If Xie An knew that Ran Min's public ridicule would definitely be angry, the enemy they faced was not a clear battle in a clear position, but a complex mountain area to evade and attack, and there was no time when the mountain battle was simple, no matter what era it was.
Xiqiang Mountain is just a general name, in fact, it contains several continuous mountains and a large area of dense forest, where the terrain is not lost to Bashu at all, and it can even be said that it is more complicated than Bashu.
Bashu has at least been artificially developed, and has long opened up a path that people can walk, and then as the habitat of Zhuxia since ancient times, there will always be a map survey, but Xiqiang Mountain is really not the field that Zhuxia has set foot in.
Located below the plateau is the Xiqiang Mountains, with its mountains and dense forests, as well as two distinct basins.
It is important to know that areas that have not been artificially developed mean that there are no roads, and that swampy areas can easily form under the long-term accumulation of water in the basin.
Everything is in a primitive state, and there are countless beasts and various insects, and the challenge of human access is not low at all.
Xie An led the army to carry out a dragnet encirclement and suppression, and many times the difficulties were not in the resistance of the remnants of Qiang and Di, but in the fact that nature had added countless difficulties to the encirclement and suppression.
During their encirclement and suppression, there was no shortage of corpses found in the wilderness of violent corpses, almost all of them died, and the most were poisoned by poisonous insects, even if they had sufficient preparations in advance, but the non-combat attrition was quite serious.
It has never been easy to open up a primitive area, and it is possible to know what kind of fearless spirit the ancestors had, so that there is an environment for future generations to live comfortably.
How the remnants of the war against Qiang and Di are going is not something that Ran Min should care about, he can even tease or ridicule Xu Zheng from time to time, how can he be merciful to Xie An, who is not very good "The hussar general is exactly the same as always" Li Kuang didn't say what he said later, but everyone understood what it meant.
He looked around for a while before he said to Xie Ai: "Since the hussar general has arrived at Yangguan, everything is finished."
Xie Ai saw that Ran Min was coming, and there was no trouble to do, so he was naturally greatly relieved in his heart.
But he didn't dare to relax at all, and said, "I can't slack off."
Li Kuang understands in seconds, it doesn't matter what attitude Ran Min has, the important thing is not to make any moths on his side.
All in all, although it rained some time ago, but the drought in the northwest is already irreversible, the Han State in the northwest to take strong measures to suppress Xiaoxiao, and Xie Ai came forward to win over the object, the trouble will face iron-blooded suppression, the official also gave a way to live, the big guy still thinks about how to survive under the official plan.
The locals in the northwest participated in the march into the Western Regions to find a way to survive by means of outward conquest, while the people from the rest of the region came purely for military exploits.
There are too many people flocking to the northwest from all over the country, but it is a reminder to the people of the northwest, under the premise that the Han State attaches great importance to military merits, it is an unprecedented good thing to obtain military merits without being a member of the army, but don't miss this opportunity to change your own destiny.
"Although we don't have a military membership, we are led by the army to march into the army, what's the difference" Sanshi arrived in Yangguan early, as the first batch of personnel to be trained: "Meritorious service is still recognized, you can get a knighthood, and you should be rewarded a lot." ” In fact, there are more good things, such as after arriving in Yangguan, eating and drinking are also undertaken by the military, and the food is even more incomparable to the family, that is, the training is very strict, and the physical strength consumed is also very large.
In today's age, even wealthy families can hardly guarantee a few meals of meat every month, but the Han army's recipe is never short of meat, especially water-based meat.
Mishi had already eaten a salted fish just now and was in the process of lowering his mouth to the second one.
He likes salted fish very much, not how delicious salted fish is, but salted fish has plenty of salt, rice and rice with salted fish, and a bowl of thick meaty soup, I feel that I am living a beautiful life of the landlord.
From the very beginning, there was no shortage of seafood in the Han Kingdom, and at one time it also traded with the Tuoba Dynasty with salted fish as its main product.
The reason why it is called salted fish is that it is made by mixing salt.
Salt is a necessity for everyone, but many places don't produce salt at all.
There are salt ponds in the northwest, or salt ponds that have existed since the pre-Qin period, but the output of salt ponds is very small, and the quality is not good at all.
