Chapter 528 All parties are in action, and the main forces are out together [Subscription Request]

In the afternoon, the sun's halo fell into the tent.

The Zoroastrian deputy leader, Saxi, was wearing the cloth robe of a sergeant of Cao's auxiliary troops and holding a horse brush in his hand. It was obvious that he had been working before coming.

The so-called auxiliary sergeant is a servant who follows the general into battle.

Because of the general's high rank, he was also given the title of auxiliary sergeant.

But in reality, his job was to lead horses on the battlefield and do miscellaneous tasks for the army.

There is still some use for keeping Saxi.

He was captured alive by Ma Chao and Pang De, and is currently serving under Ma Chao, accompanying the army.

He had been beaten up by Ma Chao and Pang De every day some time ago, so he became very obedient and came in to pay his respects to Ma Chao, Pang De and Zhuge Liang.

"You have someone coming from Parthia." Ma Chao said.

"Deputy Patriarch Saxi, we have brought valuable gifts and are ready to redeem you," said Fares.

Sa Xi glanced at them and said, "I want to stay in Wei to atone for my sins. I will not go back with you."

"Atonement?"

Fares looked stunned.

"I used to oppose the Wei Dynasty, which was a very foolish act. Now I realize my mistake, so I am willing to stay in the Wei Dynasty and do hard labor."

Saxi spoke these words fluently, as if he said them several times every day.

Moreover, he had completed his self-strategy and spoke very sincerely.

Ma Chao smiled. He was well trained and much more sensible than before.

"What else do you want?"

"We want to see Emperor Wei."

Phares temporarily suppressed his surprise at the change in Sassi:

"We have brought a personal letter from our Lord of Parthia. It is very important and concerns the war between our two countries."

"You are not qualified to see our Majesty."

Ma Chao was too lazy to waste time, so he looked at Zhuge Liang and saw him nod slightly. He then shouted:
"Come here, take down these Parthians."

A group of Wei soldiers then rushed in from outside the gate, armed with bows and crossbows.

Fares said in horror:

"We are the representatives of Parthia. The war has not yet begun. Killing the envoys without authorization will only provoke war... My Parthian army will make you pay an unbearable price."

Ma Chao sneered.

Pharez and his party were taken away immediately, and beheading was waiting for them.

Sassi, who was watching the whole process, looked at Fares and others being escorted out with the eyes of looking at idiots.

He is much smarter. He just goes whichever way the wind is stronger. Compared to his life, everything else is not worth mentioning.

Moreover, this time, he followed Ma Chao to attack Kangju and fought along with the troops of the Great Wei. This also allowed him to witness the military strength of the Great Wei more directly, which had a profound impact on him.

With some thoughts in mind, Sa Xi followed Ma Chao and Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao's camp.

"Kong Ming, please draft a letter for me and send it to the Parthians. I want their king to come to the court in person.

If he doesn't come before we defeat the Kushans, my army will march into Parthia and put an end to his rule!"

Saxi was also brought over to listen, his heart pounding.

It is impossible for the King of Parthia to come to see Cao Cao in person, at least not at this stage.

He vaguely felt that the real purpose of the Wei Dynasty was to declare war on Parthia.

He couldn't figure out what the benefit of doing this was!
"You, take my letter and go back to deliver the message!" Cao Cao glanced at Sa Xi.

Saxi was stunned for a moment, then felt overjoyed.

He had been in Cao's camp for a long time and could understand some simple sentences.

The content of the conversation between Cao Cao and others was not complicated, and he could understand it.

Naturally he wanted to return to Parthia. He said he would stay to atone his sins because he knew the decision-making power lay with Ma Chao, and he would be beaten if he said the wrong thing.

But when Cao Cao spoke, the situation immediately changed, and it was obvious that letting him go back was not a lie.

Sa Xi knelt down and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do.

Your Majesty, I will never forget your god-like mind and the invincible strength of the Wei Dynasty.

After I return, if Your Majesty has any instructions, as long as you send me a verbal message, I will do my best to follow them and will not dare to shirk even a little bit."

Cao Cao said calmly: "Okay, go ahead."

As for Sassafras, this man was a coward. After being punished by Ma Chao and Pang De, he told everything he knew about Parthia, without reservation.

Apart from wavering between the two sides and trying to survive as a traitor in the cracks, he has no way back.

Cao Cao just let him go back to mess around.

"Come out with me."

Ma Chao took Sa Xi out, and the others also left the tent one after another.

Jia Xu came in from outside the tent.

"The war has already begun on the southern battlefield!" Cao Cao asked.

"Yes, the Kushans have deployed their troops and the war has begun."

Jia Xu reported the news from the front line.

With Kangju destroyed, the Kushans lost an ally. Fearing another unexpected event, they took the lead in raising troops and launched an offensive against Huang Zhong's troops.

Taishi Ci, who had returned from the southern expedition to Kangju, had rushed to the battlefield and returned to serve as Huang Zhong's deputy general!

The war has begun in full swing.

"Send a message to Guan and Zhang's troops, and have them move as well.

Ma Chao and Pang De led their troops to the southwest to support Han Sheng and Wen Yuan.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao picked up a scroll and read it with great interest.

