Masinde, who came from Beiguishan District, actually never thought that one day he would betray Kushan. Even though he made some very unfaithful operations when he was still young, at least when he was young, he did
I never thought that one day I would completely cut off all ties with the Kushan Empire.
However, everything happened in his youth, as time and people's hearts changed, Masinde eventually drifted away from the Kushan Empire. But even so, Masinde still didn't want to stab him when he left. For him,
After all, Guishuang was the place where he was born and raised, the hometown in his memories, and Fulward was also an old friend in his memories. Given the choice, he still tried to stay away from her as much as possible.
"Is it just for this day that you chose this opportunity from the very beginning?" As if he understood something, Fulward sat on the main seat and looked at Masinde quietly.
"Yes, I was willing to implement this plan in the first place just to do the last thing for Kushan and at the same time completely cut off my own shackles." Masinde didn't mean to hide it. Now that the matter is over, it's time for a showdown.
At that time, if Fulward pretended to be stupid, there might be a buffer for a while, but since Fulward asked, there was no need for Masinde to lie.
"Am I the step you are preparing to enter?" Fulward asked suppressing his anger.
Masinde shook his head, "You can't be like this. You also know my abilities. It doesn't matter whether I have advanced to the next level or not. As long as I am still me, there is nowhere I can go in this world."
Fulward was silent, and then looked at Masinde. He knew that Masinde was telling the truth. They all witnessed Masinde's ability more than 20 years ago, and the Tibetan area can now operate smoothly and support
Fulward's food and fodder logistics rely on Masinde. As long as this ability can be brought into play, in Fulward's view, Masinde is definitely the top existence.
It's a pity that Masinde fell because the opponent was too strong, so strong that it could really threaten the rule of the Dayue clan, so Masinde had to fall. The outcome was not just the calculation of Zhu Helai and others. Even at that time,
The noblest group of people at most looked sideways on this matter, while the majority of the Yuezhi nobles had to push for Masinde's downfall.
Who knows that Masinde is not a member of the royal family of the five great Yueshi clans, or even the Great Yueshi themselves? How can a mere conquered Sai race control such an ability?
"Fuwode, come with us. What will happen if you go back now? You should be very clear about the situation in the Kushan Empire." Assam looked at Fuwode and said.
If the current Fulward defected to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would definitely be willing to give the other party a respectable appearance, and a heavyweight general taking the lead would also be beneficial to the generals under his command, and he would not even lose the title of feudal lord, so after Masinde spoke
, Assam also spoke immediately.
"I know what Kushan is like." Fulward waved his hand and didn't even look at Assam. Even though he knew that Assam was a very good general, he stood next to Masinde.
Assam is nothing more than a guard.
"What price did the Han Dynasty offer you?" Fulward asked, staring at Masinde.
"It probably allows me to use my abilities at will. In fact, this is not important. The important thing is to find a suitable place to retire." Masinde thought for a while and said.
When Fulward heard this, he snorted coldly, "Masinde, if you follow me back to Kushan now, the Kushan Empire will also let you use your abilities at will."
Masinde laughed when he heard this, but he did not deny Fulward's words, because it was the truth. Why did he choose to exile him instead of directly executing him? In addition to Arvind's protective talisman, another point was that Kushan had a strong influence on Ma.
Cinder's abilities are still somewhat coveted.
To put it bluntly, when I was afraid of Masinde, it was because Masinde was only in his forties. Even if it was a waste of time to discover and cultivate him, twenty years later, Masinde would have enough talents to fill the world, and then shake up the country of Kushan.
, but now that Masinde is seventy years old, it doesn’t matter. He can live another twenty years. Well, even if he can live another twenty years, so what?
At this age, do you still think about overthrowing this country? It's impossible. Even if you wanted to, those generals, colleges and civil servants who were trained by you and were willing to follow you would not be willing. After all, the risks are too great and the benefits are too great.
Low, so during this period, Masinde could use his natural abilities at will, and this was the funniest thing in Fulward's opinion. Is this the price offered by the Han Dynasty?
"Masinde, do you definitely want to surrender to the Han Dynasty?" Fulward sat in the main seat and looked at Masinde. After the other party stopped laughing, he asked again.
"Well, not only me, but also Rangarajan, and even Kumara in the future." Masinde nodded, and Fulward's face became ugly at a visible speed. These three people were almost
He can be regarded as the most capable wise man in Beigui in the last era.
