Chapter 917
In the 23rd year of Yankang, the war between Dahan and Guishuang entered a stalemate. Perhaps the Dahan underestimated Guishuang's coach before the war, and more because the soldiers of the Dahan were not used to the water and soil here. Therefore, the generals of the Dahan gradually After calming down, before the war started, Sun Ce had arrogantly said that he would capture the King of Guishuang within 20 days, but now, the war has continued for a year.

Zhang Liao led the soldiers, successfully outflanked the northeast of Guishuang, and occupied it all the way. As a result, the main force of Guishuang and the royal family were trapped in Fulousha City and Shilustuo City. King Guishuang lost the right to command the outside world. Cutting off their connection with the outside world is also a series of arrangements made by the old man in Guishuang. When Zhuge Liang's messenger rushed to Guishuang and asked the king of Guishuang to hand over the assassin, the king of Guishuang was still lucky.

The King of Guishuang, called Weisudipo II, was called a greedy and untrustworthy king by the people of Guishuang at that time. His greatest achievement was to force his own uncle to death and kill himself. Seven brothers and sisters, and when he inherited the throne, he promised that he would not pursue any nobles who participated in the crown prince competition, but when he came to power, all these people were dealt with by him one by one.

The reasons are also very strange. For example, the chief guard of the palace was hated by King Guishuang because he supported the return of the prince in Dahan and let him inherit the throne. This person is also a very loyal person. To be loyal to King Guishuang, you must not violate any orders of King Guishuang. King Guishuang said that he wanted to see how loyal he was, so he gave him an order.

Ask him to kill his two sons and give his heart to himself.

The chief guard killed his own son and dedicated it to him.

King Guishuang was still not satisfied, and asked him to kill his wife, his beloved horse, and cut off his right arm.

The head guard did the same.

In the end, King Guishuang smiled and gave an order, the last order, asking him to kill his father, and the chief guard committed suicide because he could not continue to complete this order. After he committed suicide, King Guishuang angrily threw his body Hanging on the city wall, he thought that the chief guard was a disloyal guy who violated his oath, and what was even more exasperating was that the chief guard had saved him many times.

And the head of the guard is called Nurpa, and his father is called Nusha.

It is such a lunatic who tossed Guishuang, which has a population of tens of millions and a main force of 20, into what it is today. The nobles defected everywhere, and the rations of the soldiers were all deducted by him to build a huge palace. He asked an envoy who had been to Dahan to build him a Dahan's Luoyang City in Fulusha as his usual residence.

After he took charge of Guishuang, there would be hundreds of uprisings every year. However, at this time, King Guishuang was not stupid. He cried and went to the general Nuxia whom he dismissed, and told him that everything before was done by the palace. The servant deceived him, he was unintentional, hoping to save Guishuang because of his friendship with the old king.

Under the begging of Weisudeva II, this old general who once served as the head of the court guard of Kanishka I will still go to various places in Guishuang to quell the rebellion. Most of the time, the rebellious soldiers and common people, After knowing that he was coming, he would throw away the ordnance in his hand and surrender directly. You must know that Kanishka I is the wise king of Guishuang and the great-grandfather of Weisudeva II.

This Kanishka I is the founder and pioneer of the Guishuang Empire, and also the greatest king of Guishuang. When he was in power, he loved his people and reused talented people. That was the most powerful period of Guishuang. In order to compete with Anxi for the benefits of the silk trade, in addition to vigorously developing the sea route leading to Dahan and the land route passing through Daxia and Dawan into Dahan, it also operated a new commercial route passing through Kangju and Khorezmo and crossing the Caspian Sea to the west.

At that time, Guishuang not only monopolized almost all the spice trade, but also occupied an important position in the silk trade. The economy was extremely developed, and it monopolized the exchange and economic exchanges of the whole thing.

At the same time, he was also a king on horseback. He fought many times abroad, bringing the territory of Guishuang to the apex. He conquered northern Guishuang and defeated Parthia in the west. He even led the army to try to The conquest of the Western Regions made many small countries in the Western Regions rush to recognize Guishuang's suzerainty for fear of being destroyed by him. When he was in power, Guishuang's strength far surpassed that of Anxi. In terms of military strength, it has already reached the point where it can compete with big men.

And Nusha is his palace guard chief. It is said that Kanishka I saw the different qualifications of this young man very early on, and promoted Nusha, who was very stupid and not very bright at the time, to the palace guard. In the position of chief, Nuxia also formally made an oath to be loyal to the royal family for life, and his children and grandchildren will all be loyal to the royal family and will not disobey the orders of the royal family.

