When Sima Zhang came, he was prepared not to go back. Even if he had mastered Dilip's abilities and knew the character of Vesuthiva I, if Sima Zhang came in person at this time, there would still be a risk of exposure.
What's more, the arrival of Zhu He, who is still a mystery to this day, makes Sima Zhang's actions very risky.
In addition, there was no shortage of wise men among the Brahmins, and Sima Zhang himself was also being watched. It was impossible to hide this from all the Brahmins when he came to see Vesudeva I personally at night.
But even so, Sima Zhang still came. After all, he didn't think that his identity could be concealed forever. Even with the cover of the Shulac family, Sima Zhang couldn't make it perfect. Instead of letting others find out the flaws, it was better to do it himself.
Seize the opportunity to blow yourself up.
If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to deal a fatal blow, Sima Zhang felt that the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty would last for ten years.
Only because of Guishuang's frequent tricks could the Han Dynasty kill such a huge empire within ten years. Otherwise, it would take even longer.
Originally, when Sima Zhang infiltrated into Kushan, Sima Zhang felt that with his own ability, he could turn the country upside down in minutes. Later, when Guan Yu attacked Peshawar, Sima Zhang felt that the country would be finished within five years.
, so he ruthlessly killed the only three-talented commander in Kushan, trying to make Kushan go faster.
After that, they incited the Brahmins to besiege Vesudeva I and prepare a beheading plan to send Kushan on his way in a more efficient way.
However, now that the war has started, Sima Zhang finally calmed down as he looked at the rice that was heading again in the Ganges and Indus river basins. Kushan did not seem to be a country that could be destroyed quickly.
It doesn’t mean anything else. All you need to do is sprinkle seeds on the acres here. No matter what the seeds are, they will produce crops, and it will take up to four months to harvest. In this case, all quick success methods are useless. Food
The output determines the upper limit of the troops that the country can use, and this upper limit is so huge that Sima Zhang has nothing to say.
Thousands of Qi have been refined into Gang, and hundreds of internal Qi have left the body. Even this is not all. Even if most of them are not considered outstanding in the Han Dynasty, the huge pile of human resources is
A group of backbones can be piled up.
As long as the war continues, this country will sooner or later have famous generals and elites. As long as the food in the rear can be continuously supplied, the war can continue. In the agricultural era, feudal imperialism was so simple and crude.
People in the Sima family are all knowledgeable in the art of war and mathematics. Sima Zhang once calculated how long Kushan could last with an average daily loss of 300 people on the front line, given its current size and supply of supplies at the rear.
, the final conclusion is that as long as the Kushan rear does not collapse, it seems that Kushan can maintain its status for several decades.
After calculating such a thing, Sima Zhang realized that it was impossible to stab Guishang to death with the current method, and it would make Guishang uncomfortable. Even after Guishang took a breath, the Han Dynasty would need to win if he wanted to.
Spend more effort.
The average loss of three hundred people per day was already considered a very outrageous war in Sima Zhang's opinion. In fact, generally speaking, wars were intermittent. On average, if the number of enemies killed exceeded one hundred per day, it was a very serious situation.
As for the time when Zhang Liao led the White Horse Yi Cong, it was really a rare achievement. At other times, if there was a real stalemate, the number of kills would not be too high.
The size of the Kushan Empire can withstand this kind of loss. Think about the size of the Zhao State during the Changping Period. With a loss of 400,000, it will be able to gather the manpower to fight against the Yan State in the future. The Kushan Empire is now 2.
Ten times that of Zhao State, even if it becomes white, it will take several years to kill.
After discovering all this, Sima Zhang realized that it was a bit of a dream to kill Guishang with these petty quarrels. No matter how good Chen Xun and Sima's layout was, it would only be the icing on the cake for the Han-Guishan war.
Is this what the three of them want? If it is for such a small thing, why should they risk their lives? It was precisely because of these considerations that Sima Zhang started the Death Plan.
Sima Zhang, who was covered in blood, looked at Bankim's direction and fell down with mockery, but Bankim's hands and feet were really cold at this moment.
"Quickly, save people!" Bankim yelled. They brought crossbows and arrows with them not to kill Sima Zhang, but to frighten the opponent. They didn't want Sima Zhang to be so stubborn and rushed over with his sword, and then
With a shake of his hand, arrows shot out and Sima Zhang fell.
There was no way to save him. An ordinary Qi-Cheng Gang received more than a dozen powerful crossbow arrows, and one arrow even passed through Sima Zhang's left chest. Unless Hua Tuo was present, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Seeing Sima Zhang lying in a pool of blood, Bankim's hands and feet were cold at this moment, and other Brahmins who followed Bankim also reacted at this time. They shot a Brahmin without trial, and it was
A Brahmin who had a very high status and was on par with them.
