He had already prepared for the worst, and even when he heard the emperor talking about his defeat of the Maurya Kingdom, he had already accepted his fate.
However, what happened next was something he had never thought of.
At that moment, he seemed to have lost consciousness and became unable to speak. He just looked at the emperor blankly. In his life, he had never been treated like this by a noble.
No matter how many achievements they have made and they have climbed out of the dead again and again, no matter how loyal they are, their attitude will always be condescending. No one will ever think highly of them, not even the vendors selling goods in the city.
Look down on him, a low-caste general.
In the eyes of this Han emperor whose status and strength were a hundred times, perhaps thousands of times, that of those nobles, Aledoja could not see the slightest bit of contempt. He treated him just like his friend, even
He also patted him on the shoulder, which made Aledoja tremble all over and dodge away as if he was electrocuted.
Liu Chang looked at him suspiciously, "Injured?"
"If I am not a humble person, I would not dare to have contact with you."
"Fart, I know that all those dog guys sent people to rob and kill the merchants of my Han Dynasty, but you didn't. You even secretly let a few go. Compared to those dogs, you are much more noble. Let me tell you, in the Han Dynasty
, we don’t look at who he is, we look at what he has done. If he does something noble, then it is noble. If he does something despicable, then it is despicable. I will tell you these things later. I ask you, there are you guys behind.
The army?”
The reason why Liu Chang launched the raid was because the actions of the Baicheng people completely angered him. He originally just wanted to teach them a lesson and let them grow their brains, but after they broke into the Peacock Kingdom's city, they looted and killed the local Han merchants.
But he couldn't accept it. Liu Chang immediately rejected the suggestion of letting both sides suffer before attacking, and directly led his men to do this nonsense. Liu Chang was not reckless. He investigated the enemy's situation from the merchants in advance.
From their mouths, they heard about this Aledoja many times. He was the only general who did not participate in the plunder and even secretly helped them.
Liu Chang decided at that time that even if he met the man named Aledoja on the battlefield, he would have to spare his life. Liu Chang had always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.
Unexpectedly, this man was not only an outstanding general, but also very smart. He directly kidnapped the king and surrendered.
In fact, in the Han Dynasty, it was a very bad behavior to kidnap one's own king to surrender. Even the enemy would not tolerate such behavior, for fear that the people around him would imitate him, but Liu Chang didn't care, the king didn't treat you as a human being.
If you don’t tie it up, can you still keep it for the New Year?
After Liu Chang found out the opponent's situation, he deliberately waited here for them to approach, and deliberately killed them when they were exhausted after being on the road for a long time. Sure enough, a hundred people were killed in a huge defeat, and now the captains of each department are leading
The cavalry pursued and killed Baicheng, and Baicheng suffered a devastating disaster.
Aledoja answered Liu Chang's question seriously. He was very familiar with the situation of Baicheng, maybe even more familiar with it than their king. After all, he was doing practical things.
Liu Chang listened to his words carefully. King Bai Cheng was lying aside in despair, looking at Liu Chang with eyes full of fear and regret.
But Liu Chang ignored him at all. Liu Chang gave him a chance, but he went too far. He waved his hand, and someone dragged Bai Cheng Wang away from here.
While the two were asking and answering questions, an equally tall general came over with a big smile.
"Your Majesty!!! Hahaha, I captured six elephants! Enough to feed me for several months!"
The man walked up to Liu Chang and looked at Aledoja suspiciously, "Who are you?!"
Aledoja didn't know how to answer, but Liu Chang said: "This is Aledoja, the one who defeated the Peacock Kingdom before. He is now one of his own."
Xiahou Zao looked at the guy in front of him, stretched out his hand and punched him in the chest.
"You are the one who ruined our affairs, right? You made the captain so angry. I have lived for so long, and you are still the first person I have seen who dares to provoke the captain! I don't like you people.
But you are pretty good and quite capable, and I like people who are as capable as me!"
Aledoja's face looked a little frightened, "I didn't mean it. I..."
Xia Houzao grinned: "Don't be afraid, the captain is old. As long as you run fast enough, he won't be able to catch up with you."
Another general came and met this man.
Their attitude was very gentle. At first, Ali was a little scared, but from their tone, it seemed that they were all joking. They did not notice anything, and did not regard Ali as an outsider at all. The group started to discuss and continue in a noisy manner.
things that come down.
"Ale, what do you think? What should we do?"
Perhaps because his name was difficult to pronounce, Liu Chang directly called him Ali. Aledoja did not expect that Liu Chang would ask him what he thought, so he hurriedly replied: "Starting towards the north, there is a city very close. It only takes a long time to ride a horse."
You can get there in one day. One-third of the time of the Han Dynasty."
One hundred times a day is equivalent to one-third of an hour, which is approximately 0.66 hours? 40 minutes.
Liu Chang and everyone came to this city to rest and recuperate.
This battle was fought particularly beautifully. The Han army already had a crushing advantage. In addition, they were waiting for work. The army of a hundred times a hundred thousand was almost wiped out. They killed more than 30,000 people and captured more than 10,000 people.
