God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

It can be said that the existence of Sima Yi himself gave the Sima family great confidence.

Young, capable, energetic, and lacking in both character and will.

Moreover, the family is large and has the corresponding resources to implement such a plan and promote such development in response to the call from above.

Both inside and outside, it has reached an unprecedented level.

This opportunity is something that you have never had before and will never see again.

For the first time, the world between heaven and earth unveiled its mysterious veil in front of the aristocratic families, revealing its true vastness.

"Zhongda, have you made up your mind?" Xu Shu turned his head to look at Sima Yi, and then said softly, "Vologes V has invited you and hopes you can go and observe. What do you think? Do you want to go?"

Faced with Xu Shu's question, Sima Yi rarely made a decision, but fell into deep thought.

Xu Shu had long been accustomed to Sima Yi's situation.

If Sima Yi had made the decision immediately, Xu Shu would have been more surprised.

At the beginning of the new year, they received an invitation letter from Vologases V.

There is not much content in the letter, but it contains a lot of key information.

These included the continuation of the silk trade, the recovery of homeland, etc.

It can be said that Xu Shu was able to infer a lot of information from this letter.

Xu Shu didn't quite understand what was explained before and after.

Whether it is the silk trade or the recovery of homeland, if you look at them separately, they are indeed good things.

One can continue to develop the economy and strengthen economic acquisition, while the other is mainly to increase the land area, which is real merit and achievement.

However, the objects of their selection were basically the Roman Empire, which led to conflicts between the two.

Making money in the Roman Empire while fighting the Roman Empire is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it.

"I'm wondering, should we wait for others before going?" Sima Yi held the letter in his hand, hesitating a little, and explained, "The information revealed in this letter shows the attitude of Vologases V himself, which is also true information. Based on the information in the letter, we can make a reverse inference. In addition, we can use common sense to know that no one will give money to their opponent, especially when they are fighting against them..."

This possibility may exist for an individual because of his or her own stupidity, but at the national level, such a stupid thing is naturally impossible.

If he was really that stupid, he wouldn't have suppressed the Parthian Empire for so many years.

If we deny this stupid idea, there is only one other idea.

That is, the Roman Empire was strong enough, so strong that it could ignore the cost in this regard and was still able to accept the purchase of silk and money from the Parthian Empire and continue the war.

If this is really the case, then for Sima Yi, do the forces in their hands provide a basis for observation?

After all, if you are observing on the battlefield and your own strength is not enough, it is easy for you to be taken away by the enemy.

As for whether the Roman Empire would choose not to attack the Han Empire for the sake of the Han Empire? How is that possible?

Sima Yi would never put his so-called hope on his opponent and then rely on his opponent's stupidity.

"Strength?" Xu Shu glanced at Sima Yi and said calmly, "In the Pamir region, we have a large number of troops, but if we want to participate in the place mentioned by Vologases V, whether to help or to visit, we are destined to send only elite troops..."

There are indeed quite a few people stationed in the Pamir region.

But there are actually not many who can truly be called elite.

The Western Liang Iron Cavalry under the command of Li Jue, Guo Si and others could basically be called elite, but the truly outstanding ones among them were less than 7,000.

Except for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, most of the soldiers were from the Thirty-six Kingdoms in the Western Regions. Although some soldiers were selected and given targeted reinforcement and training, their strength was ultimately affected by their mentality.

Fighting alongside the Han Empire, they were indeed worthy of the title of elite troops, but if they were to fight alone, their strength could only be said to be at the bottom of the same level.

There are also two such troops in the Pamirs area. If we ignore the influence of mentality and willpower, they can be regarded as regular double-talented elite troops.

The only elite troops left from the Han Empire were him and Sima Yi's headquarters.

Xu Shu also understood the actual combat effectiveness level of his own headquarters and Sima Yi's headquarters.

As protection on the journey to the Western Regions, his legion was given special care. Not only were veterans and excellent mounts selected, but they also had targeted talent baptisms and fully armed equipment.

So much so that in the entire Pamir region, the combat effectiveness of Xu Shu's elite headquarters may not be the best, but their equipment is definitely the best.

The overall talent structure and battlefield positioning are also quite consistent with Xu Shu's own spiritual talents.

The heavy cavalry, which has the first talent of attack release and the second talent of accumulated burst, has the power to make the final decision on the battlefield.

It can be said that this is an army with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. If the timing is well grasped, it can change the course of a war. If the timing is not well grasped, it is very likely to bury the entire legion.

It can be said that it is a great test of a general's own ability.

However, Xu Shu was confident that he would not let this legion down.

Sima Yi's headquarters was the rapid-fire battalion that he had obtained from Xu Rong, a reorganized legion that was patched up and barely completed.

Several legions put together did meet all the requirements of cavalry, but in terms of numbers, even with the elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there were only more than 40,000 people.

This force has become the cornerstone for stabilizing the Pamir region. If there are heavy casualties, what will be the consequences?
"Even if we are going to visit, we have to send the real elite troops, and the number is limited..." Sima Yi also had a headache when considering this aspect.

There are indeed quite a few truly top elites who can come and help.

But the amount invested was too large, what would Vologases V think?
But if the amount invested is too small, it means a change in the weight ratio of the power of both parties. Affected by this, his voice will be greatly reduced.

"If it's just a visit, then it's actually better. I'm afraid it's more than just a visit..." Xu Shu stopped and looked at the person who appeared in front of him, and said in a cautious tone.

Seeing Xu Shu like this, Sima Yi also stopped and looked over.
