As far as Liu Bei knew, apart from the Silk Road, there were later the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and the Ancient Tang-Tibet Road. They were all important commercial channels leading to the southwest.

Based in the West Sea and heading south to the plateau. Liu Bei wanted to try to open up this important trade channel comparable to the Silk Road. Tea and silk are the most profitable bulk export goods nowadays. Once tea is popular in foreign countries, an inexhaustible amount of investment will be added. Therefore, Liu Bei planted camellias in Longnan in advance to prevent any unpredictable situations.

"There are Jiamu trees in the south" means tea trees. Shu is also an important tea area. With Longnan tea gardens as the foundation, tea merchants in Ji have entered Shu and opened new gardens.

When bathing in the hot springs, Huifei once took her busy schedule to mention that the ancient Qiang in the depths of the plateau said that when the grazing Zhong Qiang people were walking in the winding river valley between the snow-capped mountains, they would occasionally find the ancient Qiang hunting ground.

Huifei also said that the ancient Qiang, who was grown up in the depths of the plateau, was decorated with oxen, commonly known as the "shouqiu breed". The rumored species were divided into six divisions, and were also called the "shouqiu breed".

"The Biography of the Western Qiang" records: The Qiang people "are either a yak breed, a Yuejun Qiang breed, a white horse breed, a Guanghan Qiang breed, a ginseng wolf breed, a Wudu Qiang breed."

"The Three Kingdoms: Biography of Zhang Yi" also contains: "The King of the Han Jia County border" and "The King of the King of the Niu", also known as "Yuejun Qiang".

The yak is a yak. ​​It is produced in the southwest. "Shan Hai Jing·Beishan Jing": "There are animals (the mountain of Panhou) that look like a cow, and the four joints produce hair, which is called the yak cattle." The note says: "Now the yak cattle has long hair on the back and knees and tails of the ox."

Since ancient times, Sichuan and Tibet have been integrated.

In other words, "the ox breed is the best, the qiu Qiang" is also a nomadic country. It travels between the plateau grasslands between Sichuan and Tibet and the river valley with abundant water and grass.

It coincides with the turn of spring and summer. You can go south from Xihai County, advance to the Cizhihequ, and cross Jishi Mountain. You may meet this ancient Qiang branch.

Since he knew his name, Liu Bei felt at ease.

While breathing, he made a quick decision. He sent a caravan to the south to find an opportunity to communicate with Yuejun Qiang.

This was the 600-mile mail to Dazhen Pass and handed over to the left chief Xun You to handle it personally. The name of King Ji has been drafted first: the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty, the shogunate pioneering convoy.

There are standard camp carriages, a team of civilians and healthy women. Defensive carriages, merchant carriages, workshop carriages, military city carriages, camp officials carriages, etc., and there are many people. They are equipped with Han envoys, team leaders, camp soldiers, doctors, craftsmen, hunters, drawing masters, Jiuyi Ling, etc., and personnel are accompanied.

The first "pioneering knight" was An Xuan, an absie merchant who had been promoted to the cavalry commander.

An Xuan was ordered to keep an army and led his team to the south of the Western Hainan to find a way to advance to the plateau. He collected customs, people and mountains, rivers and landforms along the way. He also drew a topographic map of the mountains, rivers and rivers, and searched for dangerous lands to be used for subsequent construction of cities and villages. From a strategic point of view, he first nailed a wedge. Then he used this as a stronghold to build cities and farms, and moved to the military and civilians to garrison. Then he spreads branches and leaves, transforms into places outside and returns to the Han territory.

Nowadays, the magnificent Han Dynasty is unique and the four barbarians are proud of the transformation of the Chinese version. I heard that they were the Han envoys who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, so how dare the countries along the way be negligent. They are treated with great wine and food with care. Only by sending them out of the country with caution can they breathe a sigh of relief in secret.

"Do not move, if you move, you will destroy the country." This sentence has long been passed down through the Han envoys and spread all over the world.

The earthquake is at the end.

I heard that King Ji formed a pioneering fleet. All the aspiring people were ready to go.

Zhang Qian set his famous works in history when he settled the Western Regions. Geng Gong guarded Shule and passed by Su Wu.

The Han Dynasty was strong and heart-warming. The Qiang chaos was destroyed for a century, and the Yellow Turban riots broke out again. Seeing that the country was not protected, the country was not sustainable. King Ji emerged suddenly. After turning the tide, he supported the building to collapse. First pacify the Western Regions, then set the Longyou. Now he went south to pioneer and advance into the plateau. How can he not make the world applaud?

