God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Not understanding the process, Liu Tong frowned as he looked at the information reported by Yumen Pass. Conventional thinking and ideas could not comprehend Awende's behavior at all.

Three entire legions, plus their families—this capability is unbelievable in any other place.

But considering the Yuezhi region, it seems understandable.

But to be able to do this much, Arvind is indeed no easy opponent.

"The garrison commander of Yumen Pass seems quite capable. He can remain calm in the face of so many unknown forces..." Seeing that Liu Tong hadn't moved for a while, Si Niang turned her head to look at the contents and nodded slightly, giving her opinion and praise.

Liu Tong turned his head to look at Si Niang, unsure of how to evaluate her.

As a frontier official of the Great Han Empire, would you be afraid of a few legions?
If someone is truly that afraid, how could they possibly hold an official position in the Han Dynasty?
That's Yumen Pass, after all. It wouldn't be surprising if some ruthless person appeared there.

The people of Liangzhou have been known for their fierce and unruly nature since ancient times. Even though the legion led by Awende looked extraordinary, entering Yumen Pass would not be an easy task.

This was especially true for officials of the Han Empire at that time.

Whether it's the reputation they receive after death or the treatment they receive, it will make these people understand what they should and shouldn't do.

Although it may be a bit inappropriate to say it this way, that's just how it is.

Sometimes, there's no need for repeated orders or reiterations; those in those positions understand their duties and responsibilities and make the right choices.

"We still need to think of a way to settle these people. After all, there are quite a few of them, and a considerable number of them are capable of fighting, and their combat strength is quite strong..." Liu Tong gently rubbed his temples, beginning to worry about how to deal with these people.

Although they are also foreign tribes, they can't be treated like the nomadic peoples on the grasslands and be used as a sustainable and exploitable labor force, can they?

However, if no control measures are implemented, staying in that place will ultimately pose a hidden danger, and it will be difficult to maintain this situation for a long time.

The survival needs of tens of thousands of people are not a small number. It is already surprising that Arvind was able to handle the expenses along the way. As for how long he can continue, it is unknown.

Considering the distance from Yumen Pass to Chang'an, and the speed of information transmission, it's unlikely that Arvind had enough grain to support repeated verifications.

Not quite understanding the meaning behind it, Si Niang looked at Liu Tong, who seemed a little embarrassed, and offered her some thoughtful concern. Then she whispered, "Why don't we just ask them directly? Since they did this, they must have thought about it and considered it. Surely they didn't do anything at all?"

"That seems to work too." Following this line of thought, and seeing no major problems, Liu Tong nodded and gave a similar reply. After replying, he would then consider how to proceed.

Since thinking will inevitably waste time anyway, it's better to use this time to ask the other person's thoughts, understand their situation, and see how much time they have left to make mistakes.

"The Yuezhi people were once considered one of the nomadic peoples. Later, they turned to a semi-nomadic, semi-agricultural lifestyle and then became the Kushan Empire, embarking on a path of sustainable exploitation of the Brahmins..." After checking the relevant historical information in the chat group and considering the other party's habits and lifestyle, Liu Tong quickly came up with a similar idea.

Based on Arvind and others' actions and statements, a final decision was made regarding the treatment they would receive. This treatment, naturally, was somewhat different and not particularly outstanding.

In terms of control and restrictions, things can be a bit more relaxed, and the regulations don't need to be so strict.

The reason is that the number of people on the other side is not particularly large, so it is not enough to cause an impact on the Han-dominated ethnic group in a certain area.

Therefore, there is no need to forcibly dismantle or disrupt them, and then randomly distribute them anywhere in the empire, giving them no chance or possibility to gather together, which can naturally prevent most accidents.

However, all of this is based on the possibility that the other party might cause trouble, but will Arvind really cause trouble?
As long as Liu Xiu doesn't cause any problems, it's highly unlikely, unless Liu Xiu has objections.

If Liu Xiu runs into trouble, the turmoil that Awende could cause would inevitably be enormous and chaotic, and the negative consequences would be quite obvious.

In addition to this part, the Han Empire's own judgment of foreign ethnic groups was also a major consideration.

When the Han Empire was weak and internally weakened, people from other ethnic groups who came to surrender with their families were generally treated well and rewarded, which was to demonstrate the majesty and remaining glory of the Han Empire.

Conversely, when the Han Empire was powerful, any foreign tribe that attempted to surrender often failed to do so and instead became a figure on the Han army's merit list.

What was that saying again?

You weren't there when the empire was suffering, but now that it's powerful, everyone's siding with it. What's the difference between that and dreaming?
The Han Empire is now powerful enough to be called strong, so what are its attitudes and views towards foreign tribes?

One can get a glimpse of this by looking at the workforce in the Bingzhou mines and steel mills.

"By the way, send someone to inform the commander of Yumen Pass not to overreact to this. As for what to do next, wait for orders from Chang'an." Following this line of thought, Liu Tong quickly recalled some unpleasant historical events and promptly passed down the relevant orders.

With a series of past histories as a backing, border generals could be said to have a great deal of autonomy in dealing with foreign tribes, even to the point of acting first and reporting later, forging imperial edicts, and so on.

If this aspect isn't explicitly stated, no one knows what the final outcome will be.

In fact, it was pretty much as Liu Tong had imagined.

As a general at Yumen Pass, he had already received relevant information when Awende led his army and family within a hundred miles of Yumen Pass, and had reported it in advance. Then he began to investigate Awende and his men.

In addition to knowing the number of people, it is also important to know the size of the army, the combat effectiveness of the scouts, and so on.

After testing and assessing the situation, Jiang Gui, the garrison commander of Yumen Pass, began to consider how to eliminate this unknown force and restore the Silk Road to its smooth operation.

With so many foreign armies stationed there, even the bolder merchant caravans wouldn't travel the Silk Road at this time. They would generally observe for a few days to confirm the safety of the route. (End of Chapter)
