Royal Palace:

King Tongluojia and his ministers went to the palace gate in person to greet the envoy Xu Shu of the Han Dynasty.

One hundred thousand Xiakou troops were stationed outside the city, overwhelming King Tong Geluojia and making him breathless.

There are more than 100,000 people in the entire Loulan City, and King Tonggrojia has only more than 30,000 Loulan cavalry under his command.

Once Xiakou's army attacks the city, Loulan Kingdom cannot stop it and cannot stop it.

For the sake of the more than 100,000 people in Loulan City, Tong Geluojia had no choice but to accept Xu Shu with humiliation despite his unwillingness.

"I have met the envoy from the superior state!"

Tong Geluojia saluted.

"I have met His Highness Tong Geluojia!"

Xu Shu cupped his fists and said.

"General Xu, please!"

Tong Geluojia invited.

Accompanied by King Tong Geluojia and other Loulan ministers, Xu Shu slowly walked into the palace.

King Tongluojia brought out the best wine and the most beautiful women to receive Xu Shu and his party.

You must know that Loulan Kingdom is a place rich in beauties, and the reputation of Loulan beauties has spread throughout the countries in the Western Regions.

Who can withstand it!

Moreover, Xu Shu was just a young man in his twenties. He was promoted at a time when he was in high spirits.

Many students in the academy are envious.

Xu Shu is known by later generations as one of the top ten counselors during the Three Kingdoms period. There is no doubt about his ability, and he is definitely a top-level figure.

At the beginning, he was suggested by Master Zhuge to serve under Liu Bei, and the strategies he provided successfully resisted Lao Cao's attack.

Later, it was said that Lao Cao held his mother hostage, so he left Liu Bei and became the secretary-general of Lao Cao's account.

As for what the novel says about never dedicating one's life to a plan, that's sheer nonsense. Besides, it's impossible to think that a big guy like Lao Cao would do something like kidnapping his mother.

The Han Dynasty attached great importance to the issue of 'filial piety', and even if Lao Cao was killed, he would not do such a thing as kidnapping his mother.

On the contrary, if Chen Gong refuses to surrender to Lao Cao, his family will be entrusted to the care of Lao Cao's gang. If Chen Gong dies, his family will be raised by Lao Cao.

There are a lot of counselors under Lao Cao, and there are so many talents in both tactics and strategy.

You must know that Xu Shu is the secretary-general next to Lao Cao, and he can only take this position if he is definitely a confidant.

How could he be appointed as secretary-general if he was not reused by Lao Cao?

Why Xu Shu left Liu Bei has become a mystery that no one can solve, and the truth has been lost in the long river of history.

No one can tell clearly.

hehe!

Talking nonsense again, let’s get back to the topic.

After the banquet, Xu Shu spent a very pleasant and beautiful night in the company of Loulan beauty.

Palace the next day:

"General Xu, how did you sleep last night?"

King Tongluojia asked.

"Thank you His Highness Tong Geluojia for the arrangement. I had a great rest last night."

Xu Shu said.

"General Xu, the Han Dynasty has not sent anyone to support this area in the Western Regions for a long time, and the residence of the Chief of the Western Regions has also fallen into disrepair.

Since Lord Chang Shi passed away more than ten or twenty years ago, Chang Shi's Mansion has been deserted for a long time. I wonder what the general's purpose is for leading troops into the Western Region this time? If necessary, we in Loulan Kingdom will take care of it one by one. "

King Tongluojia said.

"Your Highness Tong Geluojia, may I ask, are the descendants of Ban Chao and Ban Yong still living in Loulan City?"

Xu Shu said.

Ban Chao, courtesy name Zhong Sheng, was born in Pingling, Fufeng. He was the youngest son of Ban Biao, a famous military strategist, diplomat and historian during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ban Chao was a man of great ambition and did not care about details, but he was filial and respectful in his heart and scrutinized affairs. He was articulate and well-read.