"It's all over..." Bankim looked at the already dead Sima Zhang. Everything he had imagined before completely disappeared. Even the prepared questioning lines completely lost their meaning. The Brahmin killed the Brahmin without trial.
, what a mockery.
Under the caste system, Brahmins cannot impose the death penalty, nor can they impose any corporal punishment. This is a manifestation of the sanctity of Brahmins.
This is why Rahul has done so many things. The Brahmin never said that he wanted to kill Rahul. Twenty years ago, he was banned. When he defeated Vesudeva I, he hinted that Vesudeva I would kill him.
Hur!
As for the Brahmin class, even if they want Rahul to die, they will not say anything like killing Rahul, let alone kill him.
Even if Rahul was caught and did not die on the battlefield, the most the Brahmin caste could do was judge, sanction, and then continue to ground Rahul.
As for killing a Brahmin, I'm sorry, there is no such law in Brahmanism. Brahmins are supreme. Even if they have hierarchies within them, and there are differences in areas, in front of other castes, they are superior and sacred.
Violation!
The only exception is the area under Li You's rule. Those Brahmins are biting each other. The Kushan people are also vaguely aware of these things. But on the one hand, they do not admit that Brahmins would do such things.
The dirty water, on the other hand, they can also be said to be coerced by the swords and guns of the Han Dynasty.
In any case, at least the Brahmins can explain the situation in the Han Dynasty, but Bankim cannot explain what is happening now.
Bankim looked at Sima Zhang's body with a complicated expression. If before he thought that Zhang was just bewitched by Vesutiva I, now he really believed that Zhang escaped into Buddhism to forget his love.
The Buddha became a demon and wanted to destroy Brahman even if he died.
"No one should tell anyone about what happened today." Bankim was also very upset at this time. He knew very well that if today's incident was exposed, the Brahmin class would be doomed.
Even if Bankim's intelligence is not inferior to Zhu Helai's, Sima Zhang's approach is tantamount to direct generalship.
As the leader of a major faction within the Brahmin class, he assassinated the boss of another major faction. As long as he was exposed, there would be no reason why the Brahmins would not collapse.
At this time, other Brahmins also reacted. Looking at the crossbows in their hands, some of them simply threw away their weapons. None of them thought about killing Sima Zhang. They came here just to expose Sima Zhang's side of trapping Brahmins.
Then Sima Zhang will be tried and sanctioned by public prosecution, just like Rahul was dealt with back then, and he will be banned.
However, they relied on this young Brahmin who had lowered his status to find a handle on Sima Zhang, but in the process, they killed Sima Zhang.
What does this mean now? They themselves disagreed with Sima Zhang's political views and belonged to the conservative Brahmins who united around Bankim. But now they did the most unethical thing as a Brahmin, they killed another Brahmin.
Political disagreements, the destruction of the sanctity of the Brahmin class, and the use of weapons to kill opponents. Taken together, the Brahmin members who united around Bankim looked at Bankim with complicated and sad eyes. They destroyed it with their own hands.
Brahmin.
Looking at the Brahmins who had even thrown away their weapons, Bankim loudly warned everyone to calm down. Now things can barely be undone. After all, these people are from their lineage. As long as no one else knows, this matter can still be covered up.
Just leave the blame to Zhu He. I believe there is still a tacit understanding between the other party and myself.
However, it is obvious that the people of Bankim's faction have begun to collapse. Even if Bankim notices this, he can only persuade them, but cannot kill them all to keep this secret. After all, they have just killed them before.
Bankim also needs to slow down the impact of a Brahmin. Killing so many of his own people again is no less than destroying the Great Wall.
The Shulac family did not receive Sima Zhang's second report that night, and the Sima family's manpower who took over Sima Zhang immediately began to take over the back-up force left by Sima Zhang.
The secret was quickly put on the table, and the joint meeting of the Brahmin class was instantly thrown into chaos. Bankim insisted that he did not kill him, while the Shurak family insisted that it was Bankim who did it!
Unfortunately, the Shurak family, which had no evidence, soon fell into a disadvantage, and the situation began to develop in the direction Bankim hoped. After all, Brahmins have always had a good reputation in this regard.
At this time, a certain Brahmin under Bankim died suddenly, so that a certain Brahmin who originally followed Bankim finally could not bear the pressure and stood up and announced the secret technique that Sima Zhang had left on the young Brahmin -
—The image of Bankim and others killing Sima Zhang.
