Chapter 236: Silver Toad
"It's not that I surrender right away, but I also want to see what kind of character this person is, of course I won't recruit a bandit into the team. But I wanted to recruit Hazard not just because of his prowess on the battlefield. You know, Alexander, who has a high eye above the top, thinks highly of him, which is not an easy task, and I don't want a person to be cut off alive. ”
"So you're afraid that Alexander has snatched Hazard away?" asked Inalao.
"Afraid? I'm afraid of everything! I'm afraid that Alexander will succeed in recruiting Eden Hazard, and I'm afraid that if I can't surrender, two people will lead the army to fight, and both will be defeated. ”
Dao Lao smiled: "Looking down, those two people can't fight, although Alexander seems to be arrogant and rude, in fact, he is delicate and scheming, he doesn't want the treasures and grain and grass in the palace, I think what he wants is this palace." ”
"You're not entirely right... But for the most part, Alexander wanted the palace as a stopgap measure, and I guess he wanted to stabilize the situation by capturing the palace. But speaking of which, I'm still a little worried that these two guys will fight and it won't be good if they get damaged. ”
"Alright, don't gossip! Now it's not about Alexander and Hazard, it's about what we should do now," Nanhua reminded.
"Now it's time to rush Zirax and Surin, their tens of thousands of main forces, I don't know when they will get here. Mu Jing interjected.
Nanhua, Zhang Bai and Dao Lao nodded together, "Then send another fast horse and continue to urge." "Nanhua Road.
"One more thing!" Zhang Bai also reminded: "It's the problem of food, that Azar burned down Sega Mansion, and now he is going to rob the palace again, and he can't stop it, and Peshawar's grain is about to be tossed by him." ”
"We don't have enough food ourselves, and we can't plunder like Adjara, if the main Parthian force arrives, it can solve it for a while, but after a long time it will be a problem after all. Inaro was worried, and it seemed that he had been paying attention to this issue for a long time.
"Surin has a lot of food there, enough for our army for a few months, and I think he has more food in stock. I've always been a little skeptical, where did the Surin family's wealth come from?"
"You don't care where his wealth comes from, in short, Su Lin is on the way," Mu Jing grabbed the white and said: "Since we have enough food, you don't have to worry blindly, every time you worry blindly, there will be countless incidents." ”
"I'm just worried that Surin won't be willing to hand over the grain obediently, and that's going to be a bad time. ”
"Sure enough, I'm worried, does he dare? If someone starves to death, I'll be the first to not let him go!" Mu Jing pouted, quite strong.
Dao Lao persuaded: "After all, Surin is his own person, there is no need to be like this, we can try to trade, Peshawar must have what Surin wants." “
"But this transaction is not easy!" Zhang Bai said with a sigh, "In addition to Surin, there are Alexander, Hazard, and some other uninvited guests. ”
"Is the uninvited guest a Sassanid?"
"And they, too! If only Princess Tolan were there. "Zhang Bai is like playing a dumb riddle.
Nanhua was a little impatient, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, what are we going to do next?" If there is nothing serious, I think it is best to collect the troops and find a comfortable place to garrison them. According to the old man's view, it is better to join forces with Solomon, and everyone will rest and recuperate, and then reason. “
Mu Jing was the first to agree, Zhang Bai thought about it and agreed, but Dao Lao suggested that he go to the palace to see the situation by himself.
Soon, inside the West City Gate, Solomon and Nanhua and others met.
The 3,000 camel cavalry were resting and eating, and Solomon, Nanhua, Zhang Bai, Mu Jing and others also ate dry food together, and talked about the situation in Peshawar while eating.
The most difficult thing is food, Solomon has already counted the forbidden army outside the door, and about 10,000 people have surrendered. These people are glazed-eyed, demoralized, with neither armor nor weapons, just mouths for eating.
"With so many people, what should I do if there is not enough food?" Solomon asked Mu Jing and Zhang Bai: "We came lightly, and there was very little food in the first place, but now there are so many captives who have surrendered, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it for ten days!"
Zhang Bai glanced at Nanhua and Mu Jing, and said to them proudly: "Look, I'm worried right!"
As a result, Nanhua's frown and Mu Jing's "Cut!"
He then asked Solomon, "When do you think Surin and Zirax will arrive?"
"There are a lot of them, and they have about two days to go. “
"In the past two days, it would be good if there was a mutiny among the soldiers in Peshawarbe!" Zhang Bai said worriedly.
"Otherwise, let these soldiers be disbanded on the spot?" Solomon asked Zhang Bai softly.
"I also want to disband them, but even if they do, it's useless, there are still more than 10,000 captives in the city!"
"What? and!" Solomon was stunned, this victory was big enough, but what to do in the future?"No wonder I heard that some people were robbing food in the city. ”
As he was talking, Dao Lao suddenly transmitted a voice from the palace, "Alexander and Hazard are facing off, the situation here is very tense, how about you come and mediate?"
Zhang Bai jumped up when he heard this, "I'll go, I'll go, let those two guys don't rush to fight, wait for me to come." ”
At the same time, he transmitted the message to Chen Cao, Zheng Xuan, and Huang Xian, and ordered them to fly above the palace to stand by in the apostle. Then, he immediately found two horses, said goodbye to Nanhua and the others, and took Mu Jing to the palace.
In the square outside the palace, Azar led the cavalry of the personal guard in a line, and behind the line were busy soldiers, shouting and moving things. Opposite him was the neat and imposing Roman Guards led by Alexander.
Azar rode in front of the procession and shouted to the Romans: "You are the army of Rome, why did you come to Kyoto of the Kushan Empire?
As soon as Alexander's horse moved, Eden noticed that the Roman army had only a small number of cavalry, five or six horses in total, and the rest were infantrymen.
The Romans fought mainly infantry, so the cavalry was often the children of nobles or wealthy families, and they were mostly commanders in the army.
It seems that Alexander is particularly extraordinary among them, and the color and style of his armor and cloak can be seen in the difference. What's more, as soon as his horse moved at this time, all the Romans around him looked at him and guarded him tightly, and it was not difficult to see the nobility of Alexander's status.
"I am Alexander, the Roman envoy to Peshawar. You're Hazard! I've heard of your name for a long time, and you're a good general. “
"You've won the award, you look like a noble nobleman, I'm just a rude military man who doesn't know diplomatic etiquette. One thing I would like to ask you is, as an emissary, how did you bring an army into Peshawar?" Azar asked.
Alexander didn't care, and said, "Oh! you don't understand.
The reason why I came to Peshawar was because I was invited by His Majesty the former Emperor Izuwat, and out of concern for my safety, it was the Emperor Izuwat who asked me to enter Peshawar with the Guards. ”
