Chapter 1352 Finale
The Kushan Empire's expeditionary army has been killed from Xiliang these days and directly occupied Chang'an. The army directly rushed to the land of the Three Auxiliary and could attack Luoyang at any time.
This is a great test for Liu Zheng.
After all, these alien cavalry have very strong offensive capabilities. Once they attack, they will have a great crisis in Luoyang in a short time.
At this time, Liu Zheng subdued Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu and others. Although they did not have too many soldiers, Liu Zheng had soldiers and horses under him.
Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Taishi Ci's men are all here.
There are also the previous defenders of Luoyang and the surrendered troops of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
In Luoyang, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers.
It was not very difficult for these people to deal with the Kushan Empire's army.
Liu Zheng does not need to attack by himself now.
After the Central Plains was pacified, Liu Zheng did not need to send too many troops to garrison. Sun Ce or Zhou Yu's troops could also be mobilized in the direction of Luoyang.
On the third day after ascending the throne, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 5,000 troops to Chang'an as a vanguard army.
However, before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived in Chang'an, they encountered the Kushan Empire cavalry who had been killed from Chang'an.
The two sides started a big battle and the first round of duels was held here.
Some of the main soldiers and horses of the Kushan Empire were still in Xiliang. Since occupying Chang'an, a large number of soldiers and horses have been resting in Chang'an.
Because Chang'an is one of the Silk Road. It was the men of the Kushan Empire. The ultimate goal of robbery was to capture Chang'an, which made these people happy for a long time and carried out a massacre in Chang'an for several days.
There were only a few soldiers and horses who felt that Chang'an had nothing to steal, so they left Chang'an and headed towards Luoyang.
And at the first moment, he encountered attacks from Tongguan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei only had 10,000 infans, they were not at a disadvantage by relying on the steepness of Tongguan and fighting with these cavalry of the Kushan Empire.
After two days of battle, more than 8,000 cavalry of the Kushan Empire were killed, causing the Kushan Empire's army to be defeated.
The army fled back to Chang'an, which shocked the Kushan Empire soldiers and horses stationed in Chang'an.
Afterwards, more than 40,000 Kushan Empire soldiers and horses in Chang'an rushed to Tongguan.
He wanted to use tens of thousands of cavalry to sweep across the Central Plains and conquer this arrogant Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Who would have thought that the Kushan Empire's army had just approached Tongguan, but encountered the main force sent by Liu Zheng.
The troops of Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci followed closely and rushed to Tongguan, cooperated with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army, and used Zhuge crossbows to shoot in a burst.
He shot and killed tens of thousands of cavalry directly.
The battle at Tongguan caused the Kushan Empire's arrogance to be extinguished directly.
In both battles, they were defeated and returned home. Even Chang'an did not defend the rest and directly retreated to Xiliang in fright.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were angry and chased him directly and conquered Chang'an with their men.
And in Chang'an, the body of their elder brother Liu Bei was found.
Because Liu Bei was a big shot, he was hung on the city tower by these people from the Kushan Empire to show his presence. In a few days, he had already become stinky and rotten.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were mourning and rebuilt the grave for Liu Bei in Chang'an, and the army also saluted Liu Bei.
The two men, who were furious, decided to continue chasing.
Seeing this, after taking back Chang'an, Liu Zheng did not order them to withdraw their troops, but instead increased their efforts to pursue these Kushan Empire's troops.
The regaining of Western Liang was just the beginning. Liu Zheng's purpose was to re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate. After all, as a modern person, Liu Zheng knew clearly what was in the Western Regions, including Dilrai X and Gulina X. This primitive desire made the emperors of ancient dynasties keen on regaining the Western Regions.
Liu Zheng is naturally no exception. Those who offend me, the strong Han Dynasty, will be punished even if they are far away.
He even wanted to insert the flag of the Han Dynasty into eastern Asia and even Europe!
The four empires, ancient Rome, Kushan Empire, and rest empire, will all surrender to Liu Zheng's feet.

Luoyang, the imperial palace.
Today, Luoyang has expanded several times more than a few years ago, and it has become the center of the world.
In the palace, Liu Zheng leaned against the tallest building of the imperial city and looked into the distance.
He felt emotion that he came to this world twenty years ago, and now twenty years have passed, and he has fulfilled his wish.
Looking at this peace, he couldn't help but think of a poem.
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes.
Right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothing.
The green mountains are still there, how many times the sunset is red?
The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter are on the river bank, and are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.
A pot of turbid wine meets happily.
Many things in ancient and modern times are all jokes.
...
I hope this is not a dream.