Not long after, light footsteps were heard outside the tent.

The first female fairy in India, wearing a thin undershirt, came in from outside, with a graceful figure. Parvati said softly: "Your Majesty, I have asked someone to boil hot water. Do you want to take a bath? I want to help you take a bath."

The female demon tried every means to get close to Cao Cao.

"No need, go out."

Cao Cao was not interested in Indian abalone...and with a great war imminent, it was inappropriate for the monarch to hang out with women in the army.

Parvati obediently retreated again.

Cao Cao went out to fight and did not bring his maid with him. Parvati thought this was an opportunity. It was not the first time she was rejected, but she was thick-skinned and did not care at all. She would come back next time.

After she left, Cao Cao pondered the subsequent military strategies in his tent.

From the very beginning, he had intentionally gathered civil and military talents. In a sense, this was to concentrate his strength and use it at the most important moment.

The outside world does not know that, in Cao Cao's view, fighting the Kushans was just a prelude!
His real goal in this war was to deter the entire West.

Sending back the envoy's head would force Parthia to join the war with all its strength, so as to defeat it and the Kushan Empire together, thus saving the time and effort of fighting one by one.

Given the current strength of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao brought along all the civil and military officials with him in order to expand the war, fight campaigns in the south and the north, and spread the strength of the Wei Dynasty to the entire West.

After thinking over the strategic arrangements, Cao Cao glanced at his sea of ​​consciousness.

His dragon soul was still sleeping in his consciousness.

After defeating Kangju, the entry gave a hint that the evolution value of the dragon soul reached: 98.6. After conquering Kangju, it only increased by !

Cao Cao frowned. At this rate, it would take a long time to upgrade the dragon soul to perfection.

Defeat the Kushans first and see what changes that will bring.

……

February.

To the west of the Kushan Empire was the vast Parthian Empire.

The capital of the country.

Inside the palace, an angry voice rang out:

"News came from the front that the Wei people dared to kill my Parthian envoy. They sent back the head and a letter from the credible king, asking me to go to the king for an audience!"

The speaker was the King of Parthia, Vologases V.

He was about forty-seven or forty-eight years old, with a strong physique, wearing a scarlet cloak and even wearing armor in the palace.

He is a famous warmongerer in history, brave and warlike with a bad temper.

The attendants and ministers who came to report the incident knelt down with their heads bowed, trembling with fear for fear of getting into trouble.

This Majesty was not afraid of the powerful Romans at all. He took the initiative to provoke and start war with them several times, with both wins and losses.

"If we were not at war with Rome, I would immediately lead my troops into Kushan and chop off the head of the Great Wei ruler."

Vologases V, furious:

"Order the Second Army to move eastward. I want the King of Wei's head."

……

West of the Western Regions.

Ponsai, the leader of the Kushan generals, stood on the city wall of Shakara and looked into the distance.

The city of Shakara was the largest and most fortified city in the southeastern part of the Kushan Empire. It belonged to India in the early days and was conquered and ruled by the Kushan Empire.

If the city of Shakara was breached, the Kushans would have no defenses and would be easily advanced to the Kushan capital of Furusha by Cao's army.

The Kushans originally had six major military corps.

But at present, the fifth and sixth legions have been completely defeated by Cao's army.

The Fourth Legion was under the command of Pujes and had also been defeated by Guan and Zhang before.

The first three legions, however, remained basically intact. Except for a small number of essential troops left behind, all of them had been mobilized to go to war with the Wei Dynasty.

What Ponce saw from the top of the city was the troops of these three legions gathering to the front line from all directions.

These elite Kushans were wearing armor on horseback and holding lances with sharp edges at both ends.

The Great Yuezhi were a nomadic tribe and had always attached great importance to cavalry.

At that time, the Kushans still had about 50,000 elite cavalry and an equal number of infantry.

Among them, the First Legion and the Second Legion are all brave soldiers who have fought for many years.

However, after fighting against the Wei army, Ponsai always felt uneasy.

He used troops for several days to test the Cao army on the opposite side, but Huang Zhong remained firmly on guard.

It is obvious that Cao's army has not yet made any effort, as if they are waiting for an opportunity to appear.

In addition to Ponsai, Afu Yu, Xiao Foshou and others were also there.

At this time, a soldier quickly climbed up to the top of the city wall and said, "General, we just received news that the Wei people killed the Parthian envoys and openly returned their heads to the Parthians.

It is said that the King of Parthia is furious and has ordered his troops to declare war on the Wei army in Lanshi City from the north. "

Little Buddha and Afu Yu looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

They had previously been worried about the instability of the alliance.

Parthia was the first to go to war, which was exactly what they wanted.

With Parthia tying down the main force of the Wei army in the north, they can focus on dealing with Cao Wei's central army.

"General Pang Da, Shejia Luo City is located in a plain. The Wei people are experienced in siege warfare. We cannot defend it. Since we want to fight, we should send troops first and seize the initiative."

……

Cao’s army camp.

"Zilong, the troops from all sides are moving, you should move too."

"promise!"

On a morning in mid-February, Zhao Yun assembled his troops and marched out of the camp to the west.

The main forces of both sides rushed into the battlefield one after another! !
