In mid-June, the climate in Juyan began to become unpredictable.

Maybe the last second was sunny, but the next moment was thunder and lightning, and the strong wind was howling.

There is no way, the tall and steep Junji Mountain is like an iron gate that intercepts the evaporated rainwater from Hexi and the Western Regions, making the rainfall in this area the highest in Hexi.

Especially in summer every year, the rainfall in Juyan area can even be comparable to that in Qichu area of ​​Neijun.

This is also the reason why Juyan is called "Juyanze" and becomes the lung of Hexi.

The abundant rainfall makes Juyan almost not have to worry about drought.

In summer, the military and civilians of Juyan only need to worry about one thing floods!

Just like now, the heavy rainstorms over the past few days have caused all the rivers in Juyan to soar.

Fortunately, before this, Zhang Yue had already directed the Juyan military and civilians to carry out large-scale water conservancy facilities construction.

Among them, it includes flood control dam reinforcement.

Taking advantage of the situation, based on the information of the past year, a low-lying land was selected in the basins of major rivers as an emergency flood discharge area.

The people in these areas were moved out in advance and the local swamp ecology was restored.

So, when heavy rains fell.

With Zhang Yue's order, the flood discharge gate in the flood discharge area opened.

A large number of floods were discharged from the dedicated flood discharge area, turning these low-lying areas directly into Zeguo, and through them, they were injected into Juyan Lakes and wetlands.

Therefore, in the storm, Juyan, who had often collapsed in previous years, was unharmed this time.

When the rain passed and the people went out again, they found that the millet seedlings planted in spring were still growing vigorously.

So I was cheerful and cheerful, singing and dancing.

When the heavy rain stopped, a mission from afar quietly arrived under the Black City Block.

Zhang Yue personally led the civil and military officials of Juyan to go out to greet him.

This mission was also strictly protected and escorted into Juyan's official office with cavalry.

Until he entered the official office, a person walked out of the strictly protected carriage. He smiled and looked at Zhang Yue, bowed with a Han ritual: "Wusun Xiao Kunmo, I have seen General Yang of the Great Han Eagle!" The visitor was Wusun Xiao Kunmo Nimi who had secretly arrived in Chang'an!

"Kun Moyan is so heavy!" Zhang Yue smiled and stepped forward, held his hand, and walked side by side into the quiet room inside the official office.

It has been prepared here, with spicy and mellow white wine, the freshest river freshness of the season, the right roasted beef, and the sweet-growing lamb in the mouth.

"Xiao Kun, please sit down..." Zhang Yue smiled and wanted to push the future monarch of Wusun Kingdom to the seat.

"It's still the general who came to the seat..." Ni Mi refused.

The two refused each other again and again. In the end, Zhang Yue had to take the seat of the chairman, while Ni Mi was respectful to accompany him.

"Little Kunmo is here, please try my new wine..." Zhang Yue waved his hand and asked someone to pour wine for Ni Mi and his followers. Then he raised the green porcelain cup in his hand and sent an invitation.

Seeing this, Ni Mi quickly raised his glass and picked up the wine glass, and he realized something was wrong.

First of all, the wine glass in my hand is as green as green, and the tentacles are smooth and cold, like treasures.

Furthermore, the wine in this cup is clear and transparent, without the turbidity of the horse milk wine or the rice wine I drank in the past.

After a slight taste, the hot taste penetrated his throat and immediately made his body warm. He couldn't help but moan and praised: "Good wine! Good wine!"

This white wine is mellow and spicy. Since its launch, even in Juyan, military generals and warriors like it, it is really difficult for ordinary merchants and scholars to accept this spicy wine.

In particular, it is easy to get ahead. In the past, the heroes of the winery who claimed to have never been poured and the alcohol test may not be able to survive for several rounds in front of this liquor.

However, the nobles who were vassal state commanders and the nobles of the Western Regions loved them very much.

Procurement in large quantities at all costs.

Even the Huns took the captured slaves, stolen gold and jewelry to Quli to exchange for wine.

Zhang Yue naturally intends to build this liquor into a new flagship product for export and foreign exchange earnings, so he will naturally not miss any opportunity to promote it.

Every time there are envoys and guests, they are welcomed with white wine.

Over time, Juyan liquor has also created some names.

Nowadays, nearly 100 stones of liquor are exported every month!

It seems that the numbers are very small, but they are valuable!

A stone of white wine will be sold for gold, or goods of equivalent value.

Now that Ni Mi is visiting, Zhang Yue will not give up this opportunity to promote and promote.

"Jun Mo just like it..." Zhang Yue introduced with a smile: "It's so that Kun Mo knows that this is the fine wine produced by my Juyan. It is the most mellow and long. Only a real man can taste the true meaning!"

Ni Mi couldn't help but taste it again, then nodded and said, "What the general said is very much! Only heroes can know the true meaning of such fine wine!"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he knew that the deal was stable.

