War is an art.

The only criterion for judging whether it is artistic or not is to destroy the enemy and preserve yourself.

The Chinese army is very strong, and its military configuration, tactics and tactics are far superior to the Roman army and Kushan army in this era.

But even so, Wei Chu would not let the soldiers have too many head-to-head confrontations with the enemy on the battlefield.

Turn the soldiers of Kangju Kingdom and Kushan Kingdom into puppet troops and let them consume the enemy's power on the battlefield.

By using them to absorb the enemy's hatred, the Chinese army reaps the benefits.

It is in the best interest of the Chinese Empire to use non-war means to obtain the resources they want.

It is precisely because of this that we have today’s conversation.

Vesudeva I was a very smart person, and he did not want to follow the path set by Wei Chu.

But it's a pity that he is in a worrying situation and has no choice.

If Wei Chu is rejected, Vesudev I will anger Wei Chu.

The consequences of irritating Wei Chu, Vesudeva I knew with his heels, would be very miserable.

After a moment of silence, Vesutiva I nodded towards Wei Chu.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your willingness to provide me with help. When I return to take charge of the Kushan Empire, I will definitely repay His Majesty the Emperor for his great kindness."

"Okay, I've been waiting for this from you."

Wei Chu waved to the side.

Soon a soldier came over holding a large roll of brand new paper.

"Now we can sign the agreement."

"sign the agreement?"

Vesudev I couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Wei Chu.

"Yes, sign the agreement."

Jia Xu walked to Vesuthiva I's side with a smile, and put her big fat hands on Vesuthiva I's shoulders.

"His Majesty the King, please hire the Chinese Empire to send troops to help you suppress the rebellion. Afterwards, you need to give the Chinese Empire [-] million taels of silver as a reward for hiring soldiers to fight."

"At the same time, because the Kushan Empire brazenly sent troops this time, it also caused huge losses to the Chinese Empire. The Kushan Empire also needs to pay war compensation. The compensation is [-] million taels of silver."

"In total, the Kushan Empire needs to give the Chinese Empire [-] million taels of silver."

"Three hundred million taels of silver!"

After hearing what the translator said, Vesudeva I's eyes widened immediately.

According to what Vesudev I knew, the silver in the Kushan Empire's treasury had never exceeded 3000 million taels.

The Kushan Empire would never be able to afford [-] million silver.

"Sorry, we can't afford [-] million silver."

As if he had expected this, Jia Xu smiled gently and then said: "Your Majesty the King can rest assured. Considering that the Kushan Empire cannot afford so much money at once, we allow your country to make installment payments."

"installment?"

This brand-new term was a bit beyond Vesudeva I's expectations.

"Yes, the Kushan Empire can repay the compensation over 30 years."

After hearing what Jia Xu said, Vesutiva I thought for a while and said, "In other words, we only need to pay 1000 million taels of silver every year."

"No no no!"

Jia Xu waved his hand gently and continued to speak in a gentle tone: "In installments, you need to pay interest on the remaining balance. The interest is not too high. For every 100 taels of unpaid silver, the annual benefit is ten taels." , the profit is compounded.”

Without waiting for Vesuthiva I to do the calculation, Jia Xu smiled again and said: "If Kushan is still unable to pay the high amount of money, we also allow you to use taxes, special products, grain and other things to pay off the debt at a discount."

Vesuthiva I was stunned for another moment, and then she gradually came to her senses.

The Chinese Empire wanted to use this agreement to completely hollow out and control the Kushan Empire.

Vasudeva I could imagine it now.

In order to pay for China's huge amount of silver, almost the entire Kushan Empire had to become slaves of the Chinese Empire.

Everything that grows on the land belongs to the Chinese Empire.

The profits gained from doing business also belong to the Chinese Empire.

The key point is that the strength of the Kushan Empire is far inferior to that of the Huaxia Empire, and they have no way to default on their debts.

"Your Majesty the King, if we sign an agreement, our army will take you back to the Kushan Empire as soon as possible, and we will ensure that you can regain your throne in the shortest possible time."

"Your Majesty the King, if you are unwilling to sign the agreement, then please ask His Majesty the King to continue to contribute to Victory City. Even without His Majesty the King, our army will still be involved in the Kushan Empire. No matter who becomes the emperor of the Kushan Empire next, we All armies will force the other party to agree to pay war reparations."

Jia Xu's words acted as a great threat.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Vesuthiva I couldn't help but have a thin layer of cold sweat on his back.

After a while, Vesudeva I said with a bitter look on his face: "I agree to sign the agreement."

"it is good!"

Wei Chu sat aside and smiled and said: "When His Majesty the King signs the agreement, I will take His Majesty the King to wash up and have a rest. After seven days, let Lu Bu and Kangju General Otto lead the coalition forces to accompany His Majesty the King. Return to Kushan.”

Otto is the general of the Kangju Kingdom.

He had an army of 5 men at his disposal.

This army of 5 people was the last armed force of the Kangju Kingdom.

As Otto follows Lu Bu to Kushan, there will no longer be soldiers from the Kangju Kingdom on the mainland of the Kangju Kingdom. At that time, the army of the Chinese Empire will completely take over the Kangju Kingdom.

The entire Kangju Kingdom would become an undefended country for the Chinese Empire.

Commodus was a little panicked when he saw Vesudeva I leaving.

He quickly said to Wei Chu: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I can also sign a similar agreement with you. As long as the army of the Chinese Empire can help me regain the throne. Rome can also pay your country [-] million taels of silver, and I can also work with you. Sign up for installment payment.”

Wei Chu glanced at Commodus and said: "The territory of the Roman Empire is wider than that of the Kushan Empire. This time the number of troops sent by the Roman Empire is twice that of the Kushan Empire."

"If you want our help, you need to pay at least one billion taels of silver."

"A billion?"

Kang Maode was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily to Wei Chu.

"A billion, I agree."

Commodus answered decisively, but Wei Chu shook his head slightly after listening to Commodus' words.

"Your situation is different from that of Vesutiva I. Helping you regain the throne is almost as difficult as occupying Rome. So I need to think again about how to deal with you."

"But you can rest assured that I will not let you return to Victory City again. You can stay in Kangju King City and get a completely independent house. In return, you need to give all the important information you know about Rome. Put it on paper.”
