Prince Wei was obviously a little surprised by Qingyun's frankness, and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Oh? So, your father is Tan Zong Qing Yihan?"

It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. If the other party really wants to harm you, it's definitely not a lie that can help you escape, not to mention that Qingyun is not good at lying.

He had already figured this out, so he still looked calm when he answered.

"Yes, my Excellency, Tan Zong Qingyun, Qing Yihan is my father."

"Are you still grudged against the imperial court for what happened back then?"

Qingyun was silent.

The prince did not ask further questions, but a smile broke out on his face. He seemed to be happier than when he first met him.

"You went to the Lu Mansion to discuss matters, right? You were supposed to help Lu Wenzu fight for Tanjun's position?"

“Qingyun’s qualifications are still relatively low, and he has little say in the important matters of our sect.

This trip to the north was originally to find Chen Daoju, the senior of our sect, and to wait for his fate.

However, Uncle Chen had no intention of taking the position of Tangun.

On the other hand, Uncle Lu expressed this thought at yesterday's banquet."

Qingyun Jianghu is indeed inexperienced, but his thoughts are more thoughtful than ordinary people.

At this time, he didn't know whether it was good or bad to express his support for the Lu family, so he did not reveal Senior Sister Hu who really supported Lu, nor did he tie himself and the Lu family to death. He just stated the facts in a superficial way.

However, the prince, who had obtained some information in advance, had a different understanding of these words.

He thought that Qingyun was euphemistically expressing his support for the Lu family when the enemy and we were unknown, so he smiled again.

"You don't have to hide it, the Lu family is lonely.

Gu is the current crown prince.

Since you didn't succeed in assassinating the Qing family before, you don't need to worry about it.

As long as you still support the Lu family, I can let you go back.

But the Lu Mansion will be quite troubled in the past two days. I need to help you find another place to live. If necessary, I will send someone to contact you. I wonder what you think?"

"But how can I represent the attitude of my grandfather and several fellow disciples?"

"You don't have to worry about that. All I care about is your attitude."

》》》》》Time to knock on the blackboard》《《《

The story has been written for more than ten chapters. Let’s go back to the beginning and talk about Alexander’s Eastern Expedition.

I put it in this place to give everyone a feel through the sketches in the first dozen chapters. The author is not a person who knocks on the blackboard randomly, and all quotations must be taken from classics.

Alexander's Eastern Expedition started from Alexandria, which is west of Cairo, the capital of Egypt today, and passed through today's Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, all the way to Tajikistan. This was certainly a great expedition. But can we do something else?

Let’s make a comparison to understand how big Central Asia is and how far apart it is.

Known as the farthest reaches of Alexander's Eastern Expedition, the extremity Alexandria, which is today the city of Khujand, is located in the west of the Fergan Valley, north of Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. This place was used during the Han Dynasty's Battle of Dawan Tianma.

It ushered in the Chinese army at that time, and it was also the Xiping of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The starting point of Alexander's Eastern Expedition was Alexandria, near present-day Cairo. The straight-line air distance from Dushanbe, Tajikistan, is 3535KM. The straight-line air distance from Dushanbe to Xi'an and the ancient Chang'an City is 3591KM. In other words, Alexander's Eastern Expedition

The distance span between the expedition and the Han expedition to the Western Regions was the same.

The size of Alexander's army has always been maintained at about 50,000 people. The strongest opponent defeated in the most glorious Battle of Gaugamela was a Persian army of about 120,000 people (the ancient Greek epic said it was one million, but after the 20th century, many scholars said that at that time

The population strength of Persia has been assessed. The range is between 50,000 and 120,000, with most supporting a figure of around 100,000. There is a lot of information on these details, ranging from demography to written records, but they are basically in Spanish. If you are interested,

If you want to get started, you can refer to the English version of the Wiki entry.). The Western Han Dynasty protected more than 50 countries, and conducted a thorough census, recording households, population, and victorious soldiers (active soldiers who were organized and distributed weapons)

, as big as Qiuci's victory of more than 20,000 soldiers, as small as Huhu's victory of forty-five soldiers, no matter how big or small the country is, they are all compiled in the book. To the west of Congling, Wusun (winners of 190,000 soldiers) and Kangju (winners of 120,000 soldiers),

Although Dawan (with 60,000 victorious soldiers) was not under the protection, they were all defeated by the Han army and were attached as vassals, receiving tribute and reporting household registration.

Judging from the results, after Alexander's death, the empire fell into pieces, and new kingdoms emerged in Egypt, Asia Minor, Lianghe, and Central Asia. The Han Dynasty's protection of the Western Regions continued until the Three Kingdoms period.

Divisions and mergers. But whenever a powerful unified dynasty appeared in the Central Plains, it would be subordinated in the form of restraints, vassal towns, or direct annexation.

Therefore, if we look at Alexander's expedition in the context of China, although it can still be called a feat, it is not necessarily miraculous. At least in China's past dynasties' management of the Western Regions, each Western expedition has a similar level of success.

You know, Chang'an is only the western gateway to the center of the Central Plains, and there are thousands of kilometers of strategic depth behind it! Not every western expedition starts from Chang'an.

The concept of the equidistant distance from Dawan to Chang'an and Cairo mentioned here is quite shocking, because such direct comparisons were not common in the media before. But this is a fact that is easily obtained from the globe or APP, and is only used by scholars, especially
