Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Masinde, who came from Beiguishan District, actually never thought that one day he would betray Guishuang. Even though he made very unnatural operations when he was still young, at least when he was young, he did I never thought that one day I would completely cut off contact with the Kushan Empire.

However, everything in his youth, as time and people's hearts changed, Masinde eventually drifted away from the Kushan Empire. But even so, Masinde still didn't want to stab him when he left. For him, After all, Guishuang was the place where he was born and raised, the hometown in his memories, and Fulward was also an old friend in his memories. Given the choice, he still tried to stay away from him as much as possible.

"Is it just for this day that you chose this opportunity from the very beginning?" As if he understood something, Fulward sat on the main seat and looked at Masinde quietly.

"Yes, I was willing to implement this plan in the first place just to do the last thing for Kushan and completely cut off my own shackles." Masinde didn't mean to hide it. Now that the matter is over, it's time for a showdown. At that time, if Fulward pretended to be stupid, there might be a period of buffering, but since Fulward asked, there was no need for Masinde to lie.

"Am I the step you are preparing to enter?" Fulward asked suppressing his anger.

Masinde shook his head, "You can't be like this. You also know my abilities. It doesn't matter whether I have advanced to the next level or not. As long as I am still me, there is no place in the world where I can go."

Fulward was silent, and then looked at Masinde. He knew that Masinde was telling the truth. They all witnessed Masinde's ability more than 20 years ago, and the Tibetan area can now operate smoothly and support Fulward's food and fodder logistics rely on Masinde. As long as this ability can be used, in Fulward's view, Masinde is definitely the top existence.

It's a pity that Masinde fell because the opponent was too strong, strong enough to truly threaten the rule of the Dayue clan, so Masinde had to fall. The outcome was not just the calculation of Zhu Helai and others. Even at that time, The noblest group of people at most looked sideways on this matter, while most of the Yueshi nobles had to push for Masinde's downfall.

How could Masinde not be part of the royal family of the five great Yuezhi clans, or even the great Yuezhi clan himself? How could a mere conquered Se race control such an ability?

"Fuwode, come with us. What will happen if you go back now? You should be very clear about the situation in the Kushan Empire." Assam looked at Fuwode and said.

If the current Fulward defected to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would definitely be willing to give the other side a respectable appearance, and a heavyweight general taking the lead would also be beneficial to the generals under his command, and would not even lose his status as a prince, so after Masinde spoke , Assam also spoke immediately.

"I know what Kushan is like." Fulward waved his hand without looking at Assam. Even though he knew very well that Assam was a very good general, he stood next to Masinde. Assam is nothing more than a guard.

"What price did the Han Dynasty offer you?" Fulward asked, staring at Masinde.

"It probably allows me to use my abilities at will. In fact, this is not important. What is important is that I have found a suitable place to retire." Masinde thought for a while and said.

When Fulward heard this, he snorted coldly, "Masinde, if you follow me back to Kushan now, the Kushan Empire will also let you use your abilities at will."

Masinde laughed when he heard this, but he did not deny Fulward's words, because it was the truth. Why did he choose to exile him instead of directly executing him? In addition to Arvind's protective talisman, another point was that Kushan had a strong influence on Ma. Xin De's ability is still somewhat coveted.

To put it bluntly, the reason why I was afraid of Masinde was because he was only in his forties. Even if it was a waste of time to discover and cultivate him, twenty years later, Masinde would be able to spread his talents all over the world and shake up the country of Kushan. , but now that Masinde is seventy years old, it doesn’t matter. He can live another twenty years. Well, even if he can live another twenty years, so what?

At this age, do you still think about overthrowing this country? It's impossible. Even if you think about it, those generals, colleges and civil servants who were trained by you and are willing to follow you will not be willing. After all, the risks are too great and the benefits are too great. Low, so during this period, Masinde could use his talents at will, and this was the funniest thing in Fulward's opinion. Is this the price offered by the Han Dynasty?

"Masinde, do you have to surrender to the Han Dynasty?" Fulward sat in the main seat and looked at Masinde. After the other party stopped laughing, he asked again.

"Well, not only me, but also Rangarajan, and even Kumara in the future." Masinde nodded, and Fulward's face became ugly at a visible speed. These three people were almost He is considered to be the most capable wise man in Beigui in the last era.

