Under these preconditions, Vesudeva I very decisively implemented a new plan, which was the Kabul Valley Bait Plan.
Only victory can deter the domestic situation, and only victory can make the young people in the country look at the problem calmly. Although Kuishang is at a disadvantage, in terms of paper strength, Kushan is still terrifyingly strong.
Judging from all the imperial wars that Vesudeva I witnessed in the history books, there was never an imperial war that ended quickly.
The war between the empire and the empire, whether it is Han-Hungary, Han-Roman-Parthian, the war between the two sides is calculated in hundreds of years. After several generations of monarchs, the victory or defeat of one dynasty is not a big deal. As long as you can calm down and stabilize the situation,
As long as the right king comes, there is still hope.
Vesudeva I had completely calmed down at this time, and had completely given up preparations for a field battle with the Han Dynasty. The Great Wall Plan had been included in Vesudeva I's options. He would attack steadily, not underestimate the enemy, and focus on defensive counterattacks, just like back then.
Just like the Han Dynasty, just guard the border and wait for the true Lord of Destiny to come.
The war of empires never ends in a short period of time. As long as one victory is won next, the nobles and chiefs in the country will realize the true strength of their country and realize that the war of empires is a war of attrition of national power, not a temporary blitzkrieg.
Go down, dawn is near!
With this idea in mind, after the Battle of Balayaga and the Battle of Brahshas killed several generals, Vesudeva I resisted his grief and immediately turned his mind to opening up a new battlefield. No one could
Living in the past, he wants to carve out a future for this country.
After all, from the current point of view, Vesudeva I has indeed taken the right direction. Classical **** plus ****. As long as it survives the initial period of chaos, the country's national strength will quickly recover, and its combat effectiveness will be restored in a short period of time.
Time is dilated.
Therefore, in the view of Vesudeva I, as long as he survives this difficult period, a bright future will beckon to him. As an empire, Vesudeva I has very strong self-confidence and firmly believes that he can survive.
the next ten years.
After all, the historical experience summarized in countless historical records told Vesudeva I that as long as he did not commit suicide, no empire would fall easily.
Looking back thousands of years, no empire has collapsed within less than ten years of war with another empire. Each of them has survived for hundreds of years. What's more, even after the collapse, there have been many cases within hundreds of years.
Fake corpse.
So be careful. After this period of time, the Kushan Empire and the Han Dynasty will still have to fight. Arvind is gone, Rahul is gone, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that as long as we survive for another twenty years, even if
Now that births have begun, a new generation of commanders will come out, so I am not afraid at all. The empire will not fall easily. Vesudeva I is extremely convinced.
With this awareness, Vesudeva I seriously began to plan for the future. Since we can no longer win in this era, we should give up frontal confrontation, accumulate big victories with small victories, and fight a protracted war. The Kushan Empire will never be defeated easily.
of.
It was based on this plan that Vesudeva I began to look for the right way to open up new battlefields while moving the capital and planning the construction of the Great Wall defense line.
After all, Kushan also has wise men, so he quickly found the right plan - Cao Cao. Except for Alexander's super-quick approach to the road from the north into Peshawar, as of now, as long as it is guarded
Key points everywhere, even if only the Kabul Valley and the Khyber Pass remain, are not so easy to capture.
Of course, after the Han army captured Kandahar, they had the possibility of not taking the Kabul Valley route. Instead, taking the Bolun Pass in the northwest corner of India was also an option. Although this side is relatively more difficult to walk, it is also more difficult to walk this way.
Difficult to defend, at least slightly better than being stuck in Kabul.
After confirming these things, Vesudeva I decisively mobilized 40,000 elite backbone troops to ride to Peshawar and cross the Khyber Pass to join Kapil.
This is the only plan in history that Kushan has been able to bring out the full power of the Imperial Scepter. In the past, it was not that Kushan didn't have so many dual talents, but it just didn't have the opportunity to gather so many dual talents.
But that's not right. Every time the dual talents gather like this, the war between the north and the south is not far away. This is the first time that Kushan has gathered dual talents on a large scale to fight for one goal.
After recruiting a large number of elite backbones, Vesutiva met with several leaders of the Roman barbarians for the first time. She no longer viewed each other as barbarians, but seriously invited them to fight for Kushan and formally proposed
A series of concepts such as pensions, positions, privileges, etc., inevitably made Macrinus and others excited.
However, in the end, these people gave up recruiting Vesutiva I because of the lofty status of the Roman senators in Europe. After all, Rome had successfully established its own flag in Europe for hundreds of years and became a civilization in the eyes of European barbarians.
