Chapter 1030

Even if he arrives later, it doesn't matter.

In the past two days on the way to the Loulan Kingdom, Duan Yu used Xun You to cram knowledge about the population and military strength of the various countries in the Western Regions.

In the last record of Yutian Kingdom appearing in the Great Han, the household registration was about 3,300 households, the population was about 20,000, and the army did not exceed 2,000.

This kind of small country, calling it a tiny country is a bit of an exaggeration.

It is not even as populous as a normal county in the Great Han Dynasty.

Although the news has been cut off for many years, even if there is some growth, where can it grow to?

As for the news of the Loulan Kingdom, it is more accurate.

Because the Loulan Kingdom is not far from Dunhuang, there has been news for so many years.

The capital of the Loulan Kingdom, which is the city in front of Duan Yu at this time, is named Hani.

Besides this, there are two smaller city-states that together make up the Loulan Kingdom.

And the contemporary King of the Loulan Kingdom is named Tonggeluojia. (Not fictional, historical materials can be checked.)

The total household registration of the Loulan Kingdom is about 1,600 households, the population is about 15,000, and the number of soldiers is about 2,000.

Specifically, the population and military strength are about the same as Yutian.

But as the first stop connecting the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions, Loulan has more Western Regions merchants, and Liangzhou merchants use this place as a transit and rest place, plus there is water here, and it is also a place to replenish supplies.

Therefore, the Loulan Kingdom is relatively more developed and prosperous than the countries further away in the Western Regions.

Logically speaking, the national strength of the Loulan Kingdom and Yutian is almost equal, and it should not fear Yutian.

But Yutian relies on the Wusun Kingdom.

In recent years, after the Great Han cut off contact with the Western Regions and abolished the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the King of Wusun was enfeoffed as the Western Regions Historian in his early years, and then began to overstep his authority to exercise the power of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Not to mention conquering other countries, he also collected taxes from the countries of the Western Regions.

And the Yutian Kingdom, as a small country in the middle of the Southern Road of the Western Regions, attached itself to the Wusun Kingdom and became a tax collector for the Wusun Kingdom.

If anyone dared not to obey, the Wusun Kingdom would send troops, or send envoys to let several small countries that surrendered to it unite to attack the small country that did not listen to orders.

These are all knowledge that Xun You popularized for Duan Yu.

Of course, Zhao Yun did not know these.

But Zhao Yun knew that Beigong Boyu had the support of the Wusun Kingdom at the beginning.

This is the enemy.

So he had no scruples when he made a move just now.

After Tie Shitou passed the order, it didn't take long.

The King of Loulan, Tonggeluojia, brought a group of soldiers down from the city wall.

Together with them, naturally, was Princess Andiluoga.

The terrified King of Loulan, Tonggeluojia, arrived a few meters away from Duan Yu, placed his right hand on his chest, bowed, and saluted:

"The ruler of the small country of Loulan, pays respects to the Great General of the Heavenly Dynasty."

The princess behind the King of Loulan saluted Duan Yu together.

PS: At present, this book has nearly 1.2 million words. The little author believes that the vast majority of readers who have seen this far have already understood it before.

Previously, in order to supplement some historical materials, the little author opened a separate task biography for each person, which was for authenticity.

Later, I was a bit lazy, but recently some questioning voices have appeared in some book reviews, and the little author has not explained them one by one.

The characters in this book are completely consistent with history, including the information about the Western Regions, which are all written after strict verification.

If you still want to see separate character biographies and geographical maps, you can also @ the little author, and the little author will restore them.

Once again, I declare that all historical materials about the Western Regions countries have been verified, including geographical features, hydrology, astronomy, and the era background of the characters.

One more thing, this is my profession, not my amateur hobby. ===== CHAPTER 1032 =====
