The difficulty of passing through the Karakoram Corridor is there, and considering the blockade and pursuit by the Han Dynasty, going down this road will not only lead to ten deaths, but also almost to the extent of nine deaths, and this situation is not challenging.
This was clearly informed to the soldiers who were willing to follow. On the one hand, it was to feel sorry for these people's pursuit of Fulward, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent the army from directly collapsing when difficulties finally encountered.
There is no way, such difficulty is in front of us. If we don't say it, people's hearts will collapse, and they will drag Fulward to death together. After all, if you want to retreat alone, just take the direction of the Himalayas and fly back.
But since you have chosen to return to Kushan with your soldiers, you must be mentally prepared to lead your headquarters to be blocked. The battlefield is different from others. After the army is covered with clouds, even Fulward has no possibility of leaving alone.
So realistically speaking, choosing to lead the army back would be a life-threatening move for Fulward.
"It was only informed to the middle-level generals and colonels, but not to ordinary soldiers." Sidney told the truth. He knew the importance of this matter, but whether to inform ordinary soldiers, Sidney thought for a long time.
Still gave up.
"Gather everyone together, I'll inform them." Fulward was silent for a while, looked at Sidney and said, and then when Sidney left, Fulward spoke again, "Sidney, lead
If the army comes with me, even you will have to risk your life. With the strength of inner energy leaving the body, if you are surrounded by the army, you will only die."
"But General, aren't you the same?" Sidney said sideways.
"I led them to the Tibetan area, so of course I have an obligation to take them back. Even if this road leads to a narrow escape, I have this obligation as a general who leads them, but you didn't. You found a road specifically to inform
My, there is no need to take this risk." Fulward looked forward with his eyes, as if he had seen the blood and death along the way.
"Go back to the Himalayas. You are still young and have a greater future." Fulward warned Sidney, and Sidney smiled happily. The secret skills on his body naturally dissipated and transformed into
For the real look.
"Actually, there is really no need to think about me." Sidney said softly, "If you go northwest and end up here, you also know that I may not be willing to continue to follow Kushan."
As one of the four divisional commanders under Fulward, Sidney's status is similar to that of those under Barak. They are all pillars in the true sense. It's just that these pillars carry a certain belief and work day after day.
After the training on the day, facing the situation in the Kushan Essence Area, it was actually difficult to maintain the mentality of defending the homeland and the country.
"Isn't Oswin a very good general?" Fulward said, looking at Sidney.
"Yes, General Oswin is very good." Sidney nodded, "But I cannot accept the changes in Kushan, and I cannot accept this degeneration from top to bottom. If you are alive, I will follow you for you.
Kushan, go and realize that slim hope, but if you die on the road, then I will surrender to the Han Dynasty, general, please let me go with you."
Fulward looked at Sidney and said nothing. As a general who came from the Northern Guishan Mountains, he has an amazing will to a certain extent, but he is also extremely easy to be destroyed to a certain extent. Their beliefs,
Their long-cherished wishes are too clear and extreme, and they can no longer keep up with the times.
Signaling Sidney to leave, Fulward sat quietly on the throne. He could feel Sidney's self-destructive thoughts, but it was normal to think about it. The Great Yueshi moved southward into the Ganges River, completing the north-south merger.
For most Da Yuezhi people, this is a good thing, but for some people, it is basically equivalent to Da Yuezhi betraying their ideals.
And the Da Yuezhi who can realize this are all elites who truly cherish that unattainable long-cherished wish and have truly tempered it for decades, because only from their ancestors to themselves have always cherished this unchanging long-cherished wish, and have continued to do so.
Only by striving for it will you feel a sense of destruction when your beliefs collapse at the moment when they merge, and this is the case with Sidney.
"Where is the future of Kushan?" Fulward said with a bit of bitterness.
It only took a short time for the camel riders under Fulward to gather together. Although there were no camels because they were in the plateau area, these people were still considered elite.
Looking at the five or six thousand people standing in front of him, Fulward felt much better. Even though Masinde had done so many tricks, there were still so many people willing to follow him.
"Everyone, we need to evacuate the Tibetan areas next, just like when we risked death in battle to come to the Tibetan areas to buy time for Kushan." Fulward looked at the soldiers who were obviously a little black and red due to the plateau climate.
face, said seriously.
"In the past few years in Tibetan areas, we have successfully contained a large number of Han soldiers for the Kushan Empire. But now, as the situation changes, we need to return to the country to use our power more effectively." Fu Wo.
