Emperor Xu was resentful of sadika, so when sadika didn't speak, Emperor Xu didn't give up. He turned to Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice, "General Zhao, can you give sadika to me?"
"No way!"
Zhao Yun didn't even think about it and refused.
The emperor's face was stiff.
He thought he had made a great contribution. It should not be difficult for him to ask sadika. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun refused without any hesitation.
Zhao Yun's eyes twinkled with wisdom and said: "emperor Xu, sadika is the king of Kushan. Even though the news of his becoming king never came back to Peshawar. But he is also the king of kusana. In addition, he was the first of all the nobles in Kushan. It needs to be handed over to your majesty. "
"Yes
Emperor Xu nodded.
With a wave of Zhao Yun's hand, the soldiers came forward and directly detained sadika. The rest of the generals in Kushan army were also detained by the soldiers. Everyone, without exception, is under control. Then Zhao Yun arranges the sentinel to return and report the news to Zhang Xiu.
Zhao Yun did not stop and did not act. He separated one thousand white horses and ordered them to encircle the rest of the Kushan soldiers, because there were also Kushan soldiers around the mountain forest.
Time goes by.
In the afternoon and evening, the army led by Zhang Xiu caught up with Zhao Yun from the rear.
After the two sides meet, Zhao Yun brings sadika to Zhang Xiu and says, "Your Majesty, sadika has been captured alive, and the rest of the Kushan generals have also been captured alive. Please your majesty decide what to do with sadika?"
Zhang Xiu looks at sadika in front of her.
Thinking about the solution.
In fact, sadika is of little use to Zhang Xiu. After all, sadika was born into a noble family. Such Brahman nobles are destined to be cleaned up by Zhang Xiu, so it is useless to leave sadika.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu's expression was not right, sadika seemed to deal with him, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I have something to say. Please give me a chance to speak."
"Say it," said Zhang Xiu
Sadika then said, "Your Majesty, sadika is willing to bring his family to Daqin. Moreover, sadika knew that the nobles of Daqin were willing to hand over their land and money, release their slaves, and no longer enjoy the treatment of nobles. He was willing to be an ordinary people of Daqin. Please, your majesty, give sadika a chance. "
After a pause, sadika continued: "besides, I'm useful. I have important news. I'd like to tell the emperor that it must be useful to his majesty."
"Say it!"
Zhang Xiu nodded slightly: "if the information you mentioned is useful and you are willing to repent sincerely, I can consider not killing you and sparing your family's life."
"Yes, yes!"
Sadika was overjoyed.
Here comes the opportunity.
He doesn't want to die.
Especially before, he knew that the emperor needed to arrest him, so sadika's heart was willing to show his value. In this way, we can get Zhang Xiu's praise and save our lives.
Sadika said in a deep voice, "to your majesty, I have three important pieces of news."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu was surprised and said, "Oh, there are three pieces of news. What are these three pieces of news? As long as the news you mentioned is meritorious, I can even consider letting you continue to be an official. "
Thank you, your majesty, for your kindness
Sadika kowtowed his thanks and said slowly, "the first news of the sinner is that the sinner knows that there is a secret road in Peshawar. This secret road can lead from the outside of Peshawar to the inside of Peshawar. "
"Although the army of Kushan was defeated, the nobles of Kushan would not surrender. Because if you surrender, you lose everything. "
"So they will resist."
"Your Majesty, if you want to capture Peshawar, you still have some difficulties. But through the secret Road, your Majesty's army can easily enter the city of Peshawar, cooperate with each other inside and outside, and easily seize the city of Peshawar. "
Sadika said in a deep voice, "this is an opportunity for your majesty to seize Peshawar easily."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes brightened.
It's really an opportunity.
Peshawar is the capital of Kushan. Such a city can not be easily broken. Even if Zhang Xiu went south with a great victory, the nobles of Kushan would certainly unite to resist, knowing that Zhang Xiu wanted to abolish the caste system of Kushan.
So it's not easy to attack Peshawar.
Now, there is a shortcut.
With a smile on her face, Zhang Xiu continued: "your message is very important and useful. I have adopted it. Now, what's your second message? "
Sadika said solemnly, "the second message to your majesty is that the sinner has a gold mine and a silver mine. These two places belong to my sadika family. The sinner is willing to give these two mines to his majesty. "After a pause, sadika continued: "these two mineral deposits are extremely rich. The sadika family has only been mining for two or three years. In these two or three years, the mining is just a drop in the bucket. And mines in many places, which can be mined in the open pit, are really rich mines. "
Zhang Xiu said, "go on!"
For Zhang Xiu, this second piece of news is also excellent.
There are not too many gold and silver mines, and the state needs to reserve enough gold and silver. Only with enough gold and silver can we stabilize prices and ensure the stability of the market.
In fact, the value of gold and silver mines is immeasurable and extremely important.
Sadika said again: "the third piece of news about sinners is about population. Nowadays, the population of Kushan is mainly concentrated in towns. However, as far as I know, there is a tribe about 300 miles south of Peshawar City, which is located in the deep mountains and forests. It has a tribal population of at least 100000. The sinner knows his way and is willing to lead the way for his majesty and help him conquer the tribe and gain a population of 100000. "
In this era, people are resources.
With enough population, there is enough strength.
Because in the era of cold weapons, any war needs to rely on people to build, and it needs to rely on enough soldiers to fight, so enough population is enough resources.
One hundred thousand people, it's very important.
In particular, Kushan lost at least half a million troops in this war, and lost so many people all at once. Kushan also needed to replenish its population. With 100000 people, it is also very valuable for local development.
After sadika finished, he looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "please be kind to your majesty. Sinners are willing to commit crimes."
Zhang xiudao said: "I really say that your news is useful. I'll give you a chance. This time, your three messages are very important and useful. Your life is saved. But in the future, if you have any transgressions, you will not be spared. "
"No, it won't be."
Sadika shook her head and promised.
He knows that this is not the age of Kushan, but the world of Daqin. Now that Daqin is here, he can only behave himself. As long as he can survive, that's good.
Zhang Xiu continued: "I'm looking forward to the third point you mentioned. As long as this point is completed, I said that I would let you be an official, so I will let you be an official
"Thank you, Ron!"
Sadika's heart is even more joyful.
As long as he becomes an official, he has the ability to protect himself and his family's safety.
