Chapter 6657 The final help
Masinde, who came out of the Beigui Mountains, actually never thought that he would betray the Kushan one day. Even though he had done something very terrifying when he was still young, at least when he was young, he did not think that he would completely cut off his ties with the Kushan Empire one day.
However, everything in his youth, with the years and the changes of people's hearts, Masinde eventually drifted away from the Kushan Empire. However, even so, Masinde still did not want to stab the knife when he left. For him, Kushan was the place where he gave birth to him and raised him, the place where he remembered him, and Fu Ward was also the old friend in his memory. With choice, he was still as close as possible.
"Did you choose this opportunity from the beginning for this day?" Fu Ward sat in the main seat as if he understood something, quietly looked at Masind.
"Yes, I was willing to implement this plan at the beginning to completely cut off my own constraints while doing the last thing for Kushan." Masinde had no intention of hiding it. It was time for the showdown. If Fu Ward pretended to be stupid, there might be a period of buffering, but since Fu Ward asked, there was no need for Masinde to lie.
"I am the step you prepared to advance?" Fu Ward asked in depression.
Masinde shook his head, "You don't have to do this. You know my ability. It doesn't matter whether you have advanced to the level or not. As long as I am still me, there is nowhere in the world."
Fu Wold was speechless, and then looked at Masinde. He knew that Masinde was telling the truth. More than 20 years ago, they had witnessed Masinde's ability, and the Tibetan area can now operate smoothly and support Fu Wold's food and grass logistics. It is Masinde. As long as this ability can be exerted, in Fu Wold's view, Masinde is definitely the top-level existence.
Unfortunately, Ma Xinde's fall was because the other party was too strong, so strong that it could really threaten the rule of the Great Yuezhi, so Ma Xinde had to fall. Winning and losing was not just the calculations of Zhu Helai and others. At that time, even the noblest group of people were at most watching in this matter, and most of the Great Yuezhi nobles had to push Ma Xinde's downfall.
Who made Maxinde not the royal family of the five branches of the Great Yuezhi, and even the original family of the Great Yuezhi. How could a mere conquered seed scattered seed control such abilities?
"Fu Ward, come with us. What can you do if you go back now? You should be very clear about the situation of the Kushan Empire." Assam looked at Fu Ward and said.
If Fu Ward surrenders to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty will definitely be willing to give the other party a decent person. Moreover, a heavyweight general and school leader will also benefit the general and school under his command, and they will even lose the position of marquis. So after Masinde spoke, Assam also spoke immediately.
"I know what Kushan is like." Fu Ward waved his hand, but he didn't even look at Assam. Even though he knew very well, Assam was considered a very excellent general, but Assam, who stood next to Masind, was at most a guard.
"What price did the Han Dynasty offer you?" Fu Ward stared at Masind and asked.
"It is probably to allow me to use my abilities at will. In fact, this is not important. What is important is to find a place suitable for retirement." Masinde thought for a while and said.
When Fu Ward heard this, he snorted coldly, "Masinde, you will follow me to return to Kushan now, and the Kushan Empire will also allow you to use your abilities at will."
Masinde laughed when he heard this, but did not deny Fu Ward's words, because this is the fact. Why did he choose to exile him instead of directly executing him? In addition to the auspicious talisman of Awende, another point is that Kushan still has some covetousness about Masinde's ability.
To put it bluntly, I was afraid of Ma Xinde back then because Ma Xinde was only in his forties. Even if it took a waste of time to discover and cultivate, twenty years have passed, Ma Xinde was enough to have a lot of talents all over the world and then shake the Kushan territory. But now Ma Xinde is already seventy years old, it doesn’t matter. He can live for another twenty years. Well, what can he do if he can live for another twenty years?
At this age, are you still thinking about overthrowing this country? It is impossible. Even if you think, those generals and civil servants who are cultivated by you who are willing to follow you will not be willing. After all, the danger is too great and the benefits are too low. Therefore, Masinde of this period can use his talents at will. This is the most funny thing in Fu Ward's opinion. This is the price offered by the Han Dynasty?
"Masinde, do you have to join the Han Dynasty?" Fu Ward sat in the main seat and looked at Masinde until the other party stopped laughing and asked again.
