Chapter 77 Arrival in Loulan
[Newcomers and new books please click, please bookmark, please recommend] Five days later, Hu Li and Zhuzi, who were non-stop, joined them through the marks left by the three hundred cavalry.Due to the cold weather and heavy snowfall from time to time, Hu Li and others walked and walked. After more than a month, they entered Dunhuang County through Bingzhou Beidi County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, and Jiuquan County, and then entered Guohuang County. After traveling for several days, we arrived at Yumen Pass in Dunhuang County.

Yumen Pass was first placed when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the roads in the Western Regions and established the four counties in Hexi.Yumen Pass is the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions, and Yang Pass, another important pass, is located in Longle County, Dunhuang County

Speaking of Yumen Pass, people will immediately think of a well-known Tang poem, which is Wang Zhihuan's "Liangzhou Ci", "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, an isolated city of Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass Yumen Pass."The tragic and desolate mood in the poem arouses our longing for this ancient fortress.

On the first day of March in 201 A.D., Hu Li and [-] cavalry, who had rested at Yumen Pass for a few days, continued westward and entered the Western Regions.During the four months since he set off from Jizhou, Hu Li came into contact with and systematically learned several different languages, and taught these languages ​​to [-] cavalry through the system.

The system can only teach one language to ten people a day, and after Foxy teaches some people, let others learn from each other.Due to the boring process of traveling, everyone is very enthusiastic about learning new languages. After a while, although not everyone can use these languages ​​proficiently, the simple communication with the locals is no problem at all. .

In Fox Li's vision, the Silk Road, which had been interrupted by successive years of wars, not only needed to be re-opened, but also needed to be maintained. The [-] cavalry who learned various languages ​​would be the absolute main force to maintain the Silk Road.

After entering March, the weather warmed up, and the journey of Hu Li and his party was much faster. After more than ten days, Hu Li and others arrived in Shanshan.The original name of Shanshan was Loulan. In the fourth year of Emperor Zhao Yuanfeng (77 BC), General Huo Guang sent Pingle Supervisor Fu Jiezi to Loulan to assassinate Angui. mud city.

The current king of Shanshan is Tonggeluojia. The people of Shanshan belong to the Indo-European race, that is, Caucasian, and their language is Tocharian, which belongs to the Indo-European language family.When Hu Li and his party came to Loulan City, the capital of Shanshan, all the Shanshan people they saw were light-skinned, with soft, wavy hair, deep eye sockets, relatively developed hair, low cheekbones, flat jawbones, and high nose bridges. The lips are thin, and the hair color is mainly divided into five major tones: white, gold, red, brown, and black.

Due to years of wars in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, few Han people came to Loulan City. People in Loulan City were very curious when they saw the yellowish skin and strange costumes of Hu Li and others, and pointed at Hu Li and others.Since Hu Li and his party were all dressed in fine armor, held sharp weapons, and accompanied by hundreds of horses, each of them carried the evil spirit of an iron-blooded soldier. Although the people of Loulan City were curious, they did not Who would dare to strike up a conversation, let alone trouble Hu Li and the others.

Hu Li listened to a few curious comments from Loulan City people, and the brows that were frowning at the beginning because he couldn't understand what they were talking about quickly relaxed. It seems that the new talent rewarded by the system has made Hu Li proficient. have mastered the language.Hu Li cupped his hands and bowed to an old man in front of him, and then said to the old man skillfully in the language of the people of Loulan City: "My surname is Hu Mingli, a Han Chinese. I came to the Western Regions to trade with other countries. I don't know if the old man knows where in the city Is there someone for us to rest?"

Hearing Hu Li's proficient pronunciation, the old man was stunned for a moment, then imitated Hu Li's way and bowed to Hu Li and said: "This general, there is an open space on the west side of Loulan City, which can be used for your camping. Resist the wind and sand."

After getting the answer he wanted, Fox Li smiled slightly, and handed the old man a small porcelain cup to express his gratitude.Looking at the exquisite porcelain cup, the old man smiled happily and thanked Fox repeatedly.Fox Li smiled and said to the surrounding people: "If you want to make a deal with us, you can find us in the west city tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Hu Li bowed his hands to the people around him, and led them to the west of the city.The reason why Fox gave the old man a piece of porcelain was because they brought a lot of such small and easy-to-carry porcelain, and it was no big deal to give one as a thank you.The second is because Hu ideally took this opportunity to advertise to the people around him, so as to carry out trade with the people of Loulan City and businessmen from other countries in the city.

Merchants are chasing profit, seeing Han Chinese porcelain reappear in Loulan City, which has seldom appeared in recent years, they will definitely come from everywhere after getting the news.At that time, Hu Li will be able to learn their language through his language talent, and at the same time ask them about the information of the countries in the Western Regions. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win all battles.

Hu Li brought a lot of small porcelain and silk on this trip. These two things are special products of the Han people, and I believe they will be very popular in the Western Regions.Of course, Hu Li did not come to the Western Regions to do business with merchants from various countries. He just wanted to leave a good and deep impression on the countries through trade, and then he could discuss with the kings of the countries about reopening the Silk Road. matter.

I believe that the countries in the Western Regions that have gained a lot of benefits from mutual trade will definitely agree to Hu Li's request. Of course, Hu Li will not naively think that this trip will be smooth sailing, so Hu Li brought three hundred sticks. Sharp elite cavalry.If someone wants to steal or buy or sell by force, Fox One doesn't mind giving them a little color.

It wasn't that Fox had thought of bringing more cavalry, but the journey to the Western Regions was too far away, and supply was always a big problem.Besides, Hu Li had to pass through Liangzhou on his way to the Western Regions. Hu Li didn't want to touch the sensitive nerves of the princes of Liangzhou because of the large-scale march.Besides, some small countries in the Western Regions only have a few thousand people. Foxy will only cause them panic if he brings too many queens, and regard them as invaders.

Although the [-] elite cavalry brought by Hu Li may be slightly insufficient in terms of attacking cities and land, they should still be more than enough for self-protection.Besides, there are very few trees in the Western Regions, and the golden eagle has a wide field of vision at high altitude. Through the vision of the golden eagle, Fox can completely control the movements within a radius of a hundred miles. Foxy will also spot people in advance and have plenty of time to avoid them.
