Chapter 1001 Overcome the Western Regions(1/2)

A team of envoys dressed in strange costumes entered one after another.

"See the Empress Dowager of the Great Han Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor. I wish the Empress Dowager both good fortune and longevity, and His Majesty the Emperor is invincible."

"You all came from afar, worked hard all the way, hurry up and settle down."

Liu He made many envoys stand up with a polite word.

Xu couldn't help but avoid it: "Huh... these people look really weird, they are really different from those of me in the Central Plains. Could it be that the ghosts from where they became transformed?"

Most of these people from the Western Regions look like Middle Eastern races. Liu He, who has traveled from modern times, is naturally not unfamiliar with this, but Xu has never seen it before, and he never even thought that people could still grow like this.

Zhang Yu, who was standing beside him, said softly: "Don't be surprised by my mother. These people are from foreign countries in the Western Regions. They are naturally somewhat different from us, but they are not ghosts."

Xu rubbed his chest and then calmed down.

Among the more than 20 people, a tall man walked out. He put his hand on his chest and saluted Liu He again.

"I am the envoy of Wusun State, Nanduohe. On behalf of us and other twenty-one countries, I would like to extend my most sincere blessings to the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty and present a gift."

Liu He looked at the envoys and saw that they did not seem to have any unexpected expressions when they stood up to this person, and he knew it in his heart.

"Sure enough, these guys had already secretly passed by before they came to our great Han Dynasty. Among the countries in the Western Regions, the Wusun Kingdom was a little stronger, so it was reasonable to let him be the representative."

But even though he knew in his heart, Liu He had no intention of exposing them just like that.

"Haha, there is no need to be too polite to envoys. Your country once joined forces with our Han Dynasty to attack the Huns hundreds of years ago, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of our country. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoxuan, he sent 150,000 troops to help your country resist the Huns. After defeating the Huns at that time, the countries in the Western Regions were completely freed from the control of the Huns. Therefore, the friendly and friendly relations between the countries and the Han Dynasty have a long history."

Liu He deliberately made Emperor Xuan of Han’s war to rescue the Wusun Kingdom in a particularly strong voice: “Now the rebellion of the Huns and Qiang people has been pacified, and the road to connecting the Western Regions between the Han Dynasty has been unobstructed again. The countries have suffered from rampant humiliation for decades, and now they have returned to the wings of our great Han Dynasty. From now on, they can rest assured.”

As soon as these words were spoken, many envoys began to whisper, and Nan Duohe also showed hesitation.

"This... is our honor to be a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. But..."

He turned around and looked back, and saw that among the group of envoys, one of them nodded to him, and Nan Duohe immediately understood.

Liu He also noticed this detail: "Well? Who is that person? Nan Duohe seems to be asking him for advice?"

However, Liu He did not have time to think about it carefully, and Nan Duohe said again: "However, we have heard that your country is in a civil strife, and there are still many rebels occupying half of your territory. Moreover, east of the Han Dynasty, there are Goguryeo, Wuhuan, and some Xianbei tribes, which still pose a threat to your country's borders. We are all small countries. If we become a vassal of your country, I wonder if Your Majesty has the confidence to protect the safety of all countries?"

"Arrogant!"

Guan Yu shouted angrily and glared at Nan Duohe: "Millions of troops in the court, wherever they go, the thieves are restrained, and they are invincible in the battle. You, a small Wusun Kingdom, dare to despise me. Do you know how to write the word "death" in Chinese?"

Guan Yu's majestic appearance and years of war made him full of bloody aura. At this time, Dan Feng's eyes glared, and Nan Duohe felt like he fell into an ice cave. A chill came out from the depths of his heart, scaring him to retreat repeatedly.

Many envoys couldn't help but lit up when they saw Guan Yu's divine appearance, as if they had more confidence in the strength of the Han Dynasty.

"Cough cough..." A light cough came. After hearing this, Nan Duohe immediately woke up from surprise.

He looked at Guan Yu with a correct expression and said, "Is this red-faced and long-bearded general, is General Guan Yu, who is intimidating Liangzhou?"

Seeing that his reputation had spread to the Western Regions thousands of miles away, Guan Yu had a little more proud look in the anger on his face.

"It's Guan."

