Mithridates II, sitting on the throne in the palace, his heart was turbulent, but his face was like a peaceful lake, and he did not show joy and anger on his face because of the defeat of Parthia.

But his heart was actually very heavy.

He always felt that he would become a great and wise monarch.

The history of the Parthian Empire.

He has only been on the throne for four years, but he has already done a lot to quell the civil turmoil, straighten out the ironclad army, adjust taxes, and stabilize the people's hearts and minds at an astonishing speed.

Two military reforms allowed the ironclad army to sweep away the nomadic tribes that were originally a great threat to northeastern Parthia.

Doing this in three or four years has made his position extremely stable and has absolute authority in the hearts of his subordinates.

He is leading Parthia on a glorious path.

However, difficulties came head-on like a huge wave.

The Han Kingdom in the east allowed him to return to the throne for a while.

It has been four months since the two countries went to war.

If you count the initial troops to occupy the Otsuki clan, the time will be even longer.

He recalls the initial situation from the beginning.

Han was at war with the Xiongnu.

And the Xiongnu were a powerful nomadic empire that once drove out the Great Moon clan.

Han, who had also been pressed at one time, couldn't raise his head.

In order to deal with the Xiongnu, the Han sent the main force of the Dayue clan to fight.

The vast land of the Otsuki clan is like a piece of land that you can put in your mouth, and you can eat a delicious meal in your mouth as long as you move a knife and fork.

Mithridates II was moved, and decisively ordered the troops and horses to advance, expelled the Han army, and occupied the Dayue clan, killing thousands of Han troops who refused to retreat in the process.

Even if he did it again, Mithridates II would still make the same choice as last time.

So what's the problem?

Mithridates II was square and undulating, and his three-dimensional face was slightly frowned.

He glanced at the others in the temple.

At this time, there were many people sitting under him, and the composition was complex.

Bhutto, who withdrew his troops from Mulu City and returned to the national capital, as well as his commander Tius and Cardinal Mista.

On the guest seat opposite them was an old man with a thin face, a slightly curved nose, long hair in a bun, and a gloomy face.

He said that he was in charge of the army, and that he had taken off his veil for the first time because of his presence with the Parthian lord.

But the specific identity, whether he is in charge of the army, is difficult to determine, because no one has seen his true face before.

In addition, there were three other people, one of whom had traveled thousands of miles from afar.

The other is Wan Ruo, the Guishan remnant of the Otsuki clan.

There is also Zhao Xin of the Huns.

In the last battle between the Han and the Xiongnu, Zhao Xin did not participate at all.

He ran earlier than everyone else, and he was also acquiesced in by Yi Zhixian and the Great Shaman.

At that time, the situation of the Xiongnu was unbearable, and it was impossible for Yi Zhixian and the Great Shaman to have no preparations at all, and the two had instructions to Zhao Xin before.

After the complete collapse of the Xiongnu, the remaining Xiongnu people all had a kind of panic that the world was so big that there was no place for them.

Zhao Xin followed the northernmost route, all the way west, to Parthia, because Parthia was also a powerful country and was at war with the Han.

In the name of knowing the truth of the Han army, Zhao Xin threw himself into Parthia and relied on betraying the news inside the Han in exchange for a place to stay.

At this time, only Zhao Xin's branch was left with a slight scale, with a total of more than 3,600 people.

There was also a young man who was only twelve or thirteen years old beside him, who was born in the Su Yu clan and was named the Marquis of Su Yu.

He is also the third Xiongnu Shan Yu after the death of Yizhi Xian in history, the eldest son Wuwei, and the second son Lihu.

Yi Zhixie's final arrangement was to leave a trace of blood for the Xiongnu.

Zhao Xin's evacuation was to let him escort Hou Hou away.

Now, the forces opposite the Han enemy are scattered in Parthia.

"What were the direct losses of our men during the months-long fighting?" Mithridates II asked.

Bhutto said in a deep voice: "The ironclad army has lost a total of 10,724 people, and more than 49,000 other troops have been killed, and the number of wounded has doubled. ”

Mithridates II's heart sank.

The total number of ironclad troops was only more than 36,000, and almost one-third of them were defeated, which made him feel more distressed than the casualties of nearly 50,000 other soldiers.

"Honorable Parthian lord, we all have a deep grudge against Han.

The Han soldiers are sharp and brave, and we act together, so that all parties can save their own consumption. The old man who claimed to be the commander of the army said.

