Chapter 258: Awakening of Kushan
After sending the Yulin Army to protect Chen Xi and others and returning to Luoyang, Guo Hao also embarked on a journey to other battlefields to provide support. A stalemate on the battlefield was not what he wanted. Now that he had , if he could not quell these rebellious armies as soon as possible, who knows what kind of trouble would arise at that time.
The presence of the Northern Huns in the first battle in the Western Regions has already explained a lot of problems. If the Northern Huns really wanted to cause trouble for the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the current Han Dynasty would not be so easy to resist.
What Guo Hao didn't know was that the Northern Huns had already started to cause trouble for them.
Knowing that they were not strong enough, the Northern Huns kept recruiting people from the northern grasslands and then sent them to the battlefield in Great Britain as mercenaries.
As the mixed Hu people who have been sandwiched between the two empires for many years, to be honest, they have no fear of the empire at all. No matter how powerful the Han Empire and the Xiongnu Empire are, they are still alive. It's just that they are full of fear of the two empires due to their blood.
The reason why the Hu people often looted the border was not entirely because of food problems, but more because the Northern Huns would send some people to provoke the Hu people and let them gather a large army to loot the border. The Northern Huns also wanted to use this method to stimulate the blood of the mixed Hu people and replenish them into their Northern Huns.
Otherwise, with the mixed Hu people being treated as five Hu people by a crazy Han, how could they have the courage to gather a large army to attack Yanmen and other places? To put it bluntly, it was the Northern Huns who were behind the scenes.
The Northern Huns and Great Britain reached the same employment agreement as the Parthians. After all, in terms of cavalry, the Northern Huns and the Zaohu were indeed far ahead of the European barbarians. Even the light of the West, Rome, was mainly composed of short-legged legions. Not to mention an empire like Great Britain, which had very few cavalry.
The Zaohu people had no idea about empires like Rome. In their view, as long as the opponent was not the Han-Xiongnu Empire, they were not afraid of anyone.
Relying on the swift cavalry, the logistical pressure on the Roman battlefield in Britain increased greatly, causing great trouble to Rome. The Huns also relied on this employment agreement to madly increase their military strength.
Arati had already made up his mind to give it a try. The world was too small. All the places that the high priest had discovered were suitable for the Huns to thrive and reproduce. If they did not fight a final battle with the Han Dynasty, the Huns would really be extinct within a hundred years.
Maybe they would not be completely exterminated, but the Huns, having lost the glory of the Hun Empire, would be reduced to garbage like the barbarians, which he could never accept.
Finally, driven crazy by the pressure, Alati decided to burn his boats and use all the power he could to hone himself, and then fight a desperate battle with the Han Dynasty.
The Roman Empire was in trouble. They had been fighting with Great Britain for a long time, but the Huns mobilized the entire country to take sides on the British battlefield. Moreover, the barbarian legions that Rome relied on the most could not be used against Great Britain. For a while, the battlefield was terribly passive.
Even Rome had to stop its harassment of the Parthian Empire and concentrate on dealing with the pressure brought to them by the combined forces of Britain and the Huns.
The Parthian King Vologases V was also extremely courageous. Facing internal and external troubles, he sent a group of young generals determined to serve his country, including Ardashir and Achaemenides, to the battlefield in Britain.
Almost all powerful empires in Eurasia were in trouble, with only one exception, the Kushan Empire.
The chaotic surroundings made the Kushan Emperor Vasudeva I extremely panicked. All the major empires were making trouble, but why was it only their empire that was splitting into north and south? Did this mean that their Kushan Empire had been expelled from the imperial sequence?
Make trouble, make trouble, if you don't make trouble, you are not an empire. With this idea in mind, and also in order to divert the pressure of the north-south confrontation in the country, Vasudeva I decisively began to send armies from the north and south to attack the surrounding areas.
There was no way out. The Military Soul Corps was defeated in the last confrontation. If he didn’t think of a solution, he would just have to stay on the throne and wait for death.
As a result, when he really ordered the North and the South to start conquering, he was surprised to find that his throne seemed to be becoming more and more stable. Although the North and the South still quarreled frequently, it was much better than directly preparing for war .
Vasudeva I, who was already troubled by the confrontation between the North and the South, understood the spirit of his ancestors' conquests from the actions of the surrounding empires. He said that when he was a child he always felt that there were gods, so why did his ancestors go to war and conquer everywhere? Wouldn't it be better for him to control the surrounding countries through religion?
Now Vasudeva I realized that war was the best means to divert internal pressure of the empire. As long as it was not his own country that suffered, it didn't matter who suffered.
He talked about how Rome, Parthia, the Han Dynasty, and the Huns were fighting every day. It turned out that this was the correct way to open an empire.
Without saying a word, Vessudeva activated the state machinery. The navy was frantically building ships, and the army was frantically conquering and fighting wars.
Along the way, countless foreign states, small countries, and tribes were crushed by the Kushan army. The scope of the Kushan Empire expanded all the way, and the domestic environment became more and more stable. Vasudeva became more and more satisfied with this situation and began to realize the beauty of the empire's iron fist.
After realizing that the fiercer he fought, the more stable his position would be, Vasudeva I went crazy. He said, "No matter whether you are a Brahmin or a Kshatriya, I will kill anyone who stops me from starting a war."
After killing several Brahmins, no one opposed Vesudeva's will. After destroying more than a dozen small countries and gaining unprecedented benefits, the Brahmins, having tasted the sweetness, no longer opposed Vesudeva and directly began to help Vesudeva launch wars.
As a result, the Kushan Empire, which had been in turmoil and seemed to be on the verge of splitting up at any time, successfully revived, and the Khwarezmian region, which had originally refused to obey orders, began to change its mind. This kind of violent and iron-blooded style was the empire they were willing to be loyal to.
Under this virtuous cycle, Vasudeva I became more and more ferocious, and his aura became stronger day by day. One day, his talent as a monarch was completely sublimated and born. This wave of operations made countless capable soldiers see hope, and they all joined Vasudeva I.
After Hurar, who was originally supported by the south, and Arvind, who was originally supported by the north, both declared their allegiance to Vasudeva I, Shuanggui completely suppressed all internal discordant voices and truly began to unleash the potential of an empire.
As a very skilled diplomat, Vasudeva I directly mobilized the navy to start selling arms to the west. The more chaotic the war in the west, the more opportunities Kushan would have to develop. Otherwise, what would Kushan do if either Parthia or Rome won and turned around to attack them?
However, Vasudeva I's main focus was to help Rome. After all, there was a blood feud between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu, and they did not want the Xiongnu to become stronger.
