Volume 1 A Hundred Battles and Yellow Sand Wear Gold Armor Chapter 61 The Temptations of Wang Junlin
When Wang Junlin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he pretended to be stunned on his face, he thought that this was a temptation by King Potofa.
King Bodo sneered and said, "Now it seems that the person who assassinated that fool of Kurunubi is naturally you, and six days ago, the 2,500 Sui troops in the Sui Dynasty mission have been under our surveillance, so I have been curious about who poisoned the forage of the Wangting tribe and the water source of the Ashina tribe that night, presumably these people are the ambush soldiers you brought from Gaotai City!" ”
Wang Junlin's face changed drastically, and his heart sank to the bottom, since King Potor had already expected the existence of such a team, how could he not be guarded. Or rather, he was a decoy himself, and King Hata wanted to destroy the five hundred special forces he had worked so hard to train.
Thinking of this, Wang Junlin suddenly stretched his head out of the car window, and a rough iron whistle appeared in his mouth at some point, and he blew it with all his strength, the rhythm was fast and slow, this was an order to retreat immediately, the voice was sharp and penetrating, even in the wind and sand, it still clearly reached the ears of every Sui army. In the past six months, they have heard this whistle many times, and it has even become an instinctive reflex, so they did not hesitate to hide in the wind and sand and run away with all their might.
Almost as they fled, thousands of cavalry rushed from the direction of Gaochang City in front.
"Although I am in the Western Regions, I also know that many officials of the Sui Dynasty say that your credit comes from your ruthlessness, and many people say that you can't train soldiers, and your ability to lead troops to fight is also very ordinary. Now it seems that your use of poison may be secondary, but your real skill is above military training. I've been planning to have a Cult of Protectors up to a trooper, and I might be able to give it to you. King Portophax never stopped King's Landing from blowing the whistle, and his greatest interest now seemed to be on King's Landing.
Wang Junlin is too lazy to speak now, his loyal subordinates have been exposed, King Bodo will inevitably take precautions, this is too difficult to save himself on the territory of the Turks, and now he may only be able to save him by his cheap master Chang Kuzi, but although Chang Kuzi is powerful, but there is a Bodo King who is not weaker than Chang Kuzi by his side, and there are thousands of Turkic cavalry, Chang Kuzi really has a chance to save himself?
However, Wang Junlin now faintly saw the thoughts of King Bodo, the life and death of the Turks and the life or death of his 500 subordinates, King Bodo didn't care at all, all he cared about was to let more people become followers of Nestorian Christianity.
Therefore, when the wind stopped, King Pota personally got out of the carriage and recited the scriptures to the dead Turkic commander, because this commander was a fanatic believer and was the real henchman of King Potato, he was just drilled out of the sand by Wu San, who had been planning for a long time, and was directly assassinated, and his entire head was cut off by Wu San's knife, and the Turkic cavalry found his head and put it together with the corpse, and a Turkic cavalry was cutting the belly of the thousand-commander's mount, and the war horse itself was seriously injured, After the Turkic cavalry had hollowed out all the internal organs of the horse, they loaded the body of the commander into it and buried it on the spot.
"Life is as short as a meteor, as fragile as a mayfly, only the brilliance of my religion can be eternal, and only by believing in the teachings of His Holiness Tianzun can we enter Paradise and be reborn after death......
King Porto celebrated the shortness and fragility of life with a unique rhythm, telling the greatness and eternity of Nestorianism, and all the Turkic cavalry looked solemn and yearning.
……
……
No matter where he went, King Portopha always had books by his side, and even when he was chasing down Master Sodaji himself, there were still two horseless horses dragging the books he wanted to read.
In addition to the teachings of Nestorianism, Wang Junlin actually found that there were some books on mathematics and medicine in them, especially one of them called "Geometric Originals", which surprised Wang Junlin even more.
As we all know, "Geometry Original" is a mathematical work written by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, which is the foundation of European mathematics and the earliest work on perspective, conic curves, spherical geometry and number theory. Euclid used axiomatic methods to become a model for the establishment of any system of knowledge, and for three thousand years since its appearance, it has been held up as an example of the rigorous thinking that must be observed. Moreover, this work is the basis of Euclidean geometry, and is the most widely circulated book in the West after the Bible.
Therefore, when Wang Junlin remembered that Nestorianism originated in Europe, he was no longer surprised that this book appeared in the hands of King Porto.
Wang Junlin actually studied very well in later life, except for English, the grades in other classes belonged to the top good students. Therefore, he took the geometric knowledge of later generations to read this "Geometric Original" again, and the learning progress was naturally very fast.