"Is Kushan so untrustworthy?" Fulward asked angrily.

"No, it's just that we think the Han Dynasty is more suitable for us to rest." Masinde replied softly, "At our age, we no longer have the ambitions we once had. Selian called me at that time, and I am willing to join him and the Han Dynasty. Fighting, it was just because I owed a favor, and when Selian fell, this favor ended."

Fulward listened to Masinde's answer and recalled his experiences in the past few decades. In the end, even he had to admit that even if Masinde chose to join the Han Dynasty, Kushan people like him who were not extremely radical In the eyes of the general, it is understandable.

"You can't leave the northwest. Even if you use any means, you can't bring the elites you brought back to fight like before. If Bactra Mountain City is still there, you can still take a gamble, but now... "Masinde looked at Fulward calmly, "You should have become familiar with the power of the Han Dynasty in the past few years. It maintains domestic stability while going to war. "

"It is impossible for me to betray this group of men that I personally brought." Fulward shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, they will be fine. There are no bodyguards from Fulward's headquarters anymore. There are only remnants of the Han family." Masinde said calmly, "In the past few years, I have been traveling between Chang'an and Zangzhou from time to time. Every time I go there, I will bring some key officers and generals with me, and by now everyone who needs to be convinced has been convinced. Even if there is no explicit discussion, they have already connected spontaneously. "

Masinde did not specifically block the information on Fulward, but General Kushan, who was gradually conquered by Masinde, spontaneously blocked the information on Fulward. This was also the reason why Fulward's eyes and ears gradually became ineffective. reason.

If Masinde plays Fulward by himself, there will inevitably be flaws. But when the backbone of the entire army spontaneously cooperates with Masinde to play Fulward, how can Fulward see the flaws.

"I really failed." Fulward sighed.

"Let's go together." Masinde raised his hand and said to Fulward. Although he felt that it was unlikely that Fulward would agree, he still had to try. Even if he was rejected, it would be okay.

"I refuse." Fulward said very formally, "Even if you and Assam team up to beat me to death here, I will not surrender to the Han Dynasty."

"If you are willing to lead troops and surrender, at least you will be given the position of a noble lord, and you may be able to see the princess every day." Masinde poked Fuward's windpipe with Beigui's biggest obsession.

"What does the princess look like?" Fulward didn't answer and asked another question.

"It is a video recorded during the court meeting. It is an official document circulated by the Han Empire. It is used to let the people know the high-level officials of the country, understand the national policies, and avoid deception by the middle-level officials. But for you, it can be regarded as a way to meet the princess. What kind of props?" Masinde was not surprised. Even if Fulward didn't surrender, it was normal for him to be obsessed with the princess.

While talking, Masinde walked over and handed the secret mirror to Fulward. This thing was actually the complete version of the images distributed by Yin Luo to Guishang.

This thing was originally created to popularize the policies of the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty. Because of the Jizhou and Yanzhou cases, Chen Xi felt it was necessary to let the lower levels of the Han Dynasty know what the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty were doing and what policies they had issued. , there is such a thing, at least it can increase the cost of the middle-level bullying and strengthen the country's governance ability.

It's just that this thing is just like the movie literacy that Chen Xi envisioned back then. Even though the thing is produced, there are still too few people who can easily play it.

But even if it is a small amount, as long as it exists and is still being promoted, Chen Xi will most likely still rely on this thing for subsequent literacy. However, judging from the current optimization status of Tong Yuan, Nandou and others, it is estimated that it will take several years. Just fine.

Fulward took the secret mirror, opened it and looked at it. Looking at the image of Liu Tong raising his hands and feet on the throne, he felt a little disappointed. He had been in the Han Dynasty for so long, and the closest he was to Chang'an was only three to five days. Despite the distance, we still didn’t see the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.

"Maxinde, let's part ways." Fulward quietly finished reading the secret mirror, and then said directly to Masinde. When he said this, his originally calm expression gradually changed as he spoke. became ferocious.

"If you leave now, who can you take with you?" Assam asked.

