Liu Zhang thought of Ye Long and appointed Ye Long as the leader of Cheshi's former kingdom, but he did not accept the title of king and Cheshi was demoted to a marquis state.
There are several advantages to appointing Ye Long. First, Ye Long is familiar with the car engineers and can easily take over the affairs of the car engineers. Secondly, everyone in the car engineers knows that Ye Long has tipped off, and the royal family of the car engineers has deep influence in the car engineers. This will help
If there is a confrontation within the driver's country, as long as there is civil strife, it will be easier to control.
Liu Zhang had mostly believed in Ye Long's defection, but even if Ye Long didn't really defect to him, he had to meet certain conditions if he wanted to betray him. The current title of the Cheshi Kingdom Leader was just a false title. In addition to managing taxes and a palace guard of 200 people, there was nothing.
any strength.
Even if Ye Long was up to no good, Liu Zhang believed that he would not be able to stir up trouble. The most important thing was that there was no one more suitable than Ye Long, a Han nationality, who could immediately accept his role as charioteer.
With the establishment of the Wuji Xiaowei Department, the influence of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions extended to the south of the Kongque River and directly to Qiemo. This influence was much more effective than the previous control of the Western Regions Protectorate. In addition to being unable to arbitrarily collect taxes and appoint people,
Managing the civil affairs of various countries is no different from territory.
If things continue like this, the Han people will surely be more and more assimilated to these countries through examinations.
Liu Zhang has already sent a horse to summon Chang'an to develop the black wood forest in Gaochang State and transport everything back to Chang'an. After Wu Tu Gu returns, he will immediately set up a high-end Tengjia workshop to produce large quantities of Tengjia.
After specifically instructing Dewey to guard the Blackwood Forest, Liu Zhang led his army south. Now that the influence of the Wuji School Wei Division has been extended, and the road ahead is smooth, Liu Zhang decided to go straight to Qiemo, cutting off the return route of the Shache Army, and waiting until the Bailongdui sandstorm
After the assembly is over, attack from both sides and Yarkand will be completely defeated.
…
To the southwest of Qiuci Kingdom and to the north of Jingjue Kingdom, there is a small jungle country called Xiang Kingdom. It first appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is recorded that a tree grows in the mountains of this country. The leaves have a charming fragrance after they are opened.
, can be used to make the most natural perfume for women.
But in fact, the country called Xiang does not have such leaves. Although it is a jungle country with dense trees, there are no leaves that can be sold. Perhaps it is because the Book of Mountains and Seas was written so long ago that the country originally called Xiang has this kind of spice.
No more now.
What Xiangguo depends on for survival is not the fragrant leaves. It is the jade mines in the mountains. Although it is very barren, there are indeed jade mines of Hotan jade here. The people of Xiangguo can only make a living by digging jade and selling it.
Chinese.
On the top of a hill near Xiangguo, a man and a woman who look like lovers are making love to each other.
"Bai Yu, do you think this leaf is the legendary leaf produced every year in our country?" The woman held a green leaf and said to the boy who was hugging her. The boy's name was Bai Yu.
The boy scratched the girl's nose and said, "Yes, this leaf must be from the legend. You should wear it on your body." The boy knew that it was not the case. The girl had just applied the collected essence on the leaves.
The girl smiled sweetly after hearing the boy's words. She put away the leaves. She liked to play this kind of game with her beloved.
The young man took out a pancake from his arms and handed it to the girl: "Panglan, eat it."
The girl pushed away, "You can eat. I'm not hungry."
In fact, the girl named Xianglan was very hungry, but she knew that the boy had not eaten anything. Before calling Xiangguo, she used Hetian jade to exchange for food. Although she was not rich, she could still have enough food and clothing.
However, due to the rise of Yarkand, Kucha was defeated, and the royal city of Kucha was massacred. Kucha's national power declined greatly, and the country of Xiang lost the object of exchange, and Hotan jade could not fill its stomach. Now it is becoming more and more difficult for the country of Xiang.
.
The food in the Kingdom of Xiang is getting less and less, and the king is already preparing to move the whole country. Although the Kingdom of Xiang is a small country, in terms of history, it may last longer than all other big countries in the Western Regions. He has to leave this place where his ancestors have lived for generations. The Kingdom of Xiang
People are reluctant to part with it.
Baiyu and Xianglan came to the top of the mountain for the last time to take a look at everything here. They will leave their hometown soon.
The girl Xianglan pushed the boy's hand away, thinking that the boy would insist on giving her food, and then she pushed it away. According to the normal order, the two of them would eat separately. Of course, Xianglan would be willing to eat a smaller piece.
However, Xianglan was surprised to find that Bai Yu did not push the pancake back, but held the pancake motionlessly, staring intently at the dense forest outside the mountain.
Xianglan looked around and was surprised. This place was inaccessible and it was difficult for passers-by to see anyone. But now, Xianglan actually saw countless people walking through the dense forest outside the mountain, and their figures kept flashing between the trees.
"There are so many people, my God." Xianglan covered her mouth involuntarily.
"Xianglan, hurry up and go back and tell the king." Bai Yu took Xianglan's hand and ran away. No matter whether these people came to destroy Xiangguo or not, it was right to ask the king to prepare first.
The boy and the girl had just ran down the mountain when a man emerged from the grass behind him. When he saw the white jade fragrant orchid, his expression changed and he immediately ran out of the mountain.