Therefore, when King Wanglin and King Hado began to discuss the problems of conic curves and spherical geometry in the book, King Hado was taken aback by the learning ability or understanding shown by King King's Lin.
For this reason, King Bodo stared at Wang Junlin for a long time, and his expression was extremely complicated. Especially when he discussed these two issues with Wang Junlin, which gave him a clearer understanding of conic curves and spherical geometry, he couldn't say a word when he looked at Wang Junlin.
His Holiness Hata was chosen from millions of people by the previous Venerable Holiness, and since he was a child, he has shown extraordinary wisdom and understanding, and his ability to learn is unparalleled. However, he studied the mathematical and geometric problems all his life, although it only took a small part of the day, but he never understood the problems, but Wang Junlin took half a day to understand them, and it seemed to be more transparent than what was said in the classic book "Geometric Originals". This made King Porto's love very embarrassing.
As a result, when King Porto looked at Wang Jun again, there was a strange pampering in his eyes. Of course, Wang Junlin knew that this kind of pampering would make King Podo not let him go, but he could tolerate him more, such as finding out that he had not really become a Nestorian follower for a long time, and still be patient enough with him not to kill him. In Wang Junlin's view, as long as he lives, he has a chance to escape.
His Holiness felt that the presence of King's Landing and the presence of King's Landing in his own hands were all guided by His Holiness the Heavenly Venerable, and in short, he increasingly felt that King's Landing was the most suitable person for the next Venerable King.
His Holiness has always believed that any knowledge needs to be accumulated and precipitated, and that there is no one in this world who is born to know.
Even if Wang Junlin is very good at a certain aspect, it is just the product of a flash of inspiration.
He had seen too many prodigies, but he preferred to become a knowledgeable person after hard study rather than supernatural powers.
And as his understanding of Wang Junlin deepened, he found that Wang Junlin was the best choice in terms of change, decisiveness, courage, forbearance, memory, comprehension, and other characteristics that His Holiness needed most, and in addition to this, he also found that Wang Junlin seemed to be different from everyone he had ever met. It's just that he didn't see this difference clearly, and it wasn't until Wang Junlin showed an amazing talent for esoteric knowledge such as the "Geometric Original" that he faintly discovered that there really seemed to be people who were born to know, and this judgment gave him a great shock.
……
……
Compared with the Central Plains, the Western Regions are vast and uninhabited, and even if Gaochang City belongs to the Western Turk's sphere of influence, it takes seven or eight days to travel from the Western Turkic royal court to Gaochang City.
Of course, it was not a random idea for King Boduo to go to Gaochang City, and this was in itself a plan for the Khan to send troops to the Ashina tribe at the same time. There was news early on that the three sides of the battle between Tongyehu Khan, Ashina and Kurunubi were all defeated and suffered heavy losses, and the three sides together killed no less than 100,000 people and horses.
Now that the three parties have temporarily ceased fighting and recuperated, and although they already know that it is the Sui people who are stirring up, this cannot dissolve the hatred that has been formed between them.
In addition to their traditional income from cattle, sheep and horses, the taxes brought by the three important cities in the Western Regions and more than 20 important towns under their jurisdiction are now also a very important source of income for them.
The most important of these were the cities of Gaochang under the control of the Khan of Tongyehu and King Potofa, while the other two cities were under the hands of Ashina and Kurunubi respectively. In the Great War of the Headquarters, when the Khan of Tongye Hu suffered a lot of losses, King Hata Hado had to come and lie down in person to ensure that Gaochang City remained under the control of the royal court.
……
……
After the dusty weather, some sweat will make the body dirty and uncomfortable, Wang Junlin can even rub a dirt pill out of his hand, and then throw it to the Turkic cavalry, saying that this is a poison that can poison hundreds of people, and the Turkic cavalry will carefully put it away like a treasure.
For this kind of deceptive little trick, King Hata naturally ignored it. But in reality, this is just one of many temptations of King's Landing.
Wang Junlin finally couldn't stand the filth on his body, but there was no water source nearby, so he was ready to use a method that he had mastered in later generations - sand baths to solve this uncomfortable problem.
Under the curious gaze of King Portophaus and the Turkic cavalry, Wang Junlin began to fry the sand in an iron pot, and in a short time, there was a pile of hot sand in the tent.
Then, Wang Junlin stripped naked and quickly rubbed the hot sand back and forth on his body. It was very comfortable to do this, with very little water washed hot sand, ironing the skin, and after a while Wang Junlin was red and steaming, but except for the sand in his hair, the dirt on his body had been washed away.
When Wang Junlin put on his clean clothes again, he felt that his whole body seemed to be a little lighter, and the kind of comfort revealed in his expression made the Turkic cavalry envious one by one.
