Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 454 Support
Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. The Parthian Empire was suffering from internal and external troubles, and it was normal for rebels to appear.

"The question is, you don't have any hostility towards us who invaded Anxi?" Zhang He looked at each other.

"After all, to achieve our goal, the more chaos the better, and the more nobles die, the better." The other party replied, "I have to say, Your Excellency really surprised me. A big man from far away actually said what we said. So fluent."

"You know big man, this means you are not an ordinary commoner, at least you must be a noble." Zhang He looked at each other.

"My grandfather Sassan was a priest of the Temple of Anahit. My father Papak was the ruler of Istakhel." The young man replied.

His name is Ardashir, and he is a 17-year-old young man.

They are obviously a class with vested interests, but they are doing things that betray their own class.

Not surprisingly, his ambitions transcended class.

He believes that the current Parthian (Parthian) Empire has reached the point where it cannot be destroyed or established.

The existing aristocratic class, as long as Rome guarantees their interests, they never care who is the ruler of this country.

With them as obstruction, the empire's army could only lose the battle.

As mentioned before, the core of the distinction between doves and hawks is the statement of interests.

In order to better deal with Parthia, Rome promised more benefits to these nobles, so they automatically became doves.

As for the motherland and the nation, it has nothing to do with them.

The problem is that these nobles occupy [-]% of the interests of this country. Ardashir realizes this and knows that a peaceful solution is impossible.

The only way to break through is to violently reorganize the country.

So he secretly pulled up a team to fight guerrillas in the eastern part of the country, attacking the nobles here many times.

As long as a certain level of aristocracy is eliminated, he can quickly rise to power independently by relying on his grandfather's religious connections and his father's official connections, and then formally launch an army to rebuild the dynasty.

"However, we came here at this time. Do you know that behind us, at most about two days' journey away, there are more than [-] Kushan troops?" Zhang He asked.

"They are nothing without your help," Ardashir replied.

"The question is, they are our allies. If we want to betray them, what price can you offer?" Zhang He asked.

He actually thought about supporting this rebellious young man and letting him bring trouble to the Parthian Empire.

Just through observation, I also found that this young man's experience and skills are not bad. If he is given enough stage, he will definitely be able to establish a powerful dynasty.

It is just a powerful dynasty, but it is not good news for myself as a neighbor in the future.

Of course, it's not impossible to talk about it. After all, even if you establish a dynasty, you will still be crushed by yourself.

The core of the problem is how much the other party is willing to pay for this matter.

"What is your ultimate goal?" Ardashir asked, "Is it to simply plunder this country, or..."

At first, he thought they were wandering soldiers who had escaped from the Han Dynasty and were hired by Kushan.

However, after observation, it seems that this is not the case.

In fact, he has begun to be a little wary, worried that this is a group of villains who want to occupy Xi'an.

"We are going to settle in Armenia, which means we may become neighbors in the future." Zhang He replied, "Of course, the environment in Parthia is also good, and we may be able to settle in the west." Zhang He joked.

This is not good news for Ardashir.

The west side is now in decay, but Ctesiphon is the capital of the Parthian Empire, which is of great significance to this country.

Even if it was captured just a dozen days ago due to the invasion of Rome...

Nowadays, Apameia serves as the temporary capital of the empire. Vologasis V took his courtiers and most of the nobles stayed here.

It's a coincidence that Zhang He's original goal was also here, but he really didn't know the current situation of the Parthian Empire.

Now that I understand the situation, I suddenly realize that this tone is very unkind.

They obviously had the idea of ​​heading west after receiving the news. If they were lucky, they might be able to completely conquer Anxi.At the same time, Anxi's heavy troops are in Apameia. If you attack them rashly, you will easily be trapped.

When the time comes, the battle will be won, and the wave will take advantage of the situation to rest in peace.

After losing the battle, Bo Tiao gave himself a break from behind to please the Parthian Empire.

If both sides suffer losses, the wave tune will defeat both forces, and the banker will take all.

From this point of view, for the cost of a month's army, this deal is indeed a good deal, and it can even make a lot of money.

"Ardashir, have you ever thought about becoming an emperor?" Zhang He looked at each other, "I mean start now!"

Zhang He didn't believe it when he said he was serving the country and the people and had no ambition to be an emperor.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Ardashir asked cautiously.

"Including Ctesiphon, the north will be the territory of my new dynasty. As long as you agree to this, within this year, we will help you defeat the Kushans, conquer Apameia, and destroy Vorogasis V and most of the nobles , and finally support you to become the emperor." Zhang He said.

After a pause, he continued: "In the final analysis, we are not from here. Otherwise, as long as we have the first-class network foundation, we will choose to completely conquer this place. But if we can't, the problem cannot be made easier for Kushan."

"Just Ctesiphon and the northern region?" Ardashir asked carefully.

He is still young, and even if he has ambition, he does not have the foundation to realize his ambition.

He is now taking advantage of the chaos in the empire to weaken the old aristocracy while accumulating enough foundation to become independent.

What Zhang He didn't know was that the young man in front of him would become a senior official in Fars Province in 208, 11 years later.

When the Parthian Empire was at its weakest, Ardashir received the support of the local secular and religious dignitaries in Fars Province, declared the independence of the Fars region and launched an army against Artabanus V.

From that time on, the Sasanian dynasty was established, and the young man in front of me was the first emperor of this dynasty.

Later, in the war of 224 years, Artaban V was killed, the Parthian Empire was officially destroyed, and the capital was moved back to Ctesiphon.

To put it another way, the original capital of the Sasanian Dynasty was naturally not in Ctesiphon.

It's just that this city has special meaning to the Parthian nation, and it would take a lot of determination to hand it over to others.

If it were 30 to [-] years later, Ardashir would never agree, and the two sides would definitely have to fight it out.

But now that he is only 17 years old, his ambition, prestige, and even foundation have not yet reached their peak, and he has no choice.

"After all, we have put in so much effort, we can't fight for you in vain." Zhang He replied, "Ten thousand steps back, if we help you guard the west, we will naturally help you stop the Roman army."

In this era, the Parthian army had a natural fear of the Roman army. After all, they had been defeated too many times.

Ardashir weighed the suggestion put forward by Zhang He and found that it was not without success.

The main reason is that Ctesiphon was captured by Rome, and its wealth had been severely plundered.

Many important buildings were even brutally destroyed by them.

Rebuilding takes time and requires a lot of investment. The value is no longer that high, so it may not be possible to give up.

"Happy cooperation!" Ardashir agreed to the deal.It's better to say that even if you don't agree, you have to agree first.

"Believe me, we will be good neighbors." Zhang He said with a smile.

With neighbors like this, it is impossible for the kingdom to relax, and the army can maintain a high fighting spirit.

Mainly the civil servants in the court will maintain a sufficient sense of crisis.

Two days later, the main force of Kushan arrived in Sucia. At this moment, the middle door was opened, and it was quiet...

　Ardashir was born in 180, so he is 18 years old this year.Taking advantage of the decline of Parthia, in 208, 11 years later, he declared independence as a consul and established the Sassanid Dynasty.

　　It's a coincidence that in 197, the army did break the Parthian capital of Ctesiphon. This is not a set up by me, but it is indeed such a thing in history.
