Chapter 408: There Can Only Be One Yueshi in Causeway Bay!


When a big moon clan and a small moon clan are in the same frame, I'm afraid no one can see that they were the same clan a hundred years ago.The Xiaoyue clan ran south to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and after several generations of people mingling with the Qiang people at the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains, they were moving closer to the Qiang people in terms of customs and appearance.The Da Yue clan moved west to Central Asia and intermarried with the local Cypriots and Daxia people, and their appearance became more bearded.The envoy of the King of the Great Moon Clan in front of him, "Wen Xule", is a typical example, his blue eyes are phoenix eyes, almost to the temples, his nose is straight, his beard is curled up on his lips, his neat hair is tied up with rings, and he is wearing a silk dress, he is being reprimanded by Ren Hong's tough attitude and is a little overwhelmed, so he can only secretly say in his heart: "The capital protection of the Han is really vicious and rude!"

”You must know that Dahan has always treated the Dayue clan differently, first in Luntai, and the deputy capital Chang Hui treated him politely.Ren Hong thought that it was the Han Dynasty that treated the Dayue clan too favorably and spoiled them.Earlier, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, the purpose was to find the Xiongnu's mortal enemy Da Yue, after a lot of hard work to find, Da Yue had occupied Bactria, the land was fertile, surrounded by weak farming city-states, Zhi Anle, and the Han was too far away, so there was no revenge, so Zhang Qian ran in vain, but he couldn't get the essentials of the Yue clan.Although the Han Dynasty adjusted its direction afterwards and replaced the joint object with Wusun, compared to the original Yueshi, Wusun was only a spare tire.What you can't get is even more disturbing, and the Otsuki clan has since become the white rose in the heart of Emperor Xiaowu, the crush who pursued hard but was rejected, and this emotion has affected to this day.In Chang'an, the envoys of the Fanyue clan entered the court, and the specifications exceeded those of Kangju and Dawan envoys, and they were on the same level as Anxi and Wusun.It was originally the Han Dynasty to show the great power and the friendship between the two states, but the Da Yue clan was used to this kind of favor, plus they killed the Quartet in Central Asia, abused Da Xia, and poisoned themselves, and they really treated themselves as dishes.Why don't you send a deputy king or a marquis, a mere envoy, and you still want to sit on the right side of King Hu of Guiyi?

As for the Son of Heaven sealing the wolf as the king of the Xiaoyue clan, it has nothing to do with the Dayue clan thousands of miles away.It's just that after the king of the Great Yue clan heard about this, he knew that he still had such a poor relative from the mountain, and he regarded himself as the orthodox successor of the Yue clan: "You are also worthy of being called the Yue clan!?"

”Of course!

In front of the envoy sent by the king of the Xiaoyue clan, Wolf He, who invited him to Pu Zhize, Ren Hong solemnly reprimanded Wen Xule and said: "A hundred years ago, the Yueshi was attacked by the Huns and scattered in the west, and the head of the king of the Yueshi became a Hun single drinker, which is a great shame.When Emperor Xiaowu, the Marquis of Bowang invited the Dayue clan to return to his hometown and fight the Xiongnu together, but the queen of the Dayue clan refused. ”As far as the Metropolitan Protectorate was concerned, the Da Yue clan was no longer a friend to unite, but a competitor who claimed to be the protector of Dawan and Sogdia, and the Xiao Yue clan was different, it was the sentinel dog he used to deal with the Xiongnu.How can there be a reason in this world to let the guard dog not love, but to pet the outside to grab wild dogs?

This matter is indeed the fault of the Dayue clan, Wen Xule had no choice but to apologize to Ren Hong, in fact, he mentioned this matter just to seek more benefits for the trade between the Dayue clan delegation and the Western Regions Protectorate.Seeing that he had annoyed Ren Duhu, Wen Xule immediately changed the topic, and with a blow of his hand, he asked the deputy envoy beside him to step forward and present the gifts given to Ren Hong by the King of the Great Moon Clan and the Marquis of Guishuang.It was a typical Persian craft, with a silver base inlaid with polished sky-blue stones, which glittered in the sunlight, but it was the main commodity that the Otsutsuki clan imported into the Han land: lapis lazuli, which the Han people called "Xuanlin".Lapis lazuli beautiful and rare polycrystalline gemstones, mainly produced in Afghanistan in later generations, can hardly be found in China, is a scarce import, because of its hue like the sky, or complex gold dust scattered, brilliant, if the stars are beautiful in the sky, for the nobles to love.It is mostly used to make the burial vessels of emperors, princes and princes, with its blue color, so that the deceased can easily follow this to reach the road to heaven.In addition, it can also be used as a sky blue dye, which used to be the favorite color of the people of Qiuzi, such as the Qizi divided into three, and the largest buyer became the Togofu.It was then sold as a tribute, and sent to Yumen Pass together with jade, raisins, and cotton shirts.Wen Xule put forward their appeal: "In the past, more than 100 people from the Dayue Clan's mission could enter the Yumen Pass, but from this year onwards, they have set up cards in Loulan City, and only 20 people are allowed to be envoys, and the rest must enter as merchants" Because the Han Dynasty used to give preferential treatment to the Dayue Clan, not only did they eat and lodging the envoys who came to the court, but even sent cars to pick them up, so the Dayue Clan often desperately stuffed people into the mission, often 100 hundreds, eating and drinking all the way, making it miserable, and receiving the missions of various countries became a major expense for the Metropolitan Protectorate.After Ren Hong took office, he drastically cut this expenditure, only entertaining the chief envoy at public expense, and the rest of the people took care of their own expenses, which greatly restricted the activities of the Dayue clan in the Western Regions.Wen Xule hoped that the restrictions would be relaxed, and Ren Hong played with the lapis lazuli in his hand for a while, but threw it back to the people of the Otsuki clan."

