Che Yuan, the envoy of Cheshi, tapped the wall of the car and whispered: "Prince, Chang'an has arrived."

Che Yi opened the window, poked his head out, looked at Chang'an City that stretched between heaven and earth, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "My God, this is Chang'an City? Such a high city wall is twice as high as Jiaohe City, right?"

The Han envoy in charge of greeting heard Che Yi's amazement. Although he couldn't understand, he still smiled with a reserved smile. He slowed down specially to give these barbarians a chance to appreciate the magnificence of Chang'an City. This has become a tacit practice for his colleagues. As officials of Daxing Temple, they have the obligation to show the powerful power of the Han Dynasty to the barbarians from all over the world, so that they can develop the awe they deserve.

"It's almost the same." Che Yuan was also shocked. "But compared to Gao, Chang'an City is larger. Look, the city wall is almost impossible to see, and there must be ten Jiaohe City large."

Che Yi didn't say anything. He looked at the bustling crowds on the roads on both sides, the boys in bright clothes and horses, and the business trips in a hurry, and was secretly shocked. Compared to the size of Chang'an City, the population of Chang'an made him more uneasy. Before he entered the city, the people he saw on the road made him feel that there were more people than those in Cheshi Kingdom, and they were so scattered that they could not see at first sight.

"How many people are there in Chang'an City?"

Che Yuan asked to re-translate. Re-translate Xiaoxiao: "Do you mean in the city or outside the city?"

"Is there any difference between the city and outside?"

"Of course there is a difference. In Chang'an City, palaces are the main ones, and household registration is limited. Outside Chang'an City, people are the main ones, so there are naturally more household registrations."

Che Yi breathed a sigh of relief. So, Chang'an City may not be much larger than Jiaohe City. "How many people are there in Chang'an City?"

"The specific number is not clear, it's about 100,000."

"100,000?" Che Yi was dumbfounded, as if he was hit by a heavy punch, and his mind was buzzing. The two countries in front and behind Cheshi were only more than 10,000 people, and there were ten Cheshi countries in Chang'an City alone? "What about outside Chang'an City?"

"Including the surrounding tombs, the total population should be more than 700,000."

Che Yi put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name silently, and decided not to ask questions again. He was completely shocked. There were more than 800,000 people in the capital alone, which was more than the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions was a vain task. Any resistance was futile. If you pay tribute, you should pay tribute. If you pay tribute, you should pay tribute. First, you will receive rewards, and then you will be punished. It is better to receive rewards than to die.

Chongyi glanced at Che Yi, tilted his mouth, and started chatting with Che Yuan. "I heard that your prince believes in Buddhism?"

Che Yuan nodded.

"What is Buddha? I listened to the people who came back from the Western Regions that those who believe in Buddhism do not cultivate land or weave cloth, and their food and clothing are all due to people's charity. Since your prince believes in Buddhism, is the same? He eats the leftovers of the charity of others and wears the old clothes he gives?"

Che Yuan was a little unhappy. "My prince is a royal nobleman and will inherit the throne in the future. How could he eat leftovers and wear old clothes?"

"I think so." Chongyi nodded in a big way. "If this is true, it will really become a way to destroy the country. As the prince, if he doesn't care about the world, but he is dedicated to chanting Buddha's name, what can he do? But you don't have to worry. If you surrender to my great Han, you will be the vassal state of my great Han in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, my Han emperor will send troops to protect you."

Che Yuan stumbled, looked at Chongzhi again, and said nothing. He looked at the Han people around him and sighed secretly. Although this Chongzhi said a bit crazy, it was real. The prince admired Buddhism and his favorite thing was to practice Zen and enlighten the truth. He was indeed not a powerful king. Fortunately, he surrendered to the great man now and with the protection of the great man in the future, Che Master would be able to be peaceful.

At the gate of the city, after inspection, Cheshi and his party entered Chang'an City and walked on the wide street. Looking at the crowded crowds, Cheshi's people were even more stunned, looking around, and were very strange.

"Did you see that gate? There was a soldier standing in front of the gate, and the one with a halberd standing." Chongyi pointed to the Champion Hou's Mansion across the street, and was envious. "That is the residence of Champion Hou Liang Boming, which was awarded by the emperor. The first district of A, welcomed the street to open the door. This is a great favor."

"Champion Marquis!" Che Shiren looked over at the same time. For them, no one was as impressive as Liang Xiao. It was Liang Xiao who attacked Jiaohe City at night that Che Shiren was controlled by the Han people until he paid tribute to the Han Dynasty.

