Shortly after Lu Jia left Kangju, he received news from Qi Hu.

Lu Jia, who had always been calm, also showed slight changes in his expression, but soon returned to normal.

He is the backbone of this team, and he himself cannot panic at any time.

"Is the news confirmed?" Lu Jia asked gloomily.

"It is basically confirmed that the other party is from a big family in Dawan. We have also inquired about it and found that Dawan does have such a big family!" Qi Hu nodded directly to confirm.

Insert an APP that perfectly reproduces the old version of Book Chasing Artifact and can change the source - Source Changing Artifact.

"Well, I understand!" Lu Jia nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This country of Dawan is really interesting.

However, this Atuoli has quite good eyesight, and he can actually see through the big man's true intention.

But these are not the most important.

The most important thing is that now Lu Jia is sure that their return trip will not be too smooth.

But the original plan has been made and everyone has dispersed. To change the itinerary at short notice will be very detrimental to the image of the big man.

Therefore, he still had to continue walking according to his original itinerary.

Fortunately, the King of Dawan finally changed his mind and changed the tactics of three countries to block the attack in batches to a unified blockade.

Of course, there are benefits to doing this.

For example, if the other two countries disagree, then they can pretend that it never happened and they will not anger the big man.

When walking in the land of the Western Regions, Lu Jia had already found the way.

Originally, I didn't plan to implement it in such a hurry.

But now, he doesn't dare to take risks anymore.

So Lu Jia made a quick decision and immediately arranged for a group of people to bring a small amount of Baidiezi and a large amount of Baidiezi seeds.

These seeds are stored in fifty people respectively. No matter what, as long as one person can return to Han Dynasty alive and bring these seeds back, their mission will be completed.

Originally, Lu Jia was thinking of taking a lot of them back, but now it seems that is obviously impossible.

What follows may be a dead end for them.

"Lu Envoy, why not change the route? Or we can go directly north and pass through the northern border of Wusun. Then we can go directly back to Yunzhong County!" Someone began to suggest.

According to the original route plan, they needed to cross the entire Dawan Kingdom first, and then go west.

Although you don’t have to go through Wusun and Qiuci, you still walk along their southern border.

If they send troops at this time, it will be very easy to stop the mission.

Although the combat effectiveness of these people is not bad, no matter how high the combat effectiveness is, there are only more than 800 people. Each of the three countries sends 5,000 troops. Even if one person comes up to chop him and then leaves, they cannot hold it.

"It is absolutely forbidden to go to the north. Before departure, His Majesty specifically told my envoy that the imperial court will use troops against the Huns next. No matter what the outcome is, if we go north, we will definitely encounter the Huns. It will be difficult to go back then.

Although the south seems to be full of dangers, it is not without opportunities!" Lu Jia revealed the secret that had been buried in his heart for more than two years.

That's right, before leaving, Wang Buxu specifically told this matter, try not to go north, go south, go as far as you can.

In addition, Wang Buxu directly told him not to put the eggs in one basket. After finding something, send more people to spread it out to avoid being targeted by some people.

However, Lu Jia could not believe until now that what Wang Buxu told him two years ago actually happened.

Someone is really targeting them...

Ten days later, the mission arrived at Ershi City.

Here, Lu Jia was warmly received by the King of Dawan.

There was a lot of chatting during the banquet. When he learned that the mission was going back to the Han Dynasty, King Dawan enthusiastically prepared some gifts and asked Lu Jia to go back to the emperor with his greetings.

If he hadn't received the news in advance, Lu Jia might have been moved by King Dawan's actions.

During the dinner, neither party mentioned anything about the war horses.

The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves and the scene was so joyful that no one could see any major problems.

The King of Dayuan even inadvertently asked about the envoy's route back to Han, and Lu Jia did not hide anything about it.

In fact, there was nothing to hide. He had already dispersed so many people and invited so many city-states. At least he could know their route by asking around a little.

On the eighth day after leaving Ershi City, as soon as the mission entered the drug donation area, a group of people carrying Bai Diazi seeds quietly left the large army.

