Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 505 Protectorate of the Western Regions (Second Update)
After the matter of Han Mengtong ended, Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He still apologized for the situation of the Ma and Han families. After all, if it were not for him, although Ma and Han would split, it would probably take a long time, and it would not be like this. Miserable, now that Xiliang is included in Dayan, if you can make up for it, do your best to make up for it.

On this day, Yuan Xi helped Mrs. Liu to take a walk in the back garden. Since Yuan Xi became the king, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were also released one by one. With the filial piety of the three sons, Mrs. Liu became more and more energetic. It made Yuan Xi very happy. No matter what time it is, filial piety must never be forgotten, whether it is a commoner or an emperor, it is the same. This is the foundation of human beings and the way of heaven since ancient times.

"Mother, I heard that you feel that the palace is too depressing, and you are planning to go out for a walk. My son is planning to build a palace in Qingzhou, which is close to the sea. It is warm in spring and cool in summer, very comfortable," Yuan Xirou said.

Mrs. Liu immediately showed a smile on her face, but she shook her head and said: "My lord has this heart, the queen mother is already very happy, but the world has not yet been unified, so you can't spend it like this. You must continue to work hard to govern, and you must not let down the ambition of the former king. The wish of the ancestors of the family"

"I understand," Yuan Xi nodded.

"Wang'er, do you have other things to come to see your mother today?" Mrs. Liu asked softly.

"It's like this, Queen Mother, although Xiliang was pacified this time, both the Ma family and the Han family suffered heavy losses, and none of them survived. Speaking of which, they are also related to our Yuan family. I want to make up for it a little bit. Let alone Ma Chao, he is the commander-in-chief of Dayan's Seventh Legion, Marquis of Yan Liang, but the Han family is far behind, so it is definitely a treat for him to confer Han Ying, the only surviving heir of the Han family, as Bei'anbo. Guarantee your future," Yuan Xi said softly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu sighed a little, and said: "Meng Tong is also a poor person. When she came to see her a few days ago, she kowtowed her head and broke her face, tears streaming down her face. The Ai family can see that there is something in his heart. Don’t be stingy, Your Majesty, don’t worry about Ai’s family, just make him a Marquis!”

Mrs. Liu knew that Yuan Xilai told her that she was worried that she would still be angry with Han Mengtong, but in fact, she had already disappeared. Han Mengtong was originally her favorite daughter-in-law. If it weren't for Xiliang's incident, she would never have been thrown into the cold palace. .

Yuan Xi smiled, and said: "The queen mother is kind, and I will give orders later."

"Okay." Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile.

After the two mother and son walked a certain distance again, a guard ran over, knelt down on one knee and said, "I want to ask you to see me, Your Majesty."

"Wang Er, it's important to get down to business, you can go quickly," Liu waved.

"No..." Yuan Xi saluted and left with Zheng Chun.

When Yuan Xi arrived at Huagai Palace, he looked at Li Ru who was waiting inside and said with a smile, "Military Master, what's the matter with looking for Gu?"

"Your Majesty, this is what Jiao Shuai sent back from Liuzhong City in Xiliang with an imperial pigeon. The former Cheshi, the later Cheshi, Pulei, Qimi, and the envoys of the five countries in the Western Regions request to pay homage to Your Majesty," Li Ru said solemnly. .

"Countries in the Western Regions" Yuan Xi's eyes narrowed, and he said in surprise, "Just after Dayan regained Xiliang, all the countries in the Western Regions came to worship."

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the five countries have been in Xiliang for a long time, and they have met Ma Teng and Han Sui," Li Ru explained.