Che Yi also stared at the door opposite and looked again and again. Liang Xiao's impression on him was even deeper, and he almost died under Liang Xiao's knife.

"Okay, okay, don't look at it anymore. There are opportunities to see it slowly in the future." Chongyi said again: "The palace gate is on the right side in front. Today, you will take a look outside the door and go to the barbarian residence to rest. When the emperor has time, he will summon you. He will teach you some etiquette while he has time. Otherwise, when you enter the palace, you will definitely lose your composure."

The Cheshiren turned their gaze to the right side at the same time. Not long after, they came to the north gate of Weiyang Palace and saw the towering gate and exquisite carvings. When they looked at the guards wearing armor and holding halberds in front of the gate, they felt short of breath and couldn't help but hold their breath. Seeing these armored soldiers, they both felt a sense of familiarity and a powerful deterrence.

Liang Xiao led the Han army soldiers wearing this style of armor to conquer the Che Shi and the Western Regions.

Che Yi closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name more than once. Only the Buddha could keep him away from fear and war.

"Your Majesty, Prince Che has arrived in Chang'an."

The emperor raised his head and took his eyes back from a newspaper to look at Wang Hui. "Isn't it just the Prince of Che? What's the point of making a fuss? It's not Prince Wusun."

Wang Hui smiled. "Your Majesty, Prince Wusun should be fast. Although the Western Regions are colder, it is spring now. The champion Hou and others have prepared for a winter, and now they should be ready. It is just a long way to go, and the news is delivered to Chang'an, which is probably early winter."

"It will take at least half a year." The emperor pondered: "However, the position of Cheshi is important. When the prince of Cheshi enters the court, our army completed the encirclement of Wusun, which is still beneficial to the subsequent war."

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

"Good hospitality with the prince of Cheshi, be sure to let them realize the kindness of our Han Dynasty, prompt other countries to surrender to our dynasty, and also reduce the pressure on Liang Xiao and the others. Wusun is not easy to fight, with a large number of people and strong cities to rely on. Not to mention a strong attack, Liang Xiao has no chance of winning even in field battles. Speaking of which, it is still a huge gap in military strength."

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the huge gap in military strength that Liang Xiao, a general who can win unexpectedly, would be able to conquer the Western Regions by sending a general to command 100,000 troops."

"A surprise win." The emperor pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Although it was surprising, he had to have enough strength. He had already used all kinds of strange moves to win. If he wanted to deal with Wusun, it would be impossible for a small plan to work. I can't think of what method he would use, can you guess?"

Wang Hui smiled. "Your Majesty, how could I think of it? If I had such ability, I would have volunteered to travel west long ago. How could I leave such an opportunity to him?"

The emperor also laughed. "When the Cheshi people are resting for two days, and after recovery, they will lead them into the palace. I also want to ask what Li Danghu has done in Cheshi in recent years. He can control Cheshi with just two or three hundred people, which is also a meritorious person."

"Yes!" Wang Hui responded, said a few more related matters, and asked to leave the hall.

Li Guang walked towards him, stopped Wang Hui, and pulled him aside. "Has the Cheshi people entered the city?"

"Your news is quite fast. Why do you want to ask about your son's news again?"

"Nonsense, I have been in the family for several years, and I don't even have a letter from home. How can I not care? I used to listen to people's retelling, but now there are finally people who have been with me day and night. Of course, I have to ask. Did Your Majesty say when to summon them? Can I meet in advance?"

"You should wait for two days, your Majesty will be summoned soon." Wang Hui patted Li Guang's arm, passed by, and hurriedly walked. Li Guang snorted, looking unhappy. "Of course you said lightly, your son is either by his side or in his hometown, staying well."

Wang Hui turned around and smiled, "I want them to go further and become a marquis, but they don't have that chance."

Li Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned anger into joy. "Of course, a good man is determined by all directions."

Liang Xiao rushed to Jianshi City, and Ashana went out to greet him. After the two met, they made a few remarks and went straight to the topic.

Liang Xiao was straightforward, indicating that Tianlang was Wudan, and behind him was Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi. Now most of the thirty-six countries west of the Pamir Mountains are convinced, and only the countries near Tianshan are still hesitating because of the existence of Wusun.

Ashana didn't beat around the bush. "Will the general come here to borrow troops?"

"Yes."

