This one is fairly easy. First take a look at the complete map and follow the way im describing:
From your startingpoint in the west, you're gonna go a straigth line to the very south of the map. Once you're there, you'll move east to purple to get the princess. With her, you'll take a transportship from the docks and just follow the river to the green city.
Now the details:
At first you take your army straight down the path (kill the enemies on the way). Once the path takes a turn upwards, to straight to the 2 ruined towers and discover the 2 monks there. Now forget about your army and continue with the monks. Further down the path you'll find an enemy camelrider. Use your monks to convert him and forget about the monks too.
With the camelrider you continue the described path (very south, then east), avoiding any enemies on the way until you're at purples gates. From there you go to the left to find the docks and start building a transportship.
Now you'll go around purples walls to the east to find a small entrance there. Go inside, get the princess and go out the way you came (red might be attacking with elephants at this point), to your transportship.
Now just follow the river to the green city and you're done.

Just for the idiots like me maybe: This is not in one of the new campaigns, but the slightly reworked Prithviraj campaign in the Asia tab.
Also this worked quite well, thank you.^^

Worth noting what mission this is actually for as it’s not one of the new DLC

To my run, I tried the southern route. (see the minimap).

1) You start with some resources, only need to care about upgrading Prithviraj armor and attack/range.
2) After your first fight against some swordsman, I got a Siege Onager with Chakram Throwers stuck on a mountain and used the camels you begin in the scenario with your hero, to attack a Onager to the other side of the cliff, so you could get your SO easily down the road near a forest that has a monk and a hero monk (you will need the SO to cut the trees and let Prithviraja go that way).
3) Then, there is a camel you can convert and a gaia Elephant Archer, they will be needed against the red Chakrams ambush. After dealing with them, just go south again until you find more Elephant Archer to rendezvous, follow the road until you find the transport. Load all your units and unload them on the beach to the left side of the river.
4) You can go all the way ahead until you see the purple walls of Bandits base. BEWARE, just go to the left and take ownership of a dock and build a transport. Now, return with your hero to the entrance of the base but go all way to the right, this way will avoid you a fight against many Elephant Archers, Camels and a couple of monks. At this moment, Jayachandra researched an upgrade to improve the range of his ranged units, so don't despair if you get shot, you just need to get Sanyogita and flee in the path you sneak into. The EA has ballistics, so take care that your hero tank all the shots. When you get out of the city, board with Sanyogita and Prithviraj into transport.
5) Follow upnorth in the river and don't worry about orange towers shooting, when you see a safe beach to unload both your units (see the image of my minimap), you can go the green wonder and win. No enemies are expected inside green base.
