    "After the death of Kanishaka I a few years ago, his successor Huvishka became the new generation king of the Kushan Empire However, he did not have the skills of his father. During his reign, he quickly gained control over all parts of Central Asia.  Weakened. This directly led to the preparation of Dawan, Kangju, Huarizmo and other countries to get rid of the vassal control of the Kushan Empire. From this, it can be seen that he is a person with little ability and cannot defend Chengdu.  It¡¯s not surprising at all to send someone to sue for peace this time,¡± Gao Yang explained to the many generals in the room with a wine glass in his hand.  "Who is this Kushan Empire? Aren't they Da Yueshi people? Why are they Kushan people again?" Taishi Ci, who comes from the coast of the East China Sea, has no understanding of these countries and peoples thousands of miles away, and even  Never even heard of it.  Gao Yang smiled and put down his wine glass, took out a cigarette and lit it. He looked at the curious eyes of the large number of generals in the room and said with a smile, "The Da Yueshi were originally active in the Qinghai area. No, I'm sorry. I said it wrong. It's in the west."  Active in the Liang area, they were extremely powerful and were the fierce enemies of the Huns at their peak. However, later the Huns' generation of genius Maodun Chanyu completely defeated the Dayue clan, killed their king, and used the king's head to make the most powerful weapon.  The noble wine vessels showed off their martial prowess. The greatly reduced Da Yueshi had no choice but to move westward and take root in the Mesopotamia under the oppression of the Huns. They also conquered the Bactria Kingdom on the south bank of the Amu Darya River.  This country is a country formed by the descendants of the Greeks who colonized Central Asia in the far west. It is called the Kingdom of Bactria. This is not important for the time being. Let¡¯s not talk about it.¡± Gao Yang took a hard puff of his cigarette and continued, ¡°Da Yuezhi.  There are five large tribes, called the Five Shehous. One of them, the Kushan tribe, rose rapidly more than a hundred years ago and became the strongest among the Dayue clan and the king of the Dayue clan.  The tribe established the Kushan Empire after conquering the Mesopotamia. The emperor of the Kushan Empire was also the king of the various tribes of the Dayue clan. " "So that's how it is."  The generals all showed understanding expressions.  This story has some twists and turns.  It's actually all related to the huge war hundreds of years ago.  "Don't underestimate them." Gao Yang's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice, "They are different from those small countries in the Western Regions. They are a real big country, on the same level as the Xianbei people. They have hundreds of thousands of armored men under their command.  And the national strength is still there. We must not underestimate it. " "I think it seems that there is a record in Ban Dingyuan's biography that King Guishang asked for a princess of Han Dynasty, but Ban Dingyuan then sent 100,000 troops to attack the Western Regions, and was rejected by Ban Dingyuan.  Yuan was defeated and then asked for peace. Ban Dingyuan never knew the name of King Guishang and only called him King Yuezhi. It turned out that this King of Yuezhi was the emperor of Guishang Empire.  Holding a wine glass.  He said with a longing look on his face.  "Yeah." Gao Yang nodded and said in response, "Ban Dingyuan is talking about them." "How do these expensive people compare with those Xianbei people? When I played against them before, I didn't feel they were any better than the people from the Western Regions.  Where are you going?" Xu Zhu, a tall man, asked in confusion.  "Not as good as the Xianbei people." Gao Yang summed it up simply.  "Oh~" The civil and military personnel in the room immediately responded.  This is the confidence in my heart.  "The war is fierce and dangerous. We must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically!" Gao Yang raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone.  At the same time, this topic was ended: Malakanda is the name of the ancient city, which is the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan in modern time and space.  This is a must-pass point for the Silk Road, with developed commerce and a large population. It is an extremely important stronghold of the Kushan Empire.  To the north of this city are Khwarezm and Kangju.  To the east is Dawan and to the west is the Amu Darya River.  Because of its important location, the emperor of the Kushan Empire gave the city to the Xiumi tribe among the five tribes of the Dayue clan as its territory.  After the Han army settled in Dayuan and began to send troops westward, this place became the first choice target of the Han army!  There were no ups and downs in the Battle of Marakanda. The powerful Han army surrounded and annihilated the desperate Xiumi tribe in Marakanda step by step.  There are endless internal conflicts among the five major tribes of Dayue clan. The Xiumi tribe, which controls the fat and oily Silk Road, has always been hated by other tribes.  This time he was attacked by the Han Dynasty army.  Almost no one is willing to help them.  Even the new emperor of the Kushan Empire is like this.  These short-sighted guys all hope that the Han army and the Xiumi tribe will both suffer losses and then reap the benefits.  I don't even understand what it means to have cold lips and teeth.  The politically immature Huvishka easily completely shattered the situation in which various tribes were reluctant to work together that his father had painstakingly managed.  When the Han army turned around and attacked elsewhere, no one would take the initiative to rescue them.  After occupying Maracanda, Gao Yang quickly established a forward command here.The troops under his command spread out and attacked in all directions.  Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others led nearly 100,000 cavalry northward to sweep Kangju and Khwarezm.  