The Luoyang incident was already in mind when Ye Zhao left Zhangye. This time Ye Zheng sent troops, it seemed hasty. In fact, the preparations had already begun as early as when he was recovering the court. So three days later, when Ye Zheng said goodbye to Liu Wei, the 30,000 Lanchi new army had already gathered outside the Xicheng schoolyard.

This time, Ye Zheng sent troops to Luoyang to announce the ownership of Luoyang. It is important and important, but it is impossible to start a full war between Ye Zhao and Cao Cao. The two major forces spanning the north and south states have also been tested by time and it is absolutely not possible to complete the two sides if they want to eliminate the other side in a year or two.

In addition to military strength and logistics, there are more people's concerns. In this regard, Cao Cao and Ye Zhao are between the five and five.

Although Ye Zhao has been constantly instilling some Guanzhong ideas into the people of the Central Plains through various channels over the years, Cao Cao's governance of Guandong is not bad. The people are seeking stability. Unless they cannot survive, no one will do anything like welcoming Ye Zhao at this time. As for scholars, even if Cao Cao is now making drastic and suppressing, as the culprit who has leveraged the scholar class, scholars cannot have any favoritism towards Ye Zhao.

So this battle is important, but it has not yet reached the level of deciding the outcome of both sides, so Ye Zhao agreed to Ye Zheng's request to fight, one is to train Ye Zheng, and the other is to confuse his opponent.

Seeing Ye Zheng's army disappear at the end of his sight, Ye Zhao sighed silently and took his ministers back to Chang'an City.

"Prime Minister." As soon as he entered the city, he saw an eunuch running hurriedly and bowing to Ye Zhao and saying.

"What's the matter?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows. This little eunuch was a person around Liu Bian. He usually served Liu Bian, similar to Zhang Rang and Liu Hong. However, his status was not as high as Zhang Rang. He was also responsible for helping Ye Zhao monitor Liu Bian so that he would not come out on time.

"A group of envoys from the Western Regions came to pay tribute. Your Majesty seemed very interested and met the envoys in Weiyang Palace." said the little eunuch.

"That's all?" Ye Zhao said in confusion.

"It is Your Majesty who wants his servants to come and inform the Prime Minister and all the ministers that they will officially receive these Western Region envoys tomorrow morning." The little eunuch bowed and said.

"Oh, which country's envoy from the Western Regions has such a face?" Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this. The Northern Huns and the Western Xianbei were all given the popularity of the Western Regions. Which country dared to show such a big style and want all the civil and military officials to meet?

"It's the envoy of Kucha." The eunuch bowed quickly.

"Kucha?" Ye Zhao thought for a while. If it were not for the three giants such as Dayuan, Wusun and Kangju, Kucha could be ranked first. There were more than ten cities with a population of less than 200,000, and there were about 10,000 soldiers across the country.

Ye Zhao is already familiar with the information about the countries in the Western Regions, especially these small countries. Kucha can barely be considered a big country in the Western Regions, but even so, Ye Zhao does not think that the other party has the qualification to let the Han Dynasty so solemnly meet.

"Lord." Guo Jia leaned over to Ye Zhao and whispered: "This is the first time that Your Majesty has taken the initiative to ask all officials to go to court. It is best not to go against the situation. In the court tomorrow, you will act according to the opportunity."

Now that the two imperial courts are about to fight, if there is a rumor that the ruler and his subjects are not in harmony, it will inevitably have some impact.

Ye Zhao nodded and said to the little eunuch: "Go and tell Your Majesty that we will receive the order. Tomorrow morning, we will go to court to meet the Kucha envoy together."

"Here!" The little eunuch quickly agreed, bowed to Ye Zhao, turned around and ran away.

"Please send the information of the Kucha messenger!" Ye Zhao thought about it, but couldn't think of what it meant to send an envoy over at this time? After all, the Western Regions have just stabilized, and Kucha has not had the courage to provoke the great man.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Ye Zhao brought all the officials to the hall and saluted Liu Bian. After Ye Zhao, Li Ru came out behind him and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that an envoy from the Western Regions came yesterday. I wonder where that envoy was?"

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Wait for a moment, I have ordered someone to pass it on, and it should be here soon."

When Ye Zhao heard this, he looked at Liu Bian in shock. Many generals among the ministers were blown up.

"Absurd, a small foreign country envoy dares to ask all the civil and military officials to wait for him. Your Majesty..." Hua Xiong shouted irritably.

"Shut up!" Ye Zhao turned around, glared at Hua Xiong, looked up at Liu Bian, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am a great man, and I am the king of Han, and I am the king of the country. Although General Hua Xiong's words were a little more intense, it was not without reason. There is a difference between the superiors and the inferiors. But the envoys of a small country dared to ask me, the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the civil and military officials to wait. Isn't it too serious, right?"

At the end of the day, Ye Zhao's tone had already cooled down.

"Prime Minister calmed down." Liu Bian looked at Ye Zhao with some fear and said, "Maybe the masters were tired of traveling and delayed for a while, and it would not be a problem."

"Master?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, and did not directly push Liu Bian back, but asked back: "This is not a question of whether it is hindered. Please ask me, please pay homage to Your Majesty every day. If you let Your Majesty arrive first and wait for the civil and military officials in the court to worship, what would Your Majesty think?"

