Chapter 2960 Darius: Cut down this forest for me

Chapter 2957 Darius: Cut down this forest for me

When Xuanzang and his disciples were traveling through the Seljuq Empire, a local noble wanted to force Xuanzang and Ao Lie to be their male favorites. Ao Lie was so angry that he beat each other. As a result, he beat the younger one and attracted the older one.

After a bit of a chicken-and-duck argument, the two sides still started fighting.

Originally, it was just a conflict. Master Xuanzang and his disciples were not easy to kill. They could only give each other a lesson. However, the Seljuk nobles relied on their power and mobilized the city defense army to surround and kill Xuanzang master and disciples. This operation The nature will naturally change.

Facing the regular army, Xuanzang's master and disciples did not dare to rely on them. After a great battle, they killed many masters and broke out. As a result, they were wanted by the entire Seljuk Empire.

In the end, the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang relied on their strength and took advantage of the opponent's army's failure to respond in time. They fought **** battles for thousands of miles and forcibly penetrated the entire Seljuk Empire, almost stepping on the dignity of the Seljuk Empire and entering the Ottoman Kingdom.

This battle was also the most intense battle that the five masters and disciples had experienced since they arrived in Central Asia. Except for Xuanzang and Sun Lingming, the other three suffered varying degrees of injuries.

The situation in the Ottoman Kingdom is much better. After all, the great fame that Xuanzang's master and apprentice gained in Seljuk has also spread to the Ottoman Empire.

King Osman looked at the other party's power and the face of the Qin Dynasty. Although he warmly entertained Xuanzang's master and disciples, he did not like Xuanzang's identity as a Buddhist disciple. In order to prove that arcana was more advanced than Buddhism, King Osman had a fight with Xuanzang. Had a debate.

Xuanzang was very eloquent, and what he enjoyed most was debating scriptures with others. King Osman took the initiative to send him to his door, so he naturally wanted it.

After a debate, the Ottoman king was defeated, but he was still unconvinced, so he asked other sages to debate Xuanzang. So wherever Xuanzang went in the Ottomans, a large number of sages from the Occult religion would come to challenge him. This took a lot of time.

The five masters and apprentices left the Ottoman Empire without any danger, and after entering the territory of the Persian Empire in Central Asia, they were warmly entertained by the Persian Emperor Darius. The reason was naturally due to the commotion they made in Seljuk. Indirectly helping Persia, but the purpose of entertaining them by this peerless hero was obviously not pure.

At the first sight of Darius, Xuanzang instinctively felt that this man was not a simple man. After learning about his deeds, he became deeply in awe of this man.

Darius relied on splitting Rome, first based on the three provinces of Eastern Europe, and after defeating the Parthian invading army, he used it to support the internal strife in the Parthian royal family, support the emperor, and forcibly jumped to Parthia.

Later, by manipulating power, the Parthian people were in dire straits and the world was in chaos. However, Darius instead took up the banner of bringing order to the chaos and led an army to attack the rebels.

Finally, after the unification was completed, Darius usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, re-establishing the Persian Empire.

When they saw this, Master Xuanzang and his disciples were also shocked. Isn't this the resting version of Dong Zhuo? The difference is that Dong Zhuo failed, but Darius succeeded.

After the fall of Parthia, Darius's ambitions 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 at this time was a quagmire. Heroes such as Alexander, Napoleon, and Leonidas were rising up one after another to separate themselves. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a fight between gods.

As for Rome, although it was declining like the Great Han Dynasty, it still had outstanding painters such as Severus, Caesar, Octavian, and Antony to continue its life.

Therefore, it is easy to get into the quagmire of Europe, but it is difficult to get out.

Alexander, who was the first to oppose Rome, greatly expanded his territory after the Macedonian War of Independence, but now he is also in a situation of weak successors and has been unable to further expand his power.

After Darius destroyed the Parthian Empire, although his family was still rich, he did not want to fall into endless consumption. The water in Europe was too deep, and he was not sure of defeating any of the powerful enemies, so he might as well go to West Asia and squeeze the soft persimmons. .

Darius chose to jump 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 reached Central Asia, making Persia a three-pronged region spanning Eastern Europe, West Asia, and Central Asia, with a population of There is a powerful force of 15 million.

To put it bluntly, even if Persia is placed in Europe, it is now the second largest power after Rome. However, it is also weak because the front is too long, and it takes a long time to digest the results of the battle before it can continue to expand. .

The reason why Xuanzang's master and disciples were able to meet Darius in Central Asia was because the Ottomans, Seljuks, and Samanids were planning to take advantage of Persia's unstable foundation in Central Asia and plan to form a coalition army to jointly attack Persia, so Darius Scholars will rush to Central Asia in person, hoping to catch the Ottomans and Seljuks off guard.

But what Darius didn't expect was that the Seljuk Empire's troop dispatch plan was disrupted by the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang.

The Seljuk Empire wanted to get rid of Xuanzang's master and disciples, but they failed. Not only did they not succeed, but they also killed many generals, and even a marshal was beaten to death by Sun Lingming. This is also This caused the Serbian troops along the way to fall into a chaotic situation without a command, and they had to stop the expedition plan, and Xuanzang's master and apprentice also indirectly helped Persia.

Darius was naturally grateful to Xuanzang's master and apprentice. After all, he was not 100% sure when facing the attack of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, but he still wanted to subdue these five people. This was a great supplement. The lack of high-end Persian combat power.

Why did Darius dare not intervene in Europe? The main reason is that he does not have top-notch combat power under his command.

Rome had Hercules and Cleitas, Macedonia had Alexander and Achilles, France had Ares, what did he have in Persia? There is no one who can even fight these fierce warriors for a hundred rounds.

The serious lack of top combat power is the biggest factor in Persia's lack of foundation.

