In fact, from the beginning of Emperor Shizu's enfeoffment, there have been differences and even conflicts in core interests among the three countries, and the differences in core interests have also destined their differences in strategic development.

In the past, due to blood relations, historical origins and the threat of YSL forces, the three countries had to live together and make do. However, after the "Five Great Wars", it was obviously not feasible to make do. In the following ten years, the three countries were indeed strategically engaged.

In terms of development, each one goes its own way.

The Beiting Kingdom completely withdrew from the Hezhong area and concentrated on domestic management. While developing northward, it actively communicated with the empire and strengthened ties in all aspects.

In the Anxi Kingdom, Liu Min also made a major decision. He moved the capital from Suiye to Hezhong City (the former capital of the Samanid Dynasty, Puhualuo, today's Bukhara). After all, the Anxi Kingdom at that time was already a country.

A large Central Asian country that spans the Seven River Basin and covers thousands of miles, the royal city of Suiye is located in the eastern border. Although it has many conditions, it is indeed not suitable to be the capital of the New Anxi Kingdom.

After moving the capital, Liu Min settled down and continued his reform and development. He and his officials in Anxi made some profound and solid plans for the country. The conquest of the ysl world did not happen overnight.

Backed by Anxi and the Han Dynasty, Liu Ye gathered the strength of Kangju to focus on the "Afghanistan" region, and tried his best to compete with Ghaznavids for the upper reaches of the Jihun River and its northern areas. They were also facing these two countries, but they fought separately.

After that, the pressure faced by the Ghaznavid dynasty increased instead of decreasing.

The demise of the Kingdom of Khotan was exactly what Liu Ye did casually during his struggle with the Ghaznavid dynasty. Liu Ye would always remember that he was forcibly stopped by the emperor's second brother. Therefore, under Taizong

After the emperor died, he was already ready to take action.

The real action came after the death of Yuchi Baoxiang, the late king of Khotan, and the reduction of pressure on the Western Front (Mahmud went south to conquer India to gain confidence). As for the attitude of the central empire, whether it was Kangzong, Liu Wenpeng or

Still at the moment, Liu Wenji and Liu Ye, the emperor's uncle, didn't care at all about their attitudes.
