Dong Zhuo's eyes widened, Jia Xu nodded and said: "Exactly, I am going to support the rebels and capture Marakanda..." Dong Zhuo suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "No!", he He took off his armor, threw it on the ground, and ran out. Jia Xu also quickly followed. Outside the camp, it was already in full swing. The generals were roaring and the soldiers were running back and forth.
"Hua Xiong?!"
"Where's Hua Xiong?!"
Dong Zhuo let go of his voice and roared. As soon as he roared a few words, a military prince ran up from the side and said quickly: "General, the Huaxiao Lieutenant led a vanguard of three thousand people to ambush...", listen When the Marquis said this, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and roared: "Who allowed him to do anything without permission!!"
"If you weren't a general, why would you let Hua..."
"Stop making noise!! Send people to recover Hua Xiong quickly, don't act rashly!!"
Hearing what Dong Zhuo said, the military lord also panicked. He quickly ran away, found a horse, and rushed out with his men. Dong Zhuo was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and walked around in front of the camp. Jia Xu He was quite calm, and even tried to persuade him: "Mr. Dong, there's no need to be like this, it's okay, it's okay..."
"Hey, you too. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance? You literati like to do this. Tell me at the end and pretend to be a wise man. What do you think should be done? What if Hua Xiong He really killed someone, but he still surrendered and supported him!!" Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu and complained angrily, but Jia Xu did not argue with him and waited patiently.
The main force of the Northern Army has assembled here and is waiting for Dong Zhuo's order.
After waiting for less than half an hour, I saw a large group of people rushing towards the camp. The leader was Hua Xiong. He was followed by the military princes sent by Dong Zhuo. Hua Xiong laughed and jumped from the horseback. He turned over and jumped down, pushed through the crowd, walked quickly to Dong Zhuo, threw it suddenly, and a human head rolled down in front of Dong Zhuo. It was a Kushan man, with wide eyes and a look of death.
"Haha, general, Hua Xiong is lucky to have lived up to his command!"
"This Kushan people are so contemptuous of others. This guy, when he saw my soldiers and horses, he was not afraid. He asked the soldiers to stop and rushed over alone. I didn't bully him, so I just charged alone. I went up to fight with him, but I didn't expect that this guy didn't even use a sword, he was using his bare hands, and he even scolded me with bird songs that I couldn't understand. How could I, Hua Xiong, endure this guy's contempt, so I chopped him off with one blow!"
"His subordinates, when they saw him being chopped down, were so frightened that they all surrendered. They didn't want their weapons anymore and they all squatted on the ground!"
Hua Xiong said proudly and looked at Dong Zhuo, waiting for his praise.
Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and frowned, knowing in his heart that something was wrong. His previous order was to let Hua Xiong serve as a vanguard to detect the enemy's situation, not to let him attack. Therefore, this fault will not fall on Dong Zhuo. However, Jia Xu's previous plans were all in vain, and the emperor was still waiting for the result. The blame would fall on Hua Xiong's head.
Hua Xiong went out without permission and undermined the general strategy. This was not a small crime. If Jia Xu had talked too much, the emperor would not have spared him.
Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong in front of him for a long time, which made Hua Xiong feel numb in his heart.
He said: "Those Kushan people originally came to surrender."
Suddenly, there was silence, and everyone fell silent, especially Hua Xiong, who had not yet understood the situation, and looked confused. Dong Zhuo said again: "However, this guy has been harboring evil intentions for a long time. He used a false surrender plan to plot evil, and was arrested by the Chinese school.
If the lieutenant sees through it, kill him on the spot..." Upon hearing Dong Zhuo's words, everyone immediately began to exclaim again.
In the crowd, Xu Huang frowned, as if he had thought of something, but he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "The Chinese captain is mighty!"
"The Chinese captain is mighty!!"
Everyone shouted, Hua Xiong touched his head and smiled stupidly.
The plan to fake surrender? How did you discover it?
Dong Zhuo took Jia Xu into the camp, looked at Jia Xu, and asked: "Jia Gong, what I just said is not true?"
Jia Xu, who had always been calm, was a little flustered at this time. He felt a murderous intention coming from Dong Zhuo on the opposite side. Dong Zhuo's eyes were a little violent. Jia Xu felt that as long as he said something untrue, this guy would be killed.
He wanted to kill himself immediately, and then report back to the temple and say that he died heroically. Jia Xu did not want to die heroically. The strategy failed. You can think about it again. If the person is gone, then there will be nothing.
"What General Dong said is absolutely true. These Kushan rebels have the heart of tigers and wolves!" Jia Xu cursed angrily.
A smile appeared on Dong Zhuo's face. He stretched out his hand, patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, and said, "Captain Mingjian, I wonder if you have any advice for me next?"
"Next, I'm going to see those prisoners of war and think of another way..."
"good!"
After leaving the camp, Jia Xu was still a little scared. This guy was really cruel. He actually wanted to kill himself for a mere school captain. It seemed that if nothing happened in the future, it would be better not to get too close to him...
With this in mind, he rushed to the place where the prisoners of war were being held. When he saw the Taiwei coming, the soldiers around him also saluted. When Jia Xu walked into the prisoner of war camp, he saw another person.
