The Gupta Dynasty was overwhelmed and cut off the last chance of the Mauryan Dynasty.
With the cooperation of the Great Xia and the Ashoka Dynasty, the two armies from the east and the west launched a pincer attack on the Maurya Dynasty. For a while, the Maurya Dynasty ignored the other, and the territory fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Peacock King was anxious to get angry, but to no avail.
On the contrary, for the Gupta Dynasty in the south, the Great Xia Army and the Ashoka Army cooperated very tacitly and adopted a relatively conservative combat strategy, focusing on harassment and containment.
As long as the Gupta Dynasty does not reinforce the Mauryan Dynasty, everything is fine.
King Gupta was not a fool, he knew that the enemy did not want to spare the Gupta Dynasty, but wanted to defeat them one by one. When the Maurya Dynasty fell, it would be the time when the Gupta Dynasty was in disaster.
However, with the strength of the Gupta Dynasty, there was more than enough defense and insufficient counterattack.
The situation is already obvious. In this 2V2 life-and-death duel, the strong alliance between the Great Xia and the Ashoka Dynasty overwhelmed the Maurya Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty.
Victory is only a matter of time.
…
July 20, Tianzhu.
Just as the coalition forces of Daxia and Ashoka were victorious, a piece of unharmonious news spread within the Tianzhu District, causing a rift between the two closely cooperating parties.
Things have to start a week ago.
After the Great Xia West Route Army invaded the Maurya Dynasty, every time they occupied a city, they arranged for personnel to loot all the materials in the city and transport them to the neighboring Hetao province.
Not only that, even the people in the north of the city were "robbed" and forcibly moved to Hetao Province.
Daxia's strange approach is unavoidably suspicious.
Because this is not in line with Daxia's usual practice, according to the discipline of Daxia's army, it has always done nothing to the people, and it is mainly to appease the local people and gentry.
It has never been heard that Daxia has such a practice of "fishing in the dry lake".
Outsiders don't know the doorway inside, but Ashoka got the news, but he knew it all at once.
According to the covenant signed between Daxia and the Ashoka Dynasty, all the territory of the Maurya Dynasty will be ceded to the Ashoka Dynasty in the future. Daxia's doing so is naturally to reap the benefits.
"It's just that the appearance of eating is a bit too ugly." Ashoka was a little upset.
A few days ago, because the cooperation between the two parties was still in the honeymoon period, considering the overall situation of the war, Ashoka did not say anything, and forbeared it.
I never thought that because of Ashoka's acquiescence, the "looting operation" of the Great Xia Army became more and more unscrupulous.
According to the spies on the front line, the Great Xia army is simply scratching the ground.
After the war, when the Ashoka Dynasty took over those cities, it was estimated that they were empty cities, which was a huge violation of the interests of the Ashoka Dynasty.
King Ashoka was rewarded, and couldn't bear it anymore, and personally reported the situation to Emperor Xia.
After receiving King Ashoka's message, Ouyang Shuo attached great importance to it. He first expressed his apology, and then said: "The frontline sergeant acted recklessly and disobeyed orders. I have lost control. I will definitely give your country an explanation."
This made Ashoka very puzzled.
"Could it be that what the Great Xia Army did was not ordered by the Emperor Xia?"
Ashoka never believed it.
Who doesn't know that the Great Xia Army is known for its strict discipline all over the world. Without the imperial court's order, they would never dare to loot like this.
"Or, was it ordered by a minister of the Great Xia court?"
Ashoka judged others by himself, but this possibility is not ruled out. Of course, the biggest possibility is that Emperor Xia himself is pretending to be deaf and dumb, so as not to embarrass himself.
This kind of routine, he Ashoka played a lot.
Fortunately, with Emperor Xia's promise, no matter what the truth is, the matter should come to an end.
King Ashoka was also very sensible, and he didn't mention the issue of compensation for the looted city. As long as the Great Xia Army can stop the looting, then the current loss is nothing.
In fact, King Ashoka didn't want to turn his face against Da Xia for this benefit.
In any case, although the situation in the Tianzhu War is favorable to them, any variables may happen before a complete victory is achieved.
At this time, the most taboo thing is conflicts and cracks within the alliance.
King Ashoka understood righteousness very well!
Afterwards, King Ashoka was very happy because he handled this matter with reason and evidence, calmly and without losing his mind.
…
Unfortunately, it turns out that Ashoka was happy a little earlier.
After Ashoka personally complained, on the surface, the Great Xia Army had indeed stopped the looting, which made Ashoka heave a sigh of relief.
Only a week later, another new situation emerged.
According to reports from the frontline spies, the looting by the Great Xia Army has turned from the open to the dark. Although there is no obvious search for money, food and materials, they "invite" businessmen to invest and do business in Hetao Province under the banner of attracting investment.
Faced with the sergeant's visit in person, how can those businessmen refuse to agree
At the same time, under the pretense of recruiting outstanding talents, the Southern Border Protectorate of Great Xia blatantly recruited talents in the occupied areas.
Although the people were not wiped out, they took away all kinds of talents, which were the most elite part of the population.
Daxia's approach is very clever.
Under the banner of all voluntariness, "looting" was carried out without a single flaw.
Not to mention, due to the successive years of wars, not all the olive branches extended to Daxia by the merchants and talents in the occupied areas were forced. A large part of the people voluntarily went to settle in the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate.
After all, it is human nature to pursue a comfortable life.
In contrast, the common people were not very cold about the Ashoka Dynasty.
Ashoka got the report, his face turned black with anger, but he couldn't get angry again. Because of the active cooperation of the people in the occupied area, Ashoka really had no face to go to Xiahuang to complain.
As an emperor, Ashoka also had self-respect.
It is impossible for him to fight with Xia Huang like a trafficker, blushing, and crying like a wronged little daughter-in-law: "You can't do this."
Ashoka couldn't afford to lose this man.
"No, measures must be taken!"
Ashoka was a proud man, and after suffering a loss, he wanted to get back his position.
Being unable to appeal does not mean that Ashoka had no choice.
"Come on!" Ashoka yelled.
"exist!"
King Ashoka ordered: "He ordered the army, and this king wants to drive himself to conquer and go to the front to supervise the battle."
"yes!"
Ashoka's plan is very clear, since he can't stop Daxia's tricks, he can only rely on his strength to speak, concentrate his forces on the front of the Maurya Dynasty, and start a racing competition with Daxia's army.
Conquering the Maurya Dynasty earlier would mean less loss to the Ashoka Dynasty; conquering one more city would allow Da Xia to conquer one less city.
This method seems clumsy, but it is also the only countermeasure Ashoka can think of.
"This king wants to see how many cities the Great Xia Army can capture."
