After leaving Wusun, Sima Ji's mentality has completely changed. In his opinion, Wusun has already been a vassal state with relatively distant relations with the Jin Dynasty, not to mention that when going westward, it is not a terrifying thing if it is not his own chassis..co    Free serialization, not to mention that the army needs supplies from now on, so they can only use materials locally.

On the land west of Lake Balkash, Sima Jike, no matter whose ancestors were, and which later generations were related to it. Whether it was farming or nomadic, he would steal the family if he didn't steal them. He also had to solve the problem of eating, so he would not have time to take care of these unnamed tribes.

Because in essence, these small countries and tribes entrenched in the west of Lake Balkash and the Palacioles are not the main operating areas of the Persian Empire. This problem is very simple. Western Asian civilization will naturally expand to the Mediterranean coast. This was the case during the Persian Achaemenid dynasty. At that time, the Persian Achaemenid dynasty was dominant in the entire civilization area.

From the eastern coast of the Mediterranean to the Western Regions, they were within the influence of the First Persian Empire. At that time, the Achaemenid dynasty used the wealth of the western empire's western wealth to support the military expansion eastward, and attacked the barbarians who might backstab themselves behind them.

Although the Persian Empire controlled most of Asia's territory, its economic lifeline was actually in the west of the empire. In addition to the Mesopotamian Plain close to the local area, Syria, Asia Minor and Egypt in the west were the center of wealth sources of the empire. Whether it was rich grain production or handicrafts and precious metals brought by commercial trade, the western economy was mainly the western economy. In the east, Central Asia and other places, except for some limited agricultural and trade taxes, the total t cannot be compared with the western ones.

The Achaemenid dynasty, which had long been firmly controlled the western part of the empire, had enough resources to return to the past to control Central Asia. In addition to some garrisons and immigrant cities, the Persian rulers at that time also relied on the kindness of Iranian culture to win over local aristocrats. At the same time, they gave local aristocrats great autonomy. These were very good means of differentiation and disintegration. The Persians even established a dam system for local oasis agriculture, but they had to open the gates and release water after receiving taxes, which invisibly controlled the lifeline of Central Asian oasis agriculture.

Although Sima Ji faced Sassanian Persia, although it looked similar to the Achaemenid dynasty, it actually had less territory along the Eastern Mediterranean than the Achaemenid dynasty, and Egypt was also under the control of the Roman Empire. Without that seemingly small territory, it had a huge impact on the current Sassanian Persia, and in turn affected the control of the eastern land.

The Romans had long controlled the land and resources of all parts of the Asia Minor Peninsula, Syria and Egypt. Sassanthes had fewer these places than the Achaemenid dynasty, so naturally they could not replicate the great cause of their ancestors.

These lands are far more important than Afghanistan and Central Asia's territory, so Western Asian civilization will inevitably be impossible to coexist with the Roman Empire. This has been proved in the days that followed. Sassanthemum Persia and Rome fought for the above territories for four hundred years, and the fierce and frequent levels were simply the ancient Russian-Turkish war. However, both countries were defeated by the Arabs one by one. After the founding of the Arab Empire, the West was the main attack direction, and the imperial power had long focused on the Eastern Roman Empire.

After the Battle of Talas, the Arab Empire did not react to the Tang Dynasty because they still wanted to expand westward. Compared with the unknown environment in the East, the West has always been the focus of attracting Western Asian civilization.

The two generations of Persian empires, the Arab dynasties, and the Ottoman Empire were all like this, of course these Western

It is best not to come to the sub-civilization. I, Xiao Jin, had a bad place and were surrounded by Hu people. It was really not a good place. It would be best to leave the annoying Hu people to the King of Yan.

So what Sima Ji is worried about? You two empires are over. I am just passing by and taking the children out to see the world. The geographical environment has created that you two civilizations so close must fight. It is thankless to fight to the east, unlike my great Jin family dominant in the East.

Sima Ji's army, who left Wusun, entered the Sogdian Kingdom, which was west of Pamir, between the two major rivers of the Sir River and the Amu River. This is what is known as the river in history. Sogdian is rarely in an independent state, after all, this is a place where everyone is stronger and whoever is stronger is occupied.

After spending an hour conquering a small town, Sima Ji asked someone to ask about the status here and compare it with the blurred history in his mind. The current Sogdian Empire should be in decline, but the buffer time of Sassanthes Persia has not yet come. After all, the Persian emperor who started the Sassanthesian Persian H-King era may not be sure whether he can speak now. However, I believe that the rare independence here cannot last for too long.

Sima Ji easily discovered that the residents here were good at doing business, using Sogdian, and believing in ecstasy. Like many Central Asian tribes of this era, they were descendants of the Persian language family. The language is one of the Oriental dialects of Persian.

So, as a senior rumor-monger, King Yan is not polite. He just came to show off with the H-jin Holy Fire Order? Hasn't he considered the local ethnic belief issue, so that he could easily recruit the minion army?

"Do you know that the holy objects of the Ao Cult are in our hands, and you dare not fight against our King of Yan if you don't know how to fight against us, the Persian emperor dares to come. The holy objects of the Ao Cult in the King of Yan are enough to prove who side Ahura Maz reaches the bottom."

Translators who understand Persian are so righteous, but their professional abilities need to be strengthened. Now that the Persian emperor is just born, there is no experience in leading troops to fight.

Ahura Mazda is the god lord of the good world among the Ao Cult, and is regarded as the highest god among the Ao Cult. Its significance is extraordinary. The residents of the small town thought they would tremble under the butcher's knife, but they did not expect that the invader holding weapons would discuss the Ao Cult with him, and it seemed that there was no malicious intention...

Doesn’t that look like it? In fact, it really just looks like it. Sima Ji walked out of a rather simple place that looked like the city lord’s mansion, and asked lazily, “How is going, have you figured out the matter? People here won’t resist.”

"The big t has calmed down!" Tang Qiang lowered his head slightly and reported, and finally glanced at the city lord's mansion and greeted in a low voice, "How is King Yan resting? Haven't he disturbed by any s?"

"Well, it's very moist!" Sima Ji showed an expression you knew, covering up his process of being proficient in the way of national integration.

Before officially conquering this city, Murong Han had already led some troops to replenish supplies on the ground. Sima Ji temporarily avoided the worry of eating sand. When he was robbed in Wusun, the King of Yan still maintained the greatest restraint. Otherwise, these tribes with mantis armed and chariots would have been bloody. After all, he was not a real nomadic people, and he could not kill or bury them.

However, the King of Yan maintained restraint, which does not mean that the victims would not resist. If you enter the river and attack the city without any reason, things will definitely not be over.