They are not required to occupy much land, as long as they drive all the indigenous people there northward into the vast desert.  Zhao Yun and others lived up to expectations and drove all the barbarians from the north into the desert north of the Aral Sea in just two months.  As for the south, Cao Cong led his army all the way south across the Amu Darya River and invaded Lanshi City, the former capital of Daxia, and surrounded and annihilated the Shuangmi tribe among the five tribes of Dayuezhi in one fell swoop.  At the same time, the Pangdun tribe, which came to the rescue and had a close relationship with the Shuangmi tribe, was severely damaged by encirclement and rescue measures.  At this point, except for the Kushan tribe who gathered in the high-affiliated city of the country, Kabul.  and beyond the Dumi tribe as far south as Punjab.  The main force of Da Yueshi has been defeated.  Because Cao Cao¡¯s army is approaching Kabul.  Huvishka, who finally panicked, ordered the entire army to be recruited to prepare for a decisive battle with the Han army.  It's a pity that by this time it's too late.  The Han army, almost all of which were cavalry, moved like the wind. In a short period of time, they had dismembered the Kushan Empire into pieces.  All the vassal states have been defeated, various resistance forces have taken advantage of the situation, and the country is in chaos.  Cao Cao, who was thoughtful, slowed down his attack.  After letting Huvishka summon all the troops he could muster to Gaofu City, he suddenly attacked. He quickly attacked along the foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains and surrounded Kabul City and the nearly 100,000 Kushan Emperor troops.  After ten days of bloody battle, Huvishka lit a fire in his palace in Gaofu City and burned his entire family and palace to the ground.  The tens of thousands of remaining Kuishang Emperor troops put down their weapons and chose to surrender.  At this point, the Kushan Empire, known as one of the four great powers in Europe and Asia, alongside the Han Dynasty, Rome, and Parthia, disappeared.  Out of the five major tribes, the Dayue clan, which is the fourth, also exists in name only.  In addition to the Dumi tribe in the southern Punjab, the Dayue clan also disappeared in the long river of history with the collapse of the Kushan Empire.  From a normal point of view, Gao Yang expanded thousands of miles of territory during this expedition and robbed more than a million people.  All kinds of goods and livestock are not counted.  It is definitely a glorious victory of epic proportions. It is inevitable that it will leave its name in history and be passed down through the ages.  After making such a brilliant achievement, it stands to reason that it is time for the master to return to the court, laden with honors, to enjoy the glorious glory of the victor.  However, Gao Yang knew what he wanted.  He also knew that these lands that seemed to be surrendered now would inevitably be turbulent after the army left.  There is no shortage of careerists in this world.  Gao Yang did not think that the defeat of the Kushan Empire was the end. In fact, it was just the beginning.  Gaoyang will gather a large number of people from the Kushan Empire.  Whether they were people from the Great Yuezhi, descendants of Greek colonists, or simply poisonous people, they all gathered together and built a wide avenue that ran through the original Silk Road under the supervision of the army.  Prepare to be connected to the road that is also being built on the ground in the Western Region.  At the same time, a large number of garrison troops from China continued to be deployed to garrison here.  Because it occupied a large number of horse-producing areas, the Han Empire now had a huge horse herd that had never been seen before.  Millions of horses pulled four-wheeled carriages equipped with rubber tires and steel springs, shuttling back and forth between the mainland of the Han Empire and various governor-general offices and governor-general areas.  Gao Yang himself also used the storage space to arrange a large amount of materials in various places, allowing the Eurasian continental passage around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to be quickly built.  There are roads and people.  Only then can this vast and fertile land be truly in our hands.  Cao Cao¡¯s army stopped moving south after capturing Fulousha City, also known as Peshawar, south of Gaofu City.  To the south is the vast South Asian subcontinent, and Gao Yang has no plans to continue marching southward for the time being.  There are many people there and the place is big.  It takes a lot of time to conquer.  Gao Yang had no interest in trapping the main army there.  After Huangfusong, the first Central Asian governor-general of Huailihou, entered the capital of Dawan, Gao Yang gave Huangfusong the task of conquering Shendu in the south.  Gao Yang himself continued westward with hundreds of thousands of the main force of the Han Empire, which was fully equipped with strength, and invaded the Iranian Plateau in one fell swoop. "This is the Parthian Empire, one of the four major powers in Asia and Europe? The place where Zhang Qian once served as an envoy  ?" Gao Yang asked in disbelief as he looked at Mulu City that was engulfed in a sea of ??fire.  This is a place where the Chinese army has never been before in history.  Today, their footprints remain here!  "That's right, this is the Parthian Empire." Yuan Dian said in response.  "Huh~" Looking at Mulu City in the distance surrounded by flames and thick smoke, Gao Yang let out a heavy breath and said dissatisfiedly, "What the hell is Cao Cao doing? How can we inhabit the city with the city burned like this? Do we want all the troops to live there?"  Not in the wild?¡±?Who knows?  "Yuan Dian said nonchalantly, "Perhaps the Parthians resisted too fiercely, and Cao Cao might have directly attacked with fire as soon as he got angry.  "(To be continued.)
