Wulei city is located in the west of the western regions.
It used to be the city of Da Yueshi, but after the rise of Kushan, it was conquered by Kushan and became the city of Kushan. Now the Lord of Wulei city is called Jimu. This man has black hair and yellow skin. It is said that his ancestors came from the Central Plains. However, Ji Mu knows that he has lived in Wulei city since his great grandfather.
In Ji Mu's generation, Ji Mu made many contributions on the battlefield, and finally became the Lord of Wulei city and the vassal of Kushan kingdom.
But now Ji Mu has a sad face.
Because the kusana is already in the wind and rain.
Especially at the end of last year, when the news of the death of visudiva came back, the whole Kushan fell into a cloud of sorrow. Even in Kushan, a lot of people rose up, so that there was a lot of gunfire in the country, and there were troublemakers everywhere. Fortunately, under Ji Mu's administration, Wulei city is still peaceful and there is no disturbance.
The Lord's mansion.
Ji Mu, in his early 30s, is in charge of government affairs.
He has shoulder length black hair, draped behind his back, and a pair of beard under his jaw. He looks rough and domineering. His bright eyes are shining with wisdom.
But Ji Mu's eyes were full of worries.
Because according to the information just sent back by the sentinel, the Qin army, which had been stationed in Congling, finally set out to fight in guishuang after the Spring Festival. The border of Wulei city borders Congling. Once the Qin army comes, it will enter Wulei city first.
So Ji Mu is very worried.
"Dong! Dong
At this time, there was a knock outside the study.
Ji Mu said, "come in!"
With the door creaking, the servant came in, bowed to Ji Mu and said, "Lord of the city, kujiula, the prince of Kushan royal family, went outside the Lord's mansion and asked to see him."
"Please
Ji Mu said.
He also stood up, changed his formal robes, and went to the hall. Just after Ji Mu arrived in the hall, kujiula, the prince of Kushan, followed him into the hall.
Kujiula was in his early twenties. He was tall and strong with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was very brave. In particular, the palms of kujiula's hands are full of cocoons. At first glance, they are people who practice martial arts all the year round.
After kujiula stood still, he saluted and said, "boy kujiula, I've met the Lord of the city."
Ji Mu said: "Prince kujiula, please sit down!"
"Thank you very much."
Kujiula lifted his robe and sat down in the hall.
Ji Mu asked directly: "Prince kujiula should be in Peshawar city. Now, how did he suddenly arrive at Wulei city?"
Kujiula said: "to tell you the truth, when I was in the Imperial City, I heard the news that the great emperor had been killed. I was worried about the situation, so after dealing with the domestic affairs, I went straight north to Wulei city."
"Especially when I entered the territory of Wulei City, I got a message from the sentinel at the front line that the troops of the Qin Dynasty were going to enter the territory of Kushan, that is, Wulei City, as they moved westward from Congling."
"It's a matter of great importance."
"If we don't deal with it properly, I'm afraid no thunder city will be in danger."
"Lord, Wulei city is the first line of defense in the northeast of Kushan Kingdom and the strongest barrier. So the battle of no thunder city is very important. Once defeated, I'm afraid Kushan will be defeated. "
Kujiula said: "Lord, I'm here for this. I hope I can get the support of the Lord."
"Ha ha ha..."
After hearing this, Ji Mu burst out laughing.
The laughter was full of banter.
This kind of laughter made kujiula a little embarrassed and at a loss for a moment. Even so, kujiula did not show timidity, and still sat down.
Ji Mu no longer laughs, but he doesn't speak. He just looks at kujiula. That deep and sharp eyes, as if to see through kujiula's heart, make kujiula inexplicable guilty.
Jimu didn't speak, neither did kujiula.
For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward.
It seems that the air in the hall is stagnant at this time.
Ji Mu was indifferent, but kujiula was sitting upright. Sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, his heart was unstable, and his breathing was disordered. After a long time, kujiula gave a sad smile.
He was completely convinced of Ji Mu.
It's an old fox.
Kujiula said: "to tell you the truth, when I went north to Wulei City, I didn't want to resist the army of the Qin Dynasty. In fact, in the Imperial City, the people of the Kushan royal family fought against each other and fought for power and profit. After all, I have no power, no power, no foundation, so I left Peshawar and chose to go north to Wulei City, hoping to get the support of the city master. "
Ji Mu said with a light smile: "Prince kujiula, I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Indeed
Kujiula continued: "in addition, my deeper thought is that with the help of Jimu city master, I hope to go down from Wulei city to wipe out Kushan and reorganize the world. They want to fight for power and profit in Peshawar, while I leave Peshawar to seek opportunities outside. Cannibalism is no skill. It's better to have a foothold outside. This is my hidden idea. "Ji Mu sighed and said, "it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Kujiula said, "what a pity."
