Sheyan County was originally the northern border of Shangjun. During the Han Dynasty, it was a place where nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Qiang, Hu, and Han people lived together for a long time. It was about the Yulin area in later generations.

In February of the first year of Emperor Gaozu of Han (206 BC), Xiang Yu proclaimed himself king and appointed Qin surrendered general Dong Yi as King of Zhai, occupying Shangjun and calling him the Kingdom of Zhai. In the second year, Zhai surrendered to Han, and the Han Dynasty established Shangjun again. In the third year, the Right King of the Huns went south and occupied Shangjun and "old pass" (the Great Wall was built during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin).

In the second year of Yuanshuo (127 BC), Emperor Wu drove the Xiongnu in the north and recovered Hetao. He added counties and counties, and repeatedly moved the hungry people in Guandong to Longxi, Northland, Xihe, Shangjun and other places. He also placed the surrendered Xiongnu, Kucha and other people here, called them vassal states, and established vassal state commanders to supervise them.

In the fourth year of Taichu (101 BC), the Kucha State Privy Council was established, and Hongmen County was newly established, and Fushi County was reset.

The Han Dynasty still adhered to the old system. In the second year of Yongchu (108), the Southern Xiongnu rebelled. In the fifth year, the Han court ordered the Shangjun Prefecture from Fushi to Yaxian. The Fushi, Sheyan, Kucha and other counties were abolished. In the fourth year of Yongjian (129), the Shangjun Prefecture was moved back to Fushi. In the fifth year of Yonghe (140), the Southern Xiongnu joined forces with Qiang and Hu to attack Han again. He killed the commander of Shangjun, occupied Xihe, Shangjun and other places, and the Shangjun Prefecture moved south to Xiayang again. After that, the northern border of Shangjun was occupied by the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang and Hu for a long time, and all the counties established by the former Han Dynasty were abolished.

The old county of Sheyan was hung alone outside. There is Sheyanze next to it, which is open to Sheyanshui. The water and grass are abundant and suitable for grazing.

At this time, although the walls of the old city of Sheyan collapsed, the city walls still existed. They were camps for the Hu people to grazed. The types of Hu people were different. They were originally the Southern Xiongnu, but later occupied by the Qiang people for a long time, and now there are new owners moving in.

Since Liu Bei entered Chang'an Camp, Xi Zhicai, who has not appeared in public, has quietly arrived here.

In addition to a group of embroidered clothes, there were also a few strangers coming from Linxiang.

"Go and report quickly. Whether the lord's plan is successful or not is here." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

"Here." Several embroidered officials then rode their horses toward the city wall.

Hexi Corridor.

Losing the initial freshness, long journeys are always boring.

From the initial anxiety and anxiety, to the fact that everything is dull, the caravans began to calculate how much profit they could make on this journey and how much goods they could buy.

The caravans have entered from sunrise to sunset and rested at sunset these days. The orders are prohibited. There are many military styles, unlike a temporary piece of scattered team.

Especially the wealthy businessmen in Maoling, who knew the mountains, rivers, landforms, customs and customs along the way. They all rely on his guidance.

The accompanying merchants were grateful and suddenly realized. No wonder he was able to arrive in Dunhuang safely.

Seeing that the sun was far west, the wealthy merchants in Maoling led the caravan off the road and marched towards the valley beside him. The caravans turned and followed.

Following the old path hidden in the weeds, I drove into the valley. Sure enough, I found an old camp.

Although the camp was surrounded by weeds, the camp walls, towers, forts, etc., they were intact. After a closer look, I found that they were all big trees in the mountains, which was no wonder they were so strong.

Such a strong camp will take time and effort to build it. But I don’t know when and who built it.

There is also a mechanism lock on the fort door.

You need to know the correct steps to solve it.

This is not a problem for the wealthy businessman. The thick iron fortress door was unlocked in minutes, and the crowd pushed it open. The long-clogged camp was once again opened to the world.

This must be a military camp. Although all the military tents were demolished, the traces of pile pits, pots and other traces were vaguely visible. Wooden buildings such as stables, granaries, and forage yards are still there.

