Chapter 2406 Waiting
...

"Teacher?" Xu Shu recalled in his mind and finally nodded. "Teacher's ability in this area, looking at the whole world, there are probably very few people who can match him."

No matter what he thought in his heart, Xu Shu directly admitted it on this point.

Sima Yi did not refute the compliment. He just turned his head and continued to look west. He put down the items in his hand and said slowly, "There are only a few? That's true. Unfortunately, I am not the Marquis of Chen. It is difficult for me to feel the difference in this aspect."

It’s not a big deal that he doesn’t have any knowledge of economics, but the more he learns about this knowledge and theories, the further Sima Yi finds himself from Chen Xi.

The closer I get to the truth, the more helpless I feel, and at the same time, I can better appreciate Zhuge Liang's efforts and strength.

"The teacher has been busy dealing with New Year matters recently and probably doesn't have time to guide Zhongda. In this regard, I'm afraid Zhongda will have to work harder." Xu Shu, who had already talked with Lu Jun, naturally knew Liu Tong's recent situation, so he didn't disturb him too much.

After all, the Pamir region where they are located is, to put it nicely, a forward post for foreign wars and expansion of territory, or to put it bluntly, a frontier region.

Compared with the various important national affairs near the end of the year, what is happening here is really not worth mentioning.

To put it bluntly, if there is no threat to your life, why bother wasting your teacher's time?
Moreover, if they had to trouble Liu Tong for everything, what was the point of them leaving in the first place? What was the meaning of being independent?

Maybe they cannot compare with the strongest ones in the world, but they also have their own pride and confidence. They are wise men, the top wise men in the world today!
Sima Yi, who had regained consciousness, said with emotion, "I originally thought that Vologases V was just an ordinary emperor, but I didn't expect that the courage he showed in this situation was beyond my expectations..."

"Vologases V is indeed amazing. He has been able to develop to this level in such a short period of time. He really has the support of the people!" Xu Shu pushed out the paper in his hand and said with some admiration.

No matter what time it is, emperors and monarchs who care about the people are worthy of respect.

Even if the other party's purpose and mentality are strange, it does not affect everything. For a monarch, behavior and results are more important.

"The Parthian royal family is actually quite wealthy. They used to have huge wealth but had no way to completely convert it into combat power. Under adversity, it was difficult for them to develop steadily and delay time. But because of our help, they got a chance to breathe..." Sima Yi recounted the past.

Thanks to the fighting of Li Jue and others, as well as the silk trade maintained before, the Parthian Empire successfully enjoyed a relatively long period of peace.

During this period, Sima Yi, who focused on economy and intelligence, was not aware of all the actions of Vologases V, but only had a rough estimate.

But even this simple estimate made Sima Yi remain silent.

Taking advantage of this rare period of peace, Vologases V showed the determination and choices of a wise monarch. He promoted trade to rally the people, and then gathered the people to form an army. With the help of the army, he gradually suppressed the power of various nobles.

On this basis, he improved the connections between the various families and tried to build a new reward system to increase the spending and consolation for military merit.

It can be said that the Parthian Dynasty was very wealthy and did not care about that little bit of consumption at all, because their consumption would eventually be paid for by the Roman Empire, so naturally the high consumption did not matter.

"Watching the Parthian Kingdom becoming stronger day by day is like looking back at the Han Empire. Time really flies..." Xu Shu said casually, but pointed out the most dangerous point for Sima Yi.

That's right, under the current situation, the strength shown by the Parthian Empire is indeed getting stronger day by day. Even if the seven great nobles are not included, the strength that the royal family can currently exert is not only a revolutionary change compared to the past, but also far ahead.

"The Roman Empire is very strong. If they want to take revenge, who knows how many years it will take. But they should not be afraid of the Parthian Empire..." Sima Yi shook his head. In fact, he was not optimistic about the Parthian Empire, nor did he think much of the Roman Empire.

After all, given the status and strength that the Anxi Empire had previously demonstrated, it would be difficult for Sima Yi to overestimate the Roman Empire. Even though everything the Roman Empire showed was so gorgeous and proud, it could not change the preconceived first impression.

The Roman Empire rarely lost to the Parthian Empire, and it cannot be said that it has no record of defeating the Han Empire, but it is always a small force that is fighting head-on.

"The war between empires is not something that can be ended in a day or two. Even though Parthia is in such a state now, it may be able to hold out for several decades..." Xu Shu spread his hands and said half-jokingly, "Just like when we faced the Huns, if we keep running, we still have a chance to escape..."

"Run away? I don't know whether the Parthian Empire will accept such a result. I guess they won't. Vologases V's current condition cannot be said to be very good, but at least it is not bad..." Sima Yi simply smiled at this, then turned his head to look towards the east, not knowing how his letter was delivered.

Although it would be faster to tell Lu Jun, Sima Yi knew one thing more clearly, that is, the deployment and arrangement of large-scale troops would be difficult to implement without evidence.

Whether it is asking for assistance or help, from the court to the lower levels, there is a special system for emergency discussion of similar matters, and it is absolutely procedural and just.

"After a simple internal reorganization, in order to further strengthen his power, Vologases V had no choice but to shift the internal conflicts to external conflicts, using the power and sword of the Roman Empire to complete the internal purge and cleansing. As for how many people were sacrificed in the process, he probably wouldn't care." Xu Shu's personal impression of Vologases V was not that good.

However, Xu Shu himself could still understand the policies that Vologases V chose to implement.

"I just don't know if the other party has the potential to be a hero..." Sima Yi murmured softly, quietly waiting for a reply.
