Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 284 There is a successor to Great Qin!

The more than 100,000 elite troops of the Western Region Allied Forces are now sitting in the city without food and grass. There are more than 40,000 Qin Army warriors armed to the teeth in front, and 120,000 Qiang troops behind them. The Kunlun Mountains, Tianshan Mountains and Qilian Mountains are blocking the way in the north and south respectively.

Already in a dead end, collapse is only a matter of time.

The generals are discussing, hoping to launch a breakout operation toward home before the morale of the army completely collapses. One by one they can escape.

But the difference lies in whether the coalition forces should disperse and break out, leaving the 120,000 Qiang troops to focus on one thing and miss the other, or whether they should concentrate their forces and focus on attacking one place to break out of the siege...

In the midst of the dispute, before the generals of the Western Regions could discuss an outcome, a surprise mutiny had already begun.

And the cause was just a few ridiculous naan pancakes!

Of course, this is only a superficial reason.

The real reason is the attitude of the two saints, the resolute attitude of black and white!

If you are our believer, a believer of Ahura, the God of Light, don’t live in the same room with despicable false believers!

If you are in the same room with false believers, you are not our believer, let alone a believer of Ahura, the God of Light!

In the past, even if Pasadai and her daughter adopted such an attitude, it would not affect the overall situation of the war. They would only be able to induce more devout fanatics to abandon the Western Region Allied Forces and join them.

But now the Western Region Allied Forces are in a desperate situation, and the hope of a successful breakout is almost slim.

To put it bluntly, defecting to the two saints nearby is the only chance for the soldiers of the Western Regions to survive and not become slaves.

This makes the statements of Pasadei and her daughter particularly important!

Soldiers in the Western Regions, whether they were truly pious or ordinary believers who appeared to be pious, had to make trade-offs.

Was he killed in battle or captured and made a castrated slave?

Or should he fall out with those false believers and seek refuge with the two saints?

This is undoubtedly a trade-off that is very easy to make. An ant can still survive, let alone a human being!

Therefore, Pasadai and her daughter led the team along the periphery of the Western Region army joint camp and distributed naan cakes to the Western Region sentry riders, which was like lighting up the mine fuses along the way.

Wherever you pass by, within a moment, the camp will explode, the soldiers will attack and kill each other, and the roar will be loud!

After receiving the news, the generals of the Western Regions who were discussing a breakout immediately went to the camp area where the mutiny took place to check. After they figured out what happened, they couldn't help but fall into deep despair.

Because there were no soldiers listening to their orders, and the personal guards who came forward to suppress them were quickly annihilated!

By this time, there was no longer any need for the instigation of Pasadei and her daughter, and the soldiers of the Western Regions began to spontaneously attack the false believers to find a way out for themselves!

The mutiny is spreading in all directions at an unstoppable speed...

"The witch! The vicious witch who ruins the morale of our soldiers~!"

Some generals from the Western Regions cursed unwillingly.

puff--

As soon as he finished cursing, a sword flashed past and cut off his head.

The murderer reached out to catch the fallen head, his face turned red and he shouted: "Whoever dares to insult the saint, I will fight to the death~!"

This sudden internal strife made the other generals in the Western Regions shocked and angry, but when they came to their senses, they looked sad again.

The only solution for now is to go to those two witches who are good at deceiving people, and beg them to protect their generals from being harmed by the Qin people!

A group of forlorn generals from the Western Regions exchanged a tacit look, and then turned their heads as if resigned to their fate, looking at the two majestic old men wearing moon-white robes with wings and flames embroidered on their cuffs.

They are the two high priests of Zoroastrianism sent by Daxia Kingdom!

The two old men were shocked when they were looked at by the generals of the Western Regions. The majesty on their faces gradually turned into anger, and they exclaimed in surprise: "What do you want to do? We are the apostles of Ahura, the God of Light, in the human world. How dare you believers to treat us... …”

"Why don't we dare?!"

The general from the Western Regions who took the lead in killing people coldly interrupted their conversation and said scornfully: "How can such timid and cowardly people have the dignity to claim to be Ahura's apostle?"

"When Darius III was weak, you abandoned him, and the Achaemenid dynasty was still destroyed..."

"When the two saints were weak, you turned your back on them, and still their country was ruined and their family was destroyed..."

"Now, we the countries in the Western Regions have united to resist the Qin people, but you still refuse to come forward... Don't you know that the Qin people enslaved the Western Regions, and the next step will be the Great Xia Kingdom, the Seleucid Dynasty, and the Peacock Dynasty, Roman Empire..."