From then on, another liquor VIP customer will be added.

Well, you read that right, Zhang Yue is now using liquor trading as a luxury goods.

It is sold only to nobles, so the price is extremely high.

By selling liquor in this way, Zhang Yue turned it all into liquor and stored it for future battlefield disinfection and treatment.

Ni Mi put down the wine glass in his hand and bowed to Zhang Yue: "General, the foreign minister is here to inquire about important matters. I wonder if you can answer truthfully?"

Zhang Yue smiled lightly and asked, "Did Kunmo come for the matter of Dayuan?"

Ni Mi nodded and said, "I can't hide it from the general!"

"Didn't I reply to your country's envoy when I was in front of me?" Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"Why should the general lie to me?" Ni Mi smiled: "With the strength of the Han Dynasty and the many heroes of the country, how could he watch the Huns annex the Dayuan?" He stood up, looked at Zhang Yue, and said solemnly: "Foreign ministers are unwilling to interfere in the matter between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, nor do they want to interfere..."

"But, the small country of Wusun is small and has few people, and it is really affected by the struggle between the two strong men..."

"I hope the general will observe it clearly!" As he said that, Ni Mi knelt heavily in front of Zhang Yue, bowed his head and bowed, and bowed again.

"Wusun has few people?" Zhang Yue laughed in his heart, feeling like he heard the biggest joke in the world.

Wusun is going to be a small country and a small country, so what is Kucha, Cheshi, Shache, and what is it?

Pocket Kingdom?

In fact, as a time traveler, Zhang Yue is very clear and familiar with the current international situation and situation.

Because he has a map that goes back to later generations!

Although the changes in ancient and modern times are huge, the Gobi Desert may have been an oasis in later generations, and the oasis grasslands today may have turned into deserts in later generations.

Two thousand years of weathering, river diverting and flooding have completely reshaped the geomorphology of many regions.

But the basic geography and geopolitical situation will not be changed easily.

By comparing the maps of later generations with the current maps, Zhang Yue could easily discover that in the continuous wars of the Han and the Huns.

The Wusun people quietly developed in the Yili River Valley area west of the coast.

Now, the Wusun people have completely occupied the entire Yili River Valley area.

Among them, it includes the famous Tex Valley Ranch, which was famous even in later generations. Then, using this as a springboard, it seized the Isek Lake Valley Basin, which is crucial throughout the northern foothills of the Palacio. Today, this lake valley is called the Fire Lake by the Wusun people.

It is this lake and valley ranch above the mountains that gave the Wusun people the foundation of the empire!

The reason is simple. Open the map and find Lake Isek and you will know where is this place? Kyrgyzstan in later generations!

In other words, the Wusun people have already stepped into Central Asia with one foot!

More importantly, the Huohu Lake Valley Basin is an area that can be seamlessly connected with the Turks Valley and the Ili River Valley.

Even the Qing officials in later generations were extremely stupid, they knew that they had to defend this place to the death in negotiations with Tsarist Russia, and even to pay more economic benefits, and they had to keep it. It was a pity that they could not resist their thighs in the end, and this area was not preserved in the end. It was the loss of this place that a huge security risk appeared in the northwest border in later generations.

Of course these are all off-topics, so let’s not talk about them for the time being.

For the current Wusun, as long as they occupy this place, all areas that extend westward to Central Asia will be controlled by Wusun.

More importantly, in this era, the Chu River is connected to Lake Isek, or will be connected in the rainy season.

This means that the Wusun people may follow the Chu River and enter the plump Chu River valley during the rainy season.

Moreover, although Lake Isek is a plateau saltwater lake, because of this, it allows it to regulate the plateau climate, so that this plateau lake valley basin will not be as cold and water-deficient as other plateaus.

Instead, it is a perfect place for livestock to spend the winter.

Even two thousand years later, Kyrgyz herders often come here to spend the winter.

Therefore, in fact, the current Wusun Kingdom only needs to seize a good opportunity and a good time to expand its empire territory and population.

Then, in the future, if a Xiongba is east of the Pamir Mountains, he will dominate the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and then move from the Ili River Valley to the Jingshishui River (Tarim River), it is completely conceivable to control the Western Regions.

Zhang Yue, who took all these things in his heart, knew that the Wusun man in front of him was just trying to fool him, wanting to lead the disaster to the east, and use his hand to restrain the Huns, so that Wusun could embezzle, erode, or even take all the land of Dayuan, thus dominating the entire Pamir Mountains?

but……

Zhang Yue's heart moved slightly, and he immediately laughed, and took the trick and said, "What Kun Mo said is indeed reasonable!"

"But, I will not hide it from Kunmo. Since the war last year, our country's treasury has been empty and we are unable to fight again. The edicts I received from me are just to protect the country and the people..."
To be continued...
