Chapter 269 Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions
"Princess, these corpses cannot be left here, as they will attract wolf pack revenge!" Tak Mu stepped forward and said, also seeking Jin Yao's opinion.
The person was killed by Jin Yao, so the spoils should also belong to Jin Yao. Tucker Mu did not arrange to touch the body on his own initiative, but waited for Jin Yao and Taoyao's reply.
Taoyao relayed Takmu's meaning to Jin Yao.
"You go!" Jin Yao was not interested in the corpses of the Xiongnu's defeated army, and there was nothing worthy of his concern.
"You've come here, but you can't come in vain!" Jin Yao suddenly thought that this is the Western Region, and there are many things that are not found in the Central Plains, such as:
Dawan’s sweat-blooded horse is accompanied by alfalfa, pepper, sesame, walnut, grape, pomegranate, cucumber, cantaloupe, tomato, etc.
Of course, what attracts Jinyao the most is Lop Nur, which has become a world-famous desert in later generations, a thousands-mile uninhabited land.
The water scripture notes record that Lop Nur was a vast lake at that time, with rich fish and shrimps, and a water area of 3,000 square kilometers, which was equivalent to the existence of Poyang Lake, the largest Danshui Lake in its heyday.
"How many big countries do you know?" Jin Yao followed Tao Yao into the yurt, thought for a moment, and then asked.
He didn't know how to ask. The Western Regions was the Central Plains' name for the west of the Qin Dynasty, but as a native of Taoyao, he probably didn't have the concept of the Western Regions.
Therefore, we can only ask what powerful countries there are in the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions in Taoyao's view.
"From east to west, the great states include Loulan, Kucha, Wusun, Dayuan, Kangju, Daxia, Dayuezhi and our charioteers. Our charioteers are north of Loulan and Qiuci and east of Wusun. Among them are
Pu Lei, Wu Tan Zi, Dong, Xiqie Mi, Shan Huan, Bei Lu, Shan Guo, Jie Guo, Gu Mo and other small countries." Taoyao thought for a while and said from memory.
Jin Yao frowned, then drew a sketch on the ground and asked Tao Yao to mark the locations of various countries.
"Within the territory of our Cheshi Kingdom, there are five kingdoms: Pu Lei, Wu Tan Zi, Dong Qie Mi, and Bei Lu. Among them, Pu Lei, Wu Tan Zi, and Dong Qie Mi are under the control of our Che Shi Country.
Xiqimi and Beilu were under Wusun's control.
Our Che Division has 30,000 elite soldiers, each of which is controlled by the father and the kings and brothers. It is also called the Che Division Weidu, the Che Division Front Country and the Che Division Rear Country to guard the Che Division King City.
Like Dongxiqimi, Pu Lei is also divided into Pu Lei’s former country and Pu Lei’s country.”
Tao Yao drew on the map the countries and regions within the driver's range that he was most familiar with.
Jin Yao nodded, this is all first-hand information about the Western Regions. When the Qin State frees up its hands in the future, it will definitely take over the Western Regions.
"In the middle are the two big countries Loulan and Qiuci.
Among them, Loulan is also the most powerful country near us. It has 50,000 elite soldiers and controls the most beautiful Luobu Nur Lake. Luobu Nur means the place where thousands of rivers gather.
Luo Bu Nuo'er is also a treasure given to us by God. The salt we need is obtained by trading with Loulan Kingdom.
Therefore, through Lobu Nur, King Loulan controlled the Shan Kingdom to the east, Gumo, Jie Kingdom, Wensu to the west, Ruoqiang, Jingjue, Qiemo, Ronglu, Qule, and Kumi to the south.
Khotan, Pishan, Xiye, Yarkand, Yinai, Puli and other countries.
As for Qiuci, it is only slightly weaker than Loulan, and controls Weitou, Shule, Yimei and other countries."
Tao Yao was talking and drawing at the same time, but he couldn't understand the military deployment of these large and small countries like the chariot master.
Jin Yao also nodded. It was very rare for Taoyao to know so much. Just looking at the countless names on the sketch, Jin Yao also had a headache. How could there be so many countries in such a good place.
When the Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the Central Plains, they almost failed to carve out so many countries. The Western Region could actually carve out so many countries. It is no wonder that the Han Dynasty did not set up a county here, but only set up a Duhufu to manage it and let them govern themselves.
.
"What about further west?" Jin Yao continued to ask.
"I don't know about further west. I just know that there are Dawan, Kangju, Daxia, and Dayuezhi in the west, four countries that are not weaker than our charioteers." Tao Yao lowered her head and said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, that's enough!" Jin Yao didn't care, the real situation
It's only useful if you see it with your own eyes.
"Well, I heard my father mentioned it once, but I don't know if it's true news." Tao Yao suddenly raised her head and said.
"Tell me and listen!" Jin Yao nodded.
"Decades ago, Wusun fought against a large country in the West. The other party threatened that they had hundreds of thousands of troops and were an empire several times more powerful than our chariots, named Anxi." Taoyao recalled.
There is a story that the King of Cheshi once mentioned inadvertently, but even his father did not believe that such a powerful country existed.
Otherwise, how could Wusun block the opponent!
"Also, not long ago, Kangju and Daxia seemed to have had a war with a country in the south. In the end, the two sides stopped fighting and made peace, so many bald heads appeared here, claiming to be ascetics and coming from the city of Vaishya.
, and their country seems to be called Peacock, and they have a great king called Peacock King Ashoka." Taoyao continued to add.
"The Maurya Dynasty! The era of King Asoka?" Jin Yao's eyes became serious. It would not be a good thing if the Central Plains faced the Maurya Dynasty in the era of King Ashoka at this time.
"These people are very annoying. They have no hair, and they only want to persuade people to compromise with reality. They don't want to make progress and seek an afterlife. I don't like them very much, but my father and brothers like them very much. They treat them as guests and allow them to do so.
They are proselytizing here!" Taoyao said angrily.
"Did Buddhism also appear?" Jin Yao's eyes became serious.
Buddhism has had a great influence on later generations. In fact, there are many factors. One of them is that when Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, hundreds of Chinese schools did not take it seriously. It was allowed to develop alone for hundreds of years before the Central Plains reacted.
Then Taoism appeared.
Before that, China only regarded Buddhism as the existence of Wu Zhu and others, and never thought that Buddhism would have a complete system and theory that was different from Wu Zhu.
It was only after Buddhism grew that China realized it, but it could no longer get rid of it because it had already evolved into one with the scriptures and meanings of various schools in the Central Plains.
"They came here empty-handed?" Jin Yao suddenly asked.
He remembered that Buddhism at this time was actually quite simple. They were all composed of a group of ascetics, the kind of beings who would sacrifice themselves for their beliefs. This was very similar to the Mohists, but they had different beliefs.
"Well! Who has such a person? He doesn't even bring a gift when he comes to someone else's house! He just takes some fancy things and says it's their gift, and then says whatever he likes is destined to them, and then tells his father
The king and his brothers demand it." Taoyao said even more angrily.
