"Commander Masinde specially took out the talisman and handed it to me before. I actually knew what he meant. He should have figured it out a long time ago, but I don't want this kind of charity. We can fail or be defeated.
We were beaten until we fell to our knees, but we can't even give up our long-cherished wish." Sidney pushed Ward away and then rushed forward.
Next is Sidney's war. In this world where faith can change the reality, the orthodox Yuezhi, who carries a century-old wish and moves forward bravely, has enough power while causing distortions to himself.
However, their power is mixed with their belief. If it is used to capture the princess, the limit of what they can explode is far greater than it is now.
But now in Kushan, in order to survive and survive, this power of faith itself has been unable to show its due effect.
Sidney personally led 1,300 men to stop the Qiang who were ten times his own force, while Fulward silently led the remaining less than 2,000 soldiers and rushed toward the mountains of northern Tibet.
Sidney is very strong, and he is not much weaker than Fulward because he is completely free. After all, just like Cabbage and others under Barak, he is the commander-in-chief of the area. Without those of Kushan
Damn it, these people are the future heirs.
However, no matter how strong a general is, he will not be able to exert much combat effectiveness when facing ten times his own strength, with only a thousand people on his side and ten thousand on the other side.
The command ability was greatly reduced at this scale, and Yongwu had to face the Qiang's cloud suppression. In such a cruel situation, all Sidney could do was delay.
Mangzhong wanted to kill Fulward, but Sidney's blockage kept him from getting away. He was almost killed by Sidney when he dispersed the front line. Mangzhong also realized to some extent that Sidney was a tough opponent.
So Mangzhong no longer expected to kill Fulward, but concentrated his troops to hang Sidney and the elite Kushan soldiers left behind by Fulward. As Fulward retreated, until the distance was widened to a certain extent,
When he successfully entered the mountainous area of northern Tibet from the west, Fulward's mental image finally lost its blessing.
The glow of the mental image disappeared, and the skylight also dimmed. The battle that had lasted from noon to now was finally coming to an end.
"Surrender." Mang Zhong looked in the direction of Sidney and greeted him. Under the influence of the Han Dynasty, Mang Zhong had the attitude of capturing those alive. After all, in this era, prisoners are better than beheaded.
The achievement is even greater, "My goal is Fulward, and I don't want to kill you."
Sidney looked in the direction of Mangzhong, and then at the camel knight soldiers who had lost the blessing of mental images, were tired, hungry, and completely exhausted. There were less than 800 people left, and apart from himself, there were no more people.
People are injured, and everything is exhausted.
"If you are willing to surrender, just put down your weapons. As a general, I will eventually give an explanation, and you have done your best." Sidney looked at his soldiers who had fought to the point of despair and said.
As for Sidney himself, he is not ready to surrender. His mentality itself is biased toward self-destruction. The merger of Northern Gui and Southern Gui not only gained more practical benefits, but also gave up the belief that Northern Gui had always held.
For Sidney, it was almost equivalent to the collapse of his Taoist heart. He left his army in Kushan and flew over to find Fulward, just to let Fulward answer his doubts.
However, the doubts have not been resolved. Fulward does not think this is a wrong thing. Sidney respects Fulward's choice, but he also further strengthens his judgment - the current Kushan is shit! Give up.
Da Yueshi, who has cherished a long-cherished wish for a hundred years, is a wild dog!
Just die here!
Sidney bent down slightly and made a look like a cheetah charging, and the camel riders under his command also refused to surrender and followed here. They also vowed to die to serve the country. Why insult this belief? Fight!
A pale silver light was released from Sidney's body. This was his mental image, giving him a false destiny.
Mang Zhong's eyes lit up, and then became much more solemn. He never thought that this guy who looked like a lieutenant who chose to end the war would actually have mental images. You must know that even in the Kushan Empire, not everyone
All the famous generals and commanders have this kind of thing.
In fact, if you have one of the legion talents, mental image, inner abyss, and illusory eagle flag, you can at least be on the world stage.
Therefore, when he saw this scene, Mang Zhong was somewhat shocked, but precisely because of this, after the other party refused to surrender, he no longer tried to persuade him, and directly led a large group of young men to charge forward, fighting until the moon went up to the top of the mountain.
At that time, Sidney suffered more than a dozen wounds and died of exhaustion.
"My name is Sidney, take my head to receive the reward." Sidney, who had dozens of wounds on his body, was not angry at all. On the contrary, he felt somewhat relieved before his death. However, even if he had achieved what he wanted,
Although he was freed, Sidney still maintained the dignity of a general with internal energy leaving his body, and died fighting hard.
"Send a letter to the commander-in-chief. We have done our best and killed a general in Kushan who had a mental image." After Sidney died, Mangzhong sat down on the ground. After such a long time
In the battle, he suffered several injuries on his body, and one of his sons died. Mangzhong himself was exhausted, and it was only thanks to holding his breath that he managed to survive until now.