"The general avenged Aliusu and supported Batu, and he was kind to me. The Yuezhi people have kindness to repay their kindness, and they have revenge. They can borrow soldiers, but they will not have too many troops. We must also be on guard against Daxia in the south. We can only draw about 5,000 infantry and cavalry, and the time cannot be too long, it is best not to exceed six months. If more than six months, we cannot afford the supplies for the baggage."

Liang Xiao was a little disappointed. Yuezhi was the strongest among the several major countries in the west of Pamir. He originally expected to borrow 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers, but now there are only 5,000, which is too small. With the addition of 10,000 people in Dayuan, it is only 15,000 people, which is not enough."

"Is this what the queen means?"

"Yes." Azhana hesitated for a while and said, "The queen is old and not very energetic, and she is unwilling to make a big fight. The five thousand infantry and Weisuti were the ones that I and I fought for. She was not willing to send troops."

"She would rather I not be able to fight against Wusun?"

Asha was very embarrassed. "War, people will die. Aliusu is already dead. She doesn't want any more accidents in Batu."

Liang Xiao understood. The queen was worried that Batu would be dangerous when he went into battle, and she was even more unwilling to show her timidity. If he fought against Wusun, Batu could only go into battle, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get the recognition of the powerful and powerful people of Yuezhi. There would always be danger when he went into battle. If he died in battle like Aliusu, who would her throne be passed to?

"I was wrong. I should have Batu come back and let the queen see what Batu looks like now."

"What else can it look like? Has he not Batu after going to Chang'an for a few years?"

"We Han people have a saying: If you don't help me, you will be straight. Batu has been in Chang'an for several years and always has some of the courage of our Han people." Liang Xiao laughed and said, "We don't have a queen. Our Majesty is young and strong, and a group of warriors are gathered around us. Batu is with them day and night, so how can we not be affected?"

Asha was so embarrassed that Liang Xiao said this sentence was a bit slapped in the face. But it was no wonder that Liang Xiao was killed by the Tianlang. The Yuezhi people pretended to be deaf and dumb, and finally asked the Han people to stand up to avenge Aliusu. Now they are worried about Batu's safety and are unwilling to send troops to help. It is normal for Liang Xiao to have some objections.

Even he felt that this was embarrassing. When did the Yuezhi people become so cowardly when they once traversed the grassland? Speaking of which, it was because women were kings, and they were not as strong as men. If Batu really became a warrior as Liang Xiao said, then Yuezhi might have some hope. Otherwise, they would be annexed sooner or later, just like being driven from Hexi by the Huns.

"General, when are you planning to set off? I'm ready to pack up?"

Liang Xiaowei said, "You can wait a little longer, I have to go to Daxia."

Ashana was surprised. "What are you doing in Daxia? Borrowing soldiers? My Yuezhi and Daxia have been fighting for many years, and both sides have a mortal grudge. If you invite Daxia soldiers, it may be difficult for us to fight side by side."

"Don't rush to draw conclusions first." Liang Xiao said lightly, turning back on his horse. "I was just entrusted by Mrs. Mosuyeye to send a message to his father. Of course, if he was worried about his daughter and was willing to send troops to help me, I would not object. The heavy cavalry in Daxia is very powerful. If he can borrow more than a thousand heavy cavalry, it will be stronger than the five thousand Yuezhi cavalry."

Ashana couldn't help but retort. "General, although the heavy cavalry in Daxia is famous, its majesty is no longer as good as before, and you may be disappointed."

"Is that true?" Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, not saying anything. "Lears are false, but seeing is true. Not everyone has the ability to use military forces like Wei Suti Xihou. Dalu, why don't we make a bet?"

Ashana didn't say anything. He could hear that Liang Xiao was very unhappy and had the element of deliberately provoking trouble. Although Wei Suti had good combat power, Liang Xiao was also a miracle. With his help, no one could tell whether the Daxia heavy cavalry could regain the glory of the past. If Liang Xiao was angry and helped the Daxia people regroup, the Yuezhi people would be in trouble.

"Even if the general is going to Daxia, there is no need to be so anxious." Ashana relaxed. "After so many years, you have to come back to Yuezhi, so how can I make the best of my landlords? Besides, you avenge Aliusu and help Batu take over the military power. How can the queen not thank you? General, stay in Yuezhi for a few days and make a decision again?"

Liang Xiao pondered for a moment, looked at Asha for a while, and slowed down. "Okay, for Dalu's sake, I'll stay for another three days."
