Chapter 1245: A small state is like a cow's hair
"I am Gandhara's king Janaduta, and you cannot treat such a revered king!"
The princely chieftain who seemed to be confused and confident finally became inward-looking, Qin Jin didn't intend to talk to him at all, this person was now a caged bird, and the next thing he needed to do was to let him see how the Shenwu army destroyed the Gandhara kingdom in his mouth, and he could achieve the goal of sobering him up.
The two Tocharians threw Janadua out and put him in a large prison behind the palace, where he had once held prisoners, but now he himself was a prisoner in this cell.
"You can't do this to me, the great Allah will bring the cruelest punishment in the world......"
The voice of the shouting became farther and farther away, and Wu Hu Huaizhong took a sip and scolded:
"This bird is Allah with its mouth closed and closed, but it still uses the name of a Buddhist monk, it is really funny!"
Qin Jin did not know much about these religions, and he only felt that it was a very "Tianzhu" name from the pronunciation of Janaduta, in fact, most of the names of this style came from Sanskrit, and most of them were used by Buddhist monks.
"I have seen the name of the Gandhara kingdom in the official pilgrimage documents archived by the Ministry of Rites, and it is not the messenger of this princely state who traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an?"
Qin Jin suddenly remembered the joke of the later generations about the extraterritorial states going to the Heavenly Empire to deceive rewards, even cats and dogs, as long as they came to the capital of the Celestial Empire, they could exchange a lot of rewards in the name of worshipping the emperor.
Think about it, in order to create a prosperous scene of all countries coming to the dynasty, Tang Xuanzong may not have done this whitewashing.
Wuhu Huaizhong had a subordinate beside him who was well aware of the various allusions to Tocharo's homeland, and explained to Qin Jin in detail some of the things he knew.
It turned out that the Gandhara kingdom did have its own state, and it was a large country with a very large land, but unfortunately it had declined a few decades ago, and now its former territory has been annexed by the Kabitian state.
That is to say, at this time, one of the large countries in the "Tianzhu region" was called the Kabi trial country.
"Kabi test country?"
It was the first time Qin Jin had heard this name.
"So are the cities of Fulousha and Huwen within the borders of the kingdom of Kabiza?"
In the world of the Qin and Jin dynasties, Fulousha was Peshawar in Pakistan, and the target they were about to attack, Huwen City, was Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
Both of these are the key to the Hindu Kush and are strategically located.
"The kingdom of Capitan is now in decline, and many of the princely states in southern Tocharian are still nominally its domains, but each of them has become de facto independent kingdoms, and the territory controlled by Capithan is only a few dozen miles away from Capithan. ”
Obviously, Wuhu Huaizhong's subordinates have done a lot of understanding, and they are also very good at talking about the stories of the countries here.
Qin Jin nodded understandingly, no wonder he hadn't heard of this big country that had replaced the Gandhara Kingdom when he was in Anxi, and it had become a small court of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that was not valued by the princes.
Moreover, Gandhara has been established in the southern part of Tocharian for hundreds of years, so many small princely states have claimed to be descendants of the Gandhara royal family, and they all regard themselves as orthodox in the Gandhara lineage. Including this Gana Diga who has taken refuge in the Great Food Sect.
"How many princely states are there in this country of Kabithe?"
Qin Jin couldn't help but ask.
The subordinate general beside Wuhu Huaizhong shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know that some of the princely states that were smaller than the territory of Yannadua were independent kingdoms, if even this was counted
The reason why he knew the history of the countries here was mostly because he had been in exile in Tocharian for more than ten years, worked as a guard for merchants, and once took refuge in horse thieves, but none of them lasted long, until he heard that the warriors of Tiele and Luo were recruiting Tiele people in the river, so he did not hesitate to rush to take refuge.
"Tell me, can we destroy a hundred kingdoms in one battle?"
Wuhu Huaizhong was still thinking about the joke of destroying a hundred countries, and Jia Gruse touched the back of his head and said:
"Not to mention destroying a hundred countries, even destroying a thousand countries may not be impossible...... From here to the south to the Tianzhu country, ten miles and twenty miles is the land of a state, and the Tianzhu country encompasses thousands of miles, and it is not surprising that there are tens of thousands of countries......"
These words made Qin Jin take a breath.
If you meet a city, you will be a country, and if you meet a village, you will be a state, which is really a strange thing in the world. It is no wonder that India, known as an ancient civilization, has been a geographical concept for a long time, and there are almost no unified dynasties.
Over the course of its long history, India has emerged in the world most of its time as a conquered person.
Come to think of it, it would not be surprising if it was all in such a state of the Kabi test country.
The five thousand iron horsemen of the Tongluo Department can almost sweep the entire South Asian subcontinent!
At this point, Qin Jin relieved himself and decided to turn this southward expedition with the goal of patrolling into a direct attack on Huwen City.
Ku Si Lao looked at the Ipraxin beside him, and his heart was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, he didn't understand why the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty let this person be his deputy.
Although the military power is in his own hands, this person is wearing the hat of the protection of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to touch him easily.
Iprahim, of course, knew his awkward situation, and was always on pins and needles on horseback, but in order to live, and to live more brilliantly than ever, this embarrassment and inexplicable humiliation had to endure.
After seeing the divine might of the Shenwu Army, Ipraxin has accepted the reality of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and all that is needed at this time is to gain a firm foothold first, and then see the opportunity to make a few great achievements to win the trust and reuse of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the heavy snow blocking the mountains, the Tang people did not take the initiative to attack Da Shi to the west, but went south to the south, where the climate was mild and suitable, which was exactly what they wanted, and if they did not fight with their former comrades, they would have a lot less scruples.
Moreover, the southern part of Tocharian and the Tianzhu region are small countries like fireflies, which is almost equivalent to picking up credit for nothing. Therefore, he was patient, and even risked a certain degree of danger to urge Ku Silao to speed up his march, and strive to dare to get ahead of Qin Jin's guards, so that he could have merit, otherwise there would only be soup left.
Kusi was bluffing, and he was full of anger when he saw Iplasin's face, but he was helpless, because Iplasin was right, marching quickly was their best choice, if they kept following the Shenwu Army, let alone drinking soup, they might not even be able to leave some soup residue.
"There are hundreds of thousands of people in the country of Brahmana, and it is a large princely state in the south of Tocharo, and the general can take this as the first goal!"
Ipraxin repeatedly emphasized the first skill, which made Ku Si Lao even more uncomfortable, he did make such a plan, but let the big stupid donkey around him say it first, even if he won a big victory in the future, he would have to take it as the first credit in the mouth of outsiders!
