Chapter 340 - A Treaty That Is Ready to Be Torn Up Before It Has Been Identified—3

Chen Qingzhi moved very quickly, first sending a part of his forces west into the Syr Darya River, then slightly reorienting himself to advance southwest into the Khorezm region, and then turning due west into the Bukhara area.

The army's actions were not disguised, as if to clearly tell the surrounding forces that we were going to the battlefield on the Western Front, standing with our allies the Khwarazmians, and facing the Sabbath Empire from the West.

The Khorezmians didn't seem to have reacted yet, they were very honored to fight against the two empires at the same time, and they were still celebrating wildly, after all, half of the river basin was already under their control.

It's just that the Sabbatarian Empire's troops are eyeing the Khorasan border that makes them quite unhappy, because their territory is currently empty and exposed to the enemy's attack, but fortunately, they think that the Sabbatarian Empire is still their ally, at least an ally of their ally. With such a relationship, the Rest Empire should not attack them.

However, the information from the south made their upper chiefs feel uneasy, the Anxi Empire paid huge casualties when attacking the capital of the Kushan Empire, and the army of the Han Empire, which was supposed to fight side by side with them, did not take the initiative to invest in it, but took the opportunity to cross the very impenetrable Kush Mountains of Xindu, entered the flat and fertile Indus Valley, and quickly launched a military occupation there, and there were many rich lands, which have now become the territory of the eastern power. This will obviously make the rest of the country very dissatisfied, because they could also launch an attack on the Kushan Empire at the same time from the battlefield on the southern front, and obtain these rich lands, but their national strength is too fragile to allow them to attack from three directions of the other front at the same time, so they took a defensive position on the northern front, and most of the time they silently watched the Eastern Han Dynasty and Khorezm frantically encroach on the Hanzhong region last night.

On the southern front, they did not launch an offensive either, which gave the Han Dynasty troops a great opportunity to occupy most of Pakistan.

However, according to the war logic of the group of Persians, if they can successfully take the capital of the empire, then the rest of the place can naturally be passed on, but unfortunately, the powerful civilization from the Eastern Empire seems to have a completely different logic from them, Suning's army has begun to feast on the rich land resources of the Kushan Empire, and the high annex in the protection of the mountains, although it attracted his attention, but it was only a political attraction, Suning had no intention of throwing any substantial military force in that direction, only a few thousand soldiers of him and Li Yu, guarding important transportation hubs there.

This kind of behavior will naturally cause strong resentment in the Rest Empire, so the conflict between the two will definitely break out, but the Khorezmians will not care about this, it is too far away from their lives, as long as both sides do not tear up the previous covenant, it will not affect them in any way. It's a pity that this idea of theirs is obviously too whimsical.

When a cavalry of the Han Dynasty appeared near Bukhara, all the upper echelons of Khwarazm were clearly aware of a certain fact, if the confrontation between the two powerful empires of the East and the West unfolded on the northern front, then their Khwarazmian people would most likely be involved, and at this time, another group of envoys from Suning appeared in front of them.

This envoy looked very much like the one before him, or they were probably the same person, or at least twin brothers, but this did not matter to the nobles of Khorezm, who only wanted to know what kind of news the distant guest had brought to them.

The message is very simple, Suning's shadow clone is very clear to tell the nobles of Khorezm that the upcoming conflict between the two powerful empires will most likely sweep through their peaceful and harmonious hometown, in order to avoid this tragic situation, he hopes that the Khorezm people can mediate, and the monarch of the Han Dynasty and the army of the Sabbatarian Empire stationed in the Khorasan region can survive this upcoming military conflict safely.

The nobles of Khorezm were stunned by this, they did not know how the two waves of armies could guarantee their safety in a military conflict, but they were soon convinced by the wisdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The envoy pointed out that their soldiers were not prepared to fight at all, but only came here to make a gesture, and they very much hoped that the rest of the imperial army in Khorasan would also understand their current state of mind, and it was best for both sides to have a good chat about how to arrange each other in a neutral position of a third party, so that their respective superiors could think that they had been struggling to support themselves for a long time under the tension of saber-rattling, so that they would not have to pay too many casualties, nor would they have to suffer the punishment of their superiors, as long as the superiors, A new agreement is reached between each other, and all this is over. After all, the empire with a large piece of fat blown by the two squads of the wind cannot start another war at this time, because they need to devote all their energy to the governance of the newly occupied area, otherwise, this battle will be in vain, I believe that the emperors of the two empires have such thoughts.

Khorezm's words every day in Guizhou naturally dawned on his forehead, so they sent an invitation to their old rival who had fought for many years, explaining in detail the benefits and disadvantages, and successfully got the other party's response, so a few days later, the army of Pig Hospitality Khorasan sent a team of envoys to the pastoral area where the Khorezm people graze.

The people of Khorezm were extremely enthusiastic to at least entertain guests from afar, they would not make Xi good wine and meat, those from the Han Dynasty high wine, is their favorite, so they met very happily, they drank Ming tincture drunk, but let the two groups of guests from afar, have the opportunity to meet alone.

The emissaries of Khorasan said that they were also reluctant to fight, that the army had not been paid for months, that there was not enough food, that they had fought a war that had been too protracted, and that they were able to mobilize forces to attack the Kushan Empire, and that their entire country had exhausted all its strength.

Therefore, they very much agreed to the request of the Han army, and were willing to put on some shows on the border to show their superiors, just to be able to survive this imperial crisis perfectly.

So the two sides immediately showed a harmonious appearance, hit it off, and their aspirants danced happily together, but at this time, the Han cavalry, which had been stationed near Bukhara, quietly crossed the territory of the Khorezmians, and their destination, turned to the southwest, and ran directly to Mulu, one of the four central cities in the Khorasan region.

And this is not all of Chen Qingzhi's arrangements, just as this army launched the operation, another army also arrived at the designated position.

They also set out from the Chu River valley in the Ferghana Basin, but they took a direct route to the southwest, and after crossing the Surkhan River valley, they rushed to another central city in the Khorasan region, Balkh.
