Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions
Chapter 73 Taking orders in times of danger
After hearing what Euthydemus I said, he knew that he would die if he didn't go. It was better to die on the battlefield than to die here.
So after simply weighing the pros and cons, the general could only nod and agree.
Just as he was about to leave, Euthydemus I suddenly called him again.
"I almost forgot to ask you, what's your name?"
"In reply to your majesty, my name is Gulshihan."
After hearing what Euthydemus I said, Gulshihan quickly responded.
However, it was also this question that made Gulshihan feel deeply powerless. The fact that he was asked to complete such a serious task without even knowing his own name was enough to show how stupid this monarch was.
"Gulshihan! Why does this name sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"
When Euthydemus I heard Gulshihan's name, he frowned and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
However, since he really couldn't remember anything, he gave up thinking about it and looked at Gulshihan with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Gulshihan, don't let me down! You know, I have high expectations of you!"
Euthydemos I was both optimistic about Gurshihan and posed a threat to him.
However, when Gulshihan heard his words, he was stunned and did not react for a while.
After walking out of the palace, Gulshihan realized that he had become the commander-in-chief of the army to resist foreign enemies in such a short time. This made him feel that there was an inexplicable illusion in this world.
If one could reach such a high position under normal circumstances, one would definitely think that this was a great honor for one’s ancestors and go home to celebrate.
But now he doesn't think so. This is a job that can cost him his life. If he doesn't do it well, his fate will be very miserable. This is really a shame.
Thinking of this, Gulshihan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"With my ability, how can I possibly command 300,000 troops to resist them? As the saying goes, a man should know his own limitations. I am very clear about my own abilities."
Gulshihan muttered a few words to himself, his eyes full of bitterness.
"In this case, I have no choice but to ask General Nurubo for advice! I believe he will have a way to solve this matter."
After much thought, Gulshihan decided to go to the house of Nurubo, who had been dismissed by Euthydemus I, to ask him how to solve this matter.
The reason why Gulshihan dared to take the risk to meet Nurubo was, firstly, because this matter was extremely important and concerned the survival of the country.
Secondly, Gulshihan was once Nurubo's subordinate. Nurubo's character made them all admire him very much. Even when he fell from power, these generals did not take advantage of his misfortune.
It was precisely because of the relationship between Gulshihan and Nurubo that he was transferred to the border town to serve as an unknown defender.
After walking for more than half an hour, Gulshihan arrived at Nurubo's door.
Looking at the deserted doorway, Gulshihan sighed deeply.
When Nurubo was in power, people who came to visit him would break down the door of their house. But now that he has been dismissed, all the people who used to come to him to do things and curry favor with him have disappeared.
It really proves the saying that if you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, people will come to you!
After shaking his head, Gulshihan walked forward and knocked on Nurubo's door.
After waiting for a few minutes, the door was finally opened. A middle-aged woman opened the door for him. Gulshihan, who had been to Nurubo's house several times, naturally knew that this was his wife.
Nurubo's wife also opened her eyes wide when she saw Gulshihan, and looked at him in disbelief.
Then he ran back into the house without saying a word.
"What happened? Why do you look so flustered?"
After seeing his wife running back in a panic, Nurupo frowned and asked a question.
"Gu! Guershihan is here!"
The wife kept gasping for breath, and then spoke loudly to Nurubo.
After hearing her words, Nurubo quickly pushed his wife away and walked towards the door.
When he confirmed that it was indeed Gulshihan, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Gulshihan! Why are you back? And what are you doing here? If His Majesty knew about this, both you and I would be in danger!"
Nurubo walked up to Gulshihan and pushed him hard, trying to drive him out.
Ever since he was expelled from the political center and dismissed from his post, he had understood that Euthydemus I was afraid of him and wanted to take back the military power from him.
Moreover, when Nurubo returned home, he noticed that there were many unfamiliar faces wandering around his house. He knew without looking that they were sent by Euthydemus I.
It was originally thought that Euthydemus I was a wise monarch, and with his assistance, Bactria would become increasingly prosperous and powerful. However, this monarch did not even have the slightest tolerance for others. Nurubo understood this point, and Bactria would never become prosperous and powerful in his hands.
"General Nurupo! I have just returned from His Majesty's visit."
After hearing what Gulshihan said, Nurubo stopped what he was doing and just stared at him blankly.
"Can you let me in first? General Nurubo! After all, some things are not appropriate to be said here."
"Oh! Come in quickly."
After hearing what Gulshihan said, Nurubo came to his senses and quickly made way for him to go in.
Then he took him to the study and ordered no one else to set foot in the study without his permission.
After doing all this, Gulshihan pulled Nurubo to sit down.
"What on earth do you want to see His Majesty for today? Logically speaking, given our relationship, His Majesty shouldn't see you!"
After hearing what Nurubo said, Gulshihan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"General! Your Majesty, he doesn't even know who I am. He only asked me my name when I was leaving, so he probably doesn't even know the relationship between you and me."
"After hearing what you said, I suddenly felt that this was both reasonable and unexpected!"
Nurubo forced a smile and said helplessly.
"In that case, do you have something important to report this time?"
"That's right! General, we have been attacked by a mysterious army! One third of our territory has fallen into the hands of the enemy!"
"If I hadn't realized something was wrong when the enemy attacked the city and hadn't disguised myself and escaped, I might have been a prisoner or a corpse now."
When he thought of the Black Armor Army led by Guo Ziyi and others, Gulshihan showed an expression of fear on his face, as if it had cast a great shadow on him.
