Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 645 Excuse me, farewell!

Although the Kingdom of Bactria occupies quite a lot of land, no one thinks that they are the kingdom of Shendu.

It was originally a part of the Persian Kingdom, a bridge between Persia and Shidu, which is now Afghanistan.

Later, the young Alexander the Great conquered Darius III, but met tough resistance here. There was a local nobleman named Bezos who declared himself the successor of Darius. ) blocked Alexander for two years, and the imperial cemetery did not work.

Since then, the culture here has taken on a strong Greek style.

Until the death of Alexander, the Seleucid Empire, which inherited his inheritance, was established, and this place became part of the Seleucid Empire. Later, some minor incidents occurred in the Seleucid Empire. up
After seeing the weakness of the Seleucid Empire, the Governor of Bactria at that time also declared independence, thus establishing the Kingdom of Bactria today.

They have expanded countless times in these years. The territory of the kingdom starts from the middle reaches of the Ganges River in the south of the Himalayas in the east, reaches the eastern desert of Persia in the west, reaches the Bay of Mumbai in the south, and borders the Syr Darya River in Central Asia in the north. , Their interior is full of contradictions. The rulers here are still outsiders, localized Greeks, and they are even a minority. They forcibly impose their own beliefs and culture on the people at the bottom, causing rebellions and splits in the kingdom. , several times to unify.

But today's kingdom is not only in internal turmoil, but has also ushered in external challenges.

Outside the mountains to the north of the kingdom, there is a fortress. This fortress is probably one of the strongest fortresses in the kingdom. It used to be the castle of the hero Bezos, and it was the headquarters of the resistance against Alexander. Now, this fortress is also Silently resisting foreign enemies for the empire.

King Dmitry II of Bactria slowly left the fortress.

He was riding a very handsome black horse, wearing a crown and clothes woven with brocade. He raised his head high, maintaining the majesty of the king, and behind him were 300 people. Guards, these people hold large shields and spears, wear helmets, and cloaks behind them, they are Greek warriors.

And in the distance, there are many knights waiting for them.

Compared with these neatly formed Greeks, those people in the distance are much more chaotic. They wear clothes made of fur and short bows. They have different clothes and looks. The horses stood in a row at random, and they couldn't even tell who was the real leader.

Dmitry II frowned slightly as he looked at the Huns in front of him.

He hated these barbarians very much. The Kingdom of Bactria has always looked down on those barbarians who came from a distance, and of course they also looked down on the poisonous people. They called the poisonous people "conquered", and The only person they took the initiative to contact was the big man. In history, they once received the help of the big man through the way of exchanging envoys with the big man, and thus prospered. The main road prevented them from having direct contact with the big man. In the end, the Yuezhi people forced them to marry and annexed their kingdom.

Just like the big man thinks that he is a state of etiquette, and the outside is full of barbarians, the country of Buck has always believed that it is a country with culture. We know astronomy, philosophy, mathematics, and those outside are barbarians.

But now, Dmitry can only negotiate with these barbarians whom he usually looks down on.

Demetrius II did not speak, but the attendants standing beside him began to read loudly, "Successor of Alexander the Great, invincible who defeated the Seleucid Empire, master of the land of Bactria, Demetrius The Second Emperor came here, wanting to meet the conqueror Hutu on the grassland!!"

He said it first in his own language, then in the language of the Huns.

Hutu looked at them disdainfully, then laughed.

"Invincible? I just defeated three of your armies not long ago!"

Dmitry calmly looked at the "barbarian" in front of him. He didn't come to quarrel with this man. He said, "The Han Dynasty sent an envoy, asking me to go to Fahrenheit City in person, otherwise my country will be destroyed." nation."

Bactria has always wanted to establish a stable diplomatic relationship with the big man, but obviously, the current diplomatic relationship is not what they hoped for. Dmitri didn't want to go to Fahrenheit City. They have been fighting with poisonous people for a hundred years. The two sides are simply sworn enemies, let yourself go to their capital alone? ?Why not just let yourself kill yourself?
But he didn't dare to ignore the threat from the big man.

They have been paying attention to the battle of Shenpo, and they also know the record of the Han army there. In all fairness, Dmitry does not think that his army is much stronger than those of Shendu. Although he has always had an advantage over the years , but it is absolutely impossible to crush like the Han army.

Sensing the danger, Dmitry immediately came to find allies for himself.

Around him, the only allies he could find seemed to be the Huns.

