And Lenz was born in a slave family, and everything in the family belonged to the slave owner, even if he himself was not a slave soldier, if he was not a skilled soldier. Hearing the interpreter say that ordinary people in Guishan have land and houses, I couldn't help but be envious, thinking of what it would be like if my parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters had land to cultivate? I think too much, and my heart unconsciously yearns for it, and I think about it.

The interpreter said: "The Han army came for all the poor people and low-class slaves of Persia, and when Ardashir was defeated, all the people and slaves would have food, clothing, and housing, and they would no longer work for those high-ranking officials and slave owners." ”

And Lenz said suspiciously: "Will there be such a good thing?" What to do with that Vologis VI? ”

The interpreter smiled and said: "With the help of the Han army, you soldiers who were born as commoners and slaves, with strength in your body and weapons in your hands, won't you protect your homeland?" ”

And Lingzi thought about it, yes, which of our own land and property dares to come and rob it, Lao Tzu fought with him, so he said to the interpreter: "I can surrender to you, but I have one request." ”

The interpreter said: "With your skills, if you surrender to the Han army, you will definitely be able to get a great general to do in the future." What a request, you say quickly. ”

And Lezi said: "In the hearts of our Persian warriors, we only surrender to the strong, and I am not surrendering to the Han army, but to the general who defeated me." Since I surrendered to him, I will be faithful to him for the rest of my life. ”

The translator secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "General Guan is the god of war of our Han army, and our emperor has praised him many times, and it is your blessing that you have followed General Guan." I'm going to explain to General Guan, are you willing? ”

And Lenzi said: "I don't need you to go, I'll just follow you." ”

The interpreter was overjoyed, hurriedly untied the rope of Rangzi, and came with him to find Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is holding "Spring and Autumn" in his left hand, brushing his hair with his right hand, and is watching under the lamp. And Leng Zi was illiterate, seeing Guan Yu's strong skills, he didn't forget to read a book at any time, and then saw Guan Yu sitting under the lamp, his expression was focused, his appearance was dignified, and he was not angry and arrogant, and he was inexplicably admired in his heart, and he had not yet entered the camp tent, and knelt on the ground with a flutter.

Guan Yu heard the movement, looked up, and saw the interpreter standing at the door of the big tent with a smile on his face, hurriedly stood up, and said to the interpreter: "This general, are you willing to surrender?" ”

And Lenz stared at the translator with a pair of big eyes, and the interpreter translated Guan Yu's words with a smile, and Lengzi said it with a smile. The interpreter said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, this General Erlenzi, is willing to surrender to you, follow you for life, and never have two hearts." He said that when he was on the battlefield, he felt that you were a god descending from heaven and that it was worth him to follow you all his life. ”

Guan Yu frowned, stunned, what kind of strange name is this, does Persia and Han also have something in common? This guy really looks like a dumbfounder. The interpreter saw Guan Yu's doubts, and explained with a smile: "And Lengzi, Persian means inferior, lowly race. ”

Guan Yu's personality has always been arrogant, and he couldn't help asking: "Is this stunned general from a poor people?" ”

The interpreter said: "It's not as good as the common people, he was born as a slave." ”

Guan Yu was full of love and said to Tongyi: "I can't imagine that this second stunned man's life is so miserable, let's just give him a better name, since he is willing to follow me, I will give him a better name." Guan Yu turned around and paced, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "King Wu built Zhou, there was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; The second stunned man was born as a slave and had no food to spare. Let's name him Zhou Cang. Zhou, the week of the Great Zhou, Yan Huang Zun's surname is also; warehouse, I hope that he will build more granaries in his home, so as not to have no food. ”

The interpreter translated Guan Yu's words, and Lingzi was overjoyed, kept kowtowing to Guan Yu, and stammered to follow the translation theory to say his new name - Zhou Cang. Fortunately, it is not difficult to pronounce these two words, and Lenz quickly learns them. Guan Yu saw that it was difficult to communicate, so he said to the interpreter: "Please also ask this gentleman to take a lot of trouble and teach him some Chinese to facilitate getting along in the future." ”

The interpreter felt honored to be invited by Guan Yu, and said loudly: "I will do my best." ”

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Someone." ”

The soldiers outside the door came over, and Guan Yu said: "Arrange a place for this interpreter and Zhou Cang, don't be lazy." Also, get some more wine for both of them. This Zhou Cang, I think he is also a good drinker. ”

When Zhou Cang heard the words of the translator, he was overjoyed, and went out with his own soldiers to learn Chinese.

In the city of Ekbatana, Daoyar decided to shrink his forces and defend the city with all his might, while ensuring that the road to Ctesiphon was unblocked. If the road to Ctesiphon is cut off, Daoyar will look at the whole of Persia, where else can he go? To this end, Daoyar sent a part of his troops to build a fortress in the Zagros Mountains, and sent a letter to Ardashir, hoping that some troops could also be sent from Behisdun to jointly defend the mountain road.

