Zhang Jiao: This child is extraordinary and has the potential...
Now that the mountain road is open, there is no need to worry.
Li Jing wanted to delay Ashoka's death and conquer the Maurya Empire at the lowest cost.
Under the order of the three armies, Yu Du and Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and Ma Chao, and Li Jing led a part of the army, divided into three cities, and retreated in an orderly manner under the cover of night.
The next day, by the time the various Maurya Empire forces reacted, the Daxia Legion had already deserted.
…
The news that the Great Xia Empire had opened up the eastern mountain road spread, causing panic in the Maurya Empire.
The Himalayas are a natural barrier between the Maurya Empire and the Bactrian Empire. It is the existence of the mountains that prevented the Bactrian Empire from allowing a large-scale rebel army to enter the Maurya Empire as it did when it destroyed the Baiyue.
Now the eastern mountain passage has been opened, connecting to the city of Bengal and the Khyber Pass in the north, and the Peacock Pass is under construction.
With the two important passes opened, support from the Great Xia Empire could flow into the Maurya Empire from two directions, consolidating the Great Xia Empire's occupation and connections.
Subsequent supplies entered the Maurya Empire, and the Daxia Legion no longer had to worry.
What made the Maurya Dynasty's top leaders even more helpless was that they discovered that after the news of the opening of the pass spread, the Daxia Legion stationed outside Hua City disappeared overnight.
Li Jing retreated to three cities, which formed a horn and supported each other to encircle Pataliputra. With the support of Kusinagara, Bodh Gaya and the three outer cities of Rajgir, Pataliputra was now surrounded in an iron barrel.
The rebel army in Hua City has a population of 60 million, plus ordinary people and soldiers, nearly 70 million people, and all the stockpiled food in the city is only enough for two months.
Li Jing's strategy was very obvious. He would not attack Hua City by force, but would surround it without fighting, hoping to wear them out.