It has to be said that the people in the northwest have been in a state of salt shortage for a long time, and it is a luxury to want to get the salt that is serious, and the vast majority of people can only use salty cloth, and they will not even have a little salty taste.
Not only in the northwest, but also in many places around the world are lacking in salt, and there are all kinds of means to increase the saltiness of food when cooking, and the taste is there, but there is no supplement to the body, resulting in the body always lacking this and that, not only can not live long, but all kinds of problems are not lacking.
It can be said that Sanshi has never eaten salt in the real sense since he was a child, and it is not difficult to understand his love for salted fish.
Wheat flour to make pasta is a matter of recent years, the first popular place is the original Qingzhou administrative area, and then to the surrounding expansion, that is, it has not yet spread to the northwest, that is to say, the northwest of the extremely popular pasta in later generations is still millet rice, rice rice, corn and many grains and the like.
In fact, wheat was not the main grain in the Central Plains, and most of it was used as a staple food after the season to replant crops, and wheat did not receive much attention, but most of it was planted with barley.
Before the advent of wheat milling, wheat was an extremely difficult food to swallow, and it was also related to hulling technology.
If it hadn't been improved by Liu Yan, not only would the wheat mill not appear so early, but the husking of a variety of grains would also be done by scooping, that is, holding heavy wood and slowly scooping, and the women in the family often need to scoop for an hour or two just for each meal.
Rice is not popular north of the Yangtze River, and many people in the northwest did not know about the existence of rice as a food until they arrived in Yangguan.
The military's sources of rice are the southwest and Indochina Peninsula, with the Indochina Peninsula receiving the most rice.
In fact, the taste of rice is different in each region, depending on the local climate, and the more suitable local taste is naturally better.
Later generations developed hybrid rice for yield, but the nutritional value is really not good, but there is nothing more important than making the people of the whole country eat.
If you want to say where the best rice is, there is no doubt that the rice produced in the Indochina Peninsula is not only full and bright, but also has a high nutritional value.
Nowadays, many people in the Han Kingdom can eat rice produced in Indochina, but they are much happier than their children and grandchildren.
"It's going to be pulled out tomorrow."
"Yes, go out of Yangguan to Bailongdui."
It doesn't matter what Bailongdui was called before, the name is, of course, the name of the first generation of the Western Han Dynasty who pioneered the Western Regions, which confirms the rule that only the strong have the "right to name".
Bailongdui is the modern Lop Nur, that is, there is no vast desert there, only some areas form the Gobi, and most areas are grasslands.
After going out of Yangguan, the terrain on the way to the west tends to be mostly flat, that is, there are mountains and small hills, and you can reach Puchanghai more than 600 miles ahead.
By the way, Puchanghai Yanze is the old name of the Han Dynasty, and the title of Puchanghai has been continued to Cao Wei, and it was renamed Gulanhai in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Of course, Liu Yan ignored some of the names given during the reign of the Sima family and reverted to the title of Xianhan.

The west of Yangguan is a plain terrain, and there is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles in the south.
Further south of the Jin Mountains is an extremely extensive basin, modernly named the Qaidam Basin, and further south is the Kunlun Mountains.
Xie An's current place of fierce battle is south of Kunlun Mountain, where the mountains are continuous, but there are many basins, the difficulties they encountered are the same as those in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and even more difficult than those in the Sui and Tang dynasties, at least in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were six Tuyuhun inhabitants, but at present it is really a very primitive appearance.
The entire route from the Central Plains to the Western Regions has a general name called the Hexi Corridor.
This Hexi corridor is not a layer of unchanged, desertification and Gobi will change the road, the current use of the route from Guzang all the way west to Yangguan, waiting because the climate has changed the face, to the Sui and Tang dynasties can only choose the route to Yumen Pass, resulting in many cultural works of the Sui and Tang dynasties are basically not seen Yangguan, but many poets often mention Yumen Pass.
"Fifty-five thousand men are enough for three months' food, and if there is a shortage of food, the enemy will be the enemy."
Li Kuang said that there was nothing dissatisfied, and their march out of Yangguan into the Western Regions was originally a kind of "stop-loss" behavior, and the state was willing to provide them with three months, and they had already done their best to do their best when the whole country was about to face a comprehensive food shortage.
Xie Ai will not leave Yangguan, he will still stay in the northwest to deal with the follow-up matters.
