One thousand one hundred and thirty-two Good birds choose trees to perch on
Listening to Hannibal's words, Caesar laughed out loud: "Haha...... Brother Zhiguan rest assured, Cleo is my sister after all, and the marriage with the emperor of the Han Dynasty is just an expedient measure, and she doesn't really like Liu Wei. Being able to persuade the Han army to attack Guishan, her mission has been completed, and there will be no more relations with Liu Wei in the future! ”
"Sister Ling is courageous!" Hannibal raised his glass with a blank face and drank it down.
Caesar picked up the flask, filled it for Hannibal himself, and asked with a smile, "Brother, what do you think of my sister's appearance?" It's pretty long, right? ”
Hannibal turned the wine glass in his hand and said solemnly: "To be honest, Ling Mei is delicate, graceful, coquettish, and amorous, and a man will not resist her charm!" ”
Caesar laughed: "Haha...... Brother really knows the goods, in our peacock country, Cleo is the goddess in the minds of countless men, I don't know how many people worship under her pomegranate skirt, and willingly go to the soup for her. If my brother is willing to cooperate with my brother and me, we will be a family, and I will let Cleo serve you from now on! ”
Hannibal's expression changed when he heard this: "What does Your Highness the King mean by this?" Could it be that you are tempting me? ”
Caesar did not answer Hannibal's words directly, but slapped his palm vigorously, and saw the beautiful and charming Cleopatra wearing the national costume of the Peacock Country, smiling like a flower.
"General, I'll pour you a glass of wine!" Cleopatra, with a fragrant fragrance, floated up to Hannibal and poured wine for Hannibal in a flask.
Hannibal hurriedly refused, "Princess, you can't do it!" ”
Cleopatra held a wine glass, her eyes were beautiful: "Why did the general refuse to let me pour wine, could it be that he didn't look down on me?" ”
Hannibal hurriedly clenched his fists and explained: "The beauty of the princess is coveted, but Hannibal does not dare to be presumptuous. From the Peacock Kingdom, you are the sister of His Royal Highness the King, and I am just a general of the Han Dynasty who was ordered to come to the aid. From the perspective of the Han Empire, you are a princess who married the emperor, I am just a partial general, how can He De dare to be a princess and pour wine? ”
Cleopatra snorted coldly: "Hmph...... Liu Wei, this villain, didn't regard marrying us as a thing at all, he just wanted to use our Peacock Kingdom as an internal response to help him attack Guishan. He also said to me privately that he hoped that one day he would support me and his children to replace my brother as the king of the Peacock Kingdom......"
"Brother, look at how treacherous this Liu Wei is!" Caesar took over the conversation with a look of righteous indignation, "I gave him my sister-in-law, and I was bent on a hundred years of friendship, but he instigated my sister-in-law to calculate my eldest brother, do you think such an ally is trustworthy?" ”
Hannibal was silent, although he became more and more disgusted with the Han Chinese, but Liu Wei had at least canonized himself and appointed himself to assist Caesar, if he betrayed himself, what qualifications did he have to stand on the moral high ground and accuse the Han Chinese?
"Your Royal Highness, I'm a little overwhelmed tonight, let me think about what you said overnight, and I'll give you an answer when I get up tomorrow morning!" Hannibal stroked his forehead in a gesture of intoxication.
Caesar smiled and motioned to Cleopatra: "Cleo, you send Brother Hannibal back to the camp to rest......"
Hannibal hurriedly excused himself: "I don't think it's necessary, right?" Moreover, Zhanzhao, the leader of the brocade guard, also brought a hundred and ten people with him, if he found out that I was not clear with the princess, I was afraid that there would be extraneous branches. ”
Caesar put his hands behind his back, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "My mind has been decided, no matter whether you promise to help me or not, brother, when Wu Qi and Su Lie come to the banquet tomorrow evening, I will take action to get rid of them." My brother's words reminded me, so I sent someone to get rid of Zhan Zhao and the others first! ”
"Your Royal Highness, this must not be done!" Hannibal hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Caesar, "If you kill Zhan Zhao, Wu Qi will definitely be suspicious, and if Zhan Zhao can't be contacted, he won't come to the banquet easily." When the time comes, if His Royal Highness the King can't hand it over, won't he reveal his intentions? ”
Listening to Hannibal's words, Caesar rolled his eyes and bowed slightly: "There is some truth in what my brother said, this Zhanzhao is nominally here to protect Cleo, but in fact he has been making eyeliner for Wu Qi." I will let them live one more day, and after getting rid of Wu Qi and Su Lie, I will send them back to the west together! ”
With the support of Cleopatra, Hannibal returned to his tent, and as soon as he entered the door, he lay down on the bed with his clothes, waved his hand and murmured: "There is a princess, I can't drink too much, I will not send it away!" ”
Cleopatra was not in a hurry to leave, leaned down on the bed, pasted Hannibal's chest with a plump ****, and exhaled like an orchid: "Don't the general like me?" Doesn't the general want to kiss Fangze? ”
"Hehe...... "Hehe," Hannibal laughed, "which normal man can resist the charm of a princess?" But Zhanzhao's tent was not far away, and I was afraid that I would be discovered by Zhanzhao and his Jinyi guards, and I lost my head in the middle of the night. So be patient first, and wait until another day to kill Wu Qi and Su Lie, and then kiss Fang Ze! ”
Cleopatra reached into Hannibal's chest and stroked his strong chest muscles a few times: "I can't imagine that the general's self-control is so great, I can't wait." Well, then I will share the same bed with the general another day, and I will go back to the camp first! ”
As soon as Cleopatra walked on her front foot, Hannibal, who was lying on the bed, let out a thunderous snoring.
