Chapter 10: Home and Country
Zhaode Hall fell silent in an instant, as the Queen of Guishan, Lan Zhan, who was able to set off a storm on the grassland, was naturally very beautiful, but it was not so beautiful that the group of civil and military forces under Lu Bu lost their voices, what was really surprising was that Her Majesty, who should have been extremely noble, was actually silenced, no wonder the general was so arrogant, as a queen, but he didn't say anything.

"Is it really a special way for your country to pay tribute to the Queen?" Lu Bu stretched out his hand and helped her take off the brocade that was sealed on her mouth, but Lan Zhan looked at Lu Bu with complicated eyes, her beautiful eyes flashing with a little stubbornness, a little resentment and a trace of friendship.
"Temujin~" Lan Zhan looked at Lu Bu, and finally bit his lip and said, "I need your help." β
"I can see it." Lu Bu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Take it!" β
The guards of the Guishan Kingdom who accompanied the upper hall wanted to resist, but where was the opponent of the hussar guards, in a moment, they were taken down by the hussars in one fell swoop and escorted down.
In the open space outside the Zhaode Palace, Xiong Kuohai and the Semu general have been on their horses separately, and the things above the main hall have not yet been known, the Semu general waved the strange blade in his hand and confronted Xiongkuohai, Lu Bu took the ministers out of the Zhaode Palace, Lan Zhan was a little worried: "Temujin, Bahanna is the first warrior of the Kushan Kingdom, it is he who escorted our mother and son out of the royal city, but he was angry and set us up. β
"Remember, my name is Lu Bu, the general of the Great Han Hussars, and the champion Hou!" Lu Bu turned his head, glanced at Lan Zhan, and said indifferently: "Temujin, it's just my pseudonym. β
What else did Lan Zhan want to say, in front of the main hall, the two generals had already urged the war horses to rush forward.
"Bang~"
In a deafening muffled sound, the imaginary situation of the dragon and tiger did not happen, and Bahanna's Qimen blade was knocked out by the majestic sea, and when the two horses were staggered, Xiongkuohai turned around on the horse's back, and the cooked copper rod was thrown back fiercely, making a series of rapid gas explosions in the air, and slapping on Bahanna's back.
"Click~"
Bahanna's body was directly knocked up from the horse's back by a huge force, a large piece of his back was sunken inward, and he fell to the ground with a click, and was trampled by the two bowl-sized iron hooves of the war horse that rushed up later, and his limbs twitched a few times, and he was silent.
"The first warrior of the Kushan Country?" Lu Bu glanced at Bahanna's dead corpse, and shook his head amusedly, I really don't know what this person is doing here?
Lan Zhan's eyes widened in surprise, and he reached out to cover Sakura's lips, looking at this scene incredulously.
Lu Bu returned to the Zhaode Palace, and someone went to clean up Bahanna's body, for Chang'an Wenwu, this state envoy was rude first, provocative last, and he deserved to die, but this Guishan Queen......
"Your Excellency General, my Kushan Kingdom is now divided, and my son, the King of Kushan Kingdom, has been vacated by the regent since he fled to Bactria, and this time he came because the regent hoped to establish diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, and asked for a support army to help him quell the domestic rebellion." Lan Zhan bowed slightly to Lu Bu and said, "Xiao Wang implores that Your Excellency the General can send troops to help my son regain power, and Guishuang is willing to pay tribute to the Great Han Heavenly Dynasty." β
"No!" Chen Gong stood up, frowned and glanced at Lan Zhan, and arched his hand to Lu Bu: "Lord, Guishuang is not a thousand miles according to this, if the situation is delicate today, the princes are eyeing our Guanzhong, if you rashly send troops to aid Guishan, not to mention the long distance and huge consumption, if the princes come to attack at this time, how can our army resist the enemy?" β
The pay and harvest are unequal, even if Guishuang is laid in the end, it will be the fulfillment of Lan Zhan's mother and son, but for Lu Bu, there is no benefit, but countless manpower and material resources are consumed, which is absolutely inconsistent with Lu Bu's interests.
Lu Bu nodded, looked at Lan Zhan and said: "This matter is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of Li people in Guanzhong, and I can support the DPRK, but it is not possible to send troops." β
"But ......" Lan Zhan's face changed slightly, and when he looked at Lu Bu, a trace of struggle flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He...... It's your son! β
"What?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Lan Zhan, his gaze gradually becoming fierce: "Queen Guishuang, you can't talk nonsense. β
"Why talk nonsense." Lan Zhan looked at Lu Bu without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "General, do you still remember what you did to me when you assumed the name Temujin in the Xianbei Royal Court?" β
Lu Xun and Gu Shao looked at this scene with interest, Lu Bufeng wolf Juxu, the world sang, there are countless versions circulating among the people, and now it seems that the story is more interesting than those versions circulated among the people.
Chen Gong, Fu Zhu, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others all became not very good-looking, this kind of thing is not ugly, but if the King of Guishan is really the son of Lu Bu, then the matter will be difficult to do.
