Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2431 Three Empires, Three Kingdoms Hegemony

"Your Majesty, the Southern Province Governor Ji Dan has sent a message that the Kushans' asking price has increased by another 30%!"

When Wang Meng mentioned the Kushans, he showed a hint of disgust. In the past three years, they in the Great Jin Dynasty were indeed disgusted by the Kushans.

During these three years, Dajin not only developed business ties with the countries in Southeast Asia, but also successfully established business ties with the Kushan Empire.

The Indian region is also an area with fairly developed agriculture.

Over the past three years, due to the impact of the plague, agricultural production in a large number of regions has been destroyed. Therefore, Li Xiang is short of food and actively purchases food from Southeast Asia and Kushan. He doesn't even care if the price is a little higher.

Special times are not the time to be fussy. These things are worthless compared to the lives of millions of people.

“Kushan!”

"One day, when the Great Jin has recovered from this, we will destroy their country and destroy their capital!"

When Li Xiang heard that Kushan's asking price was higher, his expression became a little colder.

Over the past three years, after learning about the current situation of the Jin Dynasty, the Kushans have taken advantage of the situation again and again, raising their asking price again and again.

The price of grain asked by the Kushan Empire was five times higher than the normal market price of the Jin Dynasty.

In comparison, the small countries in Southeast Asia were much more obedient. They knew that Dajin was in a weak state at this time, so they did not dare to act recklessly. After all, even if Dajin was weak, it would not be difficult to deal with them if they really wanted to.

The greed of the Kushan Empire today laid the groundwork for their future demise, and they were attacked jointly by the three empires.

Yes, many years later, the Kushan Empire, one of the four great empires of the time, was destroyed by the three great empires. Although the three great empires did not unite, they attacked the Kushan Empire one after another. The Kushan Empire could not withstand such a war, and its national strength could only continue to decline and eventually perished.

These three empires were Li Xiang's Great Jin, the Yuan Dynasty in the north, and the newly established Sassanid Empire further west.

The reason why the Yuan Dynasty wanted to deal with the Kushan Dynasty was the same as that of the Jin Dynasty. During these three years, not only the Jin Dynasty was taken advantage of by the Kushans, but the Yuan and Mongolia were also taken advantage of by the Kushans.

During these three years, not only the Jin Dynasty, but also the Yuan and Mongolian Dynasties started commercial trade with the Kushan Empire.

Although the Kushan Empire had been raising the price continuously over the past three years, almost to the point of blatant robbery, both Li Xiang and Temujin had no choice but to accept it.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
Once they have survived this disaster, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities to have a good talk!

They would naturally weigh the pros and cons and would not act on their anger. Acting on their anger would be meaningless and would not improve the situation of their people. They would endure their anger at this time and exchange life-saving food from the Kushans to help their people survive the crisis. In the future, there would naturally be no shortage of opportunities for revenge.

During these three years, the Kushan Empire obtained a large amount of pig iron from the Jin Dynasty, and a large number of war horses, cattle, sheep and camels from the Mongols.

In fact, today, Potiao, the lord of the Kushan Empire, as the last great emperor of the Kushan Empire in history, doesn’t he know that this behavior offends two great empires?

But what can he do at this time?
From 183 AD, during the more than ten years of the reign of Hubishka II, the Kushan Empire's control over Central Asia weakened, Kangju and Dayuan broke free from their control, and Khorasan and Khwarezm also broke away from Kushan rule.

Although within just a few years after Thabodhi came to power, the Kushan power began to expand again in Central Asia and once again regained control of Khwarezm.

However, it still did not reach Bodiao's ideal. Bodiao hoped that the Kushan Empire could once again reach its peak in his hands, or even surpass its peak.

At its peak, the Kushan Empire not only conquered the northwest of the Indian subcontinent, but also expanded its sphere of influence to Khwarezm in Central Asia and annexed Sistan. The country's power grew greatly and formed a huge empire in Central Asia. The empire stretched from Patna in the east to Herat in the west, from the Nabada River in the south to the Aral Sea in the north.

The current Kushan Empire is still far from Bodiao's ideal.

Not to mention, although the Sassanid Empire had not yet been officially established at this time, the Sassanid King Ardashir I had begun to rise, and the Kushan Empire had to form an alliance with Kusnois of Armenia to fight against the Sassanids.

Whether it was out of the need to fight against the Sassanids in the west or out of the need to restore the Kushan hegemony in Central Asia, Bodiao needed to take advantage of the weakness of the two countries and strengthen the Kushan national strength by sucking the blood of these two countries.

Moreover, Bodiao also hoped to defeat the rising Sassanid Empire by sucking the blood of the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, and take advantage of the fact that the Parthian Empire, also known as the Parthian Empire, is now at its weakest state to annex this huge empire in one fell swoop, and completely allow the Kushan Empire to surpass its peak period a hundred years ago from his hands.

Therefore, even if they offended the Great Jin and the Great Yuan, what would it matter? Their Kushan Empire also had a population of tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so they still had the confidence.

Furthermore, Bo Diao was very clear that Da Jin and Da Yuan would not be able to recover for quite a long time. If he completed his strategic plan during this period, what would Da Yuan and Da Jin mean?
Not to mention, the relationship between the Kushans and the Mongols was not very good to begin with, so it would not matter whether they offended each other or not!
It must be said that with this wave, the current Kushan is much stronger than the Kushan in the same period in history.

Not only did it strengthen its control over Central Asia, but it also gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Sassanids for a time. In recent years, it even extended its reach into Southeast Asia.

However, Bodhi overestimated his ability. Not long after, Ardashir I still destroyed the Parthian Empire and formally established the Sassanid Empire, the Second Persian Empire, starting a long and full-scale war with the Kushan Empire.

The Jin Dynasty and the Mongolian Mongols, which had gradually recovered from the plague, followed the example of the Kushan Empire and added insult to injury, and even doubled their tactics. In the end, under the successive sieges of the three empires, this great empire with a population of tens of millions was destroyed prematurely, and all the population and land were divided up by the three empires.

From then on, the Persian Sassanid Empire began to gradually establish its hegemony over West Asia, while the Mongols occupied half of the grasslands and established its hegemony over Central Asia. As for the Jin Dynasty, while unifying the Han area, it also established its hegemony over Southeast Asia during this period and extended its reach into South Asia.

After that, there was a years-long all-out confrontation between the two major military groups of the grassland group, centered on the Great Jin and the Yuan Meng.