When Hutu heard his words, he was not moved at all. Since his elder brother died, Hutu led the tribes of the Xiongnu back to their original appearance, gradually removed many reforms of Jizhou, and started looting everywhere again. They occupied the commercial channel in the north, that is, the territories of the later stans, and often sent people to plunder Bactria and even the kingdom of Assassin in the west. However, the plunder in the west was not It went so smoothly, those people from the Assassin Kingdom were also good at riding and shooting, and they were brave and warlike. They had just ended the Seleucid Empire not long ago, and they were at their peak. When they met the Huns, they didn’t panic , They also started as nomads, and they all did looting. Who is afraid of whom?

The two sides fought directly, and the Huns could not take advantage of it.

Hu Tu still had a look of disdain on his face, "What does this have to do with me? Let alone letting you pass, even killing you, it has nothing to do with me!"

Dmitry was a little angry, "The poisonous people fight among themselves, and the final result is that when the Han army appeared, they could not resist at all. They had no resistance after the first battle. Given the terrain of our kingdom, if we Together, we can stop the conquest of the Han country, and at the same time prevent the poison from falling into the hands of the Han people so quickly. You are also the king. Don't you know that if we perish, you will be the next one to perish? !"

"Hahaha, we are different from you, we can go. Do you remember? The grassland is our home, if we can't beat it, we can still go!"

"Go? Where are you going?? There are Han troops on three sides, you go west? Can you beat Mithridates? He ended Seleucus and established a powerful Parthian Empire. Where are you going to go? go?!"

Hu Tu narrowed his eyes, "I can continue to go north"

"I'll give you a second choice. Let's join forces and resist them together. They have come from afar. As long as we use the terrain here, we can prevent them from advancing. As long as we can resist them for a year, they must retreat. .”

"What can you do for me?"

"gold!"

"livestock!"

"slave!"

"I can give you whatever you want."

Hutu was a little confused. He looked at the nobles around him, ignored Dmitri, and started a low-pitched conversation with the nobles around him. Since it was a negotiation, and the other party wanted something from him, of course he had to get enough the benefits of.

The opinions of the nobles seemed to be different. They had been arguing for a long time, which made Dmitry even more angry. He missed the leader of the Huns very much. They also wrote letters to each other, and that person even said that they could marry him and marry his daughter. When that person died, Dmitry was very happy, his strong enemy finally died, But seeing this new successor, he began to miss that mortal enemy.

If he is still there, there is no need to say anything at all, he will take the initiative to cooperate with me, right? ?

After discussing for a long time, the protective coating seems to have made up its mind.

There was a greedy gleam in his eyes.

"I want 20 slaves! I want eight cities! I want all kinds of weapons"

Dmitry began to negotiate the price with him again, and the two sides could not settle down.

Hu Tu finally backed down a step, he felt that he had taken advantage of it, and his face was full of smiles, "Don't worry, you won't suffer, my knights can be responsible for involving them, so that they can't do it all the time." Attack with all our strength, we cooperate, you defend the city, I harass, they will not be able to defeat us I am still very familiar with the Han people, who is the general the Han people sent this time? As long as it is not Han, I can win!"

Dmitry said solemnly: "This time...their emperor went out in person, and you live here too, don't you know anything about it?"

Hutu was busy looting and giving birth all day long, so he would send people to inquire about these things.

At that moment, the smile on Hutu's face froze.

"Who did you say??"

"Their emperor."

"Hercules on a white horse?"

"It's him."

Hu Tu immediately shook his head, "Just pretend you haven't seen me. Let's withdraw!!!"

Dmitry panicked immediately, and regardless of his own safety, he rode his horse to Hutu's side and grabbed his arm, "We just reached an agreement?? Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember that the agreement is void. Don't worry, I won't ask you for slave gold or anything else. You can keep it for yourself. I'm going to take my own people and start withdrawing."

"No, don't rush to leave! I can add more, 20 slaves are not impossible"

"No, it has nothing to do with the price. Keep it for yourself. I won't do what you give. Stop pestering me. I will leave here with my own people. You don't have to send people to guard against our looting." Now, feel free to resist the Great Han Emperor."

Hu Tu's face was extremely determined, even after hearing about 20 slaves, his face never wavered for a moment.

"You want to leave?? Just because the emperor of the Han Dynasty appeared to be poisoned?? Where are you going??"

Dmitri couldn't figure out the changes in the Hun Shanyu at all.

Hu Tu said seriously: "I'm going to the west. I know there are Parthians over there, but if I have to choose between the Parthian king and the Han emperor as my opponent, then I would rather fight against the Parthians. "

"You haven't experienced it, you don't understand at all, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not a mortal, he is a god in charge of strength and war, and a true warrior blessed by the Changshengtian. No one can defeat him. No one can stop him. I advise Get ready!"

