The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 234 Conquering Persia, Unprepared

With Liu Bian's suggestion, Huo Qubing accepted thirteen names from these nomadic warriors in one go.

As the favorite generals of the Han emperor, Liu Bian personally gave them names.

These grassland lowly slaves who had no names originally had Chinese names such as Huo Cunzhong, Huo Cunyi, and Huo Cunxiao.

They transformed themselves and became adopted sons of the Great General of the Great Han Dynasty. It can be said that they reached the sky in one step, and they were all grateful.

Although, the age of Huo Qubing's adoptive father is actually about the same age as them.

But who cares?

Soon, Liu Bian's army marched to the location of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

General Wei Qing led his two sons Wei Ping and Wei Xing out of the city to greet him.

When they saw the huge army, they immediately dismounted to meet them.

"Chen Weiqing, greet Your Majesty!"

"Be flat!"

When the monarch and his ministers met, they were naturally extremely enthusiastic.

It's been two years since I saw this kind of general.

However, Liu Bian came here not for this face-to-face basis, but for a more important national war.

After entering the Dadu Protectorate, Liu Bian immediately held a military meeting.

"What is the reaction of the Anxi Empire now? Has anyone sent someone to ask for an explanation?" Liu Bian asked.

As the heirs of the Persian Empire, if they are willing to admit their mistakes and pay compensation, it is not impossible for Liu Bian to negotiate peace.

However, Wei Qing shook his head.

"Your Majesty, no one from the Parthian Empire has ever come."

"Hmph, that's about to start a war." Liu Bian sneered.

"Your Majesty, now that the two armies are assembled, it is enough to gather [-] troops to conquer the Anxi Empire in the west. I am not afraid at all!" Huo Qubing challenged to fight vigorously.

"Okay, since this is the case, let's formulate the marching process!" Liu Bian said.

As the person most familiar with the situation, Wei Qing immediately formulated a battle plan and reported it to Liu Bian for a decision.

Wei Qing unfolded a map, on which was the entire Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, please see that Wusun, Dawan, Kangju and other ministries have basically surrendered. Our army is going out, so it can be said that there is no worries."

"To the east of the Parthian Empire, there are two allies. One is Khorezm in the north, and the other is Guishuang Kingdom."

"If our army attacks the Parthian Empire, we must first remove these two barriers."

Afterwards, Liu Bian determined the battle plan.

The [-] Han soldiers were divided into three groups, with Huo Qubing as the vanguard, sweeping ahead to open the way, and went straight to the Anxi Empire.

The other route was led by brothers Wei Ping and Wei Xing, marching southward, first surrendering to the Guishuang Empire, and then turning west to meet Huo Qubing.

The last route was led by Liu Bian and Wei Qing personally. Starting from the north, they first cleaned up the Khwarizm people, and then went straight into Parthia from the north.

At that time, one hundred thousand troops gathered at the border of Parthia, and then entered the hinterland of Parthia together.

"Okay, the plan is made, we will rest for a month, make all the preparations, and then enter the army!"

Liu Bian ordered.

"As your majesty!"

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others agreed in unison.

The news that more than [-] Han troops gathered in the Protectorate of the Western Regions and was about to march westward to crusade against the Anxi Empire spread quickly.

The news of this terrible war spread like flying to the territory of Anxi Persia.

Rest of the Empire.

Taixi closed the city.

The Parthian Empire that the Han talked about actually had another name, which spread more widely, and that was the Parthian Empire.

Parthian Emperor Volokis VI was worrying in the palace of the capital Tessiphon at this time.

However, he was not worried about the upcoming personal conquest of the emperor of the Han Empire, but for the Roman Empire in the west.

The Roman Emperor Caracalla launched another war against Armenia.

The power that the Parthian Empire had established there was at the end of its rope, and the Parthian Parthian Empire was unable to support it at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the prestige of his empire was wiped out.

At this time, an old man walked in outside the palace gate.

It was the Prime Minister of the Parthian Empire, Bermela the Wise.

"Honorable King of Kings, I have some bad news to report to you!"

The Prime Minister of the Empire, Bermela the Wise, bowed deeply and said.

"What news, could it be that the Armenians have completely surrendered?" Volokis VI said.

The complete loss of Armenia has long been in his prediction.

"Your Majesty, this news is probably worse than this!" Prime Minister Bermela said.

"What news, tell me!" Volokis VI was also curious.

"The information I just received is that the ruler of the Cathay Empire in the east has gathered an army of [-] and is about to invade our empire's territory!" Bermela said.

The Cathay Empire is a country from ancient India to ancient Persia, and it is the name of the Eastern Central Plains Empire.

"What, the Cathay Empire?" Volokis VI was immediately surprised when he heard this.

According to the legend of the Parthian Empire, this great eastern empire was very rich, prosperous, and extremely powerful.

However, the distance between the two countries is too far. These legends can only be legends, and not many Persians have witnessed them with their own eyes.

"We don't have hatred, why did they come to start the war?" Volokis VI wondered.

"That's not because of Artaban. He ambushed, robbed and killed the caravan of the Cathay Empire. Hundreds of people died. They will definitely come for revenge." Bermela said.

Artaban is the younger brother of the current Parthian Emperor Volokis VI.

He is also a prince of the Parthian Empire.

"It's just a few hundred people. These Cathayans will not really send troops. They must be trying to scare us. We just need to wait for them to send people to negotiate." Volokis VI didn't think it was true at all. .

"However, the news is very true. If you are not prepared, once you are invaded, you will be in danger." said the imperial prime minister, Bermela.

Volokis VI was very upset when he heard the words.

"Now that the Romans have occupied our territory many times, they are the real enemies. The military and financial resources of the empire can only be used to deal with the Romans who are really threatening."

"The Cathayans who are thousands of miles away cannot threaten us at all. Our eastern allies Khorezm and Kushan alone can already prevent them from moving forward."

"If these so-called Eastern Empire people want revenge, just come, our Persian warriors will let them taste what death and failure are!"

For the distant Eastern Han Empire, Volokis VI did not consider it a threat at all.

Thousands of miles of mountainous grasslands and high mountains are enough to make any army daunting, let alone a hundred thousand troops!

Even if the Easterners can really send troops to take revenge, at most 1 people will reach the Persian border, and the God of Light will already bless them.
