Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

After several years of continuous construction, the majestic Luoyang Palace has finally fully revitalized its majesty.

Every time Bihapeng comes to Luoyang, he can feel the unparalleled demeanor of this world's number one city.

Whether it was the solid and vast city wall or the solemn and gorgeous palace, it gave him a deep sense of pressure from his heart.

But this time when I entered Luoyang, this sense of pressure that made people dare not look directly brought a firm sense of security than Hapeng.

As the first native of Nanzhong who was loyal to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Bihapeng is now one of the prime ministers of Huan Wen, the king of Annan of the Han Dynasty. He is a complete serf singing.

When the owner of the businessman used to be in business, he had to bow down to salute when he saw Bihapeng now.

As a member of the young guard of the Emperor of Han, Huan Wen became the first foreign vassal for the Han Dynasty to explore the Southern Central. Not only were there the aid of the Han army from the two Han troops in the Southern Central Central Protector Anxi, but he also received the title of King Annan personally awarded by the Emperor of Han.

The members of the entire Huanwen Group were very happy about this title.

King Annan, doesn’t it mean that as long as the boundary goes west, they are all under the jurisdiction of King Annan.

Nowadays, the trade routes between the east and the west have become increasingly a wealth route with gold and silver flowing.

Whoever occupys the longer the trade route, the more benefits he will gain.

Therefore, the soldiers under Huan Wen's King Annan were trying their best to expand their territory everywhere.

The Annan County of the Ran family now includes vast areas in the southeast of Kangju, Su Yi, western Dayuan and Sanlivernia. If it weren't for the snow-capped mountains and plateaus in the south, Huan Wen would have already led his troops south to pursue the Murong Xianbei.

However, the control of the steep mountain pass was in the hands of Murong Xianbei, and Huan Wen's Annan army could only expand its territory elsewhere.

The expansion of this emerging force soon caused trouble for itself.

Bihapeng came to Luoyang this time for this time.

Inside the palace.

Liu Yu, who had just ended the grand dynasty meeting, finally let Bihapeng, who had been waiting for most of the day, come in.

After giving a salute, Liu Yu asked first.

"Bihapeng, do you have to pay tribute in advance when you come to Luoyang this time?"

The weather this year is a bit cold after autumn. Liu Yu thought that the Annan Prince's Mansion was afraid of the tribute team's wind and snow, so he came to Luoyang in advance.

"Your Majesty, although I have brought treasures such as tribute to horses, I am not only here to pay tribute." Nashipan Troupe said fluently Luo Yin.

"What else is there?" Liu Yu asked.

The effect achieved by placing Huan Wen on the west side of the Southern Central Protectorate was very satisfying to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu used the military farming army as the main force to control the two Protectorates of Nanzhong and Anxi, and the military farming army with fixed cities and farming fields to accept good control.

As for the further out of the South Central area, Liu Yu asked Huan Wen to recruit a large number of grassland nomadic tribes to conquer the Hu people in the South Central Central.

These tough nomadic tribes are nemesis against those city-state-based Hu people in the Southern Central.

Huan Wen quickly established a new sphere of influence, which not only provided guarantees for the Han business travelers along the way, but also eliminated the previous acts of extortion, deduction, or even looting and killing of the Hu people in the Southern Central City, and allowed the Han business travelers to go further.

More importantly, Huan Wen would pay a large number of Nanzhong horses, camels, cattle and sheep every year, which allowed the Han Dynasty's official horse farm to obtain sufficient varieties.

Therefore, Liu Yu was in a very comfortable mood every time the team sent by Huan Wen came.

This feeling of having money coming in when you lie down is so good.

"Your Majesty should know that there is a Persian country to the west of the king of Annan." Bihapeng said carefully.

"Persia? Of course I know that the Persian country at this time should be the most powerful country in the area, right?"

Liu Yu naturally knew about the Persian Empire in history.

However, the Persian Empire at this time was not the background board of the ancient Greek strongman who had been in every second, but a real world power.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Persian Kingdom is called the Vientiane Dynasty, with a territory of thousands of miles and a million troops. Its expansion power has arrived eastward to Triple Livernia." Bihapen said with some concern.

When Liu Yu heard this, he guessed a few points.

"Bihapeng, don't go around, say it quickly."

When Bihapeng heard this, he didn't dare to take any more turns and told the whole story.

It turned out that Huan Wen's Annan Kingdom expanded wildly, and the cavalry, mainly composed of the nomadic tribes of the grassland, quickly conquered a large number of Triple Vulnerian princes to the southwest.

These three Livernian princes and nobles are all remaining forces left after the split of the Three Livernian Empire.

They were all wealth-guarding slaves who guarded one acre of three-point land. They were no match for the nomadic cavalry under Huan Wen, and they soon surrendered and paid tribute.

In this way, the Persian Empire, which they were originally loyal to, would naturally not give up.

Vientiane Persia sent an envoy to submit a fiercely spoken letter to Huan Wen. Backed by the powerful force of Vientiane, Xiang Huan Wen issued a request to withdraw from Sanlivernia and hand over the request to betray Prince Sanliver.

