Western Region.
As the name suggests, the territory to the west of the Xia Dynasty is the Western Region.
This is the name decided by King Su.
As for what was in the Western Region, King Su didn't say anything and wanted to see it himself, so Luo Zhongkan came.
"Hexi Corridor!"
After more than a year of trekking, the group reached the border of Dunhuang in later generations. Luo Zhongkan turned his head and looked east. Of course, the name Hexi Corridor was directly spoken by Ji Zhao. He did not want the name to change.
The Western Regions, Hexi Corridor, Anxi, for Ji Zhao, these words carry special meanings, just like the song "Dream of the Hexi Corridor". Even now, he seems to still feel the wind blowing from there, from Anxi It passed by and blew all the way to Chang'an and Luoyang.
In the past life, someone on the Internet made fun of the Tang Dynasty. Anxi was thousands of miles away, and the border defense was in Fengxiang.
But this is an eternal pain for Ji Zhao. Anxi is thousands of miles away, and it should be thousands of miles away.
Ji Zhao had no interest in the internal disturbances, intrigues, and shamelessness of Zhuxia, but whether it was Anxi thousands of miles away or the vast seas, rivers, mountains, and trees, these were all he loved.
"From here we have completely entered the Western Region. It's time to pay tribute to King Su. King Su's glory will fall on this land. Every inch of darkness will be opened up by us, and every inch of land will be measured by us."
Luo Zhongkan knelt on the ground facing the east, and everyone followed him on the ground, bowing their heads and crossing their hands. The grand hymn resounded at the junction of the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions.
"The light of King Su shines in all directions, driving away the demons and monsters in the Western Region."
Everyone's faces were solemn.
"The spirit of King Su is in the sky, and the glory of Zhuxia will last for tens of thousands of years!"
Luo Zhongkan stood up, faced everyone, held up the map given by Ji Zhao, and said loudly: "King Su is with us."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became excited and they said in unison: "King Su is with us."
The sound shook all over the vast expanse of land. With the wind, it was unknown how far it spread. Luo Zhongkan turned around and carved on the big stone the time when his group came here, as well as some words in praise of the saint.
"My sons, let's go, we are entering the Western Region."
After doing all this, Luo Zhongkan turned over and mounted his horse. In addition to the horses, there were also a large number of camels in the team. Of course, when you go to the Western Regions, you have to do as the Romans do. Without the melodious camel bells, how can you be considered to have arrived in the Western Regions?
[Dear Master, your descendants set foot on the beautiful Western Region, and the map begins to record it. Every time your descendants copy a place, the map will be enriched, and all the actions of your descendants in the Western Region will be recorded as the final Settlement. 】
[The melodious song of the Western Regions, what kind of beautiful poems will burst out in this world?
Song of the Western Regions in progress]
Ji Zhao was a little curious. He couldn't remember the last time such a continuous mission occurred, and the description of this mission was very vague.
Very artistic!
Song of the Western Regions, a beautiful poem. If you look at these adjectives, you will know at a glance that the conditions for completing the task are very special and cannot be simply conquered by force.
In the world Ji Zhao lives in, the Western Regions are indeed very beautiful.
Especially in the Tang Dynasty, when this place was called Anxi, it was a Buddhist country thousands of miles away, with a culture of food, local culture, and the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
Thousands of people followed the Silk Road and gathered here from all directions. It was so brilliant that it left too many landscapes for future generations to appreciate and remember.
Ji Zhao once worked in the northwest. The endless Buddhist caves are really majestic to the extreme. The artistic value of them, even a person like Ji Zhao who doesn't understand much, can feel the weight of history contained in them.
"What about here?"
Ji Zhao silently cast his gaze on the Hexi Corridor and the vast Western Regions, "In this world, will the Western Regions still have such a prosperous culture?
Can this place still become a pearl of the World Island?
The center of the Silk Road! "
The moment Luo Zhongkan stepped into the Western Region, the map of the Western Region in the system became a little more real. "Go, go, measure every inch of the Western Region. This is the land that Zhu Xia cannot afford to lose." .”
Ji Zhao closed his eyes slightly and fell backwards. In an instant, countless petals flooded him.
At the moment of chanting the saint, Luo Zhongkan felt a sacred gaze looking at him. Although it was just a feeling, the gaze was full of love. His whole body was filled with warmth. Luo Zhongkan knew immediately that Su The king is watching him.
As expected, King Su really cared about the Western Regions. Luo Zhongkan could only feel his blood rising, and he wished he could go to the Western Regions immediately to make contributions and complete King Su's great cause.
Although there were only three hundred people in the group, they had a mighty momentum.
Everyone was walking on a large expanse of Gobi. Looking up and down in all directions, there was only the whistling wind, only the gravel on the ground, and the howling of wild wolves at night.
The brave warrior set up a bonfire and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, the land in the Western Region is indeed vast, but large tracts are covered with Gobi and there is no grass growing on it. Will anyone really survive here?"
