Chapter 457 General Kraft

Major General Anxi hung it on the wall and achieved true peace.

Of course, with his body and head separated, he might not be able to rest in peace.

But as soon as this happened, everyone in the tribes was in danger, and the Huns army could not rest in peace.

The Parthians had made great contributions to the Xiongnu and were the tribe that contributed more to the Xiongnu army, but in the end they ended up like this.

How could this not make all tribes feel chilling and frightened.

Especially the Yuezhi and Persian tribes, who are a little cautious, are even more frightened, fearing that they will be the next unlucky ones.

Of course, what the Persians feared was the hatred of other tribes. After all, the destruction of the Parthians was directly related to them.

Persian general Kaif was a Persian nobleman from a merchant family.

No matter what I do, I like to use interests as the criterion for measuring gains and losses.

Kraft attaches great importance to the role of property and money, and often uses money and materials to solve problems.

This kind of people can get along anywhere, so the relationship between Persians and Huns is the best.

Of course, in the eyes of the Huns, the Persians were nothing more than a tool for them to make money.

The Persian army, under the leadership of General Kafu, followed the Huns in the Eastern Expedition. It can be said that it was the coercive army that suffered the least losses and made the most profits.

Although they did not achieve many military exploits, the actual benefits were many.

Especially the battle of Kucha highlighted Kraft's wisdom.

This also made other tribes hate the rich.

"Listen to me. You should be low-key in your actions recently. What happened yesterday must not happen again! What happened in Kucha has already made others jealous, and now there is the Anxi incident. Some tribes are already very unfriendly to us.

!Did you hear that?”

"Yes! General! We must pay attention."

After Kraft heard that the Major General was destroyed by the Parthians hanging on the wall, he immediately called a meeting with his subordinates and ordered everyone to keep a low profile recently.

Regarding the matter of the battalion captain, Kraft had already punished their own lieutenant general. The lieutenant general used money when he went to communicate, so he jumped up in front of Major General An Anxi.

When the battalion captain and Major General An An were fighting, the lieutenant-general also fanned the flames.

Kraft was very angry and gave the lieutenant a severe lesson.

He has no objection to using money, and he often uses money himself.

But Kraft is very low-key. Even if he has a good relationship with the Huns, he will not rely on this relationship to show off his power.

This kind of low-key thing makes Kraft disgusted.

Everyone was educated, and they all agreed. Kraft emphasized it again, and said that anyone who dared to jump around in the future would be directly chopped off.

The lieutenants were so frightened that they shrank their necks and nodded in response.

After the meeting, Kraft leaned on the couch and thought about the future.

Although the Huns suppressed the Parthians forcefully, what Kafu saw was the guilty conscience and lack of confidence of the Huns.

The Huns have become intolerant and even fearful of this kind of thing, and they no longer have a strong heart.

When it is necessary to use force and iron blood to stabilize one's political power, this force is not far from destruction.

A "witchcraft" by the Dagan people made the Huns nervous and unable to withstand any disturbance.

"It seems that the Huns can no longer afford the position of each tribe's warrant."

"It won't be long before the Huns are defeated!"

"Once the Dagan people came over... the relationship between Persia and Dagan seemed to be pretty good. But this time they invaded eastward..."

"I wonder if they have any grudge against this eastward invasion? After all, Persia is involved..."

"What should I bring out so that the Persian warriors can return to Isfahan safely? Alas! What a headache!"

Kraft leaned his head on his head and rubbed his temples, thinking hard. He was already thinking about the way out.

Gumozhou goes too far into the territory of Daqian, and it is probably five or six thousand miles from here back to Persia.

If the Dagan people were chasing after them at such a long distance, Kafu would not be sure that he could bring the Persian army back safely.

"Gold and silver? It seems that Daqian is not short of these for his wealth."

"Land...Persia and Dagan are bordering each other, but they are too far away. I don't know if the people of Dagan want it..."

“It seems it’s not easy to get Da Gan’s understanding!”

Kraft was at a loss and couldn't think of any good way to retreat safely.

If the Huns were defeated once or twice, the entire Huns army would be in chaos.

Kafu was not sure whether the Persians could still be safe.

