Chapter 237: Burning Fahrenheit City
Ardashir's envoys sailed from the Persian Gulf, disembarked at Supara in Tianzhu, and hurried to Fahrenheit. Prumui IV brace his spirits and receive him in the main hall of the Royal Palace.
The Persian envoy Puneer went all the way, saw the decline in the morale of the Tianzhu soldiers, and the people were eager for the golden light Bodhisattva, and looked down on the Tianzhu Emperor in front of him for 10,000 in their hearts, and then saw the eyes of Purumai IV who were blank and his face was swollen, and he knew that he was hollowed out by wine, and he added 10,000 to 10,000 miles, and he looked down on Purumoyi IV, and secretly complained in his heart about Ardashir, such a monarch, what is the point of forming an alliance with him?
Belly slander is belly slander, etiquette is still indispensable, Punell pretended to be a courtesy, and said with a grin: "Respected Emperor Tianzhu, my great king of Persia, His Majesty Emperor Ardashir, I heard that the Han army attacked Guishan and Tianzhu, and the two countries only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back. As a neighbor, we can't sit idly by, so I was sent here with the intention of forming an alliance with Tianzhu to fight against the Han army. ”
Prumui IV's head was dizzy, at this time, Persia handed over an olive branch, which was equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow, and the attitude of the envoy was all the end, and he was too lazy to care, looked at Erkunda, and said softly: "Prime minister, what do you think?" ”
Erkunda said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Persia has formed an alliance with my Tianzhu to fight against the Han army, and this is the Buddha's blessing for us. I just don't know, how will Persia assist our country after the alliance? ”
Purmoyi thought for a while, yes, Persia and Tianzhu are separated by the sea, and when your rescuers come, the daylilies will be cold, so he said to Pu Nail: "This noble envoy, the prime minister, do you understand?" ”
Punell said: "The Han army is thousands of miles away from the country, and the labor division is on an expedition, and the people's grievances will be boiling, and the grain and grass cannot be guaranteed. As long as your country drags the Han army in the territory, our Persia will quickly send troops to Kushan and fight a decisive battle with the Han army outside the country. If the Han army in Guishan is defeated, the Han army in Tianzhu is isolated and helpless, and our army is armed with the power of a great victory and enters Tianzhu, how can the Han army resist? ”
Prumoi IV was fascinated by the blueprint drawn by Punell, and his heart was overjoyed, and he was about to agree, but Elkunda said: "I wonder how long it will take for Persia to defeat the Han army in Kushan?" ”
"Hahaha," Punell looked up and laughed, and said with a smile: "I am a Persian iron horseman, and I dominate the world; War elephant assault, heavy soldiers behind, who can resist? As I expected, as long as our Persian army was dispatched, as long as it took three months, the Han army would inevitably be defeated in a hurry. ”
Elkunda sneered and said, "I wonder how the Persian cavalry compares to the Kushan cavalry? ”
"This..." Punell was dumb all at once.
"The Kushan cavalry has been fighting with Persia for many years, and your envoy won't be unaware, right? With the combat strength of the Kushan people, they were drummed down by the Han army, and the Persian iron cavalry was stronger, defeating the Han army in three months, isn't it arrogant and boastful? ”
Seeing that Erkunda was not easy to deal with, Punell put away his arrogance and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the prime minister means? ”
Erkunda said: "Your envoy comes, His Majesty Ardashir will definitely have something to explain, and please ask your envoy to tell the bottom line of Persia, and we will be open and honest with each other, so as to be conducive to the great cause of resisting the Han army." ”
Punell originally looked down on Purumai IV, but he didn't dare to look down on this prime minister at this time, so he had to say: "The army of the Bosquerd Rossia region can directly pass through the territory of Kushan, aid Tianzhu, attack the flank of the Han army, and delay the situation in Hua's city." ”
Prumoyi IV also came to his senses at this time, and said loudly: "If the Persian army comes to help, the city of Fahrenheit can be guaranteed for half a year." When the Kushan Han army was defeated and retreated, you and I attacked the Han army together and drove the soldiers and horses of the Han State back to their hometown. ”
Punell said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, is this an alliance?" ”
Prumui IV said: "Yes. ”
Punell said: "Drive out the Han army, all the land of Kushan belongs to Persia, His Majesty the Emperor has no opinion, right?" ”
At this time, Prumoi IV only wanted to hold on to the existing territory, where would he dare to expand the land, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Punell said: "The Persian gang Tianzhu, Tianzhu must show a little sincerity, right?" ”
Erconda knew that Punell must have something to say, and said loudly: "I wonder what the sincerity of your envoy means? ”
Punell laughed, "Ceded Supara, and the Narmada River valley will be owned by Persia. “
The Narmada River originates in the central mountainous region of Tianzhu, at the southern foot of the Shideya Mountains, flows into the Arabian Sea, and flows through several regions.
Almost at the same time, Prumui IV and Erconda exclaimed: "No. ”
Punell said, "What does His Majesty the Emperor mean? ”
Prumoyi IV had a headache and said, "With Supara as the center, a radius of a hundred miles will be ceded to you. ”
"There are five hundred miles around Supara, and there can't be less. ”
El Kunda said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Persian envoys are coming from afar, so let's set up a banquet first, and then talk, right?" With that, he glanced at the emperor.
