Chapter 631: The Western Regions Kingdoms
"Sincerely, how many people can there be in this Wusun country, and how many troops can there be?" Liu Huan in the study asked Huang Shen who was busy in front of him, he didn't seem to have the slightest awareness of being a groom tomorrow, and he was probably more interested in the sheepskin letter in his hand than his wife who had not passed through the door, and he was quite polite to this young Huang Shen.
In addition to the respect of those children of the family and the reputation of the great Han, he also got acquainted with the owner of the Western Regions Dog, Ulrich, and the parchment scroll that this person presented to him was an extremely detailed map of the Western Regions, which aroused Liu Huan's great interest on the spot.
Now Liu Huan is fifteen years old, and he can be regarded as an adult in the Han Dynasty, and the identity of the eldest son of the general makes him carry more on his shoulders. On the same day, Liu Yi offered the Son of Heaven with a jade seal, Liu Xie was moved to seal Liu Yi as the King of Yan in recognition of his loyalty, at this time Lang Sheng was naturally different from Cao Cao of the year, his identity as a clan of the Han family and his unparalleled merits would make his king less but a lot of obstacles, weighing again and again he still refused the invitation of the Son of Heaven, but this matter went far and wide, and hundreds of officials in the court had different opinions, most of them were still in favor of the general's kingship, as for why such news was leaked is from the hands of Jia Wenhe, In his opinion, it is a matter of time before the lord becomes the king, and now it is the best policy for everyone to accept it in advance, and Liu Yi said the same.
If Liu Yi is crowned king, Liu Huan is a veritable son, he needs to further establish his own prestige instead of just sheltering under his father's wings, he must do something to win the support of those brave generals under his father's command, which will be an extremely huge force. But how can we make a difference? It is obviously not feasible to lead troops to the battle, and Liu Yi will not easily hand over the elite to him, even if it is a father and son, as for political affairs, Liu Huan can indeed do it himself, and now he is also learning from Chen Qun and others, but it is not a matter of time to be effective here, and these two things in the Western Regions that his father is very concerned about have become his choice.
In recent years, Liu Yi has spent a lot of energy on the cultivation of his eldest son, and he has taught by word and deed every day, and he has talked about the art of war and political affairs, and he has also mentioned the matter of the Western Regions many times in front of Liu Huan, saying that the protection of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty is already in name only at this time, and all small countries do not know that there is a Han.
With this map of the Western Regions in his hand, which is far better than Zhang Qian's Banchao record, coupled with the identity of Ulrich, Liu Huan believes that if he uses it properly, he will be able to make a difference in this matter, if the Western Regions Capital can be reset because of this, and then show the majesty of my Han Dynasty, his reputation will definitely be greatly improved, and his status will be more stable. In my father's army, the soldiers who participated in the Battle of the Wolf or the Second Uncle's Battle to destroy Goguryeo can get the greatest respect, and the prestige of Yan Gang's command of the White Horse Battalion also comes from this.
Liu Huan is stable by nature and quite scheming, at first Liu Yi didn't like his eldest son very much, but with the improvement of his status, his ideas have also changed, how can Liu Yi's eldest son not have deep scheming? It is very likely that his great cause will be inherited by him, and naturally it cannot be measured by ordinary people's standards, as long as he can distinguish between right and wrong, and his deep scheming will also become an advantage.
After a deep conversation with Ulrich, Liu Huan came to look for Xi Zhicai the next day to talk about the Western Regions, and he was full of interest in his words, and Xi Zhicai did not have him, and he has always valued the eldest son of the lord, so he also regarded this matter as a kind of experience for Liu Huan, but all the questions were answered in detail, and the Western Regions Mission should have been completed, but because the battle of Sizhou had to be delayed, seeing that the eldest prince had something to say, Xi Zhicai let Huang Shenduo get close to Liu Huan!
Huang Shen's ancestor Huang Yong had accompanied Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, he attached great importance to this matter when he was young, and because Liu Yi attached great importance to this matter, he wanted to make some merits on it, with this idea, he and the eldest prince hit it off, so he discussed with him in Liu Huan's study almost every day about the Western Regions, and at the same time admired Liu Huan's focus in his heart. For this matter, he didn't even pay much attention to the upcoming wedding, which made Huang Shen, who was about the same age, feel like a confidant, and secretly determined to help the eldest prince achieve this.
Yu'er was quite stunned about what Liu Huan did in the casino that day, but Cai Yan showed enough trust in his eldest son, Liu Huan returned home that night and explained the original matter to his mother, and made it clear that he wanted to help his father complete the affairs in the Western Regions, of course, he did not hide the identity of the parchment scroll and Ulrich from Cai Yan! Cai Yan has also heard her husband mention this matter many times, and now that Liu Huan, who has grown up, does need to do some successful things to experience, although she has never participated in Liu Yi's official affairs, she can show enough support for Liu Huan.
With his mother's approval, Liu Huan is even more confident, and he has been at home for the past few days to learn about the affairs of the Western Regions, even to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, except for the occasional big wedding! However, although he was young, he often heard his father talk about the principle of treating people under control, and he couldn't say everything about this Huang Shen like he did to his mother, so he got into the main topic a few days later.
