Sunset Loulan

The Shansan King was so scared that his whole body was trembling. He thought to himself, "Who knows?" However, it was true that all the Huns had died. Even if the head wasn't one of the Huns' envoys, there would always be a head in the official relay. The King of Shanshan knew Ban Chao was right, he had no other way out. With so many Huns dead in Shanshan, he could only protect himself by forming an alliance with the big man. He just did not know if the Han army would arrive within three days, as Ban Chao had said.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then announced to the crowd, "I am grateful from above that Ban Chao punished the Lone King for committing adultery. I am willing to form an eternal alliance with the big man to fight against the Huns!"

When Ban Chao and the others heard this, they burst into laughter. Just at that moment, the burning hundred-foot tall building behind them collapsed with a loud bang.

From then on, whether Shanhai was a blessing or a curse was hard to predict. As the king watched the building collapse, he couldn't help but cry in front of the crowd.

Because he knew that although it was an alliance, from now on, Shanshan was the man's vassal state. Which monarch would be willing to make his country a subsidiary of another country? This was something he had no choice but to do.

At this moment, Huyan Jie refused to show up, and the Chinese were so cruel and brave. What would they do if they were killed by King Ci? If this decision was announced in front of so many citizens, the king would feel bitter and humiliated, so who would know?

Ban Chao, on the other hand, was very observant. He guessed what the king was thinking and laughed, "Your Majesty, you are a merciful and merciful man, even if the Huns were to die, Your Majesty would still be very unhappy. My son, the Son of Heaven, is very fortunate to be able to form such a brotherly alliance with Your Majesty. "When I return to the court, I will exhort my Emperor to give a reward to Shanshan as a show of good faith."

After being praised by Ban Chao and then given a verbal promise as a reward, not only did it conceal the embarrassment of the King of Shanshan, it also made his heart feel a little better. He nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you." With that, he waved his hand, intending to return to the palace.

Ban Chao shouted from behind him, "Your Majesty, tomorrow morning I will go to the palace with Guo Zai. We will sign the contract."

The king left without a word. When he returned to the palace, he immediately called for Yan Jie to meet him, only to learn that he had been invited by Ban Chao to a banquet at dusk and had not returned until now. When the king heard the news, he sat down on the ground and thought to himself, "That Ban Chao is indeed powerful, he actually went to the Great Western Kingdom first, which took away the last sliver of hope." Like a snake, this attack hit the target seven inches, and no matter if the big man or the Huns sent troops to attack, the Great Western Kingdom would not be able to defend against it.

He also called upon the court ministers to discuss the matter. Other than Huyan Jie, all the other ministers in Shanshan were weak and incompetent people. What could they come up with when they gathered together?

One of the ministers said, "Since Emperor Guangwu, the national power of the burly man has been flourishing day by day. Right now, the Son of Heaven, Liu Zhuang, is also a wise man, he has the discipline to rule the country and carry out virtuous government. His decree is clear, and his order is clear as day, so he is now like the sun in the sky, with no harm in joining forces, not to mention that His Majesty has already agreed to it, how can he go back on his words? "

The Shansan King looked troubled, "I'm afraid that the big men are too strong, our Shansan people are too small, and they are as violent as they were before …" "It would be a great shame to be forced to change Lou Lan's homeland to Shanshan!"

"According to what this official knows, under the rule of the Son of Heaven, taxes are reduced, farmers are thriving and water is flowing, those who support the widows and the poor are no longer as brutal as they were in the days of the Emperor of Han," another minister began. "Today, with the rich customs of the Eastern Lands, the world is at peace.

"Hard to say!" The king of Shan Shan Shan snorted coldly, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

One of them bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I have some words of advice to advise you."

The king looked closely and saw that it was an envoy from an exalted country. His name was Peach Blossom, and because of the marriage between the two countries and the fact that he was in a sense a subordinate country to the Sanskrit, he was also summoned by the king of the mountains for an exception.

It was called the law of the jungle. There was no distinction between good and evil between countries, only conflicts of interest. On this point, there was no difference between the Shansan King, the Ming Emperor, Liu Zhuang, and the Huns. It was just that the big men were more powerful.

When the king of Shanshan saw that his subjects were all willing to surrender to him, he wanted to hear the suggestion of Peach Blossom. In addition, his attitude towards Shanshan was still unclear, and he wanted to test if the other party was truly willing to serve as his official. If Peach Blossom was willing to fight, then perhaps he had the intention of disobeying her, and if the master were to surrender, then he would have to say one or two things to convince the king of Shanshan.

"Please speak!" said the King of Shanshan.

"Your Majesty, the burly man has the courage and decisiveness to act, but the Huns are headstrong and mediocre. Even when the enemy attacks their way down to the ground, they are still not aware of it. Just from this point, the burly man is obviously stronger than the Huns. The men were all in their thirties, and not only were they brave, they were eager to repay their country. When they were standing downstairs, even if the king himself had come, I could tell that they would not be afraid of death. These people did not hesitate to capture General Huyan and even killed all of the Huns in order to achieve their goal. It was not that they did not put His Majesty in their eyes, but they did not care about life and death. However, there were more than thirty warriors in the Han army. If everyone was like that, how could the Huns be their match?

A wise man is a wise man, and a machine is a hero. Besides, how could His Majesty go back on his word? An alliance with the Han is the outcome of the greater picture. This is the destiny of heaven and earth that cannot be defied. "

"Could it be that the marriage between our country and your exalted country is also in accordance with the will of the heavens?" King Shansan asked with a frown.

Peach Blossom faintly smiled. "My king only wishes to protect himself, there's no other reason. It will always be good to be the king of a country of death if you build good relations with others, your majesty! "

The heart of the Shansan King was struck by lightning. After a long while, he said, "Ban Chao captured my servant in the humerus. How should I deal with this?"

"Your Majesty, Huan Yanjie has repeatedly obstructed His Majesty's alliance with the Han. From the perspective of the Han people, he is actually already a criminal. No matter how many meritorious deeds he had done in the past, he was so domineering in his power that His Majesty had to obey him. He has done so well that even I, a foreigner, have long since grown tired of him. As I see it, I might as well take this opportunity to send him to the emissary. "Besides, the sky is getting dark. I am afraid that Huyan Jie is already dead. Why don't you just show us some favor, your highness?"
