Although the Kingdom of Bactria occupies a lot of land, no one thinks that they are a Kingdom of Shendu.
This place was originally part of the Kingdom of Persia and was the bridge between Persia and Shendu, which is today's Afghanistan.
Later, the young Alexander the Great conquered Darius III, but encountered strong resistance here. A local nobleman named Bessos declared himself the successor of Darius and passed through the favorable local terrain (Afghanistan).
) blocked Alexander for two years, and the Imperial Cemetery had no effect.
Since then, the culture here has taken on a strong Greek style.
It was not until Alexander died that the Seleucid Empire, which inherited his legacy, was established, and it became part of the Seleucid Empire. Later, something happened in the Seleucid Empire, and a Parthian named Assasis rebelled.
Got it
After seeing the weakness of the Seleucid Empire, the governor of Bactria at that time also declared independence, thus establishing the current Kingdom of Bactria.
They have expanded numerous times in these years. The territory of the kingdom stretches from the middle Ganges River Basin south of the Himalayas in the east, to the eastern desert of Persia in the west, to the Gulf of Bombay in the south, and to the Syr Darya River in Central Asia in the north. It is very powerful, but
, they are full of internal contradictions. The rulers here are still outsiders, localized Greeks, and they are even a minority. They forcefully impose their beliefs and culture on the people at the bottom, causing rebellions and frequent divisions in the kingdom.
, unified several times.
But today's kingdom is not only experiencing internal turmoil, but also facing external challenges.
Outside the mountains to the north of the kingdom, there is a fortress. This fortress is probably one of the strongest fortresses in the kingdom. It was once the castle of the hero Bessos and the headquarters to resist Alexander. Now, this fortress is
Silently resisting foreign enemies for the empire.
King Demetrius II of Bactria slowly left the fortress.
After discussing for a long time, Protector seemed to have made up his mind.
"Don't act rashly!!!"
They have been paying attention to Shendu's war, and they also know the performance of the Han army there. To be fair, Dmitri does not feel that his army is much stronger than those of Shendu. Although he has always had the advantage over the years
, but it is absolutely impossible to crush them like the Han army.
His eyes sparkled with greed.
"King. What are we going to do?"
Compared with these neat formations of the Greeks, those in the distance looked much more chaotic. They wore clothes made of fur and short bows. They had different clothes and different appearances. They were not in formation, but just rode on horseback.
The horses stood in a row casually, and it was not even possible to tell who was the real leader.
"What benefit can you give me?"
He spoke loudly, took his attendants, and galloped away in the direction of the emperor.
He simply dropped the spear in his hand.
The enemy's face gradually became clear.
"I can give you whatever you want."
"I'll give you a second option. Let's join forces to resist them. They have come from afar. As long as we use the terrain here, we can prevent them from advancing. As long as we can withstand them for a year, they will have to retreat.
.”
"slave!"
The two sides started fighting directly, and the Huns had no advantage.
Dmitri sensed the danger and immediately came to find allies for himself.
The ground trembled slightly, and the loud sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
Dmitri felt something explode in his mind, and his eyes turned red, "This stupid guy! A fool who deserves to be torn apart by a car! An immoral beast!! Doesn't he know what we are facing now?"
!”
"Of course I remember that the agreement is invalid. Don't worry. I won't ask you for the slave gold or anything like that. You can keep it for yourself. I'm going to start withdrawing with my own people."
Dmitri gritted his teeth and raised the spear in his hand tremblingly.
He was riding a very handsome black horse, wearing a crown and clothes woven from brocade. He raised his head high and maintained the majesty of a king. Behind him, there were three hundred people.
Guards, these people are holding large shields and spears, wearing helmets, and cloaks behind them. They are Greek-style warriors.
Hu Tu still had a look of disdain on his face, "What does this have to do with me? Let alone letting you pass, even if I kill you, it has nothing to do with me!"
Dmitri took a deep breath and stared into the distance.
Dmitri suddenly fell silent. He looked at the knights in the distance.
"I am the King of Bactria! I surrender!!!"
Bactria has always wanted to establish stable diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, but obviously, the current diplomatic relations are not what they want. Dmitri does not want to go to Fahrenheit City. They have been fighting with the poisonous people for hundreds of years.
The two sides are simply mortal enemies. Let yourself go to their capital alone? Why not just let yourself commit suicide?
But he did not dare to ignore the threats issued by the big man.
If he were still here, there would be no need for me to say anything, he would take the initiative to cooperate with me, right?
“Something big happened in the capital!!”
Dmitry began to discuss the price with him again, and the two sides couldn't agree.
Dmitri looked at the "barbarian" in front of him calmly. He was not here to argue with this man. He said: "The Han Kingdom sent an envoy and asked me to go to Fahrenheit City in person, otherwise my country will be destroyed.
nation."
