Zhan Bai was still careless, or in other words, he was still a little too confident.

In mid-September, the allied forces of the Western Regions defeated the Dashi Empire. At that time, in the west of the Western Region, the Eclipse Empire had been destroyed. The emerging Persian Empire began its eastern expedition. The Dashi Empire mobilized the whole country to fight to the death, while in the east, the Tubo 20

Ten thousand troops entered the western part of Longyou, and the two sides launched a battle.

At this time, the Persian Empire sent an envoy to ask the Western Regions to send troops to attack the Dashi Empire from behind. After this was accomplished, the Dashi Empire would be given a land thousands of miles to the east.

Zhan Bai was extremely moved by this. Regardless of Du Zhongbo's firm opposition, he led 50,000 troops to attack the Dashi Empire. At that time, the Dashi Empire focused all its energy on the confrontation with the Persian Empire. The area east of the empire was extremely defensive.

Empty, James thought it would be overwhelming and he would be able to achieve his goal without any effort, but he did not expect that rabbits will bite when they are anxious. When the country was ruined and the family was in ruins, a man named Benrahimo stood up and

He dispersed all his property, recruited more than 10,000 soldiers, destroyed the defensible city, and left only three days of food. He took the initiative to launch an attack, catching Zhan Bai by surprise, and the two sides fought for three days.

More than ten times, Zhan Bai was defeated in succession, and was eventually driven back to the Western Regions, losing more than half of his 50,000 troops.

Zhan Bai was extremely angry and wanted to gather all his troops to fight back.

But at this time, Du Zhongbo tried his best to persuade Zhan Bo.

The more than 200,000 elite troops of the Dashi Empire in the Western Region were destroyed, and the national power has declined to the extreme. It is no match for the Persian Empire. Once Persia annihilates the Dashi Empire, its strength will be even stronger. By that time, a country that has merged the Lunar Eclipse and

With the land, population, and wealth of the two empires of Dashi, Persia will become an empire more powerful than the Jin Dynasty, which will be a great threat to the Western Regions.

Persia used the land thousands of miles east of the Dashi Empire to persuade Zhan Bai to send troops. It was simply an expedient measure. Once the Dashi Empire was destroyed, the military power of Persia and the Western Regions would not be comparable at all. At that time, Persia would let the military power of the Western Regions dominate its own

exist right under their noses?

Maybe at that time, Persia's next target will be the Western Regions.

Therefore, we should unite with the Dashi Empire to fight against Persia. A weak Dashi Empire in the middle will only bring benefits to the Western Regions, but no harm.

Zhan Bai was not a fool. He listened to Du Zhongbo's persuasion, but in the end he did not take action. The reason was very simple. The Dashi Empire had ruled the Western Regions for nearly two hundred years, and it was very cruel. It had always been a high-pressure rule. The people of the Western Regions regarded the Dashi Empire.

He was filled with hatred. At this time, Zhan Bai was trying his best to attract people's hearts. If he proposed the establishment of Du Zhongbo, he would definitely be opposed by the vast majority of people. So in the end, Du Zhongbo chose a compromise method and remained neutral.

, neither helping Persia nor Dashi, letting them kill each other.

Du Zhongbo was very helpless, but he had no choice.

The time soon came to mid-October, on the Longyou battlefield, the World War I War God Li Zhong personally led hundreds of thousands of troops out of Huizhou and entered the land of Longyou. The Tubo army on the North Road of Longyou was surrounded, and the battle situation in the west of Longyou, between Tubo and

The Jin army was at a stalemate. At this time, Du Zhongbo suggested that he send his army to Xizhou and wait and see how the situation changes. Unfortunately, Zhan Bo didn't pay attention and didn't want to get out of trouble prematurely, so he ignored Du Zhongbo's suggestion.

Then, in just ten days, the situation in the Longyou War changed drastically. A coup occurred in Tubo. Duanlong Fort was occupied by the coup forces, and Gewa led the army to retreat.

At this time, Du Zhongbo strongly suggested that Zhan Bai lead the army to go east immediately and raid Wuzhou. At this time, Wuzhou, after the fierce battle with Gewa, the city must be extremely weak. As long as a raid is launched, there is a great possibility

Once Wuzhou was captured, Gewa would never dare to mess around, because at that time, there was a coup in Duanlongbao, and he could no longer return to Tubo. On the battlefield of Longyou North Road, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were under Li Zhong's command.

Under his leadership, he formed a confrontation with Zhou. The situation in Zhou was precarious. Under such circumstances, Ge Wa had only one choice, which was to lead the army to retreat, return to Longyou North Road, join forces with the Tubo army there, and have a final battle with Li Zhong.

decisive battle.

Regardless of Gewa's victory or defeat, he has only one way to go in the end, which is to break through Duanlong Fort as soon as possible and open up domestic communication with Tubo. If Li Zhong wins, he may lead his army to march westward and attack the western part of Longyou.

But at that time, with more than 100,000 troops in Zhan Bai's hands, it was impossible for the Jin army to end the war in a short time.

Tubo was defeated and extremely weak. Zhan Bai occupied the western part of Longyou, which was a very big threat and restraint to the Jin Dynasty. This was beneficial to Tubo, and it was also very beneficial to the Liao Kingdom established by the Hu people. At that time, Tubo

The Liao Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom will definitely stand on the side of Zhan Bai and jointly deal with the Jin Dynasty. With the combined efforts of the three countries, even the generation of war god Li Zhong will probably be able to do nothing.

Du Zhongbo's establishment made Zhan Bai extremely excited, and he immediately summoned the generals from various countries to discuss it. However, what happened was completely beyond their expectations. The generals who attended the meeting were almost overwhelmingly opposed to this establishment.

Strongly opposed.

The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have always been politically independent. They are just like a loose sand, each with its own calculations and interests. During the rule of the Dashi Empire, the Dashi Empire was cruel and the people at the bottom lived in distress and poverty. However, the countries in the Western Regions represented by merchants

The lives of the high-ranking aristocrats are extremely rich. The Dashi Empire has always focused on wooing the high-ranking aristocrats of the Western Regions countries, and the oppression is not severe. Therefore, although the high-ranking aristocrats of the Western Regions countries live under the rule of the Dashi Empire,

However, various privileges and freedoms are still retained.

Whether it was the previous Jin Dynasty or the later Dashi Empire, although they were the rulers of the Western Regions, they still allowed the Western Regions people to govern themselves. As long as the Western Regions countries handed over enough money, they would not interfere with the political rights of each country.

.

Therefore, the high-ranking nobles of the Western Regions countries have no ideals or revenge at all. They just want to protect their own interests. They do not object to Dashi's rule at all. What does the life and death of the people at the bottom of the Western Regions have to do with them?

So when Chen State and Xiyue State opposed the Dashi Empire and were eventually destroyed, other countries in the Western Region reacted very coldly. They felt that Chen State and Xiyue State were doing harm to others and themselves. What were they thinking?

Keep yourself clean and don't get implicated.

If Zhan Bai hadn't persuaded his father to take over the army of Anshu under the pretext of self-protection, and joined forces with Emperor Bilan's brother Zhesha, who was also in charge of the country's affairs, they would join forces to raid Xizhou.
