Shanshan was a major country in the Western Regions. Its ancestors were rumored to be the Donglou Duke of Xia and Houyi. It is said that at the junction of Xia and Shang dynasties, most of the descendants of Donglou Duke belonged to Yin, and a small part moved south or north from Qingxu. Some of them moved north to Liaodong became Yiluo. This country is located more than a thousand miles northeast of Fuyu, on the coast of the sea, and connected to the north to Woju in the south.

The branch that migrated west was divided into two parts, one called Lafan. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the country was known for its strong military generals and good at riding and shooting. King Wuling of Zhao was a Hu clothing and riding and shooting, so he learned about Loofan. Later, the Han general Wei Qing, who was in Henan, set up Shuofang County in his old place.

Another branch, whose migration distance was even further, eventually lived on the bank of Yanze in the Western Regions, called Loulan. Another Yanze was called Laolan Sea. The word Laolan is the pronunciation of Loulan.

When the Huns in the former Han Dynasty were at its peak, Loulan and Wusun and other twenty-three kingdoms all depended on the Huns and were managed by the Tongpu Duwei set up by the Xiongnu King Rizhu. The Tongpu Duwei was taxed by the Tongpu Duwei and obtained wealth. Later, Emperor Wu opened the border and controlled the Western Regions. Loulan also surrendered to the Han Dynasty, but because its country was in a major transportation route in the Western Regions, it was at the same time to pay tribute to the Huns and the Han Dynasty for a long time and sent pledges to both sides.

During the reign of Emperor Yuan, King Loulan was born in the Xiongnu's hostage, so he was close to the Xiongnu and stayed away from the Han Dynasty. He colluded with the Xiongnu many times to stop the killing of the Han Dynasty envoy. The Han envoy Fu Jiezi pretended to bring gold and silver to reward countries in the Western Regions, and asked to see King Loulan and killed him during a banquet. The nobles present at Loulan were frightened.

Fu Jiezi said: "The king was guilty of Han, and the emperor sent me to kill the king. We should establish the former crown prince's command in Han. When the Han army arrived, do not dare to move. If it moves, the country will be destroyed!" So he took the head of King Loulan and returned to the palace, and announced on the spot that Loulan's hostage was established in Han. Wei Tuqi, the brother of the former king, was the king, and changed the name of the country to Shanshan, which means a kind country that respects Buddhism.

After that, the Han Dynasty weakened and its control over the Western Regions gradually loosened. After Dong Zhuo, the last commander of the Western Regions Wuji School, was dismissed for the incident, the management rights of the Western Regions were transferred to the Dunhuang prefect.

The countries in the Western Regions took this opportunity to attack and annex each other. Shanshan sent troops to conquer the Qiang, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Qiemo and other countries, along with Yutian, Yanqi, Kucha, Shule, Yueban and Cheshi, and were among the seven most powerful Western Regions.

At the same time, the power of the Xianbei people gradually penetrated into the Western Regions, with the main control areas north of Yiwu and around the Pulei Sea, and the range of activities was wide enough to the entire Western Regions.

Last year, Jiang Wei and others led a caravan to the Western Regions. They were robbed by a small king of Xianbei in the Weili area, and Jiang Wei defeated them. The Xianbei merged with Weixu, Shanguo, Dongzhimi, Westzhimi, and Beilu and other scattered small countries, and Jiang Wei fought and retreated. He was supported by Zuoqiu, Shanguo in Yanze, and was able to be repaired.

However, this move immediately triggered a dispute between the countries in the Western Regions and the Xianbei of Hexi. Shanshan Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the war. Among its country, there were no nobles such as Shao Huhou, Zuo and Qiequ, and nearly two thousand were killed or injured, nearly half of the country's troops.

Fortunately, not long after, the Han army arrived. Zhang Fei personally led the powerful troops to sweep the desert and Gobi. In the bitter cold winter and the hot summer, he continued to plow the courtyard and sweep the caves. For more than half a year, he severely damaged the Xianbei in Hexi, rebuilt the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, and completely restored the order and security of the Western Regions.

The king of Shanshan was given special rewards from Yin Feng, the chief of the Western Regions because of his achievements in protecting the Han envoy. It was naturally easy to support a small country in the Western Regions with the huge power of the Han family, and the vitality of Shanshan was quickly restored. As a result, the king was grateful to the Han family. He personally led the nobles in the country to Chang'an for tribute and worship.

Of course, the King's successor arrangement has long been agreed. The Secretariat, General Shanshan, and the Golden Seal of King Shanshan of Han, have also been engraved in advance.