But now that Sidney was dead, this breath was released, and Mang Zhong felt exhausted from the bottom of his heart, and completely lost the remaining energy to continue pursuing Fulward.
In Xinzhou, after half of the remaining locusts were eliminated by thunderstorms on the mountain roads, Liu Yan realized that his original idea was reckless. Although the thunderstorms were indeed very strong, facing such a locust plague that counted in the hundreds of millions, it was indeed somewhat powerless.
Out of reach.
After that, Liu Yan could only do his best to exterminate the locusts. As for keeping the enemy outside the country as mentioned earlier, he just pretended that he didn't say anything. After working so hard for more than ten days, Liu Yan gave up on exterminating the locusts because damn it.
They are already dead, and there is nothing he can do about the locusts that have invaded New South Wales.
So after closing the stall, he returned to the government office in Xinzhou. At this time, Jia Xu was still staying at the county governor's office, which made Liu Yan somewhat embarrassed.
"Has the locust plague been cleared successfully?" Jia Xu teased with a bit of teasing.
"Some have underestimated the scale of the locust plague. Even if we build super dangerous thunder weapons, we still can't solve it in the face of the overwhelming locusts. I did underestimate the scale of this locust plague before. No wonder the three empires need to join forces.
"Liu Yan said with a little tiredness, but he didn't care about Jia Xu's teasing look. After all, after working with Jia Xu for so many years, Liu Yan knew clearly that Jia Xu would only fight with them at most.
He was joking, but in front of other people, he always looked solemn.
"Over in East Africa, we have gathered the power of the three empires and have killed most of the locusts. The remaining ones can reach Xinzhou, less than one in a hundred." Jia Xu replied with a smile.
"I have no hope of solving the co-authorship from the beginning, right?" Liu Yan said angrily, "Speaking of which, what are you doing recently? I feel like you have been busy lately. You seem to be free these days.
Yes, what happened?"
Jia Xu glanced at Liu Yan. Although mentally, there was still a considerable gap between the other party and their group, but over the years, the weakest Liu Yan had also improved a lot. At least he could tell that he was touching.
The fish are still working.
"Because you were assassinated, I have to take some precautions to see if I can solve the matter smoothly." Jia Xu said with a calm expression.
After all, he was also the master of Shang Tian and Bu Shang Wenhe. Even if Liu Yan was assassinated, it could be said that it was a complete accident. Moreover, because there were enough guards, Liu Yan was not injured at all and the assassin was captured.
, but even so, after Jia Xu came to Xinzhou, if he could solve the problem from the root, he would still take action to solve it from the root.
"Oh oh oh, Fulward, right? I didn't understand what you meant before, but when I thought about it later when I was killing the locusts, I finally realized it." Liu Yan said Fulward's words on the spot.
Jia Xu was not surprised by the name and just nodded.
"By the way, Fulward is in the Tibetan area. You are operating it remotely, right?" Liu Yan asked curiously.
Jia Xu shook his head when he heard this and said, "No, I just readjusted the local military deployment in Xinzhou and strengthened the management capabilities of each area."
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jia Xu, "Fuwode wants to go to the Tibetan area? How is this possible? If he drags him in the Tibetan area, we have no good solution, but if he goes to the Tibetan area, he will only be
We will solve it quickly, whether we go to Xinzhou or Yizhou, it will be a dead end."
Compared with the Qiang people in Tibetan areas, the local corps that blockaded the Yanbian area of Xinzhou and Yizhou are not only hard-hitting, but also can really block the camels.
The Qiang people in Tibetan areas cannot be stopped. In addition to the issue of weapons and equipment, another important point is that the Qiang people in Tibetan areas have not accepted comprehensive military service in the past few years. Well, even if they have accepted universal military service
Military service cannot make a fifteen-year-old child proficient in various techniques and tactics in just a few years.
As for the local legions in the Yanbian area of Xinzhou and Yizhou that block the Lower Tibet Passage, at least every soldier has been properly trained. If nothing else, at least they are standard regular armies, with backbone centurions to strengthen their organizational strength.
Ensure that the soldiers under your command can exert their due combat effectiveness.
This is completely different from the Qiang people in the Tibetan area. The Tibetan area said that they used hundreds of thousands of young men this time, but most of them were not even qualified soldiers with a talent. They were really bullying Fulward's men.
The camel rider, because there is no mount, cannot exert its due strength. Only the two talents are close to the strength of the Imperial Guard. Otherwise, it is nonsense for the young Qiang people to block Ward.
The gap between the two sides in terms of hard power is too big, which means that there are few people in Fuwode, and the core talents cannot be used. Otherwise, when Fuwode is at its peak, ten thousand or twenty thousand Qiang people will block it. If Fuwode doesn't care about the losses,
, it’s really just a matter of doing it in one go.
