Chapter 1032

~5 min read 858 words

Xun You will serve as the Protector of the Western Regions, and Xi Zhicai will serve as the Wuji Commandant.

Lu Bu and Qu Yi will be stationed there respectively.

Lu Bu, wearing beast-faced swallowing armor and a hundred-flower battle robe, flushed red, stood up and patted his chest armor with a clanging sound:

"King of Loulan, don't worry, with me, Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan, here, what King of Wusun, as long as they dare to come, I will turn them all into Skeleton Kings!"

"Although my martial arts are not as good as the Lord's, apart from the Lord, no one in the world can compare to me."

Zhao Yun, standing not far from Duan Yu, rolled his eyes.

Duan Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Fengxian, sit down."

Tonggeluojia had seen the proud soldiers and fierce generals under Duan Yu's command.

And having received Duan Yu's personal promise, the heart that had been hanging was also let down.

"The small king understands, the small king understands." Tonggeluojia nodded hurriedly and said: "It's just... the small king has one more request."

Duan Yu waved his hand.

"It is like this, Great General of the Heavenly Dynasty, the small king is old now, and there is only one eldest son in the country, and no other heirs."

"If I send a prince as a hostage, I am afraid... I am afraid there is no one..."

"No!"

Before Tonggeluojia's words were finished, he was directly interrupted by Xun You, who stood up below.

Xun You, who stood up, shook his head at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu understood in a second and did not speak.

Xun You's meaning was very simple.

Blind tolerance cannot win respect and awe.

Only by combining kindness and power can long-term peace be maintained.

It is true that the Western Regions countries often rely on the Great Han.

But they are also famous for being fickle.

When the Great Han first contacted the Western Regions, the Protector of the Western Regions, Chen Mu, who was sent at that time, was killed by the joint attack of the fickle Yanqi and Guizi of the Western Regions.

So kindness alone is not enough; one must combine kindness and power.

Xun You, who stood up, first bowed to Duan Yu, and then said to the King of Loulan: "King of Loulan, without rules, there is no square."

"Sending hostages has been the rule since the opening of the Western Regions."

"Countries that attach themselves to the Great Han must send hostages to the Great Han."

"The Lord can provide protection for the Loulan Kingdom, but similarly, the Loulan Kingdom must also set an example."

"If all the countries in the Western Regions use this reason to refuse to send hostages to the Great Han, and the Loulan Kingdom sets a precedent, then how can the Lord be fair?"

A look of difficulty immediately appeared on the face of the King of Loulan, Tonggeluojia.

"The small king understands the words of the Heavenly Dynasty's envoy, but..."

"Father King!"

Just as Tonggeluojia's voice sounded.

A woman's voice suddenly interrupted Tonggeluojia's words.

Duan Yu looked in the direction the voice came from.

I saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, hanging with various silver ornaments and jewelry, standing up.

The woman wore a white veil on her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

But her slender waist and long, beautiful legs were clearly revealed from beneath her cool attire.

Han Dynasty women are mostly reserved, and their clothing is the same.

From inside to outside, there are undergarments, robes, and a layer of gauze on the outside.

But the clothing of Western Regions women is more daring.

Large areas of fair skin are exposed.

Duan Yu knew who this woman who stood up was.

The King of Loulan, Tonggeluojia, had already introduced her before.

This is Tonggeluojia's daughter, the Princess of the Loulan Kingdom, Andiluoga.

After standing up, Andiluoga placed her right hand on her chest and bowed to Duan Yu, then raised her head and said: "Noble Great General of the Heavenly Dynasty, my brother cannot go, but I can replace my brother. If the Great General of the Heavenly Dynasty allows it, I am even willing to serve the Great General of the Heavenly Dynasty."

This...

The expression on Xun You's face stiffened.

To serve.

This is different from being a hostage.

With the strength of the Loulan Kingdom.

Wanting to marry into Liangzhou, I am afraid it is still a bit lacking.

A tiny country, although she is a princess, Duan Yu is the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households of the Great Han Dynasty and the Shepherd of Liangzhou.

With the current economic and livelihood scale of Liangzhou, one Liangzhou is enough to match the entire Western Regions.

But to say to serve...

It is also okay.

At the very least, this is an attitude.

And one cannot push too hard.

"Lord, this matter is worth discussing." Xun You said, bowing.

Duan Yu, holding the wine glass, twitched the corners of his mouth...

Xun Gongda, can you have some stance and restraint? ===== CHAPTER 1034 =====
