Not to mention anything else, just by looking at Guan Ning's age, you know that Guan Ning must be an official with certain qualifications in the Jin Dynasty court.

"I am the Minister of Rites of the State of Jin." Guan Ning introduced.

Aluqi hurriedly raised his hands and said, "It's time to take care of Ning Shangshu."

The two chatted happily and entered Chang'an City together. The Minister of Rites of Jin came out to greet them, which gave the Kushan envoy a lot of face.

Aluqi was shocked by the wide streets. There were no such roads in Guishang, but after entering the Jin Kingdom, such smooth roads seemed so ordinary.

Even so, the grand layout of Chang'an City still gives people a feeling of surprise. Just from the width of the streets, you can know how huge Chang'an City is.

The capital of Jin State is so majestic. Although I have heard about it before, I still feel lost after seeing it in detail. Peshawar, the capital of Kushan, is known as a solid city, but compared with Chang'an, the capital of Jin State, it is... It's quite a gap.

Not only in terms of the strength of the capital, but also in terms of the population of the capital, compared with the Jin State, Kushan still had many shortcomings.

There is nothing we can do about this matter. Who allows Jin to occupy more wealthy places?

However, Jin is far away from the land of Kushan. When Jin is in civil strife, it is difficult for the people of Kushan to benefit from it. If they want to launch a war against Jin and attack the capital of Jin, they will only need food and grass on the way. The consumption of materials is a huge amount. If such a war happens, I am afraid it is not what any monarch wants to see.

When a war is going on, if the consumption of materials is too high, even after victory in the war, it will be a failed war.

The Jin State has strengthened its control in Wusun and other places, and even increased its troops. This is what worries the Guishangs the most. Once the Jin army stabilizes the situation in Wusun and other four countries, if it takes action against the Guishangs, it will be very difficult for the Guishangs. What impact will the frost situation have?

The Jin State, which occupies the land of the Four Kingdoms, will be even more terrifying in terms of strength.

However, such worries were well hidden by Aluqi for the time being. He came to the Jin State this time to maintain the relationship between the two parties so that the relationship between the two parties could be maintained normally. Even if the previous relationship between Kushan and the Jin State was There were some fighting during the period, but now that the war has subsided and the two sides have resumed their friendship, they should maintain a good relationship.

Guan Ning was the Minister of Rites of the Jin State.

At first, Aluqi didn't think much about it, but while walking in the city, Aluqi suddenly thought of what the Minister of Rites was doing. The Jin State had three provinces and six departments, which were the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Among the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment, the one with the least power is the Ministry of Rites.

However, the person who serves as the Minister of Rites must have a certain prestige in the Jin State. People in the Jin State have always paid more attention to understanding matters.

But what puzzled Aluqi was that since the Jin State paid more attention to etiquette, why did it behave so shamelessly on the battlefield outside the countries in the Western Regions? After joining forces with Dawan, they conquered Dawan and fought with After the Xiongnu united, they defeated the Xiongnu. Judging from these actions, the people of Jin were absolutely shameless.

However, the land of the Four Kingdoms has been occupied by the Jin army. This is an out-and-out fact. Even though such a thing will have a great impact on the reputation of the Jin State, the people of the Jin State will pay more attention to this aspect. In fact, many problems can be seen from the attitude of the people of Jin in dealing with this matter.

Speaking of the same situation, even if it is placed on the people of Kushan, I am afraid it will be the same. Anyway, they have received enough benefits in the war. Even if they bear more scolding, it will not be enough for the people of Jin. What the heck.

War itself is full of many changes, and the party with the means can get more benefits in the war. The victory of the Jin army on the battlefield is a good illustration.

If you don't have enough strength and means, you can only continue to suffer losses in the war. The Jin State plans itself to be the land of the Four Kingdoms. Although the means adopted will give people a sense of shame, the victory achieved by the Jin Army , it is a good illustration that as long as the means are appropriate, even if some of the means used are despicable, it does not matter.

Because what the Jin army pursues in war is victory, and continuous victory is in the interests of the Jin army.

This kind of Jin army is actually the most terrifying. They don't pay attention to any means in the war. They are just for victory. Even if they use despicable means in the war, it is acceptable to the kings and ministers of Jin. , if we encounter such an army in a head-on battle, we can actually predict what will happen.

Most of the time, wars test the combat capabilities of military officers. If they cannot make greater achievements in the war, the monarch's preparations for the war will be in vain.

For example, when Kushan attacked Guishan City before, there were a lot of preparations for the follow-up. Even if the Parthian Empire would launch an attack at this time, it was within the consideration of Kushan monarchs and ministers. However, this battle was based on the Kushan army. It ended in failure, which made all the previous plans of the Kushan monarchs and ministers useless.

The failure of the war was a huge blow not only to the military officers and soldiers, but also to the officials in the DPRK.

Even if such failures occur too many times, the lieutenants and officers will lose confidence in the war, making them not believe in their own strength, and even think that the enemy's strength far exceeds their own. If such a concept is formed, they will have no confidence in the war. The impact that military officers and soldiers can create is huge.

In many cases, war is not terrible. The key is that after the war, the military generals have experienced failure and can come out of the failure of the war. They will not suffer greater setbacks because of the failure of the war. They will not suffer because of the failure of the war. The war failed and they lost confidence in future battles.

Confidence is particularly important for military lieutenants as they navigate the battlefield.

In this regard, the Jin army soldiers have always paid attention to it. Even if the Jin army soldiers suffered setbacks on the battlefield, they can quickly get out of the war. When facing new wars, they will not have the slightest fear. This kind of Jin army is actually the most terrifying.

