Chapter 437: The enemy of the enemy is the friend
In the spring of the 14th year of Jian'an, a warm wind from the southeast passed the grassland in the northwest of Altai Mountain. The half-human-high grass vegetation on the grassland was bent, and the sheep inside appeared in large areas.
In the distance, there were shouts and the sound of horse hooves. The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and you could feel a slight tremor when standing on the grassland. After seeing each other's flags, the nearby herders hurriedly fell down and bowed to the running horse team.
The horse team rushed past them, bringing a whirlwind, and the herdsmen began to shout in unison: "Long live the great secret service." The middle-aged man named secret service showed a proud look on his face.
These people and herdsmen are all ill-fated people in the White Huns. The Special Service is the title of their king and also the title of personal. They are conducting the annual spring hunt. A yellow sheep rushed out of the grass. The Special Service bent his bow and arrows to shoot, but was blocked by a cavalry. The Special Service was about to get angry, but he saw clearly that the other party was his own personal spy.
The so-called personal soldiers of the eyeliner are similar to the personal guards, but most of them are not around the special service, but are distributed everywhere to collect information for the special service. If they encounter urgent information, they need to send it to the special service themselves.
The secret service immediately realized that something big happened and immediately asked, "Don't you stay in the north? Why did you run and what happened?"
"Qi Biden, Tiel, and Dingling came from the east, and followed their sea with an army that was not on the grassland."
The special agent was shocked and shouted: "What Tiel and Dingling people came to our territory? Who is that army?"
"The army claimed to be the Northern Army of the Northern Territory Chief Envoy of Liang State, and the Tielites and Dingling people also obeyed them. He...their generals also gave us a letter, saying that they would hand it over to the Secret Service."
The special service was even more shocked. He had heard of the name of Liang Kingdom and the Northern Prefecture Army. He also knew that they had defeated Kushan and destroyed Wusun. He also conquered most of the grasslands in the East many years ago. But he never thought that the other party would attack him.
"What do they want to do?" said the special agent, taking a letter from the other party. He suddenly remembered something and ordered the visitor: "Come the priests in the tribe and see what is written on it."
It turned out that the White Huns had no written words of their own. The letter was written in the Hun language commonly used on the grassland. But even so, the illiterate special agent could not understand it. However, the priests in his directly subordinate tribe recognized the Huns.
The priest truthfully told the content of the letter to the special service. The letter said that the soldiers of the Northern Mansion were only taking the reindeer from the north and would not attack the hinterland of the Yandaren. Please rest assured. Finally, he also stated that the soldiers of the Northern Mansion advanced westward to attack the Kushan Empire to avenge their revenge.
After hearing this, Yanda Special Forced was silent for a while and then burst into laughter. Everyone around him looked at each other, not knowing what happened to the Special Forced. The Special Forced said to his left and right: "Don't worry, the Liang army's Northern Mansion soldiers are just going to attack Kushan, and they have nothing to do with us. No, they are still related. We can also follow the chaos to make profits, plunder some property, and even occupy some Kushan territory!" After saying that, a greedy expression appeared on his face.
"You have to report to the Special Service. The young man... I have another thing to report to the Special Service."
"explain!"
"But when the soldiers of the North Mansion passed by, many tribes on the frozen soil of the snow-plankton in the north ended with them. Originally, these tribes paid taxes to the Special Service."
The Secret Service laughed twice and said, "Boy, I know why I am the Secret Service, and aren't you?"
"This is because the special agent is wise and powerful. It is the hearts of the people of the tribe."
"It's because my vision is longer than you. What's worth fighting for in those places with ice and snow? In the south, the warm climate, fertile land and a large population are our final destination and the place worth our White Huns' struggle. Since the people of Liang like those bitter and cold places so much, as long as they don't reach their hands to the hinterland of the grassland where we hate people, then give them a favor! We give them a favor."
"But...but the special service, why should we give them for free? Well, I'm so polite..." The personal soldier knew that he had lost his words and hurriedly stopped.
Sure enough, a whip whip was slugging the personal soldier. The special officer's face also sank, and he said, "How did you fool choose me to be a personal soldier? I don't understand this. Since the Liang people's purpose is to detour to the west and cooperate with the Liang army in the east and south to attack Kushan, it means that they are our friends, at least for the time being. The enemy of the enemy is friends. With their help, we are sick of the White Huns, which is not just as simple as grabbing some of the Kushan's wealth. We may at least seize some of the rich lands that Kushan has. Do you think it should be for the bitter and cold land? "
"Okay, yes, the special service is wise!" The personal soldiers were afraid of being beaten by the second whip and were afraid that they would not be able to be the special service's personal soldiers anymore, so they quickly said flatteringly.
...
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Juratan, Prime Minister Shelaya sat in the study with a pale face, reading and approving memorials from all over the world. The new king only cares about eating, drinking and having fun in the palace, and does not care about government affairs. Almost all things are Shalaya to complete and decide. However, this is much better than a foolish monarch who likes to act arbitrarily.
Shelaya tried his best to turn the tide for Jura's country, but it only maintained it. Today, Jura's territory is only one-sixth of that of his heyday, and is limited to the Goweri Valley and part of the southwest coast of the Stonebu Continent.
The door of the study creaked open, and the attendant carefully entered the door and reported: "Report to the Prime Minister, there is an emergency military situation on the west coast, and a large number of Liang military ships are heading north."
Shelaya's eyes trembled, thinking that the Liang army went north and wanted to make the last blow to the Zhuluo Kingdom? If this is true, the shaky Zhuluo Empire has only one way to destroy the country.
The attendant's next words relieved Shelaya a lot: "But the Liang army fleet did not seem to be staying on my west coast. After only capturing a small town, a large number of ships continued to head north. I wonder if we want to send troops to recover this small town."
Shelaya thought for a moment and waved her hand, "No, the Liang army's target is not us, they will definitely go to the north to attack Kushan. They seized this small city just to serve as a transfer base for supply. We must not cause any more fire!"
...
The Pamirs in spring are already lush and Ma Chao is leading two thousand cavalry over the Pamirs and into the Kushan territory. However, his army is just a vanguard, and Feng Yu did not allow him to serve as the commander of the Eastern Route Army to attack Kushan because he was afraid that he would cause tactical misjudgment due to his personal emotions. Therefore, the head coach was still Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun's army was also the auxiliary.