Mithridates II wore a crown on his head and his eyes were clear: "The hurt and humiliation that Han inflicted on my Parthia, all Parthians will not forget. ”

……

Zhao Xin and the others finished their negotiations from the Parthian palace and returned to their temporary residences in the royal capital.

He entered a main hall and sat alone in his seat, lost in thought.

Now as long as he shows his head, Han will be killed.

And because he had defected from Han in the past, it was impossible to return to Han again, because there was no most basic trust.

Since you can only be the enemy, then fight the Han to the end with all your strength and borrow all your strength...... Zhao Xinxin's head rose and fell, and he whispered:

"If you want to deal with Han, you must first kill Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, and if you can't do it on the battlefield, you will encourage Parthia, and the people of the poisonous Buddhism will send dead soldiers, assassinate, poison, and do everything......"

Zhao Xin's expression was gloomy.

At the moment of non-death, you can kill the opponent with all your might, and you will have a chance to survive.

He thought for a moment, and was about to go to Wan Ruo of the Otsuki clan first.

These forces gathered in the Parthian capital to seek an alliance, with him and Wan Ruo being the weakest, were almost wiped out by the Han army, and they were cornered.

Zhao Xin intends to form a closer alliance with Wan Ruo and advance and retreat together.

The guest house where Zhao Xin lived was the place arranged for him by Parthia, the courtyard of the two entrances.

Then a Parthian servant came in at the door, carrying a wooden tray, and came to bring water.

Zhao Xin glanced at the servant, still thinking about things in his mind.

The servant poured water into a cup and placed it on a wooden table beside him.

Zhao Xin raised his hand to take it, and at this moment, the servant suddenly burst out, flicked his fingers, and his fingers jumped out of agility, like lightning.

Zhao Xinbing's ability is okay, but his personal cultivation has not yet entered the realm of heaven and man, and he was flicked on the head by the other party.

With a snap, a wave of energy seeped into the brain, and the brains were shattered.

But there is no injury on the outside.

Zhao Xin's expression was horrified, and he was not prepared for the attack in front of him.

He was in the Parthian capital when he was suddenly attacked and killed.

Naturally, the servant reached out to his face, closed his frightened eyes, and made him lie on the low seat.

From the outside, Zhao Xin was uninjured, as if he was lying on a low mat and pretending to sleep because of sleepiness.

The assassin killed someone, but he came out of the main hall with a wooden tray unhurriedly, walked around the mansion, and soon got rid of the Marquis of Zhu also cleanly, and was ruthless.

At this point, the last bit of bloodline of the Xiongnu clan has also been cleared.

The assassin then left, and walked leisurely into the street, passing through the door, and at first glance he was a veteran, murderous, and his heart was amazing.

The routes he took in and out, including the front and back doors of some shops, not to mention that no one followed, even if someone did, they would be thrown off.

When this man finally came to a large mansion, he had already changed into another outfit, and even his face and body had changed.

When he came in, in the main hall of the mansion, he saw a big fat man with a very fat body, flirting with a delicate woman.

Seeing him come in, the big fat man waved his hand and let the woman go down.

When there was no one in the hall, the big fat man got up and said with a smile: "Vice History Cao." ”

The assassin who killed the murderer was actually Cao Cun.

Their entourage, together with Sima Qian, was ordered to go to the body poison to get rid of the people in charge.

When he arrived at the body poison, he chased him all the way, and took over with Huo Quzhi during the period. Then he contacted Luo Xiu, entered Parthia, and continued to pursue the commander.

The big fat man opposite, whose real identity is the brother of a concubine of Mithridates II, has neither a high nor a low status in Parthia.

Right now...... He is Luo Xiu.

Huo Qu's illness allowed him to take root in Parthia, and he found a very suitable identity disguise for himself, free from the core layer, but able to touch the core layer, a very subtle identity.

————

The study in Chang'an.

The emperor, Wei Qing, Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Tang, the old prime minister, and Huo Quai, who had just returned.

The top-level structure of the core of the current Han Dynasty.

In front of the emperor's low seat, the social map was completely unfurled.

At this moment, the social map is full of fairy light.

In addition to the manifestation of the mountains and rivers of the vast land of Shenzhou, the map also includes the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Buyeo, the counties of the Western Regions, and the Dayue clan.

There are several special locations in the vast area on the map.