"Report to Your Highness, a man and a woman were found on the mountain. They may have discovered us." The sentry wearing a straw hat reported to a leading young man in his twenties.
The young man is Mi Tian, the third prince of the Wusun Kingdom. He leads 30,000 Wusun troops southward, hoping to compete with Yarkand for hegemony in the Western Region. He can single-handedly make the Wusun country truly rise and stop being a huge worm that can be ravaged by others.
"Map." Mitian said coldly, stretched out his hand, and a king's aura spread out. Where could there be the sickness that was widely reported outside? If it was someone who had seen Mitian in the hospital bed before, including King Wusun
Inside, I'm afraid I can't believe that this is my son who is about to die.
A general respectfully presented the map and added: "Your Highness, there is only a small jungle country near here called Xiang Country."
The general's respect for Prince Mitian comes from the bottom of his heart. Wusun is a big country, and it is a big country with a long history. It was a nomadic people bordering the Han Dynasty a long time ago, and later migrated to the west of the Western Regions.
As a huge country with a solid foundation, even if the upper class is corrupt, there are still people with lofty ideals at the lower class. Seeing countless small countries around them riding on Wusun's head, these people are angry and hateful, and they are extremely eager to avenge their shame, and are extremely eager for Wusun to find him.
Return to dignity and become a truly great country.
And Prince Mitian satisfied their desire.
Starting from his teenage years, Mi Tian pretended to be ill, and through the royal doctor, he used the money for treatment to recruit and train a powerful army from the private sector.
Almost all the soldiers of this army are passionate about serving the country. Under directional training, their lives have been decided to dedicate their lives to the rise of Wusun. With such support of righteousness, this army is already
Strong army.
The officers and soldiers of this army all have deep respect for Prince Mitian who has great ambitions and endures humiliation.
"Pursue." Prince Mitian glanced at the map and immediately ordered. A large number of soldiers immediately rushed out and chased in the direction of Xianglan and Baiyu. Mitian then led the army up the mountain.
"They are chasing me, Xianglan, run quickly."
Bai Yu took Xianglan's hand and tried to escape, but the bow and arrow from behind had already been shot, and it passed by Bai Yu far away. Bai Yu knew that he couldn't run away, so he pulled out a dagger and said to Xianglan: "Xianglan
Go back quickly and tell the king that I will stop them."
"No, I want to go with you."
"obedient."
Xianglan looked at Bai Yu's firm eyes and knew what Bai Yu was thinking. With so many troops, the two of them must inform the king, otherwise Xiang Kingdom would be destroyed without even knowing what happened.
Xianglan felt pain in her heart, but she understood her lover's intention. She took one last look at Bai Yu and ran out with tears in her eyes.
The Wusun soldiers had already caught up. Bai Yu came forward with a dagger and stabbed a Wusun soldier to death. His body was immediately penetrated by Wusun's spear and the dagger fell. Bai Yu turned around and looked in the direction where Xianglan left and closed his eyes.
"Prince, one of them ran away."
A Wusun general on the top of the mountain saw Xianglan running away, and he probably couldn't catch up. He said to Prince Mitian, and another general said with a fierce look on his face: "Kill him immediately, and the Xiang Kingdom will be completely destroyed."
Since Wusun's army went south, they have been walking along the border of Qiuci. The Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, and the country's borders are even sparsely populated. However, Wusun's army has been discovered twice. Once Wusun destroyed a small country, and once Wusun destroyed a small country.
Not a single person in the walled city was spared.
Called Xiangguo is about to become the third.
"Since we are going to report the news, there is no need to call the country Xiang. However." Mi Tian's eyes were slightly closed, showing murderous intent: "Although I don't know the terrain of the country called Xiang, but to the south of the country called Xiang, the mountains are getting lower and lower.
There must be a way out from the mountain pass. If we attack from here, someone in Xiang Kingdom will definitely escape.
To be sure, General Bone Che, you immediately lead two thousand men to march five miles south, then turn west and make sure to cut off the mountain pass."
"Yes." The bone chariot answered the order loudly, turned around and ordered his troops to leave. All the generals looked at Mitian with admiration. This prince not only had great ambitions, but also had both martial arts and a careful mind. Following such a prince, Wusun not only rose up but also
I hope that people like myself will also make great achievements and become the heroes of Wusun Zhongxing.
"The rest of the people, follow me to surround the country called Xiang. No one will be left behind."
"yes."
The Wusun soldiers rushed towards Xianglan's escape direction, trampling on Bai Yu's corpse. A building that looked like a cottage appeared in front of them, and the Wusun soldiers rushed forward.
The country called Xiang is just a country with a population of a few hundred, which is equivalent to a village at most. It is the opponent of Wusun soldiers. After Xianglan reported it, the king was shocked and organized the people to evacuate.
Wusun soldiers rushed into the village of Xiangguo, killing them regardless of men, women, old or young. Rivers of blood flowed from Xiangguo immediately, and screams of misery could be heard one after another.
The king led some of his countrymen to flee south. He thought he could escape, but when he came out of the woods, he saw thousands of soldiers guarding the mountain pass ahead. The king was shocked and turned pale.
The Wusun soldiers from the rear had already come, and the two sides were encircled. The citizens of the Xiang Kingdom had no way out, and they were all strangled. A small jungle country with a long history was declared to disappear in an hour.
