Both countries seemed impatient.

After all, this kind of war has lasted for a long time, and both sides are already dealing with it in a tired state. From the bottom of their hearts, they are unwilling to continue fighting.

No matter what the reason was, the two sides hit it off and decided to withdraw their troops!

This process sounds very short, but the time delay on the road cannot be ignored. During this period, a full month has passed.

Although Valen rushed back to Guishang from Luoyang, it actually took him nearly half a month. As a result, half of the three-month deadline had passed.

Good thing!

They had already negotiated the matter, and the next step was just the strategic deployment of troops and generals. A full month and a half was enough for Vesudev I to build defenses.

The Kuishuang Empire is preparing, but the Haotian Empire is just idle?

The answer is obviously no!

Wang Hao had talked to Zhou Yu before. In fact, in this world, in addition to the four major empires, there are also sporadic small countries. For example, in the Indian Peninsula south of Kushan, there are more than ten countries coexisting.

But their area is too small to pose a threat to Kushan, Parthia and other countries. Therefore, they do not have the ranks of other countries.

But in fact, they are real!

Although the combat effectiveness is very poor, there is no doubt that it cannot be ignored!

Although Wang Hao didn't remember the specific location of the Indian Peninsula, he still clearly remembered the appearance of the buck teeth, so he drew a simple diagram for Zhou Yu.

This simple diagram is too simple, like a check mark, and it is an extremely steep check mark. However, although it is simple, the characteristics are reflected very well.

That is an existence that is almost straight up and down!

Knowing this is enough for Zhou Yu, and he will complete the remaining refinement work.

After consulting relevant ancient books and information, Zhou Yu discovered that in fact, in addition to the Silk Road, there was also a trade route on the sea, and the sailing distance was not short.

Judging from the information revealed between the lines, it at least proved that Wang Hao was not wrong. Zhou Yu admired him even more. He thought he was knowledgeable and talented, but compared to Wang Hao, he was simply scumbag.

After adjusting strategic thinking.

Navy officers worked day and night to explore the coastline.

They set out from the South China Sea in Dahan and continued to explore westward along the coastline of Jiaozhou, passing part of the Nansha Islands. After a month, they finally found the strait of Sumatra Island.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed!

Because according to Wang Hao, as long as you cross this strait, you will not be far from the southern world of the Kushan Empire, or it may be very close!

For the better! Faster! To complete the task, Zhou Yu on the one hand ordered the exploration team to continue exploring forward, and on the other hand, ordered Sun Ce to lead Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others to capture Sumatra Island and use it as the southern base for his attack on Kushan.

Of course!

Sumatra Island, as the southern base, is only temporary. Once they find the southern part of Kushan, they will move the combat command center there to make it more convenient for operations.

The more this time comes, the more excited Zhou Yu becomes!

Whether it was the ancient books he consulted or the things Wang Hao told him, they all appeared in his mind like reflections, unforgettable.

Maurya!

It was Wang Hao who led to an empire in the southern part of Kushan.

Its founder, Chandragupta, got his name from a family that raised peacocks.

Zhou Yu remembered this very clearly. Although he didn't know what kind of bird a peacock was, Wang Hao told him that it was a family that raised birds. When Zhou Yu heard this, he could only laugh.

A family that raises birds can create a dynasty!

It was really hard for him to imagine how backward a place like this was still, but what was certain was that such a country could not stop the Haotian Empire at all.

There is this! enough!

The Mauryan Dynasty ended soon. Among the southern kingdoms alongside Kushan, only the Baicheng Dynasty could barely gain the Dharma Eyes. Although it subverted the Mauryan Dynasty, it was just a rumor and did not make much innovation or progress.

Nothing to fear at all!

Crossing the Strait of Malacca at Sumatra Island, Zhou Yu's navy continued to explore forward.

It may also be God's help. The weather has been very good recently, and their work of exploring the coastline is going very smoothly.

In addition to the navy, Zhao Yun of the Western Region Protectorate is also actively preparing.

From the beginning, they did not believe that the Kushan Empire would agree to the conditions, so preparations for war have been going on. But now, intelligence coming from the Kushan Empire shows that they are deploying troops.

Although they blocked various roads and even set up ports, they could not stop the white doves in the sky. They thought that their deployment of troops was carried out in secret, but in fact, intelligence had already been placed on Zhao Yun's case.

Congling!

Also known as the Pamir Plateau.

It is located in the southeastern part of Central Asia and the westernmost tip of China, spanning Tajikistan, China and Afghanistan. It is the gathering place of many major mountain ranges in Asia, with an average altitude of 4000 meters to 7700 meters.

Living in the Western Region is very difficult.

Although the scenery here is picturesque and beautiful, the air here is too thin, and it is difficult for the soldiers of the Haotian Empire to adapt to the living environment on the plateau.

This is why the Haotian Empire only has an army of 20,000 people in the Western Region. They would like to add more troops, but it is obvious that the climate conditions here do not allow it.

So! The soldiers who can survive here are all strong soldiers who can withstand hundreds of soldiers. They have extremely strong physical fitness and firm will to fight. They were once the nightmares in the hearts of the countries in the Western Region, but now they are their protectors.

Staring at the sand table in front of him, Zhao Yun asked softly:"Meng Qi, how are the physical conditions of the new soldiers during this period? How many soldiers and horses can be left?"

Ma Chao sighed, obviously not as expected:"Although this batch The physical fitness of the soldiers is pretty good, but about half of them have suffered from what His Majesty called altitude sickness. Some of them have been repatriated, and the rest are still adapting, but the effect is not optimistic. Marshal, don't hold on too much. hope"

"half the people......"

Zhao Yun chewed over and over again. Their conditions for selecting soldiers were very harsh. Each time they entered the Western Region, they would only have about 3,000 people at best, and half of them had altitude sickness. In other words, only 1,500 people could join the army.

But these 1,500 people are only preliminary qualified. Only by continuing to live for a period of time and making sure that there are no problems can they truly settle in the Western Region and become a member here.

"It’s already very good!

Zhao Yun nodded and then ordered:"Tell the Huotou Army to strengthen the nutrition of the soldiers. These soldiers may be our last replenishment before the war. How many can be left behind?""
