One thousand three hundred seventy-six Emperor Caracalla set his sights on the east

It’s true that the four-year-old rebellion of the Kushan Empire has not yet subsided.

The other party is the actual controller of the place, with a high position and a powerful position, and is not weak. On the contrary, he is a bit strong and has a strong foundation.

The Kushan Empire's control over southern territory was already quite limited.

So this rebellion is essentially a battle between two countries, not between the emperor and the thief.

So from any perspective, it is very dangerous to open up a second battlefield at this time.

And if the Wei army took advantage of the situation to rob, the Kushan Empire might really end.

Coincidentally, the Silence Empire was busy with border friction with the Roman Empire at this time, and was even less prepared to deal with military threats from Wei.

When Wei State attacked Dayuan, the Anxi Empire did not intend to compete with the people of Wei State, so they did not intervene. They just wanted to monopolize the trade routes in Central Asia.

The main enemy they faced was the Romans. The Romans thought they made too much money and took too much commission, so they sent troops to fight again and again. The Anxi Empire was exhausted and civil strife of all sizes occurred, and there were no stops.

This time, I don’t know what the new Roman emperor, the guy they called Caracala, had committed, and once again led the Imperial Guards to kill him.

He is conducting military exercises on the border and causing frictions, as if I want to fight with you.

It seems that he looks rich and generous.

When he went to war, his frames were decorated with gold, and the battle flags were embroidered with gold edges, making him look like a wealthy warrior.

While showing force and financial resources, we will fight the fighting will of the Rest Army.

But this does not have the effect as it should be.

The grudge between the Rest Empire and the Roman Empire was deeply rooted.

The Roman army also dug the tomb of the Silent Emperor, so the Silent Empire had an irreconcilable hatred with it.

Once the two armies confront each other, they will definitely be thunder and earth-fire, and they can drive out all their brains.

Now that things have come to this point, the war has become a foregone conclusion. The resting Empire is all in the Western Front, and the Eastern Front must be stabilized no matter what, and there must be no loss.

When he heard that the Wei army gathered on the eastern front, as if he was going to fight, he quickly sent someone to inquire about the news and the situation.

The final judgment was that the target of the Wei army was Kangju Kingdom rather than Kushan, and of course they were not them. So the Sadren breathed a sigh of relief and continued to go back to the Western Front to face the Roman army passionately.

Depending on the situation, it will change to a middle gate and sniper at any time.

This wave of operations of Karakara is mainly to accumulate military merits and prestige, to consume the strength of the military leaders in Central Asia, and then to meet the spoils of the Imperial Guards, and to recharge their life cycle.

If you don’t fight for a long time, the men of the Imperial Guards will be very angry.

The emperors spent money to buy the temporary right to use the throne. The time is limited and they have to recharge at any time. Once they are not recharged, there is no use period and they will be educated by the real master of the throne.

Therefore, launching a war to plunder wealth is itself a recharge behavior. Only recharge can become stronger, and only recharge can have a bright future.

This was first realized by the Roman emperors in the third century AD.

From another perspective, through the letters he sent to the Wei Empire to write to him, he learned some of the situation of the Wei Empire, and had a little understanding of the political status and power model of the Wei Empire. He was very surprised and jealous of the emperor's power.

The emperor was simply a super political strongman who said the same thing. No one dared to oppose him. Moreover, the people of the whole country paid taxes on him. There was no military leader in the entire Wei Empire, and it was directly managed by the government under his rule.

How did he do it?

Emperor Karakara was very shocked and puzzled.

In some subsequent letters, he learned that the former Wei Empire was similar to the Roman Empire under his rule, and it was also a state of division with many warlords, but the appearance of this emperor changed all this.

He violently cleared all obstacles, used his powerful army and superb talents to eliminate all warlords and separatist forces, unify the country, and then set up his own government to manage every piece of land.

In order to better manage the land, he built roads everywhere, and built the empire's roads well-connected. His government could manage the places where the roads could extend.

What a terrifying dominance.

The world's wealth really belongs to him alone!

Karakala felt that her saliva was about to drip, and she felt that she was constantly eating lemons, which was so sour.

The more he understood the Wei Empire, the more he knew the political status of this country, he became very sour, so sour that he could not do it himself.

No, no!

He can, why can't I?

He also came from that time and used violence to wipe out all the enemies!

Can he, can I?

We are all the supreme rulers of a country. He can, and I can!

