Chapter 0913 - Shadows Launched
22nd year of Yankang, March 28.
It is a day full of spring, but on this day, it is not a good thing for the Guishan Pan Bei army stationed in the Gaofu area, the Guishan army does not have a unified number, it is named after the commander, for example, the commander of this team is called Jiapanbei, so this army also has the name of Pan Beijun, they are one of the Guishan troops responsible for garrisoning Gaofu.
Their scale is not large, Gapanbei is just a small prince, not even a prince, he just owns a few villages, as the first family to surrender when the Kushan tribe fought in the Quartet, their family's status in the Kushan has never been high, the Kushan people do not look down on this notorious surrenderer family, they can't afford to raise wise men, they can't afford to raise dancers, and they are almost removed from the nobles.
Pan Beijun, now hiding in the Hindu Kush Mountain, this mountain has become a natural barrier against the Han Dynasty, only the Gaofu area, can let the army pass, therefore, most of the Guishan's troops are concentrated in the Gaofu area, they have not forgotten, decades ago in the humiliating battle, the king even died on the battlefield, which made the Guishan people extremely frightened.
For the Han Dynasty, they are also particularly jealous, the king ordered, many small nobles led the farmers to Gaofu, became the first barrier for Guishan to resist the Han Dynasty, however, this also made these small nobles dissatisfied, the king promised them money and materials, until now has not been delivered, fortunately, the general Nusha stationed in Gaofu is still a good general, otherwise, I am afraid that these people would have run away.
The same is true of Pan Bei's army, under the order of the general Nuxia, the town is guarded in the Gaofu area, but now, they can only hide in the mountains and forests, the army of the Han Dynasty wants to chase and kill them, and the army of Guishan also wants to hunt them down, and his face is calm, sitting in the dense forest, with his back against the trunk of the tree, as if waiting for something, and the dozens of soldiers who escaped with him are restless at the moment.
Ten days ago, the chief suddenly called them over and told them one thing, the leader was going to surrender to the Han, according to the leader, the Han had invited him several times, he did not want to continue to suffer here, the king also deceived them, none of the promised materials were delivered, he wanted to take people to the Han Dynasty to enjoy the blessings, and he did not ask the opinions of the people.
These people are his henchmen, many of them were raised by the family of Jiapanbei, there is no family, and there is no nostalgia, they naturally agreed, taking advantage of the opportunity to go out on patrol, Pan Bei fled to the Han with them, these people were still a little worried in their hearts, but they didn't expect that the generals of the Han Dynasty still respected them very much, and even feasted them.
However, while eating, the leader of his own family didn't know what crazy he was smoking, so he directly pulled out the dagger and stabbed the general of the Han Dynasty, and then fled with them.
They were at a loss, their minds were blank, why would the leader do such a thing?
What the hell is the picture?
At this moment, at the signal of everyone, the adjutant general slowly got up, walked to Pan Bei's side, and said, "General? β
Pan Bei, who was resting, opened his eyes vigilantly, looked at the adjutant general on the side, and then looked at the dozen or so soldiers in the distance, his face was full of disdain, "What, what's the matter with me?" β
"General... We don't understand why the general did this.. They have been kind to us, and the Lord himself will come to entertain us, so why should they assassinate us? The adjutant general frowned, and asked with some annoyance, they had not smelled meat in the high annexed city for half a year, and finally ate a good meal in the military camp of the Han Dynasty, and before they finished eating, the main general broke into such a catastrophe, and the hundreds of people brought with him, only some of them remained.
How can this make them not angry, if it weren't for Pan Bei's prestige is still high, I am afraid that he would have been subdued by everyone at this moment, but now, among everyone, it is inevitable that some people will want to tie him up, and then go to Dahan or Guishuang, anyway, there is no way out to follow him, Pan Bei has already seen the thoughts of these people, he is not nonsense, looked around, and said: "Hugh has to ask more, the people and horses I arranged are around here, and they will soon connect with us, you don't have to be afraid." β
Hearing Pan Bei's words, the deputy general immediately put away the dissatisfaction on his face, and asked with a smile: "It turns out that the main general has already made arrangements, so I won't ask more... I don't know what kind of dress this person is wearing when he comes to connect, but if our brothers see it, we can tell you. β
This guy still didn't believe that Pan Bei would leave his back hand, Pan Bei was about to speak again, but suddenly stopped, stood up, pricked up his ears to listen, everyone felt a little confused, but they also stood up one after another, looked around, the deputy general was also at a loss, what is the general looking for, except for birdsong, there is no other sound?
Wait a minute, birdsong?