"Well, not only me, but Langarajan, and there will be Gumara in the future." Mashind nodded, and Fu Ward's expression became ugly at a visible speed. These three people were almost the most capable wise men of Beigui in the last era.
"Is Kushan so untrustworthy?" Fu Ward asked angrily.
"No, it's just that we think the Han Dynasty is more suitable for us to rest." Masinde replied softly, "At our age, we no longer have the ambitions we used to do. Selian called me at that time, and I was willing to fight with the Han Dynasty with him. It was just because I had owe a favor, and Selian fell down, and this favor ended here."
Fu Ward listened to Masinde's answer and recalled the experiences over the past few decades. In the end, even he had to admit that even if Masinde chose to surrender to the Han Dynasty, he could understand it in the eyes of a Kushan general who was not extremely radical.
"The northwest cannot go. Even if you use methods, you cannot take the elites you brought back like before. If the Bactra Mountain City is still there, you can still bet, but now..." Masinder looked at Fu Ward calmly, "You should have known the power of the Han Dynasty very clearly in the past few years. While the war begins, you maintain domestic stability."
"I can't betray these subordinates I brought myself to." Fu Ward shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, they will definitely not have any trouble. There are no guards in Fu Ward's headquarters, but only the Han family." Ma Xinde said calmly, "In recent years, I have been traveling between Chang'an and Zangzhou from time to time. Every time I go there, I will bring some backbone of the generals and school. Now I have convinced all the people who should be persuaded. Even if they have not made clear discussions, they have spontaneously connected them."
Masinde did not specifically blockade of information on Fu Ward, but the Kushan generals who were gradually conquered by Masinde spontaneously blocked Fu Ward at the information level, which is also the reason why Fu Ward's eyes and ears gradually failed.
If Masinde plays Fu Ward alone, there will inevitably be flaws, but when the backbone of the entire army spontaneously cooperates with Masinde to play Fu Ward, how can Fu Ward see the flaws?
"I'm really a failure." Fu Ward sighed.
"Let's go together." Masinder raised his hand and said to Fu Ward. Although he felt that Fu Ward's agreement was not very likely, he still had to do something to try, even if he was rejected.
"I refuse." Fu Ward said very formally, "Even if you and Assam join forces to kill me here, I will not surrender to the Han Dynasty."
"If you are willing to lead troops to surrender, at least there will be a marquis. Maybe you can see the princess every day." Masinde held Beigui's biggest obsession and poked Ward's air pipe.
"How is the princess?" Fu Ward didn't answer and asked another question instead.
"It was a video recorded during the court meeting. It was a document officially transferred by the Han Empire. It was used to let the people know the top leaders of the country, understand national policies, and avoid cheating from middle-level people. But for you, it is a prop that can be seen what the princess looks like." Ma Xinde was not surprised. Even if Fu Ward did not surrender, it was normal to have obsession with the princess.
After all, Masinde walked over and handed the secret magic mirror to Fu Ward. This thing was actually the complete version of the images distributed by Yin Luo to Kushan.
This thing was made at the beginning to popularize the policies of the senior Han Dynasty. Because of the Jizhou case and the Yanzhou case, Chen Xi felt it was necessary to let the bottom of the Han Dynasty understand what the senior Han Dynasty was doing and what policies were issued. With such a thing, it could at least increase the cost of middle-level deception of superiors and concealment and strengthen the country's ruling ability.
But this thing is just like the movie literacy that Chen Xi had conceived back then. It was made, and there were still too few people who could easily play it out.
But even if there are few, as long as there is one, and it is still being promoted, Chen Xi will most likely rely on this thing for subsequent literacy, but judging from the current optimization situation of Tong Yuan, Nandou and others, it is estimated that it will take some years to do it.
Fu Ward took the secret magic mirror, opened it and looked at the image of Liu Tong raising his hands and feet on the throne. He was somewhat disappointed. He had been in the Han Dynasty for so long, but it was only three or five days away from Chang'an when he was closest, but he still didn't see the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.
"Masinde, let's part ways." Fu Ward quietly looked at the secret magic mirror, and then spoke directly to Masinde. When he said this, his originally calm expression gradually became ferocious as his words.
"If you leave now, who can you take away?" Assam asked back.
