Although Yan Wei, the envoy of Guishan, didn't know why Liu Chan knew everything about their Guishan, he easily saw through the thoughts of the waves, could it be blind, but the blind should not be so accurate, right? But despite this, Yan will not sit still.

Yan showed a puzzled look on his face, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I don't know where you heard these news, it's just out of nowhere, what you said before is true, I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will know it." If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to our country to inquire about the situation. ”

As he spoke, the messenger looked resentful again, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Liu Chan also admired this Yan a little, not to mention other abilities, this messenger's way is also first-class, not much worse than the previous Jian Yong and Sun Gan.

Liu Chan waved his hand boringly and said: "Okay, I know the situation of your Guishuang as well, what the situation is, you know it in your own heart, you don't have to hold on, if you are cheating, don't blame me for not being emotional."

Ten thousand steps back, I have no intention of marrying the princess, not to mention that you still deceive and fool me.

However, as the saying goes, the two countries do not fight each other, and your Guishan King Bo Tiao can also be regarded as a male lord, I will give him a face and let you go back. Go back and tell him, let him think about how to deal with the Sassanids, and don't use your mind on my big man.

I can't forget what happened more than 100 years ago. ”

Hearing this, Yan knew that Liu Chan really knew about Guishuang's situation, not Meng.

Speaking of the situation more than a hundred years ago, Yan Biao's face couldn't help but be a little panicked, this was a great shame since the establishment of their country.

For more than 100 years, the King of Guishan sent an envoy to ask the Han for marriage and was refused, and the King of Guishan at that time was furious and sent Xie to lead 70,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Western Regions, but was defeated by Ban Chao.

Failed to send troops to attack and defeated, the face of the King of Guishan at that time was lost, he was from that time, Dawan Kangju and other countries began to disobey the orders of Guishan, until the wave of the succession to the throne, the situation improved, but the wave of the tone of these years gradually fainted, the Sassanid people rose again, and the Dawan and other countries did not listen to the order again.

What Liu Chan meant by this was that if you Guishuang dared to use force against the Western Regions, you would have to follow the old path of more than a hundred years ago.

Yan sighed, only then did he feel that Liu Chan was more difficult to deal with than Zhuge Liang, although Liu Chan did not give Guishuang face, but Guishuang was helpless.

Today's Kushan is not as good as it was then, the rise of the Sassanids, the rest is already in jeopardy, and the country may be destroyed at any time, and the next target of the Sassanids is Kushan. Guishuang is already unable to protect himself, where does he still have the heart to deal with the big man.

"Your Majesty ......" Yan decided to confess to Liu Chan: "Please forgive me for the crime of deception, Your Majesty's knowledge of Guishan's situation is indeed true."

However, my Guishan definitely has no intention of plundering the wealth of the Western Regions, these years the rise of the Sassanids, Dawan, Kangju and other countries do not submit to the rule of my Guishan, so my king wants to marry the Han Dynasty to deter Dawan, Kangju.

And I, Guishuang, can also give the great man the help I can, the reason why I deceived Your Majesty is because I am worried about being rejected by Your Majesty, and I definitely have no intention of fooling Your Majesty. ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "I don't understand, marriage and kinship, why is it that my princess of the Han Dynasty is marrying outside, can't it be your princess marrying the Han?" Since you Guishan have a request from me, why should you take advantage?

I only have this one sister, and the first emperor entrusted her to me on his deathbed, I will not marry her far away, you will die of this heart. ”

Yan listened to Liu Chan's words, and instead of getting angry, he was a little happy: "Your Majesty, did you just say that I can marry the princess from Guishuang to the Han Dynasty to carry out the marriage?" But my king has a daughter, who is not yet twenty years old, in the words of the great Han, can be described as virtuous and virtuous, and the country is beautiful and fragrant, if Your Majesty agrees, he will return to China to discuss with my king. ”

"Uh......" Liu Chan was stunned when he heard his words, he was just spitting out the custom of the old man to send the princess out, and he didn't want this messenger to take it seriously.

However, Liu Chan didn't take it to heart, waved his hand and said: "Whatever you want, I will return to the national capital tomorrow, it's getting late today, so I won't talk to you more, come and see off guests!" ”

Yan was afraid that Liu Chan would return, so he hurriedly said: "I will return to Guishuang tomorrow, and discuss with my king at this time, I will definitely give Your Majesty an answer as soon as possible." ”

Yan said that, and was taken down by the attendants.

After the envoy left, Liu Chan's face gradually turned cold: "If it were a great man a hundred years ago, I would have to destroy him Guishuang." ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since this Guishan is trying to fool my big man, why do you agree to the marriage?" Although it was Guishan who married the princess. ”

Liu Chan smiled and said: "The current situation of Guishan, I also said before, if the Sassanians enter Guishan in the future, I may be able to take advantage of this to intervene. Anyway, he married the princess, and I didn't suffer, but most of the tunes would not agree. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "That King Guishan has the idea of the Western Regions, and he doesn't want His Majesty to fight Guishan's idea, although Guishan is far away in the west, he may not really use troops against Guishan in the future."

But knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, for example, this time, if Your Majesty does not know the true situation of Guishan, he may suffer a big loss, and Weichen will send people to infiltrate the West to find out the news. ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "I just wanted to say this, I didn't want to think of Da Sima, so there is Lao Da Sima, I have to go back to Yizhou early tomorrow morning, so I will go back first." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chan continued his journey back to Yizhou.

Along the way, I passed through Wudu, Jiange, and Fucheng, and finally returned to Chengdu in November.

Liu Chan set out in August 223 AD and returned in November 224 AD, a campaign that lasted more than a year.

The civil and military ministers and the people went out of the city for twenty miles to greet them, and the people beat gongs and drums to celebrate Liu Chan's triumphant return.

"The ministers welcome Your Majesty to restore Yongliang and return to the dynasty in triumph!"

"The ministers welcome Your Majesty to restore Yongliang and return to the dynasty in triumph!"

"The ministers welcome Your Majesty to restore Yongliang and return to the dynasty in triumph!"

Liu Chan's car approached, and hundreds of civil and military officials greeted him loudly on both sides of the road.

Although the Northern Expedition did not recover Chang'an this time, it took the land west of Liupan Mountain, the entire Liangzhou, and half of Yongzhou.

However, Jingzhou occupied by Liu Chan, Yizhou is the two largest states in the world, and the total territory of Yongliang is not as large as Yizhou, which is not reasonable in terms of numbers.

At the front of the hundred officials, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, and Zhao Yun stood respectfully.

Liu Chan's carriage drove in front of the three people, Liu Chan gently lifted the curtains, and said to the three people outside the car: "I am in a hurry to return to the palace, so I won't talk more to the Aiqing, so I will prepare the Taichang Mansion and inform the civil and military ministers that after three days, I will worship the Taimiao and the mausoleum of the first emperor." ”

Now that Liu Chan has returned triumphantly, the first thing he did when he returned to the dynasty was naturally to worship his ancestors and ancestors, and tell the good news to the Han Dynasty as the first emperor.

The ministers gave up their hands and received the order: "The ministers obey the order!" ”
