Chapter 691: In the River - Broken Leaves 3
Republic May 20, 1796
The capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, broken leaves.
"The messenger of Pars?" Prince Xu Daixuan asked in surprise: "Send an envoy at this time?" ”
"He's talking about, the orthodox Emperor Pars."
Zuo Helin corrected:
"He's not from River, he's not an emissary, he's an enemy of the Pars army in Riverside."
"The orthodox Emperor of Pars?" Xu Daixuan was a little confused: "What the hell is going on?" ”
The matter is actually very simple, when the two armies were about to fight, a Pars man extended an olive branch to the king of Qin.
But he did not come on behalf of Volodyasis III, but on behalf of himself - he proclaimed himself the true emperor of Pars.......
That is, he was a rebel against the Parsians, a Pala. It's just that he thinks that the current emperor of Pars is a rebel.
The man, who claimed to be named Himesis, was the only biological son of the previous emperor of Pars, the rightful crown prince and heir to the throne, and Volodyasis III was his uncle.
It's just that 16 years ago, Volodyasis III assassinated Himesis's father, and even caused a fire in the palace to burn Himesis, and he escaped under the protection of several loyal ministers, but half of his face was burned.
Since then, Himesis has been able to wear a mask made of silver all day long to cover his ugly scars.
Regardless of whether this person's background is true or not, his hatred for Volodyasis III is indeed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, he claimed that he had a large number of supporters in the Pars army, and was willing to help the Qin army destroy Volodyasis III and his army.
In exchange, the Qin army should then support him in regaining the throne of Pars.
"Leaving aside what his identity is, does he have a way to prove that he does have a large number of supporters?" King Qin asked curiously: "If you want the white wolf with empty gloves, then instead of us losing face in the future, it is better to kill him now." If he can really bring us benefits, it is not impossible for this king to support him. ”
Anyway, the Qin State currently has no plan to destroy Pars, and it is a good idea to support another king to come out and split Pars, as long as this Simesis can afford it.
"He said that there was a 10,000-cavalry commander in the Pars army who was his supporter, and that 10,000-cavalry commander could cooperate with us in sending the Pars army into our trap when the war began."
Zuo Helin replied:
"As proof, he is willing to provide specific information on the Pars Army."
"Tell me about it."
Xu Daixuan has never known much about the specific situation of the Pars army, only knowing that they claim to be an army of 200,000.
If this person can really inform the specific situation of the Pars Army, it will help Xu Daixuan solve a big problem.
"It is said that there are 70,000 cavalry, and the actual number of 130,000 infantry is 200,000."
Zuo Helin replied:
"The logistics of the Pars Army relied on slave transport, and it was expected that there would be about the same number of slaves with the army."
"That is, the enemy is not 200,000, but 400,000?" Xu Daixuan was surprised and said, "Supply 400,000 horses here?" Are the Pars so wealthy? ”
"Of course not, they probably want to win in one fell swoop with their superiority in strength and then return quickly." Zuo Helin explained: "The Pars still have a difficult opponent in the west, and they can't afford to delay on our side for too long. ”
"Hehe, it's an idiot."
Supporting an army of 400,000 in a region like Central Asia, where there is too much desert terrain, as long as it drags on a little longer, their own logistics will be enough to drag them down.
"This is important information, does the king want to meet him?"
"Let's wait until we're sure the news is true."
Xu Daixuan didn't want to see that Simesis very much, because with or without him, the Qin army could win, and if he was in a hurry to see him now, it would make him have the illusion that he was very important.
"Let him dry for a few days, there are some things to make him understand, the position of King Pars, I am willing to give it to him, if I don't give it, then he will have to continue to lie on his stomach and wait."
If you want the position of King Pars, you have to show more tangible merits.
……
Just when the great war to decide the hegemony of Central Asia was about to break out, the last king of the steppe, Gulhan Zamuhe, was immersed in alcohol and could not extricate himself.
As the Khan who once commanded all the Mughal herdsmen, Zamuhe has now lost all ambition and ability, and is so decadent that he has very little time to wake up every day.
This was definitely not the case in the past.
After he unified the Mengwu grassland with the help of the strength of the Shanxi and Han armies, his cavalry once numbered hundreds of thousands, and at that time, the high-spirited Gulhan also thought of defeating the Jurchens, annexing the Han land, and establishing a super empire belonging to the Mughu.
However, the reality slapped him a few times - first attacked the Jin State that was suppressed by the Chinese army, but was beaten by a fat beating, losing a large number of soldiers and horses, not to mention, Horqin in Modong also suffered the heaviest losses because of the Jurchens, and first began to centrifuge from Germany.
Later, because the herdsmen habitually entered the Han land to plunder, the Chinese army swept the north for the first time, and the core force of Zamuhe, Chahar Mengwu, suffered heavy losses.
Next, Huaxia annexed Shanxi, and Zamuhe lost the support of Shanxi Shihou.
Next, the Chinese army destroyed the Jurchen Dajin regime, and Zamuhe didn't even stop the remnants of the Yan family's westward migration - the result was that the Khalkha Mengwu in Mobei, who suffered heavy losses, also began to choose a new master to take refuge.
Later, Zamuhe also realized that Huaxia was the most dangerous enemy, but the Jurchens, the Dang Xiangren, the Great Zhou in the south, and himself all wanted to form a joint encirclement network against Huaxia.
However, this encirclement network was not built for various reasons.
To sum up, it is basically that Huaxia can bring great economic benefits to everyone - for example, his own wool, sheepskin, cattle, sheep, horses and other specialties can be sold to Huaxia in large quantities in exchange for important materials such as tea, salt and iron products.
In fact, others have the same idea, everyone wants to restrict China by force, but they still have to make a big deal economically, how can this kind of encirclement network succeed?
Now, Goryeo has become a vassal state of China, and the Japanese who once harassed the coast of China have perished because of the demise of Fuso.
The Jurchens have long been finished, the party members have also ended, and the Great Zhou is gone.
The Huaxia people were able to free up their hands to one-on-one with Zamuhe, but at this time, Zamuhe did not even have half the strength of his heyday.
Horqin chose to take refuge in China because of his defeat to the Jurchens.
Khalkha also chose to take refuge in China because of his defeat to the Jurchens.
Because of the death of the party, the Chinese army entered the Western Regions, and they wanted to make a fortune with it, so they finally switched to China.
Just the combination of these three Mugultures is not an opponent that Zamuhe can deal with, plus the remnants of the Jurchens, well, now called Sauron.
There are also Chinese people themselves .......
Hehe, what else is this fighting?
