Chapter 723: Brahman Change
As the Han army slowly advanced, the Kushan rainy season arrived as expected, and the Kushans finally had a chance to catch their breath.
Rahul and other generals, relying on the power of their own internal energy, had already returned to major cities in the south.
Of course, they did not expect to be able to stop the Han army, but at least they had to stop Lidas.
The Han army's marching speed was not fast, but Lydas's speed was really too fast.
In ten days, they captured twenty-seven cities in a row.
When Lidas' words spread, many low-caste people were willing to sacrifice their lives to atone for their sins.
The most heartbreaking thing is the fall of the last city. Durga was guarding it personally, but it happened that there was also a person in this city who believed in the god Galan and had an out-of-body energy.
Caught off guard, Durga was defeated and the defenders in the city were unable to stop the crazy lower castes.
The low castes, which make up 99% of the southern Brahman system, have zero resistance to the true God of the Brahman system.
Especially when Lidas, a powerful man whose strength can be called a god or Buddha, personally appeared to testify.
In this situation, the faster Lidas ran, the faster the occupation speed was. In the end, Lidas even rushed into the city alone to preach the name of Galan.
For someone with internal energy leaving the body, flying to several cities in a day is extremely easy.
When we arrived at a certain city, the lower castes in that city welcomed the royal army with food and drink, and this was no joke.
With the right time, right place and right people, Guan Yu firmly grasped the people's support, and the Brahmins' greatest advantage became their fatal weakness.
If it weren't for the fact that Lidas still needed to organize people to spread the power of Lord Galan, Lidas might have already reached the city of Puranas.
The reason why they were unable to continue the occupation was because Durga and his people had nailed down Lidas's identity in advance and directly defined him as a devil and a liar. This was how they were able to barely stabilize the situation. However, anyone with a discerning eye knew that these were just futile struggles.
"It's all over!" Rahul said bitterly with his eyes closed. He couldn't stop it.
Even a Brahmin like him has the illusion that Guan Yu is really a true god, so how can others play?
Even Durga and the others, deep in their hearts, have subconsciously believed that the name of the Galan deity is Guan Yu, and they usually use honorifics to address him.
How can we fight this? Rahul has fought wars all his life and has a very clear understanding of the situation.
Durga and her men could only deal with Lidas, but they could not stop Guan Yu. Once Guan Yu arrived, no matter how strict and high-pressure Durga and her men's methods were, it would be useless.
"The southern defense line is no longer meaningful to the Han Dynasty. If more troops had been stationed in the north, this might not have happened!" Rahul's eyes were filled with bitterness.
"Puravasika is doomed to fail. One legion is meaningless to the Han army. Even if the emperor sent reinforcements, Puranasika would have already fallen."
"Retreat directly to Nalandara City on the west bank of the Indus River. With the help of the army in the north, the Kushans still have a chance to turn the tables!"
"But, do the Brahmins still have a chance to turn the tables?"
Rahul felt deeply exhausted. Political struggle was deadly, and he was unwilling to gamble whether Vasudeva I would spare his life when he purged the entire Brahmin class.
He once thought that he held military power and that no one in this world would easily take his life. However, he did not expect that within just a few months, his life was no longer under his control.
"Retreat~Retreat~"
Rahul closed his eyes and handed over his fate.
He visualized the Virgin with Third Eye and actually saw the future of the Brahmin, but he could not see his own future.
After all, he is not a powerful god or Buddha who surpasses the Virgin of Tianmu, he is just a mortal.
When the south was in chaos, Vasudeva I took direct action against the Brahmins.
Originally, I was hoping that the Brahmin would be able to come up with an effective method to deal with Guan Yu, but when the Brahmin wanted to use the mouth of Brahma to wither Guan Yu's deity status.
Every one they go will die. Even with the help of Brahma's power, they can't fight against Guan Yu.
Unless Guan Yu is pulled onto Brahma's body, and then the Brahmin ascetic faction attacks together, maybe they can kill Guan Yu.
Their method of killing gods from a distance by relying on divine thoughts was a joke to Guan Yu.
The reason why the Kushan gods and Buddhas could not face this move of the Brahmins was that their power came from Brahma, so Brahma would naturally be invincible.
But who was Guan Yu? He cut off all the things in the faith that did not belong to him. Plus, with the protection of the will of the Han Dynasty, the Kushan Brahmins had no way out.
It's not that they haven't thought about solving the problem by one-on-one combat. They also support several powerful boundary-breaking experts, but Guan Yu is not alone.
Looking at the lineup of Guan, Zhang and Huang, even if Brahma woke up, he would have to consider his own weight.
Besides, they are no match for Guan Yu in a one-on-one fight. Zhang Ren under them is leading a large army, ready to take action at any time. If they can kill Guan Yu in this situation, Guan Yu will accept it.
Unfortunately, the Brahmins cannot do it. Their top strong men are all born in seclusion in the Himalayas to suck Brahma's blood. Even if they invite them out, it will be useless. Guan Yu has a large army. If they send people out, it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and they will never come back.
So the Brahmins were helpless, and Vasudeva I launched an attack under such circumstances. What's the point of keeping a bunch of useless trash?
"The radiance of the soul, Brahma descends to the world..."
Khrihera, the prisoner of war bought back by the Kushans at a huge price, took the lead over the Brahmin priests in pulling Brahma out of the myth, and then directly blocked the entire Peshawar.
Relying on the resources that the royal family had prepared long ago, Helihela's move directly banned the Brahmins' greatest privilege, the power of the Withering Divine Power.
Brahma was personally pulled down to take sides, and all the Brahmins' men were sent out to deal with Guan Yu. Even if the Brahmins still had many trump cards, they were all taken down in one fell swoop.
"All the Brahmins involved in government affairs have been captured!" Karna reported to Vasudeva I.
"Huh~" Vasudeva I sat comfortably on the throne.
To be honest, it was a little too smooth. Although there were many losses, they were not serious. Compared with the losses they had planned, they were simply not worth mentioning. For some reason, Vasudeva I even had a feeling that he was destined to succeed.
On the surface, the Kushans seemed to be constantly suppressed by the Han Dynasty, but the power in their hands was growing stronger and stronger. Now they even annexed the power of the Brahmins in the south, directly surpassing their ancestors and completing the unification of the Kushans.
Now, as long as we get rid of the foreign enemies, everything else will be no problem.
Moreover, after dealing with the Brahmins, many people in the Yuezhi royal family also recognized his throne.
These people used to be indifferent to him, but now they are actively approaching him, believing that he is indeed a capable tyrant.
Being a tyrant did not affect their senses. Even after he demonstrated his means and execution ability, the royal family of Dayuezhi, who were from a nomadic tribe, had a little more recognition of him.
