In troubled times, whoever has the bigger fist is right. Prasang recognized this reality early on. Although he was afraid of challenging the rules, as long as his strength was in place, there was really nothing he wouldn't dare to do.
"Although I don't know what happened, you probably don't stand entirely on the side of the Kushan Empire, but so what?" Prasang glanced at the Dalit behind him, and then looked at Khusroi
, he just came to test.
Prasang is very realistic, and he really doesn't care about Khosroi's behavior. The current situation is not good, and this guy's thinking is already biased toward self-preservation.
"Aren't you afraid that after my soldiers get what you said, they not only fail to fulfill their promises, but instead leave with these benefits?" Khusroi asked calmly while holding the juice. These words were not empty words, but very meaningful.
What might happen.
"That can only be considered unlucky for me." Prasang looked at Khusroi and said, "I am here to trade, and no one can guarantee that I will make money every time in trading, and I have no confidence to lose money.
, it’s best not to do this kind of thing.”
Khosroi was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."
Prasang was overjoyed. He had never thought that it would go so smoothly. Just like Khusroi thought that even if his previous behavior was reported, it would be impossible for Kushan to deal with the current situation directly. Although Prasang knew
Khosroi went to the Han army's camp, but he didn't use this as a trump card. He just came to test it, but he didn't expect it to go so well.
"You cannot force the soldiers under my command." Khusroi closed his eyes and said slowly. He knew that after this decision was made, the Dalits under his command took a different path.
Although Khusroi also knew that this was definitely not the best plan, Khusroi, who could not trust other people, could only hand over the right of choice to these Dalit brothers. Their choice may not be the best, but
At least it won't be the worst.
"I understand this." Prasang said sincerely.
After listening to this, Khusroy silently picked up the fermented juice in front of him, feeling very complicated. Even though he had prepared for this day early in the morning, when the day actually arrived, Khusroy's mentality
Still incredibly complex.
[Although I have been aware of it for a long time and agree with the choice of my brothers who are also Dalit, when this day actually comes, I will inevitably feel a little emotional, this road...] Khusroi drank it silently
Juice, he knows that starting from today, the road is open, but it may only be done by others to completely get Dalits out of this pit.
When Khosroi and Prasang were finalizing the details, Zhou Yu was only a little bit away from Qu Nu City, but at this time, time needed to go back slightly, to the point before Chen Xi left.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave today." Chen Xi said helplessly to Guan Yu and others, "I can't help on the battlefield anyway. The decisive battle will come next. It's a bit of a hindrance for me to stay here. I
Leave by yourself."
Guan Yu and others looked at Chen Xi with a little embarrassment. It was too much to say it so directly. We people are really worried about your safety!
"Okay, I know what you are thinking." Chen Xi said angrily. Even if these people didn't speak, he knew what they were thinking.
"I will withdraw with some of them first, and the front line will be handed over to you." Chen Xi said to Guan Yu and others, "Zhou Gongjin should be here in the next two days. How to fight then will be your business. I wish you all the best."
You all are ready to win."
"Before you set off, I will send a message to Brahasi and Huashi City, and then send a message to Chang'an to let them prepare to send people to greet you. Be careful on the road, although there may be some infiltration from the rear at most.
I'm a thief in the past, but you still have to be careful." Liu Bei said very sincerely, "Protect yourself."
Although Liu Bei was the first to suggest that Chen Xi return to Chang'an, when Chen Xi was about to leave, Liu Bei was somewhat worried. In his opinion, if Chen Xi really wanted to go back, the best choice would be to accompany the army.
The safest.
"Okay, don't worry, nothing will happen. Just a few thieves can't defeat those elite guards no matter what." Chen Xi said confidently, "Even if we really meet an opponent, Bai Mayi
It didn’t take too long to receive the letter.”
Chen Xi is still very confident about the configuration of his subordinates. When he leaves, he will inevitably take more than two thousand veterans with him. These are the elites who have been protecting Chen Xi. With these people around, no problem will arise no matter what happens.