They will pass through Xiuwu, and then go all the way east, that is, all the way east along the Kunlun Mountains.

To their north were the envoys led by Lu Jia himself and some envoys from various states who had gathered there.

That's right, Lu Jia planned to use himself as bait to cover up the brothers who carried the seeds.

Of course, they carry not only seeds, but also some of Lu Jia's achievements in the past two years.

He had someone copy a map of the Western Regions and the general situation of each country.

To put it bluntly, even if their main force does not return, as long as one of the fifty men can return, it will not be that difficult if the big man wants to send troops.

"This place in the Western Region is quite good!" On the way back, Lu Jia couldn't help but sigh.

When later generations mention the Western Regions, they will subconsciously think of the desert and the Gobi wilderness.

But now, it is not like this at all.

The people here are divided into two types. One is based on animal husbandry, and the typical ones are big countries such as Dawan, Wusun, and Qiuci.

Most of these countries are located in the north, while the southern areas are mostly based on farming.

Different lifestyles are most directly reflected in the comparison of strength.

Those who rely on animal husbandry for a living have basically become big countries, while those who rely on agriculture for a living have basically become insignificant.

The north is surrounded by several big countries, and the south is smaller than the north, but there are hundreds of countries, large and small, here, so they are also called city kingdoms.

"It's also very strange. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that there is a country here whose entire population is not as large as our village?" Someone also began to sigh.

"Yeah, it's really hard to imagine how Shan Heng, with only 27 households and more than 190 people, could exist here for so long!" Lu Jia, who was well-informed, couldn't help but admire it.

This girl has all kinds of weird things.

If it were in the south, a place dominated by farming and where the frequency of wars was not high, Shan Heng's existence might still be tolerated.

But Shan Hengguo, a weirdo, just doesn't play according to common sense.

How many countries are there around Shan Heng?

To the south are Dongqiemi and Xiqiemi respectively, and to the west is Wutanzhaili.

Well, this is also a strange thing, with forty-one households, two hundred and thirty-one mouths, fifty-seven victorious soldiers, auxiliary princes, and one captain each on the left and right.

Let's arrange seven personal soldiers for the king. The remaining two captains will lead twenty-five soldiers each. If these bastards are placed among the big men, they can be dispatched with just one stone.

To the east are Beilu and several Cheshi Kingdoms.

And where are these countries?

Just around Urumqi in later generations, even if these countries are relatively weak, there are still many powerful countries around them.

"It's probably because they are too young, so people are too lazy to talk to them..." I don't know who it was, but suddenly told a secret that might be the truth.

The return trip was undoubtedly enjoyable.

Although everyone has a tightrope in their hearts, the number of people in the team is getting larger and larger, almost reaching 900 people.

The total number of envoys from the surrounding city-states was almost a hundred.

Based on this scale and speed, it is estimated that by the time they return to Dahan, there will be approximately 1,200 to 300 people.

After leaving Gumo, Lu Jia finally got the legendary Dawan horse.

The number is not large, less than a hundred horses.

Adoli found a way to transport it here in advance, and then the two parties handed it over here.

It can be seen that Atuoli also put in a lot of effort to please the Han Dynasty.

"Envoy Lu, the captain has discovered the Dawan cavalry..." In the team, the cavalry who stayed behind to watch reported in a low voice.

"How many people?"

"Almost six or seven thousand!"

"Well! Don't make any noise!" Lu Jia said with a calm look on his face.

This thing made him feel a little strange.

The Dawan people, who had been silent all this time, suddenly appeared. Weitou was only about two days away from them.

Now that the mission has a lot of people and a lot of goods, it is difficult to increase the speed, so it is impossible to get rid of the Dawan cavalry.

But there has been no news about Wusun and Qiuci in rumors.

His scouts had already reached Yuli and left the territory of Qiuci, but no one stopped them.

Did Wusun and Qiuci not agree to the Dawan people's suggestion?
To be continued...
