Kingdom of Armenia.
The city walls of the capital are built with obsidian and khaki boulders within the territory.
The whole city is like a huge stone castle and is called the black pearl of Menia.
It is extremely spectacular and is located in the heart of the Kingdom of Menia.
In the center of the ring-shaped city is the gorgeous and white palace.
On the walls of the palace, you can sometimes see mainly azure, intertwined with gem decorations of other colors, and many wooden sculptures, with a primitive atmosphere.
The leader of Armenia, Mitro II, was in his early forties. He was fat, with curly brown hair, thick eyebrows, and very white skin.
He wears a crown on his head, holds a short staff symbolizing power, wears a white royal robe with wide gold lines, and sits barefoot on the throne.
"What did you say."
Metro II spoke slower than ordinary people, and the pronunciation of every word he spoke was very clear, creating a special sense of oppression.
He had just received the news of the defeat on the front line and was shocked.
You must know that he sent 25,000 elite troops to Parthia. The team officially entered Parthia three days ago, bringing a large amount of food with them.
Parthia kept its promise and handed over the city at the mouth of the river to Armenia.
The handover of the city has not yet been completely completed, but news of the coalition's disastrous defeat has come? !
"Three days ago at night, the Han army from the east attacked our Armenian and Parthian armies. The eastern army won, but we and Parthia were defeated miserably."
"The latest news is that the famous Parthian commander Utis was captured alive, and the generals Ross and Gran who we sent to Parthia were killed in the battle."
The minister who reported the report glanced at Metro II, whose face was as cold as ice:
"Earlier, news came back from the border that broken troops fled back from the front line.
The Han army in the east also asked the soldiers who escaped to bring back the beheaded bodies of Glen and Ross. "
"What?"
The leader of the country, Mitro, said angrily: "Are they provoking Armenia?"
The minister said: "Maybe he wants to warn us."
"Arrogant, but they dare to threaten Armenia just after winning a war. They obviously don't know that we are a country that grew up from war and are never afraid of any strong enemy!"
Metro said coldly:
“Our tribe entered western Parthia, the river mouth plain area.
How could the Han people from the east appear at the westernmost border of Parthia and attack our troops?
Have they penetrated all of Parthia? "
"The soldiers who fled back said that the Han army that attacked them only had four to five thousand men. They secretly entered Parthia and launched a surprise attack. Not only was Armenia defeated, but the tens of thousands of Parthian troops were also defeated." The minister responded.
The leader of the nation lost countenance and said: "Can thousands of Han troops defeat our 25,000 elites?"
He couldn't help but ask: "Has the news been confirmed?"
The minister said solemnly: "There are also reports of relevant war situations from Parthia, and there's more to it than that.
At that time, an elite Macedonian force of nearly 30,000 people also rushed to the battlefield.
However, they were suppressed by the terrifying Eastern Han Army and suffered thousands of casualties without participating in the battle. "
As soon as these words came out, even Mitro felt a chill in his heart: "The Macedonian army is no match for the Han army..."
The minister bowed and said: "The Lord of Parthia sent people thousands of miles away to rush to deliver the war horn."
Metro had long since noticed that the minister was holding a war horn that was about a foot long and as gray as a bull's horn in his hand.
The minister stepped forward and presented the horn.
The leader of the country, Mitro, asked him to step down.
When he was the only one left in the hall, he stretched out his hand and put his power into the horn.
The next moment, all the sacrificial inscriptions on the horn were glowing and slowly lighting up.
The void is filled with waves.
The sacrificial inscriptions lit up on the horn, and the halos intertwined, turning into a somewhat blurry picture of divine power.
The leader of Armenia was a little surprised.
As far as he knew, the war horn was a special creation made by Parthia using war magic and was divided into three levels of communication.
The simplest way is to integrate with divine power and light up different symbols, which can only carry out fixed and short-term message transmission.
The next level up is the brief verbal communication.
The last one requires the king to enter the Silver Temple in the palace and be blessed by the temple to form a void projection to connect the two ends.
In other words, it is now the Parthian king who is personally promoting the war horn on the other side.