Hu Tu said, turned around and left here, the knights followed behind him at an extremely fast speed, and soon disappeared into the distance.

Dmitry was dumbfounded.

He had heard a lot of rumors about that emperor, but he didn't expect that the Huns were so scared that they would run away when they heard his name? ?

Thinking of the fighting power shown by the Huns in these years, Dmitry's face suddenly became a little desperate.

"King. What shall we do?"

Dmitry's eyes were a little dull.

"Get ready, I'm going to resist them myself."

"The hometown of hero Bezos will never surrender easily."

The attendant was taken aback, but didn't the hero Bezos surrender to Alexander in the end? ?
The Kingdom of Bactria is bordering the Maurya Kingdom, and they have occupied a lot of territory of the Maurya Kingdom, and built several forts here.

Dmitry II stood on the chariot, armed with a spear, ready for battle.

And around him, there is an army of more than 2 people.

Although their number is small, they are well equipped, including chariot troops, spearmen, and archers.

They lined up, especially the spearmen. They were tall and burly, holding a large shield in one hand and a spear in the other. They lined up neatly beside the king. The formation was square and the spears were like trees. As if they were about to pierce the sky, their eyes were firm, staring at the distance. On several fortresses in the distance, a large number of archers were ready to shoot. Dmitry was wearing armor all over his body. There are also several knights, and these knights are also fully armed.

The ground trembled slightly, and the loud sound of horseshoes came from afar.

Dmitry took a deep breath and stared into the distance.

He is not a brave man, in fact, he is also very afraid of this war.

However, until now, he has no choice. He is not willing to surrender his country and surrender like those poisoned people. He wants to die on the battlefield with honor like his father's generation.

The enemies in the distance gradually revealed their true colors.

cavalry.

Uncountable cavalry.

They appeared from the distant horizon, occupying almost every place that everyone could see. From a distance, they were densely packed, covering the sky, and there were more and more small black spots, and they were heading towards their own. The direction was approaching, and the soldiers around the king were obviously frightened at this moment. The trembling of the ground became more and more obvious, the sound of horseshoes became louder, and the king's hand holding the spear began to tremble.

The face of the enemy gradually became clear.

A tall giant-like warrior riding a white horse led the cavalry. They were fully armed, almost armed to the teeth. Even the horses under their crotches were covered with armor. It was like a torrent of steel that could not be defeated.

Gritting his teeth, Dmitry tremblingly raised the spear in his hand.

At this moment, the attendant rushed out in horror.

"King!! Something big happened!"

"Something happened in the capital!!"

"Okratides launched a shameless sneak attack while you were leaving the capital! He defeated our defenders and called himself the only king of Bactria!! He is the successor of the Seleucid Empire! He also expelled Killed all your officers!"

"what?!!"

Dmitry felt something explode in his head, his eyes were red, "This stupid guy! A fool who deserves to be cracked! A brute without morals!! Doesn't he know what we are facing now? !"

The attendant trembled and said: "We have no food, and we can't resist the enemy at all."

Dmitry fell silent suddenly, and he looked at the knights in the distance.

He simply dropped the spear in his hand.

"Don't act rashly!!!"

He said loudly, took his attendants, and galloped towards the direction of the emperor.

Liu Changdu had already drawn the strong bow in his hand and pointed it at the general who was charging towards him, but when he saw that the man didn't have any weapons in his hand, he still put down the strong bow hesitantly.

"I am the king of Bactria! I am willing to surrender!!!"

Liu Chang looked angrily at Dmitry who was tied up by Wuhuada in front of him. Naigong's strong bow was pulled away. Are you telling me to surrender now?
You think it's fun to play with me, don't you? ?

Naturally, Dmitry felt the emperor's anger, and he hurriedly explained: "Please forgive my disrespect. I think you will understand me. As a king, fighting to die is the best choice. However, when I choose to fight for the kingdom And when they died in battle, there were some shameless and despicable guys. They launched an attack, killed the general I stayed behind, and usurped the throne. I absolutely don’t want to fight and die for such people!!”

After their explanation, Liu Changfang understood his current situation.

Liu Chang also despised that minister's behavior.

Although it is an enemy, it is too shameless to launch a rebellion in the royal city when the king leads the army to resist foreign enemies.

No wonder this person voted directly.

"Who is he to you?"

"They all came from Seleucus."

"Seleucus was terminated by the Parthians. They fled everywhere. I received them and gave them territory so that they could survive. These people began to accept the exiles of Seleucus in their own territory. More and more, more and more powerful, I did not expect that they would treat my respected Majesty the Emperor like this, I am willing to be your governor, and govern Batkelia for you, but I hope you can give me time to Suppress this shameless rebellion!!"
