Chapter 396 Searching for the Western Regions

"That's all."

Liu Fan nodded and agreed with Su Che's words.

When the Xianbei in the West was enfeoffed by Tanshihuai, they were powerful, with poor mountains and rivers, which were more difficult to survive than in the central and eastern regions. Therefore, the people were strong.

There are Changhe water plants in the south of Yanran Mountain, and the Anxi River waters are on both sides. Therefore, the Xianbei tribes are stationed in Longcheng, Zhuoxie Mountain, east, south and north of Zhuoxie Mountain.

"A great general, why not remove his wings and weaken his strength before the deduction of the Japanese rule has arrived. When the army arrives, make a concerted effort and fight to the death."

Zhou Cang bowed to Liu Fan and said.

"But, our ears and ears must be spread over a hundred miles. Whenever there is any movement, we will immediately report and make plans." Liu Fan said to Su Che: "Su Che, you personally led 500 cavalry to investigate in front of you, one is a scout, and the other is a vanguard. When you discover the Xianbei towns, you will notify the main force and advance to destroy them."

In recent years, the Cavalry Army's battle against foreign races has often been defeated in one battle, and does not give them a chance to attack again.

This time it was different. They no longer had a surprise attack, but fought a decisive battle with the remnants of the Xianbei tribe in the West. It is likely that there would be a stalemate such as running around the world and futility.

The area accumulated by the Xianbei in the West is too large and must be fully explored.

"promise."

Su Che bowed and took the order.

...

Jinhui Mountain (Altai Mountain) south.

Guan Yu went through a long journey, crossing mountains and ridges, looking for a gateway to the Western Regions.

The tribes unified by the Xianbei cannot be compared with the Hun Empire, and he does not have the ability to control this place.

When Qin Shihuang's empire was unified and occupied the "Henan land", he ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall north of Yinshan and drove all the Huns to the grassland north of Yinshan.

The originally scattered Xiongnu had to unite into a country because of the powerful threats of Qin. It can be said that it was the catalysis of Qin that led to the birth of the Xiongnu Empire.

The first Xiongnu Khan was Touman. Maodun, the son of Touman, was the most powerful Xiongnu when he was the Chanyu.

Maodun (mò.dú) was wise and brave. He destroyed the Donghu in the east, attacked the Yuezhi in the west, conquered Hunshuang in the north, conquered Hunshuang in the north, and established the Xiongnu Empire, which controlled the Great Wall in the north, reached the north and north, reached the north and north, and crossed the Liao River in the south, and crossed the Pamirs in the west.

The Huns were a true nomadic empire with a strict hierarchy.

From the kings and kings, they all eat meat, wear leather, and wear fur. The strong eat fat, the elderly eat the rest. They are strong and healthy, and they are inferior to the elderly and weak. When their father dies, their wives and their stepmothers; when their brothers die, they all take their wives and their wives.

The Western Regions were ruled by the Huns for a long time, and the language of the Huns had a great influence in the Western Regions.

After the Han Dynasty helped the countries in the Western Regions drive away the Huns, the Western Regions were influenced by the Han Dynasty in turn.

Of course, the Western Regions also have broad and narrow meanings. The Western Regions in a broad sense generally refer to the entire Central Asia.

In a narrow sense, the Western Regions refer to the scope east of the Pamir Mountains and the Han Dynasty's establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The princes and nobles of the Han Dynasty all recognized the Western Regions Protectorate.

All under the world is the king's land, and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers.

It’s not that the Han people have short-sighted vision, but that they look down on poor and barren lands.

Factors such as environment and climate determine that there is no suitable survival of the farming nation.

Yan and Zhao defeated the Huns, Meng Tian chased the Huns in the north, Wei and Huo defeated the Huns, and the iron cavalry traveled thousands of miles.

In the end, it was just to include the land of Henan, Hetao, and Hexi Corridor in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The rest of the land cannot be farmed, and it is useless to be wanted by the Han Dynasty.

