Because of Wu Qi's sudden proposal, the atmosphere in the tent was somewhat solidified, and no one, including Deputy Marshal Su Lie, thought that today's topic would be to deal with his ally Caesar.

But if you think about it carefully, what Wu Qi said also makes sense, in order to eliminate Guishan, the Han Empire spent huge financial and material resources, but Caesar sat back and enjoyed it, from 200,000 people and 30,000 soldiers under his rule to nearly 2 million people and 80,000 strong troops. Moreover, when dividing the territory, the baht must be compared, which made Wu Qi and his soldiers very disgusted, and at this moment Wu Qi proposed to eradicate Caesar, but no one objected.

Since the generals unanimously agreed to take action against Caesar, Wu Qi continued to throw bricks and stones: "According to the scouts, Caesar's army will soon arrive under the city of Peshawar. As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, and the second attack suffers, I might as well set up an ambush along the way, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Peacock Army to kill him by surprise, and hit Caesar hard in one fell swoop. ”

Su Lie stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Dudu, for your far-sighted proposal, Su Lie raised his hands in approval. It's just that the last general secretly thought that the Qin army was still struggling, so was it a little early to do it now? It's not too late to wait until Peshawar is taken before making a move on Caesar, I wonder what the governor thinks? ”

"That's the next step!"

Wu Qi simply rejected Su Lie's proposal: "When Guishan was at its strongest, he had an army of 600,000, but Caesar was able to hide in the southern region to survive until now, and finally revived, which shows that this person is by no means an easy person." I think he also understands the truth that the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird hides the bow, maybe at the same time as we are calculating Caesar, he is also calculating our army. There is even a possibility that because of the relationship of interests, Caesar is likely to reach an alliance with Yingzheng, so as to turn the spearhead and strike a counter-attack on us! ”

He Yuanqing's mouth opened wide, and he looked surprised: "Won't it?" The Peacock and the Kushan people are a hundred years of mortal enemies, and the Peacock Kingdom, which was once very prosperous, was slowly swallowed by the Guishan, how could this Caesar ally with Yingzheng? ”

Wu Qi stroked his beard and laughed: "There are no permanent allies in the world, and there are no permanent enemies!" Everything is in favor and profit, just as we cooperated with Caesar in the first place, that is, we had a common interest, for the destruction of Kushan. But as Kushan is being eaten away step by step, how to divide the territory is the most acute contradiction between us and Caesar, and conflict is inevitable. ”

Fu Zhu took over the conversation and analyzed: "What the Governor said is extremely true, as long as Yingzheng is destroyed, only the Peacock Army and our Han Army will be left in the entire Guishan Continent. And the size of the Peacock Army is far from being comparable to our Great Han Division, it is impossible for Caesar not to see the gap, and it is very likely that he will hit it off with the desperate Yingzheng, so we must be careful to beware. ”

At this moment, the captain guarding the gate of the camp came to report: "Governor Qiyu, there are more than ten horsemen outside the camp gate, claiming to be a messenger sent by Caesar, and they are asking for a meeting outside the gate, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Oh...... Caesar's messenger came? Wu Qi frowned, "Say Caesar Caesar will arrive, I'm afraid that the weasel is not kind to the chicken, let his messenger enter the camp to speak, what is the purpose of me touching Caesar?" ”

Wu Qi instructed the civil and military forces to avoid it for the time being, and sat on his knees behind the handsome case, looking at the map with a calm face, waiting for the envoy of the Peacock Country.

After a while, the envoy led the captain to the tent, first paid homage to Wu Qi, and then explained his meaning through an interpreter: "Our king will march under the stars after taking Mingala, and will arrive at the city of Peshawar at noon tomorrow." In order to express his gratitude to the great Han heroes, the king decided to set up a banquet tomorrow evening to ceremoniously entertain Wu Dudu and General Su Dingfang. ”

Wu Qi's eyes rolled slightly, and a treacherous smile appeared on his face: "Oops...... His Royal Highness Caesar is really too outward, since he is so gracious, Wu Qi is disrespectful. There is a Lao Zun envoy who went back to report to His Royal Highness Caesar, and he will definitely go to the appointment tomorrow night to discuss the strategy of breaking the city. ”

Seeing that Wu Qi agreed so happily, the envoy was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and finally said goodbye with satisfaction, and took his entourage out of the camp and went south.

As soon as Caesar's envoy left, Kuai Yue and Fu Zhu, who were hiding outside and eavesdropping, walked into the tent side by side, and saluted together: "Dudu, Caesar suddenly sent an envoy to invite, but I am afraid that I have a ghost in my heart, and I must not go, otherwise there will be trouble!" ”

"It seems that it was really said by the governor and the prince and the gentleman, this Caesar suddenly invited him to a banquet, and nine times out of ten the drunkard did not mean to drink, and he must not fall into his trap." Su Lie followed behind the two soldiers, and before they could enter the tent, they put forward their own suggestions.

Following the pace of Su Lie and the others, including Huang Feihu, Jiang Song, Yang Qilang and other generals, walked into the tent one after another, and clasped their fists together: "Dudu, what Su Shuai and the two soldiers said is that Caesar suddenly invited, he must have bad intentions, and Dudu must not risk his life!" ”

Wu Qi stroked his beard and laughed: "How can this governor not guess Caesar's intentions? But there is a saying that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and we just take this opportunity to go into Caesar's camp, get close to him, kill him by surprise, and put the blame on Caesar's head, why not? ”

"If it was in Caesar's camp, the success rate of the raid must be very high, and it is estimated that Caesar would never have dreamed that the governor would dare to run into his camp and do something, and he would probably be killed with one blow. It's just that it's easy to kill Caesar, but how can the governor get out after killing? He expressed his admiration for Wu Qi's courage, but at the same time raised his own concerns.

