I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Although Wei Chu formulated a strategy to continue the western expedition, the Chinese Empire's army did not take advantage of the great victory to immediately advance westward.

Most of the Chinese army chose to return to the Kangju Kingdom for a period of rest and recuperation.

At the same time, some highly targeted training is carried out.

Such as siege.

The remaining small part of the Chinese army guarded tens of thousands of prisoners and used the prisoners to build a strong city on the gentle slope where Commodus led his troops to stay.

Jiancheng was personally appointed as the victorious city by Wei Chu.

Victory City will serve as an advance base and play an extremely important role in the subsequent Western Expedition.

Of course, the necessary penetration doesn't stop.

Split, alienate, bribe.

The Chinese counselors took the lead in applying the wisdom of the Chinese people to the Kushan people.

In the case of Vesudeva I, [-] elite soldiers of Kushan were buried.

The Kushans soon fell into civil strife.

Magadha, a vassal state of Kushan, took the lead in declaring independence.

The eldest son of Vesutiva I and the Kushan generals started a series of struggles around Fulusa, the capital of Kushan, because of their struggle for power.

The illegitimate son of Vesudeva I, with the support of the Chinese, occupied Malakanda, the important northern city of Kushan.

At the same time, the Parthians were also ready to take action.

Although the Parthians lost [-] cavalry in this battle, the loss of [-] cavalry did not make the Parthians stop their desire to march eastward.

It's just that this time the Parthians' Eastern Expedition target was changed from the Chinese Empire to the Kushan Empire.

According to the explanation of the top officials of the Parthian Empire.

The Parthian Empire did not intend to invade the Kushan Empire.

The Parthian Empire just hoped to join forces with the Kushan Empire to form a coalition army commanded by the Parthian King.

This coalition will fight against the Chinese Empire in the territory of the Kushan people regardless of the cost.

Naturally, the Kushan people would not agree to the Parthian people's unreasonable demands, so a conflict broke out between the two sides.

The Parthians took advantage of the Kushans' civil strife and quickly occupied Kabul, the important town in the west of the Kushans.

At the same time, news of the failure of Rome's 12-strong army in the Eastern Expedition also spread back to Rome.

The destruction of twenty regular elite legions also dealt a heavy blow to the Roman Empire.

Roman free people, Roman slaves, and various city-states and countries originally conquered by the Romans began to revolt and become independent.

In order to stabilize the situation, the Senate recommended Pertinax as the new emperor.

The captured Commodus was severely denounced.

After Pertinax came to power, he urgently formed five legions, plus several legions retained by Rome, and began to fight around Rome in an attempt to quell the civil strife in Rome.

But it's a pity that Petinax has limited abilities and lacks a foundation of strength.

Pertinax reigned for only three months, during which time many mutinies and conspiracies occurred. In the end, Pertinax was killed by the Guardsmen around him.

Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander took over the throne of Rome from Pertinax.

Severus was a soldier and had the support of soldiers in the army.

A series of high-pressure measures were taken in Rome, and finally the situation in Rome was gradually stabilized.

Kangju Wangcheng.

King Kangju looked at the disheveled Commodus and Vesuthiva I in front of him, full of luck and joy.

Fortunately and secretly, King Kangju did not choose to become an enemy of the Chinese Empire.

So up to now, King Kangju is still living a prosperous and unrestrained life.

On the other hand, look at Vesudeva I and Commodus.

These two people were originally more noble than King Kangju, but now they are no different from slaves.

It is said that when the city of Victory was built, Vesudeva I and Commodus also participated in the labor.

And because the soldiers often blamed Vesudeva I and Commodus for being defeated and captured, they not only had to do the heaviest work, but also suffered the most severe beatings.

Vasudeva I now has white hair.

And Commodus has lost nearly fifty pounds compared to before.

"Translate, tell them both. I am King Kangju. Ask them both to kneel down and talk to me."

The translator conveyed King Kangju's words to Vesudeva I and Commodus verbatim.

Vesudeva I was very sensible. As soon as the translator finished speaking, he knelt down in front of King Kangju with a flattering look on his face.

Commodus wanted to be tough, but unfortunately he was beaten severely before he could say the dirty words, and was eventually forced to the ground by two soldiers.

"I asked someone to bring you here from Victory City and put you two out of the sea of ​​misery. You should kneel down and thank me properly."

When Vesuthiva I nodded vigorously, King Kangju smiled proudly, and then said: "I said you two are really crazy. The Chinese Empire is a giant that no one dares to offend. You can only pay homage to such a giant, how dare you dare to attack the giant?"

"You two are quite lucky. At least you are not dead yet. It is the soldiers who were killed by you who are pitiful."

King Kangju shook his head and wanted to humiliate Vesuthiva I and Kangmodhu, but saw Jia Xu walking from a distance.

As soon as he saw Jia Xu, King Kangju's arrogance instantly disappeared.

He quickly bent down and walked to Jia Xu's side with a flattering look on his face.

"Master Jia, I wonder if the two beauties I gave you last night did their best to serve you? If they didn't..."

Before King Kang Ju could finish speaking, Jia Xu frowned and waved his hand towards King Kang Ju.

"There are real things to do now, so don't talk about these things now."

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business first."

King Kangju bowed slightly and led Jia Xu to the front of Commodus and Vesuthiva I.

"Lord Jia, these two are Vesuthiva I and Commodus. I wonder why Lord Jia asked them to come here?"

"If you are supposed to know, I will let you know. If you are not supposed to know, you'd better not ask."

Having said this, Jia Xu thought for a while, then stared at King Kangju and whispered: "By the way, I heard that not long ago, a Chinese businessman was beaten by your nephew. The reason was that your nephew relied on you Because of the relationship, I didn’t pay for the things I bought.”

Jia Xu's words immediately caused a thin layer of cold sweat to appear on King Kangju's forehead.

He was about to explain, but he heard Jia Xu whisper: "Kill your nephew quickly before this matter reaches His Majesty the Emperor's ears."

King Kangju was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and nodded heavily to Jia Xu.

"Thank you Master Jia for the reminder. I will kill him soon, hang his head on the city gate, and tell everyone not to infringe on the rights of Chinese merchants in the future."
