The Prime Minister of the Kushan Empire, Darau, directly reported the war situation on the Eastern Front to Emperor Vesudeva I.
"What do you think?"
After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Vesudeva I hesitated for a while. He looked at the civil and military personnel under his command and didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, I think that since China dares to do this, it means that we Kushan are not in the eyes. I suggest that we immediately launch a large army to support the Eastern Front. We are now strong and powerful, and China is newly established. I feel that it is time to avenge the past.
.”
The Kushan Empire launched a war against the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty, but they were all defeated. This also caused them to temporarily give up their expansion to the east and turned to the west to conquer a huge territory.
Now that China has just been established, they can continue to the east. If they can capture the rich China, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Kushan Empire.
"I think what the general said is wrong. Although China has just ruled the territory of the Han Dynasty, their soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers who have experienced bloody battles. And seeing that they dare to counterattack us now, they must be ready for war.
Our main troops are on the western front, and it will take time to transfer them. If China sends troops to continue attacking our territory at this time, it is very likely that the Ganges River area that will be captured soon will also be threatened."
The minister in charge, Wanbuler, frowned and suggested to Vesudev I.
Although they wanted to go to the newly established Huaxia to take advantage, they did not expect that the other party would go ahead and do it without buying it. This made them a little confused. Could it be that they wanted to attack Huaxia, but Huaxia was already prepared and wanted to
To attack yourself.
"Well, that's a problem."
Vesutiva I also nodded when he heard Wanbul's words. Their main force is now on the Western Front. There are only more than 100,000 troops on the Eastern Front. Now they have been beaten by China. If they still need hard steel now,
, once China marches straight in, their eastern front will definitely be unable to withstand it.
The result of the loss of the Eastern Front is not just the gain or loss of one place. This place now provides a lot of food and grass for the Kushan Empire. If this place disappears, it will be a huge disaster for the Kushan Empire.
"Your Majesty, you can now send envoys to China to express goodwill first and ask their troops not to march westward. If they want to fight, all wars on the western front must be stopped. Then they can send troops and horses on the western front to return. This is already a national war.
It’s impossible to make a small fuss.”
Prime Minister Darau looked at Vesuthiva I, with a flash of light in his eyes. If he really wanted to fight, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses might not be enough. Only by gathering all the soldiers and horses from all over the country could he defeat the opponent.
After all, China is bigger than them, so it would be a joke if they let down their guard.
"Your Majesty, it is exactly what the Prime Minister said. Taking advantage of the opportunity to capture China will definitely allow our empire to take off again. It is more valuable than capturing more places on the Western Front. Let's start the war."
General Hariwan nodded. Although they don't have enough troops now, the Prime Minister is right. If they want to annex China, they must mobilize the whole country to do it.
"Your Majesty, think about it. If we can't win China, it will be a disaster for us."
The minister in charge, Wan Bu'er, still disagreed with the war. After all, he was not optimistic about fighting China. If he could not defeat the opponent, it would be a disaster for the Kushan Empire.
"I have made up my mind. I will first send people to China to express goodwill, then arrange for the suspension of the war on the Western Front, and return to the Eastern Front to fight the war with China."
After thinking for a while, Vesudeva I decided to adopt the prime minister's strategy and officially start a war with China.
"yes."
Since Vesuthiva I had spoken, no one refuted, and everyone saluted, and then arranged for envoys to go to the battlefield on the eastern front. At the same time, he sent people to the west to stop the war there, and then mobilized troops to the east to prepare for a national war with China.
.
As time goes by, the situation in the country becomes more and more strange, especially in the direction of Jingzhou, where more and more forces are gathering.
Liu Biao traveled all the way south to the outside of Shanyang. All the soldiers and horses were waiting outside. Liu Biao went to his father's graveyard in person. He cried, shouted, laughed, and after going crazy, he went directly to the grave.
Transfer to Jingzhou with Zhang Lin.
"Your Majesty, Liu Biao has left Shanyang."
Jushou came to Yuan Shu with the battle report he had just received.
"Going to Jingzhou?
Have you finished worshiping your ancestors?"
Hearing Ju Shou's words, Yuan Shu was also stunned. Is it over so soon?
"Well, we're officially heading to Jingzhou."
Jushou nodded, a light flashing in his eyes.
"Has everything been arranged?"
Yuan Shu spoke directly and asked about the preparations in all aspects.
"We are all preparing. Zang Ba has led the Xuzhou Army to station in Jingzhou, but there is a problem."
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu and directly spoke what was in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
When Yuan Shu heard that there was a problem, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"The problem with Cai Hao is that he has 50,000 naval troops in his hands. There can be no problems with this power. I'm afraid that if Liu Biao really goes to Jingzhou to start an uprising, Cai Hao will probably turn against him directly if he doesn't know what's going on. Then we will be in trouble.
.”
Jushu directly mentioned the issue of Cai Mao. After all, these are high-level matters. Cai Mao's class has no contact at all. You must know that he is related to Liu Biao by marriage. If Liu Biao rebels, he will definitely start a rebellion with Liu Biao for his own safety.
, then the situation in Jingzhou will be in trouble.
"This is also a problem, Dian Wei."
Yuan Shu glanced at Ju Shou. What Ju Shou said was a problem, but he couldn't tell Cai Hao the news now. He was afraid that this guy's big tongue would blow things away, and everything would be over by then.
