Looking at the items on the gift list, she did a simple calculation in her mind and realized that the combined value was something she couldn't calculate in a short period of time.

Although it is indeed annoying to be appraised by others, Liu Xiu said that there is no problem at all if the value is this high.

Hundreds of billions of Wuzhu coins, let alone her, even her father at his peak could not have come up with that much, even if it included the conversion of materials.

This is just to ask for the betrothal gift to marry the princess. After bringing the princess back, will the treatment she will enjoy be any worse?
Thinking about it this way, Liu Xiu discovered that his identity was really valuable. Unlike the previous one where he was despised by others, now he had real supplies and money, the kind that could keep people alive.

Their value is naturally completely different, and their meaning is also completely different.

Being recognized for his values ​​by another country made Liu Xiu smile even though he had experienced a lot.

When Arvind saw this smile, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

What made him happy was that Liu Xiu actually recognized this point and recognized this valuation, a value that he had not been able to come up with so far.

It can be said that there are very few people in the world today who are able to offer such a betrothal gift. Unfortunately, he is definitely not among these few people.

"This gift can show our sincerity. I hope the Queen will agree and we can arrange a date to finalize this matter." Looking at the gift list as it was passed to each person, Lantu could see some surprise and shock on their faces. While smiling, he further added.

At this time, although Lantu had not seen the list of betrothal gifts for the princess, he did not think there was anything wrong with the gift list. The Kushan Empire was a big country with a great cause. What did it not have? What gifts could it not afford?

The fact that these ministers of the Han Empire could show such expressions was enough to show that the other party had not seen the world, and it also proved that the gifts on their side were generous enough, and that the other party was willing to agree and implement it.

Regardless of whether it was based on victory or defeat on the battlefield or on the benefits of the betrothal gift, agreeing to his request was the best option for the Han Empire.

"The Great Yuezhi are indeed extraordinary. They can actually come up with so many things." Even Liu Tong, who had some expectations in his heart, was a little surprised when he saw the list.

To some extent, the love and obsession of the Yuezhi for the princesses of the Han Empire had reached the level of paranoia.

At least for a normal country, it would not spend such a huge amount of money and materials to exchange for a woman.

That’s right, the princess of the Han Empire was also a woman. Compared with ordinary women, she was basically the same except for her status.

But for the Great Yuezhi, all they desire is precisely this identity and the meaning behind this identity. Only by achieving all of this can they prove that their efforts over the past hundreds of years have not been in vain.

They have been working hard on this road for hundreds of years, just like walking in the dark, not knowing where the road ahead is. The princess of the Han Empire is like the light in the night, so bright and attractive that people will rush to it at all costs, even if it means flying into a flame.

"Don't worry, Queen. Since it is on the list, we can naturally take it out!" Without even thinking, Lan Tu gave a positive answer.

The firmness of his words and attitude made everyone present believe it a little more, and combined with the secret technique of identifying the truth from lies, the credibility was even higher.

However, the civil officials in the court were not pushovers after all. After reading the gift list, they realized the errors in Lan Tu's words and the gift list.

"The list is indeed very rich, and the number of gifts is indeed frightening, but most of these are supplies and rare treasures, which take up a lot of space. Can the other party really transport them here?" Fan Qin rolled up the gift list in his hand and handed it directly to the next person. Then he turned to look at Chen Xi and said seriously.

"The other party does have such transportation capabilities, but it can only be done by sea transportation. There is no other way." Chen Xi, who is particularly familiar with the current situation and even has a lot of practical experience, knows very well what methods should be used to transport such a huge amount of materials so that they can reach the Han Empire.

The only one among the Yuezhi that had the ability and capability to do this was the navy of the Kushan Empire.

Only a true thousand-sail fleet has the ability to transport such a large amount of supplies at one time.

"Transport through the navy? This situation is too risky!" Li Ru, who was listening on the side, heard this and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At present, the Han Empire is at an overall disadvantage in the naval battle against the Kushan Empire. The command and leadership capabilities of the Kushan Empire’s navy are indeed terrifyingly strong.

However, although it is at a disadvantage, it can still rely on the huge detour space and higher movement speed to pull and stalemate.

This is based on the premise that the Han Empire's coastal shipyards are not destroyed, which gives it the ability and confidence to continue fighting.

In this case, agreeing to the Guishuang Empire's choice of sea transportation would mean that the other party would dock and unload at the coastal ports of the Han Empire, which would expose the location of the Han Empire's seaports and even the approximate coastline.

Once these things were known to the Kushan Empire, no matter how many ideas and thoughts they had, they would probably have to stop due to the constraints of the reality.

"As long as this can be accomplished, and the other party chooses sea transportation, I'm afraid we have no other choice. No one has ever defeated the other party on the battlefield, so it is not in our hands to take the initiative. The current stalemate and delay is essentially a compromise..." Fan Qin shook his head and emphasized the possibility and the consequences after this possibility.

The people around were not stupid. They learned the specific information through their own methods, then participated in the discussion and finally came to a conclusion.

"If the other party chooses sea transportation, our navy cannot completely block it, but we can harass them. However, in this way, the difficulty of transportation will naturally increase, and the cost will be heavier. But if we choose land transportation, this method is almost equivalent to no means. How much manpower and horsepower are needed to complete such a long distance? With this distance, how much supplies can be delivered to Chang'an even if we can really reach Chang'an? Only one in ten or one in twenty?" Fan Qin described the current situation, giving those present a clearer criterion for judgment.
