"The Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate is similar to the Western Regions, both of which are led by the cavalry captain to protect the capital, and there are also deputy captains, chief historians, translators and other officials to govern the countries west of the Green Ridge and the north and south of the river.Make the king and the marquis all wear the Han seal ribbon, and they are the princes outside the Han family. ”In Ren Hong's planning, the core of the Hezhong Protectorate is Dawan, after the king of Dawan was beheaded, his country was divided into two by Ren Hong, and the two kings of Liyucheng and Ershi divided their lands.Guishan City was directly governed by officials, so that the army could not be cowardly, and the territories and farmland and vineyards of the dead nobles of Dawan were distributed to the Han immigrants.Located at the western exit of the Fergana Basin, Khujand, now renamed Pingxi City, will be the seat of the Protectorate of the River.Kangju will also be included in the scope of the jurisdiction, Kangju weakened in the turmoil a few years ago, after the death of the Khotan supported by Zhizhi, two large forces in Kangju sent envoys to surrender, a cloud "Tumo", a cloud "Bei Sezi", Ren Hongyu with prestige, and the drinking alliance sent to divide the Kangju grassland into two, respectively, the east and west Kangju.To the south are five Sogdian city-states, and the Han merchants are reluctant to come far, and the Sogdians are undoubtedly an indispensable part of the Silk Road, which will be the money bag in Ren Hong's hands in the future, and they will have to be used well.Ren Hong even wanted to take the Great Yue Clan in the south, and he would support Guishan and let the Yue Clan's civil war continue for a year or two, and then divide the Yue Clan into five when they were exhausted.Ren Hussars had already mastered the essence of being a-stirring stick in Central Asia, but when the Han army reached the Sogdian city-state in the westernmost part of the Jinshui Delta, they stopped their journey, unwilling to cross the Amu Darya River and continue to expand westward.Zhao Han'er is addicted to fighting, chasing the dead to the north west of the Green Ridge, and he does have a bit of a hunting feeling, which is much happier than when he was in the Central Plains, so he said: "The king of the Xiongnu Zuoyi Zhizi took the sons of Zhizhi and the head drinker of the Xiongnu Zhibaoyue clan to the west and fled to the city of Mulu, so we won't chase it?"
”"It is not right to be at peace now."
Ren Hong didn't want to fight with Anxi, the terrain of the Iranian plateau was a headache, and it was not a good place to go to Mulu Oasis and Khorasan adjacent to the river, so it would be a troublesome and unprofitable war to start a war with Anxi for such a trivial matter.Moreover, Zhi Zhi gave the head, the main task of the Western Army has been completed, and at most, after solving the Dayue Clan, Zheng Ji and Feng Fengshi will go back with the main force.What Ren Hongcan keep at hand is nothing more than Zhao Han'er's 5,000 vassal horsemen who are willing to follow him to the death, and 10,000 Han jade diggers who come to the river to deceive and coax.Such a ragtag army went to fight the powerful Rest Empire, and the final result was most likely that Ren Hong's army was defeated and was poured into a mouthful of hot yellow financial liquid by the rest people.Therefore, Ren Hong only sent envoys to Mulu City to negotiate with Anxi.Coincidentally, although Anxi heard that the Han army was advancing westward, he became his new neighbor.But the West has strong enemies against them, but they don't want to make enemies with Ren Hong.For the rest of the East, the East of the empire is barren and poor, full of savage nomads, and how can there be the richness of the two rivers of the West, Syria and Asia Minor?
Since the destruction of Tiaochi and Pontus by the Roman general Pompey four years ago, and Armenia has also fallen into Roman hands, relations between the two countries have become tense, and war may break out one day.In July, a rest envoy came to Samarkand to visit Ren Hong with the heads of the Xiongnu Zuoyi Zhizi King and the sons of Zhizhi."
Who is here?"
Ren Hong looked at the large head of the national book written by Persia, he only knew a little about the history of Parthia, the conflict with Rome, but he didn't remember any specific characters, and he had to rely on Zhong who had gone to rest for the Han Dynasty."
The one who came is the son of the Keeper of Mulu in the Kingdom of Rest."