Nan Duohe immediately showed admiration: "Although we are far away in the Western Regions, we have heard a lot of reputations about General Guan. In the words of you Han people, it is well-known. I think that there are hundreds of thousands of warriors in the Qiang tribes, which blocked the Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions. We have been disturbed for a long time and could not bear the humiliation. Unexpectedly, we were all subdued by the general in just two years. The general is really a godly general who was given to us by the God of Heaven."

Guan said proudly: "Just a few Qiang thieves, how can they compete with the power of our great Han? This is not Guan's merit, but because of the great reputation of the court and the great blessings of the emperor. If any general of our great Han Dynasty would be enough to eliminate the rebellion of the Qiang people."

As soon as he said this, Nan Duohe's expression immediately became a little skeptical: "Is this true? Then why has your country not suppressed the Goguryeo, the Wuhuan Rebellion, and the rebellion of several ministers of your country been unable to annihilate them? I think it must be because of the mediocre ability of other generals."

His words made the other generals present look dark in an instant.

"Hey, you slave..."

When Cheng Liang was about to happen, he was pushed down by Zhang Yong: "San brother, don't be impulsive. Look at the elder brother's face is calm and calm. I guess he has a way to deal with it. Let's not break the elder brother's plan."

When Cheng Liang heard this, he looked at Liu He and saw that Liu He looked confident.

"Well, it depends on how the elder brother deals with it. These slaves... I'm gonna..."

Guan Yu also looked very unhappy: "Don't talk nonsense like this guy. I am a powerful general in the Han Dynasty, more than just Guan?"

Nan Duohe spread his hands: "In terms of strength, I am not familiar with the rebellious ministers of your country, but the Goguryeo and the Wuhuan coalition are not necessarily much stronger than the Qiang tribes. General, you can siege the Qiang tribes, but other generals of your country cannot deal with the Goguryeo and the Wuhuan coalition. Isn't this the best proof?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several other envoys also agreed: "Yes, our countries are weak, and we want to be subordinates of other countries, so we can only seek peace. If the great man does not have such ability, it is better to trade equally in the future."

"The Kushan Empire has 100,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of infantry. In the past few years, it has won consecutive battles against Hualazimo and the Northern Huns' Royal Court. Last year, it captured more than 20 cities in the Poison Kingdom in one go. I think the Kushans are stronger."

These envoys all showed disdain, and there was a little sarcastic expression in these words, which made all the civil and military ministers present angry.

"Damn it, what are you talking about?"

"What is Kushan? Is it worth comparing with our great men? Is it the king's land in the world? Sooner or later, I will defeat the bullshit Kushan."

"You little country, a small place, we can send a single army to flatten you all, and dare to be so arrogant in front of our Majesty and the Queen Mother, you are so arrogant and ignorant."

"Your Majesty, these people are called envoys, but they are not etiquette and do not understand education. They dare to speak rudely at the Queen Mother's birthday party and offend Tianyan. Please kill them on the spot to give full play to our great Han Dynasty."

When they heard that they were going to kill them, these envoys suddenly became panicked.

At this time, a somewhat crisp voice came from the mission, and I don’t know what the envoy of the country said.

"The Han people have a saying, "If two countries do not kill the envoys, we will come to celebrate our birthdays, and we are not here to fight. You Han people call themselves a country of etiquette. Is it just like this that you treat guests?"

"Who is so arrogant? Do you really think I am a man without a man?" Grand Marshal Yang Biao raised his face, glanced at the mission, and shouted coldly.

Seeing that the two sides were at a strife, Liu He waved his hand: "Everyone is retreating, this is a birthday party. Do you want the Empress Dowager to have blood on her fifty birthday?"

When everyone heard this, they came to their senses. This was a birthday party. How could they shout and fight and kill in front of the empress dowager?

"I am missing my etiquette, but I am waiting for thousands of deaths."

"Okay, let's go back." Naturally, no one dared to obey Liu He's words. All the ministers, although they were still very angry, returned to their seats obediently.

Liu He looked at the mission and glanced at it for a few times, trying to find the person he had just spoken, but the other party obviously intended to avoid it, which made him unable to find a clue at all, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Haha, just Goguryeo, Wuhuan and other generations, the scrambled people are not worth mentioning. My second brother, Guan Yunchang, is a world-class general. Why should he go to such a villain? There are so many good generals in our country, more than a thousand people? Anyone who is a general is enough to defeat the enemy."

