Chapter 241: Verbal Sword
Jiang Wei and the others immediately sat down to prepare for battle, and one of them shouted in the dark night: "Damn Sassanid cubs, why are they everywhere? Brothers, now that they have been exposed, kill them and return to the camp to report to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Jiang Wei listened to the tone, it was not Ardashir's men, and immediately asked in Persian: "Don't fight, you are His Majesty Vologis VI's subordinates?" ”
A person on the other side said, "Yes, who are you?" ”
Jiang Wei said: "We are people who have our hearts set on His Majesty Vologis VI, and we have come to join the Great Emperor to defeat the hated Ardashir, a bastard. Jiang Wei knew that the harder he scolded Ardashir, the easier it was for the other party to believe it.
Sure enough, when the other party heard it, he said loudly: "This is too close to the Sassanid camp, let's go over there and talk." ”
Jiang Wei led the people forward, and the other party took the initiative to get out of the way, and galloped towards the north with Jiang Wei and the others. When they reached a safe area, the leader shouted, "Light the torches." ”
In the light of the fire, the leader shouted: "Prepare for battle, you are not Persians or Parthians." "The Parthians established the Empire of Sabbatia, and Ardashir led the Persians to defeat Volochis VI and established the Sassanid Empire, which of course was also known as the Parthian Empire.
The appearance of the Han people is very different from that of the West Asians, and they can be seen clearly under the firelight. Jiang Wei shouted: "Don't do it, we are the messengers of the Great Han." ”
When the leader of Anxi heard that the other party was from the Han Kingdom, he waved his hand to stop his subordinates, and said suspiciously: "Our Emperor His Majesty also sent an envoy to the Han State, and the Han State was in chaos at that time, and the envoy was frightened to return before he reached Luoyang. Are you really Han Chinese? ”
Jiang Wei said: "Yes, my Han has captured Guishan and Tianzhu, and is currently confronting Ardashir's men and horses. My Emperor sent me as an envoy to Persia to find His Majesty Vologis VI and help him defeat Ardashir and restore the Sabbath Empire. ”
The leader said, "Is it just a few of you?" ”
Jiang Wei said: "Of course not, this general, quickly lead us to see His Majesty Vologis VI, you can't afford to take this responsibility if you delay the military situation, right?" ”
That leader was just the scout captain, and when he heard Jiang Wei's seriousness, he had to say, "You guys come with me." ”
In the Artashat city of Arteshat, Armenia, Vologis VI couldn't help but hesitate when he heard that an envoy from the Han Kingdom had arrived, and said to the left and right: "Now that we have been cornered by Ardashir, why would the envoy of the Han Kingdom look for us?" ”
The prime minister stopped Romans and said: "The envoys of the Han Kingdom must have come to unite with our army. ”
"Oh, why did the Prime Minister say that?" Vologis VI couldn't help but be interested.
"Your Majesty the Emperor. The Han State went to the country for thousands of miles and captured Kushan, and the Han State has an old saying, which says: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If the Kushan is occupied by the Han State, then the next step will inevitably be aimed at Persia, Ardashir, the dog, will definitely not want to sit still, maybe he will strike first. The logistics of the Han Kingdom are difficult to guarantee, and if you want to solve the problem quickly, it is also a good way to unite with us. ”
The great general Pasadola said: "What if we join forces with the Han and kill Ardashir, and the Han people return and attack us again?" ”
"There are so many people in Persia who are loyal to our Emperor's Majesty, and when Ardashir is killed, our army will be staggering, and the Han army will only fight less and less, and maybe we can occupy Kushan by the way." And don't forget that the border with Kushan is the place of our Parthians. ”
Seeing that what his prime minister said was reasonable, Vologis VI said: "In this case, let's meet with the envoy of the Han State and discuss how to unite." ”
Jiang Wei came to the residence of Vologis VI, which was originally the general's palace, and in the era of the Rest Empire, the general was called: Sabob, who was in charge of a side of soldiers and horses. Artashat belonged to the Armenian domain, and the general's palace was not built very tall, and a generation of emperors only bowed to it.
After Jiang Wei saw the ceremony, Vologis VI said: "Your envoy has come from afar, I don't know what is important?" ”
Jiang Wei said: "For the safety of His Majesty the Emperor's life, and for the sake of resting the empire, the empire has come from a new strength." ”
Pasadora rebuked: "It's nonsense. Our Emperor is naturally responsible for the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, where can you be allowed to make irresponsible remarks from an outsider? ”
Jiang Wei smiled and said, "My lord, where is the land where His Majesty Vologis VI once had rest?" His Majesty the Emperor was chased all the way from Azak by Ardashir's men and horses, and lived in a small Armenian region, with 200,000 enemy troops outside the borders eyeing him, how could your majesty defeat these 200,000 horses and ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor? ”
Pasadola was annoyed. The old face turned red, and he couldn't defeat 200,000 people with 100,000 people.
