Later generations included Zhang Qian's connection to the Western Regions. Will there be such a brilliant stroke like Ganluo's connection to the Western Regions in later history books?

Taking the "Travels of the Western Regions" written by Gan Luo, Meng Tian was reading it while thinking maliciously.

Hi, the title of the book can actually be called Journey to the West.

Zhang Qian opened up the Western Regions, but only opened up the vision of the upper class of the empire and did not leave enough written records to inherit later generations. It was precisely because of this that Meng Tian specially urged Gan Luo to leave a travelogue.

Perhaps I realized that this "Travels of the Western Regions" can be passed down to later generations, and Gan Luo spent a lot of effort when writing.

"After the death of the Huns, the son can inherit his father's wives and concubines, except for his biological mother, and the Huns do not think they are shameless."

"The Yuezhi Kingdom in the west of the Huns had a fertile grassland. Yuezhi merchants had been transporting silk and pottery from the Central Plains to the West through this area, but they didn't know where they would go in the end."

"I went west of Yuezhi and headed north along the edge of Kunlun Mountain. First I arrived at the Wusun Kingdom. There was a strange vine in Wusun, with deep purple and pearl-like fruits, which were sweet and sweet."

"To the west of Wusun, on the edge of the desert, there is a lush oasis called Loulan Kingdom. The Loulan people collected a grass with white fruits to protect the cold."

······

Gan Luo had no understanding of the overall world in his mind. He thought it was strange, and there were many doubts between the lines.

The Yuezhi people transported silk from the Central Plains through the grasslands of Central Asia, went to Parthia and Israel in Asia Minor, and then entered Rome through the Mediterranean, becoming a cargo that was more expensive than gold.

Meng Tian has read about the history of ancient Rome and knows that the noble ladies of ancient Rome are especially fond of the soft and smooth silk fabrics from the East.

The ancient Romans once thought that there was a strange tree in the far east, and its fruit was precious silk.

The purple fruits produced by the vines are thought to be grapes from later generations. If the people in the Central Plains want to eat grapes, they have to wait until the reign of Emperor Wu of Han to introduce grape varieties from the Western Regions.

The white fruit is used to protect the cold. Meng Tian thought of cotton from later generations in his mind. This is an excellent crop that is beneficial to people's livelihood and is something that every time traveler has painstakingly thought about.

Unfortunately, at this time, Qin State had not yet unified the world and had no ability to explore the Western Regions.

Despite this, Meng Tian didn't want to bury Gan Luo's efforts. It may not be necessary now, but this book will be spread and expanding the horizons of the Chinese nation may be helpful to future generations.

The ancient Chinese were born without lacking the spirit of pioneering. In the vast Central Plains, there were once Rong people, Yi people, and Di people everywhere, but in the Warring States Period, there were no shadows of aliens on the Central Plains.

Although the Central Plains is large, they are also developed step by step.

"I wrote someone to copy this "Travels of the Western Regions". After the copying, I sent it to Xianyang Palace, Prime Minister's Mansion and Censor's Mansion."

Meng Tian ordered the housekeeper of the Meng family to arrange the copying matters, but he did not have the intention to keep this secret.

The exploration behavior of Ganluo heroes has finally achieved results. If knowledge cannot be formed and widely spread, it may be drowned in the dust of history.

The more widely the knowledge is, the more likely it is to spread for a long time.

"Remember to send one to the school in Xianyang."

The disciples in the school are not famous now, but they are the National Administrative Academy of Qin, a place that is responsible for the training of national civil servants. Qin pursues the use of officials as their teachers, and their horizons will naturally affect Guizhou leaders in various places.

"The portion sent to Xianyang Palace requires a little more material."

Meng Tian thought of the map drawn by Ganluo, which was only at the level of a primary school student compared to the map of China in later generations. Ganluo had never seen the full picture of Eurasia and could not draw a qualified map. But the map in Meng Tian’s mind could not forget it.

Although we cannot draw accurate maps of the Western Regions, Meng Tian remembers the general terrain and landform very clearly.

The matter of "Traveling to the West" has come to an end for the time being. Meng Tian did not continue to think about it. The current top priority is to plan to attack Chu.

"How should Chu State, such a huge Chu State, be defeated? How can we avoid the fate of defeat?"

······

In the East City of Xianyang, General Li’s Mansion, the general Li Xin, who was in a prestige in attacking Chu, was facing the huge wall, staring blankly.

Above the wall, there is a huge map of eight feet long and six feet wide. The lines of rivers such as Huai River, Ru River, and Si Shui are clearly visible, with black dots such as Pingyu, Qinqiu, Chengfu, Chenxian, and Shouying.

Li Xin despised the combat effectiveness of the Chu people and did not think that the Chu army had the ability to fight head-on with the Qin army. Otherwise, the fledgling Meng Tian would not have won two victories in the Chu people.

It was precisely because of defeating the Chu army that Meng Tian had gained a firm foothold in the army.

But looking at the huge territory of Chu, Li Xin still put away his conceited thoughts.

The Chu people may have very weak combat power, but after a series of defeats, the Chu State can still recover. It is not so easy to deal with when expanding territory in the east.

"Gui, tell me, what do you think of the Battle of Chu?"

After a while, Li Xin turned around and asked casually.

"The most important thing in this battle is the cavalry."

The captain named Gui stood up, and he was powerful, with both hands and fists in front of him: "The north of the Huai River in Chu is flat, suitable for cavalry to move forward quickly. Our army needs to completely defeat the Chu army in this area."

"That's right, that's why I asked the king to let Meng Tian be my deputy general."

Li Xin nodded with satisfaction.

The lieutenant Gui was a close lieutenant under Li Xin's command, and he was also related to Li Xin's mother's family. They both came from Longxi, so Li Xin valued the lieutenant Gui very much.

"But in my opinion, Meng Tian lacks confidence in the battle against Chu."

The captain Gui curled his lips secretly, with a little dissatisfied.

"When the court discussed, Meng Tian believed that it would take 300,000 people to attack Chu, and the boatman of the Tower cooperated with the attack. Now the king asked me to attack Chu 200,000, and Meng Tian had doubts in his heart, which was normal."

Li Xin was brave and his bold statement to attack and destroy Chu State by 200,000 yuan aroused the morale of the generals under Li Xin. But Li Xin knew in his heart that no one could match Meng Tian's use of cavalry among the Qin army.

Even if Meng Tian is suspicious, as long as she goes to the battlefield, Meng Tian will not be unable to do her best.

According to Qin law, if Li Xin lost the battle, Meng Tian, ​​as the deputy general, would also have to bear the responsibility.

"Hmph, Meng Tian is still less courageous than the general. When I went to find out the news, I heard that Meng Tian sent someone to send a message to the Shangjun soldiers in Wei, asking Li Bi, Luo Jia and others to practice the defense skills."

The captain Gui showed disdain in his eyes, thinking that Meng Tian was a manifestation of cowardice.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Xin's eyes and he frowned:

"Meng Tian is really preparing to defeat the battle by practicing the defense technique? No, I have to go to the Meng Mansion to have a detailed discussion with Meng Tian......"