"exist."
Dian Wei took one step forward and saluted Yuan Shu directly with cupped fists.
"Immediately take me to Jingzhou with the imperial edict. After arriving in Jingzhou, you will temporarily hide. If Cai Hao doesn't commit the crime, nothing will happen. If he really wants to make trouble with those people, you will bring someone with the imperial edict to kill Cai Hao first.
soldiers, and then take over the navy."
In order to prevent problems from arising, Yuan Shu thought for a while and decided to be on the safe side and asked Dian Wei to go south to Jingzhou to guard against problems arising from him at any time.
"Well, it would be great if General Dian Wei could take action."
Jushu was relieved when he heard that Yuan Shu had arranged for Dian Wei to go to Jingzhou. Dian Wei was brave and powerful. If he could go, Cai Mao would not be a problem.
"According to the decree."
Dian Wei glanced at Yuan Shu, knelt down on one knee, and then left Xindu with five thousand guards and rushed towards Jingzhou.
When Liu Biao was advancing towards Jingzhou, Dian Wei overtook him and rushed outside the navy station first, whereupon he hid himself.
"Took it."
After several days of offensive, Jia Xu finally captured the city of Xunmu'er. At this point, all three important towns on the eastern front of the Kushan Empire fell into the hands of the Chinese.
Just when Jia Xu was resting his troops and reorganizing his troops, envoys from the Kushan Empire also arrived outside Banerbo City.
"who?"
When the soldiers on the city wall saw the enemy appearing, they immediately cocked their crossbows and were ready to attack at any time.
"We are envoys from the Kushan Empire and want to see the generals of the Chinese Empire."
The messenger Chelton directly identified himself to the soldiers on the city wall.
"Messenger of the Kushan Empire?
Wait, I'll report it."
Hearing that the other party turned out to be the envoy of the Kushan Empire, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to neglect and went directly to report the news to the city.
"What?
The envoy from the Kushan Empire is here?"
Jia Xu was stunned when he heard the news coming from the city wall. Where were he following? He had just exerted his strength, and someone came directly from the opposite side?
"Sir, did we hurt him by beating him and are we here to seek peace?"
Gao Shun glanced at Jia Xu and asked, what is the purpose of the other party coming now?
"That's right. Let them come in and meet them first before we talk."
Jia Xu thought for a while and decided to meet them, not knowing what they were going to do.
"promise."
The city gate opened, and the Kushan envoy entered the city directly, and then the envoy Chelton came to see Jia Xu alone.
"The Kushan Empire Chelton met with the Chinese general."
After entering the room, Chelton greeted Jia Xu directly. He didn't know the other person's name, but it was always right to call him "General".
"Okay, Chelton, what's the matter?"
Jia Xu was not surprised that Chelton could speak Chinese. Since he was a messenger, he must be able to speak Chinese. Otherwise, he would not be able to understand the language when the time came.
"I don't know the name of the general."
Chelton glanced at Jia Xu and directly asked his name.
"This is Lord Mu Jiaxu of Yizhou, our Chinese Empire."
Gao Shun, who was beside Jia Xu, glanced at Chilton and directly reported Jia Xu's name and identity.
"It turns out to be Master Jia Xu. I have admired your name for a long time. I have admired your name for a long time."
Hearing that the other party turned out to be Jia Xu, Chelton was also stunned. Since they wanted to start a war with China, they would naturally investigate the situation in Yizhou, and they would naturally know Jia Xu's name.
"Tell me what you have to say."
Jia Xu nodded and directly asked him the reason for his visit.
"I am requesting to see His Majesty the Chinese Empire on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Kushan Empire. Some of the unpleasant things that are happening between us can be resolved through negotiation, so I hope you can forward our wishes."
Since Jia Xu asked this, Chelton had nothing to hide and directly stated his purpose.
"Isn't it pleasant?
It seems you are the ones who are unhappy. Just when China is newly established, you are increasing troops on the border. If you have any ideas, I don’t need to say anything."
After hearing what the other party said, Gao Shun on the other side raised an eyebrow and directly told them their original arrangement.
"This general has gone too far. We did have a move to increase our troops, but this was just in case. We did not send troops to China. On the contrary, your country concealed it and brazenly sent troops to attack our border. Not only did it attack
They killed tens of thousands of soldiers and occupied three of our important towns. I wonder who belongs to them?"
Chelton glanced at Gao Shun, couldn't help but frowned, and directly retorted.
"Haha, we call it preemptive strike. If we wait until you attack, I don't know if you will say that again."
Gao Shun sneered and watched Chelton speak again.
"Master Jia Xu, do you think so too?
Could it be that the Chinese Empire does not want to gain the friendship of the Kushan Empire, but wants to start a war with us on all fronts?"
Chelton shook his head and ignored Gao Shun. Instead, he set his sights on Jia Xu, who was in the first place, because he was the protagonist here, and arguing with Gao Shun would only make him look inferior.
"Of course we want friendship, but it depends on what your country thinks. If you want to start a war on all fronts, we are not afraid."
Jia Xu glanced at Chelton and couldn't help but smile when he heard that he actually threatened him with war.
"Sir, what are you talking about? The Kushan Empire is a friendly country. It has no conflicts with the Han Dynasty in the past and with China now. There is no doubt about this."
