The envoy of the Guishan Kingdom arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor wants?" ”

"Marry Mao, why don't you marry your daughter." Listening to the envoy's words, Liu Chan said in his heart.

His sister-in-law Liu Ting is only thirteen years old, and she will marry Guishuang, unless Liu Chan's brain is broken, you must know that Guishuang and Dahan are thousands of miles apart, and they have to walk back and forth for more than half a year, and they may not see each other for the rest of their lives.

Then his second lady Mi Mi can't think of breaking her liver and intestines.

What's more, in two years, Guishan will be hit hard by the Sassanid Dynasty, and finally go into decline, be in a corner of peace, and become a vassal of a big country.

Thinking of the current situation in Central Asia, Liu Chan suddenly understood something, this wave of envoys sent over to ask for relatives, could it be related to the rising Sassanid Dynasty?

However, in history, why didn't Bo Tuo ask Wei for marriage? Could it be that the big man is a soft persimmon and is easy to bully?

Liu Chan, who was still unclear about the true intentions of the waves, chose to forbear, intending to continue to try, and make a decision after figuring out the true intentions of the waves.

Seeing that Liu Chan did not respond, the envoy said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the king of our country, also knows a little about the situation of the Han today, if the Wei State still occupies the Central Plains and is strong, it will not be easy for the Han to destroy the Wei State."

The king of my family asked for a marriage, and after the two sides became good for Qin and Jin, I Guishan State can also help the Han Dynasty to eliminate the Wei State. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel funny, you Guishuang is difficult to protect yourself, and you also helped the Han Dynasty to destroy the Wei State? I'm afraid it's not that I ate too much brain fragments.

However, Liu Chan didn't dare to underestimate the tone, and it was Liu Chan who knew the current situation in Guishuang, so he scoffed at Guishuang's statement.

If you go to other people, you may be coaxed by Guishuang, after all, you can get a strong reinforcement after marriage, which is a great thing.

You must know that in history, in order to win over the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, Sun Quan made great efforts to go to Liaodong by sea, but unfortunately he lost his wife and soldiers.

"Oh? I don't know how strong your Guishan is? Liu Chan smiled and said: "Now although my Han has not destroyed Jiangdong, but there are also a population of four million, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, I don't know if your Guishan is as strong as my Han?" After all, my big man pays attention to the right family.

Besides, who are you Guishan asking to marry my sister? ”

Now under the rule of the Han Dynasty, there are Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou and half of Yongzhou.

Among them, Jingzhou has a population of nearly one million, Yizhou has a population of 1.3 million, Hanzhong has a population of 500,000, and Jiaozhou has a population of 300,000.

And Yongliang belongs to Xinde.

Liangzhou originally had a population of just over 200,000, because the Qiang people were attached and Qinghai County was established, Liangzhou now has a population of 660,000, while Yongzhou, which is currently Longyou, has a population of about 350,000.

Today, the Han Dynasty has a total population of 4.1 million, of which the population of Jingzhou and Yizhou is greatly improved compared with ten years ago.

There are four main aspects, the first is because of internal stability, and the second is because of the popularity of corn and sweet potatoes. The third is that the spread of medical skills has increased the survival rate of infants, leading to a population surge. In the end, it absorbed a lot of Nanzhongman and Jingzhou Man.

As for the soldiers and horses, there are 60,000 in Jingzhou, 130,000 in Yizhou, 50,000 in Hanzhong, 100,000 in Yongliang, and about 350,000 in other miscellaneous items.

Listening to Liu Chan's words, the Guishan envoy was surprised: "I don't want the Han to go through years of war, it is already so weak, a hundred and ten years ago, the Han had a population of forty or fifty million." ”

Liu Chan smiled: "Then I don't know what the strength of your country is?" ”

Yan Yi, the envoy of Guishan, smiled and said: "If my Guishan is compared with the Han of a hundred and ten years ago, it is not worth mentioning, but compared with the Han of today, it is even better, my Guishan now has a land of thousands of miles, a population of eight million, and 500,000 soldiers and horses.