"Is Kushan so untrustworthy?" Fulward asked angrily.
"No, it's just that we think the Han Dynasty is more suitable for us to rest." Masinde replied softly, "At our age, we no longer have the ambitions we once had. Selian called me at that time, and I am willing to join him and the Han Dynasty.
Fighting was just because I owed a favor, and when Selian fell, this favor ended."
Fulward listened to Masinde's answer and recalled his experiences in the past few decades. In the end, even he had to admit that even if Masinde chose to join the Han Dynasty, Kushan people like him, who were not extremely radical, would
In the eyes of the general, it is understandable.
"You can't go to the northwest. Even if you use any means, you can't bring the elites you brought back to fight like before. If Bactra Mountain City is still there, you can still take a gamble, but now...
Masinde looked at Fulward calmly, "You should have become very familiar with the power of the Han Dynasty in the past few years. It maintains domestic stability while going to war."
"I can't possibly betray these men I brought here personally." Fulward said, shaking his head.
"Don't worry, they will be fine. There are no bodyguards from Fuwode's headquarters anymore. There are only remnants of the Han family." Masinde said calmly, "In the past few years, I have been traveling between Chang'an and Zangzhou from time to time.
Every time I go there, I will bring some key officers and generals with me, and by now everyone who needs to be persuaded has been convinced. Even if there is no explicit discussion, they have spontaneously connected together."
Masinde did not specifically block the information on Fulward, but General Kushan, who was gradually conquered by Masinde, spontaneously blocked the information on Fulward. This also meant that Fulward's eyes and ears gradually became ineffective.
reasons.
If Masinde plays Fulward by himself, there will inevitably be flaws. But when the backbone of the entire army spontaneously cooperates with Masinde to play Fulward, then how can Fulward see the flaws.
"I really failed." Fulward sighed.
"Let's go together." Masinde raised his hand and said to Fulward. Although he thought it was unlikely that Fulward would agree, he still had to try. Even if he was rejected, it would be okay.
"I refuse." Fulward said very formally, "Even if you and Assam team up to beat me to death here, I will not join the Han Dynasty."
"If you are willing to lead troops and surrender, at least you will be given the position of a prince, and maybe you can see the princess every day." Masinde poked Fu Ward's windpipe with Bei Gui's biggest obsession.
"What does the princess look like?" Fulward didn't answer and asked another question.
"It is a video recorded during the court meeting. It is an official document circulated by the Han Empire. It is used to let the people know the high-level officials of the country, understand the national policies, and avoid deception by the middle-level officials. But for you, it can be regarded as a way to meet the princess.
What kind of props?" Masinde was not surprised at all. Even if Fulward didn't surrender, it was normal for him to be obsessed with the princess.
While talking, Masinde walked over and handed the secret mirror to Fulward. This thing was actually the complete version of the images that Yin Luo distributed to Guishang.
This thing was originally produced to popularize the policies of the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty. Because of the Jizhou and Yanzhou cases, Chen Xi felt it was necessary to let the lower levels of the Han Dynasty know what the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty were doing and what policies they had issued.
, having such a thing can at least increase the cost of the middle-level deception and strengthen the country's governance capabilities.
It's just that this thing is just like the movie literacy that Chen Xi envisioned back then. Even though the thing is produced, there are still too few people who can easily play it.
But even if it is a small amount, as long as it exists and is still being promoted, Chen Xi will most likely still rely on this thing for subsequent literacy literacy. However, judging from the current optimization status of Tong Yuan, Nandou and others, it is estimated that it will take several years.
Just fine.
Fulward took the secret mirror, opened it, and looked at it. Looking at the image of Liu Tong raising his hands and feet on the throne, he felt a little disappointed. He had been in the Han Dynasty for so long, and the closest he was to Chang'an was only three to five days.
Due to the distance, we still didn’t see the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.
"Maxinde, let's part ways." Fulward quietly finished reading the secret mirror, and then said directly to Masinde. When he said this, his originally calm expression gradually changed as he spoke.
It became ferocious.
"If you leave now, who can you take with you?" Assam asked.
Fulward looked at Masinde. Even though Masinde had placed countless men in his army and even his personal guards were corrupted, it did not mean that everyone agreed with Masinde's plan. In the end,
To put it simply, Fulward believed that even if the generals and soldiers he brought out did have other ideas, apart from those who actually chose the Han Dynasty, there must be some who were waiting for his voice.