"General, there are three Huns soldiers outside who want to see you."

While Kraft was thinking hard about countermeasures, the waiter came to report.

"Huns? Let in."

Kafu didn't know the purpose of the Huns' visit, but after all, they were the envoys of the clan leader and he had to see them, so he stood up and went to the front hall, waiting for the waiter to bring them in.

Wang Kai and the other two followed the waiter directly into the Persian camp.

Soon he met the Persian general Kaif.

"Three of you, but the boss has something to give you?"

It was broad daylight and at such a close distance, the faces of Wang Kai and the others could be seen clearly.

Daqian and Huns still look different.

But Kafu didn't think much about it. There were indeed many Dagan men in the Huns' tent.

The Huns captured some Dagan people during their last expedition to the Western Regions.

There are many types of traitors among them, such as the traitor who persuaded Xu Wei to surrender and was killed by Xu Wei.

Wang Kai cupped his fists and said, "General Kraft, this matter is confidential. Can we talk to you alone?"

Kraft was stunned. You are an ordinary soldier or a big-time officer. What secrets can you convey to me?

Just when Kraft was about to refuse, he caught a glimpse of Wang Kai's eyes, but suddenly an idea flashed and he looked at the confident Wang Kai and said:

"Since it's a confidential matter, let's discuss it with me later."

Wang Kai smiled, knowing that Kraft would definitely chat with him.

Signing to the two soldiers to stay, he followed Kraft to the back hall.

Kraft asked the guards to stay away and guard, and did not allow anyone to get close before entering the inner hall.

Wang Kai smiled and asked the two brothers who were following him to wait outside the door.

"Your Excellency! Who are you?"

As soon as he entered the back hall and closed the door, Kraft put on a serious face and asked sternly.

Wang Kai smiled, ignored Kraft's question, and sat swaggeringly on a chair nearby.

"General Kraft. Are you testing me?"

Wang Kai poured himself a drink and took a sip of the saffron tea before speaking to Kraft.

"General? You...who are you!"

Kraft was stunned and asked in a low voice with a strange expression.

He had suspicions in his heart and was even more afraid of Wang Kai being exposed.

Wang Kai waved.

Kraft immediately came over and listened attentively, his obedient attitude was like a salesman meeting Party A’s father.

"This general is going to conquer the Western Army. General Pi, Zhaowu Colonel Wang Kai!"

Wang Kai said in a low voice.

General Pi is a temporary military position in each army and has no rank.

Wang Kai's actual official rank is Zhaowu Xiaowei, who is in the sixth rank.

Kraft's body trembled, and then he took a deep breath to calm down.

"Sir, you have tea. This is the best saffron brought from Persia!" Kafu personally poured a cup of tea for Wang Kai.

He didn't even doubt the authenticity of Wang Kai's identity, and already put on a humble posture.

"General Kraft, don't you doubt my identity?"

This time it was Wang Kai's turn to be a little surprised. Kraft calmed down too quickly. It seemed that this man's psychological quality was excellent.

"So what if it's true or false? I'm just wasting some time and losing a cup of tea. But it can benefit us Persians a lot."

Kraft sat back down, poured himself another cup of tea, raised his glass to Wang Kai and said.

In fact, Kraft knew that the Huns would not send people to test him like this.

Otherwise, if word of this gets out and the Huns distrust the tribes to this extent, then everyone can just disband.

Moreover, Wang Kai's temperament has the unique military atmosphere of the Western Conquest Army. Kraft can feel that Wang Kai and the two people he brought are elites of the Western Conquest Army.

"Haha! General Kraft is really different!"

Wang Kai laughed and gave Kraft a thumbs up.

Kraft frowned slightly and before he spoke, Wang Kai reacted.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that this gesture means provocation in Persia."

Over the years in the Western Regions, Wang Kai has some understanding of the customs of various countries and tribes.

He had had contact with the Persians, so he knew more.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I know this is a gesture from Daqian, which means very good and great. General Wang is really well-informed to know the customs of my Persians." Kafu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I have dealt with Persian businessmen, and they told me some things."

"Oh? What's the name of the Persian merchant?" Kafu asked curiously.

