In fact, the Peacock King doesn't have much of a choice.

On July 10, the Peacock King made a decision to send 150,000 troops from the front line back to the border. At the same time, an envoy was immediately sent to the city of Derry to prepare for peace talks with Emperor Ashoka.

The Peacock King hopes to stop fighting with the Ashoka Dynasty and unite with the outside world.

"At present, our internal strife and disputes, no matter who wins or loses, it is all Tianzhu's internal affairs, and now the thief Kou Daxia is coming, it is really a foreign enemy, and he is here to steal Tianzhu's territory, so he must be guarded against."

"Your country will stop fighting and reconcile as you wish, I am willing to return the territory of the city, I hope to think deeply, and must not become a sinner of Tianzhu through the ages because of the speed of the moment." The Peacock King said so in his letter of state.

The words are earnest, and the grace is combined.

In order to stop the fighting, the Peacock King even did not hesitate to return the territory that Yiying had occupied.

Only if the two sides stop fighting, can the Mauryan Dynasty withdraw more troops from the front line to resist the invasion of Great Xia, otherwise, the Mauryan Dynasty will not be able to stop the tiger and wolf army of Great Xia at all.

In the face of survival and expansion, the Peacock King naturally chooses the former.

The Mauryan Empire had great expectations for this peace talks, after all, in his opinion, if he could easily conquer all the lost territories without spending a single soldier, it would definitely be a big temptation for Ashoka.

For this reason, the Peacock King even sent a letter to King Gupta to persuade King Gupta to give up the territory he occupied and jointly resist the invasion of Great Xia, saying: "Great Xia is the army of tigers and wolves, and his appetite is very great, so we should advance and retreat together." ”

Although the two dynasties belong to different camps, there should be a consensus on the treatment of Great Xia.

Sure enough, King Gupta quickly replied that he would send an envoy to Delhi to discuss the matter of making peace.

In this way, the weight of the peace talks immediately increased.

The only thing that made the Peacock King suspicious was that King Gupta only said in his reply that he wanted peace talks, and did not make it clear that he wanted to return the occupied territories.

The Peacock King can also understand King Gupta's thoughts.

The main body of the Gupta Dynasty was on the Deccan Plateau, and the territory of the Ashoka Dynasty was currently occupied, which was the most fertile, and it was of great significance to the Gupta Dynasty, and it was not something that could be easily said to be given up.

Moreover, Great Xia is not using troops against the Gupta Dynasty at the moment, and the Gupta King is naturally not so eager.

The Peacock King is not easy to persuade, so he can only wait and see what happens, he believes that after three years of endurance, Daxia suddenly sent Tianzhu, which is by no means untargeted.

The next big war may be beyond everyone's imagination.

The Gupta dynasty could never really be left alone, and when that time came, the Gupta king would definitely wake up.

Especially when he thought of the sudden return of one million prisoners of war from the Ashoka Dynasty in Great Xia, a trace of indelible clouds flashed in the eyes of the Peacock King.

He vaguely felt that Daxia might have been doing Tianzhu for a long time.

"The wind is blowing!"

Thinking of Tianzhu's infighting for a year and a half, the Peacock King shuddered.

…………

Ashoka, Delhi City.

As the only royal city in Tianzhu, the momentum of Delhi City is not lost to any royal city in Huaxia District, and it even has its unique charm because of the pattern of ninety-nine to one.

Looking at the world, it is also a first-class heroic city.

In July, the city of Delhi, because of the sudden invasion of the Mauryan Dynasty in Great Xia, became lively, and in just two days, two envoys came to the city of Delhi with great fanfare.

This is the trick of the Peacock King.

In this way, he wants to spread the signal of the peace talks throughout the city of Delhi in order to win the support of public opinion and increase the bargaining chips for the peace talks.

Normally, the Peacock King's response is quite appropriate, and there is no problem.

The only problem was that Great Xia was one step ahead of the Mauryan Empire, and half a month before the Mauryan Dynasty sent an envoy delegation, the Great Xia envoy group had quietly arrived in Delhi City.

Today, Great Xia's use of diplomatic means has long been as pure as fire, and the global dynasty cannot match it.

The Bactria envoys brought goodwill and threatened to cooperate with the Ashoka Dynasty to defeat the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty in one fell swoop. This proposal is exactly what Ashoka had in mind.

With the current strength of the Ashoka Dynasty, it can barely support the alliance of the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty, but it is still insufficient to truly annihilate the two dynasties.

If Great Xia is willing to come forward, it will naturally be decided by a war.

As a result, the two sides happily signed the covenant, and Bactria even sent Zhang Yi, the secretary of Honglu Temple, to personally attend the covenant signing ceremony to show respect for the Ashoka dynasty.

This, of course, pleased Ashoka.

The cooperation between the two sides even has a tendency to develop towards a "honeymoon period".

Therefore, when the Mauryan envoys arrived in Delhi City, although they made a trick, they were unsurprisingly closed.

Not to mention seeing Ashoka, I didn't even see the face of an important minister.

That's embarrassing!

The envoys came with great expectations, but they could only rush back to their lives.

A farce, before it even began, ended in nothing.

Not only that, but on the same day that the Mauryan envoys arrived in Delhi, the Ashoka army intensified its offensive on the front line without showing any mercy.

The Mauryan Empire's withdrawal of 150,000 troops from the front line gave the Ashoka Dynasty a chance.

Great Xia sent a heavy army to attack the Mauryan Empire, which confirmed the promise made half a month ago, how could Ashoka negotiate peace with the Mauryan Empire, and was only satisfied with recovering the lost territory.

What Ashoka wants is most of Tianzhu.

In order to confuse Ashoka, Bactria even stated in the covenant that when Tianzhu was divided in the future, Bactria only needed the territory of the Gupta Dynasty to give the fat of the Mauryan Dynasty to the Ashoka Dynasty.

"Great Xia occupies Tianzhu only to control the Indian Ocean." The messenger swore an oath.

Although Ashoka was skeptical, he was still very excited to hear this partition plan, if he could occupy all two days of the Mauryan Dynasty, the Ashoka Dynasty would not only be able to recover, but also go to the next level.

…………

The Peacock King, who got the news, was disappointed.

In the face of the left and right attacks of the Ashoka Dynasty and Bactria Dynasty, the Mauryan Dynasty could not withstand it at all, and could only hope for the assistance of its ally Gupta Dynasty.

It's a pity that Great Xia has already reached this point.

On 15 July, the Southern Route Army of Great Xia, escorted by the Indian Ocean Fleet, landed on the eastern coast of the Gupta Dynasty, leaving the Gupta Dynasty with no time to take care of anything else.

Like the Mauryan Empire, the Gupta Dynasty's army suffered heavy losses after a year and a half of great war, and its strength plummeted to less than 700,000, more than half of which were sent to the front.

Because in the eyes of the Gupta king, it was unlikely that Bactria coveted the Gupta dynasty, which was located in the hilly terrain.

Even if you want to fight, it will be the Peacock Dynasty first.

As it turned out, King Gupta was not right in his judgment, and the Mauryan Empire was indeed the first to be attacked.

The problem is that Great Xia's appetite is extremely large, and it is aimed at the entire Tianzhu District, and the Gupta Dynasty is naturally not immune. The expedition of the Southern Route Army of Great Xia completely broke King Gupta to reinforce the Mauryan Dynasty.

For a time, the pattern of Tianzhu District ushered in new changes, from the previous 1V2 of the Ashoka Dynasty to a 2V2 epic showdown.
