New Story of Lv Bu

The stationed in Peshawar is Lahore, a veteran of the Kushuang Empire. He is of Hindustan origin and has lived for generations in Wujayana, Indra Prosto, which is the southern border of the Kushuang Empire. noble. Ujayana, Sanskrit name Ujayana, Pali name Ujjeni^, also known as Uchani Kingdom, Wenshi Niguo, and Yuzhiguo. Wujayan is a famous Buddhist kingdom in Central Asia and Hindustan. It was once the capital of the ancient Hindustan kingdom of Apanti, and it is located in the plain north of the Pinjaye Mountain.

In Wanhu Hou Kangmanti’s notes, Wu Chayan was described as follows: The country has a land area of ​​more than 6,000 li, a large capital city, more than 30 li, rich inhabitants, and rich family. There are dozens of Garan houses and more than 300 monks in the city. The disciples of Buddha Kayayan, Lianhuase Bhikuni, and the translation of the Tripitaka, Yuepo Shouna, etc., are all from this country. In other words, this place is the village of Beiti in the Ashoka era. When Ashoka was not on the throne, he ruled this place, married an elder daughter, and gave birth to two sons. The last two sons were both monks.

Lahore lived in Wujayanna for a long time. From his childhood to his longevity, he saw glorious Buddhist temples in his eyes, and listened to the graceful Buddhist sounds in his ears. As time passed, he developed an indifferent disposition to the world and indifferent to fame and wealth. After a long period of time, in accordance with family traditions, after spending three years as a monk in a Buddhist temple, Lahore became an official. For decades, he worked diligently and fought all over the world, and finally became a famous general in the Guishuang Empire. However, his xinxing was still like that of a young boy, calm and peaceful, uncontested with the world.

Hearing that Vesudeva I was determined to attack the Western Regions and went to war with the Great Han Empire in the East, Lahore immediately set off to meet the emperor and advise him face-to-face. "Your Majesty, hundreds of years ago, my Dayue people were oppressed by the Huns and had to travel thousands of miles and move westward. The original westward migration was forced by helplessness, but now we are attacking the Western Regions, and the old officials think it is impossible. The political person is Grand Sima Lubu. This person is a famous general who has experienced many battles. If he is not careful, he will be forever! The Eastern Expedition is related to the national fortune of Guishuang, and the old minister has to come a long way to meet his Majesty and affirm me. I also hope that your majesty can listen to what I say from the bottom of my heart for the reasons for opposing the Eastern Campaign."

"Old Lahore General, please don't hesitate to tell me, I will listen carefully." The young Vesudeva I comforted softly. At the same time, he personally offered warm mare's milk to Lahore. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor so gentle and sincere, Lahore couldn't help but feel relieved, and a warm current surged in his heart. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor can still listen to the faithful advice.

"Your Majesty, please look at the map I brought!" Lahore spread a large sheepskin map on the thick wool carpet, and then he picked up a small wooden staff and pointed at the map. "There are only two ways to attack the Great Han Empire in the far east. The first is to go north from North Hindustan, climb the Himalayas, a sacred mountain that no one has walked, to the Tangyan Plateau, and then attack the Han’s Liang from there. Zhou. The veteran estimated that the 200,000 army can reach Tang Yan, but only one or two."

"It's too risky! This road is absolutely forbidden!" As soon as Lahore's words fell, Vesudeva I shook his head. "The second way is to cross the Congling Mountains and pass through Dawan and Wusun to attack the Western Regions. Before arriving at Qiuci, where the Protectorate of the Western Regions is located, one must cross the Taklimakan Desert. Two hundred thousand troops will cost four tenths. Only five casualties can we reach Qiuci."

Having said that, Lahore put down the small wooden staff in his hand and looked directly at Vesudeva I. "Your Majesty, only Nian said that crossing the Himalayas is an adventure. Isn’t it an adventure to cross the Taklimakan Desert? Take a step back and say, even if your Majesty successfully captured the city of Kucha-there are tens of thousands of Han troops stationed there, 200,000 The army, it is estimated that there are only forty to fifty thousand left. If at this time, the Han Dynasty sends an army of one hundred thousand people from remote Middle-earth, I don't know what your Majesty will use to resist?"

"Besides, I have only 200,000 elite troops in Guishuang. If you send less, you will not be able to capture Kucha. If you send more, what should be used to put out the fire if something happens in the country? Your Majesty, in the last few years Since then, the tendency of separation between Khorazm and Khorasan is very obvious. Once the army marches eastward, they will surely rise up and cause chaos. In this way, Guishuang is in danger."

Lahore finally finished speaking, he sat down slowly, waiting for Vesudeva I's answer. "Old General Lahore, I know what you said, and I have tried it carefully. Obviously, what you said is correct! Not like the people outside the palace. It was only after the frustration of King Yanqi and He Shouping King Song Jian that he ordered the Eastern Expedition. This is a conclusion that I deliberately reached. The old general of Lahore, as the emperor of the Guishuang Empire, did not know that the Eastern Expedition was a huge one. Gambling? The bet placed on the gaming table is myself, and even the national fortune of the entire Guishuang Empire. But I have to bet!"

