Nine hundred and eighty-sixth host and guest (1)(2/2)
Only by grinding away his edges and ambitions can he understand that being a peaceful Hou is a happy thing!
………………………………
When the army led by Zhang Yue slowly approached the trek.
A strange mission came from outside Yumen Pass thousands of miles away.
The leader of the mission was wearing a tangled clothing that was extremely rare even in the entire Western Regions.
It looks like it's just a piece of fabric hanging around the body.
But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that this kind of clothing design is very complicated.
It is not simply wrapping or hanging the cloth on the body, but it has been cut and modified, and many decorative needles and knots are used to fix the fabric in a matrix or round way to key positions such as waist, shoulders, and chest.
This is almost a kind of clothing that is comparable to the complexity of Chinese clothing.
This also means that the civilization behind this clothing may be as highly developed as the ancient Xia civilization, and has a series of complex and profound systems, cultures, and philosophy.
"Great Dionysus, please bless me, everything goes well!" The leader raised his head, looked back, and recalled the hardships he had along the way.
He prayed to the gods he believed in to give him shelter and help so that he could successfully reach the legendary Silk Country of his destination.
That great empire that was believed by his own king to be able to provide help and even develop into an ally!
He was sent by his king, Roman enemy, Mitra, and after the Achaemenid dynasty, the great king of the kingdom of Pentus, the noble king of Mitradite, seven years and six months ago, after the Achaemenid dynasty, the great king of the kingdom of the king Darius the Great, the noble king of Mitradite, who was believed to be the son of Dionysus, to go to the east to contact allies.
Initially his mission was to get in touch with the Bactricians who had lost contact with the entire Europa.
But when he arrived in Bactrice, he found that the glory of Alexander the Great had completely lost and became a paradise for barbarians named "Yuezhi".
The glory of the Greek gods has also disappeared from here.
The temples of the Ospilin gods were all pushed down.
Instead, a temple called the Buddha Sect was believed in by the Yuezhi people.
Fortunately, the Yuezhi people were very friendly to distant messengers like him, and many nobles received him very friendly.
He told him a lot of news that he didn't know before.
Among them, there is the exact news about the Silk Country in the East.
It made him know that there really is a giant in the East.
An empire that is unimaginable.
The Yuezhi people told him that the empire was very friendly and willing to be friends with everyone.
They have silk, spices, gold.
There was even an envoy from the Silk Country who arrived in the Yuezhi.
So the messenger returned to his country and reported his experience to his king Mitradati VI.
At that time, Mitradati VI showed no interest.
After all, the Silk Country is too far away!
Moreover, there is a barbarian country that is said to be extremely powerful.
However, four years ago, the king of the Cappadocia kingdom passed away. In order to obtain Cappadocia, his king broke with his original allies and eventually led to an extremely powerful enemy, Rome!
Cassius, the governor of Asia in Rome, led three powerful Roman legions to attack Cappadocia and forced his king to withdraw from the region.
This completely intensified the hostility between the Kingdom of Bendu and Rome.
So, in the following year, Mitradati VI formed an alliance with Tigrand II of Armenia and actively prepared for the war against Cappadocia.
At this time, Mitradati VI remembered the legend about the Silk Kingdom.
Because wars, especially wars against giants like Rome, require massive amounts of money and resources to maintain.
Even, to some extent, funds are the key to the victory or defeat of a war!
The silk and spices from the Silk Country can be used as a trump card.
So he was appointed as a messenger again and was assigned to dozens of entourages, embarking on the road to the east to find the Silk Country.
After a year, he arrived in Bad Creya from Bendu, and then with the help of the Yuezhi people, he passed through the mountains and plateaus and came to Dayuan, which was full of Greek culture.
In Dayuan, he received more information about the Silk Country.
Knowing the wealth and terror of this extremely powerful empire (more than ten years ago, they launched an army of more than 100,000 just because a king in Dayuan refused to sell them a good horse, crossed the road of tens of thousands of miles, attacked Dayuan, and forced the people of Dayuan to surrender and surrender).
This made the messenger even more excited!
All of them could establish ally relationships with such a powerful empire.
Then, the ambition of one's own king has a foundation for realization!
Defeat Rome, restore Greece, and rebuild the glory of Darius the Great and Alexander the Great!
However, when you go to Silk Country, you have to face the obstruction of the enemy of the Silk Country called the Huns!
Over the years he has been in Dayuan, he has tried and worked hard for more than ten times.
Unfortunately, I give up halfway every time.
The Huns firmly controlled the main roads to the Silk Country and blocked any land traffic that might be connected to the Silk Country.
All merchants and messengers could only buy expensive silks and spices through the Huns.
Of course, the envoy also heard that merchants from the Silk Country would appear in some countries.
Unfortunately, these people's goods are often bought by the nobles of these countries, and it is very difficult for outsiders to contact these silk people!
After waiting in Dayuan for two years, just when he was about to run out of patience and was planning to return to his country, he received news that the road to the east was already clear.
There was a problem within the barbarians, and it could no longer effectively prevent business travelers from traveling eastward.
After hearing the news, the envoy immediately brought his entourage and hired dozens of guides to set out from Dayuan.
Finally, he came to the border of the legendary Silk Country for the first time.
However……
Looking at the flying flag of the silk country on the gates and the Silk Country warriors who were constantly approaching.
The messenger suddenly thought of a question that he could not speak silk dialect...
