"Yes!" Zheng Yuan responded quickly.

In the seventh month of Yongxi's reign, in the third month of spring, in the west of Gaochang Road, in Kucha Prefecture and Wachi County.

This small border county built on the banks of the Toshgan River has become a mediation venue for disputes between the two countries "Kang and Yu". Facts have proved that when Luoyang's firm and clear imperial order was conveyed, no one dared to explode, even if they were unruly and unruly.

Kang Wang Liu Ye.

On the bank of the Toshgan River, a camp rose from the ground. A battalion of the northwest frontier army was closely guarding it. There were also vehicles, ceremonial guards and entourage of the "four kings" surrounding it.

As the special envoy of the imperial court, Yang Yanlang, the commander of the Hexi capital, rushed to Wochi County to preside over this "Military Meeting". In addition to the two main leaders, Liu Ye, the king of Kangju, and the old king of Khotan, Yuchi Sangharama, were present.

In addition, Liu Min, the king of Anxi, was ordered to "secure the government", and Liu Wenggong, the prince of the Northern Court, also attended the meeting for unknown reasons.

I don't know if it was because the deterrence of the emperor's order was too strong, but this military meeting was much easier than Yang Yanlang imagined. There was no too fierce dispute, and both sides put forward their respective demands in a relaxed manner.

In the end, it was discovered that the only point of contention between the two sides was one place. Liu Ye proposed that both parties should jointly manage the city of Ya'er, which was something that the Khotanese side could not compromise on.

The city of Ya'erkan is the most important military fortress in the north of Khotan. It can be called the key to the north gate. It is also an important stronghold on the east-west trade route. Business is prosperous and trade is developed. At that time, surrounding this area, many people with Khotan

The war with the Black Khanate has been going back and forth for many years, and many people have died. How could it be easily shared with Kang Juguo?

Liu Ye's most important consideration was that Ya'er saw that this place was too close to Shule, and the threat on the side of the bed was really stuck in his throat and he could not let go.

Seeing that Khotan's side was resolute, they retreated to the next best thing and demanded that Ya'er be "demilitarized". Only administrative and security personnel would be retained for management on weekdays, and Khotan's troops would be withdrawn and not allowed to move in.

There seems to be room for discussion on this point, but not even a single soldier is stationed, which is not acceptable to the Kingdom of Khotan. After repeated pushback, the King of Khotan agreed to only garrison a thousand troops in Ya'er.

, Liu Ye also accepted it.

The most difficult thing to talk about, Ya'er, was settled, and the rest of the matters were no longer a big problem. So, on March 12, the seventh year of Yongxi's reign, under the witness of the imperial court, Anxi, and Beiting, "Kang Yu

"The two countries reached a consensus in Wachi County and signed the "Wachi Treaty."

This can be regarded as a fair treaty. Both parties agreed to restrain their armies, stop attacking each other, control border conflicts, restore border market trade, protect the legitimate rights and interests of merchants on both sides, etc. In addition, the garrison treaty in the Yaerkan area

Judging from the content, the Khotan Kingdom still adopted a certain compromise attitude. After all, it was Kang Guo who initiated the incident, and they were the ones who took a step back in the end. There is no way, might is justice, and it is not that big of a deal.

It's easy. Who taught them that their surname is Yuchi instead of Liu?

In fact, compared to official history, the Kingdom of Khotan was relatively lucky. After all, it did not experience the forty-year religious war with the Black Khan Dynasty. The country's vitality was retained a lot, and it was protected by the Han Empire.

Less beneficial.

However, when Kang Juguo, who also came from the Han Empire system, began to covet it, the response measures it took were still lacking. The pressure of a unified empire on the surrounding small countries was too great.

Khotan did not have any depth or natural defenses.

This time, through the tough attitude of not sparing war and borrowing the power of the center, they were able to stop Kang Wang Liu Ye from trying. But what about next time? No one knows how long this "peace treaty" will last.

I don't know whether it was due to fatigue from the journey or depression. Shortly after signing the "Japanese Peace Treaty" and returning to Khotan, the King of Khotan died. This triggered a civil strife in the Khotan royal family, and finally Yuchi went to Luoyang as an envoy.

