An orthodox force from the previous generation has hope. For the Parthians who are still struggling to this day, the attraction is not ordinary.

Coupled with the borrowing of the Kushan fleet to transport grain and grass intermittently, Ardashir's influence in the Persian Gulf is increasing day by day.

After all, Aldashir never gave up on these people from the beginning. Even if he was not strong enough, he continued to help these people. Even if some young leaders did not appreciate it, morally Aldashir always had the upper hand.

Therefore, when Ardashir occupied Kabul and the Kushan side began to organize manpower to transport Parthian people who were willing to follow Ardashir, the popularity Ardashir had been accumulating finally began to materialize, and Parthians continued to eat it. After a piece of chaff cake, I was willing to take a boat to Kushan and then to the Kabul Valley where Ardashir was located.

Even Mosul and Laguerre, who had not dealt with Aldashir very much and were somewhat incompetent, began to actively move closer to Aldashir.

On the surface, it seems that these two people have not taken refuge in Ardashir. They are still entrenched in the area from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. As the largest bandit group in the area, they often fight or compromise with the Han family, and they have always been entangled. , resulting in the three powerful families of Hanoi Zhang family, Gaoyang Wang family and Wenxi Pei family being unable to free their hands.

But in fact, after Ardashir occupied the Kabul Valley and grain and grass began to be sent to the Persian Gulf in the name of Ardashir, the two bandits quickly began to move closer to Ardashir. After all, Persia was founded. All the kings, except Haftan, a real wild dog, are essentially descendants of nobles.

In the third century, all countries were actually ruled by aristocrats or aristocratic families. The right to interpret knowledge and the monopoly on education were in the hands of these people. Therefore, it is difficult to see pure commoners in history books, and they basically all started from humble beginnings.

Figures like Guo Si of the Han Dynasty, Haftan of Persia, and Macrinus of Rome are hard to find in the world. On the other hand, when these people are not developed, they are far easier to deal with than people of the same level as them at their peak. Much.

When Guo Si was not mature, a centurion and a hundred people surrounded him were enough to beat Guo Si to death. However, when Guo Si was at his peak and led the Xiliang cavalry, not many people dared to confront him head-on.

Similarly, when Haftan was a bandit, he was surrounded by a team and easily captured. But when Haftan was at his peak, he was among the top five kings and pointed his sword at Rome. No one dared to look down upon him.

This is the crisis you need to face when you have no good education, no connections, and no corresponding knowledge, and just rely on yourself to ride the wind and transform into a dragon.

Mosul and Laguerre are different. They are descendants of the Parthian nobles. They had prepared for the worst long before the collapse of the country. It was just that their family had the intention of competing for the throne at that time, but even if their calculations were wrong, their The foundation can at least support making mistakes.

It is precisely because of these preparations that when other bandits were either wiped out or surrendered one by one, Mosul and Laguerre have almost become the last hope for the Central Asian bandits. However, compared to Haftan just now At the beginning of the war, the slight victory blinded their eyes. Mosul and Laguerre knew very well that the power of the Han Dynasty in Parthia was becoming more and more powerful day by day.

If this continues, sooner or later they will become trees without roots and water without a source. Even if they have the means to reach heaven, they will still be dead.

This was also after Ardashir jumped out of the fence and entered the Kabul Valley, and sent another letter to Mosul and Laguerre, inviting them to help him restore Rest in Peace. After some thought, the two did not give an accurate answer, but they also There was no direct rebuttal.

This is also the biggest difference between Haftan and the two of them. Haftan is a pure wild dog. Being able to ride the wind and transform into a dragon is pure chaos. He picked up a suit of armor and grabbed weapons, and then roared in the mountains and forests, gathered momentum and became the leader of a party. .

When Ardashir came to recruit Haftan, Haftan showed the shrewdness of a small person, that is, he ate everything and promised well, but in fact Ardashir was nothing. do not know!

This is also the reason why Bakza scolded Haftan angrily when he was blocked by Haftan. But as far as Haftan is concerned, my strength does not come from the rice of your seven nobles. You are nothing. The love of the country is completely equivalent to the love of the country for me!