The first group of people to go to the Western Regions will be led by Li Kuang, and they can act cheaply after entering the Western Regions, that is, they will not be restricted by some rules and regulations.
After the first batch, the second batch of men will be drawn in the following month, but they will no longer enter the Western Regions in the form of a legion, and it is a "free journey" with a small group of people, which means that the first batch led by Li Kuang is to open up the situation, which is very similar to the Han State's exploration of the Indochina Peninsula.
Because it is a march into the Western Regions under the premise of survival, the official did not issue uniforms for each Xiaoguo, which means that except for the soldiers of the military, the rest of the people wear everything, and the only thing they have in common is that they are fully armed.
On the day of the official departure, Ran Min, who had disappeared for a while, reappeared.
Ran Min was standing on top of the Yangguan Pass and watching the procession that was constantly marching through the pass, accompanied by Xie Ai on his side.
"Southerners have Indochina Peninsula, northerners have Western Regions."
Ran Min actually doesn't have a deeper understanding of encouraging the people to open up outward, but simply thinks that it's good to have a place where they can rob: "This is fair." ” The Yangguan city wall is about eight meters high, connecting two mountains, and there are urn cities inside and outside, and the mountain part is hollowed out for hiding soldiers and hoarding supplies.
Since it was rebuilt by Zhang's Liangguo, it has really not played a role, and it has always been Zhang's Liangguo who took the initiative to send troops to the Western Regions, and the people of the Western Regions did not even approach Yangguan once.
"The Western Regions are different from Indochina.
The Indochina Peninsula is in the wilderness, that is, there is a political power, and most areas are not controlled, and most of them are savages.
Xie Ai is not unaware of the Indochina Peninsula, and there are two completely different environments from the Western Regions, and then there are: "The Western Regions were full of small countries before the Han Dynasty conquered, and there were even strong countries.
It is also located at the intersection of the East and the West, with diverse cultures and strong folk customs. ” "The Han people in the north are also better able to fight than the Han people in the south."
Ran Mincai didn't care whether it was a map cannon or not, and said with a smile: "What can be fought is suitable for those who can fight." ” Xie Ai is just saying, the people of the Western Regions can fight again, and for a long time, they have been taught by Zhuxia how to be a person, and the developed Western Regions are also less dangerous from nature than the Indochina Peninsula. 55,000 people out of the customs, there is only one city gate hole can pass, the speed is really not fast, from the first batch of people out of the customs to the last person out, the whole process actually took as many as seven hours, resulting in the cavalry troops as the lead are 20 miles away, but the back is hanging.
Until the last person left the Yang Pass, Ran Min looked at the long line and said, "What is the reaction over there in the Western Regions?"
"The Han gathered 120,000 people in Yangguan, and the movement was too big."
Xie Ai was not responsible for marching into the Western Regions, and he had a lot of contact with Li Kuang but also knew the situation: "Shanshan ran in many ways, and Yanqi, Gaochang, Jimo, Jingjue and other countries knew that they were powerful, and they took Qiuzi as the leader of the alliance and formed a coalition to wait for them. ” "The country of merchants and musicians" Ran Min is really no stranger to Qiuci, mainly because Shijie Zhao Kingdom has accepted quite a lot of Qiuci people, and Fotucheng, who is very courteous to Shihu, is from the Western Regions.
He said with some amusement: "With Qiuzi as the leader of the alliance, just because Qiuzi is rich" really let Ran Min guess correctly, if you want to say which country is the richest in the Western Regions now, it is definitely headed by Qiuzi.
Qiuzi has money to the point of hiring people everywhere, so he relies on mercenaries to open up territory, and constantly uses money to smash it, smashing out the countries of the Western Regions that should be jealous, and just watching Qiuzi continue to expand.
"If Shule and the driver don't move, it's not a big problem."
Ran Min really looks down on the Qiuzi people, and it has a lot to do with Zhu Xia's fixed thinking, and Zhu Xia has not thought that the country of merchants and servants can do anything big since ancient times.
He remembered something, and asked with a little amusement: "The Wusun people really did something to the driver" Xie Ai still knew why Ran Min had such obvious ridicule, mainly because the Han side only hinted slightly, knowing that Wusun, who was determined in the Western Regions of the Han Kingdom's Jin Army, was as determined to hug his thighs as in history