What appears in the picture is Mithridates' sharp-edged face with deep and majestic eyebrows.
"It was you who personally summoned me." The Armenian leader said.
The Parthian leader said bluntly: “You should know what happened.
I can tell you that the problem is more serious than you think. Even my royal capital has been attacked.
I was almost assassinated by the opponent. You should know that my royal capital has an ancient silver temple, and its defense power far exceeds that of your Armenian royal palace.
You can think about it, if the other party attacks you, how would you resist? "
The leader of Armenia narrowed his eyes.
Mithridates added: "I need your help. Let's unite to deal with the Eastern Army. The reward is the Eye of Babylon.
You've wanted this artifact for a long time, I know it. "
The leader of Armenia: "That was ours. You, Parthia, took advantage of the collapse of the empire and took it away. It should have been returned long ago."
Armenia, including a small part of Macedonia, belonged to a country called the Seleucid Dynasty in an earlier period.
That was the country that formed after the huge empire he established after Alexander's death was divided.
Just like the three Jin Dynasties in China, later, due to war, geography and other comprehensive reasons, the Seleucid Dynasty also collapsed into three parts.
One of them still uses the name of Seleucid, with its capital in Antioch, and is also called Andi by surrounding countries. Its influence is far less than its heyday, and it fell apart earlier than the established historical trajectory.
The border of Andi is located between Armenia and Macedonia.
Andi did not participate in the alliance organized by Parthia and watched with cold eyes.
“I need you to come forward in person and help me convince An Di to join our alliance.
I'll take charge of Macedonia. "
Mithridates said: "You have to know if Parthia is further captured.
The Han people from the east are aggressive. They fight all the way from east to west. Without me, Parthia, to stand in front, you, Armenia, will be next. "
“By then, it will be too late to organize a coalition, this is the last chance.
We must unite to deal with the threat from the ancient countries in the east. They conquered the city and never took prisoners. The Dayue clan was wiped out. You should have received the news, otherwise you would not have agreed to form an alliance. "
————
It was noon when Huo Qubing returned to Nordiyali City.
The news that he led his troops deep behind enemy lines and defeated the Parthian coalition forces has spread throughout the Han army groups on the Western Expedition, passing through Dayuezhi, the Western Regions, and then to the hinterland of the Central Plains before returning to Chang'an.
The emperor was pleased to hear it and all the officials were overjoyed.
In Nordiya, Gongsun He and Su Jian welcomed the triumphal team of Huo Qubing and others into the city from outside the city.
"Where's uncle?"
In the Central City Lord's Mansion, Huo Qubing asked Gongsun He and Su Jian.
"Two days ago, the general learned that Da Sima had defeated the enemy, that Bhutto had withdrawn, and had given up the fight for Nodiyali. The war situation had been decided, so he set off back to Chang'an." Gongsun He said.
Huo Qubing was surprised.
What could make my uncle rush back to Chang'an so eagerly that he wouldn't even have time to wait for his return.
His heart sank slightly, and then he thought of the reason: "I want to be alone for a while."
Gongsun He and Su Jian resigned after hearing this.
There was no one in the hall, so Huo Qubing took out the concentric lotus leaves and called, "Qing'er, aunt... something happened?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess on the other side was sitting in the Embroidered Clothes Hall, staring at the lotus leaves in a daze for a while, and then said:
"Husband, please don't worry. Just like last time, my aunt fell into a coma a few days ago and couldn't wake up.
I was afraid that you would be distracted on the battlefield and did not dare to tell you. My uncle and Your Majesty had the same idea. "
"Last time...it was cured with the Bai family's prescription. The medicine has been used according to the prescription, and the ancestor of the Bai family, the miraculous doctor Yu, is also on his way to Chang'an. When my husband comes back, my aunt will be fine."
After ending contact with Liu Qing, Huo Qubing had ups and downs.
The last time his aunt fainted, he felt uneasy, and sure enough, something went wrong again.
He sat in the hall for a long time, thinking to himself: If he fainted just like last time, he would wake up just like last time... If my aunt fainted, your majesty would personally check on her, and she would be fine...
Some scenes from my childhood flashed through my mind.
He was taken care of by his aunt Li, with whom he had a very deep affection. Whenever he left or returned to Chang'an on an expedition, this aunt was always the first person to report that he was safe.
Night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
After the Han army occupied Nodiyali, the original city lord's palace was used as the government office.
The front hall is for working, and the back hall is for rest.
Wei Qing left, and Huo Qubing automatically took over the military power of the Western Expedition Army.
He suppressed his worries and read various files on the army's defense in Parthia and the Great Yuezhi area.
It was getting late, so I returned from the front hall to the back hall.
The lights in the hall flickered.
Bai Nanyu was wearing a plain brocade fairy dress. She knelt on the bedside and helped him change the bedding. The lights flickered, and the outline of her legs was vaguely visible under the skirt. They were well-proportioned, plump, and round as the moon.
Bai Nanyu carried the military slips written out of thin air with him for storage.
There were clothes and bedding inside.
After joining the army, various kinds of things were added for Huo Qubing.
Bai Nanyu was responsible for taking care of all the chores during his march.
Huo Qubing said: "There's no need to clean it up. I move my Qi and enter samadhi at night, so I may not be able to sleep."
Bai Nanyu hummed, got off the couch, put her pure white feet into the jade-colored embroidered shoes on the ground, lowered her head and knelt down next to Huo Qubing: "The general is in a hurry to return to Chang'an. Something happened?"
She has always been very thoughtful, and she can roughly guess that there might be something wrong with Mr. Li.
Bai Nanyu's eyes flashed, reflecting the dim light in the palace, and she looked at Huo Qubing: "Master Hou is worried?"
"It's not that bad. My aunt just fainted like last time. I'm okay. Last time, it had something to do with Zonghengdao, but Chang'an today is different from the past. Your Majesty is in Chang'an. This time it should not be Zonghengdao."
Huo Qubing said: "We have no days off during the battle. You should rest early. I'll call you if anything happens."
The sky is dim.
Huo Qubing opened his eyes from practice.
A figure entered Nodari City from outside the city.
He took one step and arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The person coming is empty samadhi.
He lost his fighting posture and looked like an ordinary person.
The next moment, Kongsamadhi appeared in front of Huo Qubing.
"How's it going?"
Kongsamadhi went to attack the Parthian capital for other purposes besides attacking Mithridates II.
He had just rushed over to join Huo Qubing. In the past few days, he had also been exploring targets, involving Parthia, Macedonia and other countries.
"I fought against the Lord of Parthia and obtained his blood. Then I used the main body's Li Dai Tao Zhan technique to replace his blood and integrate it into myself, and I was able to enter the Silver Temple."
An eye appeared between Kongsamadhi's eyebrows.
There are countless small mantras passing through the pupils of his eyes, which are scriptures from the Vedas.
When these scriptures shine and interweave in the void, they form pictures that resemble the countercurrent of time and space, reflecting the Parthian palace.
Three days ago, Kong Samadhi broke into the royal capital and fought fiercely, and then retreated on the surface, but in fact he was dormant in the dark.
When the Parthian leader left the Silver Temple, Kongsamadhi appeared outside the temple.
There is a powerful restriction on the Silver Temple, and only the Parthian king can enter and exit.
After Kongsamadhi got closer, he used the blood obtained from the severe damage to the Parthian king during the fierce battle as a medium, and shared the military skills of the host Huo Qubing, using a series of schemes to cross the sea, fish in troubled waters, Li Daitao was stiff, and blessed himself.
The restrictions of the Silver Temple were thus concealed, and Kong Samadhi sneaked into the temple.
“At the beginning of the war, when the Lord of Parthia was in the temple, I tried to force his way in, but failed.
With him pushing forward the destiny of the country, the power of the Silver Temple was very strong. I only managed to enter after he left. "
"There are some discoveries in the temple."
As the empty samadhi in the picture enters the temple, the scene inside the temple also appears.
Kongsamadhi took out an artifact and said, "This was taken from the temple. The Parthians believe it is something left by God in the world."
