At this moment, the Holy Prince of the Great Wei Empire came here in person. Such a thing is definitely an unprecedented and unprecedented event.
Therefore, the King of Loulan and the nobles of Loulan are very clear about the importance of this matter!
The Great Wei Empire dispatched three powerful generals at the same time, and even dispatched tens of thousands of well-equipped elite soldiers of the Great Wei to set out for the Western Regions and even stationed here.
And now, on the Central Plains, the radiant Holy Prince has personally come to the Western Regions.
If you say it's all right, I'm afraid you won't believe it, right?
After all, this kind of battle is really too big. If it is just to come to the Western Regions for fun, there is no need to make such a publicity, let alone such a big fanfare.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Great Wei Empire must have made new moves, and such moves were aimed at the Western Regions.
During the Han Dynasty, the Changshi Mansion above the Western Regions was located in the Loulan Kingdom.
Since the decline of the Han Dynasty and the turmoil in the Central Plains, the last long history of the Western Regions was even more unclear, without the slightest news.
From then on, the Loulan Kingdom cut off all ties with the Central Plains, and even gave up its plan to continue paying tribute to the Central Plains.
But now, this declining great man has been replaced by this powerful Cao Wei. After the rise of Cao Wei, a prosperous scene appeared on the land of the Central Plains, which can be said to be like a prosperous age.
And this Loulan Kingdom, as a former courtier of the Central Plains, was naturally very flustered about such a situation.
Many countries in the Western Regions, headed by the Loulan Kingdom, had to re-declare to pay tribute to the Great Wei Empire because of the mighty strength of the Great Wei Empire.
Such situations can be said to be continuous, no matter whether they are traveling from south to north or other caravans, all of them have tasted the benefits under such circumstances.
They discovered that by paying tribute to the Great Wei Empire, they could gain more benefits under the influence of the Great Wei Empire. This kind of life made them more prosperous and more at ease.
Under such circumstances, many countries in the Western Regions chose to surrender to the Great Wei Empire.
However, the Great Wei Empire is not a big man. Judging from the current deeds, the next purpose of the Great Wei Empire is to complete the things that the big man failed to do.
And this matter is to incorporate all the vast and boundless areas of the Western Regions into the administrative system of the Great Wei Empire.
The reason for choosing this method is to implement everything about the Great Wei Empire on the vast land of the Western Regions.
Simply relying on paying tribute to become a vassal is far from enough, and it is not even possible to completely control the Western Regions.
If you want to firmly control the Western Regions in the hands of the Great Wei Empire, you must start from the politics, economy, culture, personnel, regional policies, and military affairs of the Western Regions.
Only by firmly grasping all these situations in one's own hands can one be able to completely control the entire Western Regions and integrate the entire Western Regions into the Great Wei Empire.
Such a thing is inevitable, and it is the trend of the times.
Everything in the Great Wei Empire is now developing toward strength, beauty, and all-round development. Under such circumstances, the bordering land of the Western Regions is the first place that the Great Wei Empire needs to hold in its hands.
For such a situation and situation, the people of Loulan Kingdom are very clear in their hearts, and they also understand what the next move of the Great Wei Empire will be.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Loulan Kingdom was soon divided into two factions and two camps.
In this regard, the King of Loulan and the nobles in the Loulan Kingdom had a very heated discussion, and each of them was very firm in their own ideas.
In this Loulan Kingdom, a part of them is the Surrender Sect who chose to surrender, and among the Surrender Sect, the leader is the Loulan King of this Loulan Kingdom!
King Loulan felt that Loulan was too close to the Great Wei Empire, and it was almost a matter of a few days.
Even after King Loulan heard that the Great Wei Empire has a train that travels day and night, travels extremely fast, and can reach the Western Regions in an instant, he was terrified.
In his opinion, the army of the Great Wei Empire is like the magic soldiers from the sky, they can come to him as soon as they say it. Under such circumstances, how can he not be afraid in King Loulan's heart?
