...

Under the city of Yuezhi, flags cover the sun, and the sound of war horses sniffing one after another.

Bai Qi personally led 4,000 Han army cavalry standing outside the city wall, and watched the panic-defying defenders on the Yuezhi city.

Upon hearing the news, Anadoli and the five elders personally climbed up to the city wall to watch. After seeing that there were indeed Han cavalry outside the city, everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.

The Han army really came to the city. Could it be that the Moon Zhi Kingdom will become history like the Palacio countries today?

After watching for a while, Tuxi hurriedly suggested to Anadoli: "Your Majesty, Vacci is more than a thousand miles away. At this time, the Han army will be trapped in people and horses. As long as we occupy the city and guard them, they will be helpless."

Perhaps because of tension, Anadoli's face turned red, and her shoulders exposed to the air were also constantly rising and falling in the rapid breathing sound.

After a long time, she spoke, "I'd better ask the Han army what the purpose of our Yuezhi Kingdom is to avoid misunderstandings with each other. I believe that Bai Qi will not start the war for no reason. Does anyone want to go out to communicate with the Han army?"

No one answered Anadoli's words, and the five elders and the other guards shut up together.

Anadoli sighed: "Forget it, I'd better go there in person, open the city gate, and send Gu to the Han army camp!"

"No, Your Majesty..."

"How can your Majesty take risks in person?"

"What if something happens to Your Majesty, what should I do if there is something wrong with Yuezhi?"

The five elders all advised, but they all refused Anadoli to negotiate with the Han army.

Just as Anadoli was arguing with someone on the top of the city, a Han army general holding a crescent sword instigated a cavalry to slowly approach the city, which was Lu Yu.

Lu Yu came to the city, with Danfeng's eyes and slightly jaws, and looked at the crowds of people on the city with contempt, then shouted loudly: "Listen to the people of Yuezhi Kingdom, we are the official army of the Han court. Now the Monroe people have been defeated, and from now on, the Han army will be controlled by the Western Regions.

Today, you will not do anything else for your Yuezhi Kingdom, just to collect food and grass. I hope you can cooperate with the orders to come to the army to discuss. If you have any unfair intentions, don’t blame our Han army for placing the Yuezhi City!”

"ah……"

When everyone on the city wall heard Lu Yu's roar, they all took a step back in shock. Tuxi and Bailey couldn't stop scrolling up and down. After all, the news of the defeat of the Monroe was like a bolt from the blue that their minds were blank.

Anadoli took a deep breath, tried to suppress her fear, and then said in Chinese: "Do you dare to ask if it's General Bai Qi and Bai's troops outside the city? Can General Bai be in the army?"

When Lu Yu heard the voice of a woman, he couldn't help but lift the Yanyue Sword and look at Anidoli: "Who are you?"

Anadoli said: "Anadoli, Queen of Gu Nai Yuezhi, if General Bai is in the army, please trouble the general to go back and tell him that Yuezhi is determined to make friends with the Han Dynasty and ask him not to hurt the people of Yuezhi. Half an hour later, Gu personally went to the army to discuss with General Bai!"

Lu Yu put down the raised Yanyue sword, turned his horse around, and said to the city before leaving: "General Bai is waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Queen among the army outside the city."

Seeing the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away, Anadoli couldn't help but feel sweaty. This time she finally toughened her mind and announced in front of Tuxi and Bailey that she would negotiate with the Han army.

Although Tuxi and Bailey were dissatisfied, they were not in the mood to argue with Anadoli at this moment, because the pressure on the army outside the city had already made them feel very stressed.

The entire Yuezhi army that the Elders had the right to mobilize was about 200,000, of which Tuxi and Bailey controlled 70% of the country's troops. It is logical that they should not be afraid of the few thousand Han troops outside the city.

But the problem is that like the army of the Yuezhi Kingdom and other countries in the Western Regions, there is no concept of a conventional army. Most of them were temporary recruitment of the Yuezhi Kingdom herders, farmers and craftsmen. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is impossible to compare with the Han army whose military system far exceeds that of this era. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mob.

Second, even these 200,000 troops are now scattered all over the Yuezhi, and it is too late to gather for a while. After all, the Yuezhi is different from the small countries such as Waci, and his land area is ten times larger than Waci. There are countless oasis ranches, and this journey alone will take several days.

Finally, the soldiers' equipment and combat effectiveness are far from that of the Han army. Once the war begins, what kind of destructive power will these 4,000 fully armed cavalry have? No one in the Yuezhi Kingdom dares to imagine that scene.

Therefore, this is also the helplessness of the Elders' House. It is not for Tuxi and the others to feel worried and afraid, and they did not stop Anadoli from going to the negotiations for the first time. In the final analysis, they just don't have that strength.

"Change Gu's clothes, move out ten boxes of jewelry and ten boxes of gold from the royal warehouse, and go out of the city with Gu to meet Bai Qi."

Anadoli left a sentence, ignoring Tuxi and Bailey, turned back to the palace to prepare for meeting Bai Qi, only Diva followed her closely.

...

Half an hour later, the Han army commander was in the tent.

