The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 630 Coercion and inducement

After getting the promise from Liu Bei, Deva was ecstatic.

Moreover, Liu Bei and others were considerate and proactively stated that although they would not send troops to help, they would definitely send troops to help if the war was unfavorable or if they were needed.

This response is indeed sincere.

Deva held the gilded tiger talisman given by Liu Bei in his hand, and stroked the coiled dragon pattern on the talisman with his fingertips. He felt his palms and heart were equally hot.

Although it was only a symbolic tiger talisman and could not actually mobilize troops, it was enough.

The Han people value trust.

It still has a certain reputation in Kushan.

If I say I will protect you, I will protect you. If I say I will destroy your country, I will destroy your country.

Especially during the years of fighting against the Huns, the credibility was at its highest point.

"Chief, this is a serious matter. Kumar is not easy to deal with. We must be cautious."

"But this matter cannot be delayed. Otherwise, if it takes too long, our strength will be greatly reduced, and our plan will be more easily exposed."

Deva heard this and nodded.

"You are right. We must act in secret and as quickly as possible, but we must also make as many preparations as possible just in case."

"During this period, we have almost figured out which tribes have secretly colluded with Kumar and which tribes have been targeted by Kumar."

“We need to quickly connect with the tribes that share the same ideas as us.”

"And with the help of their power, we will find an opportunity to control all the troops and make sure to destroy Kumar!"

Deva said with confidence in his eyes.

As long as it exists, there will be traces.

Especially in a country like Kushan, there have never been any overly profound conspiracies or calculations.

Just by observing the battle losses and daily conversations of each tribe, Deva had a rough idea of ​​who was our enemy and who was not.

After all, even if those traitors wanted to act as spies for Kumar, they would not be so hard-working as to invest their entire fortune into it.

Their purpose of seeking refuge was to protect their family assets.

There was no so-called trust relationship between them and Kumar. It was just a speculative action of mutual exploitation.

Without those tribesmen, they would lose their value to Kumar, and the result would certainly not be good. Who would do such a stupid thing?
"Yes!" Tian Gui responded.

But in his heart, he didn't hold much hope that Deva could win.

Just one Kushan Guard Infantry Battalion is enough to give Deva and his men a hard time.

After several days of fighting, although the situation seemed calm on the surface, Deva had lost thousands of soldiers.

In the evening, Deva sat in the middle of the yurt, staring at the sheepskin map in the candlelight.

On the map, the 32 remaining warlords in the surrounding southern Kushan Empire were like chess pieces on a chessboard, with different colored wool markings of “friendly,” “wait-and-see,” and “hostile.”

He used the tip of his scimitar to pick up wisps of red wool, which represented the pro-self faction that had reached an agreement with him, including the Chola tribe, with whom he had married.

Dewa suddenly turned to Tian Gui and said, "Tell them to invite the leaders of other tribes around to a 'banquet', and start the uprising at midnight tonight!"

This was a strategy that Tian Gui had obtained for him from the Han people.

For the Han people, this seems to be called the "Hongmen Banquet".

That night, without Deva's knowledge, the leaders of each tribe received a temporary invitation.

Since the relationship between each other is good, and this is the time not to provoke others easily.

After all, we are all on the same battlefield, and no one wants to be attacked secretly because of an unintentional offense.

In this way, Deva's "Hongmen Banquet" easily achieved its goal. Although some of these powerful people secretly surrendered to Kumar, they were unwilling to do so.

Because Bodiao's ambition was too big and he had no intention of taking things slowly, the initial order given to Kumar was to completely control the southern Kushan Empire.

Especially since Kumar was once a southern Kushan and had once betrayed them as a loser and thrown himself into the arms of the royal court.

Naturally, these powerful people would not have any real loyalty to Kumar. They were all lured by coercion and inducement.

Under Deva's coercion and inducement, they naturally changed their identities.

When everyone had unified their thoughts, the rebellion broke out that night.

At midnight, on the grasslands south of Kushan, the night wind carried sand and gravel and hit the tent.

As a long horn sound broke the silence, Deva led the assembled tribal forces and rushed towards Kumar's camp like a tide.

The scimitar gleamed coldly in the moonlight, the iron hooves of the war horses shattered the tranquility of the grassland, and a thrilling rebellion officially began.

Outside Kumar's camp, sentries were patrolling vigilantly.

Although their military deployment was rigid, the quality of these Kushan elites was still very good.

Even though they were surrounded by their own soldiers, they still did not let down their guard.

Suddenly, some noise coming from a distance caught their attention.

They quickly sounded the alarm and prepared to resist a counterattack.

However, Deva's vanguard troops had already charged in with great force.

The leading warrior swung his sword and the sentry's head flew off in an instant, with blood splattering all over the tent.

Deva rode on a tall warhorse, looking at Kumar's main camp, with the flame of revenge flashing in his eyes.

He raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Warriors, today is the day for us to get rid of Kumar's oppression! Charge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the coalition forces behind him let out a deafening roar and launched a fierce attack on the camp.

Kumar's camp was thrown into chaos.

The sleeping soldiers were awakened by the sudden shouting and killing, and picked up weapons to resist in panic.

But Deva's coalition forces came with great force and were very familiar with the camp layout and terrain. They quickly broke through the outer defense line and rushed into the camp.

Seeing that he was about to defeat the enemy and succeed in the uprising, Deva couldn't help but feel excited.

However, he overlooked the fact that Kumar was, after all, a battle-hardened general who also had a corps of military spirit.

After a brief panic, Kumar quickly calmed down and began to organize a counterattack.

These elite troops brought from the Kushan royal court gradually stabilized their position under Kumar's appeasement and organization.

Relying on sophisticated equipment and well-trained combat capabilities, they began to counterattack against Deva's coalition forces.

The Kushan Guards Infantry Battalion became the main force of the counterattack.

Without hesitation, they stood at the forefront and rushed straight towards the center of the army where Deva was.

At this moment, the horror of the Military Soul Corps was clearly revealed.

Especially when the enemy was a rebel group temporarily organized by a group of rabble, they were stunned for a moment after being hit head-on.

They belonged to different groups to begin with, and almost instinctively began to retreat and sell out their teammates.

At times like this, having more soldiers is worse than having fewer.

When the soldiers who were killed and wounded fled in panic, those who originally wanted to charge had to be dragged along.

The rebels, who had been unstoppable, suffered a crushing defeat in just half an hour.
