After Nashi Pantuo heard the number of reinforcements mentioned by Liu Yu, he immediately knew what was going on.

If there are another 20,000 to 30,000 grassland cavalry, it can basically guarantee that the entire Pingxi Kingdom can defend the territory, and there is no fear that anyone will be easily tempted by Sasanian Persia to rebel.

"His majesty's majesty will inevitably be broadcast all over the world with these soldiers!" Nashi Pantuo commented in an unassuming way.

Seeing Na Shipantuo's confident look, Liu Yu suddenly felt something in his heart.

He asked Nashi Pantuo with some doubts.

"Nashipantuo, do you think the Sasanians will really go to war with you this time? Is it just verbal blackmail?"

As soon as he heard this, Nashi Pantuo became a little excited.

"Your Majesty, the ambitions of the Sassanid people are almost all over the world. They have been attacking frequently since the founding of the country. Especially now, Shapur II is an ambitious young king. They do not dare to expand to the Qin Kingdom in the west. , will definitely go to war with our Pingxi Kingdom, it’s just a matter of time,” Nashipantuo said.

"Oh, I ask you, is there any more information about this Sasanian?" Liu Yu suddenly became interested.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Nashipantuo immediately introduced this Sashabos to Liu Yu in more detail.

It turns out that this Sasanian Persian state was established for more than a hundred years. Since it replaced the Parthian Persian Empire, it not only inherited its territory, but also inherited its ambitions.

Sasanian Persia went to war with the Roman Empire almost every year. With the advantage of this cavalry, it once had the upper hand in the field battles.

However, as the ambitions of the Sasanians grew, the Sasanian army went too far and was repeatedly defeated by the Roman Empire.

Especially after a major defeat a few decades ago, the Sasanian Persian king's wife, children, and children were all captured by the Romans, and they even gave up all their previous territories in subsequent negotiations.

"Today's Great Qin State is at its peak. Although it is ruled by four emperors, it can always deal with enemies." Liu Yu nodded lightly, expressing his approval of the description of the Sasanian Persians.

The "Great Qin" in the words of Liu Yu and Liu Yu was what the Chinese called the Roman Empire in the far west of the Western Regions at this time.

Although the Roman Empire and the Han Empire had almost no direct contact, it did not hinder the mutual admiration between the two thousands of miles apart.

"Your Majesty is right. Today's Sasanian Persia is unable to advance westward. It can only desperately try to find results elsewhere. Expansion to the east is really inevitable." Nashipantuo said.

"Then what exactly did this king of Sasanian Persia say in his credential to Ran Liang?" Liu Yu continued to ask.

When Nashi Pantuo heard this question, he was immediately embarrassed.

However, he thought for a moment and mustered up the courage to speak out.

"The Sassanid king Shapur II had a tyrannical attitude. He thought that King Pingxi was the monarch of the Eastern Central Plains, saying that he was the king of the west. If King Pingxi did not want to fight, then he would have to offer 100,000 white porcelain vessels and various silks every year. A thousand bolts of silk each, and then you can continue doing business with the Sasanians.”

When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately became amused.

It turns out that in the eyes of the Sasanian Persians, Ran Liang was regarded as the headquarters of the Han Dynasty in the East.

"Hmph, these Sasanians clearly think that Ran Liang is my Han army, but instead of being afraid, they make so many feeble and greedy demands. It's time to teach them a lesson."

Liu Yu was already a little unhappy.

Since several major porcelain kilns in the Central Plains broke through new techniques a few years ago, various porcelain technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds, and a large number of porcelain has quickly become a hot commodity sold thousands of miles away.

Nowadays, the profit of porcelain is almost the same as that of silk and other commodities, or even more generous.

Therefore, in their blackmail against the Han Dynasty, the Sasanians specifically emphasized the need to pay tribute to porcelain from the Central Plains.

"They think that the Qin Kingdom is difficult to deal with, but our Han Dynasty is easy to deal with. This is simply ridiculous."

Liu Yu knew that in Central Asia, as the core region of the World Island, the influence of various forces came and went, and only the most powerful one could influence it more thoroughly.

In order to make the influence of the Han Dynasty solid in Central Asia, Liu Yu naturally wanted to use Sasanian Persia to establish his authority.

If Neng Ranliang could defeat the invasion of the Sasanian Persians, it would not only be a victory for the Pingxi Kingdom, but also a victory for the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because of the various states and tribes in Central and Western Asia, it was difficult to distinguish the difference between the Han Dynasty and the vassal states.

In their opinion, they are all oriental people with black hair and black eyes.

"If this is the case, then Ran Liang will not only need more cavalry, but also more elite soldiers."

Liu expected that one of the most famous characteristics of Sasanian Persia in history was the production of efficient armored cavalry.

The Sasanian cavalry, covered in heavy armor, is basically the same thing as the armored cavalry from the Central Plains.

The various nomadic light cavalry in Ran Liang's hands are basically capable of sweeping across Central Asia, but when it comes to the heavy armored cavalry of the Sasanian Persians, it's really hard to say.

"Since the Sasanian Persians are so arrogant, we must beat them thoroughly."

Liu Yu stood up and paced back and forth as he spoke. After thinking for a moment, he continued.

"I have thought about it, and will lend all the two thousand armored cavalry in Liangzhou to Ran Liang. I must let the Sasanians know the majesty of my great man."

When Na Shipantuo heard this, he was even more excited and didn't know what to do.

Two thousand Liangzhou's armored cavalry are almost all of Liangzhou's elites.

These Liangzhou elite cavalry were all famous as the "Liangzhou Horses" back then, and their guard general Beigong Chun even fought against the Huns with a series of battles.

Even a barbarian from the Western Regions like Nashi Pantuo was well aware of the reputation of the 'Liangzhou Horse'.

Now Pingxi Wang Ranliang can get two thousand "Liangzhou Horses", Ji Liuxu said, got up and paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and continued.

"I have thought about it, and will lend all the two thousand armored cavalry in Liangzhou to Ran Liang. I must let the Sasanians know the majesty of my great man."

When Na Shipantuo heard this, he was even more excited and didn't know what to do.

Two thousand Liangzhou's armored cavalry are almost all of Liangzhou's elites.

These Liangzhou elite cavalry were all famous as the "Liangzhou Horses" back then, and their guard general Beigong Chun even fought against the Huns with a series of battles.

Even for the "Liangzhou Dama" with a famous Hu name in the Western Regions like Nashi Pantuo, his supervising general Beigong Chun even fought against the Xiongnu Hu Binglianzhan Lianjie. At that time, people were also very aware of the reputation of "Liangzhou Dama".

Now Pingxi Wang Ranliang can get two thousand

This has basically made up for the last shortcomings.