Bai Qi picked up a string of agate necklaces, took another wine utensil made of gold, sneered, threw it back into the box, and said to Anadoli, who was sitting at the bottom:

"Why should Her Majesty the Queen be so polite? This governor came to you, Yuezhi Kingdom, not for these golden agate, but to ask you to collect a batch of food and grass. I believe General Lu has told you this, so I don't need to repeat it again, right?"

Anadoli crossed her hands and put them on her chest and bowed slightly to Bai Qi and said, "General Bai, don't get me wrong. These jewelry and goldware are just gifts to General Bai for a long time and have long been honored by General Bai's reputation. As for the food and grass that General Bai said, please give me an approximate amount. My Yuezhi Kingdom will do my best to get it."

Bai Qi was very satisfied with the respectful and conscious attitude of the young and beautiful Queen of Yuezhi, and said with a smile:

"Okay, since Her Majesty the Queen is so enlightened, Bai Qi will only sell you the Yuezhi Kingdom for a face, eighty thousand stones of wheat, fifty thousand sheep, you will need it within two days.

Compared with the amount of food and grass that Dayuan and Cheshi need to collect, this governor thought it was already very generous, so he asked Her Majesty the Queen not to refuse."

When Anadoli heard this, she thought about it.

To be honest, the 80,000 stone wheat can be taken out. Compared to paying 300,000 wheat to the Monlo Empire every year, it is really a conscience.

But it is not easy to get 50,000 sheep for a while, and it is impossible to get 50,000 sheep in two days.

With that, Anadoli said: "General Bai, the 80,000-stone wheat-Yuezhi Kingdom can hand over it on time, but these 50,000 sheep are probably not able to get it together in two days..."

"The total number of cattle and sheep in various pastures in Yuezhi Kingdom is more than one million, but will it not be possible to get together for just 50,000 sheep?" Bai Qi frowned, his tone was threatening.

Anadoli replied: "What General Bai said is true. There are more than one million cattle and sheep in Yuezhi, but they are all scattered in various oasis and pastures. Even if you order people to collect them immediately, it will take at least five days. Please ask General Bai to take a clear review."

Bai Qi thought for a while and asked, "How many sheep are there in the city now?"

Anadoli replied: "There are 3,000 sheep in the fence of the royal palace ranch, and the elders in the Elders' Courtyard have a total of about 30,000, but..."

She paused, bit her lower lip lightly, and whispered: "But it will be difficult for them to hand over the sheep."

"As the king of a country, do you have no right to order them to hand over it?" Bai Qi asked.

Anadoli shook her head and said self-deprecatingly: "To be honest with General Bai, this queen is just a puppet at the mercy of others and cannot give orders to the Elders' House..."

After a while of silence, Bai Qi said again: "Thirty thousand sheep, this is the bottom line of this governor. Her Majesty the Queen will find a way..."

Anadoli was stunned and said with a wry smile: "It would be better to kill Gu like this than General Bai. If Gu had the ability to order the Elders' Courtyard, he would not have been in such a situation..."

Bai Qi frowned and said thoughtfully: "Her Majesty, it seems that you, the king of the country, are really not very good. Let me and the army enter the city. I will personally talk to your elders. What do you think?"

Anadoli hurriedly refused: "No, no, General Bai, please be sure to restrain your army and not let them enter the city..."

Bai Qi's face turned cold: "I know what Her Majesty the Queen is worried about? Is it because the army entered the city to cause chaos? You can rest assured that this is the case. Unless someone in the city provokes and makes things difficult, such an unpleasant thing will never happen!"

Anadoli saluted and said, "Please leave some face to see Gu as the king of a country. The army really cannot enter the city. However, if General Bai is willing to help Gu, 30,000 sheep will definitely be sent to the army on time within two days."

Bai Qi no longer insisted and said, "Okay, Her Majesty the Queen, tell me, how can I help you if I want this governor?"

Anadoli said: "The Yuezhi Kingdom needs the Han army as its backer. Gu hopes that General Bai can stand behind Gu and protect the Yuezhi royal family!"

Bai Qi asked coldly: "Her Majesty, do you use this governor as a tool?"

Anadoli shook her head: "General Bai, Gu knows that this request may be a bit too much, but please be sure to believe Gu. As long as the Han army is willing to support the Yuezhi royal family, Yuezhi will always be the most loyal vassal state of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions..."

Anadoli's words have risen to the relationship between countries, which forced Bai Qi to think carefully. After all, the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate needs cooperation with foreign countries to gain a foothold. With the strength of the Yuezhi Kingdom, there is indeed this capital.

Soon, Bai Qi bowed and replied: "This governor agreed to His Majesty the Queen's request. From now on, the Han army will be the greatest backer of the friendly countries. If anyone dares to destroy the peace of the friendly countries, the Han army will definitely find justice for the Yuezhi Kingdom!"

With Bai Qi's words, Anadoli's heart finally settled down. This talk with Bai Qi not only prevented him from killing, but also reached cooperation with each other. It was a joy to everyone.

Now, what Anadoli has to do is to borrow the Han army to start putting pressure on the Elders' Court, re-establish the reputation of the Yuezhi King, and remove the identity of the puppet.