Darius has always been exploring talents, but before Anxi was completely digested, the original talents of Anxi were unwilling to join him. All he could rely on was the talent echelon from the three provinces of Eastern Europe, but the number of talents in these three provinces could not compete with him. It would be good to maintain dominance in West and Central Asia, but how could they have top-notch combat power?

Therefore, Darius has been making great efforts to poach people from Europe, and the captured Spartacus is one of his targets. However, it is a pity that Spartacus ended up in the East by accident. . Just missing Spartacus had already made Darius sigh and regret for a long time. Now that he saw the more powerful Sun Lingming, he naturally couldn't miss it again.

Although Darius wanted to conquer the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang, headed by Sun Lingming, he also knew that the more capable talents were, the harder it was to recruit them, so he was very patient and focused on being a polite and virtuous corporal in order to influence the five people. .

It happened that Darius was about to return to West Asia, so he went with Xuanzang's master and apprentice. From time to time, he would entertain Xuanzang's master and apprentice, and chat with them on the grounds that he wanted to know about the East. While building a good relationship, he could also obtain information.

After several days of communication, Darius had a basic understanding of the five masters and apprentices, and learned that their destination was Mount Olympus.

Although I don’t know what Xuanzang’s master and apprentice are going to Mount Olympus, the journey must pass through West Asia and Eastern Europe, so Darius has plenty of time to subdue the five masters and apprentices.

As his understanding of the five masters and apprentices deepened, Darius discovered that the five masters and apprentices were all great talents. His master Xuanzang was the prime minister, Zhu Tianpeng and Shajuanlian were the marshals, and Sun Lingming and Ao Lie were the talents of the marshal. He is a fierce general, but at the same time he also understands that none of these five people can be loyal to Persia.

The status of the five people before they became monks was not ordinary, but they were able to give up fame, wealth, glory, and wealth, but besides these, I could not give them anything else.

Although Darius wanted the five people to stay and assist him, but he wanted to make it impossible for them to sincerely submit, so the only way he could think of was to seize the handle and use it to blackmail them, so that they could be controlled by him and obedient.

Master Xuanzang was the leader among the five masters and disciples, so Darius wanted to imprison Xuanzang to force the four disciples to submit. However, he had tried his best to overestimate Xuanzang, but he did not expect that in the end he underestimated Xuanzang.

The poison was defused, but the Grand Master was dispatched but was defeated again...

It was only then that Darius realized that among the five masters and disciples, Xuanzang was the one with the highest level. The key was that he was not an ordinary great master.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

If conspiracies and tricks don't work, then you can only resort to force.

After Xuanzang's master and disciples escaped more than a dozen pursuits, they all realized that they could not go on like this. It was still two thousand miles away from West Asia to Eastern Europe, but all along the way were the territories of the Persian Empire.

Although they were not afraid of Darius' pursuit, it was difficult for them to replenish supplies, and they were heading west while evading pursuit. The efficiency of their journey was really too slow. At this rate, it would probably take them two or three years to reach Eastern Europe.

Therefore, after some discussion, the five masters and disciples of Xuanzang decided to take a detour and go directly north, making a big circle into Eastern Europe. Although the distance was longer, without the pursuit of Persia, the speed would be slower. Faster.

Darius's pursuers were able to pinpoint Xuanzang's position because they knew their target was to the west. But now Xuanzang had turned around and headed north. It was naturally impossible for them to find anyone who had lost their target.

By the time they reacted, it was obviously too late. It was too late to mobilize the army, and only a small group of elites could not leave five people.

What Xuanzang didn't expect was that just when they had fled to the border and were about to escape from Persia, Darius actually came up with more than a hundred guards.

"Master Xuanzang, please wait a moment, I'm here to see you off."

Darius shouted while galloping on his horse. When Xuanzang heard this, he saw that there were only about a hundred people coming from the other side. Although there was a great master guarding them, they 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, and seeing that the master had great talents, I wanted to force the master to assist me. But I definitely have no ill intentions..."

Before Darius could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xuanzang.

"Amitabha, I know your Majesty's intentions, but the melon that you force yourself to be sweet will never taste sweet after all. Please don't force me to stay as your master and disciple again."

"No, I came here this time. Firstly, I want to apologize to the mage, and secondly, I want to give the mage a gift. These expenses and materials should be regarded as my apology gifts."

Darius initially wanted to conquer Sun Lingming, but after getting in touch with him, he liked Xuanzang more. His analysis of the current situation in Persia and his various views on how to govern the country in the future gave him great inspiration.

But after realizing that he was destined not to keep Xuanzang, Darius didn't want Xuanzang to have a bad image whenever he thought of him in the future, so he came to apologize in person.

Xuanzang didn't even look at the gold, silver and jewels. He clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "The poor monk will keep the food. Let's forget about the expense."

In this regard, Darius naturally would not force it, but asked two soldiers to carry a long spear.

"Three of the four apprentices of the mage have magic weapons in their hands. Only the little brother Ao Lie has an ordinary weapon, and this Chubai spear is my Persian treasure. It is said to be the flower of Emperor Anxi's Silk Bag. I bought it with a lot of money from the Han Dynasty caravan, and now I will give it to brother Ao Lie as an apology."

Xuanzang naturally didn't want to accept it, but when he saw Ao Lie's eyes shining brightly and staring at the spear intently, he immediately sighed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It's getting late, and the monks and disciples have to go on their way. That's it." Don’t pass.”

Seeing the figures of Xuanzang's five masters and disciples gradually disappearing into the woods ahead, Darius's eyes were full of reluctance, and then he ordered in a solemn voice: "Chop down all these woods for me."

"Why, Your Majesty?"

"It prevented me from seeing Master Xuanzang's back clearly and blocked my view."
