Li Shushi left the Bingzhou Army and the Feixiong Army to Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, while he himself took the first step with more than a thousand elite soldiers. Anyway, with the calmness of Xu Rong, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, and Hua Xiong Li Shushi is not worried about those small forces.
As for him here - he is accompanied by masters like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and the two chief and deputy bodyguards, as well as outstanding young talents like Yan Xing, Yelida, Wu Ze, and Tuoba Liwei. Whether it is his personal safety or the safety of the entire army, His attack ability is trustworthy, not to mention that the more than a thousand elites not only have his own bodyguards, but also Xiliang cavalry and foreign cavalry commanded by Lu Bu.
If you include two more, Su Xiaoluoli and Luo He, who are probably at the outer level, as well as Jia Xu, Han Hao, and Li Shushi as staff officers, the equipment of the team of more than a thousand people can be called luxurious. And this is not counting. Look at Wang Ling, Wang Chang, Guan Qiu Xing, Jia Kui and Xiao Sima Yi. Although they are still lacking in experience and ability, it is difficult to say that they are not capable of a flash of inspiration.
The only people who are a little worried may be the family members of the senior leaders of the Bingzhou Army. However, with Ma Qing's calmness and the increasingly young and mature Liao Chun in charge, the fighting power of the Detachment of Women may be very terrifying, but not necessarily.
After arranging everything, the advance team led by Li Shushi embarked on the road north without stopping.
The Silk Road is an ancient commercial trade route that started from Chang'an, the political, economic and cultural center of ancient China, and connected Asia, Africa and Europe. It spans the Longshan Mountains, passes through the Hexi Corridor, passes through Yumen Pass and Yangguan, and reaches Xinjiang, along the oasis and the Pamir Plateau, passes through Central Asia, West Asia and North Africa, and finally reaches Africa and Europe. It is also a main road for economic, political and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Because of the large number of unique Chinese silk and silk fabrics Most of the goods were transported westward through this road, so it was called the Silk Road, or Silk Road for short.
The name Silk Road was coined by the German geographer F.P.W. Richthofen (or it can be called Ferdinand von Richthofen. Children's shoes who are familiar with European names should be able to learn from the word "von" Understand the status of this German scholar) first proposed it in the book "China - The Results of My Travel" published in 1877. It originally refers to the silk trade between China and Central Asia, the inter-river area and India during the Han Dynasty. A transportation route that serves as the medium and main means. Later, the German Hutson wrote a monograph "Silk Road" based on years of research. Since then, the title Silk Road has been recognized by the world.
In fact, in a broad sense, the eastern section of the Silk Road has reached North Korea and Japan (Japan's copycat capabilities seem to have been deliberately ignored by many people), and the western section has reached France and the Netherlands. It can also reach Italy, Egypt, or all over the world by sea. The entire Roman Empire.
The traditional Silk Road can generally be divided into three sections, and each section can be roughly divided into three routes: north, middle, and south.
Among them, from Chang'an (extending to Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty) all the way northwest through the Hexi Corridor to Yumen Pass or Yangguan in Dunhuang County is the eastern section of the entire route. The entire territory is basically under the control of the Han Dynasty. Only the southern route needs to go deep into the Han and Qiang mixture. area.
Go west out of Yumenguan or Yangguan and go west to Congling. The area currently controlled by Wulei Kingdom belongs to the middle section. Its entire territory is within the scope of the Western Regions in our traditional sense, and Congling is what we are now familiar with. It is worth mentioning that the Pamir Plateau, where various frictions occurred, had another name in ancient times, namely Buzhou Mountain where Gonggong's collision caused the sky to collapse.
The above two sections of the Silk Road were basically formed by Zhang Qian's connection with the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty. However, due to various reasons, the western section did not form a large-scale trade route in the Western Han Dynasty. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that it gradually developed into a link to Central Asia, West Asia and even Europe.
Golden Road.
Among them, the eastern section located in Dahan, the three routes in the north, middle and south are also quite particular.
Most texts describing the eastern section of the Silk Road will describe it like this - "Start from Chang'an in the east, go west to Longban, pass through the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the Hexi Corridor, and exit Yumen Pass or Yangguan."
The four counties of Chang'an and Hexi are easy to find on the map. Yumenguan and Yangguan, as the gateways for exchanges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, can also be found on the maps of Dunhuang County or Liangzhou. However, "Longban" is completely missing on the map.
Can't see.