If they were to face the Jin army head-on, what the enemy would experience would be the ferocity of the Jin army.

The Kushan soldiers who had had direct battles with the Jin army before definitely knew this.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the conversation between Aluqi and Guan Ning was quite pleasant. Guan Ning was the Minister of Rites, and he was a knowledgeable person, while Aluqi was able to reach the position of Guishan Prime Minister. He is also very knowledgeable in terms of knowledge. Although the contents of the books they understand are different, there is still no obstacle in some conversations.

There are actually quite a few books brought to Kushan by Jin merchants. After the Jin books were brought to Kushan by merchants, they set off quite a craze in Kushan. They did not expect that books could be used as Presented in this way, it is more convenient to read the book.

Although many people bought it, it was mostly because of the novelty. After all, the Kushan people knew very little about Jin's writing.

Since the defeat of the Kushan army against the Jin army, Prime Minister Aluqi began to slowly learn the Jin language. There was no problem in some basic conversations, but Aluqi understood that it was only at this level. , if used as an envoy, it is definitely not enough. He is pretending not to understand the Jin language.

Aluqi also had a certain understanding of the books of the Jin Kingdom, so that after coming to the Jin Kingdom, the conversation could be smoother.

After a conversation, Guan Ning felt good about Aluqi, but this was just Guan Ning's own attitude. The task he received was to receive the Kushan envoy, and he had no rights for the rest. Well, if the Kushan envoy has other requirements, he must obtain the consent of the Emperor of Jin.

Guan Ning is the Minister of Rites, so he can still meet the emperor if he wants to.

In this way, Aluqi would be able to avoid going to the palace to inquire about trivial matters.

Besides, it would also be beneficial for Aluqi to let the Kushan envoys temporarily live in the city for a period of time. The key is to see how Aluqi views this matter. If Aluqi is eager to see Jin As the emperor of the country, Lu Bu would not force it.

In any case, Kushan and Jin are currently in a diplomatic relationship. It is also appropriate for important Kushan officials to receive corresponding courtesy after coming to Chang'an. If they do not do a good job in this regard, they will inevitably be punished by others. Lu Bu still pays more attention to such things as leaving something to say.

There is indeed a certain amount of grudges between Guishan and Jin, but they are currently friends. The merchants of Guishan and Jin also have a lot of contacts with each other. If this situation continues, for both parties, They all have great benefits, and it is something Kushan would like to see if this situation can be maintained as long as possible.

In fact, Jin merchants brought a lot of benefits from Kushan. What the Kushan merchants brought had a certain appeal to the people of Jin, but compared with the business methods of Jin merchants when they went to Kushan, , it’s still much worse.

The things brought by Jin merchants have been very popular in Kushan. The main business direction of Jin merchants is people with a certain status in Kushan. Ordinary people who want to enjoy these things, It's simply impossible.

In the past, it might have been risky for Jin merchants to do business in Guishang, but the situation is different now. After Guishan made friends with Jin, they must show enough sincerity. The most important thing is That is, the merchants of the Jin State must receive corresponding protection after arriving in Kushan. If someone from Kushan takes action against the merchants of the Jin State, how can the Jin State give up on this matter given the hegemony of the Jin State?

Small things, in many cases, will become the trigger of war between the two sides. Therefore, the Kushan side pays more attention to these situations. In any case, it cannot conflict with the Jin army at this time and let the conflict between the two sides The better the relationship is maintained, the more helpful it will be for the development of Kushan.

This kind of thing is aggrieved for the people of Kushan. As a powerful empire in the past, they had to endure such a price after losing the battle against the Jin army.

But this is the cruel fact. If you cannot win against the enemy, you will be punished accordingly, and such punishment is inevitable.

War is a huge challenge for military officers. If you can get a chance to win in such a challenge, it will be of great help to the country's future development. Otherwise, failure in the war will affect the country's development. development, this is also a normal thing.

All the main generals on the battlefield understand these principles, so what they have to do on the battlefield is to lead the army to victory as much as possible. Only after winning the war can they gain from the war. More benefits.

Lieutenants and generals in the army actually don't yearn for war that much, but sometimes, war is not an option for them.

The soldiers of Kushan have experienced many wars before they have the stability they have today. If possible, the people of Kushan naturally hope that such stability can be maintained more.

The war with the Jin State was a decision-making error by the Kushan officials. The Kushan officials at that time did not have enough understanding of the Jin State. The new war weapons used by the Jin Army in the war had a profound impact on the situation of the war. It has a huge impact. It is actually conceivable how difficult it would be for the Kushan army to win with such methods as the Jin army.

The failure of the war was no surprise, but it was too unexpected for the Kushan people. The Kushan cavalry that roamed the battlefield actually failed when fighting the Jin army, and the failure was so miserable. , such a war result was once unacceptable to the monarchs and ministers of Kushan.

Through the conversation, the relationship between the two became more intense, but Aluqi could feel that when facing some of his inquiries, Guan Ning seemed to explain in detail, but in the explanation of these things, as long as it was When it comes to some unknown things about the Jin Dynasty, it will be unclear.

In handling this matter, Guan Ning was obviously more sophisticated than the Minister of Rites, so the other party obviously got a lot of information, but when he really thought about it, he found that such a result seemed to have an effect. It's not very big, because there are many things that can be found out by secretly asking people to inquire.

Aluqi came to Chang'an as an envoy of Guishang. How could he not have other means? Maybe some actions had already been carried out secretly.
