Both parties were willing to give face. Asha stood up and looked at the upper castes in the south and asked slowly, "Do you Kshatriyas from the south have the confidence to defend our Kushan land?"
"That's natural!" the upper castes in the south almost said in unison.
"Regardless of whether it's north or south, everything is our Kushan territory. May I ask if both sides have any objections?" After hearing this, Asha Cheng looked back, nodded slowly, and continued to ask.
Gacholi and other northern nobles and southern high castes looked at each other, but they all gave the same answer. Both the north and the south were Kushans. Vesudeva I was also very satisfied with this answer.
"In that case, what is the reason for the dispute between the south and the north?" Asha Cheng asked calmly, like a bishop with extremely high moral qualities.
"..." All the northern nobles and Brahmins were stunned. If they really wanted to say something, it would probably be to save face, but they couldn't say it directly in court. More importantly, if they think about it the other way around, the first question they asked
After answering, he still argued with those mentally retarded people from the north!
Now that we are confident of defeating the Han army, wouldn't it be a joke to have the mentally retarded regiment from the north come to our aid later? If we gain the advantage in this way, we will think about it again, both the north and the south are Kushans. I, the south, have both merit and hard work. Why?
Can't go to your north?
Naturally, there is no point in arguing further. As long as the South can defeat the Han Dynasty, well, there is no need to defeat the Han Dynasty. It only needs to get the Han Dynasty to agree to marry the princess, and then the South will be able to achieve great success both internally and externally.
win.
In the same way, if the South cannot defeat the Han Dynasty and loses its territory, then does the North still need the consent of the South to rescue them out of the same country? What a joke, the Kushan Emperor is still sitting on it, this is the same country
!
The same issues of Ashayana were more agreeable to Vesudeva I. Kushan is a country, not a union of two major groups, the north and the south.
In this way of thinking, isn't it a matter of course to mobilize troops from the north to the south to unite the front? It has never been possible to achieve the united front, but now it seems to be an opportunity. Take this opportunity to finalize the matter, and then conflicts will suddenly arise.
reduce!
After that, Ashayana stopped talking and went back to close his eyes and meditate, with an indifferent expression as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Vesudeva I was very satisfied. This is a wise man, and he really has time.
We need to get closer and closer to Zoroastrians.
Similarly, after listening to Ashasheng's questions, both the North and the South, although still a little unhappy with each other, stopped talking because of their confidence in their own strength and waited to see the other side's jokes.
As for Vesudeva I, he is naturally very satisfied with the current situation. Regardless of whether the south wins or loses, he will be given the opportunity to overwhelm the other side and allow Kushan to develop stronger strength.
Kushan is a whole country, not two major alliances. This is almost the wish that the Kushan emperor has always wanted to achieve, and this time Vesutiva I saw hope.
Of course, Chen Zhong just smiled. Chen Zhong, who clearly knew the strength of the Han Empire, could guarantee that the South would lose without a doubt, but if the final result was as good as he said, and the Northern nobles succeeded in overpowering the Southern high castes, etc.,
Just keep sleeping. You will have whatever you want in your dreams. Don’t think too much about reality.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what was said and what was done could be consistent, but there were many ways to make people feel frustrated, and the aristocratic family had already mastered this trick.
When the time comes, if you start any provocation, both sides will have an explosive mentality. They will directly open a field in the grain-producing areas in the south. After a year, the people of Kushan will be in dire straits. Then they can use the dirty tricks of the powerful in the past to exchange a bag of grain for one household.
A strong man or something.
Believe it or not, they randomly recruited hundreds of thousands of people and used even more despicable methods of forcing girls into prostitution. They robbed any village they encountered of food, burned the village, threw a few people into the well, and then buried the well.
Lose……
With this method, it won't take long before relying on the despicable aspects of human nature, rebels and refugees will become the mainstream. As long as they are willing to take action, Chen Zhong and others can make the entire map of Guishuang filled with refugees and rebels.
, the entire national system has collapsed.
It is said that destruction is easier than construction. This is the case. As long as the grain-producing areas collapse and people do this, the collapse of social order will be difficult for even a large country to deal with. To be precise, even if
A country with a strong foundation can almost replace people after being played like this. It doesn't even need a pusher later on. It will definitely be a warlord melee.
However, Chen Zhong and others would not use such anti-human tactics unless absolutely necessary. Even if the Xun family and Chen family knew these tricks, they would only use them as a last resort to suppress the situation.
After all, if this technique is used once, it will basically be on the blacklist of other families, so if possible, it is better to proceed step by step, pulling and pulling, bleeding, absorbing the nutrients of Kushan and so on.
