Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 584 Da Yuezhi and the Five Great Xihous
But no matter what the situation is, this attitude makes Yuan Yao unhappy.

When the emperor of the Dazhong Empire arrived, it was fine if he didn't kneel down to greet him, he should show his face and say hello.

If he encountered such a situation when he invaded Wusun Kingdom, Yuan Yao would immediately raise his sword and kill him without saying a word.

Yuan Yao gave Yang Wu a wink, and Yang Wu immediately stepped forward, pulled out his sword, and shouted angrily, "Turn around, or I'll kill you immediately!!"

The female slave trembled, turned around slowly, knelt down in front of Yuan Yao, and bowed reluctantly: "The daughter of the people pays homage to Emperor Dazhong!!"

"It turned out to be her!!..." Yuan Yao was taken aback for a moment, this female slave was the one who moved his heart the most after meeting him for the first time.

Exquisite facial features, slightly sunken eye sockets are quite different from those of the Han people, but a pair of bright green eyes are more attractive under the sunken eyes, with red lips and white teeth, and the words are like jade, which makes Yuan Yao unable to get angry!
The light brown skin looks full of vitality, looks about the age, reveals a mature charm, but it feels like a fifteen-year-old girl who is about to bloom.

"You...you know Chinese?" Yuan Yao looked at the stunner in front of him in great surprise.

"In Lan's City, you can see Han people every day. What's wrong with knowing Chinese? Minutemen also know Parthian and Roman!!" The female slave curled her lips.

Yuan Yao was speechless. Indeed, due to its special geographical location, Lanshi City is a very important city on the Silk Road. Yes, this is the best place to replenish.

The Han people generally stop here and trade with Parthians (Persians) and Romans from the west, so there are the most merchants and slaves in Lanshi City, and the people living here know Chinese, Parthian and Roman languages, so There is nothing strange about it.

However, there was one detail that made Yuan Yao suspicious again.

Although the small kingdom where Lanshi City is located is one of the five major forces of the Great Yuezhi, it is different from the dominant Guishuang branch. The Guishuang faction unified the entire tribes of the Great Yuezhi and made the surrounding small kingdoms surrender. Established a powerful Guishuang Empire.

The Guishuang Empire borders the Congling Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains in the east, and faces the Dazhong Empire across the mountain.

The main vein of the Kunlun Mountains is in the territory of Dazhong Kingdom, but the remaining veins go westward and divide the Guishuang Empire into two parts, the north and the south. Because the Kunlun Mountains are covered with ice and snow all the year round, the remaining veins of the Guishuang Empire are called snow mountains by the locals.

Lan's City is located in the north of the Snow Mountain, the weather is cold and dry, and some places are still deserts.

The capital of the Guishuang Empire, Fulousha, is in the south of the snow-capped mountains. The weather is warm and the ice and snow melt quickly, so there is much more water than in the north, and the air is more humid.

But the Silk Road does not pass south of the snow-capped mountains. There are two main roads for silk from the east. One is the northernmost route, which is the route for Yuan Yao’s main force without crossing the mountains. The other is directly from Hezhou. Shache passed through the snow-covered Congling Mountains, meandering through the valleys among the mountains, and could directly reach Lanshi City.

Yuan Yao's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "But you are from the south of the snow mountain!!"

"What's wrong with the south of the snow-capped mountains? My family has been in business for generations, can't I learn more?" The female slave blinked her light green eyes, with a dissatisfied expression on her amazing face.

"Just now you called yourself a civilian girl, but now you say you are a businessman. Who are you?? What is your purpose of approaching me?" Yuan Yao's face turned cold.

Yang Wu on the side had a murderous look on his face. Hearing this, his face changed, "Huh?" Without waiting for Yuan Yao's order, he immediately lifted the sword in his hand and pointed it at the slave girl's throat.

Although Xia Houbo was expressionless, with a slight movement of his right hand, a flying knife was already held between his fingers. If there was something wrong with the scene, the flying knife would be shot out immediately!
"I, I, I am Sonam!! The daughter of Wei Sutipo, the Marquis of Gaofu City!!" The female slave screamed, and she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, her face paled.

Yuan Yao took a deep breath. Gaofu City was once the place where the founding emperor of the Guishuang Empire, Guishuang Xihouqiu, made his fortune. Although it is not the capital of the Guishuang Empire now, its importance is not much lower than the capital city, and it can guard Gaofu City One can imagine his status in the Guishuang Empire.

And this extremely glamorous slave girl in front of her, with hair like a waterfall and a pair of beautiful and extremely rare green pupils, has an amazing appearance, oh...!No, it's a young girl who claims to be the daughter of Wei Sutipo, Xihou of Gaofu City! ! ?
Although this has yet to be confirmed, Yuan Yao has basically confirmed that she is telling the truth! ! !

Xihou means leader, the leader of each tribe, and can also be called Xiaowang.

In the Qin Dynasty, the Dayue clan was an extremely powerful nomadic people in the northwest. They once controlled the Huns and made the Xiongnu tribe pay tribute every year. Later, the Huns defeated the Dayue clan, and the Dayue clan could only defeat the Serbs in the west. Lived on the territory of the Serbs, that is, the territory of the Wusun Kingdom in the Han Dynasty.

Later, the Xiongnu attacked the Da Yue clan again, and the Da Yue clan moved west again, to the west of Congling, and defeated the Great Xia Kingdom. The Da Yue clan settled here, because the geographical environment of the Great Xia Kingdom is different from that of the Northwest Prairie. In order to facilitate management, the Da Yuezhi divided the land and aborigines of the Daxia Kingdom into five tribes, each led by five Xihou (chieftains).

Of course, some Da Yuezhi moved southward and remained in the territory of the Han Dynasty. They were called Xiao Yuezhi, who later established Yuezhi State, and they were the ancestors of Yuan Yao's current minister, Zhiyue.

The five divisions of the Da Yuezhi developed separately on the basis of the original Daxia Kingdom. Later, Xihou (chieftain) Qiu of the Guishuang tribe unified the Da Yuezhi again, established the Guishuang Empire, and even once controlled Kangju and Daxia. Wan and other small kingdoms.

In the Guishuang Empire, it is called Guishuang, but the Han Dynasty has always called the Guishuang Empire by Da Yueshi.

"What! Don't you believe me?" Sonam was so wronged that she burst into tears.

It's not that Yuan Yao didn't believe it, but felt that it was incredible! ! !
This female slave turned out to be the daughter of one of the five great Xihous of the Dayue Clan? ? ?King Hupisaka II of the Guishuang Empire actually arranged for a daughter of Xihou to plot against him? ? ! ! !

This is either because women in the Guishuang Empire really have no status, to the point where even Xihou's daughter has no status, or this Hubisika II is too determined to put Yuan Yao to death! !

Yuan Yao would rather believe that it was the fact that women in the Guishuang Empire had no status, but deep down in his heart, Yuan Yao believed that King Hupisaka II wanted to kill him to the point where it could not be added! !
"I just occupied the city of the Lan clan, and I intend to include the people of the Da Yue clan who have always been in close contact with the Han people as part of the Han people. I'll collect some interest first, and after collecting the interest, I'll collect the head of Hupisaka II!!" A cold light flashed in Yuan Yao's eyes, and his eyes moved down from Sonam's face.
