The Shen Bing then asked Jing to take one hundred cavalry and three hundred horses to the Western Regions to look for tribe members and the people of the Western Regions who were willing to surrender to the northern region.
Because he was worried about meeting the Huns who had no time to withdraw on the road, the group dressed up as envoys.
In addition, Shen Bing also made a special trip to buy more than 200 pieces of silk from Yanmen County.
Silk may be pretty good in the Central Plains. As mentioned earlier, only nine silks were replaced with one horse.
But as the saying goes, things are rare and expensive. The price of bringing them to the Western Regions will immediately increase by dozens of times. If you take them to Rome again... you will have to be able to afford it if you don’t eat or drink for seven years.
Therefore, bringing silk is a wealth, not gold, silver, or horses... Among them, especially horses, there are many good horses in the Western Regions, and if you bring horses with you, you may even depreciate.
At that time, you can use this wealth to recruit tribesmen and people in the Western Regions, and then purchase the food and grass needed for your return.
Li Yan was following behind the group.
Li Yan brought 50,000 Hanoi soldiers to the Hexi Corridor, which was abandoned by the Huns, and the speed was fast...
The Hexi Corridor is not uninhabited.
In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yuezhi was very close to the Central Plains, to be precise, to be precise, it was just west of Qin State. Then to the north, the Xitao and the eastern part of the Hexi Corridor were all boundaries of the Yuezhi, and the west of the Hexi Corridor, Zewusun.
However, after the Huns became strong, they first captured Houtao, and then captured the Xitao of Yuezhi to the south and drove it to the Hexi Corridor.
The Yuezhi area became smaller and smaller and pushed westward, and drove away the Wusun Kingdom, which was smaller than it.
So they drove the Yuezhi out of the Hexi Corridor and Wusun rushed to Central Asia.
If the Qin army was too late to accept it, Shen Bing was worried that Yuezhi would reoccupate the Hexi Corridor.
It is very important to occupy a lot of land. This important passage is occupied by the Yuezhi, which will not only prevent the Qin army from forming an alliance with the Yuezhi, but may also become an enemy...
Later, Chen Bing realized that this worry was unnecessary.
Because Yuezhi is much richer outside the Hexi Corridor than before, she is unwilling to enter the undeveloped land of the Hexi Corridor again.
Just as Shen Bing was preparing and operating Wuyuan in various ways, Fusu delivered a letter to Shen Bing and said:
"Father, let us rush to Mount Tai immediately!"
Shen Bing couldn't help but say:
"Tarzan?"
"Is it possible that there are still bandits in Qi State that have not been eliminated?"
Mount Tai belongs to the original Qi State, so Shen Bing's first reaction was to let him suppress the bandits.
But Fusu shook his head and said:
"No, it's the father who held the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai!"
Shen Bing said "Oh".
He knew that Feng was to sacrifice to heaven and Zen was to sacrifice to the earth.
Fengshan is the ceremony of the emperor worshiping heaven and earth in a peaceful and prosperous era or auspicious times.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is sacrificed or not. Instead, Ying Zheng wants to report his merits to heaven and earth, and show that he has fulfilled his merits and should reward him almost anything.
The reason why we wanted to be in the Taishan Mountains was because the ancients believed that Taishan was the highest mountain in the world, and the peak of Taishan was closest to the immortals in the sky.
Uh... Chen Bing wanted to say that the highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. If you want to get closer to the sky, you should go there.
But if you say this, it will cause trouble... With the current conditions, wouldn't you seek death if you want to climb Mount Everest?
So Chen Bing would better keep his mouth shut tightly.
In fact, Ying Zheng encountered a headache in Mount Tai.
There are few emperors who have held Fengshan rituals since ancient times. Even King Wei of Qi wanted Fengshan to be dissuaded by Guan Zhong and failed to do so... This Fengshan is not just an ordinary emperor, but King Wei of Qi in principle He is just a prince, why should he be Fengshan?!
Because the Fengshan ceremony has not been held for a long time, no one knows how to do this.
Ying Zheng even gathered Confucian scholars, alchemists and others to discuss, but they all argued and argued endlessly.
Some say they have to walk up the mountain, some say they can take a car, but to avoid being shocked by the immortals, they must wrap their wheels with grass, and some say they need to bow a few steps. The ceremony is full of strange things, no one can accept anyone.
In fact, if Ying Zheng only looked for one of the schools, such as Confucian scholars, or asked the alchemist to decide, he would not have this problem. He would just fool the program and it would come out.
However, Ying Zheng wanted to focus on the broader meaning and invited a few people to develop a "most correct" solution? So an irreconcilable contradiction arose.
At this time, Ying Zheng thought of Shen Bing.
Among all the alchemists and Confucian scholars? What Ying Zheng actually believes most is Shen Bing.
Because there is a saying that "the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked", the more expert you are, the less you will be able to tell your identity.
Chen Bing did not tell his identity? And all aspects proved that Chen Bing had a relationship with the gods? This even went through actual combat tests...
Then what else is there to say? Of course, Shen Zhan must make the decision.
But he was worried that Mingwen would make the immortal unhappy? So he called Fusu and Shen Bing together... In fact, there is a reason to call Fusu. He is a continuing member of the Qin Dynasty? Of course, he also has to accompany him.
This made Chen Bing and Fusu suffer.
It is two thousand five hundred miles from Wuyuan to Mount Tai? Even if you travel two hundred miles a day, it will take more than ten days.
However, Ying Zheng had already considered these things. He had ordered the post stations along the way to prepare soldiers, horses, wine and imperial guards to escort them.
Therefore, Chen Bing and Fusu can sleep in the car without worrying about it throughout the whole process, and even enjoy the treatment of ordering... When it is almost time to dinner, they will say to Yushou, and Yushou will let his personal guards ride a fast horse and make people come to the front. Prepare.
Originally, Chen Bing thought it was a treasure of the young master Fusu? Later, when he talked to Fusu, he found out that Fusu was also strange. He had never enjoyed this before.
How could Chen Bing know that this was actually Fusu’s benefit from his power... sent by the gods, so why wouldn’t it be easy to serve him?
Finally, Chen Bing and Fusu arrived at the foot of Mount Tai on the tenth day.
The first person Chen Bing met in the inn was Ma Shang... When Fusu was called away by his servant, Ma Shang appeared in front of Shen Bing's door.
"Brother Chen, long time no see!" Ma Shang bowed to Chen Bing with a smile and said, "I haven't tasted the delicious food made by Brother Chen for a long time, I miss you very much! I just heard that the general of the North has arrived here? Then he took the liberty to come and visit. .”
When Chen Bing heard this, he was really?
"Did Zanniao also come to participate in the Fengshan ceremony?" Chen Bing asked.
Ma Shang said "Oh":
"I am a mere sect, how can I be blessed to participate in the Fengshan ceremony?"
"It is reported that the general wants to raise horses in the north? Don't forget me!"
Chen Bing slapped his head, is that true? How could he forget about this Ma Shang?
So he said a little sorry:
"If Zan Niao forgives me, is it true that Beidi really needs business dealings? If Zan Niao doesn't dislike me, I can go to Beidi to help me!"
However, Ma Shang seemed to just say it casually and was not interested in this topic.
He continued to ask:
"Can the general know how this Fengshan should be carried out?"
