"Yes, all true gods are mortals." The young man said with a slight sigh, and then followed the other person and turned into light.
In the end, there was only a sigh left in the air. The gods were once weak. What they relied on when they were weak was not the goodwill of other gods, but their own efforts.
If mortals position themselves as servants of gods, then mortals who have the foundation to become gods will no longer be able to achieve the status of gods.
In this world, sometimes and for some things, you can only rely on yourself. Outsiders are outsiders after all, just like the Brahmin recluses who have entrusted themselves to the Han army, but they still have to fight for their lives!
In fact, Brahmin recluses are basically smart people, which is part of the reason for the decline of Brahmin. The smartest people have chosen to leave Brahmin because of their doctrines, and most of the rest are idiots who are greedy for power, and they are that
Type of short-sightedness.
Of course, in reality, it is not that there are no wise men who still exist in this system as Brahmins, but those people are not loyal to the Brahmin class, but to this system.
These people are capable, intelligent, and determined. It can be said that the biggest obstacle to the Han army in solving the problem in the south is these people.
Even if these people know that what they are doing is not right, their Brahmin upbringing and Brahmin education make them wise enough to hate this grassroots, but they will never allow others to destroy everything they cherish but hate.
What is the motherland? I scold her ten times a day for her shortcomings, but I still consciously and diligently contribute to her. But if someone else scolds her once, I will beat his great existence.
The group of martyrs among the Brahmins are not patriots. They know the shortcomings of this system and are working hard to improve the system, solve social conflicts, absorb the essence of Buddhism as much as possible, and make Brahmanism more beautiful.
Perfect.
Although they actually hated the class they were born into and were angry at the destruction of the lower class by this system, they would never allow the Han Dynasty to destroy all of this.
Such people have no lack of determination, no lack of action, and also have wisdom and strength. The class they come from gives them enough support. More importantly, they do not lack the determination to die if necessary.
.
There are such people in every country. Most of the time they are unknown. When the country is about to perish, they will stand up and dedicate everything to it.
After meeting with Guan Yu and Guo Jia, they immediately accelerated towards Peshawar. After passing this place, there was a plain ahead. The possibility of exposure was very high, but it was no longer important. According to Guo Jia's estimation
, the real elite of Kushan have gone south.
There was little difference between the facts and Guo Jia's estimation. On the day they received the news that the Han army was attacking the city of Brahmas, the northern nobles of Kushan sent troops southward.
The main force of the northern nobles and the vast majority of their elites were not near Peshawar. To mobilize troops, they had to be mobilized from the desert mountains in northern Kushan. But even so, the northern nobles also made a decision on the day after receiving the news.
Each legion flew directly to its garrison and mobilized its troops south.
After all, the fact that the prosperous area in the south was about to be attacked was so urgent for the north that after receiving the news, the north became frantic and quickly sent troops south.
Different from the previous fights with the Han Dynasty, when they had to argue with each other, in the last situation, they could just argue. After all, the interests and benefits were still far away, elusive and insubstantial. But this time, the northern nobles had almost no influence during the deployment of troops.
A profit-oriented argument, because this matter is too big.
The Han army is too far away. There are plateaus, deserts, and Gobi barriers in the north. The northern nobles talk nonsense about attacking the Han Dynasty, which is just talk, and they talk about the Han Dynasty coming over. There is no pressure. However, the territory of the prosperous area in the south is of concern.
The northern nobles’ military pay from top to bottom, from generals to soldiers!
Compared with a faraway nonsense, whether you will eat refined grains and rice tomorrow or next year, or eat dirt, is really a matter of life and death.
Based on the overall situation in Kushan, for the northern nobles, no matter how brutal the fighting east of Brahmas was, the northern nobles would still regard it as a joke, and they might even secretly help the Han Dynasty to hinder the southern part of Kushan.
Because the area east of Brahmas has no interest at all with the northern nobles, and even in practical terms, those areas do not belong to the Kushans, but only nominally belong to the Brahmins in the southern Kushans.
The situation is somewhat like, my minister's minister is not my minister, or even worse than this.
The Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty fought in the central and southern areas, and a lot of small countries were killed. But to say that the Han Dynasty fought tooth and nail for the small countries, it was still far away. The same was true for the northern part of the Kushan Dynasty. The territory east of Brahmas City was not suitable for the Brahmins.
To say it is homeland means that it is an indispensable territory for one’s family.
