The war within the Persian Empire had officially begun. After the death of the old emperor, the prince rushed to succeed the throne without completing all the ritual procedures. This move was boycotted by several other princes. They refused to recognize the legitimacy of the new emperor and raised troops to resist.

Faced with the surging situation, the new emperor adopted the strategy of gathering troops and defending without fighting, consuming the opponent's momentum and aura.

At this time, Dashi also made the latest move. He took Kui'an as the general and led 30,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on the Persian Empire. In three days, he won consecutive victories and recovered more than ten cities in one fell swoop.

This move by the Dashi Empire relaxed the defensive mentality of Yuwen Zhen, Li Changchun and others.

At this time, Li Changchun led 15,000 soldiers to Suye City to meet Yuwen Zhen, leaving only 5,000 soldiers to guard Zhi Qi, which is the best proof.

A huge army, hiking at night, avoiding people's eyes and ears, quietly approached Zhiqi. This marching situation had already begun before the Kui'an men led the army to attack the Persian Empire. It took more than a thousand miles to reach Hamerci in six days, and in half a distance, the 100,000 troops led by Hamerci had already walked most of the journey, less than three hundred miles away from Zhiqi, and the breath of war was getting closer and closer.

"Order the army to stop advancing."

Hammergez gave orders to the left and right.

A general said in confusion: "Governor General, there is more than an hour before dawn, and he can still walk a lot."

"The Governor General doesn't need to be so cautious, right?"

The same was true for another general.

Hammerzi didn't explain anything and said in a deep voice: "Execute the command."

"Yes, Governor."

The messenger handed over and took the order, and then rode a horse and left.

Seeing that Hamerzi was firm in his attitude, the generals said nothing. He was the supreme military commander of the war, and his order was the supreme instruction and should not be disobeyed.

Although the Emperor Basel of Dashi has been alienated from Hamerzi and bin Rahimo in recent years due to speculation and political needs, and has also carried out a series of political suppression, in terms of military capabilities, Basel is still very confident and affirmed to them.

Whether to go east or west, Basel has always been inclined to go west on this issue. In this regard, Hamerzi and Bin Rahimo have always strongly opposed it and do not agree to launch a battle formation against the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Basel became increasingly dissatisfied with them, resulting in more serious political suppression. Hamerzi and Bin Rahimo were successively promoted and demoted openly and secretly, and their military power was deprived. Bin Rahimo, who had the strongest attitude, was directly expelled from the political center and completely freed.

Compared with Bin Rahimo, Hamerzi is more flexible and politically mature. Knowing that the overall situation cannot be violated and the military strategy cannot be changed, Hamerzi finally surrendered and took the initiative to find Basel, apologized for forgiveness, and hoped that the war on the attack on the Western Regions would be presided over by himself.

Hammerezi's actions greatly improved the relationship between him and Basel and eased the conflict between the two. As the saying goes, Basel's suppression of Hammerezi, suspicion and defense only occupies a small number of people, and the most important thing is political factors. As an emperor, it is impossible for any minister under his command to have too much power and too strong military power. When it reaches a certain point, it needs to be suppressed and weakened, no matter where or in any country, it is the same.

No matter how suspicious he was, Basel trusted and relied on Hammergez's military talent. So when Hammergez took the initiative to apologize, Basel immediately forgave him and agreed to Hammergez's request and handed over a hundred thousand troops to him.

Hammerzi asked someone to take a map and put it on the ground to unfold it. He looked at the cities and terrain on the map, and fell into deep thought.

The launch of a war against the Western Regions was completely contrary to Hammergezi's strategic thinking and intentions. He repeatedly persuaded Basel to take advantage of the chaos in the Persian Empire and raise troops from all over the country to launch a full-scale attack on Persia. Even if this mortal enemy cannot be destroyed, it can at least cause the chaos in Persia to be even worse and worse, causing it to fall into a chaos of fragmentation and years of war. This is absolutely the most beneficial to Dashi's long-term interests.

Dashi and the Jin Dynasty are now allies. Dashi can obtain a lot of weapons, equipment and food from the Jin Dynasty every year. Once this relationship breaks down, Dashi's enemies will change from one to two, and they will be attacked from both sides. Although the Jin Dynasty is now in decline, its overall national strength is still not inferior to Persia. This is an ancient and vast empire.

The most important thing is that Hamerzi knew clearly how important the Western Regions are to the Jin Dynasty now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is its lifeline. The Jin Dynasty will never give up the fall of the Western Regions. It will definitely gather greater strength and then launch a war of larger scale. By that time, both sides will be in a state of unstoppable death.

Hammergezi's ideas and strategies are actually perfect, and it is a very good plan. He just can't understand why such a good plan cannot get the support of Basel. Moreover, most of the officials in the court are on Basel's side, which makes Hammergezi puzzled.

Hammergezi is not wrong, and Basel and others who oppose this plan are not wrong.

As far as military strategy is concerned, Hamerzi's strategic intention is absolutely correct, but as the emperor, Basel could not only consider the gains and losses of the military, but instead mix politics and people's hearts and consider them all in a comprehensive way.

After the bloody battles of Hammerzi, Bin Rahimo and others, although he defeated the Persian Empire several times and finally restored the country successfully, the foundation of the Persian Empire was not shaken, but became stronger and stronger. After all, the founding lords were often wise monarchs. Although Basel was not an English lord, he was not a fool. He understood that Persia was definitely not a country that could quickly perish. It was difficult for Dashi to have the chance to shake the cornerstone of the Persian Empire in a few years or even decades.

Moreover, although Dashi successfully restored the country, his territory was so large, with only more than ten cities and a population of less than 1.5 million. Most of the 130,000 troops in the country were the old capitals of Bin Rashimo and Hammerchi brought from the Western Regions. After a few years, Basel tried his best and means, but only recruited 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers.

Basel knew that these 130,000 troops were all his capital. In the long-term war with the Persian Empire, his army would only fight less and less, and it would be difficult to replenish. On the other hand, the Persian Empire had annexed the two empires of Dashi and Lunar Eclipse, with a vast territory and a large population. The source of troops and money and food can be said to be continuous and will not be exhausted.