Speaking of this, Vesudipa I sighed, her young and handsome face was full of vicissitudes, as if she was a teenager in an instant. "Old General, today’s Kushan Empire, the fundamental land is the two Hindustan provinces, Indra Prosto and Punjab. To the north of the Hindu Kush Mountains, there is also the homeland of Daxia, these three provinces. This is the fundamental place of the Guishuang Empire"

"As for the Huarazimo and Sogdian in the north, and Khorasan in the west, plus the three grassland countries of Kangju, Dawan and Wusun, they are all people who see the wind! Now, The separatist tendency of Khorazm and Khorasan is very serious. Kangju and the Three Kingdoms are also watching in secret. Old general, do you know why this is? During the reigns of Kadfez II and Gagasyga I, why did they Not to fight for independence? Why do you want to fight now? To tell the truth, it was the Silk Road, a trade route!"

"During the time of Cardfitz II and Giansega I, my Guishuang country was strong, and I firmly suppressed the Anxi Empire in the west. The lifeblood of the Silk Road was tightly held in our hands, and the huge benefits were obtained. It is sufficient to meet the needs of all ethnic groups in Guishuang. Now it is not the case. When the first emperor Hubisaka was in power, the country was declining and his income was unable to make ends meet, so he had to increase taxes repeatedly. As a result, various provinces complained one after another. There is only one way out of the predicament. It is either westward to attack the Anxi Empire or eastward to fight the Han Dynasty. In contrast, the Han Dynasty is in civil strife, and the Western Regions are lonely outside. Perhaps the Han Dynasty will abandon the Western Regions."

"Old General of Lahore, I bet that the Han Dynasty will abandon the Western Regions. The Chinese regime of the Han Dynasty has long existed in name only. The governors of various provinces are fighting each other, and the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, for a rabbit not to shit. In places like this, Da Sima Lubu should be able to distinguish the priorities. As long as I conquer the Western Regions and control the Silk Road, the attention of all ethnic groups in the country will turn to the Silk Road. At that time, we will use this A business route is used to negotiate terms, and all troubles will be resolved smoothly."

The words of Vesudeva I were finally finished. He picked up the warm horse milk in front of him, tasted it carefully, and waited for Lahore's answer. "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is a behemoth, and it is better not to be an enemy of it. During the reign of the great unknown king Sotel Magus, the Han family's Banchao once defeated our country's 70,000 army. Your Majesty, nothing happened. The teacher who forgets the funeral!"

To be honest, His Majesty's analysis is very reasonable, it can be described as hitting the nail on the head, but, thinking of the seventy thousand guishuang army, Lahore is still quite disturbed. "Old General of Lahore, after the capture of Kucha, I will send an envoy to negotiate with the Han Dynasty. The conditions will not be too harsh, as long as the Han Dynasty recognizes Guishuang's ownership of the Western Regions. For the Guishuang Empire, this It’s the best time in a lifetime. I’m willing to give it a try. The Han garrison in the Western Regions is only forty to fifty thousand. I dispatched 200,000 troops. As long as I capture Qiuci, I will not go deep into the hinterland of the Han dynasty. I think This can be done." The emperor said with a smile.

As expected by the emperor, his sincerity and humility finally convinced the fiercest opponent, the old general of Lahore.

In the First World War of the Kingdom of Dawan, Rahmon died in battle and his troops were wiped out, but Lahore retreated. Vesudeva I deliberately issued an order and praised him greatly, and then appointed him as the governor of the two provinces of Punjab and Gandhara, stationed in Peshawar. The edict said this: The central Guishuang area has always been the foundation of the empire. The four cities of Lanshi (Bhaktra), Gaofu (Kabul), Fulousha and Tanchasiluo (Peshawar) are particularly important. With these four cities, you can choke the throat into the southern plain of the empire's base. I pay the Qing with Punjab and Gandhara, that is, pay the Qing with Guishuang! Wangqing will live up to his mission and be cautious!

It’s a pity that the edict of Vesudeva I came a little late. Lanshi, Gaofu, and Fulousha have all fallen into the hands of the Han army. Only the city of Peshawar where Lahore is in charge is still in Guishuang. Human hands. After receiving the emperor's edict, Lahore couldn't help but sigh with emotion. From this point of view, His Majesty the Emperor has realized his mistakes. As long as he keeps Peshawar City and blocks the tide of Han army, waiting for the Emperor's army to return to the army, there is still a lot to do! If you don’t succeed, you will become benevolent!

Today's Peshawar city has a population of 70,000 people, and the food and grass can be supported for one year. Coupled with the high city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I don't believe in this Peshawar city! Thinking of this, Lahore couldn't help but let out a cold voice, the young Han Dynasty general, the old man will definitely want you to go home! In the city, there are the old man’s 7,000 Hindustan infantry, and 13,000 temporarily recruited troops, they will surely be able to defend it!

At this moment, the old general did not know that the countdown had already begun at the last moment when Peshawar was captured!