The idea of one Han fighting against five barbarians refers to the same level, that is, an elite Han army with dual talents can defeat five barbarian armies with both dual talents, rather than the so-called elite Han army of a Imperial Guard.
He can defeat five times the number of barbarians. If it were the latter, the Imperial Guards would have committed suicide and become a slut. It would have been so embarrassing.
Therefore, even a guy like Liu Yan who doesn't know how to fight knows that if Fu Wode is fooling around in the Tibetan area, he can barely survive, but if he goes to the lower Tibetan area, he will really have no choice but to die. The Qiang people's young fighting ability and
The gap in combat effectiveness between the regular armies of the Han Dynasty should not be too obvious.
Even to be more realistic, it is not the difference in basic quality. The weapons and equipment are now far behind. It is not that Chen Xi deliberately blackmails the Qiang people's equipment, but that the weapons and equipment Chen Xi gives to the Qiang people in proportion to the population are the same as those of the Qiang people.
The equipment needed by the young and strong army that was drawn out is completely different.
Therefore, in this case, Liu Yan's view of Fuwo's trip to the Tibetan area was simply to seek death. Although staying in the Tibetan area was also a slow suicide, it was much better than dying suddenly on the spot.
"What you said is normal, but that is a normal situation. After you were assassinated in Xinzhou, the local legions in Xinzhou will inevitably be affected. According to normal logic, even if investigators come from Chang'an, they will first let the local legions
It's shrinking." Jia Xu agreed with Liu Yan's judgment, but that was just a normal situation. When did Jia Xu live normally?
"After you were assassinated, some of the things Masinde had covered up had to be revealed. Masinde would not let Fulward do anything that would affect the subsequent handover too much. In fact, the most that Masinde did in the past two years was
The main thing is to bring the tens of thousands of people under Fulward's command to ours. If we delay a little longer, Masinde will pull them all." Jia Xu said with some admiration.
Jia Xu is also aware of Masinde's ability. This person will be positioned as Liu Yan's deputy. It doesn't sound like a high position, but if Liu Yan really wants to say it, he is the head of the human resources department of the Han Dynasty. Masinde is basically the head of the human resources department of the Han Dynasty.
It's like airborne, and it has real power.
Chen Xi originally did not plan to let Ma Xinde solve the Tibetan area, but directly asked Ma Xinde to be Liu Yan's deputy. However, Ma Xinde said that people have to start well and end well. If he took Fulward to the Tibetan area, he would have to do it in the end.
Giving Ward an explanation and having him solve the problems in Tibetan areas will reduce a lot of losses.
This is not a lie. Without Masinde assimilating the more than 30,000 Kushan soldiers under Fuwode, when Fuwode finally had no choice and exploded with the Qiang people in Tibetan areas, the damage caused would have been several times greater.
, even ten times more than now.
But according to the time, Masinde should not have a showdown with Fulward at this time, but Fulward sent people to go to Tibet, Shule, Khotan and other places to collude with people and assassinate Liu Yan.
Things had to come to a showdown.
According to Jia Xu's understanding of Masinde, by this time, Masinde should have eaten up 80% of the power of Fuwode's men, and Fuwode should still choose to take people back to Kushan.
Again, the civil servants of the Han Dynasty and Masinde knew Fulward's mentality, so the next thing Jia Xu had to prepare was to deal with Fulward.
It's just that Jia Xu will not go beyond Masinde to deal with Fulward. This is Masinde's dignity, and it is also Jia Xu's recognition of Masinde.
"So you are setting up in Xinzhou, waiting for Fulward to come down?" Liu Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then he understood what Jia Xu was doing recently. It was obvious that he was setting up pocket formations in Xinzhou, waiting for Fulward to come down, and then gathering.
The forces from the Yanbian area of New South Wales knocked Fulward to death.
"Yes, but Fulward didn't come down. He probably took the Karakoram Corridor. It seems he escaped." Jia Xu said calmly.
"Escaped?" Liu Yan didn't know why. "Wait a minute, why did you take the Karakoram Corridor? Isn't it difficult to walk there? Aren't there many passages in the Himalayas? Why do you have to take this most difficult route for supplies?
If you really want to go, you can go to places like Quma Mountain and Kashmir."
"We will take action in those places." Jia Xu said very calmly, "Our deal with Masinde is that Masinde will solve the problems in the Tibetan areas, and Masinde will handle all this, that is, in
In this matter, we people will not intervene and let Masinde handle it, but this does not mean that Masinde will completely let Ward run back with the core elite, and we will ignore it."
Jia Xu agrees with Masinde's logic. Although Chen Xi is unhappy, Chen Xi has not intervened until now, which actually shows that Chen Xi is acceptable to this.
