A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 338: Will the world be like this when I come?Then I'm not here in vain!

In Dunhuang City, Wang Zhuo's caravan entered the city smoothly, especially after learning that they came from Dagan who defeated the Huns, they were in awe of them.

At this time, Dunhuang was not the Buddhist holy land in the future. The people living here were the Yueshi people.

Coming out of the Hexi Corridor, Dunhuang City makes everyone feel a completely different style from Daqian.A city here is a country.

The population of the entire Dunhuang city does not exceed 3, just like those small countries in the early days of the Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that the environment of the small country that was enfeoffed by He Bangzhou is better. Now the population of any county in Daqian is larger than that of Dunhuang.

What is amazing about Dunhuang is that there are thousands of miles of yellow sand outside the city, but the city is lined with green trees.The entire Dunhuang city is built in a large oasis.

This surprised everyone who saw the desert for the first time.

Wang Zhuo filled in the map of all the way westward, and after seeing the corridor-like passage on the map, he said: "The land of Dunhuang is connected to the Hexi Corridor, guarding the chokepoint!"

After three months of arduous journey, the group passed through the Hexi Corridor and completely recorded the map of the Hexi Corridor.They are well aware of the importance of this Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions carry special significance to Zijue.The camel bells fluttering in the wind seemed to ring in my ears again.

In previous lives, whether it was the powerful Han Dynasty or the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the safety of the Western Regions always depended on the Hexi Corridor. Historically, the Central Plains court lost the Western Regions because the Hexi Corridor was blocked.

The vast territory of the Western Region is a place that the Central Plains cannot give up, and not an inch of the vast territory of Anxi is redundant.Suiye City and Tangnu Wulianghai are the eternal pain in the hearts of Chinese people.

Li Bai never imagined that he would become a foreigner in future generations.

Now that the Xia are in the hands of his descendants, perhaps Daqian will perish, but the territory of these thousands of miles must be intact.Before Zi Jue came here, he couldn't control what happened to the world. Now that he's here, if the world still develops like this, isn't he here in vain?

Zijue's eyes fell on Wang Zhuo. In order for him to explore the Western Region, Zijue had given him a lot of blessings. He spent [-] luck points to buy the [Pioneer] template from the system store.

[Pioneer: Special template. During the pioneering period, climate adaptation +20, language proficiency +20, danger perception +20, force value +20, military strategy +5, and hero luck.Note: All blessings must be effective when developing new maps. 】

[Heroes are lucky: When things come and go, heaven and earth all work together, but heroes are not free when things go.When you are developing, your luck is improved. Even in a crisis, you can seize the opportunity when you have a flash of inspiration and turn things around.When the development is over, luck disappears. 】

Zi Jue was relieved to let Wang's son explore the Western Region because of the pioneer template. This template was like a weakened version of the protagonist template.Coupled with the team of 400 people, they were completely walking sideways in places like the Western Region where there were many small countries.

Dunhuang, as the starting point of the Western Regions, has rich water and grass, large tracts of oases, and civilization and technology from Central Asia. However, because it is a small country with few people, it has always been oppressed by the Huns.

The Western Regions are also an important place for the Huns to obtain supplies. These small countries in the Western Regions have always lived in the shadow of the Huns.

It is also now that the Huns have been defeated by Daqian one after another, and their strength has weakened. Some small countries in the Western Region have broken away from the control of the Huns.

The city wall of Dunhuang is about five meters high. It is made of mud, wood and stones. It looks gray. Outside the city is a large oasis, and further away are undulating sand dunes.

Not to mention compared with Luoyang, even a county in the Central Plains is more prosperous than this one.

After traveling through mountains and rivers for several months and traveling thousands of miles westward, they finally arrived at a gathering place, which made the entire team very excited.After all, eating and sleeping in the open air along the way is really intolerable to most people.The Habayashi Guards were fine, as they had strict discipline after all, but the same could not be said for the other people who were drawn from various places.

After arriving in Dunhuang, Wang Zhuoli assigned tasks to everyone, asking them to collect various intelligence and contact the locals.

Wang Zhuo came to the Western Regions this time to open up the Western Regions, collect information about the Western Regions, draw a map of the Western Regions, and prepare a front for the Central Plains to march into the Western Regions.So every time I go, I will collect the information here in detail.

Wang Zhuo clearly felt that his ancestor valued this Western Region very much. Just after he took over the task of opening up the Western Region, he felt that he had received the blessing from his ancestor.

The common language in the Western Regions is Xiongnu, and each country also has its own language. After Wang Zhuo came here, he began to learn the local language. In just two or three days, he was able to communicate with the locals.

And the goods they brought from the Central Plains were also sought after by the locals.

It took Wang Zhuo half a month to collect almost all the information about Dunhuang, and he also replaced the horses in the convoy with camels.

Compared to horses, camels are more adaptable to the environment here.

After figuring out the situation in Dunhuang, Wang Zhuo found that the area of ​​Dunhuang was larger than he imagined. The rain in this era was much more abundant than in later generations, and the area of ​​the desert was also smaller. Just like the Mu Us Desert, it was still a land of water plants in this era. Hundreds of thousands of people live in the lush grassland and green space.

The same is true for Dunhuang. There are a large number of oases in this desert, so the locals also call it Shazhou, which means desert oasis.

Tens of thousands of people live around Dunhuang, and both camels and horses are bred. The horses here are extraordinary.Rich in gems and jade.

The exquisite lacquerware and silk brought by Wang Zhuo were very popular here, even the King of Dunhuang liked them very much.

However, after the Dunhuang king got rid of the Huns' slavery, he became a little arrogant and even asked Wang Zhuo to dedicate the goods he brought to him.

After hearing this, Wang Zhuo was furious, and then returned to the inn where he lived on the pretext that he had treasures to offer to the King of Dunhuang. Then he gathered the Yulin Guards and took the opportunity to launch a charge.

How could the soldiers of the Dunhuang Kingdom be the opponents of Daqian Yulin?Easily killed, the group broke through the Dunhuang King's palace.Then he beheaded the King of Dunhuang in the main hall, which made the barbarians tremble with fear.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos in the Dunhuang Kingdom and the various disciples fighting for the throne, they packed up and took away all the Dunhuang Kingdom's information, maps, household registrations, taxes, and books, and even swept away the treasures of the Dunhuang Kingdom.

You robbed me of my things and caused me great mental trauma. Those things should not be considered excessive as mental damages.

Of course, after taking the things, he accidentally knocked over an oil lamp. Dunhuang Kingdom should not be so stingy.

It's just that everyone looked up to the Dayue people and pursued them closely for this matter. The master's family did not welcome him, so Wang Zhuo had to take the people away and kill the chasing Dayue people.

Three thousand miles to the west from Chang'an, the vast sea is vast, with oases dotted here and there, thick trees, and abundant water and grass. The Yuezhi founded their country and called it Dunhuang. It became a large country in the Western Regions with [-] households, [-] Dingkou, and [-] soldiers. The people in China are very different from those in the Central Plains. They have deep eyes and high noses. The men are ugly but the women are beautiful. The country is nomadic and farming. There is a Crescent Spring outside the city. The water is clear and does not dry up all year round. Although there are thousands of miles of yellow sand, the spring water is beautiful and camels live here. , is the first scenery outside the Great Wall.

It is the necessary place for the Hexi Corridor to enter the Western Region, and the first city out of the Hexi Corridor in the west. ——"The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"
