Suning knew that Kangju and Dawan were once vassal states of the Kushan Empire, although this was something that many folk historians were unwilling to accept, but this was a fact after all, a fact, and it was something that could not be denied. However, these two Spanish-speaking countries had gradually broken away from the Kushan Empire before this, and along with them, Khorezm, which was located on the northwest border of the empire.

Although the Kushan Empire's restraint policy was very different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty, their influence on Kangju and Dawan was real, and even though the connection was very indifferent, the two countries were the first to think of the once powerful Kushan Empire when seeking foreign aid.

However, at this time, Suning did not have time to deal with this guy, who was destined to become his enemy, and Hu Bisega II was not a strict monarch. The 5 million population and 200,000 troops are only the numbers of the empire's heyday, and in front of Suning, they do not have enough strength to confront the Liangzhou system, which has entered the semi-industrial era.

However, the current capabilities of the two systems cannot shake the ruling foundation of the Kushan Empire. There's still a lot of homework to be done, at least if you want to shake it. Compared with the Liangzhou system in terms of population and military strength alone, there are more than 300,000 people of all ethnic groups, and the number of troops is about 300,000.

But this number is still the ideal expectation that will be reached after the unification of the Western Regions is completed, and 300,000 troops, in addition to the need to defend all parties, also need to suppress the countries in the Western Regions that have just been occupied, which will disperse nearly 1/2 of the strength, then only 150,000 can be taken out to fight against the Kushan Empire, and the Kushan Empire is too far away from the base camp of the Liangzhou system, and under the expedition of the labor division, it is very likely to suffer defeat in the disparity in strength!

So there is only one choice in front of Suning at present, and that is to make peace with the Kushan Empire!

But peace is not bought by compromise, but by war, so the focus of his current work is to occupy the heart and land in the slave society, and there are two main advantages of this, so he stabilizes the local security environment, reduces the required defense forces, and then gradually relocates the logistics supply base to the Western Regions, so as to facilitate his expedition to the west!

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately sent troops to attack the Khotan country located on the south side of the Tianshan Mountains after subduing the Cheshi State.

Khotan did not send all its military forces to participate in the previously destroyed heart and coalition forces, so they still have enough troops to deal with Suning's challenge, which is Suning's reputation for cruelty in this battle, but also to solve this battle as soon as possible, so he used gunpowder that had only appeared a few times on the battlefield in the East China Sea before!

Just as the offensive on the southern front was gradually unfolding, the attack in the middle was also launched from Loulan, and Aries Jiedu made Attila, as the vanguard of Zhang Qi Zhangfu, take the lead in recovering the former capital of the palace, and the army moved here, and continued to peep west into the country of Qiuzi and Gumo.

These two countries are only a mountain away from the Wusun Kingdom, and the predicament they are facing now makes it difficult for the Wusun Kingdom to sit still. The Cheshi Houguo and Loulan Kingdom, which are the eastern barrier of Wusun Kingdom, have also been taken by Suning one after another, and their position as the number one power in the Western Regions is also in jeopardy!

But the first number to come was not them, but the country of Khotan, which had already been surrounded on three sides! In four hours, the capital of Khotan was breached, the king was killed, and all the ministers were taken prisoner. Just this simple battle report was enough to make the countries of the Western Regions and the Kushan Empire that came to reinforce them feel a great panic.

In this way, the end of the country, the country of Jingjue, the country of Khotan, and the country of Shache, which are located on the north side of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, have all been taken by Suning, so his next target is the country of Shule, which is closely adjacent to the country of Dawan!

The Shule Kingdom is located in the middle of the mountains, and the terrain is quite complicated, but for the Liangzhou system, which has begun to be equipped with firearms, this kind of obstruction is not a big deal at all!

However, the big thing is that their strength density has dropped to a critical point, and if this continues, the security situation in the occupied areas will deteriorate rapidly, so they must stop their advance. The remaining four major Spanish-speaking countries that have not yet been recovered will be included in next year's plan!

Military action can be stopped, but diplomacy must not be stopped. After announcing the order to stop the march, Suning immediately sent an order to the Liangzhou base camp in the rear, ordering them to quickly send envoys to make representations to the Kushan Empire, declaring that the countries in the Western Regions, including Kangju and Dawan, were the inalienable territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty and were part of the Western Regions Protectorate, so the military action he took against the Western Regions countries this time was purely an internal affair, and he deliberately pretended to be an empire and should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so Suning asked the Guishan Empire to immediately withdraw its garrisons stationed in several countries in the Western Regions!

Otherwise, Suning will use all the means of force it deems necessary, and may even inform the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty that they will send more troops to participate in this war in the Western Regions. It will definitely be unacceptable to many countries, but Suning knows that the key to this matter is not whether the other party is willing to accept it, but whether it has a clear position!

This position is for your own people's sake!

Anyone can make sense, and if it doesn't, they can even fabricate evidence, forge logic, and copy rigid routines. So. There is no reason to be able to stand in the face of sufficient strength, and how can strength be formed? Nature is to condense from within!

This logic may be more blatant and unacceptable, but this is a method often played by most politicians, even if they want to start a war against a certain side in the game, they must first carry out a wave of propaganda offensive to better mobilize various domestic resources!

Although this kind of thing happened very rarely in the various feudal dynasties of ancient China, it was mainly because there was a more powerful ideology in China, which was the feudal idea of loyalty and patriotism. This kind of thinking requires his followers to carry out the orders of the monarch unconditionally, so when the Chinese army is mobilized, most of the time there is no need for additional propaganda!

But the situation that Suning is facing now is different, most of its governance areas have just been put together, and the interior has not yet condensed into a rope, and. Suning's system does not yet have a unified idea, and if he wants to launch a war like the ancient feudal dynasty, he also needs a lengthy ideological construction cycle!

And this cycle may be able to be carried out simultaneously with the next production cycle!