Fulward looked at Masinde. Even though Masinde had placed countless men in his army and even his personal guards were corrupted, it did not mean that everyone agreed with Masinde's plan. In the end, To put it simply, Fulward believed that even if the generals and soldiers he brought out did have some other ideas, apart from those who really chose the Han Dynasty, there must be some waiting for his voice.

"Then you take away the generals and soldiers who are willing to follow you." Masinde said very calmly, "I will not force them to stay, nor will I specifically ask them to follow you. I just provide them with another option. , Only those who join willingly are our own.”

"I will even control them not to conflict with you." Masinde said softly, "But, Fulward, after you do this, there is no room for turning back, because you do it in front of everyone. , Choosing a general from the Han Dynasty will bring about a kind of shame, and this shame will cause you to be sent away when you leave, but you will be the enemy when you come back. "

Fulward was silent for a while after hearing this, but he still made his choice decisively. However, before he spoke, Masinde interrupted what Fulward wanted to say.

"Don't speak now. There are only a few of us now, so we can still talk. Once it is announced to others, we will have no choice but to part ways. Fulward, I believe in your ability. As long as you speak, there will definitely be two thousand or three thousand, or even Five thousand people are following you, but have you thought about how to go back?" Masinde looked at Fulward seriously.

"I have received your belief. You are still loyal to Vasudeva I. In this situation, you still chose the Kushan Empire. But Fuward, you need to consider one thing. If you can go back, how can others go back?" Masinde looked at Fuward and answered very seriously, "I won't stop you, but think about it carefully. Why do you take these people back to Kushan?"

Is it for your loyalty, or for your dignity, or to prove that you still have this ability, or other possibilities, but no matter which one, Masinde said it so directly. Fuward, who was just thinking about how to withdraw, must fall into reality.

"If you think it through, let your guards come to me. I won't stop you. After all, mortals in this world can only be considered truly alive if they can deal with some things even if they risk their lives." Masinde looked at Fuward and said very solemnly.

In Masinde's opinion, most people in this world don't know what they are doing in their lifetime. As long as anyone has a career that he is willing to risk his life for, he will at least be able to smile when he falls into the coffin one day.

Success or failure is only one aspect. Such a career at least proves that he has come to the world and that he has really lived.

Therefore, if Fuward chooses to join the Han Dynasty with him, Masinde will be happy to help him solve all the difficulties and then join the Han Dynasty decently.

But if Fuward chooses Kushan, Masinde will also agree with his choice. After all, people always have to have some obsessions to support them in order to stand proudly in the world.

For Masinde, as long as Fuward does not impose his beliefs on himself and thinks that he is loyal to Kushan, Masinde must be loyal to Kushan, Masinde is still willing to communicate with Fuward and end it decently.

The former are comrades, the middle are shining beliefs, and only the last one is trash. Bringing Assam here is to see what choice Fuward will make. If it is the first two, everything is fine. If it is the third, Masinde will kill Fuward here.

Admittedly, Fuward is very powerful, but Assam is not a vegetarian. With Masinde's preemptive spiritual energy, he can probably kill the other party directly. However, it is a good thing for Masinde that things have not come to this point.

Although Fuward's choice is not what Masinde thought, everyone will surrender to the Han Dynasty together, but at least Fuward's choice is not wrong.

"Masinde." Fuward sat in the main seat and watched Masinde leave. He knew very well that the other party was not talking nonsense. It is difficult to leave the Tibetan area with a large army now. The times are different from the past. Whether it is to go to the northwest, Yizhou, or the Himalayas, it is impossible to leave.

The blockade of the northwest and Yizhou meant that even if Fuward led his elite headquarters, it was unlikely to break through. After all, a few thousand people was not a small scale, and it was impossible not to leave traces. As long as traces were left, no matter whether it was the Yizhou army or the Liangzhou soldiers, as long as Fuward was surrounded, a mere 5,000 people would be hammered to pieces even if they were made of iron.

Moreover, even if the blockade of Xinzhou was broken, Wan Peng in the Pamir Mountains would have to face that level. That level was very difficult. Even without the three fools, Wan Peng, who had tens of thousands of people under his command and a large number of Qiang auxiliary soldiers, was very difficult to deal with.

Even if Wan Peng was careless and let Fuward break through, and did not send Qiang people to chase and harass him afterwards, Central Asia and Kandahar were also difficult levels that could not be broken through, so there was basically no hope in the northwest. Whether it was Yutian or Shule, it would not make any difference.

