After crossing Taiyuan, you will enter the real essence of the Zhuxia ethnic group.

The majestic Taihang Mountains stretch forward and pave the backbone of China.

Cities rise from the ground, and are covered with stars on both sides of the mountains.

The literati and officials carrying swords went out together, singing ancient poems and walking on the road.

The merchants who were coming and going drove cattle and horses and transported a large number of supplies to the distance.

The civilians who transport military rations sweated heavily on the road.

And everyone is wearing weapons!

From excellent crossbows to sharp swords.

Even the children playing outside the village pavilion were holding small bows and trying archery under the tree.

The more I watched the group, the more I became more shocked.

The young man has been silent for several days.

This strange country is too big and too strong!

He finally understood why, after the first group of Wusun missions to come to Han, they immediately advocated getting along with Han after returning to China, and even convinced Xian Kunmo to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty!

Such a super power can only contact!

Otherwise, once He regards it as a threat, the country may be destroyed!

Luntai, Fule and other countries in the Western Regions rashly provoked this giant and were erased from the map.

"Empress, Xiaoguan has arrived, please get out of the car..." A voice came from outside the curtain.

The young man lifted the curtain and saw an official wearing a wide robe in the Han Dynasty, holding a volume of documents and standing outside the car.

"Xiao Guan?" The young man's eyelids jumped slightly.

He has heard of this name for a long time.

It is said that only by entering Xiaoguan can one enter the real essence and prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

"Report to the envoy - it is Xiaoguan ahead. The emperor ordered the imperial envoy to prepare for the welcome in Xiaoguan..." The official whispered in the Huns: "Please get off the car..."

"Son of Heaven?" The young man played with this honorific title and smiled slightly.

In today's world, the kings of the great powers actually claim to be the emperor.

For example, the Xiongnu Chanyu, the official title should be the Plum and the Tu Shanyu.

In the context of the Huns, the plow is the sky and the gully is the son, so the true meaning of its full name is the son of the god of heaven and the king of all the people who lead the bow.

As for Wusun, the same is true.

It is different from the Huns who believe in shamanism and think that all things have spirits and everything can be God.

In the Wusun tradition, wolves and crows are the incarnations of gods.

Generally speaking, the Wusun people think that wolves are the gods of heaven, and crows are the mother earth gods who raise all things.

Therefore, the wolf is the god of heaven and the crow is the god of earth.

Therefore, the king of Wusun, named Kunmo, also known as Kunmi, means the son of the wolf god, the guardian of all Wusun people, and can also be translated as "son of the god of heaven, the protector of all Wusun people".

Therefore, male members of the Wusun royal family will write a wolf-head tattoo on their chests when they become adults, using this as a proof and pride of their identity!

He lowered his head and looked at the wolf-head tattoo hidden in the fox fur and on his chest. The young man finally became a little arrogant and regained his arrogance.

"Anyway, I am the descendant of the great hunter Jiaomi, and the heir of Kunmo of Wusun!"

"No matter what, Wusun is one of the three most powerful countries in the known world, and is a powerful country that can be compared with the Huns and Han dynasties!"

As they were chanting these words in their hearts, the young man picked up a knife beside him and walked off the carriage.

When all the members of the mission saw him get off the car, they turned over and dismounted and crawled forward.

There were even nobles who lay down at his feet and kissed his boots: "Great Kunmo, may the wolf linger around you forever, and may the crow fall on your shoulders!"

The young man calmly accepted the worship of his subordinates.

This is a matter of course.

He is the descendant of Hunjiaomi and the legitimate son of Junxumi.

The legendary descendants of the Wolf God and the Crow God, the next king of all Wusun people - Nimi!

His nobility can be seen from his name!

Mud is a mixture of water and soil.

It is the masterpiece of Mother Earth, and a man favored by crows.

Unfortunately, Ni Mi's pride did not last long.

Because, he saw a wonder.

A terrifying scene!

Under the city block in the distance, on the spacious road, a cavalry quietly lined up, silently forming four columns, arranged on both sides of the road.

There are not many of them, and each column can only have at most fifty people.

However, their equipment made Ni Mi unable to move her eyes.

These cavalrymen were wearing iron armor.

The neat iron armor was polished so smooth that it formed reflection sources in the winter sun.

Although the sunlight reflected was not much and not very dazzling, Ni Mi still felt a little painful in her eyes!

What’s even more terrifying is that these cavalrymen hold the huge weapons!

The long blade and the sharp spear head are all flashing coldly, making people feel creepy and frightened.

"Is this... a threat?" Ni Mi murmured softly, and her whole heart was hit by a heavy hammer, and it was split in an instant. The arrogance that had just ignited in her heart unknowingly became silent again.

Since the Han Dynasty appeared in the sight of the countries in the Western Regions, the entire world order has been completely rewritten by the emergence of this super power!

The first impact that triggered was that the nations had to compete for arms race.

However, the cost of maintaining an army is more expensive than before.

The main reason is that the Han Dynasty's army used iron or even steel weapons on a large scale!

In front of the iron swords and iron swords of the Han army, all the old weapons were instantly eliminated.

Unfortunately, most of the countries in the Western Regions failed to master the bronze casting technology.

In the past, the disputes between the nations were mainly made of stone tools and wooden bows. Some people could bring up a full bronze cavalry.

However, even the best bronze weapons in the countries were not much better than wood in front of the iron tools of the Han Dynasty!

This forced the nations to equip iron tools.

However, there is only one country in the world that can produce and cast iron weapons on a large scale - the Han Dynasty!

There is only one way for countries to obtain iron tools - trade with the Han Dynasty.

Even the Huns!

More than 70% of the Huns' weapons were smuggled back from Han Dynasty vassal tribes such as the Han Dynasty Frontier and Wuheng and Xiao Yuezhi.

The remaining 30% are obtained through war seizure and other means.

The Huns themselves did not have the ability to smel and make iron weapons!

This is very embarrassing.

This means that in a new era, many Western Region kingdoms may not be able to afford to support a thousand cavalrymen who can come to the table!

There is no way. Many countries in the Western Regions are small and have not had a large population.

Like Wusun, even slaves, women and children, in total, they are already super powerful.

Like Loulan and Cheshi, a country with a population of 100,000 is already a regional dominant.

Many countries have a population of only 30,000 or 50,000, and their survival also relies on the oasis of their existence.

The oasis is gone, the country perishes, and the people are dispersed.

The iron weapons of the Han Dynasty were often worth a few sheep, and even needed to exchange for a horse or several pieces of fur with excellent character.

In ordinary small countries, they can't afford it at all.

Even if the army is strong and the whole country can be equipped with hundreds of iron cavalry.

Even Wusun, because of his good friendship with the Han Dynasty, through horse trade and silk trade, cheap and high-quality iron tools could be obtained from the Han Dynasty.

It was just a replacement of ten thousand cavalrymen with iron tools.

Unfortunately, these ten thousand cavalrymen belong to his uncle, and now Kunmowengguimi's direct lineage.

This has caused the Western Regions to lose their ability to resist in the face of the new war situation!

For example, the Luntai Kingdom was slaughtered by Li Guangli, and its capital was 50,000 people, either killed or captured, and brought back to the Han Dynasty. During the entire war, it was said that only one hundred Han soldiers died...

What's even more terrifying is the demise of the Fule Kingdom.

A low-ranking officer of the Han Dynasty, with fifty soldiers and a hundred horses, captured all the kings, nobles, people, and slaves across the country!

And now...
To be continued...