An Xuan has moved eastward with his family and settled in Dazhen Pass and Shengpingli. He was elected by Liu Bei as the "Cathing Commander". There was a long queue in front of his commander's mansion. Everyone was about to enter the pioneering queue.

After climbing the high building and looking down, An Xuan knew what the Han style was.

From the kings and princes to the people, they all were proud of expanding their territory and embracing all rivers. The East Hu and the South Barbarians moved inwardly, and the Western Qiang came to the east. Even though the national policy was repeatedly criticized, it was throughout the whole world. Since the Han Dynasty, no dynasty had such courage. They often practiced seclusion and self-discipline, and divided the Chinese and foreigners.

Aiting, the old commander's mansion.

The person who pushed the door and got off the bus from the shogunate car in front of the door was Zheng Tai, the governor of the door.

The old commander went out of the mountain gate to greet him: "I have seen the envoy."

"Old Captain asked for it quickly." Zheng Tai stepped forward to support him, not daring to accept this great gift.

After the old commander stood still, Zheng Tai took a few steps back and bowed with a solemn look: "Zheng Tai, the governor of King Ji, please pay homage to the old commander Jiang."

The so-called courteous and concise. Zheng Tai's move should be pleased.

The old commander did not postpone it. He accepted this ceremony calmly, and this action should show that King Ji was polite and noble. The behavior of people at that time had a profound meaning.

"The emperor will enter the hall and give a speech."

"Please, old captain."

As the guest and host sat down, Zheng Tai first presented the gift list.

The old captain took it and was shocked.

"I have no virtue and no ability to be able to receive such a respectful gift from the king."

Zheng Tai said, "My lord, the old commander, has been known as the old commander for a long time. However, he is plagued by everything and dare not move easily. Then he sent (Zheng) Tai to come and greet him."

"In this way, I am ashamed of my responsibility."

Seeing that the old commander was also a neat person, Zheng Taixi said: "Longyou has been in trouble and is waiting for development. When he is employed, he heard that the old commander opened the door to teach. The so-called famous teachers will be of great disciples. When we came, our lord asked (Zheng) Tai to ask the old commander for advice. If there are children of the right age, they will come out to help."

"There are several disciples who are not angry." The old commander understood it: "I dare to ask the envoy, what position should he be awarded?"

Zheng Tai smiled and said, "My decisiveness is possible for Zheng to decide for himself."

"Oh?" Even the old commander was moved: "The governor of the disciple is a 600-stone official, how can he give a salary of 1,000-stone?"

Zheng Tai smiled and said, "The lord is very loving and is attracted to his private ministers. Therefore, he has a low position and a heavy weight."

"The rumors are indeed not false." The old commander Huanran explained: "I am just starting out and I don't ask for a thousand stones of money. The commander of the ranks, the commander of the team, and the commander of the Quhou is enough."

"The old commander must not belittle himself." Zheng Tai smiled and said, "Why not attract a good disciple to his disciples?"

"In this way, the envoy will follow the old man to the martial arts field."

"please."

Partial courtyard, dormitory.

Cheng Gongying's face was flushed and rushed in: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, and mentors are summoned."

"Why is it so urgent?" Seeing that he was panting, the senior brother Yang Qiu got up and asked.

"That's because..." Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Cheng Gong said in an honest manner: "Zheng Tai, the governor of King Ji, comes to recruit."

Not only Yang Qiu, but also all the fellows in the house, all "buzzed", as if they were bolt from the blue. Their minds were blank.

"I'm not going yet!" Wu Xi jumped up. Only then did everyone realize that they had to clean up each other and lined up to the martial arts venue.

The old Duwei Mansion built a horse farm and a school farm in the back valley, and various weapons were arranged for learning and performing martial arts. The so-called martial arts farm is here.

The stands in the north are full of guests. There are two seats in the center. The east seat is the teacher. There is one person in the west seat, with a tall crown and brocade robe and white face and beautiful beard. He is the hero Zheng Tai.

"Lüshi Chunqiu·Zhaolei": "Generics are the same and each other, and the same energy is the same, and the same sound is the same and the same response." The same species attract each other; the same smells are the same and they are in harmony; the same sounds are the same and they correspond to each other.

It is the so-called "heroes in harmony".
