enslaved by the Xiongnu in everything now, and the Han Dynasty is far away from our country, it is difficult to infiltrate and control our country like the Xiongnu, as long as the Han Dynasty can help me expel the Xiongnu, then it is inevitable to pay a little price and benefit."
"General Zuo, don't say more" He glared at the minister who still wanted to advise and said: "Select a few warriors for me, go to the Han Dynasty, send an envoy, and tell the Han Dynasty the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty my thoughts and meanings."
The kingdom of the Western Regions has been controlled, enslaved and exploited by the Huns for too long.
These hatreds and grievances accumulate over decades, two or three generations.
Naturally, all the countries in the Western Regions had a deep hatred for the Xiongnu.
Kingdoms like Loulan, which occupied the roads of the Silk Road, all started the idea of taking advantage of convenient transportation to connect with the Han Dynasty.
Even those countries outside the Silk Road have secretly thought about it, and even some kingdoms have begun to quietly strengthen their arms.

Now the countries of the Western Regions, even the Cheshi Kingdom have also understood a fact: the troubled times are coming, and the world has entered the great era of Han-Hungarian hegemony.
All kingdoms must calm down and think about whether to choose the Xiongnu or the Han Dynasty in the upcoming magnificent era There are kingdoms that decide to contact the Han Dynasty and try the idea of the Han Dynasty, and there are also kingdoms that have a great hatred with the Xiongnu, and they don't need to contact the Han Dynasty first, they have already decided that as long as the Han army kills them, they will immediately turn back.
But there were also kingdoms that were desperate to follow the Xiongnu.
After all, the Huns were too strong In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of these kingdoms, what was the Han Dynasty It's always right to follow the Hun father Especially the Cheshi, the Cheshi was originally a kingdom that was most enslaved and controlled by the Xiongnu, and it relied on wagging its tail to beg for mercy and obedience for preservation in the past dynasties.
But who knows, because they were too deferential and obedient, so that the Huns were embarrassed.
Especially the Xiongnu at that time, the old Shangshan was such a male master.
Lao Shangdan Yu may be out of strategic considerations, based on the thinking of Qianjin Ma Gu, or maybe he simply feels that he must support such an obedient role model, so he gave a lot of preferential treatment and tolerance to the king of the driver.
This made the royal family of the Cheshi inexplicably grateful.
The so-called Stockholm syndrome effect played a role.
For decades, the Cheshi Kingdom has been the most obedient, obedient and obedient kingdom of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, and the most worry-free for the Huns.
King Cheshi even took out all his own land and experimented with the Huns riding the land system, making his people slaves of the Xiongnu riding policy.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the Cheshi royal family to part ways with the Huns.
Instead, he had to follow the strategy of the Xiongnu and cling to the thighs of the Xiongnu in order to maintain his rule.
So, King Cheshi made a small report to the Huns about some of the conspiracies of the Western Regions Kingdom that he had heard.
When the Huns found out, they were furious, and immediately sent troops into the small countries betrayed by the king of Cheshi, killed the king, hung his head on the head of the city to show the public, killed chickens and monkeys, and shocked the countries of the Western Regions.
This policy is very effective.
All at once frightened and intimidated the kingdoms that were about to move.
The king of Loulan was even so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night, and immediately terminated his secret plan to contact the Han Dynasty.
After all, the Han Dynasty was too far away, and the Xiongnu were too close But farther away, beyond the Golden Mountains, across the Green Mountains, there exists a kingdom called Kangju.
Kangju was a regime established by the Cypriots.
At this time, the Kangju people were in a transitional period of nomadic herding and farming.
The northern part of the kingdom is a nomadic area, while the eastern part of the kingdom is an agricultural area.
Many of the Kangju people are even farming and nomadic at the same time.
This kingdom, naturally, is still stuck in the era of slavery.
The Kangju people were heavily influenced by the Xiongnu and the Greeks, and in this kingdom, there were both shamanic and Greek beliefs, as well as Zoroastrianism.
And the Kangju Kingdom has also been committed to building a big country with a sound and impressive.
Its goal was to eventually annex the Western Regions in the east, Bactria in the west, and eventually dominate Central Asia.
Therefore, Kangju people have always jumped very much.
And the jump is very high It's a pity that last year, the Kangju people were trampled on the ground by the Xiongnu Western Expeditionary Army and beaten half-body.
Most of the kingdom's army was lost in battles with the Xiongnu.
