Although Zhao Yun's personal bravery and the desperate fighting of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were the fundamental reason why they were able to break out of the siege and return to Chigu City with nearly 20% of the battle damage, what they didn't know was that the greatest credit for this battle belonged to one person.
.
Jiawen fights to the death to wash away his shame.
What has to be admitted is that although Shapur showed some flaws in using Jarvan to ambush the Bingzhou army reinforcements, as the eldest son of Papek and one of the next generation successors whom Papek had painstakingly cultivated,
Shapur is still quite capable in frontal combat command, and more importantly, he is very familiar with the Skitarii.
Shapur was actually not in a good mood today, because the plan he had worked so hard to formulate and implement was not only discovered by the enemy, but also used it to stage a siege, which caused a lot of damage to his side, and his face was beaten.
It was really painful. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the noble man who came secretly to take advantage of his merits
The second prince of frost, Vashsegar, actually sneered at him, ridiculing him for being simple-minded and not knowing how to command troops. As for his younger brother Ardashir, who was fighting openly and covertly with him, he didn't say anything, but in Shapur's view, the one who always liked to command troops
The eyes of his brother, who was wrapped up very tightly, were full of ridicule and gloating.
However, although he was very angry, he could only endure it. Even if in his eyes, the second prince Vashsega was a waste and a loser, he had to swallow this breath. Because that prince entrusted them with Zoroaster.
The future of Christianity. They have already lost their homeland. If they lose this place again, they will become homeless dogs again.
One experience was enough to be unforgettable, and Shapur did not want to experience it a second time because of his impulsiveness, even if he was furious.
So when faced with the soldier who ruined his good deeds, he was surprisingly not angry, nor did he use the soldier's life to vent his anger. This would only increase the pleasure of the prince and his brother, and make him appear even more incompetent.
.
Instead, giving that person to the prince not only told them that he knew their plan, but it was also a disguised bow, because Shapur did not know how many people had been in the Zoroastrian temple.
I have learned too much knowledge about Zoroastrianism and can decipher his methods, so it is not unfair for Shapur to have such a misunderstanding.
At that time, Shapur, who was so angry, could only recite "Calm down, calm down, calm down..." Although he didn't know the Chinese saying "It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge", Shapur was definitely not the kind of person who didn't know how to advance or retreat.
The reckless man.
However, accidents often happen at such times.
When Shapur learned that the Han soldier had assassinated Vashshekar, his first reaction was anger and fear.
Yes, anger and fear. Because at that time Shapur did not know the life and death of Vashsegar. He was afraid that if Vashsegar was assassinated and died, Zoroastrianism, which had lost its support, would be expelled by the Buddhists.
, so Jiawen's actions made him extremely angry and full of panic. More importantly, he suddenly
However, he thought that he had sent this person to Vashisega. If Vashisega really died and everyone had to flee in panic again, then the name of the culprit would definitely be pushed by his famous brother.
When it comes to himself, even if his father trusts him, he is afraid that it will be difficult to maintain his position as heir.
At this time, Shapur felt somewhat helpless and desolate, as if he had made a mistake and regretted it for eternity.
But things quickly took a turn for the better.
Not only did it soon come out that the second prince Vashshega was only seriously injured, although he looked terrible, he could still be cured by the Zoroastrian priests in a short time relying on the unique laws of this world - top
Just spend more MP. What's even more beneficial to Shapur is that the Han people also came to attack the camp at this time, and the timing was just right.
Although Shapur did not see the fireworks shining in the sky, it did not prevent him from finding a reason to shirk the blame. The Han man was simply an assassin in disguise. I was responsible for negligence at most, but he definitely did not send the person.
.
After thinking about everything, Shapur was even in the mood to laugh a few times. As long as Vashshega did not die, all the injuries he suffered would give Shapur reasons to be happy, especially when he thought of his always-appearing
His very enigmatic brother also had to shoulder similar responsibilities as himself, and even had the responsibility of failing to protect his master. Shapur was even more happy from the bottom of his heart, and he even almost forgot to assemble his troops to fight back because he was so happy.
His men might as well have risked their lives to remind him, otherwise Zhao Yun's losses might have been reduced a lot.
Of course, when Shapur became serious, Zhao Yun did feel unprecedented pressure. In other words, the pressure Zhao Yun put on Shapur made him dare not relax at all, because he knew very well that if he felt like this, the loser would be
It will be him.
I wonder what Zhao Yun’s expression will be after knowing this? It will definitely be interesting.
Okay, let’s not think about the mood of Zhao Yun who is currently studying the military situation with Xu Rong, Ban Fu, Jia Kui and others. Let us turn the time back to the previous battle, and turn it back to the one that made us a little anxious.
The moment when Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.
Shapur is commanding the troops to gradually encroach on the Bingzhou Army, which has been basically surrounded. Although he has not been able to divide this army, as long as there are no major mistakes, it is only a matter of time to capture this army. To completely annihilate this army
Compared with the victory of Chigu City, the achievements of this army are somewhat inferior.
It's enough to see, but for Shapur, Chigu City is his treasure, so it's not bad to have an appetizer before the big meal of Chigu City, plus he doesn't have to deal with it.
