"We'll take a day's rest here today. We'll advance two more cities and enslave the believers. Let's retreat. We've already attracted a lot of attention here. If we go any further, we might really encounter ghosts." Zhang Renzuo
He sighed slightly tiredly and said.
"That's what I mean here too. We are going all the way to the army, mainly to attract the attention of the main force of Kushan. But if we continue, I am afraid it will be really dangerous. Moreover, the further we go west, the more prosperous Kushan becomes.
Bian is no longer inferior to the former Central Plains." Ji Ling agreed without hesitation after hearing this.
The west of the city of Brahasi belongs to the real prosperous area of Kushan. The Ganges and Indus rivers protect this land respectively. It is a very fertile place. Except for a natural disaster-level drought every few decades, it is not fertile at other times.
It is ripe three times a year.
In fact, this place is the territory that truly belongs to Kushan. Although the Brahmins are deeply rooted in this place, it is completely different from those places east of Brahmas City in that although the Brahmins here are like
Later squires in the Central Plains also controlled the land, but it was not as exaggerated and unscrupulous as in the east.
In addition, the climate here is indeed very suitable for farming, so the life of the people here is not difficult. After all, the Kushan Empire system has not completely collapsed. Although the Brahmins firmly control this place, it is not without them.
The power to fight against the opponent.
This was what the northern nobles first conquered back then, but just like the nomads on the steppe conquered the farming civilization, the conquerors were easily assimilated. Many of the people deployed by the northern nobles in this area have been transformed into Kshatriyas due to the situation in the south.
Although the descendants of Sogdian historians such as Helilach still remember their identities, in fact they have been assimilated to the extent that even Helilach himself did not deny his identity.
Kshatriya identity.
This was also the cause of the civil war more than ten years ago. The northern nobles still suffered the consequences of being uneducated. Even the current Vesutheva I was able to win temporarily, but as long as the Brahmins cannot be eradicated, his descendants will not be able to survive him now.
Easily obtain everything and return it to the other party again.
"Obviously, the city we occupied east of Brahmas was not valued by the Kushans. General, if people move here in the future, can I let my people move here?" After all, Meng Huo is one of the southern barbarians.
There are few people with brains.
"There's nothing wrong with this. Farming is more reliable than hunting, and the land here is plentiful and good. You have made many achievements, so it doesn't matter if your people move here first." Zhang Ren said nonchalantly. The soil and water here are really good.
It is very fertile, so you can really plant whatever you want in the field.
"Thank you so much, General." Meng Huo smiled and raised his glass and said to Zhang Ren. With Zhang Ren's guarantee, he will tell his tribe to move here after this battle. Although the Indochina Peninsula is not bad, it is
The place needs to be reclaimed, and the land here has been reclaimed, which makes it easier.
"I wonder what's going on with General Guan." Wang Lei asked a little uneasily. Guo Jia's plan was too dangerous. Although they had done a very good job, Wang Lei was always worried about Guishang.
It is not developing according to Guo Jia's plan.
"It should be okay. It won't be too bad if Military Advisor Guo follows." Zhang Ren said with a smile. Although he didn't know the real situation, the smooth situation on their side made him naturally think of the same situation on Guan Yu's side.
Smooth situation.
"I hope so." Wang Lei didn't know what to say, so he could only wish him this way.
"We have made such a big noise here. The other party will definitely not notice the remote area. It is the most normal situation to come straight here." Lu Kai said with a little respect. He really admired Guo Jia.
The other party just thought about it for a moment and came up with clever ideas.
"Let's also prepare here to deal with the opponent's counterattack." Huang Quan put down the wine glass filled with juice and said, "Send more people to deliver the oracle. According to Military Advisor Guo's estimate, the Brahmins may not be able to bear the pressure now. Agree
We have met the request of Kushan senior officials.”
"God's Trial." Zhang Ren said with slight admiration. Zhang Ren didn't know who among the Kushans came up with this plan, but this plan did solve the faith problem of southern believers to a great extent.
, suppressed the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty within the religious system.
"If the opponent wins, the situation will be reversed directly. Just like when we create gods, the opponent will produce an epic hero, and it will be an epic hero that defeats the gods. By then, both the spirit and the will will be greatly affected.
Sublimation." Wang Leixu said, tapping his knuckles.
It has to be said that even the three plans that Zhu Helai came up with in a hurry are actually quite good. Although the third plan has flaws, the subsequent plans have made up for their own flaws. If they can be completed
They claim to be a trial, then Kushan will have a hero who is not a god, but is better than a god.
