Chapter 105: Shu Kingdom Comes to Envoy
The restoration of the King to the throne went unexpectedly well.
In the early morning of the next day, before Zhang Bai and the others were ready to move, another army came from outside the city, and it turned out to be Deidares Surin who brought 8,000 heavily armed cavalry, including his original 4,000 troops, and supplemented with some new troops.
Under the banner of the Surin family, these 8,000 cavalry, together with the nearly 16,000 troops of Dadherbone, entered Ctesiphon at the same time and directly surrounded the palace.
Less than noon, under the pressure of the flying ships in the sky and the advance of more than 20,000 cavalry on the ground, Zirax and Hetri led their troops to surrender through the persuasion of the Pasha. The capital soon calmed down, leaving only some sporadic resistance.
The Apostle left the sky over the capital and anchored on the Tigris River again, which was Zhang Bai's arrangement, and he was afraid that the spacecraft would not be safe.
The King's Zero, which was carrying it, also stopped on the large lawn of the inner courtyard of the palace, and the King, under the arrangement of the Pasha and Daolao, was opened by a long line of soldiers, and entered the Council Chamber in a majestic manner, and sat on the King's throne. Zhang Bai, as the envoy of the Kushan Empire, was the first to offer foreign congratulatory gifts, and other courtiers and nobles such as Surin and Dadehebon congratulated one after another.
After some courtesy, the king finally completed the enthronement ceremony.
Zhang Bai was arranged in the palace castle, there was a large room, and the others also arranged a place to live, wash and rest. That night, Zhang Bai made an appointment with Pasha, Ziracles, and Hetri to talk about Zoroastrianism.
Suddenly, Mu Jing informed that a group of Han people had come to the river, saying that they had seen the Han flag on the bow of the Apostle, and hoped to meet the generals of the Han family on the ship.
As soon as Zhang Bai heard that he was a Han Chinese, he immediately paid attention to it, and asked Mu Jing not to act rashly first, not to be impatient, and to come immediately. After saying that, he immediately called Zheng Sui, and the two of them each found a horse, and before they had time to greet Dao Lao and the others, they hurried out of the palace and went straight to the river.
However, when you get to the river, the sight is incredible.
The apostle anchored on the bank of the river near the city gates, and the bank was filled with smoke from burning incense. Many local people, old and young, are bowing to the boat in the middle of the river. The flow of people continued to grow, the places of worship became more and more noisy, and some Parthian soldiers began to maintain order.
These soldiers are the hundred-man team led by Brother Ma. They were stationed by the river, and Zhang Bai had arranged in advance to protect the spacecraft. Unexpectedly, now he has become a police officer who maintains law and order, and he has to receive all kinds of people who want to meet and negotiate. This included some local nobles, such as the Mehran tribe who ranked second in Parthia, and the Esbalbach who ranked third, but the Surin tribe who ranked first did not come.
Zhang Bai and Zheng Sui slowed down their horses, rode slowly through the crowd, and soon found Brother Ma, who also introduced the group of Han people who asked to meet.
This group of Han people, led by a man in his thirties, has a mustache on his upper lip and a slight beard under his chin. Seeing that Zhang Bai was a child, this person hesitated slightly, and then looked at Brother Ma again. Brother Ma knew this and immediately introduced: "This one, although he is a young man, is a disciple of the Kushan National Master Sharama, the head of my Han Air Regiment, and the captain of the Parthian King's personal guard, Zhang Bai Zhang Enpei. ”
Brother Ma said a series of titles, the purpose of which was to raise Zhang Bai's value, but what he said was just some fabricated names, which made Zhang Bai laugh.
He clasped his fists and bowed and said: "Bai is a child of the Zhang family of Wu County, father Zhang Yun, eldest brother Zhang Wen, I am fortunate to see you in a foreign land today, I don't know what brother Tai has to see?"
When this person heard this, he immediately understood in his heart that it turned out to be the leader of the family, so there was nothing strange about it.
He immediately returned the salute and said: "It turned out to be the son of the Zhang family of Wu County, and the villain was rude." The last general Huang attacked, led the Han Xing to join the army, and was the right supervisor of the general, and was ordered by Prime Minister Zhuge to go west to visit the way of horse trafficking, and to inquire about the behavior of Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan. ”
Zheng Sui was beside Zhang Bai at this time, and immediately exclaimed: "I am Zheng Sui, the prime minister is looking for me with you?"
"Ah, you're General Zheng Xuan, that's great!" Huang Xun was overjoyed.
Zhang Bai immediately contacted Chen Cao in the transmission and said, "Chen Cao, do you know a general named Huang Xian?"
"Huang Xian? I know, I saw the traitor Huang Yuan when he returned to Chengdu, could it be that he was the one who asked to see him by the river?" Chen Cao said in surprise.
"It seems that it is him, so I will take him to meet you. Zhang Bai stopped transmitting, turned to Huang Xian and said, "General Huang, General Chen Cao is on the boat, let's get on the boat!"
Huang Xi said happily: "I know General Chen Cao, and the prime minister has an urgent letter and is entrusting me to deliver it to him. "Huang Xi's team was very small, like Chen Cao and Zheng Sui, only five or six people followed. Brother Ma found a sampan boat that could only carry four people, and crossed several people one by one.
The crowd by the river saw that the boat was carrying people to the spaceship, and the Parthian soldiers and the people on the spaceship respected Zhang Bai very much, and the people began to talk and commotion.
At this time, someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly shouted, "This kid, he is wearing Ahurama's robe!"
Zhang Bai suddenly had an idea, and said to Brother Ma: "Hurry up and spread the word to everyone, I am the new Ahurama!"
When Ma Ge received the order, he triumphantly announced on the spot: "You have a good look, this young man is the captain of King Aldaban V's personal guard, and he is the new Ahurama, you can see by the robe he wears, and the spaceship on the river is made by him." ”
The crowd blew up on the spot and crowded in to watch. Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Bai jumped onto the boat, and then pretended to turn around and wave his hand. He secretly used the ice water technique to control the return of the river to push the boat, and quickly crossed the river without oars.
There was another exclamation on the riverbank, crowded with people, and the incense was even more prosperous for a while.
Huang Xun and his subordinates, after boarding the apostle, met Chen Cao, and the two old friends met each other very happily. After a few warm greetings, they talked about the situation in the Central Plains.
It was the end of August. Before Huang Xun and others left, in June, Wu attacked Qi Chun and captured Wei Taishou Jinzong. Prime Minister Zhuge wanted to send troops to respond, but unexpectedly, Nanzhong Yonghong contacted Meng Shu and others, officially rebelled, and was attached to the state of Wu.
And Sun Quan actually publicly appointed Yonghong as the Yongchang Taishou, Yonghong was overjoyed, and united with Zhu Bao, the Taishou of the Qiqi Dynasty, and Gao Dingyuan, the king of the Yue Yi tribe, etc., to rebel against Shu together, and the entire Nanzhong has been Wu land.
Hearing this, Chen Cao, Zheng Xuan and others were extremely angry and scolded Sun Quan for being unjust. Zhang Bai was also a little angry, because he said: "The prime minister must be a farmer now, mainly to recuperate and recuperate." But I don't know who will resist the traitors before the battle?"
Huang Xi was a little surprised, and replied: "Sure enough, as expected by the son, at the beginning of the year, the prime minister recruited Ding to repair Dujiangyan, and closed it to merchants. If you say that before the battle, when the last general left, Yongchang County was still fighting to the death and did not fall, but I don't know who the Lord will be!"
