In fact, the Kushan army's preparation speed far exceeded Guan Yu and others' expectations.

For Shan Ta'nu and his group, now that they had made up their minds, they were determined to carry them out with all their might.

The idea of ​​preparing for war before launching an expedition was simply giving the Han Empire time to prepare. If both sides were fully prepared, could they possibly defeat the Han Empire's army?

No matter how confident or idealistic they were, they were all aware of the true nature of the outcome of the war.

Conversely, what would happen if a battle were to break out when neither side was prepared?

If there's a gap between their peak performances, then let's not push them to their limits. Let's all fight at a level where we're not in top form. Even if there's a gap, it won't be as large as the gap between their peak performances.

It's fortunate that Shan Ta Nu and the others didn't have any talent that weakens others, otherwise they really wouldn't mind a chaotic battle.

Even for the Brahman soldiers throughout the south, the talent for chaotic battles is truly a valuable asset.

While possessing strong capabilities and achieving significant results, it greatly weakens the support of organizational and command abilities, placing greater emphasis on individual combat strength and small-scale coordinated combat effectiveness.

In this respect, Brahmins, with their superior internal energy reserves and stronger individual abilities, clearly have an advantage.

Southerners, in particular, who are known for their many experts and high overall internal energy levels, are far ahead in this regard.

However, if it's not there, it's not there, no matter how much you think about it.

In fact, for most countries in the world, it is very difficult to customize a single talent, and customizing soldiers with two or more talents is the exclusive domain of a few individuals.

With the aim of catching the enemy off guard and dragging both sides into a quagmire of war, Shan Ta Nu led his army out to war shortly after the Han scouts had left.

In addition, another army attacking Ye Pingguo, under the cover and interference of Shan Ta Nu and others, was rushing rapidly towards the northeast.

This team is small in number, but extremely powerful in combat.

There were more than ten experts who could separate their internal energy from their bodies, and all the other followers and soldiers were experts who had reached the Qi Refining stage or above.

Although it only has a size of three or four hundred people, its combat power is absolutely no less than that of the Military Soul Legion, which is twice the size.

Given their combat capabilities and the rapid breakthrough ability afforded by their small numbers, it was more than enough for them to enter Ye Ping Kingdom and complete their mission.

The prerequisite is that they can complete the mission and attract the attention of the main force of the Han Empire.

To accomplish this task, Shantani led his Brahman generals directly towards the river east of the fortress, heading towards the grain-growing areas of the Han Empire.

As Shan Ta Nu led his army into battle, he glanced at the officers and generals around him, his mind growing serious as he quickly considered what was about to happen and how to deal with the war that might come.

Carano, Amir, Banat, Leblair, Surapuri.

The number of officers and generals who have left their bodies with internal energy is far lower than the previous average.

However, even with just these few, it was only through considerable effort that Shan Ta'nu managed to acquire such a number of generals.

To complete the tasks assigned above, a considerable number of skilled individuals are needed. Furthermore, to protect the fortress, the personnel remaining to guard it cannot all be incompetent. As a result, only these seven high-ranking generals remain to lead the entire army on the expedition.

Even with this number of experts, it's still less than the number of people on the other path, and less than the number of people who stayed behind.

Another very important reason is the assessment and characterization of this war.

Shan Ta Nu viewed this war as a feint attack to draw the attention of the Han Empire's army, rather than a true decisive battle.

Victory or defeat is not important; what matters is stalling for enough time. Once the mission is accomplished, we can begin preparing for retreat.

Therefore, the number of high-ranking generals is no longer important.

Sometimes having too many high-ranking generals isn't necessarily a good thing.

With the help of the Brahmins' prestige and commands, Shantana was indeed able to command many generals, but before he had enough battle achievements and experience, how many of them could truly obey him in every way?

On the battlefield, disobedience, or even slow response when obeying orders, are often fatal flaws.

Therefore, among the twenty-seven generals and officers at the front line who had their internal energy separated from their bodies, Shan Ta Nu brought along six who were loyal to the Brahmins, while also sending experts from within the Brahmin system to complete the mission.

As for those who remained to guard the fortress, they were handed over to many of the generals who originally served under Rahul.

He is capable enough, but his inner attitude is something to ponder.

Especially among the Brahmin class, Shantana was able to perceive the different thoughts in their hearts.

These people were far more loyal to Raphael than to the Brahmins.

Although Rahul was also a Brahmin and there was nothing wrong with what he did, recalling other people's opinions of Rahul and the few rumors circulating within the Brahmin system, all indicated that this matter was not simple.

"It is precisely because Rahul's army is strong and his Peacock Legion is incredibly powerful that certain unexpected measures are ineffective, thus maintaining the current stalemate." Shan Ta Nu recalled the words of a certain Brahmin and couldn't help but feel more in agreement.

In a sense, everything Rahul did was destroying the foundation of Brahmanism. Even if it was slow and the core pillars remained unchanged, it did not change the fundamental nature of the Brahmanism.

It could be said that Rahul was warned by the Brahmins from the very beginning when he started doing this.

After all, the main task of the Brahmins at that time was to undermine the Kushan Empire, bring it to the brink of collapse, and ultimately make it lose its military power, so that it would submit to the Brahmanical cultural system, eventually become one with it, and then allow the empire to continue to exist.

Whether this empire was the Yuezhi or the Brahmans was no longer important at that time.

However, Rahul reorganized his military leaders, trained a strong army, and created a threat and formidable force in the south.

This threatening and formidable nature also heightened the Yuezhi people's vigilance, causing them to hesitate to abandon their large army and reduce its size.

So much so that it took the Brahmins over twenty years to undermine the foundation of the Kushan Empire and eventually eliminate its younger generation.

Without Rahul, this time could probably be reduced by half again, and we could already be seeing the harvest.

Unfortunately, the army trained by Rahul was extremely powerful, and Rahul himself was a formidable fighter, making it impossible to eliminate them silently. (End of Chapter)
