"Princess Anna is very beautiful and charming. But restarting the Silk Road is a big deal, and the Song Dynasty needs to make more preparations." Zhao Huan explained with a smile.

Anna changed to Hungarian and asked Humbert in confusion: "Did my figure become unattractive after a journey of thousands of miles? Or did the wind and sand along the way make my face look like aging?"

"Why can this Emperor of Song Dynasty actually stop my charm?"

Zhao Huan looked at the subtitles helplessly. What language do you change to? Can I translate this system in this system be good?

Humbert replied: "I heard that there were three thousand concubines in the palace of the Central Plains dynasty."

"Is there so much? Can he be busy?" Anna looked at the Emperor of Song Dynasty in surprise.

"How could there be three thousand people?" Zhao Huan shook his head helplessly and said, "After my court discussion, I will give the princess a reply."

"Do you still understand Hungarian?" Anna's face was no longer just surprised. How could this emperor know everything.

And Zhao Huan was too lazy to understand it briefly.

Yuwen Xuzhong smiled and said, "I would like to ask the envoy to go to the inn to rest. If there is any news, I will notify you."

"Looking forward to meeting His Majesty again." Anna politely left Wende Hall.

"What do you think about sending an envoy to the Roman Empire?" Zhao Huan looked at the geoscope map and sighed.

Yuwen Xuzhong nodded and said, "It's not impossible. Before this, the Liao Kingdom obtained a large amount of silk and tea through the court, which were sold to the Western Regions and the Great Qin. Without the Hexi Corridor, leaving from Shangjing Road is also a good choice."

"Chen Dong?" Zhao Huan asked in confusion.

Yuwen Xuzhong thought about it and said, "It's feasible."

"I don't know the specific situation there, so I'll send someone to ask." Zhao Huan said.

"Ah snee." Chen Dong suddenly sneezes. He touched his nose. The wind and sand on the grassland were too strong.

He looked at the Tianshan Mountains in the distance and took a deep breath. The official sent him to test the defense of Qinghe City.

He successfully accepted the defense of Qinghe City.

Yelu Dashi ran very quickly, and Qinghe City did not leave anyone to defend.

Chen Dong looked at the mountain pass in the distance. On both sides of the mountain pass were tall cliffs and lush trees. Outside the mountain pass, there was a rushing river, and this river was called Chu River.

In the upper reaches of the Chu River, there is a city-state located in the former Tang Dynasty's important town, Suoye City.

This business road called Tianshan Corridor has an eternal business road, which is a business road that bypasses the Hexi Corridor, but there is a roadblock on this business road.

That is Yelu Dashi.

After Yelu Dashi was defeated by Kelie's troops near Zhenzhou, he completely withdrew from the east of Tianshan Mountain. While dominating the Western Regions, Sailye City was also under the control of Yelu Dashi.

This locked down the possibility that Song Dynasty wanted to continue to explore the westward business path.

"The official family is lying! There is no gold mountain here! It has been dug up by its predecessors!" Chen Chong looked at the towering Tianshan Mountain and sighed.

Jinshan was mined in the former Han Dynasty. It has been dug up all the time.

Following the Tianshan Mountains, you can reach Saiye City, and then enter the Seljuk Empire through Saiye City, and you will completely open up the trade route to the Western world. Chen Dong's plan to come here.

Although the business road from Qinghe City to Zhenzhou to Datong was already very safe, the merchants in the Song Dynasty were still blocked by the Khitans.

In the past, Shangjing Road was in the hands of the Khitans, and the goods transported to the Western Regions of the Song Dynasty were scraped a layer by the Khitans. Now, Shangjing Road was in the hands of the Song Dynasty, and the commercial goods were scraped a layer by the Khitans.

It's really hateful!

Chen Dong looked at the Tianshan Pass not far away and asked Niu Gao beside him: "Commander Niu, do you think we can rely on these five thousand people to capture the Thunder Ye City?"

Niu Gao nodded, looked into the distance and said, "I think it's OK."

Chen Dong laughed loudly, hammered Niu Gao hard, and said with a laugh: "Okay, don't dream anymore. Let's go back to Qinghe City."

"What I said is true, Master Chen." Niu Gao scratched his head and said with a silly smile.

Yelu Dashi's hands were all young and middle-aged Khitans. They had at least 50,000 cavalry, about 80,000 main troops, more than 100,000 auxiliary troops, and hundreds of thousands of horses. Only with such combat power could they be powerful in the Western Regions.

Niu Gao and Chen Dong went to beat Yelu Dashi, and undoubtedly smashed the stone with eggs and hit the stone with eggs.

Niu Gao sneered, strangled the horse, and returned to Qinghe City.

Qinghe City has typical Western-style buildings, towering spires surrounded by oval roofs, towering stone pillars and arched buildings, all over it.

But that was a high-end building that only the divine servants had. The common people in the city didn’t even have a bungalow. They randomly dug holes in the walls and built irregular bluestones to call them home.

The people here have a hard life. As more and more caravans have traveled from Qinghe to Zhenzhou recently, and then through the straight road from Zhenzhou to Datong Prefecture, Qinghe City has become a little more prosperous.

Chen Dong himself was just a scholar, and he learned how to ride a horse when he was here on the road to Beijing.

