Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 5016: Kushan assassin?

Currently, in Chigu City, there are people from the Jin Kingdom, Wusun people, Kushan people, and even Dawan people and Parthian people. It can be described as a mixed bag.

Lifting the blockade of the city gate will be more beneficial to Chigu City.

Guo Jia also understood that once such an assassination happened, the Jin State would not give up. At that time, Lu Bu would send more elite assassins to Guishang to carry out the assassination operation. The actions of the Jin State assassins would bring about The impact must be huge.

From the previous success of the Jin assassins in Peshawar, we can see how amazing the Jin assassins are in assassination.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the assassins are all going to Peshawar to carry out assassination activities. It is better to disperse them in various cities in Kushan and assassinate Kushan officials so that everyone in Kushan will be in danger." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu laughed when he heard this and said: "With the strategy of paying filial piety, it will be even more difficult for the people of Guishan to get stability."

Sima Yi was injured in his left arm, and the wound was very deep. After being treated by doctors, he was no longer seriously injured, but it was much more difficult to move. He couldn't follow the army back to Chang'an, so he could only temporarily rest in Chigu City.

You can imagine the depression in Sima Yi's heart. After being promoted by Lu Bu, he was able to become the minister of the Ministry of War. Now he was assassinated by an assassin before he took office. If Sima Yi hadn't been more alert at the time, he might have died in the hands of the assassin. This made Sima Yi not have the slightest fondness for Guishuang.

At this time, Sima Yi thought of one person, that is, the messenger of Parthia, Artaban, the younger brother of King Parthia.

After going on a mission to Jin and reaching an alliance with Jin, Artaban did not leave, but stayed in Chigu City.

Sima Yi could imagine Artaban's intentions. The Jin army defeated the Kushan army on the battlefield and had great power. If we can know more about the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, it will be good for Anxi. .

In fact, the performance of the Jin army on the battlefield really shocked Artaban. With Artaban's eyes, he could naturally see what kind of impact the Jin army had on the enemy on the battlefield.

It is extremely difficult for the enemy to win against the Jin army.

After having this understanding, Artaban felt a lot of shock in his heart, because the strength of the Jin army was indeed beyond imagination.

Having more cooperation with the Jin army will be of great benefit to the future development of the Parthian Empire. Aldaban feels deeply lucky that he chose to stay in Chigu City before.

It is not a simple matter to have a deep understanding of the Jin army. Artaban has a deep understanding of this. The Jin army protects itself extremely strictly, especially the secrets in the army. A leak occurs.

During this period of time in the city, Artaban was busy, mostly to find out the situation of the Jin army. However, after a series of actions, Artaban was disappointed.

It was difficult for Artaban to find out more information about the Jin army. Jin's envoy Sima Yi was a good breakthrough point, but Sima Yi had a very strict tone.

After learning that Sima Yi had ordered someone to invite him to the mansion for a banquet,

Artaban was excited. Regarding the sudden tension in the city, Artaban also had many questions. This was the home ground of the Jin army, and the emperor of Jin led the victorious army back to the city. Under such circumstances, who Dare to be presumptuous.

If there weren't other situations happening in the city, why would the city gate be blocked? This information still needs to be obtained from Sima Yi.

During this period of time in Chigu City, Artaban felt the number of Jin merchants. Just the number of merchants traveling to and from Chigu City was shocking.

This was not long after the battle between the Jin army and the Kushan army. If it had been the time when the Jin state and the Kushan army had made friends, how many merchants would there have been in Chigu City.

This is also one of the shocks that the Jin Kingdom brought to Artaban. The more he understood the Jin Kingdom, the more Aldaban felt how powerful the Jin Kingdom was. Not to mention other things, just the power of merchants was not the current power. Anxi can be compared, but generally speaking, after Anxi became friends with the Jin State, it was of great benefit to the development of Anxi.

