Chapter 695: Vesudeva I
Cutting Stone and Ha Tu were taken to Yue Kefeng's big tent by the patrolmen, Yue Kefeng looked at the two kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face, and the surrounding generals also looked bad, and some even showed a taste of schadenfreude.
"What about your 100,000 army?" Yue Kefeng asked in a deep voice.
The two of them were shocked, and they pleaded guilty with their foreheads on the ground: "General, the last general is incompetent!" Please deal with it according to military law! ”
Hatu on the side also kowtowed and pleaded guilty.
Yue Kefeng's eyebrows twisted, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Someone!" ”
The four Guishan soldiers then lifted the curtain and entered.
Seeing this, a subordinate general couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly pleaded for the two: "General, the two generals were defeated and should be beheaded!" However, it is currently a big war, and it is time to employ people, so it is better to let the two of them make meritorious contributions! ”
The name of the requested ministry is Tuosang, and the status is equal to that of the stone-cutter, and it is very closely related to the stone-cutting.
As soon as Tuosang's voice fell, more than a dozen generals on both sides came out to plead, and Cutting Stone and Hatu couldn't help but be moved.
Yue Kefeng had no intention of really executing the two of them, but when he saw this scene, he pushed the boat down the river and said: "For the sake of the generals' intercession, I will temporarily write down this crime!" I hope that in the future, the two of you will make meritorious contributions to the crime! ”
The two of them were extremely grateful to Xie Yue Kefeng's grace of not killing.
"Alright, you two get up! I have something for you! Yue Kefeng said.
The two stood up, standing with their hands down, Yue Kefeng walked up to the two, frowned and asked, "How many Wei troops are there attacking you?" ”
The two of them couldn't help but show shame and shame, and Sharpening the stone replied: "About, about fifty or sixty thousand people!" ”
"What?!" Not only Yue Kefeng was taken aback. The surrounding generals were also taken aback, and none of them thought of this possibility.
See the reaction of the crowd. The two couldn't help but feel even more ashamed.
Yue Kefeng came back to his senses and asked in disbelief, "You say." The enemy army is only fifty or sixty thousand? These 50,000 or 60,000 people will annihilate your 100,000 army? ”
Yue Kefeng's eyes erupted with fire, looking like he was going to eat people, and the two nodded with difficulty.
Yue Kefeng forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, "Are you not guarding against a possible surprise attack by the enemy at all?" ”
Yue Kefeng felt that only such a possibility could explain such an incredible result.
However, the answers of the two were much more than Yue Kefeng expected. Cutting Shi replied: "General, no matter how the last general is, he is also a veteran of the battlefield, how can he make such a low-level mistake!" ”
Then he cut the stone and told the whole battle in detail. At the end, the Sharpening Stone emphasized, with a fear that could not be concealed: "That army in fine armor and wielding a terrible broadsword is not human at all!" It's the butcher! It's the devil!! ”
His voice trembled with fear, and the fierce general Ha Tu, who was known for his bravery, also had a look of fear on his side.
Yue Kefeng and the others will be silent for a long time. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing, and the situation they brought back from the stone cutting far exceeded their previous estimates.
Yue Kefeng looked at the map hanging behind the handsome position with his hands behind his back, and muttered: "It seems that this battle will be as hard as imagined!" ”
Turning around, he asked urgently, "How's Singh's progress going?" ”
Tuosang immediately replied: "General Singh is rushing to attack the Kangju Royal City, although he has the advantage, it will take at least ten days to break through!" ”
Yue Kefeng couldn't help frowning, and asked again, "What about the situation in Crow Mountain?" ”
Tuosang replied: "The battle is fierce! If nothing else, the battle should be resolved within ten days! ”
Yue Kefeng frowned and said, "We don't have much time!" Immediately send a message asking His Majesty to increase the number of troops! ”
Tuosang understood Yue Kefeng's concerns. He made a promise and hurriedly withdrew from the big tent.
Yue Kefeng immediately ordered: "Order the 100,000 troops of the Chinese army to immediately march and move to"
Yue Kefeng walked to the map, and the generals immediately surrounded him.
Yue Kefeng pointed to a small river more than 30 miles north of the Rainbow Canyon: "The whole army went to the Mulberry River to build a fortress. to resist the Wei army! At the same time, General Singh and the Raven Mountain side were informed of the situation. ”
The Mulberry River is small and not fast, but it is deep and has only a rudimentary wooden rope bridge over it. If the Wei army wants to advance north, it will inevitably pass through the Mulberry River.
Early the next morning. Yue Kefeng personally led the 100,000 Chinese army of Guishan to advance towards the Mulberry River in the south.
At this time. Yue Kefeng's flying pigeon biography also spread to China.
King Kushan, now reigning Vesudeva I, immediately summoned his ministers to the main hall of the palace.
"The general asks this king to increase his troops by another 100,000! What do you think? Vesudeva I asked with a calm face.
His Royal Highness's ministers immediately whispered, and Prime Minister Guishan, who was equivalent to the prime minister of Wei, came out and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know why the general asked for reinforcements?" ”
The ministers immediately ceased their private discussion and looked together at Vesudeva I.
Vesudeva I said indifferently: "You may not know that the new emperor of the Han people in the Central Plains has sent a large army to the west, and the purpose is to stop our Great Kushan Empire's eastward expansion plan!" A day ago, our 100,000 troops fought against the Wei army in the Rainbow Canyon, which was more than ten miles north of the Green Ridge fortress built by the Han Chinese. ”
As soon as they heard this, the ministers were in an uproar, and many people's faces were full of disbelief.
"Your Majesty, how is this possible?" A middle-aged minister with a white cloth inlaid with a gold bun asked incredulously.
This minister was the finance minister of the Kushan, and he had always considered the Kushan Empire to be the most powerful country in the world, and arrogantly believed that all the peoples of the earth should be ruled by their Kushan, and the victory of the Kushan over the Central Asian countries before this, especially the great victory over the Sabbath Empire, which had once weighed on his head, had fostered his thoughts and conceit.
Previously, he was an active proponent of the Eastern Crusade, and although some people suggested that the Han might intervene, he believed that even the Han intervention would not be able to change the fate of Kangju's demise, because he believed that the army of the newly established Wei State could be the opponent of the Kushan Empire's army, which swept all directions and was able to fight well.
Vesudeva I glanced at the Chancellor of the Exchequer and said indifferently: "All this is true! ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was stunned for a moment, and then said with great certainty: "The Han people must have defeated the Chipping Stone with despicable intrigues!" ”
Vesudeva I did not deny this judgment of the Chancellor, perhaps he was trying to restore the confidence of the courtiers with the Chancellor's words.
The ministers chimed in, shouting for revenge on the Han Chinese, but the prime minister of Guishan frowned slightly and watched coldly, and Vesudeva I noticed his expression, but he did not say anything about it, but slowly turned the Buddhist beads in his hand.
No one knows what His Majesty the King, who ascended the throne at a young age and made the Kushan who was about to perish stronger, and who had united Rome and Wusun to defeat the Sabbatarian Empire not long ago, was thinking. (To be continued.) )
