Vaisali city in northern India.

This is the capital of the emerging Gupta dynasty and the place where Buddhism in India flourished.

The founding monarch of the Gupta dynasty, known as the "King of Kings", was the Gupta I. At this time, he stood in a luxurious palace and was discussing major events related to the fate of the kingdom with his princes and ministers.

"The noble king, the once extremely powerful Kushan people, could no longer resist the sudden invasion of the northern barbarians. The northernmost Kushan Nia has fallen. Their king was killed by the barbarians. I heard that his head was also made into a cup for the barbarian leaders to drink!"

An old man from Tianzhu, a gray beard and a deep nose, was telling Chandragupta what he had just obtained.

"The Kushans have always been our enemies, and now they are invaded by barbarians. It is the retribution of their past sins. We should reject their request for help. Not only that, we must also send troops to block the mountain passes and roads in the northwest to prevent them from invading and looting."

Another big belly minister spoke first.

As soon as this statement was expressed, it immediately aroused the approval of most people.

Including Chandragupta I on the throne, I also think it makes sense.

"Your Majesty, although the Kushans have long been divided and no longer as powerful as before, they are definitely not so weak. The Kushan Nya was conquered so easily, which shows how powerful the new barbarians are!"

As the wisest prime minister of the Gupta dynasty, the words of the old man with a white beard immediately aroused the alertness of the "King of Kings of Kings".

"You mean, these savages can destroy the Kushan Nians, and then they can come to threaten us?" Chandragupta said with a frown.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you can make the Kushans come to ask for rescue, it must be a very powerful enemy. Over the years, we have been unable to conquer each other in wartime and time. We must also be alert to an enemy that can scare the Kushans." said the old prime minister.

"It's not that scary! I think the Kushan people must have done too many sins, afraid of not being protected by the Buddha. So I feel guilty. At most, those barbarians are arrogant for a while and it is impossible for them to threaten us. In Kushan Nia and Kushan, there is also a Kushan sand!"

Another deputy prime minister of the Gupta dynasty expressed different opinions.

"Your Majesty, not only can't rescue the Kushan people, but you should also take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to eliminate the Kushans. As long as you eliminate the Kushans, you will become the shelter of the whole world."

The people in the Gupta Kingdom hated the Kushan people so much that most people were reluctant to send troops to help them.

After all, the Kushans now occupy the territory of their ancestors back then.

Although the territory of the ancestors of the Gupta Kingdom was also stolen, it was a grudge between the two sides for hundreds of years.

Soon the entire palace was divided into two groups with distinct attitudes.

The faction headed by the old prime minister all agreed to let go of past grievances and help the Kushans resist the new barbarians.

In fact, there is no need for the Gupta dynasty to send troops to help. It only needs to stop the war on the border between the two sides. The Kushans who can draw most of their troops back to rescue should be able to repel the barbarians from the north.

After all, the place in the northwest of the Indian continent is the most evil location, and almost every few years some barbarians of unknown origin will invade you.