Luo Zhongkan said in a deep voice: "It is very normal to have large areas of Gobi. King Su said that it is not suitable for farming, but except for food, you can get everything here. There is a river here, and there will be people there if there is a river, but they haven't arrived yet. "
Luo Zhongkan held the map in his hand. He roughly knew the terrain of this land. It was a mountain range that spanned the entire Western Region, the source of everything in the Western Region, the Tianshan Mountains!
It divided the Western Region into two parts, north and south, and what they were taking now was the southern region line.
What he didn't know was that the natural environment in the southern region was far less suitable for survival than in the northern region. There were few deserts in the north and the climate was also humid. Especially in the later Wusun Kingdom, that place could even be used for farming.
The Southern Region is much different. It is the Western Region in many people's minds, with vast expanses of desert and Gobi. At night, strong winds blow and the temperature instantly drops by many degrees.
The only good thing is that the water volume in the Western Region is still very high, and from the fantasy background, we know that this is not a completely realistic world. In order to strengthen the conflict in the game and focus on reflecting the magnificent culture of the Western Region, the production team also fine-tuned the parameters here. So there are more and bigger oases here.
Luo Zhongkan and others were trekking hard in the no-man's land. Fortunately, they had the guidance of the locals. Otherwise, even with the guidance of the map, they would have to pay the price of blood if they wanted to reach the final location.
Since ancient times, there have been no immortals in the development. Ji Zhao's cheating has reduced the difficulty, but this will still be a tragic song, and the blood of Nakahara Jiro will be sprinkled on this land.
The local guide said with a flattering smile: "Dear Sir, after climbing over these sand dunes, you can see the river in front of you. If you follow the river, you will reach Loulan Country, which is a very big country. "
Luo Zhongkan exhaled slightly. Even standing here, he could already smell the moisture brought by the water vapor. The dryness in the past few days made him feel like he had turned into dried human flesh.
As for the huge country mentioned by the guide, he simply ignored it. It was impossible to even think about it. The land here could not even be cultivated, and it was impossible to support too many people.
It is only a country with a population of 10,000 or 20,000 people at most, just like those small countries in the early Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid it is a city-state.
In the current Central Plains, it is just a county, or a small Chehou Kingdom.
"Loulan Country."
Luo Zhongkan laughed loudly and said: "My sons, here is the first country we encounter when we come to the Western Regions. Let's go and see how it compares to us in the Central Plains?"
The group of people was instantly filled with strength and rode their camels forward.
Luoling's attack on the Xiongnu changed many things, such as the fate of the countries in the Western Regions. After the rise of the Xiongnu, in addition to attacking the Han Dynasty, they also attacked the Western Regions.
Maodun's wish was to bring under his command all the leading people in the world.
Moreover, the Huns obtained technology from two sources, one was from the Central Plains, and the other was distant Central Asia. If they wanted to obtain technology and weapons from Central Asia, they had to control the Western Regions.
Therefore, the Huns have been plotting to seize the Western Regions. According to normal time periods, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains should have been ruled by the Huns long ago, and the Huns had an advantage in ruling the Western Regions.
However, a snowstorm caused heavy losses to the Xiongnu, and now they have recovered a little bit of their strength. Not to mention the countries south of the Tianshan Mountains, even the conquered countries north of the Tianshan Mountains have been freed from the control of the Xiongnu, and are now being re-conquered.
Under this situation, the arrival of Luo Zhongkan and others had a great impact on the Western Regions. The group rushed to the capital of Loulan before dark. The guide said a very difficult name, but Luo Zhongkan Call it Loulan City.
Anyway, no matter what it was called before, it will be renamed when Zhongyuan comes here. Luo Zhongkan thinks the name Loulan is very nice.
Since entering the Western Regions, Luo Zhongkan and others have changed into local costumes, and started to grow beards like the locals. With the appearance, it is basically impossible to tell that they are from the Western Regions. Moreover, in this part of the Western Regions, He looks different, and no one cares if he pretends to be a businessman.
Even if he is discovered, Luo Zhongkan is not afraid. The population of Loulan City does not exceed 15,000, and the maximum number of troops is 3,000. He has brought a total of 156 soldiers. Do you know what a hundred brave warriors can do? Gold content.
A hundred warriors in full armor could even defeat this so-called great country in the Western Regions in a head-on confrontation.
Moreover, Luo Zhongkan still has troubles. If it doesn't work, just call the elder brother. Luo Zhongkan's confidence is very sufficient.
————
Six thousand miles to the west of Chang'an, there is fertile soil, flowing rivers, and thick trees. The country of Loulan was founded in the Western Regions. It was a large country in the Western Regions with 5,400 households, a population of 28,000, and 7,000 soldiers. The appearance of its people was different from that of the Central Plains, and was not similar to that of Beidi. The men are ugly, but the women are quite beautiful, and there are few farmers in the country. This place is dangerous, and it is the only way through the Hexi Corridor to enter the Western Regions. If it cannot be overcome, the army will not be able to enter. ——"Journey to the West"
Please watch it again with "Dream of the Hexi Corridor". This land is so beautiful.