Especially in the Battle of Alexandria in the Far East, the Kangju people were almost completely annihilated And before that, the entire eastern part of Kangju was almost destroyed by the Huns.
This made the Kangju people afraid and hated the Huns. is like a Lori who was blamed for the Huns, scolding the Huns in her mouth, but in her heart she envied the strength and horror of the Hun army, hoping that she could have such an army.
At this time, between the merchants and travelers on the ancient Silk Road, a piece of information from afar, like a nuclear explosion, exploded in the hearts of the Kangju people.
Fearfully powerful, almost impossible to defeat the Huns.
Another powerful country in the distant world has entered the sight of the Kangju people.
This terrible empire, called the Han Dynasty, defeated the invincible Hun cavalry in one fell swoop on the frontal battlefield.
The main force of the Xiongnu was almost completely dispersed, and the terrible Han Dynasty army captured one of the strongest fortresses of the Xiongnu.
What's even more terrifying is that this is not the first time that the Han Dynasty has defeated the Xiongnu.
Even rumors say that the Xiongnu's westward expedition was because of the coercion of the Han Dynasty.
In order to escape the attack of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu had to move west This makes it almost difficult for Kangju people to accept.
The Huns were so strong that they had no friends, and those terrible Hun cavalry were almost like beating children and kneading the Kangju cavalry at will.
However, the Han Dynasty army did not seem to spend much effort, so they pushed the Xiongnu sideways, and the Hun cavalry could only flee in embarrassment.
In the legend, there are mythical words and fragments such as god rider and god king.
In the rumors, the Han Dynasty seems to have a mythical cavalry, and there is an irresistible, irreversible, and invincible god king leader.
That terrible empire, powerful, rich, civilized.

It is said that the precious and beautiful silk, which is sought after and loved by countless people, is the specialty of this empire.
The Kangju nobles and the royal family, after hearing these exaggerated legends, fell into a strange psychology of self-contradiction and self-resistance.
This is not surprising.
For example, Li Jiapo in later generations is the most loyal lackey of Emperor Mi, and his loyalty to Emperor Mi is even higher than neon concubines like neon and sticks.
For the sake of Midi's interests, it charged ahead, forgetting to die behind.
But one day, a nation that came out of nowhere, such as the legendary Atlantis, pressed Midi to the ground and rubbed it.
Look at what kind of performance Li Jiapo will be Although the Kangju people were the enemies of the Xiongnu, it was also the kingdom that most admired the Xiongnu system and system.
Even the Kangju people dreamed of becoming a powerful country like the Xiongnu.
But suddenly, someone told it: the Xiongnu are the strongest in the world if they count the Han Dynasty Kangju people naturally fall into a cycle of self-denial and self-doubt.
Many people wonder in their hearts whether all our efforts and sacrifices over the years have been in vain, and we are learning from the failed system of a failed country Kangju people naturally find it difficult to accept And Kangju's neighbors, Da Xia and Yue, naturally learned this outrageous information not long after.
"The Huns have been defeated" The whole country of the Great Xia Kingdom found it difficult to accept the news after hearing this.
At this time, the Xiongnu left a very deep impression on Great Xia.
The Macedonian phalanx left to them by their ancestors was easily smashed by the Hun cavalry like a child's toy, several elite legions collapsed, and even Alexander the Great's city in the far east was captured by the Huns.
This made Great Xia really frightened, they cried and cried like a wounded girl, and felt sorry for themselves, and at the same time sent envoys to the west, intending to go to Seleuci, the former suzerain, for help, and also had the intention of contacting Rome in the hope of getting Roman reinforcements or help.
Because Bactria heard that the Romans had developed a new and better phalanx, and beat the continent and Seleucid.
Even the Greek city-states were beaten to their knees.
Carthage had already surrendered.
More importantly, the kingdom of the Hellenistic sphere had a tradition of mercenaries.
As long as the price is offered, there will naturally be countless outlaws willing to serve.
Back then, Carthage had hired Roman mercenaries to beat Rome with gold coins.
But now A new choice appeared in front of the Great Xia monarchs.
Far east, the one called Han, most likely the empire of the legendary Silk Kingdom, defeated the Xiongnu So what are you waiting for Hurry up and send someone to talk to the Han Dynasty Money is not an issue Anyway, what the people of India have is money As long as the Han Dynasty can sell itself the weapons and equipment that defeated the Xiongnu, it is easy to say anything t1706231537:
