Chapter 2751 Shu Luping made precise decisions and Spartacus entered the war

Chapter 2747: Shuluping made precise decisions and Spartacus entered the war

  There is actually a dispute among the top officials of the Persian Empire about whether to hand over Spartacus to Kushan.

 Spartacus killed so many people alone, he was obviously a very strong master, and for a talent of this level, no force would have too much.

If it is collected and used in battle, it will obviously be a great help.

 But after much thought, Darius gave up this plan. After all, at the current stage of Persia's development, Persia no longer relied so much on strong generals, unless it was strong generals of the level of Hercules and Achilles.

 But the thugs in Persia obviously do not have the combat power of Hercules and Achilles, so his greatest value is to appease Kushan.

Darius did not know the true identity of Spartacus. If he had known, he would not have thought so and would not have handed Spartacus to Kushan.

After all, although Spartacus's strength is not top-notch, he is a hero who liberated the slaves and has great prestige among the Roman people. If he can be conquered, he will definitely gain a large number of supporters when he counterattacks Europe in the future. .

 But because he did not know the true identity of Spartacus, Darius voluntarily gave up this precious opportunity.

Persia dispatched a half-step grand master, four master masters, and three thousand cavalry, forcing Spartacus to the sky with no way out and no way to the earth, and then successfully captured Spartacus alive.

After Kushan acquired Spartacus, Emperor Kanishaka originally wanted to conquer Spartacus. After all, the Kushan Empire was also in urgent need of high-end combat power.

The Kushan Empire, which started by squeezing the Parthian living space, had a total population of 12 million before Persia was restored, and its territory spanned two or three major regions: South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia.

 But now there are only 8 million people left in Kushan. All the territories in West Asia have been lost, and a large amount of territory has been lost in Central Asia. The culprit is naturally Persia.

The last emperor of Kushan, Vesutiva I, led an army of 400,000 to the west in order to curb the expansion of Persia in Central Asia. As a result, not only was he defeated by Darius, but he also lost his own life. .

If Kanishaka had not stabilized the situation after being ordered to face the crisis, and joined forces with his old rival Anxi, Egypt and Arabia, and combined the power of the four great empires to defeat Darius, Kushan would probably have been like Anxi. He returned to Tianzhu and was still alive.

It was precisely because Kuishang suffered a big loss at the hands of Persia and could not continue to expand into West Asia, and it was difficult to confront Persia, the new overlord of West Asia, that it turned its spearhead and returned to South Asia, hoping to integrate the major forces in Tianzhu. Come back again to compete with Persia.

 But when Guishang paid attention to Tianzhu again, he found that the loyal servant who had obeyed him now dared to resist him.

Due to the hundreds of alien races, the Tianzhu continent has also become turbulent. The five major overlord forces, sixteen kingdoms, and more than 300 small countries are engaged in extremely brutal annexation wars.

Even the former hegemonic force Kushan is unable to conquer so many forces in a short period of time, and it has a tendency to fall into a quagmire.

 Kanishaka needed generals and fierce generals to conquer Tianzhu for him, so he wanted to conquer Spartacus.

But what Spartacus hated most was the slave trade, and Kushan was a big slave country, so it was naturally impossible for him to submit to Kushan and serve Kanishka.

  Kanishka tried his best but could not make Spartacus surrender. After a long time, he lost his patience, so he wanted to execute him in public.

 But the officials under his command said that it would be a pity to kill him like this, and it would be better to auction him off as a slave, and clan-level slaves must be very valuable.

Kanishaka heard that it made sense. Spartacus had killed many of his people, and it would be too cheap to kill him like this. Now that Kushan is short of money due to the war, it is better to sell him. Back to the book.

Janishekha originally thought that a master-level slave, which was the first slave trade in Kushan, would definitely fetch a good price at the auction house. However, after the actual auction, he found that no one dared to buy it.

 First of all, the price is too high. Ten thousand taels of gold is really too expensive, and not many people can afford it.

Secondly, even the emperor could not convince Spartacus, which is enough to show that this man was unruly, so why spend 10,000 taels of gold to buy him back? As a decoration?

