Defeat on the battlefield often leads to an even greater rout in the hearts and minds of the people.

Faced with the weak Qin army, the Sassanids did not dare to fight in the field, and the outcome of this great war was already doomed.

The envoys of all the countries and tribes of Central Asia gathered in the tent of the Chinese army in Du Pre.

"The Great Qin Sea embraces all rivers, and this westward expansion is intended to promote the prestige of our Great Qin, maintain the east-west trade route, and make Huaxia Ze cover the people of this side and share peace!" Du pre-warmed vocal tract.

Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the system of suzerains and vassals has been very perfect.

It means that as long as you recognize Zhongyuan as the eldest brother and accept the canonization of the imperial court, everyone will live a good life together.

You know, the mainstream of this age is conquest and killing.

I come, I see, I conquer.

It's the Romans.

And the Persians are more ferocious, the four ancient civilizations, three of them were destroyed in their hands, since the Shang Dynasty, they have bad intentions towards China, and there is a saying in later generations that the foreign invasion that women are good to resist is actually the Aryan Persians.

The law of the jungle, the wanton slaughter of small countries by large countries, even in future generations.

Unless the big country is full, or looks down on the poor territory of the small country.

Huaxia provides another possibility, as long as you identify with Huaxia, everyone can live in a circle.

"Can Great Qin protect us from the oppression of the Sassanids?" Sogdian Ammikot.

"In this war, you should see the bravery of the Great Qin soldiers, and the westward advance of the Great Qin is precisely to establish a new order and law." Du met the Sogdians when he was in Daxing.

They were the most active merchants on the East-West trade route, and some of the big merchants even bought mansions in Daxing City.

Historically, the Sogdians also continued to move eastward.

The most valuable basin on the Green Ridge is Dawan, and the other is Tocharian to the south.

It is inhabited by a large number of Sogdian, Yanqi, Yueshi, Tianzhu and Qiuzi tribes.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Sogdian merchants introduced wheat from West Asia to the Central Plains.

"Daqin is here, he won't retreat, right?" Chief Guizihao said in the white mud.

This kind of thing has happened a few times, the second division general Li Guangli attacked Dawan twice, and ended up without a problem, Chen Tang, Gan Yanshou sent all the national soldiers and Wuji Captain Tuntian to attack Kangju, Zhu Zhi Zhishan Yu, attacked Wusun, Dawan, and was impeached by Kuang Heng, the prime minister who chiseled the wall and stole the light, and the Han army retreated again.

It's not that they don't know the strength of the Central Plains, it's that the Central Plains don't seem to have much interest in this place.

In case they surrender to Daqin today and Daqin runs away tomorrow, they will be liquidated by the Sassanids.

"There is the Xia Kingdom to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the west of the Green Mountains, and another country will be set up in the future, you can rest assured that Daqin will never be untrustworthy." In Du Pre's conception, the Xia Kingdom, Hezhong, and Dawan were three-legged to avoid the strength of one family being too strong, thus threatening the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

During this period, Great Qin's combat power was the best in the world, but once the Central Plains was peaceful, its combat effectiveness would plummet.

Central Asia is fighting every day, and Xia has the support of the Central Plains, and the strength of one will be greatly enhanced.

"If this is the case, we Sogdians are willing to follow Daqin!"

"We, the Yue Clan, are also willing to follow Daqin!"

……

Since they came to meet Du Pre, it means that they are more anxious.

These tribes and small countries are sandwiched between the Sasanian, Kushan, and Great Qin, and they always have to find a big brother......

Sassanid is a high-pressure strategy of the caste, and the Kushan has long been in decline, internal and external troubles, the west is overwhelmed by the Sassanid living space, and the local power of Tianzhu in the southeast is rising.

Only Daqin can give them a glimmer of life.

With the support of these tribes, the Qin army's offensive was smoother.

As long as the banner of the Qin army appears under the city, round after round of rebellion will break out in the city, and the city gate will be opened to meet the Qin army.

The core area of the Sassanids is in the valley of the two rivers, and the importance of the Mediterranean and Khorasan is far greater than that of the river.

More and more tribes saw the Sassanid people's external strength and middle strength, and did not hesitate to throw themselves into the arms of Great Qin.

The governor of the river, Bahram, simply abandoned the other cities and gathered heavily in Bukhara, the capital of the river, to strictly control the tribes under his command and ask for reinforcements from Khorasan.

Except for a few cities south of Bukhara, the rest of the river fell into the hands of the Qin army.

The tribes led by the Bada, Yueshi, and Sogdians assembled a force of 50,000 foot cavalry.

Khotan again sent 8,000 cavalry to cross the Green Ridge to assist Daqin.

"There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. It's not just the river that the Sassanids are going to lose this time! "Wen Yang has been fighting for many years, and he can also say two sentences of the art of war.

The situation has completely turned in Daqin's favor.

Du Zhen smiled: "Outsiders can only take advantage of the situation, but not the strength, now that I am Daqin, they will support us, stain some oil and water, once they encounter a real tough battle, these people will be at both ends." ”

"What Du Hu said is very true, the only thing we can rely on is the knife in our hands!" Yin Chun planted it once and remembered it deeply.

"Why do I, Great Qin, need to borrow their power? According to the following proposal, you might as well order all the troops to help besiege Bukhara, and our army will take Khorasan directly, and bring all this land under the rule of Great Qin! "Wen Yang has the capital to be arrogant.

On the sand table, Khorasan sits in the middle of the river, Tochar, the Persian highlands, and the Kushan.

To take this place would mean to cut off the Sassanid hand that was reaching for Central Asia.

Tianzhu in the south, Tocharian in the east, and Hezhong in the north have all become the food in the mouth of Great Qin.

With the current strength of Great Qin in Central Asia, plus the Xia Kingdom in the north, it is completely possible to compete with the Sassanids.

Alexander's army of 40,000 Macedonians was slaughtered from west to east.

The Qin army was more than 40,000 troops in Central Asia.

However, Wenyang's method is a one-shot deal.

The Persians were in decline, and now the Persians are at their strongest.

Great Qin will be dragged into a bigger war.

The river is the leftover material of the Sassanid Dynasty, and the capture of this place by Great Qin is a cut of meat for them, but if it attacks Khorasan, it is a knife in the heart of the Sasanian.

To the south of Khorasan is the Persian Highlands (Iranian Highlands), the homeland of the Sassanid Empire......

How can people not come to play with their lives?

Geographically, the whole of Central Asia is like a big basin.

It is surrounded by the mountains of Green Ridge, Hindu Kush, Alborz and so on.

The Sassanid Dynasty could be condescending and maintain a long-term strategic advantage over Khorasan, just as the Tang Dynasty did to Tibet in history.

Du Yu is the top strategist of Daqin, so he naturally understands it.

Moreover, who would benefit the most from defeating Khorasan and falling into an all-out war with the Sassanids?

The Romans, of course.

Sandpiper mussels compete with each other for fishermen's profits, and they will eat the Sassanid from the Mediterranean and the Caucasus......

Neither the powerful Sassanid nor the powerful Rome were in the interests of Great Qin in Central Asia.

"General Wen is worthy of being the first fierce general of Great Qin, but our army has just arrived in the west of the Green Mountains, its strength is limited, and Khorasan is remote, so it is difficult for our army to compete with Sasan." Du Yu's words are like a spring breeze.

No matter how irritable the general is, he has no temper in front of him.

"Then, our army can feint to attack Khorasan and contain Sassan!"