"Scatter!" Lu Bu waved his hand with a dark face: "Other matters, we will discuss it tomorrow, and send the Jiangdong envoy and the Queen of Kushan back to the Sifang Hall first." β
"Wait for the resignation!" All the civil and military officers stood up, bowed to Lu Bu, and then retreated.
"My lord." After everyone retired, Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong, the four henchmen, stayed, looked at Lu Bu, and Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "If the situation is delicate today, I can't wait to interfere in the matter of Guishuang." β
"I know." Lu Bu nodded, with his current status, he can't be emotional, let's not talk about whether what Lan Zhan said is true, even if it is, can he take advantage of the forces he has worked so hard to manage for the sake of Guishuang, which is thousands of miles away? There are also his children here, in the past five years, Liu Yun, Yang Xi, Cai Yan, Zhen Mi and Da Qiao have given birth to three sons and two daughters for him, how can he be reluctant?
found a chair to sit down, Lu Bu leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and muttered: "Although this woman doesn't have much ability, her ambition is not small, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. β
When everyone heard this, they were silent, after all, this was Lu Bu's private matter, and they were not good at evaluating it.
After a long time, Lu Bu opened his eyes and looked at everyone: "Don't worry, you can rest assured, which is more important, I can tell clearly, it is impossible to send troops to Guishuang, if that is really my ......"
It's a bit of a trick, and if it's his son, it's not a problem to be left to fend for himself.
"Why don't you let them attach it?" Jia Xu suddenly smiled.
Lu Bu nodded, this idea has also been used, if you can let the Guishan country attach, even if it is only a part of it, at least on the Silk Road, Lu Bu will have a greater right to speak, but the King of Guishan, who is suspected to be his son, has been set aside by the so-called regent, even if Lan Zhan agrees, isn't sending it tantamount to throwing himself into the net?
"And what should the Lord Regent do? We can't send troops and horses over. Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
"Then it depends on how much influence this Kushan queen still has in Kushan." Jia Xu smiled and said: "If she can have a group of dead soldiers, control an area in a short period of time, kill the regent, and it is not difficult to regain control of the military and government, the minister is only afraid...... If the time comes, after Queen Kushan returns to power, she may not be willing to attach it. β
Lu Bu nodded, indeed, this woman has a great desire for power, and Guishuang is thousands of miles away, it is not easy to master, Guishuang is equivalent to an enclave for herself, even if she doesn't admit it afterwards, Lu Bu can't do anything about her.
"I don't care about this in advance, can I know what the Jiangdong envoy is doing when he comes to Chang'an this time?" Lu Bu shook his head, this matter is beyond his own reach, and there are too many unpredictable factors, Lan Zhan, a woman, has no other skills, but the ability to lie without changing her color has been practiced.
"According to the detailed report of our army in Jiangdong, Sun Quan intends to form an alliance with our army, and Lu Xun and Gu Shao came here for this matter, but since these two entered Chang'an, they have never mentioned this matter." Chen Gong said with a smile.
"After seeing the prosperity of my Chang'an, if you are still willing to mention the alliance, then you can let Yang Yishan try to contact it and secretly surrender." Lu Bu shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and at the same time he was a little helpless, Chang'an is prosperous and strong, and it is still getting stronger, every year there will be a large number of people from the land of the Kwantung princes to trade, let Lu Bu infiltrate the Central Plains step by step with the economy, but also make the Central Plains princes wary of Lu Bu.
"There are some things that we think too simply." Lu Bu sighed and looked at everyone: "I originally wanted to conquer the Central Plains without blood, but now it seems that it is empty talk. β
At the beginning, after LΓΌ Bu continued to prosper in Chang'an's economy and successfully subdued more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions quietly in the form of economic control, he proposed to infiltrate the Central Plains in the same way, and finally unify the Central Plains in a bloodless way.
This idea is not without basis, and more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions are the best examples, but this method encountered obstacles when it penetrated into the Central Plains.
Whether Cao Cao or Liu Bei, Lu Bu has been studying for many years, including the decrees implemented by Lu Bu, each of them, will be carefully studied, and the way of Lu Bu's economic penetration is naturally seen through by them, these years, although they have been learning from the introduction of Lu Bu's technology in people's livelihood, but the restrictions on Lu Bu's caravan are extremely great, and the caravan under his rule must also be allowed to trade after obtaining Cao Cao's permission, and it is strictly monitored by the government, and most of the income goes to the government, for many of Lu Bu's means of economic infiltration, Most of the time, they use one hand and one hand to defend, which also makes Lu Bu not as ideal as he was when he dealt with the countries of the Western Regions in terms of economic infiltration.
In fact, Lu Bu very much hopes to be able to peacefully solve the Central Plains and unify the country, which is definitely a great blessing for the people of the Central Plains, but now it seems that the original idea is still a little taken for granted, although Lu Bu has improved the status of the merchants, but under the rule of the princes, it is still based on farming, and the way of economic penetration cannot disturb its roots.
Both sides are holding their strength, no one wants to start a war lightly, but they know that this battle cannot be avoided, and now there is only one fuse left, and when this fuse is ignited, it will be the day when the war in the Central Plains will start again. (To be continued.) )