If you want to find out what this word means, you don't need to consult any ancient books, just go to the updated Chinese dictionary.
Xinhua Dictionary tells us: "Longban" and "Longban" are interchangeable, and the first explanation is Longshan.
Well, when you hear this name, if you still have some impressions of the fourth volume of this book, you will remember that Longguan, which divides Hanyang County and Youfufeng, and under Longshan, were once the administrative offices of the Liangzhou Governor.
Long County.
Of course, if you think that Upper Longban refers to passing Longguan, then you may still miss a whole route, because now Longshan refers to the southern section of Liupan Mountain in southern Ningxia and eastern Gansu, but in
In the Han Dynasty, this southern
The long and narrow Liupanshan mountain range in the north is called Longshan, and its highest peak on the north side, Liupanshan, is located in the center of the triangle formed by Xi'an, Yinchuan, and Lanzhou City. That is to say, it was within the Anding County of the Han Dynasty, about 30 kilometers from Longguan.
But it's a hundred kilometers away.
It is precisely because of this difference that the Silk Road, which obviously goes up Longban, passes through the Hexi Corridor and finally reaches Yumenguan or Yangguan, is divided into three routes: north, middle and south.
The northern route of the Silk Road ran from Chang'an (from Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty), along the Wei River to Guo County (today's Baoji), then extended along the Jing River to the north through Qi County (today's Long County), and crossed Liupan Mountain and Guyuan.
Hehaiyuan, along the ancient river course of the Zuli River (note), crossed the Yellow River at Jingyuan to Guzang (now Wuwei), and then extended all the way to Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang to Yumen Pass or Yangguan.
This route was the earliest road to the Western Regions opened by the Han Dynasty. Its biggest advantage is that it is the shortest road to the Western Regions, but other than that it has basically no benefits. The Zuli River and its upper reaches are close to the
The ancestral rivers on the route are also called bitter rivers because the strata in the basin contain a lot of saline and alkali, and the water tastes bitter and salty. At the same time, the river water in Wuwei has a high sand content, making it difficult to access, making it very difficult to replenish supplies after entering Wuwei.
This brings many unpredictable dangers.
The southern route starts from Chang'an (from Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty) along the Wei River, passes through Yong County (Jin Fengxiang), passes Longguan, Shanggui (today's Shui), Xiangwu (today's Longxi), Didao (today's Lintao), and Huhan (today's Lintao)
Pro
Xia** Autonomous Prefecture), leaving Heguan in the north (the area at the junction of today's Yongjing and Linxia), crossing the Yellow River, passing through Linqiang and Anyi areas (Jinxining area), and crossing Yue Doubagu (now Biandukou) to Zhangye.
Compared with the northern route, which has a dangerous environment, the southern route is undoubtedly much richer in water and grass. There are also many people and herdsmen along the way. It is very easy to get supplies, and you can also do some trade with various ethnic minorities along the way. But firstly, it is a long way, and secondly, it is north of here.
After leaving Heguan, even if you walk in Jincheng County, it is still a mixed area of Han and Hu. Not to mention that the section before crossing Dadou Bugu is basically controlled by the Qiang people. It is easy to be attacked by unknown alien tribes. In terms of safety,
Somewhat worrying.
As a result, over time, a central line was formed that was shorter than the southern route, easier to supply than the northern route, and safer throughout.
In fact, the distance of the middle line is not a fixed route, but the result of merchants' compromise based on their own needs after combining the north and south routes. It can be said that as long as the route is in the middle of the area on the edge of the north and south routes, it can be regarded as the middle line.
There are two main routes that are more common:
One of them was initially more inclined to the northern route, but after crossing Longshan from Wushi (today's Pingliang), it did not go north to Guyuan, but went west to the current Huining area, and then turned north from Jincheng County (today's Lanzhou)
, cross the southeastern end of Lenglong Ridge, the northern branch of the Qilian Mountains at the junction of Wuwei County and Jincheng County, and the Wushaoling Ridge, the natural boundary between the Longzhong Plateau and the Hexi Corridor, to reach Guzang, the administrative seat of Wuwei County.
The other branch separates from the southern line at Shanggui, passes through Longshan, reaches Jincheng County, crosses the Yellow River, follows the Zhuanglang River, and crosses Wushaoling to Guzang. In other words, the two routes have actually overlapped each other starting from Jincheng County.
, the same is generally true for other routes in the middle line.
"I'm telling you it's true. What on earth do you want to do by talking so much to the air over there?"