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

This kind of expansionist forces encountered opposition, which is definitely not the first time Huan Wen encountered. Is it necessary to send Bihapeng to report?

Just talk directly with the victory or defeat of the war.

"As long as you defeat the Wanxiang people, wouldn't that be enough?" Liu Yu said.

"Your Majesty may not know very well that the reputation of Vientiane Persia in the South Central area is everyone afraid of, especially in the South Central area," said Bihapeng.

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

Bihapeng shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, the two are different. The Han Dynasty's reputation was indeed very glorious in the past, but it has not been shown in Nanzhong for nearly a hundred years. During this period, it was when these Persians of Vientiane expanded their reputation, especially Su Yi, Sanlivernia, and Hualazimo. The princes and leaders from all over the country were even more afraid of the people of Vientiane."

"What should Huan Wen do?" Liu Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, the troops in King Annan are seriously insufficient, especially when many city-state leaders heard that the Persians in the Vientiane wanted to send large troops to war, which was already a sign of unstable people's hearts. His Majesty urgently needed to send more reinforcements, otherwise not only would the land in Sanlivernia be spit out, but even the area of ​​Kangju Dayuan would be rebelled." Bihapeng said.

When Liu Yu heard this, he naturally could not let Huan Wen's vassal state collapse. The most important supply area for the good horses in Nanzhong was in the area of ​​Kangju Dayuan.

"How many troops are needed?" Liu Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, according to the defensive battle, at least one hundred thousand troops are needed!" Bihapeng said.

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

"Bihapeng, you have to know that it is absolutely impossible to have a 100,000 army. Not to mention a 100,000 army, there are not even 50,000 military troops in the two southern and central governments."

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

"And the military farming soldiers of the Southern Central Protectorate's Office cannot leave too far. The reinforcements I can send may only be the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe in the western part of Longxi and Xihai. There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people."

When Bihapeng heard the number of reinforcements Liu Yu said, he immediately felt a clear idea.

If there are another 20,000 to 30,000 grassland cavalry, it can basically ensure that the entire Annan king's fief can defend the country and not be afraid of being easily lured and rebelled by the Persia of the World.

"Your Majesty's great power will inevitably be broadcast to all over the world with these soldiers!" Bihapeng commented that he was not visible and did not leak.

Seeing Birhapeng's confident appearance, Liu Yu's heart suddenly moved.

He asked Bihapin with some confusion.

"Bihapeng, do you think the Vientiane will really start a war against you this time? Will it be just a verbal blackmail?"

As soon as he heard this, Bihapeng suddenly became a little excited.

"Your Majesty, the ambitions of the people of all things are almost to cover all the world. Since its founding, they have frequently attacked. Especially now, Shapur II is an ambitious young king. They dare not launch a war on the Great Qin Kingdom in the West. They will definitely start a war against our Annan Kingdom. It is just a matter of time." Bihapeng said.

"Oh, I ask you, is there any more information about this Wanxiang Man?" Liu Yu suddenly became interested.

"Yes, your majesty!"

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

It turned out that this Vientiane Persia has been established for more than a hundred years. Since replacing the Parthian Persian Empire, it has not only inherited its territory, but also inherited its ambitions.

Vientiane Persia almost started war with the Roman Empire every year, and with the advantage of this cavalry, it once gained the upper hand in field battles.

However, as the ambitions of the Vientiane increased, the Vientiane army went too deep and was repeatedly defeated by the Roman Empire.

Especially after a great defeat decades ago, the wife, children and children of the Persian king of Vientiane were captured by the Romans, and all the previous territories were vomited out in later negotiations.

"The Great Qin Kingdom is at its peak today. Although it is governed by four emperors, it can still deal with the enemy." Liu Yu nodded slightly, expressing his recognition of the description of the Persians in the World.

The "Qin" mentioned by Liu Yu and his two people was the name of the Roman Empire at that time for the Chinese people to be the southern and western Roman Empire.

Although the Roman Empire and the Han Empire had almost no direct contact, it did not hinder the mutual admiration that was thousands of miles apart.

"Your Majesty is right. Nowadays, Persia is unable to move westward. It can only be desperately trying to find results from other places. It is really inevitable to expand eastward." Bihapeng said.

"Then what did this king of Vientiane Persia specifically say in his letter to Huan Wen?" Liu Yu continued to ask.

When Bihapeng heard this question, he was immediately embarrassed.

However, he thought about it for a while and still mustered up the courage to say it out.

"The King of Vientiane Shapur II was a strong person and thought that King Annan was the monarch of the Eastern Central Plains. He said that he was the king of the West. If King Annan did not want to fight, he would have to worship 100,000 pieces of white porcelain and 1,000 pieces of silk and silk every year, and then he could continue to do business with the people of Vientiane."

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

It turns out that in the eyes of the Persians in the World, Huan Wen was regarded as the headquarters of the Han Dynasty in the East.

"Hmph, these people in the world clearly think Huan Wen is the army of my great Han army, but they are not afraid, but instead make so many demands of powerlessness and greed. It is really time to teach them a lesson."
