"What do you know?" Li Ling scolded the ignorant Li Zhongxia: "How can you know the punishment of the Spring and Autumn Period and the punishment of poetry and books?" Other nobles of the Great Wei nodded one after another, looking deeply convinced.

Back then, the Xiongnu who moved westward divided their troops in Lanshi City, the capital of Yuezhi.

Those who followed Li Ling to continue the Western Expedition were basically his headquarters, his direct lineage, tribes with a higher degree of sinicization, or Western kingdoms that were afraid of being pursued by the Han Dynasty, such as Cheshi, Pulei countries.

Naturally, these people had a deep understanding and fear of the Han Dynasty that was at its peak.

That's why he was willing to follow Li Ling to the westward expedition.

And when they went west from Lanshi City and conquered Yan Cai, the situation began to undergo profound and complex changes.

First of all, they have been away from the threat of the Han army - even if the Han army set out from the Western Regions, it will take at least half a year to reach Yancai even if it is day and night.

Secondly, the combat effectiveness of the Anshu people west of Yancai is a little more powerful than that of Kangju and Dayuezhi people.

But it's just a little more powerful.

In general, in the eyes of these Huns who were resting in peace in the Western Expedition, they were weak!

Three hundred and thousands of riders, one thousand chase ten thousand.

This is the daily life of the Huns in peace.

The wealth and vastness of resting shocked and surprised these conquerors.

Three years ago, they captured the Rai region and occupied Khorasan, and obtained countless silver, gold and millions of slaves.

What is particularly important is that they also acquired tens of thousands of craftsmen.

These resting craftsmen are almost comparable to the craftsmen's skills of the Han Dynasty.

They can even forge exquisite weapons like the sabers of the Han Dynasty.

This made the Huns more powerful, and they immediately established a huge military production workshop in Rai.

In order to motivate these craftsmen and the native nobles of Rai, Li Ling and his subordinates had to adopt a policy of winning and assimilation.

As foreign conquers, the differences in cultural differences and customs make it difficult for them to gain the recognition of locals in a short period of time. The Rai region has a deeply rooted Zoroastrian cultural atmosphere.

Even the Parthians who had ruled them for hundreds of years and the Seleucids who had ruled them in the past could not be eliminated.

What's more, were the Huns who had no cultural heritage?

So Li Ling and his subordinates had to take out the previous Chinese policy, wipe the dust, and use it in the rule of the Rai region.

In the area of ​​Rai, he began to change customs and customs, using sabers and crossbows to force the local Persians to change their surnames and names.

Li, Wei, Zhang, Bai, Liu, Huo, Zheng, Zhao, became the new surnames of countless Rai people.

Then, the Huns began a massive destruction.

They destroyed one Zoroastrian temple after another, turned historical ancient cities into ashes, sent troops to throw all the cuneiform characters carved by the locals on clay plates into the fire.

They forced all the children of Persian nobles to learn Chinese characters.

But in this way, the Huns had to follow this.

And I had to do better than the Persians.

Therefore, the Chinese reforms that the three generations of the Xiongnu Shanyu did their best to complete even if they could do their best.

The rest tens of thousands of miles away from Langjuxu Mountain was completed at an extremely rapid speed.

Nowadays, Li Ling's divisions have basically used Chinese and Chinese characters in both writing and daily terms.

Of course, Li Ling and his subordinates would not call him this.

They called Chinese "Xia language", "Mandarin language" or "Wei language", and called Chinese characters "Xia characters", "Guo characters" and "Wei characters".

Therefore, the Sabre called Li Ling and his troops the "Xia Army" or the "Guo Army"

The people of Daqin copied the name of the Sakura people.

And without realizing it, for several years, Li Ling and the Hun nobles under his subordinates inevitably began to have the pride and arrogance of the conqueror.

Therefore, they unconsciously regard the culture and classics from their mortal enemies as Guibi in their subconscious.

And under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Li Ling, he gradually regarded himself as an expeditioner from China.

Especially those young people who grew up during the Western Expedition, they no longer had the hatred of their fathers and the Han Dynasty.

Instead, he believed that he was only part of the move westward after the failure of China's civil war.

Shoulder the mission of rebuilding China in a distant and foreign land.