De simply informed all the soldiers of what was happening now, and after hearing these things, the Kushan soldiers standing there were basically unmoved.
"When we first ascended to Tibetan areas, we relied on the deployment of manpower from Khotan and Shule and caught the Han army by surprise, so we were able to successfully enter Zhangzhong with very little loss and become entrenched in Tibetan areas.
But this time we retreat, we need to face the Han Dynasty's pursuit and interception. This journey may be a narrow escape!" Fulward's deep and solemn voice reached everyone's ears, without any concealment.
"Masinde has chosen to join the Han Dynasty. I don't blame him. Even I, from a neutral perspective, have to admit that it is indeed our Kushans who have failed Masinde. What he did is not only for Kushans, but also for Kushans."
As far as we are concerned, we have done our utmost to be benevolent and righteous." Fulward calmly told his soldiers the secret that should not have been told.
This time, unlike the previous news, Masinde defected to the Han Dynasty, which was a shock to the Kushan soldiers. The originally quiet school grounds became noisy.
After all, even if they were not familiar with Masinde before, these people are still very clear about how much Masinde has done as a military advisor in recent years. To put it bluntly, without Masinde, the Kushan soldiers would not have to eat.
He was thinking about whether he could eat enough, but the military advisor actually surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
"You are all brothers who are willing to follow me back to Kushan. I won't hide it from you. Masinde has also arranged a way out for the soldiers who are willing to join the Han Dynasty." Fulward said calmly, "Don't tell me.
This is a good way out, but at least I can guarantee that I won’t starve to death and live like an ordinary person.”
The noise in the school grounds became louder. What is the purpose of being a soldier? Isn't it just to have enough food? It is true that as a subordinate of Fulward, you have a brighter future. In addition, Fulward himself has also done a good job. The soldiers
They are also willing to trust and follow Fulward, but Masinde's performance in recent years is also a real influence. Masinde has already joined the Han Dynasty, so what do they mean?
"I'll give you a stick of incense. Those who want to follow me back to Kushan stand on the left. Those who want to follow Masinde and join the Han Dynasty stand on the right. The road back to Kushan is very difficult. You will really escape death. So you
I don't blame you for choosing to follow Masinde. In fact, except for you guys, the other soldiers have basically chosen to follow Masinde." Fulward said sincerely as he looked at the elite troops under his command.
As soon as these words came out, I was still thinking about whether to join the soldiers of Masinde. After hesitating for a moment, I walked towards the right side of the school field. Soon, one, two, ten hundred, even the elite of Fulward headquarters are now
In this situation, many people did not want to return to Kushan and chose to follow Masinde and join the Han Dynasty.
"What about you?" Fulward looked at the army that was divided into two parts at a ratio of almost 2:1, and he was somewhat relieved. At least in his own headquarters, most of the people were still willing to follow him. As a general, he didn't do too much.
It was too disappointing, and then my eyes fell on the few people in the middle.
"General, can't we stay in the Tibetan area and continue to struggle with the Han Dynasty? The Tibetan area is so vast, even if it is not as good as our Kushan Empire, there are still many places where we can move around. With some mountainous areas at our back, we can continue to fight with the Han Dynasty.
Unless the Han Dynasty has the ability to conduct a dragnet search of the Tibetan areas." The leading general looked at Fulward and asked.
The entire Qinghai-Tibet region is larger than many countries, and the terrain is complex, and there are many terrains to rely on. In this case, if they choose to hide and seek and fight guerrillas, it will actually be difficult for the Han Dynasty to solve it. After all, as long as Fulward does not
In a head-to-head confrontation with the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty actually had no good solution. If millions of troops were spread into this territory, they could only maintain a density of one square kilometer or one person. So from a purely logical point of view, this idea
no problem.
"It's unlikely. Our rule in the Shang Shung dynasty is being disintegrated. Without Masinde's help, it will be difficult for us to obtain enough supplies from Shang Shung, and the maintenance of the war requires a lot of logistics. Without
Without the Shang Shung dynasty and Masinde, there is no basis for continued maintenance just by relying on us." Fulward said with a sigh.
At this moment, Fulward figured out what Masinde had been doing in the past few years. I am afraid that guy had been considering joining the Han Dynasty since the Shangzang District.
Originally, Masinde did not have the political structure and organizational power to reorganize the Shang Shung dynasty. Although Fulward and others would have great difficulties in the early days, in the past few years, they had almost completely controlled Shang Shung, and by then they would be regarded as Han Dynasties.
