As for Liu Wei crossing the line, seizing the three counties of Hexi, and engaging in a major battle with the army of Ding Yuan, the governor of Liangzhou, Chen Ji could understand it after learning the cause and effect.
Ding Yuan was willing to abandon the Western Regions and Hexi in order to quell the rebellion, which made Chen Ji, who had once served in the General's Mansion, despise him.
Ding Yuan was responsible for the disaster that befell the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions at the hands of the Yuchi Xianbei!
Since Ding Yuan disregarded the three commanderies of Hexi and the people of the Western Regions, it was only natural for the King of Yunzhong to send troops to occupy them in order to ensure that the Han Dynasty would not lack food and drink!
Afterwards, he set off from Juyan to Loulan, where he was completely convinced of Liu Wei's abilities and was willing to serve him wholeheartedly.
"Yuanfang, what's your opinion on the situation in the Western Regions?"
"Yuanfang, you and Rengui shall make the decisions on important military and political matters in the Western Regions yourselves."
"Yuanfang, from now on you will work with Rengui to manage the Western Regions well, to protect this beautiful land for the Han Dynasty and for me!"
Liu Wei was happy to have some free time, so he entrusted all affairs in the Western Regions to the chief secretary of the Western Regions Protectorate.
This included not only the civil administration of the Western Regions countries, but also the trade along the Silk Road.
Even the arrangements for the 100,000-strong construction corps in the Western Regions and the mining and refining of potash fertilizer in Puchanghai.
Liu Wei also entrusted Chen Ji with important matters such as how to exchange coal mining tools from Woye with those from the Western Regions and establish distribution and trade.
Suddenly, Chen Ji felt a surge of pressure, his breathing quickening as he assumed the post of Chief Secretary of the Protectorate of the Western Regions for the King of Yunzhong.
Although he is the second most powerful person in the Western Regions, this is not how one should act!
Seeing Chen Ji immediately get busy, Liu Wei felt quite gratified and prepared to leave with Chen Lian.
"Princess Sharde has prepared a farewell banquet tonight. Your Highness is kindly requested to attend with your subordinates."
At this moment, Bai Shi, the commander of the king's guards, came to report.
"Your Highness is so kind; we will certainly come!" Liu Wei nodded.
He will be leaving tomorrow, so it is only natural for Loulan to hold a farewell banquet for him.