Although Liu Bian is just a puppet, Ye Zhao has not surpassed the etiquette and law since Liu Bian ascended the throne.

"According to the rules of Kucha..." Liu Bian looked at Ye Zhao weakly, wanting to defend himself.

"This is a great man!" Ye Zhao sighed and said to Liu Bian earnestly: "Not to say it is an envoy of Kucha, even if the King of Kucha comes, you have to follow the rules of my great man."

"Then... I will send someone to urge me?" Liu Bian tentatively said.

"No need." Ye Zhao turned around and said, "Where is the Palace Guard?"

"Here!" Dian Wei and He Man strode into the hall and bowed to Liu Bian.

"Send someone to invite those Kucha people." Ye Zhao's tone was aggravated when he said the word "invitation".

Dian Wei followed Ye Zhao for many years and immediately understood what Ye Zhao meant, and turned around and left.

"Prime Minister, this is not very appropriate. After all, he is an envoy..." Liu Bian hesitated.

"Your Majesty may have misunderstandings about the reception envoy!" Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Liu Bian and said, "First of all, the Kucha envoy came to see him, but he did not submit any documents in advance, so he could not be considered a real envoy. Secondly, even if they could represent the Kucha country, it was the highest etiquette for us, all civil and military officials to come to the hall and receive him in the court. We have already completed the etiquette. At this time, the Kucha people knew that we were here today, but deliberately could not go to the hall on time. This is not that we were rude, but that these Kucha people did not understand etiquette! In addition, Your Majesty may not understand the status of our great Han in the Western Regions, so he would be so polite to the Kucha envoy and beloved. Let me tell you about the status of our great Han in the Western Regions and the national conditions of Kucha."

"Here!" Man Chong stepped out of the line and bowed to Liu Bian and Ye Zhao respectively, and said loudly: "In the first year of Tai'an, the front of the Cheshi and the back of the Cheshi combined with the Northern Xiongnu. The Xianbei in the western region attacked our Xijun Yiwu, and moved the branch, Yihe and Liuhe counties to slaughter all the people of our Han family. The Prime Minister led the army westward. It took two years and seven months to slaughter all the Xianbei people and migrate all the Xianbei people into our Han area and naturalize them. The Northern Xiongnu fled far away to the extreme north. The two capitals of the Cheshi, Jiaohe City, and the two cities of Jinmancheng were even begging for surrender and living. At this point, the north of the Tianshan Mountains will all return to our Han family soil."

"In addition, the Prime Minister restarted the Silk Road. Kucha, Yanqi, Wulei, Gumo and other countries in the Western Regions all depended on our great Han survival and were able to settle down for our great Han vassal states, so that the great Han vassal states would not dare to be humiliated lightly. At the same time, the Prime Minister once set rules for the Western Regions that if our great Han vassal states, if our great Han vassal states enter the Western Regions, regardless of their origin, wealth, and poverty, all countries in the Western Regions should treat them with courtesy. Otherwise, they would be regarded as disrespectful to our great Han, and would deprive the power of the vassal states and would no longer be protected by our great Han vassal states!"

"Although Dayuan, Kangju and Wusun are not vassal states, our Han people shall not be treated harshly within their territory, otherwise they will be regarded as enemies of our Han. The Han will cut off trade with them, and the Han vassal states shall not trade with them in any way."

Although he already knew this, Man Chong's words still made the civil and military officials in the court feel excited. This is the domineering power that the power of a great country should have.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Bian with a little embarrassed expression and said, "A small foreign country that covers our Han Dynasty, let alone what virtues do you have. If you want the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty to welcome you, it is disrespectful to just let the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty and His Majesty wait here today!"

"Prime Minister, several masters are outsiders and cannot be bound by common etiquette." Liu Bian argued.

"?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Bian in shock: "Men?"

"Not bad." Liu Bian nodded.

Ye Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, my great man also has monks. Have you ever seen any monk with courage? Because he is a foreigner, he ignores the court's etiquette and law?"

"This... Maybe the monks in Middle-earth are different from those in Kucha. I heard that this Buddhist teachings came from Kucha." Liu Bian was afraid to look at Ye Zhao's gaze.

"I am frank, as long as I am a Han citizen, not to mention a monk, even a beggar begging along the street, when I go to the Kucha Kingdom, my status must be above the monks outside this place." Ye Zhao took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, you are my great Han emperor. I have something to do, so I will not stop you, but I hope your Majesty will not shame my entire great Han!"

"Prime Minister, I've said it!" Liu Bian said with a somewhat ugly expression.

Pass?

Ye Zhao wanted to say something else, but saw a scream outside the hall. Dian Wei and He Man led a team of Dian Wei to escort a dozen monks with bare heads into the hall.

"Dian Wei, you are arrogant, how can you be rude to the masters?" Liu Bian said with a look of ugly expression.

Ye Zhao was speechless. His cowardice is not only reflected in his character. As the emperor of a country, even in name, he is so weak to outsiders. Even if Ye Zhao returns the power to him now, Ye Zhao probably can sell the country.

"Dian Wei, you go out first." Ye Zhao turned his head and said to Dian Wei.