.
"Well, be careful on the road." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said with some regret, "And after returning to Chang'an, don't run around. Kong Ming seems to be unable to handle all the affairs in the Central Plains. You
After you go back, take over as soon as possible, don't watch Kong Ming deal with it, and then you stick your head over and say it's a favor."
Chen Xi laughed twice and explained repeatedly how he could do such a thing. Liu Bei just sneered at this. Chen Xi might not be able to do other things, but Chen Xi can do this.
"Then I'll leave." Chen Xi suppressed his smile and said to Liu Bei and others. The others personally sent Chen Xi out of the camp. This scene fell in the eyes of many Kushan scouts, who then wanted to intercept and kill them, but
But all returned in vain.
In the past, Kushan was able to infiltrate on a large scale, largely due to Fazheng's laissez-faire, but now that Chen Xi is leaving, the benefits of suppressing the local area will not be as important as Chen Xi's safety. Therefore, Fazheng decisively attacked from all directions.
The penetration of Kushan is blocked.
Although this blockade cannot completely solve the problem of Kushan infiltration, the infiltration scale of thousands of people like before is completely a dream. To be realistic, a few hundred people or thousands of people is the limit. The problem is that
What use is this person to an opponent like Chen Xi?
The veterans who protect Chen Xi are all carefully selected, and each one is armed like a battle fortress. There are two thousand elites, and they are also matched with a supply team composed of more than five thousand horses. How do you fight this?
On the third day after Chen Xi's departure, Zhou Yu arrived at the upper reaches of the Ganges west of Baloyaga and quickly contacted the main force of the Han army. The previously prepared plan was successfully advanced to the final stage, and Guan Yu and Zhou Yu had almost no redundancy.
After communicating with each other, he launched another attack on Kuishang. This time, Guan Yu still failed to capture Kuishang's front, but Guan Yu delayed it for two days.
When Guan Yu retreated, Altay received news that all the warships they used to defend the Han army from waterway sneak attacks in the upper reaches of the Ganges River had been destroyed.
Because it was directly shot away by Zhou Yu with naval guns, apart from the scattered fleeing navy, the main force of the Kushan navy on the Ganges was finished. In addition, Fazheng had been keeping an eye on the Kushan navy to make a difference.
On the day of the melee, Fazheng used almost all veterans who were good at maneuvering to cooperate with Baima Yicong, completely cutting off the intelligence connection between the Kushan Navy and Altay.
Although a pure disconnection is not safe, if there is no intelligence contact between the two sides for half a day, Altay will take the initiative to send investigators to investigate. When there is still no news two hours after the investigators are dispatched, any fool will know that something happened.
The problem is that the Han army and the Kushan army were engaged in a deep strangulation battle at that time. Even if Altay found that the intelligence line was broken, he was unable to send people to penetrate it and confirm it. He could only deal with the current affairs first. As a result, two days passed after such a delay.
The Han army was exhausted and retreated first. Only then did Altay have time to determine what happened to the navy.
However, there are some things that by the time you know them, it's already too late.
"What?" Altena had not rested for two days and two nights, and his wrinkled cheeks showed what it meant to be furious at this moment!
"Zhou Gongjin led the fleet through, and the leading ship is probably HNA's flagship!" The investigators gritted their teeth and reported the intelligence they compiled to Altay.
"How is this possible!" Altay said in disbelief, but it is meaningless if it is impossible. Once anything impossible happens on the battlefield, it means that the war has reached the final stage, and Zhou Yu led the fleet in retrograde,
It's self-evident what that means.
"Inform all generals and colleges to assemble!" Altay ordered decisively. He had already realized that the situation was not good, but no matter how bad it was, he must not panic.
Soon all the generals gathered together, and after two fierce battles, the Kushan generals held on to the central camp. At this time, they were in pretty good condition.
Soon Vesutiva I was also invited over. Seeing such a neat staff, Zhu Helai and others even thought that Altay was going to launch a major counterattack, and they couldn't help but look excited.
