Chapter 653: God Stick Sima Ji
Although that happened a long time ago, when facing Sima Ji, who surrendered the Xianbei, Qiu Lu did not dare to be disrespectful. Today is different from the past. The Wusun, who had 100,000 troops at that time, was no longer important among the Han Dynasty and the Huns. Today's Wusun can of course be king and dominate the Western Regions, but in the eyes of the Jin Dynasty, there is no big difference between Wusun and these small countries in the Western Regions.
"I don't know if there is a big country in the West of Wusun and how is its cultural heritage?" Sima Ji was probably sure that the west of Wusun was already in Persia's influence. In fact, strictly speaking, Wusun is also within this range.
There were no such obvious boundaries in ancient countries. It was not that the Central Plains dynasty in East Asia dominated the world. It was normal that the places where countries gathered together influenced each other. However, Qiu Lu also reacted quickly and said that he knew this country, "This country has a vast territory and a prosperous civilization. Its country has a million armors, which is not comparable to Wusun."
Sima Ji raised his eyebrows. He didn't know if there was any praise for what Qiu Lu said. The territory was vast and civilization was prosperous. Sima Ji believed that he did not think that the Central Plains were leading the world for hundreds or thousands of years, and it was normal to have a civilization of the same level. But this is a million-armored? The proportion of population and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty was already strong enough. He didn't know how many people there were in Persia now, but it was definitely a smaller population than the Jin Dynasty. The only place where it could compete with East Asia was South Asia.
Of course, Persia is not comparable to Wusun. Is it better to say that? But if it is true, Sima Ji thinks it is a good thing, and it is probably similar to the Tuoba clan's tens of thousands of string control men, and it is useless at all. I am afraid that this million-armed armor is really claimed to be, and there are actually not so many people.
"How is the Kushan country now?" Sima Ji touched his white jade ring and asked again.
"The Kushan also faced the pressure of Persia. The country's power had already declined, but it was still stronger than Wusun." Qiu Lu spoke carefully, and after saying a few words, he realized that the purpose of the King of Yan's inquiry was impure, and it seemed that there was an ulterior motive. He had been to Luoyang, so of course he knew how far Luoyang was from the Western Regions.
A few years ago, I also knew that this huge Eastern Empire had fallen into internal strife, but it was not long before I heard that it had returned to stability. The court officials were controlled by a vassal king. Of course, Sima Ji's infamous reputation also spread along the Silk Road to Wusun. This reputation has no effect on the people, and it would be nice for the people to know who their king is.
Sima Ji's bad reputation is limited to the hearing and witness of these real people in power in these small countries, of course this is enough.
"Where are there people in the Wusun country who are in the same Persian language?" Sima Ji thought for a long time and directly made a request to Qiu Lu. Of course, he had already prepared to deal with the language problem, but compared with the prepared soldiers, the number of translators was still insufficient. But with the geographical location of Wusun, he believed that there must be a group of Persian language in Wusun country.
It is normal for different language groups in the Western Regions countries to exist. You should know that there is also within the Jin Dynasty, not to mention that the Western Regions, the hub between the East and West, Qiu Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, if the King of Yan needs it, Qiu Lu is willing to help the country."
Now he has seen that the winner of the civil war of the Great Jin Empire must have bad intentions when he came to the Western Regions this time. He even wanted to conquer, but the goal of simply not being Wusun, but Persia, the more powerful West.
As for what happened, Qiu Lu never thought that he would be grateful if he ignored the two elephants in a fight. As a small country, he should avoid it from afar.
Sima Ji did not expect that Qiu Lu had such political awareness. It seemed that it was not without effect around Sima Yan. He would not be polite if the other party was so well-informed. In fact, Sima Ji had never been polite, and said that he was indeed very interested in Persia. This was actually for cultural exchanges and commercial trade between the East and the West. However, because he was not familiar with the situation of Persia and was observant, he was stunned for some troops to prevent accidents.
"Xiao Wang naturally believes in the statement of King Yan, and it is indeed a must-have to guard against others." Qiu Lu pulled out a very far-fetched smile and agreed against his conscience. "Xiao Wang is very honored to enhance exchanges between the two major powers. Such a grand act can actually make Xiao Wang see it. Xiao Wang is willing to cooperate with King Yan and get this done through Wusun."
Even if it is a false way to attack Guo, it is easy for Sima Ji to do his current troops. Sima Ji knew this very well, and Qiu Lu knew it well. Now he can only hope that the King of Yan is indeed an open and honest person, and he really just takes the Tao.