The adjutant general's eyes widened, and he was thinking, and he saw a group of people around him instantly, they were all hanging with some branches, and their bodies were also painted green, in this dense forest, it was really difficult to find, after seeing this group of people, everyone was shocked, and quickly pulled out the long knife on his waist, Pan Bei stretched out his hand and ordered: "These are their own people!" Don't panic! β
Hearing his words, the adjutant general sighed secretly, thanks to the fact that he was not in a hurry to do it just now, sure enough, be cautious, in order to live longer, they were thinking, and a person walked out on the other side, looking at the appearance, it was from the Han Dynasty, Pan Bei smiled and stepped forward, and then said in fluent Yayan: "Yuan Zhizhi, everything is done, but General Zhang, he is okay?" After all, it's a real dagger..."
"Don't worry, you can't stab him, he's fine, just don't show up, this time, you did a good job, but, these people under you...", it turned out that the person who came to greet him was Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang looked at his subordinates, narrowed his eyes slightly, and Pan asked with a smile: "Is that to kill them?" Rest assured, they don't understand Yayan..."
"Forget it, this time, they have also made a contribution, our Han has never treated the heroes badly, so let's go back with them, but, in the past six months, they can't show up, you tell them...", Yuan Shang said, Pan Bei nodded, then looked at the people behind him, and asked, "Are you willing to live?" β
Everyone nodded one after another, and a few shook their heads, Guishuang was different from other places, whether they nodded or shook their heads, most of them represented yes, relying on their body movements, it was difficult for them to show no, probably because they had never said no to any outsiders, Pan Bei continued: "Since you want to live, then don't ask more, don't speak, close your mouth, follow this leader, and go back together!" β
These Guishan people were still a little hesitant, and Pan Bei was furious, "If you don't want to, I'm afraid that you will die here!" Hearing this, everyone hurriedly agreed, Yuan Shang asked these people to leave, the embroidered messengers were a little puzzled, and they didn't know why Yuan Shang wanted to take such trouble to protect a group of worthless Guishan soldiers.
After sending these people away, Yuan Shangfang took Pan Bei to the side and ordered: "During this time, it will be difficult for you, I will leave people to protect you, you will stay here, wait for a while, there is still one thing you need to do!" β
"Hmm... By the way, how is the war going now? Pan Bei asked with a frown.
Yuan Shang smiled, and then said: "Gaofu City has been captured...", hearing this, Pan Bei was not surprised, for this result, he saw it a long time ago, the villain in the court is in charge, and the superior is extremely mediocre, as a king, he sent the domestic nobles to Gaofu to garrison, but he refused to give even some rewards, and even seized the original villages of these nobles.
The territory that was said to be given to them was also arranged outside the high attached, who doesn't know that outside the high attachΓ© is the domain of the big man, isn't this a naked deception? The morale of the soldiers in the high annex is low, and even the soldiers starve to death, and the generals are disgruntled and angry, and even eighty percent have been bought by the Han Dynasty, how can such a military team not be defeated?
Therefore, Pan Bei, who had long seen Guishuang's situation, accepted the Han Dynasty's wooing with peace of mind, and even studied with the embroidered messenger for a short time, and was already regarded as a very senior son of the Han in Guishan, this time, he was also ordered by Yuan Shang, no, to be precise, he completed this plan according to the instructions of the Han Shangshu Order, so that Guishan was forced to go to war with the Han.
Pan Bei frowned and asked, "What about Nusha?" Did you catch him? β
The joy on Yuan Shang's face decreased slightly, shook his head, and said: "This guy is cunning, when he saw that the Han army was about to break the city, he fled with his cronies, and now he is cowering in the city of Shirostuo..."
"Alas...", Pan Bei sighed and didn't say anything more.
Gaofu City is an important arterial road connecting the north and south of Kushan, after the defeat of Guishan and the Han Dynasty, the pain of the pain, the strength of the country, the city to build a particularly strong fortress, as the only way to resist the attack of the Han Dynasty, here stationed more than 100,000 troops, and a large amount of food, materials, garrison ordnance, at the same time, by the empire's famous general Nu Xia to personally guard.
Of course, nearly 100,000 northern and southern armies, even if they attack the city day and night, it is absolutely impossible to capture this city in such a quick time, this is known as the strongest city in Kushan, which is destroyed inside, and the generals who were bought by the Han before triggered an infighting in the city, so that the northern and southern armies easily captured here.
The sudden attack of the Han Dynasty, the fall of Gaofu, and the death and capture of nearly 40,000 soldiers shocked the Kushan government and the opposition, and heard that their king was also so frightened that he fell off the back of the elephant and was almost killed.
The people in Guishan were panicked, but the Han army stationed in Gaofu really encountered the last resistance from this empire.
PS: I know that the war scenes I write are very scummy, and you don't want to watch them, so I try to describe the war situation from a macro perspective, so I won't write specifically.
