Twenty-five-year-old me was introduced to a blind date today, so I have to make up for it later tomorrow, but I seem to be the fate of the lonely star, and it seems that I am destined to be lonely for the rest of my life, in fact, it is quite good, how comfortable a person is, and the majority of single comrades rejoice again, we are still nobles!

No one knows what Cui Hao and Pargodes talked about in the tent, but when they came out, they looked like old friends knew each other, and the Persian generals guarding the tent were stunned, but what happened next shocked them even more, Pargodes actually no longer insisted that Daqin send troops first, but agreed to deliver the gold baht allocated by the royal capital.

Although the generals made different voices, they were suppressed under the authority of Pargodes, and Cui Hao lived generously, and he brought people back to the camp to send troops over to take over the golden baht.

In the tent, Helian Bobo, who had already wrapped up his wounds, looked at Cui Hao, who was leisurely and complacent, thought about it, and still asked the doubts in his heart, "Mr. Cui, how did you get that old fox to agree?" In Helian Bobo's eyes, Pargoders was not an easy person to deal with, and he could vaguely feel that this half-hundred-hundred-year-old veteran was a hidden master.

"Pargodes wanted to use the 'momentum' to suppress us, but unfortunately it was broken by you and me, so naturally he had to sit down with me and talk." Thinking of the Persian warriors and generals who died at the hands of himself and Helian Bobo, Cui Hao smiled and said, "Since you say that he is an old fox, you should know that I can't take much advantage of my negotiation with him, and if he agrees to my conditions, I will naturally agree to his conditions." ”

"What did the gentleman promise him?" Helian Bobo's face tightened, and he hurriedly asked. He really wanted to know what conditions Cui Hao used to get the old fox to agree to their request.

"Ten million gold baht. It's enough to tempt many people, and he's no exception. Cui Hao filled himself with a glass of wine, and then poured another glass of wine for Helian Bo Bodao. In a little more than a month, Persia will enter winter, and if he can conquer all the kings of Upper Persia before winter, he will definitely be able to go further and become a prince of Persia. ”

Helian Bo picked up the wine glass that Cui Hao pushed in front of him. After drinking it all, he somewhat understood what Cui Hao meant, Pal Godes has been personally blocking here and refusing to move, in addition to not worrying, it is more of a hand to prevent Daqin, if he leaves too early, then Li Ang only needs to let Cambyses go, and then Persia may only vomit blood. But now it is different, as Pargodes can drag on for a few more days, and the winter snow will block everything. Even if Li Ang let Cambyses return to the royal capital, the big thing had already been decided at that time. It's useless to go back.

"This old fox is very calculating, it seems that he originally wanted to swallow the 30 million gold baht, but he refused to spit out a cent." Helian Bobo, who understood it, slammed the wine glass on the table, he thought that Cui Hao had suffered a loss, but now it seems that Cui Hao dug out 20 million gold baht from the old fox's mouth.

"The marshal also knows this, so he asked me to lie to the old fox and say that if he doesn't give it, we will go to the king of Persia, but unfortunately he is too timid, for fear that we will let Cambyses bite him and beat them in the king's capital, if he is willing to play tricks, I can't help it." Thinking of Pargoders, who was forced by his own words, Cui Hao smiled and said, this old fox is indeed a good opponent, but it is a pity that he is too cautious.

"If he really dares to cheat, I'm afraid the marshal will really hit their royal capital." Helian Bobo didn't agree with Cui Hao's words, but said to himself with a twinkle in his eyes, "Speaking of which, their kings should have a lot of money, right?" ”

Listening to Helian speak, Cui Hao's heart fluttered, and he thought about it carefully, as if he was indeed going to be wrong, for Li Ang, as long as the Persians bite it themselves, the rest is just icing on the cake, if Pal Godes really refuses him, it would be a good move to attack them directly, thinking of this, Cui Hao laughed self-deprecatingly, compared with Li Ang, his vision is still not broad enough.

Cambyses is definitely uncomfortable now, although Li Ang did not attack him, but the small-scale scout battles that broke out every day gave him a headache, although Daqin did not occupy an overwhelming advantage, but they still lost more than they won, and judging from the return of the scouts below, many of the people who fought with them were Hu people, it was obvious that Daqin did not send a real elite scout army, such a conclusion made many generals in the army a little demoralized, plus cut off contact with the king, Some soldiers from near the royal capital were more homesick, and in the long run, I am afraid that they would be even more unmotivated, and at this thought, Cambyses couldn't help but sigh, and admired Leon even more, and forced him to such a point without moving a single soldier, which shows that Leon's methods are clever, and at this time he also knows in his heart that Lower Persia suddenly tore up the covenant and attacked them, which must have come from this person's handwriting.