Nan Duohe smiled: "Your Majesty's power, and foreign ministers have heard a lot. It's not that the foreign ministers don't believe it, but that they are just empty talk. It's easy to say it. If you really want to do it, I'm afraid it's..."

"What? Do you suspect that I am bullying others with big words?"

"Foreign ministers dare not, just..."

At this moment, a shout came from outside: "Good news...Eight hundred miles of good news..."

When Liu He heard this voice, the corner of his mouth suddenly rose slightly: "There is a good news from the front line, please come quickly."

Soon, under the escort of the Imperial Guard, a soldier raised a roll of cloth over his head with both hands, ran over quickly, and knelt in front of Liu He.

"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Youzhou's great victory. General Ma Chao knew that today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, so he failed to return in time to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager. He specially used this good news as a gift to wish the Empress Dowager as good as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain."

Xu smiled happily: "General Ma is a loyal and brave man. He can be loyal to the country and work hard for the court, which is the best gift."

Many envoys from the Western Regions looked at each other at this time. They naturally knew where Youzhou was in the Han Dynasty, and they knew the war in Youzhou and who was fighting with him. When they heard that the good news came from Youzhou, they had to think a lot.

Liu He looked happy: "Okay, Meng Qi really deserves my hope. Come and remember the good news so that the Empress Dowager and all the ministers will know."

"The villain obeys the order." The soldier immediately launched the good news and started to recite.

"My general in Zhenbei, Ma Chao, worships His Majesty in Liaodong: I and other generals, brought Liaodong, the prefect of Beiping, and Xianbei Shanyu, first defeated the rebel Kebieneng on the grassland, then defeated Goguryeo, and Wuhuan coalition in Beiping. Everyone was scared and everyone was cold. Our army took advantage of the victory to advance, swept Liaodong, killed the bandits, and killed the enemy chiefs. Within three days, they chased for more than 700 miles, and finally took the head of the Goguryeo Kingdom, and presented the seal with his king before His Majesty's jade stairs."

The best news was shocked by everyone.

"Goguryeo lost?"

"See this... Kebineng and the king of Goguryeo have all been killed?"

"Our ancestors are blessed, and our ancestors are blessed. With this battle, the northern border of the Han Dynasty will be completely stable from then on."

All the ministers were very happy and excited.

The envoys of the Western Regions became more and more surprised. As soon as they talked about the war in Youzhou, the good news suddenly came, which made them feel a little suspicious.

"Hahaha... I'm so slave, what else do you have to say?" Cheng Liang only felt very happy.

Nan Duohe twitched his mouth and said, "It's not that the foreign minister dares to doubt Your Majesty, it's just... it's just that the good news is true or false, and it's really hard for the foreign minister to tell."

"You are a mess..." Cheng Liang was furious and waved his iron fist, trying to rush up and beat him up.

Liu He immediately stopped: "Third brother, leave."

Then, he said to Nam Duohe: "You don't think you know what the King of Goguryeo looks like. It's really not easy to tell me. However, I guess you can recognize this King of Goguryeo, right?"

Nan Duohe immediately nodded: "Although we all have no relationship with Goguryeo, we can naturally distinguish the seal of the king. Moreover, someone has left behind a portrait of the seal of the King of Goguryeo, and there are also descriptions of it in the book. If the foreign ministers see it, they can recognize it."

"That's great." Liu He turned his head to look at the soldier: "You will hand over the captured golden seal of the Goguryeo King to this envoy for a review."

The soldier did not dare to be negligent, and immediately took out a cloth bag from his arms, walked respectfully to Nan Duohe, and handed it to him with both hands.

Nan Duohe took it suspiciously, opened the cloth bag, and opened a brocade box inside. Sure enough, there was a gold seal the size of a fist.

"This...this is..."

Nan Duohe was a little excited, and his hands were trembling and holding up the golden seal, up, down, left and right, carefully checking it over and over again.

After looking at it for a long time, Nan Duohe's eyes gradually widened, and his lips trembled slightly.

The other envoys behind him were a little impatient and urged: "Nan Duohe, do you know whether it is true or not?"

Nan Duohe nodded vigorously: "You can't be wrong, you can't be wrong. This golden seal is exactly the same as the records and pictures I have seen before, and there is no difference at all. It must be the golden seal of King Goguryeo."

"Wow..." The many envoys were shocked in an instant.
To be continued...
