Gao Xianzhi said: "That's right, I went to the Kushan Empire alone and fought to the death with Ogedei with the help of local troops."

"Borrowing troops from other kingdoms is certainly a common way... I'm afraid that the Kushan King will not be satisfied."

Ban Chao knew that the Western Regions Protectorate often recruited troops from various vassals, so it was not impossible to use the Kushan Empire's troops to resist Ogedei.

"Believe me, I will definitely defeat Ogedei."

After Gao Xianzhi and Ban Chao briefly discussed, Ban Chao acquiesced Gao Xianzhi's idea.

If only Gao Xianzhi went to the Kushan Empire alone and did not take away the troops left by Dayuan Kingdom, then the Western Regions Protectorate could be completely acceptable.

Gao Xianzhi found the envoy of the Kushan King.

After hearing this, the envoy of the Kushan King frowned.

The Western Regions Protectorate actually planned to send Gao Xianzhi alone.

This is far from the 200,000 reinforcements requested by the Kushan King.

Gao Xianzhi didn't care, because this was his best opportunity to make achievements: "Take me to see the King of Kushan. As long as he dares to lend me troops, he may not be unable to win."

...

"I ordered you to borrow 200,000 elite troops from the Western Regions Protectorate, but that's the end?"

The Kushan King sat on the throne, looking down at the envoys coming down below, and Gao Xianzhi, a military general from the Western Regions Protectorate who came with him.

The envoy couldn't help but sweat: "This... It is said that most of the Western Regions protected the pass and participated in the wars within the Han Empire, so there was not much force to help us. General Gao Xianzhi claimed that he could use our troops to resist Ogedei."

"Is there also wars within the Han Empire..."

The white-haired Kushan King looked at Gao Xianzhi who arrived. This was a general from the Western Regions Protectorate. It was Gao Xianzhi who led the main force of the Western Regions Protectorate to cross the Pamir Plateau and came to Central Asia.

Gao Xianzhi's ability lies in the marching of mountains and decisive battles head-on, and may not be good at it.

"Since you are here on behalf of the Western Regions Protectorate, I hope you don't disappoint me. I can borrow 50,000 troops to you, and then consider the situation and increase the troops."

The Kushan King didn't know whether Gao Xianzhi was reliable, so he only dared to lend 50,000 troops to commander Gao Xianzhi.

"How many soldiers are available in the Kushan Empire?"

“At least three million.”

The Kushan King was quite proud of his military strength.

"Three million?"

Gao Xianzhi quickly saw the reality of the Kushan King.

If the three million soldiers and horses that the Kushan King said were true, then the situation of the Kushan Empire would not be so unfavorable, and it was suppressed and beaten by hundreds of thousands of people in Ogedei.

"The Kushan Empire's population is less than 10,000, so why can it support three million elites? It is related to the life and death of the Kushan Empire, and there is no need to deceive me."

The Kushan King hesitated for a while and finally replied: "If it were elite, there might be seven or eight hundred thousand..."

"There are seventy-eight hundred thousand veterans, probably only 200,000 to 300,000 high-level soldiers."

Gao Xianzhi knew that if the Kushan Empire wanted to maintain three million war soldiers, it basically needed to mobilize a total of people, most of them were new recruits. What the Kushan King said was probably true.

"King, Subutai defeated Prince Taktu, and a hundred thousand troops were slaughtered by Subutai!"

"It's outrageous..."

When the Kushan King heard that the battle was defeated again in front of him, the 100,000 troops died under the butcher knife of Subutai. The entire Kushan Empire was frightened and panic.

A defeat of such a scale will be a major blow to the entire empire, not just the loss of troops, but the blow to morale will be no more.

Kushan Wangqiu's tone was trembling: "Is the prince still alive?"

"Prince Taktu commanded a cavalry and escaped in time."

The Kushan King felt relieved.

The 100,000 army can be re-enlisted. If his son is killed, it will be difficult to cultivate another heir.

Gao Xianzhi heard about Subutai's record and his expression was cautious.

In addition to several small losses, Subutai has always performed well, from the East to the West, and tried to conquer Central and South Asia.

In one battle, the slaughter of 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Kushan Empire caused a major earthquake, which made people panic and feared the Mongolian and Turkic cavalry. Such abilities are not something ordinary generals can possess.

Gao Xianzhi was a little proud and had confidence in repelling Ogedei, but the current commander of the Mongol Empire, Subutai, fought against the Kushan Empire. When he thought that his opponent was Subutai, Gao Xianzhi was immediately scared.

Gao Xianzhi can be ranked among the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but he is far from the top commander of the Tang Dynasty Empire. Many military generals of the Tang Dynasty Empire are above Gao Xianzhi, and it will be quite difficult to fight Su Butai.

On the battlefield between the Mongol Empire and the Kushan Empire, Subutai and Zhebe joined forces to defeat the 300,000 troops of the Kushan Empire and annihilate 100,000.

Ogedei delegated power and trusted the elders left by Temujin very much.

Ogedei also knew that his military capabilities were average, far less than those of Sudden, so he would be different from those of them.

Therefore, Ogedei only provided the monarchy characteristics and allowed the elders of the Mongol Empire to advance directly into the Kushan Empire.

The effect is also very obvious. The Kushan Empire does not have many commanders to restrict the elders and generals of the Mongol Empire who are like Canglang.

Subutai and others could not defeat the legions of the Han Empire's great princes, which did not mean that they could not bully the generals of the Kushan Empire.

"Conquering the Kushan Empire is easier than defeating the Western Regions Protectorate."

When Ogedei saw the battlefield full of corpses, he couldn't help but sigh.

If the Kushan Empire had been attacked with the grand occasion of attacking the Western Regions Protectorate, perhaps the entire Kushan Empire would have been captured long ago.

Yelu Dashi said: "Temur is conquering the Mughals in India. The Delhi people have surrendered to Timur. The situation is very good for us. If we defeat the Kushan Empire, the Mughal Empire in India, and then intervene in the civil war of the Han Empire, a great empire from West Asia to East Asia will be established."

"My father Khan unified the Mongolian tribes, and my achievements will surpass Mr. Khan and inherit the title of Genghis Khan again."

Ogedei's ambitions are no less than Temujin.

In fact, the farthest distance between the Mongols' expedition was the period when Ogedei served as the Khan of the Mongol Empire.

"It is said that the Kushan Empire requested reinforcements from the Western Region Protectorate."

Badu reminded Ogedei.

Ogedei said: "The main force of the Western Regions Protectorate entered the pass and participated in the civil war of the Han Empire. Ban Chao and Gao Xianzhi were left behind by Dayuan. If Gao Xianzhi assisted the Kushan Empire, then it was not afraid. Gao Xianzhi was very happy and was extremely eager to make contributions. If it was Ban Chao, then it was a little trickier. Yelu Dashi, do you think that Ban Chao and Gao Xianzhi were sent to support the Kushan Empire?