These people, in turn, influenced the central nobles in power.

After all, conquerors also need ideas and beliefs to support themselves from degenerating, corruption, and to shape their own powerful and invincible image in front of the conquered people and countries.

So what better example than that mortal enemy of the past?

"China's strength and greatness are unimaginable!"

"The Han army is less than ten thousand, and if it is more than ten thousand, it will be invincible!"

"The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is even a great figure with three eyes, infinite power, and boundless divine power!"

"Do you know that even the great emperor was defeated by that prime minister?"

The nobles of the Great Wei Dynasty said everything and said it, Li Zhongxia, Li Quanzhong, Li Jinzhong and others were also frightened, and they became afraid and awe of the strange empire called "Han".

There is no way - Li Zhongxia's Bendu, Li Quanzhong's Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, and Li Jinzhong's Seleucid were all countries where the power of theocracy and royal power were combined.

It has a strong theocracy.

Especially Li Quanzhong's Egypt is a country based on Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology.

From their ancestors, in order to stabilize their rule, they began to marry in close relatives like the former pharaohs in Egypt.

Li Quanzhong’s queen is his real sister!

And his parents are also a sibling!

Listening to the Huns' discussions, how could these people dare not believe it?

Of course I believe it all!

"There is such a great and powerful country in the world?" Li Quanzhong murmured to himself: "That must be the great sun god, the kingdom on earth...but, is there such a great country?"

"Zeus..." Li Zhongxia also prayed: "Does such a country really exist?"

"How is it impossible?" Beside them, Wang Yuan stared at his eyes and shouted at these vassals with great rebellious words: "How can you know how great China is when you are barbarians?"

He pulled his body and woven robe made of silk: "This silk is made in China!"

"And in China, this kind of silk is just worn by ordinary people and farmers!"

"In China, all the soldiers guarding the gate in Chang'an are better than Bill!"

"And China's military power is invincible in the world!"

For these conquerors, since the Han Dynasty has been away and they need to rely on Han culture to rule and govern the country they have built. Of course, the best way is to blow the former mortal enemy the more powerful it is, the more fantastic it is, and the more conducive it is to their rule.

Wang Yuan, the former generals surrendered in the Han Dynasty, had a more realistic need - only by shaping Chinese culture and Chinese descent into the world's highest and unparalleled world-class noble culture and bloodline, can their status be stable.

The existence of the emperor Li Ling cleared away the obstacles they should have, because Li Ling was also a Han Chinese, and he also needed to deify his own bloodline to strengthen his own rule.

So in this way, the Xiongnu who moved west would consciously maintain the image of the mortal enemy tens of thousands of miles away.

Anyway, the Han Dynasty was tens of thousands of miles away from them.

It's impossible to get them anyway.

Of course there is no psychological exaggeration or exaggeration.

Wang Yuan's words and the silk on him completely shocked all the vassals.

Because silk is a treasure more precious than gold and rarer than silver in this Western world.

Before these conquerors arrived, even the royal family of Parthians might not have much silk.

Now they heard that at the end of the distant world, where the sun rises in the east, precious things like silk are just clothes worn by ordinary people.

And there, a small gatekeeper's life is better than those of the kings of a country.

It seemed a bit fantastic when I first heard it, but when I thought about it carefully, they had to admit that this might be true.

Because, they had learned from the words of the conquerors that they might have escaped from the failure of the infighting of that great country.

However, these losers, in just a few years, completely conquered the vast land from the Amu River to the Euphrates River with an invincible attitude, and now they surrounded the capital of the King of Kings and the Emperor of the Parthian Empire.

Even the Roman legion was in their hands and suffered a great loss.

But such a powerful and invincible conqueror is the loser of the Eastern country, and it is very likely that the exile who fled the winner in a mess with his tail.

On the other hand, they also contacted and learned about the words and culture brought by these conquerors.

The square font is more complex than the Greek letters and is more beautiful than the cuneiform text engraved on clay plates by the Persians.

Moreover, they also used and made materials called 'white paper' as a carrier for writing and recording text.

It also brings many advanced technologies and systems.

For example, in the Rai area, the conquerors established county systems and implemented centralization.
