Ban Yu was not a fool. After hearing Tian Feng's words, he understood what Hua Xia meant. He was afraid that Lou Lan would do it again. Who could bear this?
"Also, I am going to propose to Your Majesty that you become the new king of Loulan. Are you willing to lead the Loulan Kingdom to completely surrender to the Chinese Empire?"
Glancing at Banyu, although he hesitated, the next words made it difficult for him to hesitate.
"Banyu is willing to lead Loulan to surrender to China completely, and it will never be repeated for generations to come, and Loulan Kingdom will also remember the Prime Minister's contribution to the cause."
After hearing this, Banyu no longer hesitated and kowtowed to Tian Feng again.
"Okay, there's no need for this, as long as you Lou Lan can keep your heart."
Tian Feng also shook his head. He is a dignified minister of China. Would he care about the respect of a county like you?
He really doesn't like it.
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
Banyu banged his head and kowtowed to the ground again. Although he was the prime minister in Loulan, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but even if his status was just lower than that of one person, it might be a journey that he would never finish in his lifetime. Now he
It can be regarded as a step to the sky. How can we not be grateful to Tian Feng?
"Okay, go down and tidy up your appearance. I will take you to see His Majesty tomorrow."
To be honest, Tian Feng really couldn't stand it when the other party was like this.
"promise."
Banyu still didn't get up, and walked backwards out of Tian Feng's tent on his knees. He got up after leaving the tent, and then returned to his own tent.
At dawn the next day, Tian Feng came directly to see Yuan Shu.
"Your Majesty, the deal is settled. This is a good idea, pious enough, and humble enough. I have promised to advise you on the matter of appointing him as the new king of Loulan."
Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shu and directly told what happened during yesterday's meeting.
"If that's the case, why don't you meet him, even though Loulan is nothing more than that."
Since Tian Feng has already met Ban Yu, Yuan Shu has nothing to say, so he still needs to meet him.
"No, I will arrange for him to come over and have an audience."
Tian Feng nodded, saluted again and arranged for Banyu to come over to see him.
"Loulan Banyu bows to His Majesty the Emperor."
Banyu didn't dare to look at Yuan Shu's face when he entered the room. He praised him again and knelt down on the ground, his big face directly pressed against the ground.
"Get up and talk. Just now Tian Feng said that he wants me to support you in becoming the King of Loulan. Are you willing?"
Looking at the pious words, Yuan Shu also nodded. This attitude is indeed okay.
"Banyu is willing to lead Loulan to serve His Majesty and never betray him in this life."
When these words came out of Yuan Shu's mouth, it was basically a done deal. He could only kowtow to show his sincerity.
"Okay, get up and follow the army southward. When we reach Loulan, you can deal with the King of Loulan. Is it possible?"
Yuan Shu glanced at the other party and wanted to express his position. He had to hand over his name first. To be honest, he didn't like the other party, but he still had to do what he had to do. At the very least, he had to force him to the opposite side so that he could feel relieved.
"The banyu obeys the order."
Yuan Shu has said this, what else can he say in banyu? For his own future and the safety of Loulan Kingdom, let alone killing King Loulan, he is willing to let him run naked.
"Okay, let's get down."
"promise."
Although Yuan Shu asked him to get up, Banyu still didn't get up and walked backwards out of the tent.
"Okay, tell the army to set off and go to Loulan."
"promise."
Yuan Shu gave the order and the army immediately set up camp and headed towards Loulan.
Yan Liang was back with Yan Xing, and nearly 100,000 cavalrymen escorted more than 200,000 Huns across Wubu Houcheng, and then headed towards Liangzhou. At the same time, Zhao Yun was also ready to go towards Yanqi.
After a few more days, Yan Liang finally set foot on the highway just built by the Construction Corps. The speed of walking on the newly built road to Liangzhou suddenly increased, and he rushed directly to Liangzhou.
After handing over to the people arranged by Xun You, the army turned around and headed towards Wutu Valley.
Yuan Shu's army went all the way south and finally arrived at Loulan territory after walking on the long yellow sand. Then he ordered Banyu to lead ten thousand cavalry directly to the capital of Loulan King, Wanni City.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Banyu is back, but he brought 10,000 cavalry here and has now entered the city."
Banyu returned and took people directly into the city, but someone immediately came to report the news to Anqi.
"Bringing ten thousand cavalry?
What does he mean?"
Hearing that Ban Yu actually brought 10,000 cavalry into the city, An Qi was also stunned. You said you would come back as soon as possible. What did you mean by bringing the Chinese people here?
"I don't know, should we welcome you?"
The person who came to report was also stunned. How could he know why the other party brought people back? It was very difficult for him.
"Of course I have to welcome you and come out with me."
An Qi straightened his clothes and came out with the courtiers in the palace to welcome the arrival of the army.
"General, that is King Loulan."