But for the northern nobles, the relationship is almost the same as that between Gongsun Gong of western Liaoning and the vassals of the Han Dynasty in central and southern China. It is even worse than this, because the current situation of the Han Dynasty still has a unified understanding, even if Emperor Tiangao is far away
, knowing this, Gongsun Gong would at least reprimand the enemies who attacked Zhongnan vassal.
When the northern nobles saw this, they would just clap their hands and cheer. To be honest, they were probably hoping that the southern Brahmins would be destroyed quickly. The territory that nominally belonged to Kushan but actually belonged to the Brahman religion was gone, which could just weaken the Brahmins.
But this refers to the east of Brahma Si City. If you pass Brahma Si City, the situation will be completely different, because if Brahma Si City is compared to the Han Dynasty, it is equivalent to Yumen Pass to the west.
To the north it is equivalent to Shanhaiguan, and to the south it is equivalent to Jiangling County.
In addition, Guishuang controls the Ganges Plain. The significance of the city of Brahasi is almost equivalent to Jicheng, an important county in Youzhou, which is also the so-called important border town. However, because it is located in the Ganges River, the climate is humid and the land is fertile. Although it is
It is a border county, but if it is more prosperous, it can compare with the important towns in the Central Plains. The innate geographical advantages are there, which is not mentioned.
The reason why it developed like this is that Brahmas City is the only city in the south owned by the northern nobles. It is a nail that belongs to the northern nobles and is driven into the south.
To the east of this city, there are various states under the Brahmin system under the name of Kushan. In theory, they belong to Kushan, but even the royal family has difficulty in intervening. Naturally, the northern nobles have no way.
To the west of this location is the prosperous area of Kushan in the true sense. Part of the output of this part of the Ganges and Indus river basins belongs to the northern nobles.
Although Peshawar is used as the dividing line, this area is actually under the rule of the south, but at least this area has the power of the northern Kushan.
Although these remaining powers have been eroded by the Brahmans to some extent, many of the nails that were once placed here have been transferred to the Brahmans, such as Heli Lach, and a large number of Kshatriyas currently. In fact, they were once
They were conquerors from the north.
It can be said that in this elite area, the strength of the northern nobles is constantly declining, but at least this place has been supplying food to the northern nobles no matter what.
In addition, the big nail nailed by the Brahmins rotates every three to five years. Every time a legion of the top elites from the north comes over, their loyalty can be guaranteed to avoid being corroded and corrupted by the local Brahmans. Although the north has great dominance in this area,
It continues to weaken, but still maintains its deterrence, ensuring the supply of food and grass in the north.
For the conquerors from the Yuezhi in the north, they might not be angry if the Han Dynasty was attacked east of Brahma Si, and they would even applaud in all likelihood. But west of Brahma Si city, it was
The forbidden love of northern nobles.
Therefore, when the Han Dynasty counterattacked and entered the area under Brahmin rule, the northern nobles did not care at all and were happy to watch the joke. As for the Padu Army Corps, not to mention Durga, even Rahul was not qualified to mobilize.
This legion belongs to the northern nobles and is a big nail planted by the north in the south. No southern commander is qualified to dispatch this legion. It is the last life guarantee of the northern nobles in a real sense.
Unless there are some special circumstances, there is a clearly signed transfer order, and the commander of the elite regiment stationed in Brahmas City at the time is willing to cooperate, otherwise, any military order from the south can be treated as if it has not been received and ignored.
What's more important is that this legion has the collective endorsement of the northern nobles. If necessary, it can even launch an attack on any hostile legion in the south to ensure its absolute dominance in the city of Brahma.
This is also why the Brahmins sent four legions to guard the Padao Corps led by Niranjan, because this legion can seal the city if necessary, and can directly declare war on the south based on the subjective judgment of the general.
The position of the regular soldiers led by the four Kshatriyas was to stabilize the army and prevent Niranjan from suddenly turning his back on him.
There are so many guarantees, so many regulations, and even an oath has to be signed. In fact, everything is to protect the city, because once the elites stationed in Brahmas are removed, the Brahman religion will turn against them, and the northern nobles will have no support.
So as long as something went wrong in the Civil War, the northern nobles would have no choice but to go back to the north and eat the sand.
The northern nobles are indeed very capable of fighting, but the territory of the northern nobles consists of mountains and sand, with little output and basically no way to support people. The output of the Kushan Essence Area is very important to the northern nobles and represents their lifeline.
Therefore, when they received the news that the Han Dynasty was attacking Brahmas, the major generals belonging to the northern nobles flew directly back to their respective garrison points in the north, ordered 50,000 pairs of talented elites, and dispatched urgently, led by 20,000 cavalry.