A hundred and ten steps away from Hannibal's tent, Cleopatra snapped her fingers, and dozens of thugs came out of the surroundings and saluted together: "Please princess command!" ”
Cleopatra turned her head and pointed to Hannibal and Zhanzhao's tent: "These two people, as well as other Han Jinyi guards, keep an eye on me, and none of them are allowed to leave!" If you find that your whereabouts are suspicious, you will kill them directly, so that you don't know the ghosts. ”
The leader asked, "General Hannibal has a good personal relationship with the king, should he be killed?" ”
Cleopatra nodded: "As long as Hannibal shows signs of escape, give me a hand, kill me!" Even if he can't get Hannibal's assistance, he can't let him reveal his secret to Wu Qi. ”
"Understood!"
The peacock soldiers clenched their fists together and quickly burrowed into the dark corner, as if nothing had happened.
The night was uneventful, what Caesar and Cleopatra feared most did not happen, Hannibal did not flee, let alone contact Zhanzhao and others, but slept soundly in the tent all night, and thunderous snoring could be heard in the distance.
And the Jinyi guards led by Zhanzhao did not show any abnormality, and they were quiet all night, and when they got up early in the morning, they lined up to go to the cooks to eat, and they didn't seem to be aware of Caesar's secret plan at all.
Just as Caesar was wondering how Hannibal would choose, Hannibal came to his tent and said, "Your Royal Highness, after my overnight consideration, I have decided to serve you and do something vigorous with you!" Let's join forces to get rid of Wu Qi and Su Lie tonight, right? ”
Caesar was overjoyed and leaned forward to give Hannibal a hug: "Haha...... The Han people say that good birds choose trees to perch, and the brother is really a smart man! Your command, martial arts, and strategy are all above Su Lie, and with your help, great things can be accomplished! ”
Cleopatra smiled coquettishly: "General, you are really strong, don't forget our agreement last night!" ”
"Hi hi...... The appointment of the beautiful woman, dare not live up! Hannibal stroked the thick beard on his chin and smiled greedily.
Cleopatra showed a worried expression again: "If Wu Qi and Su Lie don't come to the feast, won't our plan come to naught?" ”
Caesar said confidently: "If Yingzheng has been destroyed now, Wu Qi and Su Lie may be on guard against us." And Guishuang is still lingering, and the overall situation has not yet been settled, I don't think Wu Qi would have dreamed that we would do it at this time! ”
Hannibal gave Caesar a thumbs up: "The first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers!" His Royal Highness the King has mastered the timing too well, and Wu Qi will have a chance to hit the plan. ”
With Caesar's order, the 80,000 Mauryan army pulled out the camp in the early morning and continued to march north, aiming directly at Peshawar.
An hour after noon, Caesar led his troops to the west of Peshawar, only to see that the Han army camp stretched for dozens of miles, surrounding the capital of the Kushan country and making it impenetrable. Caesar found a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and while ordering the cook to prepare a feast, he sent Cleopatra to the Han army camp in person to invite Wu Qi and Su Lie to the feast.
The reason why Caesar sent his sister to invite him in person was that he could show his sincerity, second, Cleopatra could speak kindly, and third, Cleopatra stayed in Jiaozhou for half a year, and knew Wu Qi, Su Lie and others, and was nominally the woman of the Han Emperor. Based on the above three points, Caesar believes that as long as the girl comes out, she will definitely be able to trap Wu Qi and Su Lie.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, Caesar deliberately arranged the tent of Zhanzhao and others in a corner far away from the tent, so as not to be detected by these brocade guards, expose their intentions, and waste their previous efforts. At the same time, a large number of elite soldiers were arranged to quietly surround the Jinyi guards in the center, and just waiting for the commander of the Chinese army to start, they chopped Zhanzhao and others into meat sauce.
After taking precautions against the brocade guards, Caesar ordered Antony to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to lie in ambush around the tent, all of them wearing helmets and armor, and unsheathed swords. As soon as Caesar broke the wine glass, he swarmed in and divided Wu Qi, Su Lie and his entourage into pieces, leaving no one behind.
Just as Caesar dispatched troops and Cleopatra went to the Han camp, Hannibal, who was unwatched, finally seized the opportunity to sneak away. Before leaving, he left a letter to Caesar, to the effect that he was going to Babylon to join Alexander, and would not get involved in the conflict between the Mauryan Kingdom and the Han Empire.
After leaving the Peacock Army camp, Hannibal rode all the way, and sighed in his heart while galloping: "This brother and sister have been accusing the Han Emperor, but how can they not be this kind of person?" I have already repaid Liu Wei for his kindness, and I have also helped Caesar to be invincible all the way, and I will no longer have a clear conscience, no matter who dies or lives, it has nothing to do with me!