Banyu glanced at An Qi who appeared in front of the palace, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Take them all."
The captain Chen Chi who followed also nodded. The current situation is like this. He is here to support Ban Yu. Now that the person has been confirmed, there is nothing more to say.
The cavalry advanced, riding rumbling horse hooves, directly in front of An Qi. Then the cavalry dismounted and directly controlled An Qi and everyone around him.
"What's the meaning?
Banyu, what does this mean?”
An Qi was completely confused. He really didn't understand what was going on.
"The guilty minister An Qi brought trouble to Loulan and disrespected his country. I will now kill him on behalf of the Chinese Empire to thank the emperor."
Banyu looked at the confused An Qi, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, then he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and chopped off the opponent's head with one blow.
"ah."
"Banyu, how dare you do the following."
"Reverse, reverse."
Everyone was stunned when they saw Banyu chop off King Loulan's head.
"Behead all the remaining ministers."
Since Banyu had already beheaded King Loulan, not to mention these close ministers, he walked over and cut them all off one by one.
"Come into the palace and leave no one behind."
Ban Yu could not control the Chinese cavalry who followed him, but the five hundred cavalry who followed him north completely surrendered to the other party. After all, China's strength was so strong that no one dared to have a rebellious heart and follow Ban Yu.
Following King Loulan will only lead to death.
Five hundred cavalrymen dismounted directly, rushed into the palace, and then began a bloody feast.
After everything was done, all the residents of Wuni City were gathered together, and then Chen Chi read out Yuan Shu's canonization decree, naming Banyu as the new king of the Loulan Kingdom.
With the support of the great empire of China, no one refused to accept Banyu. First, all the generals in the country swore allegiance, and then officials from various ministries also surrendered.
After the throne was secured, Banyu immediately launched a round of purges, uprooting the forces in the country that were close to the original King of Loulan. Later, he announced the dispatch of four thousand troops and ten thousand camels to support Yuan Shu on his western expedition.
When Yuan Shu's army arrived, they also arrived at Wuni City. Soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, while Yuan Shu entered the city under the protection of the guards.
When Yuan Shu entered the city, Banyu, as the host, arranged a grand dinner, during which there was naturally an exotic Loulan dance to add to the fun. However, Yuan Shu had no idea about these. After everything was over, he called Tian Feng together.
"Your Majesty, why don't you use those Loulan beauties to serve you?"
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu and couldn't help but smile. After all, the other party had arranged many beauties for Yuan Shu, but he rejected them all.
"I came here to conquer Kushan, not to conquer those who have something but don't have it."
Yuan Shu shook his head. It wasn't that he wasn't attracted to women, but that he had seen Chinese beauties and had no feelings for Loulan Meiji, who was presented by Banyu.
"Why did your Majesty call me here?"
Tian Feng still smiled. What should I say about Yuan Shu? He was strict in self-discipline and had sex with Mrs. Zhu Rong. Let's say he was not strict. He seemed to have never had any crooked thoughts about women during the war.
.
"Loulan has been captured now. The next step is to go to Jingjue. Now that I am the king of a country, I should just capture Jingjue in the name of Loulan."
Yuan Shu looked at Tian Feng and directly expressed his thoughts.
If there is one country and one king, there will be no way for a larger country to emerge in the Western Region. This is still beneficial to governance, but as the number of kings increases, unstable factors will also increase. If the country is weak, its ability to resist external forces will become weaker.
,
However, if the Western Regions are briefly unified, although the country will become stronger, it may be a disaster once the rulers betray China as time goes by.
"I feel that it is better to have one country and one king. A powerful Western Region is definitely detrimental to the rule of the empire. As for the external forces you mentioned, there should still be some.
But as long as the empire is strong, these are not problems, but once a country in the Western Region becomes strong, the consequences will be disastrous."
Tian Feng has actually considered Yuan Shu's concerns a long time ago. If the Western Regions do not want to betray, the biggest reason is not external, but internal.
After all, people's minds change. If the monarch of the Western Regions really feels that he is capable and starts a rebellion against China, this will be a bit troublesome.
"Well, then as you said, one country and one king will do this to prevent any problems in the Western Regions."
One country, one king is actually not bad. At least Yuan Shu now has systematic help. He can detect the loyalty of anyone. As long as they have different intentions towards him, he can detect it immediately and kill them when they need to be killed. This is not true at all.
question.
"I understand. If nothing happens, I will leave temporarily."
Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shu.
"Well, let's go down and rest. I'm tired after traveling for such a long time."
"promise."
Tian Feng left directly, leaving only Yuan Shu to rest here.
"For what?"
Dian Wei was guarding the palace and watched Banyu come with two veiled Loulan women.
"Reporting to the general, the people at night may not be to your Majesty's liking. I have specially selected two beauties and want them to serve Your Majesty."
