The first thousand four hundred and forty-four chapters war of words
Chapter 1,444 War of words
Jia Xu looked at the city in front of him and spoke to the translator beside him, asking Harriwan to reply.
"Jia Xu, right? Hariwan is here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
After hearing the translator's words, Harivan was not afraid and stuck his head out directly.
"General Hariwan, you must have understood the current situation in Kushan. The navy in the south that you are proud of has been completely wiped out by me. The Ganges River, which was regarded as an insurmountable chasm, has become a stream in front of my door. Now I
There are 500,000 horse and infantry troops here. You only have over 100,000 soldiers and horses. It will definitely be difficult to resist.
If you go to the north, your disadvantage will be even greater. I, His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, will personally march with an army of millions.
Along the way, all the countries in the Western Region have surrendered. Wusun, Xiongnu, Dawan, and even Kangju have all sworn allegiance to China and sent troops to accompany the conquest.
At this time, Li Te was in the province, and Khwarezm was looking at the wind and descending. Although Daxia resisted, your prince seemed to have died on the battlefield, and the whole Daxia also returned to China.
I know that you still have a high defense line that you are proud of, but you cannot resist my million-strong Chinese army, so I advise you to surrender."
Jia Xu glanced at Hariwan on the city wall. This general of the Kushan Empire did have two brushes.
Although it has always been difficult to win against himself, he has learned a lot from the lessons of several failures, and he can be considered as fighting against himself.
If it were anyone else, Heldvar might already be in his pocket now.
"Jia Xu, I am the general of the Kushan Empire. Do you think it is possible for you to persuade me to surrender now?"
Facing Jia Xu's words, Hariwan shook his head slightly. He is the general of the Kushan Empire and the pillar of the Kushan Empire. If he really wanted to surrender, he would not have to endure the hardship here and would have run away long ago.
Back to the capital.
"Hariwan, there is a saying in China that he who knows the current affairs is a good man, good birds choose trees to roost in, and good ministers choose their masters to do their work.
If you are willing to surrender to China, I guarantee that you can at least become the governor of a state, which is comparable to the provincial governor of Kushan, or even say that Guishan is far away from China. When the time comes, I will recommend you to become the king of Kushan and help
It is not impossible for China to rule one side."
Facing Hariwan, Jia Xu can be said to be eloquent. No matter whether it can be achieved or not, he will put everything on the other side. As long as you are willing to surrender, everything will be easy to handle.
"King Kushan, is the Emperor of China really willing to give up?
Do you think I believe you have spent all your efforts across the entire Western Region to kill Kushan just to change the dynasty in Kushan?"
Harivan sneered. His ability to achieve the position of general showed that the other party was not a simple warrior. He also knew a lot about politics. Otherwise, it would be impossible to survive in the turbulent court.
When Jia Xu spoke, Hariwan understood that the other party was deceiving him. If China allowed the emergence of the Kushan King, it would cost millions of troops and countless grains and grass to make wedding clothes for others. No country would do this.
, at least he didn’t believe that China would do this.
"Haha, if General Hariwan doesn't believe it, I have an imperial edict here. It was delivered by His Majesty, the Emperor of China, on an eight-hundred-mile horse. As long as you agree, I will draft the edict for you on the spot."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he directly glanced at his personal guard, who immediately brought a wooden box inlaid with gold and jade from behind.
"Forget it, Harivan has eaten everything in his life, except for one thing. Jia Xu, do you know what that thing is?"
Seeing that Jia Xu was serious, Hari Wan couldn't help but frowned. He originally wanted to talk to the opponent and dampen the opponent's morale, but who knew that this guy didn't act according to common sense and really had an imperial edict from the Emperor of the Chinese Empire.
This is so embarrassing.
"I can't control Hariwan and what you can't eat. Since you don't accept the canonization of China, don't stop others."
"Soldiers on the wall, listen, the Chinese Empire's holy purpose is here. Who can kill Hariwan and dedicate the city to me, China?
I will add his name to the imperial edict to ensure that he becomes the governor of a province or even the new king of Kushan. The opportunity is here, and I hope everyone can cherish it."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he patted the wooden box in front of him with his hand, and then scanned the Kushan army on the wall with his eyes. All the people he scanned lowered their heads without exception, because these people were all
There are desires and there are ambitions.
If there really is a Chinese imperial edict, then as long as they can capture Hariwan, they are basically guaranteed to become the governor of a province or even, in the previous step, become the King of Kushan. This is simply a problem for everyone except Hariwan.
An opportunity to change their lives depends on whether they take it or not.
"General, be well. I'm waiting for your head to be delivered to my desk. I'm waiting for the warrior who loves China to appear. One more thing,
The Huaxia came for righteousness and did not kill the Kushan people. From now on, when the Kushans come to our country, they will be just like the people of the Huaxia. There is no distinction between high and low. There is no need to hate us."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he left the city wall directly under the escort of Ma Chao and Tai Shici, leaving the Heldewald defenders looking at each other with nothing to say.
"Why don't you say anything?
I, Hariwan, have put my words here. If anyone wants to take my life, Hariwan, just come. I will never fight back, but if you want to exchange my head for glory and wealth, you must weigh your own weight.