What happened after that was basically nothing interesting. With Ashayana's words, both the southern high castes and the northern aristocrats entered a state of confused self-confidence.
Then Asha Cheng went back and wrote a copy of the entire Kushan troop allocation, as well as strategies, tactics, defense layout, etc., and sent it to Congling, preparing for the people in Congling to rush to send this latest news to Chang'an.
Chen Zhong did not believe at all that Kuishang could really attack Ailao County under such prepared circumstances. It was remarkable that Kuishang had a stronger foundation and experienced generals. After discovering the problem, he moved forward step by step.
But the Meng tribe was as deep as Ailao County. Even if the main force of the Han army was not there, it would be enough to drag the opponent to death. Chen Zhong really didn't believe how strong Guishang was.
"Two double-talented super-elite legions, and a legion suspected of having three talents or military souls are holding the battle. More than 70,000 Kushan soldiers have light armor. The Sudra dead soldiers are not included in the army. They are only equipped with short swords and spears.
About 110,000." Zhuge Liang looked at the secret report sent by Chen Zhong.
The content is so detailed that it even includes the interests and hobbies of the generals and deputy generals, the blessings of the gods and Buddhas used, what kind of power they have, and the approximate level of military preparedness...
Seeing such detailed information, Zhuge Liang didn't know what to say. There was always a sense that this stuff didn't look like information obtained by a spy, but like information pulled directly from the Kushan Military Staff. Well, in fact
It was Bishop Ashacheng who asked for a copy of the staff information.
"Just send it back. We don't want to get involved with the Kushan side in the near future. However, judging from the information sent, we need to be wary of the northern nobles of Kushan. We haven't caused any trouble to them, but they actually attacked us.
"Sima Yi said calmly.
Chen Gong and Lu Meng both nodded after hearing this. They really need to be on guard. Although judging from the information sent by Chen Zhong and others, there will be no movement among the nobles in the north of Guishuang recently, but once the south enters a state of war,
Regardless of victory or defeat, there will definitely be movement in northern Kushan.
Zhuge Liang really doesn't believe that Guishuang still doesn't know that the soldiers squatting here in Congling are Han troops, nor does he believe that the half-dead camel rider who fought with the Xiliang cavalry last time is the so-called bandit.
However, Kuishang must have been shocked last time, otherwise, there would never have been no response from Kushan until now.
To be precise, for such a long time, the empire's failure to respond to the sudden appearance of bases around it was itself the biggest problem.
"I read in the letter that Guishan has formed an alliance with Rome." Chen Gong suddenly asked. Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang nodded and said nothing. There is no way to stop this kind of thing now.
"We have also formed an alliance with Anxi." Lu Meng said slowly, "But, three of you, how binding do you think this alliance is on us and Anxi?"
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi couldn't help but frown when they heard this. In terms of results, both parties had indeed fulfilled the covenant between Anxi and the Han Dynasty quite well. However, I'm afraid both Vorogis and Zhuge Liang had estimated how much of it was true.
Xi'an's situation is that he cannot believe in the Han Dynasty, so he must believe in the sincerity of the Han Dynasty no matter what. As for the Han Dynasty, if it were not for the training ground and the need to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the three parties, the binding force of the covenant would be almost non-existent.
"So no matter how well-written the covenant is, when it has no substantial value to another ally, the execution of the covenant is just a matter of thinking about it. The covenant between Rome and Kushan has no impact on us."
Lu Meng said casually.
"Although we shouldn't think so morally, from a national level, morality is no match for the interests of the country." Zhuge Liang said rather helplessly. This was a very realistic realization after going abroad.
"I'm going to send this letter to Chang'an." Sima Yi reached for the pile of paper and said with a cautious expression, "When will the war for unification start, or how do you think the war for unification will start?
?”
"Do you mean to use this thing as a primer to directly expose this incident?" Zhuge Liang said with a slight frown.
Zhuge Liang cannot agree with this approach, or it should be said that such a simple expose is not good for Liu Bei's leadership to show strength. Even if the unification war is to be stopped in the end, Liu Bei's side must crush it with absolute strength and let Cao Cao
It ended when Sun was unable to resist.
If the thing currently in Sima Yi's hand is used as a rest, it will affect the judgment of many people in the future. Orthodoxy and morality are very important in this period when they occupy high positions.
When Liu Bei had an absolute advantage, he took the initiative and said that the people would be affected by cholera. The three parties stopped fighting. Cao and Sun had to stop due to the huge gap in strength.
There is a huge difference between Cao Sun and Cao Sun, who took the initiative to ask Liu Bei to stop fighting in order to avoid internal strife when they heard that foreign enemies were invading the Han Empire. The three parties joined forces.
