Nashi Pantuo returned from Luoyang with a quick horse and brought the news that the Great Emperor Liu Yu was about to send reinforcements to Ran Liang.

However, another news that followed made Ran Liang feel heavy when he just got happy.

"What did you say, the Sassans gathered an army of half a million?"

Ran Liang said with a look of surprise.

The person who just brought this news was Lu Zhong, the left general of Pingxi Kingdom.

Lu Zhong was a Xianbei native in the west. His tribe was named Bu Lugu. He followed the orders of King Ran Liang of Pingxi and changed it to the Han surname Lu.

However, even if Lu Zhong changed his surname to Han, his original irritable temperament did not change at all.

"King, yes, I just got the news of the secret spy. The king of the Sassanian barbarian gathered troops from all the central government and had already gathered 500,000 people. He will attack us soon."

When Lu Zhong heard the news, he couldn't wait to come and give it back.

Ran Liang frowned. He really didn't expect that the Sassanians could gather so many soldiers.

Five hundred thousand!

All his troops were just enough for 50,000, and the Han army's subsequent reinforcements would not exceed 80,000.

Maybe even the Sassanians are not at the forefront, and once the war begins, it will be in danger.

"Don't worry, my king, I think there is definitely not so many of the Sassanians' 500,000 troops." Nashi Pantuo next to him suddenly spoke.

"Oh, can the Sassanians also often use the trick of virtual soldiers?" Ran Liang's expression suddenly relaxed.

"The king is right. The Sassanians are most used to intimidation tricks. It is common for them to say that 10,000 troops are a hundred thousand troops."

As a Kangju native, Nashipantuo had long known the situation of Sassanthemum, which was not far away.

He began to explain patiently to Ran Liang.

Only then did Ran Liang and others realize that the means of saying less is more than that to scare the enemy are basically universal.

Especially among the Sassanian Persians, they use it perfectly.

"At that time, the Sassans attacked the Kushan people in the area of ​​Lan's city, they only dispatched less than 10,000 people, and they promoted the 200,000 troops all over the world. In the end, they scared other Kushan princes and princes not to save them."

Nashi Pantuo's words made Ran Liang feel a little amused.

He was obviously a long-standing battle formation, but he was almost lost by the Sasanian barbarians' tricks.

"However, the number of soldiers is really a frightening person. Even if I can't scare me, I'm afraid that the princes and leaders of the Kushan people will surrender."

Ran Liang had never had hope for the loyalty of those surrendered Kushan people, unless he could pull the troops over as soon as possible, and now he showed his will to resist the Sassanians.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to let those Kushans resist the Sassanian Persians on their own.

"King, since the enemy can use this move, why can't we use it?" Lu Zhong said on the side.

"The reason is this, but whether it is the Sasanians or the Kushans, they all know that we have just moved here for a while, and there are not many soldiers in our headquarters. Even if we talk about it at most, we may not be able to surpass the Sasanians."

Ran Liang's strength lies in his overly transparent and not much mystery about his military strength. He would not believe in the number of troops he made up randomly.

"King, there are not many Sassanian soldiers. Except for the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses directly under the Sassanian King, most of the remaining soldiers were servants recruited from all over the country."

If it were the original Nashi Pantuo, he would never have said this.

At that time, Nashipantuo was just a merchant from Kangju. When he heard the reputation of King Sassanthes’s tens of thousands of imperial guards, he could only lie on the ground and tremble, rather than being as calm as he did now.

"Unlike the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Han Dynasty, the Sassanians conquered all over the country and then allowed the local tribe leaders to serve as officials. Except for summoning troops during combat, there were no troops directly under the Sassanian king stationed."

Nashipantuo was very clear about Sassanthemum's trump card. As long as he could withstand the initial huge attack, the remaining Sassanthemum's offensive would only become weaker and weaker.

Most of the Sassanian army went on temporary battles and could not achieve years of battle.

"If the Sassans want to fight us, they will definitely recruit vassals from the eastern part of the country. Whether it is Hanazmo, Markiana, or Sistan, they will definitely be recruited."

Ran Liang knew that after Nashi Pantuo said so much, he must have thought of some effective way to restrain himself.

"Tell me quickly, can you suppress the arrogance of the Sassanians?" Ran Liang said.

"King, since the Sasanians can summon vassals, we can also summon vassals. Even if they cannot be used to fight head-on and let them raid the Sasanian border, the king will send them some good weapons and armor, which can weaken the Sasanians' arrogance." Nashipantuo said.

"Also summoned Yi to join the army?"

Ran Liang was quite satisfied with this method.

But the question is where to find the right vassal servants and soldiers.

Whether it is a Kangju, a Dayuan, a Su Yi or a Kushan person in the south, in Ran Liang's eyes, there are groups of scumbag combat power.

"Do you mean to ask this king to summon the people of Kangju and Dayuan?" Ran Liang said.

"The king, Kangju and others are only suitable for businessmen to manage their wealth. If they go to battle, they may have quit for many years." Nashi Pantuo also has no confidence in the combat effectiveness of his compatriots.

"Then who are you referring to?" Ran Liang asked.

"King, the person I want to talk about is the Hunter who is crossing Hualazimo in the west of Kangju!" said Nashipantuo.

"Huns? What Huns?" Ran Liang was confused about this title.

He had heard of the Huns and knew that some of the Kushan people in Kangju called their soldiers and horses "White Huns", but they had never heard of any names of the Huns.

"The King, the Huns were a group of barbarians wandering the grasslands in the northwest. They once nomadly in the northwest of Kangju, and later fought with the Hualazimu people and were forced to migrate westward.

These people claimed to be Huns and were once a family with the Huns."

When Ran Liang heard this, he felt speechless.

He hated the Hu people in the Huns most, but he never thought of recruiting a group of "Huns" as his subordinates.

But in the end, Ran Liang bowed to reality first, and he sent Nashipantuo to form a caravan to the "Hungarian" territory.

This is a reward team composed of hundreds of cavalrymen. Under the guidance of Kangju people, he went to the grasslands in the northwest to look for the so-called "Hungarians".

When Nashipantuo's men crossed the Aral Sea and arrived at the Huns' tour, they soon met several major leaders of the Hun Tribal Alliance.
