There is a vast vastness between heaven and earth.

On the rolling sand dunes, looking around, the endless sea of ​​sand is filled with layers of sand waves, continuous.

In the distance, a group of people slowly walked towards him.

"When we pass through the sand dunes in front, we will officially enter the Western Regions. The next section of the road is also the most dangerous. We must always pay attention to the Huns and everyone will cheer up."

A low voice came, and the man's face was somewhat familiar. It was Zhang Qian, the envoy of the Han Dynasty.

In the autumn of 123 BC, the fifteenth day of August just passed.

The Han Dynasty sent another envoy to visit the Western Regions.

This time, the Han Dynasty's official state visit to various countries was also shouldering the responsibility of persuading the Dayuezhi.

Zhang Qian, who set out from Chang'an, held his integrity and was extremely dignified.

Wear hair to make it look like bamboo joints.

On this mission, the court equipped Zhang Qian with a deputy, Deputy General Su Wu.

Yes, it is Su Wu who is grazing in the North Sea.

Su Wu stood beside Zhang Qian, his somewhat immature face revealing some tension.

However, his eyes were firm.

Behind the two, there were more than a hundred people.

The entourage, soldiers, recorders, doctors, investigators, translators, kids, etc. are going to go together.

The day after receiving the imperial edict, Su Wu's life trajectory also changed.

He had a good background. His father Su Jian Zeng Gong was granted the title of Marquis of Pingling and became the prefect of Dai County.

The Han system stipulates that any official with a position of 2,000 stone can recommend one son or brother to be a Langguan after three years of office. Although the position of Langguan is small, it is very important and can serve as a guard by the emperor. Therefore, any Langguan will have a great chance of becoming a success in the future.

Zhang Qian was also a man-in-law before.

Su Wu can be said to have won at the starting line. He and his elder brother Su Jia and younger brother Su Xian were recommended by their father and successfully entered the court as the court.

Su Wu's eyes flashed and he asked, "Horse Bo Wang, is there anything you need to pay attention to?"

His expression was respectful, just like a little fan.

Zhang Qian smiled, about to enter the enemy's territory, but his expression was leisurely, which looked very reassuring, and said, "I haven't used panic much. I have sent people to inquire about this journey in advance. There are not many Huns. As long as we are careful, we won't make too many mistakes."

Zhang Qian patted Su Wu on the shoulder to express comfort.

Su Wu looked at Zhang Qian with some gratitude and nodded.

Most people will hear some news more or less before promotion, but Su Wu has no idea that he will become the deputy general of the Central Army. After hearing the news, Su Wu was both surprised and happy and grateful, and secretly decided to complete the task well to repay the emperor's kindness.

"Speaking of this, I am still your senior, both of you, the emperor's husband. You can just call me Brother Zhang in the future, and there is no need to be restrained."

Su Wu smiled shyly, revealing a sense of youth.

"Bo...Brother Zhang, will Da Yuezhi form an alliance with Da Han this time?"

Zhang Qian shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"We went there this time, not just to form an alliance. What's more important is to establish good relations with the Western Region countries. The struggle between the Huns and the Han Dynasty will not be decided in a short time. However, I believe that one day the Han Dynasty will be able to get to the Hexi Corridor and will be able to communicate with the Western Regions at that time."

"The power of the Huns does not rely solely on their own strength. If there were no "blood transfusion" from the Western Regions, well, it was the word "blood transfusion", and I was still learning from the Dayuezhi, the Huns might have been weak for a long time."

"This time I'm going to lay a solid foundation."

"How to say blood transfusion... some... well." Su Wu showed a hint of awkward look and said, "Is it a noble friend you recognized in the Great Yuezhi?"

Su Wu also heard Zhang Qian talk about the big Yuezhi, and he knew a little about it.

Zhang Qian had a noble friend in the Great Yuezhi, and the two of them even formed Jinlan.

This made him feel a little irrelevant to think about it.

Zhang Qian laughed: "That's right, it's what he said. I recognize this little brother, it's not simple. I know a lot more than ours."

Zhang Qian paused for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "I tell you, he is his own person."

"Our own?" Su Wu didn't understand the meaning.

Could it be that the man who was planted in the Great Yuezhi? He shook his head and rejected this whimsical idea.

"Speaking of this, this is related to the First Emperor."

Zhang Qian raised his head and looked into the distance, with deep eyes.

"The First Emperor also sent people to explore the West, but it was not successful. Li Muzhi was the descendant of the old Qin people."

Su Wu widened his eyes and felt incredible.

Descendants of the Old Qin people?

This is a bit unimaginable.

He thought that the opening of the Western Regions was the first one of the Han dynasties.

Qin Shihuang also did it, and how did Li Muzhi, who was mentioned by Bo Wanghou, become a nobleman of the Great Yuezhi?

A series of questions lingered in the mind.

So, Zhang Qian told Su Wu everything he knew.

Su Wu was silent after hearing this, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.

So there is such a story.

He looked happy: "So, Li Muzhi is our own person, and he will definitely be willing to form an alliance with the great man."

"Not necessarily, interests are the most important. If there are not enough interests, they will not support them."

Zhang Qian pointed this out incisively.

Very insightful.

Su Wu talked about other things, for example, were those pinyin really what Li Muzhi did?

With his identity, Su Wu also had some understanding of that set of pinyin teaching.

And tried it privately.

However, there are always some errors in the pronunciation.

Later, I gave up.

Emperor Wu of Han did not ban this set of pinyin, but only circulated on a small scale in private to see the effect.

With the position of Emperor Wu of Han, of course, the more people who are willing to learn to read, the better.

There are also the Great Moon Era numbers, yes, without the Arabic numerals, they have become the Great Moon Era numbers.

The Great Yuezhi numbers are being promoted in an orderly manner.

It is estimated that in the last decade, the great man will be able to see various places and professions.

......

Kabul is Xijing.

Li Muzhi stood in the temple of the King of Bactrica's original sect, looking left and right, very interested.

The two sisters You Yu followed.

"Have you two been here before?"

The two women shook their heads and looked at them curiously.

It is called a temple, but it is actually a larger palace.

It's just that it is built on a mountain, and I don't know how the craftsmen built it. It has good lighting and can ensure that there is light throughout the day in the center of the temple.

It's also extremely strange.

The two sisters' faces seemed to be stained with a layer of rouge, and they looked at the scene around them shyly.

Many lifelike murals are carved around the temple.

Most of them are naked women.

They pose in various positions, and even some details can be clearly seen.

Li Muzhi sighed, "Your father rarely knows how to play."

The two women pursed their lips and couldn't speak. They were also shocked by the degree of debauchery of their father, because a briefing person just said that the portraits of women in the surrounding palaces were all real people.

King Sai has a hobby, exposing maniac.

After having sex with a woman, he would call the painter to keep the beautiful scenery.

And it is really convincing to pick some women and then portray their body postures on the surrounding walls.

It’s a pity that so many beautiful women are.

Li Muzhi felt a little regretful.
