Chapter 272 The war begins

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ourobazo led an army of 180,000 to the east. The first thing he did when he came to Guishan City was not to attack the city. He was not to show off his force and strength by killing. Instead, he first chose to communicate with the unfamiliar Eastern civilization.  The final goal of the collision and war of civilizations is actually to absorb the essence of other civilizations to improve oneself.  This is also the reason why Huo Guang chose to meet Eurobazo. At their level, they would not really put themselves in danger just because of a little curiosity.

    Of course, this is limited to real collisions between civilizations, such as the Han and the Huns, the Parthians and the Yueshi. There is nothing easy to communicate with at all. It is impossible for you to communicate with a barbaric race that has not yet formed a complete civilization system.  I hope he can sit down and talk to you calmly.

    "@#%@&OUROBAZO!" When Huo Guang was only two feet away from OLOBAZO, OLOBAZO crossed his hands on his chest and bowed slightly to Huo Guang.  This was the first time Huo Guang heard a Parthian speak in front of him. Ourobazuo babbled several words, but Huo Guang could only hear the last few pronunciations of these syllables.  .

    "Huo Guang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Regions of the Han Empire" Before Su Wu could translate, Huo Guang already knew that this was Eurobazo saying hello to him and announcing his name at the same time.  In response, Huo Guang also bowed slightly to Eurobazo and announced his name in Chinese.

    "Grand Governor, he means that he is the Prime Minister of Anxi" Su Wu still tried to translate Eurobazo's words conscientiously, but before he could finish speaking, Huo Guang waved his hand and said  : "This sentence does not need to be translated."

    And at the same time that Huo Guang waved his hand, Eurobazo, who was opposite him, also waved his hand.

    Huo Guang and Eurobazo looked at each other and smiled, and then burst into hearty laughter at the same time.

    "Hahahaha" The two of them speak different languages, but there is no difference when they laugh.

    Eurobazo turned sideways slightly, then pointed towards the pergola with one hand, making a gesture of invitation.  Huo Guang bowed his hands again, and then led Su Wu and Sima Qian into the pavilion without any courtesy.

    There were only three people from Huo Guang's side and seven people from Eurobazo, the five kings and the secretary's side inside the pavilion.  And it just so happened that these people were all wearing regular clothes, and there was not a single soldier wearing armor in the pavilion.  If it weren't for the clearly distinguishable soldiers on both sides outside the pergola, the scene inside the pergola would have been a scene of a noble gathering during their leisure time.

    Huo Guang and Eurobazo were sitting opposite each other in the pergola, both of them looking at each other solemnly at this moment.

    "Dear Prime Minister, I wonder where you are going this time?" Huo Guang was the first to break the silence. When he finished speaking, Su Wu quickly repeated it in the language of Anxi.

    "Chang'an" Eurobazo didn't say much, just two words.  And because most place names are transliterations, Ourobazo's pronunciation is still the Chinese word Chang'an, and even his secretary did not translate this sentence.

    "Oh? I think His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is also very happy to meet you." Huo Guang was a little surprised that Ourobazo was so direct, but then he said with a normal expression.

    Huo Guang had to admit that this Eurobazo was indeed a rare person. To be honest, from the very beginning when he met Eurobazo, his performance was extremely outstanding. Even the personality charm exuded by his words and deeds,  Even before he actually communicated with him, Huo Guang couldn't help but admire him. After these two simple conversations, Huo Guang thought that Eurobazo's performance had surpassed his own. Although he was the one asking the question at the beginning, these two simple words  This word made Eurobazo's momentum surpass his own.

    Waiting for the secretary's translation, Eurobazo understood the meaning of Huo Guang's words and continued: "Compared to His Majesty the Emperor of your country, I actually think more highly of Your Excellency the Governor."

    After Su Wu translated the words of Eurobazo, he felt a little unhappy. Su Wu had to tell Huo Guang as faithfully as possible to the obvious provocation.

    "There is a saying in our country that 'the light of a firefly cannot shine with the bright moon.' Our Emperor is the bright moon that shines all over the world, and I am just a firefly!" Huo Guang  He still had his usual smile on his face and was not angry because of Eurobazo's words.

    "Yinghuo Haoyue?" Eurobazo muttered a few words to himself after listening to the translator. Huo Guang didn't know what he meant, so he turned to look at  Su Wu.  Then Su Wucai whispered in Huo Guang's ear: "He is repeating the words "yinghuo" and "haoyue" that the governor just said.

    "What an elegant and beautiful metaphorI seem to see a beautiful picture from your words!" Ourobazo said suddenly, but he completely deviated from the original theme.

    "Only those who have beautiful scenery in their hearts can discover the real beauty. It can be seen that the Prime Minister has a big heart."people!  Huo Guang said with a smile.

    "Thank you for your compliment. On behalf of the empire and the King of Kings, I invite His Excellency Anyang Hou Huoguang to join the Parthian Empire. As long as you are willing to join the Empire, you will be the head of the kings. My army will help you conquer the entire East. You will  Become the only king in the entire East." Suddenly Eurobazo stood up, bowed to Huo Guang, and then said something astonishing.

    The more Su Wu translated, the more embarrassed he felt. However, before Su Wu had finished translating the last sentence, Huo Guang had already replied: "The head of all kings? Only under the King of Kings? How does that compare to the status of the Prime Minister?"  Woolen cloth?"