This kind of person has a great blessing on the morale of the army, and unlike the aloof gods, with such a general commanding the army, the soldiers under his command will definitely go all out.
What's more important is to think further, such an epic hero who truly challenged the gods and won the victory bowed under the imperial power represented by Vesudeva I and was driven by the imperial power. If nothing else,
There is no doubt that Kushan will be truly cast into a piece of stone during the reign of Vesudev I, and even Brahmins must bow their heads and obey.
This is also the reason why Guo Jiahui admired Zhu Helai's strategy. Although the other party used a strategy, he came up with conspiracies and schemes very cleverly and combined them with military strength. Although Guo Jia did not want to admit this level,
But the other party may be better strategically.
However, having superior strategy does not mean that the other party can stabilize his position. Guo Jia's strategies rarely target the technical level. He always targets people's hearts.
Zhu Helai's strategy was clear and obvious, but Guo Jia vaguely saw that there was something else left behind, and this was the key to Guo Jia's victory.
When Zhang Ren stopped to rest, Guan Yu was already approaching the upper reaches of the Ganges River.
Although the situation of Guan Yu's journey was not as smooth as Guo Jia expected, there were no major problems. Although Guo Jia happened to encounter a stone carving on the way and observed it for a long time, but did not recognize what was written on it.
Looking at the traces on the stone carvings, it was estimated that they were hundreds of years old. Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.
When I turned around and met a wise man among the natives, I realized that the road Guo Jia took was also walked by someone about five hundred years ago. He also led an army there, but he took this road five hundred years ago.
The people who attacked Huashi City in the opposite direction failed.
"Haha, why are you so threatening? Since you are willing to talk about these things, why don't you tell me everything? I think I know a lot." Guo Jia looked at the native with a smile. The experience he showed was not that of an ordinary native.
What people should have.
"He's just an old Brahmin who has given up on the world and escaped from the world." The old man caught by Guo Jia did not panic at all, and spoke with a kind of nostalgia.
Guan Yu half-squinted his eyes and looked at the old man opposite him. He was not that kind of immortal, but he had a similar aura, "Is he a world-breaking powerhouse?"
"Breaking level, is that what they call it in the Central Plains?" The old man was not shocked. Instead, he looked at Guan Yu calmly. He could not hide his own strength in front of Guan Yu. Even the top strong man could not do it, let alone him.
Not the top bunch.
"I'm surprised that I can't feel any malice in you. As the top strong man in this country, shouldn't he kill us when he sees us?" Guo Jia looked at the strong Brahmin who showed no fear at all with a strange look on his face.
asked.
"Why do you want to kill?" the old man asked with a smile.
"We should be your enemies." Guo Jia pointed to himself without knowing what kind of mentality he had, and then turned his finger to point to the opposite side. To be honest, Guo Jia realized that this old man was wrong and was a little frightened, but there was no trace of emotion on his face.
There was the slightest hint of fear.
"That's just what you think. In fact, for us, you occupying this place may make the people here live better." The old man said calmly, "This place has been conquered by others, and it has been conquered repeatedly. You
Coming from the east, you should have a very clear feeling."
"The people here don't look like humans anymore." Guo Jia's smile faded and he spoke in a solemn tone.
"Yes, he is no longer a human. Although he still looks like a human, he is no longer human inside." The old man didn't even object to this. He nodded, and then easily removed the wrist that Guo Jia had grabbed from Guo Jia.
It came out easily from his hand, and Guo Jia didn't try any more.
"Your strength is pretty good, why don't you give it a try." Guan Yu suddenly said.
Guo Jia couldn't help being stunned, and then looked at the old man in front of him. Guan Yu could tell that this old man could threaten Guan Yu. Although they were all at the world-breaking level, Guan Yu was definitely the leader at the world-breaking level, and even
Guo Jia didn't even know how strong Guan Yu was.
"If you hit me with the knife, I will die." The old man shook his head, "Why bother an old man like me? I just came to see you, because the destiny is changing, and I also need to see that even the destiny is changing.
The crooked Han Empire."
"I don't believe in fate, and we in the Han Dynasty don't believe in this either." Guo Jiayi raised his eyebrows and said.
"That's because you can resist the destiny, so the destiny doesn't matter to you." The old man said with emotion, "For you on the east and west, the destiny and gods can correct it as long as you want, so you don't believe it."