Light.
Think about it, a hundred years after Rome was thrown into the streets, countless European barbarians still used the tribunes conferred by the Roman Empire as a sign of their orthodoxy.
Fortunately, Vesudeva I's words were so frank and honest. Even if they did not completely convince these European barbarians to fight for Kushan, they also made these people agree with the emperor to a large extent and were willing to do their best to fight against the Han Dynasty for Vesudeva I.
In this way, Vesudeva I's originally slightly weak military strength was alleviated, and at least on paper, he still maintained a fairly strong combat effectiveness.
Xun Qi has received orders from Vesuthiva I and has also seen the elite troops mobilized by Vesudeva I. However, Xun Qi was restrained by Zhu Helai.
Yes, Zhu Helai came back in person, and he clearly told Xun Qi that there were people from the Han Dynasty in Peshawar, and they were high-level officials. Xun Qi did not deny this and gave partial evidence.
"Are you going to the front line next, or?"
Two years ago, these materials could only confirm the existence of the spy, but could not identify who the spy was.
"I have to leave in two days at most." Zhu Helai looked at Xun Qi and said, "It seems that you have noticed the spy issue very early."
"I'm not a fool." Xun Qi said with a little coldness, "When I was pushed out to take charge, although I was indeed cutting the knot quickly and eliminating the chaos in Peshawar in the most efficient way possible, I
It’s not like the person who killed him didn’t know what he was doing.”
"That is to say, you suspected a spy at that time?" Zhu Helai nodded. Xun Qi was very smart. He was so smart that in the current situation, Vesutiva I even included Xun Qi in the consideration of his successor for the sake of the country.
middle.
"Nonsense, although I said I killed the person at the time, it was out of necessity. How could I really not investigate it carefully later?"
Even the secretary was taken into consideration, but in the end it didn't work out. The other party was more powerful than me, so I can only be sure that this person is still in Peshawar."
"Have you not caught anyone in the past two years?" Zhu Helai said a little surprised. It was not that he didn't feel that Xun Qi was so blunt about checking himself. He had also checked Xun Qi in return. Only with this attitude,
to solve the problem.
"The most recent time I grabbed the tail of my hand and chased him, he was already dead." Xun Qi gritted his teeth and said, "The other party definitely had people planted in my place. I checked all my servants and then replaced them.
A group of people.”
Zhu Helai nodded, he knew this.
"It seems that the opponent we are facing is very cunning." Zhu Helai sighed and said, "Do you have any direction or doubt about the candidate?"
Xun Qi was silent for a while and shook his head, but Zhu Helai didn't say anything.
"I'll stay here for two days. Let's try together during these two days." Zhu Helai looked at Xun Qi and said very seriously.
"It's not realistic. After the news of moving the capital was exposed, this place is no longer the political center. If I were the other party, I would definitely go to Mosuluo and wait." Xun Qi crossed his arms and said with a sneer.
"Then have you recorded the list of people who have come and gone recently?" Zhu Helai asked naturally. Although it was his first time to cooperate with Xun Qi, Zhu Helai felt that it was extremely smooth.
"All the nobles have recorded it, but I have not recorded it for the ordinary people." Xun Qi shook his head, and Zhu He came to express his understanding. After all, Peshawar is currently the top city in the world. It would be too difficult for everyone to record it.
.
"Let me take a look." Zhu Helai reached out and took Xun Qi's list.
"I'm afraid it won't be of much use." Xun Qi sighed, that's what he said, but when he gave Zhu He a lot of lists, it was clear that he wasn't going to let Zhu He come to rest today, and Zhu He had to praise Xun Qi when he came.
Work carefully and conscientiously.
"Is there anything else?" Zhu Helai flipped through a few pages of the list and began to build a network of personnel based on the impressions in his mind. However, he found that Xun Qi had not left and asked involuntarily.
"Secretary is going to the north. If you see Fulward, can you forget all the things that happened before?"
, it is inevitable that based on General Fulward’s performance over the years, the secretary can let Fulward return to Bactra first.”
"It seems you have found something?" Zhu Helai looked at Xun Qi and said, Xun Qi shook his head, "How about let bygones be bygones?"
Zhu Helai had some black materials about treason in the north, but he never dared to investigate. And with Xun Qi's expression now, it would be fine if Zhu Helai didn't know about these black materials, but he knew that he had already guessed that Xun Qi didn't want to say anything.
