"The old Qin is brave, restore our rivers and mountains - there is the great Qin in the east, and it is rising like the sun!" This exciting war song echoed along the Silk Road and lasted for a long time.

The distance from Chang'an at the eastern end of the Silk Road to the Middle East in the eastern part of the Mediterranean is no less than thousands of miles, and the journey has to pass through several countries with different religious beliefs, as well as endless difficulties and obstacles in nature, but all of this is

The high morale and fearless courage of the Qin army's officers and men were nothing.

After the Qin army passed through and occupied places such as Parthia, Seleucid, and Persia, more and more Qin people began to come to the West to seek gold. The stable situation and social and economic development in the Central Plains resulted in a continuous expansion of the population.

, in order to obtain more and better living conditions, Qin people continued to take risks and followed the Western Expedition army.

"What's there to be afraid of? The places where Emperor Shenwu can go, why can't we go?" With this idea in mind, many Qin people packed their luggage and embarked on the unknown journey to the west.

Mid September.

Mesopotamia, the city of Babylon.

The Qin Army of the Western Expedition crossed the Asian continent and finally chose the fertile and beautiful Mesopotamia Plain as the base camp of the Western Expedition. This plain once gave birth to a splendid civilization, but in the long historical stage that followed, it became like

A dusty pearl, forever forgotten in the darkness.

Li Yuan's base camp was stationed in the city, and a total of 50,000 elite Qin troops were scattered on both sides of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. They took one school, one lord, and one team as units to bring one indigenous town after another under the control of the Qin army.

Next. When Chang'an City ushered in the morning early, it had not yet woken up from the darkness, and there were not many people on the streets of Babylon City.

Since they were successively occupied by Persia, Macedonia, Seleucid and even Egypt, the ancient Babylonians who originally lived here had been slaughtered long ago, leaving only a mixed group of people with no historical origins and a sense of belonging. The Persians

, among the Egyptians, Serbs and the Messonia who have lived here since early on. They have different religious beliefs and are full of conflicts between them. For them, the arrival of the Qin army is just another participant.

That’s all.

The food produced in the fertile plains of Mesopotania can provide necessary supplies for the Qin expeditionary force. However, with the arrival of more and more Qin people, the indigenous people here will gradually fade out and then disappear in the long river of history.

, at that time, the Mesopotamia area may become the second hometown of the Eastern yellow people.

After the Industrial Revolution, European white people traveled all over the world and occupied most of the resources on the planet. However, although the Chinese created a civilization that lasted for more than 5,000 years, they have always stuck to their own

On one-third of an acre, I have never taken a step.

Such a result makes China in the 21st century even harder to move toward the ocean, because the Chinese have few reliable allies all over the world.

Therefore, what Li Yuan wants to do today is not a meaningless and arrogant move. It is to continuously expand the living space of the race and nation and give the descendants of Yan and Huang the spirit of continuous progress, never being satisfied, and daring to face all challenges. This is Li Yuan.

The original decision was the whole meaning of the Western Expedition.

We take advantage of the weak enemy.

In the Mesopotamia area, the Arabs have not yet risen, and the people here are in an era of lack of faith, which just gives the opportunity for the spread of Eastern civilization.

The strong occupation of the army, the rapid spread of Tianshi Dao, and then the influx of a large number of new immigrants. I believe that in the next ten years, the immigrant cities in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia that are controlled by the Qin army and whose residents are mostly Qin people will gradually

To prosper, and this is what Li Yuan wants to see most.

The West Asia and the Middle East will be the powder keg of the Middle East in later generations, with endless wars between Arabs and Jews. The cause of all this is not only the rich underground oil resources that people are eager to obtain, but also the accumulation of more than thousands of years.

Down the historical feud.

Li Yuan also has a special liking for oil, a non-renewable natural energy source. You must know that in the 21st century, China is still trapped by oil, and with the development of social economy, this situation will still exist.

It is getting worse, and to change all this, now is the time.

The Qin people could take advantage of the victory in the Western Expedition and turn the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia into another fertile land for Qin through repeated immigration. As long as they established a firm foothold in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia, the oil resources here would be of great help to them.

For the oil-poor Qin State, it is the best supplement to develop scientific and technological power.

——.

Western part of the Anatolian Peninsula.

The northern end of the Greek Peninsula, later Bulgaria, and Romania, where the Thracians were the main settlement group. Most of them lived on both sides of the Eurasian Strait, and some lived on many small islands in the Black Sea, living a half-fishing, hunting, and half-farming life.

primitive life.

195 BC, late September.

The Huns who were fleeing in all directions fled here under the pursuit of the Qin army. Along the way, Helianbi's tribe was separated as they continued to move westward. Their despair for the future and their dissatisfaction with the Great Chanyu's escape from the battle continued to accumulate.

Finally, one after another Xiongnu tribe abandoned the large army and chose to escape individually.

Some of them chose to return eastward, hoping to return to the Mobei area where their ancestors lived. Even though it had become the territory of Qin, it could not prevent them from returning. As for surrendering to the Qin people, this made the Huns feel ashamed.

, but as long as the survival of the entire tribe can be preserved, this grievance is nothing.

In addition, some Huns chose to flee to the north, where the natural conditions were even worse, and the ice sheet area put forward more stringent requirements for the reproduction of the tribe. However, the Huns obviously had no time to take this into consideration at this time. They just wanted to

How to get rid of the Qin army's pursuit.

Helianbi, the Bank of China said that this pair of brothers and sisters tried to seize a port from the Thracians in the Eurasian Strait, and then led the army to continue to move westward. The Thracians were not polite to this group of bandits from afar.

They fought back, and a big battle broke out between the two sides in the Strait.

The outcome of the war was surprising.

The Huns, who had always performed well, actually suffered a defeat in this battle. The great Dan Yu Helianbi was defeated by the Thracians. More than 16,000 of his followers were wiped out, and he himself was also defeated.

He was captured by the Thracians and later taken to the Thracian residence of Xiaoshou.
