God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Lu Yu didn't see anything wrong with Liu Tong's words and nodded calmly.

In matters of the world, choosing to support and help the majority may not yield positive results, but putting it into practice will never lead to regret.

Whether it's the father or the young lady, they both have their own firm beliefs and their own ways of doing things. Although the results are different, they all lead to the same goal: the people live better lives, and that's enough.

"Now that things have come to this, no matter what her intentions are, there's very little that can be changed." Liu Tong gently shook his head, letting go of his concern for Liu Yao.

Compared to such trivial matters concerning the imperial clan, Liu Tong, when working, still prefers to pay attention to more important issues concerning people's livelihoods.

As for when you're slacking off, you won't care about such trivial matters at all.

Regardless of Liu Ye's schemes or how many Yuezhi people Liu Yao can influence, it will not affect the final arrangements or the expansion of the territory.

The difference lies only in the degree of difficulty of this road expansion; it's not that we can't expand our territory without implementing such a plan.

There is no difference in the outcome between expanding territory by planning and expanding territory by force; only the process and impact will be different.

“Being too stubborn and having a single-minded idea can also affect the other person’s mentality, but there’s nothing wrong with what the other person did morally…” After thinking about Liu Yao’s actions for a moment, Lu Yu shook his head slightly.

Perhaps we can condemn the other party's behavior from the perspective of the country and others, but from the other party's point of view, are they wrong?
While the idea of ​​seeking revenge at all costs might be considered somewhat radical under the prevailing public opinion in the Han Empire, it wasn't really a problem.

As for Yuan Shu, who was being avenged, he didn't care at all, or rather, he was completely indifferent to this matter.

The power disparity between the two sides was so vast that if the victim wished, the seeker could simply vanish from the face of the earth.

However, Yuan Shu did not do so. On the one hand, he was unaware that he had such an opponent, and on the other hand, even if he had told Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu would most likely not have cared.

From Yuan Shu's perspective, he had offended too many people, and Liu Yao was just one more. If he were so easily killed, he would have been killed long ago. The fact that he hasn't been killed yet is enough to explain the reason.

"So, not interfering or hindering is what I should do." Liu Tong sighed softly, adding calmly, "As long as people exist, conflicts are bound to arise..."

As the ultimate arbiter in a certain sense, remaining rational is the greatest respect one can show to this country.

On a personal level, Liu Yao's matter is indeed not a small matter, but on a national level, it is really a small matter.

"Then, apart from the necessary protection personnel, I will withdraw the excess manpower." Lu Yu nodded on the spot and then explained his next arrangements.

Although the number of maids in the guard has grown considerably over time, very few are truly loyal and capable.

In particular, the rotation system after reaching a certain age meant that the size of the maid guard could not be large.

Lu Yu didn't care, and neither did Liu Tong. As a covert form of protection, the maid guard didn't need to be large or powerful; it only needed to buy some time in crucial moments.

The Empire's overt protective forces are sufficient to contain any threat, but they are limited by certain rules and cannot provide round-the-clock protection. The existence of the Maid Guard is to provide protection within the scope of these rules.

"Let's maintain this situation for a while longer. Until the Yuezhi people clearly take over, let's keep things as they are." Liu Tong thought about Liu Yao's current situation and finally decided to retain the existing manpower.

Maintaining sufficient manpower for two shifts not only provides protection for the other party but also serves as a constraint, preventing them from making the wrong choice due to some reason.

"Until the Yuezhi take over?" Lu Yu frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Given the current public opinion and environment in the Han Empire, the Yuezhi people were completely hostile elements. While not everyone should kill them, they were certainly no better than rats crossing the street.

It can be said that many of the Yuezhi people who traded within the Han Empire changed their names after a period of real-world experience.

Allowing a princess to marry a Yuezhi person under such circumstances reveals political implications and leanings that are enough to influence the prevailing public opinion.

"The Yuezhi people are divided into five branches, and the current royal family is the Kushan. There's nothing wrong with that..." Liu Tong glanced at Lu Yu and explained the situation of the Kushan Empire to him, just to refresh his memory.

"To disintegrate and weaken the Yuezhi's power from within, all by a single princess?" Lu Yu didn't understand how a princess could have such influence and the power to sow discord, but out of absolute trust in Liu Tong, he accepted this viewpoint and added, "Since that's the case, should we inform General Guan to keep an eye on things on the battlefield?"

Recalling the letter she had previously given to Guan Hai, Lu Yu felt that she needed to rewrite it to prevent the situation from deteriorating rapidly.

It wasn't that they were afraid Guan Hai's army couldn't defeat the Yuezhi, but rather that they were afraid Guan Hai would show no restraint in this regard and overdo it, causing the Han Empire's plan to establish Chang'an to fail.

Although Lu Yu was unclear about the exact strength of Guan Hai's army, there was one thing he was very clear about.

That is, according to someone's assessment, Guan Hai's army really has the ability to use tactics to reverse strategy in certain situations.

"General Guan?" Upon hearing this information, Liu Tong recalled in his mind and confirmed Guan Hai's approximate location.

The Guan Hai army, traveling light on horseback, returned to the Pamir Mountains in less than twenty days, which is enough to demonstrate their marching speed and urgency.

Fortunately, prior communication and discussion led Guan Hai to abandon his plan to return home quickly; otherwise, given the enemy's marching speed and intensity, they would probably have already entered the Yizhou region by now.

The reason they are still stationed in the Pamir Mountains is mainly to serve as a deterrent and suppressive force.

Although there were already Xiliang cavalrymen here, they wouldn't listen to her until she clearly revealed her identity.

Even if she reveals her identity, will these Xiliang cavalry listen to her?
Would a group of people in Luoyang who had been ravaged by her listen to her? She certainly didn't believe so. (End of Chapter)