Fu Ward looked at Masinde. Even though Masinde had installed countless men in his army and even his personal guards were corrupted, it did not mean that everyone agreed with Masinde's plan. The simplest point is, Fu Ward believed that even if the generals and soldiers he brought out did have some other ideas, in addition to those who really chose the Han Dynasty, there must be some waiting for his voice.
"Then take away the generals and soldiers who are willing to follow you." Ma Xinde said calmly, "I will not force them to stay, nor will I let them follow you specifically. I just provide them with another choice. Only by joining willingly can I be my own."
"I will even control them to not have conflicts with you." Masind said softly, "But, after you do this, there is no room for reversal, because if you do this in front of everyone, choosing the generals of the Han Dynasty will give birth to a shame, and this shame will lead to a journey when you leave, but when you come back, you will be the enemy."
Fu Ward was silent for a while when he heard this, but he still made his own choice decisively. However, just before he spoke, Masinde interrupted what Fu Ward wanted to say.
"Don't speak now. Now we are only a few of us, so we can still talk. Once it is announced, we will have to part ways. Fu Ward, I believe in your ability. As long as you speak, there will definitely be two thousand, three thousand, or even five thousand people following you, but have you ever thought about how to go back?" Masinder looked at Fu Ward very seriously.
"I have received your belief. You are still loyal to Vesutva I. In this situation, I chose the Kushan Empire. But Fuwad, you need to consider a little. How should other people go back?" Masind looked at Fuwad and replied seriously, "I won't stop you, but think about what you brought these people back to Kushan for."
Is it for your loyalty, for your own decency, or to prove that you still have this ability, or other possibilities, but no matter which one, Masinde said so directly that he just imagined how to withdraw the Fu Ward, who must fall into reality.
"If you think it through, let your personal guards come to me. I will not stop them. After all, the mortals in this world can be considered to be truly alive if they risk their death." Masinder looked at Fu Ward and spoke solemnly.
In Masinde's view, most people in this world actually don't know what they are doing in their entire lives. As long as anyone has a career that is willing to fight for his life and burn out, at least one day he can still smile when he falls in the coffin.
Success or failure is only one aspect. Such a career can at least prove that I have come to the world and prove that I have truly lived.
Therefore, Fu Ward chose to join the Han Dynasty with him. Masinde would happily help the other party solve all difficulties, and then join the Han Dynasty with decent attitude.
But if Fu Ward chose Kushan, Masinde would agree with the other party's choice. After all, people must have some obsessions to stand proudly in the world.
For Masinde, as long as Fuwad does not impose his beliefs on himself, he believes that he is loyal to Kushan, so Masinde must be loyal to Kushan. Masinde is still willing to communicate with Fuwad and end up with a decent ending.
The former is a comrade, and the middle is a shining belief. Only in the end is a waste. He comes with Assam to see what choice Moward will make. If it is the first two, everything will be good. If it is the third type, Masinde will kill Moward here.
It is true that Fu Ward is very good, but Assam is not a vegetarian either. With Masind's mental strength, he is likely to directly kill the other party. However, things have not reached this point, which is also a good thing for Masind.
Although the choice made by Fu Ward was not what Mashind thought that everyone would join the Han Dynasty, at least the choice made by Fu Ward was not considered a mistake.
"Masinde." Fu Ward sat in the main seat and watched Masinde leave. He knew very well that the other party had not said nonsense. It was difficult to leave the Tibetan area with the army now. It is different from the past. Whether it is going to the northwest, Yizhou, or Himalayas, it is impossible to leave.
The blockade in the northwest and Yizhou was destined to make it impossible for Fu Ward to break through even if he led the elite headquarters. After all, the scale of thousands of people is not small, and it is impossible not to leave any trace. As long as the trace is left, no matter whether it is the Yizhou army or the Liangzhou soldiers, as long as Fu Ward is surrounded, a mere 5,000 people, even if they are beaten, will be hammered.
What's more, even if you break through the blockade of New South Wales, you still have to face Wan Peng from the Pamir Mountains. That level is very sad. Even if you don't have three fools, you will have tens of thousands of people under your command, and there are a large number of Qiang people's auxiliary soldiers, it is very difficult to deal with.
Even though Wan Peng neglected to let Fu Wode break through and did not send Qiang people to pursue him and harass him, Central Asia and Kandahar were difficult to overcome, so there was basically no hope in the northwest, and there would be no difference between going to Yutian or Shule.
