Lord Longyang did not truly trust Han Xin. Loulan had become a top-tier power in the Western Regions, which naturally meant it had no shortage of formidable generals and armies.
However, since they were Loulan locals, they could not represent the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Therefore, the commander had to be chosen either from the diplomatic envoy or from the arrivals sent by Bingzhou.
Because of this, even though he was handing an army of five thousand over to Han Xin to attack Shanguo, Lord Longyang could not treat the lives of five thousand soldiers as a child's game. He still dispatched a team of Loulan military officers to act as an observation mission to evaluate Han Xin's operations. If necessary, this observation group had the authority to step in and take back command.