The prisoners, and the rest of the materials seized, were even more numerous, and the most rare thing was that they captured almost all the kings of the small countries in the south, along with the generals. Zhou Yafu's subsequent pursuit was mainly aimed at these nobles, and they simply ran away
However, Zhou Yafu was captured in one fell swoop.
As for the losses on the Han army's side, they were really minimal. They won so quickly that the opponent didn't even fight back.
Liu Chang was sitting in the largest house in the city, with all kinds of meat in front of him. The generals were sitting around him, including Aledoja.
Aledoja's heart was beating constantly and he was restless.
He had never dined with the nobles.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. Everyone praised His Majesty's wisdom and ate meat. Aledoja was gradually infected by this atmosphere and stammered a few words to flatter the emperor, but Liu Chang did not buy it.
"You can't say what others have said!"
Aledoja smiled bitterly and said: "Unlike the generals, I didn't see His Majesty's heroic appearance. I saw Your Majesty knocking three people away and then ran away without even daring to look back."
"Hahaha~~~"
Everyone laughed, and Xiahou Zao even hugged Aledoja's neck, "It's not your fault, everyone who sees him has to run away. Didn't you see that when His Majesty killed the war elephant, the commander of the battle
The man in the elephant was stunned for a long time. As soon as he threw away his weapon, he turned around and ran away."
"I have always heard them say that Your Majesty is a living god. Only today do I understand the meaning."
The generals still have a good impression of General Baicheng, who has a Qi accent.
Liu Chang asked again: "The merchants I found all said good things about you. I want to know why you let those people go?"
Aledoja said seriously: "I have never seen the Han army, but I have seen the Huns. I heard that the Huns fled after being defeated by the Han army. At that time, I knew that the Han army could not provoke me.
I tried to persuade them several times but they refused to listen, so I could only let a few people go secretly. I let the merchants go, mainly because I was afraid of offending you. I thought that if we met on the battlefield in the future, I could save my life."
"Hahaha, yes, you told the truth and you regarded me as your king! It's a pity that you can't drink during the war. When we get back, we can drink together again!"
The atmosphere was very lively. Aledoja gradually completed the integration and began to joke around with Xiahou Zao.
After having a full meal, Liu Chang discussed important matters with everyone.
"I don't want to destroy Baicheng. The foundation of Baicheng has been destroyed, which is no different from destroying the country. I want the entire south to pay tribute to me. Those prisoners are the key. Things here can be left to Liu later.
Kai them, we have to deal with the peacock next!"
Liu Chang frowned, "This peacock is not a good thing, it's just a dog biting a dog!"
"I have to break into Fahrenheit City so that the Peacock King will never dare to make his own decisions again in his life. Are you familiar with Peacock?"
"familiar!!!"
"Very good, let's do this. I will leave the prisoners of Baicheng to you. You can pick your own confidants from among them. You can decide the personnel arrangement yourself. Form an army as soon as possible. I need to be familiar with the local army!
"
"I will take all the prisoners."
"That's right, it's up to you to do it! I'm not familiar with these people, and I don't know whether they're good or bad. Those who have hurt Han merchants will not be spared! Do you understand?"
"only!!"
"I'll give you two days!"
Aledoja woke up from his sleep and sat up. He was still a little dazed. With a different kind of excitement, he patted his face. This was all true. This was not a dream.
After living for so long, this was probably the happiest morning for him.
He couldn't tell what it felt like. It seemed that overnight, he came to life. All the negative things died along with his past self. He hurriedly got up. There was still a lot to do today.
Don't delay the matter!
He first released some of his former colleagues, more than sixty of them. These were all generals who had followed him and fought with him. They were all talented, but because of their background, they served as low-level generals.
When Aledoja was promoted, he was ready to ask them to help him achieve great things. They looked at Aledoja in amazement. Aledoja's behavior was simply unimaginable to them. Looking at their behavior,
With a frightened face, Aledoja did not laugh at them.
"I know you are afraid of breaking your oath to Brahma."
"But how have they ever kept their oaths? They swore to protect the people, to treat us well, and to do good deeds. Which one of them have they accomplished? We are obviously more capable than them, but we can never be trusted and we are
We are bullied. Even a vendor selling fake goods looks down on us!!"
"If you are willing to follow me, stand up and I will take you to follow another god."
"This god is merciful, merciful, benevolent, invincible, and he is alive."
"If you don't want to, just go home."
Everyone hesitated, but a dozen or so people stood up and looked at Aledoja with more determination.
Ali laughed and said, "Very good."
He looked at the others, but didn't say much. These people had never killed merchants. He waved his hand and let these people go.
Next, there are the nobles from various southern countries who are poisoned.
They were tied up with five flowers and knelt in front of Aledoja. Their eyes were full of fear, but also very angry. How could they be allowed to be judged by a low caste?
Ali didn't tolerate them, and pointed out a few of them, "He, he, he, he, and that one were dragged out and beheaded!"
The prisoners suddenly became uproar, no longer caring about caste at this moment, and began to beg for mercy.
"These people slaughtered the Han merchants, and it was useless to ask for mercy. It seems that you also drove away the Han envoys??"
