When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 742: Go and invite the Han Heavenly Soldiers

The Kushan Empire is about to be in chaos.

The Dayuezhi nobles decided to raise the slogan of "Respect the King and Punish the Traitors", and then set a time to lead their troops into the palace to attack Bo Diao!
After receiving the tip-off, Bo Diao was furious. "You bastards! What a bunch of bastards! Who gave them the courage?! This is rebellion! Fine, fine, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!"

"Someone is coming!"

"Pass on my order, have the spies in the dark split up into small groups and assassinate those who are plotting rebellion!"

As Bo Diao's confidants bowed and retreated, the spies hiding in the dark sneaked into the mansions of the Dayuezhi nobles, and took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to shoot arrows decisively!

shhhhhh

The cold arrows tore through the air and headed straight for the vital points of the Dayuezhi nobles. As one noble after another fell to the ground, the Dayuezhi nobles woke up as if from a dream. They protected the guards in front of them and shouted at the same time: "Assassin, there is an assassin! Catch the assassin, catch the assassin!"

This shout alarmed the guards in the mansion, and they rushed over. The spy had no way to escape and was killed on the spot!

This scene took place in the mansions of various nobles in the royal capital. Among those who were assassinated were many heads of various households, and of course there were also some heads of households who were lucky enough to escape.

This swift and swift assassination caught the nobles off guard. Before the nobles could react, Bo Diao suddenly promoted some of the nobles who had survived the assassination and made them some promises that as long as they supported Confucianism, their descendants would be able to serve as officials in the court.

These nobles were still a little dazed when they walked out of the palace. Did they actually take advantage of others for nothing?

"Alas." Bo Diao sighed. In fact, letting the spies assassinate would not solve the problem. After this incident, he had only a few spies left. He knew that this method could only be used once. If he used it too much, the other party would definitely take precautions. Therefore, he had to interrupt the original plan and adopt the strategy of pulling in one group and attacking another, slowly dividing the nobles.

As expected, the nobles who gained benefits aroused the envy of other nobles. Public opinion evolved from "there are traitors around the king" to "there are traitors among us", and the fragile alliance between nobles seemed to have come to an end.

A great war was settled.

However, at the court meeting on the second day, Bo Diao, who was sitting on the throne, smelled a faint smell of gunpowder.

The nobles were divided into two or even three factions. They had different political views and attacked each other.

The political views of one party are often opposed by the other party.

And this is exactly what Bo Diao wants to see. What is there to be afraid of when nobles are disunited?

Next, as long as we take back the military power, everything will be fine!

Just when Bo Diao was secretly delighted, an urgent message sent with a speed of 800 miles was delivered to Bo Diao.

"The South is in rebellion, Parthia is invading!"

"what!"

Bo Diao was horrified. He never expected that the South would rebel just when things were starting to get better on his side.

What should I do? What should I do?

Bo Diao wanted to ask Ma Su for advice, but he stopped the impulse. He respected Ma Su and was even willing to give Ma Su full authority to promote Confucianism, but it did not mean that he trusted Ma Su without reservation. He knew that Ma Su's advice was most likely to ask for help from the Han army. The purpose of promoting Confucianism and dealing with the nobles was to strengthen the country. Asking the Han army to enter Kushan was different from promoting Confucianism. The Han army was too strong, so strong that he was scared. He had a feeling that if the Han army was allowed to intervene in military affairs, the country would be doomed.

Bo Diao took a deep breath and looked at all the civil and military officials in the court. "The south is in rebellion, and Parthia is invading. Who among you is willing to lead the army?!"

"This..." For a moment, all the ministers looked embarrassed.

After suppressing the rebellion, Bo Diao selected nobles with suitable family background and political inclinations to serve as generals to suppress the rebellion.

However, what no one expected was that within less than a month, news of defeat came from the front. Not only did they fail to suppress the rebellion and repel the foreign enemies, but they even lost several cities.

Bo Diao's face changed drastically. It had only been a short time. Even if a pig was replaced, it would not lose several cities in a row!
“What should we do now?!” Seeing that no one spoke, Bo Diao had to look to Ma Su for help.

Ma Su clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the king, we should fortify our defenses and clear the fields, and wait until the bandits have run out of food and grass before pursuing them."

"Alas. This is the only way." Bo Diao accepted Ma Su's opinion.

Facts have proved that the policy of defending without attacking seems to be the right choice. The Parthian Army and the Southern Allied Forces, who were regarded as bandits by Bo Diao, were actually stopped.

"Huh!" Bo Diao, who was in the bedroom, breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ma Su with a grateful look on his face, "This time it's all thanks to the Prime Minister!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. The danger of rebellion has not been resolved yet. Your Majesty must not take it lightly!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. I have my own plans in mind." Halfway through his words, Bo Diao seemed to realize something. He was startled and thought to himself, "No way."

He swallowed and thought of something that even frightened himself. He looked at Ma Su in doubt and said, "Prime Minister, do you mean that someone in the court is colluding with the South? The defense line is likely to collapse from within?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The barbarians in the south are like water and fire to us."

"Your Majesty, you must be on guard against others."

"This"

Bo Diao thought about it and decided to adopt Ma Su's suggestion just in case.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Bo Diao's order after it left the capital. The generals guarding the city even smiled with contempt and ridicule, "Bo Diao? He is just a running dog of the Han Dynasty. He asked me to pay more attention to the inside. What a joke! Are you taking advantage of me because I don't know how to fight?"

"General, what are the words in the king's letter?" the aide asked in a low voice.

The general curled his lips and said, "Don't worry about it. There are many loyal officials and generals in the city. Where did the traitor come from? It's really strange."

Soon the general paid the price for his arrogant words. The guard at the city gate came hurriedly to report, "General, something bad has happened! Someone at the north gate took advantage of the opportunity to open the north gate!"

"What?!" The general widened his eyes, staggered back three steps, and accidentally fell to the ground.

The guards and staff shouted "General, General" and they hurriedly helped the fallen general up.

At this moment, the general's face was completely bloodless, as pale as paper, his eyes had lost their luster, and his chapped lips could not stop trembling, "How is it possible, how is it possible? How could there be a traitor in the city?!"

"I regret not listening to the king!"

It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything now. When the general came to his senses, the shouts of killing were already approaching!

The rebels advanced rapidly and won battle after battle. None of the generals sent by the Kushans could stop them.

Soon the rebels pointed their swords directly at the capital. Even at this time, the civil and military officials in the court were still fighting and accusing each other!

"Enough! Are you still making noise at this time? If you have the energy to make noise, why don't you go up to the city wall yourself to resist the rebels!" Bo Diao shouted angrily.

The scene then became quiet, and all the ministers fell silent, as if the previous noise was just an illusion.

Bo Diao sighed again and again. The management of this time really made him exhausted. The reality was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Who could have thought that the time had come for the country to be destroyed?
The plan for now The plan for now
Ugh.

Bo Diao seemed to have aged ten years. He made a weak decision, "Go and ask the Han army to come."
