Chapter 232: The Wind is Fierce

Biqiu Jian deliberately flaunted his martial arts, and a big knife was picked up like a wheel, and he was invincible. Xu Yi saw it from afar and shouted: "Good man, you brother, I have made up my mind." ”

Xu Yi praised in his mouth, stepped up in his hand, and a big knife, opened and closed, killing Yuan Xiang only with the power to parry. At this time, the crossbow had already sent Boss Wu, Boss Shen and others to the West Heaven, and Yuan Xiang saw that his hands and feet were weak, and he was busy in his heart. Xu Yi flew away with a cold kick, and was kicking Yuan Xiang's right calf, only to hear a "click", the leg bone was broken, Yuan Xiang snorted and fell to the ground. Xu Yi rounded the knife and slashed at Yuan Xiang's neck.

Yuan Xiang died, and there was a farce directed by him and Xu Fu, which was also considered to be the end.

Liu Ze came to the Western Regions, and Zhuge Liang and Zhang Ren led the men and horses out of Chigu City three hundred miles outside the city to greet him. Stop at Chigu Castle for a while, rush to Shule, and enter Dawan. At this time, Liu Ye had already commanded his men and horses to break through hundreds of thousands of reinforcements outside the city of Flousha, and Flousha had become an isolated city.

Outside the city of Maracanda, Liu Ye, Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan stood in the wind, waiting for Liu Ze's arrival.

In the distant sky, a yellow dragon suddenly appeared, and the smoke and dust were billowing and filling the air. Wei Yanxi said: "The emperor is here!" ”

Liu Ye said: "You and I will go forward." It's been a long time since I've seen the emperor. ”

Liu Ze rode on a tall white horse, galloping happily, with 30,000 ironclad soldiers behind him, traveling for more than ten miles, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were already over fifty years old at this time, with white temples and frosty beards.

Liu Ye took the lead, flew out quickly, saw that Liu Ze had approached, rolled the saddle and dismounted, fell to the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang greet you." ”

Liu Ze grabbed the war horse, jumped down, walked quickly to Liu Ye's side, pulled it up, stared at Liu Ye for a long time, and said slowly: "Ziyang, over the years, you have worked hard. After passing through the Western Regions, accumulating wealth and goods, so that our army should not worry about the burden, Ziyang should be the first to take the lead. At this time, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan also got off the horse to worship, Liu Ze pulled them up one by one, and said with a sigh: "I haven't seen you for a few years, although Qing and the others are weathered, they are in good spirits, and it can be seen that the sword is not old." In the future, you and I will work together to turn this foreign land upside down. ”

Liu Ye and the three of them said loudly: "When the emperor is the first to take the lead, step on Kushan and Persia." ”

At this time, Sun Shangxiang, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Feng had also dismounted, and everyone greeted each other with a warm greeting.

Liu Ze saw that everyone had spoken, and said loudly: "The wind is fierce and the yellow sand is all over the sky, so why not talk at night if you rush to the city of Maracanda earlier?" ”

Amid the laughter, the army rushed towards Maracanda.

Along the way, the wind became more and more violent, but fortunately, it was not far from the city, and in half an hour, it came to the outside of the city. Zhang Heng had already cleared out the place, and the men and horses who had traveled nearly 2,000 miles could finally sleep peacefully.

Liu Ye put the wine to catch the wind, and during the banquet, he talked about how to break the foreign reinforcements of Fulousha City, and how Vesudeva I collected the remnants of the defeated soldiers, and he couldn't hold on, so he became a turtle with a shrunken head.

Dian Wei said with a grin: "Your Majesty, when I go into the city, kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "As the capital of Guishan, how can Flousha be easy to attack. There are 200,000 troops in the city, and the art of war is cloudy: ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple to divide it. Now our army is less than 300,000, and a strong attack is not the best policy. ”

Liu Ye said: "Your Majesty, FrΓΌsha will not be able to go down in the future. ”

Liu Ze said: "Why? ”

Liu Ye said: "In Japan, Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyu once offered a strange plan, with 6,500 soldiers, attacked the two cities of Fulousha Acropolis, Fork Shiluo and Luxury, and set fire to a large number of supplies. The hoarding in the city of Flousha is only enough for the needs of the army for three months, even if the Kushan people tighten their belts, it will not exceed five months, and now that three months have passed, there will be a shortage of food and grass in the city, and our army will win without a fight. ”

Liu Ze said: "In case Vesudeva I jumped over the wall in a hurry and suddenly counterattacked, how to deal with it? ”

"Your Majesty, if the people of Guishan don't go out, if they go out of the city, our army will be ready to spread the net."

"Well, since Ziyang has made arrangements, our army will rest for two days and set off immediately. Ziyang, is there any news of Meng De? ”

"A few days ago, I met a caravan that claimed to be from Tianzhu, and the minister heard some news."

"Oh, tell me."

"The merchant's name is Doragaye, he travels back and forth between Tianzhu and the Western Regions, runs the business of jewelry and dragon and tiger pills, and can speak fluent Chinese, and he is known as Weichen. Taragaye said: The city of Hua's city was fiercely attacked by the Han army, and the soldiers were completely damaged, and it could be broken in a few days. The emperor of Tianzhu, Purum IV, originally took the opportunity of Vesudeva I to transfer the southern army of Kushan to the north to plunder the land of Kushan, but when he saw the unstoppable offensive of the Han army in the country, he withdrew the border defenders and defended the city of Huashi with all his might. ”

"Brother Meng De went on the expedition, and there were only more than 200,000 men and horses, I don't know if he can support it?"

