The Sassanid general Phildusi led 50,000 elite soldiers to Fulousha in secret.

The Kushans who passed along the way, according to the orders of Jitara, gave him the green light all the way, so that the Persians could pass smoothly.

The movement of 50,000 soldiers and horses is difficult to cover, even if there are Kushan people to cover it, but the Wei army is full of soldiers and horses within a radius of 100 miles of Fulou Shacheng, and the wind and grass in this area cannot escape their eyes!

Therefore, when the Persian army marched to a place less than a hundred miles away from Fulousha City, there were already scouts from the Wei army who hurriedly went to tell Ran Min.

Ran Min had already guessed what Ji Duo Luo was going to do, so he immediately made a decision, planned the plan, used himself as bait, and slept with a few beauties who Ji Duo Luo Jin presented in broad daylight, but on the one hand, he also began to dispatch troops and send generals with great fanfare.

At this time, the secret dispatch of troops has already had some meaning of covering up and stealing the bell. Therefore, Ran Min did not hide it at all, and directly pulled the army outside the city, leaving only more than 10,000 iron cavalry in the city, known as 50,000 horses and horses.

Knowing of the Wei army's actions, Jidora thought that the opportunity could not be lost, so he decisively led the army to besiege the palace and wanted to capture Ran Min.

However, when Ji Duoluo broke into the palace with soldiers and horses, he killed the Wei soldiers along the way very smoothly, and when he came to the dormitory of Ran Min, he only saw his queen, daughter and granddaughter, and Ran Min had already disappeared!

Jidora asked tremblingly, "What about the people of Ran Min?" ”

"Slipped out a long time ago."

"What?! Why didn't anyone tell me! ”

His queen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you realized it yet? Your so-called eyeliner has long been monitored by the Wei people, and all you get is fake news. In the morning, a few of us were placed under house arrest here, and we didn't see Ran Min's figure! ”

At this moment, a general hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Oh no, Your Majesty! The Wei army has all withdrawn from the city! ”

"What?!" Ji Duoluo said in shock: "Didn't you let you spy on the Wei army?" How could you let them go? ”

The general replied: "Your Majesty, the Wei army has already taken over the defense of Fulou Shacheng, they want to run, who of us can stop it?" ”

Tora's heart chuckled, could he really have been fooled?

Not long after, news came worse for Todora.

The Persian army marching towards Fulou Shacheng was not resisted by the Wei army, but rushed all the way unimpeded, and it was already less than ten miles away from Fulou Shacheng!

And the Wei army seems to have withdrawn.

Soon, Phildusi led 50,000 elite Persian soldiers to the city of Fulousha and demanded that Doro open the gates and let them in. However, he was afraid that the Persians would "make a false path" and did not dare to open the city gates, so he let the Persian army be stationed outside.

Phildusy was furious and wanted to order the army to attack Fulousha City, but because there were no siege equipment, he had to swallow his anger and let the army be stationed outside the city.

At this time, the Wei army had withdrawn to Peshawar and was stationed, waiting to see what happened.

……

Khorezm, the capital city of Urtench.

Sima Xu was ordered to come here and persuade Khorasan, the king of Khorezm, to submit to the Wei Empire. At the beginning, Khorasan was afraid of the strength of the Wei Empire and the might of the Wei army, and first greeted Sima Xu with warmth and respect, and then suddenly changed his attitude and became lax and cold.

Sima Xu relied on his own sensitivity, and estimated that there must be a reason.

Sima Xu said to the thirty-six retinues he had brought with him: "Khorasan was at first courteous to us for their arrival, and when it came to attaching himself to the empire, although he talked about him left and right, he did not lose his courtesy, but now his attitude has gradually become cold, and I suspect that he was instructed by the Persians, or that the Persian envoys had already arrived in Urtenchi and had come into contact with Khorasan. ”

One of his subordinates said angrily: "This Khorasan is really not a thing! A little Khorezm, dare to be so left and right? Can't he see which is stronger or weaker between the empire and the Sassanid Empire? ”

Hearing this, Sima Xu shook his head and said: "The Sassanid Dynasty is the overlord of Central Asia, and I heard that Khorezm pays tribute to the Persians every year to show submission, so it is understandable that Khorasan wants to be left and right, and even favor the side of the Sassanid Dynasty. After all, the empire is tens of thousands of miles away, and the whip is beyond the reach, which makes Khorezm not very impressed. And the Khorezmian people still remember the power of the Persians. In any case, Khorezm was once a province of the Persians. ”

Khorezm is located in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River and on the southern shore of the Aral Sea, on the land of modern Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

Khorezm is a dry zone surrounded by the Kyzylkum Desert in the east and the Karakum Desert in the south. The abundant water resources of the Amu Darya River provided it with the convenience of irrigation, and Khorezm became a highly developed area for agricultural production.

However, Khorezm was often controlled by powerful empires. In ancient times, it was a province of the Persian Empire, and around the middle of the fourth century BC, it became an independent state. It was later controlled by the Kushan Empire in India. In the third century, the Sassanid Empire of Persia regained control of Khorezm.

That's why Khorezm is still a vassal state of the Sassanid Empire!

Even in later generations, Khwarazm was conquered by the Arab Empire, ruled by the Seljuk Turks, and conquered by Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire. In 1388, it was conquered by the Timurid Empire and later returned to Persian rule!

In such a country, there is really no temperance at all, but the Khorezmian people still survived tenaciously.

In the long river of history, so many empires and nations that ruled Khorezm have perished, but the Khorezm people still have not died out, which is not amazing!

"What are you going to do, sir?"

"We have to act. Find out where the messengers of the Persians are, and as a last resort, we will force Khorezm to fall to the side of the Empire! ”

Sima Xu said that he would do it, and soon found the building where the Persian envoy was.

Sima Xu led his soldiers straight to the residence of the Persian envoy.

When the wind was blowing, Sima Xu ordered ten men to hide behind the Persian house with drums, and when they saw the fire, they beat the war drums and shouted loudly. and ordered the others to lie in ambush on both sides of the door with swords, guns, bows, and crossbows.

The arrangement was completed, Sima Xu set fire to the wind, and for a while, thirty-seven people were clamoring before and after, and the momentum was noisy.

The Persians were in disarray and had no way to escape.

Sima Xu personally killed five Persians, his men also killed more than sixty people, and the rest of the Persians were burned to the fire.

So Sima Xu invited Khorasan, the king of Khorezm, to show him the head of the Persian envoy, and Khorasan was shocked and the whole country was terrified. Sima Xu's kind words soothed him, and Khorasan expressed his willingness to join the Wei Empire, and agreed to send the prince to Daliang as a proton.
