Capital, Luoyang.

After several years of continuous construction, the majestic Luoyang Forbidden City has finally completely restored its former majesty.

Every time Napanto comes to Luoyang, he can feel the unparalleled demeanor of the world's No. 1 city.

Whether it was the strong and wide city walls or this magnificent palace, they all brought him a deep sense of oppression from the bottom of their hearts.

But this time in Luoyang, this sense of pressure that makes people dare not look directly on the face brought a firm sense of security to Na Pantuo.

As the first Western Regions to be loyal to Emperor Dakhan, Na Pantuo is now one of the prime ministers of King Raliang of Dakhan Pingxi Ranliang, and is considered to be a complete song of turning over serfs.

In the past, the boss of Hong Shang saw that Shi Pantuo had to bend down to salute.

As a member of Emperor Dakhan's young guard, Ran Liang became the first foreign vassal of the Dakhan Dynasty to explore the Western Regions. Not only did he have Olympic aid to protect the Han army in the Western Regions and Anxi, Emperor Dakhan also personally awarded him the title of "King of Pingxi".

The members of the entire Ran Liang Group were very happy to have their account banned.

King of Heaven, you don’t mean that as long as it is the western border, it belongs to the King of Heaven.

Today, the East-West trade route is becoming a wealth path for gold and silver flowing.

The longer the trade route takes up, the more benefits you get.

Therefore, the soldiers under Ran Liang's King of Heaven were trying their best to expand their territory everywhere.

At present, the Pingxi County of the Ran family has covered a vast area of ​​southeastern Kangju, Bao Shiyu, Dayuan, and Guishan Pa. If it weren't for the snow-capped mountain plateau in the south, Ran Liang would have sent troops south to recover the Murong Xianbei.

However, the steep mountain pass was controlled by the Murong Xianbei, and Ran Liang's Pingxi Army could only expand its territory elsewhere.

This expansionism of emerging forces quickly caused trouble for itself.

It is precisely because of this time that Napantuo came to Luoyang this time.

In the palace.

Liu Yu, who had just finished the competition, finally let the Nashi Pantuo, who had been waiting for most of the day, come in.

After saluting, Liu Yu asked first.

"Naxipanta, did you pay tribute in advance when you came to Luoyang this time?"

The weather was particularly cold after this autumn. Liu Yu thought it was from Pingxi in advance and came to Luoyang early because he was afraid of the wind and snow in the tribute team.

"Your Majesty, although I brought horses and other treasures to pay tribute this time, I came here not just to pay tribute." Nasipanto said fluently.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Yu asked in advance.

Liu Yu was very satisfied with the effect of placing a Ran Liang on the west side of the West Single House Building.

In the early stage, Liu Yu controlled the western region of Anxi with the military farm as the main force, and could well control the military farm with fixed cities and farmland.

As for the further regions outside the Western Regions, Liu Yu asked Ran Liang to recruit a large number of nomadic tribes on the grassland to conquer the Hu people in the Western Regions.

These powerful nomadic tribes can be said to be the nemesis of the city-state system that fought against the Western Hu people.

Ran Liang quickly established a new sphere of influence, which not only provided guarantees for Han business travelers along the way, but also eliminated the previous extortion, deduction, or even robbery and killing in Huizhou, the Western Regions, allowing Han business travelers to go further.

What's more, Ran Liang gave Liu a large number of Western Region horses, camels, cattle and sheep products every year, so that the official horse farm can get enough good varieties.

Therefore, every time Ran Liang sent a tribute team to come, Liu Yu was in a very happy mood.

This feeling of lying down is like making a fortune. Don’t be too calm.

"Your Majesty should know that there is a Persian kingdom to the west of the kingdom of heaven." Shi Pantuo said carefully.

"Persia? Of course, Persia should be the first local power at this time, right?"

Liu Yu naturally knew the Persian Empire in history.

However, the Persian Empire at this time was not the background board of Xiao Qiang, an ancient Greece, but a real world power.

"Yes, your Majesty, today's Persia is known as the Sassanid dynasty, with thousands of miles of land and millions of troops. Its ever-expanding power has extended to Quezonnia in the east." Shipantuo said with some concern.

When Liu Yu heard this, he guessed how many points it was.

"Na Pantuo, don't beat around the bush, say it quickly."

When Nashbanto heard this, he didn't dare to beat around the bush, so he told the whole story.

It turned out that Ran Liang's Pingxi Kingdom expanded wildly, and the cavalry mainly composed of the nomadic tribes of the grassland quickly conquered a large number of nobles in the southwest Guisauniya.

These nobles are all remnants left after the split of the Kushan Empire in the past.

They were all wealth-guarding slaves, guarding one acre of three-point land. They were no match for Ran Liang's nomadic cavalry at all. They would soon surrender and pay tribute.

Therefore, the Sassanian Persian Empire, which they were originally loyal to, naturally would not let it go.

Sassanthesian Persia sent an envoy to submit a fierce letter of nationality to Ran Liang, and supported by the powerful power of Sassanthesian Persia, he asked Ran Liang to withdraw from the Turtle Fairy and hand over the prince who betrayed the Turtle Fairy.

