Chapter 56: According to the Longxi Corridor, which connects the states of the Western Regions, Hu Di is trapped on the steppe and desert

"Father, you will live forever."

Fusu's eyes showed sadness and said solemnly.

"Silly kid, how can anyone live forever in this world?"

Ying Zheng sighed and said a little sigh.

"Others can't do it, but my father is the saint of eternal lord, and he will be able to live with the heavens forever."

Fusu was stubborn and said firmly.

"Maybe!"

Ying Zheng smiled and was not tangled with this issue. He looked at the map and said to Fusu: "This is Longxi, and less than a hundred miles away from the Xiong Pass is the territory of Yuezhi. If the Qin Dynasty wants to trade with the Western Regions, the Longxi Corridor is a must-pass place."

"Father, why have you never heard of the Longxi Corridor?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment and said in confusion.

"Dilan County, Longxi County [now Lanzhou] is an important town on the border of the western border of the Great Qin Dynasty. From Dilan, it is Wushaoling, which is between the Qilian Mountains and Mazong Mountains in the north and south, and when it reaches Dunhuang in the west, it is the Longxi Corridor."

Ying Zheng held the torch in his right hand and his left hand lined the map to Dilan and ended in Dunhuang.

"Father, the Longxi Corridor, from the map, is at least a thousand miles long. Such a narrow and long road requires hundreds of thousands of troops to guard it, right?"

"Is it worth paying such great value to trade with the Western Regions?"

Fusu was puzzled and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Whether it is the Yuezhi that occupies the Qilian Mountains, the Xiongnu who cruiss in Yin Mountains, or the Donghu that surrounds the north, it has been a big trouble in the Central Plains for thousands of years."

"The Western Regions are rich in resources and fertile land. Trade is only secondary. It is connected to the Western Regions based on the Longxi Corridor, and Hu Di is trapped on the grassland and desert."

"Hu Di was born in a bitter and cold place, and made a living by plundering animal husbandry. The water plants were prosperous in spring and summer without worries, and the water plants withered in autumn and winter became deserted. Strengthen the heroic passes between the east and west, build a fortress of thousands of miles, and make every step into camp, and the walls were cleared in the wilderness. Hu Di collapsed without fighting."

"Westernly bridden the Qiang people, and the army that promoted the kingly way was established. We followed Kunlun as a barrier, and used all the essence of Bashu, and drove the Qiang people to the Xihai [now Qinghu], and cut off the Qiang Di's connection."

Ying Zheng's fingers on this map kept moving, explaining to Fusu.

"The father wants to use troops again?"

Fusu was very surprised. After all, his father issued an edict to resign and support the people!

"I just let you understand the direction of the future Qin Dynasty and don't rush for a moment."

"The tribes of the Western Qiang are not worthy of trouble, and the Hu Di in the north fights on their own. Although it is a disaster for the Qin Dynasty, it is not worthy of fear."

Ying Zheng patiently taught Fusu.

"The boy understands, the father is wise."

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief. If the battle started again, it would be a disaster for the creatures again, and it was not what he wanted.

"I didn't really hope that Yuezhi could give up the Longxi Corridor, but it was just a test."

Ying Zheng turned his eyes from the west to the north, and made a sensation.

"Why did the father send Jiang Lu to come?"

Fusu was confused again.

"There are many herders in the north, including the three major tribes of Yuezhi, the Xiongnu and the Donghu. Among these three tribes, Yuezhi is the weakest, and they are bullied by the Huns."

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, his eyes showing hope.

"Does the father want to conquer Yuezhi?"

Fusu was a little shocked and said, "You must know that the Hu Di in the north is very cruel and barbaric, so how easy is it to subdue it?"

"The Yuezhi occupied the Longxi Corridor and occupied the fertile soil of the West Sea. It could seize the wealth of the Western Regions from the west, and it could plunder the grain of the Qin Dynasty when it went south. Although it was small, it was rich."