"I wonder how your envoy can keep my Emperor in danger and restore the majesty of the Empire?" ”
Jiang Wei said: "Our army has occupied Kushan and Tianzhu, Ardashir colluded with the Roman Emperor Severus, and jointly dispatched a million troops to attack our army, at this time, I am afraid that only this Armenia is still stationed outside the territory of Persia, once the 200,000 enemy troops are broken, with the ability of His Majesty the Emperor, ascend to the heights, and the Persian land is not at your fingertips." ”
Pasadora said: "This messenger said so lightly, how can the 200,000 enemy army be broken? ”
Jiang Wei smiled: "It can be wiped out with a snap of your fingers." ”
"Braggart." Pasadola scoffed.
Jiang Wei smiled slightly and ignored him, and said: "The Han army is alone against the Sassanid and Roman coalition of millions of people, aren't you afraid that you won't even be able to go back to the country?" ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Don't say that the coalition army is coming to attack one million, that is, another million, my lord has his own strategy to break the enemy." ”
This was a bit of a big deal, and Passadora immediately said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this envoy will only brag, don't believe him." ”
Seeing Jiang Wei's calm atmosphere and the appearance of a bamboo in his chest, Vologis VI said with a smile: "If your envoy can break the 200,000 enemy troops outside the country, I will form an alliance with the Han State." ”
Jiang Wei smiled: "His Majesty the Emperor is serious? ”
Vologis VI said: "Of course it is. ”
Jiang Wei said: "Okay, but Your Majesty's army will be under my command for the time being, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Vologis VI groaned and said, "Good. ”
Ardashir's 200,000 horses, the camp stretched for more than 30 miles, Jiang Wei had already observed it during the day, although he didn't look carefully, but there were resting scouts to supplement, and he quickly grasped the overall situation.
After waiting for five or six days in a row, Jiang Wei did not move, and Pasadora was impatient and repeatedly provoked in front of Vologis VI. Vologis VI also had the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, knowing that it was impossible to defeat 200,000 people with only 100,000 people. As for the military power, of course, it is firmly in his own hands, and he is not afraid that Jiang Wei will abduct his men and horses, but he is afraid that he will lose these 100,000 horses. When Vologis VI heard Passadora's words, he felt uncomfortable and ordered him to go to Jiang Wei left and right.
The guards on the left and right hadn't gone out yet, and a report came from outside: "The envoy of the Han Kingdom asks to see you." ”
Vologis VI hurriedly let Jiang Wei in, and Pasadora said: "You doll messenger, the cowhide is blowing very well, why don't you see any movements?" ”
Jiang Wei ignored it and said to Vologis VI: "Your Majesty the Emperor, tonight, I can break the enemy army, and trouble Your Majesty to follow me to the military camp to transfer men and horses." ”
Vologis VI said: "Why today? ”
Jiang Wei looked left and right, Vologis understood in his heart, waved his hand to repel the left and right guards, Jiang Wei saw that Passadora was still there, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, is this adult trustworthy?" ”
Pasadola was furious and was about to move forward, Vologis said, "General Pasadola is my most trusted courtier. ”
Jiang Wei said: "I have been waiting for six days, inspecting the sky every day, and the north wind is strong tonight, which is a good opportunity to break the enemy." ”
"Oh, I don't know how your envoy will break the enemy?"
"Your Majesty, the oil I asked you to prepare some time ago is ready?"
"There are many rivers of fire oil in the desert, and it is very easy to get them, and they have been prepared for a long time."
"Okay, please ask Your Majesty to follow me to the barracks, I ask Your Majesty to give death orders to the generals, everything is under my command, there must be no mistakes."
Vologis VI weighed it in his heart, and said cautiously: "Your envoy, if I break through 200,000 enemy troops, I don't know how much my men and horses will lose?" ”
Jiang Wei said: "If everything goes well, if you kill 200,000 enemies, the loss will not exceed 30,000." ”
"What?" Pasadola's bull's eyes glared, this cowhide was blowing so big.
Jiang Wei saw Vologis VI hesitating, and said loudly: "The soldiers are fast, and when they are constantly interrupted, if they miss the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it." ”
Vologis VI said excitedly: "It's up to you to decide everything. ”
In the military camp outside the city, there are only a dozen remaining generals who are resting in peace, and they are all in low spirits. Vologis walked into the camp and said loudly: "This battle is commanded by the envoys of the Han Kingdom, and whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed." ”
Jiang Wei calmly walked to the throne, bowed his hand to Vologis VI, turned around, and gave an order in a loud voice. Because the emperor pressed the field, which of the generals in the camp dared to make a sound, one by one went with a very unwilling, twenty unwilling to carry out the order.
Seeing that all the generals were gone, Jiang Wei sat still and couldn't help but say, "Our generals have all gone into battle to kill the enemy, what are you doing as a messenger?" ”
Jiang Wei smiled confidently and said: "Sit in the camp, arrange the merit book, and wait for the generals to make meritorious contributions." ”
Vologis VI was also worried in his heart, this envoy of the Han State commanded in an orderly manner, but could it succeed?