"The eldest prince, I have a jade gate pass in Liangzhou, I have a jade gate in Liangzhou, out of here to the west is the Western Regions, through the white dragon pile, the mountain country and the dangerous beard can reach Qiuzi, here is also the location of the Western Regions to protect the capital, this Qiuzi is hundreds of miles west is Wusun, here is extremely strong in Huan Ling, there are faint signs of the head of the Western Regions, there are nearly 500,000 citizens here that year, tens of thousands of soldiers, presumably over the years its annexation of weak countries, there must have been growth." Listening to Liu Huan's question, Huang Shen, who was busy, hurriedly turned around and said respectfully, hearing that he said that he was like a treasure to the Western Regions, and he did have real talent and learning.
"Turtles? This Wusun should be Dawan further west, my former Emperor Wu had raised troops for sweat and blood, but I don't know what the situation is at this time? It is said that his mother is a beautiful woman, so the aunt is different from the aunts, a few days ago Zhao Hai sent him a batch of sweat and blood BMW as a wedding gift, Liu Huan is very fond of it, and then looked at the map in his hand and asked.
"The eldest prince really has seen and heard widely, and what he said is not bad, Wusun is Dawan to the west of a hundred miles, when Emperor Wu was desperate to raise troops to destroy it in order to seek a good horse and horses, it was the Western Regions that established meritorious service, but I heard that after the revival of this place, it was destroyed by Wusun, but I can't know what it is." Huang Shen's words are not a slippery way, and there are not many people who can know about this, but it is thought that the eldest prince must have read a lot of books, and he also told the truth about what he did not know.
"Knowing is knowing is not knowing, I don't know, I can say that I know, according to what you said, this Wusun country is the most powerful among the countries of the Western Regions, if my Han can be a minister, this Western Regions will be able to reopen, so that all countries can hear the prestige of my Han again, and I will talk about it, but I don't know how the combat power of this Wusun country is better than my Han?" Liu Huan nodded to show his appreciation for Huang Shen, and then asked again after pondering for a while, as if he was very interested in this Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions.
"Don't dare to be the eldest prince to praise, the countries of the Western Regions go their own way, and the name of the protectorate is really true, it is really because of the chaos of my Han Dynasty and the constant unintentional care, and the army expedition consumes a huge amount of money and food, and there is even more disdain for it, if it is about force, even the strong and powerful Wuhuan Huns are bowing down in front of the prince's father, let alone the country of Wusun? As long as the world has been decided, you can sweep it away! Huang Shen was also quite happy when he heard this, and said that there was indeed a pause in the middle, seeing that Liu Huan did not have a safe look before continuing, although the eldest prince was young, he was very generous, and he had to be cautious when he mentioned Liu Yi, he was called his son's father and not his name, and his intention was extremely obvious, and he wanted to repay Liu Huan as much as possible.
"Okay, I am cautious and clear, no wonder the drama military master asked you to help me, this matter in the Western Regions is for the glory of my Han, I don't need too many scruples in the future, just speak bluntly in front of me." Liu Huan turned his right palm into a fist, tapped the table and said, how could he not hear the meaning of Huang Shen's words, looking at this person's words and deeds, it seems that he is a talent that can be created, and it may not only be used in the Western Regions.
"Thank you for your trust, and you should do your best to help the eldest prince." Huang Shen's words were quite risky, but now listening to Liu Huan's words, his heart fell to the ground, and he bowed down and said that from now on, he will be the confidant of the eldest prince.
"I don't need to be polite, as long as you do your best, I won't treat you lightly." Liu Huan said with a smile.
"Eldest son, Madame has a moment in the hall." At this time, a family member came to the door to spread the word.
"Tomorrow is the wedding of the eldest son, this matter is still put aside for the time being, the war in Sizhou is not over, and the prince does not have to be busy for a while, now that the lady is called, the subordinates will leave first." Liu Huan got up when he heard this, Huang Shen also stepped forward to say, and the two went out of the house together, Liu Huan ordered someone to send Huang Shen back to the house, but he came to the hall, but at this time there was a happy look on his face.
"Hmph, a small state in the Western Regions wants to use me, so let me use it first." Thinking of a meeting with Ulrich that day, and Huang Shen's words today, Liu Huan already had a plan in his heart, I can't say that this person will also be called his arm and help in the Western Regions with today's Huang Shen, although that Bang woman is unique, but how can it be in my eyes?
Speaking of Liu Yi and Liu Huan, there are many similarities between the father and son, especially for the two of them, no matter what kind of tricks you use, you must not use beauty tricks, Liu Yi is the wolf king of the mountains and forests, and he is extremely determined, and this life can be described as a peerless beauty, that vision is not ordinarily high, Liu Huan inherited this advantage of his father, and he has seen all the beauties from the day he remembers, and the father and son here have extremely high immunity, so it is in vain.
When Liu Huan came to the front of the hall quickly, he saw that his mother, mother and aunt were all present, obviously waiting for him to have something to discuss, and immediately entered the house one by one and then stood aside and waited for instructions, knowing that it must be related to tomorrow's marriage.