He looked at the increasingly taller city walls, and the caravans that kept entering the city at the gate frowned and said, "If you can collect the city's expenses, it will undoubtedly be a gold mine, but it's a pity that the government will not allow the city's expenses to be collected."

"If we collect the city fee, we will be driven away." Niu Gao shook his head and reminded.

Their role in this city is more like a manager than a owner.

There are very few Han people here, and the Sogdians live here, who are brave and aggressive.

"Dear Han envoy, I heard that you have visited the Tianshan Pass. If there is a need, please give me instructions. Arslan is willing to obey the orders of the envoy." A red-headed Sogdian blocked Chen Dong and his party's way forward.

The Sogdians were good at doing business and were famous merchants on the Silk Road. It was their nature to pursue profits. There was a saying among the Sogdians that "A husband went to another country at the age of 20, and his profits were all there to do." It was their nature to not be able to afford profits.

The Sogdians had a more familiar name in the Central Plains, called the Jiu surname of Zhaowu.

And the Sogdian, named Arslan, keenly noticed the owner of the city and was troubled.

This is an opportunity for them.

"It is our trouble now to convince Juerhan to open the trade route to Seljuk. Prince Arslan, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Dong asked with a smile.

Arslan had only half of Sogdian blood. His mother was a Turkman and his father was the king of Huoxun, a vassal state of the Seljuk Empire.

Huoxun Kingdom is what Chen Dong called them, and they prefer to be called the flower thorn model.

Arslan humbly put his hand on his chest and said, "Angel Chen, I have a Han name, Shi's name Kang, and his courtesy name Lida. Our Huoxun Kingdom was once a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and was once given the surname Shi by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The respected Han envoy."

Shi Kang is a Chinese name for Arslan.

Chen Dong had a lot of dealings with Shi Kang, so he naturally knew his Chinese name, but the purpose of his name was just for the convenience of business.

"Dear Han envoy, are you worried that the caravans of the Song Dynasty were intercepted by Juerkang? Isn't it enough to just pay a fee when passing through Suiye City?" Arslan helped Chen Dong down from the horse and asked in confusion.

It is a good idea to pay taxes to the other party through other people's territory.

The sovereignty and ownership of Qinghe City is controversial, so everyone does not pay taxes in Qinghe City, but when they go to a diner in Zhenzhou or Datong Prefecture, the tax will be compensated.

Arslan didn't know why Chen Dong was worried about what he was.

Chen Dong glanced at Niu Gao and sneered: "Prince Arslan is really pretending to be confused. Who has never heard of it? Anyone can pass the Saiye City, but the Han caravans cannot pass the Saiye City?"

Yelu Dashi completely experienced the demise of the Liao Kingdom. In this process, the role played by the Song Dynasty was very disgraceful.

Moreover, Yelu Dashi once fought with three thousand to one hundred thousand on Yanjing Road, and flew a hundred miles away.

This Juerkang Yelu Dashi looked down on the Song people from the bottom of his heart.

The current caravans of the Song people can only go to Qinghe City. As long as they cross the Tianshan Pass, they will be killed by the Khitans.

Therefore, the Song people's caravans in Qinghe City would be handed over to the Sogdians to continue to go west. Most of the profits were divided by the Khitans and Sogdians.

That's why Chen Dong said that Arslan pretended to be confused because he understood.

Arslan smiled humbly and said, "The fly sips of honey will die in sweetness. Today, Juerhan will attack the Song people, and tomorrow will also attack me the Sogdians."

"I am willing to help Angel Chen once. I know a road that can bypass Shattered Ye City and enter the Seljuk Empire."

Chen Dong looked at Arslan's firm expression and said with a smile: "You Sogdians have a famous saying that sometimes, the price one pays for what one does not spend money is often higher."

"I don't know what Prince Arslan wants?"

Arslan held Chen Dong and said with a dim expression: "The Seljuk Empire was an empire established by the Seljuk Turks."

"Seljuk's grandson: Tugluk Burke, who defeated the Kingdom of Gasseni, Persia successively and occupied the entire Persian territory, and entered Baghdad. Tugluk Burke was honored as the Sultan, meaning the king of the East and the West."

"Chan Angel, there is a saying in the East that there will be prosperity and decline. If the prosperity and collapse are rapid, how can you say it?"

Chen Dong thought for a while and said, "Its rise is also thriving, and its fall is also suddenly."

Arslan nodded repeatedly and said, "It's worthy of being a scholar from the Eastern Dynasty. It's this sentence. I haven't heard of the king's transformation for a long time. I only have a few words left to do business in my Sinology, which made Angel Chen laugh."

"The Seljuk Empire in Tugluk Burke was the most prosperous time, and the Seljuk Empire was even able to threaten Byzantium. But with his death, the Seljuk quickly became weaker."

"Forty years ago, Nizam Mulek, the last king of the Seljuk Empire, was assassinated and killed in Persian territory. The Seljuk Empire fell apart, and many royal descendants were divided around major city-states."

"We have a hard time with Huoxun Kingdom. If the Song Empire can bring the heavenly soldiers to the Caspian Sea one day, please help us Huoxun Kingdom."

"For me and my family, it is a very good deal for me and my family."
