"The invasion of body poison is actually not a disaster, but this is the best opportunity to gather power and make our Kushan reborn from the ashes." Susanga said.

"Now the court has been completely controlled by the nobles, and His Majesty cannot intervene at all. And we do not have enough manpower, so we can only start with military power. And our country has nearly 700,000 troops. Except for Your Majesty, you are in the capital.

In addition to the 100,000 elite guards who personally control the capital, the Northern and Southern armies each have about 100,000 troops, half of which are border troops, and the other 200,000 naval troops cannot be moved lightly. This invasion of body poison is your Majesty's return to control the South.

The timing of military power.”

Susanga first took stock of the situation, causing Vesudev I to nod slightly.

This was the crux of his inability to take power at the beginning. Although he was a king, strictly speaking he was only a member of the Kshatriyas, and his status was even lower than that of the Brahmins who represented the divine power and held sacrifices. The political power was completely controlled by the Brahmins and Kshatriyas.

The nobles represented by Dili are in control. There are many conflicts between Kshatriyas and Brahmins, and they check and balance each other. However, he, the king, is too weak to change anything at all. He can control the half-million troops in the country except the navy.

Only one hundred thousand.

"Then how do you think we can control these nearly 200,000 Southern troops?" Vesudeva I asked with excitement. If he could control 300,000 Southern troops, coupled with his status as king, he would be able to escape from the current situation.

In today's embarrassing situation, he has taken control of the country's power in one fell swoop.

"We all know the strength of Shendu. With an army of 300,000 people, it is open to question how much combat power it can have. If General Sogde commanded 200,000 Southern troops and cooperated with the navy to help, they can be defeated easily. By then, they can be defeated easily.

, It depends on General Deterby!" Susanga looked at Deterby meaningfully.

Deterby seemed to have noticed something, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes. Finally, under the gazes of Vesuthiva I and Susanga, he nodded slowly: "If an accident happens, I will take the lead.

But, I also hope that His Majesty the King will give General Socrates a good ending for his hard work and loyalty."

Deterby did not want to participate in such an ugly political struggle, but now he has to participate. Not only for the sake of his own life, but also for the future of Kushan. Nowadays, Kushan is experiencing constant internal strife.

He saw the situation in front of his eyes and was anxious in his heart. From Khwarezm and Sogdiya to the independence of Kangju Dayuan, Kushan has shown a trend of continuous division and is in danger. Even the former "defeated general"

"An Anxi dared to come and take a bite, snatched some territory and then went back leisurely.

If this continues, Kushan will not be far from being destroyed. In this case, Dethebi has no choice but to pin its hope on Vesudeva I. This country that is about to be divided needs an iron-blooded dictatorship.

Or, Vesudeva I was the only choice. For this reason, Theby could even endure the ugly politics he hated most.

Everything is for this country!

Thetleby kept chanting in his mind to suppress his inner guilt. How could he not understand the meaning of Vesudeva I's arrangement? After Sogdes led his army to victory, he allowed him to retreat to the rear to rest due to an "accident".

Taking over the position and picking peaches. Such shameless behavior, if it were not for the empire, he would not do it even if he died.

"Don't worry, I won't treat General Sogdy badly, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only make a small sacrifice for the time being." Vesutiva I said with a smile, feeling relieved in his heart.

Everything has been arranged, and the most critical thing now is General Detheby in front of him. As one of the five commanders of the empire, although he occupies the last position, his prestige in the army cannot be underestimated. Once something happens to Socrates, what is in front of him will be

People are the only substitutes he can push forward.

"But Your Majesty, there is one more thing we need to focus on." Susanga said.

"Which point?" Vesudeva I asked.

"Big man! No, now it should be said that he is a big Chu!" Susanga said with a solemn expression.

Hearing the word "big man", Vesuthiva I and Deterbi could not help but feel a sense of awe and fear in their hearts. Kushan's fear of big men has almost been imprinted in their souls since the banchao war.