Ah, you talk about the country's love for me, I, Haftan, have gone up to the mountains to become a bandit, what do you think?

There are also people whom patriotism cannot convince, such as Haftan, who has never eaten rice from the seven nobles and was taxed by the seven nobles.

However, this does not mean that this is good or bad. At least if Mosul and Laguerre cannot accept surrender to the Han Dynasty, Ardashir is basically the last choice.

Therefore, after continuous contact, Aldashir has basically determined the attitude of the two of them, and it is basically equivalent to taking refuge in him, but he is still in Central Asia, working hard to collect chips, so that he can send more manpower and strength. , to ensure the status of the two after their arrival.

Knowing this, Tavasdes suggested giving it a try.

After all, Barak has come to Kabul, and although Herat still has some strength, it may not be able to hold off Mosul and Laguerre.

Once we can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Herat, Aldashir will fight hard and attack from both front and back, regardless of the losses. We may not be able to capture Kandahar. And once we can capture Kandahar, for Ardashir In other words, the situation has really come to life.

After all, at this time, Mosul and Laguerre are still nominally the bandit leaders in Central Asia. Some people may have speculated about their entanglement with Ardashir, but it is impossible for anyone to think that these two people have completely surrendered to Ardashir. Become Ardashir and play secret chess in Central Asia.

On the other hand, no one would have thought of this, and naturally no one would have thought that Laguerre and the core bodyguards under Mosul's command had already completed the change of clothes.

What's more, in order to avoid being discovered, the main backbone of the two men were hidden in the ravines of the Yinlang Plateau, and they both wore a layer of sheepskin wrapped with linen outside the armor and stomach to hide it.

In addition, the two Laguerres had also dispatched a small-scale armored force to suppress the Han family in the Persian Gulf. Therefore, even if the Han family accidentally detected some Central Asian bandit troops wearing armor, as long as they could not clearly identify Once the scale is calculated, there won’t be much doubt.

After all, after Mosul and Laguerre completed the change of main force, even if the Wenxi Pei clan took the opportunity to kill them, they only sent nearly a thousand armored personal guards to stop them. Then it retreated into the broken ravines of the plateau.

Therefore, as of now, what the families in Central Asia know about Laguerre and Mosul are basically the parts they released, and the deeper power is not clear.

There is no way, Central Asia is too big, and there are many Han aristocratic families. These two people survive in the cracks and are barely able to protect themselves. Most aristocratic families are not willing to push too hard. It is precisely because of these The reason is that these two people really have a trump card in Central Asia.

Of course, being able to accumulate such a hand of trump cards is also the reason why Laguerre and the two are willing to surrender to Aldashir. The elites in their hands rely on the physical strengthening secret technique sent by Aldashir and use the corresponding secret medicine to forcibly defeat them. The physical fitness of the soldiers has improved again.

As descendants of Parthian nobles, Laguerre and Mosul naturally know what these gadgets represent. This is one of the country's core heritages and represents orthodoxy.

Originally, because Aldashir jumped out of the fence and relied on Kushan Shipping to be used as the rear, the two of them had the intention to actively get closer. But now that Aldashir has taken out these things, the two of them naturally followed suit. Orthodoxy Planting things is sometimes somewhat useful.

However, Tavasdes' very reasonable suggestion was rejected after Aldashir thought for a moment, "No, it's not time to use those two guys now. It's really too difficult for us to conquer Kandahar with our current strength."

Tavasdes sighed inwardly. His current mentality is also a bit complicated. His previous question was itself a test to test Ardashir's current state.

The result was not good. Ardashir did become cautious and prudent and began to operate his own power from a monarch's position. However, in the current situation, being cautious and prudent could not solve the problem and might even waste some opportunities.

However, Tavasdes did not speak these words. He could only convince himself in his heart that the foundation is weak now and he cannot be too radical...

