After taking sadika, Zhang Xiu did not meet the rest of the Kushan nobles, but took the rest of them into custody. Then, Zhang Xiu arranged an army to sweep the troops around the mountain forest.
For Zhang Xiu, this is a very simple thing.
Before that, Zhang Xiu led his troops to the south of Motianling. When he met the guishuang army at the foot of the mountain, he won the battle. Now it's even easier to sweep away some of the disabled and defeated generals near the mountain forest.
After a day's delay, Zhang Xiu finished cleaning up. After a night's rest, she led her army south in the morning of the next day.
This time, it's going straight to Peshawar.
When the army led by Zhang Xiu headed for Peshawar City, the news of the war situation in the area of Motianling had already spread. News of Indra's death, sadika's capture and the defeat of 600000 troops has been sent back to Peshawar.
The whole city of Peshawar was in a state of panic.
600000 troops.
That's not a small number.
600000 troops were defeated, so the whole people of Peshawar were in fear. But when the people are scared, their hearts are looking forward to it, because for the people, they hope that Daqin will come soon.
Because when the Qin army arrived, the caste system would be abolished. The abolition of caste system is good for thousands of people, but it is not good news for the noble of Kushan.
But now there are few aristocrats in Peshawar.
After all, the main principal, in fact, went to the north, all by Zhang Xiu. So now many nobles in Peshawar are more like headless flies.
On this day, all the nobles gathered in the house of the sadika family.
Although sadika is not there, there is also sadika's eldest son, weias, in sadika's family. Weias was in his prime of life, and very capable.
He sat on the throne.
Below, there are people from different families.
Weias said in a deep voice: "you guys, now the front line is defeated. Tell me what we should do now. Now, we have to come up with a plan. Otherwise, Daqin's army will soon reach Peshawar. Now there are few people in Peshawar. If we are not ready, we will have to sit and wait to die. "
When they heard the words, they all looked alarmed.
All worried about their situation.
If the troops of the Qin Dynasty went south only to destroy Kushan, but not to the nobles of Kushan, then these nobles must have become the leading Party and surrendered.
The problem is that Daqin wanted to destroy all the nobles.
This makes the two sides naturally antagonistic.
Even though these Brahman nobles and the nobles of other castes are too weak to resist, they still have to fight to the end, otherwise they will be destroyed.
"Mr. weias, but with our strength, we can't stop the soldiers of Qin. You know, the army of the Qin Dynasty has come down to the south to fight. With our strength, we can't carry it! "
In the hall, a fat middle-aged man spoke.
The middle-aged man continued: "Zhang Xiu has destroyed our 600000 troops, and now she is heading south with a great victory. Even sadika, the father of Prince weias, fell into the hands of the Qin people. How can we resist? "
The rest echoed.
All of them are sad, because for them, they are in a desperate situation.
To resist, but not to stop.
If you want to surrender, you can't keep your wealth.
That's what's embarrassing.
Weiyasi coughed twice, and the scene suddenly quieted down. Everyone's eyes fell on weiyasi. Weiyasi said in a deep voice: "although my father is in the hands of the Qin army, I can't manage so much for the sake of my family, even if it involves my father's life, because if I want to take care of my father's safety, I can't take care of my family."
"Ladies and gentlemen, who doesn't know that Zhang Xiu can't be stopped?"
"Everybody knows."
"But if we don't resist, there will be nothing. Of course, you can also escape Peshawar. The question is, where can you escape from Peshawar? "
"The city of mogatuo in the south?"
Weias said in a deep voice: "however, after the great Qin came and took Peshawar City, the southern city of mogatuo and other places were also not peaceful and difficult to avoid. Therefore, today's Kushan has no peace and pure land. Now, there is only one war! "
After hearing this, they finally agreed.
They also know that they have no choice.
After all, there is no way out.
Weias said in a deep voice, "everyone, please return immediately and mobilize your own troops. I immediately went to lobby today's city guard. I expect that he will be on our side. After all, kuotar, the great general of the city, is also of noble origin. "
"Yes
And when they were commanded, they all arose and departed.
Even the major families have given too much power before, but now they don't have much power. But now they are biting their teeth, and they have to continue to hold on. Even if they are selling iron, they have to continue to donate their troops to ensure that they can resist the attack of the Qin army. Otherwise, their families will be confiscated, and even themselves will be disposed of.So there is no choice.
After the crowd left, weias changed his clothes and began to run to the tower.
He went to the castle to visit koutar.
After all, if we want to defend the city, we need kuotar's support. If even kuotar doesn't agree with us. Well, it's almost impossible to keep Peshawar.
When weias arrived at the north gate of Peshawar, he went straight up to the tower and saw kuotar on the tower.
He didn't beat around the Bush and said straight to the point: "Lord kuotar, I'm here to discuss how to deal with the Qin army. I have summoned the nobles of Peshawar to mobilize their forces again. "
After a pause, weias continued: "as long as there are enough troops and the strength of Peshawar, it will not be difficult to block the Qin army. Our task is not to defeat the Qin army, but to defend the city of Peshawar. What do you think? "
Kuotal was also a noble himself.
He didn't want to lose his power.
Therefore, kuotar directly chose to agree and said in a deep voice: "Mr. weiyasi, it's no problem to resist the Qin army. But how much power is there? If we are short of troops, we have to resist, that is to watch the moon in the water. Therefore, to resist the army of the Qin Dynasty, we must have enough strength. "
Weias said in a deep voice, "please don't worry about that. In terms of military strength, I have organized enough forces. Because in today's situation, the major families still say that even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they have to block the army of Daqin. So you don't have to worry about being unstoppable. We have enough strength to resist the Qin army. "
"That's good, that's good!"
As soon as kuotal heard it, he immediately relaxed.
He is a veteran on the battlefield and is good at fighting. But in this battle, he stayed to guard Peshawar. He defended the city of Peshawar, and with the help of its fortifications, he was able to withstand hundreds of thousands of the Qin army.
This is kuotar's strength.
It's also the strength of the defensive side.
Kuotal thought for a moment, with a worried look on his face, and asked, "Mr. weias, according to the news from the front line. Your father, Lord sadika, has been captured by the Qin army. When Daqin's army comes to kill you, they will come to Peshawar. If Daqin Zhang Xiu threatens you with sadika, what will you do then? "
Weias said: "all for the family!"
In a word, weias has made his attitude clear. In front of the family, even if sadika was his father, he would not change his decision to resist Daqin.
On hearing this, kuotal thumbed up and said, "Mr. weias said it well. Since Mr. weias has said it, I will not say more. In a word, resist to the end. "
"Resist to the end!"
Weias spoke with a loud voice.
At that moment, weias left, because he wanted to mobilize all the forces, gather all the private soldiers of the family together, and then bring them to the north of Peshawar City, and give them to kuotar to resist.
