Chapter 503 Disciple who betrays the Lord

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

"I wonder what the captain's orders are?"

Su Fei ordered his people to unfold the map and said: "As far as I know, the Wusun Zoroastrian Cult and the Kangju Zoroastrian Cult are actually one body... I give you three hundred cavalry, can you capture this place?"

Zhongli took a look at the map. It was a small village at the junction of Wusun, Kangju and Dawan.

"The captain wants to invade Kangju?"

Zhongli's expression changed and he exclaimed: "Kangju is a country as big as Guishang. If we fight with Kangju at this time, we may miss the emperor's plan!"

Su Fei smiled and said: "Marquis Zhong Jun is worrying too much. I will not take action against Kang Ju, at least not now!"

Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, why did the captain order to seize this place!"

Su Fei said: "Of course it is to cut off the Kangju Zoroastrian Cult's support to Wusun!"

Zhongli nodded and said: "In that case, I will lead the troops and set off now!"

Su Fei waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, don't scare the snake, we will set off again in three days..."

…

After some interrogation, the high priest revealed all the plans of Zoroastrianism like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.

"Captain Su, this is the confession of the great priest!"

Li Ke was indeed a professional, and he quickly compiled the confession of the high priest and handed it over to Su Fei.

Su Fei took a look at the confession and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The plan of the Zoroastrian Cult was exactly what he had guessed before.

They plan to launch a coup in Wusun first and take control of Wusun.

Then he relied on the power of Wusun State to capture Kangju.

After controlling the two great kingdoms of Wusun and Kangju in this way, the Zoroastrian Cult, with an army of 200,000, had the power to challenge the Han Dynasty.

If the Han Dynasty recognized Zoroastrianism's rule over Wusun and Kangju, then the status quo could be maintained.

The two countries will still respect the Han Dynasty and will still be the lackeys of the Han Dynasty.

If the Han Dynasty does not recognize Zoroastrianism, the two countries will form an alliance with Parthia and the Xiongnu to fight against the Han Dynasty.

Zhongli asked at this time: "What is the intention of the Zoroastrian Cult, Captain!"

Su Fei chuckled, and then handed the confession to Zhong Li and Li Shuo.

The two of them came together and looked carefully at the high priest's confession.

"Haha, this Zoroastrianism is really whimsical!"

Li Shuo said contemptuously.

Zhongli gritted his teeth and said, "It's really a wolf's ambition!"

When Su Fei heard this, he said indifferently:

"Your Majesty has long said that, whether it is the poisonous Shamanism, the Zoroastrianism that originated from Persia, or the Judaism that is further west...

"They are all countries with great ambitions to establish the unity of politics and religion... It is no surprise that Zoroastrianism has such a plan!"

…

When the news about Su Fei was sent to Guo Kai, the news that the great priest of the Zoroastrian Cult was captured by the Han army also reached Hana and Suolo.

"What should we do now Hana?"

When Zoro heard about the high priest, he panicked and hurriedly came to find Hana.

Hana had been hesitant before, but what happened made him firmer.

He calmly said to Solo: "At this time, the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired..."

Zoro was convinced by Hana, and the two immediately gathered their troops.

That night, the two men led 20,000 cavalry and attacked the royal court.

When Princess Jieyou and Yuan Guimi decided to establish "Taoism" as the state religion, they considered the possibility of rebellion by domestic Zoroastrian believers.

That day, Princess Jieyou also understood through testing Hana that the Zoroastrian Cult would definitely raise an army.

Therefore, Hana and Zoro's plan to raid the royal court did not come to fruition.

As soon as Hana and his two men sent out troops, the royal court received the news.

Later, Princess Jieyou ordered the troops to retreat to the Chu River in the name of Wusun Kunmo Yuangui Mi, and at the same time ordered all ministries to summon troops.

After Hana led his troops to the royal court, he found that the royal court had retreated and immediately led his troops to pursue him.

After Princess Jieyou and others arrived at Chushui, they immediately summoned troops from surrounding tribes.

On the second day of March in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Princess Jieyou and Yuan Guimi summoned 24,000 horsemen to meet the rebels in an area called Kaganda.

A fierce battle broke out immediately after the two armies met.

The Wusun Royal Guards have all been trained by the Han army and are equipped with Han army-style armor, so their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the rebels.

In the first battle between the two sides, the rebels were severely defeated, losing nearly 3,000 people.

Faced with such a disastrous defeat, the rebels had to retreat to Wild Wolf Valley.

On the eighth day of the third month of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Yuan Guimi personally led the army and pursued them to the Wild Wolf Valley.

Suolo personally led Wanqi to launch a counterattack against the royal army. The two sides fought for half a day, and the rebels were defeated again. Suolo had to retreat to the valley to hold on.

Yuan Guimi launched an attack on Yelang Valley, but Suo Luo relied on the terrain to hold on.

Three days later, the rebel general Hana came to the rescue with an army of 13,000, and the royal army was slightly defeated.

Yuan Guimi retreated five miles to camp and confront the rebels.

During the confrontation between the two armies, Su Fei, under Guo Kai's order, led six thousand Han cavalry and Yi Cong's three thousand cavalry into Wusun territory.

Just when Yuan Guimi thought he was sure of victory, a group of about a thousand cavalry appeared outside Yuan Guimi's stronghold.

"Why is Zak'ul here?"

Yuan Guimi asked in surprise when he saw the general leading the army.

"The Queen Mother is worried about Kunmo's safety, so she sent us to protect Kunmo!"

Yuan Guimi frowned and said, "You are here, what should I do with my mother?"

Zha Kun said: "Kunmo, don't worry, Mrs. Feng and Cavalry Commander Zhang Wan have returned to the royal court..."

Yuan Guimi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"That's it, let's arrange the troops and horses!"

"promise!"

Zakun said "Promise" and then went to arrange the troops and horses he brought.

Zha Kun was the captain of Yuan Guimi's bodyguard, so the troops and horses he brought were placed near Yuan Guimi's tent.

At the same time, Princess Jieyou in the royal court felt a little uneasy.

"Have you found Zakum?"

Princess Jieyou asked Mrs. Feng.

"Don't worry, Lord Chu, Zhang Wanqi has sent scouts to search!"

Princess Jieyou nodded and reluctantly let go of her uneasiness.

Zhakun was originally the adopted son of Weng Guimi, and he grew up with Yuan Guimi.

Princess Jieyou and Yuan Guimi trusted Zha Kun, so they made him the chief guard of Yuan Guimi.

A few years ago, Zakun joined the Zoroastrian Cult, which caused Princess Jieyou to dismiss him from his post.

It was not until he publicly announced his separation from Zoroastrianism that Yuan Guimi resumed his duties.

Normally, Zha Kun was very loyal to Yuan Guimi.

"Master Chu, we found Zakun!"

"So, where did Zakun go?"

"Reporting to Lord Chu, the captain of Zakun's bodyguard has led Qianqi to Kunmo's camp. I think he wants to help Kunmo!"

"Why did Zakun lead his troops to the Kunmo Camp?"

Princess Jieyou was shocked when she heard this, and a strong uneasiness suddenly arose in her heart.

"The Kunmo Guards are still in the royal court, where can Zakun get a thousand riders?"

As soon as Princess Jieyou said this, Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the unusual things about Zakun in the past few years.

"Master Chu is not good, this Zha Kun wants to rebel!"