Anyone who can travel from Persia to Daqian to do business must be a wealthy merchant family in Persia. There are only a few such families, so maybe he even knows them.

"Hmm... what's your name? Ji Nu or something... Jia... oh yes, Jalal, that should be the name. Your names are too long and I don't remember them well, so I call him Lao Jia." Wang Kai frowned and thought about it.

It took him a long time to say, this name is too difficult to pronounce.

"Kianush Jalal? Short but fat?"

After listening to Wang Kai's words, Kraft directly called out the name, and the expression on his face became strange.

"Yes! There is a little fat man with a mole here. He also said that his family is from Persian nobles. Does General Kraft know him?" Wang Kai also asked curiously.

"Haha! Of course I know him, he is my cousin! And what he said is right, he is indeed a Persian noble. His mother and my mother are sisters, and the Persian emperor is my uncle."

Kraft smiled and revealed his identity by the way. Speaking of his identity, Kraft raised his head proudly, looking quite confident.

"I see! What a coincidence?"

Wang Kai was also surprised. He did not expect that the Persian businessman he had helped knew Kafu.

Of course, Wang Kai didn't care at all about Kraft's proud identity. What could be so arrogant about a small country...

Kraft didn't pretend to be cool, so he had no choice but to change the topic casually, chatted around Jalal for a while, and talked about Jalal's current situation.

Not even the Persian camp knew much about the fact that Jalal was his cousin, so there was no way Wang Kai would make a fuss about it.

This shows that Wang Kai has indeed met Jalal, not to mention that he can tell many stories about his relationship with Jalal.

Jalal is the owner of a caravan. His family has several caravans. Jalal has been to Dagan many times.

He even went to Chang'an City and experienced the beauty and prosperity of Chang'an.

The time Wang Kai helped Jalal, Jalal was transporting a batch of goods to the border army and was detained by the border patrol.

This matter happened to be under Wang Kai's control, and Jalal sent money to find Wang Kai.

Wang Kai personally checked the goods and found that there was indeed no contraband, which was within the acceptable category.

So he sold a favor and let Jalal go.

Later, Jalal would come to see Wang Kai every time he came to Daqian, and the two of them had a pretty good relationship.

Kraft and Wang Kai were chatting as if they were at home, talking about things that had nothing to do with the war.

But the joy on Kraft's face became more and more intense.

He has now fully confirmed Wang Kai's identity, and with Jalal's relationship, Kraft feels that the problem that troubled him just now can be solved.

However, both of them were relatively able to keep their composure, and neither of them talked about substantive things first.

Kraft found out Wang Kai's true identity and was completely relieved to treat the matter as a business deal.

At this time, the businessman attribute exploded, and the more we talked about Kraft, the more calm he became.

He even made an agreement with Wang Kai that if he had the opportunity to go to Persia in the future, he would treat Wang Kai to a drink.

The two of them were chatting like friends.

It was almost dark, but Wang Kai couldn't use up this guy anymore.

"General Kraft, you are indeed a steady-minded person! I admire you so much!" Wang Kai said, cupping his fists.

"A prize, a prize, a prize. By the way, what is the general doing here?"

Kraft also took the initiative to ask the question, rather than letting Wang Kai ask it himself.

Wang Kai was even more impressed by this businessman's ability to assess the situation, and smiled and said:

"The Huns are about to be defeated. I have an old relationship with Jalal, and I think the Persians are pretty good and haven't caused much harm to Dagan, so I came here to save the Persians!"

Kraft immediately became interested, leaned forward and asked, "Oh? How to save him? What do we need to do?"

"When do you think the Huns will be defeated?" Wang Kai asked back.

Kafulu frowned and said, "If Dagan attacks fiercely, we will be defeated in March. If Dagan doesn't attack... we may not be able to survive more than a month!"

Although this guy is inside, he can see clearly that there are undercurrents surging in various parts of the army, and it seems that the Huns will be unable to suppress them.

Wang Kai chuckled lightly and lowered his voice and said:

"Haha! What a good eye! Since General Kraft can also see this, I will tell you directly! My prince and general have determined that they will not take action against Gumozhou for the time being!"