Ji Mu said: "unfortunately, it's almost impossible for you to go down from Wulei city. Because today's no thunder city is about to fall into the flames of war. You all know that if the Qin army wants to enter the territory of Wulei City, they will know that today's Wulei city is in imminent danger and is already in turmoil. "
Kujiula said: "the Lord of Jimu is a veteran in the battlefield. It's no stranger to fighting. In my opinion, the defeated wujiutu, modi and others are not rivals of Jimu. There is Ji Mu in Wulei city. Even if the army of the Qin Dynasty is strong, it will surely win. "
Ji Mu shook his head and said, "kujiula is praising me falsely under the guise. I can't be such a praise. I'm just a city master. In particular, we have no more than 30000 troops in Wulei city. Such a force, in front of Daqin's army, is just like a mole ant. It will be directly crushed. "
Kujiula shook his head and said, "Jimu is modest. As far as I know, Jimu has 30000 troops on the surface. However, there are still various kinds of soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers who are only responsible for maintenance, all of whom are 23000. According to my guess, there are at least 50000 or 60000 City masters. Such a force is by no means without combat effectiveness. "
Ji Mu stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that Prince kujiula knew so much about my Wulei city."
Kujiula said: "the ability of Jimu is obvious to all. It's normal for me to pay more attention. So, Lord Ji Mu, please don't be modest. I believe that with your strength, you can block the front of Daqin's army. "
"Newspaper!"
Just then, another soldier rushed in.
The soldier entered the hall and said, "Lord, the latest news is coming back from the front line. Please have a look."
With that, the soldier handed in the war report.
Ji Mu receives the battle report, waves his hand to let the soldiers step down and quickly dismantle it for inspection. When he saw it, his face was suddenly gloomy, and his eyes were cold and fierce.
Kujiula said, "Lord, but what important news do you have?"
"It's really important!"
Ji Mu said in a deep voice: "but it's not about the Qin army. It's about the decline of Karki. Thirty thousand Kushan elites took Seneca as their military adviser. Now they have crossed the Congling mountains and entered the territory of Wulei city. They are going to kill us in Wulei city."
"Damn it, this damn galky."
As soon as kujiula heard Ji Mu's words, he became angry.
Last year, the news came back that Vasudeva died in the hands of galchi, and then surrendered to Daqin with Seneca.
Now, as pioneers, these two people are killing first.
Damn it.
Kujiula clenched his teeth and said: "Jimu city master, this galky dares to lead 30000 Kushan troops to kill back. He is really looking for death. In my opinion, we should take the initiative to destroy the 30000 troops of chalky. This force is not strong. If we kill garji first, it's equivalent to giving Zhang Xiu a head and a stick, and giving him a downfall. "
Ji Mu shook his head and said, "no, no! Perhaps the intention of the Qin army was to let us take the initiative. Once Lei has left Daping, it will be our rootless city. On the battlefield, once we meet the officers and men of the Qin Dynasty, our 50000 or 60000 elite, we can't even turn over the flowers and water. Therefore, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to attack. This may be the other side's plan to lure the enemy. "
Kujiula calmed down when he heard the speech.
He thought it over carefully, but it's possible. If the Qin army really wants to lure them to fight, once they leave Wulei City, even if Ji Mu is powerful, they can't defeat the Qin army, and in turn they will be defeated by the Qin army.
It's a big gap between strengths.
There is no doubt.
Kujiula asked: "Lord Jimu, now the enemy has come, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Jimu said, "garji and Seneca join hands. Both garji and Seneca have their own cities. It's not easy for us to deal with the obedience of Seneca. After all, Seneca is very resourceful. "
"But it's not necessarily that chalky can't be seduced. In particular, I know garji, because he used to go out of the city of no thunder. "
"He is an ambitious man."
"For the sake of power, he will do whatever it takes to climb up."
"In fact, that's why the emperor was defeated and killed. Now that he has been subordinated to the great Qin Dynasty, he may not be able to get such a good official position with his disposition to kill the great emperor. "
Ji Mu's eyes twinkled with wisdom, and said: "in my opinion, we will arrange people to go and win over galchi in the name of Prince kujiula, and let galchi turn over."
Kujiula said, "Lord Jimu, what if I go to lobby myself?"
Ji Mu's brow rose when he heard it.
He was surprised.
I didn't expect that kujiula had the courage to lobby in person.Ji Mu said in a deep voice: "Prince kujiula, is your words true? You should know that if you go to lobby for garji, you may be killed by garji and ask for credit in front of the emperor of Qin. "
Kujiula said: "I know the risks, but I'm just an insignificant prince, not worth mentioning. But if I go to lobby in person, kujiula will think that he is valued, and he will be able to submit to us again. It's the only choice for Wulei city to be able to stand tall. "
Ji Mu's eyes also flashed a light. He admired kujiula's courage and said in a voice: "if Prince kujiula can successfully lobby garji, when Prince kujiula returns, I have no thunder city and am willing to be loyal to Prince kujiula."
Kujiula had a smile on his face.
The reason why he wanted to go in person was to convince Ji Mu.
It turns out that he made the right choice.
This move is a very dangerous way, but once it is successful, the harvest is huge. Kujiula was born in an ordinary family and had no power in the court. If he wanted to rise, he needed Jimu's support.
It's his only choice.