Aledoja seems to be very good at dealing with these people.
"No!! No!! They were all bewitched by the King of Hundreds of Vehicles!!"
"We are ignorant and have offended the gods!!"
They were really scared. Liu Chang was a kind of miracle to them. Especially when Liu Chang killed a war elephant, they were completely frightened. This was not a mortal at all! It turned out that the rumors were true.
The emperor of Han was a god!!
Seeing these people begging for mercy in embarrassment, Aledoja shook his head, "No, if I forgive you, won't other countries follow your example and be disrespectful to the big man?"
"We are willing to submit!! We are willing to surrender!!"
Aledoja ordered them to be sent out. Dealing with such guys was just to hang them up.
He also selected the soldiers he thought could fight from among the captured soldiers, and assembled a total of two thousand troops. He put on the weapons and made personnel arrangements. His ability was good, and he completed it quickly.
Following Liu Chang's instructions, everything was done well.
Two days later, Zhou Bo led his army here to formally take over the prisoners here and prepare to arrange things in the south. Aledoja quickly came up with several suggestions of his own, all of which were aimed at these people. Liu Chang adopted
He received his opinion and wrote it down and gave it to Zhou Bo.
Because of his surrender, Aledoja received a title and became a chariot commander of the Han Dynasty.
The storm caused by this battle also quickly spread to various places. Hundreds of mighty counterattacks originally convinced all countries, but they did not expect that the Han army would come so quickly and even so violently. It was only a battle.
, the whole army was annihilated, especially Liu Chang's performance, which was passed down by those people orally. In the body poison with a strong mythical color, Liu Chang's behavior was obviously a miracle. According to their description, it was
A giant, bigger than a war elephant. He killed a war elephant with one stick. He was so powerful that no one could stop him. One man almost caused the collapse of the front army of more than 20,000 people.
These rumors are becoming more and more mysterious, causing a sensation in various places in Shendu.
Those small countries were particularly frightened and summoned their ministers to discuss how to please the Han emperor.
There are also people who are very happy, such as the Kingdom of Daxia. They are now officially renamed by the Han Dynasty as the Kingdom of Bass. The Kingdom of Bass has always been actively trying to establish diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, but they are unlucky.
On one side were the Huns, on the other were the Shendu people, and behind them was Anxi. The Han took the initiative to come to Shendu, which gave them hope of establishing diplomatic relations.
And the happiest one is probably the Peacock King.
The battle with the Mauryan King left him completely disheartened and he hid directly in Fahrenheit City, not daring to come out.
He seemed to be twenty years older, and he was trembling, and he no longer dared to say anything about regaining the largest territory of Peacock.
When he heard that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty came in person and crushed hundreds of people, he was so excited that he almost cried.
OK, well done!
The big man avenged me!
But when he heard that the Han army began to move in his direction, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Feng, I am loyal to Your Majesty! I obey Your Majesty's orders and never disobey them."
The Regicide sat carefully beside Feng Jing, no longer as arrogant as before.
Even Bai Cheng can fight against him. What kind of strength will a big man who crushes Bai Cheng have?
The Regicide didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
Feng Jing did not squint his eyes, but said calmly: "You two foreign kings have offended His Majesty severely this time. With His Majesty's temper, even if I come forward to persuade you, it may not be useful and they will come soon. If the king
If you can trust me, then I will order the city gates to be opened and go out to meet His Majesty in person. I will be polite and obedient, and perhaps Your Majesty will be able to pardon you."
The regicide was silent for a moment, "It's not that I can't trust your majesty. I'm just worried that your majesty will be deceived by the villain of Bai Cheng."
"Then your majesty can defend with all your strength and don't let your majesty enter the city. Once your majesty has conquered the city, there will be no need for villains to advise you. There will be no chickens or dogs left in the city."
"Are you still in the city?"
"Your Majesty will not pay attention to this, and neither will I."
The regicide turned pale and was silent for a long time. He finally gave up and said, "I will open the city gate."
The atmosphere in Fahrenheit City is very tense. Ever since the Baicheng people defeated them, the city has become like this, and it has never recovered. But now, the city is completely open, and the Mauryan King ordered it to be opened.
The city gates everywhere put away all city defense arrangements, and sent out six waves of people to receive them along the way.
The regicide himself also came out, ten miles outside the city, without any soldiers around him, only a group of nobles.
They stood here, trembling with fear, desperately waiting for their fate.
The ground trembled slightly, and the Regicide looked into the distance.
From the ground in the distance, a group of cavalry walked out. They were not fast and walked towards this side in a leisurely manner. The formation was very neat, and no one was left behind. Among them, Liu Chang
He is so conspicuous again, with a tall figure, a white horse and heavy armor, and a murderous look.
The closer this army gets, the more the waiting nobles can feel the terrifying momentum.
Liu Chang rode his horse and swaggered in front of these nobles. He lowered his head and looked at these people indifferently.
"I am the Emperor of Han Dynasty."
"His Majesty."
The regicide immediately collapsed and knelt before Liu Chang, crying bitterly.