"Then our goal this time is to effectively kill the Han Dynasty headquarters." Tavasdes suggested, "Create a sufficient number of kills as much as possible, so that the Han Dynasty will be unable to make progress in a short period of time, and strive for more How much time?"

Aldashir nodded, "Tavasdes, you are just like a roundworm in my belly. You knew it without me saying anything."

"It's disgusting to say, but I will rely on this for strategy." Tavasdes glanced at Ardashir, as if he didn't want to speak.

After Tavasdes left with the mission, Aldashir opened the secret letter in his hand, which was a secret letter from Prince Qi.

Although he was dragged to be shown as the successor of Kushan, Ardashir knew that he was the one to accompany him. There were only two people who could really be the successor of Kushan. One was Ou who married the daughter of Vesutiva I. Sven, one is the prince who wrote to him.

"Do you want to form an alliance with me to fight against Oswin?" Aldashir understood Wang Ziqi's plan after a rough look. It's normal to think about it. After all, Oswin's falling into the golden sun created the military soul and shaped the will of the empire. In addition, the military Everyone recommended Oswin. Under such circumstances, how could the previously designated heir not panic.

Under this situation, Aldashir can also understand, but Aldashir does not want to get involved in the inheritance of the Kushan throne at all. Even if he is also the heir who has been hanged, everyone knows that Aldashir I was just a runner, just to make the act of appointing Oswin as the heir less outrageous.

It's just that Ardashir had a headache if he refused like this when he just arrived. After all, Wang Ziqi was an elder before the five branches of Kushan, that is, the descendant who was favored by Barikun and Altay. This represented the legal system, even if he inherited If you don't get the big position, you will inherit the royal clan.

With Prince Qi's method of uniting the Kushan royal family, outsiders like Ardashir would scorn each other as soon as they arrived. I'm afraid they won't be able to get along in the future.

Even if the other party doesn't specifically target it, if it takes two more days to go through the formal approval process, one jam of grain and grass, one jam of weapons, and the interruption of population transportation by sea, etc., it will be quite fatal for Aldashir. .

There is no way, no matter who makes it possible to farm in Kabul, it is possible to farm, but without the level of technology of the Han Dynasty, raising a million people would be a dream. Therefore, food and grass still need Kushan's support, and this aspect has been discussed with Vesutiva I long ago.

So after reading this secret letter, Aldashir had a bit of a headache on how to reply. First of all, it was impossible to agree, and it was also impossible to refuse. As expected, he could only find another answer. Aldashir sighed. , find Gondolfar.

"It's simple. Neither agree nor refuse. Give the benefits originally given to Vesutiva I to the other party to forward." Gundofa said very casually.

"Is this so?" Ardashir hesitated. Vesutiva I handed over the northern part of Kushan to Ardashir. In addition to some transactions on the surface, he also took some money from Ardashir. Click on the idea of ​​​​resting inheritance.

Aldashir also understands this, but he knows to some extent that it is meaningless if these things are covered in his hands and cannot be exchanged for things. Only by being able to exchange for things can the follow-up be possible.

The four major empires have secret methods to strengthen physical fitness, and Kushan itself is the leader. The secret method of Anxiang is not better than Kushan, but most of the secret methods to strengthen physical fitness can only be used by the strong. Ordinary soldiers cannot use it at all. Even if it is a simplified version, it is unlikely that the energy and spirit of ordinary soldiers can be fully stimulated.

However, the secret method of Anxi has been simplified enough for soldiers to use it. However, there are several sets of this simplified secret method, and there are also various independent splicing plans. These other empires can produce the same thing if they want to do it. The difficulty is how to make the soldiers use it. Activate and use effectively.

This requires a secret medicine, and this formula is very important, but Ardashir cannot collect these things, so he has to hook up with Vesutiva I.

"Give Prince Qi the secret method of strengthening the heart and the corresponding strengthening prescription." Aldashir thought for a moment and then made a decision.

"The secret method to strengthen the heart?" Gondolfa thought for a while and found that it was indeed suitable. The heart hides the spirit, and a strong heart makes the spirit strong.
