It is estimated that Huangfu Xin has been doing business here for many years and equipped these people.
After some deliberation, Zhao Rui raised the King Yu Sword in his hand.
"Then the first order I give is to march into Rouran! Everyone starts packing up their families from now on. After taking me back from the Huns, they will march towards Rouran. Later, we will find a piece of land for you in Dashang.
settle down!"
Even if they have been passed down for several generations, these people are just machines to execute orders. After Zhao Rui issued the order, there was not even a voice of doubt at the scene, and they all responded with a yes.
Such a group of troops can act vigorously and resolutely, and execute orders and prohibitions. With them in hand, it will be more convenient to fight in all directions in the future.
After a few more explanations, Zhao Rui selected 800 people among them and went with him to the Western Regions.
When the Great Shang Dynasty was first established, the Western Regions were still connected. There were no Thirty-Six Kingdoms at that time, and only some tribal peoples lived on this land.
Later, the Great Shang gradually declined, and there were no more spare troops sent to the Western Regions to protect the people here.
They each armed themselves for self-protection, and eventually thirty-six small countries were gradually formed.
It is better to say that it is a country than it is a small independent city-state.
Each country is based on a slightly larger city and extends outwards. The largest country has a population of more than a hundred thousand and can barely scrape together 20,000 troops.
The minimum is only 10,000 people, and the maximum is a few hundred soldiers and horses, which still have to serve as the bodyguard of the king when necessary.
Zhao Rui rode on a camel, holding a map in his hand and carefully studying everything about the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Huangfu Xin kept talking beside him, talking about local folk customs and the situation of various countries.
More than half of the countries here actually hope that Dashang can re-send troops and establish a protective palace here.
Although the countries in the Western Region are now independent of each other, they are more careful with each other. They have to fight from time to time, and when they do, they are still in a state of no one to mediate.
In the end, all parties suffered heavy losses and gained nothing.
Sometimes the Xiongnu would go around the Tianshan Mountains from the north and take the opportunity to plunder the countries in the Western Regions.
Countries in the Western Regions have long been unable to live like this.
However, there is one country that does not want outsiders to interfere with the current situation in the Western Region.
They are the largest country in the Western Region, Wuhuan!
This country has a population of 150,000, and it also conquered the Dayuan Kingdom and the Dayuezhi Kingdom a long time ago.
As a result, the population soared to more than 200,000, and they also did business with the big food country in the west and bought a lot of Kunlun slaves.
These people are strong and strong, with rough skin and thick flesh. With a little arming, they can become an army.
So much so that when Wuhuan was at his most powerful, he could pull out an army of 100,000.
This also made Wuhuan's country take the initiative to unify the Western Regions.
Zhao Rui put away the map: "That means the most powerful country in the Western Region now is Wuhuan!"
Huangfu Xin nodded: "Yes, their country is powerful, and they have contacts with the Dashi Kingdom. There are many rare things among the royal family. Every time I come to the Western Regions, my first stop is to go to Wuhuan."
"That's right!" Tuoba Xue also echoed: "When I go to the Western Regions this time, I also want to go directly to Wuhuan for help."
Zhao Rui stretched.
"Well, I will also go to Wuhuan with you. I hope I can convince the leader of Wuhuan!"
