Chapter 324: Life and Death
Inside the camp, the atmosphere became very strange, and Cambyses could not think of taking in the people he had driven away, which made it seem that he and his soldiers had become unrighteous soldiers. "Daqin is just using those people as cannon fodder." Seeing that Cambyses felt a little guilty for driving away the people, the lieutenant general in the tent couldn't help but convince him, "Those people are now openly defecting to the enemy, and they are traitors to Persia, and everyone will be punished." ”
"It's not necessarily cannon fodder!" Cambyses sighed, he became more and more unclear about Li Ang's intentions at this time, and he was even more jealous of this opponent who was known as the first general of Daqin, and now he was at a disadvantage in terms of military situation, and the country wanted him to hold on, but he knew very well in his heart that if the Daqin army on the opposite side attacked desperately, it would only be a matter of time before he fell here, but the other party did not launch it.
"My lord, just after the scouts returned, Daqin sent people into the Lower Persian camp." The adjutant general took the paperwork handed over by the soldiers who entered the tent, glanced at it, and presented it to Cambyses, all the generals in the tent had a solemn face, if Daqin and Lower Persia attacked them at the same time, I am afraid it would not be good, and for a while all the people looked at Cambyses, hoping that he could get an idea.
"How's the road going?" Putting down the paperwork in his hand, Cambyses looked around at the generals in the tent and asked, he actually wanted to return to the country as soon as possible, as long as he could return to the royal capital, it would be worth the price.
"Two were found, but it was difficult for the army to pass, and the Lower Persians had calculated our way back." Among the generals present, some replied with a helpless face. It is quite difficult for them to withdraw their troops now. As long as they moved, the Lower Persians would be able to take the opportunity to attack them, if they added the Great Qin Legion in front of the camp. Retreat is just lip service, and it is simply impossible to achieve.
In the tent, there was silence, and it took a long time for Cambyses to say to the generals under his command, "Which of you is willing to go to the Great Qin camp as an envoy." Bitterly state the stakes. Since he couldn't go, Cambyses had to find a way to find a way to survive with Leon, in fact, he didn't believe in his heart that Great Qin would sit back and watch Persia be annexed, after all, a unified Persia was definitely not what Great Qin wanted.
Cambyses's voice fell, and there was a dead silence in the tent, and it was not until a long time before someone spoke up, "My lord." I'd love to give it a try! Then a man who was nearly thirty years old stood up, and suddenly the generals in the tent whispered, it turned out that this big man was a side son of the Upper Persian royal family, and he looked tall and big. But in fact, he can't even beat a soldier, which can be said to be really useless. If it weren't for the fact that his father had a good relationship with Cambyses, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to lead a pro-army in this handsome tent.
"Mo O, you must know that in the Great Qin Army, the murderous spirit is soaring, if you are a coward, your mind will be taken away, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to say anything." Looking at his old friend's son, Cambyses shook his head, "You better stay in the army!" ”
"My lord, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, if Daqin doesn't have that heart, it's useless to talk about it." Mo Yao stood in the center of the tent, looked at Cambyses and said loudly, "I'll go, even if I can't say it, I can come back with my life, and if I change someone else, if I don't speak properly, I will die if I die, and I'm afraid it will affect everyone." ”
Seeing that there was a thorn in Mo O's words, several generals who usually laughed at him were glaring angrily, but unexpectedly, Mo O, who had always been timid, was not afraid this time, and actually glared back at them with a fierce face. Seeing Mo Ou like this, Cambyses was a little surprised, but he was also happy for his old friend, thinking that Mo Ou had changed his temperament and had a little manliness, so he muttered for a while, "Then you can go!" "Cambyses still knows Mo O's ability to protect himself, in terms of eloquence, I'm afraid that no one in the account can compare with him, and Mo O's ability to read people's faces is afraid that only those old and spicy civil officials in the royal capital can compare, so I don't think it will say some stupid things to anger the general of Daqin and lose his life.
"My lord, Mo Oh may not come back after he goes?" After the generals in the tent were dispersed, Cambyses's henchmen spoke.
"I don't know, but self-preservation is human nature, let him go to the Great Qin Army to rely on, at least he can save his life, if I die in the future, I can be worthy of his father." Cambyses smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything anymore, now that the morale in the camp was low, it was nothing for a royal child like Moo to have the idea of self-preservation.
In the Lower Persian army a hundred miles away from Cambyses' camp, Pargodes entertained Cui Hao, and the two smiled on their faces, but they had secretly clashed several times, and Pargodes asked Li Ang to attack Cambyses first, and wiped out 230,000 horses in Upper Persia before he was willing to take out 30 million gold baht, but Cui Hao was hiding a needle in the cotton, and refused to give in a step, and only agreed to Pargodes's request if he had to get the money.
