Arrived at its Qiancheng with the Linxiang brigade. The Embroiderer and Amazon have finally finished their dressing.

The Koji clan first ascended the coveted soul-chasing crossbow, and everyone also had one hand. The Koji clan ascended first, attacked the city, and was unstoppable. Liu Bei is of great use. I want to bring it back to the Central Plains. Siege warfare will inevitably be avoided in the future.

The Amazonian female warriors are also full of praise for the finely forged Jinlin armor on their bodies, and they can't put it down. Wipe it fresh every day. Forget about oiling. Enamel nail pieces are inherently antiseptic.

The protective power of the 100-for-steel scale armor goes without saying. Far from being a slave gladiator, the useless bronze armor on his body is comparable.

The fire-resistant cotton cloth is also cut into small pieces of the same size as the Jinlin armor piece, which is embedded between the enamel nail piece and the composite gasket. Then glue the nail seal. This can not only prevent fire, but also avoid snugness. Eliminate the last worries.

So the morale doubled.

Liu Bei nodded happily, and the military heart was available.

With the authority of the general, the order is left and right, and let the Amazon queen sleep tonight.

The Queen gladly accepted. Isn't it just a living heater, what's the big deal?

I took a bath and changed my clothes early and changed into a three-piece plain yarn suit. Rushed to the bedroom on the second floor and warmed the bed for the master.

Well, it's really not a big deal.

Hold the fragrant carcass. Sleep with the foam of the Mediterranean Sea and the warm sunshine of the Asia Minor Peninsula.

Sleep until dawn.

Sure enough, I was refreshed.

Then he quietly changed into a dry calf nose robe, and got up to stay. After Liu Bei left, the queen also got up, her face was red, and she didn't mention going to take a bath.

The reason why Amazon called Liu Bei is a benevolent master.

The biggest reason is that Liu Bei lifted the shackles on all slaves, including Amazon. and allocated houses and fertile fields. The maximum freedom is given. Make it the freedman of your dreams.

This kind of open-mindedness is not something that ordinary slave owners can do.

Wash and change. I ate another bowl of sweet rice porridge. As soon as Liu Bei entered the front hall, he came to report left and right.

This morning, a large group of traveling merchants entered the city. Send a greeting post.

Liu Bei unfolded it and was immediately overjoyed.

"Hurry up, please."

"Whoa."

The one who comes is not a stranger. It was Anxuan, the merchant who rested in peace.

"An Xuan meets the general." Liu Bei was edicted as the "General of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty in the Western Regions", and the North and South Silk Road is well known.

"No courtesy." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to help: "Is it good all the way?" ”

"This trip to Dawan, the journey went smoothly." An Xuan replied with a smile.

"Very good." Liu Bei's strategy can be implemented. An Xuanju has made a lot of contributions. Seeing that he returned safely, Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed.

"I'm going to exchange for a hundred horses of Dawan Liang. I heard that An Xuan and the general met. King Dawan then sent an envoy to accompany him all the way. On the way, he met the messenger of Kangju, braved the wind and snow, and arrived at it. ”

Of the 55 countries in the Western Regions, 50 have sent envoys to their embassies. Only Dawan, Kangju, Wusun, Guishan and other countries are still waiting.

One of these five countries is that they are far away. Strength is the second thing. Not wanting to be tied to many smaller countries is the third.

The most important thing is.

In the past, they all went to Beijing to worship the Han Emperor. Now let them set up an embassy in the Western Regions Governor's Mansion. There are some suspicions of self-deprecation.

Therefore, they are all on the sidelines.

Dawan, Kangju, and the former Han Dynasty were all powerful countries.

At the height of Kangju, it had a population of 600,000 and 120,000 victorious soldiers. The center of the country is located in the city of Khotan. Move pastures with the seasons. In winter, it goes south to inhabit the "Leyue Hideout" in the area of the Syr Darya River, and in summer it goes north to "Fannei", and the two places are thousands of miles apart.

When Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions, Kangju often sent protons to Beijing to pay tribute.

