Chapter 352 Target Nissa

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

The actions of Zhi Jinwu and Changshui Xiaoweibu caught Shen Gong off guard.

Shen Gong and other Guandong literature were almost wiped out this time.

Not only that, many of the doctors from Taixue were implicated because they supported Duke Shen in his fight for the position of scholar in the library.

The two schools of Gu Liang and Book of Songs, which were originally so powerful, were suddenly knocked back to their original shape.

Whether they can turn around after this incident depends on how the emperor and the general handle the matter.

The Gongyang School benefited greatly from this incident, and within a short period of time, no other school was able to challenge its status.



In the Xuanshi Palace, the emperor asked Huo Guang, "What does the general think we should do with this person?"

Huo Guang bowed and said, "This is the emperor's right. I dare not overstep it!"

The emperor shook his head helplessly, turned to Shangguan Jie and asked, "How does General Zuo think we should deal with it?"

Although Shangguan Jie wanted to compete with Huo Guang for power, he had no good impression of Guandong literature.

He thought for a while and said, "Previously, Marquis Yunyang came to report that the Han Dynasty had occupied Yucheng City...The King of Dayuan wanted to carry out Chineseization..."

"This batch of literary people can just be sent to Dawan Country!"

The emperor looked at Shangguan Jie in surprise. He did not expect that Shangguan Jie would propose to send people directly thousands of miles away.

"What do you think, Doctor Censor?"

After thinking for a while, the emperor asked Sang Hongyang.

Sang Hongyang had already formed an alliance with Shangguan Jie at this time, so naturally he would not oppose Shangguan Jie's proposal.

"I think General Zuo's strategy is very good!"

After hearing this, the emperor asked Che Qianqiu and Huo Guang, "What do the general and the prime minister think?"

Huo Guang still cherishes the word as before: "Good!"

Che Qianqiu objected, "Dawan is thousands of miles away. If we were sent here, most of us would die on the way..."

Shangguan Jie said at this time, "Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. The road from Shule to Dawan was completed half a year ago. Even Marquis Yunyang himself is in Dawan now..."

After hearing this, the emperor finally issued an edict.

"Shen X and others assassinated the ministers and the Yi clan... all the doctors from Taixue helped Zhou to abuse the great Yucheng..."

Only three days after the edict was issued, the implicated doctors and students of Taixue were escorted to Yucheng.

Then the emperor issued another edict appointing Du Ling as the library's academic director.



On the shore of the Caspian Sea, Nimi, King of Wusun, and Wujiitu, King of Wuchan, were hunting together.

After several years of development, Nimi has not only established a firm foothold here.

And with the help of Wujiitu, he has restored his Xiao Wusun headquarters to the size of 7,000 tents through various means.

During wartime, nearly ten thousand cavalry could be mobilized, and their combat effectiveness was not the same as in the past.

Although it is still far inferior to the Han cavalry, it is not much better than the ordinary Huns cavalry.

Ni Mi's status among the Huns has also improved a lot. Although he is not as good as King Yu Tuan and King Jiankun Li Ling, he can already be on an equal footing with King Huyan and others.

Wujiitu's Wuchao tribe also developed rapidly, and he conquered the barbarian tribes between Rehai and Caspian Sea.

On the one hand, he constantly sent people back to the Wusun land to attract Jihou, who was dissatisfied with Yuan Guimi, to join his Wuchao tribe.

Under his development, the Wuchao tribe has reached 6,000 tents and has nearly 8,000 cavalry.

This time the two of them went hunting on the shores of the Caspian Sea, but it was because Wujiutu was interested in the wealth of the city of Nissa and wanted to make a fortune.

The city of Nissa is located northwest of Ashgabat, the capital of later Turkmenistan.

It was originally the old capital of the Parthian Empire. Although the Parthian Empire has moved its capital to Ctesiphon, Nyssa is still one of the most important cities in the Parthian Empire.

"Brother, what are you thinking about it? Are you interested in capturing the city of Nanisa?"

After Wujiitu shot a wild deer with an arrow, he turned to Ni Mi and asked.

Ni Mi looked at Wujiitu in surprise, "Wujiitu, you are crazy. Do you know where Nissa is?"

Wujiitu said with concern, "Of course I know that Nisa is the old capital of the Parthian Empire, and the wealth in the city can be said to be countless!"

Ni Mi shook his head when he heard this and said, "Although Nisa is rich, he is also very hard-nosed. The walls of Nisa City are only three feet high and four feet thick..."

"Without powerful siege weapons, how many warriors would have to die before we could reach the top of the city...unless there were catapults from the Han army..."

Wujiitu smiled mysteriously when he heard this, "Since I have invited you to do this, I am sure of it..."

Ni Mi curled his lips and said, "Is there any way you can conquer Nanisa City?"

Wujiitu smiled and said, "I'll treat you to a beautiful treasure tomorrow!"

When Ni Mi heard this, curiosity arose in her heart, "What treasure!"

Wujiitu smiled mysteriously again, "Brother will know tomorrow!"

Having said this, without waiting for Ni Mi to react, he slapped his horse and ran forward.

Ni Mi smiled and shook his head when he saw this, and decided to believe Wu Jiutu.

He quickly hit the horse and ran towards the woods ahead.

After the morning meal on the second day, Wujiitu sent someone to invite him.

Ni Mi walked toward Wujiutu's camp out of curiosity.

Soon he arrived outside Wujiitu's camp.

At this time, Wujiutu was already waiting at the door with his people.

There is an unexpected person beside him.

"Ni Mi has met the Right School King!"

It was Li Ling who appeared next to Wujiitu.

Ni Mi was quite puzzled by Li Ling's appearance here.

"I haven't seen you for many days, King Wusun. Are you still okay?"

Li Ling asked with a smile.

Ni Mi heard this and said bluntly, "Why does the Right School King have time to come to my Wusun tribe today?"

Li Ling then looked at Wujiitu beside him.

Wujiitu smiled and said, "This is someone's fault. This attack on Nisa City was actually the intention of the Right School King!"

After hearing this, Ni Mi asked, "Could it be that the mysterious thing was also brought by the Right School King?"

Wujiitu nodded, "Yes, it is with this thing that we have a chance to attack Nanisa City!"

Ni Mi was curious, "I don't know what it is, but it has such a great use?"

Li Ling smiled and said, "Since King Wusun wants to know, just come with Ling!"

"Such a thank you to you, Prince of Campus!"

Under the leadership of Li Ling, the three of them and their guards walked toward the back of Wujiutu's camp.

Soon everyone arrived in front of a large tent.

"The things are inside!" Wujiitu said and got into the tent first.

Ni Mi and Li Ling also entered the tent one after another.

"Catapult!"

Ni Mi looked at the items in the tent and exclaimed.

Li Ling nodded when he heard this, "Yes, it's a catapult!"

After Ni Mi calmed down, he asked, "Why is this catapult so different from that of the Han army in the Western Regions?"

Li Ling felt ashamed and said, "The catapults owned by the Han army in the Western Regions are also called counterweight catapults... Qiang Hu can't build that thing yet..."

"This catapult is a catapult commonly used by various countries in the pre-Qin period. Although it cannot be compared with the Han army in the Western Regions, it is still a powerful siege weapon!"

Wujiitu nodded and said, "What the right school king said is true, this catapult can also throw a huge stone of a hundred kilograms a hundred steps away..."
