Chapter 301 Wuwei Version Blind Boxes Talk About Shuluogan
Sizi clung to the window frame, thinking of Tuyuhunzi. "Huh? Their kingdom was destroyed? What happened to their descendants?"
Suddenly, a thought struck me: this is Wuwei, the place my father always talked about! It's also known as Liangzhou, Guzang, or Yongzhou. It's called the "ancient capital of six dynasties and the capital of the northwest." It was once the capital of the Former Liang, Later Liang, Southern Liang, Northern Liang, and Western Xia dynasties. It can be said that "Guzang is in the north, and Jiankang is in the south."
Good heavens, this place is practically a hidden "historical blind box." Pulling the seal reveals a whole host of surprises—four or five thousand years ago, groups of "ancient nobles" such as the Rong, Yuezhi, and Wusun organized various grassland carnivals, bonfire parties, and karaoke while herding livestock, turning the Hexi Corridor into a deluxe family playground.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Qubing led the Han army in a "lightning campaign," routing the Xiongnu and forcing them to flee overnight. Emperor Wu then named the area "Wuwei," emphasizing its imposing presence and military might. This powerful name made Wuwei the "face" of the Han Empire.
At this moment, Si Zi, munching on dried meat, leaned close to Ni Wan Zi with bright eyes and said, "Wan Zi, tell me, how powerful are those kings of Tuyuhun? I heard they went from a small tribe to a powerful force!"
Niwanzi added a piece of firewood to the fire, and sparks crackled and popped: "That's a long story. It started with Ye Yan, who passed it on to his son Sui Xi, and Sui Xi passed it on to his son Shi Lian. Shi Lian was very clever; he went to Xi Qin and tried to get close to them. The official in charge was so pleased that he made him the King of Bailan!"
"Wow! Isn't that the White Orchid Emperor?" Si Zi's eyes widened. "And then what?"
"Later, it was decided whether Shilian would pass the throne to his younger brother Shibi or to his son Shibi. It's still undecided."
"Why should my younger brother and son share the same name?"
"Because it's just a legend about one person, the younger brother could be the younger brother or the son."
"This works? Is Shi Lian his father or his older brother?"
"This matter is a complete mess in history books! However, what is certain is that no matter who his father was, Shuluogan did not rely entirely on his father's connections, but rather carved out his own path!"
"Isn't the platform different too? Who's his wife? Is his father-in-law powerful? Such a powerful man must have a powerful woman behind him!"
"It must be the Nian family! Although there aren't many records about the Nian family, the fact that she could raise such an 'extraordinary' son as Shu Luogan suggests that she might also be a 'hidden big sister' at home. She could have raised Shu Luogan and his younger brother Dang Qi to be well-rounded in both literature and martial arts, capable of shouldering great responsibilities!"
"Wow! Don't Shuluogan and Dangqi look like two little tigers on the grassland?"
"Pretty much! Shuluo became the King of Tuyuhun, conquering far and wide to restore the kingdom; Dangqi, although not as famous as his brother, must have been of great help as well, and the two brothers have worked together to accomplish many great things!"
"In short, this bear is no ordinary man. Western Qin still appointed him as the Emperor of Bailan and added the title of Governor of Shazhou." Niwanzi counted on her fingers, "However, his other brother, Wuheti, was less fortunate. He lost a battle with Western Qin and had no choice but to run to Southern Liang for protection."
Si Zi scratched his head: "Then, isn't Tuyuhun doomed?"
"How could that be!" Niwanzi flicked a leaf off the rhinoceros. "Wuheti passed the throne to Shipi's son, Shuluogan. This man is quite formidable. He led several thousand tribes to Muhechuan and directly proclaimed himself the Great Chanyu, that is, the king of Tuyuhun! Although he suffered defeats and was appointed as the Pingdi General and Chishui Protector by the Western Qin, he still managed to rebuild his power!"
Sizi listened intently, then clicked his tongue and asked, "How big must their territory be?"
“It’s really big!” Niwanzi gestured, her arms outstretched as if to embrace the entire grassland. “It extends east to the Tao River and Longgu—”
"I know!" Si Zi suddenly jumped up, almost sending the jerky flying. She remembered Zhen Xiao Si's modern society.
"It's Songpan in Sichuan! I've also been to Zhaga Waterfall there. That waterfall is incredibly powerful, like the Milky Way being flung down from a god's sleeve, crashing down to earth!"
