Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2448: Great Jin has a great general, Yang Su is the vanguard

During these five years, although the Central Plains was very peaceful, Southeast Asia was not peaceful at all.

The Central Plains, including the grasslands, enjoyed a rare five years of peace, but in Southeast Asia, almost half of these five years were spent in war.

The next battle came almost immediately after the previous one was over.

In the early stage, it can be said that it was a territorial dispute between the Southeast Asian Association and the Kushan Empire over the border of Southeast Asia.

However, although the Kushan Empire was extremely powerful, the Parthian Empire was their number one enemy after all. In Southeast Asia, the power that the Kushan Empire could deploy was limited.

Therefore, in Southeast Asia, in the early stages of the war, although the Kushan Empire had gained a considerable advantage, later, as the alliance between Southeast Asian countries deepened, the two sides were once in a stalemate.

The Kushan Empire was unable to sweep across Southeast Asian countries in a short period of time as expected.

However, the Southeast Asian Alliance had no way to expel the Kushan Empire in a short period of time.

Therefore, this area of ​​Southeast Asia can almost be said to have become a quagmire of war.

However, when confronting the equally huge empire-level power of the Parthian Empire for a long time, the Kushan Empire was obviously unwilling to be stuck in such a war for a long time.

Especially after three years of the epidemic, both the Great Jin and the Great Yuan are no longer like they were during the three-year epidemic, when they had no choice but to accept the commercial extortion of the Kushan Empire.

After surviving that disaster, who in the Jin and Yuan dynasties would recognize him?
If they had not been recovering at that time, they might have fought on the spot. Everyone had a good talk about what had happened in the previous few years.

Therefore, during these few years, in addition to the military quagmire in Southeast Asia, the Kushan Empire's diplomatic relations also stagnated and became stagnant.

Bo Diao originally wanted to rely on sucking the blood of the Jin and Yuan dynasties to eliminate the Parthian Empire, which was facing internal and external troubles at the time.

No matter what, the situation of the Parthian Empire at that time had indeed deteriorated to the extreme. Not only did it have frequent internal problems and was it plunged into civil strife, but externally, in addition to the Kushan Empire, the Roman Empire to the west was also fighting with them.

Among the four great empires at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Roman Empire could be said to be the one in the best condition.

The other three empires were either on the verge of extinction or had already entered a period of decline. Only the Roman Empire remained relatively stable.

However, even so, the Parthian Empire was still able to hold on for several more years as it was still a centipede even after its death.

During these few years, the Jin and Yuan dynasties finally overcame the plague and resumed their economic recovery.

This also led to the emergence of the aftereffects of the original wave of offending the two empires.

Therefore, under this background, when the war in Southeast Asia began to fall into a quagmire, the Kushan Empire finally began to be unable to bear it and was unwilling to continue wasting manpower and material resources here.

While they still have certain advantages on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, and the size of the empire is based here, there is still some deterrent power. Therefore, the peace-loving forces within the empire have risen up, and have sent a delegation to negotiate with the Southeast Asian Alliance.

To put it simply, the Kushan Empire didn't have to continue fighting this war, but even at the end, they still wanted to continue to gain some benefits. It was indeed as they thought, facing such a huge imperial power, the Southeast Asian Alliance was also under great pressure and had a heavy burden.

When the Kushan Empire expressed its intention to cease fire and negotiate, although the other side obviously wanted to cheat them in the end, they had no choice but to accept it.

The experiences among Southeast Asian countries fully illustrate what it means that the weak will be beaten.

They are weak, so even if the other party takes the initiative to propose peace talks, they still have to bear the cost of ceding territory and paying compensation, rather than being in a superior position as the victorious party.

After all, although the Kushan Empire was unwilling to continue to be stuck in the quagmire of war, it did not mean that the other side was really unable to continue fighting and was really unable to continue to compete with Southeast Asia.

The Southeast Asian countries understand this and are therefore forced to make compromises.

This war took place in Southeast Asia. The longer it lasted, the greater the losses they would suffer.

In comparison, it would be better to grit your teeth, cut a little meat, and let the wolf leave as soon as possible.

Although the Kushan Empire left, this war officially broke the balance among Southeast Asian countries. The original three major powers in Southeast Asia, as the main force against the Kushan Empire, were severely damaged in that war.

It is precisely because of this that the small countries below are unwilling to be left out and want to take this opportunity to emerge.

Especially the Southern Chu Dynasty, the instigator of all these things, is the one who is most unwilling to be left out.

The Southern Chu Dynasty was also a very important part in the process of fighting against the Kushan Empire, and they suffered heavy losses in this war.

However, their gains in this battle were also considerable.

Originally, Southeast Asia was quite repulsive to Southern Chu, but with the help of the Southeast Asian Alliance, the Southern Chu Dynasty naturally broke this repulsion and established various connections with various countries, especially commercial connections.

Under Yu Ji's suggestion, Nan Chu spread various technologies brought from the Central Plains, including papermaking, printing and various cultures, to Southeast Asian countries.

Of course, it is not free dissemination, but paid dissemination.

It was also during this process, relying on this method, that the national strength of Southern Chu developed rapidly during this period of time.

Therefore, after the great war and stalemate with the Kushan Empire, Southeast Asia officially entered a stage of melee among countries.

Moreover, after several years of intermittent work, there is still no result until now.

It was in this context that the Great Jin Dynasty launched its southern expedition and decided to bring Southeast Asia under its leadership. On the basis of the existing territory, the Great Jin Dynasty added a new state, Qiongzhou.

The battle hasn't officially begun yet, but Li Xiang has even come up with a name for this state. It can be seen that he has probably been thinking about this matter for more than just a day or two.

After the order was passed down, the main army was still in the stage of gathering food and fodder, but Yang Su, the general of the vanguard army, had already led 20,000 mountain soldiers and left Jiaozhou first.