Launching a general offensive, Fuwode can continue to hold on relying on the complex terrain of Tibetan areas.
But now, Masinde has defected to the Han Dynasty, which is almost a drain on Fulward. It seems that there is still enough food, and Masinde is also willing to provide logistics to Fulward, but when the change ends at a certain moment,
Fulward was directly cut off from logistics.
As a result, if Ward doesn't choose to leave before that moment comes, when things happen, it will be impossible to leave even if he wants to.
As for relying on the Shang Shung dynasty to continue to struggle in Tibetan areas and entangle with the Han Dynasty, it is even more impossible. Since Masinde chose to join the Han Dynasty, this matter has been impossible to happen. For Shang Shung
The mastery level of the dynasty is several levels higher than that of Masinde.
To put it a bit too much, for Masinde, the Fulward is just a clay and wooden sculpture on the table. He was willing to worship it before, so the flowers were all over the place, but now he is not willing to worship it. It is not a real god, but a clay and wooden sculpture.
do what?
Nothing could be done, the roots were already poked by Masinde.
Although he did not deliberately harm Fulward, and even to some extent he had done everything he could, but if he recalled it carefully, it became clear that Masinde had really done everything he could to do the best he could and was promoted to the top.
All the materials were prepared in advance, and they were prepared in front of Fulward.
"That's it." The general who was promoted from a veteran looked at Fulward bitterly. The nearly 100 middle- and lower-level generals standing in the center felt the most uncomfortable about this matter, because they followed Fulward.
De has faced the Three Idiots and fought against the elites of the Han army for many years. It is only right for them to continue to follow Fulward. However, Masinde's convenient guidance in recent years has allowed them to quickly transform from ordinary soldiers to
He climbed up to the middle and lower ranks of generals, and did very well.
Therefore, whether you choose Masinde or Fulward, it is very unfriendly to these people, because no matter which one you choose, it is equivalent to betrayal.
"You go and follow Masinde." Fulward was silent for a while and said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the middle and lower-level generals who were still in the middle were quickly divided into two groups. The same words would have different meanings to different people, and Fulward's free and easy farewell words sounded to some of the generals.
It is a threat, but to some people, it is the kindness of Fulward.
Therefore, the generals in the middle quickly integrated into the team they chose.
"Okay, if you are willing to follow Masinde's soldiers, you can leave." Fulward greeted the soldiers on the right. The soldiers bowed to Fulard and left quickly.
When these people left the school grounds, Masinde stood outside the school grounds and asked Assam to help receive these soldiers while also sending another part of the soldiers in.
Looking at Masinde who suddenly entered the school grounds with nearly a thousand soldiers, Fulward couldn't help but be stunned. He never thought that when he was about to take the oath and part ways with Masinde to choose their ideals, Ma Xinde
Cinder will lead the soldiers into the school grounds.
"Masinde, what do you mean?" Fulward said with a cold look. Different from the previous situation, now Fulward has entered the state. He must be responsible for these soldiers who are willing to continue to follow him, so
At this time, against his own beliefs and killing Masinde, there is a high probability that he will take action, as long as Masinde cannot give him a convincing reason.
"These soldiers are soldiers who are willing to follow you and have been brought to you." Masinde said calmly, "Although I can drag these people to join the Han Dynasty as long as I take them with me, they will remain after all.
There is a hidden danger. With Zhu Helai's ability, he will inevitably take advantage of this. I don't want to fight with him in this regard, after all, the people who will die are our own."
Fulward looked at the soldiers behind Masinde, was silent for a while, and asked Sidney to integrate all these people into his own headquarters.
"Sidney." Masinde suddenly threw something at Sidney, and then said, "Here is this for you. If you are in a certain death situation, give this thing to the other party. Maybe it can save your life."
.”
Sidney caught the seal thrown by Masinde and crushed it in front of Masinde. Masinde sighed softly and said nothing more. It was not a plot against Fulward, but
His eyes were not blind, so how could he not see Sidney's true intentions. The other party had long been unwilling to follow the Kushan Empire, and it was only because Fulward was still alive and still in Kushan that he continued to fight.
Just like Urdu and Salman, as Semen, as generals who were severely suppressed in their youth, they actually have the same mentality as Assam, but now they fight for the Kushan Empire because of patriotism
?
Actually no, neither Urdu nor Salman are actually patriotic. The Kushan Empire is not something worth following for them. Even more directly, as a species of Se, after they have experienced so much,
How to trust Kushan?