As for going to Yizhou, there is actually no difference in the difficulty coefficient. After all, there are too many ways to take in Yizhou, and the uncertainty during the period is too great. If you meet the main force of the Han army on the road, you will be like Ward, and you may not even be able to plug your teeth.
The only way to leave safely is to forcefully arrive at Wenga, and there was no armies stationed in the rear of the Han Dynasty on the way, and then on the day of arrival, they met the warship arranged by Mengkangbu on the coast of Wenga.
To be honest, if you have good luck and have agreed with Mengkangbu so that Mengkangbu can appear there on time, there is indeed a possibility of leaving this road.
But Mengkangbu's current situation is so stared at by the Han Dynasty. Once a large-scale dispatch is launched, Kunwu will quickly send information to various places and the coastal areas will be prepared. Therefore, it is basically impossible for Mengkangbu to arrive in the Bay of Bengal to wait for it.
Therefore, the route from Yizhou to Central and Southern is too much based on luck, and it is basically an unselectable route. In this way, the only option is to go to the Himalayas.
In fact, the Himalaya road itself is the evacuation plan prepared by Fu Ward himself. The problem is that Fu Ward has already reached the level of breakthrough after reliance on his zenith in recent years. How could the mere Himalaya snow cover stop Fu Ward?
But for the soldiers under Fu Wode, it would be too difficult to take the Himalaya path.
When the Little Ice Age was not very serious, the Silk Road did have a passable gap in the Himalayas, which could reach Daxia directly. This was also the business road map given to Chen Xi by Wu Yuan, but now, because of the Little Ice Age, that road is completely covered by ice and snow.
Considering the thickness of the snow cover in the northern foothills of the Himalayas, the extreme environment to face through the gap, and the likely avalanche problems, except for a few people under Fu Ward's command, no one expected to go here.
Just like after Guo Jia and Guan Yu walked along the southern foot of the Himalayas and attacked Peshawar, they planned to see if they could go to the Tibetan area and directly capture Kushan's old waist. However, they found that due to the influence of the ice age, the mountain road that could have been taken was now buried directly by snow. In addition to the top fairy veterans who could force their way through, the regular army basically did not expect it, and hundreds of fairy veterans went to do this...
To be honest, unless you are absolutely sure, Guo Jia will not bet at all.
"Mashind was probably waiting for me to say that. The thousands of soldiers who were willing to believe me and follow me were my bondage." Fu Ward sighed and quickly understood Mashind's intention. He could go back without taking the soldiers, but he could not go back no matter how hard he brought the soldiers.
But if Fu Ward was asked to throw this group of people here, how could I say? Before saying that, Fu Ward could do such things, but when he said that, he truly realized that these people were waiting for his orders and his choice, Fu Ward would not have thrown this group of people here as if he didn't know anything.
After all, if he abandons his brother who is willing to follow him to hell, how can he lead others to the light? Fu Ward chose to show off with Masind in order to save Kushan, save his country, and his friends and subordinates, but for this choice, he turned his back on his friends and subordinates, and he would not put the cart before the horse.
This is also because after Masinde told Fu Ward the facts, he stopped talking and instead let Fu Ward think about it himself - without these subordinates who are willing to fight for your ideals and your beliefs, you might as well join the Han Dynasty, bring these subordinates who believe in you and firmly believe that you can lead them to create the future. You will definitely not be able to return to the Kushan Empire, even if I don’t take action, you will die on the road.
No, maybe you won't die, but your men will definitely die.
This is the dilemma set by Masinde for Fu Ward, and it is also the final help for Fu Ward. For Masinde, as long as Fu Ward has not thought of overtaking his will on his head, no matter what Fu Ward chooses, he will give the other party the final help while setting up the dilemma, because only in such a dilemma, can the obsession and ideal Fu Ward be able to realize the obsession and ideal Fu Ward.
"It's very difficult, Fu Ward, you chose this path. There is only so much help I can give you. It can be regarded as the last help we can provide before we break up peacefully." Masind walked out of the palace of the Xiangxiong Dynasty and looked back. He could no longer see Fu Ward, and he said softly his reason, just as Fu Ward stood beside him.
If you can't even do such a thing and can't even get over such a test, what can Fu Ward do when he returns to Kushan? Why don't you die!