"I often hear my ancestors say, Daqindi
They are all heroes and heroes, and they can fight very well, and it just so happens that a few of my subordinates don't have a good understanding, I don't know if Master Cui can give them a lesson, so that they can know the great Qin Wuwei, so that they don't have to make noise next to my ears every day, and they are going to destroy the shrinking turtle of Cambyses. Pargodez looked at Cui Hao and clapped his hands, to be honest, he didn't want to come to such a show, but although Cui Hao couldn't find scolding words on his face, every sentence was full of sarcasm, which made people angry.
—
Looking at the five Persian men who were rushing into the handsome tent, Cui Hao sneered in his heart, and looked at Er Zhurong and Helian Bobo, who were accompanying him, "Which of you is going to accompany you?" As soon as he said this, he immediately made the Persian generals in the tent all change color, you must know that Helian Bobo and Er Zhurong are blonde and blue-eyed, and the other is curly-haired and brown-eyed, and at a glance they know that they are from the Hu people, and in their eyes, they are naturally only Cui Hao's house slaves, and now Cui Hao does not send the Great Qin warriors next to him to fight, but let the two house slaves come out to deal with their five warriors, which makes them feel ashamed, but unfortunately they don't know that Helian Bobo and Er Zhurong are masters, After following Li Ang, he learned the strength technique of the Great Qin Inner School, and his martial arts have long been practiced more strongly.
"Mr. Cui, are you insulting us by fighting as a slave of the Hu family?" Sure enough, someone in the tent couldn't hold back, jumped up and said angrily to Cui Hao, but his words made Helian Bobo and Er Zhurong angry, especially Helian Bobo, after his mother was loyal to the Han family, he hated others to talk about his background the most in his life, if it wasn't for Cui Hao in front of him, I'm afraid he would have beheaded this outspoken Persian general.
"Hu family slave!" Cui Hao laughed, but his eyes were extremely gloomy, and he saw that the Persian general who jumped up and reproached was cold, "Both of them are the confidants and favorite generals of my marshal, and they are also the commanders of my Great Qin, but I don't know when they became the slaves of the Hu family in your lordship." Cui Hao suddenly restrained his smile and looked at Palgodes gloomily, "Such a person who doesn't know the importance can also be present in this handsome tent, is there no one in Persia?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that Cui Hao's words were not inferior, the guards behind Pargodes shouted, and they were already drawing their knives out of their sheaths, and the other Persian generals in the tent also jumped up from the seats, as long as Pargodes gave an order, they would cut Cui Hao and them into meat sauce.
The hall was full of swords and swords, but Cui Hao was not afraid, Helian Bobo and Er Zhurong on the side sneered again and again, and several broken guards behind the two were full of disdain. Cui Hao didn't speak, just fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, waiting for Pal Godez to speak.
Pal Godez's face twitched, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said unhurriedly, "Great Qin is a state of etiquette, doesn't Mr. Cui think that what he said just now was too much?" ”
"My lord, I'm afraid I forgot who first said that my commander of Great Qin was from Hu Nu." The wine glass in Cui Hao's hand fell on the case, made a clear sound, and looked at Pargodez, his gaze did not give up at all, "As for the state of etiquette, it is just the boastful words of those scribes of my Great Qin, but it is a false praise of Lord Cheng." ”
Seeing Cui Hao thanking him, Pargodes was secretly scolding shamelessly, he had never seen a person like Cui Hao, thick-skinned to such an extent, the state of etiquette is simply bullshit, and the state of interests is almost the same! Although he was slandered in his heart, but Pargodes couldn't tear his face with Cui Hao, and if Persia was not destroyed for a day, he would ask for Daqin, but if he slightly folded Cui Hao's sharpness, Pargodes would not be polite.
"Fang Cai is my subordinate who lost his words, and he didn't accompany the two commanders of Great Qin." In the blink of an eye, Pal Godez had changed into a smiling face, and shouted falsely at the subordinate he had picked up earlier.
"No need, people are barked at by dogs, do they still have to be like dogs?" Cui Hao waved his hand, his voice was not high, but the Persian generals in the tent who could understand Chinese heard it clearly, and the atmosphere that had eased down became tense again in an instant.
"I'm going to fight you to the death." The Persian general, who was insulted by Cui Hao, shouted at Cui Hao with red eyes, and his accent was standard in Chinese.
"You want to sign a life and death certificate with me?" Cui Hao glanced at the Persian general who was like an angry bull, and asked Palgodes, "Is there such a rule in Lower Persia?" ”
"Everything in our country is governed by the Great Qin, and there are often people in the royal capital who sign life and death certificates, and they know each other's life and death." Palgodes is still smiling, he is very satisfied with his subordinates choosing Cui Hao as an opponent, this poisonous scribe should really teach a good lesson, "I think Mr. Cui is a scribe, this life and death are still spared!" Pargodez said, but the implication was to allow his subordinates to challenge Cui Hao, and it was up to Cui Hao to see if Cui Hao had the courage to fight.