"Then you take away the generals and soldiers who are willing to follow you." Masinde said very calmly, "I will not force them to stay, nor will I specifically ask them to follow you. I just provide them with another option.
, only those who join willingly are our own.”
"I will even control them not to conflict with you." Masinde said softly, "But, Fulward, after you do this, there is no room for turning back, because you do it in front of everyone.
, Choosing a general from the Han Dynasty will give rise to a kind of shame, and this shame will cause you to be given a ride when you leave, but when you come back, you will be the enemy."
Fulward was silent for a while after hearing this, but he still made his choice decisively. However, before he spoke, Masinde interrupted what Fulward wanted to say.
"Don't speak now. There are only a few of us now, so we can still talk. Once it is announced to others, we will have no choice but to part ways. Fulward, I believe in your ability. As long as you speak, there will definitely be two thousand or three thousand, or even
Five thousand people are following you, but have you thought about how to go back?" Masinde looked at Fulward seriously.
"I have received your belief. You are still loyal to Vesutiva I. In this situation, you still chose the Kushan Empire. But Fulward, you need to think about it. If you can go back, how should others go back?
Masinde looked at Fulward and replied with great seriousness, "I won't stop you, but think carefully about why you brought these people back to Kushan."
Is it for his own loyalty, for his own dignity, or to prove that he still has this ability, or other possibilities, but no matter which one, Masinde said it so directly, he was just imagining the idea.
How to withdraw Fulward, you must fall into reality.
"If you think about it clearly, let your personal guards come to me. I won't stop you. After all, mortals in this world can only truly live if they can deal with things that even risk death." Masinde said.
Looking at Fulward, he spoke with great solemnity.
In Masinde's view, most people in this world actually don't know what they are doing all their lives, and as long as anyone has a career that is willing to risk their lives and burn it out, then at least
One day when I fall in the coffin, I can still smile.
Success or failure is only one aspect. Such a career can at least prove that you have visited the world and that you have truly lived.
Therefore, Fulward chose to join the Han Dynasty with him, and Masinde would be happy to help him solve all the difficulties, and then join the Han Dynasty honorably.
But if Fulward chooses Kushan, Masinde will also agree with his choice. After all, people must have the support of some obsessions to stand proudly in the world.
For Masinde, as long as Fulward does not impose his beliefs on himself and thinks that he is loyal to Kushan, Masinde must also be loyal to Kushan. Masinde is still willing to be with Fulward.
Communicate and end with dignity.
The former is a comrade-in-arms, the middle one is a shining faith, only the last one is a waste. I brought Assam here just to see what kind of choice Fulward will make. If it is the first two, everything is fine. If
It is the third type. Masinde will kill Fulward here.
It is true that Fulward is very powerful, but Assam is not a vegetarian. With Masinde's mental strength, he can kill the opponent directly with a high probability.
A good thing.
Although the choice that Fulward made was not what Masinde thought, everyone would join the Han Dynasty, but at least the choice that Fulward made was not a mistake.
"Masinde." Fulward sat in the main seat and watched Masinde leave. He knew very well that the other party was not talking nonsense. It is difficult for him to leave Tibetan areas with a large army. Today is different from the past. Whether he goes northwest or
It is impossible to leave by going to Yizhou or walking to the Himalayas.
The blockade of Northwest and Yizhou is destined to be impossible for even Fulward himself to lead the elite headquarters. After all, the scale of several thousand people is not small, and it is impossible not to leave traces, and as long as traces are left,
Regardless of whether it is the Yizhou Army or the Liangzhou Army, as long as they surround Fuwode, a mere 5,000 people, even if they are made of iron, will be beaten to pieces.
What's more, even if you break through the blockade of Xinzhou, you still have to face Wan Peng from Congling. That level is very difficult, even without San Sha sitting in charge, Wan Peng has tens of thousands of people and a large number of Qiang auxiliary troops.
It is also very difficult to deal with.
Even if Wanpeng was negligent and allowed Fulward to pass through, and did not send the Qiang people to pursue and harass him, Central Asia and Kandahar are also difficult to overcome, so there is basically no hope for the northwest, whether it is to go to Khotan or Khotan.
Shule, there won't be any difference.
As for walking to Yizhou, there is actually no difference in difficulty. After all, there are too many detours to go to Yizhou, and the uncertainty during the period is really too great. If you encounter the main force of the Han army on the road, you will have to fight.