Understand how much you weigh."
"The reason why China bribed me with high-ranking officials and generous salaries is because as long as I surrender, it means that the empire's resistance in the south will be completely collapsed, and they can easily go north to the imperial capital and completely destroy the empire.
All in all, I am useful to China, and the bribes they gave me are worth every penny, but what about you?
Who can guarantee that after killing me, you will be able to reach China safely instead of being captured by the city guards? Even if you can get out of the city, you still have a useless Kushan people. You still naively think that China will do anything for you.
Provincial Governor or King of Kushan?
Just dream."
Hariwan felt the vague murderous intention of those around him. He knew that he was Tang Seng now, and whoever could eat him would definitely be able to fly off the ground, so he spoke quickly and began to reduce the power of Jia Xu's words.
to the lowest.
Sure enough, after what he said, everyone around Hariwan lowered their heads and remained silent. Just as Hariwan said, except for himself, who was worthy of China and used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over him, there was no one from the generals down to the soldiers.
Have this qualification.
Thinking about it, most of the people who wanted to kill Hariwan were immediately reduced. Of course, there are still some desperate gamblers who still want to take a gamble.
But it is obvious that now is not the time to launch. When the opportunity does arise, they will definitely take Hariwan down without hesitation and dedicate it to the Chinese Empire in exchange for their own vested interests.
"Okay, everyone, calm down and concentrate on defense. As I said before, behind us is the empire and our homeland. In order to prevent China's butcher knife from killing our wives, children, and children, we can only fight with each other."
"Fight with the Chinese."
"Fight."
"That's right, Chinese people, kill them."
After hearing Hariwan's words, the originally low morale on the city wall rose again. The Kushan soldiers beat the city wall with their shields with red eyes, waiting for the Chinese army to attack.
"Military advisor, it seems that the reward you just offered didn't work?"
Taishi Ci followed Jia Xu, turned to look at the city wall behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head at Jia Xu.
"Some things cannot be looked at on the surface, nor on the present, but on the heart and the future. Although I just planted a seed this time, who can predict whether it will bloom in the future, and whether there will really be someone."
Cut off Harrivan's head and bring it to my table,
Ziyi, remember, everyone has desires and ambitions, and as long as they can be stimulated, it will be impossible to suppress them."
Facing Tai Shici's words, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said some specious words. As for whether he could understand what he meant, it all depends on the other person.
"Military advisor, do you really have His Majesty's decree?"
Compared with Taishi Ci, Ma Chao's focus is obviously different.
"Of course it's impossible. It's an imperial edict, and it's still a blank edict. If it is used by people with evil intentions, the damage to the empire will be incalculable."
Jia Xu shook his head. He had deceived Hariwan in all this. Since Hariwan didn't succeed, he could be considered successful in defrauding the generals and soldiers around him.
"Then if Hariwan agrees to your request and really leads everyone to surrender, what should you do?"
When he heard that Jia Xu was deceiving his opponent, Ma Chao's eyes also lit up. He understood the saying that a soldier never tires of deceit, but there were not many people who could use Jia Xu to do whatever he wanted.
"The so-called war is never tired of deceit, which means that what is true is false and what is true is false. If Hariwan really leads the people to surrender, then this imperial edict is true. If he refuses it in public like now, then this imperial edict is naturally false, Meng Qi
,Do you understand it?"
Jia Xu nodded. Although these were the simplest things, since Ma Chao asked, he had to answer them clearly.
"Ma Chao understands that the so-called war is never tired of deceit. The word "deception" lies in the word "deceit". This deceit cannot be just a lie, but it must also become true when you need it. Only in this way can it be true and false, and false and true, so that the enemy cannot figure out your own secrets.
Only by combining falsehood and reality can we defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.”
Ma Chao saluted Jia Xu. The other party's instructions were too timely. He was now somewhat confused about how to use troops.
In the past, he was just a fierce general who could just advance wildly. Now as a general, commanding all the troops, he often needs to decide his own strategies. This has caused him to be unable to form his own style.
This time I got a glimpse of Jia Xu, and I have some ideas of my own. I believe that after he integrates everything, he will definitely develop his own unique military path.
"kindness."
After hearing Ma Chao's words, Jia Xu knew that the other party had realized something of his own from his words.
However, the path between reality and truth is too deep, and a misunderstanding may lead to a wrong path. These things can only be understood but cannot be expressed. I can only hope that Ma Chao can find his own path.
One strategy has two different insights. Tai Shici realized human nature, while Ma Chao realized false reality. I have to say that Jia Xu is really a bit scary.
"Was the trebuchet ready?"
Jia Xu returned to the army and went directly to the trebuchet unit to inquire about the assembly progress of the trebuchet.
"It still needs a little time, military advisor, what's wrong?"
The captain in charge of the trebuchet couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't understand why Jia Xu cared so much about the trebuchet.
"In the first wave of volleys, let me attack with all my troops near the tower. In the first wave, I will use net-breaking shells and heavy shells. I want to see if Hariwan will live and die with the Kushan soldiers on the city wall."
