Hearing this number, Sima Lang, who had known it for a long time, was also deeply shocked. It seemed to be somewhat beyond his expectation. .
"Three hundred thousand cavalry, which is about 70% of the Persian Empire's military strength. Is Hades really willing to use such troops to march eastward?" Sima Lang asked suspiciously.
"I helped him overthrow the Parthian dynasty and seize the throne of the Persian Empire. Over the years, I have taught him all the advanced civilization and skills of the Middle Kingdom, which greatly increased the national power of Persia. I advised him to conquer the Middle Kingdom. , can he disobey?" Sima Yi said confidently.
Sima Lang nodded slightly, naturally he did not dare to question Sima Yi's importance in Hades's eyes, but there was still some worry in his eyebrows.
Trust is trust, kindness is kindness. After all, Persia is too far away from the Middle-earth. So, just to repay the favor, did Hades raise an army that would destroy the country and attack the Middle-earth for their Sima family?
No wise emperor would do this.
The civilization and technology of Persia lag behind those of China, but they are far superior to those of the countries in the Western Regions, such as Xianbei and Wuhuan.
Even the Huru leaders like Xianbei knew how to use tricks and adapt to the prevailing circumstances, let alone the emperor of Persia.
"Of course, repaying a favor alone is not enough to induce Hades to send troops. I also told Hades that the Middle Earth in the East is in decline. As long as he sends troops, he will definitely be able to conquer it. By then, there will be endless Wealth and land, as well as countless slaves, will be his."
Sima Yi saw Sima Lang¡¯s suspicion and told him the real reason.
As cunning as Sima Yi, the real reason that persuaded the Persian emperor to send troops was the huge benefits.
Sima Yi came into exile from China and brought many coveted civilizational wealth to Persia. These things were a huge temptation for Hades, the Persian nobles, and even the bloodthirsty Persian civilians.
Now that I heard that Middle-earth is in decline and there is an opportunity to seize that paradise-like country, it is reasonable for Hades and the Persians to be tempted by this and send troops to the east.
Sima Lang, who was suddenly enlightened, finally eliminated his doubts, but he was worried: "But if 70% of the country's troops are used for the Eastern Expedition, wouldn't Hades be worried that the Roman Empire in the West would take the opportunity to attack?"
"Don't worry, I have received intelligence. The western part of the Roman Empire is being attacked by the German barbarians. There are also internal struggles for power. There are many struggles and there is no time to get involved in Persia. It is precisely because of this that Hades dared to Feel free and bold to send troops to the east." Sima Yi told his brother the latest information.
At this moment, Sima Lang finally let go of his heart and fully understood why Sima Yi could maintain his confidence.
It turns out that it was as if God was helping him, Sima.
"Originally, when we were in the Central Plains, our vision was limited to the Central Plains, but we never thought that there was Persia to the west of the Central Plains, Rome to the west of Persia, and vast lands such as Germany to the west of Rome. The world is so big, not only China." Sima Lang sighed.
Sima Yi snorted coldly: "I don't care about those foreign lands. In my heart, there is only China. I have been planning for so many years just to return to my homeland and kill Yan Liang with my own hands to avenge the deep hatred of the sea of ??blood." !¡±
Sima Yi looked solemn, and his words revealed a fierce murderous intent.
"Your Majesty is right, killing back to the Middle-earth is the right way." Sima Lang nodded in agreement, but then said: "But if we lead the Persians into the Middle-earth, it will be easy to invite the gods, but difficult to send them away. If the time comes, let The Persians took advantage and took over China. Are we not the sinners of China? "
"You don't have to worry about this. As soon as the Persians arrive and Yan Liang is defeated, the country he built with violence will fall apart and fall apart. At that time, we will take the opportunity to restore the country and unify the Central Plains, and then go back to Come to deal with the Persians. With the prestige of my Fire Worshiping Pope and the strength of the Middle Kingdom, are you afraid that I won¡¯t be able to drive away the Persians?¡±
Sima Yi spoke eloquently, and revealed his strategic plan.
After hearing this, Sima Lang sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed a mastermind, but in this way, even if we can take back China in the end, I'm afraid that many Chinese people will die under the iron hoof of Persia."
"For the great cause of the world, it is inevitable to sacrifice some people, and women cannot be kind." Sima Yi's tone was decisive, and the last sentence seemed to be educating Sima Lang.
Sima Lang was shocked and said sternly: "Your Majesty is teaching you a lesson. Please remember this. I will rush back to the Western Regions immediately."
Sima Lang bowed and hurriedly retreated.
The empty and glorious hall soon became quiet, with only Sima Yi sitting high above.
Sima Yi StationHe stood up, holding the flaming scepter, with a ferocious look in his eyes, and said with a cold smile: "Yan Liang, just wait, it won't be long before I, Sima Yi, will trample you under my feet. All those humiliations in the past, I I¡¯ll ask you to repay it tenfold, haha~~¡±
Sima Yi¡¯s wanton laughter echoed in the empty hall.
¡¡
West of Loulan City.
Sixty thousand Chu cavalry crossed the Panshe Pass, forced the city into the stronghold, and surrounded Loulan City.
Panshe Pass fell, five thousand elite soldiers were lost, and the unstoppable Princess Yuesha was also captured alive by the Chu army. This shocking news has plunged Loulan City into panic.