"At that time, the people of Qin would not obey Ahura. The people of Qin wanted to enslave and flog everything in the world, including Ahura!"

The two old men were scolded and were speechless.

In fact, since they came to the battlefield, they also discovered that the Qin people were different, completely different from the Greeks back then.

What the Greeks want is conquest. As long as you are willing to surrender, everything is easy to negotiate.

But the people of Qin are the masters who believe in eating everything, swallowing and digesting everything that was originally there, and finally everything turned into the appearance of Great Qin!

Just like the Da Yuezhi who lived in the Hexi area back then, it only lasted a few years, as if they had never existed, and their country was truly destroyed!

Zoroastrianism's appeasement strategy may have been the only way to survive the sect in the past, but in front of the Qin people, it had only one end: it was silently destroyed in appeasement.

They realized the terror of the Qin people and had already written letters back to ask for help. But it was too late. The Qin people ruled the Western Regions and were unstoppable!

"No need to kill us, just take us to see those two witches..."

"You can also take credit for our survival..."

Since the two old men dared to come to this battlefield thousands of miles away, they had already put life and death aside, so they had no panic and calmly proposed the terms.

The generals of the Western Regions looked at each other, and then without saying anything, they asked the guards to come forward and tie up the two old men tightly...

…

…

Half an hour later, outside the Western Region Allied Forces camp!

Several generals from the Western Regions crawled in the dust and presented the two high priests tied into rice dumplings to Pasadei and her daughter.

Choking——

When Queen Pasadai saw an old acquaintance who betrayed her, she was extremely jealous. Regardless of the saint's character collapsing, she directly drew her sword and wanted to kill someone.

Fortunately, the little girl Anneway still had sense. She stopped her mother who was about to act willfully and lowered her voice to persuade her: "Stab them to death with a sword. Wouldn't it be easier for them? Then we can judge them later in front of hundreds of thousands of believers." Kill them and then inflict them with fire to relieve their anger!"

Queen Pasadei's red lips trembled. She took a deep breath for a long time, sheathed her long sword, then looked down at the two old men with her nostrils, and said proudly: "When you betrayed me, did you ever think about this day?"

The two old men tried their best to assume a prostrate posture and bowed sincerely: "Pasadei, you win, you will win everything in the end~!"

"But, you know the nature of the Qin people, don't serve them anymore."

"You are drinking venom to quench your thirst. It will not only harm yourself, but also Zoroastrianism, and even thousands of devout believers who wholeheartedly follow you..."

"You should give your believers a peaceful and stable life, instead of leading innocent and pitiful people to the abyss of hell..."

Bang bang——

Queen Pasadei became a little angry and kicked the two chattering old men down with two consecutive kicks. She snorted coldly: "Shut your stinky mouth. Is this the reason why you betrayed me in the first place?"

"Damn the people who are just trying to fiddle around. I have never heard of it in the past. I have never heard that those who just fiddle around can get eternal peace. Those who just fiddle around can only perish in the end!"

This is absolutely a wise saying. No country, nation, or even force can survive for a long time by relying on compromise. That will only invite ever-increasing oppression until it dies or is replaced.

Zoroastrianism's appeasement strategy and self-castrating aggressive teachings will indeed be replaced by the world's three major religions and become a leftover of history.

The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle, and it remains true to its origins for thousands of years.

"I'm not a child. I don't need you to teach me how to do things. I don't care about your hesitation... What I can do is to work hard to make Zoroastrianism one of the hundreds of Qin people and integrate into the secular and civilized system of Qin.

...If we don’t let it truly die, it will be worthy of my status as a saint!”

The first two sentences she said were quite tough, but by the time she finished speaking, she had a wry smile on her face.

The two old men were stunned, but then they suddenly realized and said sadly: "Sure enough... We were still wondering why you, a guy full of arrogant and aristocratic ideas, were able to create such a momentum in Da Qin, but now we finally understand...

…He’s just a pathetic puppet…”

Queen Pasadei did not expect that she would be ridiculed by the two old guys when she showed her true feelings. She suddenly broke her guard again and became angry and cursed: "I will burn you alive tomorrow, so you can have a good time~!"

The little girl Anneway shook her head helplessly and looked at the prostrate generals of the Western Regions. With a melancholy and pity that was inappropriate for her age on her young and pretty face, she said warmly: "Go and ask your soldiers to put down their weapons, take off their armor, and come out of the camp to surrender."

."

"I might be able to save all of you, even without castrating you into slavery."

"But don't do stupid things to anger the people of Qin, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"

The generals of the Western Regions buried their heads deeply in the dust and worshiped sadly: "I will follow the benevolent teachings of the saint..."