Before the Sabbath Messenger entered the door, Zhong whispered in Ren Hong's ear: "Surena from the Surin Suren family. ”Ren Hong didn't know that this was the Parthian general who cut off Crassus's head in the Battle of Kalai seven years later, and poured Lao Ke's mouth with melted gold!
Surena, the messenger of rest who visited Ren Hong in Samarkand, was only twenty-three or four years old, tall and thin, with curly black hair, a hooked nose, a relatively dark complexion, eyes like goats, and a stern look.He wore ankle-length boots, and the edges of his robe were jacquard fabrics woven from a mixture of wool, silk, and fine linen, with fine weaves and patterns, and under the robe were tight trousers with a wide belt at the waist, much like the Sogdian costume, and a splendid hat on his head.Ren Hong had to rely on a translator to communicate with him, loyal to the Western Regions for many years, and had also sent an envoy to rest in peace, but he had done enough homework, telling Ren Hong that this young man was from the Sulun Surin family, one of the seven great families of rest.Originally a nomadic people, the Sabbatarians of Parthia, on the periphery of Persia, came to claim to be the "King of Kings", and although they did not fully accept the Zoroastrian religion of blood marriage, they still inherited some of the ancient Persian Empire.For example, the "seven" is regarded as a holy number, and the seven provinces and seven governors of the country are attached to the corresponding "seven families", and they are said to have participated in the founding of the rest.Among them, the Surin family is regarded as the largest nobleman after the royal family, and he is mostly the commander of the rest army.He had been ordered by the king to suppress the Yueshi, Kangju and Sai people who had invaded the eastern part of Anxi decades earlier, and then by the way, he took 20,000 cavalry to meet the envoys of Emperor Wu of Han.Since then, the descendants of the Surin family have been stationed in Mulu for a long time, serving as governors of Sistan and Beloch, leading the affairs of the East, and commanding tens of thousands of powerful cavalry mixed with light and heavy.The strength of the Surin family is probably not much different from the current Ren Hong, but they are also profiteers on the Silk Road, the Sogdians took the silk to the west, and sold it to the Surin family, and obtained huge benefits by monopolizing the Silk Road trade, and the Surin family welcomed the Han envoys many times, and had a good impression of the Han Dynasty.Surena was full of admiration and curiosity for Ren Hong in front of him, the Surin family, who had been resting in the east for a long time, had heard of Ren Hong's name more often than the king of Rest of Ctesiphon, from his role as the "protector of the capital", to the destruction of the Huns, and then to this western expedition, the Surin family did not want to have a conflict with such a person.The lion as a gift roared outside the door, the ostrich eggs were passed around in the hands of the Han generals, and Surena sent the head of the remnants of the Xiongnu party cut off in Mulu City, and saluted Ren Hong according to the Persian etiquette.However, he got Ren Hong's title wrong."
Frathes III, King of Kings of Surenada, greetings to the Vice King of the Great Han!"
Not to mention that Surena regarded Ren Hong as the "vice king" of the Han Dynasty according to the understanding of the Persians, and at the same time, in Wusun Chigu City, the Empress Dowager Xie Wu also completed the final explanation.Armed with a jade axe, Xie Wei cut through Wusun's map, ceding a quarter of the land directly to her brave and popular daughter."
Hundreds of miles of land along the Broken Leaf Water, along with 20,000 households of Wusun people, were handed over to the Marquis of Yaoguangxi."
The Empress Dowager looked at her son again, Wusun Kunmi Dale, he had just become an adult, grew up with a Chinese-style education, read poetry and books on filial piety, but learned to ride and shoot, and in the future, with the assistance of Wusun Dalu Feng Yan and her husband, he would be a good Kunmi."
Da Le, you remember, from now on, the hundreds of miles of land west of Atami no longer belong to Wusun, but will be directly under the direct control of the future Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate."