"Cao Mengde uses soldiers, he is elusive, and he is supplemented by the barbarian king of Nanzhong, so the emperor doesn't have to worry."

"It's a pity that there are not many fierce generals around Brother Meng De, and Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen are a little lonely."

"The five barbarian kings, each fierce and difficult to beat, Zhang Wei, Zhang Yi, the battlefield generals, with Cao Mengde as the main brain, why not break the enemy?"

"Ziyang is reasonable, end the Kushan war as soon as possible, divide an army, gallop to aid Mengde, pacify Tianzhu as soon as possible, and our army has no worries in the rear. Then he marched to Persia and fought against the Sassanids. ”

After saying so much, Liu Ze couldn't help yawning, and Liu Ye said knowingly: "The emperor is tired from running around, so let's rest early." ”

Although he repeatedly ordered a diet, the granary in the city of Frusa had already bottomed out, and the two prime ministers on the left and right offered their plans to make the rich families in the city produce grain, which only lasted for a few days. Now that the rich families in the city have almost been plundered, and the food is about to run out, it is impossible to let the soldiers go hungry to defend the city.

Vesudeva I looked at the two prime ministers and said: "There is no food in the city, there is no hope for reinforcements, and the Han army is besieging the city with 300,000, what should we do?" ”

Prime Minister Zuo said: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, things have come to this point, either kill the war horses for food, or Kaicheng and the Han army will fight to the death. ”

The right prime minister said: "Our army has no war horses, which means that the eagle has broken its wings, how can it confront the Han army?" ”

Prime Minister Zuo said: "Our Guishan soldiers took the death of the battlefield as a glorious and great deed. The Han army has besieged the city for so long, it will definitely slack off, why didn't His Majesty the Emperor let the soldiers eat a full meal and go out of the city to kill the Han army by surprise? ”

The right prime minister said: "200,000 soldiers, about 30,000 wounded and unable to participate in the battle, 170,000 and 300,000 Han troops fighting, what is the difference between sending them to death?" ”

Vesudeva I said impatiently: "Right Prime Minister, what do you say? ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, instead of waiting for death to come in the city, why don't we surrender the city?"

Prime Minister Zuo was furious, pointed at Prime Minister Right's nose and said, "You guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, in this way, His Majesty the Emperor will be tortured to death by the Han army." ”

The right prime minister said: "Our army still has 1780,000, and we can talk to the Han army about the conditions." First of all, of course, to ensure the safety of our great Emperor Majesty. ”

Vesudeva I said angrily: "If Guishan surrenders, of course you will be reused by the Han army, as for me, if the Han army does not kill me, even if the Buddha blesses me, what kind of safety can you talk about?" ”

The right prime minister said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, if you don't give it a try, how can you know the attitude of the Han army?" If you can't negotiate, it's not too late to fight. ”

Vesudeva I said weakly: "Okay, I will send you as an envoy to negotiate with the Han army." ”

Prime Minister Zuo said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, no, the news is not good for the morale of our army." ”

Prime Minister Right sneered: "Dalmado, what morale does our army have to say now?" One by one, they have already lost their yellow muscles. ”

"Hedoro, you despicable villain, destroy your own prestige and grow the ambition of others. Your Majesty the Emperor, once Hedoro colludes with the Han army, our Guishan will be finished. ”

"Dalmado, you are the despicable villain, who even wanted to let our great Emperor His Majesty and the 170,000 soldiers under his command lose their lives in vain. Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers are single-minded for Guishuang, and there are no two hearts. ”

Vesudeva I yelled, "Enough, you two don't quarrel anymore. Right Prime Minister, you should get out of the city as soon as possible. ”

Hedoro gave Dalmator a smug look, then turned and walked out of the palace.

Hedoro came to the Han army camp to ask for a meeting, and the soldier guarding the gate said: "My master will not be idle today, so you should come back another day." ”

Hedoro touched his nose for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, he came to the Han army camp again, and asked with a smiling face: "This eldest brother, is your head of the family free today?" ”

The soldier said, "Wait, I'll ask you." ”

The interpreter said that it was given to Hedoro, and the happy Prime Minister of Guishan jumped up and said loudly, "You are finally willing to see me." ”

The soldier soon returned, and said to Hethos: "In order to prevent you from peeping into the secrets of our army, you can only enter ten people, and each of you must cover his eyes with a black cloth. ”

Hedoro nodded hurriedly and said, "It should be so, it should be so." ”

After wandering around for a long time, Hedoro secretly wondered in his heart, why is the camp of the Han army so big? Finally, ten people stopped, and the black cloth in front of them was torn off with a "swish". Hedoro blinked, and saw a man sitting on the throne of the Great Tent, with a fair face, wearing golden armor, and his eyes were not angry, looking at him.

Hedoro was overwhelmed by this person's momentum, and he couldn't stop beating the drum in his heart, and said calmly: "Under is the most trusted right prime minister of His Majesty the Emperor Weisudeva of the Kushan Kingdom, Hedoro. On the orders of my emperor, I have come to negotiate with you. ”

A loud voice shouted: "When you see our emperor, don't you kneel?" "It's Dian Wei.

Hedoro was frightened, and when he heard that it was the emperor of the Han Kingdom, his legs were weak, and he was about to kneel, but a deputy envoy next to him grabbed Hedoro and said in a low voice: "Don't lose our Guishuang's face." ”

Hedoro coughed and pretended to say, "Guishan envoy, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”