King Loulan felt that if the Great Wei Empire wanted to annex Loulan, then they would have no capital to resist, and it would be impossible.
Under such circumstances, instead of passively accepting the solicitation of the Great Wei Empire, it is better to take the initiative to throw yourself into his arms. Maybe the emperor of Great Wei will be able to give them some other benefits, rewards or something when he is happy.
However, there are still some people in the Loulan Kingdom who do not agree with such a situation of surrender and submission, and these people have also organized to form the opposite of King Loulan, forming an opposition!
Most of the people in the opposition are represented by those aristocratic interest groups. Once Loulan Kingdom is annexed by the Great Wei Empire, the land, servants, identities, and various rights in their hands will be wanted. If it disappears, it will become empty.
Under such circumstances, how could they be willing?
Even, if they agree, maybe other than King Loulan who will be made a Marquis, the other people may not have the slightest chance at all.
These other people are very likely to become victims of this merger, and even in their view, the ambitions of the Great Wei Empire have other attempts. It must be a case of such a situation appearing on the land of the Western Regions. will not be accepted by other countries.
At that time, the Loulan family is not the only country that will resist. Under such circumstances, what they need to do is to unite all these resisting countries, and then use forces other than Guishuang to fight against the Great Wei Empire.
Under such circumstances, it is also possible to dispel the wolfish ambitions of Da Wei, and even if it cannot be dispelled, it can still delay such things.

Chapter 745 Powerful New Taoism
In the eyes of these dignitaries, it is impossible for the Great Wei Empire to devote all its energy to them, so as long as they survive this period of time, they will be able to see the light of day again.
A good life awaits them.
Under such circumstances, these people did not even have the idea of surrendering, so they also condensed together, and then formed this opposition.
Over the past few days, the surrender faction and the opposition faction have been communicating, confronting, and playing games.
This is a war without gunpowder smoke. Although there is no gunpowder smoke, various meaningful words can be heard from the verbal battle between the two sides.
However, there is still no result in such a situation. Now His Royal Highness has come to the Western Regions. Under such circumstances, many classes in the Western Regions have become turbulent.
Although King Loulan is old, he came out to greet Cao Ang in person after he knew Cao Ang was sent to the Western Regions, which can be said to be very respectful!
Under such circumstances, Cao Ang also approached the seemingly very prosperous and rich Loulan King City.
Regarding this, he didn't panic in the slightest, not only was he very sure about this matter in his heart, but he also had confidence in the current mighty strength of the Great Wei Empire.
After entering the Loulan King City, the first thing Cao Ang noticed was the expressions in the eyes of those nobles, as well as their emotional fluctuations.
Under such circumstances, Cao Ang quickly observed the situation clearly, and even understood some twists and turns involved in it.
It can be said that the only reason there are forces of resistance in the Loulan Kingdom is because of the emergence of a group of dignitaries from the Western Regions, and it is because of these dignitaries that there are people who will hinder the Great Wei's plan.
If the Western Regions were to be successfully annexed, the first thing the Great Wei Empire needed to do was to wipe out all the conservatives and the so-called dignitaries of the ten countries.
Although I know the direction, but I can't do it directly. If you want to do it successfully and don't want to intensify the conflict, then this matter naturally needs detailed preparation and planning.
In Cao Ang's view, these dignitaries should be eradicated, but they can't kill everyone with one stick, and in a situation like this, the feelings of the local people must be taken into account.
Therefore, this matter should not be rushed, it should be carried out slowly, and they should not be charged with random crimes and then eradicated. If this is done, it will be even more difficult to implement after arousing public anger.
Therefore, if you want this matter to end perfectly, you must have a very reasonable reason.
After the group of people entered the royal city of the Loulan Kingdom, the Loulan King also saluted the Great Wei Crown Prince in front of him very respectfully, and then said, "Loulan Kingdom ministers, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Holy Prince!"