Da Le received the order, Broken Leaf Chuan was assigned to Yaoguang ten years ago, my sister did too much for Wusun, and this time she took the Wusun cavalry to eliminate the traitor Wuzhitu, so she relieved her worries and divided her 10,000 herdsmen.There is a deep meaning in doing this, Wusun is a subject state of the Han Dynasty, but after the destruction of the Xiongnu and Kangju no longer poses a threat, the Son of Heaven may not be happy to see Wusun strong, and it is appropriate to divide it.Therefore, she deliberately handed over a quarter of the land and people to Yaoguang, so that she could go out independently, and in the future, the descendants of Dale would be better able to divide Wusun into two, which is the big and small Kunmi.In addition, Xie Wei knew that it was the arrival of his son-in-law and daughter that allowed him to be freed.She once undertook the mission of destroying Hu for the Han Union Wusun, and could have returned it after the destruction of the Xiongnu, but because of the Zhizhi West, she could not rest assured of Wusun's future, and she could not fulfill her wish.With Ren Hong's invitation to protect the capital of Lihezhong, Wusun has no external troubles, and he can finally relieve his worries.Before she left, she had to give Yaoguang enough soldiers and horses so that she could assist her husband to gain a firm foothold in the river."
That's a dowry."
Xie Wu said with a smile."
Mother, my daughter has been married for almost fifteen years."
Yaoguang blamed her for talking nonsense.After doing this, Xie Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, she completed the mission that Emperor Xiaowu sent her to be with her relatives, guarded the country for her husband, let Wusun continue in the competition of great powers, made countless herdsmen save their livelihoods, raised a qualified Kunmi, and ensured the interests of the Han in the Western Regions and the river.Now, Wusun has nothing left for her to worry about.Most of the hundreds of people who married Wusun with Xie Wu passed away, and if the rest were willing to return to the Han Dynasty, they would have been entangled and returned home by Xie Wusun, and some were married and had children in Wusun, and they took root and did not want to leave.For example, Feng Yan, although she really wanted to follow Lord Chu, Mrs.
Feng knew very well that Wusun needed her more.This time back, except for Feng Yan and Yaoguang who wanted to send her to Yumen Pass, as well as some maidservants who served, there were very few teams to relieve the Queen Mother's worries, but she was quite proud of it."
Just like in battle, the strong man returns first, and the general goes later."
The pointed hat crown of the Empress Dowager Wusun had already been removed by her, and she could still wear the Han-style skirt she brought when she was married, and then she put on a red robe, took the original festival, and sat on the carriage, carrying two points of apprehension, five points of excitement, and three points of reluctance on the road.However, the old and young people of Chigu City are quite nostalgic for the Queen Mother, whether it is the Wusun people or the Han people, they all gathered outside the city, kneeling down to relieve their worries, and tens of thousands of people shouted the same word in unison, one after another."
Mother.""
Mother!"
Just like the night when Xie Wei called himself the Empress Dowager Wusun, it was just that most of the Wusun people were forced by the fear and awe of the Han sabers at the beginning, but now they are mostly loved.The Han people who stayed in Chigu Castle could understand and relieve their worries, but the Wusun people preferred that she stay.The carriage was blocked and could not leave, so Xie Wei could only get up from the carriage and bow to her subjects."
I have been the wife of Kunmi for thirty years.""
I have also been the mother of Wusun for ten years.""
But today, I just want to be my daughter and the princess of the Han Dynasty!""
I want to go home!"
The black-haired princess who was curious to watch with the Wusun people back then is now a white old woman who is nearly sixty years old.The Wusun people were silent, slowly got out of the way, and wept as they watched the carriage go farther and farther."
My family marries me to the heavens, and I trust the king of Wusun in a foreign country.The dome is a room, a wall is felt, and meat is used as food, and cheese is used as a pulp.I am willing to return to my hometown for Huang Huxi!
”Qin Pipa's voice came from the horse on the side of the car, but the music was no longer sad, it was Yaoguang playing, especially the last sentence, full of the sound of gold and iron, high-spirited, and the tail sound was really like a yellow bird screaming into the sky!"
I am willing to return to my hometown for Huang Huxi" to relieve her worries and caress the tablet in her arms that has accompanied her for 40 years, the hard-working sister who has never met, and said softly: "Sister Xijun, you and I will turn into Yellow Birds, spread our wings and fly high, and go home!"
