Chapter 3350 Like Strangers

...

Barak coordinated his commanders and elite soldiers from various regions to prepare for war against Cao Cao.

Barak also faced immense pressure at the Khyber Pass fortress.

Bearing the trust of Vasudeva I, it guarded the face of the nation and the last line of defense for the imperial capital.

A tremendous sense of responsibility, trust, and pressure weighed on Barak, forcing him to approach everything that was about to happen with utmost seriousness.

Meanwhile, Kabech, one of the regional commanders under Barak, was still in Chang'an, enjoying the atmosphere and scenery of Chang'an with his colleagues, completely unaware of the situation and difficulties that the Khyber Pass fortress was facing.

It wasn't until Chang'an issued a notice about regional immigration that Cabeck realized something was wrong.

"Isn't this a bit strange?" Bagel, one of the legion commanders under Cabech, who had just been rotated out, looked at the notice that had been verified by Chang'an and turned to his own legion commander, asking with considerable confusion, "What does it mean that the Yuezhi people staying in Chang'an can apply to go to the Hetao Plain to cultivate the land with this group of people who came from Yumen Pass?"

When questioned by Bagl, Cabeck remained silent for a moment before shaking his head, indicating that he was also unaware of the matter.

Kabeqi was very familiar with the Hetao Plain, which was one of the inherent territories of the Han Empire and part of its core area, making it suitable for a semi-agricultural, semi-nomadic lifestyle.

This lifestyle is indeed quite suitable for them; at least they won't feel uncomfortable in terms of their habits and conduct.

But is this really right?

If the population is small, then such reclamation is meaningless, but if the population is large, then it is a different matter.

Where did so many Yuezhi people come from if nothing special happened?
As a member of the Yuezhi people, Kabechi did not know the exact number of Yuezhi people, but he knew their general size and even their main areas of expertise.

While there were indeed many skilled merchants among the Yuezhi people, the proportion was definitely not high, and it was impossible for this group to remain stable in the Han Empire for a long time and become a part of it.

It's not that there's anything wrong with becoming a member of the Han Empire, but Kabechi is very clear that as a member of a different race, it is extremely difficult to become a member of the Han Empire.

Especially after spending so much time in Chang'an, the longing for the princess has given Cabeck and the others a very high level of understanding in this regard.

After all, trying every possible means to obtain the princess and making continuous efforts is what the Yuezhi people should normally do.

By appropriately changing their identities, the difficulty of marrying the princess of the Han Empire might be greatly reduced, as Kabechi and others also know a great deal.

However, it was precisely because of his extensive knowledge that Kabech understood just how difficult it was to obtain a national identity card for the Han Empire at that time.

Of the millions of non-Han people who once lived in the north, how many remain today? And how many of them are still able to embrace Han culture and identify with Han identity?

Given this premise, Cabeck couldn't understand at all what it meant for the Yuezhi people to be able to recuperate and thrive in the Hetao Plain of the Han Empire. "Then why don't we ask someone else?" Seeing that Cabeck was just as confused as he was, Bagel remained silent for a while and decided to give his superior face and not pursue the matter further.

“Well, it’s good to understand the reasons, to see if there’s any opportunity or possibility…” Seeing that Bagel had suggested another method, Cabeck followed suit, then quickly added, “If only we could have the same good luck as Tinoika, a princess of the Han Empire, she’s still a princess…”

Listening to the undisguised envy around him, Bagl was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he felt the same way and even wished he could take their place.

Before we succeed, we are all friends, comrades-in-arms, and colleagues who are willing to do everything we can to help each other.

But after success, the difference between people becomes like heaven and earth.

Just like now, even though they're both in Chang'an, the time they get to see Tinoika is pitifully short.

Unless it's something important, they have to rely on luck to even see Tinoika.

Even if there's something important to discuss, you still have to notify them in advance. It's quite an enviable change.

But as much as we admire and envy, if we put ourselves in their shoes, we might think they went even further than Tinoica, who was a princess of the Han Empire.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tinoika should be within my grasp naturally.

Therefore, during this period, Tinoica naturally needs to avoid any actions or situations that could lead to unexpected outcomes.

Contacting Cabeck and others could easily lead to unexpected events, especially for Tinoika herself.

It wasn't that I was worried this accident would affect the princess of the Han Empire, but rather that such a meeting would provoke opinions from others in the court, even if only verbal ones.

They also worry that their colleagues might, out of jealousy, envy, or other emotions, ultimately choose to do something drastic.

Theoretically speaking, we've been colleagues for over a decade, so this shouldn't be happening.

But on one side is the princess, and on the other is a colleague of more than ten years. If you ask yourself honestly, what choice will you make?

It can be said that any qualified Yuezhi person would not hesitate at all when faced with this choice.

Colleagues and comrades who have shared life and death for more than a decade are naturally worthy of trust and entrustment, and with this trust that is worthy of entrustment, one should naturally choose the princess firmly.

Comrades-in-arms for more than a decade, and a princess of the Han Empire, a century-old national dream—who doesn't know which is more important?
“But given our current situation, it’s impossible for us to contact Tinoyka. It’s not like the Han Empire has clear records of personnel interactions. I even suspect that this guy dares to sever ties with us and cut off all contact just to ensure that nothing unexpected happens during this period of time…” Bagel, marveling at the drastic change in Tinoyka’s personality, made no attempt to hide his jealousy.

If severing all contact with his comrades were enough to allow him to marry a princess of the Han Empire, there's no doubt that, even before the next day, this group of supposedly half-brothers would become complete strangers. (End of Chapter)
