Parthian–Kushan War refers to the war which took place between Kanishka I of the Kushan Empire and the Parthians. In the Parthian-Kushan War, the King of Parthia attacked Kanishka I which eventually led to the defeat of the Parthians in a battle.
The battle of the War
There is an account which was written after the possible conflict, it entailed the battle of large size against the Parthians when Kanishka I's army is said to have slain 900,000 of his enemy. This tale emphasises that Kanishka I's actions was relieved by the fact that the Parthian King was particularly cruel and stubborn.
Aftermath
After Kanishka I decided to launch the second Kushan expedition on China against Pan Yung, the son of Pan Chao. The expedition turned out to be successful as Pan Yung was defeated & Kanishka I annexed the provinces of Kashgar, Yarkhand and Khotan from the Chinese Empire. His Empire then stretched from central Asia to central India including Gandhara, Kashmir and the Pamir region.