The nobles seemed to have different opinions. They quarreled for a long time, which made Dmitry even more angry. He missed the original leader of the Huns very much. Although that leader almost destroyed his country, he was a man who could communicate normally.
They even wrote letters to each other, and that person even expressed that he could marry him and marry his daughter. When that person died, Dmitri was very happy. His powerful enemy was finally dead.
But seeing this new successor, he began to miss his mortal enemy.
He had heard many rumors about the emperor, but he never thought that the Huns were so afraid that they would run away when they heard his name??
"No, don't leave in a hurry! I can add more. Two hundred thousand slaves is not impossible."
When Hu Tu heard his words, he was not touched at all. Since his brother died, Hu Tu led the Xiongnu tribes to return to their original appearance, gradually removing many of the reforms of Ji Zhou, and began to plunder everywhere again.
They occupied the northern commercial channel, which was later the territory of several Stans, and often sent people to plunder Bactria and even the kingdom of Assasis further west. However, the plundering in the west was not
It went so smoothly. Those people from the Kingdom of Assasis were also good at riding and shooting, brave and warlike. They had just ended the Seleucid Empire not long ago and were at the peak of their powers. When they encountered the Huns, they did not panic.
, they also started out as nomads, and they all engaged in plundering, so who is afraid of whom?
"Invincible? I just defeated three of your armies not long ago!"
Liu Changdu had already drawn the strong bow in his hand and pointed it at the general who was charging towards him. However, when he saw that the man did not have any weapons in his hand, he still put down the strong bow hesitantly.
Dmitri was stunned.
At this moment, the attendant rushed out in horror.
Incalculable cavalry.
Hu Tu was busy robbing and giving birth to children all day long, so how could he send anyone to inquire about these things.
"Hercules on a white horse?"
"I want 200,000 slaves! I want eight cities! I want all kinds of ordnance."
Demetrius II looked at the Huns in front of him and frowned slightly.
"Go? Where are you going?? There are Han troops on three sides, you go west? Can you defeat Mithridates? He ended Seleucus and established the powerful Parthian Empire. Where are you going to run to?
go?!"
He is not a brave man. In fact, he is also very afraid of this war.
And around him, there were more than 20,000 troops.
Just like the Han Dynasty believed that it was a country of etiquette, while the outside world were all barbarians, the Buck Country also always believed that it was a country with culture. We knew astronomy, philosophy, and mathematics, but those outside were all barbarians.
He hates these barbarians very much. The Kingdom of Bactria has always looked down on the barbarians who came from afar, and of course they also look down on the poisonous people. They call the poisonous people "the conquered", and
The only person they actively contacted was the Han Dynasty. In history, they once received help from the Han Dynasty by exchanging envoys with the Han Dynasty, and thus prospered. However, at that time, the Yuezhi people had already occupied the territory.
The main roads prevented them from direct contact with the Han Dynasty. In the end, the Yuezhi people forced them to enter into a marriage alliance and thus annexed their kingdom.
"Hahaha, we are different from you, we can leave. Do you remember? The grassland is our home. If we can't fight, we can still leave!"
Liu Chang looked at Dmitri who was tied up in front of him with some anger. Nai Gong's strong bow was drawn. Are you telling me to surrender now?
Do you think it’s fun to play with me?
In the distance, there are many knights waiting for them.
Hutu said, turned around and left here, the knights followed him very fast, and soon disappeared into the distance.
"livestock!"
"You want to leave?? Just because the emperor of the Han Dynasty appears in the body?? Where are you going??"
Dmitri said seriously: "This time, their emperor went to war in person, and you live here, don't you know it at all?"
Demetrius II did not speak, but the attendant standing beside him began to read loudly, "The successor of Alexander the Great, the invincible man who defeated the Seleucid Empire, the master of Bactria, Demetrius
The second generation came here and wanted to meet the conqueror Hutu on the grassland!!"
However, now, he has no choice. He is unwilling to surrender his country like those poisonous people. He wants to die gloriously on the battlefield like his fathers.
They appeared from the distant horizon, occupying almost every place that everyone could see. From a distance, they were densely packed, blocking out the sky, and there were more and more small black dots. They were heading towards their own
The direction was approaching, and the soldiers around the king were obviously frightened at this moment. The trembling on the ground became more and more obvious, the sound of horse hooves became louder, and the king's hand holding the spear began to tremble.
They each formed a formation, especially the spearmen. They were tall and muscular, holding a large shield in one hand and a spear in the other. They lined up neatly beside the king in a square formation, with their spears like a forest.
As if to pierce the sky, their eyes were firm, staring into the distance. On several fortresses in the distance, a large number of archers were ready to shoot. Dmitry was all covered in armor, and around the chariot
There are also several knights, and these knights are also fully armed.