Prumoyi IV took the opportunity to say: "Okay, just do what the prime minister said." ”
Next, the two sides of Persia and Tianzhu quarreled with each other and refused to give in to each other in the distribution of benefits, and a war of words began. After five days, Prumoi could not sit still, and when the conversation continued, when it was a game, the Han army would not wait, and after consulting with Erkunda, they signed an alliance treaty with Persia at the cost of ceding 400 li of land around Supara.
Punel's diplomacy was a great victory, and he set off for his home country in high spirits, where he met his old friend, the Persian merchant Li Wangida. Looking at the thousands of camels loaded with goods, Punell smiled and asked, "Old friend, you have made a fortune again, what kind of goods are you transporting this time?" ”
Liwang Yida took out thirty boxes of Thousand Golden Dragon and Tiger Pills, handed them to Punell's entourage, and said with a smile: "The fire oil in the Persian desert is black and not worth a penny. ”
Punell said: "What are you doing with worthless things?" ”
Li Wangida said: "A person named Zhuge Ke in the Han army wanted to buy it, saying that Tianzhu often rains, and the soldiers do not have dry firewood for cooking, so they use fire oil. ”
Punell said with a smile: "There is no capital to trade, you have to do it often, make a fortune, don't forget my friend." ”
Li Wangida said: "The next time I meet you, I will give you two hundred boxes of Dragon and Tiger Pills, this thing is really a good thing, take a sip, and you will be covered in Tai." ”
Punell yawned and said, "Old friend, goodbye, I still have important things to do, remember to ask you for the Dragon Tiger Pill next time." ”
Liwang Yida said goodbye to Punell with a smile, dreamed of making a fortune, and rushed to the Han army camp.
For three months, the camp of the Han army was full of canisters of fire oil. With the efforts of Tianzhu craftsmen, thousands of stone-throwing carts have also been built, just waiting for Cao Cao's order.
Wei Yan was outside the Acropolis, broke the three-city coalition army, and advanced to the corpse Najieluo, preparing to attack the Vaishali, echoing Cao Cao's army. Unexpectedly, the Persians suddenly crossed the southern desert of Kushan and wanted to copy their own back road. Wei Yan quickly made arrangements, and the three cities were each other's horns, and the Persians held each other.
The city of Fahrenheit was too big, and the Han army had to guard against the soldiers in the city from leaving the city, and also launched a stone-throwing cart, which was far from enough. Fortunately, the Golden Light Bodhisattva has won the hearts of the people, and Zhuge Ke, in the name of the Golden Light Bodhisattva, called on the people to help organize the Han army to defeat the mediocre and brutal emperor in Hua's city and rescue the suffering people in the city. The people of Tianzhu heard that it was the Bodhisattva's decree and enthusiastically participated.
After the transformation, there were more than 100,000 captives in Tianzhu, and Cao Cao asked the king of Mulu to form elephant soldiers, and he was happy to make Mulu giggle all day long, soak in the barracks, and work very hard. There are already tens of thousands of ready-made war elephants, and many of the captives are former elephant soldiers, and they can be said to be trained like fish in water. In less than three months, the Elephant Soldier had taken shape and could be used as a major unit.
After some intense preparations, the 100,000 Han army suddenly blocked the gates of Hua's city, and then the 100,000 Han army commanded the people, pushing the tall stone throwing carts, to the outside of the city wall. On this day, the weather was good, and the morning sun transformed into a colorful aura through the misty mist. In the fields far away from Fahrenheit, elephants and buffalo eat leisurely; The city was also quiet, a murderous atmosphere, and the war horses and war elephants were also shocked by this atmosphere, and did not dare to neigh loudly.
The tense atmosphere did not last long, and a series of cannons suddenly sounded, startling the buffalo and elephants in the four fields and running away without a trace. The guards at the head of the city were already full of sweat in their palms, and when the horn sounded, the hairs on their backs stood on end, and they secretly recited "Amitabha" in their hearts.
The stone-throwing car put two porcelain jars together, with a command, the porcelain jar filled with fire oil suddenly pounced on the city, after the porcelain jar landed, "bang", scattered and split, and the slimy fire oil slowly dispersed. The soldier at the head of the city dipped his finger a little, put it under his nose and sniffed it, choked and coughed, and muttered, "What is this?" ”
The generals defending the city saw the porcelain jars flying towards the city all over the sky, and they didn't know why, what kind of tactics did the Han army have? Do you want to go out of the city and fight them in the field? It's a pity that Prumui IV had a strict order: strictly defend the city, and not fight privately.
A general at the head of the city shouted loudly while dodging the porcelain jar to boost morale, accidentally stepped into the oil with one foot, slipped under his feet, and fell on his buttocks, and the soldier next to him hurriedly helped him up. The general habitually slapped his buttocks with his hands, and his hands were immediately covered with black grease. At this time, a pawn shouted, "Dodge the rocket." ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and saw countless rockets flying, so he showed his might, his hands flew, like a butterfly wearing flowers, and caught three rockets in an instant, and the general's feat immediately made the soldiers feel great and shouted loudly. The general spat and threw the arrow, which was still on fire, on the ground. Coincidentally, an arrow fell into the oil of fire, and the fire burst out, so frightened that the general shuddered and hurriedly jumped away, at which time a soldier shouted: "General, your hand." ”