"I'm afraid Zhou Yu has arrived at Qunv City." After everyone arrived, Altay didn't say a word, pointed directly at the location of Qunv City and said, while Vesutiva I, who had just sipped tea, sprayed out a sip of tea.
Come out, what are you talking about.
Altay quickly informed everyone of all the information, and everyone was numb. Was Guan Yu's previous attack so powerful a feint?
"The current situation is like this, we cannot retreat." Altay looked at everyone present and said, "After two days of fighting, we and the Han army are in a state of exhaustion. Once we retreat, the Han army will chase after us. These thirty
Ten thousand people will collapse on the spot."
Without retreating, with camp protection and three lines of defense that have been tested, all Kushan soldiers have the courage to fight the Han army again, because the previous battles have proven that although the Han army is strong, as long as they obey the command and block the
The other party's problem is not big.
But if Kuishang retreats directly, then the Han army attacks and kills Kuishang, and it is possible that Kuishang will collapse directly. Field battles and positional battles are completely different things.
"We must save Qunu City, His Highness is still there!" Before Altay finished speaking, someone from Beigui's side had already stepped forward.
Just as the Han Dynasty estimated, Zhou Yu's current situation, no matter how others say not to be afraid, when the opponent actually goes to the battlefield, all self-aware generals will stare at Zhou Yu. Power is never a boast.
It was achieved through combat effectiveness. Zhou Yu's record was really too ruthless.
Therefore, when Zhou Yu led the fleet to attack Qunv City, even if everyone in Guishang had absolute confidence in the walls of Qunv City, they did not dare to say that they could hold it in the face of Zhou Yu. To sum up, just one sentence
By the way - that's Zhou Yu!
"I never said not to save. The problem is how to save. To save, we need to divide our troops, and dividing our troops will cause a lot of problems." Altay did not make it clear in his words, but he needed to make his generals realize how difficult this matter is.
.
In fact, from the perspective of an old man who has experienced the world, not saving is also an answer, but Altay cannot accept this answer.
Even if you look at the problem from the rational point of view of a large army commander, not saving is the most correct answer, because Liu Hao has solved most of their internal problems before. Now that they are gone, they are gone. Give up one person and save him.
More people are the right choice.
But from Beigui's point of view, this was an unacceptable reality. In the end, Altay's sensibility overcame his rationality.
However, at this time, if someone with an important position could speak out and say that he would not save her, then the possibility of giving up the rescue would not be small, but no one present who was qualified to speak out spoke up.
Even if Vesuthiva I was a purely political creature, she realized that Liu Hao's political value had come to an end at this stage. It was best to marry him, but not to marry him. Guishan, which had completed internal integration with Liu Hao, would not be divided.
The pain is not fatal at most, and I can't say it myself that I won't save him, because if he did, it would be too cold.
Therefore, Vesutiva I looked at Zhu Helai, hoping that Zhu Helai would make up his mind and come up with a plan, but Zhu Helai thought for a moment and chose to save her.
Even if Zhu Helai wished that Liu Hao would die immediately, considering the actual situation, he still had to save Liu Hao. If he dared not to save Liu Hao, then he would have to die regardless of whether Liu Hao was alive or dead. This was not true at all.
Wiggle room for choice.
Zhu He vaguely realized that this was a game, a game set by the Han Dynasty for him, but he had no choice in this game and could only choose to save. If he didn't save, he would die.
Although the Guishang family has a great cause and there is no possibility that the country will not be able to function if no one is gone, Zhu Helai at least knows that he is more valuable to the Kushans alive than dead.
If you have to choose between Liu Hao's life and his life, at this time, Zhu He will choose himself. After all, Liu Hao has completed his political value at this stage. Although there is still value in the future, it is far less than before.
It's important.
So this time Zhu Helai had no choice but to save Liu Hao. If he didn't, he might die.
When Vesudev I heard Zhu Helai's words, there was no change on his face, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart. If possible, he hoped that Zhu He would come to his rescue.