A tall, giant-like warrior riding a white horse led the cavalry. They were fully armed to the teeth. Even the horses under their crotches were covered in armor. They were like a torrent of steel and could not be defeated.
"King!! Something big happened!"
Although they are enemies, it is too shameless to launch a rebellion in the royal city when the king is leading the army to resist foreign enemies.
"What?!!"
Dmitri couldn't understand the changes in this Hun Chanyu at all.
In the end, Hu Tu gave in. He felt that he had taken advantage of him, and his face was filled with a smile that couldn't be hidden. "Don't worry, you won't suffer. My knights can be responsible for involving them, so that they can never
Attack with all our strength, we cooperate, you defend the city, I harass, they will not be able to defeat us. I am still very familiar with the Han people, who is the general sent by the Han people this time? As long as it is not Han, I can win!"
The attendant trembled and said: "We have no food and cannot resist the enemy at all."
After their explanation, Liu Changfang understood his current situation.
At that moment, the smile on Hu Tu's face suddenly solidified.
"Who did you say??"
Dmitry naturally felt the emperor's anger, and he hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me for being disrespectful. I think you will understand me. As a king, dying in battle is the best choice. But when I choose to fight for the kingdom,
And when they died in battle, there were some shameless and despicable guys. They launched an attack, killed the general I stayed behind, and usurped the throne. I am absolutely unwilling to die fighting for such a person!!"
"Eucratides took advantage of you to leave the capital and launched a shameless sneak attack! He defeated our defenders and called himself the only king of Bactria! He was the successor of the Seleucid Empire! He also expelled
All your officials!"
"The hometown of hero Bezos will never surrender easily."
The minister's behavior made Liu Chang despise him.
Hu Tu's face was extremely determined. Even after hearing about two hundred thousand slaves, his face never wavered for a moment.
Hu Tu said seriously: "I'm going to the west. I know there are Parthians there, but if I were to choose between the Parthian king and the Han emperor as my opponent, I would rather fight the Parthians.
"
Although their number is small, they are well-equipped with chariot troops, spearmen, and archers.
"It's him."
Hu Tu was a little confused. He looked at the nobles around him and ignored Dmitri. He started talking quietly with the nobles around him. Since it was a negotiation and the other party wanted something from him, of course he had to get enough.
the benefits of.
Hu Tu narrowed his eyes, "I can continue walking north."
The enemies in the distance gradually revealed their true colors.
"Be prepared. I'm going to resist them myself."
The attendant was stunned, but didn't the hero Bezos surrender to Alexander in the end?
The Kingdom of Bactria is bordering the Maurya Kingdom. They occupied a lot of territory in the Maurya Kingdom and built several fortresses here.
Dmitry was a little angry, "The poisonous people fought among themselves, and the final result was that when the Han army appeared, they were unable to resist at all. They fought in one battle and they no longer had the ability to resist. With the terrain of our kingdom, if we
By joining forces, we can stop the Han's conquest, and at the same time, we can prevent the body poison from falling into the hands of the Han so quickly. You are also a king, don't you know that if we perish, you will be the next one to perish?
!”
He first said it in his own language, and then said it again in the language of the Huns.
"No, it has nothing to do with the price. You can keep it for yourself. I won't do it no matter how much you give me. Stop pestering me. I will leave here with my own people. You don't have to send people to guard against our plundering anymore."
Now, feel free to resist the Han Emperor."
And around him, the only allies he could find seemed to be the Huns.
Hu Tu immediately shook his head, "Just pretend you haven't seen me. Let's retreat!!!"
Demetrius II stood on the chariot, holding a spear, ready for battle.
Dmitri suddenly panicked, and regardless of his own safety, he rode directly to Hutu's side and grabbed his arm, "We just reached an agreement? Do you still remember?"
Dmitri's eyes were a little dull.
The guard looked at them with disdain, then laughed.
But now, Dmitri could only negotiate with these barbarians whom he usually looked down upon.
"You have never experienced it. You don't understand at all. The emperor of the Han Dynasty is not a mortal. He is a god in charge of strength and war. He is a true warrior blessed by the eternal life. No one can defeat him. No one can stop him. I advise
Get ready!"
Thinking of the fighting power that the Huns had shown over the years, Dmitri's face suddenly became a little desperate.
"Their emperor."
cavalry.
"gold!"
No wonder this person voted directly.
"Who is he to you?"
"They all ran away from Seleucus."
"Seleucid was ended by the Parthians. They fled everywhere. It was I who took them in and gave them territory so that they could survive. These people began to accept the exiles of Seleucid in their own territories. The number
There are more and more people, and their power is getting bigger and bigger. I didn’t expect that they would treat my respected Emperor like this. I am willing to be your governor and govern Batkleia for you, but I hope you can give me time to do it.