They are willing to fight for Kushan only because of Oswin. Sometimes, even if people are disgusted by certain things and certain circumstances, they will still persist for certain people and exert their power as much as the peak. Sidney is the same.
So, Sidney will definitely die this time.
"It's true, everyone is unwilling to understand me." Masinde looked at Sidney, then at Fulward, and finally sighed, "Folward, we may never see each other again in the future.
, assuming you return to the Kushan Empire, no matter who picks you up, you just need to follow Oswin."
"Should I follow Oswin?" Fulward looked at Masinde with a gloomy face and said. To be honest, Oswin is still his junior. He, Niranjan and Barak are from the same generation, and Oswin is Niranjan.
Ranjan's younger brother, okay, let him follow Oswin, isn't this a rebellion against Tiangang?
"This is the few help I can give you, and it is also an opportunity for you to act honorably as a general and a hero after returning to Kushan." Masinde sighed and said.
At this time, Masinde, who jumped out of the chessboard, did not need to consider any evidence. He only needed to rely on the situation to make judgments. Naturally, he understood that the high-level spy was either Prince Qi or Vesuthiva I. If you choose one of the two, there is a high probability that it is
The prince prayed.
Therefore, after Fuwode returned to Kushan, he still had to face a very bad situation, and since he had taken refuge with the Han Dynasty, Fuwode had to face some kind of scrutiny even after traveling thousands of miles back to Kushan.
All these will have a great impact on Fulward, and if anyone tampered with him during this period, Fulward might not even have dignity.
"You are involved in too many things. The Zoroastrian sect and I have a great influence on you. In this case, even though you have achieved pretty good results, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to be safe.
So, if you still want to honorably serve as a Kushan general, go find Oswin, he is indeed a hero." Masinde persuaded Fulward seriously.
"He is too weak!" Fulward said coldly. It was not about qualifications or arrogance, but the most realistic thing. Oswin was not even in the army. This kind of situation where there are no heroes from time to time, which made Zhuzi famous, made Fulward
Ward was very dissatisfied.
"This is true, but Fulward, in addition to the right way, there are also evil ways to advance to become the commander of a large army. You can always trust Zhu Helai's lower limit." Masinde said with a smile, "And once Oswin succeeds,
The commander of the army, he will be so strong that it scares you, as long as he can get through the heart."
Fulward was silent for a while. In terms of judging the future, he is definitely not as good as Masinde. Moreover, since Masinde said that once Oswin becomes the commander of the Grand Army, he will be so strong that he will be frightened. That means this
In the future, it is likely to happen.
"What is the heart connection?" Fulward changed the subject.
"It is the key to Oswin's enlightenment. Whether it is military command or personal strength, this matter is the key. I can guess what Zhu Helai will do, but Oswin's side, how to get through the heart problem
But I can't find the key, or to put it bluntly, I don't see the possibility of Oswin getting over his heart. Heroes are sometimes too upright." Masinde said with some emotion.
"However, even if he can't pass the heart test, it should be enough during the time when Zhu He came to deceive him." Masinde said very calmly, "Maybe Oswin is also Zhu He's consumables, and it's not yours
If you just hang around under Oswin, can you replace him when the time comes?"
Fulward looked at Masinde with a sneer.
Masinde turned around and left, waving to Fulward, "Listen to me and go find Oswin. He is the key to saving you. Although you will definitely die, I think you can do this.
To a certain extent, at least when you die, you should be more dignified."
Fulward looked at Masinde's back and finally took Masinde's words into his heart.
"Oswin? Okay." Fulward looked at Masinde who was blocked by the camp door and made a very humiliating decision for him.
When Zhang Ji led Yang Pu and others to attack the nominal capital of the Zhangzhong Dynasty, Fulward had already quietly left.
"Processor, our investigators have definitely found the traces left by Fulward when he evacuated." Yang servant came with the scouts to inform Zhang Ji and asked Zhang Ji if he was pursuing, while Zhang Ji looked at Masinde who looked lazy.
, somewhat silent.
"I won't get involved in this matter. You can figure it out on your own." Masinde felt Zhang Ji's gaze. He knew exactly where Fulward would go, and he also knew that the other party was trying to spread suspicion, but he didn't
Will speak out.
It seems that I really can’t get up these days. When normal updates resume tomorrow, please hurry up and vote. It seems that the monthly vote list has really been restored.