And Dawan and Kangju, which have a population of hundreds of thousands, are also vassals of our Guishan. ”

"It's really blowing." When Liu Chan heard this, his heart was happy, this Yan actually exaggerated Guishuang's strength by double.

According to Liu Chan's knowledge, at the peak of Guishan, the land area was 3 million square kilometers, equivalent to one-third the size of China, while the peak population was 5 million, and there were only more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Now that the Sassanid Dynasty has risen, the Kushan has weakened, and the population should be about the same as the current Han Dynasty under Liu Chan's rule, and there should only be about 200,000 soldiers and horses. This Kushan envoy actually exaggerated the national strength.

As for Dawan, Kangju, and the countries of Huathornzi, although they are vassal states of Guishan, but now Guishan is gradually weakening, and Dawan and other countries have gradually gotten rid of the fetters of Guishan.

"I can't imagine that the Otsuki clan is so strong now!" Zhuge Liang, who didn't know what the strength of Guishan was, was quite surprised when he heard Yan Yi's words, the weak nomads near Dunhuang at the beginning, after hundreds of years of development, the national strength was actually no worse than that of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chan asked again: "Then I don't know who you Guishuang are asking for to marry my sister?" ”

Without hesitation, the messenger said, "Naturally, he is married to our king." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan's face suddenly sank.

Guishan Wang Bo is now forty-four out of fifty, he is a bad old man, and he actually wants to marry Liu Ting's little girl who is only thirteen years old?

Liu Chan couldn't help but have a seizure, and asked, "You big king Guigeng?" ”

Yan replied: "The king of my family is only thirty years old this year, he is in the prime of life, and he is eloquent, and my Guishan can have today's prosperity, all of which were established by the king single-handedly.

Your Majesty, if you agree to marry, the king of my family can help the Han Dynasty to eliminate the Wei State, but because the distance is too far, this needs to be considered in the long run, but at present, the countries of the Western Regions have not yet been pacified, and although Shule and other countries are called annexed, they have ill intentions. Therefore, the king was willing to help the Han to pacify the Western Regions.

That Wusun country Kunmo, I don't know how much benefit I have made in the Western Regions over the years, if the Western Regions are unified, Wusun will not get benefits, so Wusun will definitely not sit back and watch the Western Regions be pacified, and now Wusun sent a messenger over, just to paralyze His Majesty.

And Wusun is adjacent to my Guishan vassal Dawan, if Wusun dares to make any moves, I Guishuang will definitely not be able to spare him, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”

After listening to the envoy's words, Liu Chan finally figured out the idea of the wave.

It turned out that the rise of the Sassanid Dynasty in these years, the Kushan gradually weakened, which made Bo Tune have a sense of crisis, and some time ago he learned that Liu Chan defeated the Wei State, seized the land of Yongliang, and marched into the Western Regions, so he had a thought.

Historically, the Wei State was strong, and it was not a problem to suppress Shu Han and Jiangdong to fight, and Cao Pi's policy towards the Western Regions was also based on stability, and he did not interfere much, so it was unprofitable to make waves, and he did not dare to rashly calculate the Wei State.

But now it is different, although the Han defeated the Wei State and obtained Yongliang, the Wei State is still very strong, and there is a great threat to the Han Dynasty, even if Guishuang offends the Han Dynasty, it is nothing great.

Moreover, Liu Chan's policy in the Western Regions is to control, and Guishan is profitable in the Western Regions.

Therefore, Bo Tiao sent envoys to the Han Dynasty to seek relatives, and then under the pretext of helping the Han Dynasty pacify the Western Regions, he tried to find a way to make profits in the Western Regions.

To get some of the wealth, slaves, and population of the Western Regions, and even borrow the hands of the Great Han to deal with Wusun, and get the wealth of the population of Wusun, as long as the Kushan sent thousands of soldiers and horses to help the Great Han, and then plundered the rich population during the war, it was very easy.

The Kushan were then using the resources they had obtained from the east to fill the war needs in the west.
