A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 407 Broken Leaves (2)

Suiye City is located in the northeast of Dayuan Kingdom, south of Wusun Kingdom, and west of Ili River Valley, thousands of miles away from Tingzhou.

Although the distance was far away, the geographical location here was extremely important. When he learned that his father was going to divide the fourth and fifth brothers into northern Xinjiang, Wang Xiang planned to let his fourth or fifth brother go to Suiye City to establish a kingdom.

Suiye City has a mild climate and abundant water resources, allowing for farming.To the south is Shule. If we can occupy Suiye City, we can become horns with Shule.

Even if the Dawan Kingdom regained its strength, it would not dare to make the slightest move in the face of the suppression of Shulehe Suiye.Daqian can completely rely on Suiye and Shule to make Dawan obey orders honestly.

Of course, although Suiye and Shule are very close, they are blocked by the Tianshan Mountains and the Congling-Alai Mountains.

Just by looking at the names of these two mountain ranges, you can know how complex the terrain here is and how difficult it is to communicate between the two places.

If you want to connect Shule and Suiye, you must make great efforts to open a road in this mountain range.

The land of Suiye City has a relatively mild climate and abundant water resources. As a result, the surrounding miscellaneous people gather here. These people believe in different gods and have conflicts with each other.

This also caused the political environment in Suiye City to be complicated.

Of course, if the political environment had not been complicated, Wang Xiang would not have thought of crossing the mountains and driving thousands of miles to defeat Yecheng.

In the past few years, Wang Xiang and Wang Fu both sent caravans to Shule to inquire about the situation of Suiye.

Atami, also known as Lake Iksay in Kyrgyzstan in later generations, is a plateau lake known as the Pearl of God. It is located in the Tianshan Mountains. It is also the deepest plateau lake in the world.

The amount of water in the lake is eighteen times that of Qinghai Lake. Suiye City is not far from here, and around Atami, many nomadic tribes live and build cities here.

Of course, it is said that they are building cities, but in fact, the cities built by these bastards are not called cities at all in the eyes of Ganren. Including Suiye City, the walls of these cities are less than five meters high, and many are even only three meters long.

The city is mostly made of rocks and mud, which is not very solid. In addition to some houses made of earth and stone, there are also many tents.

In real history, the Central Plains court first took control of this place in the Han Dynasty. However, the Han Dynasty did not set up administrative agencies here, but was in a state of control.Even seriously speaking, the Western Region Protectorate is not very familiar with this place.

The one who really controlled this place was the Sheng Tang. After the Sheng Tang took control of the Western Regions, it established the Beiting Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions.The two governorates are divided by the Tianshan Mountains. The south of the Tianshan Mountains belongs to the Anxi Protectorate, and the north of the Tianshan Mountains belongs to the Beiting Protectorate.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty established four towns in Anxi in the Anxi Protectorate, and Suiye City was one of them. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Suiye City was built.Unfortunately, due to the weakening of the Tang Dynasty's national power and its inability to control Suiye, Suiye City was ceded.

I thought I would wait until my strength recovered before retaking it, but as a result, the Anshi Rebellion broke out and a large number of troops from the Western Regions were transferred back.Suiye City never returned to the hands of the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

So that in later generations, this city was no longer a Chinese city.

Wang Xiang and Wang Fu soon realized the importance of Suiye City, so they constantly sent caravans and spies to gather information.

At the same time, they also secretly prepared their weapons and prepared to take Suiye City into their hands.

The Huns in the Western Regions are different from the Huns. The Huns live in a bitter cold land and have a tough will and strong bodies. But what do you say about these Huns in the Western Regions?They actually prefer to have fun.Otherwise, the singing, dancing and various musical instruments here in the Western Regions would not be so developed.Let’s not talk about the quality of life of the people in various countries in the Western Region. The lives of each royal family are more comfortable than the other.

Moreover, this place in the Western Region is one of the few places in the world that has no shortage of sweets.

You must know that in Daqian now, the royal family has not realized the freedom of sweets. Of course, if Wang Jing is willing and does not hesitate to spend money, he can eat sweets every day. After all, Daqian has a vast territory. If he really wants to indulge in extravagance and enjoy it, he can eat sweets every day. No shortage either.

It's just that the Wang family advocates frugality, never extravagance and waste, and will not waste people and money just for the sake of food and drink.

But this place in the Western Region is different. There are simply too many sweet fruits here, and they can even be made into preserved fruits that can be enjoyed all year round.

Thanks to the unique natural conditions here, the temperature difference between day and night in the Western Regions is large, and the sweetness of fruits far exceeds that in the Central Plains. This also allows the royal families in the Western Regions to have the freedom to eat sweets in this era.

Also because of the prosperity of trade routes, all kinds of goods circulated in the Western Regions. It can be said that silk from the Central Plains, gems and spices from the West can all be enjoyed here.

Therefore, the Hu people here enjoy it more.

This is why the weapons and equipment of the Huns are not as good as those of the Huns in the Western Regions, but it is the Western Regions people who are often suppressed and exploited by the Huns.

Those expedition athletes and elite cavalrymen who came here from the Central Plains originally thought that they were going to suffer when they were sent to the Western Regions. However, after arriving here, they discovered that things were completely different from what they imagined.

The strength of the Hu people here in the Western Regions is far inferior to that of Daqian. It can be said that the soldiers of Daqian can easily win.Even the battle here, traveling is more difficult than fighting.

When these people came to the Western Region, they originally thought that the Western Region was a bitter and cold place, and even thought that they would not be able to adapt to the environment and die here. But when they came here, they found that they had fallen into a honey pot.

The Western Region is rich, with flocks of cattle and sheep, and countless fruits of all kinds. In addition, several princes are also very generous. As a result, these Daqian soldiers can have a meal of beef and mutton almost every day.

You must know that even when they were stationed in Luoyang, the sacred capital, these soldiers could only eat one meal of mutton every three days at most, forget about beef. Daqian farming cattle were precious and they were not allowed to be killed.

As for drinks, there are all kinds of wines from the Western Regions. Sweet wine can be said to be the favorite of Daqian soldiers when they come here.

Moreover, this place has been suppressed by the Xiongnu and has been turbulent for many years. There are more women than men, and Hu Ji's style is open. In addition, Daqian defeated the Huns and became famous in the Western Regions. Many Hu Ji envied Gan people and gathered around the military camp every day. There are countless people who flirt with each other and seduce them with their waists.

Many families even offered money to beg them for a moment in the Spring Festival, just to cross the species. Most of them are yellow-headed and green-eyed orchids, and all of them hope that their next generation will have black hair and black eyes.

After coming here, these dry people's life is simply paradise.Coupled with the rewards, these capable cavalry and expedition athletes are almost all married and established.

There are even people who have more than one wife.

Seriously speaking, whether you are an elite rider or an expedition athlete, your life in the Western Regions can be considered to be above average, and it is much more comfortable than in the Central Plains.