 Finally, the master-level slave is too strong. If he is not completely controlled, he may be killed accidentally. The risk is too great.

It is precisely because of the above three points that no one dares to buy Spartacus, and his auction price has dropped again and again.

 Finally, after being put aside for seven days, Spartacus was bought by a Qiang businessman who unexpectedly recognized him and bought it at a very low price of 5,000 taels of gold.

This is the reason why Spartacus, the leader of the slave rebellion in the West, appeared in the East. The process can be described as extremely tortuous and thrilling.

 Under Shuluping's inquiry, Spartacus briefly told his past and said, "Madam, you spent five thousand gold to sell me. This is a wrong investment."

Keshu Luping said meaningfully: "Oh? I feel that a mere five thousand gold to buy back a master is still a hero who liberated slaves. No matter from any angle, it is not a loss."

“You spent a lot of money to buy me from Kushan. If you just want to exchange the reward from Rome, I advise you to give up this idea.

Even if you can ensure that my body does not rot and take me back, Rome will not be able to abide by the agreement and give you one hundred thousand taels of gold. Instead, it may cost your life.

 As for working for you? I, Spartacus, will never serve another slave master again in my life. "

Spartacus said with an indifferent expression, he hated all slave trade in the world, and just from the point of buying slaves from Shulu Ping, even if he rescued him from Kushan, it would be difficult for him to have a good impression of Shulu Ping. .

“Not only does I not need your allegiance, but I will also give you your freedom, but only if I need a small favor from you.

I, the Qiang people, spent a full five thousand gold to rescue you from Kushan, which can be regarded as a life-saving favor for you. You are not even willing to help me, right? "

 Hearing what Shuluping said, Spartacus was immediately speechless.

It is a fact that the Qiang people rescued him from Kushan. If they were willing to give him his freedom, he would naturally not mind helping Shulu.

But Spartacus is not a child, he will believe whatever Shuluping says.

The Qiang people spent such a huge price to buy him, how could they just ask him to do a small favor?

"What do you want me to do for you? Let me state in advance that I can only do three things for you at most, and it cannot exceed my capabilities."

 Hearing what Spartacus said, Shuluping breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect Spartacus to be so easy to talk to. She didn't waste much time talking and just asked him to give in with a favor. Are all Westerners so repaying kindness?

"The Qiang people are being invaded by a big country in the east. The war between the two sides is at a critical moment. I need you to help the Qiang people win this battle. Then we will be clear. After that, you can go wherever you want." Shu Luping said.

Spartacus frowned: "Madam, I think you may have overestimated me. War is not a matter of one person. No matter how strong my personal strength is, I cannot stop thousands of troops." , cannot reverse the outcome of a war."

“You don’t need to block thousands of troops, just kill as many of the opponent’s generals as possible. As long as all the opponent’s strong generals die, the morale of the army will be damaged, and the coalition forces will naturally defeat them.”

"That's fine, but may I ask, how many troops do the invaders have, and how many troops do you have?"

"The enemy's participating troops are about 80,000 or 90,000, while ours has 200,000 coalition troops." "What?"

Spartacus looked surprised. After all, 200,000 people were fighting against 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers, which was more than double the opponent's strength. With the absolute advantage in strength, was it necessary for him to take action? Isn't this unnecessary?

But then I thought about it, and realized that my 200,000 rebels were also defeated by Caesar's 50,000 Roman troops, and suddenly I understood Shulu Ping a little bit more.

Perhaps the coalition forces Shu Luping mentioned were just like his own rebel army. Although they were large in number, most of them were rabble.

 At the beginning of the rebellion, Spartacus only led 300 gladiators, but he was able to defeat thousands of Roman regular troops.

However, when the team rapidly expanded in size and became more complex, the 200,000 rebels were unable to defeat Caesar's 50,000 Roman troops.

 So, war has never been as simple as relying on numbers to win.

Spartacus also understood this very well when Xuanzang said to him: It is better to have better troops than to be more numerous.

"What does Walter mean? Sorry, I don't understand Roman." Shuluping said.

"nothing."

Spartacus shook his head and said, "Which country is invading your nation?"

"The Great Qin Empire."

 “What?”