How was Kushan established? The Dayue clan was driven away by the Northern Huns and came to this place. After wiping out a group of indigenous people with little fighting power, they began to engage in trade between the East and the West, and finally formed an empire. And the Han Dynasty

What? With his own strength, he directly defeated the Northern Huns who were roaming the Eurasian continent at that time. By comparison, we can see the gap in combat power between the two sides. Even the remnants of the Northern Huns who were crippled by the Han Dynasty and were hiding in the Western Regions, Kushan Du

I dare not provoke him, let alone a big man.

When Guishuang was the most powerful country after the founding of the country, it was not that I never thought of fighting with the big man, to prove that I was no longer what I used to be, and to show my strength to wash away the humiliation of the past. But unfortunately, I was still too weak and stupid, so I was sentenced to death.

Yuanhou Ban Chao taught life. After understanding Ban Chao's status and the number of reinforcements that the Han had to support him, Guishang completely gave up the idea of ​​​​wrestling with the Han.

The greatest monarch in Kushan, who was called the "savior", spent a lot of national power and dispatched 70,000 elites. As a result, Ban Chao hardly spent a single soldier. After lobbying several weak countries in the Western Regions, he led

Defeated with a group of miscellaneous soldiers.

No matter how many coincidences and accidents there were, this battle was enough to illustrate the gap between the two sides. A battle that determined Kushan's national policy for nearly a hundred years was ignored by the Han people and was only treated as a small border friction.

In my heart, if the so-called powerful empire Kushan had really dared to run up to the Emperor of Han Dynasty and say "We are very powerful, and you are one of the four great empires", I guess in addition to Yelang's arrogance, there would be another idiom called "guishan".

Frost is arrogant.

Maybe after the emperor of the Han Dynasty heard Guishang's lies, he was just like Xiao Feng said to Murong Fu in Jin Yong's novel: "It's really embarrassing for me to have you as famous as me." At that time, he was furious and led his army to destroy Guishang.

Not sure.

After that battle, Kushan never mentioned the eastward advance again, and did not dare to intervene in the wealthier Western Regions. It developed westward and southward peacefully, building confidence in the "powerful countries" of Central Asia and India, and ravaged them crazily.

At the same time, the fear of the Han Dynasty was firmly engraved in the hearts of the Kushan people.

"We are fighting against body poison, what does it have to do with Dachu?" Vesudeva I said in a deep voice, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart. He really couldn't speak of the taboo word "big man".

"Although Da Chu did not participate in our battle, the man who was poisoned before went to Da Chu personally to ask for help. Although Da Chu did not agree, he established a trade relationship with it after his request and provided support to others.

Part of the weapons and equipment. To fight the body poison, it is best for us to say hello to Da Chu, which really angered the Han people when we met." Susan Gai sighed slightly. Although it seems extremely extreme to say this.

It was cowardly, but he still spoke after thinking.

"How presumptuous! Do I need the consent of the Han people to eliminate the poison in my body?" Vesudeva I was filled with anger and couldn't help shouting angrily.

"Your Majesty, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. I don't know what the situation is like when the Chu is newly established, but I heard that its monarch is extremely powerful, just like the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past. Although Shen Du has only established a certain relationship with the Chu

Trade relations, but the two sides are considered friendly, but if we take action without saying hello, it is equivalent to slapping the other party in the face, which can easily offend the other party. Don’t forget the lessons of the countries surrounding the Han Dynasty in the past! It’s just a little bowing of the head,

Maybe we can also use this to gain the support of Da Chu, and maybe get more benefits."

Susanga didn't have much resistance to bowing to Da Chu. Anyway, it has been like this since the founding of the Kushan Kingdom. She has always been kneeling and licking the big man. She has never dared to put herself and the big man on the same level. She just has a small heart.

Even if you think about it, you don’t dare to say it clearly in front of the Han Dynasty. You have always regarded yourself as a vassal state. Because after getting along for a long time, they all know what the Han people are like. They are so friendly. You have to say it in front of them.