Wu Qi confidently pointed at Huang Feihu, Jiang Song and others: "Feihu, Yongnian, and Yanhei are all powerful generals who are difficult to do, and it is easy to kill Caesar." Of course, the safest way is to control Caesar by surprise, and then use him as a hostage to leave the Peacock Army camp, or control Caesar to confront the enemy army. ”

Huang Feihu, Jiang Song, Yang Qilang and others hugged their fists together and asked for battle: "As the chief general of the three armies, the governor still dares to risk his life, how can we retreat?" I am willing to go with the governor to the Peacock army camp and capture Caesar! ”

Su Lie also stood up and clenched his fists: "Dudu, you are the chief general of the three armies, if there is a mistake, it will definitely make the army's heart turbulent." Just let Su Lie go for you, right? ”

Wu Qi resolutely refused: "Dingfang's kindness is appreciated by the governor, but only if I go to the banquet in person will Caesar be paralyzed." If this governor has three longs and two shorts, you will take over the military power, continue to use troops instead of me, first level Caesar and then destroy Yingzheng, and completely incorporate the entire Kushan Continent into the territory of the Han Dynasty, so as to live up to the trust of the Holy God! ”

Wu Qi wrote two suicide notes as he spoke, one for Su Lie to show to 300,000 soldiers, and the other for Fu to send to the Jinling Imperial Court, and finally took out his handsome seal and handed it to Su Dingfang: "This big seal is temporarily in your hands, if the governor is gone, you will temporarily take the position of the chief general of the three armies until the imperial court sends someone else to take over." ”

Seeing that Wu Qi had made up his mind, Su Lie took the handsome seal with a solemn face: "Governor, please rest assured, I, Su Lie, will never live up to your trust!" ”

Wu Qi swept the generals and said: "Tomorrow, Huang Feihu, Jiang Song, Yang Yansi, and Master Shang will disguise themselves as personal soldiers and go with me to the peacock camp and wait for the opportunity to act." After I waited for the success, I raised the fire as a trumpet, and Zhang He, Zhang Zhen, Yang Zhi, and Lu Xiangsheng each led 30,000 horses to attack Caesar's camp separately. Su Lie stayed to sit in the tent of the commander, in case the Qin army took the opportunity to go out of the city and loot our army's walled gate! ”

The discussion stopped, and all the generals clasped their fists together to receive the order: "We will obey the orders of the governor, and this operation vows to capture Caesar and include the Peacock Kingdom in the territory of the Han Dynasty!" ”

The night is like ink, and the stars are lonely.

When an army of 80,000 peacocks encamped in the wilderness seventy miles from Peshawar, Caesar ordered Hannibal to be secretly summoned to his tent for a few drinks and discuss the future. Hannibal gladly went to the appointment and toasted with Caesar.

After three rounds of drinking, Caesar held Hannibal's hand and sighed: "Our Peacock Kingdom can rise again, thanks to the help of General Hannibal, my brother's gratitude in my heart is really inexpressible. ”

"His Royal Highness has won the award, I just did my best. At the beginning, it was Master Xuanzang who introduced me to the Han Emperor, and the Han Emperor sent me to help His Royal Highness. Hannibal took the wine from his glass and drank it down.

Caesar took the opportunity to ask: "So what does General Hannibal think of the Han Emperor?" What is the character of the general of the Great Han? How is the army of the Great Han? ”

Hannibal turned the wine glass in his hand, and his face was full of regret: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty is very courageous, but he is too protective of his subordinates, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. Although Wu Qi was good at using troops, he was too ruthless and murderous, and nearly 200,000 Guishan soldiers were killed in the Battle of Jiaozhou. ”

"Later, all the way to the west, he killed the tribe and natives many times, and I heard that tens of thousands of prisoners were slaughtered in Hua's City a few days ago, such a thug should be severely punished by the law, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty appointed this kind of person as the chief general of the three armies, it is really disappointing! As a Westerner, I simply can't stand the behavior of Orientals! ”

Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Caesar immediately made his intentions clear: "General Hannibal, we are all white-skinned people, completely different from the cruel and murderous yellow people. Now that Guishuang is about to die, the death of the lips will be cold, Wu Qi and Su Lie will definitely do something to our Peacock Army after destroying Guishuang, I really can't imagine that the soldiers under my command were killed by the Han people, so I plan to strike first and lure Wu Qi and Su Lie to the army to go to the banquet and take the opportunity to kill. ”

As a result, the Han army was leaderless. Only the soldiers of our Peacock Kingdom and the defeated Guishan soldiers can survive. At that time, our brothers will join forces to repel the Han army and unify the Kushan Continent, and you and my brothers will join forces to govern. When the time is ripe, how about sending troops to attack the Roman Empire and restore the country for your brother? ”

Hannibal was both a little surprised and not surprised, frowned and muttered, "Is His Royal Highness ready to make a move against the Han army?" You tell me to think about where to go, and then give an answer to His Royal Highness! But I need to remind His Royal Highness, I wonder if I consulted Sister Ling's opinion? She was once married to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