The caravans then set up camp in turn, logging wood to make fire, and burying pots to make rice.

Soon, smoke was curling.

After settling down, the merchants came to find the rich businessman. The rich businessman was guarding several caravans and pointing fingers.

Seeing the merchants watching from afar, the wealthy merchant waved his hand and signaled everyone to step forward.

The rich businessman smiled first and said, "I think you will be full of questions. But it's okay."

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them bowed and asked, "Where is this?"

"This is a military camp where border troops camped in front of the Han Dynasty."

"How do you know?"

"When I was young, I walked among the army. I once followed the army to and from the border, so I knew this place."

So that's it, everyone woke up one after another.

Another person asked, "Is it possible that the Duke also has an acquaintance among the Dunhuang defenders?"

"That's right." The rich businessman replied with a smile.

The merchants suddenly realized that they were satisfied and left.

The reason why everyone did not doubt that he was because the wealthy businessman moved to Maoling many years ago. There were many familiarity between the neighbors around the world. The children in the family also got married to each other. Such a friendship was tied to each other and blood was connected. How could they not believe it?

The wealthy businessman looked at everyone away, and suddenly a hint of apology appeared in his eyes. He disappeared immediately.

Seeing that there was no one everywhere, the rich businessman walked towards a carriage.

On the surface, this carriage is no different from the caravan. However, the garrison is not very strict.

The wealthy businessman also seemed cautious. After receiving the notice, he bowed into it.

Soon after, he bowed and retreated again.

Every time the caravan sets up, wealthy businessmen will enter this car. It has become a routine to do this every day. How can they hide it from the people with ulterior motives in the caravan?

Sheyan Old City.

From the rising and falling sunset, Xi Zhicai was sitting on his face without any waves, and the wind was light and clouds were light. The embroidered clothes on both sides were on guard. Several strangers wearing wolf-skin burqa were even more anxious.

The water and rice were not in the air for a day, and the sound of the belly sounded. Then he took the dry food and water bag in his hand, only eating and drinking without taking it.

Soon, the wine was filled with fragrance. Xi Zhi sniffed it, and then asked with a smile: "It's Linxiang Songquan Brew."

The man nodded and then gave the wine bag to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai reached out to take it, raised his head and took a big gulp.

"It's true that wine is good."

Seeing that he was so generous, the man also grinned and was about to speak. Suddenly, he heard the rumbling of footsteps outside the door. The door was pushed open vigorously. A group of fishy Hu people were smoking all over, and they were sweating profusely. They must have arrived here with a quick horse.

Seeing that Xi Zhicai and others' expressions remained unchanged, the leader of a magnificent Hu man asked in Hu language.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said nothing.

After a moment, the Hu people said in stiff Youzhou Han dialect: "Who is Linxiang Hou in front of him?"

Xi Zhicai then stood up and replied, "You are the dogs that are straying and hang down to death. The insects and flies are wrapped around the body and the smell is not heard. Why should I stain my lord's eyes?"

As soon as this sentence is expressed, you can imagine how tense the scene is.

Seeing that the embroidered clothes clasped the handle of the knife tightly, each of them looked indifferent, not avoiding life and death. The leader of the Hu people felt depressed, and then waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop the sound.

"Who are you?"

"The Han general assisted the Han Dynasty, the chief official of the Western Regions, the servant of the Marquis' Mansion, and the wife of the Linxiang Hou Mansion, and the virtuous person." A long string of official positions blurted out.

A circle of Hu people whispered and couldn't discuss the reason.

Probably a high-ranking official.

The leader of the Hu people asked, "Dare you ask Shangguan, how much does it cost a year?"

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "Add to the second gift of Chun La, it is only 800,000 yuan."

The sound of air sucking in the room means that the Hu people understand.

The leader gave the order. The Hu people lined up in sequence:

"Xianbei: Deer Jie, Tu Lai, Mo Hou, Di Dao, Bohan, Pilan, Migui, Tilun, Yuezhi, Douliuqi, Chidouhun, Daduo Kingdom, Yue Dajian, Puhun tribe, pay homage to Shangguan."

How do you say that sentence?