Because the stronger the Jin State is, the greater its influence on Kushan City will be. After the war in Guishan City, conflicts between the Jin Army and Guishan City have arisen. Although the two sides are temporarily in peace, it is because of the lack of Just a tipping point.

If the Jin army takes action, it is also possible. When An'an takes action, it will be able to get more benefits from Kushan. The bad relationship between Jin and Kushan is a good opportunity for An'an to grow.

As for the greater influence of the Jin State on the Parthian Society, Artaban did not have any more considerations, because the strength of the Parthian State should not be underestimated. If the Jin State had ideas about the Parthian Order, how could the people of the Parthian State do so? Agree, the Jin army will definitely be made to pay the price when fighting against them.

Besides, there is a long distance between Anxi and Jin. There will be no war between the two in a short time. The war will also take place around Kushan.

Kushan has been able to dominate for many years. Even after civil strife, it is not easy to defeat Kushan. The strength displayed by the Jin army on the battlefield is indeed ferocious. Kushan was defeated at a distance, and in Aldaban It seems that it is still very difficult.

When Kushan was in civil strife, the situation was so critical. Even under such circumstances, Kushan was still able to come out of the civil strife and block the attack of the Parthian army. What impressed Artaban the most was Kushan. Soldiers are crazy and tenacious on the battlefield.

It is good that the Jin army is superior. The key is that the strength of the Kushan soldiers is not weak, which will have a great impact on the situation of the war.

However, from the Jin army's capture of Kangju and the Xiongnu lands, Artaban felt that the Jin army had a careful plan during the battle. The Jin army was powerful and had such a plan when it fought against the enemy. The Jin army is the most terrifying.

What Artaban wanted most was the real weapon in the Jin army, which was gunpowder and the three-eyed blunderbuss.

In Artaban's view, it was precisely because the Jin army had three-eyed blunderbuss and gunpowder that it had such a strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. The failure of the Kushan army was not because the Kushan army was not fierce enough in responding to the war. But they were inferior to the Jin army in terms of equipment.

If the Jin army's advantage in equipment can be eliminated, the Jin army's victory against the Kushan army will still be 50-50.

However, the Jin army's protection of these weapons was strict. Even if they obtained the three-eyed gun, there was no way to make the three-eyed gun. If the Jin army's sharp weapons were so easy to copy, Kushan would not be able to make them when facing the Jin state. , so he won’t be so humble.

The arrival of the Jin army will definitely usher in a great era. If we cannot survive in such an era and develop well, we will be even more dangerous when facing the Jin army in the future.

Sima Yi's mansion in the city is not considered luxurious, but it is not easy to have a fixed residence in Chigu City. As more and more businessmen come to Chigu City, the development of Chigu City has been rapid. Improvement, prices in Chigu City are not cheap.

When the discerning businessmen came to Chigu City, they purchased a lot of houses. However, these houses were only used for a certain period of time. This kind of thing was very normal in Jin State. Businessmen wanted to buy permanent houses. , unless it is a real place of residence or a place used by merchants to trade, it will not be truly sold. From this point alone, we can see the shrewdness of the Jin government.

In order to get more money, businessmen will naturally invest, and when they want to buy a permanent shop but cannot, they will choose to rent in more cases, but the rental price will change due to the increase in commodity prices. The more prosperous a city is and the faster it develops, the faster prices will rise.

And the Jin court had predicted all this in advance.

Just the leasing of shops can bring a lot of money to the government.

Artabanus is also a well-known figure in the city. He is the younger brother of the Parthian King. Just this level of status is quite impressive.

Although more people don't know where he rests, the fact that Artaban was able to meet the emperor of Jin is enough to show that Artaban's status is extraordinary.

After seeing Sima Yi's condition, Artaban asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I encountered an assassin before."

"Assassin, this is Chigu City. What kind of assassin has such courage to dare to assassinate Jin officials?" Ardaband said.

Sima Yi said: "As expected, they are assassins sent by Guishang."