After its strength became stronger, it was once hostile to the Han Dynasty. When Li Guangli sent troops to attack Dawan, Kangju intended to help Dawan, but failed.

However, as the Kushan country became prosperous, Kangju gradually declined.

Sandwiched between Wusun, rest and frost. It is also a nation, living in the grass. There is no clear border. Because of the pastures, the sheep and the cattle, and the wild horses, fighting is common.

It is different from Guishuang and Wusun, who are strong and strong. Dawan and Kangju have been defeated.

At the moment of crisis, there is not much to worry about. So he quietly sent an envoy to worship.

Dawan and Kangju are allied with each other. Close relationship. It must have been after receiving Dawan's secret report, so Kang Ju sent a messenger in advance and waited for An Xuan and his party halfway.

Blend into the caravan and hide your own eyes. Not known to the surrounding powers.

"The envoys of the two countries, where are they?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's all in the city." An Xuan replied.

"Someone." Liu Bei then gave the order.

"Yes."

"Go to the city and invite the envoys of the two countries to meet."

"Whoa." Then the embroiderer took the order and departed.

Soon after, the envoys of the two countries entered the hall to meet each other.

"The envoy meets the general." Very polite.

"Two of you are exempt." Liu Bei smiled and stretched out his hand: "Sit." ”

"Thank you."

After the two of them were seated, Liu Bei asked here: "Two noble envoys, how late is it." ”

"The snow is thick and the road is long. It's quite difficult to stop and go all the way. That's when I came to meet him belatedly. I ask the general to forgive me. "The envoy of the Great Wan Kingdom bowed to the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Please forgive the General." The envoy of Kangju also prostrated himself and pleaded guilty.

"If you come, you will be safe, and there will be no sin." Liu Bei motioned for the two to get up.

"Do you have a national credential?"

"The credentials are here. Please take a look. The two took out the credentials from their sleeves and presented them to Liu Bei.

The embroiderer checked that it was correct and forwarded it to Liu Bei.

The national credentials are the gift list.

Liu Bei glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "The two of you will go to the Mashi Guest House to rest first, and after the opening ceremony is held, it will not be too late to settle in the embassy." ”

"Yes." Although they didn't know what the opening ceremony was, the two did not dare to slack off. Then he took his leave and left.

"Dare to ask the general, what is the opening ceremony?" After the two left, An Xuan asked.

"It is the new ambassador, after presenting his credentials. A brief ceremony was held. Ambassadors from all over the world, officials of the Imperial Protectorate, and residents of the city will be present. Liu Bei explained.

"I see." An Xuan's eyes were full of deep meaning.

The news is out. It wasn't dawn yet. The square in front of the Metropolitan Protectorate is already crowded.

High platform in front of the house. The officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate, dressed in Han official uniforms, sat in danger.

Envoys from various countries gathered under the high platform. Arrange in horizontal columns.

On both sides of the stairs, three hundred Amazons lined up left and right.

The spears are like a forest, and the shields are lined up into a wall. Fresh clothes and bright armor, momentum like a rainbow.

Enviable.

The general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty is the same as the three divisions. Meaning: Non-three divisions and the ritual system is the same as the three publics. That is to say, Liu Bei enjoys the same ritual system as the Three Princes.

This refers to Liu Bei's official position. If you talk about the title, Liu Beigui is the county marquis, and the ritual system is especially above the three dukes. What kind of ritual is used depends on what kind of occasion it is. Don't stick to formality.

For example, today Liu Bei held the opening ceremony as the "General of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty in the Western Regions". Since you should use the ritual of a great general.

In fact, there are many unfinished words in the edict issued by His Majesty, and the implications need to be carefully understood.

For example, this sentence "Yi Tong Sansi". Why is General Fu Han "Yi Tong Three Divisions", not "Yi Tong General".

Because of this dynasty, the general is above the three dukes. The general's etiquette is naturally above the three princes.

His Majesty named Liu Bei as the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty. The same as the three divisions. The implication is that the general of the auxiliary Han is under the general.

Gods and ghosts are hidden in the details. A small edict can be seen.
