Yang Rui was stunned by Pei Liena's words. The younger sister of the Loulan princess was definitely a princess as well. At first, Yang Rui thought that she was captured together with Pei Liena's bodyguards because there were only women among them.
However, after some investigation, Yang Rui realized that Pei Liena's younger sister was actually a commander!
Yang Rui had only captured two commanders in Tongluo City. One of them was captured during the Loulan tribe's counterattack, while the other was captured during the chaotic battle before Yang Rui attacked Tongluo City.
According to Pei Liena's description, her younger sister should be the Loulan commander captured during the chaotic battle. It was no wonder that the Xiongnu soldiers took special care of her. It turned out that she was the princess of Loulan!
However, Yang Rui did not discover the identity of the other party. Even Cheng Yu, who had always had good eyesight, did not discover any clues.
It was only when Yang Rui brought her to meet Pei Liena that Yang Rui finally saw the true face of this little princess.
It turned out that the little princess also had an item similar to the Shapeshifting Mask * Soul. It was called "Datura's Illusory Nightmare * Soul". It was a Violet-Gold soul-type item that was even more powerful than Yang Rui's Shapeshifting Mask!
Because of this, Yang Rui and Cheng Yu did not see through her true identity.
When the little princess of Loulan was captured, she looked like a powerful general. After she removed the "Datura Illusory Nightmare Soul", a face that was almost identical to Princess Pei Liena's appeared before everyone's eyes. Everyone sighed in amazement.
On one hand, they were amazed by the powerful effects of the "Datura Illusory Nightmare Soul". On the other hand, they were amazed by the beauty of this little princess of Loulan. At the same time, they were also amazed by her appearance that was extremely similar to Pei Liena's.
After Pei Liena's introduction, everyone understood that this little princess of Loulan was actually her twin sister. That was why the two of them looked so similar.
However, the two of them had completely different personalities. Among them, Pei Liena's personality was gentle and tenacious, and she was praised and followed by many people. Her younger sister, Pei Liena, had a straightforward and fiery personality, just the opposite of Pei Liena, and she often dressed up as a man.
Very few people even knew that Pei Lianna was a woman, or even thought that she and Pei Lianna, who occasionally revealed her true appearance, were the same person.
At this moment, Princess Pei Lianna revealed her true identity as a girl, which aroused the curiosity of everyone present. She was dressed in armor and was not fond of red makeup. Coupled with her refined face, she looked heroic from head to toe. She was very different from Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao.
Pei Liena and Pei Lianna were finally reunited. Since Yang Rui was preparing to help Pei Liena expel the Xiongnu, they were no longer on opposing sides with Yang Rui. At the same time, they were very grateful to Yang Rui for his help.
As for the other general who was captured during the counterattack of the Loulan tribe, the two princesses also knew him. His name was Anarico. He was the Loulan Kingdom's Great General.
According to the two princesses' confirmation, although this person worked for their royal brother, his actions had always been approved by the majority. His attitude towards the Xiongnu was also somewhat different from his royal brother's. However, due to his status, he was unable to change the status quo.
The Loulan Kingdom's Great General was quite different from the Great Han Dynasty's Great General. According to the two princesses, Loulan currently had a total of five Great Generals.
Two Loulan Princesses, plus a Great General with a good reputation. Since they appeared in front of Yang Rui, Yang Rui had already decided to do everything in his power to win them over.
At this time, what Yang Rui's forces lacked the most was strategists and generals. Back when he was in the Wo civilization's territory, Yang Rui had the idea of recruiting generals from outside the three civilizations' territory.
Moreover, before that, Yang Rui had already captured 9 Hōjō Generals and 4 Rijian Generals. He was waiting for an opportunity to try to subdue some of them. However, Yang Rui was also very clear that this would not be easy.
At this time, the two Loulan Princesses' faction had already changed to neutral. Yang Rui felt that as long as he helped them complete the mission of eliminating the Xiongnu threat, in addition to the fact that Pei Liena had always admired the Great Han Dynasty, there should be hope of winning them over first.
While everyone's attention was still focused on the two Loulan Princesses, Pei Liena and Pei Liena. Yang Rui had already begun to consider the issue of conquering the Xiongnu.
Currently, Yang Rui had arrived in the Loulan region through teleportation. If his guess was correct, the Xiongnu that appeared in this region should be the Northern Xiongnu after the Xiongnu split.
Yang Rui was already very familiar with the situation of the Northern and Southern Xiongnu. First, he heard Cheng Yu mention the records in the history books. Later, Yang Rui specially looked up the relevant information.
The Northern and Southern Xiongnu split into the Northern and Southern Xiongnu during the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Only 200 years had passed since the game's setting. At that time, the Southern Xiongnu had basically attached themselves to the Han Dynasty while the Northern Xiongnu had migrated to the Gobi Desert before continuing their migration to the West.
The Southern Xiongnu that Yang Rui used the Punitive Expedition Token to target was the Southern Xiongnu. The Xiongnu in the Loulan region should be the Northern Xiongnu without a doubt. It was impossible for the Southern Xiongnu to extend their tentacles here.
The Northern Xiongnu's strength was not to be underestimated. In the historical records, they had caused a lot of trouble for Central Asia and even further Europe. In the game's setting, the Northern Xiongnu were also very powerful. This point could be seen from the difference in power between the Northern and Southern Xiongnu.
Yang Rui had heard from Cheng Yu that during the Northern and Southern Xiongnu's peak, the Northern Xiongnu had 36 Core Tents. When the Northern and Southern Xiongnu split, 16 Core Tents were taken away by the Northern Xiongnu, leaving the Southern Xiongnu with 19 Core Tents and one Core King Tent.
In other words, the Northern Xiongnu had taken away nearly half of the Xiongnu's power. Moreover, in the Gobi Desert, where there were almost no natural enemies, their development should be better. At least, that was the case in the historical records.
This was the opponent Yang Rui had to face. Even if Yang Rui's analysis was slightly off, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. This was because during the chaotic battle outside Tonglo City, Yang Rui had already clashed with the Xiongnu.
Although Yang Rui had defeated his opponents, compared to the Southern Xiongnu, the Xiongnu here were much stronger.
"200 li ahead is one of the Xiongnu's Core Tents. I am willing to be your guide and follow you to kill the enemy. I hope you will allow it."