No one in the Shanshan Kingdom could believe that Princess Yuesha, who had defeated the Chu army a few days ago, became a prisoner of the Chu army in the blink of an eye.
Just a few days ago, they were celebrating that they had driven away the Chu people's wolves. A few days later, the Chu people came to the door of their house and were about to break into the city and slaughter Loulan City to ashes.
Outside the city, the imperial tent.
Yan Liang sat high on the table, his eyes flashing a bit strangely, as if he was brewing something.
After a while, the curtain was lifted and Princess Yuesha was brought in.
Now, Yue Sha has put on the clothes of an ordinary Western Region woman. Apart from the fierceness of a military commander, she looks more like a Western Region beauty.
Although the amorous feelings on Yuesha's body are not as enchanting as those of Dai Qisi, they are very attractive in their own way.
"Yue Sha, when you led your troops to attack my Yumen Pass, did you ever think that you would end up like today?" Yan Liang asked sarcastically.
Yuesha snorted coldly and said sternly: "If you hadn't sent troops to attack my Western Region, I would not have attacked Yumen Pass. I just did what I had to do to defend my hometown."
At this moment, Yuesha, after putting on her clothes, her dignity has been restored, and she seems to have forgotten the humiliation she suffered on the battlefield that day.
"You dare to quibble in front of me. I do remember that when my army had not left Chang'an, you five countries gathered together to surround Gaochangbi. It was obviously you who made the move first, but you were still confident." Yan Liang asked in return. .
Yuesha was startled, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
Yan Liang¡¯s words were true. Yan Liang had spread rumors that he wanted to conquer the Western Regions, but after all, he had not yet taken action at that time. On the contrary, it was the five countries in the Western Regions who were inspired by the Zoroastrian Cult to take action first.
¡°If we do the math carefully, it is actually the people from the Western Regions who were really at fault first.
"However, you summoned the kings of our five Western Regions to come to Chang'an for an audience. You clearly had evil intentions and wanted to harm our five countries. What's wrong with us being the first to resist?" Yuesha refused to listen.
Yan Liang sneered again: "You five countries have all come forward to express their submission to me. In this case, the kings of the five countries are my ministers. I want my ministers to come to see me. Isn't it okay?"
In a few words, Yan Liang choked Yue Sha until she was speechless. In terms of eloquence, this woman from the Western Region was obviously far inferior to Yan Liang.
Yuesha, however, was holding back so much that her face turned red, thinking that it was Yan Liang who was bullying them and invading their Western Regions, but now Yan Liang was talking about them, as if they, the Western Regions talents, were at fault.
This is the hegemony of a big country. As a powerful country, strength is the principle.
Looking at Yuesha who was speechless and at a loss for words, Yan Liang smiled disapprovingly and waved his hands: "That's all, I won't talk nonsense to you. I'm calling you here today to give you a chance to atone for your sins. As long as you write a book to persuade you to surrender." If your father plows the plow, I will spare the lives of your father and daughter, as well as the lives of all Loulan people in the city. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude. "
Yan Liang had already had the means to capture Loulan City, but after he witnessed the beauty of the city, he decided to keep the city and turn it into a pearl of the Great Chu Kingdom.
So, Yan Liangcai gave Yue Sha a chance.
"Don't even think about it. Our Shanshan Kingdom is full of brave people. We will never surrender to you, the invader. It is absolutely impossible for us to surrender!" Yuesha immediately became generous and shouted with her chest held high.
She was so excited that the two giant peaks were shaking up and down, which was extremely tempting.
"A woman is a woman. I tore her clothes before and kept them tight. Now I give her face and let her put on clothes but pretend to be dignified. I'm really asking for trouble."
A cold smile flashed across Yan Liang's eyes, and he said lightly: "In that case, tie her up, then let Dai Qishuan enter, and everyone else should leave for now."
The two men then tied Yue Sha to the pillar with her back and retreated one after another. After a while, Dai Qisi stepped into the tent again.
"My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty." Dai Qisi greeted her with a smile, and then like a bitch, she crawled at Yan Liang's feet and beat Yan Liang's legs without Yan Liang's instructions.Drink and serve.
Yuesha knew Dai Qisi well. When Nanhe City gathered troops, she had met the glorious Queen Yanqi.
Yuesha never expected that such a noble queen would now serve Yan Liang so humbly and shamelessly like a prostitute.
"Shameless, despicable!" Yue Sha cursed in a low voice with extreme contempt.
¡°Did you hear that, people are calling you shameless and mean?¡± Yan Liang played with Dai Qisi¡¯s breasts and sneered.
Dai Qisi stood up and faced Yuesha with a smile: "Those who are self-righteous and pretend to be noble are the real despicables. Yuesha, you are such a woman too. Scolding me is equivalent to scolding yourself, so why bother."
"Me? Humph, I am the Pearl of Loulan, how can I be compared with a despicable prostitute like you!" Yuesha said with dignity.
"What a Loulan Pearl, I want to see how noble you are." With that said, Yan Liang threw a dagger to Dai Qisi.
"Go, go and tear her noble coat to pieces for me, and let her reveal her true nature of being greedy for life and afraid of death." Yan Liang ordered with a sneer.
Dai Qisi smiled, picked up the dagger, and walked slowly towards Yuesha.