Then, they stood up and returned to their respective camps.

About a quarter of an hour later, one after another generals with sad faces, leading their soldiers wearing only leather robes, came out of the camp gates one after another, and prostrated on the ground facing Pasadei and her daughter from a distance.

The little girl Anneway said to the guards behind her: "Go back and tell General Han that you can send troops to accept the prisoners from the Western Regions."

"Here~!"

The guard immediately bowed his hands and accepted the order, led a group of camel knights, and galloped back to the Qin army's camp.

In fact, there was no need to return to life at all. The countless Qin army sentries responsible for supporting Pasadai and her daughter in the distance had already reported wave after wave of movements in the Western Region Allied Forces camp to Han Xin.

The moment the Western Region Allied Forces came out of the camp and knelt down without armor, Han Xin issued a military order, and all units of the army attacked to kill the Western Region Allied Forces camp.

Regardless of whether the Western Region Allied Forces really surrender or pretend to surrender, the Qin Army will force them to surrender!

The stretching armored formations of various units of the Qin army were like black clouds pushing over the top, and the majestic Qin Feng song resounded across the sky and stirred the soul.

The soldiers of the Western Regions, who were lying on their knees waiting to be received, felt the vibrations caused by the movement of the Qin army on the ground below them, and looked at the terrifying military formation that was getting closer and closer, but they had mixed reactions.

Some people buried their heads in the dust in despair.

Some people sadly looked back at the blue sky behind them and in the direction of their home, and cried sadly: "The country will no longer be a country, and the home will no longer be home... The country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed, woo woo woo~!"

The cry seemed to be contagious, and the sobbing spread for a while, and some even stabbed the hand knife hidden under the leather robe into their own hearts, unwilling to face the future destiny that was destined to be miserable.

Queen Pasadai and her little girl Anneway looked at the scenes of all living beings indifferently, with pity in their eyes.

But, it’s just pity!

They didn't even say a word to persuade the soldiers of the Western Regions who chose to understand themselves. Even if they spoke, they could encourage these believers to continue living...

But they didn't!

They just looked on with pity!

This is not because they are cold-blooded, but because they themselves have experienced the destruction of their country and family, and they deeply understand the state of mind of these believers. It is a great kindness to leave them a chance to choose their destiny!

Moreover, even if they are unable to help themselves, how can they be given real protection?

All promises are just ridiculous deceptions.

After all, it is the man who plans everything who has the final say!

…

"Hahaha, Zhao Fu Ling, how about this?"

Under the banner of the general, Zhang Cang and Zhao Gao stood side by side on the chariot, pointing at the soldiers from the Western Regions who were crawling in front of them, waiting to surrender, and asked with a smile.

Zhao Gao couldn't hide his joy. Ying Zheng sent him to urge Han Xin to march, and under his urging, Han Xin forced hundreds of thousands of elites from the Western Regions to surrender in less than a day. It can be said that he was successful in his work. .

"Extraordinary, there is someone to succeed the Qin Dynasty!"

Zhao Gao had long forgotten his previous unhappiness, looked at Han Xin, who had a calm demeanor and a dead face, and praised: "I vaguely remember that in Shangjun, when Prime Minister Qin recommended General Han to His Majesty..."

"General Han was so immature at that time. He almost poked his head on the ground when saluting His Majesty, which made His Majesty burst into laughter."

"But now, he is already a famous general who is powerful in the West, commanding thousands of troops and not being surprised by favors or humiliations!"

Zhang Cang followed his gaze and glanced at Han Xin, who had a dead face, and said in amusement: "It doesn't surprise me if I am favored or humiliated. He is sulking."

Zhao Gao was stunned and said in astonishment: "What's the explanation? He won the battle without spending a single soldier and surrendered hundreds of thousands of young and strong prisoners. Such feats are enough for a commoner to be promoted to a noble title. Why are you so depressed?"

Zhang Cang smiled and explained: "This guy is not responsible for this. Everything was arranged by the Lord. It is just a result of hard work between me and him."

"However, this guy is arrogant and arrogant. He has been holding back his energy all day long, waiting for the master's plan to fail so that he can use his skills. But now that the master's plan has succeeded... it would be strange for him not to be sulky... …”

Zhao Gao was speechless and shook his head. Such ministers are a perfect match for Qin Xiang's Hexi Kingdom. If he returns to the central government to work under Ying Zheng, he may have to be beaten ten times a day or even thrown into prison to suffer hardship.

Just like Zhang Cang’s senior brother, the former Han Fei!