This person is Cao Cao. Cao Cao is sitting on a Hu chair and chatting with the Kushan people around him. He looks a bit arrogant. The Kushan people around him are talking hurriedly, and Jia Xu can't understand a word.
, he watched for a moment, then stepped forward. When he saw Jia Xu coming, Cao Cao quickly stood up and bowed: "Meet the Taiwei!"
"You don't need to be polite, Duke Cao. I wonder if Duke Cao actually knows this Kushan language?"
"Hahaha, I just know a thing or two..." Cao Cao said, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Jia Xu. Jia Xu was a little curious, so he took the book and read it. The book said
"Kushan Language Translation". He had never heard of this book. He read it carefully for a moment. It described in detail the difference between Kushan language and Yayan. It even taught the pronunciation of Kushan language with homophonic pronunciation, and used Yayan to teach the pronunciation of Kushan language.
A comparison.
Jia Xu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. The person who wrote this book is simply an eternal genius. He could analyze the language so thoroughly that he even recorded the Kushan dialect and even conducted simple dialogues.
Note the homophony, this... what a great talent, what a great talent, Jia Xu quickly asked: "Is this written by Cao Gong???"
"No."
"Who is that person? Can you recommend me?"
“Can’t recommend it.”
"oh?"
"It was written by Liu Gong, the former governor of Jiaozhou."
Jia Xu understood, nodded, sighed again, and said: "Today we know Liu Gong's talents..." Cao Cao smiled and said: "There are seven other books, namely Fuyu, Japanese, and Goguryeo.
Language, Qiang, Funan, Dongyi, Xiongnu..."
Jia Xu was stunned. His eyes widened and he asked, "Are all those books in Duke Cao's hands?"
"No, I just borrowed a copy from Zhuge Consort's hands..."
"In the library? Why have I never seen it?"
"Haha, Zhuge Prince Consort originally wanted to put it in the library, but many ministers objected and refused to put it on the grounds that barbarian words cannot be listed with the saint's book."
"Idiot." With his character, Jia Xu couldn't hold back. He shook his head and cursed. He looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Come here to investigate the situation... Lieutenant Commander, I think it is impossible to capture Guishuang." Cao Cao suddenly spoke, and Jia Xu was not annoyed. He looked at him and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Guishan is really far away from us, even Malakanda, which is connected to the Western Region. Even if we capture it, it would be too difficult to garrison here and we can't transport supplies... Our soldiers will also suffer.
Without the climate there..." Cao Cao said seriously, Jia Xu laughed, nodded, and said: "That's true. It's really impossible to garrison soldiers and establish counties."
"Then...what does the Lieutenant want?"
"When I came here, I brought Nishejia with me. I think Duke Cao knew that the rebels started to rebel in this person's name..."
"What I mean is to help Nishejia capture the Malakanda area and defeat the Kushan army so that they will not be able to cause harm to Malakanda in a short period of time. Of course, all this is done with Nishejia.
This was carried out in the name of Sejia, we are all the guards brought by Sejia with money, not the Northern and Southern Han Army..." Jia Xu revealed all the plans in his heart.
Cao Cao thought seriously, suddenly laughed, and said: "The Taiwei is going to help Nishejia build a country, appoint a minister of state, leave no soldiers, and make this place a vassal state of my Han Dynasty?" Cao Cao reacted so quickly.
, but this was what Jia Xu did not expect. Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's true... In these days, I have been observing Nisejia every day..."
"This man has been studying in Taixue for more than ten years... he has excellent moral character... and even became the grandson-in-law of Duke Kang Cheng. He can be recognized as a great Confucian by Kang Cheng, and he will never rebel against the emperor if he is a prince.
What's more, there is still a capable person who will stay by his side to help him... If we can't leave soldiers here, we will use Kushan people to control Kushan."
"Oh, a capable person? I wonder which capable person it is?" Cao Cao asked with some confusion.
"It's down there."
Cao Cao was speechless for a moment, his eyes widened, and Jia Xu said: "Mr. Cao, I would like to have a few words with the Guishan soldiers. I wonder if Gong Cao can help?" Cao Cao immediately agreed,
Jia Xu chatted with many prisoners here. During the conversation, Jia Xu also realized that something was wrong. These soldiers behaved very respectfully and showed no hostility. Even if Hua Xiong killed his general, they did not
Any sadness or anger.
"Did Mr. Jia also notice it?"
Cao Cao asked, Jia Xu nodded, Cao Cao smiled and said: "The Kushan people have a system that is difficult to understand. They divide people into four types...the names are very strange...the first class is
The second-class priests in their country are the kings, as well as the princes and generals from various places, and most of these soldiers are third-class, and some are fourth-class..."
"They thought we were the second class, so the war between us and their generals was also a battle between the second class. After their generals failed, they treated us the same way they treated their original generals, because defeating
We, who were their former generals, became their leaders..." Cao Cao explained, although it was a bit complicated, Jia Xu could still understand it.
"Hahaha, when the Yuezhi people invaded them and established the Kushan Kingdom, they abolished this hierarchical system and believed that the status of priests could not exceed that of the king. However, they continued to implement this system later. It seems that among them,
People with insight also understand the wonderful effects of this system..." Cao Cao smiled and said: "Unfortunately, now we also know the wonderful effects of this system."