In order to accumulate prestige and train the combat effectiveness of the army, let’s start with the Rest Empire.

Emperor Karakara turned his attention to the East, and he was very confident.

Not only because of his confidence in himself, but also because he recently got an interesting, smart, young military staff officer.

A military staff officer from Wei State, with a noble and extremely intelligent background.

This staff officer came from the distant state of Wei and followed the fleet of Wei. After he arrived in Rome, he quickly mastered some of the Greek and Latin expression skills with his amazing learning ability. His learning speed was astonishing.

A few months later, he was able to speak with Emperor Caracala proficiently in Greek and Latin.

They talked about some military issues, because Emperor Karakara had already begun to prepare to attack the Silence Empire at that time.

He expressed his interest and asked the army to see the real battlefield. Emperor Karakara liked the young man very much, so he allowed his request to let him follow him to participate in the war.

It was just a whim. Emperor Caracala never expected that this young man had military talent and talent. He just learned a little by little and understood the situation of the Roman army and the Rest Army.

Then start trying to make suggestions.

The professional staff officers around Emperor Karakara felt it was ridiculous, but Emperor Karakara trusted him very much and tried to adopt some of his suggestions and launched certain actions.

Under his suggestion, Emperor Karakara set up the battlefield according to his tactics several times in a row, successfully attacked the elite cavalry of the Absolute Empire, achieved considerable results, and also won a general of the Absolute Army.

And this is just a test of this young military staff officer.

Many professional staff officers were shocked, shocked by the young man's Octavian's thinking and amazing insight.

The young military staff officer gave him a very different sense.

Moreover, as a member of Wei, he has no connection with any force here. A pure outsider and pure neutrality can be appointed by him and become his excellent support.

His origin as the son of the Wei cabinet chief minister will also bring great convenience to him, making no Roman power dare to attack him easily. Anyone who wants to attack him must consider the Wei power behind him.

Too perfect.

Emperor Karakara felt very happy when he thought of this.

The young man named Cao Chong was handsome and smart, with a keen sense of military affairs that was different from ordinary people. He could not even notice things that the old military advisers around him did not notice.

He also discovered some flaws that were not easy to discover in the Anxi Army and made targeted response arrangements, which made the Anxi Army suffer losses and suffered tragic blows.

Emperor Caracala even planned to wait for him to make some contributions, so he would let him be his chief military staff officer, give him an official, give him a high treatment, status and power, let him become his confidant official and leave him in Rome.

After getting Cao Chong, Emperor Karakara felt that he could rise up.

As soon as he rose, the old and declining rest empire was in trouble.

The two major forces in Central Asia each have their own worries and their own helplessness.

At this time, it was exactly the time when the Wei army marched into Kangju.

When Kangjuguo learned that the Wei army was gathering in the western Protectorate, he almost immediately thought that the Wei army was here to deal with them.

If it is said, it is a guilty act. After the new king killed the old king and ascended the throne, he did not apologize to Wei in time out of luck and face-saving. Instead, he planned to expose the matter when it had not happened.

They themselves also suffered heavy losses.

Only more than 2,000 people were beaten and returned alive. It is said that 20,000 heads were cut off, a group of people were arrested, and a group of people who escaped and died, and only more than 2,000 people were alive, which was miserable.

He lost more than 20,000 young and strong men in one breath, which was a huge blow to Kangjuguo.

Kangju Kingdom is a semi-nova and semi-settled country. The maximum number of troops that can be used is only more than 80,000, and one-quarter of them will be lost in one breath. What a painful loss?

For a moment, every household was crying, and every household was mourning their dead relatives in their own way.

A large group of women became widows, a large group of parents lost their children, a large group of children lost their fathers, and the people's resentment towards the king reached its peak.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the new king raised an army to attack the old king, and successfully killed the old king who rashly supported the Dayuan Kingdom and became the king himself.

But the problem has not been solved, it just seems that it has not been raised again.

After a few years of stable life, he felt that the people of Wei had forgotten what they had happened and were at ease. However, he never expected that the Wei army would come just a few days after he was stable.

The Wei army was quite large and fully equipped, with many war horses. The army they formed was advancing towards the territory of Kangju Kingdom, with a magnificent momentum.

It’s not because I’m here to cause trouble for others, but I’ve already confirmed that I’m here to cause trouble for them.

They have sent a declaration of war.

This is great.