Of course, Sima Ji has never had anything to do with being open and honest, but he also has his own fault, that is, he is always interested in the existence of jumping and not reaching his knees. To a certain extent, it is indeed a protective color.
"Forty degrees? OK..." Sima Ji, holding a thermometer, didn't really find the climate of this era. It's much better than in later generations, like the records in ancient books. It should be sunburned like a dog.
In this case, it was obviously not appropriate to let the Dragon Que and Jin Wei go to war immediately. Sima Ji decided to stay in Gaochang for a month, and at the same time divided the troops and horses to station in various places. In front of a small country with only one city around, he showed his presence. He and Zhou Ji expressed his importance to the stability of the Western Regions in Gaochang and appeased a group of kings who were not as large as the county magistrates in the mainland.
But in my heart, Sima Ji was always paying attention to things outside the Western Regions, and never too much information was collected. Don’t care whether it was useful or not, and you didn’t have to focus on military affairs.
During this period, I sent a cavalry to sweep the Tianshan Mountains carefully. There is no travel notes that are better than real soldiers and horses. I found all kinds of farming, nomadic, barbaric, and simple tribes. Sima Ji might not do anything to these tribes, but he must know the existence of these tribes.
Of course, he didn't know whether the Xianbei cavalry led by Murong Han could be completely unsuccessful in this process. According to the normal state of this era, it can only be said that there may be, and there may not be. However, this is not related to the affairs of the King of Yan of the Great Jin, it was done by the Xianbei people. I, the Great Jin, never did such a thing.
"Do you know what this is?" Sima Ji took out the Golden Holy Fire Order that had been built for many years, and looked like a charlatan possessed. "This is a sacred object of the Zorocratic religion more than 800 years ago. It was a token that the Emperor of Darius exchanged to the Emperor of Zhou when the Emperor of Zhou and the ancient Persian emperors were in trade."
As soon as he saw that many ethnic groups really believed in the Zorocratic religion and understood the details of the Western Regions, Sima Ji took out the Golden Holy Fire Order that had been prepared long ago, and directly blinded the eyes of these little kings. His serious appearance directly gave others a very real feeling in his first impression.
"You have never seen it, it's normal. After all, you small countries will not have historical records at that time. This is recorded in the history books of my Great Jin Dynasty. If it weren't for being dug out from the ground, it would have been lost." Sima Ji lied without blushing and breathing. The historical books he mentioned were naturally bamboo books, and it doesn't matter if there is no record on it. You can add them. Sima Ji, the lie in forging history, is not unclear.
The actual controller of the Great Jin Empire, the owner of millions of soldiers and horses, and the King of Yan loved by tens of millions of people, held the Golden Holy Fire Order thousands of kilometers away from the Central Plains, vividly expressed the most powerful monarchs in the East and the West at that time, how they appreciate each other, their greatest wish was to meet each other in this life.
From time to time, he also said that it is normal for you not to know this, because after all, you do not have the fine traditions like me, Dajin. Of course, without such tradition, he naturally would not say anything about the matter that King Yan had made up.
"Did this be recorded in the Bamboo Book Anniversary?" Tang Qiang said suspiciously to Zhou Rong beside him. As a student of the Legalist, he had certainly read the Bamboo Book Anniversary of the Legalist-colored history books, so why can't he remember this? Could it be that the historical books that King Yan took out were deleted when he taught them?
"I don't know either!" Zhou Rong replied with no confidence. If you want to say that there is no such thing, right? King Yan is not as devoted as he is now. If you want to say yes, it is really the first time he has heard of it before today.
Whether there is or not, Tang Qiang and Zhou Rong didn’t know the answer, but looking at the reactions of some kings, it seemed that they had believed the words of King Yan, and they were like worshipping them.
"These religious people are really unreasonable." Tang Qiang whispered secretly, and Zhou Rongshen nodded with approval when he heard him. Even the physical objects from seven or eight hundred years ago have not yet emerged at all. They just couldn't figure out that these kings who were considered very high-ranking, and they even showed this style.
Materialists will never understand what this mentality is. Sima Ji can't understand these stupid idealists, but this does not delay his vivid and random composition.
"Actually, I shouldn't have taken it out, but I've seen your people quite believe in it, and it's not enough to take it out." Sima Ji seemed to have unfulfilled his wish to put away the golden fire order. "This thing is a witness to the friendship between the two monarchs. You can just take a look. It's too sacred sacred object that can only be better protected in the hands of my Great Jin."
"If the King of Yan doesn't say it, we will never know. It turns out that two great monarchs had already intersected a thousand years ago!" A gray-bearded king spoke excitedly, "The little king is really dead without regrets."