Baoxiang became the final winner and successfully seized the throne.

When Liu Ye learned about this, he felt that it was a pity that he had missed an opportunity to annex Khotan. However, at that time, Liu Ye could no longer care about Khotan.

Because Liu Min, the king of Anxi, was leading the two kings of Kangju and Beiting to do a big thing: the Western Expedition!

Shortly after the peace talks between the two countries "Kangyu", also in Wachi County, Liu Min, Liu Ye, Liu Wen, uncle and nephew, took the opportunity to have an alliance, and the three parties agreed to conquer the Samanid Dynasty.

In less than ten years, Liu Min carried out a thorough transformation of the Anxi Kingdom. The camp system he built was completely rolled out under Anxi's rule. The Anxi army and the people who were satisfied with their political and class treatment were also stable, and a strong and powerful army was established.

The aggressive feudal regime was also born under his hands. At the same time, it took another six or seven years to improve the system, restore production, and develop the economy.

Even Liu Ye's Kang State had the energy and strength to plot in Khotan, not to mention the Anxi State, which was the main inheritor of the Han's Western Expeditions?

The possible second YSL coalition failed to form successfully because the Arab world was in chaos during this period.

The Bouveshi dynasty, which once "held the emperor to order the princes," was in civil strife, with internal fighting within the family and conflicts between the Turks and the Delam people, which led to the rapid decline of this once powerful dynasty, which was on the verge of splitting.

The Saffar dynasty, which occupied the eastern part of Iran, also began to enter the end of its dynasty. The Ziyar dynasty in the north was even more of a loser, facing only the fate of being humiliated.

The only decent Ghaznavid dynasty, although its national power is still developing upwards, is wholeheartedly attacking the YSL brothers, attacking Safar in the west and Samanid in the north. As for the dignity of the Arab world and the glory of YSL, they still care about it for the time being.

Not on.

As a neighbor, the Samanid dynasty was also on the verge of collapse. The capital city of Puhualuo (Bukhara) basically lost its binding force on the local area. It was difficult to control the governors and generals, let alone the Han people in the east.

How could Liu Min sit still under such a situation, and the Anxi system he built also needed to expand to absorb nutrients and enhance its vitality. As the mother country of the Han Dynasty, of course it could not be the target of conquest, and what Bing Feng was referring to was

There is only the Samanid dynasty.

So, in the summer of the seventh year of Yongxi's reign, in April, when Emperor Liu Yang of the Han Dynasty was still on his way to patrol the west, he received news from Anxi. The war still started, but it was not a small war between the two countries of "Kang and Yu".

It was a small commotion, but it was the large-scale westward expedition of the Three Kingdoms of Anxi.

With Liu Min as the commander-in-chief, the three countries sent a total of more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry troops to gather at Juzhanti on the south bank of the Hong River. The target was the important town in the river where the Han army's counterattack stopped in the previous war: Samatan (Samarkand).

).This time, the Three Kingdoms were obviously aiming to destroy the Samanid Dynasty.

In this regard, Liu Yang was speechless for a moment. For that moment, he didn't know whether to support them or not. In the end, he chose to be the backing of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, free donations were impossible, and only allowed Hexi and Gaochang.

Raise supplies and livestock to prepare for sale to the Three Kingdoms.

We are not afraid that the Three Kingdoms will not be able to afford it. After all, the Samanid dynasty is an old Hezhong dynasty and has some financial resources. Hexi and Gaochang 2nd Road may also be able to follow the Three Kingdoms and drink some broth.

At the same time, Liu Yang also ordered that the artillery and ammunition originally intended for "military aid" to the Three Kingdoms be sent as quickly as possible. They would obviously be useful on the battlefield.

Different from the anxiety caused by the "Kang Yu Conflict", the Western Expedition of the Three Kingdoms also made Liu Yang have some small doubts in his heart, but his mentality was calmer. The fundamental reason is probably that this time there is no need for a big man to end it personally.

There is no need to waste military and civilian money and food and national power.