The war horses galloped on the official road. Although there were only a thousand people, there were more than two thousand war horses. They were obviously equipped for one person and two horses. Except for a few magical BMWs that could make people drool - in fact, there were also
There are only Li Shushi who rides the yellow claws and Miss Luo He who rides Lu. For the horse-loving Lu Bu, even though he knows that the red rabbit horse can travel thousands of miles without losing breath, he is still equipped with a good horse.
War horses as a replacement.
It was precisely because of this that he had the time to joke about Li Shushi, who had been talking to the sunset since just now and had no idea what he was talking about. Although he knew very well that Li Shushi was always distracted in daily life.
hobby".
"Ah...this...this..."
"Can't you make it up?" A sweet voice came from behind Li Shushi.
Well, in fact, if the children's shoes who are watching carefully have discovered that Lu, who was originally supposed to be Su Xiaololi's mount, has now become Luo He's mount, then where did Su Xiaololi, as the owner, go? The enemy~ of course he has arrived.
Li Shushi's death - speaking of such a beautiful thing, it is a plot that Li Shushi has been looking forward to for a long time in more than 30 years of his life.
Su Xiaololi's amazing figure and the rhythmic bumping of the war horse when galloping... Well, it's better to deal with the nosebleeds first, otherwise be careful and the HP will drain~
Probably because Zhen Qing, who is also the head wife, "actively attacked" that day, Su Xiaololi felt a sense of crisis. Especially when she saw the lolita control Li Shushi looking happy when she was carrying Zhen Xiaololi on her back, Su Xiaololi was even more excited.
She said that she is also a loli and her fighting ability is absolutely better than that of all normal loli. No, this is another benefit for Li Shushi.
Sure enough, monopoly is not necessary, only competition can lead to progress.
"Ahem... I'm definitely not thinking about feeling comfortable or anything... No, no, I'm thinking about whether we should stay in Hanyang."
"Hanyang?" Lu Bu said he didn't quite understand.
"It's a good place there..."
Speaking of this, many people had looks of nostalgia on their faces, although perhaps they missed the same things.
Note: The source of the Zuli River comes out of the north side of Huajialing. There are two upper sources: the south source Li River is fresh water, and the east source Zu River is bitter water. After the current river course merged in the south of Huining County, it was originally called Zuli River, north to west.
It flows to the west of Jingyuan County and flows into the Yellow River.
The two rivers in the Han Dynasty intersected near Zuli County in the Han Dynasty, northwest of Huining County and southwest of Jingyuan County. It is thought that the demise of Zuli County and the rise of Huining County should be closely related to the continuous southward movement of the intersection of the two rivers.
relationship.
PS: Today is the day when the Arab League (referred to as the Arab League) was established in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. My father said that when Egypt was at its peak, it was not named Egypt at all, and was basically directly called the Arab League. Times have changed, and it was once prosperous.
The organization is now riddled with holes. So the great man said it well - if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and development is the last word.
PS2: Today is also the day when the famous German poet, playwright and thinker Goethe passed away. People who like European literature and European philosophy will definitely be familiar with this name. "Faust" can be called philosophy to a certain extent.
This work is a must-read for young people who plan to become literary youth.
PS3: It is said that several countries in East Asia are working hard to develop large icebreaking transport ships to open up new routes. This is a good thing. At least the distance from East Asia to the United Kingdom, Northern Europe and even Germany can be shortened considerably. At least the Bering Strait should be more spacious.
.
Having said this, I have to mention one more thing. Many people have been enthusiastic about the Malacca Dilemma. Although I think there is a little bit of global war thinking (there is no need to worry about the Cold War here), but in this case, let me also mention a term, and interested children can do it.
Figure it out for yourself: The Andaman Dilemma.
In fact, the blockade of Malacca does have a great impact on water transportation in East Asia, but it is not completely without solutions. At least the narrowest point of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand is only 56 kilometers. If Singapore were not a Chinese country, China could
Let Singapore become a dead city, just like what China is preparing to do in Ecuador.
But Andaman is different. This archipelago belonging to India is just east of the Bay of Bengal, and the Nicobar Islands just block the Andaman Bay, which is the western channel of the Strait of Malacca and adjacent to the Kra Isthmus. Among them, Blair is located in South Andaman Island
The port is a very good deep-water port, and its strategic position is extremely important. If there is a war, the only way to block it is to block it, and the effect will probably not be any weaker than that of Singapore.
Well, that's it, that's it~