Several people had stumbled over this matter, which made him feel quite good at this time.
At this moment, a group of people broke in regardless of the obstruction of his guards.
Shapur frowned and was about to reprimand, but he soon gave up such an idea. Although he didn't deal well with the few people who came over, the identity of one of the people on the other side forced him to give up.
idea.
"Shapur, was that Han assassin sent by you? Are you planning to rebel?"
Vashsega looked righteous. If he hadn't still been wearing the armor he was wearing when he was assassinated, perhaps no one would have been able to tell that he had been a guy who was about to die. He should be grateful to those who like to cut corners.
In other words, the gods can only cut corners. Although the wounds are very hideous, with a few recovery spells and a recovery meal, our Second Prince is not only mentally unstable, but at least his body is as clean as new.
.
So at this time, he had enough energy and stamina to question Shapur with a confident expression.
"Your Highness, this is obviously a conspiracy of those Han people. In order to prove my personal innocence, I can catch those damn Han people for you, and then hand them over to you to deal with as you please, making them pay a huge price for their cowardice and insidiousness.
.”
"Hmph! Who knows if you intend to kill people and silence them? Otherwise, why would you send the assassin to me? And I heard that you captured the assassin and let the Han people see through our plan. Do you think you
Can we get away with it?"
"So what should I do to calm His Highness's anger and misunderstanding?"
"Give me the army. I will capture that damn guy alive. I will interrogate him myself without anyone's intervention."
Although Vashisega had a serious look on his face, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shapur understood what the plans of His Highness in front of him were. It was obvious that the other party did not really intend to launch an attack, because as Papek's eldest son and
Heir, no matter how dissatisfied Vashsegar is with Shapur, as long as Shapur does not attack him with weapons, he has no power to deal with Shapur. He can only tell Papek everything and put pressure on Papek to let him go.
Make a decision to your satisfaction.
Vashsega's real intention is to gain military power, and only in this way will his trip to Chigu City not be in vain - not only can he get more meritorious deeds, but he will also bring the Skitarii with him.
This elite force was taken from Shapur, who had a bad relationship with him, and was handed over to Ardashir, who had a very close relationship with him and had an even worse relationship with Shapur.
This shouldn't be Vashsegar's plan, there must be the shadow of Ardashir behind it.
Although Shapur did not dare to say how much he knew about his brother, whose origin was of doubtful origin, he knew very well that his brother was not an economical lamp, and his mind actually produced some things that gave Shapur a headache.
idea.
Of course, the idea Ardashir gave to Vashsegar this time did not make Shapur feel so troublesome. It can be said that when Vashsegar saw Shapur happily handing over the command to him, his face was filled with anger.
The expression on his face was really interesting to Shapur. So Shapur thought that today might be a day worth remembering, because too many things that made him happy happened today, and it seemed like they would continue to do so.
occur.
Sure enough, Vashsega, who had basically no contact with the Skitarii and was not a superb commander, not only failed to catch his assassins personally, but instead defeated most of them with the cooperation of the unexpectedly appearing Chigu City defenders.
Retreat calmly.
And the occurrence of all this has nothing to do with Shapur.
"Originally, there were thousands of defenders in Chigu City, but now there are thousands more troops, plus the private soldiers of the Wusun nobles, and more importantly, the generals leading them are not ordinary people. It is a pity.
Such a great opportunity.”
On a mountain peak near Chigu City, although the once beautiful city could not be seen, this did not seem to affect the mood of the two men watching the scenery on the top of the mountain. In other words, their mood was already low enough, even if
No matter what happens, it's probably impossible for their mood index to hit a new low.
"Have those guys finally taken action?"
"We have lost our last chance since I failed to stop Bo Diao. Although we are enemies, we have to admit that we can directly abandon the Gandhara army and return to Gandhara alone with only a few followers to take over everything. Bo Diao
He is an extremely good and difficult enemy. Whether it is Kangju, Wusun, Parthia or Kushan, Bo Diao has made detailed arrangements, and his vision is also quite good. His allies provide him with
The help is obviously more than ours.”
"Then what will my father do next? The surrounding environment is extremely unfavorable to us. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to go back to Khwarezm."
"No, I will definitely not go. Compared with Kangju who is protected by the Han people, Khwarezm is obviously more attractive to Bo Diao and the forces behind him. So, maybe there is someone who can give us some help..."
"who?"
"A person who doesn't want the wave to become bigger and dominate the surrounding areas of Kushan."
Although he spoke very resolutely, he still couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He has been working for Zoroastrianism for most of his life, but now, although he has established a considerable power, he is still like a broken man in the wind.
Like a candle, as long as the wind blowing is slightly stronger, it is in danger of being extinguished.
Can these days...can they ever end?
There are still thick black clouds floating in the sky, and it seems that a heavy snow is about to fall on this land again.
PS: Ahem... Because I was stimulated by the pile of likes yesterday, I am full of motivation and decided to repay it with two updates... Although there is nothing worth bragging about.
PS2: If I say that another motivation for me to be able to update twice is yesterday’s 4:3 win over Australia by the national football team, I don’t know if you believe it or not... Anyway, I probably believe it myself. Since the national football team can make a difference, we should