    Huo Guang¡¯s words shocked Su Wu. He didn¡¯t know if Huo Guang was moved.  When Eurobazo's secretary translated Huo Guang's words to him, Eurobazo took a deep look at Huo Guang. Seeing Eurobazo's eyes, Su Wu's heart sank even more.

    "The leader of all kings is naturally above me!" Eurobazo's smile became brighter and brighter, and then he said cheerfully.

    Su Wu had actually regarded Huo Guang as his subordinate for a long time, and even if Huo Guang supported Su Wu, he would be able to accept it. However, if Huo Guang defected to Anxi and became a traitor to the Han Dynasty, Su Wu would not be able to accept this result.  This has nothing to do with loyalty or not, but national sentiment and integrity.  Even if Huo Guang rebelled one day, it would be an internal matter within the Han Dynasty. But if Huo Guang became a traitor, Su Wu believed that not only would he be unable to accept it, but even the Nine Lords of the Western Regions would not all follow Huo Guang.

    Fortunately, Huo Guang's next words made Su Wu let out a long sigh of relief, and then he felt completely relieved.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are such a generous person! But unfortunately, I, Huo Guang, have the blood of the Han Dynasty, and the soul of the Han Dynasty lives in my body. If anyone wants to go to the Western Region, they can only step over my body. As for the entire Han Dynasty,  The empire Behind me, there are thousands of people like me How much can the Prime Minister promise?" Huo Guang also stood up and looked at Ou Luo.  Bazo said loudly, and finally pointed his finger to the east beside him.

    Not only was Su Wu relieved, but Sima Qian also let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he felt that it was really worth the risk to leave the city. Only by being there can he feel how exciting the confrontation between Huo Guang and Europa Zuo was.  This kind of personal experience is thousands of times better than what others have said. Now Sima Qian is even more fortunate that he has the honor to experience this important historical moment. The important figures of the two empires of the East and the West meet for the first time. All this will surely become important.  History spreads through the ages!

    "Then it's such a pity! But for such an important matter, the Grand Governor must also need time to consider it. To show my sincerity, I will retreat ten miles and give the Grand Governor three days to think about it." Eurobazo added.  Not surprisingly, Huo Guang refused. He just felt a little pity for such a result.

    "I have something to say to the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister is willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, you will become the new King of Kings!" Ourobazo already had the intention of leaving, and the first meeting between the two was basically  It was over here, but in the end Huo Guang said something like a courtesy.  As soon as Huo Guang's words were translated by Eurobazo's secretary, Eurobazo's expression remained normal, but the expressions of the five kings beside him all changed.

    "After three days, I hope you won't let me down!" Ourobazo gave Huo Guang the last salute, then turned around and walked away.

    "Guishan City will definitely leave unforgettable memories for Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Huo Guang also bowed his hands. The last words of the two people still sounded calm, but the atmosphere contained in them was already tense.

    A brief meeting ended in a hurry when Huo Guang returned to Guishan City.  Eurobazo did as he said, withdrew the army ten miles and then built a huge camp.

    "Grand Governor, will they really attack the city in three days?" After Huo Guang briefly explained the situation of the meeting to his subordinates, Li Ling asked with some confusion.

    "The Parthians also need to prepare, it will take about three days! Immediately send an order to Yancheng Lord Gao Bushi to lead his troops to join our army, and the defense of northern Xinjiang will be temporarily handed over to Xu Tuomi." Huo Guang answered casually,  Then he made the decision to let Gao Bushi come to Guishan City.

    In the camp of the Parthian army, Eurobazo also issued orders one after another. No one wondered why Eurobazo really had to wait three days. Everyone was following his orders to dig out earth and cut down trees.

    The three peaceful days passed quickly. Ourobazo commanded the army from a distance. The first batch of people who came forward were not armored cavalry or even servants. They were actually slaves pushing earth and rocks and carrying wood.  .  When these people began to backfill the ravine outside Guishan City, a large number of infantry in Guishan City also began to leave the city. The first battle was a one-sided massacre of Parthian slaves by the Han infantry.

      However, after the first wave of Parthian slaves were killed, an infantry phalanx from Parthia also pressed forward, and then the infantry of nearly 10,000 people from both sides began to fight in the narrow ravine.

    "Ming Jin withdraws his troops." Due to the limitation of the terrain, the two sides fought for nearly an hour, and the ravine in the first row was filled with earth, rocks, wood blocks and corpses.

    "The Parthians want to fill up the ravine like this. It seems that this method can only delay time" Soon Dongfang Shuo discovered Eurobazo's plan.  In such a place with ravines and crisscrosses, it is difficult for infantry to engage in large-scale battles, let alone cavalry. The first thing he has to do is to fill in the ravines.  After defeating the Great Yuezhi, Orobazo's men were not short of slaves.

    In this way, Eurobazo's army advanced little by little, and the ravines were filled up little by little. Although the Han army would send infantry to harass the opponent every time, it still could not stop this way of advancement.  The war between the two sides is going on day by day in this kind of continuous fighting that is not fierce.

    When the battle in Guishan City was on its fourth day, an urgent military information document from the Western Region Governor's Office was finally delivered to Chang'an City late that night. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also awakened from his sleep by this urgent military information, and then he  He had no choice but to leave the warm and fragrant nephrite embrace of Mrs. Gou Yi, and appeared in the Chengming Hall with several important ministers who had hurriedly arrived.
