Kujula Kadphises' invasion of Anxi
Kujula Kadphises' invasion of Ansi[1] or Kujula Kadphises' invasion of Anxi was an invasion against Indo-Parthia:
...the prince [elavoor] of Guishuang, named thilac [Kujula Kadphises], attacked and exterminated the four other xihou. He established himself as king, and his dynasty was called that of the Guishuang [Kushan] King. He invaded Anxi [Indo-Parthia] and took the Gaofu [Kabul] region. He also defeated the whole of the kingdoms of Puda [Paktiya] and Jibin [Kapisha and Gandhara]. Qiujiuque [Kujula Kadphises] was more than eighty years old when he died."
The Kushans displaced and conquered the regions from the Parthians who retreated to Southern Afghanistan.[3][4]