With such a small amount of people, maybe even the gap between the teeth is not enough.
The only possible way to leave safely is to march all the way to Wenjia without encountering the Han army stationed in the rear. Then on the day of arrival, they encountered the warships arranged by Mengkangbu along the coast of Wenjia.
There is a saying, if you are really lucky and make an agreement with Meng Combo so that Meng Combo can appear there on time, it is indeed possible to leave this road.
But the current situation of Mengkangbu is that he is closely watched by the Han Dynasty. Once a large-scale dispatch is carried out, Kunwu State will quickly send intelligence to various places, and the coastal areas will be prepared, so it is basically impossible for Mengkangbu to exist.
Kambu arrived at the Bay of Bengal first to wait for this situation.
Therefore, taking the road from Yizhou to Zhongnan is really based on luck and is basically a route that cannot be chosen. In this case, the only option is to take the Himalayas.
In fact, the Himalayan road itself is the evacuation plan prepared by Fulward himself. The problem is that Fulward has already reached the boundary-breaking level by virtue of his Zenith enlightenment in the past few years. How could the mere snow cover of the Himalayas block it?
It's Ward.
But for the soldiers under Fulward's command, it was too difficult to take the Himalayan route.
When the Little Ice Age was not very serious, the Silk Road did have a passable gap on the Himalayas, which could lead directly to Daxia. This was also the trade road map that Wu Yuan gave to Chen Xi. But now, because of the Little Ice Age,
During the Ice Age, that road was completely covered with ice and snow.
Taking into account the thickness of the snow cover at the northern foot of the Himalayas, the extreme environment that must be faced when passing through the gap, and the high probability of avalanches, except for a few people under Fulward's command, there is no hope that anyone else can make it this far.
Just like after Guo Jia and Guan Yu made a surprise attack on Peshawar via the southern foothills of the Himalayas, they had planned to see if they could go to the Tibetan areas and directly raid the old waist of Kushan. However, they found that due to the impact of the Ice Age, the mountain roads that could have been walked were now directly buried in snow.
Except for the top immortal veterans who can force their way through, the regular army basically has no hope, and hundreds of immortal veterans will do this...
To be honest, Guo Jia would not gamble at all unless he was absolutely sure.
"Masinde is probably waiting for me to say that. Those thousands of people who are willing to believe me and follow my soldiers are my shackles." Fulward sighed and quickly figured out what Ma's thought was.
Xin De's intention was that he could go back no matter what if he didn't bring the soldiers, but he couldn't go back no matter what if he brought the soldiers.
But if Fulward just left this group of people here, what should I say? Before he said that sentence, Fulward could still do such a thing, but after he said that sentence, he truly realized
These people were waiting for his order and his choice. It was impossible for Fulward to leave this group of people here as if he didn't know anything.
After all, if he leaves behind his brother who is willing to follow him to hell, how can he lead others to the light? Fulward chose to have a showdown with Masinde just to save Kushan, his country, and his friends and subordinates, but
For this choice, he turned his back on his friends and subordinates. That would not be putting the cart before the horse.
This is why Masinde stopped talking after telling Fulward the facts and let Fulward think for himself - without these subordinates who are willing to fight for your ideals and beliefs, you might as well be
If you surrender to the Han Dynasty and take these subordinates who believe in you and firmly believe that you can lead them to create a future, you will definitely not be able to return to the Kushan Empire. Even if I don't take action, you will die on the way.
No, maybe you won't die, but your men will definitely die.
This is the predicament that Masinde casually set for Fulward, and it is also the last help for Fulward. For Masinde, as long as Fulward does not think of overriding his will, then
No matter what Fulward chooses, he will set up a difficult situation and give the other party the final help, because only under such a difficult situation, it is possible for Fulward to get out and realize his obsession and ideal Fulward.
Ward.
"It's very difficult, Fulward. You have chosen this path. This is the only help I can give you. This is the last help I can provide you before we break up peacefully." Masinde walked out of Shangxiong.
In the royal palace of the dynasty, I looked back and saw that Fulward could no longer be seen. As if Fulward was standing next to him, he softly stated his reasons.
If you can't even do such a thing, you can't even pass such a test, what can Fulward do when you return to Kushan? It's better to just die!
Go away, go away, those who have votes at the beginning of the month will vote.
