"Are you from Qin?" A man dressed in a foreigner's clothes asked. Wen Huoran? The other party has a beard.Because of the beard, I couldn't tell how old the other party was, but he was definitely young enough.
"Why do you speak our words?" The shopkeeper looked at the other party and asked in surprise.
"I am the Wusun person that your Qin State speaks of, Wusun." The other party said.
"Wusun people." After hearing the other party's introduction.All the members of the special team of Qin State immediately took out their weapons and pointed their guns at each other.
"I. I'm harmless to you, you guys." So many guns pointed at him.The other party was also stuttering from fright, but he still wanted to explain clearly.While the special team was walking south, they found a mud house built halfway up the mountain, so they went in to try their luck.
"Don't do anything." The shopkeeper waved his hand.Only then did everyone slowly lower the muzzles of their guns.But the muzzle will be aimed at the opponent's head again at any time.
"Who are you?" asked the shopkeeper.
"I'm from Wusun. A herdsman from Wusun." The other party heard the shopkeeper's inquiry.explained immediately.
"Grassing? What do you use for grazing?" The shopkeeper felt strange and asked.
"Oh, it's like this, one of my sheep got lost, and I'm here to find them." The other party explained.
"What's your name?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Upa," Upa said.
"I'm afraid?" said the shopkeeper.
"Upa. Upa," said Upa.
"Okay. Upa, I understand." The shopkeeper waved his hand to signal the other party to stop talking.
"There is a question, how do you know that we are from Qin?" said the shopkeeper at this time.
"I've seen you, you're good at fighting. We can't even fight," Upa said.
"More details." The shopkeeper said.
"I was a soldier in Wusun's army before," Upa said.
"We were defeated. I took advantage of the chaos to escape," Upa said.
"It turned out to be a deserter." A team member behind said disdainfully.
"I am a deserter, but you are too powerful. The fire-breathing thing made a sound: we are very scared, we can't resist at all, we can only retreat, retreat." Upa said painfully.
"En." The shopkeeper nodded, temporarily believing Upa's answer.
"Tell me about the surrounding situation?" asked the shopkeeper.
"What's going on around here?" Upa asked.
"Yes. Tell me about your situation." The shopkeeper said.
"This." Upa didn't know what to say.
"Just why did you say what we said?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Well, I have dealt with your people before. They are some businessmen. They are all engaged in arms trade. They are the guns in your hands. Guns." Upa gestured.
"That's what I tell them about you," Upa said.Upa's words are still a little awkward, but it sounds like the general meaning is still known.
"En." The shopkeeper nodded.
"Your people are very powerful, but they are very dishonest many times. They ambush and kill our people, so we hate them very much, but we can't beat you." Upa said and nodded , to signal the other party to continue talking ♀ something that he didn't want to hear.
"After I escaped and came back, I worked as a businessman for a while, but in the end, I almost died." Upa said.
The shopkeeper nodded, motioning for the other party to continue talking.
"However, the things from your country of Qin are good. For example, those glass, silk, and a kind of tea things sell very well here. And your arms. If you can get more In terms of arms, you can make a lot of money. However, you must have a very smart and cooperative counterparty, and you need to be particularly reliable." Upa said.
"Then where is Anxi Kingdom?" the shopkeeper asked at this time.
"The Anxi Kingdom is to the north of us. There is also the Dawan Kingdom, which is a small country in the Western Regions with a large area. Shule Cheshi and others are there." Upa said.
I was even more surprised to hear the cabinet here.They didn't realize that this man named Upa was talking about what they most wanted to know.
"Continue talking." As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a pen and paper and began to record.And others began to listen to the Upa.
"You Qin people are very powerful. We don't know how many of you there are, but we are no match for you when we unite. Many people have been defeated. Not only us Wusun people, Yuezhi people, but even the Anxi Kingdom. It's been a lot." Upa gestured.
"Under your powerful attack, we had to move to a place further west. However, our place here is extremely barren, and we can only graze goats. In the north of us, in the places of Parthia and Dawan, they have Abundant grassland. It is very rich there. We are very envious, but we can't beat them at all, so we can only hide in front of the ravine here." Upa said helplessly.
Afterwards, Upa said a lot of things, these things are the situation that the special team of Qin State will investigate and understand this time, for example, the topography.The landform they got was that the southern area was mountainous and the land was barren. Therefore, they, the Wusun people, were stranded here. Because of the lack of transportation in the mountainous area, they did not need to change the current situation, because when they moved westward , everything is almost lost.Coupled with the lack of supplies here, it is easy for people here to go out to do business far away instead of hiding here, which is also a situation that Qin people did not expect.
Qin's two armies continued to attack, and the defeated countries in the Western Regions retreated one after another.However, in Anxi, which occupies a geographically superior position, the Dawan and Wan countries will not, and will never allow these retreating countries in the Western Regions to appear in their territory. Therefore, these marginal areas, mountainous areas, and river valleys have become their shelters. habitat.But these places are relatively poor in themselves, and the defeat of the war makes them even poorer.In order to change the current situation, many people have to go out to do business.
"Where are you here?" A team member asked impatiently.
"Here?" Upa asked, pointing to the ground.
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded.
"This is the place where we Wusun people gather temporarily. We are also backlogged here by you Qin people. There are Wusun people in countries that have not been clearly identified yet, and there are many people from the Western Regions from various countries. Anyway, there are Huoluo people, etc. Wait." Wusun people introduced.It was unbelievable for them to hear that the cabinet and other team members were surprised that there was no one in charge.
"Well, do you know how popular your Qin products are in Anxi?" Upa said at this time.
"Your clothing materials, especially silk, are simply high-quality fabrics, and the nobles of the Anxi Kingdom value them very much." Upa continued.
It is also difficult for them to understand the situation of such an information cabinet.
Upa's narration continued, and the shopkeeper continued to take notes.And these records, after completion, he will send these materials back to Qin.
Xianyang, Qin State.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Shang Wen said.
"Prime Minister, Mr. Zhang Er Zhang of the Wei State Government has arrived." The assistant said to Shang Wen.
"En." Shangwen nodded.
"Come in. Sit down, please." Shangwen said with his ears open.
"Sorry, I still have some things to deal with. You can sit down first." Shang Wen said to Zhang Er.
"Okay." After Zhang Er came to Xianyang, he did not expect that he would meet the prime minister of Qin so soon.
"Mr. Zhang, how is Wei Guo?" Shang Wen wrote something and asked.