Nusha fought with Kanishka I all his life, but he did not show much aptitude, but after the death of the old king and the succession of Vishika, he showed his bravery and fought for more than 40 years , after Hubisaka, that is, during the battle between Guishuang and the Han, the king felt that Nuxia's prestige was too high, so he left him in the south.

In Guishuang, the status of Kanishka I is roughly equivalent to that of Emperor Xiaokang in the Han Dynasty.

And Nuxia's status is roughly equivalent to that of Xing Ziang who lived to the Yankang period.

He has witnessed the glory of Guishuang, and he is experiencing the destruction of Guishuang.

The oath of Weisudeva II is almost equivalent to nothing. Every time he begged the old general to put down the rebellion for him, but every time the old general succeeded, he always made him very jealous. He also thought about killing Nu Xia, but Nu Xia has too many supporters, he dare not act like this, no matter what rebellion, if the other party sees Nu Xia, they will immediately surrender, hoping that the old general will kill him himself, which shows his prestige.

And this old man has become the most powerful enemy that the big man faces at this moment. He is like a tortoise, guarding the city of Shilustuo, stubbornly resisting the attacks of the Han army again and again, the main force of the big man They were all dragged here, and for a year, the northern army was unable to take it, which made Guan Yu gritted his teeth angrily.

The city of Shilustuo is like a purgatory, with corpses and blood everywhere, the old general is smiling and always looks calm, standing at the top of the city, and many generals are standing behind him, these people , are all his confidants, the rebels he rescued, it is ridiculous to say that, in the end, it was some of Guishuang's rebels who defended Guishuang against powerful enemies, and the veteran who made Guishuang the most disturbed.

The old general squinted his eyes and looked at the tents of the Han army. The number of the Han army seemed to be increasing continuously, and the supplies and soldiers in the city could not afford such an intense siege battle. Nuxia suddenly laughed , He said: "Great, look, the Han bandits have transferred a lot of farmers, which means that their soldiers are not many, just bluffing, they come from afar, and the food supply is gradually insufficient , we will win soon!"

Hearing his words, a glimmer of hope rose again in the hearts of the Guishuang soldiers. They widened their eyes and looked at the old general. The old general was very confident, waved his hand, and said, "After the war, I will definitely I will personally give you a vast land, and I will be the big lord there, and you will be small lords! We can raise some black wool sheep.”

And in the Han army camp opposite, Guan Yu led many generals of the Northern army, also discussing the war.

"It can't go on any longer. Zhang Liao has already sent a report to Lord Zhuge Ling, hoping to concentrate his main force and attack Fulousha from the south. Lord Zhuge Ling has also gone to the southern army, saying that he wants to occupy the southern territories of Guishuang separately. In fact, it is to investigate whether Fulousha can be captured from the south." Guan Yu said seriously, among the many generals, Cao Zhang hesitated for a moment, Fang said:
"We have been unable to capture here for a long time, and it is inevitable to attack from the south."

Guan Yu was not angry, he nodded, and said just now: "If it is not the old man on the other side, this is of course possible, but under the current situation, if we concentrate our main force to the south, this old man will definitely cut off our food supply." Dao, it is even possible to counterattack Gaofu City, imprison us in Guishuang, and swallow us up"

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Cao Zhang was frightened immediately. After thinking about it carefully, it was really so. He said quickly: "Then the general must dissuade Linggong, don't let him issue such an order!"

"Why are you panicking?? Have I ever told you what is the most important thing for a general?"

"Calm"

"I don't believe Zhuge Linggong can't understand this. As for Zhang Liao, he has never dealt with the old man Nu Xia for such a long time, and he has been crushed all the way in the south, so he underestimated this man Ling You wouldn’t do this.” Guan Yu said, stroked his beard, and said seriously: “In my opinion, Guishuang’s downfall does not lie with Fulusha, but with Nuxia. Only he is dead. Guishuang is the real perishing."

"Then", everyone began to think about it, but there was no good solution for a while.

"He seems to be Lian Po from the pre-Qin period. Do you know how Lian Po was defeated?"

"He? He was replaced. Oh? What does General Guan mean??" Cao Zhang immediately realized.

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Isn't Zhuge Linggong always able to speak to the royal family of Guishuang? If that's the case, why not do me a favor by spreading rumors in Fulousha. Nuxia has always been defensive and unable to attack. The Han army is very happy that a large area of ​​Guishuang's territory has been captured. It is not him who the Han army is afraid of, but the young people in the Guishuang court."

"I understand!" Cao Zhang said with a smile.

"The Great Wall of Guishuang, we can't destroy it, so we have to let King Guishuang destroy it himself."