"What are they doing?" Yuan Xi asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, these five countries are all small countries in the Western Regions. During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Great Han set up the Protectorate of the Western Regions to govern the countries in the Western Regions. In addition to guarding the borders and securing the soil, it was also used to coordinate conflicts and disputes among the countries in the Western Regions and ensure the smoothness of the Silk Road. Unimpeded, but since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions are just like decorations. Therefore, the Wusun Kingdom of the Western Regions, relying on the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and its strong military force, constantly blackmailed the five countries, and even planned to annex them. Therefore, the five countries immediately brought generous gifts , rushed to Liuzhong City, where the Protectorate of the Western Regions was originally located, but Ma Teng and Han Sui were overwhelmed with how to conquer Wusun, but since my Dayan regained Xiliang, the Five Kingdoms immediately asked to see Jiao Jiao Shuai, I hope that the king will love the people of the Western Regions, re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, deter Wusun, and manage a hundred countries." Li Ru handed the documents of the five countries to Zheng Chun who was beside him.

After Yuan Xi took it, he carefully read them one by one, and said seriously, "Your Honor, what do you think?"

"I feel that we can re-establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions to deter Wusun and other powerful countries in the Western Regions, but we can't easily send troops to conquer. At present, the main goal is to unify the world," Li Rudao.

"If that's the case, it may be difficult to intimidate Wusun and other powerful countries." Yuan Xi frowned.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions were completely scared by my big man. From the point of view of my ministers, as long as I send an envoy, Wusun will never dare to move within a year or two." Li Ru is confident road.

Yuan Xi stood up slowly, and after prying the bamboo slips a few times, he suddenly smiled and said, "Your Honor, the policy of the Protectorate of the Western Regions needs to be changed on this matter."

"Your Majesty clearly stated," Li Ru said curiously.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions can be set up, but not now to intervene. Tell the Five Kingdoms that Dayan is willing to provide them with weapons, armor, food, and even train their soldiers and generals, but they must use the same amount of money and treasures. In exchange for food and grass, tell them that they are the only ones who can save the country. Although Dayan is the suzerain country, it is not easy to meddle in the military affairs of other countries." Yuan Xi smiled slightly, looking a little sinister.

"Your Majesty's meaning is to encourage them to fight and use the Five Kingdoms to resist Wusun. After they fight each other to the death, send troops to wipe them out in one fell swoop." Li Ru immediately responded.

"That's right, Gu said a long time ago that there are only interests between countries and there is no friendship. It is absolutely impossible for Gu to take the lives of Dayan soldiers to help them defend their families and the country," Yuan Xi said firmly.

"But I'm worried that even so, the five countries may not be able to bear it," Li Ru said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we were making an appearance at that time. In short, we want to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, understand?" Yuan Xi said.

"I understand," Li Ru nodded and smiled.

"At present, my Great Yan absolutely does not have the ability to unify the countries of the Western Regions. This is not an issue of military strength, food, etc., but a matter of customs, language, roads, etc. You must remember that with the countries of the Western Regions, you must constantly provoke their internal relations. I, Dayan, mediate and obtain benefits from it, and I will squeeze as much back as I have." Yuan Xi said expectantly, isn't that the country in later generations that makes money from wars and becomes a superpower?
"Your Majesty is wise, in this way, my Great Yan will be stronger than ever before," Li Ru excitedly said.

"Don't worry, what's more, Dayan wants to learn from Banchao and enter into a large-scale cultural invasion. I want to spread my vast culture to the past, and I want their nobles to be proud of learning from me, and let them be proud of it. I feel in my heart that my country will always be incalculably far behind my Dayan, so it will be much easier to recover in the future," Yuan Xi ordered again.

"Large-scale cultural invasion" After Li Ru murmured a word, he immediately admired: "The wisdom of the king is beyond the reach of heaven and man."

"Haha, you should immediately go to Prime Minister Zuo, Zipei, and Kong Ming to carefully discuss the formation plan of the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the issue of candidates. After three days, come and report to Gu immediately," Yuan Xi laughed.

"promise!"

After Li Ru left, Yuan Xi murmured excitedly: "Now Dayan is the world's number one superpower, some are playing, hahaha."

Huge and incomparable laughter echoed in the spacious canopy hall.