"If you can compete with him for a while, you will be defeated, and you will be in this life

Pity! Cambyses shook his head and sighed, but he also knew in his heart, but he would not be rash, now that Leon has taken the initiative, how can he fight to the death with him, just drag it out this winter, and when he runs out of food, he will collapse by himself.

"My lord, among the horse thieves contained by Great Qin are our army's secret agents, it is better to let them try to assassinate the enemy commander, maybe they can win a glimmer of life for our army." Seeing Cambyses sigh for a long time, there was someone among the henchmen beside him who spoke.

"Do you know the prestige of Marshal Li of Great Qin?" Cambyses looked back at the henchmen beside him, but this question made them all change their faces, and they didn't dare to mention the assassination again, Leon is known as the first general in the world, although he is the best at using soldiers, every battle will be won, and more importantly, the lives that died in his hands, counting those who were eliminated by him with a borrowed knife to kill people, there are not less than a million, which is enough to make the nations shocked, and then Leon killed the Turkic warrior god a few years ago, and killed the tiger with his bare hands, and his brave name is also terrifying, to assassinate such a person, Cambyses thought to himself that unless all the masters of Manichaeism were dispatched, there was no chance of success, and what could only be done by a few spies.

Cambyses was suppressed by the assassination, and he didn't want to expose the few well-hidden agents in his hands, who could be a surprise soldier if necessary, and maybe they could be of some use.

Contrary to Cambyses, at this time in the Lower Persian camp, Pargodes was in his dormitory and had a secret conversation with the Zoroastrian protector who accompanied the army, "That marshal of the Qin State is a very powerful figure, as long as he lives for a day, our Persian Empire will never be at peace!" Pargoders looked at the person opposite him who was hiding under the black robe, and said in a deep voice.

—

"I know, but my lord, I have to say that it is almost impossible to assassinate him, even if the Pope comes in person, he may not be able to deal with him." The black-robed man's voice was a little hesitant, "Do you know that the Manichaean who died in Chang'an was killed by the sword of this marshal of the Qin State, and he became even more powerful than at that time, do you think those believers of mine can assassinate such a person?" ”

"There is no one in this world who cannot be killed." Looking at the black-robed man, Pargodes' voice was cold, "For the sake of the empire, he must die, you can let those believers of yours find a way to get Daqin's strong crossbow and try to snipe." "Pargodes is determined to take Li Ang's life, so he does not hesitate to expose all the secrets that he and Zoroastrians have laid in the river, and the original words brought to him by Cui Hao make him full of jealousy of this number one general in the world.

"My lord, I have to say, you are taking a risk, taking my followers and your subordinates at risk." Looking at Pargodes, who was determined to use all his strength to assassinate Li Ang, the black-robed man's voice became stiff, as the four protectors of Zoroastrianism, the patriarch who was specially responsible for preaching in Daqin, the black-robed man had a much more comprehensive understanding of Leon than Pargodes, "I came from Chang'an, not to let my followers blindly send them to death. ”

"There is no such thing as a perfect certainty in this world, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, you should try!" Pargodes looked at the black-robed man without showing weakness, "That Marshal of the Qin State will be the most powerful enemy of Persia, now there is such an opportunity to kill him at the lowest cost, why not give it a try, do you plan to use the blood of countless soldiers to achieve his prestige in the future?" ”

In a cold tone, Pargodes said, "Is your loyalty to God, to Persia, only a little?" I think the Pope has mistaken you, Dharma Protector! ”

"Don't try to provoke me." There was some anger in the black-robed man's voice, "If you are determined to gamble with our hard-won Han believers, then I promise you, but in case of failure, I will explain everything to the Pope, you should understand what I mean, right?" ”

"Don't use the Pope to press me, he's not a king yet." Pargodes said word by word to the black-robed man, the state religion of Lower Persia is Zoroastrianism, although it is powerful, but he has not taken it to heart, if it is not for the Han believers who want to borrow Zoroastrianism to develop in Daqin, he is too lazy to talk to these religious madmen.

"I have made it clear, I will let my believers listen to your people, and I hope you will succeed." The black-robed man said coldly, and then left, he didn't want to get involved in Pargodes's plan, as the protector of Zoroastrianism, what he wanted to maintain was the glory of God, if Daqin could accept Zoroastrianism, it would be more meaningful than the unification of Persia, God is higher than the world!

"Those fools, they really think that they can preach in Great Qin, and Great Qin just treats them as a group of gods who bewitch the people." Looking at the tent, Pargodes scolded in a deep voice, he hated Zoroastrianism, those religious lunatics regarded God as more important than Persia, and he didn't want to think about it, without Persia, who would believe in any bullshit gods.