"Assassins from Kushan?" Aldaban's eyes tightened, and he sent assassins out to assassinate important figures of the opponent. Such things are not uncommon, but if Kushan sends assassins to Chigu City to assassinate him at this time, he will always give people something to do. A weird feeling.

However, Aldaban was relieved after thinking about the assassination in Peshawar. The Jin State could send assassins to Kushan, and the Kushans were also possible. However, compared to the success of the Jin assassins, the Kushan assassins were obviously It failed to cause greater turmoil. The lifting of the city gate blockade is a good proof.

"Is the Emperor of Jin okay?" Artaban asked.

Sima Yi said: "Messenger, the Holy One is such a wise and powerful person. Even if an assassin comes, it is impossible to successfully assassinate the Holy One."

Seeing Sima Yi's expression full of confidence, Artaban asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

"The envoy does not know that the Holy One was a military general and was the most powerful general in the Jin Kingdom. He fought on the battlefield and never encountered an opponent. Many people who claimed to be fierce generals died in the hands of the Holy One, even if these assassins could get close to the Holy One. , don’t even think about success." Sima Yi explained.

The Emperor of Jin was highly skilled in martial arts, and Artaban could learn about such things with just a little inquiring. There was no need for Sima Yi to conceal this.

Artaban nodded and said: "So that's it. The emperor of Jin is actually so powerful."

From Artaban's eyes, Sima Yi felt excitement. Sima Yi knew what Artaban was thinking, because Artaban was also a famous warrior in Parthia.

However, it is not a simple matter to fight against the emperor of Jin. Not to mention other things, the anger of the Jin army's soldiers is not what Artaban can bear. Don't look at Artaban as the messenger of peace, the Jin army The soldiers didn't know anything about the Parthian Empire. In their eyes, Lu Bu was an inviolable existence.

"These damn assassins," Artaban swore angrily.

Seeing that Artaban had nothing to say, Sima Yi said: "Jin and Parthia are in an alliance. I wonder what the envoy thinks of Kushan's provocation?"

After Artaban was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood the meaning of Sima Yi's words and said in a deep voice: "This is a challenge to the alliance between Anxi and Jin. I will order someone to inform the king and give the people of Kushan a profound understanding." Lessons."

"In that case, I would like to thank the envoy." Sima Yi said.

Aldaban said: "Originally, I wanted to go to Chang'an with you."

"I am injured and cannot accompany the envoy. I hope the envoy can forgive me." Sima Yi said.

Artaban waved his hand and said: "It's okay. When the time comes, I will just follow your emperor's army to Chang'an."

"Messenger, you are coming to Chigu City with me. I still have to remind you of some things. It is best not to touch some things. Although some actions may seem very hidden, they cannot escape the eyes of the Holy Emperor." Sima Yi reminded in a low voice. road.

Artaban smiled and said: "This king is the messenger of peace. What actions can I take secretly? Just be healthy and heal your wounds."

After Aldaban left, Sima Yi smiled. During the conversation with Aldaban, Sima Yi could naturally feel Aldaban's shrewdness. It was obviously difficult to get more benefits through Aldaban. Yes, to be able to come to Jin as a messenger of peace, Artaban must have something special about him.

However, what Sima Yi believed was that after Ardaban went to Chang'an, it was simply impossible to find out more secrets about the Jin army. If the secrets of the Jin army could be found out so easily, the Jin army would How could the army maintain an absolute advantage against the enemy in the past?

The Jin army's strict protection of secrets is beyond imagination. Not to mention Artaban's secret actions, even some important officials in the six ministries of Jin would have no way of knowing more. .

The secrets of the Jin Army have never been disclosed to outsiders. If more of these secrets were known to the enemy, wouldn't it challenge the Jin Army's advantage on the battlefield?

The conversation with Artaban was not only for the simple purpose of asking Aldaban to ask for some interest from Kushan on his behalf, but also to defeat Aldaban.