As for going through Yizhou, the difficulty coefficient is actually the same. After all, there are too many detours to go through Yizhou, and the uncertainty during the process is too great. If you encounter the main force of the Han army on the road, with only Fu Ward's small number of people, it may not even be enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

The only possible way to leave safely is to march all the way to Wenjia, and not encounter the Han army stationed in the rear on the road, and then encounter the warships arranged by Meng Kangbu on the coast of Wenjia on the day of arrival.

To be honest, if you are really lucky enough and have agreed with Meng Kangbu so that Meng Kangbu can appear there on time, this road is indeed possible to leave.

But Meng Kangbu's current situation is being closely watched by the Han Dynasty. Once a large-scale deployment is made, the Kunwu Kingdom will quickly send intelligence to various places, and the coastal areas will be prepared. Therefore, it is basically impossible for Meng Kangbu to arrive in the Bay of Bengal first and wait.

Therefore, going from Yizhou to Central and South China is too dependent on luck, and it is basically an unselectable route. In this case, the only option is to go through the Himalayas.

In fact, the Himalayas route was the evacuation plan that Fuward prepared for himself. The problem was that Fuward had already reached the realm-breaking level with his enlightenment in the past few years. How could the snow cover of the Himalayas stop Fuward?

But for Fuward's soldiers, it was too difficult to take the Himalayas route.

When the Little Ice Age was not very serious, the Silk Road did have a passable gap in the Himalayas, which could lead directly to Daxia. This was also the business road map that Wu Yuan gave to Chen Xi. But now, because of the Little Ice Age, that road is completely covered by ice and snow.

Considering the thickness of the snow cover on the northern foothills of the Himalayas, the extreme environment to be faced in passing through the gap, and the high probability of avalanches, except for a few people under Fuward who can go here, there is no hope for others.

Just like Guo Jia and Guan Yu took the southern foothills of the Himalayas to attack Peshawar, they had planned to see if they could go through the Tibetan area to directly attack the old waist of Kushan. As a result, they found that due to the influence of the ice age, the mountain road that was originally passable was now directly buried in snow. Except for the top immortal veterans who could force their way through, the regular army basically had no hope, and hundreds of immortal veterans were going to do this...

To be honest, unless there was absolute certainty, Guo Jia would not gamble at all.

"Masinde was probably waiting for me to say that sentence. The thousands of soldiers who were willing to believe in me and follow me are my bondage." Fuward sighed and quickly figured out Masinde's intention. He could go back anyway without the soldiers, but he could never go back with the soldiers.

But if Fuward were to leave these people here, what could he say? Before he said that, Fuward could still do such a thing, but after he said that, he really realized that these people were waiting for his orders and waiting for his choice. Fuward would not pretend to know nothing and leave these people here.

After all, if he abandoned his brothers who were willing to follow him to hell, how could he lead others to the light? Fuward chose to confront Masinde in order to save Kushan, his country, and his friends and subordinates, but for this choice, he betrayed his friends and subordinates. That was putting the cart before the horse.

This was also why Masinde stopped talking after telling Fuward the facts, and let Fuward think for himself - without these men who were willing to fight for your ideals and your beliefs, you might as well surrender to the Han Dynasty and bring these men who believed in you and believed that you could lead them to create the future. You would definitely not be able to return to the Kushan Empire. Even if I didn't take action, you would die on the road.

No, maybe you won't die, but your men will definitely die.

This is the dilemma that Masinde casually set for Fuward, and it is also the last help for Fuward. For Masinde, as long as Fuward didn't think of putting his will above his own, then no matter what Fuward chose, he would set up the dilemma and give the other party the last help, because only in such a dilemma, Fuward who walked out, can it be possible to realize that obsession, that ideal Fuward.

"It's difficult, Fuward, you chose this path, and I can only help you so much. It is also the last help I can provide before we break up peacefully." Masinde walked out of the palace of the Zhangzhung Dynasty and looked back. He could no longer see Fuward. As if Fuward was standing beside him, he whispered his reasons.

If he can't even do such a thing, and can't even cross such a test, what can Fuward do when he returns to Kushan? It's better to die!