"If it weren't for the time of life and death, and when the clan was destroyed and the land was destroyed, how could he bow down to others?"

Ying Zheng laughed in silence.

"Without conquering or trading in the Western Regions, isn't what the father did useless?"

Fusu became even more confused and confused, looking at Ying Zheng, he was puzzled.

"If you are the King of Yuezhi and see that the aquatic plants are about to wither, what do you want most?"

Ying Zheng asked intriguedly.

this……

Fusu shows a careful and meditation, and the herdsmen all grazed livestock to make a living. When autumn and winter come, they naturally worry about livestock and grass?

"forage."

After figuring it out, Fusu almost blurted out.

"It's just one of them. The Yuezhi people only have animal husbandry and do not cultivate the fields. They only feed on slaughtering livestock for the long autumn and winter, and the grains of Guanzhong are the second."

"Either the grasslands of the Qilian Mountains or the Xihai grasslands are all places for the Yuezhi people to livestock. Although the water and grass are fertile, the materials are scarce. All kinds of daily necessities in Guanzhong are things that they cannot find, and this is the third one."

Ying Zheng added.

"The father's insight into the overall situation and meticulousness is not enough for the child."

Fusu was convinced and praised him sincerely.

"The general sent a mission to Yuezhi, bringing ten thousand stones of grain, a thousand pieces of cloth, a hundred chariots of utensils, ten boxes of goods, and one order."

Ying Zheng took Fusu back to the high platform of the main hall and said as he walked.

"Father, isn't this a foe?"

Fusu was very puzzled. How could the wise and wise man do such a thing as the father?

"Look at the long-term perspective and do not limit a corner of the land. If you want to take it, you must give it first. Don't talk about this little material, one day, the land will be the territory of the Great Qin, and the herdsmen will become the people of the Great Qin."

"Since it is the land of the Great Qin and the people of the Great Qin, as a king, you must naturally enjoy the rain and dew, and you cannot be biased."

Ying Zheng said meaningfully.

Fusu was shocked immediately, and his father's words made him irrefutable.

"Does the Father want to win over Yuezhi?"

It was only then that Fusu truly understood the intention of his father.

"It is only in line with the interests of the Qin Empire to silence the army and support the people."

Ying Zheng could not refuse.

Fusu deeply agrees, but I'm afraid it's more than that?

If the alien races on the grassland are united, they may become strong enemies of the Qin Dynasty.

A plate of loose sand will save a lot of trouble when packing it up in the future.

The strategy of the Qin Dynasty to destroy the six kingdoms was based on this, and they were in contact with each other and attacked each other, and they were divided and destroyed one by one.

"I understand, thank you for your father's teachings."

Fusu bowed again and said seriously.

"Just understand. After the country calms down, you only need to welcome back four things to go to sea, which will be a success."

Ying Zheng picked up a book from the wooden platform next to the throne and handed it to Fusu.

Fusu quickly stood up, walked towards Ying Zheng, took the book, and the five big words "Strange Food and Anecdotes" came into view.

"Father, this is this?"

Fusu held the book in his hand and asked Ying Zheng.

"Open and take a look."

Ying Zheng smiled and said.

Fusu immediately took the order, opened the book, and immediately saw a vivid painting and the comments below.

Sweet potatoes are produced on the other side of the ocean, in a warm place on the Indian continent. The roots of the buried ground have a round, oval or spindle shape.

The stems also rise flat, occasionally entangled, mostly branches, leaf shapes and colors often vary according to the land. They are usually broad-ovate, petioles have different lengths, cymes have axillary axils, capsules have ovate or flat round, one to four seeds, two generally, and hairless.

Potato……

corn……

black pepper……

tomato……

There are about a hundred kinds of things that Fusu has never heard of or seen.

After reading it, Fusu had an illusion that he was like a frog in a well, and he knew how great the world was...
