Lost Traces of Ancient Roads

Since the pre-Qin period, a channel for exchanges between China and Western countries has been established. During the Western Han Dynasty, the "Silk Road" was officially formed. At this time, economic and trade exchanges were frequent, which also promoted the economic development of countries along the route. At that time, the area west of Yangguan and Yumenguan was called the Western Regions. There were originally thirty-six countries in the Western Region, but they later split due to internal chaos and formed more than fifty small countries. This includes Shanshan Kingdom. Everyone may be unfamiliar with Shanshan Kingdom, but everyone should be familiar with Shanshan Kingdom's other name - Loulan Kingdom! Shanshan State successively annexed Nuoqiang, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Qiemo and other countries, becoming one of the seven strongest states in the Western Region. The "Silk Road" runs through Loulan and is the choke point connecting the Central Plains to the Western Regions. Therefore, this place will definitely become a battleground for military strategists, and it was once the object of coveted by the Han and Huns. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