One is Chang'an, the place where the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty converge, which looks like a purple ocean from the map.

There is also Mount Tai, which is surrounded by five-colored divine light.

Kunlun Mountain, ancient charm pervasive.

The two major water veins of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are like swimming dragons.

The other is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, shrouded in a fog of chaos that makes it impossible to see any specific contents.

Under the land of Shenzhou, there is a thick ancient, looming dark yellow, but it is also impossible to see the specific form.

"Half a month before you came back, the changes in the Sheji map stabilized, and I discussed with several Qing families, the dark yellow color in the depths of the Shenzhou leyline in this picture may correspond to the ancestral dragon." The emperor himself opened his mouth to explain.

On the Sheji map, within the scope of the land of Shenzhou, there are still a few places in the form of chaotic air masses, slowly swirling.

"What are these ancient chaos?"

"It's still evolving, it's not fully presented, I don't know what it is.

I am a vast land of China, ancient inheritance, 10,000 years of cultivation, and there are not a few mysteries. ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "Prime Minister Gongsun and I, we have read countless ancient books during this time, but we have no clue about the changes corresponding to these chaos. ”

The last change on the social map is the four poles mentioned in the first emperor's handwriting, and Huo Qubing has seen several times in the past.

The four bronze pillars.

In the four directions corresponding to the southeast, south, and west, the visionary phantom of the bronze giant pillar appeared in the east, south, and west!

Not in the north.

The bronze pillars in three directions are like pointing to the Tianshen Mountain, and they are hazy in the mist on the map.

Judging from the picture, the three bronze pillars seem to be engraved with thousands of creatures, people, demons and witches that existed in ancient times, and even countless legendary creatures, dragons and phoenixes.

There is also the ancient cult of celestial bodies, countless stars.

These bronze pillars are full of mystery.

Emperor Qin's handwriting said that the answer is in the Sheji map, which should be related to this bronze pillar.

Huo Quai's illness thought while watching: Judging from the picture, the manifestation of the giant pillar on the west side is also quite illusory.

If the copper pillar needs to break the country, it can disappear only if it increases the luck of Shenzhou... Then the copper pillar on the west side is illusory, and it should correspond to the annexation of the Western Regions.

This copper pillar is illusory but still exists, probably because there are still some tribes in Xiqiang, which have not been completely surrendered, and the borders cannot be connected, so it has not completely disappeared.

The body poison on the south side is close to becoming a colony of the Han Dynasty, and the bronze pillars are also hazy.

Only the bronze pillar on the east side is unusually clear.

To the east of Hantu, what is the correspondence?

At this time, the emperor pushed out a little purple qi of national fortune and sent it into the picture.

With a buzz, the three bronze pillars in the social map flickered and disappeared.

Several locations in Shenzhou, Mount Tai, Chang'an, and the Imperial Tomb, have also changed, and the qi is in rhythm.

"I discussed with the general, Dong Fuzi and others, these copper pillars don't know what they mean, but the qi and all over Shenzhou echo.

I want to see if the Xiqiang tribes and the few small countries in the east are all included in our Han land, and whether there will be any changes on the map. The Emperor said.

Huo Quzhi thought that His Majesty, his uncle and others also thought that the accumulation and increasing of Shenzhou's luck was the key, and after further swallowing the Xiqiang and other tribes, as well as several small countries in the east, there would be corresponding new changes in the social map.

"I have sent envoys to the east to announce the arrival of several small and remote countries to meet the ministers.

If he refuses to allow it, the general will send a border army nearby to force him to come to the court. ”

The Emperor said, "I would like to know what it means that the social map shows so many changes. ”

According to Emperor Qin's handwriting, the answer is to sweep the four yi, and after the four poles are lifted, the Zen will be sealed again, and the national fortune is likely to have a leap outbreak...... Huo Qu was sick.

"The remnants of the Xiqiang tribe are in charge of the disease, and let them enter the Han Dynasty as fast as possible."

"The minister commands." Huo went to the sick road.

After some discussion with the emperor and others, Huo Qubing received the reward for this expedition, and when he returned home, it was already evening.

The daughter-in-law came to greet him in person, her face was full of joy, and she threw herself into his arms without any scruples.

Liu Qing's long eyelashes were lightly closed, and the soft hair full of fragrance swept on Huo Quai's neck like a spring willow, and his eyebrows and eyes were moist.

It's going to be a sleepless night of trying to survive in the cracks.