In terms of ability to be versatile, few people in history can compare to the job superstar.

The means of using barbarians to control barbarians prevent the Han Dynasty from needing too many troops and horses.

In the case of political, economic and military decline in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first year of Yongchu no longer established a magistrate, and even without the establishment of a chief minister, the court could influence the Western Regions.

But there was a regret in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that was, it did not have a comprehensive control of the Western Regions and completely opened up the channel of the Silk Road.

The Northern Huns, who had been in a grudge against the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, after Dou Xian and Yanran took the stone, and in the second year of Yonghe, the Han Dynasty attacked twice in the first year of Yuanjia, completely drove the Northern Huns out of Jinhui Mountain and out of the Western Regions.

To say that the Han Dynasty really lost its influence on the Western Regions, it should be that in the third year of Yuanjia (153 AD), King Cheshi rebelled against the Han Dynasty. Before that, countries such as Yutian also killed Han envoys and declared that they did not accept the Han religion.

This reason was closely related to the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty towards the Western Regions.

The place where Guan Yu is located is two different days. The snow in the desert has stopped, and the heavy snow in the northern part of the Western Regions has stopped and fallen again.

The wind became tighter and the snow became heavier and heavier, and the weather became colder. Guan Yu buried his head, carried the big crow of the word "Han" and continued to move forward.

Guan Yu didn't know where the way to the Western Regions was, he only knew that there was only one way to the Western Regions south.

Wherever there are people, there is a car driver.

The geographical location of Cheshi was of great significance to the Han Dynasty. From the "Five Chashi" in the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, to the Eastern Han Dynasty entering the Western Regions, its importance can be seen.

In the north, it stands against the gates of the nomads in the grassland. It occupies the Cheshi so that the Hexi Corridor will not be exposed to the horses of the nomads in the grassland.

Cheshi connects Dunhuang in the southeast, Loulan in the south, Shanshan in the south, Yanqi in the west, Wusun in the northwest, and grasslands in the northeast, and straddles the key to the Silk Road. It is located on the eastern edge of the Junggar Basin and struck the gap in the Tianshan Mountains.

In the second year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Wu (109 BC), the Han Dynasty general Zhao Ponu defeated Gushi and divided the original Gushi people into eight countries according to the geographical situation, Che (jū) the former country and Cheshi's rear country.

There are several small countries on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains: Beilu Former Kingdom, Beilu Former Kingdom, Puli Former Kingdom, Puli Former Kingdom, East Qimi Kingdom, and West Qimi Kingdom. It is known as the "Six Kingdoms in Shanbei".

These countries have small countries and few people, and some countries cannot even compare to the Great Han pavilion.

The population of countries in the Western Regions ranges from thousands to twenty or thirty thousand, and the least number of people is only a few hundred.

The violent north wind swept the snow and rushed towards Guan Yu. His face and hands were already numb, as if his bones were frozen. The flag was frozen and cracked. The war horses were so cold that they dared not neigh, so they could only lift the heavy horse's hooves and step on the thick snow and move forward with difficulty.

The horse swayed, and this was his last horse. One of the two horses died in a trap, and the other died in the wild because of fatigue, bitterness, coldness, and hunger.

Along the way, Guan Yu really couldn't find anything to feed the horses. Even he could only rely on snow to maintain it. There was no food on the horses he snatched.

Guan Yu kept walking along a river. He thought he could find people along the river, but he got higher and higher, and Guan Yu knew that he had gone wrong again.

This river has no name, and was later called the Ulungu River, which means the place where clouds and fog rise. It has a very high altitude and is not suitable for people to live in this era.

Guan Yu turned around and continued to look for a way out.

Another day later, the horse he had stepped down was no longer powerless and fell to the ground with a bang.

Guan Yu covered his eyes with his arms and looked forward, but it was still deserted...
