Chapter 589: Fight If You Want
"Then please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to enthrone a monarch with royal blood as a princess!" the Kushan envoy said hurriedly.
Of course, he really didn't dare to say things like "You marry our Majesty".
But he still had some extravagant hopes in his heart. How about you marry me since our Kushan Empire is so powerful now?
“…”
Guo Hao also had a headache. The Kushans were quite sincere. Generally speaking, even if they couldn't reach an agreement, the polite atmosphere between both sides made it a bit difficult for him to deal with.
It would have been better if the Kushans had been more aggressive and just declared war directly.
He really couldn't handle this kind of humble attitude now.
"Your Highness is not even willing to grant me the title of Princess? Do you only want to use the palace maids to fool us, the Kushans?" The Kushan envoy felt uneasy.
"Except for Her Royal Highness the Princess, we in the Han Dynasty do not have any other female relatives of royal blood. If you can accept this, we can use our resources to find a maid from the Ye Ting Palace to be canonized as a princess and marry her to the Kushans. Then you can give us more gifts in return!"
Liu Zhang coughed and stood up. He had no daughter. If he had a daughter, he might have agreed to such a thing. He had heard of the Kushan Empire.
In the future his grandson will be the emperor of the empire, which sounds very prestigious.
However, the Han Dynasty actually has no princesses or princesses now. It is really unfortunate that you Kushans came at such a bad time.
The Kushan envoy was instantly furious. If a palace maid became the queen, how could their Kushan Empire save face?
Besides, even if Vasudeva accepted it, it would be of no use. The tribal branch leaders of the Great Yuezhi in the country would not recognize such a princess.
Vasudeva was not crazy. What he wanted was a princess who could unite the country for him, not such a deceitful one.
"No princesses and princesses?" The Kushan envoy stood up straight with a sneer on his face. Their previous emperor had at least thirty or forty children by the time of Vasudeva's generation.
There are at least hundreds of royal princesses and princesses in total. Now you tell me that it’s OK that you in the Han Dynasty don’t have any princesses, but you don’t even have any princesses?
Whose empire is a single-line inheritance? Aren't you bullying an honest person?
The Kushan envoy's previous servility was swept away, and a sneer appeared on his face.
In the past, the Wusun were able to be enthroned as princesses, but now the Kushans are ten or a hundred times more than the Wusun. You Han people don’t treat us as human beings, so we won’t give you any face either.
They were indeed concerned about the Han Empire, but they also defeated the Parthian Empire, and they were no longer as weak as they once were.
In fact, it was after the Kushans defeated the Parthians and the Parthians paid a certain amount of money and food that Vasudeva I had the idea of coming here to ask for the princess.
Although he had thought about it before, it had always remained at this stage. It was not until he defeated Anxi this idea became a burning thought in his mind.
"No means no!"
The Kushan envoy's tone was firm, and Guo Hao's tone was equally cold.
If someone is willing to give you face, it is because they see that you are sincere. If someone is not willing to give you face, you have to bear it.
The stern look in Guo Hao's voice could be felt by the Kushan envoy even without the use of telepathy. This kind of toughness and unwillingness to explain made the Kushan envoy look at him sideways, and he was even a little curious about Guo Hao's identity.
After all, the fact that Guo Hao was able to step forward and speak, and no one reacted, showed that he had the final say.
"My Kushan Empire defeated the Parthian Empire, with a million armored lions, and is one of the greatest empires of the time. How dare the Han Empire look down on us like this? Your Highness, please think about this carefully!" The Kushan envoy was no longer humble, staring at Guo Hao and said coldly.
"Once my Lord's army sets out, it won't be as easy to talk to you as it is today!"
"The last Hun who spoke to us like this was destroyed hundreds of years ago!" Guo Hao's voice became even sharper.
"I think Your Highness has no real power, so why not let Your Highness marry my lord!" The Kushan envoy said with a sneer, looking at Liu Ying.
It has come to this, what is there to be afraid of? You, the Han Dynasty, have defeated the Huns, and we, the Kushans, have defeated Parthia. We are all the same, so come and fight if you have the guts.
Since I can't get the princess by normal means, I will beat you until you, the Han Dynasty, agree.
"Take them all down!" Guo Hao's face turned completely dark.
Okay, since you, Kushans, are seeking death, the first target of the Han Dynasty will be you, Kushans.
Anyway, the Northern Huns, Goryeo, and Japan are all in our pockets, so we don’t care about a day or two. We will just defeat the Kushans first.
As soon as Guo Hao finished speaking, several members of the Kushan envoy group retreated quickly, planning to return to their country to inform Vasudeva I of these things.
Things have come to this point and there is no room for maneuver. Unless one side surrenders, the fight will have to begin.
In fact, this was also the purpose of Vasudeva I. The princess of the Han Dynasty was a tool for him to demonstrate his own achievements and to integrate the country's strength.
As for the next generation being passed on to the princess' son, this is indeed true. They do not attach importance to these things. After all, he is the biological son of Vasudeva I, and it is OK. Anyway, they are all of nomadic origin and they take it very seriously.
If he failed to win the princess, he could also fight a war with the Han Dynasty. He didn't even need to win. A draw would be enough for him to surpass Yan Gaozhen and become the greatest emperor.
"Catch them alive, don't let any of them go, capture them all!"
Guo Hao's face was gloomy. Three internal energies left his body and he wanted to fly away from the palace. He was thinking too much.
Following Guo Hao's order, previously only the guards had taken action, but now all the generals' internal energy left their bodies and rushed outwards.
As for Lu Bu and others, they did not move. If they were to capture the three people with internal energy leaving their bodies, they would have to take action. In that case, all these people with internal energy leaving their bodies in the Han Dynasty would be sent to the lower level to train again. It would be a waste to sit in their current positions.
"Your Highness, General, please calm down. There will be a result within an incense stick of time!"
Li Ru stepped forward calmly and said that Hua Xiong was on duty in Luoyang today. If Hua Xiong let these three guys escape, he would chop himself up and apologize to Hua Xiong.
"Humph!" The remaining silent Kushan envoys looked at Li Ru coldly. "One stick of incense, our country's masters are determined to leave, what can you do?"
Li Ru was too lazy to pay attention to the Kushan envoy. Are you kidding me? A country’s capital can allow three people to escape with internal energy?
Even if you are the three realm breakers, you will die here today.
The British envoys on the side began to whisper. They didn't think anything of the Kushan's performance. The empire was confident, which was normal. Only after a fight would they know who was stronger.
The Kushans had defeated the Parthians before. Although it seemed that there was a lot of cooperation between them, the Parthians did lose after all. They could also be called a powerful country.
What they care about is the performance of Lu Bu and others, and what they are discussing is the strength of those who have not yet set off.
It was obvious that those who went out had their internal energy leaving their bodies, so who are these people left now?
It can't be that all of them are breaking boundaries, that would be too exaggerated.
Especially the young man around eighteen years old opposite, it couldn't be that he had also broken through the realm. They couldn't test him or do anything else in the hall, and could only guess based on their eyesight.