The Otsuki clan and Han are friends, and everything can be discussed, but I want more than lapis lazuli.""

What do you want?"

Wen Xule felt that there was a play, and he heard that they all had two hobbies, one was orchids, and the other was good horses, and there was no shortage of Yue's family.Ren Hong smiled: "I want someone!"

”"The Weaver Girl of the Poison Country, the Stonemason of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Coppersmith and Silversmith of the Rest Country.I heard that although the Da Yue clan has settled in Lan Clan City, they often ride on both sides of the Amu Darya River.He was a minister to the south, and even went on an expedition to poison, and he was also at war with the Western Sabbath. ”"Naturally, there are captives in the war, and there is no shortage of ordinary slaves and maids in the Western Regions, but if the Dayue Clan can take these three types of people captive to the Western Regions, they can be exchanged for silk silk."

This is the goods that Ren Hong ordered for the Da Yue clan, the cotton planting in the Western Regions is in the ascendant, although the variety is limited and no good cotton cloth can be woven, but the poisonous weaver girl can be sent to Nanhai County, where cotton can grow in India.The Persian gold, silver and bronze utensils have a unique style, which is very different from the Central Plains, and is a luxury item that can be sold at a high price, the sculpture of the Greeks in Bactria is a must, and the Buddhist statue is also influenced by it, and the stone carving art Han people do not shoot much, Ren Hong's aesthetics are too seriously influenced by later generations, and every time I think of Wei Qing, Huo Quai's tomb, the simple stone carving in front of the tomb feels a pity.These two types of people can cause a wave of wind in Chang'an.After Wen Xule said goodbye, Ren Hong summoned Feng Fengshi: "According to the specifications of the Han Dynasty to receive the envoy of the Yue Clan, Wen Xule is going to take the two seals to Luntai?"

”"Exactly.""

What kind of specifications is the envoy of the Marquis of Guishan?"

The Marquis of Guishan is one of the five marquis under the rule of the King of the Great Moon clan, with a population of 100,000 and 30,000 cavalry, to protect the bath city, which is the narrow corridor between Afghanistan and China in the Wakhan Valley, which is a shortcut through the Pamir Plateau, the same as the Western Regions, so it has frequent exchanges with the capital protectorate, and now it happens to buy silk silk in Luntai City.And the specifications of its envoy are obviously lower than that of the envoy of the king of the Great Moon Clan, Feng Fengshi said: "For the sake of driving a ride." ”Ren Hong was thoughtful, he had previously reprimanded the Dayue clan for "interfering in the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty", and now he was going to make a little worse and do something within the Dayue clan.He told Feng Fengshi: "Let the envoy of the king of the Dayue clan and the Marquis of Guishan arrange in the Luntai place, the envoy of the king of the Yue clan will live in the middle house, and the envoy of the Guishan clan will live in the upper house." ”"When sending the two of them back to the west, they should also be arranged in front of the other, Guishuang in front, for the two seals, and the envoy of the Dayue clan in the back, for the drive and one ride!"

The specifications were completely reversed, Feng Fengshi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "All protect the desire to make the Great Yue Clan's rebellion against the Marquis's divisive plan?"

”Qu Reverse Xianhou is the old Yin coin Chen Ping, who offered a plan when Chu and Han fought for Liu Bang and was trapped in Xingyang.When Xiang Yu's envoy came, Chen Ping prepared a sumptuous feast, personally held the delicacies and offered them, looked at the envoy carefully, and deliberately pretended to be surprised and said: "I thought that the envoy of the second father was also." ”He changed the delicacies and changed them to coarse food for Xiang Yu's messenger.The messenger came back and reported indignantly to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, who suspected that his father had a personal relationship with Han, and took away the power slightly, so angry that Fan Zeng resigned and died of gangrene.Now that Ren Hong's trick is used in Yue's family, what effect will it have?

Is it that the king of the Otsuki clan is suspicious of Guishuang, or is Guishuang instigated by Ren Hong and unwilling to be under the king of the Otsuki clan?

Feng Fengshi didn't understand why Ren Hong wanted to attack friendly countries.Ren Hongdao: "Without him, the Dayue clan prides itself on being a strong country in the west of the mountains, and regards Shule, Dawan, and Zhengbin as subject states, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?"

Rather than waiting for it to threaten the Western Regions in the future, it is better to arrange it in advance. ”After making so many excuses, Ren Hong only said secretly: "When the time is ripe, and let the people of the Dayue clan see and understand, what is the superpower blatantly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries!"

”In July of the first four years, Ren Hong led the army to Pu Zhize, and personally cheered for the return of the king wolf He of the Xiaoyue clan to his hometown, and appeased him to guard this corner of northern Xinjiang for the Han Dynasty.Afterwards, he returned to Beiting, this year, the Huns were in civil strife, and they couldn't spare their hands to deal with the Duhufu, and the Han Dynasty was also hindered by the earthquake, so it would not touch the moldy head and use troops externally, but it was a good time for large-scale production.Ren Hong prepared to go to the imperial court, and in accordance with the affairs of Loulan, the four areas directly controlled by the Han army, such as Qian, Luntai, Quli, and Dongjimi, were changed into counties and roads, and military towns were built."

Under the command of General Anxi, the four towns of Anxi are naturally indispensable!"

When he returned to Luntai City, where he was stationed, and wanted to see his wife who had been pregnant for a long time for the first time, he had just entered the city, but the maid under Yaoguang hurriedly came to report: "Junhou, I'm about to give birth!"
