Chapter 2960 Darius: Cut down this forest
Chapter 2957 Darius: Cut down this forest
When the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang passed through the Seljuk Empire, a local noble wanted to force Xuanzang and Ao Lie to become male favors. Ao Lie beat the other party in anger, but the younger one attracted the old one.
After a debate between chickens and ducks, the two sides fought hard.
It was just a conflict, and Master Xuanzang and his disciples were not easy to kill. At most, it would be fine to teach the other party a lesson, but the Seljuk nobles relied on their power to mobilize the city defense army to siege and kill Master Xuanzang and his disciples. The nature naturally changed after this operation.
Faced with the regular army, Master Xuanzang and his disciples did not dare to be entrusted. After a great war, they killed many masters and broke through, which was why the entire Seljuk Empire wanted.
In the end, the five masters and apprentices of Xuanzang, relying on their strength, took advantage of the untimely response of the other army, and fought **** battles for thousands of miles, forcibly killing the entire Seljuk Empire, and almost entered the Ottoman Kingdom under the dignity of the Seljuk Empire.
This battle was also the most intense battle that the five masters and apprentices experienced after they were in Central Asia. Except for Xuanzang and Sun Lingming, the other three were injured to varying degrees.
The situation in the Ottoman Kingdom was much better. After all, the great reputation of Master Xuanzang and his disciples in Seljuk had also been passed to the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman King warmly entertained Master and disciples of Xuanzang for his power and the face of the Qin Dynasty, but he did not like the identity of Xuanzang’s Buddhist disciples. In order to prove that Austria is more advanced than Buddhism, the Ottoman King and Xuanzang had a debate.
Xuanzang was very eloquent and his favorite thing was to argue with others. The Ottoman King took the initiative to come to him, so he naturally couldn''t ask for it.
After a debate, the Ottoman King was defeated, but he was not convinced, so he asked other sages to debate with Xuanzang. So whenever Xuanzang arrived in the Ottoman, a large number of sages of the Aocratic Church came to challenge him, which also delayed a lot of time.
The five masters and apprentices left the Ottoman Empire without any danger and entered the Persian Empire''s territory in Central Asia, and were warmly entertained by the Persian emperor Darius. The reason was naturally that they indirectly helped Persia with a big fuss in Seljuk, but the purpose of this peerless hero treating them was obviously not pure.
When Xuanzang saw Darius for the first time, he instinctively felt that this person was not simple, and after learning about his deeds, he developed a deep awe of this person.
Darius relied on splitting Rome, first taking the three Eastern European provinces as the basic foundation. After defeating the Invading Army, he used his Insurgent Royal Family to support the Son Emperor and forced his job to Son Emperor.
Later, by supporting and fiddling with power, the people were living in poverty and the world was in chaos. However, Darius instead raised the banner of setting things right and led his army to attack the rebellious officials.
In the end, after completing the unification, Darius usurped the throne and re-established the Persian Empire.
When he saw this, Master Xuanzang was shocked. Isn’t this the rest version of Dong Zhuo? The difference is that Dong Zhuo failed, while Darius succeeded.
After the fall of the Sabre, Darius'' ambition did not end there. He rationally did not interfere in Europe, but instead led his army to expand eastward.
Facts have proved that Darius''s choice was extremely correct. Europe was a quagmire at this time. Heroes such as Alexander, Napoleon, and Leonida rose and dominated the country. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a fight between gods.
As for Rome, although it was as weak as the Han Dynasty, there were still Severus, Caesar, Octavian, Anthony and others as papermakers to prosper their lives.
Therefore, it is easy to get into the quagmire of Europe, but it is difficult to think of it.
Alexander, who was the first to anti-Roman, expanded his territory after the Macedonian War of Independence, but now he is in a state of lack of succession and has been unable to further expand his power.
After Darius destroyed the Rest Empire, his family was still rich, but he didn''t want to fall into endless consumption. The water in Europe was too deep, and he was not sure about solving any of those strong enemies, so it would be better to go to West Asia to squeeze soft persimmons.
Darius chose to break out of the European quagmire and point his sword at West Asia. This move not only allowed him to capture most of West Asia, but also attacked the Central Asian region, making Persia a powerful force spanning Eastern Europe, West Asia and Central Asia, with a population of 15 million.
To be honest, even if Persia is in Europe, it is the second largest force after Rome, but it is also weak due to the long front line, and it takes a long time to digest the results before it can continue to expand.
The reason why Master Xuanzang and his disciples were able to meet Darius in Central Asia was because the Ottoman, Seljuk and Saman were preparing to take advantage of the unstable foundation of Persia in Central Asia and planned to form a joint army to jointly attack Persia. That was why Darius personally rushed to Central Asia and caught one of the Ottoman and Seljuks off guard.
But what Darius did not expect was that the Seljuk Empire''s plan to send troops was disrupted by the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang.
The Seljuk Empire wanted to get rid of Master Xuanzang and his disciples, but he failed to steal the chicken and lost a lot of rice. Not only did he fail, he was also killed by many generals. There was even a marshal who was beaten to death by Sun Lingming. This also caused the Serbian army to fall into a chaotic situation of no-man command, so he had to stop the expedition plan, and Master Xuanzang and his disciples indirectly helped Persia.
Darius was naturally grateful to Master Xuanzang and his disciples? After all, he was not 100% sure in the face of the attack of the Three Kingdoms coalition, but he still wanted to subdue these five people, which greatly filled the lack of high-end combat power in Persia.
Why didn’t Darius dare to intervene in Europe? The main reason is that the army does not have top combat power.
Rome has Hercules and Cretas, Macedonia has Alexander and Achilles, France has Ares, what else does his Persia have? There is not even anyone who can fight these fierce generals for a hundred rounds.