"So if you want the Huns to collapse faster, you need General Kraft to push them from behind!"

Kafu looked at Wang Kai with a troubled expression and said: "Brother Wang, this matter is a little difficult. You don't know something. Because of some previous things, we Persians are not in harmony with other tribes."

"By the way, you have heard about what happened to the Parthians yesterday. In fact, the cause of this incident is also related to us. After such an incident, all tribes are quite hostile to us Persians."

Wang Kai curled his lips and said, "Isn't this just right? It's logical to use this hatred to do something."

"This...Brother Wang, if you do this, I'm afraid that once the Huns are destroyed, the Persians will be the next to be destroyed!" The anxious look on Kraft's face could not be concealed.

Wang Kai smiled and walked to Kraft's side, and Kraft also stood up.

"Brother Kraft, you are working for Dagan. How could Dagan allow the Persians to be destroyed? As long as you can handle this matter well, I promise to give advice to the prince and the general to protect the Persians!" Wang Kai patted Kraft. said the shoulder.

Kafu still looked hesitant and said: "Brother Wang, it's not that I don't believe you, but for us Persians, this matter involves more than 20,000 lives!"

"If... I can get the promise from the general or the prince, then I will try my best to get this done!"

Kraft wants to contact Song Hui or Song Yang directly.

Wang Kai held his chin and pondered for a while, and then said earnestly: "Brother Kraft, just for this, I think it will be difficult for you to get the promise of the prince or the general. After all, even if we do nothing, the Huns will definitely fall! By the time we arrive! At that time, the Persians will also be targeted by various tribes!"

Kraft understood that Wang Kai wanted benefits, and he had to come up with something substantial before he could negotiate with Da Gan.

Kafu thought for a while and said: "Brother Wang, before I came out, His Majesty the Emperor gave me privileges. I can use the gold and silver treasures at will, and I can decide on my own appointments and dismissals. Even... the land within a hundred miles can also be taken out. In exchange, I wonder if the prince and the general would like these?"

"I only have one request. After completing the mission, we Persians can go back to Persia. Brother Wang, please help us for Jalal's sake!" Kafu bowed and worshiped. He knew this It's a great etiquette.

Kraft showed all his trump cards, and even got into Jalal's face.

If Da Gan doesn't like this, he really has nothing to do.

Wang Kai smiled, this was what he wanted. Although he didn't know what the prince and the general wanted, Kraft's attitude was clear.

Whether it can be used or not depends on the intention of the boss.



Late at night, after having a meal and drinking in the Persian camp, Wang Kai led two soldiers into the darkness.

After confirming that no one was following him, Wang Kai went directly to the livestock farm and entered the secret passage in the well.

He was the deputy of the action team. When there was no way to contact Qiu Jin, he directly used the secret passage.

The Persians have reached an agreement here. As long as the Persians are willing to help, the Huns army will definitely collapse soon. This is a big deal.

Wang Kai decided to return to Qiuci overnight.

After successfully leaving Gumo Prefecture, Wang Kai and the others sneaked all the way and soon arrived at Axiyan City.

This city has been abandoned, but there is a secret base of the Western Conquest Army nearby.

Mount a fast horse at the stronghold, and set off overnight with two horses.

Early on the third day, Wang Kai returned to Qiuci.

When the Persians were mentioned, Song Hui didn't pay much attention, but Song Yang's eyes lit up and asked: "Is this Persian general Kafu someone who can talk?"

"It should be possible. He said that the Persian Emperor gave him the right to do things expediently." Wang Kai nodded.

Kraft talked a lot about going all out, but in fact it can be summed up in just four words: doing things cheaply...

"Is it okay to cede land?" Song Yang asked.

"According to what he said, it can be within a hundred miles." Wang Kai replied immediately.

Song Yang smiled and said to Wang Kai with a smile:

"Hey! Interesting! In this case, you agree to Kafu's request. Tell them that as long as they help us defeat the Huns, I will let them go back to Persia."

"Tell him that in exchange, the king may ask for a piece of Persian land! Where exactly is it? After they have dealt with the Huns, let Kafu come to see the king!"
