Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 672 The Battle of Slaughtering the City
However, this letter of credence was treated as a joke by Cao Peng.

"I don't believe that their religious beliefs and the conflict of royal family interests can make them really monolithic." Cao Peng sneered and tore the letter of credence into pieces.

I have to say that his former apprentice is really a little bit stiff.

Back then, the king of Persia asked him about military tactics, but now he dared to challenge him openly.

Cao Peng would like to learn how strong the opponent is.

When the King of Persia had no rights, he was like a dog. Usually, the more deaths at that time, the more desolation and desolation. Cao Peng has witnessed it. Let him see what it means to be a master of kings.

"Pass my order to send troops to Liaodong immediately, I want the king of Persia to know how powerful I am!"

Cao Peng's order was sent directly to the troops at all levels of the battalions through Jin Yiwei, and they immediately moved and set up camp.

The news spread to the Second Persian Empire through the messenger, and the Persian emperor immediately panicked.

"Your Majesty, we have long said that we cannot confront Cao Peng head-on!"

The minister's complaint made the Persian emperor immediately angry.

"Everyone is already a grasshopper on the same rope, but you still accuse me like this. Does my death do you any good?"

"As long as we win the support of Seleucus now, we can get the northeast of the Guishuang Empire Plateau." The King of Persia said with analysis.

After hearing this suggestion from the King of Persia, everyone thought about it.

The establishment of the Persian Empire had an extremely significant impact on some small countries that were previously attached to the Great Wei in the West.

Seleucus is considered a neutral country dealing with various forces. As long as this country can be conquered by Persia, then other things will no longer be a problem.

At this time, the king of Persia wanted to play a good diplomatic card. As long as they could get the support of Seleucus, they could win over many small neutral countries in the west and form a powerful barrier against Cao Peng's eastern conquest. This is not a powerful army plus Fame can form a barrier across an empire.

In fact, just as the Persian emperor expected, Seleucus' attitude has become the vane of many small countries.

Because, the Seleucid Empire was a small country, and as a country that once had an imperial level, it had already set in the sunset by this time.

Under such a situation, they had no choice but to choose to cooperate with Persia or to surrender to Wei to become slaves.

In order to further persecute Persia, troops were even sent to besiege such a country.

The Persians regarded the conquest of Seleucus as their method of establishing their prestige.

While the Persian army was besieging the city, Wei's Jinyiwei also penetrated through layers and came to this neutral country.

As the king of Seleucid, Arshak faced a difficult choice at this time, whether to rely on Wei or Persia.

"The Great Wei is powerful, I hope His Majesty will not be confused."

The country's urban and rural areas took advantage of the Great Wei, so they encouraged their kings to surrender to the Great Wei, so why not do it if they have food, drink and women?
"Your Majesty, the Persian army is just outside the city. If we just take refuge in Wei, we are afraid that we will be wiped out tomorrow. What are we waiting for?"

After hearing this, the king's mind was a little clearer.

That's right, the Persian army is now hoarding outside the city, and Cao Peng's army is far from being able to quench its thirst. If the Persian army attacks, then in the end they have to fight alone and there is only one dead end.

"Let's discuss this matter again, and we won't be able to make a decision for a while."

As a senior old fox, he naturally wanted to shirk all responsibility, so he immediately shirked the blame.

When the news was sent back to Cao Peng, Cao Peng smiled slowly. He knew this would be the result.

"It seems that our battle for the West is still too benevolent after all, so that these countries don't know that we have a precedent for massacring cities!"

After listening to Cao Peng's words, Guan Yu on the side felt the same way. He had long said that he would take strong measures to deter the enemy, but Cao Peng kept pressing him not to let him do so.

"General, let me..." Zhou Cang said.

Guan Yu waved his hand to stop him, and said coldly: "No, Your Highness does not have Xia Lian, so we must not act rashly."

This made everyone a little strange, when did Guan Yu become so obedient.

"Yun Chang, it seems that you have finally grown up!" Cao Peng smiled lightly.

"Boyo, you've already taken an extraordinary path, and you're ready to surprise him!"

Another surprise attack? !
Guan Yu was a little surprised. He didn't know what Cao Peng's plan was. The last time Jiang Wei's surprise attack captured the capital of Rome, he didn't know which direction he entered this time.

"Report, Seleucus has sent a letter of war!"

The time when Jin Yiwei sent the information was just right, Cao Peng immediately took the information, glanced at it, and tore it up immediately.

"Seleucus did a good job. He was vacillating between me and Persia, and finally chose Persia. I will make them pay the price!"

The pace of Cao Peng's westward expedition has not stopped. The land and cities originally occupied by Seleucus have been continuously shrunk under the encroachment of the Wei army.

If the fight continues, Cao Peng will be able to win the whole territory within half a month.

Moreover, during the course of this battle, Cao Peng once ordered the massacre of the city.

King Seleucid was frightened. Unexpectedly, Cao Peng really did what he said and slaughtered the city directly.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the lives and deaths of the people, we should obey this demon for the time being!"

The ministers under him petitioned one after another, and Seleucus sighed, "Okay, let's surrender to this devil!"

The battle was unfavorable, and King Seleucid could only reach a consensus with Cao Peng.

"It's over if you do this earlier, why do you bother to do this?" Cao Peng laughed so much when approaching the envoy of the other party.

The faces of the Seleucid envoys were hot. They used to be an alliance with Wei, and they were regarded as independent and independent countries, but now they surrendered their sovereignty and this time they will be handed over to Wei.

"Your Highness, the Lord asked me to remind you that Persia is ready to move and may break the border at any time!"

As soon as Cao Peng understood it, he was clearly the old guy. He was afraid of being retaliated by Persia, and he couldn't even save his life in the end.

"Reassure him, Wei's army of 10 people will be stationed in Seleucus, and the Persian army will never dare to cross the border to harass you!"

Cao Peng's words made the emissary kneel down in gratitude, and he could only do so at this time.

In exchange for benefits, Cao Peng sent troops to garrison it, freeing Seleucus from the worries of being retaliated by Persia.
