Chapter 580: The End of the Road Ten
Hammergezi walked around the room, frowning and contemplative, obviously thinking about important issues.
Just now, a person came unexpectedly. This person was Du Zhongbo. His purpose was very simple. The two sides stopped fighting and cooperated together to deal with the Jin army. Du Zhongbo said that after repelling the Jin army, they were willing to ced the sixteen cities west of the Western Regions to Hammerezi.
Brother Yang strongly supported this suggestion, and Du Zhongbo also gave him the promise. After the matter was completed, he would support him as the king. The previous matter was written off and he would never settle it afterwards. Everyone united and became allies.
Du Zhongbo knew about his emotions and moved him with reason, and said a lot. Brother Too was moved on the spot, and Hamerci was also quite moved, but Moy didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"What are you still hesitating about? Du Zhongbo is right. If we continue fighting like this, no matter who wins or loses, it will only be a good deal for the Jin army in the end. Since that's the case, it's better to unite and kill the strongest one. This will benefit all of us."
Seeing that Hamerzi didn't say a word and was hesitant, Brother Too was a little anxious and spoke loudly, persuading Hamerzi to form an alliance with Zhan Bai to deal with the Jin army together.
Hamerzi glanced at Brother Too, pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Moi, saying in a deep voice: "Moi, Du Zhongbo's advice is good. I intend to form an alliance with him. What do you think?"
Moi shook his head and said in a low voice: "The hatred between us and the people of the Western Regions can no longer be resolved."
Hamerzi frowned and sat down, and looked at Moi quietly. He trusted Moi's wisdom very much. Since Moi said that, there must be his reason.
Moi picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea, made up his mind, and then said: "There is only one reason why Zhan Bai is willing to pay a huge price to win over the truce, that is, he is powerless to eat us. If he continues to fight, the Jin army will not have to take action at all. With our strength, we can defeat him. Therefore, the current situation is not whether Zhan Bai wants to fight, but whether we want to continue fighting."
Hammerechi nodded. What Moy said made sense. The current situation was that Zhan Bo could not capture Qi City, and the Dashi people living in the Western Regions took advantage of the empty military forces of the Western Regions to launch riots in various places. In the current Western Regions, except for the eastern part occupied by the Jin army, the rest of the Western Regions were already in chaos.
Then, Moy started the topic from another aspect.
Zhan Bai had absolute superior troops and could not capture Qi City for a long time, which shows that the morale of the army in Zhan Bai's hands had been disintegrated. More importantly, the Dashi people scattered in various parts of the Western Regions launched riots in cities everywhere. After the Dashi Empire was defeated, tens of thousands of Dashi soldiers and prisoners of war were imprisoned here. Earlier, Zhan Bai planned to transfer the Dashi ordinary people in the entire Western Regions to Qian Kingdom. Once the Persian Empire came over, Zhan Bai was preparing to give these to the Persian Empire in the form of slaves in exchange for the Persian Empire's retreat.
Zhan Bai himself may not have hated Dashiren too much, and his personal feelings are not very strong, but in order to gain the support of the Western Regions, he treated Dashiren very cruelly. The effect of this was indeed very good and he gained the support of many people. But on the other hand, Dashiren hated Zhan Bai very much, which was a jealousy.
Mahad, the former centurion of the Imperial Guards, was captured after his defeat in the war and was imprisoned there with tens of thousands of soldiers. As prisoners of war, their living conditions were extremely bad. The people of the Western Regions treated them like animals, and used all their means to torture and humiliate them and killed them in a planned manner. In less than half a year, most of the tens of thousands of Dashi prisoners of war soldiers died in pain, and less than five thousand survived.
Ganguo has 30,000 soldiers from the Western Regions, which is the elite force in Zhan Bo's hands. Even when it was so difficult, Zhan Bo did not use Ganguo's army. The reason is very simple. Ganguo is the most marginal country in the western Western Regions, and is the forefront of defending against the Dashi people and the Persian Empire. Half a year ago, Zhan Bo led his troops into the Dashi Empire, but was defeated by Bin Rashimo. In the current situation, Bin Rashimo gathered tens of thousands of troops, and was still in the eastern part of the Dashimo Empire and the Persian Empire. Resistance, so the army of Ganguo cannot move. Once the defense there is empty, Bin Rashimo will definitely lead the army to attack. At that time, Zhan Bo has no way to retreat, so even in the desperate situation, Zhan Bo has never moved the 30,000 elite troops of Ganguo, because even if he is defeated in Qicheng, Zhan Bo can retreat to Anshu Kingdom. If it is not possible, he can still retreat to Ganguo in the end. Relying on the 30,000 soldiers here, continue to resist. This is Zhan Bo's last bottom line.
However, Mahad's appearance completely ruined Zhan Bai's last retreat. The Dashi soldiers and prisoners of war led by him took advantage of the panic of the soldiers of the Gan Kingdom and the defense was relaxed. Mahad made a quick decision, seized the opportunity, launched a riot, and succeeded in one fell swoop, breaking out of the forbidden area and capturing the arsenal. His success here immediately stirred up the anger of all the Dashi people in the Gan Kingdom. Hundreds of thousands of Dashi people resisted. Thirty thousand Western soldiers were already in a low morale, and they completely collapsed in the face of the sudden civil strife.
Subsequently, Mahad led 50,000 troops, and was unstoppable. He was in the capital of Anshu. Once Suye City was captured, Mahad and Hammereqi joined forces. At that time, everything was really over. He was forced to do so. Zhan Bo could only send Du Zhongbo to venture into Qi City, hoping to reach a reconciliation with Hammereqi, aiming at the Jin army, and the two sides would temporarily hold up and join forces.
Du Zhongbo was indeed very smart. He avoided talking about the reversal of the strength of both sides, but pointed his finger at the Jin army. This gave Hamerge an illusion that he fought with Zhan Bai here, and in the end he would only take advantage of others and let the Jin army reap the benefits. But Moy was still clear-headed. He told Hamerge a truth. Now Zhan Bai has a weak army and has been attacking Qicheng for a few days, and has suffered heavy casualties. How much power can he have in his hands?
Moi said so clearly that even Brother Too understood, and said with some uncertainty: "What do you mean is that Zhan Bai is dead?"
Moy smiled coldly and said to Hammerjeez: "Sir, you might as well send some soldiers out of the city to raid Zhan Bo in the evening. There is no need for many people, one thousand is enough. You will see what Zhan Bo is like right away."
Hammerzi glanced at Brother Too. He had known Moi for many years, and both of them knew each other well. Moi obviously didn't finish his words. If he didn't say it, it would be inconvenient to say it. This inconvenience is naturally Brother Too.
