I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 262 The general of the Han Dynasty—Fufeng Banshi

Ban Yong's words had to be said to be very pleasing to the other party's mind, especially making Liu Long's eyes become a little brighter.

However, Liu Long had no intention of letting him go at this time, but looked like he was angered by him.

After all, this guy seemed to be really excited about what he said just now, and his face became a little embarrassed when he opened his mouth.

And there are many unacceptable words in these words.

For example, that last question.

Therefore, Liu Long continued to ask the last question.

"I already understand what you said, but have you ever thought about why I, a big man, insist on giving up this Western Region?

The reason is simply that we cannot make ends meet.

Today's Western Region is no longer what it was back then.

Back then, my Han Dynasty used the land of the Western Regions and the Silk Road to get a good trade route, and got a lot of money, food, luggage, etc.

But things are different now. Many forces in the Western Regions already know how to get along with my big man.

The Han Dynasty frequently come to pay tribute to me, but their purpose is not only to worship, but also to gain profits!
If it is true as you said, if this Western Region captain is set up, the land of the Western Regions will be reopened.

Then the countries in the Western Regions kept sending envoys. After arriving at the capital of my Han Dynasty, they started talking about how pitiful they were.

Then there will be no end to asking for money and food from the court.

What do you think I should do when that time comes?

If I agree to give it to them, then this fee will also be a big expense for me.

After all, you also know that this will definitely not happen overnight.

Over time, I'm afraid it will be unsustainable.

But if I am a big man, I am just worried about the money and food, so I don’t give it to them and don’t satisfy their ideas.

I'm afraid you know the consequences very well.

Then their wishes will be lost again and they will be greatly disappointed.

This will alienate them from my big man!

Of course, if it's just money and food, it's nothing. As long as the natural disasters stop, I, a big man, won't be able to earn even this little money.

But the most important thing is that once they are forced by the Huns again and of course come to ask for help, then things will become big.

At that time, we will continue our expedition, and the northern Huns are indeed different from the past, and they no longer have the majesty of the past.

But after all, centipede insects are dead and not stiff. Once the war starts again, the follow-up problems will be one after another, and I am afraid it will be very difficult for us.

What do you have to say about this? "

"Your Majesty said it. The general doesn't know what to do and doesn't know how to answer. I just want to laugh!"

This brave man indeed lived up to his name. He was really brave when he spoke. He really didn't leave any face to Liu Long.

Moreover, speaking directly caused Liu Long's expression to change drastically, and he did not even give Liu Long a chance to refute and rebuke Yu Xu Banxiong and others.He spoke directly again and continued.

"The general feels that your majesty's idea is a bit ridiculous.

If the countries in the Western Regions are allowed to surrender to the Huns again, let them become the rear and support of the Huns in the north.

Then I can make them appreciate my great man's kindness to them. Not only will they not be intrusive bandits, they will even send caravans to give my great man countless money and food.

This idea is simply great.

It's just that it's a bit stupid to ask Your Majesty to forgive the general.

The general has thought of many ways and things, but he really doesn't know how to achieve this situation.

I don’t know what kind of past, what kind of stories, and what kind of changes happened after the northern Xiongnu got the land of the Western Region, so that they could have such an idea and not disturb me, the big man!

So if the final result is not like this, then the issues His Majesty is considering may have to change.

To put it simply, if their finances and taxes are really large due to various reasons in the Western Region, then they must also have a lot of soldiers and horses!

Therefore, in the future, if this group of them causes trouble on the border of our great Han Dynasty, or if they really start a rebellion and attack, it will be tantamount to making the enemy rich first.

Is this because I am afraid that when they attack my big man, they will not have enough food and military supplies?
So what was His Majesty's worry just now? Could it be that he was worried about not being able to increase the current power of a powerful enemy.

It took a lot of effort for the northern Huns to get this big man to this point, and I think if I continue, I will be able to drive them out completely.

But at this time, if it is Your Majesty, if it is the court, you can watch the other party rise, watch the other party take a breath again, and get this treasure of the Western Region.

So what are the reasons for all the ancestors of my great Han Dynasty that I have done before!
His Majesty! "

When Ban Yong said this, he couldn't even use excitement to explain it. In this rebuttal, Ban Yong, who is not yet too old now, has completely lost the word calm.

At this time, he knelt directly in front of Liu Long and spoke his opinions hoarsely.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the general wants to request the imperial court to re-establish the Western Region Captain is simply to promote the mighty virtue and strength of my great man!

In the final analysis, it is just to maintain the desire of various countries to return to the mainland. Its purpose is not for wealth or fame.

The purpose is to contain the northern Huns who are now struggling to survive!
Nowadays, the ambition of the Huns in the north is very obvious. We can only use this method to restrain their ambition.

The general knew that His Majesty's worries were not groundless, nor was he deliberately trying to embarrass the general.

But the general can tell His Majesty directly that the general has never worried about consuming the country's financial resources from the beginning to the end.

Because the general will not think about these things. As long as the northern Xinjiang is contained, the territory and power of our Han Dynasty will become stronger again, and we can get enough benefits by then.

Now that things have come to a point, if you don’t take this step forward, you will retreat!
Furthermore, what if the people in the Western Regions are greedy?
Their requirements for envoys from the countries in the Western Regions are not very high!

When they came to my land of Han people, all they asked for was some food.

If they are rejected now, they will definitely attach themselves to the Northern Lu, allowing them to unite to invade Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and even spread to the entire northern Xinjiang.

If it really comes to that point. If it really comes to that point, has Your Majesty ever thought about the price that this big man will pay? "