"What's wrong with such a request?" Liu Yu frowned, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

It is certainly not the first time that Ran Liang has encountered opposition from this kind of expansionist force. Do you need to be sent to Shipantuo to leave?

Just talk about the outcome of the war.

"As long as the Sassanians are defeated, won't it be fine?" Liu Yu said.

"Your Majesty may not know much about the reputation of Sassanthemum in the Western Regions, but everyone should be afraid, especially in the Western Regions," said Shi Pantuo.

"Is it more terrifying than the reputation of our great man?" Liu Yu asked in advance.

Shi Pantuo shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, the two are different. Dakhan's fame was indeed brilliant in the past, but it has not been revealed in the Western Regions for nearly a hundred years. At the same time, it is time for these Sassanian Persians to expand their fame, especially in Baoshiyu, Gisegania and Hualamo areas, where princes and princes are more afraid of the Sassanians."

"What does Ran Liang want to do?" Liu Yu asked in advance.

"Your Majesty, the power in King Pingxi's hands is seriously insufficient, especially when many cities' leaders heard that the Sassanian Persians were going to send troops to fight, there were already signs of instability among the people, and Your Majesty urgently needed to send more reinforcements. Otherwise, not only will the land on the Turtle Back Cliff will be criticized, but even the area around Kangju Dawan will be full of rebellion." Shi Pantu said.

When Liu Yu heard this, he naturally could not let Ran Liang's feudal country collapse. The most important supply of good horses in the Western Regions could be in the area of ​​Kangju Dayuan.

"How many troops do you need?" Liu Yu asked in advance.

"Your Majesty, according to the defense battle, we need at least 100,000 troops!" said Shi Pantuo.

When Liu Yu heard this number, he immediately became dark.

"Nasipanta, you know, it is absolutely impossible to have 100,000 troops, let alone 100,000 troops. There are not even 50,000 troops in the Western Regions."

Liu Yu didn't want to waste time on this issue, so he thought about it and said.

"And, the military military troops in the Western Regions cannot leave too far. The reinforcements I can send may only be the cavalry of the Longxi and Western Seafood Bibs, with about 20,000 to 30,000 people."

After hearing what Liu Yu said about the number of reinforcements, Shibantuo immediately knew what was going on.

If there are another 20,000 to 30,000 grassland cavalry, it will basically ensure that the whole country can defend this land, and people are not afraid of being tempted by Sassanthemum to rebel easily.

"Your Majesty's greatness will definitely spread all over the world with these soldiers!" Evaluation of Napanto's non-distinction and no leakage.

Seeing Shi Pantuo's confident look, Liu Yu's heart suddenly moved.

He asked Nashipanda with some confusion.

"Narcipanto, do you think the Sassans will really go to war with you this time? Will it be just verbal blackmail?"

Hearing these words, Sipanto suddenly became a little excited.

"Your Majesty, the ambitions of the Sassanians are almost universal. Since the founding of the Central Plains, they have been frequently dispersed, especially today's Shapur II, who is an ambitious young king. They dare not go to Western Qin and will definitely go to war with us Pingxi Country. It is only a matter of time." Shi Pantuo said.

"Oh, let me ask you, do you have more information about this Sassanid?" Liu Yu suddenly became interested.

"Yes, your Majesty!"

When Napantu heard this, he immediately introduced Sasha Persia to Liu Yu in more detail.

It turns out that this Sassanian Persia has been established for more than 100 years. Since replacing the Parthian Persian Empire, it has not only inherited its own territory, but also its ambitions.

Sassanthemum went to war with the Roman Empire almost every year. With the advantage of this cavalry, he once had the upper hand on the battlefield.

However, as the Sassanian ambition increased, the Sassanian army became deeper and deeper and was repeatedly defeated by the Roman Empire.

Especially decades ago, King Sasanbos lost his wife and children and was captured by the Romans. All of the previous territories were criticized in later negotiations.

"The Qin State is in full swing today. Even if the four emperors rule together, they can always deal with the enemy." Liu Yu nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the description of the Sassanian Persians.

The "Qin" among Liu Yu and his two peoples was what the Chinese called the Roman Empire of the Western Regions at this time.

Although there is almost no direct connection between the Roman Empire and the Han Empire, this does not prevent them from admiring each other.

"Your Majesty is right. Now Sasanbos cannot move westward, but is trying hard to find success elsewhere. It is indeed inevitable to expand eastwardly." Shi Pantu said.

"What did King Sassanthesians say specifically in Ran Liang's book?" Liu Yuyu continued.

When Napanda heard about this question, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

However, after thinking for a while, he mustered up the courage to speak out.

"Then King Shapu II of Sashan was tough, thinking that the king of heaven was the monarch of the Eastern Central Plains, and saying that he was the King of Western Chu. If the King of Pingxi did not want to fight, he would have to offer 100,000 pieces of white porcelain and 1,000 pieces of silk of various colors every year, and then he could continue to do business with the people of Sashan."

When Liu Yu heard this, he was a little amused.

It turned out that in the eyes of the Sassanian Persians, Ran Liang was simply regarded as the army of the headquarters of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Hmph, these Sashan people clearly think that Ran Liang is the soldier at our headquarters, but not only are they not afraid, they have made so many requests that they cannot be greedy. It is really time to teach them a lesson."
