"Not necessarily, Turpan is very cunning and treacherous, it may be that the alliance is broken, and they take refuge in Dawei."

There is a lot of speculation about this news. Especially the Seven Kingdoms, after so many soldiers died, the alliance eventually collapsed, and Turpan became a vassal country, and they were even more unhappy.

When the people of Great Wei learned the news, the whole country celebrated, which means that the country is strong, so that other countries can take the initiative to become vassal countries.

As a citizen of Great Wei, I am proud.

The stronger the country, the stronger the national heart.

One after another important events in the court were announced, and the people almost forgot about the parchment scroll, and they were dedicated to Li Xingchen, their powerful monarch.

However, regarding the Sanskrit text in the upper right corner of the parchment scroll, although there is no evidence that it was done by the Western Heavenly Buddha, everyone thinks so.

Slandering the king of a country at will, this matter is still very serious, and it is impossible to stop it, so some people are silently paying attention to the trend.

Two days later, the Grand Duke came to report that the envoy from Loulan in the Western Regions had arrived.

Li Xingchen immediately met with the envoy.

I have to say that the moment he saw the messenger, Li Xingchen was moved, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the past, the envoys who came were all relatively calm middle-aged or even elderly, but the one sent by Loulan was a beautiful woman who fell into the country and the city, which was very charming.

It's an exotic beauty, a wild beauty, the skin is wonderful, and the main thing is that it's young...

Li Xingchen, who is over thirty, to tell the truth, has lost most of his sexual interest to Chu Li and Dugu Ling, and he is currently a willow, and he can still patronize it from time to time.

As for the other two, because they are a couple in distress who came with him when he was young, their hearts are more family and friendship.

Although they are not old and still beautiful, when they are men, especially the kings of a country, they can have more choices.

Li Xingchen looked Loulan's envoy up and down, touching his chin, no wonder the ancestors liked to fight the Western Regions, it turned out to be like this.

"Meet Your Majesty Great Wei." The messenger saluted, followed by the attendants behind him.

"Sit." Li Xingchen nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Loulan envoy got up and sat aside.

"What is the so-called reason for your envoy to come this time?" Li Xingchen smiled.

"It is the case that our country is in an unprecedented crisis. Our Loulan country and the Han people have had trade contacts since ancient times, and most of the merchants of your country will flow into our country, which has not changed for hundreds of years.

But two years ago, Gao Changguo began to raise the idea of our country, let our country give up all the trading places, and set up many unreasonable treaties, so that the Han people's trading places changed, so that they were unwilling to stay in our country, which had a great impact on our country.

It also had an impact on the trade of the Han people, and it became difficult to trade goods. And after a long journey, many Han people died of thirst and starvation on the roadside when they came and went to trade.

Gao Changguo's move was obviously aimed at the Han Chinese, hoping that the Great Wei would impose sanctions. ”

When the envoy spoke, he looked at Li Xingchen from time to time, wanting to see his face, but found that Li Xingchen had no expression, and couldn't help but be nervous.

No expression is the most terrible, I don't know what the other party is thinking.

Either they don't take the lives of Han people who pass by Loulan to do business in their eyes, or they don't take the life and death of Loulan Kingdom into account, or they have other ideas.

Of course, she is more inclined to the third point.

Li Xingchen suddenly laughed and looked at her playfully, "What your country means is that you want my country to send troops." ”

"With this intention, I don't know if Your Majesty can send troops to relieve this crisis." The Loulan envoy nodded, with hope in his eyes.

Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Loulan is too far away from Great Wei, and the cost of sending troops is huge.

The Great Wei is now cooperating with the Turpan state, and there is no surplus grain to send troops to distant places for the time being. ”

"Would you like to help?"

The Loulan envoy frowned slightly, thinking that what Li Xingchen said meant that if there was food, he would send troops?

Is it that simple?

It is rumored that the Great Wei Emperor's city is very deep, and he will never do anything that is not beneficial, so this must be an excuse for him to shirk.

Li Xingchen shrugged, "There is no food, there is no surplus food." What's more, I just said that there is cooperation with Turpan. Loulan is too far away, I don't know how much food will be consumed, this busy Dawei can't help..."

"But Your Majesty, your people are being bullied in Loulan, and they don't care just because they don't have food?" The messenger is colorful.

Then he beckoned behind him.

An attendant took out the gift box and respectfully placed it on the dragon case.

Li Xingchen opened it, it was a piece of high-quality jade with the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer, with a transparent texture and a lot of value at a glance.

The shot was generous, and the meeting gift was quite satisfying.

Li Xingchen closed the lid and said indifferently: "If you are bullied outside, you will come back."

And when you are bullied, you want the country to send troops all the way to seek justice for them? Does that make sense? Why don't you think about the country when you usually evade taxes? ”

The little girl, thinking that a piece of jade could make Da Wei send troops, thought about whether it was too beautiful.

The face of the Loulan envoy froze.

Is he reluctant to send troops, or does he intend to send troops, but he doesn't send troops easily.

The Loulan envoy asked tentatively, "May I ask Your Majesty, what conditions are required to send troops to sanction Gaochangguo?" ”

Understand the situation before making a decision.

"It has already been said that there is no surplus food to fight." Li Xingchen smiled a little meaningfully, but still did not mention conditions.

If you don't press the other party to be cornered, will the other party agree to negotiate conditions? This is Li Xingchen's clever move.

Sure enough, a flash of panic flashed in the eyes of the Loulan envoy, and he quickly calmed down.

"You don't need many troops, as long as you send fewer people to make a show, Gao Changguo will definitely be afraid of Your Majesty's dragon power and Great Wei's heavenly might.

Among them, all the expenses of the soldiers in the past were provided by our country free of charge. ”

She couldn't figure out what Li Xingchen wanted, so she asked him to put forward the conditions, but he didn't mention it, I'm afraid it wasn't because of the food problem.

It's a pity that when I met Li Xingchen for the first time, I didn't know much about him, and a lot of it was based on hearsay.

In the midst of the lightning and fire, the Loulan envoy simply shook his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, to tell the truth, the Gaochang Kingdom has launched a war and annexed the two countries in the Western Regions.

Now I forcibly want my country to surrender, otherwise I will have to set foot in Loulan. ”

The beautiful eyes of the Loulan envoy were full of intense anxiety.

As the saintess of Loulan, she can't accept that Loulan was destroyed, which is a great shame.

Moreover, in Loulan, the status of the saint is second only to the king, and it can even be said that she is on an equal footing with the king, and the people of Loulan are equal to her people.

Therefore, the holy woman of a country acted as a messenger in a hurry and went to Dawei in person.

Li Xingchen didn't feel much strange about her identity, but he was surprised that Gao Chang still had this kind of strength?

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, each of which is a projectile, have lived in peace since ancient times, but there are only small frictions.

Although among the thirty-six countries, Gaochang is relatively strong, it is the first time that its ambitions have expanded and annexed the surrounding projectiles.