Spartacus was stunned again. After much hesitation, he still said truthfully: "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you."

  “Why?”

Shu Luping frowned and asked: "You can fight for a slave you have never met, but why can't you fight for your savior? Is it because you are afraid of the power of the Qin Empire?"

Shu Luping knew that Spartacus was not afraid of the Qin Dynasty. After all, he was not even afraid of Rome, so how could he be afraid of a country thousands of miles away.

Spartacus shook his head and said: "Master Xuanzang of the Qin Dynasty has been very kind to me. How can I go against his mother country?"

Having said that, Spartacus told Shuluping about his encounters with Xuanzang’s master and disciples in Western Asia.

Shu Luping frowned immediately after hearing this. She also did not expect that Spartacus's coming to the East would be due to Xuanzang's master and apprentice who traveled west.

Although Master Xuanzang gave Spartacus a severe lesson, he did not harm him. Instead, he enlightened him and untied his knot in his mind. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had the grace to rebuild. It's no wonder that he doesn't want to be the enemy of Da Qin.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to ask Spartacus to help the Qiang people and become the enemy of the Qin Dynasty in exchange for a favor.

Shuluping even had to worry about whether Spartacus might rebel against him if he really went to the battlefield.

Seeing that Shuluping didn't speak for a while and was just frowning in thought, Spartacus didn't bother her. After all, both parties were kind to him and he didn't want to be an enemy of anyone.

After thinking for a long time, Shuluping asked: "Mr. Spartacus, I heard that you are enemies of Persia and Kushan because of a woman. I guess she must be very important to you."

 “Mila, she is my wife.”

After hearing this, Shuluping's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked again: "She should be very important to you.

 “She is the most important person to me in this world”

 After saying that, Spartacus's face suddenly changed and he asked: "Is Mira in your hands?"

He thought that Shuluping was going to use Mira to threaten him, but Shuluping shook his head and said: "It's a pity, not here. I just feel that Mira, a weak woman, was sold as a slave to Guishang. I think she will She has been through a lot of torture and I don’t know how long she can hold on.”

Spartacus frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Shuluping smiled, then opened the cage with his own hands and unlocked Spartacus's chains.

 Xiao Chuo was completely stunned when he saw this. After all, Spartacus was a powerful general who could defeat thousands of people.

Shuluping pointed to the gate not far away and said unhurriedly: "I give you two choices now. One is to help the Qiang people win this battle, and I will help you find and redeem Mira.

The Qiang people are an important trading partner of the Kushans. If they want to redeem a female slave from the Kushans, the Kushans will definitely not refuse.

As for these two, you can leave directly and return to Kushan immediately to rescue Mira. Make a bet on whether Mira can survive until you arrive.

Or you can try and seek help from Da Qin to see if Da Qin is willing to help you save people.

But I would like to remind you that because the Sui State cut off the Silk Road, Great Qin's caravan was unable to go to Kushan and had no cooperation with Kushan.

At present, there are cooperating forces between Dongfang and Guishang, and they are basically enemies of Great Qin. You can bet on whether Great Qin can help you rescue Mira. "

Shu Luping didn't seem to worry about Spartacus's violent outburst at all. After finishing speaking, he sat down and drank tea leisurely. On the contrary, Spartacus's face was extremely ugly. It was obviously caused by Shu Luping's words. The words were completely understood.

Spartacus thought about what Shu Luping said. Although he did not want to be the enemy of Qin, he was even more unlikely to give up Mira, so he compromised after much thought.

"I can promise to help you, but you must keep your promise and help me rescue Mira. Otherwise, I will make you pay the due price even if it means death."

Hearing what Spartacus said, Shuluping smiled happily. How could she care about this verbal threat.

 Spartacus was still too naive, so he was firmly controlled by Shu Luping, and as a trump card in this battle, he was sent to Buffalo Mountain to participate in the decisive battle.

After Shuluping sent away the last remaining force and Spartacus, he couldn't help but said to himself: "Spartacus, I hope you are as strong as the intelligence said.

 Deguang my son, as a mother, I can only go so far. If I still can't win, I can only say that it is my fate as a Qiang people, alas. "