But the bottom line in this matter is that if Fulward goes back alone, the Han Dynasty will not stop him at all. But if Fulward wants to go back with the core elite of his headquarters, then Masinde must give him a solution that both parties can understand.
Give a decent account.
Because the Han Dynasty could not accept the thousands of main force members who had experienced the severe climate test in Tibetan areas and had successfully returned to Kushan despite being chased and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of Qiang people. This was equivalent to stepping on the Han Dynasty's face.
This is why Masinde had previously persuaded Ward to go back by himself. If he had to take these people back, it would definitely be the way to ask questions.
Again, our Han Dynasty said that you, Masinde, should handle matters in the Tibetan areas yourself. So in this case, Fulward was chased and intercepted by the locals in the Tibetan areas, and he used his own ability to fight back hundreds or even thousands.
The Han Dynasty accepted it, but if Masinde had to advise Fulward and let Fulard take the main force back, then don't blame the Han Dynasty for being rude. This is why the main force of the Han Dynasty has not ended up until now.
The reason is that all matters concerning Tibetan areas have been left to Masinde.
By the way, this is also the reason why Zhang Ji can just persuade the Qiang people, but there is no need to do so, because the ending of Fuwode is the dignity that Masinde finally gave Fuwode. Zhang Ji did not realize it before, and was turned upside down by Masinde.
After calming down, I understood what Masinde was waiting for.
But there is a premise for this, that is, Fulode did not leave the Tibetan area, but ran around inside the Tibetan area, and finally broke away from the blockade and went to Kushan.
But if Fulward went to the Tibetan area and was killed by the Han army, it would be impossible to blame anyone else, because this dignity was given to Masinde, who was given full authority to deal with the Tibetan area.
In this area, it is not Masinde's business, but the Han Dynasty's business.
Therefore, Jia Xu had been constantly adjusting the local army in Yanbian, Xinzhou some time ago, waiting for Fuwode to rush down to the Tibetan area and die. As a result, until yesterday, Fuwode still had not rushed down, and Jia Xu realized that Fuwode was the last one.
Didn't choose this path.
"Oh, oh, in Tibetan areas, it's Masinde's business, but outside of Tibetan areas, there's no Masinde's business. That's understandable." Liu Yan nodded when he heard this. He could understand that.
"Fuwode didn't go down to the Tibetan area. If he came down, I'm going to kill him directly. If he doesn't come down, there's nothing we can do. It's still Masinde's business." Jia Xu said with some pity, although Fuwode's
The assassination itself was not directed at Liu Yan, and it did not actually hurt Liu Yan, but this kind of behavior alone deserves Jia Xu's careful treatment.
It's a pity that with such a bright opportunity, Fulward didn't run down from the Tibetan area and try to hide first and then enter Tibet. It's really a pity.
"Then what should we do now?" Liu Yan asked curiously. This did not involve confidentiality, so Liu Yan wanted to know and asked directly.
"Lang Sha, let's wait for the final news. Fulward has run away." Jia Xu was not surprised at all. Surprises are inevitable. "But the problem in Tibetan areas has been completely solved now."
, let’s talk about the rest. According to Zichuan’s habits, the Qiang people should be given a lot of compensation in the future. After all, the Qiang people did contribute to this incident in the Tibetan area. "
The Qingqiang, Faqiang, and Di people contributed a lot to the containment of Fulward, so the necessary rewards still need to be given, and these people are still needed to maintain the strategic advantage of Tibetan areas over the Nangui area in the future.
Tibetan areas will have to enter a new round of development in the future, which requires Chen Xi to increase investment. Although Jia Xu doesn't quite understand why Chen Xi wants to develop Tibetan areas, Jia Xu and others are too lazy to understand even if they don't understand this matter.
Go and ask, after all, that is Chen Zichuan, who is truly invincible in internal affairs.
"So essentially, this last scene that caused Fulward to run away was also to prevent the Qiang people from feeling too hot when collecting supplies later, right?" Liu Yan explained the matter in his own words, and Jia Xu thought about it.
, I also think that’s pretty much the meaning.
After all, if the Qiang people don't die more, the way Chen Xi distributes supplies now, the Qiang people have to consider what they want to do with so many supplies, and whether they are worthy of these rewards, and once they think too much about some things
, which is not good for everyone.
What Chen Xi needs is the kind of person who doesn't think about anything after taking the supplies and just listens to the instructions from Chang'an. The Qiang people have clearly shown that they have to risk their lives if they take the supplies from the Han Dynasty, so it is better to do it first.
After a fight, the biggest threat in the Tibetan area was driven away, and this achievement was made higher. Then when the Qiang people collect supplies, it will not be so easy to touch.
After all, the Qiang people have obviously returned home, and there is no need to let the other party suffer due to material issues. As for Fulward, who ran away, in Chen Xi's eyes, he is almost a tool man.
I woke up late, the high temperature holiday is over, and I feel heartbroken.