Unwilling to copy documents for the government, he joined the army and followed Dou Gu to attack the Northern Huns. He was also ordered to go to the Western Regions as an envoy. In thirty-one years, he conquered more than 50 countries in the Western Regions and made great contributions to the return of the Western Regions.

He was promoted to the Protector of the Western Regions and was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, known as "Ban Dingyuan" in the world.

Ban Chao passed away, and his son Ban Yong was in Han'an's reign. When the Huns invaded the Western Regions, Ban Yong was appointed as the Chief Historian of the Western Regions. He led 500 soldiers to the Western Regions and joined forces with Qiuci to drive away King Yili of the Xiongnu.

In the first year of Yongjian (126 years), King Huyan of the Xiongnu was defeated, further consolidating the rule of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions.

Generally speaking, Ban Chao's family has made outstanding contributions to the stability of the Western Regions and has been stationed in the Western Regions for several generations.

It is very worthy of memorial for future generations.

"General Xu, a descendant of Senior Ban Chao, has returned to live in the Central Plains more than ten years ago. Now the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions is uninhabited and unguarded."

King Tongluojia said.

Xu Shu picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, then looked at the king.

"Your Highness Tong Geluojia, there is chaos in the Central Plains, and your Highness understands that you want to stop this kind of thing.

Now in charge of the Central Plains is our great General Qin Qi. General Qin put down the chaos in the world.

Let the world return to unification. Now that the problem in the Central Plains has been resolved, General Qin led his army to wipe out the Xianbei and other grassland races in the northern region.

At present, the Japanese army has cleared the area around Beihai. It won't take long for the Japanese army to advance westward.

Join our Western Expeditionary Army. A few days ago, our Xiakou Cavalry Division attacked the horse thieves entrenched in this area.

The bandits have been thoroughly wiped out, and the horse thieves, bandits and other lawless elements that harmed this area have been eliminated.

Next, the entire Western Region countries must be brought under the direct control of the Central Plains region, and there will no longer be institutions such as satellite states.

This general understands in his heart that the Loulan Kingdom has always been trying to find a balance among the big powers in order to gain benefits.

When the Xiongnu dominated the northern grasslands, you Loulan surrendered, submitted to the Huns, and called yourself the Huns.

When the Xianbei people of Tanshihuai dominate the grassland, you Loulan will belong to the Xianbei people again, and you will pay tribute and beauties to Xianbei.

When the Han Dynasty became stronger, he threw himself into the arms of the Han Dynasty again. I don’t want to get involved in these matters.

I am too lazy to pursue the responsibility. After all, this is a tragedy for a small country. Otherwise, the country will face destruction.

It is understandable that the tribesmen would be brutally killed. However, this time we led an army of 100,000 to the Western Regions.

Not only to declare political power, but also to bring the thirty-six countries under the direct jurisdiction of the Central Plains region. Of course,

As long as your highness obeys the orders and obeys the orders of the Xiakou Army, we will not treat you badly. We built a separate courtyard in Luoyang City.

It is specially used to accommodate the lives of His Highness and his family. I hope His Highness can cooperate with the work of our army."

Xu Shu said.

Sluggish, stupid!

King Tongluojia and the ministers in the hall were all stunned and speechless for a long time.

Unexpected!

Didn't the Han Dynasty usually let things go?

Why is it true that this time, if we want to put it under direct control, Loulan Kingdom will not exist in the future, which is not in the interest of all ministers.

You must know that at this time, the countries in the Western Regions basically practiced a slave society. The rich and officials had absolute rights and status. It was such a supreme status that it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were emperors.

Once the state is abolished, they will have no status, and they will no longer be able to act arrogantly, pretend to be powerful, and oppress the people wantonly.

The high status is gone.

After a while, the ministers who came to their senses in the main hall started talking one after another, and King Tonggrojia also looked bad.

His face was covered with black lines.