Liu Ye's men and horses also arrived at Ekbatana the next day, and the Han army had reached 300,000 troops. After the two sides discussed, it was decided to besiege Sanque and start the siege. Next is the manufacture of siege equipment. Liu Ye, the initiator of the rock-throwing truck in history, has made many improvements to the stone-throwing vehicle, and the size and height of the stone-throwing vehicle have also been adjusted a lot, so that the stone-throwing vehicle can be attacked in batches and distances in an all-round way.

The manufacture of stone-throwing cars, ladders, and towers seemed familiar to the Han army, and it didn't take five days to get everything ready, and the Han army slowly started and surrounded the three walls of Ekbatana.

After more than three months of sailing, the fleet of Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, and Lu Xun found the Strait of Malacca that Liu Ze said, and the fleet slowly passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean. The islands you pass through along the way are rarely inhabited, and supplies have become a big problem. Fortunately, Zhou Gongjin was unparalleled in resourcefulness, Gan Xingba was extremely brave, and Lu Boyan was deep and wise, and the three of them led 100,000 sailors and soldiers to overcome all kinds of difficulties, so that the soldiers would not be short of food and drink.

The warship has a deep draft, and there are light boats in front of it to explore the way, so as not to run aground on the rocks. Fortunately, the fleet has been sailing close to the coastline, so if you catch up with bad weather, you can prepare in advance to reduce losses. Rao is like this, and when he came to the Strait of Malacca, he had already lost more than 20 warships.

Zhou Yu and Lu Xun are both meticulous people, constantly improving the charts and recording what they see and hear along the way. Liu Ze and Zhou Yu may not know that it was an order from Liu Ze that Zhou Yu completed an epoch-making feat and became the first team in China and even the world to sail tens of thousands of miles, more than a thousand years earlier than Zheng He went to the Western Ocean.

Zhou Yu and the three chose to move forward on the mainland coastline, which invisibly increased the voyage, and after more than two months, when the Han army in Persia had already attacked Ekbatana, Zhou Yu and their fleet came to Tianzhu near the Bay of Bengal. The ships anchored at the mouth of the Ganges, ready to resupply some supplies.

News of the arrival of a large fleet of ships in Tianzhu soon reached Gogra. When the Gogra defenders heard that the Han warship was docking, they all cheered, and the defenders flew to Cao Ang. Cao Ang, as a member of the party, naturally knew the news of the expedition of the Han naval army, and while urgently ordering the general of Gogra to inform Zhou Yu, he organized fishing boats to go straight down the Ganges River to transport a large number of supplies.

100,000 sailors and soldiers have come to this point, and they have deeply experienced the feeling of meeting relatives, where there are their own people, where is convenient.

In Ecbatana City, the Han army's stone-throwing carts smashed countless boulders, fire oil, and gunpowder, and once blew open the city gate, but the moat outside Ekbatana City is wide and deep, and the drawbridge does not fall, which is equivalent to working in vain. After the city gate fell, the Persians quickly organized people to carry stones and blocked the hole in the city gate.

Daoyaer's reaction can be described as fast, as long as the Han army's stone-throwing vehicle moves, he commands the men and horses to withdraw directly from the city, and the stone-throwing is stopped here, and his men and horses run to the city again.

Liu Ye stood on the tall wooden building, observed for a day, and had a plan in his heart.

At night, arranging the soldiers who guarded the stone-throwing cart, Liu Ye asked the generals to summon them, and when the others came, he took out a large piece of paper, spread it on the table, and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a good opportunity?" ”

Zhang Xiu looked at it for a while and said: "My lord draws a section of the city wall, is the so-called opportunity not on this section of the city wall?" ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Yes, although you can't break the city, you can still inflict heavy damage on the enemy." ”

Guan Yu said: "Please also speak clearly." ”

Liu Ye said: "Everyone, please see, our army's stone-throwing carts are powerful, and the enemy army will retreat, and the retreat route is the horse roads on both sides of the city wall. As far as I can guess, the enemy must hide under the wall and avoid the boulders, what do you think of our army? ”

The generals roared together, and each returned to the camp and prepared secretly.

On the second day, the stone-throwing cart had just moved, and all the soldiers at the head of the city ran down to the city. The stone-throwing cart threw scattered stones unhurriedly, and the soldiers of the rear brigade ran to the moat with sandbags on their backs, and it took an hour to fill a section of the moat flush with the ground. At this time, the catapult picked up its speed, and a large number of stones were thrown out, mainly focusing on the vicinity of the road.

The soldiers who filled the moat appeared again, and they were in groups of ten, carrying the ladder, running to the bottom of the city, and carefully erected the ladder to the head of the city, and in an instant, hundreds of ladders were erected at the head of the city. At this time, the speed of the stone-throwing cart was faster, and the oil and gunpowder continued, and after a while, a raging fire broke out at the head of the city near the horse road.

The ladder was erected, and hundreds of big men came behind them, these people, their chests and backs were full of things, and each one of them had more than 200 pounds, came to the bottom of the ladder, looked at each other, and then climbed towards the head of the city with all four limbs. With heavy bodies and creaky ladders, these tall men are light on their hands and feet, for fear of making any big moves.
