God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"You have money, but whether you can turn this money into real materials is another matter. What's more, the current Parthian Empire, no matter how you look at it, has not declined to the extreme. ..." Lu Qi looked to the west, as if he could see Ctesiphon in the west across the horizon.

The intervention of the Roman Empire and the northward movement of the Kushan Empire did not mean that an alliance was formed between the two empires and they simultaneously attacked the Parthian Empire.

According to the merchant's description, the Kushan Empire's northward march had nothing to do with the Roman Empire to a certain extent. It was just a matter of expanding its territory.

The entry of the Roman Empire was an expression of self-confidence, an expression of regarding the Parthian Empire as one's own home.

In other words, among the three empires, only the Parthian Empire is in its most embarrassing moment.

"Are there so many troops?" Li Jue listened to Lu Qi's explanation and instantly understood the strength of the Parthian Empire.

In any case, the Parthian Empire, with its seven super-elite armies, can still maintain the prestige of an empire. At least ordinary kingdoms cannot produce this level of power.

After comparing the previously detected intelligence information, Li Jue found that even the camel cavalry seemed to be in the hands of the Parthian Empire and could not take advantage of them.

It's not that the camel cavalry aren't strong enough, it's that the number is too small and not enough to show off.

"Are you surprised? Let us take a guess, can the Parthian Empire with so many elite troops be able to defend its enemies from outside the capital?" Lu Qi directly used simple words to arouse the speculation of those present.

"With such a disparity in strength, how could the enemy attack us at the gates of the capital city? As long as we have some dignity, we cannot let the enemy do this." Wan Peng drew on the history he had learned in the past and spoke from his heart. Said inwardly.

Generally speaking, as long as the enemy attacks you near the capital, it is a humiliating act, and the best way to regain your face is to kill the opponent completely.

A person needs a face, and a tree needs a bark, not to mention the face and dignity of the empire, which is higher than that of an individual.

"Since you ask this, sir, it is certainly not an ordinary situation. Could it be that you can really attack the capital?" Li Jue recalled his own military advisor. Normally, when asking himself this question, he would usually think in the opposite direction.

Regardless of whether this possibility is realistic or not, as long as it exists, it is possible with a high probability.

"With the fighting power of the Roman Empire, it can really reach the vicinity of the capital, but..." Lu Qi recalled the war between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire in the past few decades, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Parthian Empire, which had lost its character, was too pale and powerless when facing the Roman Empire.

And the seven nobles fought on their own, did not obey the emperor's orders at all, and were hostile to each other. How could they send troops to rescue the capital.

Without the seven nobles taking action, Vologis V, who had just taken office not long ago, could not stop the Roman Empire. Even if the Roman Empire sent very few troops, the result would still be the same.

It’s not that the country has no strength, it’s that it has no way to unite its strength and exert force in one direction.

So this is also the reason why the former Parthian Empire hired the Huns, because the royal family of the Parthian Empire could not order the great nobles under them at all.

There was no way to issue orders, and naturally it was impossible for them to pass through the hands of the nobles and reach the people below. To this extent, there is no way for power to flow from top to bottom, and there is no way to find another way for power to flow from bottom to top. This means that the emperor's power is essentially empty.

It's not like a puppet, because it also has an army and the ability to control finances, but to say how strong it is is a joke.

"Is there no way to control the princes under my command?" Wan Peng heard such words and simply filtered them in his mind, roughly understanding the current situation.

"If you put it this way, it's okay. Anyway, there is no difference in essence..." For the seven nobles who rested in peace, it really made those who saw it cry and those who heard it were heartbroken.

The strength of one's own self-control is biased, but little does he know how long it can last if it remains in this state.

Cut off one city today and another city tomorrow. How can there be so many cities to cut off?
What's more, whether it's the great nobles or the national army, the Parthian Empire has not changed its military system for hundreds of years, which is outrageous.

In terms of the general direction of the country's strategy, the Parthian Empire has changed six or seven times in a hundred years, and there is no long-term plan that can be implemented unswervingly.

If these plans could last as long as the country's military system, why would they be so powerless against the Roman Empire?

Xiao Gui, Cao Sui, Jin Ke Yuyan, the Parthian Empire always made strange operations in places it shouldn't be.

However, before everyone could sigh with emotion for a long time, some cavalry figures appeared on the distant horizon.

Looking at these unfamiliar cavalry, Li Jue instantly understood that these cavalry were not his subordinates, nor were they his auxiliaries.

There is a high probability that it is a strange army or a strange messenger.

According to normal operations, when faced with such an enemy, it is best to close the city and respond to the enemy in the same manner as in response to an enemy attack.

But that is a normal situation. For someone like Li Jue, there are less than a hundred people on the other side. If he closes the city gate, wouldn't it look like he is timid.

What's more, with this small number of people, even if Xiang Yu is alive, it is impossible to take Congling!
Therefore, instead of closing the city gates and making the people in the city tremble in fear, it is better to open the city gates wide to show their confidence.

And these cavalrymen who were approaching quickly did not take this opportunity to rush into the city. Instead, they began to dismount quite far away from the city. Only a few people, riding horses, gradually approached Congling City.

Li Jue and others who were standing at the top of the city also began to prepare to walk down from the city wall to see these strangers.

Of course, there are still necessary preparations to prevent the enemy from defrauding the city. On this point, he will never delay things because of his own personality.

When Li Jue was riding a Xiliang horse and followed by several masters, he walked out of the city wall.

Gradually approaching the several cavalrymen, looking at the calm but orderly scene in front of them, their eyes were filled with touching light, and their whole faces were filled with joy and excitement.

This made Li Jue and others a little confused. Then they turned to look at the words on the city wall and the flags on it. They didn't find anything wrong. Then they turned to look ahead again... (End of this chapter)
