"We have already pursued them to the Caspian Sea. Hundreds of cavalry and thousands of horses under my command have frozen to death. It's freezing cold. If we don't withdraw our troops, I'm afraid there will be supply difficulties, and at least tens of thousands of people will freeze to death."

Mingguan led his cavalry to join Chu Tian, ​​Huo An, and Prince Yan.

These princes from the original Han Empire were no strangers to each other.

After the Battle of Hezhong, winter came and snow began to fall. Thousands of people in the three armies froze to death.

Chu Tian also realized that the first western expedition should end here.

War depends on logistics.

The lame Timur could defeat Li Mu, Huo An and others with the huge resources of the Indian peninsula, which shows the importance of logistics.

"To the east of the Caspian Sea, erect a stone tablet to engrave our military exploits."

Chutian followed the example of Feng Lang Juxu and Yan Ran, and ordered a stone tablet to be erected on the east side of the Caspian Sea. The craftsmen carved their military exploits on the stone tablet.

In a battle in the river, millions of corpses were laid down, blood was shed for thousands of miles, and Wokuotai was pursued to the Caspian Sea, expanding the territory of the Central Plains dynasty to its largest extent.

Chutian offered sacrifices to the sky in Caspian Sea to commemorate this battle.

"The next Western Expedition must go to Europe."

Chu Tian looked to the west,

To the west of the Caspian Sea are the Caucasus Mountains.

There are many small kingdoms in the Caucasus, such as the Kingdom of Armenia.

Armenia had been conquered by Alexander the Great.

In other words, the current territories of Chutian and Alexander are only separated by the Caspian Sea.

If they cross the Caspian Sea, a war will break out with Alexander.

Of course, Chutian has no intention of developing a navy in the Caspian Sea, and there is no need.

With the existence of teleportation formations and cavalry, it is completely possible to attack Persia directly, and then use Persia as a springboard to attack Asia Minor and reach Europe.

Mingguan returned to the Chinese camp and was relieved: "What are your plans for the next Western Expedition?"

The Persian Empire, the city of Baghdad, Tolei's son Hulagu (the real founder of the Ilkhanate and the mourner of the Arab Empire) was left by Tolei to guard the Persian Empire.

Hulagu and Timur were almost the same type of people. They inherited the military abilities of Temujin and Tolei, so Tolei allowed Hulagu to guard the Persian Empire instead of Mengge and Kublai Khan.

However, Hulagu, who stayed in Persia, received news of Tolui's defeat.

"Gather the cavalry immediately and follow me to meet Father Khan!"

Hulagu learned that the remnant troops of Ogedei and Tuolei were heading south along the Caspian Sea and were about to enter the Persian Empire. His first reaction was to send troops to assist Ogotai and Tuolei to prevent the Xia army from taking advantage of the situation to invade the territory of the Persian Empire.

According to Hulagu's estimation, it is freezing cold now. If the Xia army fails to understand the current situation and invades the Persian Empire, it may be an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

The vanguard cavalry sent by Hulagu left Baghdad, but when Hulagu's main force was about to leave Baghdad, Hulagu received another shocking news.

"Sir, Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire commanded an army to leave the city of Damascus and invade the western part of the empire, aiming directly at our city of Baghdad!"

"Alexander!!"

Hulagu was sweating profusely.

Sure enough, the thing that worried him the most happened.

Before the Battle of the River began, the Golden Family divided the western sphere of influence with Alexander.

The Golden Family still could not trust Alexander, so they left Hulagu as a new force to guard Persia.

At least half of the Persian Empire's troops remained on the mainland, and Tuo Lei only brought half of the Persian army to the battle in the decisive battle in the river. This was one of the reasons for the failure of the Golden Family.

In fact, some of Chutian's forces were restrained by Japan and the Southeast Asian Civilization Zone. Both sides were fighting decisively with their main forces, but they were unable to go all out.

After the defeat of the Golden Family, a series of hidden dangers broke out.

During the peak period of the Golden Family's rise, they swept through Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia and were invincible. Heroes such as Timur and Nurhachi also had to surrender to the huge reputation of the Golden Family. Alexander the Great even personally signed a treaty with Tolui to divide the territory.

However, the Golden Family was defeated, and the hidden dangers left over from the powerful period emerged - Timur occupied the Kushan Kingdom and the Mughal Empire in India, and established his own empire.

But now, Alexander the Great of Macedonia has torn up the treaty with Tolei and launched a massive attack on Persia, taking advantage of the situation!

Damascus, the royal city in the civilized area of ​​Syria, is not far from Baghdad in Persia.

After capturing Damascus, which was controlled by the Arab Empire, Alexander prepared the food, weapons, and cotton clothes for the attack on Persia.

After learning the outcome of the decisive battle in the river, Alexander immediately made the decision to attack Persia!

Wanting to become the overlord of the world and conquering Persia was a very important part of Alexander's strategy.

There is no better time to attack Persia than at this time.

The leaders of the Golden Family are still on the run, and only Hulagu remains in the Persian Empire.

Although Hulagu is also at the emperor level, there is still a big gap between him and Alexander.

In addition, the Daxia Dynasty occupied the Hezhong area and lacked the supplies to attack the Persian Empire in the cold winter after the war.

In the western part of the Persian Empire, General Belisarius under Alexander easily captured a border fortress guarded by Mongolian cavalry.

The Golden Family's defeat in the decisive battle in the river had an impact like a domino effect, causing panic in various cities in the Persian Empire. It was difficult to defend against Alexander's well-prepared army.

Alexander sent Belisarius, the number one general in the Byzantine Empire, to attack the city and conquer the city wherever he went.

Alexander's main force was behind Belisarius' vanguard.

Alexander himself rode a fine war horse, accompanied by companion cavalry and silver shield soldiers.

Following Alexander in capturing Damascus and attacking the Persian Empire, in addition to Alexander's own Macedonian army, there were also servant armies from Greece, Ottoman Turkey, and the Hungarian Empire.

Secretary Eumenes said to Alexander: "King, we are less than three hundred kilometers away from Baghdad."

Alexander didn't respond.

Eumenes reminded: "King?"

"I didn't expect that the Golden Family, which is so powerful and has swept through all the countries, would be defeated by Chu Zimou's army. I'm afraid that with my power, even if I take down the Persian Empire, I won't be able to match Chu Zimou."

Alexander was thinking about fighting Chutian in the future.

His territory is only separated from Chutian by the Caspian Sea.

If Persia is captured, their territories will be directly adjacent to each other.

Alexander's teacher Aristotle was also in Alexander's expedition. He learned of Alexander's troubles and said to Alexander: "A single tree cannot withstand strong winds, but a forest can survive strong winds."

Alexander responded: "Teacher, what you mean is that I should work with other kings to defeat the powerful enemies in the east instead of trying to be a hero?"