The serious lack of top combat power is the biggest factor in Persia''s lack of foundation.
Darius has been discovering talents, but before Anxi completely digested, the talents who were originally Anxi were unwilling to surrender to him. All he could rely on was the talent echelon of the three eastern European provinces. However, the number of talents in the three provinces was good enough to maintain the rule of West Asia and Central Asia. How could he have top combat power?
Therefore, Darius has been spending a lot of effort to poach people from Europe, and the captured Spartacus was one of his goals, but unfortunately, Spartacus accidentally fell to the East.
The missed encounter with Spartacus had already made Darius sigh and regret for a long time. Now that he saw Sun Lingming, who is stronger, he naturally could not miss it again. Although Darius wanted to subdue the five masters and apprentices of Xuanzang, led by Sun Lingming, he also knew that the stronger the ability, the harder it was to recruit talents, so he was very patient, and his main focus was a polite and wise man, who wanted to use this to influence the five people.
It just so happened that Darius was going back to West Asia, so he walked along the way with Master Xuanzang and his disciples. From time to time, he would invite Master Xuanzang and his disciples to chat with him on the grounds of wanting to understand the East, and he could also get information while establishing a good relationship.
After several days of exchange, Darius had a basic understanding of the five masters and apprentices and learned that the destination of the five was Mount Olympus.
Although I don’t know what Master Xuanzang and his disciples went to Mount Olympus, they must go through West Asia and Eastern Europe along the way, so Darius has time to subdue the five masters and disciples.
As his understanding of the five masters and apprentices deepened, Darius discovered that the five masters and apprentices were all great talents, master Xuanzang was the prime minister, Zhu Tianpeng and Shaluanqian were the marshals, while Sun Lingming and Ao Lie were the marshals, but at the same time he also understood that neither these five people could be loyal to Persia.
The five people had extraordinary identities before becoming monks, but they were able to give up fame, wealth, glory and wealth, and they could not give them anything other than these.
Although Darius wanted the five people to stay and assist him, he wanted to make it impossible for them to truly surrender. The way he could think of was to seize the handle and use this threat to make him be controlled by himself and be obedient.
Among the five masters and apprentices, Master Xuanzang was the leader, so Darius wanted to imprison Xuanzang and force the four disciples to submit, but he had tried his best to overestimate Xuanzang, but he did not expect that he would underestimate it in the end.
The poison was resolved, and the grandmaster was dispatched but he was defeated again...
It was not until this time that Darius realized that among the five masters and apprentices, Xuanzang was the highest level, and the key was that he was not an ordinary master.
If conspiracy does not work, then you can only be tough.
After evading more than a dozen pursuits, Xuanzang and his disciples realized that they could not go on like this. It was still two thousand miles away from West Asia to Eastern Europe, but along the way were all the territory of the Persian Empire.
Although they were not afraid of Darius'' pursuit, they were difficult to replenish supplies. Moreover, they were traveling west while avoiding the pursuit. The efficiency of traveling was too slow. At this speed, they would probably take two or three years to reach Eastern Europe.
Therefore, after some discussion, the five masters and apprentices of Xuanzang decided to take a detour and go directly north and enter the Eastern European region in a big circle. Although the journey is far, without the pursuit of Persia, the speed of travel will be faster.
Darius''s pursuit was able to lock in Xuanzang''s position because he knew that their goal was to go west, but now Xuanzang turned around and headed north. They naturally couldn''t find anyone who had lost their goal.
After they realized it, it was obviously too late. It was too late to mobilize the army, and only a small group of elites could not keep five people.
What Xuanzang did not expect was that just when they had fled to the border and were about to escape from Persia, Darius came up with more than a hundred guards himself.
"Master Xuanzang, please wait a moment, I am here to give you it."
Darius shouted while galloping on his horse. When Xuanzang heard this, he saw that only more than a hundred people came to the other party. Although there was a guard of a great master, he obviously could not threaten them, so he stopped.
"Master Xuanzang, I did something wrong before. I was worried that Persia would be besieged by neighboring countries. When I saw that the master was full of amazing talents, I wanted to force the master to help me, but I absolutely had no malice..."
Before Darius could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xuanzang.
"Amitabha, I know your Majesty''s heart, but the forced melon is not sweet after all. Please don''t force me to keep my master and disciple."
"No, I''m here this time. First, I apologize to the mage, and second, I want to send the mage. These concessions and supplies are regarded as gifts for my apology."
Darius initially wanted to conquer Sun Lingming, but after contacting him, he liked Xuanzang more. The other party''s analysis of the current situation in Persia and his views on how to govern the country in the future all gave him great inspiration.
But after realizing that he was destined to be unable to keep Xuanzang, Darius didn''t want the other party to think that he was a bad image in the future, so he came over to apologize in person.
Xuanzang didn''t even look at the gold, silver and jewelry. After folding his hands together, he smiled and said, "I''m leaving the food behind, so let''s forget about the money."
Darius naturally would not force himself to do this, but instead let the two soldiers carry a spear.
"Three of the master''s four disciples have magic weapons in hand. Only this little brother Ao Lie is holding ordinary weapons, and this white gun is my Persian treasure. It is said that the Emperor of Anxi Fiber Bag bought it from the Han Dynasty caravan for a lot of money. Now I will give it to the little brother Ao Lie as a gift."
Xuanzang naturally didn''t want to accept it, but when he saw Ao Lie''s eyes shiny and staring at the spear intently, he immediately sighed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. It''s getting late, and I have to rush to the road, so let''s leave."
Looking at the figures of the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang and gradually disappeared into the woods ahead, Darius''s eyes were full of reluctance, and then he ordered a loud voice: "Down with me all this woods."
"Why, Your Majesty?"
"It made me unable to see Master Xuanzang''s back clearly and blocked my view."
