Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 298 Loulan
"What? Sari Shuka intercepted and killed you halfway? This is a shame!"

Qin Wangzheng was burning with anger, there was a wave of anger hidden between his brows, his face was ashen, as if he wanted to eat people.

This is a rare time for Qin Wangzheng to get angry, but he didn't expect it to be because of the boy Sari Shuka.

It is well known that Sari Shuka is cruel and ruthless, but I am a little surprised that he has no shame.

I lost three times, not only did not call out the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord, but also took the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord privately, and even had to compete with Da Qin again to decide the whereabouts of the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord.

Unexpectedly, after the victory, he still didn't give up. He wanted to snatch the Thunder Beast Five Heavens Lord back. Fortunately, Han Xin stepped forward and frightened the soldiers away, so he gave up a way to escape, otherwise it would be really terrible.

The significance of the Thunder Beast Five Heavenly Lord is not trivial. It is the treasure of Emperor Zhou. How could such an item fall into the hands of a foreign race? I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

but
Didn't Sari Shuka do this for a public decisive battle?
Since Sari Suka wants to start a fight with Great Qin, then Great Qin will accompany him to the end.

However, I never expected that Relic Suga would have the confidence to confront the Qin Dynasty?Where does this blind confidence come from?
In terms of economy and culture, the Great Qin Dynasty was far superior to the Mauryan Dynasty of Sari Saka!
Why did this kid, Sari Shuka, want to confront Daqin?

This is something I can't figure out no matter what. Logically speaking, Relic Saga did not fall out with the Qin Dynasty because of a cultural relic!
Qin Wangzheng frowned. Could it be that there was someone else behind Relic Suga who was sincerely inviting him?

Regardless, Qin Wangzheng didn't bother to pay attention to Sari Shuka, so he could tell the two of their next mission, go to the ancient city of Loulan to lobby the King of Loulan, and cooperate with the Western Qiang Kingdom to attack the Peacock Dynasty.

This move still made Li Shiqi a little nervous. Is he really going to start a war with the Maurya Dynasty?

Although Sari Suka wanted to snatch the Five Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Beast, he gave Da Qin a real gift. Why did he unite the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Western Regions to fight against the Maurya Dynasty?
The two couldn't figure it out, this is not the style of Qin Wangzheng, Da Qin can completely watch the fire from the other side, and then take advantage of it to rob!

Da Qin shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, I had no intention of joining forces with the Mauryan Dynasty from the beginning. The Mauryan King Sariśoka was a cruel and ruthless desperado. He would do anything to achieve his goals and even take the initiative to obtain some benefits. It is simply wishful thinking to fight against Daqin!"

"Even if the Peacock Dynasty cooperates with Daqin, Daqin still has the confidence not to cooperate with the Peacock Dynasty. If you cooperate with such a villain, you will be the only one who suffers in the end. This is terrible!"

"The reason why I sent you is to test the comprehensive national strength of the Maurya Dynasty!"

Only then did Li Shiqi and Han Xin realize that if they really cooperated with the Maurya Dynasty, they would be the only ones who would suffer.

Once the Maurya Dynasty captured the Western Qiang Kingdom and its national power increased greatly, it would target Da Qin. At that time, the confrontation between Da Qin and the Maurya Dynasty would be a bit tricky!
That being the case, it proves that what Qin Wangzheng did was right!
Then the next task is to unite the 36 countries in the Western Regions, fight against the Maurya Dynasty to the end, and wipe out the Maurya Dynasty in one fell swoop!

The first target is Loulan Kingdom, because Loulan Kingdom has some connection with Da Qin!

The name of Loulan first appeared in "Historical Records". "According to the records related to Loulan in "Historical Records", the country of Loulan existed at least before the 2nd century.

The Central Plains regime did not know the existence of Loulan before. One reason was that Loulan was a very small country, and the other reason was that compared to the Xiongnu who fought bravely and posed a certain threat to the Central Plains dynasty, Loulan's presence was relatively small. Low.

Loulan's growing sense of presence began when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the determination to attack the Xiongnu.Although the country of Loulan is small in area, its location is very important.

Loulan is located in "the only place where exchanges between the Western Han Dynasty and various countries in the Western Regions must pass." The important geographical location, and there must be a battle between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, made the Western Han Dynasty begin to pay attention to Loulan.

Before being discovered by the Western Han Dynasty, Loulan was a powerful country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions relying on its unique geographical location and excellent business capabilities.Loulan is located in the eastern part of the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. It is connected to Dunhuang to the east and Yanqi and Yuli to the northwest.

If you go southwest, you can go to Ruoqiang and Qiemo.According to the records of "Han Shu", the clothes worn by the people of Loulan Kingdom are probably the same as those of the people of the Han Dynasty.The king of Loulan Kingdom believed in Buddhism and knew about Hinayana.

"From then on, we traveled northeast for more than a thousand miles to the homeland of Nabobo, which is the land of Loulan." Loulan, which originally occupied an extremely advantageous geographical location, probably did not expect that the geographical location that originally brought a lot of economic benefits to itself would eventually harm it. He had to face the war.

Because the Loulan Kingdom is small, it basically depends on the Xiongnu for survival.When the Western Han Dynasty did not fight the Xiongnu, the two sides lived in peace, but once the Western Han Dynasty wanted to attack the Xiongnu, it would be difficult to survive if they could neither defeat the Xiongnu nor Loulan in the Western Han Dynasty.

Since she was relatively close to the Xiongnu at that time, Loulan initially chose to be the Xiongnu's eyes and ears, but after the Western Han Dynasty sent troops to attack, she expressed her allegiance to the Han.

"(Loulan) sometimes became the eyes and ears of the Xiongnu, and sometimes belonged to the Han." Loulan lacked enough force to protect itself, and it was difficult to truly obtain complete national sovereignty.

At that time, the power of the Western Han Dynasty was extremely strong. Although the small countries in the Western Regions could not compete with the Western Han Dynasty, some countries still chose to go to the Central Plains to rob supplies when they were short of supplies.

In order to attack the Xiongnu more smoothly in the future, and also because of Loulan's sloppy behavior, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered General Zhao Polu to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to attack the two countries of Loulan and Gushi.

The Western Han Dynasty troops with strong national strength, strong soldiers and horses, and powerful combat capabilities, under the leadership of General Zhao Ponu, successively attacked Loulan and Gushi. Not only did they successfully complete the tasks assigned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but they also directly captured King Loulan.

The powerful combat capability of the Han Dynasty army deterred Wusun, Dayuan and other countries in the Western Region to a certain extent.After capturing King Loulan alive, facing questioning from the Western Han Dynasty, King Loulan said bitterly that it was not easy for a small country to survive among big countries.It's not that I want to waver, but I have to do it for the survival of the country.

Now, lobbying King Loulan should be a good choice. King Loulan was cheated once by the Mauryan Dynasty, so there is no reason not to agree!
