In the royal palace of Fulou Shacheng, Kushan Wang Bodiao was frowning. In the past two months, the Liang army went deep into the hinterland of Southern Kushan along the Indus River, and news of siege of cities and villages came one after another.

When the Liang army had just landed at the Indus River Estuary, Bodi sent messengers to send urgent documents to Hao Miluo, who was in charge of Xingguan defense line. He asked him to quickly mobilize troops to return to the army to support him. Unexpectedly, Hao Miluo replied that the Liang army landed at the Indus River Estuary must be just a small brigade, and the purpose may be to mobilize the main force of Kushan to move south and reduce the difficulty of the main force of Liang's army to break through Xingguan. In the reply, he also said that only by mobilizing the local defenders of Kushan cities could they be driven out.

According to Hao Miluo's words, Bodhi only relied on the local defenders of the cities along the Indus River to organize defense, but this did not stop the Liang army from taking action.

The Kushan Army once built a pontoon bridge and several iron cables on the Indus River, hoping to cut off the Liang army's waterway transportation. However, Zhang Ren did not let the Viking fleet go up the water as usual, but instead dispatched all the cavalry in his hands to detour upstream of the pontoon defense line, and then allowed the fleet to appear in the sight of the Kushan soldiers. When the Kushan Army was fully focused on defending the Viking fleet that attacked from the waterway, nearly a thousand light cavalry and heavy cavalry of the Liang army suddenly appeared behind them, and defeated the nearly 7,000 Kushan defenders with lightning speed.

After Zhang Ren won this battle, he was even more imminently close to the upper reaches of the Indus River, and there seemed to be nothing to stop him. Kushan Wang Bodiao had to draw defenders from all over the southern border of Kushan to gather at Fulosha to ensure the safety of the royal capital. Fulosha once assembled more than 15,000 troops.

However, Zhang Ren suddenly stopped in a small town on the banks of the Indus River, and then swept the Indus River Plain with some infantry and cavalry. The troops headed straight to the edge of the Tal Desert. During this period, there were countless Kushan cities that were swept away. Bodou had no choice but to passively dispatched 10,000 troops, of which 5,000 war cavalry were responsible for searching for the cavalry unit that Zhang Ren swept the Indian Plain, and 5,000 troops attacked the small town where Zhang Ren was stationed.

At this time, Bo Chi, who was sitting there, prayed in his heart that God would bring him good news. A loud voice came from the palace. Bo Chi was already very familiar with this, and what was the urgent report about Liang Jun?

Sure enough, the palace sent a message to the servants and servants report: "Reported to His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Kushan, a Liang army broke through the Black Stone Fort 80 miles east of Fulousha City. His Duke Prawang died in a fierce battle!"

Bodhi jumped up from the throne in shock. He was not because of the Duke of Prawang who died in battle, but because of the closeness of Liang's army. He said anxiously: "What? Liang's army is only eighty miles away from Fulousha?"

"Your Majesty, this is the situation when the news was sent. Now the Liang army vanguard may have arrived outside Fulousha City!"

Bodhi paced back and forth in the hall, and he suddenly stood still, saying as if he was determined: "When the Liang army had just landed at the Indus River Estuary, I asked Hao Miluo to send troops back to rescue. Although the Xingdu Kush Pass was important, it was an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place where a man could not open the pass. A few years ago, thousands of troops could block the White Huns. Now, tens of thousands of troops were stationed there to guard against the Liang army? The Liang army was close to the royal city, and the Xingdu Kush Pass was not far from Fulosha. He had no reason not to send troops back to defend. He quickly passed my order, and ordered Hao Miluo to personally lead the main force in the northern line to return to Fulosha. The defense line of the Xingdu Kush Pass could leave more than 10,000 elite troops to garrison. If he did not listen to the order, he would be treated as a rebellion!"

...

More than 300 miles north of Fulousha, the pass of the Kush Mountain in the Xingdu, and in the Kushan Army camp. Hao Miluo was accepting the imperial envoy from the royal city to convey the imperial order. The tone of the imperial order was very harsh and ordered him to immediately take the main force to encircle and suppress the Liang soldiers who fled into the Kushan hinterland.

Hao Milu took the order, sighed heavily, and said to the envoy: "The last general will follow the order of Your Majesty and immediately lead the troops back to defend." In fact, under this situation, even if the Bodian did not strictly order Hao Milu to return to defense, Hao Milu would have to divide his troops back to help Fulosha. Otherwise, if the Liang army wanted to break through Fulosha, then defending the defense line of Xingdu Kush Pass would be meaningless.

Hao Miluo drew the most capable and outstanding generals from his generals to stay at the Kush Pass in Xingdu. The more than 10,000 Kushan infantry and cavalry left behind were also selected elite soldiers. He repeatedly advised these remaining generals and finally said: "No matter what, you must defend this line of defense before I return to the army, otherwise I, Kushan, will be in danger. Remember, only defend, and under no circumstances should you take the initiative to attack the Liang army in Guanbei."

These generals patted Hao Miluo confidently and said, "Don't worry, General, we will defend this defense line like a iron wall. If there is any mistake, I will come and see you!"

Only then did Hao Miluo take the gathered tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry and march southward to encircle and suppress Zhang Liao's army.

...

To the west of the Indus River Basin is the vast Tal Desert, 300 miles to the east, and close to the Sakura Plateau are two high mountains - the Suleiman Mountains and the Gilbert Mountains. These two mountains separate the subcontinent of the Shrine Subcontinent from the main body of the Asiatic continent. The two mountains intersect to form a semi-basin plain located in a huge valley. Although it is a plain, small hills formed by the two mountains are everywhere.

Although this place still belongs to the Kushan territory, it is located in a remote location. The Kushan government has actually zero jurisdiction over it. A round city is located in the center of this land. There are all kinds of facilities in the city. In the center is a stone-topped hall topped by several huge cylinders.

At this time, a general stood on the steps outside the hall, watching the training of the soldiers in the square outside the hall. This man was Segusul, the mercenary leader who was captured by Feng Yu and had been hired for a long time.

A soldier rushed up the steps and said to Seguxian: "General, a group of people came twenty miles in front of the east gate. They were stopped by our patrol sentry. After interrogation, they said that it was Liang's people and came specifically to find the general."

As soon as Seguxian heard this, he laughed and said, "That's our employer. But strangely, didn't they just sent gold coins for two years a few months ago? Why did they come again so soon? Is there something we need to go out? Come in quickly and see what they have to do."

After receiving the messenger from Liang's army, Seguxian secretly praised him for not being wrong. Feng Yu asked them to cooperate with the Liang army on the front line of Xingdu Kush to break through the pass of Xingdu Kush Mountain.

There was not much doubt about Segusulphur, so he lit up about 3,000 mercenaries and left this giant valley and headed northeast along the eastern foot of the Suleiman Mountains. At the end of the Suleiman Mountains in the northeast is the Hindu Kush Mountains.