Such an important person will naturally not neglect the receptionist.

The day before yesterday, the Great Honglu Shejian personally accompanied him and led the delegation to enjoy the scenery of Chang'an. The King of Shanshan was also very cooperative. No matter where he was, his words and deeds gave him enough face and respected him. In addition, he was also very active in learning the rules of court.

Now, among the envoys of the Western Regions active in Chang'an, this King Shanshan is the best.

He was so attentive that the court could not simply regard it as the other kings and envoys as usual. A few days ago, the Honglu Temple applied to interrogate the emperor if he could meet him specifically before the Zhengdan Dynasty to show his honor and favor.

On this day, She Jian came to meet again and mentioned this matter again.

He was the Huangmen Minister of the Ling Emperor's Dynasty and a famous scholar of Fufeng. If you are interested in the hope, he would probably be similar to Zhong Yao and Wang Lang from Cao Wei. Even if you are not particularly restrained in front of the emperor, he said half-jokingly: "Your Majesty has come to Chang'an this time and has lived in simplicity for more than a month; let alone a mere King Shanshan, all the ministers are waiting for Your Majesty to receive him."

Liu Bei laughed.

After laughing for a while, Liu Bei said, "Then invite him to Xuanshi Hall, come now, I will see him there!"

The cum went happily.

When the figure of Shooting disappeared outside the hall gate, Liu Bei's body slowly leaned to the side. The eunuch hurriedly brought the pillow up, and Liu Bei put his elbow on the pillow, as if very tired.

After a while, he whispered: "Go and call Jiang Bo to come and let him accompany him when he meets you."

"yes."

After a while, Liu Bei sat down and said, "Get on the crown and robe, and prepare to get on."

The eunuch leader said carefully: "Why don't your majesty rest for a while? Then King Shanshan will have to come here..."

Liu Bei shook his head.

He held his arms flat, and the eunuchs supported him from both sides, allowing him to stand up slowly. The movements were slow and careful enough, but Liu Bei still felt dizzy, and fine beads of sweat were immediately squeezing between his forehead and neck.

He tried to move forward, but his feet couldn't gather strength for a moment, so he tightened his muscles at every step, but leaned against the joints of his ankles and knees to support the weight.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" the eunuchs called softly.

Liu Bei calmed down his center of gravity and slowly stood firm.

He took a deep breath and mobilized his energy to adapt to this sudden aging and weak body.

This time he came to Chang'an, he had no intention of living in simplicity. He was curious and enthusiastic about the rebuilt Han imperial capital. He wanted to carefully see the towering palaces and chat with the scholars and people in Chang'an City. He also wanted to worship the imperial tombs of all generations again and comfort the ancestors.

In addition, there are several important things. One of them is particularly important. If it is done, then Cao Wei will perish together and there will be no threat. If this thing can be seen by the kings and envoys of the Western Regions, they will be able to see it with their own eyes, and they will know the military power of the Han Dynasty and will never dare to have any treason from now on.

But he didn't expect that he would suddenly grow old, so quickly.

When he left Chengdu, he was still fine. He was walking along the way and flew everywhere and climbed to look out. But one day, he suddenly felt weak. Every day afterwards, he felt his energy was like a dam being damaged, constantly pouring out of his body.

He looked at himself in the mirror every day, and felt that the white hair on his temples was like weeds, growing more and more; he felt that his originally strong arms and legs suddenly lost his strength.

He always felt that he had extraordinary energy and a strong body, and could gallop across thousands of miles and go through the wind and frost without falling. But now he understood that the spirit before was not yet there.

Now, it's time.

Liu Bei could feel that his body was like an extremely strong car, but after too many destructions, he finally reached an unsustainable car. He could still carry a heavy load the day before, but suddenly, he began to stagger, and every place was creaking, and the mortise and the mortise began to break with crackling.

So after he arrived in Chang'an, he kept recuperating.

Considering the stability of the court, the emperor's condition was not announced to the public. Liu Bei thought that he should have been able to take care of himself for ten or half a month. But ten or half a month later, his body was still weak and everything did not improve. If this continues, it seems that he will be almost impossible to hide it.

Liu Bei breathed a long sigh.

He pulled his hand back from the support of the eunuch, tidied up his clothes, and then pressed the sword, slowly pressed against the pain of stretching muscles and bones, straightened his back. A cold wind blew in from outside the hall, suddenly cheering up his spirit. He waved his sleeves and strode forward.

The world is not yet determined, and the emperor of the Han family cannot be weak or tired.
