(It's been a long time since everyone was waiting. My mother recovered well after the operation at the Long March Hospital! Updated again from today)

Time flies. More than 2,000 years ago, the Hu Shangcao Caravan, who was walking on the Silk Road, braved the huge danger of being robbed and killed, traveled through the vast desert wilderness of the Pamir Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, and Hexi.

For Western merchants who traveled thousands of miles to the East to seek wealth, the mysterious East was the place that attracted them the most. The abundant Qin State not only represented extremely powerful, but also represented endless rare treasures that made them salivate. After these treasures from the East were sold layer by layer on the Silk Road, they were hard to find in Western countries such as Rome.

It was in this context that Western caravans were endless on the Silk Road from Chang'an, from Hexi, the Western Regions, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the Pamir Mountains, and then to Wusun, Anxi, Sassans, and Rome. Among them, there were not only merchants from small countries in the Western Regions, but also white people from Anxi and even from Rome.

Yellow sand is rolling.

The sound of the huqi is desolate.

As we traveled west, we saw it became even more desolate. Even the oasis or two in the desert were just temporary camping sites with a few earth walls and dozens of tents. This situation gradually improved until we passed the Pamir Mountains and reached the Alahai River Basin.

Walking through the desolate desert and desert oasis is a life adventure for the Bank of China, who is just over 30 years old. There are always many differences between the civilizations of the East and the West. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for a foreigner to integrate into another civilization.

The Bank of China said that this time the fleeing west was extremely anxious, and the Huns were defeated on its entire line. The Bank of China said that it had the most clear understanding of the power of Qin, and counted all the tribes on the northern grasslands. He no longer thought that there was a tribe that could compete with the powerful Qin.

The thirty-six city-states on the road to the Western Regions are obviously not the target of the Bank of China. If he wants to escape or take revenge, he must escape further and travel far away to foreign countries to find another powerful and vast country.

rest in peace.

In world history, it is called Parthia, and in ancient Chinese documents, it is mostly called Anxue. The Hu merchants whom the Zhongxing said were following were the caravans from Anxue. The Anxue people were also called the "White Xiongnus". This is because the Central Plains are not familiar with the Hu people in the Western Regions. In fact, Anxue people and the Xiongnus are two different ethnic groups. They have no connection with each other.

The Absas came to Qin from afar, and the main trafficking of materials was blankets and Western artifacts. Due to the decline of the Persian dynasty, Absas gradually became an important country on the Silk Road in the Western Regions. Any materials transported from the Mediterranean area of ​​the Western Qin must go through Absas and then transferred to the Qin Dynasty.

The Silk Road, which exists in ancient documents, was actually formed by layers of caravans. There were almost no merchants who really ventured from Europe to Qin. They usually transported goods to the Mesopotamian Basin. Then they were transported to the Sakura by the Persians, and then transported to the East through the Sakura.

The resting king's capital Fandu City is located on the Caspian Sea. The yellow earthen walls, cows and horse manures that can be seen everywhere on the streets, and foreigners with golden curly hair and pale skin make the Bank of China feel a sense of loneliness and helplessness.

However, this completely different style of foreign countries, as well as the tall, rude and barbaric soldiers, also made the Zhongshuo, feel a little excited. Just like when he was in the Huns, Zhongshuo said that he secretly vowed to win the trust of the King of Furyapatius with his own words.

ten years.

In the blink of an eye.

For the people who finally hope for peace, peace is hard to come by. Although small-scale wars occur from the border between the south and the north, it is no longer a concern for the entire Qin State.

August in the 11th year of the Qin New Calendar.

Annan area.

The small-scale unrest caused by the rebel general of the South Vietnam Kingdom, Lu Tai, was finally quelled. The thousands of Lu Tai's troops gradually exhausted their vitality in the confrontation with the Annan tribe. Subsequently, Qin general Feng Xuan led his army to capture Annan City. Lu Tai died in the chaos, and the last remnants of the South Vietnam Kingdom disappeared.

In September, Feng Xuan's army continued to attack south. King Annan, Princess Annan, and other princess Annan were all captured. The Annan royal family was then escorted to Chang'an as a conservative. The Qin army's southward momentum finally arrived at the mouth of the Mekong River and stopped.

In the north.

The small-scale war between the Sujiao Cavalry and the Helian tribe in the Hanhai area also lasted for several years. In the end, under the pressure of the Qin army's comprehensive strength, the Helian tribe had to give up the Hannan River Basin and retreat to the vast primitive coniferous forest north of the North Sea.

After ten years of war, the New Qin forces under the leadership of Li Yuan not only unified the thirty-six counties of the First Emperor, but also expanded their sphere of influence to the Indochina Peninsula in the south, the northern desert in the north, the Liaodong Goryeo Peninsula in the east, and the Western Regions. Qin State has thus truly become an iconic power in the east of the Eurasian continent.

Chang'an.

The plateau meadows in the Leyouyuan area no longer exist. Instead, they are one emerging town after another. These small cities that exist in the capital are like the morning stars that protect satellites, providing fresh blood to Chang'an City continuously.

Among these small towns, Fufeng is a very important one.

Its importance is not only because it is located at the western end of Zhengguo Canal, but also because it has the Taibai Mountain, the highest peak of the Qinling Mountains in the south. This high mountain is covered with snow all year round. From a distance, it is very imposing. Among the mountains and ridges, there are many deep valleys and valleys with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, which are loved by some hermits.

On this day, Li Yuan, who had been in the position of the Emperor of the New Qin State for three years, came out of Chang'an and towards the depths of Taibai Mountain in Fufeng.

With the unification of Qin, the barrier of the Qinling Mountains, the Guanzhong, also became the sacred mountain of Qin, and Taibai Mountain became the place for the New Qin Tianshen Festival because of its steep and majestic main peak.

The people who sacrificed to heaven with Li Yuan were also several important officials in the court. What is incredible is that not only were the old dependents who followed Li Yuan to fight and started their own business, but also the former Han and former Chu people like Xiao He, Zhou Yin, and surrendered people.

It has been five years since Xiao He returned to Qin. In the first three years, his official position was only promoted from a county magistrate to a county prime minister. In the next two years, due to his outstanding political achievements, Xiao He was recommended to Chang'an. Now he has become a senior farmer in charge of the supply of grain and farming in the entire Qin State.

Zhou Yin's situation was not much different. This former Grand Marshal of the Western Chu State has now left the military and entered the court as an official to assist Prime Minister Chen Ping. This time, Li Yuan sacrificed to heaven, and Chen Ping could not come as the prime minister. Zhou Yin's task was to handle matters along the way and arrange the daily affairs of Li Yuan's carriage.
